description: "Peter Kolosimo, pseudonym of Pier Domenico Colosimo, was an Italian journalist and writer. He is ranked amongst the founders of pseudoarchaeology, a controversial topic in which interpretations of the past are made that are not accepted by the archaeological science community, which rejects the accepted data-gathering and analytical methods of the discipline. He also popularised ancient astronaut theories of contact between extraterrestrial beings and ancient human civilizations."
