"The latest anti-Semitic diatribe by the president of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, had initially gone unnoticed but emerged on September 6 to great disapproval. On August 24.. outlined a history of the Jewish people, their origins and their persecution in Europe. He went on to deny that the anti-Semitism of the Nazi regime led to the Holocaust during the Second World War".

Hindutva Profiles: Vikram Sampat

Sampat is considered by the Hindu far-right as someone who is putting forth an accurate ‘indic version’ of India’s past. Sampat is invited to platforms that eulogize Hindu supremacy and propagate the idea of exclusive Hindu polity (Hindu Rashtra), like The Sangam Talks, The Jaipur Dialogues, and others.

YouTuber #RebalD has some important points about the #Netflix "documentary" #QueenCleopatra I can agree with: https://youtu.be/jwv_cIm2RRY
Two of his points were not clear to me until now:
1. Since #Cleopatra belonged to a dynasty of #Macedonian-#Greek origin, she was not only not Black, but also a quasi-#colonial ruler.
2. Because Egyptian history is reinterpreted by outsiders in a way that denies contemporary Egyptians part of their identity, it is #CulturalAppropriation.
#Racism #PseudoHistory

The idea that the #Joseph of the Old Testament was #Imhotep is a mixture of the usual "Biblical history" pseudo-historical distortion, with a bit of crossover appeal to the lunatic fringe "Alternative" #Egyptology nuts. It's a kind of anti-intellectual, anti-historical supermarket, with something for everyone.

Jason Colavito has traced the historiography of the connection between #pyramids and Joseph's grain silos to the late antiquity and early medieval writers Julius Honorius and Gregory of Tours. Honorius' Cosmographia, probably written in the 4th or 5th century CE, specifically mentioned that the pyramids were Joseph's granaries, whereas Gregory's 6th century History of the Franks alluded to the same idea, but without using the word "pyramid".

Gurjar queens, Vokkaliga warriors: How BJP is inventing history for a new Hindutva caste politics

Historians suggest that the heroes the BJP is invoking to allegedly attract castes either do not exist or their role is being exaggerated.

BJP propagates fiction as history: 'Uri and Nanje Gowda killed Tipu Sultan'

Historians have long believed that Tipu was killed by the British during the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War in 1798-99. They call the BJP’s new version a sinister design.

Step Back's @TristanPEJ is one of my most favourite creators on Youtube & Nebula. He's a man with a mission I wholeheartedly support.

If you're curious about The Discourse™ surrounding Netflix's 'Ancient Apocalypse', let Tristan explain. & no, you don't need to watch the "documentary" series. Probably best you don't. Start here: https://youtu.be/bFKRnnqNBzo

Answers Research Journal is a "peer-reviewed" creation "science" #pseudojournal published by Answers in Genesis (AiG). ARJ features #pseudohistory, bad philosophy, and Biblical literalist analysis pieces, but not much in the way of science.

Upon creation of the journals, Nature, Scientific American and Discover quickly published criticism of the site. Slate and AiG themselves have also traded commentary, and several blogs such as the Sensuous Curmudgeon and Happy Jihad's House of Pancakes have routinely produced criticism of the journal.

The 2012 apocalypse was the belief that civilization as we know it would come to an end in 2012. This bizarre idea was inspired by the #Mayan Long Count calendar, which completed a cycle on the day corresponding to our Gregorian calendar date of December 21st 2012 CE.

The belief that this was a prediction of the world ending is something akin to believing the world is going to end on December 31st 1999 because the year 2000 starts with a 2 instead of a 1. An even more apt description is that it is the equivalent of believing the world will end on December 31st because you have to throw away this year's calendar, and go out and buy a new one for next year. Modern-day Maya found this all utterly ridiculous, furthering the irony of anyone who subscribes to noble savage crap anymore.

The #Shakespeare authorship question, also known as "Anti-Stratfordianism," is a fringe theory asserting that William Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon was not the author of the plays attributed to him. First developed as an idea in the mid-19th century, the theory gradually took wing in late Victorian times, establishing a prolific literary vogue for amateur historians and a whodunit-addicted readership, whose mostly unreadable products now tally up to several thousand books and articles.

By intimating and diffusing a sense that there has been a gross centuries-long #coverup by the cultural and critical establishment of a scandalously repressed "truth", they appear to be trying to mobilise public opinion to pressure academia itself to take them seriously. These are the same sort of crank tactics that have allowed Moon landing #conspiracy theories — and more recently, climate change denialism — to take hold.

There's no "treasure" on Oak Island, part 3. There is zero documentary evidence that anything of note happened on that island, and if anything did, there would be. Pseudohistory scammers completely ignore this, but they don't understand how the past works.

There is no "treasure" on Oak Island, Nova Scotia. There never was. It's a 19th century con game, and it's infuriating that the "History" Channel insists on perpetuating the scam. I made this video nearly 4 years ago and it's still one of the most popular ones on my channel. Part of a series. Fool's gold! #OakIsland #histodons #scams #pseudohistory

My second revised Critical #AIArt project, The Destruction of Doggerland. #criticalaiart #alternatehistory #pseudohistory https://varnelis.net/on-the-destruction-of-the-kingdom-of-doggerland/

Someone finally wrote about the "#Rome isn't real" conspiracy & why it keeps going viral. Would love to do my own dive into why #pseudohistory is so compelling someday!

Loved this insight: "Some of the language used by the original poster ... apes valid discussions about decolonizing the field of archaeology and focusing on diverse perspectives and experiences, Fitzpatrick said."

Just catching up on the latest #Hancock controversy over my lunchtime kai and kawhi... OMG. What a twit. Huge apologies to #histodons everywhere for being lumped in with imbeciles like this. Seems like this week I'm getting a great education in ever growing heritage based #ConspiracyTheories involving #pseudoarchaeology or #pseudohistory. Including someone trying to insist I make sure I put that #Pākehā or white people (Europeans) were the first in #Aotearoa NZ, in my early local history book. 😬
