ANTH 235

Did aliens help build the Pyramids, was Atlantis a real continent, and did a race of giants once roam eastern North America? From the “missing link” to alien landing strips, this course explores and exposes some of the biggest archaeological hoaxes in history. In the process, it will investigate the role pseudoscience plays in perpetuating such frauds and examine how archaeologists debunk hoaxes by establishing what we know about the past.
