Uh-oh! The Quest for Ancient Civilizations conference is coming to Scottsdale in December and I haven't gotten tickets yet! Where will I be without my yearly supply of mumbo jumbo? Thankfully, if you missed this summer's Cosmic Summit, it's the same people presenting their same lame pseudoarchaeology ideas in the same boring context.

In this episode, we'll explore the rediscovery and legacy of Thonis-Heracleion, a sacred port city that was lost beneath the Mediterranean Sea for over 1200 years. During its peak, the city stood as both a major checkpoint for foreign merchants entering Egypt and a spiritual center tied to the worship of Amun, Khonsu, Osiris, Aphrodite, and many more Egyptian and Greek deities.Rituals connected the site to Canopus through the Osirian Mysteries, and I'll share details about the archaeological evidence of these rites, including a sacred barge that carried the statue of Osiris between the two cities. As with its neighbor Canopus, Thonis-Heracleion became closely associated with a Greek mythical hero. According to Herodotus, this was where Heracles (Hercules) set foot in Egypt for the first time and Heracles became syncretized with Khonsu over time.Listen now to explore how the rediscovery of Thonis-Heracleion has helped reshape our understanding of Egypt's sacred coastline during the Late Period and Ptolemaic Dynasty.TranscriptsFor transcripts of this episode head over to: https://archpodnet.com/tpm/24LinksSee photos related to episode topics on InstagramLoving the macabre lore?

There's so much info to share about Canopus that it needed a second episode!In this episode, we take a look at some of the myths and deities associated with Canopus as well as earlier finds that have provided us with important details about the city.According to myth, the city began a the site where a Homeric hero met a gruesome end. It grew to become the main trade hub connecting Mediterranean routes to the Nile, a sacred city of several deities, and an internationally famous center of healing.Under the Ptolemies, Canopus became the site of the Mysteries of Osiris, blending Greek and Egyptian rituals of death and rebirth in order to gain sacred knowledge. We'll explore all we know about this mysterious annual ritual and others that were held here.TranscriptsFor transcripts of this episode head over to: https://archpodnet.com/tpm/23LinksSee photos related to episode topics on InstagramLoving the macabre lore?

In this episode of Ethnocynology with David Ian Howe, I sit down with my good friend and former graduate school cohort member Cassidee Thornhill, Collections Manager at the University of Wyoming Archaeological Repository.Cassidee's research dives into the early contact era in Wyoming, focusing on the arrival and spread of horses before and during European colonization. We discuss her fascinating thesis work on the Black's Fork River site, where a young foal was found buried alongside three coyote skulls—an extraordinary archaeological discovery that sheds light on early human–horse relationships on the Plains.Topics we cover include:The Black's Fork horse burial and its cultural significanceEarly radiocarbon dates showing horses in Wyoming decades before the Pueblo RevoltEvidence of early veterinary care and human–horse bondsHow horses transformed Native economies, sovereignty, and resistanceGenetic research linking early horses in the Americas to Spanish (and later British) stockThe broader story of how horses reshaped Indigenous life across the PlainsCassidee also shares her perspective on whether horses or dogs have been more influential in human history—a big question we love to ask on this show.This episode is the extended interview version you won't find on YouTube—perfect for listeners who want the full deep dive into Cassidee's groundbreaking work.TranscriptsFor a rough transcript head over to: https://www.archaeologypodcastnetwork.com/ethnocynology/24Links:davidianhowe.comDavidianhowe.com/storeArchPodNetAPN Website: https://www.archpodnet.comAPN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnetAPN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnetAPN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnetAPN ShopAffiliatesMotion Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode George takes us inside our own nervous system. For hundreds of millions of years our ancestors have survived unimaginable challenges and these countless events shaped our evolution. To cope with the volatile climates we faced, our body's evolved through survival and today we are carrying around the same software…and it's all still trying to keep us alive.By learning to communicate within our own bodies (via nervous system regulation) we can make end the internal conflict and feel safe, all the time.Hopefully nervous system regulation becomes the new norm and we can finally step into that space age.TranscriptsFor rough transcripts head over to https://www.archaeologypodcastnetwork.com/adhdbce/xxLinksInstagram (@adhd_bce_podcast)Instagram (@sasaharper)MusicYour Story by MusicbyAden | https://soundcloud.com/musicbyadenMusic promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/Creative Commons CC BY-SA 3.0https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ArchPodNetAPN Website: https://www.archpodnet.comAPN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnetAPN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnetAPN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnetAPN ShopAffiliatesMotion Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In the first of this two-part conversation, I'm joined again by Tyrel Iron Eyes (Standing Rock Sioux Tribe) and Chance Ward (Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe). Rather than revisiting their individual career paths, we dive into the shared experiences of being Plains Native archaeologists working within institutions not designed for Native voices. Tyrel and Chance reflect on the balance between professional responsibilities and community obligations, the pride and challenges of representing their Nations in archaeology, and why mentorship and representation are so crucial for future generations of Indigenous professionals.TranscriptsFor rough transcripts of this episode go to https://www.archaeologypodcastnetwork.com/great-plains-archaeology/27LinksThe Archaeology of the North American Great Plains by Douglas B.

At the end of August, archaeologists announced extraordinary new finds from the sunken city of Canopus, located off the coast of Alexandria, Egypt. For the first time in 25 years, artifacts were raised from the seabed, including a sphinx inscribed with Ramses II's name, statues from the Ptolemaic and Roman eras, and shipwreck remains.In this episode, we'll explore both these latest underwater discoveries and geological surveys that are helping researchers understand what caused Canopus to sink, because understanding how people of the past adapted to disasters could help us find solutions for today's climate-threatened coastal cities.Listen now to learn about the artifacts, myths, and history of Canopus.TranscriptsFor transcripts of this episode head over to: https://archpodnet.com/tpm/22Links and ReferencesSee photos related to episode topics on InstagramLoving the macabre lore?

Many different cultures from China and Southeast Asia honor the dead on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month during the Hungry Ghost Festival, also known as Zhongyuan in Daoism and Yulanpen or Ullambana in Mahayana Buddhism. In this episode, we'll trace the origins of ancestor worship to ancient Shang Dynasty Oracle Bones, or “Dragon Bones,” which were used to inscribe petitions to ancestral spirits and hold the earliest evidence of Chinese writing. Then we'll explore how regional variations of those ancient beliefs blended with the Buddhist Ulambana Sutra (or Mulian Rescues His Mother from Hell), Daoist visions of the afterlife, and Confucian teachings on filial responsibility. Over time, these influences eventually gave rise to the Hungry Ghost Festival which has continued to evolve into modern celebrations that weave together ancient traditions and modern lifestyles to honor both personal ancestors and members of the community lost in historical tragedies.TranscriptsFor transcripts of this episode head over to: https://archpodnet.com/tpm/21LinksSee photos related to episode topics on InstagramLoving the macabre lore?

In this episode of Ethnocynology, host David Ian Howe sits down with friend and creator North02 to dive into one of North America's most fascinating and overlooked archaeological stories—the Old Copper Culture.Together, they explore how Native communities in the Great Lakes region began shaping some of the world's earliest metal tools and weapons, thousands of years before metallurgy took hold in Europe. From massive copper swords and fishing hooks to spear throwers and intricate ornaments, this culture reveals a technological world far beyond the usual “stone tool” narrative.We discuss:Why Michigan and the Great Lakes hold the purest copper deposits in the worldHow hunter-gatherers mined and hammered copper into tools as early as 9,500 years agoThe mysterious rise and fall of copper mining, and why production suddenly stoppedConnections to Paleoindian cultures like Clovis and Agate BasinThe difference between copper use in the Americas and the Old World's Bronze AgeHow copper shifted from practical tools to symbols of power and statusAlong the way, North shares insights from his upcoming documentary on the Old Copper Culture, his hands-on experiments with copper tools, and why this forgotten chapter of prehistory deserves a place in public imagination.If you've ever wondered whether North America had its own “Copper Age”, this episode will change the way you think about early technology, innovation, and the ingenuity of ancient peoples.TranscriptsFor a rough transcript head over to: https://www.archaeologypodcastnetwork.com/ethnocynology/22Links:Great Water: The Lost Mines of Lake Superior by David P.

We talk a lot about doing less to get more—but in practice, most organizations end up doing the opposite. When priorities pile up, and nothing gets removed or finished, the result is a familiar kind of chaos: too many projects, too little focus, and an endless loop of adding more in hopes of getting unstuck.This week, Rodney Evans and Sam Spurlin unpack one of the most common organizational dynamics they see: the “more-is-more” trap of priority overload. They dig into why deprioritizing anything at work feels so psychologically and politically fraught, how identity and sunk costs keep teams clinging to low-impact efforts, and ways for leadership teams to prioritize at a org wide level, not just assemble a laundry list of everyone's pet projects.For the full text transcript, visit ted.com/podcasts/fixable-transcriptsFor a chance to give your own TED Talk, fill out the Idea Search Application: ted.com/ideasearch.
