Reply to comment by ProjectBadass- in 2,000-year-old Mayan civilization discovered in the north of Guatemala by HRJafael

In what way is this man a journalist? He seems like a hack that got lucky.

He hasn't been published in anything significant since the 90s.

Why bring it up? What relevance does this have to him being a pseudo scientist?

I replied to a post about him being a pseudo archeologist. He never claimed to be an archeologist. He's claimed to be a journalist.

Journalist : a person who writes for newspapers, magazines, or news websites or prepares news to be broadcast.

Hasn't done any of this since the 90s.

So I'll go with his Wikipedia description:

British writer who promotes pseudoscientific theories involving ancient civilizations and lost lands.

I feel the most important part of that is the word pseudoscientific
