News
With the summer vacation season now upon us, and the Independence Day and Canada Day holidays bookending this weekend, it was slower than usual around the fringe archaeology world. Even Ancient Aliens took the week off. Even Graham Hancock couldn’t scare up a suitably nutty Author of the Month for his website, and instead settled for some visual artists analyzing flower symbolism in Egyptian art. Scott Wolter promised he’d post his latest “peer reviewed” article from a Masonic magazine to his blog this week, so that was something.

I was somewhat intrigued to see that Hillary Clinton advertised during Ancient Aliens this week. It’s unusual, especially given the controversial nature of the show’s commentary. I wondered if it was a specific ad buy targeting UFO believers, especially since Clinton has expressed her own interest in UFOs and alien abductions recently. But it might have just been a general History Channel ad buy. I asked the Clinton campaign for comment, but as of this writing, they declined to respond. What’s interesting is that forty years ago Erich von Däniken gave Gerald Ford very similar advice in a 1976 letter: “Do you realize the innumerable supporters and believers of ‘flying saucers’. They must, alone in your country, count to a million if not more and no doubt represent an interesting potential of votes which just cannot be neglected in an election year.” Does Clinton have a von Däniken style UFO voter strategy?

This week I was quite pleased to receive permission from the University of Chicago Press to reproduce a 1939 translation of al-Suyuti’s treatise on the pyramid of Egypt from c. 1500. That was good news, but on the other hand, I was awakened at the crack of dawn Saturday morning by my credit card company, calling by cell phone and landline, as well as emailing and texting all at the same time, informing me that someone in South Carolina was attempting to use my credit card number for purchases. This is the first time I’ve had my card number stolen since I received that card at the end of the last century. Now I will have to go through the ritual of changing my information on every account. The only good news is that my cell phone charge went through about ten minutes before the card was canceled so I still have cell service!

Well, that was fun. This week J. Hutton Pulitzer and Scott Wolter spent the opening segment of their latest podcast attacking me because, more or less, I exist. Pulitzer became enraged to learn that Andy White had asked me to be a guest speaker on Atlantis in the same “Forbidden Archaeology” course in which Wolter was supposed to speak on the Kensington Rune Stone. After throwing a hissy fit, the pair took to the internet to discuss why they don’t think I’m Scott Wolter’s peer, and why they believe I have not done historical research “well.” It’s hilarious what happens when you pierce the thin veneer of their overwhelming vanity.

This week L. A. Marzulli went on a bizarre half-hour rant against Mike Heiser, the Paleobabble blogger who frequently writes about pseudohistory. Marzulli has become quite defensive about his alleged genetic evidence for Nephilim involvement in ancient Peru. Similarly, Graham Hancock threw a fit over the TED organization issuing a warning about the unsubstantiated nature of his claims in a TEDx talk earlier this year. Other fringe figures, well known to us all but whom we will not name, also expressed their displeasure and upset with criticism. I guess it was this week’s theme!

Thanks probably to the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, it was a rather quiet week in the world of fringe history, with many of the usual suspects taking a summer vacation. Nevertheless, there was a sublimely ridiculous moment during this week’s episode of Ancient Aliens that encapsulated everything wrong with fringe history: The program claimed that Soviet cosmonauts saw angels outside their space station, and they based the claim on a five-year-old article in the tabloid newspaper Pravda without realizing that Pravda was riffing on a 1985 article from the Weekly World News, the supermarket tabloid that routinely published fake news in the 1980s and 1990s.

Last week, Ancient Aliens saw its ratings sink to near series-lows, just 1.093 million viewers. Is the sameness of the episodes eroding audience interest? Meanwhile this week Scott Wolter pulled out of the annual Ancient Artifact Preservation Society meeting, citing a conflicting speaking engagement. His business partner, however, is still on the agenda to speak at the same conference on the same day with former U.S. Nazi party head Frank Joseph (a.k.a. Frank Collin), who is now featured as the kickoff speaker for the event.

Earlier this week a ufologist named James Carrion tried to craft a new conspiracy theory about Roswell, but he accidentally led me to an astonishing discovery: FBI documentation of a close and pervasive connection between the emergence of the “flying saucer” phenomenon in July 1947 and the actions of Ray Palmer, the editor of Amazing Stories. I discuss the subject on my blog today and in my page outlining the primary sources showing how science fiction helped shape the birth of UFOs.

I can’t say that I’m sorry to see it go. This week marked the season finale of Ancient Aliens, which means that we’ll have at least a few weeks’ break before the show’s twelfth season starts, probably around the time of Alien Con later this fall. I’m looking forward to the time off, and for the first time in a few years I’m seriously thinking about whether to stop reviewing the show since it hasn’t had a new idea since season three. For Pete’s sake, this season they openly used hoaxes and the Weekly World News as grist for program that even Giorgio Tsoukalos admits the producers slap together mostly on their own.

It was a surprisingly quiet week for fringe historians. I can’t say that’s a bad thing. I was contacted by a Canadian newspaper this week to offer some opinions on Henry Sinclair’s alleged 1398 voyage to America and whether he is the ancestor of Canada’s current prime minister. I can’t wait for conspiracy theorists to start incorporating Justin Trudeau’s mother’s Sinclair heritage into their narrative of how the Templar-Freemason-Holy Bloodline conspiracy is trying to seize power.

According to an article in the A.V. Club, this past week the 1991-1999 ABC sitcom Home Improvement celebrated its 25th anniversary, but the article noted that virtually no one cared. The program left very little legacy in popular culture. It reminded me, though, that twenty years ago, at the height of Home Improvement’s popularity, ABC chose one of its stars, Richard Karn, to host a celebration of Erich von Däniken: Chariots of the Gods: The Mystery Continues (1996). It was ABC’s ancient astronaut answer to NBC’s creationist blockbuster documentary The Mysterious Origins of Man. The ABC show would be among the last ancient astronaut specials on network television, and it also helped introduce Graham Hancock to American audiences. Indeed, he also appeared in Mysterious Origins of Man, alongside David Hatcher Childress, another Ancient Aliens mainstay. Times change, but fringe history doesn’t.

This week I had the pleasure of speaking to Andy White’s students in his Forbidden Archaeology course about Atlantis, lost ice age civilizations, and the underlying racism in Victorian popular archaeology. It was a great experience and a lot of fun. It sounds like the students are learning some interesting stuff, and I hope that they enjoyed listening to me prattle on about Nazis, UFOs, and sunken continents.

It’s been a busy week in the world of xenoarchaeology. Let’s see what’s new…
News
Well, this week our old friend Scott Wolter took to his blog to say that the Bible is secretly an astronomical and astrological treatise on par with the Kensington Rune Stone: “Like the KRS inscription, it’s filled with allegory and code and most of it deals with the interaction of sun, moon, planets, and the stars. It filled with hidden knowledge that only those with the proper training can truly understand.” He added that the world is controlled by astrological forces governed by the Precession of Equinoxes, whose most visible effect is the changing constellation against which the sun rises on any given day, spinning in a 26,000-year cycle. So, remember, folks: Templars discovered America, Jesus had kids, and all history is controlled by the imaginary pictures in the night sky. You know, science!

News
The History Channel began promoting new seasons of its fringe history hits The Curse of Oak Island and Hunting Hitler. I was dumbfounded that Hunting Hitler was renewed for a second season, particularly since they clearly failed to find Hitler the first time out. Apparently, though, Hitler-hunting is a perpetual operation, and the show promises “new hunters” and new leads as they once again fail to find Hitler. Hey, it has worked for Oak Island all these years!

Surely all of you are getting excited for the upcoming Alien Con Ancient Aliens fan convention this week. The company doing PR for the convention declined to make good on their offer to have an ancient astronaut theorist speak with me, but don’t feel bad. A British magazine planning a feature on Erich von Däniken interviewed me for “balance.” That ought to frost the ancient astronaut theorists.

News
This weekend was the first ever Alien Con, the gathering of Ancient Aliens fans to celebrate the ancient astronaut theory and its connections to genre fiction. I must say that I was surprised that the show’s creator and executive producer, Kevin Burns, admitted to being an ancient astronaut theorist and to thinking that that the world is governed by conspiracies that are manipulating humanity to their own ends. Sure, I imagine it’s part of the job, but this is the guy who produces crap like The Girls Next Door. Is reality TV part of the conspiracy? Or his Kevin Burns alone immune to its nefarious actions?

News
This week, the brain trust behind Xplrr Media announced the discovery of a human body dressed in “Roman” armor and carrying “Roman” weapons in “near conjunction” to Oak Island in Canada. This was news not just to me but also to the Nova Scotia government, which told me that they had no reports of the discovery of “Roman” human remains near Oak Island, nor had the Xplrr team applied for permits to excavate any human remains. It remains, so to speak, to be seen what the “discovery” actually entails.

This week was one of the times in history that future fringe historians will construct elaborate conspiracy-tinted myths to explain. Did the Illuminati meet their match from the Aryan Nordic aliens? Perhaps the Reptilians went into early hibernation due to a cold snap? In the short term, now that the incoming Trump administration has announced that it’s considering Ben Carson, a believer in the medieval myth that the pyramids of Egypt were Joseph’s granaries, to lead the Department of Education, I guess it means that I will have plenty to write about for the foreseeable future. On the down side, it might get a little boring with only 6,000 years of history to consider.

News
This week saw the return of The Curse of Oak Island and Hunting Hitler, albeit to reduced ratings, probably due to the stiffer competition on Tuesday nights. It’s disappointing to see that Oak Island is planning to use the Knights Templar and the Ark of the Covenant as the organizing framework for this season of dull digging. We’ve been there before (on more than one show!) and it looks like fringe history is hitting the point of diminishing returns, perhaps because the all of the air in the room is being sucked up by political conspiracy theories in the wake of the 2016 election and the subsequent empowerment of conspiracy theorists of all stripes.

I wonder if Curse of Oak Island has finally run its course. Now in its fourth season, the show’s viewership has declined to just 2.66 million viewers per week. Last season it had more than three million viewers per week, and in the past several episodes were significantly higher than that, coming close to or exceeding the four million viewer mark. Part of the ratings decline is probably the holiday season and the stiffer competition from network TV in its Tuesday at 9 PM ET slot. But perhaps the stagnation of the series is also causing a bit of audience drift. We’ll find out as more ratings dating comes in over the next few weeks and we see whether the show rises as in past seasons or holds steady or falls.

This week the media debated whether facts actually exist after a conservative commentator claimed that all truth is created by the observer, at which point our culture essentially gave up on the very concept of objective reality. The History Channel pretended that Three Stooges comedian Moe Howard was actually Adolf Hitler and tried to use photographic analysis to prove that the famous Jewish entertainer was really an anti-Semitic dictator responsible for the deaths of millions of Jews. The two events are not entirely unrelated.

- Well, this was an interesting week. At the beginning of the week, I suffered a shoulder injury that left me unable to move my arm. By the end of the week, after seeing two doctors, a physician’s assistant, and a physical therapist, I had regained most of my original range of motion and am on the road to recovery.
- Meanwhile, the History Channel backpedaled furiously from its suggestion on Hunting Hitler that Moe Howard of the Three Stooges was really Hitler. At the same time, Ancient Aliens star David Wilcock embraced the so-called Pizzagate conspiracy theory and called on the Trump Administration to jail prominent Democrats. Former History Channel personality Scott Wolter went on a media spree, producing a podcast and two multi-hour radio interviews in just one week. That has to be either some kind of record or testament to how much free time the man has.

- As you prepare for the holiday season, however, be sure to think about whether someone in your life might enjoy a book or two from my long list of books. Overnight shipping will get the book to you in time for Christmas, and most have e-book versions for instant download! My books also are the perfect way to use that Amazon gift card you know you’re getting in your stocking…
