Brothers Of The Serpent

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.

After the customary SpaceWeatherNews update, we read the story of the three year old boy who was lost in the woods for 48 hours and, when he was found, said he "hung out with a bear". People seem to think he was actually hanging out with sasquatch. So we get our resident three year old to look at a picture of sasquatch, and he says "Inuno its a gorilla" so, he, at least, would not have called sasquatch a bear. The rest of the show is about spacetime gravity waves, time dilation, red shift, relativity, string theory, and other similarly simple cosmological concepts.  

In this episode we try to give an overview of the topic of ancient mysteries and why we explore alternative views of ancient history. We try to cover as much ground as possible with as broad a brush as possible. For long term listeners or people who are already versed in this subject, this show gives a good outline of our current thinking. For those who are new to the topic, we hope this will initiate you into this most fascinating of subjects.    

We take some time in the beginning of this episode to give a shout out and a farewell to a friend of ours who passed away recently. He was a great friend and a SnakeBro. Rest in peace, brother. After a spaceweathernews update and some other interesting and funny headlines and stories, we move to our main topic for this show, which is the island of Malta and its mysterious and incredibly ancient megalithic structures and subsurface hypogea, the anomalous skeletons and skulls found there, the "Venus Statues" found in some of the above ground structures, and the fact that no one really knows who made these places, why they seemed to appear suddenly out of nowhere, and vanish just as quickly.  

GMA of LateNite fame joins us in the Tangent Cube for the 2019 inaugural episode, bringing his engineering expertise to the subject of impossiblocks, and also recounts a snake expedition he took into the mountainous wilderness of New York State to look for an ancient serpent effigy aligned to the constellation of Draco.  LOTS of pics for this show!    Aurora Borealis by Alexander Kuznetsov via spaceweather.com   "Serpent Effigy" boulders and dry-laid walls on Overlook Mountain, NY                       Museum of the American Indian.

We talk with Walter Bosley on his book "Secret Missions II: The Lost Expedition of Sir Richard Francis Burton", which, if you haven't read it...go read it. Right now. We'll wait. .... .... Done? Ah yes, you have the classic "omg my mind is blown" facial expression. Good. We talk about that mind blowing book in this episode, and more. For those who have seen the movie "The Lost City of Z" about the adventures of Col. Percy Fawcett, this is like that, only more. And before. Basically, the stuff in that movie happened because of the stuff in Bosley's book. You can find Walter Bosley on Facebook, and follow him on Twitter at @WBBosley. His books are available on lulu. He also has a blog called Empire of the Wheel .  

We have a very special episode for all you snake sibs out there, we interviewed Mr. George Howard, who has been involved with the Comet Research Group from the very beginning in the work on the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis, which we have spoken of many times in previous episodes. George gives us all kinds of insider insights on the evolution of the hypothesis over the years, leading up to and including the recent publications on the Hiawatha Crater in Greenland, and where he sees the research going in the future and how this new data might affect the "standard model" of human development. George also sets the record straight on the attempted character assassination of Dr. Allen West, discusses the Carolina Bays, the Alaska Muck, and at least once refers to skerptards as "skerptards". Follow George on Twitter @CosmicTusk and at his website and blog, The Cosmic Tusk. Enjoy! (we certainly did)     Hiawatha Crater in Greenland Carolina Bays       LIDAR of the Bays

We read and discuss articles about recent earthquake mysteries, vanishing quasars, and a very strange standalone doorway in Rome called the Porta Alchemica which has inscribed upon it numerous riddles which we endeavor to solve on the fly. In the final segment, Russ reads from Michael Cremo's book Hidden History of the Human Race, focusing on a few of the anomalous discoveries of human artifacts buried in strata that is normally considered to be hundreds of millions of years old.  

Mr. Clint Beckham is back again, joining us in the infamous Tangent Cube of Science to discuss all things arrowheads and ancient Native American cultures and mysteries. It was a fantastic and fun show. clint.beckham@yahoo.com (830) 313-2648 Aoudad Adventures & More  

We talk about the Greenland Impact Crater in the first segment and what that means for the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis and the history of the human race in general. We read select sections from Graham Hancock's book Magicians of the Gods regarding unexplained and highly scientific artifacts on the Altiplano around Lake Titicaca including the megalithic sites of Tiahuanaco and Puma Punku, anomalous advances in agriculture from thousands of years ago, and the Aymara language itself appearing to have been constructed instead of arising organically. In the final segment we go through some of the really astonishing astronomical, biological, and philosophical correlations contained in ancient metrology, ancient structures, and mythology, respectively.
