Normally rational people believe-or at least partly believe-in many fantastical misconceptions about the globe where they live. Certainly, it is an entirely human inclination to want to believe in what may be known as otherworldly explanations for phenomena that you will find no easily explainable causes. In these eye-opening lectures, Professor Susan A. Johnston from the George Washington University or college applies an archaeological perspective to the largest misconceptions and mysteries in world history. Analyzing prominent theories and available proof inside a scholarly light, Professor Johnston introduces her audience towards the scientific method, demonstrating the most reasonable course for identifying whether one’s values have got merit, or are maybe less than satisfying when held up to more demanding examination.
