    Let There Be Darkness: The Dendera Light - Ep 147

    It's time for yet another old school classic!  Today's topic is the Dendera "light," which is a carved image on the side of an Egyptian temple that looks like a light bulb.  Did ancient Egyptians have electric light bulbs?  The full, correct answer to this question is transcribed in capital letters here:  "OF COURSE THEY DIDN'T. PLEASE STOP BULLSHITTING ME."

    Let's Find Amelia Earhart! - Ep 146

    It's Amelia Earhart time!  What happened on that fateful day of July 2, 1937?  We've always been pretty sure that Earhart crashed somewhere near Howland Island, but new evidence may make us VERY sure that Earhart crashed somewhere near Howland Island!  Unlike most of our stories on this channel, this one actually has some real data that is being analyzed using good scientific protocol.  Imagine that!

    Helena Blavatsky - Ep 145

    Continuing on with the whole "I listen to my listeners so I am a good person" situation, this week I'm covering Helena Blavatsky.  Beyond the fact that several of you have asked for this one, I myself have been super curious about Helena Blavatsky, as her name crops up whenever you take a stroll in the Pseudoarchaeology universe.  Of course, if your name is "Helena Blavatsky" then membership in the occult is required.

    Sci-Fi, H.P. Lovecraft, and Pseudoarchaeology - Ep 144

    I want you to know that I listen to you.  As proof, tonight I'm covering the writer H.P. Lovecraft and his relationship to the Pseudoarchaeology world because a listener suggested it!  See, I care (Also I'm a huge sci-fi nerd).

    The Megalithic Temples of Malta - Ep 143

    Malta is an island in the Mediterranean that is super far away from everything else in the Mediterranean.  On this island, there are some temples that were made over five thousand years ago by the farmers that lived on the island.  They used some pretty big stones to make them. There is also a cave there where they buried some bodies. I would label this as "super easy to understand."  Not everyone feels like I do.  Prepare yourself for fake dates, alignments that don't align to anything, and an entire classroom of children that not only disappeared, but never existed in the first place… Transcripts * For rough transcripts of this episode go to https://www.archpodnet.com/pseudo/143 Contact * Kinkella Teaches Archaeology (Youtube) [https://m.youtube.com/c/KinkellaTeachesArchaeology] * Blog: Kinkella Teaches Archaeology [http://kinkellasarchaeology.wordpress.com/] ArchPodNet * APN Website: https://www.archpodnet.com [https://www.archpodnet.com/] * APN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnet * APN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnet * APN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnet * Tee Public Store [https://www.teepublic.com/stores/archaeology-podcast-network?ref_id=5724] Affiliates * Motion [https://www.archpodnet.com/motion]

    The Bimini Road - Ep 142

    Continuing our fruitful discussion on famous geological formations that were not made by humans and don't mean anything, I thought we'd take a cruise down the Bimini Road, AKA "The Stones of Atlantis."  Located in the Bahamas, this pile of stones is the big brother to last week's pile of stones, the Yonaguni Submarine Ruins.   Which one is stupider?  YOU DECIDE.

    The Yonaguni Submarine Ruins - Ep 141

    Deep below the waves in southern Japan, surrounded in mystery and intrigue, there lies a pile of stones.  But wait, is this just any pile of stones?  The answer is yes, it is just any pile of stones.
