Real archaeologists aren't hunting for Atlantis because it was a story made up by Plato. He admitted he was making it up when he told it
It isn't lost and we'll never find it. I'm tired of pseudoarchaeology dominating archaeology TV

Woof, the pseudoarch trolls have come out
Apparently, all protrusions on stones, from decorative to functional (we'd call them lifting bosses) are called nubs by these pseudos
These nubs aren't proof of aliens, but human ingenuity (and laziness to not polish them down)

The pic above is of the Propylaia in Athens. It was never finished because of the outbreak of the Peloponnesian Wars
When you see these lifting bosses still there, it means ancient builders haven't finished with some aesthetic details on the exterior of a building!
Not aliens

Humans once had four legs and four arms till Zeus split us in two. For the story of love by Aristophanes as recorded by Plato as transformed into song, I highly recommend Hedwig and the Angry Inch

*sigh*
why?
@ArchaeoHermes is fighting the good fight here.
No real archaeologists who conduct excavations and use modern methods of historical and archaeological interpretation are seriously looking into Atlantis

Real archaeologists don't try to solve grand mysteries
Instead we study what we actually find: the layout and construction of a building, the design and chronology of pottery, the make-up of foodstuffs in a midden: all to understand past people
sure, much of it is boring

But, trust me, it can also be fascinating. Why?
Because people were and are fascinating. We love good stories about people, what they did, what they ate, and their pets
Check out my story about a beloved Roman dog:

Or how about the chilling story about the Agora Bone Well.
It isn't a mystery. It's a sad phenomenon: grieving families dealing with infant mortality
It pulls at heartstrings because it's about humanity (*CW* human remains)

Or maybe you'd like to read about ancient narcotic usage. Again, something fascinating that we have plentiful evidence for. Like the geological vapors at the roots of the Oracle at Delphi

The problem is that pseudoarchaeology is used to erase the accomplishments of past people, especially black and brown people

Lastly, you might think: what's the harm in the Atlantis myth?
Well, the historiography of Atlantis passes through Nazi intellectuals in WWII Germany
It is part of white supremacist mythology

Some serious discourse here from a real "anthropologist"
I love how I'm an overpaid Marxist
1) As a precarious academic, I most certainly am not overpaid
2) If I was a real Marxist, I wouldn't accept overpayment
3) this racist twit makes money selling fake shit. Block him

I love when the followers of a quack accidentally reveal the real etymology
hmm, It's like the Greek names Atlantis and Atlantic come from the Greek hero Atlas? And not a MesoAmerican term?
The real conspiracy is quacks enriching themselves from connections that don't exist

Sorry, but just wanted to emphasize statements made by this "anthropologist"
This is not "anthropology"
I have not once engaged with Sepehr other than blocking him due to tweet he sent (screenshotted above)
Sepehr is clearly the cyber-bully having conversations with himself

I saw the last tweet by Sepehr a few hours ago, but was mulling over how to respond
He's since deleted it. It's pretty clear who's fucking around and finding out

Robert Sepehr is racist trash
He has a quarter million YouTube followers peddling fake anthropology, archaeology, and history as thinly veiled prejudice
This thread by @vert_archy exposes Sepehr's vile racism. Content Warning for pretty much everything
