As archaeologists, it is their professional responsibility to confront and counteract pseudoarchaeologists and their claims. Archaeologists are well informed in these subject areas, meaning they have the most knowledge readily available to combat these absurd ideologies. In order to become an archaeologist, one must attend a university and complete extensive research about different archaeological subjects. Their education is, in a way, the key to stopping these claims before they get the momentum to be as impactful as some pseudoarchaeologists have been in the past (such as Erich von Däniken). Sadly, most people in society do not care enough about archaeology, and do not have enough information on the topic to actively counteract pseudoarchaeologists. In addition, they are led to believe shows like Ancient Aliens and America Unearthed are based on fact, because of the lies told on screen and the channels that air them. People believe the History Channel to be truthful. So, this channel airing a show like Ancient Aliens will cause people to think it is fact. Furthermore, shows similar to America Unearthed will lie on-screen to their viewers. They spread false information about job titles, and real archaeological sites. The show twists facts about artifacts to make things seem more supernatural than they are. It is easy to believe everything is not as it seems, when constantly spoon-fed lies about reality. This leaves it up to archaeologists to stop these pseudoarchaeologists from spreading their misinformed lies.

So, how should archaeologists address these claims? Some believe that going on pseudoarchaeological shows and speaking the truth will help the cause. In reality, the show producers always twist their words, and it never ends up helping. These archaeologists have the right idea, but they must first begin on a smaller scale. The first way to address these claims is by confronting the pseudoarchaeologists one by one. Most feel unheard, and as though the government is attempting to “hide the truth”. If archaeologists spend time to confront each individual and educate them, perhaps it will reduce the number of claims made each year. An additional way to address these claims is by educating the public on truths about archaeological finds, and how professional archaeologists feel about different topics. This could be made possible by posting articles on popular media sites (such as Times, Forbes, BBC, etc.). Widespread articles (that spread the truth about archaeology) allow people access to information they may have otherwise never received. This could inform them on a pseudoarchaeology-related topic, and stop them from ever falling victim to these claims.
