THC 28: Philip Coppens | The Ancient Alien Question
Sinai Desert Glass Beads, Sitchin Misrepresentation
Philip Coppens details a specific instance where Zecharia Sitchin allegedly misrepresented scientific data to support a theory of ancient atomic warfare. Sitchin claimed that glass beads found in the Sinai desert had no known natural origin, but Coppens located the source paper cited in Sitchin's own bibliography. The actual scientific report concluded the beads were the result of a volcanic eruption from Santorini (Thera), contradicting Sitchin's claims of nuclear activity.
