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.

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.
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!
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.
A video that I’ve been meaning to release for several years now – this is the full length sit down interview discussing the many mysteries of the Ancient Egyptian civilization with experts Yousef Awyan and Mohammed Ibrahim.
We filmed this in Egypt, in Yousef’s family store, in 2016. Yousef and Mohammed are experts in the ancient Egpytian civilization, their language, stonework, architecture and the history of discoveries made in this remarkable place. It was a fascinating discussion that covered a lot of ground, and I’ve broken up the interview into chapters that cover different topics.
A quick heads up that today in a few hours at 2PM PST I’ll be going live on YouTube for a tour through the enigmatic Osirion structure of Ancient Egypt!
We’ll be exploring it’s features, mysteries, history and some of the claims made about it. You can join us for the live chat here: https://youtu.be/BcoAslMFHC0
Was the mighty 1100+ ton Unfinished Granite Obelisk at Aswan Quarry carved with dollarite pounding stones? What about the mysterious scoop marks found here? A special, in-depth investigation into the history, claims and science surrounding this mysterious site.
After years of visiting the Quarry, and utilizing some new technology, we take a deep dive into these topics and make some new observations – leading to some remarkable possibilities that impact our understanding of ancient civilizations, and the technology they used.

Here’s the link to the podcast episode on spotify – and below that is the audio hosted on youtube, check it out if you’re interested!
The cause of the limestone erosion of the walls of the Sphinx Enclosure (and that of the Sphinx itself) has long been the subject of debate, as it has a significant impact on the true age of the Great Sphinx itself – and the civilization that originally built it.
But what is far less often discussed is just how much erosion of the stone walls has taken place – or how long the erosive processes might have taken to get to where they are today. Join Randall Carlson in a guest appearance on UnchartedX, as he investigates these issues, and we take a look at scientific studies on just how long this sort of limestone erosion might have taken – and what it might mean for the true age of the Great Sphinx.
Very happy to say that my collaboration with the excellent AfterSkool Channel is now live on Youtube. It’s a re-working of my video on the case for re-writing history. It was a real privilege to work with this channel, I’ve been a fan for a long while and they’re very talented. Hope you enjoy – new video coming to my channel today or tomorrow!
