The Great Big Pseudoarcheology Debunk (Graham Hancock, Dan Richards, Jimmy Corsetti)

Professor Dave Explains

What is pseudoarcheology? Just as there is pseudoscience pertaining to physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine, there is pseudoscience that bastardizes archeology as well. Remember Ancient Aliens on the History Channel? We all used to make fun of that. But now, millions of people have fallen for this ridiculous trend, and they primarily worship a disgusting fraud named Graham Hancock, as well as a handful of copycat grifters, such as Dan Richards and Jimmy Corsetti, who are following in Graham's footsteps. What do these frauds say? How exactly do we know they're just lying frauds? Press play to get everything you're looking for and more!

When I was a child, you had to stay up until midnight to hear conspiracies on AM radio. Now they are available 24/7.

When I was in elementary school, an older kid convinced me and some of my classmates that there was a secret passageway under one of the rubber mats on the playground. (There were like 100+ of these rubber mats) and we started pulling up the rubber mats, but they were really heavy, so we jumped on all them and only pulled up the ones that we thought bounced weird.

Now, obviously we didn’t find any secret passageway under any of those, but we didn’t pull every single mat up, so I think i deserve a Netflix show talking about how there could be a secret passageway leading to the mole city under that playground.

there's not a archologist in the world who doesn't want to stick a shovel in the ground and find Atlantis

I love the argument of “well did you dig absolutely everywhere? because if you didn’t dig absolutely everywhere my evidence is probably wherever you didn’t dig.”

"Atlantis of the gaps" is the greatest snipe about Hancock's whole deal that ive ever heard

Always brings me back to the Carlin quote, "Imagine how stupid the average person is and realize that half of them and stupider than that"

This is proof of that. And it's fking sad.

"Have you surveyed 100% of the Sahara Desert? No? Well then I'm totally justified in my belief that a colony of ancient jellyfish live there in a retirement home".

The unjust man says, “Meet me in the middle.” You take a step forward, he takes a step back.

Ultimately most of pseudoscience boils down to "it looks like what I believe"

58:35 Graham not understanding sarcasm actually makes so much sense now looking back… He rocks up on holiday to a remote place, nice rich tourist, asks a local if there are any underwater cities nearby ‘oh yeah, mate, there’s a big underwater city out there alright, we keep catching our bloody fishing nets on it! I’ll take you out and show you for $20…’ that’s where the photos and stories come from 😂

38:52 "There I'm putting my diving knife in between two blocks", therefore the rocks must be remnants of a lost civilization.
Then Joe Rogan: "Do you have any more photos of this that might be more convincing?", to which Graham says "no, that's all I got." What an insane sequence of events

'But have you excavated the whole Sahara desert?' I was screaming "MF have YOU?" the whole time.

I'm gonna give a corollary to Milo Rossi's famous quote "you don't have to make up an invisible shadow government to be mad at, you can just be mad at the actual government:" You don't have to shove some bullshit sci-fi or fantasy into history to be amazed by, you can be amazed by actual history.
