In reality, science doesn’t work that way. If you only look at the marble from Dhaskalio and the marble from Naxos, you don’t know how different Naxos is chemically from other marbles (which it isn’t, as we already discussed). It’s a pXRF, not a Crystal Ball.

Dedunker continues to show how little work he actually does. Thinks that just because he had to google olive trees to learn the term "flat rooted" that a professional, who has excavated at Gobekli tepe, did the same. This is getting increasingly embarrassing for Dan.

@Dr_TheHistories It also ignores the use of abrasives, and that the copper was cold hammered, which makes it much harder. Also that the vast majority of stones came from the immediate environs.

@picker_six1253 @BAJRjobs @Graham__Hancock Again, this isn't about silencing a critic. It's about demanding that lies and harrassment stop. Real actionable libel and harrassment. Dan is spiraling because of Grahams poor performance, and Graham is using him to go after Flint.

@SoilManDan @mchykerda @IndiArchaeology Look, I’m an engineer. I know what I’m talking about. I’m trying to be nice. Here’s a picture from the Drexler analysis of the concrete at the pyramids, it’s an amorphous sillicate crystal lattice. Now you know.

Again, it's good to read a out things. But when you are claiming to "correct" the archaeologists or "keep them honest," you should at the very least know what and archaeology textbook is, and probably have read one. This guy says you should trust him over professionals.

This is Mr. pOSL (portable Optically Stimulated Luminescence). He likes the dark, and he can be finnicky, but he helps produce relative chronologies of soils and sediments. He can also do a little bit of mineralogy if you ask him correctly. More archaeologist should use pOSL.

Flint never said they were, that's misinformation cooked up by DeDunker. And Graham omits that the discussion in question was very specifically dealing with Grahams repeated claim his civilization had technology comparable to 18th or early 19th century Europe. Why?

It’s regrettable that @FlintDibble waited until June 20th to admit that very high levels of atmospheric metals have in fact been detected in Ice Age ice cores. Flint: yes, or no, were those cores ever tested for the specific isotopic signatures of metallurgy?

@playboyreview @FlintDibble No, because these ideas cause real harm when applied unquestioningly. Again, all you care about is protecting Graham from criticism, and that's fine. You do you. But there are other, more vulnerable people out there who could maybe use some consideration. It's not about Graham.

Bad faith arguments abound. I find it interesting that Graham doesn't seem to have the knowledge to defend his actions. Isn't he the one who selected the "quotes" and wrote the passage?

If a grad student tried to network with me while I was waiting at an airport, I would gladly invite them to watch TV with me, but under the condition they not mention archaeology. Airport time is my time, and it should be their time too. Tim's approach here is toxic.

Jimmy Corsetti claims Flint Dibble defamed him. He claims this has damaged his reputation. At the same time he says he hasn't been "cancelled" and isn't worried. So which one is it? Jimmy is just trying to silence someone he feels threatened by.

@picker_six1253 @BAJRjobs @Graham__Hancock It sounds like you commented on the situation with absolutely no understanding of what has happened. Dan has falsely accused Flint of a crime, misrepresented literature to call him a liar, and engaged in dehumanizing verbal abuse and name calling. And Graham promotes it.

It grinds my gears that @Graham_Hancock targets archaeologists and claims they have no interest in examining the deep past. A good friend of mine, Chad DiGregorio, gave his life doing just that with research into Paleolithic seafaring. Some of his story here:

@NMarbletoe @LiferJays @CharlesJSturge @Graham__Hancock Ancient Origins isn’t a great source, but the debate over Plakias is interesting. I worked with that team at the nearby Damnoni site in 2013. A good friend of mine was doing on his dissertation on that site until he died in the field in Turkey.
