ENCORE: Kinkella Visits "The Thing" - Ep 98

Dec 19 2024 34 mins  
The Archaeology Podcast Network is taking a break for the holiday season. In the meantime, please enjoy this encore episode. It's a favorite of ours! Happy holidays! Welcome to one of the creepiest nights of my life. Alone on a desert highway one evening in 1998, I decided to pull over into a deserted parking lot.

What's The Deal With Percy Fawcett and The Lost City of Z? - Ep 150

Oct 09 2024 37 mins  
Percy Fawcett was an explorer who is famous for attempting to find a lost city that doesn't exist, and ultimately cutting short his own existence in the process. Still, he's a super interesting dude full of adventure, daring, and traits both good and bad, all of which leads to an unfortunate end of the road in 1925.

"The Atlantis Puzzle" and the Richat Structure: African Atlanteans Won't Leave Me Alone - Ep 149

Sep 25 2024 34 mins  
On yet another special edition of this podcast, I've been asked to review "The Atlantis Puzzle," so I did. Is it the same old pseudoarchaeological nonsense we usually get complete with a retread of the tired and utterly debunked Richat Structure, or have they actually found Atlantis? You be the judge.
