  1. Hindutva Profiles: Sarah L Gates

    Gates 'justifies' the discriminatory caste system in the Hindu religion by labeling the scourge as a British innovation aimed at defaming Hinduism. Gates regularly indulges in fear-mongering among Hindus and openly exhorts them to ‘step up and fight back’ against the supposed Hinduphobia.

  3. Hindutva Profiles: Vikram Sampat

    Sampat is considered by the Hindu far-right as someone who is putting forth an accurate ‘indic version’ of India’s past. Sampat is invited to platforms that eulogize Hindu supremacy and propagate the idea of exclusive Hindu polity (Hindu Rashtra), like The Sangam Talks, The Jaipur Dialogues, and others.

  5. YouTuber #RebalD has some important points about the #Netflix "documentary" #QueenCleopatra I can agree with: youtu.be/jwv_cIm2RRY
    Two of his points were not clear to me until now:
    1. Since #Cleopatra belonged to a dynasty of #Macedonian-#Greek origin, she was not only not Black, but also a quasi-#colonial ruler.
    2. Because Egyptian history is reinterpreted by outsiders in a way that denies contemporary Egyptians part of their identity, it is #CulturalAppropriation.

  7. The idea that the #Joseph of the Old Testament was #Imhotep is a mixture of the usual "Biblical history" pseudo-historical distortion, with a bit of crossover appeal to the lunatic fringe "Alternative" #Egyptology nuts. It's a kind of anti-intellectual, anti-historical supermarket, with something for everyone.

    Jason Colavito has traced the historiography of the connection between #pyramids and Joseph's grain silos to the late antiquity and early medieval writers Julius Honorius and Gregory of Tours. Honorius' Cosmographia, probably written in the 4th or 5th century CE, specifically mentioned that the pyramids were Joseph's granaries, whereas Gregory's 6th century History of the Franks alluded to the same idea, but without using the word "pyramid".

  10. BJP propagates fiction as history: 'Uri and Nanje Gowda killed Tipu Sultan'

    Historians have long believed that Tipu was killed by the British during the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War in 1798-99. They call the BJP’s new version a sinister design.

  15. Answers Research Journal is a "peer-reviewed" creation "science" #pseudojournal published by Answers in Genesis (AiG). ARJ features #pseudohistory, bad philosophy, and Biblical literalist analysis pieces, but not much in the way of science.

    Upon creation of the journals, Nature, Scientific American and Discover quickly published criticism of the site. Slate and AiG themselves have also traded commentary, and several blogs such as the Sensuous Curmudgeon and Happy Jihad's House of Pancakes have routinely produced criticism of the journal.
