This week we have 3 interesting archaeology news stories. First up, “curse tablets” were found at a Roman villa in the UK. Then, a 1,000 year old bone ice skate was found at a site in the Czech Republic. And finally, we have a discussion about the length of childhood in humans, and how it evolved to be that way and the somewhat overlooked archaeology of childhood.Links Mysterious ‘curse tablets’ and ‘sophisticated’ paintings found at ancient Roman site Archaeologists Unearth 1,000-Year-Old Ice Skate Made of Animal Bone in Czech Republic Grow Slow: Human childhood is uniquely protracted.

Let's dust off our thinking hats and join in exploring two objects brought up in the Ancient Alien episode "Relics" from Season 6, episode 8. First, we will spend time with four golden hats from the European Bronze Age. Some claim they functioned as priestly antennas, but how do they fit into the Bronze Age cult. Then we will move on to the Copper Scrolls, one of the maybe more mysterious scrolls in the Dead Sea Scroll collection. It's a treasure map written on copper and hidden in a cave. That Indiana Jones, Nic Cage, or any other treasure movie franchise has not picked this story up yet is potentially one of our larger mysteries in this episode.

How were the great pyramids of Giza built? This is a question that's been asked for a long time. The answers have been ranging from those based on the best available evidence to the more far-out ideas. Among those there are suggestions that such precision and scale could only be the work of extraterrestrial intervention. But what do the most recent archaeological discoveries and scientific experiments tell us?This time we delve into the true ingenuity behind these monumental structures. The pseudo-historical narratives often propose that the pyramids' advanced engineering and astronomical alignments are beyond human capability.

Giants have long fascinated us humans and seem to be a never-ending resource for archaeological hoaxes. Towards the end of the 19th century, there almost became a trend to create giant hoaxes. In some cases, this was just to amuse; in others, it was to prove the Bible right.In this episode, we will look at three cases. The love lock giant. The San Diego giant. And, of course, the most famous of them all, the Cardiff giant. Let's investigate the origins of these giants and see what archaeology has to say about these cases. What are the sources telling us, and what have other people invented afterward?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 Lovelock giantThe San Diego giantThe Cardiff giantLinks:Episode pageDigging up Ancient Aliens on the web:WebsiteEmailFacebookTwitterInstagramTikTokYouTubeSupport the show:PatreonBecome a APN memberMusicThe intro music is Lily of the woods by Sandra Marteleur, and the outro is named “Folie hatt” by Trallskruv.ArchPodNet APN Website: https://www.archpodnet.com APN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnet APN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnet APN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnet Tee Public StoreAffiliates Motion: https://www.archpodnet.com/motion Liquid I.V.Ready to shop better hydration, use my special link https://zen.ai/thearchaeologypodnetworkfeed to save 20% off anything you order.

In this episode of Digging Up Ancient Aliens, the host, Fredrik, revisits Gunung Padang, a site in Indonesia that has become known due to a study and a pseudo-documentary on Netflix.We compare Ancient Aliens narratives and Graham Hancock's Atlantis Hyperdiffusion Theory. The then-sitting government initiated the excavation project at Gunung Padang in 2011 as part of a strategy to redefine nationalistic ideas and create a new national monument founded on an imagined advanced civilization.Now, both Ancient Aliens, Graham Hancock, and other Atlantis believers claim that the site reveals a 300-foot-tall step pyramid dating back at least 10,000 years. We will spend this episode looking at the hard evidence, the funding, and the reality of the claims, both from Ancient Aliens, Graham Hancock, Danny Hilman Natawidjaja, and others.It will be an information-packed episode where we will discover how pseudoscience actively defunds vulcano monitoring programs. How Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis has been disproven and how to not do your C14 dating. We also spent time among the Toraja people in Indonesia and learned about their culture.

In this episode, we delve deeper into the top ten pyramids of the world according to the TV show "Ancient Aliens." Our focus is on the Egyptian pyramids and the myths surrounding their construction. We will examine the Djoser Step Pyramid, the oldest pyramid on the list, and discuss how it was built as a tomb for the third dynastic ruler, Netjerikhet. We will also discuss the great pyramid builder Sneferu and his contributions to Ancient Egypt's creation of a true pyramid building.One of the most controversial topics surrounding the Egyptian pyramids is the discovery of human remains. Many alternative historians claim that there is no credible evidence of bodies ever being entombed in the pyramids. However, this is simply not true. Carbon dating has shown that at least two pharaohs seem to have been found in their pyramids, and there is evidence of remains in several others. The pyramid of Djoser, for example, contained human remains, although they were found to be from a later burial and not from the pharaoh himself. Nevertheless, the pyramid was designed to be a tomb from the beginning, as evidenced by texts from ancient visitors in the mortuary temple who talk about their visit to the grave.So join us as we separate fact from fiction and uncover the truth behind the Egyptian pyramids. We aim to give you a deeper understanding of ancient history and help you evaluate claims about alternative history and ancient aliens in popular media.

This time, we are going to look at the top 10 pyramids of the world according to Ancient Aliens. I could not tell if the list is based on how significant evidence the pyramids are for extraterrestrial visitation or how cool they are. The episode would also become too long if we did the whole list simultaneously, so this will be a two-parter. You could also view it as a compilation episode of some great pyramids and one farm structure. We will spend most of our time in Mesoamerica and visit Peru and Greece. I think you'll really love this episode; we will even have a case where the Ancient Astronaut believers cite their sources, a real Christmas miracle here.In this episode: El Castillo Teotihuacan Sican Pyramids of Peru El Mirador Pyramid of Hellinikon Guest appearance from Dr Matilda Siebrecht from "Tea-Break Time Travel" and "My Trowel."Links: Episode page Dr Matilda Siebrecht’s work:Websiteinsta: @‌the_archaeologists_teacupfb: /TheArchaeologistsTeacuptwitter: @‌ArchaeoTeacupDigging up Ancient Aliens on the web:WebsiteEmailFacebookTwitterInstagramTikTokYouTubePatreonArchPodNet APN Website: https://www.archpodnet.com APN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnet APN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnet APN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnet Tee Public StoreAffiliates Motion: https://www.archpodnet.com/motion Motley FoolSave $110 off the full list price of Stock Advisor for your first year, go to https://zen.ai/apnfool and start your investing journey today!*$110 discount off of $199 per year list price.
