Lack of qualifications of its board of directors and founders, some of whom are authors

edit

One co-founder and current member of the Board is Joshua Mark. His entry[1] in the encyclopedia states that he "is a freelance writer and scholar who has lived in Greece and Germany, traveled through Egypt, and presently lives in upstate New York with his family. He is co-founder, editor, and a director of Ancient History Encyclopedia. He has published short fiction through various literary journals/magazines (Writes for All, Five Stop Story, Pagan Friends, etc) and non-fiction through Celtic Guide, History Ireland, Litro USA and Litro UK, and Timeless Travels Magazine, among others. Mark was a part-time philosophy professor and writing instructor at Marist College and recipient of the Faculty of the Year Award and the Special Services Award of Merit." It's CEO is Jan van der Crabben[2] who "has extensive professional experience in digital media, including digital marketing, web development, and video games. He holds a BA in Journalism from the University of East London and an MA in War Studies from King's College." The other member of the Board of Directors is Mark Cartwright[3] who "s interested in art and architecture, and especially ancient pottery and what these everyday objects can reveal about past lives and traditions. Having lived for several years in France and the Czech Republic, been a frequent visitor to Greece, and now based in Italy, he is a great believer in Jacque-Yves Cousteau's maxim: Il Faut aller voir - we must go and look for ourselves - and hopes his articles and photos will inspire visitors to AHE to do the same. MA Political Philosophy, University of York BA Politics (1st), University of Teesside". It's co-founder is James Blake Wiener[4] He now heads the Advisory Board. Trained as a world historian and previously a professor, James is a public relations professional who is interested in cross-cultural exchange, world history, and international relations." Seriously, "previously a professor"? That suggests a lot more than it is/was.
