    The Science of the Turin Shroud

    The Science of the Turin Shroud

    In this episode, we continue our deep dive into one of the most intriguing and controversial relics, the Shroud of Turin. Building on our previous discussion of the shroud's historical journey, today we shift our focus to its scientific aspects. If you haven't listened to the first part of this exploration, I highly recommend going back for a complete understanding.
    Our discussion will navigate through various scientific analyses and archaeological contexts to answer a pivotal question: Could the Shroud of Turin authentically date back to the first century? We'll explore the burial customs of the Second Temple period, the weave patterns of ancient textiles, and modern scientific methods like carbon dating and pollen analysis.

    The Shroud of Turin - history and hoaxes

    The Shroud of Turin - history and hoaxes

    Since we are so close to Easter, maybe it's time to discuss something connected to the holiday. So why not the Shroud of Turin? Some claim the cloth carries the image of Jesus Christ, and others have pointed out that making a copy of it is relatively simple. And yes, Ancient Aliens are using the shroud as evidence for their alien hypothesis. 
    Today, we will deal with the cloth's historical events, from its shrouded origin to initial accusations of being a hoax and its journey to Turin.
    In Digging up Ancient Aliens, our host Fredrik uses his background in archaeology to discover what is genuine, fake, and somewhere in between in popular media, such as Ancient Aliens, Ancient Apocalypse, and many other places.

    Golden hats and Copper Scrolls

    Golden hats and Copper Scrolls

    Let's dust off our thinking hats and join in exploring two special objects surrounded by strange claims. First, we will spend time with four golden hats from the European Bronze Age. Some claim they functioned as priestly antennas, but how do they fit into the Bronze Age cult. Then we will move on to the Copper Scrolls, one of the maybe more mysterious documents in the Dead Sea Scroll collection. It's a treasure map written on copper and hidden in a cave. That Indiana Jones, Nic Cage, or any other treasure movie franchise has not picked this story up yet is potentially one of our larger mysteries in this episode. Hold on to your hat, and let's set out to find some treasure.

We will investigate the queen's pyramids, take a trip with Khufu's sun boat, and sit down and read the Red Sea scrolls.

    The Last Wonder Standing: Ramping up the Giza Pyramids

    The Last Wonder Standing: Ramping up the Giza Pyramids

    How were the great pyramids of Giza built? This is a question that's been asked for a long time. The answers have been ranging from those based on the best available evidence to the more far-out ideas. Among those there are suggestions that such precision and scale could only be the work of extraterrestrial intervention. But what do the most recent archaeological discoveries and scientific experiments tell us?
    This time we delve into the true ingenuity behind these monumental structures. The pseudo-historical narratives often propose that the pyramids' advanced engineering and astronomical alignments are beyond human capability. Yet, a closer examination of historical records, architectural techniques, and archaeological findings reveals a different story.
    Come with and find out how the pyramids at Giza where built. Sources can be found on the webpage

Lunar James ,

Great VIking show!

I liked how the show host was reading runes off of runestones in both the native tongue and then English with mood music in the background. I think he should read more runestones since it sounds like I am listening to Middle Earth Elvish or something.
