Atlantis with Dan Richards | The Solid Show #147

Dan makes the case for questioning Atlantis, pyramids, strange artifacts, and lost civilizations without abandoning logic or common sense. Dan, Deric, and Ehsan dig into ego, politics, and gatekeeping in science and archaeology, plus conspiracy claims, Occam's razor, AI, bad teaching, and why honest uncertainty matters: "I'm not saying I have the answers, but you saying you have the answers, that's the problem."
