Atlantis, Aliens & Archaeology

The History Channel says aliens helped build the pyramids. Netflix says refugees from Atlantis taught advanced technology to the Maya. Archaeologists say this is all bunk and that the wonders of the ancient world are the product of local human ingenuity and effort. In this FYS, we'll learn how to find reliable sources of information - in archaeology and beyond - to evaluate competing knowledge claims like these. The goal is understand how we know what we know. Because if you don't know that, you don't know anything at all.
