Michael Button: Rising Pseudoarcheology Fraud

from Professor Dave Explains Hosted by Professor Dave Explains

It's time to expose another worthless pseudoarcheology fraud! With some obvious targets out of the way, let's hit one of the newer rising stars, Michael Button. He's essentially a Graham Hancock clone. Same script full of lies, same accent, same demeanor, same everything. He seems to be hoping to be passed the torch, and Graham seems to approve. If you saw through toxic douchebags like Dan and Jimmy, but you were clinging to this guy as some kind of voice for truth, think again. Every video is jam packed with lies and deception. Let's debunk the crap out of his content, as well as his Joe Rogan episode.Population dynamics of mid-Holocene: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-35920-zTrump's Malta research: https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/bitstream/123456789/9224/1/Megalithic%20Architecture%20in%20Malta.pdf4.2 ka event: https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/bitstream/123456789/87871/1/The_4_2_ka_event_and_the_end_of_the_Maltese_Temple_Period_2022.pdfHunter-gatherer sea voyages: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-08780-yAstronomical alignments in Malta: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/253385376_Investigation_into_the_Possible_Astronomical_Alignments_of_the_Copper_Age_Temples_in_MaltaKalambo Falls find: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06557-9Lidar in the Amazon: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-04780-4Watch all my Pseudoarcheology Debunks: http://bit.ly/ProfDavePseudoarchWatch my Anthropology/Archeology Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveAnthroWatch my other debunks/debates/discussions: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveDebunkEMAIL► [email protected]► http://patreon.com/ProfessorDaveExplainsCheck out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!Amazon: https://amzn.to/2HtNpVHBookshop: https://bit.ly/39cKADMBarnes and Noble: https://bit.ly/3pUjmrn
