About
Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.
Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.
The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Read more...

The actual "doc" is a pseudo archeologist bullshitting, so it's not the same.
My dirty pleasure was watching Ancient Aliens for some time. I always paused the show when they started to speak about a new topic, read the actual facts on wikipedia, than laughed through the episode. In this kind of shows they mix facts with legends and theorems and straight up bullshit, and don't tell you what is what. So no, it's absolutely not the same.
I liked (not anymore) ancient aliens. If you watch it as entertainment not as fact. I see it still runs new seasons must be kinda on repeat by now.
And part 1 is 54min of this βi watched itβ¦β. Part 1. No thanks.
It's a law of the Internet that it takes significantly longer and more effort to debunk lies than make them. A well researched rebuttal will basically always be longer.
