There’s a HUGE Problem with Mainstream Archaeology

Archaeology has a major problem…

It’s a vital discipline, teaching wonders and unlocking mysteries of our past

But its also a system that has mocked, vilified, and blacklisted those who dared to challenge it… even when they were right.

Clovis-First is the obvious example, but this isn’t just an old problem...

It’s alive today, deeply embedded in universities, academic institutions, and mainstream archaeology.

The public clearly cares about history and wants to know more. The worst thing archaeology can do is push them away by dismissing their curiosity as "pseudoarchaeology" or "fringe nonsense."

Because if archaeology refuses to adapt, it won’t just lose the debate—it will lose relevance altogether.

Let me know what you think in the comments, and thank you for watching!!
