    The Megalithic Temples of Malta - Ep 143

    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…

    The Bimini Road - Ep 142

    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.

    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.

    Kinkella Visits the USS Hornet - Ep 139

    Kinkella Visits the USS Hornet - Ep 139

    Is the USS Hornet the most haunted ship in America?  No!  How do I know this?  Because my dad said so, and he should know because he worked on it for years!  Also because while there's no such thing as ghosts, tourist dollars are definitely real.

Cashficke ,

Great to listen to in the field

I gotta say this show is super entertaining for me. I listen while I survey and commute to and from different projects. Andrew, I enjoyed the little Toyota Land Cruiser moment in one of your episodes. I have an old fj40 that I used to daily drive in high school and undergrad in NM and your story hit home about cruising the desert hit home haha.

Hysterical while bursting those bubbles

This is interesting, humorous, and balanced. I look forward to every release though the host does debunk a lot of fun theories about past cultures!

I'm_A_WHOVIAN ,

Entertaining and informative!

If you have a genuine interest in esoterica and archaeology, I highly recommend this podcast! The new host does a great job of debunking common and harmful, misinformation without insulting anyone’s intelligence. He is very entertaining and down to earth, and he is passionate about archaeology enough to honestly acknowledge its flaws. If I had a professor like him I might’ve finished my degree. “The only thing I know is that I know nothing.” **Edit: He does sometimes insult people’s intelligence. I can’t blame him.
