What Archaeologists Really Think About Ancient Aliens, Lost Colonies, And Fingerprints Of The Gods

Interesting article, in essence suggests pseudoarchaeology artificially selects which information to present, and

The primary theme among these popular pseudoarchaeology books that professionals have a major problem with is ethnocentrism, or the idea that we can judge other cultures based on the yardstick of our own

I agree stuff like Ancient Aliens is selective but that said, the reason I watch it is there are some great ideas amongst the reaches. Rigorous academia doesn't allow such interesting flamboyance.
