Archaeologists have discovered a long tunnel underneath the remains of a temple in Taposiris Magna in Egypt. It is believed that somewhere beneath the temple lies the tomb of Cleopatra.

This is Assyrian, not Sumerian. It's a celestial planisphere; a stylized map of the sky divided into eight sections. It represents the night sky of the 3rd or 4th of January 650 BCE over Nineveh. Nothing in it about an impact event. Completely bogus claim.
5,500 Year Old Sumerian Star Map. This cuneiform clay tablet that indicates the Köfel’s impact event was observed in ancient times. The circular stone-cast tablet was recovered from the 650 BC underground library of King Ashurbanipal in Nineveh, Iraq in the late 19th century.

If it takes a burger patty 3 minutes to cook, and the drive thru has 50 customers in it that all want double cheese burgers, it would take 300 minutes (5 hours) for everyone to get their burger.
Then again, did you ever consider that they have more than 1 burger on the grill?
If you claim to be an ancient history buff and you believe ancient people couldn't carve or polish hard stones, draw a straight line, make seamless joints between stones, or lift anything heavier than a couple of tons, then maybe it's not ancient history you are interested in.
Although the earliest written evidence of the 260-day Maya calendar dates to c. 250 BCE, new lidar surveys reveal Maya constructions that suggest the calendar could be as old as 1100 BCE.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if an ancient legend says something happened 10,000 years ago or any other round number of extreme length, our first assumption shouldn't be that it is factual.

None of these statements are correct.
1) There were no commas or periods in Hebrew or Greek in those days.
2) Jesus spoke Aramaic.
3) There is no complete Tanakh among the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Note that none of these are self-designation besides those of Indo-Iranian descent. The supposed Irish cognate Eriu is incorrect. This comes from Archaic Irish *Īweriū, which goes back to Proto-Indo-European *piHwerjon ("fertile land" or "land of abundance"). It is not related.
Yet another example of how Stone Age peoples were perfectly capable of carving granite. No modern technology needed. Wonder what the Atlantis bros would say...
There are two basin stones in the right hand recess of the chamber at Newgrange. The upper one is exquisitely carved from Mourne granite. the lower one is too big to have been brought inside after the monument was built so the chamber must have been built around it.
Weapons from the ancient Battle of Lyon (197 CE), in which the Romans under Septimius Severus fought Romans under Clodius Albinus, have been unearthed.

One of Graham Hancock's minions did a hatchet job on Milo Rossi by misinterpreting my words, and when I corrected her about the things I said, Hancock says I am 'punishing thought crimes.' Who's the real militant?
David Miano (World of Antiquity) is one of a cadre of virtue-signalling militants -- the self-protecting Orwellian Thought Police of prehistory on a mission to root out and punish any "thoughtcrimes" that question their own narrow views of the past.
A 2,000-year-old 'Tomb of Cerberus' with stunning frescoes has been discovered in Italy. This well-preserved chamber tomb was found during an archaeological survey near Naples. It's estimated to date back approximately 2,000 years.

Diorite has been shaped by humans since the Stone Age. People who tell you it takes advanced tech to shape it into beautiful works of art are either trying to fool you or have limited or no knowledge of artisanal handicraft in stone.
Diorite is one of the strongest materials on Earth. It resists alkaline, acidic elements and it can withstand the effects of the environment and time.
Experts claim this was made with stones, sticks chicken bones and copper 3,000 years ago.

Actual tweet I saw this morning: "One of the major issues I've encountered in studying history, is that it is plainly obvious you can't trust the modern academic historical timeline at all. It is almost entirely a work of fiction."
A paper that made headlines, and which argued that Gunung Padang has a 27,000-year old pyramid, has been retracted. You can bet this won't get much of any press at all. Here are 2 videos that will provide you with more info about this terrible paper:
Excavations at Shimao in Shaanxi province have turned up the remains of a large bone needle workshop dating to the 2nd millennium BCE, the period when the area was transitioning from the Neolithic period into the Bronze Age.

1. Critiquing someone else's ideas is not "vicious."
2. Graham Hancock's followers are not "the general population."
3. Saying that an idea has racist origins is not the same as calling a person a racist.
4. No one was shunned simply for looking for pre-Clovis artifacts. 1/2

I was never shut down. I was encouraged. This kind of thinking develops among people who are so in love with their own pet theories that they can't understand why anyone could possibly not believe in them. So they need to invent the idea that academics are close-minded.
