[@vexingcat9813]

So, What Josh Gates has done is reprehensible. I, however, think you may have confused with someone else. Josh Gates is known as a low-level Millionaire adventurer, meaning he is worth less than 5 million. He is not known for a cooking show. You may be thinking of the late Anthony Bourdain, who was a chef and did some adventure television, mostly food and culture-related.

[@michaelfritts6249]

​@@vexingcat9813Anthony Bourdain was cool. He allowed us to join him in his love of food, travel, culture and the wonderful cultures of places unfamiliar to many of his viewers. Josh Gates is a Saturday morning "kids" show.. staged. His "discoveries" are geared to dramatic presentations for the benefit of children who may or may not know this.. but might possibly peak the interest or inspire children to show interest in the "stuff" that they may know nothing about. His "adventurer" costume and "Blair Witch" style filmography are not meant for scholors.

What tourists see when looking at The Treasury is not the “first floor”. I remember a story from 3-4 decades ago, I don’t recall the minute details but, it went something like this: A tourist noticed that the ground changes from hard rock, before walking down the passage, and changes to hard, packed sand/dirt. This person noticed the change and, using basic math, found that the hard rock was at a different angle than the flat sand/dirt ground. That’s when a new lower level was found.

A professional archaeologist would know if someone had been digging there before. There would be records of this and there would be signs of this in the soil. The executives of the Discovery Channel are dishonest and reckless in their behaviour. They willingly distort our history and portray archaeology as an Indiana Jones adventure. Popular Mechanics took the bait with an article written by Tim Newcomb, published on October 18, 2024, citing Josh Gates: “In the two centuries that Petra has been investigated by archaeologists, nothing like this has been found before. Even in front of one of the most famous buildings in the world … there are still huge discoveries to be made.”

[@paddycoleman1472]

If this is correct then I am shocked that serious organisations like St Andrews University would get involved in this - they should be ashamed of themselves. This all seems to unnecessary as a serious documentary could have been made about finally excavating these tombs 20 years after they were originally discovered. They could have brought in the original archaeologists and made them part of the genuine examination and any discoveries. In reality, a genuine opportunity was missed.

[@BubblesintheDesert]

Great video, just the right amount of facts and whimsy! The recorder/flute? *chef's kiss* Discovery Channel has always been a science entertainment network (heavy on the entertainment). If I were to guess, like you stated in the video, this was a publicity stunt to raise tourism interest. Unfortunately, a lot of those that were financially free to travel just a few years ago may be not be so comfortable to do so currently. Jordan's physical proximity to violent conflict in the region probably isn't helping either. Regardless, Jordan is just stunning.

There’s been enough real and dramatized ‘behind the scenes’ and ‘how the magic is made’ for most viewers to be cynical. They should have made it their April 1st episode.

Surely everybody must have known that it was nonsense. I mean the Holy Grail can't possibly be at Petra. Everybody knows it's at the bottom of a pit on Oak Island. Together with the original works of Shakespeare, Marie Antoinette's jewelry, the treasure of the Holy Roman Empire, the Ark of the Covenant and an unopened box containing an iPhone mk 1. ( allegedly !!)

Man, if we could only get our hands on that iPhone.

Thank you for standing up for "The little guy". No disrespet for Dr. Farajet, but you know what I mean. You're a good egg.

[@JoeriGeurtz]

Love the subtle well hidden memes in this one, thank you for bringing the facts as bluntly as they are presented to you, through thorough research

[@chrimony]

It's "amazing" how many "discoveries" that show makes on camera.

[@pointnemo369]

Click bait on mainstream prime time TV. I'm shocked I tell you shocked!

[@john9982]

This is the MAIN REASON I watch and keep up with Ancient Architects. Exposes the real true history with contex and is even handed. I wish there was a tv show that filed and taped back in 2005. I like Josh, but he knows he's a "Indiana Jones wanna-be" Josh should have had Harrison Ford on SITE! Your channel pulls the curtain back exposing OZ as just a lil man.

I called BS the moment I saw some burk wearing a fedora 😆

I watched the two-parter of this History channel show I had never watched. I did learn some new things- like about the church that was built after the big earthquake. But the stuff about the excavation... as I was watching it I kept thinking about everything I've learned from AA and knew immediately the whole clown show wasn't right. There's zero chance they would have just let a film crew and this loud actor (brush technique- omg) stomp around in there without having first measured, photographed etc. I've been waiting for this video from AA. Thank you for confirming my suspicions and turning me on to a new, proper, archeologist who deserves his flowers.

[@Jonnygurudesigns]

This is CNN type deception

Fr!

[@dr.froghopper6711]

If it bleeds it leads

[@DanielShepard-t5f]

CNN didn't have to pay a billion $ because of lies.

Wait until you find out about Faux News.
