Sir Wearer of Hats Posted March 19, 2019 #2 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I think The Kingdom Of Prester John might pre-date the Mound Builders 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnoferox Posted March 19, 2019 #3 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I'm assuming by "the Piltdown chicken" it means "Archaeoraptor", which wouldn't be pseudoarchaeology but rather paleontology. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A letter — and there were several over a few centuries — claiming to be from him was circulating in Edward III’s time a few centuries later. —Jaylemurph 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, the Archaeoraptor is a confirmed hoax within paleontology, not pseudoarchaeology. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walam Olum 1830 This wasn't debunked until the late 90s and there are still hammerheads in Turtle Town and Morvaviantown that will argue it's real. One of the reasons I'm on "the outs" is my issues with that whole "Grandfather Tribe" manure. 6 hours ago, Hanslune said: I. Mound Builder Myth 1800’s A.R.E and the Mormons still promote it, but I haven't heard any peepage from Frank Collin or the "Burlington Goat Factory" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His belief in the Piri Reis map in his early books, while not archaeology, still cracks me up. As all you have to do is read the margin notes on it and it tells you everything you need to know about it and where it came from...sheesh 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one of his followers ask me if I used Google Earth to find the debris field from the Toms River event. I said no, I was sifting a lot of sand all over South Jersey. Which brings me to another crackup. They only make theories about craters they can see........on Google Earth. Then you have those idiot Carolina Bay theorists. Sorry I poked them from New Jersey to Georgia looking for Clovisy thingies. They are nothing but thermokarst basins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanslune Posted March 19, 2019 Author #16 Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) That one's a classic but of course it is all based on written claims and no actual archaeology involved. What about the on going Oak Island hoax? Oh and I think the Maine penny MIGHT be real but then that is just an opinion I'll be really busy this week but when I have time I will look thru my old friend Corliss' books. Going thru that list and making additions would certainly be more interesting than arguing over how many of Plato's words about Atlantis are real, how many are fake, and how many Orichalcum plated spirits could prance on the edge of an Atlantean sword.

The faked helicopter, tank and airplane from the Temple of Seti 1 as well as the alleged Irish Ogham script of Southern West Virginia should be added to the list IMO. cormac 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
