Editorial Policy

Ancient Biotechnology covers ancient texts, lost technology and the biology inside them. This page describes how we research, write and correct our articles.

How sources are chosen

Every claim in an article traces back to a named source: a published study, a primary text, an archaeological report, or a museum record. We prefer peer-reviewed journals and institutional publications over secondary summaries. Wikipedia is consulted for orientation but never cited as a primary authority.

Where a paper has been retracted or a finding contested, we say so in the article and name who raised the objection.

How claims are checked

Before an article is published, every factual statement is verified against its original source — including statements that feel like common knowledge. We cross-check new articles against every piece already published on this site to make sure the site never contradicts itself.

Each article presents both the conventional explanation and the alternative reading, argued at comparable strength. The site does not deliver verdicts. Facts and interpretation are kept visibly separate, and the conclusion is left to the reader.

How corrections are handled

If you find a factual error, an outdated source or a misattributed claim, please use the contact page to let us know. We will verify, correct the article and note the change. Getting it right matters more than being first.

Nature of the content

The subjects covered here — biblical mysteries, ancient technology, lost texts, altered states of consciousness — are speculative by nature. Our articles are educational and investigative, not medical, legal or theological advice. Where the evidence is incomplete, we say so.
