Taking a close tour of 3 enigmatic sites in Peru: Ollantaytambo, The Coricancha (the megalithic structure in the heart of Cusco) and the rarely visited Temple of the Moon! Thanks again to Kyle and Russ, the Brothers of the Serpent, for joining me in this video review.

A conversation with Hugh Newman of Megalithomania!

We get into a variety of topics, stone circles, giants, druidic traditions and the origins of humanity, amongst others.

Set to footage from Hugh as well as my own, I very much enjoyed the chance to meet and talk with Hugh, and we’ll get together again on future swapcasts, I hope you enjoy the podcast!

Some remarkable new evidence for micron-level precision in ancient stonework has been unearthed by a recently released documentary called ‘Builders of the Ancient Mysteries.’ or ‘BAM’ for short.

Scientific examination conducted by the team using modern technology at some of the most famous ancient sites, like Puma Punku, the Serapeum of Saqqara, and the Barbara caves of India has moved the entire discussion around ancient precision and technology forward.

In this video I get into some of these findings, give my review of the documentary, and share some extended highlights from my interview with its director, Patrice Pouillard, the same man behind the well known film ‘Revelation of the Pyramids.’

Our full, nearly 3 hour discussion is available at the UnchartedX podcast, links are below, or just hit Podcast in the top menu!

A video podcast exploring inside and out of the mighty 2nd pyramid at Giza, attributed to Khafre, and known as the Mountain of the West. I’m joined by Kyle and Russ (Brother’s of the Serpent) as well as Chuck from the excellent cfapps7865 channel.

Exploring the ancient Serapeum of Saqqara with the Brothers of the Serpent! Kyle, Russ and I watch and discuss my raw footage of a visit to the ancient and enigmatic set of underground tunnels and alcoves that house 24 massive, precision carved granite boxes. Each box, and lid, is carved as a single piece from the same block of stone. Some weigh a combined 100 tons, and all are housed in a bedrock tunnel system beneath the sands of Saqqara – a famous necropolis of Old Kingdom Ancient Egypt.

An examination of the most precisely made granite object that has come from Ancient Egypt! A precision carved box housed deep underground, we get into the details of the site, the box, its history and discovery by Flinders Petrie.

I also give you some thoughts as to why I don’t believe this object, nor any of the granite objects of ancient Egypt, are made from geopolymer, or some form of ancient concrete!

Many thanks to Mark and Jahannah from the UnchartedX Egypt trip for sharing some of their footage and images with me! Check out Jahannah’s channel, she is making excellent vlogs from the trip: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN2Z_nuG5XtVnE998unA3PA

Hello everyone – I hope this update finds you well! If you’ve been following me on twitter or instagram you’ll know that we’ve just wrapped up what was a very busy, and very rewarding tour of Egypt that took place over the last couple of weeks.  I wanted to get a quick video out while I’m still here – as I write this, it is slowly uploading to my youtube channel, it’s now late during my last evening in Egypt.

I also wanted to let channel supporters know that I have a special exclusive video coming – during the tour we managed to spend a couple of hours on a zoom call with the one and only Randall Carlson, a real treat for everyone on the trip. I recorded the session, and as once I get home and have some time to correct a couple of the audio issues I will be uploading the full conversation as a supporter-exclusive video.

My apologies if I’ve been unable to respond quickly while I’ve been travelling here in Egypt, it really has been a very busy tour for me! I will get back to everyone who has reached out once I get back to the home studio – and I’ve got a lot of content to make. Some more updates on that in this video:

Descending into the subterranean chamber of the Great Pyramid of Giza! A quick video I wanted to share while still here in Egypt – my footage from the descending passageway and into the deep subterranean chamber, in the bedrock beneath the Great Pyramid. Accessed as part of our 2-hour private visit into the structure during the 2020 UnchartedX tour of Egypt.

An interview with Yousef Awyan, stonemason, guide and musician, where we discuss many topics around the mysteries and technologies of Ancient Egypt.

a quick correction: I know I spelled ‘Gobekli’ incorrectly in the bit where i was searching for it on the wiki article about the Sphinx Erosion theory. It doesn’t matter as it doesn’t appear even with the correct spelling – that capture was done in a hurry at the end of my production and I was attempting to replicate a search I had made earlier! here is a screenshot showing that not even ‘gob’ appears on that article
