Abstract
This article aims at comparing two pages of blogs that deal with the
archaeological site Göbekli Tepe in a pseudo-archaeological way. To
do so, first, a theoretical foundation will be made on the
archaeological method and the pseudoarchaeology, to conceptualize
the last term; then, we will analyze aspects that approximate and
distance the sources in terms of their way of convincing the reader
and of the presence of colonialist ideas.
