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?

At the midway point, I asked my students to anonymously give feedback to see what's working & improve on what's not
I'm very grateful to see that my students enjoy listening to my lectures as much as I enjoy giving them
I dig archaeology and so do they

As someone fighting stage 4 cancer, I can assure you that this is stupid advice
The new drugs available have turned what used to be terminal illnesses into chronic illnesses with real hope for health and life
This advice can kill people

Every person we turn towards real archaeology, grounded in evidence and a respect for humanity, is a win for the human race

The part that made me laugh out loud in dismay, as I realized how deeply unserious the government is towards its slowly tarnishing jewel of a higher ed system

Had a great time presenting on Fighting Fake Archaeology at New Scientist Live @newscientist.com!
Recorded a podcast with them too, so I'm sure that'll be out at some point

Oh look. You can pay thousands of dollars to listen to people who have never done any archaeology tell lies about archaeology. Such prices show who the real gatekeepers are

According to some on Reddit, my Joe Rogan saga where he has repeatedly and viciously slandered me without cause, has contributed to a decline in listeners to the Joe Rogan Experience
I'll keep fighting back against this slander, and keep picking off members of the cult of fake archaeology

The amount of propaganda today is disgusting
Right wing political violence targeted many Democrat politicians in recent years. Two assassinated in Minnesota, one attempted in Arizona, assault on Pelosi's husband
I'm opposed to ALL political violence, not one sided propaganda

Joe Rogan's shameful treatment of me has revealed to countless people who he really is
Joe's not open minded nor interested in truth. He's just an entertainer captured by the toxic conspiracist wing of his audience. When we go high, he goes low

Extra points for the big white, blunt teeth

An artist first scratched out a weird lionish head whose weirdness is emphasized by the incised lines that didn't trace the paint
at least he's got a bright red tongue!

Ancient Athenian ceramic painters loved to paint Heracles and the Nemean Lion. But it's clear that some of the artists had never seen a lion...
This one looks like the lion in the Wizard of Oz!
