Brothers Of The Serpent

We talk about the mystery of civilizing knowledge, esoteric information, and technology being "injected" into cultures around the world from time to time across history. Where does this information come from, really? We also read our regular spaceweathernews updates and lots of new listener communications.

We have a two hour conversation with Darren and Graham, the hosts of the excellent Grimerica podcast, about censorship, ancient mysteries, podcasting, pyramids, going to Mars, and much more! We had a lot of fun with this conversation. This swapcast went out live in full video through the Grimerica stream, so if you want to watch the video, you can find it on Grimerica's YouTube channel.

We have a fantastic chat with Tom, a fellow CAC attendee, who has followed Randall Carlson's work for years and brings a unique perspective to the study of catastrophic geology in North America. His decades of experience working as a scientific glass blower and seeing the patterns and reactions of molten glass to various stimuli have led him to a new way of analyzing very large patterns in the geology around certain areas of North America. We talk about his ideas and vision on this subject, and much more!

We give an in-depth description of what we saw and what we learned at Contact at the Cabin. The archaeology, the geology, an much more! Also, we read a few news stories, and some listener emails and comments.

For our last episode in the double digits we interview Seriah Azkath, host of "Where Did the Road Go" podcast(which everyone should subscribe and listen to, if you don't already). Seriah has tackled just about every mysterious topic there is on his podcast, and we talk about a little of everything, getting his take on ancient civilizations, poltergeists, UFOs, ghosts, consciousness, physics, cryptids, electric universe, and of course, pyramids.   Get more of Seriah's work on Where Did The Road Go podcast and website.

From Pagosa Springs, CO, with Randall Carlson and Grimerica. We spent an amazing ten days at the Elk Lake Lodge, having fascinating conversations, going on hikes, exploring the wilderness, visiting Chimney Rock and Mesa Verde, looking at mysterious ancient ruins, having our minds blown by Randall's fantastic presentations, jammin' live music, looking for UFOs, getting snowed on, visiting the hot springs, and much more. It was magical and amazing. In between all of that it was hard to find time to podcast, but we did it, and even managed to get everyone down into the podcast room for a big roundtable, which you will hear on this episode, plus some audio from Randall's presentation on Lake Nipigon, ice age catastrophes, and possible future expeditions.

Joshua Cutchin joins us for an excellent conversation about all things paranormal. We talk a bit about his book "A Trojan Feast", but mostly we just take a fascinating dive into all kinds of paranormal topics, from cryptids to ufos to fairy folklore.

We read some listener emails and comments, which are always great, and discuss those. Then Russ reads an article about Alien Abduction Insurance. After we laugh about that, Russ reads an article from the excellent website ancient-origins.net, about enormous ancient stone mesoamerican sculptures that have areas of anomalous magnetism embedded in them, and we talk about how the standard model picture of ancient civilizations, with no access to iron, would have no way of figuring out there was magnetism in the stone.... so how did they know it was there? Kyle talks about the diagrams of ancient mounds and geoglyphs, and how they seem to be attempting to "square the circle" in some of these structures. We also speculate on what it would be like for ancient people to have tried to comprehend the night sky, and what things they may have noticed without all the modern understanding about stars and planets getting in the way.

This is part 2 of our deep dive into the excellent book, "The Ancient Giants Who Ruled America" by Richard J. Dewhurst.

We dive into the excellent book, "The Ancient Giants Who Ruled America" by Richard J. Dewhurst, reading excerpts and discussing as we go. One of our favorite topics.

This is part 2 of our two-episode megapodcast on "The Sign and the Seal" by Graham Hancock, about the lost Ark of the Covenant.

We start working our way through "The Sign and the Seal" by Graham Hancock, about his initiation into ancient mysteries by way of his search for the final resting place of the lost Ark of the Covenant.

We interview Dr. Brian Keating about his book, "Losing the Nobel Prize", and we talk physics, the Big Bang, the Multiverse, inflation, gravity, cosmic microwave background, Antarctica, and more. Russ gets pretty much everything wrong, while Kyle publishes his first physics paper. "Dr. Brian Keating is a professor of physics at the Center for Astrophysics & Space Sciences (CASS) in the Department of Physics at the University of California, San Diego. He is a public speaker, inventor, and an expert in the study of the universe’s oldest light, the cosmic microwave background (CMB), using it to learn about the origin and evolution of the universe. Keating is a pioneer in the search for the earliest physical evidence of the inflationary epoch,[1] the theorized period of expansion of space in the early universe directly after the Big Bang."

We have a fantastic discussion with the one and only Randall Carlson about vulcanism, ancient mysteries, extinction events, the Younger Dryas, the Missoula Flood, Drumlins, Carolina Bays, the Great Chicago Fire, and much more! We also discuss the upcoming Contact at the Cabin event with Randall and the guys from Grimerica in late May, which we will be attending, to go on field trips to sites of geological and archaeological interest.

We spend some time on listener comments and correspondence, reading them and responding in kind. Kyle then reads some fascinating news stories about ancient CMEs, and advanced mathematics describing why hipsters are the first to be annoying, anywhere. After that, we read excerpts from Graham Hancock's book Underworld about the mysterious Jomon people of ancient Japan, whose culture survived for at least 12,000 years. Jomon pottery is by far the oldest pottery ever discovered, by many thousands of years, and they had some oldest known organized planned settlements in the world.

We speak with Sheldon from the C-Word podcast and mine his brain for valuable nuggets of geological data. He has a degree in geology and has experience in using his degree in the field for oil, gas and mining industries. We talk about uniformitarianism, catastrophism, the Younger Dryas, plate tectonics, the Mohorovicic Discontinuity, vulcanism, rock formation and dating technologies, and pirates at strip clubs. Thanks very much to The C Word for letting us borrow their geologist for one show! Check them out on Twitter @cwordpod and on iTunes. Enjoy!

We focus on mysterious ancient codices and untranslated written languages and texts from around the world, leading to all manner of discussion on a wide range of subjects. We also deliver the weekly SpaceWeatherNews update, a few interesting news articles, and some listener correspondence.     Dragon Aurora   Fire Falls   Humpback whale in Amazon   Cretan Hieroglyphs on Phaistos Disc   Wadi el-Hol script   Sitovo inscription Olmec writing   Singapore Stone   Rongorongo   Proto-Elamite   Indus Valley script, with Unicorn   Mohenjo-daro     

After reading the entirety of the Upuaut Project info from Gantenbrink's website in episode 85, we follow up on the topic of the "air shafts" in the Great Pyramid by reading articles and info on the more recent explorations of the shafts, finishing up with the ScanPyramids data about the "voids" discovered above the Great Gallery. We discuss the possible ways that Gantenbrink's data may coincide with the ScanPyramids data, and much more.   Mercury after sunset, spaceweather.com   ScanPyramids Big Void      

In this episode we do a deep-dive into German Engineer Rudolph Gantenbrink's exploration of the mysterious "air shafts" in the Great Pyramid, reading at length from his website where he meticulously records every detail of the project to use a robotic crawler to drive a camera up the shafts and inspect them up close, block by block, culminating in the discovery of the now infamous "secret door". So many interesting features were discovered by Gantenbrink and his "Upuaut" robot, most of which were so overshadowed by the "door" that these other details are rarely reported. We remedy that with this show.

This week we had a very special guest(our dad) on the show to regale us with stories about moving and lifting very heavy loads in massive construction projects, the associated headaches and difficulties and, sometimes, outright disasters that can occur when trying to lift object A and place it on point B. His decades of experience allows him to explain very well how complex such operations are, and how much engineering and technology is required to complete them. We compare some of the modern world's most powerful lifting machinery to what would have been required to complete some of the ancient megalithic structures still standing today, and even do some basic math to get the specs for a crane for building the Great Pyramid. Spoiler alert: it would have to have been way bigger than anything we have today.
