#19 - Egyptian Vases, Lost Tech, and the Limits of Debunking | Dan Richards - Ancient Technology Podcast

Dan Richards is the mind behind DeDunking, a channel dedicated to discussing alternative history through a skeptical and evidence-driven lens. His approach rejects the usual sensationalism often attached to these topics and instead relies on science, logic, and speculation that stays rooted in the evidence at hand. Rather than blindly accepting extraordinary claims or dismissing them too easily, Dan examines where the arguments are strong, where they fall apart, and where real questions still remain.
