Hello 🦋, I'm an archaeologist & YouTuber
My agenda is clear: fill the internet with #RealArchaeology and oppose pseudoscience
I'm currently writing a book about Atlantis, analyzing sheep teeth from Knossos, teaching archaeological theory, and filming the ultimate video takedown of Graham Hancock

Why does fake shit like this go more viral than reality?
I love fiction, but the actual evidence for our real history is pretty cool too. Don't you think?

A great discussion (albeit long) with Flint and Chris Kavanagh on how they "decode" modern secular gurus on their Decoding the Gurus podcast. It's like the Lays Potato Chips of videos... you can't just watch a minute or two. It'll have you paying attention!
I sat down for an in-depth discussion with anthropologist Dr Chris Kavanagh @ckava.bsky.social to discuss the phenomenon of modern, secular gurus and their influence on our world

Sadly this has had to be cancelled due to low ticket sales meaning that it would make a loss and the overall charity effort was going to suffer.
But @flintdibble.bsky.social & I still like our performance idea so you might see it in another form at some other future event!

We always try to get Nine Lessons shows beyond London - it is never profitable but we hope it makes it accessible for others - This year is CARDIFF - but no one seems to want to come - so we will pull it next week if we see that it is going to lose us too much money

This is a reality check for all of us who may forget that our life and health spans have been achieved only through current medical, and public health, and nutrition advances. The physically perfect individuals depicted in classical sculpture were likely quite rare for their times.

I've found this piece of archaeology fascinating for years, and even brought it up recently while #archaeogaming on my live stream of Hades II (cf Hecate).
The Agora Bone Well is one of the more touching and tragic stories that I've ever heard from an archaeological context
It's sad for sure, but also a story about humanity and resilience in the face of hardship

The Dark Mystery of the Agora Bone Well from Athens. Filled with the tiny, fragile skeletons of hundreds of newborn infants, and 150 dogs. Is this evidence of a gruesome ritual or or a plague, famine, or war? Or something else?
