He explores the massive migrations of ancient humans and their cultural imprint through celestial maps of meaning. In the podcast, Taylor talks about the connection between animal migration patterns and solar and lunar cycles, the controversial discovery of Keniluk Man, the importance of passing on traditional knowledge, the influence of lunar cycles on migratory patterns, and the encoding of ancient myths with Native American astronomy.
