  • The Mysterious Vanishing of the Anasazi

    This episode combines two of my favorite topics when it comes to history: the discovery of ancient hidden ruins and cowboy exploration of the wild west. In this episode I read a chapter from the book "Mysteries of the Old West," that recounts a fascinating true story from 1888 where two cowboys mistakenly stumble upon a lost city hidden in the cliffs of southwest Colorado while searching for their lost cattle. How would they find their way inside the ancient cliff dwellings? What did they see and experience deep inside? Who were these ancient inhabitants and why did it seem that they had suddenly vanished without a trace? So what really happened to the Anasazi? Why do the legends of the other four-corners tribes whisper that the Anasazi disappeared? Why does the ancient rock art of the Anasazi seem to depict strange spiral vortexes, portals, and what appears to be entities that came through them such as humanoids, chimeras and giant, six-fingered and six-toed footprints? At the end of this episode I share the shocking details of an archaeological excavation that appears to reveal that the Anasazi met a horrific end...

  • The Legend of the Poll na bPéist "Wormhole of Inis Mór"

    Inishmore is the largest of the Aran Islands of Galway Bay in Ireland and is an area consisting of 12 square miles. It is the largest island off the Irish coast with no bridge or causeway to the mainland. One of the most remarkable features of Inishmore island is the Poll na bPéist which translates as the "Serpent’s Lair," relating to the legend of a reptilian sea monster from Gaelic folklore. Most of the locals just refer to it as the Wormhole. This is likely the most unusual sight you’ll encounter if you ever explore Inishmore. It is truly considered one of Ireland’s top hidden gems, because what you will behold is what appears to be an almost perfectly cut giant rectangle into the limestone floor. Is the Wormhole of Inishmore just a natural wonder or is it an artificial creation of the ancients?

  • Ancient Ireland Frequency Towers, Strange Skeletons & Revisiting Roswell

    In this episode I cover a variety of intriguing and strange historical topics, starting with the discovery of several skeletons unearthed in Britain that were reported to be of immense size. I also breakdown the news of a supposed witness of the 1947 Roswell crash site who claims to have seen "four dead alien bodies." Next we travel to Ireland to investigate the enigmatic "Round Towers," that may be much older than traditionally thought and which may have functioned similar to Egyptian obelisks. Lastly, we will travel to Massachusetts in the year of 1891 where a very bizarre discovery was made as published by the New York Times.

  • The Mystery of Medieval Orbs & New Jersey Drones

    In this exclusive episode, I delve into the enigma of several medieval paintings that seem to depict mysterious orbs or craft concealed in the background of these master pieces. Were the painters giving us a glimpse of strange objects that they actually once saw with their own eyes in the middle ages? I also share of two unexpected personal experiences I have had of seeing unidentified flying objects in the night sky. One of these moments took place about 1990 and the other was in 2015. Lastly, I share the latest news, video and information concerning the New Jersey drone phenomenon and break down some of the hottest theories as to what they may be. And of course, I share which of these theories I am leaning towards most...

  • Karahan Tepe: Civilization of the Anunnaki and the Cosmic Origins of the Serpent of Eden / Andrew Collins

    In this exclusive interview I sit down with Andrew Collins, author of the new book "Karahan Tepe: Civilization of the Anunnaki and the Cosmic Origins of the Serpent of Eden." This book is Andrew's two-decade long quest to understand this sister site of Göbekli Tepe. Explaining how Karahan Tepe functioned as a shamanic centre for oracular communications, Andrew shows how the site's rock-cut structures were used to connect with the Galactic bulge and stars of Scorpius in their role as, respectively, the head and active spirit of a world-encircling snake identified with the entire length of the Milky Way. He traces this serpent motif throughout history, identifying it with the biblical serpent of Eden, the Kundalini of Vedic tradition, and the black snake of the Yezidis. He shows also how the founders of Karahan Tepe were recalled in Hebrew myth and legend as the Watchers and Nephilim and in Sumerian and Babylonian mythology as the Anunnaki. These then were the true founders behind Taş Tepeler, the world’s first post ice age civilization, a subject he has championed since the writing of his seminal work “From the Ashes of Angels” in 1995, penned as the first spades were going into the ground at Göbekli Tepe.

  • Lion Men Hybrids of the Olde World

    Why is ancient history chock full of legends, texts and artifacts regarding mysterious lion-like hybrids? From Egypt, to Greece, to Germany and Mesopotamia - why are chimeric lion men and women depicted everywhere in the ancient world? Why does the Bible speak of "Lion-like men of Moab” and warriors "whose faces were like the faces of lions?" Could these be a race of ancient hybrids who were related to the "Nephilim" that Genesis 6 and the Book of Enoch speak of, or the Anunnaki as described in Mesopotamian lore? In 2017, a popular magazine featured a shocking photograph of a real skull on display in Italy that appears to be identical to lion-hybrid depictions of the olde world. Is this skull, that supposedly shows the effects of a rare disease, actually evidence of a Nephilim-lion-like hybrid that once lived and breathed? Watch this episode to see this photograph, and to dive deep with me into the prehistoric past where I break down all of these ancient legends, texts and artifacts regarding the mysterious lion hybrids of the olde world.

  • The Aztec Death Whistle

    The first ever Aztec death whistle was found in Mexico City in the late 90s in the grave of a 20-year-old male who was the victim of a sacrifice. Beheaded, & with his arms crossed over his chest, the death whistle was found clutched within his skeletal hand. One of the most remarkable ancient musical instruments ever discovered, the sound of the Aztec death whistle has perplexed scholars for years. According to recent studies, it is so un-nerving that it can literally mess up your mind. In this episode, I actually play the sound of this infamous resonator for several seconds, but be warned that it might be one of the creepiest sounds you’ve ever heard. Why did the Atec's create these strange resonators? What were the actual results from the scientific tests? Watch to find out

  • King of the Jinns, Lord Pakal & Ancient Apocalypse 2 Ep 6 Review

    The second season of the much anticipated and highly controversial Ancient Apocalypse docuseries has been released on Netflix featuring author and explorer Graham Hancock. This season focuses on ancient sites located in the Americas, and Graham opens the season asking “Could the key to discovering a lost civilization of the Ice Age lie here in the Americas?” In this episode, I recap episode 6 with special guest Rhys Rogers, a fellow researcher, explorer and physiotherapist. Together, we share our thoughts on episode 6 which finds Graham Hancock visiting one of Mexico's most mysterious Mayan archaeological sites - Palenque. Rhys and I break down the fascinating information that was shared in epsiode 6 relating to the Mayan calendar, and how Maya architecture seems to have been a repository of ancient knowledge, linking heaven and earth. We also dive into topics not covered in the Ancient Apocalypse episode, such as the mystery surrounding King Pakal of Palenque. What he really 7+ ft tall? What happened to his skull? And Rhys shares a bit about his recent trip to Morocco where he unexpectedly learned of a local legend regarding the "King of the Jinns," and a mystical shrine on top of the mountain dedicated to this entity.
