Really curious about how aggressive ancient super aryans 2 will be towards archaeologists. It's a bit sad that neo got wrapped up in it. Keep the good fight going ^^
Honestly I’ve always thought archaeologist-chic was dope haha. I do remember as a kid always thinking Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park was super cool (he’s got paleontologist-chic, it’s a subculture lol), though I just googled photos of him… the hat and denim shirt are still cool but I totally forgot he wore a red bandana around his neck, a cute little neckerchief 😂, not sure about that… though, as I am thinking about it, to confidently wear a neckerchief requires a specific type of person. Also it doubles as a tourniquet when you get attacked by velociraptors.

57:32 Steven's hesitance regarding whether it was Galileo who figured out that the solar system was heliocentric is warranted; it was Copernicus rather than Galileo who first laid out the theory (though it was in fact Galileo who later popularized the theory through conflict with the Catholic Church).
Galileo's study and championing of a then 100 year old Copernican heliocentrism idea is what I was heading to the comments to add, but you beat me to it!
Fair, but there is a reason why Aristarchus' hypothesis some 1800 years before Galileo wasn't believed or widespread by his contemporaries, and why Roman Catholic Church banned Copernicanism in 1616 and not "Aristarchism". My point was largely referring to Steven's moment of pause with "wait, was it Galileo really?" because I mirrored that reaction; so I would posit that the point of hesitance and dispute, stands.
@@zeljkokrajnovic165 just to add, because I think its funny. A reason why the Aristarchus heliocentric model was ignored was because Plato, if I remember correctly, "debunked" it by saying "if the earth is rotating we'd have constant high speed winds due to the rotation" or something. There were plenty of astronomers around the world that introduced heliocentric models but lacked the technology to explain the firmament, and other observed "truths"

The "everybody knows what a horse is" quote is from New Athens' by Father Benedykt Chmielowski. Considered the first Polish encyclopedia. The phrase is now a traditional saying in Poland.
Keep in mind that it was a personal passion project of a provincial priest. Also, the full title is hilarious: "New Athens or the Academy full of all science, divided into subjects and classes, for the wise ones to record, for the idiots to learn, for the politicians to practice, for the melancholics to entertain issued."

Something to consider in the discussion of German WW2 artifacts; from here in Maritime Archaeology land, in the US, we have the Sunken Military Craft Act, and that's an agreement that we have with nations like Germany, Japan, and the UK that have warships lost during combat in US territorial waters. There are many German U-boats sunk off the east coast of the United States, and the law treats these places as embassies. German U-boats can be explored, but if they were going to have artifacts removed, permission must be granted by the German government. Some folks had designs on raising these submarines to be made into a museum, and they were prevented from doing so because this law treats these sites as what they are, a war grave.
1:35:15 "Everyone can see what a horse is." (pol. Koń jaki jest, każdy widzi). It's actually a quote from the first Polish encyclopedia authored by the 18th-century Polish priest Benedykt Chmielowski. It's such a popular quote that it became an idiom in Poland.

In relation to burial goods, there was an interesting discovery concerning Vikings funeral clothes a while back. For a time researchers assumed that the clothes Vikings were buried in, were their best clothes from real life (imagine the best dress / suit you would own today). But it was discovered in I believe ibn Fadlan's record of his travel to Volga Bulgaria that at least 1/3 of the entire wealth of a dead person would go into making special funerary clothes, which is like spending the worth of an house and all its surrounding land on these garments. Which just goes to show how certain items from the past can be specifically made to be buried for religious reasons and not be representative of the daily items the people of the past would have used.
Ya sadly replicas usually are given to the place of origin and not museum that made them. I'm part indigenous and my tribe has a sacred meteor that is currently held by the natural history museum in New York. They made a replica and gave my tribe one of the replicas and the other is on display at a local collage. Edit: typo.
The letter to Joe Rogan video was kinda hard to watch tbh. Sad to see a guy you once respected a lot peddle this much misinformation. The redeeming factor is that he’s not the one making up the lies, but the one too lazy to fact-check them.
No, he's also platforming and promoting these lies. He doesn't care whether they are true or not. I'm pretty sure he knows most of them are bullshit, but they get the views. He's a right wing grifter.
57:37 The first person to formally propose the heliocentric model was Nicolas Copernicus, who wrote about it around 1510. (About 50 years before Galileo was born)
Destiny was talking about Persian yakhchāls. Basically using evaporative cooling in desert climates to create ice that they could store in essentially ancient freezers. Dates back thousands of years.
I do not think any of this passive cooling thing was ever efficient enough to produce ice. There are many records of ice being collected in winter and then stored until summer, but do not know of any claiming ice being produced in summer temperatures. I would love to be proven wrong thou.
@@grzegorzach3891 Im not an expert I'm just going off what I read on wikipedia. Maybe there are more scholarly resource that refute it but I think a key aspect is that night temperatures in some desert regions drop drastically. No clue if there is a seasonal aspect to that that just wasn't mentioned though.
@@TheGahta Greece was a part of the Ottoman Empire when a lot of the “stolen” stuff came into British possession, notoriously some famous statues as a sort of good will gesture were sold to a British guy after the British played a major role in stopping Napoleon’s attempted conquest of the Middle East (which mostly took part in Ottoman territories) and negotiated the French army’s retreat, the idea being that the British didn’t steal them because they purchased them from the Turks, who would then be at fault for stealing them from the then subjugated Greeks
As someone who works alongside the Amish in PA. They do use power tools and gas generators but they learn young and work hard. A 20x20 gazebo goes up in one day easy. A 4 bedroom house frame goes up 1-2 days. Impressive.
There’s a lot of different kinds of Amish and Mennonites, some will use some electricity like that, other won’t even use metal shirt buttons because it’s a modern invention.
HEMA instructor and reenactor here; much of what we do is combining the physicality of the human body with historic artefacts and cultural heritage, and recreate as best we can. HEMA is creating a sport from this. I do mostly reenactment, focusing on footwork and grappling. And most of the armour weren't ceremonial, even though some famous ones were. You can do a roly poly in full plate armour, and they weigh fast less than you think. I specialise in compound fighting where you match armour to your weakness, and train towards open exposure where skills closes the threat. Most of sword fighting is using swords as you would a spear, with a few exceptions here and there. We're doing a mix of cultural and artefactual historic archaeology. I also specialise in medieval cooking. :) Great episode, subscribed!
Id love to see Milo on there. The debate with Flint got derailed by Flints racism/nazi comments. It ended up needlessly personal, though i actually think Rogan did a fairly good job trying to direct the discussion back to the topic.
Wrong, I'm glad he brought it up. That's one of the things about the people who follow these theories is they don't actually know where the theories come from, they think they come from Hancock, they come from scientific racism of the early 1900s. That black and Brown people couldn't build this, so white people did it. The truth hurts
@@DoneBrokeDatBack dibble didn't do that the first time. He didn't listen and talked over graham and acted like a child. He refused to apologize for calling graham racist. He also spoke very confidently on subjects he is not in anyway studied. For example his claims about shipwrecks dates and amounts of wrecks found. He was off by almost a thousand years and soundly incorrect about his claim of the amount of wrecks found. It is not his area of knowledge but he spoke as if it was. He also was ridiculously dismissive of the evidence for hunter gatherers to effect their envirment and spread foods that they enjoy eating without farming. The aboriginal of Australia for example or the first nations of Canada and the pacific northwest. This is known and accepted science. Not fringe at all but he denied it because he wanted to argue.
I've really enjoyed these three videos now (this one and the two with Flint and Milo separately) i was already a big fan of Milo, but im also a fan of Flint too. The vibe between everyone in the room was absolutely amazing, packed full of information, and also really entertaining and engaging. Being able to talk about things in a serious tone, while also making jokes always makes for a really entertaining and easy to watch video.
People being conspiracy theorists and pseudo scientists has little to do with missing knowledge, it is a psychological phenomenon. These people want to be more important and interesting by having secret knowledge. That`s why you can`t convince them that their theories are false, they don`t care about fact or reality, they care about the importance and belonging they gain by believing and communicating these theories. It`s still really useful to debunk these theories so that people who just have little knowledge don`t fall into them, but you probably won`t convince the people who are spreading them. It`s also really interesting to learn about actual archeology through debunking, because you automatically have the "wrong conclusion" as a contrast to what the archeologists actually found, which makes it more interesting.
This is a huge part of the equation that a lot of people forget. Conspiracy theories feed into delusions of self-importance and superiority, so truth and reality are never going to be able to break through to someone who is acting out of that desire. But it can definitely help observers and passers-by to understand what's real.
But it's important to debunk it with accurate facts. Flint stated in this podcast that the destruction of the Library of Alexandria was a "nothing-burger" and that monks had copied everything beforehand. He pointed to the wiki of the Library of Alexandria, however when you carefully read it, it actually says nothing like this. Here are the 2 quotes that he somehow mixed up: "It is possible most of the material from the Library of Alexandria survived, by way of the Imperial Library of Constantinople, the Academy of Gondishapur, and the House of Wisdom." This doesn't mean that we know for sure this was the case, it just said it's possible. Also from the wiki: "The library's index, Callimachus' Pinakes, has only survived in the form of a few fragments, and it is not possible to know with certainty how large and how diverse the collection may have been." As for the monks he mentioned: "Ironically, the survival of ancient texts owes nothing to the great libraries of antiquity and instead owes everything to the fact that they were exhaustingly copied and recopied, at first by professional scribes during the Roman Period onto papyrus and later by monks during the Middle Ages onto parchment." But this doesn't reference the Library directly and is just a general statement about all ancient texts. There was a lot of this in Flint's debate with Graham aswell, where he provided evidence, which wasn't really accurate and painted a somewhat wrong picture. There's no shame in admitting that you don't know something, especially when you are on big podcasts, where thousands or even millions of people listen to you and most won't look up the stuff you say.
It’s powerful to create your own cool crowd. Even if shown evidence to disprove the conspiracy it’s hard to fight against the pull of the group think. Especially from a group you created like Graham.
@@xAtiyoxthat bit about the index kind of implies we maybe shouldn’t be so upset about it because we don’t really know that the collection was all that extensive. If the library was just full of tax documents and treaties between nations people wouldn’t have the emotional response they have to the loss of poetry, histories, and stories. It’s an emotional response not one of logic, logic understands fire and flood are part of history and level of loss is to be expected.
Yas, we had a family friend that started talking nonsense about "planet Phaeton" and later I found out he's a member of "Order of Zodiak", which consider themselves real heirs the the Knights Templar and they're doing mental excercises projecting sphers or blocks of some color into people or land or whatever to "stop natural disasters like quakes, tsunamis and tornadoes occurring", to which I asked, but Odesa is on North Black sea, it's so calm you can't surf, there's NO large winds or quakes here EVER, to which he answered: EXACTLY! Guise using this logic it's me a Ukrainian supervixen witch stopping your house from falling on your head, bow down to me! xD
On the subject of man made vs natural rock formations: it’s quite often pointed out by pseudo-dudes that “straight lines and right angles never (or very rarely) occur in nature, so it MUST be made.” To an extent it’s kind of true. You don’t generally see “perfectly” straight lines and right angles in nature…except where you almost ALWAYS do. Take crystalline structures for example, they VERY often form “perfect” lines and angles and “polished”-like surfaces because it’s the NATURE of that material to do so. Basalt columns, as far as I’ve seen, are pretty much always extremely straight, angular, often “uniform” in shape, because that’s the NATURE of that material. It is extremely rare, except when it isn’t.
That’s when you take the time to widen the scope of observation to get a better idea of the context of that environment. Unfortunately many “pseudo archeo bros” rarely if ever try to look at said context and if they do, it’s often confirmation bias.
I could listen to so many episodes with Flint and/or Milo. Great individual interviews. Great interview together. It's so rare to have four people on a podcast and not just end up with people cutting each other off, talking over one another, or have people never finish their point because the others have gone off on a tangent. Great job from everyone on this!
Magnus Hirschfeld in the 20s and 30s was pionering in gender and sexual identity research, even creating the first transgender hospital in 1919 in Berlin. The Nazis burned all of it to the ground and most of the research was lost in the process. I wouldn't call it akin to what people believe to be the impact of the burning of the library of alexandria. But I do believe it is our most recent and relevant event.
Yeah, the library of sexology or whatever they called it! It had detailed notes and records of the first successful gender surgeries (I believe a vaginoplasty, but I might be wrong). Pushed back our surgical knowledge a good 70 years or so.
I was a Graham Handcock fan until I discovered the Milos and Flint. Man oh man, did I feel DUMB! 😅 Keep doing what you're doing guys, it's working! Much love from a former idiot 😂❤
I think about Rome, Alexandria TWICE! the Tigris river, the spanish conquest of central and south America... my heart breaks with those losses... not to mention the ones we just dont know about...
I laughed because Milo brought up a Polish idiom at 1:35:27 In the first Polish encyclopedia there's an entry "Horse: Everyone can see what a horse is" No we use this term to state the obvious en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nowe_Ateny#Legacy
As an archaeologist, I'll make the point that museums that store relics of cultures with no known descendant groups function effectively as respectful keeping places. We are not hoping there is no one left so that we can put artefacts into a museum, we use museums as safe, sacred, respectful repositories to celebrate cultural diversity and allow more to be known about past cultures. Also: Really appreciated the Renfrew and Bahn shoutout! That was my first year textbook and it's a fantastic book and Renfrew still sometimes hangs out around my department
I believe that the segment you are referring to is in reference to the repatriation arguments posed by certain art historians, where big museums like the British museum will use the argument you put forth to defend art kept from known civilizations, with an extensive provenance. Items that have unknown owners is a scenario where that argument may be applicable, however, the argument that “these cultures can’t safe-keep their own art” or “we are letting more people view your cultures heritage” has been used on objects with known owners. Many Art historians argue that museums displaying these objects as “art” delegitimizes the objects spiritual and ritualistic nature and thus, the cultural aspect of the item.
@@fwoogg7067 Ah you mentioned two separate arguments to the ones I mentioned and I agree with your opinions on those matters. I am specifically referring to the section of the debate where they mentioned the idea of hoping for a lack of a descendant culture in order to get to study remnants. There is an alternative perspective -- as I presented -- that better captures the one of most professionals in archaeology, including myself.
Renfrew was a giant among giants, he will be dearly missed. His systems collapse paper was one of the first articles I remember reading that made me love archaeology
@@cashmoneymoney I had just spoken with him a few days before he passed. He was still sharp and engaged with the field. It came as quite a shock and yes, he will be missed.
Finally got around to finishing up all three of the archeology episodes in my free time (usually running some NGS Flint mentions in this episode) and I've got to say these three have been some of the best and most refreshing online content out there in recent memory. Everyone is super passionate and invested in the conversations and it makes them so engaging to listen to
I clicked on this one a bit passively. Didn't think I would be watching this one for most of my work shift but I am :) Set looks great BTW. The sheet diffracting the window light helps a ton. (easy fill light can be diffracted off a ceiling without a box BTW. Easy to fill a room with soft light while saving space. )
The Premodernist would be a very fitting guest for the podcast. He’s pushed back against pseudo-archeological exaggerations like the burning of Alexandria and even more modern stuff like flag revisionism.
DJ peachbcobbler is the best game essayist historical commentator Edit: this is exactly what I wanted from Bridges. Talking to experts about specifics in their field. More of this 🙏
That was a great episode, I liked Flint coming back with a question for Destiny and Erudite. Might be fun to have guests interview the hosts too! Flint is also a good name for an archaeologist.
Destiny joking about where was Jesus's body makes me think how great it would be to have Bart D. Ehrman on the show. Destiny exploring Christian history would be so entertaining.
Absolutely love Mr Flint Dibble and milo, you're both my debunking heroes. However being a brit let's talk about the Elgin marbles. Yes they should go back, I agree, what got my goat going was how you believe we acquired them, let me enlighten you....the marbles were saved from Greece in 1801 by Lord Elgin, the ottoman empire was using the pathenon as target practice. The marbles were taken with permission.They was then bought for 35k by British goverment in 1815. That's the reason we are so reluctant to return them. Many many other things at the British museum have been repatriated Anyhoo great podcast keep up the debunking, especially Hancock 🤘🤘🤘
DJ PEACH COBBLER MENTIONED!!! Hes stuff is well researched and he cites his sources so yea hes pretty spot on thank you Erudite for watching my favorite youtuber of 2024
Omg i love this arc, this is so important today, archology is a great subject, it has all kinds of fake history, conspiracy theories, debunking conservatives/religious beliefs/claims, and most importantly methodology of scientific inquiry
With how many people now don’t believe in dinosaurs which is so easy to prove true, we need people like this to make these conspiracy weirdos look stupid.
Commenting for engagement. Watched quite a few of the bridges podcasts and this is by far the best set so far (including the previous 2 interviews with both flint and Milo as well). Keep it up 👍
@@joec.457he didn't lie about anything. He was wrong on the shipwrecks point which allowed Graham to spin his PR web and make Flint look like a brazen liar. Hancock had 30 years to bring quality evidence to the debate and he couldn't. He's a lying, hack con artist who slanders a whole field of study to make idiots like you believe in his LSD-fuelled, alt-history bullshit.
This was so good. I think you all have a very in depth understanding of the way things work and presented it in a way that was entertaining. I didn't think I would be able to listen to a 3 hour podcast about archeology, but you made it happen.
Recently watched a video about how we put the James Webb Telescope into space and the extreme mathematical precision that took and I will never not be amazed that people think we couldn't lift big blocks.
I think people nowadays forget that, you can have 20 people on a building site to build a house with modern tech, but back then, they might have had 1,000 people working on a single 50 ton block, or 10,000 people working on a single section of something. More people, with less technology, will result in them doing the thing they set out to do.
This was incredibly well done and thorough. It was such a breath of fresh air to hear so many great replies to well thought questions, with barely a sentence of cross-talk and no arguing. This episode could be titled "Thinking About How People Think: We Have Some Thoughts" It was terrific!
We do still have "surge" projects in this society, for example the Apollo Program, COVID vax research, name any massive science & engineering public works project, Manhattan project, etc.
I love what Milo brings up here at 1:53:18. Pseudo-anything is almost always associated with "well why don't we know right now". Pseudo archeology wants the perfect explanation immediately which is just the opposite of how science works. I think the reason pseudo science is proliferating is 1) instant access to confirmation bias & 2) modern society is impatient & expects fast delivery of results. Archeology is not McDonald's.
You cant tell me that if they returned all cultural artifacts to their respective countries, they wouldn't go missing? Sending a priceless artifact back to a small museums around the world would be stolen and sold.
you forgot that the country that request many of the artifact be returened, have built new state of the art museum, nigeria, greece, indonesia, egypt, and other.
They hate europeans. All Steven’s media formats are Europhobic. AE starts at 1-2 AM, finishes by 4-5 AM and is taken offline by 6-7 AM. Even a top g like me getting up at 5:30 to go to the gym will never make it through the podcast. I think Steven does this on purpose because we have culture, food and tradition. Steven hates the idea of mediterranean food, because it doesn’t conform to his core philosophy. He has become one with the United States. He’s a melting pot. And by releasing podcasts at ridiculous hours he wants us to melt too. If it were up to him we would not drink red but boba tea or soy. And we would eat fried oreos like the caricatures that they are.

An example of teamwork still being used today is the Amish using 50 people to move a giant barn. They just get inside it and all pick a point and lift simultaneously. There is strength in numbers...
The Benin bronzes are a complicated subject. They were made from bronze ingots produced by the spanish in their colonies and used to purchase slaves from community leaders in Benin. They were then stolen by the British, sold to various people. Some were purchased by Jewish businessmen in Germany and stolen by the government between 1938 and 1945, then passed through various owners before being owned by museums. It's a complete bag of knots. Should they be given back to the people that made them, to the people they enslaved, to the people they were stolen from in WW2?
Germany gave its Benin Bronzes back and instead of being put into a museum, they immediately got sold to the private collection of the old noble family. So maybe don’t give any more back.
@@Adsper2000 Yeah, that's the unfortunate reality of repatriation. In some instances, repatriation makes sense (returning the Parthenon marbles to Greece, for example), but repatriating artifacts to unstable parts of the world (like the Middle-East or Central Africa) are at risk of being lost or destroyed.
Besides concrete, asphalt is also made different today than it was in the past, resulting is it today being far less durable than it once was. My late father was the Area Road Supervisor for Ventura County, was hired by the county after WWII to help build all the roads which went from Ventura County just stopping at the Los Angeles County line. He knew the secret how to build roads that lasted for DECADES, but sadly didn't pass on his secrets to the two men who replaced him after he retired. When he was an old man and was then living in the Central Valley of California, it made him furious to see the shoddy condition of the roads here, and the hideous repair work done on them. I wish I had asked him what his recipe was, but at the time I honestly didn't give it much thought.

Something to consider in the discussion of German WW2 artifacts; from here in Maritime Archaeology land, in the US, we have the Sunken Military Craft Act, and that's an agreement that we have with nations like Germany, Japan, and the UK that have warships lost during combat in US territorial waters. There are many German U-boats sunk off the east coast of the United States, and the law treats these places as embassies. German U-boats can be explored, but if they were going to have artifacts removed, permission must be granted by the German government. Some folks had designs on raising these submarines to be made into a museum, and they were prevented from doing so because this law treats these sites as what they are, a war grave.
1:35:15 "Everyone can see what a horse is." (pol. Koń jaki jest, każdy widzi). It's actually a quote from the first Polish encyclopedia authored by the 18th-century Polish priest Benedykt Chmielowski. It's such a popular quote that it became an idiom in Poland.
Thank you for including the actual quote.

In relation to burial goods, there was an interesting discovery concerning Vikings funeral clothes a while back. For a time researchers assumed that the clothes Vikings were buried in, were their best clothes from real life (imagine the best dress / suit you would own today). But it was discovered in I believe ibn Fadlan's record of his travel to Volga Bulgaria that at least 1/3 of the entire wealth of a dead person would go into making special funerary clothes, which is like spending the worth of an house and all its surrounding land on these garments. Which just goes to show how certain items from the past can be specifically made to be buried for religious reasons and not be representative of the daily items the people of the past would have used.
We wuz vikangz
Ya sadly replicas usually are given to the place of origin and not museum that made them. I'm part indigenous and my tribe has a sacred meteor that is currently held by the natural history museum in New York. They made a replica and gave my tribe one of the replicas and the other is on display at a local collage.
Edit: typo.
The letter to Joe Rogan video was kinda hard to watch tbh. Sad to see a guy you once respected a lot peddle this much misinformation. The redeeming factor is that he’s not the one making up the lies, but the one too lazy to fact-check them.
No, he's also platforming and promoting these lies. He doesn't care whether they are true or not. I'm pretty sure he knows most of them are bullshit, but they get the views. He's a right wing grifter.

Ah so that’s how Saladin had an ice box in Kingdom of Heaven!
repent to God
I do not think any of this passive cooling thing was ever efficient enough to produce ice. There are many records of ice being collected in winter and then stored until summer, but do not know of any claiming ice being produced in summer temperatures. I would love to be proven wrong thou.
@@grzegorzach3891 Im not an expert I'm just going off what I read on wikipedia.

The Ottoman Empire bears a lot of the blame for what is in the British Museum.
How so?
@@TheGahta Greece was a part of the Ottoman Empire when a lot of the “stolen” stuff came into British possession, notoriously some famous statues as a sort of good will gesture were sold to a British guy after the British played a major role in stopping Napoleon’s attempted conquest of the Middle East (which mostly took part in Ottoman territories) and negotiated the French army’s retreat, the idea being that the British didn’t steal them because they purchased them from the Turks, who would then be at fault for stealing them from the then subjugated Greeks

As someone who works alongside the Amish in PA. They do use power tools and gas generators but they learn young and work hard. A 20x20 gazebo goes up in one day easy. A 4 bedroom house frame goes up 1-2 days. Impressive.

HEMA instructor and reenactor here; much of what we do is combining the physicality of the human body with historic artefacts and cultural heritage, and recreate as best we can. HEMA is creating a sport from this. I do mostly reenactment, focusing on footwork and grappling. And most of the armour weren't ceremonial, even though some famous ones were. You can do a roly poly in full plate armour, and they weigh fast less than you think. I specialise in compound fighting where you match armour to your weakness, and train towards open exposure where skills closes the threat. Most of sword fighting is using swords as you would a spear, with a few exceptions here and there. We're doing a mix of cultural and artefactual historic archaeology. I also specialise in medieval cooking. :)
Great episode, subscribed!
Dude this is awesome. Could you imagine Milo and Flint both on Joe Rogan, just beating Hancock and Rogan over the head with actual facts?
Id love to see Milo on there. The debate with Flint got derailed by Flints racism/nazi comments.
It ended up needlessly personal, though i actually think Rogan did a fairly good job trying to direct the discussion back to the topic.
Wrong, I'm glad he brought it up. That's one of the things about the people who follow these theories is they don't actually know where the theories come from, they think they come from Hancock, they come from scientific racism of the early 1900s. That black and Brown people couldn't build this, so white people did it. The truth hurts
Would be awesome, especially now that Dibble got fact checked for his own shit.
@@DonBuonasera yea to be honest though having fact checked the fact check it got about 70% wrong
@@DoneBrokeDatBack dibble didn't do that the first time.
He didn't listen and talked over graham and acted like a child.
He refused to apologize for calling graham racist.
He also spoke very confidently on subjects he is not in anyway studied.
For example his claims about shipwrecks dates and amounts of wrecks found.
He was off by almost a thousand years and soundly incorrect about his claim of the amount of wrecks found.
It is not his area of knowledge but he spoke as if it was.
He also was ridiculously dismissive of the evidence for hunter gatherers to effect their envirment and spread foods that they enjoy eating without farming.
The aboriginal of Australia for example or the first nations of Canada and the pacific northwest.
This is known and accepted science.
Not fringe at all but he denied it because he wanted to argue.
I've really enjoyed these three videos now (this one and the two with Flint and Milo separately) i was already a big fan of Milo, but im also a fan of Flint too.
The vibe between everyone in the room was absolutely amazing, packed full of information, and also really entertaining and engaging. Being able to talk about things in a serious tone, while also making jokes always makes for a really entertaining and easy to watch video.

@@Dylanhya “Jesus…Jesus Christ”
You and Mr. Slave
People being conspiracy theorists and pseudo scientists has little to do with missing knowledge, it is a psychological phenomenon. These people want to be more important and interesting by having secret knowledge. That`s why you can`t convince them that their theories are false, they don`t care about fact or reality, they care about the importance and belonging they gain by believing and communicating these theories.
It`s still really useful to debunk these theories so that people who just have little knowledge don`t fall into them, but you probably won`t convince the people who are spreading them. It`s also really interesting to learn about actual archeology through debunking, because you automatically have the "wrong conclusion" as a contrast to what the archeologists actually found, which makes it more interesting.
This is a huge part of the equation that a lot of people forget. Conspiracy theories feed into delusions of self-importance and superiority, so truth and reality are never going to be able to break through to someone who is acting out of that desire. But it can definitely help observers and passers-by to understand what's real.
But it's important to debunk it with accurate facts. Flint stated in this podcast that the destruction of the Library of Alexandria was a "nothing-burger" and that monks had copied everything beforehand. He pointed to the wiki of the Library of Alexandria, however when you carefully read it, it actually says nothing like this. Here are the 2 quotes that he somehow mixed up:
"It is possible most of the material from the Library of Alexandria survived, by way of the Imperial Library of Constantinople, the Academy of Gondishapur, and the House of Wisdom."
This doesn't mean that we know for sure this was the case, it just said it's possible. Also from the wiki: "The library's index, Callimachus' Pinakes, has only survived in the form of a few fragments, and it is not possible to know with certainty how large and how diverse the collection may have been."
As for the monks he mentioned:
"Ironically, the survival of ancient texts owes nothing to the great libraries of antiquity and instead owes everything to the fact that they were exhaustingly copied and recopied, at first by professional scribes during the Roman Period onto papyrus and later by monks during the Middle Ages onto parchment."
But this doesn't reference the Library directly and is just a general statement about all ancient texts.
There was a lot of this in Flint's debate with Graham aswell, where he provided evidence, which wasn't really accurate and painted a somewhat wrong picture. There's no shame in admitting that you don't know something, especially when you are on big podcasts, where thousands or even millions of people listen to you and most won't look up the stuff you say.
It’s powerful to create your own cool crowd. Even if shown evidence to disprove the conspiracy it’s hard to fight against the pull of the group think. Especially from a group you created like Graham.
@@xAtiyoxthat bit about the index kind of implies we maybe shouldn’t be so upset about it because we don’t really know that the collection was all that extensive. If the library was just full of tax documents and treaties between nations people wouldn’t have the emotional response they have to the loss of poetry, histories, and stories. It’s an emotional response not one of logic, logic understands fire and flood are part of history and level of loss is to be expected.
Yas, we had a family friend that started talking nonsense about "planet Phaeton" and later I found out he's a member of "Order of Zodiak", which consider themselves real heirs the the Knights Templar and they're doing mental excercises projecting sphers or blocks of some color into people or land or whatever to "stop natural disasters like quakes, tsunamis and tornadoes occurring", to which I asked, but Odesa is on North Black sea, it's so calm you can't surf, there's NO large winds or quakes here EVER, to which he answered: EXACTLY! Guise using this logic it's me a Ukrainian supervixen witch stopping your house from falling on your head, bow down to me! xD
On the subject of man made vs natural rock formations: it’s quite often pointed out by pseudo-dudes that “straight lines and right angles never (or very rarely) occur in nature, so it MUST be made.”
To an extent it’s kind of true. You don’t generally see “perfectly” straight lines and right angles in nature…except where you almost ALWAYS do. Take crystalline structures for example, they VERY often form “perfect” lines and angles and “polished”-like surfaces because it’s the NATURE of that material to do so. Basalt columns, as far as I’ve seen, are pretty much always extremely straight, angular, often “uniform” in shape, because that’s the NATURE of that material.
It is extremely rare, except when it isn’t.
That’s when you take the time to widen the scope of observation to get a better idea of the context of that environment. Unfortunately many “pseudo archeo bros” rarely if ever try to look at said context and if they do, it’s often confirmation bias.
I could listen to so many episodes with Flint and/or Milo. Great individual interviews. Great interview together. It's so rare to have four people on a podcast and not just end up with people cutting each other off, talking over one another, or have people never finish their point because the others have gone off on a tangent. Great job from everyone on this!
Magnus Hirschfeld in the 20s and 30s was pionering in gender and sexual identity research, even creating the first transgender hospital in 1919 in Berlin. The Nazis burned all of it to the ground and most of the research was lost in the process. I wouldn't call it akin to what people believe to be the impact of the burning of the library of alexandria. But I do believe it is our most recent and relevant event.
Yeah, the library of sexology or whatever they called it! It had detailed notes and records of the first successful gender surgeries (I believe a vaginoplasty, but I might be wrong). Pushed back our surgical knowledge a good 70 years or so.
Yep. Most people don't think about the fact that the nazis targeted the transgender people first.

As an archaeologist, I'll make the point that museums that store relics of cultures with no known descendant groups function effectively as respectful keeping places. We are not hoping there is no one left so that we can put artefacts into a museum, we use museums as safe, sacred, respectful repositories to celebrate cultural diversity and allow more to be known about past cultures.
Also: Really appreciated the Renfrew and Bahn shoutout! That was my first year textbook and it's a fantastic book and Renfrew still sometimes hangs out around my department
I believe that the segment you are referring to is in reference to the repatriation arguments posed by certain art historians, where big museums like the British museum will use the argument you put forth to defend art kept from known civilizations, with an extensive provenance. Items that have unknown owners is a scenario where that argument may be applicable, however, the argument that “these cultures can’t safe-keep their own art” or “we are letting more people view your cultures heritage” has been used on objects with known owners. Many Art historians argue that museums displaying these objects as “art” delegitimizes the objects spiritual and ritualistic nature and thus, the cultural aspect of the item.
@@fwoogg7067 Ah you mentioned two separate arguments to the ones I mentioned and I agree with your opinions on those matters. I am specifically referring to the section of the debate where they mentioned the idea of hoping for a lack of a descendant culture in order to get to study remnants. There is an alternative perspective -- as I presented -- that better captures the one of most professionals in archaeology, including myself.
Renfrew was a giant among giants, he will be dearly missed. His systems collapse paper was one of the first articles I remember reading that made me love archaeology
@@cashmoneymoney I had just spoken with him a few days before he passed. He was still sharp and engaged with the field. It came as quite a shock and yes, he will be missed.
Finally got around to finishing up all three of the archeology episodes in my free time (usually running some NGS Flint mentions in this episode) and I've got to say these three have been some of the best and most refreshing online content out there in recent memory. Everyone is super passionate and invested in the conversations and it makes them so engaging to listen to
A 3,5 hour long conversation with competent people talking about history and generally interesting, relevant stuff? Sign me the hell up.
The Nazi vs Aztec artifact argument highlights the difference between history and archeology.

The Premodernist would be a very fitting guest for the podcast. He’s pushed back against pseudo-archeological exaggerations like the burning of Alexandria and even more modern stuff like flag revisionism.
flag culture is a left over Imperial signature for international shipping identification, for most of "history" there were no national flags...

Absolutely love Mr Flint Dibble and milo, you're both my debunking heroes. However being a brit let's talk about the Elgin marbles. Yes they should go back, I agree, what got my goat going was how you believe we acquired them, let me enlighten you....the marbles were saved from Greece in 1801 by Lord Elgin, the ottoman empire was using the pathenon as target practice. The marbles were taken with permission.They was then bought for 35k by British goverment in 1815. That's the reason we are so reluctant to return them. Many many other things at the British museum have been repatriated
Anyhoo great podcast keep up the debunking, especially Hancock 🤘🤘🤘
DJ PEACH COBBLER MENTIONED!!! Hes stuff is well researched and he cites his sources so yea hes pretty spot on thank you Erudite for watching my favorite youtuber of 2024

@robbo03 he was wrong on a lot of things. And regardless of that, He failed to disprove Atlantis existence.
This was so good. I think you all have a very in depth understanding of the way things work and presented it in a way that was entertaining. I didn't think I would be able to listen to a 3 hour podcast about archeology, but you made it happen.
Recently watched a video about how we put the James Webb Telescope into space and the extreme mathematical precision that took and I will never not be amazed that people think we couldn't lift big blocks.
I think people nowadays forget that, you can have 20 people on a building site to build a house with modern tech, but back then, they might have had 1,000 people working on a single 50 ton block, or 10,000 people working on a single section of something. More people, with less technology, will result in them doing the thing they set out to do.
@bridgespodcast great job on these latest interviews! This is great to have Milo and Flint together, a perfect complimentary combo.
This was incredibly well done and thorough. It was such a breath of fresh air to hear so many great replies to well thought questions, with barely a sentence of cross-talk and no arguing.
This episode could be titled "Thinking About How People Think: We Have Some Thoughts"
It was terrific!

Baghdad House of Wisdom is a great example of tons of information/books being lost all at once during the Mongol's siege of the city.

I love what Milo brings up here at 1:53:18. Pseudo-anything is almost always associated with "well why don't we know right now". Pseudo archeology wants the perfect explanation immediately which is just the opposite of how science works.
I think the reason pseudo science is proliferating is 1) instant access to confirmation bias & 2) modern society is impatient & expects fast delivery of results.
Archeology is not McDonald's.

You cant tell me that if they returned all cultural artifacts to their respective countries, they wouldn't go missing? Sending a priceless artifact back to a small museums around the world would be stolen and sold.

Even a top g like me getting up at 5:30 to go to the gym will never make it through the podcast. I think Steven does this on purpose because we have culture, food and tradition. Steven hates the idea of mediterranean food, because it doesn’t conform to his core philosophy. He has become one with the United States. He’s a melting pot. And by releasing podcasts at ridiculous hours he wants us to melt too. If it were up to him we would not drink red but boba tea or soy.

The Benin bronzes are a complicated subject. They were made from bronze ingots produced by the spanish in their colonies and used to purchase slaves from community leaders in Benin. They were then stolen by the British, sold to various people. Some were purchased by Jewish businessmen in Germany and stolen by the government between 1938 and 1945, then passed through various owners before being owned by museums. It's a complete bag of knots. Should they be given back to the people that made them, to the people they enslaved, to the people they were stolen from in WW2?
Germany gave its Benin Bronzes back and instead of being put into a museum, they immediately got sold to the private collection of the old noble family.
So maybe don’t give any more back.
@@Adsper2000 Yeah, that's the unfortunate reality of repatriation. In some instances, repatriation makes sense (returning the Parthenon marbles to Greece, for example), but repatriating artifacts to unstable parts of the world (like the Middle-East or Central Africa) are at risk of being lost or destroyed.
Besides concrete, asphalt is also made different today than
it was in the past, resulting is it today being far less durable
than it once was.
My late father was the Area Road Supervisor for Ventura County,
was hired by the county after WWII to help build all the roads
which went from Ventura County just stopping at the Los
Angeles County line. He knew the secret how to build roads
that lasted for DECADES, but sadly didn't pass on his secrets
to the two men who replaced him after he retired.
When he was an old man and was then living in the Central Valley
of California, it made him furious to see the shoddy condition of
the roads here, and the hideous repair work done on them. I
wish I had asked him what his recipe was, but at the time I
honestly didn't give it much thought.
One of the best episodes so far 😊 great guests, great conversations
