Okay, we are alive. Hi, this is William Ramsey. Welcome to William Ramsey Investigates on today's show of a very special guest. His name is Mark A. Carpenter. And I was interested in having him on to talk about the Kennewick man, kind of a fine that was found in Washington State, currently Washington State, but that caused no little consternation

in kind of the archaeological community. But he knows a lot more than just the Kennewickman,

and we can talk about that. He studied archaeology in Mexico's Ducatan Peninsula. I've

actually done that too, and live with the cahoons and native tribes. In the latter half,

he talked about evidence for giants.

I'm reading this from coast to ghost.

And Kenneth Wickman, and he believes the Smithsonian scientists,

concealed the truth about the find.

And based on his observations, the skeleton was much bigger than what they reported.

He also is going to cite a 2008 discovery of a giant tooth found in Denisovan Cave in

Siberia and kind of talk about that and some of his other influences.

So Mark A. Carpenter, welcome to the show.

Oh, thank you so much for having me.

I really appreciate it.

Cool. So for people who haven't heard your name or may not have heard you on coast to coast,

can you kind of, you call yourself a rogue cultural anthropologist? Can you kind of define that and talk a little bit about your background?

Sure, sure. Well, what I, my experience in, in the academic, scientific, institutional world is that it's an orthodoxy.

And you're going to get in line with that orthodoxy or your career is going to be sabotaged.

And that's basically how it works in a nutshell.

And I ran headfirst into that when I was studying

archaeology on the Yucatan Peninsula, studying the Maya. Oh, and that's really cool that you,

I had no idea that you were, that you had done something like that. So I'm curious to know what your experience was like.
