00:00.00 kinkella Hello and welcome back to the psudo archeology podcast episode 133 and I'm your host Dr Andrew King Kella and I've been looking back at 2023 and specifically the shows that I did and I just realized in the last segment that that. This is taking a lot out of me because I'm I'm like reminiscing but as I reminisce I get like a visceral feel you know and in seriousness you guys I haven't looked at these I haven't looked at the titles of these in a long time. You know so I'm like oh my god right? I'm I'm I'm experiencing it. In the moment just like you. So let's see where we're at up to episode episode one 12 it up to. We're already into March the salurrian versus the salutrian hypotheses I used to get these messed up because the names were so similar and 1 of them's about. Um, people coming to the new world across the Atlantic which is reasonably crazy but then the other one. The salurian hypothesis is about is the one about the lizard people deep under the ground which is brutally crazy you know and that's the 1 that's the one where after I did that show I got a letter from a guy saying that he was not going to listen to the entire archeological podcast network because of my show because the one because the one on the lizard people. Dude that was one step too far. 01:35.13 kinkella He couldn't deal. He couldn't do he I'm ah I'm just I'm laughing at my own this is terrible I'm terrible did never laugh at your own jokes um episode one thirteen on go beckley tepe I had a lot of fun making this every so often. Um. I learn a lot on these shows. That's that's one of the funnest times for me I I mean I knew go beckley tepe but it was fun for me to go like point by point and just kind of um, do a bit of a deep dive. You know what I mean and be like and just. Answer it for myself and get a better hold on it I was happy because as I look through it I realized I was saying the right thing sometimes as an archeologist you're like oh wait am I saying that right? you know? but I I was like show. Okay, good good I been. Been telling that story correctly, really interesting. That's another one that the Graham Hancock tools always go like oh then I bet you believe the gobec Lee Tepe was built by Hunter Gatherers it's like oh god you just you so ignorant man you don't even know what you're saying but um, any who that was fun. See I read that title and I'm like oh yeah, it's fun to learn episode one fourteen on the mayas in out days. Dude I got it every so often I got to pick the low hanging fruit. You know I just did ah that's really just my dissertation and I talked about. 03:06.40 kinkella Mike some of my experiences and belizes and stuff that was fun. You know that's one of the themes that kind of comes up in this show is my experiences. Um I've had several people ask me to talk more about my. Like personal experiences in archeology that I'm happy to do but sometimes they don't go sometimes they're not pseudo archeological they're like just archeological and I don't mind I might do one ah one of those you know soon or something if somebody wants again. I'm happy to hear from you guys if you want me to hear ah to like tell more of those stories I'm totally happy to but it does break the pseudo archeology rule and I'm cool with that I dig doing those but I don't want to do it like all the time. But if you if you want me to do a few I'm totally happy to do more of that. Um. Oh yes, and then I started to do some of the movie stuff 151 I did a review of the crystal skull which I still vote as the very most crappiest of all the Indiana Jones movies indian jones for um because I knew as we all did that that's late april. Already knew that the new and Indiana Jones Movie was coming um, then then next 1 episode 161 this is one that is very me. 04:33.45 kinkella And I was worried about doing it because it's kind of weird. This was like I did the face of Mars which is like easy that's classic pseudo archeology stuff. But then I did like I wrapped it into video games I did Zach Mccraken and the alien mindbenders which is a total eighty s game. Which nobody under the age of like 45 would even know what I was talking about but I have such this like memory of that from that time of being like a loser like 14 year old you know like playing this video game. Um, just like. By myself in my room you know and hearing the like disc drive low that me me, me, me, me me me me me, you know as the video game slowly went along I that one I'm always like was that one too weird. You know that's how I felt like behind the scenes I'm like ah did I was that a bad move I don't know um, was fun for me that was like just sort of reminiscing about when I was a young teenager that then one 17 I did the younger dries comet impact the whole like oh the comet theory which has just been. Bastardized so bad by the Graham Hancock acolytes that now it doesn't make any sense like the short answer to that is sure there was um, probably some common impacts around that time but they didn't matter. It was like no big deal. They were like localized. 06:03.70 kinkella You know it wasn't like a huge comet like the dinosaurs or something it was like oh a handful of really small comets maybe hit here and here and here and locally that sucked but hey a couple counties over nobody gave a damn. Um, oh then I went so one eighteen I did shipwrecks and treasure hunting this might. Something I should revisit again. I remember thinking like ooh this is um, like kind of another cool vein to follow out because I do have a background in underwater archeology and I thought that was neat. There are other shipwrecks and stuff that I could talk about that's something. That one might come this year you know I'll talk later in the final segment about kind of plans for 2024 that might be 1 um, ah episode one nineteen remembering my friend cam. That's the one about my friend. Who um, ended his own life about god when was that's about eight months ago or something I have to say that that's my favorite episode I've ever done. That's it. it's number one because I think just feel like it's the best I could do if there was some sort of emmy kind of thing for podcasting. It's like that's the one I would send you know I think it goes through it just it is the best part of the cliche of the emotional roller coaster ride. There's parts of it that are like really sad. 07:39.56 kinkella And parts of it that are really funny and most important to me parts of it that are just brutal honest, you know I I love that episode and I don't know like. Most of these episodes I just make um and then I do listen to them after because I want to see if they come out correctly or come out to how I like um but I have to say I've listened to the my friend cam episode like 8 times. And it just makes me feel better I don't I don't know like like maybe once a month or something I'll be like I'll go jogging and I'll put it on you know and I'll just listen to myself tell this story about my friend you know and. Yeah, that to me that one goes beyond the ah pseudo archeology podcast. You know that's I um I'm okay, saying that like if you have. Friends who are grieving over others who committed suicide or this kind of thing I recommend that podcast man. Oh no, it helps me um what else that brings us to one one 20 oh I talked about. 09:04.54 kinkella This this is another theme where I talk about stuff I I did when I was like a ah a kid you know visiting the Rosa Crucian Museum and my just my my reminiscings on that and again when I was like 11 um that I then I reviewed dial of destiny um episode one 21 and my daughter and I went to go see it and that was so fun for me, you know I'd seen the original Indiana Jones movies with my brother when I was like you know 12 then then going with my daughter to see dial of destiny and her take on things too I thought was so interesting to hear what like a 15 year old would say um. And dia destiny is all over the place you know, but ah in terms of reviews I thought I I thought was okay I put it sort of smacked deb in the center of the Indiana Jones franchise you know it's obviously is not a great movie. It could have been so much better. Ah, they kind of dropped the ball but but it was all right. It was all right is it's complex situation. But then I did last crusade after that you know just to kind of give a point counterpoint last crusade's great. Um. And then right, we're getting in the late summer and stuff we're up into August I remember this that summer this last summer is when I did that video on wired support for archeology the crew at wired um got in touch with me and they wanted to interview an archeologist. 10:36.70 kinkella And that was really interesting. Really fun I've I've done you know Tv stuff before for like the discovery channel or the history channel or that that kind of were the science channel but um, that wired one they were you know that. 10:54.71 kinkella I've enjoyed all my experiences on on all those productions. Honestly, really interesting world but that wired one was really wild for me because I knew it was um, going to be big. For me personally because I was just the only person in it and I think I checked a bid ago I think at this point it's like a 15 minute video I think it has 360000 views. It's like really a lot you know, but that was um, that was fun and I just gave you guys. My. You know, ah a deep dive into what it was like doing that like sort of behind the scenes um episode one 24 then I did logical fallacies I really dig this one like this is one I would recommend as like hey you want to learn some real stuff kids um I almost I go back to that 1 sometimes to remember. Because logical fallacies can get confusing. You know, um, that was that was a fun one for me kind of in that same vein of learning same with the the next one on Ignatius Donnelly Ignatius Donnelly is such a trip and that was a huge learning experience. You know he's like a congressman. From the 1880 s in that world and he he wrote Atlantis the Antediluvian world and like everything that he made up in like 1880 Graham Hancock just straight up stall like. 12:27.29 kinkella Graham Hancock is really just a plagiarist of Ignatius Donnelly it was fascinating you guys when I went into that and both his books that one and then the next one's called like ragnarok I forget that I forget but it's all the like Atlantis. Bullshit like it's it sort of Ignatius Donn provides the framework of the modern Pseudo Archeology bullshit story right? It's and that in and of itself was it was that was one of the most fascinating ones I did for myself personally. I was like wow like when you read Ignatius Donnly's actual words and the chapters you're like Jesus. It's so close they haven't changed Jack in like one hundred and forty years it's just it's really wild. Um episode one 26 I I did sort of. Building your own media empire the stuff I've done behind the scenes. How does this show run behind the scenes that kind of stuff I did that mainly because I'm always curious about that for other people you know, like for their podcast I'm always like man what kind of I wonder what kind of microphone they use. You know I wonder I wonder what they record too. You know and so I just did that to be sort of um, open about like hey this is how I do it. You know this is this is what I do and I I think I talked a little bit about like writing books and making my Youtube channel that kind of stuff. Um. 13:59.18 kinkella Episode one twenty seven we already into October man to see this. We're getting more for me now into like stuff I remember as recent you know? um. My title for one twenty seven I put all right already I'll do the mexican alien story she's that was because everyone was asking me to do that one and I totally appreciate that you guys like I'm I'm happy with a tidal wave of like. King Kelly you need to do this. You know so do do throw a title may wave my way on whatever it is I'm cool with I'm cool with doing it then I then I did curse a king tut which is an old story I've told a bunch of times to my students. That was fun too. I love that story because it's so terrible because it's so unsatisfying. But I recommend I recommend the show. Um one twenty eight yeah oh god yes then we're one twenty nine good un panang is not a pyramid. Ah. this is the this is the current one because I did a Youtube video on this fairly recently like a month and a half ago or something this is one that I get angry people um writing angry missives on my Youtube channel every week on this this. is the one yes it is. 15:27.90 kinkella No, it's not a pyramid like move along. Um, but I just work for big archeology then then I did Charles Itti and Bra Suo De Bo Bo ah just 15:42.85 kinkella He's another kind of pseudo archeology guy but he's one of those early guys in 1880 s you know we're certain things some of these early guys are fun because certain things they do are quite scientific and quite helpful for archeology and then they take like this left turn and do something totally foolish like. At that time you know this eighteen eighty s timeframe. They do something like they'd excavate a site and they do really well and they they get good data and good artifacts and they'd relate it to like the maya and it would all make sense and then they'd be like and that's why all of this came from atlantis and you're like. Ah, you know that it's it's funny like that interesting stuff then one third then I did kon tiki really because my ah one of my students was asking for a couple. My students were ah talking about that Khantiki was fun just to remember it and kind of I'd forgotten. Um. I'd actually I've forgotten how racist some of the k he stuff was just over the top craziness like a but like Thor hired all was talking about a bunch of blonde people in Easter Island or whatever is like so stupid. But um, another one of those varied stories and then finally the one before this. I just did a temple of doom so you know as we've gone over the last year we see those themes that I've done I do movies every so often. Really Indiana Jones ones um I do my own experiences and um I do kind of. 17:17.87 kinkella Old school classic pseudo archeology stuff like curs a king tut you know and in terms of thematically what I'm doing I don't see that stuff changing too much. You know I think I think the next year will bring more on the same theme because it makes sense. It's A.
