Today we are examining the Copper Culture Myth that has recently experienced a revival due to popular media. We discuss the origins of the myth, look at particular aspects of it, like over 1.5 billion pounds of copper missing, and decide what evidence we would need to actually consider that Michigan copper fueled the Bronze age in Europe.
Graham Hancock has a huge post on it on his website, it's not authored by him.
The Ancient Artifact Preservation Society. You really need to dig around on their site. But their main motive is to promote alternative history as fact. They are huge supporters of the whole Copper Culture myth.

Today we talk with Andrew White about the current Giant craze. He gives us the relative origins of the "Giants Among Us" myth and talks about what "Double Rows of Teeth" actually means. We touch on the Nephilim craze and how Giants might just relate back to biblical mythology and may represent a current push of biblical creationism.
