Joe Rogan Experience #2528 - Cassie Coppersmith

The Joe Rogan Experience.

How are you?Great.How are you doing?

Very nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

I've enjoyed your content online.

Thank you.

I got first introduced to you by a video you did with his channels, Megalithic Marvels.Yes.Yeah.And it was about ancient Chinese artifacts that don't make any sense.And it was so fascinating.The moment I saw it, I reached out to my guy.

I was like, I got to talk to her because this is crazy.Please explain to people what these artifacts are and what's so bizarre about them.

I first saw these artifacts in the British Museum.So they have an entire whole wall full of them.And they're made of nephrite jade, which is an extremely hard stone.And they just look machined.way too precise for the tools that they say built them.So I started doing some research.

I haven't been to the site in China.It was built by the Lanzhou culture, so archaeologists say.But it's two different kinds of artifacts that are really famous.One is called a sung tube.which is a tall tube that's circular in the middle and square on the outside, and extremely precise geometry.The other one are these big round B -discs that almost look like a giant flat donut that are perfectly flat on top.

You know, there's the precision versions of these, just like you see all over the world, and there are versions that are much cruder.So it almost seems like this civilization had this.My theory is that unlike the hardstone vases in Egypt.So it was something that this culture either was gifted or found, and it turned into a very cherished object, like a grave good for them.So you find these tombs in Liangzhu, China, that have literally thousands of these jade artifacts in them.And it's not unlike the hard stone vases that you see in Egypt, where you find those in the grapes as well.

So what's the timeline where these pieces are attributed to?

So these are really old.I mean, the earthworks and the community around the Liangzhu culture is securely dated by archaeologists to like 3400 BC.And then, you know, just so it's about the same actually as the graves that were in Egypt with the hard stone bases.So it's very, very old.

And at the time of this culture, what were their tools?Like, do we know?

Well, the archaeologists say that it was made with strings.So they would take strings with sand or some sort of an abrasive, and they would cut the jade that way.And then they would use copper tools, stone hammers, those kinds of things to shape it.

So the explanation doesn't make a lot of sense.

And even the hole down the middle of the B -disk is a perfect, I mean, you can see the drill marks on the inside of the B -disk.Do we have some images of these things?Yes.Jamie, I have a China folder.

Because the images on, and by the way, that channel, Megalithic Marvels, Derek's channel, excellent.Really fun.

So great.

Great stuff.

Derek is the one that got me into all this.Shout out to Derek.Shout out to Derek.

This is, how do you say it?How do you pronounce that?B -disc.B -disc, B -I -disc.And how big is this?

So that thing's about nine inches.across.Perfectly circular, perfectly flat surface on the top.

Like measured to what tolerance?

You know, I don't know the answer to that.And I don't know that there have been a lot of deep scientific studies on the precision of these, right?The archaeologists assume that this culture made them with bamboos, you know, bamboo and strings.

Okay.

So yeah, that picture, Jamie, you can see the inside of the actual artifact in the bottom right.That's drilled, right?And the one on the left is an experiment these archaeologists ran with a bamboo core down the middle of the jade.And you can just you can see the difference between the two.

How far did they get down with the bamboo experiment?

Oh, all the way through.

They got all the way through.How long did that take?

I don't know the answer to that.There was an archaeologist that did an experiment in the 1930s, and they used these strings with the abrasives to cut off a piece of jade that was the size of a basketball.And it took them a week to cut the string all the way through that piece of jade.

So it was a long process.So the difference in the people that are listening, so there's the bamboo experiment where they drilled into something with a bamboo and cord and some, what else did they use?Like sand or something?

Yes, abrasives of some sort.

And so the difference is, if you look at the lines as it's drilling down, they're thick.and they don't look the same.If you look at the ones in the actual artifact, they're extremely tight.They're way smaller, and they're tighter to each other, and it doesn't make sense.Like, you look at that, you're like, that looks like a machine.

It does.And in this specific instance, it looks to me like the drill came from both directions, like they flipped it over and drilled from the top and then flipped it over again.and drilled from the bottom, and that's where it met in the middle.

Wow.So, what is, like, what's, out of all these different artifacts, what's the most puzzling one to you?

The sung tube.

Which is the one on the left -hand side there.Correct.

Yep.So that, you know, that is a, it's larger on top, smaller on the bottom, perfectly 90 -degree corners.It's got a round tube in the middle, but the artifact in general is square.So it's just a very complex shape to create with that level of precision.And nephrite jade is a very, very hard stone.So it would have taken, you know, this is a, people in my space talk about the Mohs scale of hardness, just as a way of saying diamonds are a 10, you know, different stone levels.

The hard stone disks, like diorite, that would be a six or seven.This is the same.It's that hard.

Wow.And so is the idea, well, I'm just assuming the idea is that there was a more sophisticated culture that probably existed predating that, and these are leftover artifacts.

It is only my opinion that that's the case.I haven't seen a lot of people talk about these artifacts at all.Jamie, if you go back to the picture you had just flashed on the screen, the reason I've developed this theory, so this is an image on the side of the largest Tseng tube.It's called the King of Jade Tseng.It's a 15 -pound artifact that was found.And you can see the raised stone, so it's the high relief carvings that were later etched over.

That etching has become very famous.If you look at photos of the museum in Liangzhou, this image is everywhere.And I think that this was an image that was used by the Liangzhu tribe as like the image of the king, basically.But I do believe that it was scratched over the top of an original, very interesting, high relief carving that you see in a lot of other artifacts.So I think that he basically found this.It's something that they maybe could not recreate, and then they kind of stamped their kingly symbol over the top of it.

It's common in Egypt as well that then particularly this theory among alternative historians because you look at the complexity of some of the Sarcophaguses and some of the different things that and then you see the writing on the outside, which looks like Cruder the the the writing is not as precise.The cutting is not as precise.There's a lot like chips to it It doesn't look like they use the same materials or the same utensils or tools yeah, and you know, the question is if you had the ability – there's the King of Jade song.

So if you had the ability to make an artifact in that kind of a shape, why would you not have also created the scratching over the top in that high -quality version?So why would you create the artifact like that and then just scratch over the top of it?

It doesn't make sense.Well, that's always been the case.History shows that people who are controlling a region will take credit for everything.They'll take credit for all the ancient stuff, too They put their name on it.They own everything.Yeah, you know and that's famous with pharaohs They did it with everything when this is documented.

We know that they wrote their name on things that they didn't create Yeah, Ramsey's the second was King selfie, you know He put his cartouche on everything.

Yeah, which is I mean, it sounds like what a dictator does It sounds like what a pharaoh doesdo.Yeah.It doesn't mean that they made it.And for us to just assume that they did, knowing that people in great power behave that way is kind of crazy.That's our map of history.

So how did you get down this road where you started looking at these objects and looking at the conventional historical timeline and say, something's wrong here?

specific to the Chinese artifacts?Yeah.

Or were you already on that path when you found the Chinese artifacts?

I've been on this path for a while.And, you know, the name of my channel is Secrets in Stone.And the reason I named it that is because I believe that the stones speak to you.They will show you exactly what the story is, right?So with these artifacts, just like the hard stone vases, it just is out of place.you know, it doesn't make any sense.

And especially in the British Museum, when you look at these with your own eyes, and then you read the story of how they believe that they were made, you know, it's just doesn't, it doesn't add up.And so all you have to do, you know, in any of these places is dig one or two levels down and you start to start to see a lot of inconsistencies.

One or two levels.So meaning that the older stuff is the more complex?

Yeah, or With the way that the archaeologists have interpreted a lot of these sites, there's a whole lot of assumptions that are made.You know, there's carbon dating that only goes partway down.You know, they'll dig partway down, they'll date it, it matches their story, and they write the report.They'll take inscriptions, you know, especially in Cambodia, places like that, where a king has written an inscription, and they'll say, yep, well, that king wrote on this, so this must have been made at this time.And there's really no further investigation.So it's become a theme with my work,

where I'll go somewhere, specifically with the megalithic architecture, you can, you can see exactly where the old architecture was built, oftentimes, it's the lowest level.And then you can see where other cultures have come later and built on top of it.And it just looks, it looks like a just a copy of what's underneath.It's like they were really trying to make what they saw, but they just couldn't.And so once you've kind of trained your eye for that, you go anywhere in the world and you see it.

How did you start looking at this stuff?

I went to Egypt four years ago and watched Ben Van Kerkwijk's videos.You know Ben.

Sure.

He's awesome.So I watched a couple of his videos on the way to Egypt.That was my first kind of introduction to this.And then it just became a bit of a obsession for me. I like to go to the sites around the world that other people don't really go to.So, you know, I think Egypt and Peru and Turkey, it's all in good hands, right?Ben's watching over Egypt.

We've got Brian Forrester down in Peru doing amazing work.The sites I go to are the sites that nobody else really visits.So I just got back from India a couple weeks ago.I spent a lot of time in Cambodia.I went to Thailand.And these are the sites that I think, if you're trying to make a case, or at least a strong enough case that people will consider, right, that there may be a different history than what we're being told, I think you have to have more than three examples.

So if you can start to do a lot of research on these sites all around the world, you can have thousands of examples of nubs, for example, or megalithic architecture that looks very similar.These walls that looksimilar all over the world.And in my mind, it makes a much stronger case for it than just continuing to look at the same sites over and over again.

Trevor Burrus It seems to me so much more likely that the timeline is incorrect than the historians are right and everyone else is just a conspiracy theorist weirdo.The more you look at it, the more The more questions I have, like that Kailasa temple in India, we've gone over that a few times, but Jamie pointed out something that they brought in about, was it like an army to try to destroy it?And they barely put a dent in the damn thing.And they stayed for a long time.They tried to smash it up and they couldn't do shit to it.And then you go, okay, well, how did they make this?

What did they – and I saw a really wild YouTube video the other day where this guy was proposing that they use lasers and that it was all laser carved and that they had some sort of like super sophisticated laser setup back then.That's why you're not finding all the stone.Well, you know Wait a minute.Look I think that's absolutely possible It sounds possible, but also so insane that we're so wrong about the linear timeline of human history That they had fucking lasers in India like how many thousands of years ago that they were using to carve an entire massive perfect temple out of rock You know, I was just down at the Hoysala temples, which are in southern India, and they have these lathe -turned pillars.

The pillars are feet across.They're huge.And you walk up to them, and you look at them closely, and you can see the lathe marks on them.And archaeologists concede that they're lathe -turned, but they don't concede that it's machined.So they basically say, well, maybe they were turned on a lathe.We'll give you that.

But that was probably human -powered or animal -powered.Oh my god.These are the lathe turned pillars in southern India.I was just looking at these with my own eyes a couple weeks ago.It's completely unexplainable.And to think of the size of the machine that would be required, say you turn that pillar sideways.

You connect it to a machine on each side and you start lathing.Jamie, I have a folder in my India pictures that has lots of evidence.So what you can see at sites like Hampi in India is you can see the evidence of lathing.So it almost looks like the setup that they would have used to carve these kinds of pillars.And it's just sitting in kind of far -flung corners of these sites.Nobody addresses what they are.

And so the evidence is everywhere of this.It's just not, you know, it's written off.It's like, well, that must have been an animal -powered lathe.You know, so I do think we have strong evidence for machining in ancient history.And in my mind, it doesn't have to be machines.You know, there could have been other ways that they were doing this that we don't even recognize.

So what is this that we're looking at?

So this is in, this is at the museum in Hampi in southern India.And that, to me, looks like the left.So it looks like where a pillar might have been placed.And the machine, the was spinning, you know, some sort of a lathing machine.So I think it's like the, you know, the other side of these pillars, basically, like the the end plates.

Yeah, exactly.Right.Okay.And so these pillars, how large are they?Can you Jamie, can you go to that image in the lower right hand corner, please?That one right there.

God, I can't get over how pretty that is.

They're so incredible in real life.

How tall are they?

Well,tall.I mean, my head would probably go halfway up that pillar.They're twice as tall as me.

So immensely heavy.And what kind of stone is it carved out of?

This is a chloritic schist, so it's called soapstone.God, it's so pretty.But there are lathe -turned pillars that are also granite.In southern India, it's a soapstone.So when it's quarried, it's a little bit softer, and then it hardens once it's out of the quarry.

Has anyone done an analysis of the geometry in these things?Like how precise it is?And how, like, I'm looking at it, if you go to that the one next to it, please, that one.Yeah, that one.When I'm looking at the precision of that, and how many different pieces there are, I would love to know how uniform those are.Because It looks insane.

That looks so beautiful.We're looking at, how do you say that word?Kopeshwar?Kopeshwar Mahadev?Is that how you say it?Mahadev?

God, that's pretty.

It's incredible.And, you know, these sites have crazy energy, too.You walk into them and you can tell that they were made with a lot of love.These pillars, you know, you can't help but touch them.

You're allowed to touch them?

Yeah, absolutely.

Look at that.Like, I would love to know what the precision of that is.

Yeah.

Because really, imagine if it's insanely precise, and then you have to explain that, too.Not just stone chisels and tools and stuff, but...

When you can see in the pillars, you can see where the lathe started at the bottom, and you can see where it stopped at the top.It's just running.And, you know, a lot of people are like, well, turn it sideways.Is that some sort of a... a sound wave, right?Is it mimicking, is it telling us something?

This episode is brought to you by Armra.Every week there's some new wellness hack that people swear by and after a while you start thinking, why do we think we can just outsmart our bodies?That's why Armra Colostrum caught my attention.It's something the body already recognizes and has hundreds of these specialized nutrients for gut stuff, immunity, metabolism, et cetera.I first noticed it working around training, especially workout recovery.Most stuff falls off, but I am still taking this.

If you want to try, Armra is offering my listeners 30 % off plus two free gifts.Go to armra .com slash Rogan.I'm glad you pointed that out.I've seen that too.Does that make sense?

I think so.Can I see that again, Jamie?Of how precise they are?Oh, here it goes.The pillars in Swarga Mandap of Khopeshwar temple are lathe -turned with extremely uniform circular and polygonal profiles.showing high geometric precision and tight alignment despite being carved from stone without mortar joints.

It says it resembles machine -turned work.Resembles?

Yeah.That's cute.Isn't it more likely?It's machine turned if it's exactly Pillars are laid out with consistent spacing in the circular hall so that the open oculus and the ceiling remains perfectly centered Suggesting careful radial planning and load distribution the temple uses interlocking stone and gravity rather than mortar So the precise fit of the pillars into bases and beams is critical to stability and is cited as an example of advanced medieval Indian stone engineering One thing that's interesting when you go to these temples is you can see where they have moved these pillars into the temple.

So the core of most of these temples, in my opinion, is the original megalithic part of these temples, the oldest stuff.But you can see where these pillars have been moved into new temples.And so you'll see these crazy, precise, dark stones.

This is a rotating pillar.

What?I think it used to rotate.It does not anymore.I actually saw that pillar.

When did it stop?

I don't know.Maybe that's just a myth.I have no idea.But you can see where they moved these pillars from original temples or maybe, who knows, maybe they found a workshop somewhere with these.And they put them in the center of the newer temples.not precise at all, very crude stonework above and below them.

And then they have this perfect lathe pillar right in the middle.

So what is the timeline that they attribute to the construction of these?

Oh, you know, 1200 to 1500 AD.

And why do they say that?

Because the kings that ruled during that time period wrote inscriptions on the pillars in a lot of instances, on the sides of the temples, things like that.

Yeah.

It's all inscriptional evidence.

I would need more evidence, you know?

Right.What's really interesting, I've done a lot of research in Cambodia, and they date all of their all of their temples based on inscriptions.And when you actually run these inscriptions through AI and you translate them, they've all been translated from Sanskrit to French.I then translated it from French to English.And when you read what the kings actually wrote, very seldom do they say, I king so -and -so built this.What they say is, I installed a lingam.

I brought a statue to this temple.And so the archaeologists make a fairly big jump between what the kings actually wrote and saying, well, this king must have built this.So in a lot of instances, they're actually putting words into their mouths.

Wow.So what is your belief in terms of the timeline of the construction of these things?

I mean, in the oldest instances, I personally believe that it's pre -flood, so more than 12 ,000 years ago.I think there are some that are probably older.Peru is, I just got back from Peru a couple of months ago.That's fully unexplainable.You've talked about Peru on your show many times.Egypt is incredibly ancient.

I actually believe that India is one of the most ancient places on earth.And were they different civilizations building there?What they built suggests that it probably was.Were they in contact with each other?I believe they were.You know, there's enough similarities around the world that it feels like there was a communication network between them.

But when you look at the actual building styles between, take those three examples, India, Egypt, and Peru, they're completely different, right?Egypt is very, just blocks very few decorations, especially in places like the Osirion.It doesn't, it's just, It almost looks, it's like clinical, you know.But then you're in Peru and it's playful.There are these big pillowy blocks.And then you go to India and there's carvings all over everything.

Right.And so I do believe that there are certain places in this world that are substantially older.And I believe that for thousands of years, civilizations have been they're attracted to these places.And they build on top of them and they settle there.And so you just see generation after generation after generation of building on top of them.

Well, it makes sense when you think about Kailasa, because look how perfect it is now.And this is thousands of years after they attributed to being built or at least a thousand years.And it looks like there's been zero erosion.Now, add a few thousand years to that, it's going to look exactly the same.And if you're just generation after generation not knowing who built it, and you get a version of, you know, this king said he did it, or this guy said he did it.Add a few thousand years and it's fucking guesswork.

100%.And to have archaeologists shift through dirt and find an inscription somewhere and go, oh, we nailed it.God, that's such a disservice to what the complexity of the mystery of what we're looking at is Yeah, like just the Kylossa one is I am obsessed with that place.I've watched like four or five documentaries on it and See and we went over it on the podcast the other day with the CEO of perplexity.It's like it's fucking bananas Yeah, it's so crazy how precise in one mistake and you're fucked but yet it's all geometrically aligned They have no idea what they did with all the stone?

That's the big question, right?

That seems so crazy.

They removed an entire cliffside mountain, and they carved it from the top down.

Yeah, and put it where?What'd you do with it all?Good question.That's so much rock.That's not a little bit of rock.You would think there'd be some laying around.

Yeah.

Even after thousands of years, you'd have like a pile somewhere.Like, fuck it.Anybody want some free stone?It's over there.No one's going to take all the stone.You have fucking millions and millions of tons of stone.

Like, that's crazy.Yeah.What'd you do with it?

You know what I wonder?I wonder.I do feel for archaeologists, right?I mean, they go to a site and they're like, gosh, maybe this feels a little older.But the only evidence I have are pot sherds that I can date.I can dig down and I can find cultural layers.

of cultures that, in my opinion, lived there afterwards, they're dating that, and they see inscriptions.And that's the evidence.that they have to make their case.But I do wonder how many of them are looking at these sites and saying, yeah, this actually doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

A lot of the young ones.I would think so.I've talked to them.I've talked to them.I think this is the hierarchical structure.what's the word, hierarchy, the structure of academics in terms of these guys that are teaching university courses and giving out PhDs and writing books.

And they have a vast body of work that's all about the timeline, all about what they know, and they are the gatekeepers of information.And there's a lot of ego involved with academics.I'm sure you know that.And they get really shitty with each other.And they're vicious.They're vicious when they attack each other, even if they're wrong.

Like the whole Clovis first thing was the best example of that.The gentleman who proposed this theory that there were people here older than the Clovis people was destroyed by his own peers.And it took years before it was proven that he was correct.And not only was he correct, but he was correct by like ten over 10 ,000 years.Now they're pushing it past 22 ,000 years ago because of the footprints they found in White Sands, New Mexico.Right.

The peopling of the Americans.

Yes.So humans have been here a long, long, long time.And this is just indicative of this pattern that happens whenever anybody comes up with any sort of an alternative theory that doesn't come from the gated halls of academia.They're just dismissed.But academics, I've only been around for a few hundred years.We have to stop and think about how crazy it is that we've put the power in these people that we know are not always accurate, nor are they compromised, and they have ego problems.

And they have this structure of the people at the top that are giving out grants and giving out funding and giving PhDs and reading people's dissertations.It's very social and it's very complex and to deviate from the narrative is devastating for your career.If they can destroy the guy who proposed that Clovis First was incorrect, that guy was an academic.established.Imagine if you're a fucking PhD student and you're like, I think you guys are wrong.Well, you're fucked forever.

You know, I used to work in corporate America and there were a lot of things that I thought that I absolutely never said.Right.So if you think about these young archaeologists, even if they see something and they think, gosh, I wish that I could dive into that and really explore how old this is, they're going to get shut down immediately.And their self -preservation mechanisms are going to kick in because they've got a paycheck.You know, you have to sympathize with the situation that they're in.

Oh, I do.I completely do.We've all worked for shitty bosses.It's a terrible position to be in.And especially if your shitty boss is in charge of the distribution of information about the history of the human race.That is crazy.

That is crazy to get ego involved in that.

I know.

Because when you see like the attacks on guys like Graham Hancock and all these people that Propose that this data that we should look at that's just that like there's there's a bunch of data that confounds The timeline like it it fucks it completely up Yeah, when but go back Lee Tepe came along and then everybody was like, okay, we're in a we have a problem We have an 11 ,000 plus year old structure for sure.It was purposely buried 11 ,000 plus years ago.So how old is it?It's at least 11 ,000 years old that doesn't make any sense because timeline of civilization supposed to be 6 ,000 years ago.So now we have immense stone structures with 3D carvings that are in concentric circles that's 5 ,000 years older than that.Okay, these are hunter and gatherers.

They were just assholes that in their spare time from killing antelopes, they decided they were goingbuild immense structures on top of a hill.

Well, don't you find it interesting that the dating of Gobekli Tepe has not opened the door to redating other sites around the world?So when you talk about the stuff in Egypt, nobody's really open to saying, maybe this is 10 ,000 years old.Should we look again?

Right.

You know, that story has been written.There's been a period on it and it's been put to bed.

Not only that, there's actual geological evidence.And this is where Robert Schock came into play.You know, I have had him on the podcast before and I remember watching that documentary on the mysteries of the Sphinx.And he proposed that there's water erosion on the outside of the Temple of the Sphinx.And he he's taken photos of that erosion and brought it to other geologists and said, what do you think this is?And they said, well, that's water erosion.

And he shows them where it came from, and they're like, I don't want to have nothing to do with this.Yeah.Just kidding.It's the wind.Which is crazy.Which is crazy.

Imagine the timeline of human history is so controversial that you're worried that it would ruin your career if you spoke accurately about your field of expertise, which is erosion and geology.due to rainfall, thousands of years of rainfall.Well, thousands of years of rainfall means, at the very least, the Sphinx is 9 ,000 years old.At the very least.But that's probably way older than that, because you have to have thousands of years of rainfall from the time that it was constructed to make these kind of deep fissures into the stone.

And it was buried for much of its recent history, which means there was not erosion taking place the entire time it was buried.

The whole thing's nuts.And the wind and sand erosion, that's an argument against that, right?Because it was covered in sand.And, you know, if there was rain erosion like they're proposing, it had to have been when there was rainfall, significant rainfall in the Nile Valley.And that's way back 9000 years ago.A long time ago.

Yep.

And, you know, I guess it'sit breaks my heart a little bit that this conversation gets shut down.Because if you think about, think about 23andMe.The number of people that have subscriptions to websites like that because they are extremely interested in where they came from.And it opens up their world when they can see four generations back.It gives them, you know, people that belong to these subscription services will say, I finally have a sense of belonging.

I kind of feel like I know where I came from.We as a humanity imagine if we actually knew where we came from.I think we would feel a lot less lost.

I don't think it's sad.I think it's funny.I think it's just another example of just how funny people are.We're so weird.We're so full of shit.And we're just so filled with this desire to be correct and to enforce our narrative that we do it even with facts that are really significantly important for the entire world.

And I think it's funny because it doesn't work.Because it's only opened the door to people like you, and people like Derek, and people like Graham Hancock, and Ben Van Quirkwick, and Jimmy Corsetti, and all these people that Luke Caverns.They just spend enormous amounts of time making this incredible content.Like all the stuff that Luke has done in the Americas, in South America.Good Lord, there's so many mysteries.Explain away Sacsayhuaman.

Explain away those stones.Help me out.Help me out how people with no steel and no heavy machinery move these things into position, move these 20 foot tall, immense stones that are cut like jigsaw puzzles.It looks like they were melted into place.

Yeah.It looks like a melted marshmallow stacked on top of a melted marshmallow.

It's literally bananas.It makes crazy.No sense.And then you have the weirdness of these elongated heads that they find.down there, these skulls, that are absolutely real skulls.These are not hoaxes.

They have a 30, 20 to 30 percent larger brain capacity in the skull.

I have personally seen elongated skulls in four different countries.

And it's not the same as skulls that were manipulated to be flattened.That's what's different.So when people think about this, there's a very well -known practice where they would take boards and put them on children's heads to elongate their heads.The question is, why were they doing that?And were they trying to emulate something that existed, another type of person that was here?Well, it seems like it.

And it seems like these skulls that they find, particularly in Peru, the bones are larger, it's a larger face, and they have a larger brain capacity, and they don't have that sagittal ridge, that sagittal suture that's down the middle.So they're literally a different kind of skull.It's clearly human, or some form of human, but it has more brain volume, and it's built different than us.And everybody's like, I don't see anything.They're not like, hey, maybe there was a completely different species of human that existed along with just like Denisovans, just like Neanderthals, just like all these new ones that they keep finding fairly recently.Like the one they found in China, the big headed man, what was it?

What was that one called again?Juliens, Homo Juliens?This is like really recent like a few years ago.They found this like okay.We don't have the picture guys.We just don't we don't have the full We don't have all the data and when you have these fucking big skulls, and you're not even bringing that up It makes me think like are you afraid to look at this because then you have to admit that you really didn't know this and you were walking around saying you're an expert and

the human timeline?

Imagine some of the capabilities of these people with that much more brain volume.Could they speak telepathically?Could they move stones with their minds, with sound?We don't know what they were able to do.If you just unlock an additional 10 % of your brain capacity, Joe Rogan's brain capacity, all of the connections you would make.Think about all of the things you could do that you can't do now.

And now expand your brain volume by 30 percent, exactly like the movie Limitless.

The Bradley Cooper movie, remember?Yes.Yeah, and he kept the same size head.

Or the movie Lucy with Scarlett Johansson, right?That's the best one.Just unlocking her full brain, and suddenly she was moving things with her mind, right?Were these people able to do things that regular humans couldn't?And that's why they were emulated throughout history with cradle headboarding.They were the elite.

They were maybe building some of these structures, who knows.And if you are just an average Joe in that community, you want to look like them, right?All of us do it.

Especially the elites of the time.especially the humans that were the kings and the pharaohs and all these different people.They wanted to have those heads.It sounds like we're crazy people, right?If I just tuned into this, it'd be like, oh great, another one of those retarded Joe Rogan shows where he's talking to crazy people.But then you see that, Jamie, pull up some of the images of those skulls.

I know we've shown them a million times.

Jamie, I have a folder with skulls.I can show you some really interesting ones from England that are on small bodies.So they almost look like fairies.And they have these giant skulls on these very small bodies.And it does make you think that probably had something to do with the mythology of fairies in England.This was at Avebury, which is one of the big stone circles.

When you walk into the museum there, there are these amazing anomalouselongated skulls on these very tiny little bodies.

Whoa.

The other interesting thing about elongated skulls...

Are they children?

I don't think so.No.There's a woman named Maria Whitley who writes all about these skulls that she found, that have been found all over England.That's Egypt.Yeah, there it is.Yeah, so this is England.

This is one of the skulls, but this skull is very small.But if you look at the shape of it, their ears are in a different spot.They have huge eye sockets.I have another photo where there's one still attached to a small body.

Look at the size of that head.

Isn't that interesting?

That's crazy.

Now, this one may have been a child.I don't remember specifically which of these skulls.

Even if it was a kid, that kid's going to be a football player.

He already has a helmet.

A kid has a giant head.But it doesn't look right.It doesn't look right.It doesn't look right.I have babies.They don't have heads that big.

That's crazy.Even when a baby's got a big head, when they're little and they can barely hold their head up, it doesn't look like that.Little bobble heads.That's crazy.

Another really interesting...Look how far...

I'm sorry, but look how far it goes behind the spine.

And look how flat it is at the bottom and the back.

Yeah.

I mean, imagine holding that head up.

Well, that's the other weird thing about these elongated skulls.The part of the skull where it connects to the spine is in a different place.

Yes.Which makes sense.Otherwise, you know, you'd.

Yeah.I guess you'd probably your head would fall backwards like look at these look at these that don't have that sagittal suture That one that's closest to us.That is crazy.

Yeah, so that one's in Peru I saw that one a couple months ago.It looks completely different than the skull right behind it, right?

It's like a different kind of person Yes, interestingly in a lot of they have like one on the side and they don't have the one down the middle Yeah

There's another one that's labeled Malta.And you can see the view of it from the top, and you can see how it looks completely different than any of the other.So here's an interesting thing that I'm not sure you've talked much about, Joe.Brain surgery?The holes in the back of these skulls, it's trepanation.Yeah.

So it was a surgery that they see evidence of in lots and lots of ancient skulls.And the question becomes, so if you don't have a sagittal suture, And your brain, you know, we have the, our brain will fuse, right, as we grow.

Sorry, but look at that, what it looks like.It looks like they use drills.Yeah.Doesn't it?And they just drill a circle around that dude's head?

In a lot of instances, these people survived these surgeries.The question becomes, why were they doing it?

Well, look at that top one.Scoop out some brain, bro.That's crazy.Maybe they were trying to relieve pressure.

Well, if your brain doesn't have all of the sutures that ours does, and your brain is fusing, there are some theories that suggest that these people were losing their connection with consciousness.So because their brains were so big, a lot of telepathy and things like that.So if you cut a hole in a fused skull, you still have access, right?It allows you, I guess, more space in your skull to access what you used to access.

So it's like relieving pressure in some way?This is the idea, why they're doing this trepanation?We had a woman on who did trepanation to herself.

Oh my gosh, I've read about her.

Yeah.Is she still alive, Jamie?

But she did it for - They were doing lobotomy until pretty recently.I know, right?They're like, what this is?

Yeah, right?We knew better.Is she still alive, Jamie?I think she might have passed recently.

And her motivation for that, was it not -consciousness?

Yes.

Yeah.

She was out there.But isn't it interesting?Lovely lady, lovely lady, but whoo, she was out there.

Yeah.

I haven't seen that episode.That lady had been on some trips.She had been to other dimensions many, many, many, many times.She passed away about a year ago.Yeah.She was a sweet lady, too.

She was so kind.

It begs the question, what was the motivation for doing that in these ancient examples?

She described it in very glowing terms, the experience of trepanation.She did it to herself.So this is a photo of her.Isn't that like, is there a video of her doing it?I know there's photos of the actual procedure for drilling a hole in her head like, yo.

It must be quite a sense of relief, though.

I don't know.

Your brain's no longer locked in your skull.

I mean, is that really what it is?I don't want to find out.But I mean, I know people that have had to have brain surgery because they had brain bleeding.Yeah, there it is.Oh my gosh.They just drilled a hole.

It looks like they use a stick.What the hell?

I think she did it.

What is she using?Is she doing it to herself?Yes.

No.

It's the only way.If you really want to achieve one with chakras or some shit.

You're probably not going to get a doctor to sign up for that.

Jamie, can you find, there's some images of those elongated skulls.There's a few really spectacular ones that we pulled up the other day.And one of them is like the, the, The sagittal suture is completely missing.And it's so big.And you're looking at it like, OK, this is a real skull in a museum.Like, help me out.

Help me out, anatomy experts.Why does it not have the features of a normal human skull?And why is it so big?Like, this seems completely insane.Shut it, AI.That's a bunch of bullshit archaeologists got into AI and wrote some bad articles.

When I saw that one with the little kid or the small kid.with the big back of the dome, aren't there, or could that be explained by just like a random anomaly?Yeah, for sure.

Yeah, it depends on how many there are.But go to the images of those skulls so we could see the crazy one.

Google just changed and there's no longer...

They don't like you anymore.

No, like the whole website has changed.They hate you.I noticed it yesterday.

You can't oh, yeah, that is we're being sabotage Oh because they're trying to get you to use AI.

It's all gone.

Oh, that's so gross.Just write images Yeah, see now now they'll show you okay, so it's the one on the far left upper corner.It's right below it Sorry, there you go.That's it.That's the one look at the eyes Yeah, the whole thing is nuts that the fact that that is a real skull it should freak everyone out That no one is, that this isn't in the front page of the New York Times, that this isn't something that everyone's investigating.Like this is not a physical anomaly.

This is a completely different skull.That's not a regular human skull at all.The capacity is so much larger.You cannot explain that by headboarding.You cannot explain the size of the fucking eye sockets.

It's crazy.

You imagine looking into something.Who's that one lady that has crazy big eyes?She's an actress.You know I'm talking about Jamie.She's really pretty She's got big giant eyes out of their head.I've seen that too But that's but they're not that big the point is like those eyes would be fucking Enormous like if that person was in front of you And they had skin on with those eye sockets and that head you'd be like yo You know I want you to meet my friend Mike They'd be like what the fuck that is not what it looks like that that drawing that drawing is way too normal That head's way bigger than that, too, by the way.

And the eyes are nothing like it.

They're not even in the same place.Those eyes are in a different place.Those eyes are in a nutty place.

I mean, that image on the right, the woman, that'sbe what they looked like if they were cradle head born.

Yes.And her face looks flattened, too.Like the whole thing looks, which is such a gross thing that they did to try to emulate these people.

Imagine tying a baby up on a board and telling it to stay.

Look at that one.Look at that one to the left, Jamie, left right below that.Yeah, that one.Look at that one.What the hell is that?

With the trepanation.

Yeah.But help me out.Tell me that's a person.Help me out.That is not just an elongated skull.That's crazy.

That's not.

I wonder if that's a real photo.Well, almost a potential plaster even.

I don't think I've seen that one before.

People can make this stuff.

That is true.That is true.People can make it.

Rocky Mountain Sasquatch Organization.

Well, that's a reputable source.They are the best Sasquatch organization out there.

I try not to judge all of those.I'm just clicking the photo.

They have all the real information.There's a lot of misinformation in the Sasquatch community.

Oh, yes.But that is the only place that shows up.

There's got to be other ones well that that one in the middle and the top on the left Yeah, right there click on that those three like that almost yeah, it's still the same one That's all the same one are these from different angles.Yeah, well the one in the middle looks different than the one on the left Definitely look at the recreation below though at least his eyes are big.He looked like okay.That's a good one That's a good, that's a good representation with those people.Tell me that dude can't read your mind.A hundred percent.

The dude in the last, he comes up to you with those beads on.I'll do whatever you say.And you're like, okay, I guess we're communicating with the mothership.

Yeah.Like, look at the size of his head.

Please go back to that image again.Is that real?

Yeah.And most of the hair on these elongated skulls is red.

Oh, that's so wild.That's so crazy.Go back to that last image, please, where you see the dude.Like that guy, imagine running into that guy at a Mayan temple.You'd be like, oh, Christ.they're real Like that's a different kind of person like that seems the eyes are fucking massive That seems like a totally different kind of person.

Yes, you know has very different abilities than the average human Yes, I mean if the brain is what differentiates us from all the other intelligent animals on this planet.And a human, it looks just like a human but different, has a brain that much bigger than ours.What is that?That's a real thing, folks.We're not making this up.These fucking skulls are real.

That's crazy.That is crazy.There was a person like that.

The only museum I've been to in the world that has any sign that indicates it may have been alien is Malta.When you walk into the museum in Malta, it actually has a poster that talks about the lack of the sagittal suture.It has a picture of an alien on it.

Really?

And they leave their skulls out.A lot of these museums, especially the ones in southern Peru, they've sort of tucked them away.They've put them in dark cases so it's harder to take pictures of them.They're not out there in the open where it's easy to pop around each side of it.

They're probably worried about them getting stolen too.There's an issue that I've been informed about with ancient artifacts, that there's a whole underground market where really wealthy people want to buy Egyptian artifacts.And there's a lot of scandals involved with a lot of these people that are in charge of these artifacts, where artifacts go missing and people get rich.And they sell books that nobody buys, and all of a sudden they have a mansion.Yeah.

And if you're on a government salary and you can slip one of these vases away and sell it, you're going to make a lot more money than you're going to make working for the government.

Not just vases, but even skeletons.There's evidence of skeletons.going missing.Skeletons they found in a sarcophagus.And then all of a sudden they said, nope, there's no skeleton.And then there's clearly documentation that they found a skeleton that leads back decades ago.

And today they're saying, no, no skeletons.Like, where's the skeleton?

Nothing to see here.

Yeah.And some of – that's the weird thing is like some of these skulls that they find, if you could find the entire skeleton, you would imagine that is a very big person.These are not normal -sized people.Like whatever the structure that's – unless they have an enormous head and a little tiny body, if they have a proportionate head to their body, you're looking at a seven, eight -foot tall person.This is a huge head.

Yeah, and there's giant lore all over the world in every ancient civilization.

And in the fucking Bible.

I don't believe that that's imaginary.And I don't believe it's myths.I think that it's remembering.

Yeah, I think it is too.I think there's probably a different version of people that existed.And I think the real problem is we're dealing with the fossil record.And the reality of biological life is neither you nor I is very likely to leave behind a fossil.So a thousand years from now, No one's going to know who you were, and no one's going to know who I was, and they're not going to be able to tell from our bones.You're not going to find them.

They're going to be absorbed by the ground, and that's a wrap.And in order to get a fossil, a very specific set of circumstances has to take place.And so we're lucky that we have some skulls.We're lucky, and there's 1 ,000 years old, 2 ,000 years old, however old they are.But you get back to 10, 11, 12 ,000 years ago, 15 ,000 years ago, 50 ,000 years ago, good luck.

There's nothing left.

Good luck.Unless you're finding it in the permafrost, like in Alaska, like my friend John Reeves, he has that place, the Boneyard in Alaska.He's the best.

That's so cool.

Love that place.crazy Have you been no, he keeps trying to get me to go out there and I will eventually I promise but the spot is Absolutely bananas.He's finding all kinds of insane things out there including animals that aren't even supposed to have existed in that area So they're rewriting the idea of like what was alive and like what animals were alive different cats and different bears Yeah Like, we don't know that much.We're basing, like, think about all we know about the dinosaurs.It's amazing how much work they've done.It's amazing how many dinosaurs they've documented.

But if you look at the amount of dinosaurs that actually lived over the hundreds of millions of years, hundreds of millions of years the dinosaurs roamed the earth, there's a tiny, tiny, tiny fraction, a tiny fraction.of these dinosaurs that we find that are fossilized.Most of them are gone forever, including who knows how many species that we're completely unaware of.We have no evidence of whatsoever.Now think about an intelligent species that probably buried their dead like we do, or maybe even burned them.You know, we don't know what they did.

Or, you know, maybe they were even more enlightened.They did the Tibetan sky funeral where they let themselves get eaten by vultures.You're not going to find anything.

Right.No, you're you're absolutely right.It feels like people should be just maybe a little bit more open to our past.

I think people are.I think the problem is some of these and I say some it's only some of these academics.

Yeah.

There's a lot of people that are deviating from that now and again.It's a lot of young people you know like guys like Michael Button.Do you know who he is?Yeah.He's great.He went to school got a degree and was like I think there's more to this and I think I could do a better job doing a YouTube channel where I just research these things thoroughly and provide you with a very balanced perspective on how how crazy all this stuff is and how none of this really makes sense if you use the conventional timeline.

Yep.And people are hungry for that information.

Yeah, I am.I'm obsessed.

Thank goodness that the internet has democratized it so people like me can get on there and put a video on and just see what people think.

And you really learn a lot when you see people like you get attacked.And people like Jimmy Corsetti and all these people, they go after people so hard.And they always take the same line.It's always racism.It's racism, exactly.

That's what I was going to say.

Which is so crazy because no one's attributing the Indian temples to anything other than Indians.It's not racist.It's just saying, I'm saying Indians from like a long ass time ago.It's the same people.

It's something to be even more proud of.

Yes.Yeah, it's crazy.Like no one is saying that the people in Peru, humans in Peru, didn't make that stuff.No one.No one's saying that.Right.

That's exactly what we're saying.Yep.What we're saying is probably the people in Peru were incredibly sophisticated before the flood.

Yeah.

That's probably what it was.

Egypt, it doesn't make any sense that they're shutting that down.To extend your timeline, if you're able to, to 20 ,000 years ago, that's twice as much to be proud of.Right.

Right.But it's just the academics who have like firmly family stamp, 2 ,500 BC, bam, this is what we know and we're going to stick with it.Despite all the hard evidence, like the geological evidence, disputing that is really weird.Because like, look guys, rain does a very specific thing to stone over thousands of years.This is hard evidence.

Right there.Yeah.

And you don't really know when it was built.You're just guessing.But this isn't really much of a guess.This is actual evidence.Yeah.And for them to not even consider that and to just dispense them.

And it's just lucky that guys like Robert Chalk had tenure and lucky also that he wasn't an archaeologist.He's a geologist.And what are they going to fault him for his methods the way he did it.What he said.No you can't really because it's pretty rock solid.

We should be leaning on these geologists and saying what do you see and then informing ourtheories based on what they're saying.

Yeah.

Not the other way around.

Ben Van Kerkhoek has done amazing work on some of the erosion that's around some of the the pyramids and some of the bases of some of the structures around the pyramid, and that it seems like there's many levels of construction, and that the oldest, oldest stuff has a preposterous amount of erosion, like insane amount of erosion.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

Yep.I mean, even in – so I've spent a lot of time researching Cambodia.If you look at, so there are eight different pyramids in the Media -Ankerwad area.And these pyramids are massive.And when you walk up to them, you can see how incredibly ancient they are.And the dating on these pyramids are, you know, 900 A .

D.to 1300 A .D.So not very old, the official dating.But when you stare at the stones, you can see the same thing you see in Egypt.You see just ancient ancient weathering patterns down the sides of them, you can see how the whole site has been rebuilt.

And they don't talk about it.Right.So the entire history of Cambodia, nobody, nobody is open at all to exploring that it might be older than 800 AD.

Let's look at some photos of Angkor Wat, because it's another incredibly bizarre place.And when people use the conventional timeline to date it, it's not, it's amazing and it's beautiful, but it's not as crazy when you really, if, if, if you take into consideration that no one really knows when it was built and the possibility that it's actually 11 ,000 years old, 12 ,000 years old, maybe even older, it almost kind of makes sense.

Have you done it?

It would look just like that.

Yeah.And the, the, temples or the towers inside the core of Angkor Wat, in my personal opinion, the core of AngkorWat, it's got three different layers.The core, I think, is extremely old.It's got these five central towers.They look almost melted.

So you can see the five in the middle.As you move out by each layer, all of the iconography in Angkor Wat changes.So in the center, it's all of Have you ever discussed the LIDAR findings around Angkor Wat?

I have not.

Jamie, I have some photos in my Cambodia folder.

I'm trying to dance the line of looking at these before I switch over to your stuff.

God, look how beautiful that is.Look how the tree's roots grow all around it.

Cambodia is one of the most special places on this earth.

Imagine what that was like during its prime.

That's the Bayon Temple, the temple with 218 faces.Wow.Enormous faces.

So are those is that like those are clearly different stones brought in yeah, they're individual stones to compare to the other stuff We've seen where it's right.

Yeah, very different.Yep, very different kind of construction.Yeah Spectacular, but maybe makes more sense in to then like Kailasa in 2012.

That's a great photo In 2012 they did a LiDAR survey in Cambodia and what they discovered in Cambodia was completely shocked the world.So you can see, look, Angkor Wat in this photo is right in the middle of that giant moat.There were huge mound fields all overAngkor Wat inside this moat and outside of Angkor Wat.And then if you go south of it, you can see these giant spiral embankments.If you just zoom out a tiny bit, Jamie, do you see those spirals in the bottom left side of the screen?

Mm -hmm.

Those are from one side to the other.They're a mile long.Yeah, so these are the geometric features at Angkor Wat.

And these are hidden from the naked eye?

Yes, they're under the jungle canopy.Nobody knew that these were there until 2012 when the LiDAR results came out.

Holy shit.

There are mound fields that are a mile.This particular mound field is a mile long.It's a 10 by 10 mound field.And these mounds are enormous.They're like 30 feet across.And there's no explanation at all for what these are.

And they didn't even know they existed.

They didn't even know they existed.So this is Angkor Wat from the air.Very, very interesting.That western beret where you see, that's a man -made, it's the largest hand -cut reservoir on Earth.It's eight kilometers long and two kilometers wide.So you can see the old Siem Reap International Airport just south of it.

That's the size of this thing.It is enormous.The official archeological story of these berets is that they were hand -dug and that they were used to water rice.There's one on the left side, that's the Western Bureau.There's an equally large one on the east side.So there are two of them that are eight kilometers long on each side, two kilometers wide.

Just an enormous volume of dirt would have had to have been removed to create these.And there's no discussion at all about what they were for, how they were made.They're just attributed to different kings based on inscriptions andin the corners of these sites.So if you want to talk about mysteries, in my humble opinion, Cambodia is one of the most mysterious places on earth.

What did they, how old do they think this reservoir is?

Like 900 AD.So not old at all.And there's no explanation for how it was done.Just to excavate the Western Beret is the equivalent of 53 Giza -sized pyramids of dirt moved out of it.So this is it today.You can see there's a temple in the middle of it.

That's so big.That's so crazy that they supposedly dug that out by hand.

You can see this from space.NASA's taking photos of it before.There's no explanation for what they were doing there.

What is the images of the pyramids up in the corner?That's the amount.Yeah.

That's the equivalent.So 138 million cubic meters of dirt to dig that out.

How deep is it?

It's, you know, five or 10 meters deep.And I I believe that they you know, they dug out the inside and then they built these large walls You know retaining walls on the outside.So I don't think that there's huge piles of dirt somewhere I think that's you know, it was just deepened and then they built the walls around them to retain them, but there's a lot of really Interesting complex things going on with these berets.

This reminds me of I'd had perplexity dig up something on the Kaliasa temple Yeah, I was it was just going into like is the ability to of what, do you know how many people they thought made it?I guess I'll ask you that first.Do you know how they, the conventional method?They said 250 people made it over five and a half years.Sure, sounds good.Those dudes it started to tell me like that's kind of like, okay But then it started getting like actually the hardest part with this is gonna be removing all of that rock Yeah, like we're not they couldn't that didn't say like where is it?

But it just was going into the math.This is all the perplexity did it's all this math on This is Kailasa.Yeah.

The amount of stone that can be removed every day.

And it just would have taken, it is even, 250 people is a fourth of the potential, the number they tried to destroy it with for three years.And it has the same tools, I guess.They just said they had some sort of metal.This says five and a half years.

They tried to destroy it for three years and then they just quit.

Really frustrating three years.

A thousand guys tried to destroy it for three years.You imagine that?That is crazy.

Even if it was a hundred and it's just exaggerated, you know.Right.They couldn't do anything.

That's really crazy.

Chipped off some nose.

You know how mad that king was?He's like, just destroy it.

Imagine what a dick he must have been.

Oh, yeah.

To want to destroy that.That's the problem with kings.

It's the problem with kings.

Good Lord, that's wild.

So, yeah, Cambodia is incredibly mysterious and nobody talks about Cambodia.

Would you like some coffee?

Sure.Thank you.

So how'd you get involved in Cambodia?How'd you, uh, what was the first thing that you looked at?

I went there for the first time three years ago.Um, it was a quick stopover.We were getting ready to, uh, hike the Sandong cave in Vietnam, you know, the largest cave in the world.

I saw that on 60 minutes.

Yeah.So we, we had that trip planned and I said, well, Cambodia is right next door.Maybe we should just pop over there for a week.So we did.And, uh, And, you know, walking on these sites, it's the same thing I was talking about earlier.I like to hire local guides just to hear.

what's the story.that they're telling you what is the official history.And the story that they told me just, it doesn't match what you see with your own eyes, right?So they say that the earliest civilizations, they're built in brick, and then they built with stone.Over time, they developed the ability to build with stone.But all of the brick is on top of the stone.

It's on top of these massive pyramids, right?So it doesn't make sense that the oldest stuff is at the top.So I started sort of questioning the history of Cambodia.I got into these LiDAR results, which are really fascinating.I mean, they discovered entire unknown cities in Cambodia with LiDAR.So on top of the Kulin Mountains, which is the plateau where they quarry all of the stone for Angkor Wat, all the sandstone, there was an entire massive city on top of that plateau that they had no idea was there.

There were pyramids, there were 2 ,000 acre reservoirs, there were mound fields, there were, you know, massive causeways, and it was all just hidden under the trees, the jungle.So it's, you know, in 2012, sort of the cat was out of the bag in Cambodia.And what's interesting is it should have made international headlines.You know, these spiral embankments that are a mile long on the south side of Angkor Wat, nobody knows what they are.Nobody has a good explanation for what they are.Archaeologists say, you know, maybe it was a garden feature.

Maybe it was fishing.And in my mind, you don't build mile -long earthen embankments in a shape of a perfect spiral, unless you have a very specific reason for doing that.

What do you think that reason was?

I don't know.I, you know, I'm starting to put together a theory about, I think it all had to do with water.They were going to buildchanneling water down from the Kulin Mountains, which is about 50 miles away from Angkor Wat.They were channeling water down, building 16 kilometer diversion channels, taking the water way out of the way, running them through mound fields into these giant reservoirs.All of these reservoirs have pyramids connected to them.

And it's one system after another of reservoirs with temples in the middle, pyramids connected to the outside.It feels like a massive industrial undertaking.And I've gone back and forth, does it have to do with energy?Possibly.I personally think it had something to do with how they were treating the water, like if they could get it structured, maybe, right, so that it was better for plants, better for people, better for animals, better for consciousness.There was a massive undertaking happening there that just isn't addressed at all by archaeologists.

Nobody's tying together these different systems and saying, gosh, that was a monumental undertaking.I wonder what they were doing that for.It's all just rice farming is the official story.

Can you show me that LIDAR image again?

I'm looking for more.I keep running into just the scientific papers about it.

They have the LiDAR images locked away.

Yeah, they've done a bunch of studies on this, and there's some cool photos, but I'm trying to find, like, you know...

Can you go back to the ones that we were just looking at, though, that she provided?Because I want to see the patterns.Yes.Yeah, that.Okay, that.Perfect.

Like, so, those features are weird.That's really weird.

They're huge.They're a mile long and half a mile wide, like that yellow square.

And they're symmetrical.

And they're perfectly symmetrical.And this isn't the only place in Cambodia that has these.

And so we're probably...at an intensely sophisticated civilization.

Yes, absolutely.I mean, the moat you see dug in the middle of that structure, that was built during the Khmer period, which is the civilization that all of this is being attributed to.They're the ones that dug that through the middle.So I don't even think they knew that this was here.

It was just completely covered.

Yeah.They just dug right through the middle of it.

And so this is probably really, really old.And people have lived in that same place.Look how crazy that looks.

That's crazy.Almost every inch of ancient Cambodia is engineered.There's a site called Koker.It's about 200 miles northeast of Angkor Wat.They discovered a seven kilometer long man -made dam.that created a 2 ,000 acre reservoir.

Look at that image.

Yeah, they they didn't know that this was there.

That's crazy.

I was on a tour with Derek Olson last last November, and we actually took the tour group out to the corner of Angkor Wat and walked those mounds.And what's interesting is when you're out there, you actually can't tell that the mounds are there until you're kind of on top of them.And then you look around and you're like, wow, I'm feet above the rest of the landscape.And then you kind of keep walking because these things are 30 feet across.So you keep walking and then suddenly you're at the bottom of the landscape.So I don't think that they knew it was there.

Wow.It's so big that without LiDAR, you're really not going to get an understanding.

So that picture, yeah, so there's a good example of the jungle canopy being kind of stripped away.This is what it looks like from the air without light.

So there's no way you would know.

No.

Wow.

Entire cities, seven kilometer long dams, huge reservoirs.They didn't know about any of this.until LiDAR came out.

That's incredible.So look how the trees are just growing back in.

That's so dope.Look how awesome those roots look.

That's the Laura Croft temple called T 'Prom.

Oh, really?

Yeah, she filmed, Laura Croft was filmed at this temple.

For real, for real?

Yeah, for real.

They actually let her film there, that movie?Yeah.Wow, pretty dope.

Yeah, tourists love it.

That tree just overcoming the buildings, amazing.

They have their hands full in Cambodia with preserving these temples, because the jungle's actively tearing it down.

Yeah, it looks like the jungle's trying to consume it with that tree.

Absolutely.

Like, eventually it will.

Yep.

Eventually, if more trees grow like that, it'll break down all the stone underneath it.

The structures, I believe, are older, like the pyramids.They're a little bit more impermeable to these kinds of things.The newer temples, like the one you see on the screen, they just get ripped down.You know, it's... a little bit inferior construction.So it's newer, obviously.I think the Khmer actually built those.

And so those just get ripped down immediately by trees.But the really old stuff, the pyramids, if you see photos when they excavated it in like the 1920s, they were fully intact.

You were talking about the center of it, that it's different, that it looks older.Is there any clear images of like what that looks like?

If you, of the pyramids or of Angkor Wat?

Angkor Wat.The center.

I don't think I have photos in that folder, but you can, if you...

Because you were talking about the difference between the iconography.

Yeah, if you search just the central towers of Angkor Wat, you're probably going to find images of that.The central, so it's three layers that get higher and higher as you get toward the middle of Angkor Wat.And in the middle of it, it's very, it's just, it's carvings that just blow your mind.And they're all, they're all so beautiful.in nature, which is something you see all over the world.So in India, where I just was, it was the same thing.

The older structures, it's spiritual imagery.And then as you move out to the newer structures, it's all war scenes.You know, you can see the de -evolution of human consciousness.Yeah, so these are from the center of Angkor Wat.It's deities, you know, it's beautiful 3D carvings.You can stick gum wrappers through these, so they're fully enclosed.

You can stick a gum wrapper behind these stones.

Whoa, God, it's so pretty.

It's so beautiful.

And this is all this, so it's, that's so interesting that the people that probably built it first had No interest in war.No interest in war, or at least had a very enlightened perspective.

It does support, you know, the idea of I know you've talked about the yuga cycles on this show.But the idea of the human consciousness having reached its peak 12 ,000 years ago, and has just been slowly devolving ever since you can see that in the imagery in some of these temples, plain as day.So yeah, there's a lot of images of, you know, war scenes on the outer like all of the outer layers of Angkor Wat, but in the middle, it's totally different.Same in India.

Now, does anybody have an idea, like, does anybody have a compelling theory as to when these were made that, like, is backed by any kind of evidence or?

No, no.I mean, you can look at carbon dating, and you can poke holes in the carbon dating all day long.So they'll carbon date wood samples, you know, these are made of stone, you can't date stone.There's, there's reconstructionsthat have happened on all these sites that are brick, and then there's wood doorways that are put in, and they've carbon dated the wood.And the wood, in a lot of instances, is coming back older than the accepted date of the temple construction in general, which is a little bit problematic.

So there's a pyramid called Bakong, which is the oldest accepted pyramid in Cambodia.That one's dated to like 800 AD.the wood samples in the repaired sections of Bekong are from the 600s.And they say, well, that's generally the same.And so you have to ask yourself, if they were reconstructing and rebuilding these sites, say they were doing that during the Khmer times, they were using bricks and they were using wood to repair these sites.They were doing that in 600 AD.

So how old is the pyramid itself?They came there and they repaired the pyramid.How old is that core structure?

Yeah.And to assume that it's the same age is crazy.

It's crazy.

Yeah.

And it's a bit of a circular argument because they date a temple based on an inscription.And then they look at other temples that don't have inscriptions and they say, well, this one looks a lot like this one.So they place it in the same time period.So it just becomes this big circular logic of all of it fits the story neatly, you know, based on one inscription.

That seems so silly.

Yeah.

Really, it just doesn't make sense.It seems much more likely that there's a giant mystery.Yes.Yeah.And especially when you look at the difference in the artwork and the way it looks.Will you show me, Jamie?

They say that this one took 300 ,000 workers approximately 30 years and they never finished.

Angkor Wat?

Yeah.

Yeah.

And it says they also started it around 1116 CE.

Yeah.It doesn't make any sense.So I was recently in India a couple weeks ago.and I saw something there that was the most impressive thing I've seen with my own two eyes.It's called the Bahubali statue.I have photos in the India folder.

It's 1 ,000 tons, so it's as big as the biggest destroyed structures, or the biggest destroyed statues in Egypt, but it's still standing.It's in India.It's on top of a mountain.It's made of granite.That's a person at the bottom of it.

Holy shit.

It's made of white granite.There's, you know, the jury's out on whether it was moved there, built somewhere else and moved there, or whether this was built at the top of the hill from living stone.But in my mind, this thing is clearly machined.It's absolutely perfect.Those ears are five and a half feet long.

Look at the lips and the fingernails and everything.Look how crazy the precision is.

It's perfect.Look at the head.These are all photos I took while I was there.It stands, you know, it's 60 feet tall.It's a thousand tons.So it's the largest standing statue on Earth from ancient times.

And where's the stone supposedly coming from?

Well, you know, the story is, and I actually think I believe it, the whole mountain is granite.And so in order for this thing so that's just it poking out above the temple that's built around it.

That's mad.

It's insane that you know the story is that basically it was leaves on his arm that they built it out of living stone that it's still connected.to the mountain.And it kind of looks like that when you walk around it.You can see this rough stone at the bottom.But it looks very different than the stone from the mountain itself.So this is a white granite.

Yeah, so you can see how it almost looks like living stone.And I can't imagine how you could have erected that and moved it to the top of this mountain.So I personally believe that it was it was found, you know, it was built there.

It was a large stone that was there and they just went in and Chiseled the statue out of it.

Yep.It represents Bahubali which was the it's a Jane statue and Bahubali was a man who achieved enlightenment by standing still for a full year So the ant and Cobra Hills at the bottom and then the vines grew up around him.Oh So he's the picture of enlightenment.So just look at that image.How was that built?I sat in front of this thing for two hours, just entranced by it.

And the beautiful thing about the temples in India is they are all living temples.So they're actively being taken care of by the community.They're active places of worship.They're not off in the jungle breaking down.They're being taken care of.And this looks like it was carved yesterday.

And what timeline is this attributed to?

About 980 A .

D.And why do they think that?

Because of those very unsophisticated inscriptions at the base of it.

Can I see those inscriptions?Yeah.Right there.Yeah.Yeah.Not so sophisticated.

They look really shitty.

So they carved those around the base and they said, I built this.

Look how clunky those inscriptions are.

This paragraph here on this thing I showed you about Anger Watt.Mm -hmm shines a little light onto that Yeah.Yeah.It's just like, I'll let you read it.

any previous temples.In doing so, the king could make visible his ability to harness the energy and resources to construct the temple and assert that his temple was the only place that a god would consider residing in on earth.

Interestingly, in Cambodia, all of the pyramids were the first structures claimed by the kings.So the first king built the first pyramid.The second king built the second pyramid.So what I think they were doing is they were going into this landscape and they were finding these incredibly sophisticated pyramids.And just like that paragraph suggests, they said, well, this is the coolest thing I can find around.And they wrote their name on it.

And then once all the pyramids were taken, then they started claiming the berets.They started claiming the really nice temples.There's a temple called Bantiay Srei, which is a red sandstone temple.It's beautiful.It's one of the coolest places I've ever been.They claimed all of these places first, so all of the coolest stuff in Cambodia is the oldest.

And then once everything was claimed, then they started building new ones, like that Bayon Temple that you saw with the faces and the smaller stones.So that's what I think happened in Cambodia.

Jamie, can you go back once again to that giant statue and the inscriptions on it?Those inscriptions are weird because it's so shitty.Yeah, like look how bad the lines are how squiggly they areand broken up.

And there's another photo in there of the rest of the inscriptions.They're even worse.I mean, these are actually very nice compared to the ones that are.

But not when you consider the grandness of the actual statue itself.The statue is so spectacular.

Yeah.I mean, look how they wrote it just up any space that they could find.

Yeah.

They wrote their name there.But it looks entirely different than the rest of the statue.

Right.It looks super clunky.

Yeah.

Like, it really does.It's stark contrast.

The toe on this statue is three feet long.The ear is larger than most humans.

That's so crazy.Like, looking at it, it's so...

Isn't it incredible?

Imagine the time that it would take to make something like this with chisels.

Yes.And there was nothing else made like it.

Not only that, like, what are we talking about in terms of metallurgy back then?

Oh, hammers and chisels.

Yeah, well, did they even have iron?

Yeah, they did.

They had iron.So they had iron chisels.And this is, again, was it 900?

900 AD.

God.

And it's almost perfectly symmetrical.

And you think it looks machined.

I do.It looks very similar to the Egyptian statues.I have some side -by -side photos in the folder.

Can you focus on the neck, Jamie?Go back to the neck.Because one of the things that was crazy about when you saw the image of the neck, like, look at the lines.I know.Like, what is that?

There's similar lines like that on the large statues in Cambodia.And there's similar lines like that on the large statues in Egypt.

Reminds me of Mount Rushmore didn't we make that by hand or no?I don't know.

I think they use dynamite No, that's true Mount Rushmore's immense and this is white granite.

So this is an extremely hard stone.

What was Mount Rushmore?That is true that is true, but we did that with machines machines back then yeah, I mean they had jackhammers they had all kinds ofstuff back then.

When these were civilizations that were at war, but somehow they found the time to carve this.

I just, I'm wondering what those lines in the neck are supposed to represent.The statue is so beautiful.

Isn't it amazing?

God, it's so incredible.

Maybe they were going to make something and stopped.

You know how dope that would be if that was in your backyard?I'd never get anything done.

You can see this thing from 50 miles away.It's up on top of a mountain, and it's at the peak of the mountain.So from 50 miles in each direction, you can see this massive statue just staring serenely.Gomitch Swara Bali Bali statue of no, so there's a couple of different ones.This one's the best one So that's the third picture to the right one in the middle.Yeah, so yeah, that's a drone photo of it when I was Crazy and it's the largest ancient stat standing statue in the world and very few people talk about this thing I've never even heard of it today.

Yep Wow So that was probably just a big -ass rock that was there, and they chipped away everything to make that.

I mean, there's two options.One, maybe it was a big rock, but look how much would have had to have been reduced.And look at the stones to the right.You can see how different they look than the statue itself.

Do you think it's possible that stone was moved there?

I think it's possible it was moved there, not with any technology we recognize today.but I think it's absolutely possible.It would have had to have been taken to the top of this mountain, which is like 650 feet high, and stood up.But even if it wasn't, even if it wasn't, even if it was a standalone boulder like the ones you see below it, that's still an extraordinary feat to carve that thing in almost perfect symmetry in a way that looks very, very machined.

That is bananas.

Yeah, so you climb the mountain, it's like,650 steps.You have to do it barefoot because it's an active temple.On the way down, it got real hot.

Oh, you can't even wear socks?

You can wear socks, but it's slippery.

Oh, got to wear them grippy socks.I didn't think of that.Yeah, like for Pilates.

Yeah.Wow.It's, it's an amazing place.And it's still the beautiful thing about it is it's still just revered as a holy site.So people, the Janes take pilgrimages there.Every 12 years, they have these major ceremonies where they, they pour milk and honey and things like that over the top of it, they build a big scaffolding.

So they'll climb up to its head and pour, pour these libations over the top of it.And it's, it's It's just being continuously worshipped.And when you sit up there to get a little bit spiritual for you, you feel different.You feel like you're being healed.Like we had a plane to catch and I didn't want to leave.We sat in front of that.

It was my brother and I and we sat in front of it for as many hours as we could before we had to go catch our plane.

Wow.What was going on back then?This is the real big question.Like what was the height of sophisticated civilization 10 ,000, 12 ,000 years ago, what was it really like?And how much information did we lose because of the flood?

Yeah.What's interesting is if you look at Jain mythology, so they talk about these great half cycles that are an incalculable number of years.And they're called Tirthankaras, so they're like the kings, they're not kings, they're like the enlightened ones of the period.The first Tirthankara was Balibali was the son of that Uh...being.He was described as being over a mile tall, fully enlightened, right?

He was described as millions of years old.And these are their myths that go back to an incalculable amount of time, and that's just in this half cycle.So they just described these major cycles of time.And the images that they're building at the top of these mountains are of these enlightened beings.that are part of these like ancient myths.

Jeez.You know when you go into their ancient scriptures and you read about things like Vimana's like the flying crafts and you know and we were talking the other day about they had some sort of a description that seems to sound like a nuclear bomb and you had to use it for very specific reasons and you had to get authority to use it.

Yeah.Even, do you know what a Shiva lingam is?

No.

In my Cambodia folder, there's some photos of it.So in most of the Indian temples, there's a Shiva lingam that's usually described as a, you know, it's a male component inside a female component.So it's meant to represent both sides of the polarities.And they're They're at the entrance of most of these temples, and they're small.They're maybe like two or three feet long.But in Cambodia, there are giant Shiva lingams.

There are ones that are, you know, probably almost 20 feet long.And you can see those at sites like Koh Ker.You can see them at the top of Phnom Bakh Mountain, which is right by one of the big berets.In India, the Shiva lingams are even bigger.If you go to the ancient texts and they talk about these things, they describe them as infinite pillars of light and fire.So are these Shiva lingam, these giant Shiva lingams, actually

they're not, I don't believe that they're what we say they are today.I think that they were extremely powerful, maybe a weapon, I don't think so, maybe an energy device.But if you look at modern day stonework, and then you tie it into the old myths, you know, that's when it becomes really, really interesting to me.Yeah, so that Shiva lingam that the man is standing on in the top right photo, That's at Hampi in India.These are always surrounded by water.They're always in roofless shrines.

This, you know, very megalithic temples, the one in the bottom right, that's not AI.That's a real photo of these Shiva lingams.That one's 40 feet high, originally in a roofless temple by large bodies of water.Were these actually, I mean, I think that these were all something very different than what we're being told today, which is just, you know, a spiritual carving.

So you think this has something to do with energy, and that's why they're surrounded by water?

Yeah, I mean, in the ancient texts, they're described as an infinite pillar of light and fire.That's what a normal Shiva lingam looks like that you see all over the temples.

Right, which is just like a beautiful fountain.

A very small version of, of these monumental ones that you can find in Cambodia and India.

Yep.Yes.Yeah.

Um, so go back to the big ones, an infinite Source of light pillar pillar of fire and light.That's what they're described as.

Yes.

What the hell is that?Like what?

What were they doing with these things?They always face north.They're always in a roofless temple.They always have major water features next to them.Is that how they made power?

Maybe power?Yeah, I think that's right.

what she's implying, or something, some kind of power.

The myths suggest that there was something going on there.

Well, this is the question that I always have.When we think about technology we always think about in the context of what we understand currently.And if you think of human beings, the way we've progressed to get to where we are now is through internal combustion engines and transistors and all these different technologies that we're available that we have right now.There could have been a completely different direction that they went in and achieved similar or more spectacular sophistication in this different direction.

Yes.

And the idea that this is the only way to go is kind of crazy.

Yeah.It doesn't have to be mechanical.

Especially when this is a fairly sick society in terms of our value system and what we, you know, we're a mess.Yes, like objectively.

Yes, mentally, physically, we're as sick as we've ever been.It's the only reason our lifespan is increasing is because we've overcome it with technology.

Yeah, right, right.

We're as sick as we've ever been as unhappy as we've ever been.I think that's part of the reason that the powers that be don't want us talking about Golden ages, right?So if if you can convince civilization That if you can convince today's society that we are the best we've ever been life is as good as it's ever been That's much more palatable than we are as sick as we've ever been.

We're as unhappy as we think that people are actively Trying to enforce that narrative because of that or do you think they're just?Reinforcing their own current beliefs.

I think a little of both.

I don't think they know I think there's a lot of these people that are these that are conventional archaeologists.conventional timeline proponents.I don't think they really study it all.I don't think they do.I think they try to discredit some things and they do it very disingenuously, like some of the people that have gone after Graham Hancock.The things they say are really kind of crazy.

I think they're doing it because they're trying to reinforce their own closely held beliefs and this gatekeeping of information, being the person that's the expert.You know, there's this appeal to expertise in an area where you have very little data.It's like you really can't be an expert in something that you, you know, especially like timelines of stone, like how?How do you know?You don't really know, right?You don't know?

Okay.Yeah.So let's go from there.

We don't know.

Yeah.

That's an okay thing to say.

Yeah.

Or I'm open to the possibilities.

I don't think they're trying to promote it because they think that we want to establish that, you know, human beings today are sick and let's, let's not pay attention to an enlightened golden age when people were different and they were concentrating much more on the spiritual aspects of human life.And they had deities that were spectacular, and they had technology that was above and beyond.I think they're just not willing to entertain it.You know, I think, and again, I think that's like what they say about science, that science moves on and progresses one funeral at a time.

Yeah.

I think that's the case with archaeology as well.I think there's a lot of these people that just, they have to go away.And then the new people coming up, a lot of them are watching YouTube.You know, a lot of them are reading these papers.A lot of them are looking at the work of Filippo Biondi that's underneath the pyramids and they're going, hey, Explain that yeah, cuz you really can't you know and they're trying to dismiss it so hard But that technology is like if you are trust the science Like you got to trust the science and that technology is proven that not only that they use ittechnology to accurately get the dimensions of things like that particle collider that's 1 .2 kilometers into a mountain.

So if they have that, and they can use that on a known specific structure, they know the dimensions of it, and then they get a reading that's the exact dimensions of that specific structure.

It's because technology works, right?

But they don't want to even entertain it because it's too crazy.If what he's saying about what's underneath the pyramids is correct, the whole timeline's gone.Everything's gone.It's like, OK, we don't know shit.

He just basically announced that he discovered a second Sphinx.And if you look at the layout of the Giza Plateau, it actually makes sense that a second Sphinx would be there.The structures under the pyramid are very difficult to prove out.because you have to dig or excavate under the pyramid to do that.The second sphinx is, if it's there, is simply buried by a pile of sand.So that would be a very easy thing to dig out and to prove, yes, Filippo Biondi, his technology is showing something that's actually there.

What does the second Sphinx look like in the images?

He just had a conference in Italy, and his translated version of his talk at this conference just came out, I think, yesterday or the day before.And he shows all of these scans that he's done from space.he kind of puts them together and shows the shape of the structure that I'm seeing under the ground looks a whole lot like the existing Sphinx.And he actually used AI and ran probabilities against his scans.And so he went to Grok and Google Gemini and all of the different AIs and effectively said, if you look at my data, what do you think the odds are of a Sphinx being under the sand?And AI came back,

in almost every instance higher than 80 % probability that it is a sphinx based on the data that he's showing.That would be incredible.

That seems easy.

And like I said, all you have to do is, so when they excavated the tombs that are right next to where Biondi believes the sphinx is, they took all of the sand from those and piled it directly on top of the sphinx.not knowing it was there.And so you just need to move this sand out of the way and dig down and you can prove whether it's there or not.

Having people disputed that though, like aren't there some photos where that mound didn't exist from like the 1930s or something?

Right, yeah.So that's when they excavated those tombs.They took that sand and they piled it there.So initially when Biondi talked about this, like on Matt Bell's podcast, when he announced this, people came out immediately and said what he thinks he's seeing is actually a modern pile of soil.But what he's showing is below that in his scans.So I think it's a big opportunity for the people in Egypt to go out, do a little mission, dig down, see what's there, and you can prove, you know, yes, so the Dream Stella, all of these, a lot of these different traditions talk about two sphinxes.

And the geometry from the air, you can see where he believes he found the sphinx.You know, geometrically, it looks very similar to where the first sphinx was found in relation to the different pyramids.So, yeah, so, you know, I think go back to that.

Just just talking about it.I know, but they say it's false.

Well, I love how they say that viral claims of second buried Sphinx at Giza are false.Archaeologists say, well, how do you know if you didn't dig?

Yeah.

How do you know?And again, also, the Sphinx was buried.This is like what's really important, like whenNapoleon found it, it was buried.So that was what?What year was that?

I don't know.

What year is Napoleon?17s?

1700s?

I could see the head though, right?

Yeah, that's it.Just the head.

Yeah, so if the entire Sphinx is varied, I guess my point is it's very hard to prove his claims of what's under the pyramids because that's a real excavation.

So, I mean, you could easily see, given a different geographic layout, different topographical layout, That if the whole body could be covered, well, if you're in a different place and the sand comes in a different way and it piles up even higher.

It's on the west side of the Giza Plateau.The current sphinx is on the east side.And then you have the two pyramids in the middle.

So it is possible that sand could have just covered that over thousands and thousands of years.Absolutely.

And it would be easy to prove that it's there.

Or that it's not.

Or that it's not.Or that Beyond is full of shit.Or maybe he's not.

Right.He might not be.Well, they have also found chambers inside the Sphinx that they know are real.

Yeah.

So chambers that are proven that they know exist, this technology also shows them.

And in Biondi's new scans, he also shows cavities inside that Sphinx.

Really?

What he believes are.

Okay.

So it's really exciting, and I think, you know, if you think about where this field is going in the next five or 10 years, and think about the opportunities with AI and all of this technology, look what was uncovered in Cambodia with LIDAR, look what's happening in Egypt with scans from space.If you take AI and you start to compile, you know, I used to work for a mining company, and mining companies use LIDAR, or forestry companies, or, you know,environmental companies, they all scan the earth.right, with LiDAR.If you could use AI to compile all of the scans all over the world, imagine what you could start to identify that nobody's identified before as ancient structures.I think you could fundamentally change this discussion in the next five years just using AI and different kinds of technology that we've never been able to do in human history.

We can translate untranslatable texts.

Yeah, I've seen that.I've seen what's really fascinating when they do these scans of scrolls from Pompeii.Have you seen that?The Vesuvius project.Yeah, it's amazing.Like they're completely wrapped.

Yeah.And they're covered with ash.Like, they're super delicate, but they've been able to use scans to actually read the text on those scrolls.It's amazing.Incredible.

And there's an incredible amount of ancient texts that have been untranslated.What is hidden in there?Not just the languages that we don't know how to translate, like Rongo Rongo script in Easter Island, but translatable script that nobody's paid attention to.The thousands of Sanskrit writings, what's hidden in there?So I think it's a really exciting time to do this work.And I personally believe in the next 10 years, there are going to be extraordinary discoveries that I think it's going to be very hard to argue that we need to at least re -examine our history.

Yeah, without a doubt.I think that's already the case.I think there's, thanks to people like you, and thanks to people that are making these videos, we could see this, just, it's just so puzzling.I mean, it doesn't make, the timeline doesn't make any sense.It also doesn't make any sense in terms of like a linear timeline of technology.It's like, what were they using?

Like, how did they move this stuff?

And why?

Why?Yeah, why?

Why were they building these things?Why were they building awhere they were building them?

Yeah.

You know, if you think of the Earth like a human body, were these sites built on the acupuncture points of Earth?They were built in highly energetic places.When you go to these sites, you feel different.People describe spontaneous healings.I have different dreams when I visit these ancient sites.You know, I do a lot of meditations, and when you meditate on top of a pyramid in Cambodia, you drop in immediately.

You know, so you are, as a human, you're resonating with these sites in a way that you don't when you're not at them.And so I believe, personally, that they were building these sites in these places for a reason.

Well, it makes sense.And the idea that different places don't have different energy is just one of those things that people like to say, that we've got to a clear understanding of what energy is and what, you know, what— what is different about these different places.It's just different geology.It's just, there's nothing special.There's nothing, but we don't really know that.There's so many things that we can't measure.

And we definitely don't understand why certain places have a different effect on human beings.I mean, just wilderness has a different effect on human beings.It's, you know, like forest bathing.It's a real thing.Like hugging trees actually is good for you.Like grounding, walking barefoot on ground is actually good for you.

And we don't truly understand why.And there's something that in some way that we're connected to the earth that we don't quite understand.

Yeah.Right after I left my corporate life, I did a basically like a wilderness quest.So picture of like a Native American vision quest where I spent four days on the side of a mountain with no food, no tent, nothing, just a journal and myself for four days with no food.

Why did you do that?

It was because I needed to heal from the corporate life that I had lived.I needed to recover.

How bad are jobs?How bad are jobs that it's better to have no food and be sitting on a mountain for four days to get your head straight?

What I'll say about that experience is I think that humans don't let themselves get completely silent any longer.So what you're saying about nature healing you, you know, over the course of three days your body gets very weak and the voices get a lot quieter and suddenly really The only thing you hear is your soul or God or whatever word you have for it.And you watch the stars pass at night and you're sitting there all day.And it's it was one of the most special experiences I've ever had.

Did you bring water?What did you do?

You have basically like you have three liters of water per day that you hike into this area and you just sit with the water and that's it.The last night of it was really cool because what you're supposed to do, it's meant to be a healing and kind of rebirth, right?So the last night you set up rocks in a circle and at sunset you enter the middle of the circle and you're keeping an all -night vigil.So you're watching, you literally watch the constellations move all night.and you're supposed to try, I succeeded but barely, to stay awake until the sun comes up.And so the idea is that you're entering as one person and you're leaving the next morning as another person.

And so the Native Americans with their vision quests, they're doing it right.I think that we have completely lost our connection and ability to tune into ourselves and to tune into the earth.And quests like that are really amazing.

Wow.And it's being blunted every day byphones and TVs and screens and Wi -Fi.You're just flipping through TikTok.

You know, it's different than sitting with yourself in complete silence for days.

What a complete polar opposite to corporate life.

Yes.Thank God.Corporate life has its place.

Yeah, well, it has its place.I want an iPhone.Somebody's got to make a laptop.

Totally.And people need to make a living, right?

Yeah.There's other ways.Not for everybody.I mean, we need people to not get it so that they keep working, so we have stuff.

Yeah, exactly.

Or, you know, at least to spend a portion of their life doing that and then … Yeah, but when you think about ancient civilizations and how much time they spent in ritual and how important these things were to them and how They had this very strange connection, like a lot of these ancient structures, particularly the Aztec structures and Egyptian structures, they mirror the constellations.And so they had an understanding of their place.in this universe.They knew how to make these temples so that the pillars, the summer solstice, the sun would part through the middle of the pillars and light these corridors like that.That's incredible sophistication.That's incredible planning.

This understanding of when the sun's coming up exactly at a specific time of the year was the longest day of the year.The knowledge that the sun's moving in the sky, but it'll be back on this day.And this is where it's got to be.So this is where we have to build.

And they encoded that in stone.

And they didn't miss.They didn't get it off by a half a foot or six inches.No, it's like right there, sun in the center, right up the middle.Like, how did you do that?How did you do that?You did that while you were hunter gathering?

Like, what are you talking about?This is bananas.

In the spring equinox, the sun rises exactly over the center tower of Angkor Wat.Perfect.They knew.They knew exactly what was happening, and they built their structures around it.Which gets back to the why, right?Like, yes, how did they build this?

It's mind -blowing.But why did they build it?Why did they build it the way that they did?Why did they build it where they did?Look at that.Isn't that incredible?

That is bananas.

Look at all the people just straight up the east side.

What are the odds?I mean, those are pretty small that you would nail it like that.

You definitely get fired if you were off a little bit.That is crazy.

It's so crazy.It's so crazy how accurate it is.

The ancients were really in tune.

What was it like?I mean, how much time do you spend thinking about what society must have been like then?

A lot.Almost every day.

I wonder what humans are like if we're not on this path that we're on, you know, with propaganda and gaslighting and technology and being inundated with just nonsense all the time and wrapped up in materialism and brands and bullshit and popularity.

I think we're in touch with each other.I think we're in touch with the earth.I think we have a deep relationship with God.It's all of the things that people are still searching for today.We just feel fully disconnected from it.And I think that's why these ancient sites are so appealing to people.

You know, why people travel all over the world to see them.It creates a sense of wonder and awe in us that very few other things do.

Yeah.

You know?

I'm really fascinated by the Mayan civilization and the timeline of them, because that's another one that's really weird.Yeah, like the the Mayan structures are so strange.I've that's the only place that have been the only ancientplace I've been is Chichen Itza.And when you're walking around, you just go, what were these people like?Like, what was it like living here?

Were you there when you could still climb it?

Yes.Yeah, me too.Yeah.Yeah, we went in the 90s.

Yeah.

No, maybe early 2000s.Yeah, early 2000s.And it was stunning.It's weird.It feels weird.

There's a lot of ancient stuff in Mexico.Yeah, the Olmec things are really mysterious.The Mayan structures, their myths there, you know, it's, it's old in southern Mexico.

Well, how about the Aztec stuff where they didn't even make those temples?That's what I didn't know.I didn't know that until fairly recently.

I mean, it's no different than the Khmer in Cambodia.

Yeah.But at least they said it.They said, these are the place where the gods were born.That's how they described it.We attribute those temples to the Aztecs.But they, they're like, nope, they were already here.

Okay, well, but then who?

The Incas say the same thing in Peru.We didn't build these.These were already here, but we don't listen to them.We're like, you guys don't know what you're talking about.People wrote myths.

Those are just stories.One of the things we talked about the other day was that there's a bunch of different cultures.that have a timeline of the kings, where they ruled for thousands and thousands of years.Like one king ruled for thousands of years.And then you have the flood, and then you have the ages of these people drops off pretty radically, and then becomes a normal age, like human beings.And we look at that and we go, oh, well, that's just myth back then, until it's history.

And it's the same text.Like in the same depictions of these kings, where they have accepted dates, you know, the 5000 year ago, 4000 year ago kings.Well, yeah, that guy was real.

Yeah.

Butthese other ones that lived for 3 ,600 years?No, that's not real.

Same with the Jains, like I was talking about earlier.There are 24 Tirthankaras.All 24 have lived, according to the Jains.But archaeology has only recognized the last two of them.Because those were the only, you know, the timelines and their lifespans, that kind of fits.But when you talk about the way back days, that's just myth.

What do they say their timelines were?

Oh, I mean, millions of years.And the, you know, the first earthen car was over a mile tall.

Oh my God.

You know, so that it's just, but it's consistent across the world.The Jains talk about it, the Hindus, the Egyptians, the Sumerians, all the Bible, all of them talk about very long lifespans, giant statures.You know, is it, is it coincidence that all of our ancient myths talk about the same things?Right.Or might it have been true?

Yeah.Well, then there's the book of Enoch.Which is Anna Paulina Luna turned me on to that.She's like, you got to read that.And I read it twice now.I'm like, this is the most bizarre depiction of a human story.

The Watchers came down and mated with the daughters of men and created the Nephilim, who were giants who destroyed and consumed everything and were wiped out by the flood.What?

And the accepted biblical texts barely hinted that.They still talk about it.

Yes.

But the extra biblical canon talks, the stories are much more like the book of Enoch.

Yeah.

You know, there's a reason, I think, that those were excluded from the Bible.

Well, they were excluded by rabbis.

I know.

Because they didn't jive with the Torah, which is hilarious.They all were in the same caves in Qumran.like the version of the book of Enoch wasin the same as the book of Isaiah.They were all in the same scrolls.It's just like, what?

How do you guys leave this out?Like, imagine if they taught that at church on Sunday?You'd be like, what are you saying?

Yeah.You know, David and Goliath.

The Watchers?

I think it's interesting that you can totally accept that David and Goliath is a real story.And Goliath was a giant in the Bible.

Yeah.

Right.

How tall was he supposed to be though?Couldn't he be like a really big guy from Iceland?

I think he was described, they described, the way that the Hebrews described it is that they made them feel like grasshoppers.The giants, the Nephilim made them feel, you know, they were like, we are as if we are grasshoppers.So I think that they were meant to be very, very large.

It would be really nice if they found a Bigfoot somewhere.

I love Bigfoot.

Not a Bigfoot, not the animal.I mean like a giant foot, like a stone.

Exactly.

David and Goliath.So he was supposed to be 10 feet tall.Often calculated as roughly 9 to 10 feet tall.The thing about that is like, you know, people are full of shit and they can make up a story.The guy was so big, he was 10 feet tall.But meanwhile, he could have been like the mountain from Game of Thrones.

Totally.Like a real person.

Any of our basketball players today?

Who says he was six and a half feet tall?Scholars?

The Dead Sea Scrolls?

The Dead Sea Scrolls?So six cubits in a span, often calculated as roughly nine to ten feet tall in the ancient Hebrew text.Greek and Dead Sea Scrolls texts say four cubits in a span.So that's only six and a half to seven and a half feet tall, depending on how the cubit was defined.So that makes sense.So who knows?

9 to 10 is pretty big.

Yeah, 9, 10 is big.But if the Dead Sea Scrolls are correct, then it's only six and a half feet.So he's a basketball player.

Yeah.

You know, that's not even a really tall one.

Yeah.

You know, there's who knows?biggest basketball player now?How tall are they?

There's a kid that's like 14, that's almost eight feet tall.

What?

I don't know if he's going to make it to the NBA or anything, but...

Just plop it into the game.

Oh my God, that's so crazy.That's so big.So you got to imagine...But you got to imagine with technology.So they're working right now on life extension technology and they've already figured out a way to reverse the age of skin cells and they're on their path to being able to stop human aging and maybe potentially even reverse it.If that technology becomes implemented.

Jeez 20 years old though.

He's actually playing basketball, but jeez So he's bigger than Goliath by a lot.He Goliath would talk shit about him He got his ass kicked by a basketball player But if you can imagine this technology being implemented in the future and then being refined and then getting to a point where they really have it mastered, you know, like like we have with so many medical interventions that we have today and You could get to a point where someone could live to a thousand years or several thousand years And if you're the king, of course, you're gonna want that technology and you're also gonna be very protected So you're you have to worry about dying in other ways unless somebody usurps you.Yeah, so you can like The Sumerian Kings list and some of these like the Zep Tepi list, you look at that and you go, what are they saying?Why was this guy 6 ,000 years old?How did he rule the country for 30 ,000 years?That sounds insane.

But it doesn't sound insane if they master biological aging, which is not impossible.It's not impossible.Not only is it not impossible, they're actively working on technology that's going to allow that to happen in our lifetime.

You think it's going to happen in our lifetime?

A hundred percent.Yeah.A hundred percent.Yeah.

The human quest for immortality.

Well, I don't think that's going to happen.but I think you're going to extend life.You're going to extend biological life in a significant manner and maybe, for the sake of looking at things through rose -colored glasses, maybe that's a good thing.

Yes.

Because one of the things about humans is we barely have enough time to figure out how much of life is bullshit while you're wrapped up in it.And then if you have responsibilities, you get married, you have a family, you have a mortgage, you have a bunch of, there's no time to recognize how fruitless a lot of your thinking and behavior and how stupid a lot of the things that people concentrate on.But as you get older and older, you get better at it.I'm way better at it now than I was 20 years ago.Way better, way better at life.I would imagine I'm going to be better still 20 years from now, unless I'm decrepit.

So 20 years from now, I could be all worn out and like, you know, my back hurts.Get off my lawn.You know, you get stupid.Not in my backyard.Right.You get goofy.

You get goofy because you get old and sad and, you know, you're not healthy anymore.But if you were 80 years old and healthy, like a healthy 30 year old, You're wise at that point.Yeah.Well, then you have immense amount of life experience.Totally.And then if you live under 100 years on top of that, you go, oh my God, I was so stupid when I was 80.

Back when I was 80, I thought I had it nailed.But now that I'm 180, now I see.

The question is, if your lifespan is expected to be 200 years, then do you work until you're 160?So does it just expand the stages that we're all going through now, and you just work longer?

Well, it depends on what work is.So if work is your love, why not, right?Totally.Yeah, it really depends on what work is.So if it's hard labor, that doesn't sound fun.I don't want to be an 800 -year -old roofer.

It seems like, jeez, my hands would be so tired.

But if you're going to live to 1 ,200 years, you've still got a long retirement.

Well, I think retirement's out the window if you can stay healthy.Because the whole idea of retirement is like, why are we retiring?We're retiring because we're old.jobs.OK, well, maybe if you loved your job, you wouldn't want to retire.Totally.

You know, George Carlin died on the road.He died in a hotel room.I think in Las Vegas.

You know, and you hear lots of stories of people working their entire careers, retiring, and then promptly dying.

Oh, yeah.No purpose.

Within six months, they have a heart attack, and they die.And they had all these big plans, and they just never see them through.

Yeah.They just feel like the end is near, and that the creeping doom, the existential angst in the back of your head is probably contributing to a lot of your decay.

Yeah.

Because you've kind of, like, checked out.You know, that happens a lot with spouses.You know, the husband dies, and the wife dies shortly thereafter.after my grandparents, my grandmother died and my grandfather died within a year.

Yeah.Yep.That's what happens when the woman dies first.

Yeah.

Yeah.It's so much harder for the man to live without her.Is it?

Is it?

Yeah, I think so.

Why is that?

I mean, if you think of the all the old widows.You know, the women live, my grandpa died 15 years ago and my grandma's 93.She's still living, she's still going.That's interesting.She knew how to cook for herself and clean and things like that, but had it been reversed, I'm not sure that he would have lived that long.

Maybe.Depends on the relationship.I see a lot of relationships with older couples where the woman becomes like the caretaker.

Yeah.

I think dudes get dumber quicker when they get older.No comment.They're just worn out by the time they hit 80.A lot of times the wife tells them things like, OK, you got it.You're right.You're right.

And then they just fall into that role where the wife is in charge of everything.

Have you seen the stats of the expected lifespan of a man that's married versus not married?

No.

Jamie, I don't know these off the top of my head, but they've done studies that talk about basically the lifespan extension that happens with men when they have a woman in their life.

Is it longer?

Yes.

Interesting.

Yeah.

Well, then when there's no woman, then it's filled with cocaine and hookers.Exactly.So that also takes years off your life.

And lots of burgers and beer.You know, you're not eating a salad.

Right.Loneliness is worse than cigarette smoking.They found that.Totally.Yeah.Loneliness is like one of the worst things that can happen to people.

And it, you know, really, the term spirituality is It's kind of tainted in a lot of ways because there's a lot of goofy people that use that like I'm not religious I'm spiritual.It's the term unfortunately has like a stink to it.Yeah, but there is a connection that we have to each other.That's not as simple as we would like to think.Like, we need each other.We need each other in very profound ways.

And it's actually important for our survival.And that's why the worst thing they could do to you in prison is put you in solitary confinement.

We are a pack animal.

Yeah.Yeah, we're supposed to be connected to each other.And it's not a preference thing.That's why when someone says like, I'm a loner, I'm like, okay, well, either you're the only one that's like that, or you're full shit.Or you like you want to pretend you're mysterious.You like to be alone.

Like we like we attribute strength to that, like, oh, he doesn't need anybody.

And it's so hard now to build your tribe.You no longer live where your grandparents and your parents lived.You are out there on your own.You're spending hours on your phone.You have a community that you feel like is a community, but it's not.not, you don't have a tribe anymore.

Yeah.And then people find their own tribes, and usually they're political.

Yeah.

Yeah.They get ideological or religious, you know.

You want to fit in.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, and that's what we do.I mean, that's why when you see so many people that are religious devotees, like, why are they willing to do that?Why are they willing to wear those clothes?Why are they willing to act that way?Well, it's because everyone's doing it, and you want to be a part of it.And there's like some good feeling of community

to where everyone's kneeling at the same time and saying the same things there's something to that that likes very profound totally with human beings and if it's directed in the wrong way it could be incredibly destructive but it's directed in the right way if it is if it's real ceremony and real worship and real openness to the cosmos and to God and to spirituality, like real true understanding, real connection with the universe, then it's probably a lot better than the way we're doing it.

One thousand percent.I think that's why the psychedelics are coming back in such a huge way.It's people accessing that part of themselves that have been shut down their whole lives.

Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up because I think that's the missing element.And I think that's what probably was very prevalent in the ancient times.And this is the work of Brian Muir Rescue.I'm sure you do know about his stuff.The Immortality Key.Oh, yeah.

Yes, I did.So he I actually got super fortunate that my family and I were in Greece when he was going to be in Greece.And so I got a tour of Ulysses with him.He took me there.He showed me all the different places.

And it feels so strange.

It feels so strange.Like, you're standing in the place where these people had these Ilyusinian mystery ceremonies, and it just feels weird.Like, my family got a little weirded out, because I was, like, holding on to it.I was, like, standing there.

Did it feel good?

Yeah, yeah.Yeah.Yeah, definitely good.

Like a connection?

It felt fucking strange.

Yeah.

Like, I was holding on.I had my hand on this wall, and my daughter was like, are you okay?I'm like, I'm fine.I'm fine.I'm fine.I just don't want to talk right now.

I just want to, like, sit here and try to soak this in.Like, is daddy upset?Like, no, no, no, no, not upset.No?Like, is your dad just, like, holding a rock?

A little destabilizing for a child.I know!Like, is daddy okay?

thought it was cool too, but you know, it's hard you're 13 or 12 It's hard to like go.Oh my god.What a special place.They're like, yep old old stuff.What do we eat?We took him to the museum in Athens and one of my daughters loves museum the other ones like I couldn't be bothered, just bored by it all.

But I was like, this is crazy.These people lived 2 ,000 years ago, and they made this stuff.Do you know how nuts this is?How did they do this?What were they doing?What was this society like?

To be able to just see the work of people that they've left behind, and to just imagine the amount of time that's taken place, and then you put yourself back into that timeline.We just assume that this way that we are, this is how people are, because this is how people are today.It's so hard to put your mind into what it's like and what it must have been like to live back then.

If you go to places, earlier this year, I went to Easter Island and Peru, and both of them are described as the navels of the world.So they have these origin myths in both of these places.And when you're in these places, you have different dreams dreams, you sleep really well, you feel just good.You feel like you're on peptides.You know, you just feel, you're like, oh my gosh, I feel so healthy.I feel healed.

And so the land itself where they built a lot of these ancient places is powerful.You know, I don't think it's a coincidence that we see the Moai in Easter Island built around this absolutely incredible place or Cusco, which is such a beautiful place that you see these stone walls.I think that they built there because of the energy that was there already.

What do you think was before that?And like, what is this timeline?How far does it go back?Like, what is the origin of sophisticated civilization?Like, what is the year?When does it all start happening?

I wonder sometimes if the purpose of building structures like that is so people like you ask those questions.That's the whole point.Well, maybe.is to blow our minds and get us to think about consciousness and the history of our species.The fact that we're sitting there having this conversation is because of the stones that were built who knows how long ago.And maybe that was the point.

It certainly could have been a part of the point, because what we're doing today, when we talk about our society being sick and superficial and silly, all of our structures are temporary.And they're ugly.Well, some of them are cool looking.I think some are cool.

Some of them, yeah.

They're cool.They're certainly not Angkor Wat cool.Yeah.You know, they're cool.But the point is, like, they're all essentially temporary.A thousand years from now, none of them will exist.

They will all be absorbed by the earth.That's hard for people to understand if you're walking through Manhattan.Like, this will always be here.Nope.Nope, nope, it won't, it won't.If everybody just left and you came back 5 ,000 years from now, there wouldn't be shit here.

So then it leads me to this question.The timeline that we're looking at, if you're looking at pre -flood timeline, 11, 12 ,000 years ago, things were sophisticated.Maybe it's way longer than that.Because if you have 100 ,000 years of super sophisticated civilization, what does that look like?What did people look like then?And this is one of the things that people are proposing when they talk about it.

look at anatomically modern human beings.So anatomically modern human beings, and then not these Peru skulls, but whatever just you and I are, they've putthat back now to one million years.So, OK, why did it take so long before people just like you and I figured out agriculture, figured out civilization, figured out cities?What were we doing that whole time?What was going on?

And is it possible that it's just when you go back that far, you don't find anything.You don't find anything.That seems more likely to me.And when you look at the immense erosion that Benven Kirkwood has pointed out to the really the older stones in Egypt, where you can clearly see they've built on top of them on the outside, when you see this intense erosion, like this is tens of thousands of years of erosion.Well, what if it's 100 ,000?What the fuck is left?

What if it's 200 ,000?

What's left from 100 ,000 years ago?Maybe some stones, myths and spiritual traditions.or 10 ,000 years ago, that's the only thing that makes it through cataclysms, the human stories, spiritual traditions, and these megalithic stones.

And a real cataclysm, if you're talking about the destruction of civilization itself, how many of those people even know the stories?How many live?How many scholars survive the apocalypse?How many?We know that 70 ,000 years ago, the Toba volcano, the super volcano, wiped people out down to the point of less than 100 ,000 people on Earth.It's just 70 ,000 years ago.

Right.100 ,000 people.We have been on the brink so many times.Can you imagine like one Eagles football game, right?Take that crowd.That's the entire population of Earth now.

Yeah.

Right.One packed UT game.That's everybody on Earth.And now we have to branch out and go to China and go to Africa and go everywhere.That's all the people on Earth.

That just shows how amazing and resilient we are.

Yeah, and also fragile.And also, it really shines a light on the preposterous nature of the conventional timeline.It really does, because it's like, look, guys, there's so much evidence that there's holes in the story.At what point in time do you stop and say, look, a lot of these people did great work, and they made these conclusions based on the understanding that they had at the time.But as time has gone on, there's holes in the story.come a point where we have to reevaluate this.

And if you don't reevaluate it, you're going to lose all the respect of the people that are paying attention.Totally.Because there's too many people that are looking at this and saying, hey, no one's discounting or discrediting your work.No one's saying you're a bad person.No one's saying you're an idiot.It's like, this is what we knew back then.

But to say that this is all we know and any new information, as profound as it might be, like 1 .2 kilometer structures underneath the Great Pyramids, Like, that doesn't mean that you're an idiot.It just means that this is an ongoing thing.It's not done.Yep.We haven't figured it out yet.And we're not going to for a long ass time.

This is a long trek.And as LIDAR improves, and as the radio tomography and all these different things that they come up with.And then imagine the advances 10, 20, 30 years from now, in their ability to look like, look at Sub -Saharan Africa.Yeah, very little expeditions been done there.And they're like, what?

Let's light our Sub -Saharan Africa.

There's whales there.

I've seen the whales.

Whales.Yeah.Okay, so incredible.What the fuck you find whales in the desert?Okay, what else is out there?Yeah, is there a city under all that shit?

Like what is that?Like what what is in there?

You know, it's funny though.You can reveal cities under the jungle and nobody talks about it, right?What's recent?They just did that in Cambodia, and it's not headline news around the world that there are entire cities being found in the Amazon jungle or in Cambodia.It just is one quick headline, and then everybody ignores it.

Well, it's good for us, because it gives us great podcast content.It's the only way people can find out about it.And again, it's science.The LiDAR scans of the Amazon are spectacular.

Incredible.

And you look at it, and you go, oh my God.probably millions of people living here.This is not like a bunch of tribal people that are shooting bows and arrows all the time.

They were engineering the rainforest.

And it's just the fact that more people aren't talking about this is a little stunning to me.But I just think they don't get informed.And then they also assume, you know, you see some YouTube headline that's got big fancy font and you know people are older than we think like oh go on I went to Cambridge fuck off and you have a lot of AI stuff out there that's just complete bogus mm -hmm yeah yeah you know it's hard to know what what the truth is.Sure.And then there's a lot of weird stuff like the sage wall in Montana.I've watched some videos on that.

I'm not convinced.I think that might be a weird geological formation.

Yeah.

But it doesn't look like it.Parts of it really look like it's stacked stones.

I think that you know during the Ice Age in North America it was an extremely harsh time with walls of ice.Right.So if if the Younger Dryas happened the way that I believe it happened, North America would have been just almost wiped clean.You know, if so, if there were ancient structures here, they probably didn't survive the way that they did in Egypt and other places like that.

Certainly not under the glaciers, right?That's what I just found.What'd you find?

I see the middle of the desert here.Yeah.I'm gonna zoom in.Desert, desert, desert, desert, desert, right?

Right.

Whoa.What is this?An ancient fortress.

How old is it?

Up draw.How old do they say it is?No one knows what it is.

What?

Yeah, they're assuming that maybe it was a hiding place for Jews when they were being persecuted and taken out of there.But according to this, No explanation.It's just in the middle of the desert.Whoa.Sand, straw, and clay.

Whoa.

Just look at the dunes.Imagine if it didn't just blown away.

Imagine deciding to build there.

Out of nowhere.

Why did they build there?

Or what else is around it?You don't know what's hiding underneath next to it.

God, what did it look like when it was first built?And what is it made out of?Sand?Stone?What is it made out of?

It said sand and clay, which means it probably is newer.

Sure, but my point is it's hiding under the desert in the middle of nowhere and no one, I've never heard of it being brought up on here by anybody.

One big sandstorm and that thing's gone.Right.Buried.

Look at all the sand, dude.The crazy thing is to think that that sand was all jungle and before that it was ocean.

I know.

It's so insane.

Seeing the whales in the middle of the desert is a surreal experience.

Surreal.Have you seen them in person?Yeah.Oh!What is that?How close did they let you get?

Oh, you just walk right up to them.There's just like little rocks on the ground outlining the skeletons.

Yeah.

Wow.

But it's, you know, when we were driving out there, they had securities concerns.So we had a security car in front of ours, then ours, and one behind us.

Look how bonkers that is.

Yeah.It looks like dragons.It's just otherworldly.It's so neat.That's so crazy.It's a long drive, though.

It's like a whole day.

Well, the dragons thing is a weird thing.

Yeah.

Because there's, this is one of the things that The View made fun of me of.It said he believes in dragons.

You know what?Bayhar was saying that.

So I put, I changed all of the headings of my social media account, Dragon Believer.

Because I'm like, that's so funny.You and millions of other people around the world, and almost every ancient civilization, Believed in dragons.

It's very odd.It's very odd that they all have this story of these ancient serpents but but also they were really bad at their depictions of actual things and One of the things that I pointed out to Jamie was when I visited Italy a few years ago I went to this really old church and they had this stone mosaic artwork that was of Noah and Was it Noah in the whale?No, Jonah, Jonah, Jonah and the whale.I think that's what it was.But this whale does not look like a whale.It looks really weird.

It's this really weird looking thing that's supposed to represent a whale.Why?Because they never saw a whale.So like they're, they're making their own version of what a whale is.See if you can find that.I know it's on my Instagram.

It's super old.I think it was probably 10 years ago.But whatever the fuck that is, like, okay, that's how they, that's it.Like, look at that thing.Isn't that dope?

That doesn't look like a whale.

Right at all, right?Yeah.

Looks like a griffin.

Yeah, it looks like... some kind of a monster that lives in the ocean.So this is like their version of describing what a whale looks like, right?So when they're describing dragons, like, what are they really describing?Do they actually fly or are we talking about like crocodiles?Like, what are we talking about?Are we talking about like some sort of extinct dinosaurs that survived?

And then, you know, they only made it for a few thousand years.ago.Because there's things that we know existed during the human timeline that they just don't exist anymore.They went extinct.Giant sloths, for instance.There's a bunch of North American animals.

65%, in fact, of all North American megafauna didn't make it after the Younger Dryas impact.So what is the serpent?What is the dragon?Why does China have one?Why does Japan have one?Why does Eastern European have one?

Why does so many ancient cultures cultures talk about this one specific thing.

Yeah.

And the Bible references it like 34 times.

What's interesting, though, is in most of the ancient civilizations, the serpents or the dragons are meant to be guardian figures.Right.So they were presented in a positive light.They weren't evil.

Right.

But in the Bible, the serpent is actually the trickster.You know, so it's it's one of the only traditions in the ancient world where the serpent is it's suggested that the serpent is evil.

In Adam and Eve, in that depiction?

Yeah, he tricked Eve.But in front of all of the temples in Cambodia, there are giant naga, which is like the seven or nine headed snakes.And they guard the liminal space between the outside world and the temples.So that's their purpose, right?When you see a naga, it means you're entering a temple, you're entering the zone of the gods.So it was always positive, except for in ancient Christianity.

The King's James version is the version that says dragon, but it's probably a translation issue, maybe.

Ah, interesting.So sea monster, serpent, translated in many modern versions has jackal, sea creature, or monster, depending on the context.But dragon often renders Hebrew terms like tanin, which is a sea monster or serpent.Interesting.

Fire -breathing reptiles.

But it's just, you know,were they?Why were there so many versions of this?Was that a real thing?And is it a real thing from 11 ,000 years ago?Is it a real thing from 20 ,000 years ago, 50 ,000 years ago?

And again, when it comes to the fossil record, how much evidence would there be of that thing existing?Right.They didn't even find dinosaurs until, what, the 1700s or something?

Right, yeah.

Whenever it was?And then there's a lot of people that think dinosaurs are fake, which is fun.

There's all sorts of rabbit holes you can go down.

Well, they have a point.In that a lot of what you go to see in the museum is not an actual dinosaur skeleton.It's a recreation.Totally.Yeah, because the actual skeletons are probably somewhere else.That is a fact.

And then it's also the fact that they take like portions of it, and then they recreate what's missing and then create a skeleton.Make a lot of assumptions.Yeah, there's a lot of assumptions.

Yeah.

Well, this is why in the Science Museum in Boston, Bozeman, Montana.We talked about this before.I went there with my kids once and they have a raptor.And on one side of the raptor, it's what we think of like from Jurassic Park, that it had like scaly skin like a lizard.And the other side, it's covered in feathers.It's a bird.

Which is, yeah, this is the alternative perspective.This is Gus, the most complete.T -Rex skeleton, 61 % complete, and it is for sale right now.Oh, how much does that cost?You want to guess?20 million.

Yeah, no, no, no, more, more.You're taking, it's, the bids are going up.80 million.Yeah, I mean, that's the, I think the expected is somewhere in the 65 to 80 million range.Whoa.

Worth it.And it's 60 % complete?

61%, yeah.

So that means you're getting 39 % bullshit when you buy it?

I think they've just left some of it out.Oh.They filled it in.

Oh, okay.So that's what's left.So there's some stuff missing?He doesn't have his little arms.He does.They're right there.

See, there's some...Okay, some stuff?

Yeah.

Some ribs and shit?That looks pretty...I don't know, it looks pretty complete.That looks pretty complete.That's sick.There was a house that I looked at that was for sale in Malibu once.

And in the house, it came with a dinosaur.If you paid an extra million dollars, you get to keep the dinosaur.Really?Yeah, they had a raptor skeleton.

That seems expensive.

It was a little high.A little high.Well, the house was a little high.It's probably worth 50 bucks now.Nobody wants to live there.

I think a lot of times about what it would feel like to be hunted from the sky.Right, the pterodactyls.

Yeah.

Sometimes you'll be hiking in the desert and you'll see a hawk will fly over you and you'll get that shadow.

Yeah.

And just imagine if it's just this massive hunter just coming for you.There's nothing you can do.

Right.When do those die off too?Gus has some bite marks on his ribs.

Whoa.

That's crazy.

I wonder if that's postmortem.fossilized bite marks.

Yeah, that could have been somebody scavenging them.

Yeah, could have been.So it's valued between $20 million and $30 million, the highest pre -sale estimate ever placed on a dinosaur at auction.

Yeah, I think there's already some higher bids than that, though, currently.

I bet.There's a lot of dorks out there with a lot of money who want that shit in their house.

People love to touch history.
