Michael Button: Rising Pseudoarcheology Fraud

It's time to expose another worthless pseudoarcheology fraud! With some obvious targets out of the way, let's hit one of the newer rising stars, Michael Button. He's essentially a Graham Hancock clone. Same script full of lies, same accent, same demeanor, same everything. He seems to be hoping to be passed the torch, and Graham seems to approve. If you saw through toxic douchebags like Dan and Jimmy, but you were clinging to this guy as some kind of voice for truth, think again. Every video is jam packed with lies and deception. Let's debunk the crap out of his content, as well as his Joe Rogan episode.
