Walter Cruttenden, Author and Director of the Binary Research Institute, discusses ancient cosmology and astronomy. Topics include ancient cultures' understanding of celestial cycles, the Antikythera Mechanism, ancient city alignments with constellations, and harnessing energy with ancient structures. They also explore the concept of cycles in history and its influence on consciousness, ancient stories about technology, and the importance of mythology in understanding human history.
Ancient cultures believed in the cycles of ages, which affect human consciousness and technological development.
Ancient Greek technology included the sophisticated Antikythera Mechanism, used to calculate celestial cycles.
Mythology and ancient lore provide insights into the relationship between cosmic cycles and human consciousness.

Heart Failure and its Impact on Women and Minority Communities
The podcast episode explores the specific impact of heart failure on women and black and Hispanic communities. It emphasizes the need to recognize and address the delays in diagnosis that can occur when individuals do not fit the typical profile of a heart failure patient. The speaker emphasizes the importance of treating symptoms consistently for all individuals, regardless of age, race, or gender.
Ancient Cosmology and the Influence of Planets on Earth
The podcast episode delves into the understanding of ancient cultures about the cosmos and the impact of planets on Earth. It highlights the belief of ancients in the procession of the equinox, which leads to different ages or epochs. The speaker discusses the idea that the cycles of these ages affect human consciousness and technological development. The episode explores the connection between ancient structures, such as pyramids, and the subtle energies they harness and transmit.
The Antikythera Mechanism and Ancient Technology
The podcast episode introduces the Antikythera Mechanism, an ancient computer-like device discovered in 1900. The speaker explains that the mechanism's intricate gears and parts were used to calculate and predict celestial cycles, such as the positions of the sun, moon, and planets. The episode highlights the sophistication of ancient Greek technology and suggests that the Greeks likely inherited the mechanism from an earlier civilization. The speaker also mentions ongoing research and discoveries related to the Antikythera Mechanism.
The Cycle of Ages and Consciousness Evolution
The podcast episode explores the concept of the cycle of ages, as believed by various ancient cultures. It discusses the idea that human consciousness and civilization go through periods of rising and declining energies in accordance with these ages. The speaker explains how different ages are associated with different levels of awareness, from primitive perception to higher consciousness. The episode delves into the potential implications of understanding and aligning with these cycles for personal and societal growth.
Ancient Stories and Paradigm Shifts
Ancient stories suggest the existence of advanced technologies, such as space annihilators and time travel. These stories, although futuristic, provide potential insights into future developments and paradigms. The exploration of these stories requires an open mind and a willingness to comprehend and make sense of such advanced concepts.
Mythology and Cosmic Cycles
Mythology and ancient lore frequently contain deep knowledge about celestial motions and cycles. These civilizations show an awareness of celestial phenomena such as the Earth's rotation, orbit around the Sun, and the procession of the equinox. The connection between celestial motions and cycles is a core aspect of many ancient myths, offering insights into the relationship between cosmic cycles and human consciousness.
Walter Cruttenden, studies ancient cosmology and astronomy. As Director of the Binary Research Institute, he writes on the cause and consequences of solar system motion. He founded the Conference on Precession and Ancient Knowledge series to bring together liked minded philosophers and scientists, and explore the possibility that the mythical cycle of the ages, a.k.a. Plato’s Great Year, may have a basis in fact, “driven by the solar system’s motion through space”.This is the topic of his first book, Lost Star of Myth and Time, his documentary, The Great Year, narrated by James Earl Jones, and many of his seventy two Cosmic Influence podcasts.Lost Star Productions, is in development on a live action feature film based on Walter’s work, and in pre-development on an animated film based on his second book, The Great Year Adventures with Tommy the Time-Traveling-Turtle. Both are aimed at uplifting children of all ages!
