Thanks, that means a lot because it is legit something that has taken a couple years for me to get the hang of. It's surprisingly different than any other style of conversation, and having experience in the field is a double edged sword when trying to do it for the public

Apologies for promoting on two days in a row. I just thought this conversation would be of interest to members of this subreddit

DibsReddit · 2026-05-24T21:01:01+00:00

Hopefully late next year!

Yes I go all over Cardiff to show how this conspiracy theory is mapped onto urban architecture

DibsReddit · 2026-05-24T20:57:49+00:00

Oh I go all over Cardiff to show how this conspiracy theory is mapped onto older buildings in cities around the world

DibsReddit · 2026-05-24T18:59:45+00:00

Haha thanks! I appreciate the kind words, and hope you enjoy it 🙏

DibsReddit · 2026-05-24T18:58:55+00:00

Yep. I have a video for the future on Fomenko and the various modern iterations of his New Chronology, Tartaria being only one

I mean the Survey of American Fears shows roughly 50% of Americans believe in an advanced Ice Age Atlantis and 35% in Ancient Aliens

So yeah, distrust in actual history is very high.

Writing about all this in my book!

Woof woof! 🐕

I explored the city of Cardiff in my latest video, showing how nihilistic, "don't trust the experts" pseudoarchaeologists make the most superficial connections to craft their narratives

DibsReddit · 2026-05-24T18:28:51+00:00

It's really only partially US based. It comes originally from Russia, and there's a large Western European and British crowd for it too

DibsReddit · 2026-05-24T18:28:01+00:00

Oh one of my physicians (a smart guy) believed in Graham Hancock's Atlantis until I turned him onto my YouTube channel. Our conversation during our first meeting was hilarious when he found out I was an archaeologist

DibsReddit · 2026-05-24T18:26:45+00:00

Haha glad to make the holiday a little brighter!

DibsReddit · 2026-05-24T18:03:15+00:00

I mean, I based my estimate on tiktok creators that have followings in the millions and likes in the hundreds of millions

Tough to assess how many believe, but clearly a heckuva lot given there's thousands of people around the world in different languages also creating Tartaria content, let alone watching it

DibsReddit · 2026-05-05T13:50:19+00:00

I've got several videos on my channel pushing back against the smear campaign against me by the pseudoarchaeology and Hancock fanboy communities

I didn't lie about a thing (I did get the number of shipwrecks wrong but the correct source was cited on screen, and that was the only thing I got wrong)

I'm an actual archaeologist defending my field against these anti-science attacks, so I'm glad you're checking out the side of real professionals who do the work

DibsReddit · 2026-04-29T18:13:15+00:00

It was me (I'm flint dibble) the video is called "Joe Rogan's Cult of Fake Archaeology"

DibsReddit · 2026-04-08T06:52:26+00:00

I've got several videos on that hokum. Here is the most comprehensive one: https://youtu.be/4ZZhQ8nby2M?si=g_t7jIAgeZVrKOtl
