PROMO - Summer Blockbusters: Apocalypto - The Dirt 199

The Archaeology Podcast Network is taking a bit of a break for October, 2022. In the mean time, we’re introducing you to some of the other fantastic shows that we produce. Here’s an episode from The Dirt Podcast about the accuracies and inaccuracies about the 2006 film, “Apocalypto”.

Amber guides Anna through the jungle of the 2006 film Apocalypto...but hopefully a little less racistly than director Mel Gibson did! We’ll talk about human sacrifice, what was (and was not) going on in Maya culture in the 15th century CE, and the movie’s ending that couldn’t be more on the nose if it went “boop!”

The Piri Reis Map - Ep 101

This is the map that proves that ancient civilizations with technologies far beyond our own were able to visit Antarctica back when it was warm there. Wait, are you saying you don’t believe me? Well good for you! This map doesn’t do any of that stuff. It’s still pretty cool on its own though.
