@eweissunburied @nickpopemod Super cool! I’ve lived here my whole life and never seen one out in the wild!

This morning Nick and I had the pleasure of seeing a Gila monster in our backyard -- these amazing creatures are rarely seen as they spend about 90% of their lives underground. @nickpopemod

@DrHughT @adancingferret @MrBeast They’re very interesting videos. Everyone in my house likes them.

Never would have thought I could get 10k subs making videos in my spare time, purely out of love of archaeology! Watch out @MrBeast, I am coming for you!!

@Abusoru @SoilManDan A lot of people should recognize a lot of things. Some are unwilling and aren’t worth the trouble.

@WhitneyColt5g @SoilManDan Perhaps Dan should recognize the difference between a stone being buried and a plastic object being buried.

It's a PC copy in the original case. Not special edition. All it's got going is that it's sealed. 20-30 bucks ungraded. Pay to 40-50 get it graded, maybe 80 bucks tops. I wonder how many folks he's ripped off claiming something was rarer or more valuable than it is...

@SoilManDan *choose

@WhitneyColt5g By the way, he literally admitted to overcharging people. He’s a scumbag and you enable scumbags.

@SoilManDan Well, that’s gross. But honestly…unsurprising. I’m not sure though, that me not wanting to see posts on the internet about him or from him is enabling him. I just chose not to give people looking for negative attention what they’re looking for.

@SoilManDan Ok…but my point still stands. Your constant posts focused on attacking them & name calling, makes you look no better than what you’re accusing them of & sometimes worse because the general public expects more out of professionals. It’s counterproductive on both sides.

@WhitneyColt5g The articles Dan used to refute the metallurgy and agriculture points and claim Flint lied have titles and conclusions that say the opposite of what Dan says they say And he’s not the only vicious asshole here, Illegitimate Scholar, Jimmy Corsetti to name a couple

@SoilManDan Ok….i understand that. What I don’t understand is why continue all the negative back and fourth on here? These posts also take time. And it literally just feeds the flames of all this negative ugliness.

@WhitneyColt5g Why? Nobody cares on this platform and every civil research post I’ve ever done got bogged down with abuse from the beginning. That’s why people don’t do it anymore. We have lives and those threads take time we don’t have.

@SoilManDan Yet? But how about previous work. Or other work being done that you find interesting.

@WhitneyColt5g I can’t post about most of my work, unfortunately.

@SoilManDan Ok. We can agree to disagree. I personally would still be more interested in seeing posts about your work rather than posts about people you don’t like.

@WhitneyColt5g Nah, it’s when folks try to engage him on archaeology that he gets what he wants. That’s why I stick to just calling him out with screenshots. Also he’s had me blocked for a while, so he doesn’t get any direct engagement from me.

@SoilManDan I think Dan’s nastiness in general is what cost him a big chunk of his platform. It’s literally why multiple people I know stopped watching his videos. Not people reminding us or people constantly antagonizing him. There will always be people who are frauds and liars. Everywhere.

@WhitneyColt5g From what I’ve seen, people reminding folks of Dan’s nastiness has cost him a big chunk of his platform. His channel isn’t doing well and Graham Hancock has stopped promoting him. People who aren’t frauds and liars I’ll leave alone.

@SoilManDan But why add to the engagement? That seems like you’re inadvertently helping him.

@WhitneyColt5g Dan is mostly harping on this for engage,ent, he doesn’t care that he’s lying and defaming Lee Clare. He knows he’ll see no consequences, and he’s desperate to save his channel.

@SoilManDan Understandable. But I don’t think it’s helping the situation. I think it’s feeding it and making it bigger.

@WhitneyColt5g That’s good. I’m glad you were able to do that. As far as my own actions, I personally find it hard to stand by when he defames and harasses people for trying to share their love for what they do. Same for anyone who knowingly lies for profit.

@SoilManDan And lots of people know this. I just think a post explaining why this is best practice would be more beneficial than arguments on x.

@WhitneyColt5g Oh, and Dan’s point is dishonest to begin with. With an object like the portal the best practice is to leave it in the ground.

@SoilManDan But then he’s making himself look bad on his own. Why feed into it? I personally stopped watching his videos due to some of the vile and disgusting insults made. It made me completely uninterested in anything he had to say.

@WhitneyColt5g Nope, my point was more his posts are all bullshit. And also he’s generally a dishonest person who’s been caught lying (about more serious matters) repeatedly. And anyway, I was Just Asking Questions…

@SoilManDan I know. I follow other archaeologists on here that post cool stuff all the time, & haven’t allowed themselves to be sucked into this nonsense despite occasional shitty comments. It would be nice to see that from everyone. One can dream….

@WhitneyColt5g There’s plenty of Archaeologists posting cool archaeology, although fewer nowadays as people try to avoid the “wrath” of folks like DeDunker. Oh, also all that archaeology is mostly happening on other platforms as X has mostly become a troll cave.

@MBeallX @RooBait 100% agreed. Not enough info to know for sure. But lacking enough to make the probability of it being real in the single digits.

@PeterBrandEgypt @MichaelButtonX Ummm…..wouldn’t other scientists coming in and doing more scans be considered gathering more data? Which is what Michael said. “We need more data”. So what are you criticizing? Weird response to a post that is neither in support of or against these scans.

This, paired with the pyramid scans, sits firmly in 'we need more data' territory. Anyone instantly confirming *or* dismissing it is letting their priors do the archaeology.

@BelindaLarie @25_mcdc @EricLDaugh The majority of countries aside from the US write the date: day/month/year.

@25_mcdc @EricLDaugh Those video shorts are being produced by Iran. I’ve been seeming them on YouTube for three days. One of the videos had a date: 11/3/2026 written across it. lol, they cannot even post propaganda correctly!

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump says he's hearing that Iran Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is DEAD, and that Iran desperately wants a ceasefire deal "I’m hearing he’s not alive, and if he is, he should do something very smart for his country, and that’s surrender!" “Iran wants to make a deal, and I don’t want to make it because the terms aren’t good enough yet,” Trump told NBC On the Strait of Hormuz: “We’re going to be sweeping the strait very strongly, and we believe we’ll be joined by other countries who are somewhat impeded, and in some cases impeded from getting the oil." On Khamenei: “I don’t know if he’s even alive. So far, nobody’s been able to show him." 47 is PRESSING HARD 🔥
