Feed Drop! Tales From Aztlantis and "Remembering the Maya Apocalypse"
6/27/20261 hr 26 min
As a thoughtful primer for our Skeptoid Adventure through the Maya World of the Yucatán coast this December, we're dropping an episode from our good friends at the Tales From Aztlantis podcast that's all about the so-called "Mayan Calender" that was the source of so much hype -- and some real harm -- leading up to December 2012.
FUN FACT: Tales From Aztlantis co-host and Indigenous Chicano archaeologist and ethnohistorian Kurly Tlapoyawa will be our guide on "The Mysteries of the Maya" Skeptoid Adventure this December!

Hey, everyone. Brian here. Here's something special for those of you who can't get enough Skeptoid. This December, we have two Skeptoid adventures running back-to-back, and you can do both as a little holiday present to yourself. First, join me and New Orleans expert Chris Perley for a two-night French Quarter getaway where ghosts, vampires, and voodoo queens get the full Skeptoid treatment. Beignets, jazz, swamp tours, and the city's famous above-ground cemeteries included. Then the very next day, we set sail with archeologist Curly Tlapoyawa for a seven-night Maya expedition through Cozumel, Roatán, and Harvest Caye, separating Maya myth from magnificent reality at every stop. Book both, and we'll knock an additional $500 off your total. One adventure or both, the choice is yours. Get all the details and reserve your spot at skeptoid.com/adventures. That's skeptoid.com/adventures. Hope to see you there.
