Are Archaeological Professional Societies/Organizations Designed to Do Nothing? - CRMArch 273

CRM Archaeology Podcast Icon

Are our archaeology organizations(organisations)/societies designed to be against change? History seems to indicate so. We see actions from the United States Office of Strategic Services' (precursor to the CIA) Simple Sabotage Field Manual put into practice all the time. Many systems sure sound a lot like the Spartan apella - ‘This is not a system for popular decision making, it is a system for consensus building, a system to convince everyone – even if they disagree with the action – that most of the spartiates agree and that they should thus go along.’ In this podcast we look at these descriptions of past control systems and sabotage techniques to see how many can be applied to current organizations (organisations) /societies.

The non-mystery of Puma Punku and Tiwanaku - Aliens 45

This time, we will explore the fantastic ruins of Puma Punku (or Pumapunku), a temple complex located within Tiwanaku (Tiahuanaco or Tiahuanacu). This site lies in modern Bolivia, and its stunning stone masonry has given rise to speculation about alien visitation. Let's investigate the site, what we know, and what has been done in the past. We will see that the alien theories are rather lazy compared to the site's real history and archaeology.

In Digging up Ancient Aliens, our host Fredrik uses his background in archaeology to discover what is genuine, fake, and somewhere in between in popular media, such as Ancient Aliens, Ancient Apocalypse, and many other places.

In this episode:

The History of Tiwanaku and Puma Punku (2:16)

When was the site built, and what is the area's history?

Construction of Puma Punku (20:23)

How was the site built? We use experimental archaeology to learn how the site could have been constructed.

Fuente Magna Bowl (30:24)

A bowl claimed to have been found around Lake Titicaca is claimed to have a Sumerian script on it. Could this be true? Let's find out together.

Ignatius Donnelly: The Pseudoarchaeologist Who Was Also a U.S. Congressman - Pseudo 125

Did you think that Graham Hancock made up all his Pseudoarchaeology stories by himself? I thought so too, until I realized that he simply plagiarized them from a 19th century US congressman named Ignatius Donnelly. Enjoy this week’s story of a truly bizarre, interesting man: author, lawyer, congressman, pseudoarchaeologist, utopian-community-builder, and con artist!

And My Trowel podcast logo

The realms between fantasy and reality have collided and only archaeologists can pave the way through the unknown. Ash and Tilly, armed with two trowels and a backlog of archaeological theory, navigate to new, thrilling worlds, filled with magic and mayhem to answer those burgeoning questions that only archaeologists can answer. “What do you do when you find vampire teeth in a bronze age burial?” “Can you sample ecto-plasm?” “And just how DO you study dragon bones?” With the occasional help of specialists guests they uncover a new realm of archaeology and find out if fantasy is really so far from reality.

Fun with Logical Fallacies - Pseudo 124

Pseudoarchaeology arguments are almost always based on logical fallacies, meaning that the argument they use is not meant to counter a criticism, but instead used as a tool to take the focus away from the fact that there argument is baseless and terrible! I’ve experienced this on multiple occasions - let’s have some fun with the wackiest examples! Count how many of these you have been a victim of in your life, and count how many you have used on others for your own benefit! Humans are terrible people…
