Maritime Archaeology, Metacomet’s War, & a DAN shock in South America | #67 Sam Urban

07 Aug 2025

Description

Did ancient humans cross oceans 50,000 years ago? Sam Urban, known online as Illegitimate Scholar, joins the show to dive deep into the overlooked world of maritime archaeology and what it reveals about early human seafaring. From ancient dugout canoes and obsidian trade networks to the cultural clashes between English settlers and Algonquian tribes, this episode challenges mainstream narratives and explores how much history may be missing beneath the waves. We also discuss what modern archaeology gets wrong, how Graham Hancock’s ideas hold up, and why we don’t have physical evidence of the world’s oldest boats - yet.Follow Matt Beall Limitless: https://x.com/MattbLimitless https://www.tiktok.com/@mblimitless https://www.instagram.com/mattbealllimitless/ https://www.facebook.com/people/Matt-Beall-Limitless/61556879741320/ Listen on: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mattbealllimitless Apple:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/matt-beall-limitless/id1712917413  Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6727221 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/MattBeallLimitless  Check out Sam Urban:https://x.com/ill_Scholarhttps://www.youtube.com/@Illegitimate_Scholarhttps://www.patreon.com/IllegitimateScholarhttps://www.instagram.com/illegitimatescholar  Timeline:00:00:00 Introductions00:06:53 Iron Pigs00:13:06 King Philip & the Algonquians00:41:39 Ongka's Big Moka00:47:18 50,000-Year-old Boats01:18:59 Who gets the evidence wrong?01:24:48 Cultural Anthropology01:45:47 Haplogroup DNA02:02:01 Closing
