Manage episode 461439475 series 3444205
This episode delves into the ethical implications surrounding using human remains in archaeology and pseudoscience, particularly within the context of ancient alien theories. It critically examines how figures like Jaime Maussan have manipulated human remains to promote sensationalist claims of extraterrestrial involvement in human history, often neglecting the dignity of the individuals represented. The discussion highlights the troubling legacy of hyperdiffusion and racism that usually underpins these pseudoscientific narratives, contrasting them with the self-reflective practices emerging in modern archaeology. As the episode unfolds, it raises crucial questions about the responsibilities of both researchers and the public in handling and presenting human remains. Ultimately, it calls for a commitment to integrity and respect in understanding the past, advocating for a history that honors all of humanity.
