Digging For The Bullshit

"Could the Egyptians have built this?" That, my friends, is the defining question for stupidity.  It was posed by this person, Josh Bernstein, on his History Channel show, "Digging for the Truth."  Who besides the Egyptians, you may correctly wonder, might have built it?  That's a short list right there.

Another stupid question:  Why did they live here?  On the cliff?  Why not down there?  (Re: the Mesa Verde Pueblo people in the old American Southwest.) 

This fellow had a decent education.  He majored in Anthropology and Psychology at Cornell university and received "a degree."  I did say "decent," he does not appear to have any post graduate degrees. 

He does have his Indiana Jones hat, although it's the wrong size, and he has his shirt with many pockets, and his Indiana Jones shoulder bag.  And he has his trim, youthful good looks too, that's very important on television. 

I'm not sure, but he may be mostly an eco-adventure tour seller when he's not asking stupid questions on the History Channel.  He's an energetic sort, he rides horses and runs up the stairs of pyramids in Mexico, but why is he on the History Channel at all?  I guess we know the answer to that one.  Once affectionately known as "The Hitler Channel," the History Channel now features mostly weird, non-academic, sensation-mongering fare that bares little relation to anything of importance to the real world, shows like "In Search of Ancient Aliens." 

I shouldn't complain.  The whole world has gone insane, not just the History Channel.  Maybe we should all just go insane and get with the program.
