Turkey Another tepe (hill) – this one less famous than Gobekli – was once the frontier of the Assyrian empire, rather like Hadrian’s Wall was to the Romans. Ziyaret Tepe (known as Tushhan in antiquity), however, was on the doorstep of its own empire, unlike the barren, far-away-from-home wall dividing the Roman-ruled south from the … Read More

The World Something very close to our hearts in modern times – the gap between rich and poor and wealth inequality – has been determined using economic measurements. We all know the rich are becoming richer and the poor poorer, and this is being exacerbated by our incessant thirst for goods we don’t need, causing … Read More

The World I am, of course, absolutely and utterly unsurprised by this notion being put forward by Professor Daniel Everett. This would go a long way to dismissing many of the ridiculous ideas constantly being put forward by archaeologists and, most importantly, another theory that kills off the out-of-Africa model. I would be much more … Read More

Italy One of the most remarkable archaeological discoveries I have ever come across, one could be forgiven for thinking this is a crude prank, such is the remarkable preservation. And after all my ramblings lately of archaeologists guessing their way through discoveries, here’s a refreshing example that requires no guessing at all! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-44303247

China Arguably the greatest archaeological find in history – the Terracotta Army and the massive complex of the first emperor’s tomb, covering an area ten times that of the pyramids of Giza – was stumbled on by farmers in the 1970s. But the man responsible for digging the site – Zhao Kangmin – was originally … Read More

Egypt Have I missed a chapter? No, this article has, for failing to mention the one Egyptologist I have the most respect for – Dr. Joann Fletcher. I watched with awe back in 2003 as the Discovery Channel, in the days when it produced quality documentaries (I don’t even watch TV any more), produced a … Read More

Israel / France / Spain / The World Following on from my many previous posts about the ridiculous guesswork employed by some archaeologists to try and look as if they know everything, here we have another classic example whereby guesswork completely misleads everyone and actually gives us a false history. Like the constant “ritual” excuse … Read More

Hi everyone, As I am sure you are aware, because we have all been bombarded with emails of late regarding the new data protection laws, very soon these laws will come into force. From my side my website is about to be shut down and rebuilt, with a completely new style and interactive menu. My … Read More

Mexico. Honestly, I’m going to explode. From my book, “The Evolution”: “My best guess is that this was a religious temple of some kind, but then the term ‘religious temple’ is used by archaeologists as a cop-out when we don’t know what a structure was used for.” The same can be applied to the term … Read More

Much speculation has been doing the rounds for many a decade regarding secret chambers all over the Valley of the Kings, of course fuelled by certain popular Hollywood films. The one in king Tut’s tomb, however, has … Read More

United States Finally Graham Hancock’s research spanning many years is being vindicated by a minority of scientists who have actually bothered to follow up his theories with scientific research, unlike the majority who just bark out loud and dismiss him on the grounds that he’s not a welcomed member of the club and has no … Read More

Peru Copied and pasted Email from Peru, 23 October 2004. Title: Time To Leave! Dear All, Something has dawned on me in the last 48 hours. Peru is called `Darkest Peru` as some of you probably know. After spending some time here I have noticed something. Peru is great, it has this feel to it that everybody is equal, … Read More

India Shake my head, headbutt myself in a mirror and change my name to Derek. Not only am I convinced that civilisation started in India, now we find the earliest evidence of Home sapiens sapiens has now moved to India as well. More revealing is the date – now we have to double the previous … Read More

Israel A human jawbone dating to between 200,000 and 175,000 years ago has once again pushed “back the modern human migration out of Africa by at least 50,000 years.” I make that the third time in recent years we’ve added 50,000 years to the now totally defunct theory. The original theory, dating from the Victorian … Read More

Mexico Back in January scientists discovered the two known caves of Sac Actun, 163 miles (263km) long, and Dos Ojos, 52 miles (83km) long, actually connect with one another, and this means it is by far the largest flooded cave system in the world. But the most remarkable discovery is that some of the cave system … Read More

Morocco I may have to keep a low profile for a while because today I swapped archaeology for palaeontology. I know, I know, sorry  Today was a neck, ear and arm-burning trip to Paradise Valley, close to the city of Agadir. While everyone was diving into the water and messing around in the waterfalls, I … Read More

Israel Well, let’s face it, they’ve just got their stories all muddled up. Next to a busy highway in Israel, a Homo erectus “paradise” has been discovered, complete with stream, plants, abundant wildlife and a magical supply of every weapon and tool imaginable. I’m surprised they haven’t found a plaque which says “Marriott Hotel”. It … Read More
