Description

Sometimes modern humans just can’t resist the urge to falsify archaeological evidence - we don’t always know why, but sometimes it may be to support their own theory of history, or sometimes just for a joke. In this episode we explore 3 archaeological hoaxes, who the perpetrators were (if known) and why they did it.
