random rant

I don't think I will be able to watch History channel, or History International anymore and I am starting to think that most museums and History and Archeology departments that associate themselves with either channel at anytime should be blown up!
These channels and their shows mention ideas or theories of what things, from civilizations that have been gone for thousands of years and left NO WRITTEN history, might have meant and then repeat their theories over and over as fact...
I would kill for a time machine right now to bring back an Orkney Pagan or a Henge builder and watch them beat the crap out of the EXPERTS (they keep using that word over and over again) for desecrating their religious sites with blasphemous ideas... These people have no clue what the hell they are talking about...
many times they are interpreting from "clues" that don't even exist anymore... or have no actual proof of what the clues that do exist actually mean:
Oh my look there is a cow skull at an embankment that took decades to make so this is obviously a religious point for death ceremonies long before the henge was built except that about 15 min earlier we, the "experts", told you that all henges were built with embankments that were dug first and since this is the largest ever made and took decades it couldn't possibly just be that there were some religious cereomonies done while digging or that they consecrated it in certain ways and not that is was a religious site before hand instead of it being dedicated to death in every way
I am enraged by the way this show was directed produced and narrated and the "experts" that were used and spoke their theories as facts and known facts that are practically irrefutable they don't deserve to be acknowledged as historians at all ever again.

This is at least the tenth time I have been frustrated or pissed off by these channels and the way they show historical events people or places. Only a couple weeks ago I was enraged by a show denigrating Alexander the Great and I have seen at least three shows about Cleopatra that were filled with twaddle and modern psycho babble that had nothing to do with actual fact, culture, or history... Now the Pagans of the British Isles.
Learning is disappearing and I for one am made quite sad by it.
