People will confidently claim a piece of pseudohistory was invented by Nazis, and it's something promoted by some USAmerican guy in the 19th century.

Modern people would take this narrative and project hyperdiffusionism anywhere it suited them - Babylon, India, Atlantis, the Pleiades, etc. These people often claimed to know more about "real" religion/spirituality than anyone else!

Hyperdiffusionism has its roots in Ptolemaic Egypt, where Hermes and Thoth were syncretized and said to be the founder of an ancient tradition, which we know as Hermeticism. Neat idea, but still pseudohistory!

One example of hyperdiffusionism is Alexander Hislop's conspiracy theory that every polytheistic tradition is descended from a Babylonian mystery school formed after the Great Flood. He claimed the Tahitian god 'Oro was based on Horus.

Hyperdiffusionist narratives are often deeply colonialist, such as when Native American cultures are claimed to be connected some imaginary ancient Egyptian spirituality white people claim they've inherited.

Hyperdiffusionist narratives are usually racist; for example, by claiming Atlanteans taught all these people how to stack rocks in aesthetically-pleasing triangles, their own engineering abilities are implicitly denied.

A pseudohistory trope you've got to watch out for is hyperdiffusionism.
Hyperdiffusionism is the idea that civilizations across world get their culture from an ancient precursor culture - for example, claims that pyramids came from Atlanteans.

#Tartaria conspiracy theories are a bit obscure compared to some, but they've been gaining popularity over the last few years. Mia Mulder's excellent video explains and debunks the whole thing.

Most of us are actually pretty bad at guessing when anything originated because we're going off a bunch of unexamined assumptions and stereotypes.

A lot of pseudohistory assumes certain things we know today have been around forever, like assuming rabbits have always been associated with Easter.
It's good to ask, "is that thing really that old, though?" Even if it feels like it should be old.

Alexander Hislop is also the reason you keep hearing conspiracy theorists talk about a Babylonian mystery religion working behind the scenes. It goes back to his racist conspiracy theories.

Reminder that "Easter comes from Ishtar" was brought to you by the same racist hater (Alexander Hislop) who claimed horned Native American headdresses were based on horned hats worn by Babylonian kings.

It's worth remembering that most claims that X thing can't be Christian because it has things that don't feel Biblically approved go back to some ultraconservative Protestant who hated fun, or somebody trying to retcon Jews out of Christianity's history.

Hislop claimed certain Native American traditions were descended from this alleged Babylonian mystery cult because there's horned headdresses in both. That's how hateful and racist this guy was.

Hislop is also the source of claims that the Pope's mitre comes from Dagon's crown.
If two things looked or sounded similar, he'd claim they were related. He made a lot of tortured reaches.
His goal was to expose the Catholic Church as the invention of Babylon.

The claim that the name "Easter" derives from "Ishtar" comes from Alexander Hislop, a 19th century conspiracy theorist who claimed all polytheistic traditions were descended from a Babylonian mystery cult founded after the Great Flood.

Most of the people who initially went around claiming Christian holidays must've had pagan origins because they had things that didn't look Christian to them were uber-conservative Christians who didn't know a whole lot about history but loved to squash people's fun.

You can stop yourself from falling into a lot of BS by learning to recognize weasel words.
"Ancient texts say" - which texts?
"Scientists say" - which scientists?
"Investigators found evidence that proves" - did they really, though?

I only listened to the first seven words. IF "they came with pockets full of nothing" then they were ILLEGAL immigrants. The immigration law of 1892 required immigrants have $25 when they arrived at Ellis Island. #pseudohistory #historiography

The dodo was actually intelligent and inedible, contrary to popular belief. They went extinct mainly due to habitat loss and the introduction of invasive species by explorers, rather than being hunted. It didn't help that they had no fear of humans, like penguins today. They were initially named "Walghvoghel" meaning "tasteless bird" by early Dutch explorers. And as members of the family Columbidae, which includes pigeons, they were probably of above-average avian intelligence.
