Talking with George Howard about the Younger Dryas Cosmic Impact Hypothesis! UnchartedX Podcast #7

George Howard is a co-author of the original 2007 Younger Dryas Cosmic Impact Hypothesis peer reviewed paper and has been involved in the scientific work surrounding both the Younger Dryas and the Carolina Bays for many years. He runs the excellent website https://cosmictusk.com, and you can find him on Twitter at @cosmictusk.  

I’ve known who George is for several years, and I was excited to get the chance to meet him and talk for a while. We discuss the weight of evidence for the Impact Hypothesis and the news (or lack of it) about some of the remarkable discoveries and new papers that have come out in the last 12 months.

We talk about the Carolina Bays, and George shares an interesting new discovery,shortly to be a scientific paper, that gives new meaning to the literal destruction of Sodom in Genesis! 

Huge thanks to George for being so generous with his time!

New Video: The Curious Connection between the Great Pyramid and the Maps of the Ancient Sea-Kings

An investigation into a high-technology connection between the Great Pyramid of Giza and the mystery of the maps of the Ancient Sea Kings. Studying the dimensions of the Great Pyramid will reveal that it is chock-full of significant relationships to sacred geometry, fundamental principles of nature, and a connection to the shape and size of the Earth itself. In these aspects of it’s construction it seems to share an awareness of some of these principles with accurate segments of ancient maps, like the Piri Reis map of 1513, long considered a mystery by scholars. These maps were compiled from more ancient source maps, and not only show continents that were supposedly not discovered yet, but in their accuracy also show evidence for high technology and mathematics in the distant past, at a level well beyond the capability of ancient civilizations.

The Improbable Timeline of the Old Kingdom Mega-Pyramid Builders

The Old Kingdom period of Ancient Egypt was a truly remarkable time in history, an era of mighty mega-projects that are still standing today, achievements unsurpassed in human history. But is this really when the giant pyramids were built?

It seems to have come out of nowhere – lifting the Dynastic Egyptian Civilization from the stone-age to the advanced technology required to build of the Great Pyramid of Giza in a very short period of time. Only then to seemingly disappear again, never to be repeated, although the Egpytian civilization continued on for thousands of years.

The closer you look at this time period, the less sense it makes, and the more contradictions that appear in in the story of history. Join me as I explore the details of this lost era of history and look in detail at the improbable timeline of the Old Kingdom mega-pyramid builders.

Myths, Gods, and the Younger Dryas Cataclysm! Eye-witness accounts of cosmic disasters in our past.

An exploration of the evidence for eye-witness accounts of cosmic disasters and the great cataclysms of our past, as contained in the scriptures, myths and legends from religions and cultures around the world. Are these tales nothing but imagination? Or do they have their roots in the cosmic disasters of the ice age?

Modern scientific evidence is challenging our understanding of the true history of civilization on this planet, and remarkably, showing some of the truth that is contained in these oldest of stories. What other truths might we uncover by closely examining these tales from the past?
