Lance Weaver is a geologist, desert guide, and amateur archaeologist who explores alternative narratives of history since the last ice age. We catch up about new developments in his pole shift research before diving into his paleoarchaeological research on pre-Columbian contact between the Mediterranean and Meso-American cultures. Along the way we wrestle with convergent iconography on both sides of the ocean, bird gods with handbags, anomalous Sumerian artifacts, the true location of Babylon, and the Sons of Light.

When not talking to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Michael Shilo also did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various universities. - Blog: http://DemystifySci.com/blog - RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rss - Donate: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaD - Swag: https://bit.ly/2PXdC2y SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/ - Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySci MUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671
