Summary
<p>In this episode, join Matt and Chris as they enjoy a stimulating discussion with the archaeologist Flint Dibble. Flint recently appeared on <em>The Joe Rogan Experience</em> to discuss the evidence (or lack thereof) of advanced ancient civilizations facing off against the famed pseudoarchaeologist Graham Hancock. The episode was a four-and-a-half-hour tour de force in science communication and effective debunking, thanks to Flint's efforts.</p><p>We talk to Flint about his experience on the show, the extensive preparation involved, his thoughts on how to effectively engage with pseudo-archaeology and strategies for enhancing broader science communication. Additionally, Flint discusses the significance of authentic archaeological work and the crucial role of academic participation in public discourse.</p><p>We enjoyed this one a lot and hope you will too!</p><p><strong>Links</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/flintdibble" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Flint's YouTube Channel</a></li><li><a href="https://twitter.com/FlintDibble" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Flint on X</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DL1_EMIw6w" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Joe Rogan Experience #2136 - Graham Hancock & Flint Dibble</a></li><li><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/apr/28/lost-civilisations-make-good-tv-ancient-apocalypse-but-archaeology-real-stories-hold-far-more-wonder" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Flint's Guardian Article: Lost civilisations make good TV, but archaeology’s real stories hold far more wonder</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iCIZQX9i1A" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Critical YouTube series on Hancock's Netflix Show Ancient Apocalypse</a></li><li><a href="https://theconversation.com/with-netflixs-ancient-apocalypse-graham-hancock-has-declared-war-on-archaeologists-194881" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Flint's Conversation Article: With Netflix’s Ancient Apocalypse, Graham Hancock has declared war on archaeologists</a></li><li><a href="https://profiles.cardiff.ac.uk/staff/dibblew" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Flint's Cardiff University Profile</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfBrDNaPt7M" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Atun Shei Review: An Archaeologist Debated Graham Hancock.
