Megan Fox Pisses Archaeologists

Megan Fox has a new show coming out on the Travel Channel (Rae Paoletta. "Megan Fox's "Alternative History" Show Has Archaeologists Rightfully Pissed" April 25, 2018) According to Deadline, the network just gave the green light to Mysteries and Myths with Megan Fox, a “four-episode hourlong series showing archaeologists as gatekeepers of information, actively trying to hide the truth from the rest of us.

 “Fox has been obsessed since an early age with the history of ancient cultures, people and places — always questioning their ‘documented’ story,” a spokesperson from the Travel Channel tells Deadline. “Now she is embarking on an epic and personal journey across the globe, where archaeologists and experts will re-examine history, asking tough questions and challenging the conventional wisdom that has existed for centuries. The series will delve into some of the greatest mysteries of time, including whether Amazon women really existed or if the Trojan War was real.” [...]   “History only gives us a one-sided view of the truth,” Fox tells Deadline. “I haven’t spent my entire life building a career in academia so I don’t have to worry about my reputation or being rebuked by my colleagues, which allows me to push back on the status quo. So much of our history needs to be re-examined.” 

In the past archaeological research and historical narratives have been manipulated for nationalist agendas and worse.
