It's not every day the Secretary General of a health professionals' association credits a story you broke with helping to change Government policy and The Chancellor's Budget within days of it being released. Journalism still matters. #IR35 #LoanChargeAPPG bit.ly/2vDJfEQ

At the very least, there's irony in accusing someone of “dog whistling” while making a coded insinuation. If Dan thinks a phrase carries specific meaning, he should say so plainly & explain why. Don’t hint, block when challenged, & then question someone’s professional ethics.

@soilmandan @Graham__Hancock Blocking someone then questioning their professional ethics is poor. My article covered neo-Nazi video, white supremacist use of GH’s work, and academic criticism. Right of reply isn't 'softballing'; it's ethical reporting. express.co.uk/news/world/196…

@SoilManDan @FlintDibble @Graham__Hancock @ArchaeologistEd It seems me like you're the one doing the dog whistling, Dan.

@maxc73 @FlintDibble @Graham__Hancock @ArchaeologistEd That Graham used a very specific trope when accusing Flint of manipulating the media coverage around the controversy and debate. Go back to the debate and watch it.

A shout out for Ed Barnhart @ArchaeologistEd who appeared with me at the Mayan site of Palenque in Episode 6 of Season 2 of my Netflix series Ancient Apocalypse. Ed and I disagree about many things but it's always constructive and based on mutual respect. I highly recommend his YouTube channel for some excellent thought-provoking content. @Ed_Barnhart" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@Ed_Barnhart

@SoilManDan @FlintDibble @Graham__Hancock @ArchaeologistEd What are you suggesting, Dan?

@FlintDibble @Graham__Hancock @ArchaeologistEd I wonder if @Graham__Hancock seriously thinks people didn’t clock his “Flint and his friends in the media” dog whistle.

@BrightInsight6 As others have said, it seems to be the pot shards that are 6th dynasty - scarabs etc are attributed to New Kingdom. Regarding the 'no mummy, just skeletal remains' issue: if the sarcophagus was submerged in water for centuries, would a mummy survive - or just bones?

Herodotus said the Tomb inside the 100ft deep ‘OSIRIS SHAFT’ was the true tomb of KHUFU Compare the stone boxes. Is one not far more likely to be the tomb of a King? 📍Who’s words do you trust more: Herodotus of ~2,500yrs ago? or, Indoctrinated archaeologists in 2026? 🤔

@BrightInsight6 Could it be these were remains added to what New Kingdom Egyptians genuinely believed was the tomb of Osiris, as it dates to at least the Old Kingdom - in the hope whoever they belonged to would also be resurrected?

@BrightInsight6 Osiris was, as I understand the myth, resurrected after his remains, which had been scattered around Egypt by Set, were gathered up and laid to rest in a tomb. If this is a recreation of that tomb from the New Kingdom, why were remains added, undermining the resurrection myth?

- The Skeletal remains found in the OSIRIS SHAFT are MISSING - They may be the literal remains of KHUFU Connect the dots: Illegal Antiquity trade is $2-6 BILLION A YEAR. Were they LOOTED!? Meanwhile, Archaeologists on X could care less, as they are completely SILENT 🦗🦗 Does anyone else find it odd that they seemingly hate when Egyptian black market trade is addressed? Because here I am exposing it, and the only thing they’re doing is protesting me doing it. I wonder what that’s about. Hmm 🤔

@BrightInsight6 Well done on highlighting this (and the Gobekli trees), Jimmy. If archaeological finds have potentially gone missing, that should concern everyone with an interest in our past. It's a pity tribal animosity appears to be preventing deeper questioning by some.

THE OSIRIS SHAFT SARCOPHAGUS: Dr. Zahi Hawass: “Completely empty” Encyclopedia Britannica: “Empty” Snopes: “Empty” HARVARD ARCHAEOLOGICAL PUBLICATION: “Skeletal remains found inside” Me: “Where’s the skeleton now, and the 4 missing Pillars??” 🤔 Archaeologists: “I HATE JIMMY”

@Graham__Hancock I hope you're on the mend, Graham. Best wishes.

As all who were with me know, I fell seriously ill in Egypt in February with a horrible lung infection that still lingers. I'm glad I was able to fulfill all my commitments, despite the health challenges, but this trip really brought me face-to-face with my own mortality! Thank you for being there with me, and for your love and understanding. I'll never forget.

@cfeagans @DrDavidMiano I was using the term David used, Carl. Most you label 'pseudoarchaeologists' would not call themselves archaeologists, as they are not getting their hands dirty in the field - so perhaps a different term is needed... and Perhaps both sides need to stop trying to score points.

@maxc73 @DrDavidMiano There is no "alt arch." If one does archaeology scientifically it's just called "archaeology." If one doesn't, it's called pseudoarchaeology. Fake. BS.

[NEW VIDEO] Why has “alternative archaeology” become a dead end instead of a path to discovery? And why do these beliefs so often become part of a person’s identity? I offer my thoughts here => youtu.be/4uvD30xw_ZY

@FlintDibble @DrDavidMiano We don't know what we don't know. Uncertainty is the engine of discovery. Humility is wisdom. Much of our history is yet to be discovered and - thanks to archaeologists in the field - we discover more every year. I don't think saying this should be controversial.

@FlintDibble @DrDavidMiano Yes, I'm aware of this Flint. But even 5-10 years ago, many academics (admittedly not all) would have dismissed talk of large garden cities in the Amazon, linked by, as pseudo arch. And yes, their existence was proved by archaeologists - who should get their flowers

@adancingferret @Megalithic12000 Fascinating! How old are these?

@maxc73 @Megalithic12000 I actually really like what came before the proto-cuneiform tablets. Tokens sealed inside clay balls called bullae. Tokens representing goods like beer or sheep to be sent. On arrival the bullae were broken open and tokens counted to be sure the right amount arrived

They're arguing over whether to call it "writing" while ignoring what it actually means. Structured symbolic communication with the same information density as early Sumerian script, 38,000 years before Sumer existed. The timeline isn't slightly off. It's fundamentally broken.

@adancingferret @Megalithic12000 I see. I thought tablet on the left was 38k yo - but it's an actual proto-cuneform tablet which is presumably much, much newer? Having looked up story, items found in Germany are very cool & interesting - but also much more rudimentary. Calling it writing does seem a stretch!

@maxc73 @Megalithic12000 2/ gone on for decades. They may reflect notations of fertility cycles of animals, other simple notational methods, etc Very cool and very interesting, but also an area where it can be very difficult to confirm those very interesting hypotheses

@adancingferret @Megalithic12000 *Germany

@adancingferret @Megalithic12000 Ah, I see. Beer reference was for illustrative purposes only! Still, the discovery of proto-cuneform nearly 40,000 years ago in German seems truly remarkable. Wiki suggests the previous earliest was thought to be around 9,000 yo in China... That creates a 30,000 year gap.
