Question:
In this section of the course, we have covered a range of archaeological myths and misconceptions of lost civilizations and ancient aliens. Many of these claims have been criticized for promoting nationalistic ideas or even racism.
1. Choose one of the fantastic claims covered in this section and describe the implications such a claim has for current social or political issues in the the world.
2. Do you think the political implications of this claim were intended by the author/person promoting the claim? Does the intention of the author/presenter matter? Why or why not?
Your post should be about 50-150 words and may be either a unique post (choose an interesting or provocative title to promote conversation) or a detailed response to another student''s post. To get full credit, you must adhere to the word limit, stay on topic, and be civil in your discussions.
