Ignatius Donnelly: The Pseudoarchaeologist Who Was Also a U.S. Congressman - Pseudo 125

What this episode covers

Did you think that Graham Hancock made up all his Pseudoarchaeology stories by himself?  I thought so too, until I realized that he simply plagiarized them from a 19th century US congressman named Ignatius Donnelly.  Enjoy this week's story of a truly bizarre, interesting man: author, lawyer, congressman, pseudoarchaeologist, utopian-community-builder, and con artist!
