  2. Funny that – Caught a Joe Rogan/ Robert Schoch podcast last night.
    Schoch among others, and to the detriment of their careers I might add, have posited that there are some archaeological sites exceeding way past the 5000 years insisted upon by their inflexible peers. Egypt’s pyramids being just one example.
    Other than admitting they’ve been wrong all this time I don’t know what it is about their brains that doesn’t allow for anything to be older than 5000 years but here we are.

    1. You have to wait for the older generation to retire before you can present new evidence. Otherwise they close ranks and freeze you out.

      Because most of them are socialist a-holes protecting their iron rice bowl, from my experience.

      You can watch Sabine Hossenfelder on YouTube, raging on about the same thing in physics. Nothing of any substance has been done in 40 years, according to her, and the reason is the old-boy network, essentially. They all want a bigger collider, because that’s where the money is, not because it’ll reveal new physics.

      In archaeology the stakes are a lot smaller, so the infighting is much more vicious.

        1. “Sabine was wrong about Climate Science so I stopped watching her.”

          Sabine’s a German chick. If she didn’t speak well of Climate “Science” she would be lynched in the town square. Also, just because you’re a math nerd doesn’t mean you’re good at spotting liars and cheats.

          I’ve seen her be -wildly- wrong about glowball warmening and gun control too. I just skip those and watch the ones where she knows what she’s talking about.

      3. “A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.” Max Planck

    2. What on Earth are you talking about? Nobody disputes that Gobekli Tepe dates to 12,000 years ago and preliminary digs elsewhere in Turkey suggest permanent stonework multi-generational settlements up to 20,000 years ago. The earliest excavations at Stonehenge are 10,000 years old.

      The reluctance to accept the claims of every erstwhile Graham Hancock that comes along comes from the fact that reliable dating is hard, this field is full of grifters looking to make a quick buck by making shit up, and there’s no money for difficult field work.

      Ask any actual archaeologist and they’ll tell you that there’s probably tons of sites in Doggerland that will upend what we know about the history of the Mesolithic British Isles, but until we get down there it’s just speculation.

      1. The consensus among most archaeologists before Gobekli Tepe was that we were hunter gatherers 5000 or so years ago and advanced from there.
        Gobekli Tepe threw sand in their gears because it’s much much older.
        …but until we get down there it’s just speculation….” – Speculation is all archaeologists do, so one man’s speculation is just as good as the other’s.
        I’m more inclined to believe Hancock, Carlson et. al then any mainstream archaeologist who’ve told me for years that 20 ton stones were cut, lifted and fitted using slaves and levers like one sees in Sacsayhuamán, Peru.
        The same people who’ve never built a damn thing in their life but want to tell you they’ve got it all figured out.
        This is what we have to put up with – A string and some red ochre says our learned man of letters. Sheer genius…why didn’t I think of that? Oh, I know why…because I’m not stupid. https://youtu.be/pOznETH5nGY?t=152

    1. You mean antediluvian? Before the flood? Real Old Testament washing clean … yeah a frozen flood counts too.

      1. According to Hancock and Carlson, there would have been a 300 foot rise in sea level when the north American ice cap ash melted after being hit by a comet. And most of humanity lived within a few miles of water.
