Great episode. Inspired me to upgrade to paid. Question- is there anyone in Trump world that is hip to this stuff and could start digging around at Smithsonian? It seems to be a creature of congress but Vance has the power to appoint some board members.
Some of the best "Dissident" Archeology is spearheaded by Creationists. They already distrust the methods of dating and historical pressupositions so they're free to come to really interesting conclusions, (insofar as they don't contradict Scripture.)
Great episode. Very entertaining. Love big ideas in history. Giants in America etc. I think popularized a patronage program like you said is a good start to revitalizing the field. Hard to see Elon musk funding it, but it would be that type of background. Like the guy that put up a prize for decoding the rolled up burnt scrolls
