In this episode of Grandma's Silver, we journey to the heart of historic Charleston, South Carolina, for a fascinating conversation with Dr. Sarah Platt—archaeologist, professor, and part of the team behind a groundbreaking excavation at the Heyward-Washington House, co-lead with John Fisher from The Charleston Museum.Dr. Platt walks us through the layers of history being unearthed—literally—as she leads the College of Charleston's in-semester archaeology field school in partnership with The Charleston Museum. Together, we explore the 18th-century gunsmithing workshop once operated by John Milner Sr., the enslaved artisans who sustained it, and the many lives that moved through this storied site.We talk about what archaeology can reveal that written records cannot, how material culture brings forgotten narratives into focus, and why it's so important to make this kind of work more accessible to students and the public alike.This is a conversation about preservation, participation, and the power of uncovering the past—one artifact at a time.RESOURCES:Learn more about the excavationat the Heyward-Washington House here.Plan a visit to The Charleston Museum and follow along on Instagram.Interested in the College of Charleston's Archaeology program?

If you've been lucky enough to visit Newgrange, you can attest to the fact that it's a pretty impressive structure - so you can imagine just how impressive it was when first constructed over 5000 years ago.Accordingly, it has often been assumed that those who were buried there were part of some sort of ruling class, but new research from UCD suggests that rather than being a grave for an elite family, the tomb was a social hub for the people, frequented by travellers coming from as far away as Sligo.Dr Neil Carlin is a Lecturer in the School of Archaeology at UCD who was involved in the research. He joins guest host Tom Dunne to discuss.

Jessica Smyth, Associate Professor at the UCD School of Archaeology on a new study which shows Newgrange tombs were not just burial places for the elite.

Bones can tell us so much about the past, not just about the ancestry of modern humans (or homo sapiens) but also about the people and cultures of times long forgotten. When we think about Indonesia's place in history, we're often inclined to think about the histories that shape the socio-cultural and political dynamics we see today. But Indonesia's global historical significance goes way beyond this when we start considering how Indonesia features in early movements and migrations of humans and how they might have lived. It's estimated that ancient humans travelled through Wallacea, what we now understand as Eastern Indonesia, at least 50,000 years ago (possibly even before 65,000 years ago) before coming to Australia and its surrounding islands. There is also evidence of pre-modern ancestry- the most famous, perhaps, being the discovery of skeletal remains in Central Java, which became known as the “Java man,” in the 1980s. These were the first known fossils of the species homo erectus. While difficult to pinpoint precisely, the most recent estimates date these remains to being around 1.3 million years old. You may also recall the discovery of the Flores hobbits in the early 2000s, when skeletal remains of a species of “tiny humans” was found. These are estimated to be somewhere between 190,000 to 50,000 years old. Today's guest is very familiar with the information we can glean from old bones. Dr Melandri Vlok has experience working on archaeological projects in Kalimantan and Sulawesi. She's a bioarchaeologist and palaeopathologist who specialises in the Asia-Pacific region. One of her truly impressive claims to fame is her work in the discovery of a 31,000 year-old skeleton which shows strong signs of being one of the earliest known examples of a successful amputation, which you can read about in the highly renowned journal Nature. She's also a member of the exclusive National Geographic Explorers community, having received funding through the program to further her research.

Late last year the Chinese government announced it had approved the world's largest and most expensive, hydropower project on the Yarlung Tsangpo River in the Eastern Himalaya, near its disputed border with India. The project would generate around 60 gigawatts annually, nearly three times the capacity of the Three Gorges Dam, and help them meet their energy transition goals. What they actually intend to build and the impact it could have on the surrounding landscape and the people who call it home is the subject of much debate.

In this episode, Robert and Dr. Manu Seyfzadeh explore the latest claims from a team of Italian researchers who used synthetic aperture radar to detect what may be massive underground structures beneath Khafre's Pyramid—giant vertical shafts wrapped in spiral staircases, a limestone platform housing two enormous chambers, and a possible ancient water system over 2,100 feet deep. While some experts have pushed back against the findings, the potential implications are profound. Beyond the new discovery, the conversation dives into the science behind SAR scanning and seismic resonance, connections to Dr. Robert Schoch's original findings under the Sphinx, and the possibility of validating ancient legends through modern technology. Robert also reveals a remarkable Da Vinci sketch from Codex Atlanticus that appears to depict internal structures of Khafre's pyramid, long before any were known—raising fascinating questions about lost knowledge, time, and consciousness.

In this episode of The Great Plains Archaeology Podcast, we examine the shift from the Late Plains Woodland Period to the emergence of the Early Plains Village tradition in the Central Plains. We explore the changes in settlement patterns, subsistence strategies, and social organization that accompanied this transition, from increased maize agriculture to the development of more permanent villages. What drove these transformations, and how did they set the foundation for later Central Plains societies? Join us as we unpack the archaeological evidence and discuss what this pivotal period reveals about the resilience and adaptability of Plains communities.Links:The Archaeology of the North American Great Plains by Douglas B.

Can we explore the future as if it were an archaeological site? Instead of predicting trends or following hype cycles, future archaeologist Markus Iofcea uncovers artifacts - fragments of possible futures - that help us rethink what's to come.Future archaeologist, co-author of the book Zurück zur Zukunft, and all-round inspiring mind, Markus Iofcea, is here to tell us that yes, the future can be ours to create! He digs in the future to see what treasures he can find in its vast archeological site - except his artefacts aren't the rare remnants of a civilisation gone-by, but rather inventions we are yet to make. Inventions that could change the world!From there, he hypothesises his discoveries infinitely - helping organisations to philosophically explore contexts, variations and parameters to test if an innovation will work well beyond our current, limiting reality.This was one of those rare, fascinating conversations that you won't want to miss - thank you for setting my mind alight, Markus!Find out about:What future archaeology is and how Markus explores the possibilities of the futureFuture artefacts: what they are, how to dig them out, and how to innovate themThe importance of removing an artefact from our current context to prepare for the unknownWhy we must ‘dig' at an innovation for as long as possible, interrogating its logical componentsHow Markus helps the corporate world to excavate innovations, free from limitations and predictionsDon't miss the next episode: subscribe to the show with your favourite podcast player.Links:Watch the video recording of this episode on YouTube.Link to his book Connect to Markus Iofcea:LinkedInWebsiteSupport the show✨✨✨Subscribe to our newsletter to receive a free 1-page summary of each upcoming episode directly to your inbox, or explore our eBooks featuring 50-episode compilations for even more facilitation insights.

What you are about to read in these pages, is part of a long and systematic research begun with the intention of re-examining Plato's works of Timaeus and Critias.Its original objective was exceeded by some of those achieved. The idea was to make a connotatively accurate translation through which to examine the logic of the ancient Greek myths and of Plato the Rationalist in the role of Mythographer. This sort of translation is probably without precedence. It is certainly not commercially viable at this stage. But it does provide the accurate sense of every word, phrase, line, paragraph and passage of the ancient text. To ‘study the logic of myths', means to conduct an examination of a mythical account in order to see whether it contains connotations, terms, expressions or a particular form of writing in which can be identified possible axioms, laws, principles and rules or perhaps a systemic procedure that allows the taxonomy of what is true and what is false. To ‘study the logic of Plato', means to seek the rationale of the mythographer and what method (if any) he applied when writing a myth and to determine whether he combined truths and falsehoods and if so, why.Ultimately, to study what a myth is in purpose and in function because  the Ancient Greek Myths have shown that contain many and important true information. So, why one should write such a true story in a such way that looks false?Plato was preferred because he has always been regarded as the representation of Rationalism, which somehow seems incompatible with creative writing.  Accordingly, the myth chosen as the most appropriate for examination was that of Atlantis because of its workable length -neither too long nor short-, its descriptive elements and the acknowledged authenticity of its author Plato.The results of this taxing, in every aspect, investigation, as the reader will quickly come to appreciate from simply reading the information herein,  were entirely unexpected and cannot be regarded as anything less than astounding.(As a whole, the cost of the first research has exceeded € 200.000 and has run into thousands of man-hours. Besides the wealth of information here, there's much more and just as rich.)Although the project's initial intent was to study the logic in myths and mythographers and which study yielded an unexpected amount of data as well as a formal structure to myths, the investigation went on to lead to somewhere completely different and by so doing, reward the author with a magnificent prize (amongst many), namely, the full decipherment of the myth of Atlantis and revelation of the whole truth!There now remains for the archaeologists to confirm these groundbreaking findings since, History seeks the truth, while Archaeology seeks the evidence.The two parts of the Methodology of Mythology (MoM1 and MoM2) that follow are in brief outline and almost exactly as when presented at an international conference of Philosophy and at other scientific meetings and scholarly proceedings, where they made excellent impressions to corresponding acclaim. They reveal a hitherto unknown dimension to myths, at least to those written by Plato and Homer. It is the application of a singular method which sorts out the truths and falsehoods contained in the myth.  The MoM also revealed a way of writing which conceals information in outwardly straightforward text, information that would have been discernable only to whoever had been instructed as to this esoteric form of writing.The third part of the project is about Atlantis and its analysis in the book ‘The Apocalypse* of a Myth'. It deals with the decipherment of the myth and the identification of Atlantis as a physical entity. The reader of this site is recommended to go first into MoM1 & 2 and then into the part on Atlantis. It is not obligatory to follow this sequence but it will facilitate the reader's realization that the recount of Atlantis is not a ‘regular' story and has much hidden beneath the surface, even a tiny part is presented here. Certainly, Plato's reports do not make for straightforward or easy comprehension. If they did, the ambiguity surrounding Atlantis for the past ~2.300 years would not have remained so mystifying, simply because it would have been resolved long ago. The reader of this website will almost certainly come to appreciate the words of warning and prior notice as to the aptitude for rational thought that Plato demands of his reader.The same challenges in comprehension apply to the completed and comprehensive book ‘The Apocalypse* of a Myth'. A limited advance edition was published in Greek while the main and updated edition is in English. As assessed by many of the 200 or so test readers of the Greek edition, most being graduates from institutions of higher learning, the book ranges from decidedly thought provoking to highly exciting (for all Scientific fields) even if indeed challenging. Most who sought to fully understand all that the book contains admitted to reading it at least twice in full while going over certain aspects of it several times. It was truly gratifying to hear by many that they placed the book amongst those most often visited in their library, because of the plethora of useful information it contains in general for anyone wishing to delve further into ancient historical events or even for philosophical perspectives, irrespective of the Atlantis storyline.https://platoproject.gr/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

"Unveiling America's Stonehenge: Ancient MysteriesDate & Time:Tonight, 7 PM EasternGuest Bio: Dennis StoneDennis Stone is the owner of America's Stonehenge, a mysterious and ancient archaeological site located in Salem, New Hampshire. Known for its complex megalithic structures, astronomical alignments, and enigmatic carvings, America's Stonehenge has been referred to as "America's oldest man-made construction." With over 40 years of experience studying and preserving this site, Dennis has dedicated his life to uncovering its secrets and exploring its connections to ancient civilizations.America's Stonehenge raises profound questions about the origins of North American history, suggesting that ancient peoples with advanced knowledge of astronomy and engineering may have lived in or visited New England thousands of years ago. Dennis will share insights into the site's history, the theories surrounding its builders, and recent discoveries that could reshape our understanding of pre-Columbian America.Topics to be Covered:The History of America's Stonehenge: Origins, purpose, and the mystery of its builders.Astronomical Alignments: Evidence of ancient knowledge of solstices, equinoxes, and celestial navigation.Megalithic Structures: Examination of stone chambers, sacrificial tables, and carvings.Ancient Visitors or Indigenous Builders?: Exploring theories of Old World visitors vs. Native American construction.New Discoveries: Recent findings and ongoing research at the site.Guest Links: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYSrJYOZhIjAhvKkI5lsRZQstonehengeusa.comPayPal: www.paypal.me/typicalskepticmediaCashApp: kalil1121Venmo: @robert-kalilBuy Me a Coffee: www.buymeacoffee.com/typicalskepticWays To show support Typical Skeptic & Patreon,Give Send Go:GiveSendGo.com/https://www.givesendgo.com/2025TSPCONFERENCEWays To show support Typical Skeptic & Patreon, Give Send Go:GiveSendGo.com/https://www.givesendgo.com/2025TSPCONFERENCEwww.patreon.com/typicalskepticJust launced new 25 dollar tier with free coaching sessionIf you ever wanted to learn about podcasting, the dos and donts, or if you have questions about paranormal experiences, targeting, ufo abduction or just general life questions the patreon with coaching session is the way to go.Just Launched 2 new t shirts, hoodies and coffee mugs, working on a third and 4th merch drop today

In this episode, Micah and Jason start the discussion with news from Egypt involving the alluring scents associated with mummified remains. The discussion then turns to news from White Sands, New Mexico. Archaeologists have discovered evidence of ancient transport technology in the Americas, suggesting that early North Americans used travois-like sleds for transport nearly 22,000 years ago. The team is then joined by Wyoming State Archaeologist Spencer Pelton to discuss the latest discoveries from the La Prele, Wyoming Mammoth kill site.  Spencer Pelton is the Wyoming State Archaeologist and an adjunct professor of anthropology at the University of Wyoming. Spencer has maintained a varied career in federal and state government, private, and academic sectors, working in Tennessee, North Carolina, California, Nevada, Colorado, and Wyoming during his 17-year career. He maintains research interests in the peopling of the Americas, but his field projects are increasingly focused on the latest prehistory and earliest history of the Wyoming High Plains and the Rocky Mountains. In addition to his academic and field research, Spencer is interested in the politics of heritage preservation and writes about that topic extensively in his Substack newsletter, Social Stigma.

Finding the original tomb of the royal is one of the most significant developments in Egyptian archeology in recent history. Also, a video of a gloriously creepy anglerfish inspired tears and poetry online. But why was this deep-sea dweller near the surface at all?Royal Tomb Of Egyptian King Thutmose II UnearthedA British-Egyptian team has made one of the most significant Egyptian archeological finds in recent history: the tomb of pharaoh King Thutmose II, who ruled sometime between 2000 and 1001 BCE. This is the first tomb of a pharaoh unearthed since Tutankhamun's in 1922.Thutmose II's mummified remains were found two centuries ago, but they had been moved from his original tomb, the location of which remained a mystery until now. Part of the reason why his tomb's location was such a mystery was that Thutmose II was buried in an area associated with the wives of Egyptian kings, about 1.5 miles west of Egypt's famous Valley of the Kings.Joining Host Flora Lichtman to talk about this and other science stories of the week is Maggie Koerth, science writer and editorial lead of CarbonPlan, based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.Why The Internet Was Captivated By A Hideous FishLast week, a viral video likely floated to the top of your feed: a rare black seadevil anglerfish, which looks like a floating head with a frightening amount of teeth and two cloudy eyes, swimming in azure waters. The fish showed up near Spain's Canary Islands, off the northwestern coast of Africa. It made the news because it was spotted near the surface, while anglerfish normally reside in the deep ocean.So why was she paddling so close to the surface? Was she sick? How unusual is this? And also, why do they even look like that? We had questions.Host Flora Lichtman talks with Dr. Kory Evans, assistant professor of biosciences at Rice University, to separate fact from fish-ction. He also explains new research he helped conduct about the evolutionary history of anglerfish, which could help explain why they look the way they do.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
