Brothers Of The Serpent

The long-awaited part 10 of our UFO series with Marty Garza is actually the first in a subseries of episodes exploring more of the topic of what kinds of "technologies" have been gleaned from interactions with the phenomena of UFOs and otherworldly entities. How much does this topic really overlap with the occult? With ancient myths of gods, demi gods, "demons", "angels", and "ancestor spirits"? This episode we start with strange psychological effects of polar exploration, take a look at large studies of strange and "paranormal" occurrences by Russian and German scientists in the era leading up to the world wars, and how these studies seem to have affected the course of history moving forward. More on this subject to come in future UFO episodes!   Executive Producer of this episode: The Grimerica Show (thanks guys!)

Part 2 of our deep dive into Charles Hapgood's book, The Path of the Pole. This week we cover more of Charles' ideas on how the crust may have moved catastrophically, as well as the possible evidence for drastically different arrangements of continents in the distant past, such as evidence for large glacial masses in what are now tropical areas in India and Africa.   Get the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Path-Pole-Cataclysmic-Shift-Geology-ebook/dp/B003F7PEFG/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1662657062&sr=8-1   Executive Producer: Michael Hale

After our interview with Maartin from MarioBuildreps about ancient sites possibly being aligned to previous north pole positions on the earth, we decided we should take a deep dive into Charles Hapgood's book, The Path of the Pole, and look at historical research into this topic. The second edition of this book, published in the 1970s, is over 50 years old at this point, and is a revised edition of the 1958 printing of the original work, Earth's Shifting Crust.  It's certain that geophysical science has progressed since then, but it is still worth looking at the state of the art at the time.   Get the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Path-Pole-Cataclysmic-Shift-Geology-ebook/dp/B003F7PEFG/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1662657062&sr=8-1

Hugh Newman from  @MegalithomaniaUK  joins us to discuss the very ancient and mysterious site of Karahan Tepe in Turkey, a site very similar to the nearby and much more well-known Gobekli Tepe. Hugh has visited the site several times and spent time exploring the area both before and after excavations began. He brings his first hand experience of the site to us in this interview with a fascinating series of images and insights.

Conversation on the main topic starts in the second half of the episode. It's the end of August, and for us, it is the harvest season. We discuss this year's harvest of the grapes and the beginnings of this season's winemaking. Kyle reads a few news stories and we discuss those, then in the second segment Russ reads a long story from the Mysterious Universe website about four cases of strange mass animal deaths. In the second half of the show, Kyle talks about the "philosophy of narrative", how common stories have a powerful influence on people and culture. How much have ancient mythologies influenced us? We also talk about the ability to focus on one thing versus the need to pay attention to the big picture, and how to balance these two ways of looking at the world, and how that connects to ancient mysteries, structures, and mythology.   Thanks very much to everyone who supports the show! And big thanks to the following producers of this episode: Executive Producers: Michael Burroughs Philip Baklamov Matt Sh

We invited Laura to join us on this episode of listener communications, where we catch up on news stories and listener emails. There is some physics and cosmology discussion at the beginning after Kyle reads some science articles, then we dive into the emails on all manner of topics: the moon and the Younger Dryas, the Mississippi Mounds, ancient tech and tools, skeptics and the standard model.   Thanks to the following Producers of episode 255!

Is it possible that human civilization is much older than we've been taught? Maarten from Mario Buildreps has put together an enormous body of research that implies humans have been constructing complex structures going back hundreds of thousands of years, through multiple catastrophic periods of crustal displacement.

Saved by the swapcast! This was originally scheduled as a guest appearance on the excellent Where Did the Road Go podcast with Seriah, but our plans for our regular episode this week fell through, so Seriah kindly allowed us to use this episode as a swapcast. We discuss Charles Fort and the Book of the Damned, Feynman, cosmology, physics, electric universe, cryptids, UFOs, and the limits of human knowledge, as well as reading a few news stories and discussing those.   Find Where Did the Road Go here: https://wheredidtheroadgo.com/  

In this final episode of our book report on The Character of Physical Law, we go through Dr. Feynman's final lecture, Seeking New Laws, in which he describes how science works, and the methods physicists must use to attempt to discover new fundamental aspects of the natural world.

Continuing our book report on The Character of Physical Law, we read through the 5th and 6th lectures, The Distinction of Past and Future and Probability and Uncertainty. These are discussions on entropy and quantum mechanics, done in Dr. Feynman's unique style.   See the full set of lectures here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLez3PPtnpncQLg_H7f6T9yJmJ2aCIBUHS Get the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Character-Physical-Law-MIT-Press/dp/0262533413   Get the new Fifty Dollar Dynasty album "Precession" here: https://www.fiftydollardynasty.com/ Support the band here: https://www.patreon.com/fiftydollardynasty   Support the podcast here: https://www.patreon.com/brothersoftheserpent   Here's the black hole video Kyle mentions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeRgFqbBM5E

We finish the chapter on The Great Conservation Principles, and move on to Symmetry in Physical Law. We understand what it means for an object to have symmetry, but what about a mathematical expression of a physical law? This chapter is full of interesting concepts, delivered in Feynman's unique style as always. We discuss relativity, lightspeed, gravitational lensing, angular momentum, and how to tell an alien the difference between "right" and "left".   Find the full playlist of the lectures on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLez3PPtnpncQLg_H7f6T9yJmJ2aCIBUHS Get the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Character-Physical-Law-MIT-Press/dp/0262533413   Support the podcast through Patreon and get extra content here: https://www.patreon.com/brothersoftheserpent Get the new Fifty Dollar Dynasty album, Precession, here: https://fiftydollardynasty.com/ Support the band through their Patreon and get extra content here: https://www.patreon.com/fiftydollardynasty

We dive back in to The Character of Physical Law by Richard Feynman, again using short clips pulled from the lectures themselves and reading excerpts from the book.  This episode we focus mostly on the second lecture, "The Relation of Mathematics to Physics", where Feynman talks about how Nature seems to follow sets of mathematical rules, and how those mathematics might be related--at least in some cases--to large numbers of simple processes in the physical universe. Near the end of the episode we start on the third lecture, "The Great Conservation Principles", discussing the various "conservation" laws in physics such as the conservation of charge, the conservation of energy, etc. At the beginning of the episode we also take a quick look at the working relationship between Tycho Brahe and Johannes Kepler, their backgrounds, and the standard history of their story.

We tackle the first in the series of seven lectures by theoretical physicist Dr. Richard Feynman titled "The Character of Physical Law", this first lecture being on the Law of Gravitation, the history of its discovery, and its wider application in the methods of science and the further discoveries of physics. Copernicus, Tycho, Kepler, Newton, and Einstein are among the giants on whose shoulders modern physics stands.   Get the book from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Character-Physical-Law-MIT-Press/dp/0262533413 Get the audiobook from Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Character-of-Physical-Law-Audiobook/B00CS962AS?source_code=AUDORWS0718179KY7   Below are some of the images we were looking at of Tycho's planetary observation tools.    

Brandon is a Jujitsu instructor and teaches the Wim Hof Method. He has joined us on many of our Contact at the Cabin events, running breathwork sessions and ice bath instruction for attendees. Brandon was in our area to teach some classes over the weekend so we invited him out to the Tangent Cube for some podcasting.  We talk about Jujitsu, Wim Hof, shamanism, the power of the breath, and general life hacking for physical and spiritual improvement.

Jahannah recently got involved with the team from the "Builders of the Ancient Mysteries" documentary to help them with the English narration, and she's become fascinated by the mystery of the  amazing rock-cut chambers in India called the "Barabar Caves". These chambers are explored in the documentary itself, along with many other megalithic mysteries of the ancient world, and the BAM team is working on a new documentary that focuses on the Barabar Caves. Jahannah joins us to talk about her work with the BAM team, her fascination with the Barabar Caves, and possible upcoming trips to visit these enigmatic chambers. There is video for this episode! Check it out on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/kse6AqBqR0w   Visit the BAM website to see the new version of the documentary with Jahannah's narration: https://builders-of-the-ancient-mysteries.com/ Visit Jahannah's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/FunnyOldeWorld

We explore over 180 images we took on our recent trip to Egypt, discussing the megalithic stonework of Menkaure at Giza, the Osireion of Abydos, the quarry at Aswan with the Unfinished Obelisk, and the Serapeum of Saqqara. At these sites, there is evidence of anomalous, unknown techniques of stoneworking, evidence of multiple stages of construction with vast amounts of time between them, and evidence that the people doing the work seem to have just vanished in the middle of the job, never to return. Shout out to Ben from UnchartedX for some of the images from Peru that we show near the end of the presentation. This is a video presentation, so it is probably better watched than listened to.

Ben from UnchartedX joins us this week for a long-form discussion on the technical aspects of some of the anomalous ancient megalithic stonework we see around the world. Are these sites connected stylistically? Do the precision, difficulty, and advanced engineering evident in many of these sites indicate the presence of a lost precursor civilization in deep history? We tackle these questions and many more in this episode.   This episode was also broadcast live to our Discord Server, which we do from time to time.
