archaeology conspiracies make me laugh so fucking much because like… none of us can agree on ANYTHING have you ever been in a room with more than 2 of us do you REALLY think anyone could get us to cover something up en masse like are you aware of the amount of coordination that would take that we as a field 100% do not possess
