Together, we're redefining what it means, looks and feels like, to be doing "woman's work" in the world today. With confidence and the occasional rant. From boardrooms to studios, kitchens to coding dens, we explore the multifaceted experiences of today's woman, confirming that the new definition of "woman's work" is whatever feels authentic, true, and right for you. We're shedding expectations, setting aside the "shoulds", giving our finger to the "supposed tos". We're torching the old playbook and writing our own rules. Who runs the world? You decide.

Join Fredrik as he digs into Graham Hancock’s latest claims on Ancient Apocalypse, season two, Chapter One. In this episode, skepticism and archaeology meet wild speculation as we explore: White Sands Exposé: Discover how the striking gypsum dunes tell a well-documented geological and biological story—far from the global cataclysm Hancock claims. Amazonian Earthworks: Journey to Acre, Brazil, where newly uncovered mounds and geoglyphs have challenged our historical ideas of the Amazon. But without any traveling white Atlanteans. Science vs. Speculation: Learn why rigorous scientific inquiry and the process of peer review are crucial for testing extraordinary theories. Critical Connections: Examine Hancock’s attempts to tie distant cultures together and why mainstream archaeology—and solid evidence—says otherwise. Tune in for a concise, engaging look at ancient sites, alternative history claims, and why a skeptical mindset is the archaeologist’s best tool.

This episode delves into the ethical implications surrounding using human remains in archaeology and pseudoscience, particularly within the context of ancient alien theories. It critically examines how figures like Jaime Maussan have manipulated human remains to promote sensationalist claims of extraterrestrial involvement in human history, often neglecting the dignity of the individuals represented. The discussion highlights the troubling legacy of hyperdiffusion and racism that usually underpins these pseudoscientific narratives, contrasting them with the self-reflective practices emerging in modern archaeology. As the episode unfolds, it raises crucial questions about the responsibilities of both researchers and the public in handling and presenting human remains. Ultimately, it calls for a commitment to integrity and respect in understanding the past, advocating for a history that honors all of humanity.

This episode delves into the Viking Age burial practices and examines claims made by the Ancient Astronaut crowd that suggest these customs are evidence of alien interference. Together with Professor Howard Williams, known as Archeodeath online, we explore the complexities of Norse burials and the significance of ship burials, which were often associated with high-status individuals. The discussion reveals that Viking funerals were not merely about sending the dead off into the stars, but rather about creating memorable communal experiences that reflected social status and identity. We also challenge the misconceptions perpetuated by popular media, highlighting the importance of grounding our understanding in archaeological evidence rather than sensational theories. Tune in as we unpack the rich tapestry of Viking mortuary practices and the meanings behind their rituals, offering a clearer perspective on the past.

This podcast delves into the peculiar claims made by the show Ancient Aliens regarding the Viking Age. Swedish archaeologist Fredrik and Norwegian archaeologist Steffen Bakk critically examine the episode that suggests Vikings may have had extraterrestrial influences, questioning the validity of such assertions. They highlight the absurdity of claims like Odin’s ravens being spy drones and the possibility of aliens crafting Viking weapons. The discussion tackles the issue of how ancient cultures are often infantilized and misrepresented, reducing complex societies to simplistic and fantastical narratives. Throughout their conversation, they emphasize the importance of grounded archaeological evidence over sensationalist interpretations, underscoring that ancient peoples could achieve remarkable achievements without invoking aliens.

This time, we will look back at two sites we covered in the past, but with some new information and approaches. Today's excursion is based on the Ancient Aliens episode " Mysterious Structures " from season eight. This is basically a clip show from past episodes. A bit of the issue with Ancient Aliens is that they tend to reuse material over time. But to add some new things, I'll discuss Ancient Aliens, Graham Hancock's latest season of Ancient Apocalypse, and a TikToker, all trying to claim Rapa Nui or Easter Island as either Aliens, Atlantis, or both. In the second half, we will look at the Coral Castle and if this modern megalithic structure could be an alien intervention. A hint: it's not.

The episode features a lively and critical dialogue between Frederik and Dr. Charlotte Coull, a public historian specializing in the cultural significance of stone. They explore the problematic narratives surrounding megaliths and ancient sites as portrayed in the popular television show Ancient Aliens. A key focus of their discussion is the site of Avebury, where Dr. Call emphasizes the emotional and historical connections people have with stone structures, urging listeners to recognize the deep cultural roots these sites have in human history rather than relegating them to mere alien constructs. The conversation also touches upon the stone spheres of Costa Rica and their misrepresentation in the media, arguing that erosion and natural processes can explain their shape, rather than attributing them to alien technology. Fredrik and Dr. Coull's engaging exchange serves as a reminder of the importance of critical thinking in the face of alternative histories that often prioritize spectacle over fact. They encourage listeners to appreciate the complexities of ancient craftsmanship and the human stories woven into the fabric of these historical sites, advocating for a respectful and informed exploration of our past. The episode is a compelling call to action for those interested in archaeology and history to challenge sensationalist narratives and embrace a more nuanced understanding of the ancient world.

Monsters have long captivated human imagination, and this episode delves into the fascinating legend of a lake monster in Sweden, specifically the creature said to inhabit Storsjön, or the Big Lake. This tale intertwines with regional identity and the historical significance of a runestone associated with the beast, which adds a unique layer to the narrative of monsters and archaeological artifacts. The legend, first documented by a Danish priest in the 17th century, highlights how folklore can shape local culture and community ties. However, the episode also sheds light on the darker implications of this myth, including the misuse of taxpayer funds in efforts to prove the monster's existence. Ultimately, it raises important questions about pseudoscience, historical narratives, and the balance between cultural heritage and fiscal responsibility.

The legend of crystal skulls captivates the imagination, interweaving tales of ancient wisdom, extraterrestrial artifacts, and mystical powers. However, a closer examination reveals that many of these claims are steeped in modern invention rather than historical fact. Frederick meticulously investigates the origins of the most notorious crystal skulls, notably the Mitchell-Hedges Skull, which has been venerated by some as an ancient artifact with supernatural qualities. Contrary to popular belief, extensive research indicates that these skulls were likely manufactured in Germany, utilizing modern tools and techniques that were not available to ancient civilizations. Throughout this captivating exploration, Frederick addresses the pseudoscientific narratives that have proliferated around these skulls, exposing the lack of credible evidence supporting their supposed ancient origins. The episode further critiques the appropriation of Indigenous cultures in the promotion of these myths, spotlighting how New Age movements often fabricate connections to Native American spiritual practices to enhance the allure of these artifacts. The discussion serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of misrepresenting cultural histories and the commercialization of spiritual beliefs, reminding listeners that the enchanting stories surrounding crystal skulls are often just that—stories—rather than grounded realities. Ultimately, this episode calls for a more nuanced understanding of these artifacts, advocating for recognition of their artistic value while dispelling the myths that have overshadowed their true origins.

This time, we will look at the infamous Kensington Runestone found in the USA and the claims made by Scott Wolter from America Unearthed. Is the stone evidence of templars and Scandinavians in the US? Or is it a creation in modern times? In Digging up Ancient Aliens, our host Fredrik uses his background in archaeology to discover what is genuine, fake, and somewhere in between in popular media, such as Ancient Aliens, Ancient Apocalypse, and many other places. In this episode: What is the Kensington Runestone? 00:01:51 Let the runes speak 00:07:39 New or old Swedish? 00:21:31 The hooked X does not mark the spot 00:26:37 Numbers and runes 00:32:51 Kensington runestone and archaeology 00:45:22 KRS and geology 00:49:49 River kings without rivers 00:54:24 Here come the templars 00:56:24 Why and who? 01:04:15 Find the transcript and sources for this episode here: https://diggingupancientaliens.com/episode-70-the-kensington-runestone Histourian Support the show!

We are going on an excursion to a place of power in the Viking world. Let's explore where the Jarl of Birka most likely had their residence. We will also talk about the work of one of Sweden's first female archaeologists and slavery within the Viking world.

In this extraordinary episode I'm going head to head with Mark, or as he is better known, Archaeosoup. Who is the most knowledgeable regarding pseudo-archaeology? Only one can emerge victorious from this battle! The quiz was created and hosted initially by the very gracious Michelle Franklin. Links to both Michelle and Mark are found here below. Remember, we do not do dinosaurs!

This is the finale of our summer special. The second part of Lucian of Samosata's novel “A True Story.” While the first part is filled with space travels and battles on distant planets, this part will deal with other topics. What was Homer's true nationality, why Pythagoras didn’t like his victory meal, and if Herodotus were sent to the Greek version of hell for his accounts? Lucian of Samosata, a second-century CE author, penned what some consider the first science fiction novel in history, "A True Story." Lucian vividly describes space travel, intergalactic battles, alien beings, and even alien abductions in this short story. However, rather than attempting to write a sci-fi epic, Lucian's work is a satirical critique of contemporary travel books and historical accounts. In this episode, we'll continue to look at Lucian's imaginative narrative and see how it gives us a unique window into the ancient world. Remember to check out our sponsor, Histourian!
