Podcast appearances and mentions of ken feder

The Barkhamsted Lighthouse Village has an exceptionally unusual backstory. The village of around 100 residents was occupied for about 100 years in the 1700s and 1800s in a very remote section of CT's northwest hills. It was abandoned and virtually forgotten until an archeological team stumbled across it and put the pieces together. The story includes a Romeo and Juliet type of love story, coupled with a fascinating twist explaining how a village 70 miles from Long Island Sound got the name lighthouse. The story is told by Ken Feder, Professor Emeritus of Archeology at Central Connecticut State University, who led the archeological digs.

Today we're making a sacrifice to the gods of the algorithm and reviewing an episode of Graham Hancock's Ancient Apocalypse: The Americas (2024). To help carry this burden, we're joined by Dr. Andrew Kinkella, who helps us evaluate claims about the ancient Maya in this series' sixth episode. How did ancient people learn to count? How did they find out that the sun exists? It's a real mystery.Check out Andrew Kinkella's shows:The Pseudo-Archaeology Podcast: https://www.archaeologypodcastnetwork.com/pseudoThe CRM Archaeology Podcast: https://www.archaeologypodcastnetwork.com/crmarchpodcastKinkella Teaches Archaeology: https://www.youtube.com/@KinkellaTeachesArchaeologyGet in touch with us:Twitter: @SotSA_PodcastBluesky: @sotsapodcast.bsky.socialFacebook: @SotSAPodcastLetterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/sotsa/Email: screensofthestoneage@gmail.comIn this episode:Fingerprints of the Gods (1995) by Graham Hancock: https://ia803100.us.archive.org/8/items/fingerprintsofthegodsbygrahamhancock/Fingerprints%20of%20the%20Gods%20by%20Graham%20Hancock.pdfAtlantis: The Antediluvian World (1882) by Ignatius Donnelly: https://archive.org/details/atlantisantedilu00donnuoftKukulkan/Quetzalcoatl: https://www.worldhistory.org/Kukulcan/Palenque: https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/411/Palaeolithic Calendars: https://link.springer.com/referenceworkentry/10.1007/978-1-4614-6141-8_115How to track the solstices and equinoxes yourself: https://johnmuirlaws.com/sun-shadows-exploring-the-solstice-and-equinox/Milky Way Mythology: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milky_Way_(mythology)Ayahuasca: https://adf.org.au/drug-facts/ayahuasca/The Mayan Numeral System: https://courses.lumenlearning.com/waymakermath4libarts/chapter/the-mayan-numeral-system/Serra da Paituna: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5173343/The Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0012825211000262Flint Dibble livestream with Ken Feder for #RealArchaeology: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEimOPN_pO8Homer Simpson deceptively edited: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEGFaOeUm2A

Explicit Tag - this episode contains strong language.  We are joined by Dr. Ken Feder to discuss Mystery Hill (aka America's Stonehenge) and the idea that this New Hampshire set of stone structures might have been built by ancient Phoenicians or medieval Europeans.  (It wasn't.) Episode on YouTube Weirdly topical, as we prepared this episode the Mystery Hill site was vandalized with #QAnon themed graffiti, carved into the stonework.  (Image source: Union Leader) Vandalism spells #WWG1WGA - "where we go one, we go all" a well known QAnon motto. Show Notes: Episode opens with visual revisit of Bimini (see Atlantis in previous episodes). Brief discussion of Nominative Determinism around the current owners of the site having the last name Stone. Re: Stonehenge Battle of the beanfield (Hippies vs Thatcher era police) Spinal Tap perform Stonehenge  Foamhenge (and related: The Dinosaur Kingdom featuring dinosaurs vs civil war soldiers) Hans Holzer wrote and produced (and starred in) this episode. A prolific writer about ghosts and the paranormal, he also wrote extensively about alt-archaeology. He billed himself as "Dr. Hans Holzer" but his degree appears to have come from a British diploma mill.  You can read a posthumous critique of Holzer's work here by Dr. Joe Nickell, noted skeptic.  Barry Fell was a zoologist turned amateur "archaeologist." His work on pre-Columbian North America is wildly unscientific and brutally criticized by actual archaeologists. Much ado is made of the tale of Bjarni Herjolfsson (but the timeline and story are muddled). There is a painful amount of euro-centric "moundbuilder myth" pseudo-archaeology in this episode.  This is the idea that the mound builders could not have been the Native Americans that the colonists encountered but must have been some other (read that as "white") lost civilization.  The simple stone site of Mystery Hill is compared to the ancient site of Knossos. Visually, there is not much similarity.  Legitimate excavations at Mystery Hill were conducted by Gary Vescelius (obit). Vescelius, Gary S. 1956 Excavations at Pattee’s Caves. Bulletin of the Eastern States Archaeological Federation 15:13–14. While registered as a student at Michigan, Vescelius conducted  archaeological research that is still cited. This took place in the area  of Pattee’s Caves near Salem, New Hampshire. Patee’s Caves are also  known as “Mystery Hill” and “The American Stonehenge” because of claims  that some three thousand years ago ancient Europeans settled in the area  and created megalithic structures and astronomical alignments (Feder 1999: 113–122; Fell 2004 [1976]: 81–91).  To test these claims, Vescelius was hired by The Early Sites  Foundation, an organization that controlled Pattee’s Caves. He excavated  chambers purported to be ancient and demonstrated that the buildings  were constructed and used in the first half of the nineteenth century (Feder 1999: 117–118; Vescelius n.d., 1956a, 1956b, 1982–1983).  Although Vescelius no doubt displeased his employers, it is greatly to  his credit that he tackled a controversial problem regarding  transoceanic contacts and reported his findings frankly. He retained his  interest in debunking claims of early European colonization until the  end of his life (Vescelius 1980a; 1982–1983).   Discount Info for Ken's Archaeological Oddities book.  Code is RLFANDF30 if you order off the publisher's site and use the coupon code.
