Celebrating Ten Years of My Blog

5/9/2020

29 Comments

 
Picture
With so much happening in the world this year, and all of the work I had been putting into getting two books ready for publication at the same time, I let pass an important milestone. This year is the tenth anniversary of my blog and this website. I started it in the winter of 2010, and I have published most days ever since. It has been a long decade, but one that paradoxically seems to have flown by far too fast.
Over the past decade, we’ve covered a lot of material here. We’ve explored the bizarre claims from Ancient Aliens, America Unearthed, and dozens of imitators, learned about the convoluted origins of Knights Templar fantasies, and traced, sometimes in stupefying detail, the twisted path from Enochian fallen angels to medieval Arabic pyramid legends to modern cable TV conspiracy shows. I translated at least a quarter-million words of previously untranslated texts. I fought the History Channel’s parent company, A+E Networks, to a draw then they tried to force me to cease and desist publishing my America Unearthed reviews in book form. I exposed Jacques Vallée’s sloppy scholarship after four decades of adulation. I was one of the very first to look into the financial entanglements behind To the Stars Academy of Arts and Science, and I identified the probable source of their so-called metamaterials years before they admitted it. I upset the Turkish government by doubting its president’s strange ideas about pre-Columbian Muslims in Cuba. I saw my first book adapted into a documentary for the global Discovery networks, and I chronicled the dozens of other rejected TV offers that proved how much that one documentary was an anomaly in a cable industry predicated on extremism and fabrication. Along the way, I hope we’ve learned some new things and discovered some aspects of history that might otherwise have remained hidden.
 
Next year will mark twenty years since I first began publishing online, which is also why I didn’t remember the ten-year anniversary when I moved to this site. The transition from my first website to this current one happened in stages over time. Originally, I had intended this website to be a professional portfolio to compliment the fringe history analysis and debunking writing I did on my first website. But that didn’t quite work out, and over time, everything moved over here and then grew.
 
It grew because of all of you who read this blog. And Google. But mostly you. But also Google.
 
I took an important lesson from the failure of many of the pseudohistory writers to create rich content for their own websites, or even to have one at all. So I built my Library of relevant historical documents and texts. Google, in turn, reads those as rich content and consequently weights the value of my site much higher than it otherwise would some random blog. It’s the tail that wags the dog. It incidentally lets me leverage my blog posts to rank my own content high for certain Google searches. I remain amazed that the smoke and mirrors trick and a little attention to aesthetics can amplify my reach so much. Now, as then, I punch well above my weight.
 
But, as always, there is a downside. This website, and all of the material I’ve covered on it, has made my name. It also has locked me into a box where the world can’t imagine that I’m able to do anything else. Honestly, it’s a little frustrating to listen to publishers and literary agents tell me that the only thing I can do is what I’ve already done before—especially since they don’t want me to do that either because a certain cable TV channel has made me persona non grata among New York publishers. After two decades, I’m tired of writing the same thing over and over again. To be honest, I had expected that after twenty years, something good would have happened with my writing, but I really don’t have good luck. My new book didn’t even get out of the gate before the COVID-19 shutdown basically suspended media coverage of books, and it vanished down the memory hole.
 
I’m not sure what the next ten years will bring, or even the next year. I don’t plan to stop writing by any stretch, but I would like to have more freedom to expand beyond the narrow box. I’ve spent much of the quarantine period writing a novel. That isn’t exactly new for me.

Bravo Jason, I've been an avid reader of your blog since I discovered it about 5 years ago. I have reread your Jason and the Argonauts book and continue to ponder its wealth of important info. As both a skeptic and someone who's been encountering the unexplainable for many decades, I recognize you as a quality voice of clarity, intelligence, and thoughtful questioning. You don't mince words or show weakness! I look forward to future posts and reading your novel(s). Kind regards, Jo

Congrats. And if that box has pegged you in - maybe it’s time you expand the box. Google will catch up. (By which I mean, write on new topics that push others to see your work differently).

Colavito supports his views through the critical research of sources and his blog is the best.

Academic books will be discovered by those interested in the topic at hand, which Karl Popper would say is a problem to be solved. Colavito proposed his academic solution to the problem of the historiography of the mounds.

Congratulation on 10 years of writing and editing a "must read" blog. I've enjoyed reading it every day for the past few years, and look forward to many more years insightful and interesting observations and opinions. Keep up the good work and "fight the good fight".

¡Buena suerte para ti y tu novela! ¡Recuerda! Es más fácil decir la verdad con la ficción que con la historia.

All the Best,

You got me to thinking.

You understood that you have to own your internet platform.
If you want to break that box, give us a translation of Al Idrisi, playing to your strength.
As far as finding an agent for your novel, you do not understand the uses of print on demand, particularly in the fiction market.
Your current book needs improvement to make it a great book.
If you do not rewrite it, and re-illustrate it, someone else will.

The last 10 years for me:
I am sheltering in place with my lady friend across from the Great Ring here in Newark.
My left hand works well enough to type short messages with difficulty with spell correction. That is down from 30,000-40,000 words with two or three typos.

I lived long enough to see the NEOcam become national policy.
I expect that knowledge of recent asteroid and comet impacts and their effects on people will become better known.
I am fed up with the stupidity and lack of progress here in Ohio,
though that will change over the next decade. Particularly in regard to the Andaste.

Man and Impact in the Americas is sold out. It becomes a collectable now.

In the future -

I enjoy working with European materials, and intend to use the internet to publish earlier work in the future. Whatever happens with Mr. Trump, and it may be very very bad, I can leave.

Your son will get older.
Someday you may understand the importance of Augustus LePlongeon to all of the nonsense.

Good luck.

Congratulations on the blog anniversary, Jason.

Hope the novel goes well!

I'd read "Moundbuilders" before the Covid-19 outbreak really took off, and can recommend it.

Congratulations! You achieved a lot and your work is well-received by many, I can assure you.

I fully understand the complaints. I have the same feeling with the Atlantis theme. But fortunately, this topic has a lot of opportunities to step aside: Philosophy, politics, history, geography, literature and the arts ....... travelling, of course!

The coronavirus crisis makes many people stay at home, having holidays in their home land. Maybe you could encourage them to visit some mounds and other places of interest?

Does your book have a page with a map pointing to all the mounds' locations? This could attract readers of your page and of your book.

Writing novels is an interesting idea, too.

You could develop a kind of catalogue of typical pseudoscientific claims in history, and then just pointing to the classification scheme when judging repeatedly published pieces of pseudoscience.

You have explored a lot of typically Christian pseudohistory, but there are also typical Islamic pseudohistorical views. You could dig deeper into that. E.g. misconceptions about the beginnings of Islam (of traditionalist Muslims as well as of Muslim haters). Misconceptions about the glorious (?) conquests in the name of Islam. etc.

Or you could start creating youtube videos. You will reach people there you wouldn't reach otherwise. I know, it is difficult and costs time (I am not a hero in this discipline), but once you created the skills, you are part of the show :-)

with a map pointing to all the mounds' locations? This could attract readers of your Web page and of your book.

A tip of the topper from a relative late comer to your blog. Your blog provides a great diversion and fun insight into the dark side (or maybe slightly shady side) Seems as if you are writing a novel, you have an endless source of inspiration from your blog, especially if a fictional novel.Thank you and best of luck in your endeavors.

Not sure how it all works, but is submitting under a pen name an option to get depigeon-holed?

dear Jason,
simple. offer the book under a pseudonym. I sold my first two books under a pen-name because they were true-life humour, and I wanted to write SF/F and not have the genres confused.. However several years later when I had sold SF/F books under my own name, several more of the original series came out, also under my real name.

Partially because I value my privacy, and partially because I value the freedom that writing under a nom-de-plume affords me, I have very rarely published under my real name. I have "ghosted" books and articles for others and found that to be quite lucrative. I enjoyed the anonymity ( and safety ) when skewering certain corporate thieves and politicians in works of fiction or theatrical presentations. I definitely relish, here in Latin America, the security of being able to have my opinions published without direct repercussions against me or my family.
There's a lot to be said for using a pen-name, rather than exposing yourself. Sometimes, you learn a lot more when people don't know you are a writer.

If you ever get too bored, remember you can always claim an alien abduction. They say that only Nixon could go to China, so surely only Jason Colavito could go to Zeta Reticuli and be that convincing.

Someone mentioned youtube above. As much as I hate to say it, if you want to get your ideas out to the younger generation you really have to have a presence out there. I see a lot of them who aren't full blown conspiracy nuts but have their minds kind of warped by watching too much paranoid stuff on youtube, so I wish our side had more of a presence there.

Gotta remember to add this to my bucket list.

I don't know if you've talked about it already, but I'm watching a show called Curse of The Bermuda Triangle on Discovery Channel in which a group called the TRIG team investigates the "mysteries" of the Bermuda Triangle. It's reasonably balanced: the group always makes a serious effort to find rational explanations for the mysteries.

"It grew because of all of you who read this blog. And Google. But mostly you. But also Google."

A great deal of credit should go to SW and other people you've had drama with. Mainly SW. The two of you, and AB have become linked together on every Google search. I realized a few years ago, I had seen you on TV. Staying at a hotel with a limited cable package, I caught something called the "Military Channel" in the middle of the night. One of the programs shown had interviews with flying wing test pilots. This was the night, I realized what Kenneth Arnold actually saw. Program also identified many UFO photos as early stealth aircraft.

Note to Kent- This is how I know the identity of the UFO photos I've provided links for in the past. They were identified by military officials as such.


"I took an important lesson from the failure of many of the pseudohistory writers to create rich content for their own websites, or even to have one at all. So I built my Library of relevant historical documents and texts."

I do appreciate the links provided to translations of Arabic texts. Albeit a translation of a translation from French. I wish, I knew French translations existed in high school when, I was more fluent in reading French. At that age, I was more in the pursuit of girls than knowledge.


[But, as always, there is a downside. This website, and all of the material I’ve covered on it, has made my name. It also has locked me into a box where the world can’t imagine that I’m able to do anything else. Honestly, it’s a little frustrating to listen to publishers and literary agents tell me that the only thing I can do is what I’ve already done before—especially since they don’t want me to do that either because a certain cable TV channel has made me persona non grata among New York publishers. After two decades, I’m tired of writing the same thing over and over again. To be honest, I had expected that after twenty years, something good would have happened with my writing, but I really don’t have good luck. My new book didn’t even get out of the gate before the COVID-19 shutdown basically suspended media coverage of books, and it vanished down the memory hole.]


COME ON, MAN!!! You have had at least eight books published with a ninth soon to come. Do you realize how many people out there would give an appendage, digit or testicle to just have ONE BOOK published??? Then you are connected to at least another half dozen books as an editor. NOT LUCKY??? Caca El Toro! The pandemic should have increased your book sales.


[I’m not sure what the next ten years will bring, or even the next year. I don’t plan to stop writing by any stretch, but I would like to have more freedom to expand beyond the narrow box. I’ve spent much of the quarantine period writing a novel. That isn’t exactly new for me. I had some short fiction published a long time ago, to generally favorable results, and I received plenty of praise from agents and editors for an earlier novel, though it did not land a publisher. This one, I think, is better than the last, and I’d like to see it actually published. I’m not sure how to do that since the aforementioned cable channel has poisoned the waters so much.

When I started putting my archaeology- and history-themed writing up online during college, I never anticipated that it would become the defining element of my career. Without this blog, no one would know who I am. With it, it seems to become who I am.]

Did you turn 40? I couldn't drag myself out of bed on my 40th birthday. So from the bottom of my heart, Buck up, Buttercup! It doesn't get any easier. Whether you realize it or not, you have provided a literary legacy for your child. Once you are deceased and your works become textbooks, your child can really cash in on the royalties. There are things way more important than money, and fame isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Think outside of the box you're currently in. There are surely more publishers out there than just New York. Practice filming yourself talking to a camera. Make that lens your best friend. You'll need to get way more comfortable talking to a camera than what I remember seeing on the Military Channel.

If you indeed turned 40... Welcome to the club!

I had my 47th book published last year, it's far beyond anything I could ever have dreamed of, and I only STARTED writing at 43. I've had work in half a dozen genres too. I don't have your resources or knowledge and I write what I want to write then try to sell it. If you want to creak out in a new direction, write that and then look for a home for it. Under a pseudonym if need be. And good luck, just don't accept being put in any specific boxe.

Lyn,

I have found myself in circumstances similar to yours. Two and a half years ago I was struck by a drunk driver. The car smashed into the left side of my body pinning me against the center console. The man actually took off running and left his wife at the scene. Needless to say, manual labor is out. I would like to get back into writing. I've had success in the past publishing 14 poems. Never making a single cent for myself. How do you make money on poetry? I have written hundreds and can't bear to look at them. I either no longer have those feelings, or don't recall whom the feelings were directed towards. In other cases my thinking and ideals have just changed.

Many of your books are Sherlock Holmes stories. How do you land the gig of writing for an established character? My favorite books growing up were the "Three Investigators" mystery series. Originally forwarded by Alfred Hitchcock. The characters of Jupiter Jones, Bob Andrews, and Pete Crenshaw helped me escape for approximately 28 days. That's how long it took me to acquire and read all 41 books at the time. How does one go about getting permission to write new stories for someone else's original material?

With the utmost respect,

Anthony

Hi TimeLord, The Holmes advantage is that he is in the public domain. If anyhting you really enjoy reading is, then you have a legal right to use them. That said, most of my Holmes are original ouerve. In other words, they are the background, characters, and actions of the original works. I do diverge slightly with the 'Cat' ones, (Catalyst, Cataclysm...) where I introduced a woman who works as a freelance editor, and her cat Mandalay (a Brown Burmese who continually brings home odd things.) In my case I started writing the first stories just for fun, and was luckly enough to have a couple accepted for an anthology and recommended to a publisher by that editor. My first book was true-life humour about my own farm, animals and friends, taken by a kiwi publisher for a Mother's Day special. (I then sold 6 more) All you can do is stay stubborn, keep writing, and learn as you go. Look me up on FB, if I can help I will.

Lyn,

Thank you. That is a very kind offer. I am not on "The Book". Never saw the point in a 24/7/365.25 highschool reunion. I didn't know Holmes was in the public domain. Thanks for teaching me something new. I sincerely hope you get to 50 published books soon. Certainly would deserve one heck of a party.

Respect!
