Thanks again to Troy for the episode art!

Episode #306: Precision in Ancient Technology

We have Ben from UnchartedX on to talk about the latest research and information on the ancient stone vases from Egypt.

Clearly, someone was capable of high tech, high precision work in the deep past.

Episode #305: The Art of Sound - with Scotty Baldwin

Scotty is back! We have Scotty Baldwin on once again to discuss interesting moments in his career as Front Of House engineer for some of the biggest names in American(and now Chinese) music.

 

We also discuss archaeoaccoustics, sasquatch, exploring the wilderness of the Boundary Waters, and more.

 

Thanks to Troy for the episode art!

Episode #304: Airbursts and Cratering Impacts

In this episode, we read from the five papers recently published by the Comet Research Group in their new journal, about evidence for an airburst that destroyed Abu Hureyra ~12,800 years ago, and comparisons of impact proxies at Meteor Crater to materials found at known nuclear test sites.  There is also a paper about a possible impact or airburst much more recently, around 700BC, over Kansas, that was witnessed by the native american Pawnee.

We also discuss the new paper about Gunung Padang, a megalithic mound in Indonesia that has evidence it's earliest building phase may be as much as 24,000 years old.

Episode #302: Tales of the Little People - Part 4

Drew joins us for the final episode on his collection of tales about little people, fae folk, and pygmies, this time from the Americas. It is amazing to hear the striking similarities with stories from the other side of the world.

 

Thanks to Troy for the episode art!

Episode #301: The 300th Episode

We discuss some recent scientific discoveries in detail, reading from articles and the source papers about ancient solar storms that caused a massive increase in Carbon 14 in the atmosphere, and fossil prints at White Sands that definitively breaks the "Clovis First" model of the peopling of the Americas.

In the final segment we discuss a bit about where our minds are at regarding all these mysteries, as well as future plans for exploration on the podcast and in the field.

Hard to believe we've published 300 2+ hour episodes! Thanks for sticking with us, there's more to come!

Episode #300: Akashic Records and Ancestral Magic

Our guest this week, Heather Shy, has degrees in business and finance, but her true calling is in spiritual and physical healing using meditation and hypnosis visualization techniques to access the "Akashic Records" and ancestral knowledge.  Heather is also an accomplished astrologer. We discuss the connections between these different techniques, and the philosophical implications of the existence this kind of access to information.

 

Thanks to Troy for the episode art!

Episode #299: Tales of the Little People - Part 3

This week Drew takes us through the Arthur Conan Doyle saga with the fairies, and how he fell for hoaxed photographs....but we also read some of Doyle's writings on the subject of fae encounters, and they seem entirely rational.

We then spend some time reading and discussing the topic of Homo Floresiensis, also known as the "hobbits" of the island of Flores. There are tales of encounters with "little people" that persist on this island to this day, despite the fact that the fossil evidence of these "hobbit" people is at least 12,000 years old, and perhaps as old as 50,000 years.

We then move on to tales from Japan, with very similar themes, trickster beings that can be beneficial as long as the humans interacting with them abide by their word.

We will be performing at Howl at the Holler for the annular Eclipse on October the 14th, see the link for details:

Episode #298: The Spookiest Story Never Told - Part 3

Marty Garza joins us again for the 12th part in his series on the strange history of UFOs, aliens, magic, demons, spirituality, consciousness, psychic abilities, dark government agencies, wars, and weapons development.
This time we dive deep into some strange connections in myth from ancient biblical and Hebrew texts, shamanism, contact with the spirit world, angels and demons, the Book of Enoch, and CIA projects researching psychic abilities.

As always, Marty brings the goods with his detailed approach. We hope you enjoy this latest installment in the UFO series.

 

Thanks to Troy Hoover for the amazing episode art!

Episode #297: Tales of the Little People - Part 2

Drew returns for Part 2 of Tales of the Little People, an in depth look at the high strangeness contained in the stories of people's encounters with the supernatural in the form of the Fae Folk.  We discuss similarities with UFO and cryptid sightings in modern times, as well as ghosts, hauntings, and poltergeists.  The discussion then spills over into a Patreon extension.

Episode #296: Tales of the Little People

Long time listener and friend of the show Drew(LP McQuack in the Discord) joins us this episode to discuss one of our favorite SnakeBros topics - the Little People. Fairies, the Fae, the Good Folk, the Sidhe....they are known by many names and come in many forms.

In this episode, the first of a series on this topic, Drew takes us through a collection of tales of the Little People, with weird common elements and high strangeness.

Episode #293: Listener Communications - Live

Harvest time is here, busy season for us, but we're still trying to catch up on your emails! Laura joins us in studio for this live-to-youtube episode of Listener Comms. We read a bunch of interesting and funny emails, and get into a long conversation about the "end of the world", and how we think about it. What are the ways the world could be destroyed? Do we think about the destruction of civilization, or a huge extinction level event? How do you survive? Do you want to survive?

Episode #292: More Gobekli Tepe

We dive deeper into the latest science on Gobekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe, discussing the dating, the retaining walls, the midden mounds around the sites, and the lithics, bones, and other artifacts discovered in the enclosures.

We streamed this episode live on youtube, so we also respond to comments and questions from the chat, and read some emails at the end of the episode.

 

Episode #291: The Spookiest Story Never Told - Part 2

The lines between UFOs, religion, magic, the paranormal, and government intelligence agencies have never been more blurry and difficult to define as they are in this installment of Marty Garza's series on the UFO subject. Marty's deep research and ability to reveal threads of an enormous hidden web of conspiracy and connection is unparalleled in the UFO world. Come with us down the rabbit hole of The Spookiest Story Never Told, Part 2!

Episode #289: Unfinished - Mysteries of the Megaliths

(The first half of the show is the presentation Russ will be delivering at the Cosmic Summit. It is heavy on the visuals, if you want to skip past it to the discussion, go to 1:20:30)

 

We've been condensing and refining this presentation in preparation for the Cosmic Summit, and we wanted to publish it here before it is given at the Summit. Some of you will have seen/heard some of this material before, as we went through it in a much less refined form in Episode 243. But this version is much more concise, and it has new observations as well as some helpful diagrams.

It definitely relies on the visuals, however, so be sure to watch the YouTube version!

Episode #288: Lost Cities of the Maya - With Luke Caverns

Luke is an Anthropology student who specializes in the study of the ancient Maya. He is also one of the presenters for the Cosmic Summit. When we heard what Luke was going to talk about at the Summit, we decided we had to get him on the show. We contacted him, and it turned out he was right in our area, so he drove out to join us in person in the Tangent Cube to talk about his background and his experiences traversing the deep jungles of Mexico and Belize, looking for lost Mayan ruins.

Episode #286: Mysteries of Turkey - Part 3 - with UnchartedX

We went live on YouTube to discuss our recent trip to Turkey with Ben from UnchartedX. We talk about Gobekli Tepe and the popular narrative that has been built around the site, and the newer scientific information that is being published that changes what archaeologists think about the site. We also discuss Karahan Tepe,  Sogmatar, Nemrut Dagi, and the general area of Turkey around the city of Sanliurfa.

John runs a tour company in Mexico and is very familiar with many of the Mayan sites, and he gives us a lesson in the basic Mayan history and the associated architectural styles. We also discuss a bit about Mayan theology, astronomy, and the connection with the Olmecs.

After the interview with John, we give an Ag update and tackle some emails.

Episode #284: Mysteries of Turkey - Part 2

We went live on Youtube to talk about the amazing sites we visited in Turkey, and to show some of our video footage and photos. We discussed Nemrut Dagi, Gobekli Tepe, Karahan Tepe, Sogmatar, and more.

Episode #283: Gobekli Tepe and the Mysteries of Turkey

We are back in the cube from our trip to Turkey, discussing the culture of the country, the beautiful city of Sanliurfa, and the many amazing ancient sites we visited.

After an overview of the trip itself and some brief discussion of other sites like Karahan Tepe, Harran, and Sogmatar, we get into some details about Gobekli Tepe that we observed, as well as some of what we learned from reading the scientific literature associated with the site.

As always, there is more to come. Enjoy!

Episode #281: Origins of Civilization

With our trip to Turkey coming soon, we sit down to record this episode with Gobekli Tepe on our minds, and this leads to a discussion about the origins of civilization. What came first, the temple, or civilization? How do hunter gatherer people become farmers and ranchers?

Obviously, we don't have the answers. But we work through our thoughts in this episode, and it will be interesting to see how much we learn, and how that will change what we think now, after we see Gobekli Tepe for ourselves.

Episode #280: Listener Communications

We tried something new with this episode and streamed it live to the Youtube channel. It was fun, thanks to everyone who participated in the chats(and donated!!)
We read lots of emails and played some music and enjoyed ourselves immensely. We hope you enjoy it as well.

Episode #279: Written in Stone

Ben from UnchartedX joins us to discuss the amazing high quality scan data of a pre-dynastic Egyptian stone vase. Ben has discussed this object, the data from the scan, and the implications of the staggering precision evident in the manufacturing process several times on his channel.

Since the STL file of the data has been made available for download on the UnchartedX website, many people from around the world have been performing their own analysis of the vase, and we discuss some of the results of that on this episode, as well as some interesting results that Kyle has discovered on his own in his attempt to better understand the initial analysis techniques used by professional metrologists Alex Dunn and Nick Sierra.

There is a lot of visual data being referenced on this episode, so be sure to check out the YouTube version(it should be out within a few days of the publishing of this audio).

Episode #278: UFO Swapcast - Marty Garza & Grimerica

Another UFO conversation, this time with Darren and Graham from Grimerica joining us in a swapcast, and of course Marty Garza as a guest, making it more of a round table discussion.

We talk UFOs, coverups, government and academic involvement in the subject, physics, secret projects, and more. A lot of the conversation was in regard to the JRE episode #1945 with Eric Weinstein as well, if you're interested in the UFO topic and haven't listened to that episode yet, go listen to it!

 

The second half of the conversation with Grimerica and Marty will be available on our Patreon feed, or on the Grimerica Outlawed feed.

Episode #277: UAP Report - UFOs, Balloons, Conspiracy

Despite being out of town on vacation, Marty Garza joins us remotely for the first half of the show to discuss the current events regarding the objects that have been sighted and shot down over the Americas. We discuss possibilities, ideas, speculation, and conspiracies surrounding these objects.
Marty also talks about a sighting he had while driving on a remote desert highway on his way to his Vegas vacation. He stopped his vehicle and managed to get some video with his phone, which is included in the video version of this episode.

Episode #276: The Path of the Pole - Part 11

The final part of this (long) book report series. We finish up Hapgood's thoughts on evolution and how the idea of repeating crustal displacements might fill some gaps in the understanding of the process, then move on to the final chapter for Hapgood's conclusion, and suggestions for future research.
We also read from some of the many notes and addendums following the main body of the book, including some correspondence and meetings with Einstein, work on the physics of the axial stability of a rotating sphere, and more.  There is a lot of great information in this section of the book, much of which we did not discuss. We really do recommend you all get a copy so you can read it for yourselves.

Episode #275: The Path of the Pole - Part 10

We continue exploring the fascinating information in Charles Hapgood's book, Path of the Pole, starting this week with a detailed look at pleistocene deposits in South America that contain enormous amounts of megafauna and, sometimes, human remains. In caves, valleys, and massive mud deposits, these fossil remains speak of a geologically recent catastrophic event.

We then move on to Hapgood's discussion on the subject of evolution, and how his crustal displacement theory may help to fill in gaps in the explanatory power of natural selection and mutation.

Episode #274: UFOs and the Paranormal

We are joined on this episode by Marty Garza, guest and researcher from the UFO series, and Seriah Azkath, host of the excellent podcast Where Did the Road Go, for a full length roundtable discussion on the topic of UFOs.  We start with the current state of things in the UFO/UAP subject, then the conversation morphs into a much more broad discussion on the nature of the phenomena itself.

You can find Seriah's podcast here:
https://wheredidtheroadgo.com/

Episode #273: The Path of the Pole - Part 9

We continue our in-depth reading and discussion on Charles Hapgood's Path of the Pole, finishing up the section on megafauna extinctions in North America at the end of the last ice age, and moving into evidence for massive geological upheaval in South America in the recent past. Hapgood talks about the Altiplano area of Peru and Bolivia, Lake Titicaca, and Tiahuanaco, all of which show signs of being involved in an enormous geological uplift that brought the lake from contact with the ocean to its present location far above sea level.

Episode #272: Ice Age Bones with George Howard

George Howard joins us to discuss his knowledge of the Alaskan Pleistocene bonebeds we were reading about in Path of the Pole. George has a lot of interesting information about these deposits, including a Comet Research Group study on cosmic material recovered from sediments embedded in the bones themselves.

We also discuss a similar massive bonebed right here in Texas that George has known about for many years.  For various reasons, these bonebeds haven't really been properly studied, but maybe that will change in the near future...

Episode #271: The Path of the Pole - Part 8

Back to the book report! We had a great time in Egypt, and there are more Egypt episodes coming, but meanwhile we still have to complete Charles Hapgood's Path of the Pole.

This week we complete the section on mountain building, continental drift, and crustal composition, and move into chapter ten, which is about the extinction of the Pleistocene megafauna.
