Join us on a fun-filled adventure to fact-check the world! Through debunking history's hoaxes and disproving pseudoscientific scams, Dr. Craig Cipolla, archaeologist and Isabel and Gino Vettoretto Curator of North American Archaeology, shows the dangers of misinformation in the world of history and science. Explore the many methods ancient peoples used to construct monuments, as you challenge the conspiracy that aliens built ancient cultural landmarks like the Easter Island statues, the Pyramids of Giza, and Stonehenge. Study how unfounded rumours, fabricated science, false reporting, and hoaxes can shake the world as we know it and what you can do to make sure that truth prevails!
