Truth in the dirt: Combatting pseudoarchaeology
Run time: 15.00 – 16.00
From ancient aliens and lost civilizations, pseudoarchaeology is a growing field of unsupported theories that spread misinformation about the past and often fuel political agendas.
In this era of post-expert information overload, archaeologist Flint Dibble (University of Cardiff) spends much of his time debunking fake theories, including taking on a live debate on the Joe Rogan podcast.
Uncover how sensationalised myths distort our understanding of the past and present and how real archaeological research, grounded in evidence, tells a far more fascinating story.
