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.

Matt Shy joins us in studio to discuss his research and reading into the evidence for ancient giants around the world. In this episode we cover the mounds of North America and the mythology and oral traditions of Native Americans, as well as confirmed accounts of findings of large skeletons by the Smithsonian. We also discuss the differences between normal humans with "gigantism" vs large human skeletons that show no signs of such a "disorder".

Episode #315: Mysteries of Egypt - Part 1

Martin takes us through more of his research into alignments of the megalithic structures in the UK, demonstrating that some of these monuments may be aligned with each other across vast distances, implying that there could have been an overall plan for all of them, rather than simple random placement. We also look at some alignments of sites with the word "Devil" in the name, and how those may be correlated with churches named after St. Michael.   Thanks to Troy for the excellent episode art!

Episode #314: Megalithic Star Maps - Part 3

Martin returns for the second part of his presentation on his research into the possibility that at least some of the megalithic landscapes in the UK are enormous star maps that span many miles. This episode is heavy on the visuals, so be sure to check the YouTube version so you can see the images Martin is referencing. https://youtu.be/13P53NktVN4 Stay tuned for part 3, which we will post just before we depart for Egypt! Thanks to Troy for the excellent episode art!
