    Ivy Insights

    The Pseudo-Archaeology podcast is a highly entertaining and informative show that delves into the world of pseudoarchaeology, debunking myths and exposing the truth behind various theories about ancient civilizations. Hosted by Dr. Andrew Kinkella and featuring guest experts, this podcast is a must-listen for anyone interested in esoterica and archaeology.

    One of the best aspects of The Pseudo-Archaeology podcast is the balance it strikes between being interesting and humorous while also providing accurate information. The hosts have a genuine passion for archaeology and it shines through in their discussions. They debunk common misconceptions and harmful misinformation without insulting the intelligence of their listeners. Dr. Kinkella, in particular, is a fun and engaging host who acknowledges the flaws of archaeology while still being passionate about the field.

    The worst aspect of this podcast is that at times, the treble can be too high which may be uncomfortable for some listeners. Additionally, there is often background noise that can be distracting, but overall, these minor issues do not detract from the quality of the content.

    In conclusion, The Pseudo-Archaeology podcast offers an excellent blend of entertainment and education. It bridges the gap between "Ivory Tower" archaeology and popular Sci-fi views of archaeology, providing listeners with valuable insights into what archaeologists actually do and how they gather knowledge about past cultures. This podcast dispels myths and pseudo-explanations in an interesting and respectful manner, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in separating fact from fiction in archaeology.

    In today's episode, I have rushed over to the microphone to give you a stern rebuttal to the current pseudoarchaeological silliness surrounding Gunung Padang, a non-pyramid (natural geological formation) located in Indonesia. Graham Hancock's current pseudoscience abomination (the idea that this is indeed a super-old pyramid) has fooled more people than usual, helped tremendously by lazy reporting. The bummer with this one (which often happens) is that when it's debunked, the debunking will not make the news, and I will have a generation of people asking me “But what about that pyramid in Indonesia?” - all thanks to the Graham Hancock Misinformation Machine.TranscriptsFor rough transcripts of this episode go to https://www.archpodnet.com/pseudo/129Links Carl Feagans article (great!)https://ahotcupofjoe.net/2023/08/gunung-padang-what-archaeology-really-says/?utm_source=www.google.com&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=Google&referrer-analytics=1 Archaeological Prospection article (fine science with embarrassing conclusions)https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/arp.1912?fbclid=IwAR36fiiAWBk_2Fal_zX1CYToukn7s7QEJE4OgDjfv8bUHOdSwiAk5BO3Vxc Sciencealert article (total misinformation for the general public)https://www.sciencealert.com/giant-pyramid-buried-in-indonesia-could-be-the-oldest-in-the-worldContact Kinkella Teaches Archaeology (Youtube) Blog: Kinkella Teaches ArchaeologyArchPodNet APN Website: 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 StoreAffiliates Motion: https://www.archpodnet.com/motion Motley FoolSave $110 off the full list price of Stock Advisor for your first year, go to https://zen.ai/pseudofool and start your investing journey today!*$110 discount off of $199 per year list price.
