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.

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.

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!

This is a redux of my original channel introduction video – the UPDATED case for re-writing history!   

I had always wanted to fix a few things with the older video, so I re-wrote and recorded the script, updated the visuals, and generally made myself a little happier with it.

Rare footage, exploring the tunnels and catacombs beneath the sands of Ancient Egypt – a journey into the bedrock below the Step Pyramid of Saqqara!

Home to the discovery of more than 40,000 of the remarkable machined hard stone vases from the earliest parts of the Ancient Egyptian Civilization. More than 5 kilometers of passages and shafts have been carved deep into the ground below Pharoah Djoser’s Step Pyramid, and there are still many signs of ancient machined artifacts, including something in the lower levels that I don’t think has ever been documented publically before!

Join me as we explore these mysteries and go on a visit into this remarkable and ancient place, only recently opened to groups with ‘special permission’ access.

The world of podcasting has been through something of a recent renovation – primarily thanks to Adam Curry (of the excellent ‘No Agenda’ podcast) and Dave Jones. Along with updating the namespace and RSS specification, they have also created https://podcastindex.org – a truly independent index of podcasts.

The advances here have much to do with the functional aspects of how podcasting works. Podcasting in general is at risk of censorship and ‘corporate’ oversight, as the largest current indexes of podcasts are run by Apple iTunes and Spotify. Apple has certainly been notable in recent years for censoring or outright canceling certain voices (ahem, Alex Jones…), and I’ve read plenty of articles reporting on the ‘woke’ staff at Spotify spitting the dummy when Joe Rogan dares to have on a guest who espouses opinions outside the bounds of their ‘tolerant’ political echo chamber.

So, having an independent index is a good thing, and Curry’s podcastindex (and the man himself) are, much as I am, committedly against the idea of censoring or ‘cancelling’ anyone. The correct response to speech that you don’t like is more speech – or being an adult and realizing that not everyone is always going to see things the same way you do, and you’re free to be offended, or even to simply ignore it!

My background before doing this crazy content creator caper was in IT, and I began in programming, so with the UnchartedX podcast I maintain and write my rss feed myself – it’s hosted on this website, as are all the mp3s of the actual podcasts. You can find them via the menu at the top of the page. I also add my feed to the big aggregators, Spotify, iTunes, and of course it’s in the new Podcasting 2.0 index.

One of the most interesting innovations in the Podcasting 2.0 namespace update is adding in the <value> tag. This allows listeners (who are using Podcasting 2.0 compatible apps to listen) to send microtransactions of crypto currencies to support show creators – which today is bitcoins, or rather satoshis (known as ‘sats,’ a 100 millionth of a bitcoin) over the ‘lightning’ transaction network. The namespace further allows the automatic split of any proceeds between hosts, or even in individual episodes, between hosts and guests. All baked into the standard! Sounds complicated? Not really, just use one of the Podcasting 2.0 compliant apps to listen to your favorite podcast, and send them some sats, the standard will take care of the rest. You can find a list of compliant apps at https://newpodcastapps.com .

If you’re interested in adding the new podcasting tags to your podcast’s RSS feed, you can find the spec here: https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/blob/main/docs/1.0.md

As of episode 25 of the UnchartedX podcast, we are also podcasting 2.0 compliant – although I’ve only just begun to play with the possibilities of the namespace changes. Exciting (and independent!) times ahead for Podcasting.
