Annelise Baer

I’m a Los Angeles-based archaeologist and Emmy-nominated researcher and producer with an MA in Archaeology for Screen Media from the University of Bristol. I run the TikTok account @annelisethearchaeologist and its Instagram counterpart, where I share approachable and irreverent short-form videos that make archaeology and ancient history accessible to a global audience. Thanks to the incredible response from my community, I’ve also begun hosting group trips to destinations like Egypt, Turkey, and Iceland — designed to make travel to these “bucket list” sites more accessible for younger travelers and to help everyone connect with history in a fun, memorable, and hands-on way.
