Welcome to the final episode of Digging Up Ancient Aliens for 2024! Join Fredrik as he looks back on a fascinating year exploring alternative history and ancient alien theories. This episode recaps key highlights, noteworthy discoveries, and the broader conversations sparked by pseudo-archaeology.

What We Covered in 2024:

  • Ancient Pyramids: We dove into the mysteries surrounding the Djoser’s Step Pyramid, the Giza Plateau, and Gunung Padang. Learn how archaeological evidence challenges ancient alien claims, including critiques of flawed research papers.
  • German Golden Hats: Fredrik explored these fascinating Bronze Age artifacts, possibly used as calendars, and reflected on seeing one in Berlin.
  • The Copper Scroll: Is it a genuine treasure map or a symbolic inventory? We unpack the mysteries behind this Dead Sea artifact.
  • The Shroud of Turin: Investigations revealed it to be a medieval forgery. Discover how historical skepticism and modern reactions offer insights into public perceptions of archaeology.
  • Mayan Civilization: Collaborations with experts clarified Mayan history and debunked myths, including the 2012 apocalypse story.
  • History and Politics: A case study on Poland’s Christ of Europe highlights how states and museums shape historical narratives to suit modern agendas.
  • Kensington Runestone: A detailed analysis revealed how this hoax offers more about modern history than medieval Scandinavians.

Beyond the Podcast:

  • Conferences & Events: Fredrik attended the Theoretical Archaeology Group’s annual meeting, discussing ethical challenges in how human remains are presented online.
  • TAG Ethics Bowl: Stepping in at the last minute, Fredrik's team won the first-ever TAG Ethics Bowl, debating real-world ethical scenarios in archaeology.
  • #RealArchaeology: Contributed to this online event, creating content on topics like lake monsters and Vikings.
