To be honest, the attitude of Hoopes, Dibble et al who put out the SAA letter to Netflix sums up the issue with archaeology. They are continuing on with an attitude that has been endemic among archaeologists since regular people saw things differently, saw anomalies that conventional thinking wasn’t explaining. That said, archaeologists, geologists and in fact, all the ologists have every right to challenge many of the ideas posed by those without PHDs or maybe don’t understand the expectations of scientific rigour when postulating a hypothesis. It’s how it’s done that irks the casual observer. Hancock learned this from Fingerprints because of the way in which he was eviscerated for daring to have thoughts and ideas that didn’t fit conventional archaeology. He did not employ expected scientific rigour, as he’s not a scientist. In fact, as his work has progressed, anyone who actually reads his work can see the efforts he’s expended trying to remedy the accusations that his approach is non-scientific. But I’m fairly sure that those most vehement detractors within your discipline know that, or have more than likely never read beyond Fingerprints because their minds are set. So if you’re wondering why people are railing against you, it’s less to do with challenging the hypothesis and more to do with the tactics employed by those within your profession. It’s clear why many of the usual suspects continually refer to Fingerprints, because Hancock has evolved and responded to critics, yet still stands his ground on his hypothesis, which in itself has evolved and moved with the science, as he sees it. The efforts, tenuous and dripping with presentism as they are, to link his work to racism and white-supremacist ideology has been reprehensible. It’s a clearly defined cancel-culture tactic, employed by white, left-leaning academics and something that’s long taken hold of educational institutions. This, the derision, the arrogant dismissal, the aloofness and egos of those leading the charge against lateral thinkers is why so many simply dislike archaeologists. You’re all the same in the eyes of many, which is a shame and untrue, but that’s down to one group among you.

I wonder how much coverage Sky Sports with give Liverpool for the Newcastle v Everton game? #NUFC #EFC

This side has really settled into itself this 2nd half. Everyone playing with much focus and composure. Whatever MJ said at halftime has worked wonders! #nufc

I’m sure all the #howeout wankstains are happy now! Probably creaming themselves at all they’ve achieved. Anyway #nufc let’s turn a corner now we’ve a few of our first team players back.

Been listening to #NorthernExposure Redux on repeat for the last few days and it’s amazing. However, I’ve also returned to Renaissance and for me, it’s hands down the best mix ever put out in #progressivehousemusic Simply timeless. #sasha #digweed #renaissance

If ever a lie, purely told with intent to deceive the electorate should be called out, it’s the ‘Russia interfered’ spoof that’s now catapulted its way into the British psyche, just before an Election. An Election that will be sold on rejoining the EU. I’m no conspiracy theorist, but this is as bad as it gets with pro-EU propaganda, especially when people are rightfully angry at Trumps decision to fold on Putin. #wakeup #EU #Burnham #TrumpPutin

Keep the match commentary coming folks, I'm following the match on X in Turkey as there's nowhere to watch it👊 #NUFC

Heartfelt condolences to all those close to @ClayDijk , family, friends and admirers alike. He was a wonderful talent, exceptional DJ and a great loss to the Progressive Music family. Rest easy Sir.

Hope Ed Sherrin gets a whole new lineup of support acts who aren’t pro-pal gimps👍 Go Ed, hate your music but absolutely support your right to play without being attacked for choosing not to politicise it.

Not sure why Murphy being singled out so much? Everyone out there has been shite. Defence is terrible, midfield slow and 2nd to everything, Pardo a casual observer and Wissa has won fuck all. #nufc

Who has a mate who supports Spurs and was confident they would chin us? 😆 #nufc @NUFC

Hilarious. #SkySports starting to shit the bed because so many of their presenters have been complicit in undermining anyone outside the Big 6. Good to see Warren Barton bringing a bit of #NUFC perpective to a clearly biased media outlet. No doubt they'll have an #AVFC legend on soon too!

It’s funny, of all the ‘big’ players that left Newcastle over the last year, every one of them have Eddie Howe to thank for bringing them on to a level that teams, levels above #NUFC were tripping over themselves to buy for huge sums. Howes legacy is not only a trophy, but a group of players who excelled well beyond what they probably thought was their level. I honestly think MJ has a similar approach to Howe, whether he’s as successful or more successful remains to be seen. I really hope he is all that and more👊🏼 #NUFC

Sky Sports ‘B’ team on this morning, talking about Villa and Newcastle losing players without actually referencing the rules that causes both teams to have to sell their best players and why others follow suit. Wankers. #nufc #avfc

Can’t understand why there isn’t more love being shown to Dedic this morning? Literally just in the door, new teammates, stadium, fan base and straight on for 90mins in the PL, played like a seasoned professional, long established in NUFC. Magnificent performance #nufc

Jay Boothroyd at it again, touting Hall to Man United. It really is deliberate and clearly something Sky encourage. They really are just an extension of the Big 6 agents and recruitment teams. #nufc

Angers me watching these #skysports clowns suddenly all concerned that PSR is ruining the game, considering the fact they've been front and center promoting it. Arseholes. #nufc #avfc

Brilliant game, gutted at the end, but I'm not sure many Newcastle fans were thinking this new look team would be PL ready to roll over Liverpool, yet we did and were unlocked by a poor tackle, albeit a minute after the whistle shold have been blown. Can't wait to see this team grow, #Wissa #Willock #Elanga #Miley #Dedic #Botman #Hall and every other player out there gave everything and it was enough. #NUFC
