Episode: Ignatius Donnelly: The Pseudoarchaeologist Who Was Also a U.S. Congressman - Pseudo 125
Description: 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!Links Wikipedia page on Ignatius Donnelly: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignatius_L._DonnellyContact Kinkella Teaches Archaeology (Youtube) Blog: Kinkella Teaches ArchaeologyArchPodNet APN Website: https://www.archpodnet.com APN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/arch...
