The Archaeology Podcast Network is taking a break for the holiday season. In the meantime, please enjoy this encore episode. It’s a favorite of ours! Happy holidays!CORRECTION: Graham Hancock wrote Fingerprints of the Gods NOT Chariots of the Gods which was written by Erich von Däniken. Our apologies for mixing up the two titles! The latest archaeological injustice from Graham Hancock is in the form of a brand new, and popular, Netflix series called Ancient Apocalypse. We talk about the eight-episode series, what we liked and what we didn't. Is Graham Hancock right? Is there evidence of an ancient civilization that lived during the last ice age that some how didn't make it through the ice age but did have time to reboot civilization in the people that were left? We'll see.Contact Chris [email protected] Rachel [email protected] (Instagram)ArchPodNet APN Website: https://www.archpodnet.com APN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnet APN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnet APN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnet Tee Public StoreAffiliates Motion

This week we tackle one of our favorite topics - controversy! Last summer, the team working on the Rising Star Cave site in South Africa released a series of pre-prints making some incredible claims about the pre-human species, Homo Naledi. They were closely followed by the Netflix documentary, Cave of Bones which captured the attention of the public. However, other researchers are pushing back, claiming lack of solid evidence and published peer reviewed research. Join us while we look at both sides of the debate, and let us know where you land!Links Controversial Claims About Homo Naledi Are Stirring Up Evolution Enigmatic Hominin Seemingly Buried Dead and Carved Symbols 100,000 Years Before Modern Humans Unknown: Cave of Bones - Netflix Documentary No scientific evidence that Homo Naledi buried their dead and produced rock art Cave of Bones Explorer’s Club Talk with Dr. Lee Berger 241,000 to 335,000 Years Old Rock Engravings Made by Homo naledi in the Rising Star Cave system, South AfricaContact Chris [email protected] Rachel [email protected] (Instagram)ArchPodNet APN Website: https://www.archpodnet.com APN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnet APN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnet APN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnet Tee Public Store: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/archaeology-podcast-network?ref_id=5724Affiliates Motion
