Exploring the mysteries of our past, civilizations, cataclysms, and what it all means for us today
I recently held a Livestream on my YouTube channel, sharing footage and some thoughts on new observations from a recent trip to Egypt.
I do occasional livestreams on my Youtube channel, but I stream regularly over on twitch, 2 or 3 times a week, at least when I’m in the country at home! Check out the twitch channel at https://twitch.tv/unchartedx
Evidence exists for a number of truly colossal statues that existed during the Ancient Egyptian Civilization. Carved from single solid pieces of granite, or conglomerate quartzite, several of these behemoths weighed in at 1000 tons and more. Some were transported more than 1000km from their original quarries, and the remaining fragments display amazingly fine details and features. A true logistical and technological challenge.
Could these statues, as well as smaller examples that display other aspects of lost ancient technology, have been inherited by the Dynastic Egyptian Civilization? Might they have formed the basis for the iconic artwork, style and culture of the civilization that we are all familiar with today? Why do we see a tale of two industries, primitive and advanced, in so many categories of Ancient Egyptian artifacts?
Join me as we explore these questions, and examine the evidence for truly colossal remains of ancient Egyptian statues, and forms of lost ancient technology, far beyond that which can be achieved by the tools and techniques that exist in the archaeological record.

New video!
Randall Carlson joins me for his 3rd appearance on the UnchartedX Podcast!
We get into a discussion on the academic history of geology, the science behind the younger dryas, and the mechanics of the megafloods of the channeled scablands in the pacific northwest, the tumultuous climate and rise in sea levels during that period and the effects it would have had on any people in affected regions.
Since my last video on Tiwanaku and Puma Punku, I’ve been looking forward to an opportunity to share some of my findings with Randall, and to quiz him about the possible connections between Arthur Posnansky’s research on the geological history of that region and the younger dryas period, which we get into.
Then Randall takes us through an utterly fascinating discussion of the prevalence of precessional numerology in history, and how it all connects between astronomical cycles, the measures of time and space, and the possibility of a common source that has driven this data down through time, cultures, religions and legends – I did my best to keep up with him and there was definitely some ‘mind blown’ moments in there for me.

Last week I joined Danny at the excellent Koncrete Podcast for an in-studio, long form discussion on all things lost ancient technology – we went for more than 3 hours! It premiered today on the Koncrete channel.
Watch here: https://youtu.be/efjgHYibTH8
I’d highly recommend checking out some of Danny’s other guests (Randall Carlson was on the show recently) and he brings a background in cinematography with a great studio setup for high production value in his work. Hope you all enjoy the chat!
Cheers,
Ben
All my videos can now also be found on Spotify! The channel is called ‘UnchartedX Videos’ and here’s a link to the show page: https://open.spotify.com/show/2JfszzWeJkVtqH7SEiglSY?si=a4d5c7f7120b41e1
Note that this is DIFFERENT to the ‘UnchartedX Podcast’ – that is my audio only podcast, which will continue as it’s own entity.
So in summary, my videos will be available on YouTube, Spotify (and of course here on this website), and the UnchartedX Podcast is hosted right here (via the podcast link at the top of the page) and available through most podcast libraries, including Spotify and iTunes.
Cheers!
A promo video and highlights for an upcoming adventure! Join us as we delve into the mysteries of our cataclysmic past – in an exploration of the mega-flood landscapes of the Channeled Scablands of Eastern Washington state, happening this September (and May 2023)! Details at https://contactatthecabin.com/scablands-with-randall-carlson/ .
Presented by Randall Carlson, Brad Young, The Brothers of the Serpent, The Grimerica Show, with special guests David Mathisen, Brandon Powell and Ben from UnchartedX (me!) these trips are a great week getting into the geological, archaeological, and paleontological details of the cataclysmic past of humanity. Daily field trips to geologically significant locations, evening lectures and sessions on a wide variety of topics, Wim Hof breath sessions, and the occasional jam session make up a fun week based out of Soap Lake Resort in Eastern Washington state.

I recently joined Jeremy Nell of the Jerm Warfare podcast on both his TNT radio show and podcast – they were both fun conversations!

Unique amongst ancient megalithic sites, the twin locations of Tiahuanaco and Puma Punku, located high on the Altiplano of Bolivia, represent an enduring mystery for the history of human civilizations. The true age of these ruins has always been a controversial topic, and the man responsible for 50 years of primary excavation and research here, Professor Arthur Posnansky, used a multi-disciplinary approach to conclude that they originated more than 10,000 years ago. Unsurprisingly, this date is dismissed by mainstream archaeology -but just how valid is this dismissal? And what is the evidence behind the claims?
Years in the making, this video investigates the claims behind the age of these enigmatic locations – and to understand if Tiahuanaco was, as Posnansky termed it, the Cradle of American Man.

Hi All, I hope everyone is doing well!
While I’m working on the research and script for the next video, I thought I’d share a recent podcast that I did with my friends Kyle and Russ Allen, the hosts of the Brothers of the Serpent show.
Cheers!

Good news for anyone wanting to visit Egypt this year! I will be joining my good friend, expert guide and stonemason Yousef Awyan for an additional trip to Egypt in October of this year!
All details, registration, and the full itinerary can be found at the Khemitology website here: https://www.khemitology.com/primordial-egypt-tour/
For registration, use the registration link on the same site, here: https://www.khemitology.com/tour-registration/ – just select ‘Primordial Egypt’ from the drop down list.
With the November UnchartedX tour sold out months ago (and a waitlist of interested people), Yousef invited me to come on his October Egypt tour, an offer than I gladly accepted! This will give anyone who is keen to visit Egypt this year with us a chance to do so. Prices in Egypt are going up due to inflation, so the best time to go on a bucket list adventure like this falls into the ‘as soon as possible’ category.
This trip is similar to the one I have planned for November, but not exactly the same. It includes visits to many of the same sites, and (my favorite part) a 4 night Nile Cruise. We’re using a different hotel in Cairo, and there are less special permissions, which is reflected in the lower price for this October tour. We will end the trip with a Private Visit into the Great Pyramid, with all the chambers open for a full exploration, something not to be missed.
Please note that the new Grand Museum is not expected to be open until November – but we will visit the amazing Cairo Museum, one of the highlights of any visit to Egypt and long established as one of the best museums in the world.
