A detailed look into ancient advanced technology, science, and medicine--some of which has yet to be reproduced today• Explores countless examples of ancient high tech, including robotics, artificial intelligence, aircraft, solar-powered cannons, high-speed drills, illuminated underground temples, massive refrigerators, and subterranean cities• Examines evidence of advanced medicine in ancient times• Includes examples from ancient Egypt, China, Greece, Babylon, Siberia, the Americas, and IndiaThe first self-igniting match was invented in 1805 by Jean Chancel, a French chemist. Yet, in Babylon, 3,600 years before, identical sulfur matches were in common use. On the Panchavarnaswamy Temple in India, built millennia ago, there is a detailed carving of a man on a bicycle, yet the bicycle wasn’t invented in the modern world until 1817. These inventions are only two examples of technology lost in the Dark Ages.Exploring the sophisticated tech achieved by ancient civilizations hundreds and thousands of years ago, Frank Joseph examines evidence of robotics and other forms of artificial intelligence; manned flight, such as hot-air balloons and gliders; and military science, including flamethrowers, biological warfare, poison gas, and solar-powered cannons. He reveals how ancient construction engineers excavated subterranean cities, turned stone walls into glass, lifted 100-ton blocks of granite, illuminated underground temples and pyramids, and stored their food in massive refrigerators.Examples explored in the book include the first known alarm clock, invented by Plato in 4th-century-BC Greece; 600-year-old Aztec whistles that reproduce animal sounds and human voices with uncanny accuracy; Stone Age jewelry from Siberia worked by a high-speed drill; sex robots in ancient Troy, Greece, and China; ancient Egyptian aircraft; and India’s iron pillar exposed to sixteen hundred years of monsoons but still standing rust-free. The author also explores evidence of advanced medicine in ancient times, particularly in Egypt and China, from brain surgery, optometry, and prosthetics to dentistry, magnet therapy, and cancer cures.By examining the achievements of our ancient ancestors, we can not only reverse-engineer their inventions but also learn from their civilizations’ mistakes, enabling us to avoid more dark ages. Imagine how scientifically advanced humanity would be if our early achievements had escaped destruction and been allowed to develop?Frank Joseph was the editor in chief of Ancient American magazine from 1993-2007. He is the author of several books, including Before Atlantis, Advanced Civilizations of Prehistoric America, The Lost Civilization of Lemuria, and The Lost Treasure of King Juba. He lives in the Upper Mississippi Valley.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

This riveting narrative explores the lives of six remarkable female pharaohs, from Hatshepsut to Cleopatra--women who ruled with real power--and shines a piercing light on our own perceptions of women in power today.Female rulers are a rare phenomenon--but thousands of years ago in ancient Egypt, women reigned supreme. Regularly, repeatedly, and with impunity, queens like Hatshepsut, Nefertiti, and Cleopatra controlled the totalitarian state as power-brokers and rulers. But throughout human history, women in positions of power were more often used as political pawns in a male-dominated society. What was so special about ancient Egypt that provided women this kind of access to the highest political office? What was it about these women that allowed them to transcend patriarchal obstacles? What did Egypt gain from its liberal reliance on female leadership, and could today's world learn from its example?Celebrated Egyptologist Kara Cooney delivers a fascinating tale of female power, exploring the reasons why it has seldom been allowed through the ages, and why we should care.KARA COONEY is a professor of Egyptology at UCLA. Her academic work focuses on death preparations, afterlife beliefs, and gender studies. She has participated in digs with the Metropolitan Museum of New York at the Royal Pyramid complex of Senwosret III and the Theban Necropolis with Johns Hopkins University. She appeared as a lead expert in the popular Discovery Channel special The Secrets of Egypt's Lost Queen and is a recurring team member of the History Channel's Digging for the Truth. Her book The Woman Who Would Be King was published in 2014.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

When Dinosaurs and the Expanding Earth was first published it proposed a startling idea to explain the long-standing puzzle of the dinosaurs' gigantic size. Stephen Hurrell presented scientific evidence that dinosaurs lived in a reduced gravity and this allowed them to grow to gigantic proportions. The Reduced Gravity Earth theory explains why all land-based life has shifted towards a larger scale on the ancient Earth. This includes gigantic dinosaurs, plants and insects. It is also a key piece of evidence that provides additional support for an Expanding Earth, something a few leading geologists have been suggesting for decades. Since its initial unveiling, the Reduced Gravity Earth theory has been widely discussed and debated. Individuals from laymen to professors are now arguing that gravity was lower on the ancient Earth. You can analyse the evidence for believing the controversial Reduced Gravity Earth theory and its implications for the Expanding Earth in this third edition of Dinosaurs and the Expanding Earth.Praise for previous editions of Dinosaurs and the Expanding Earth'something completely different ... an original work rather than a re-presentation of existing knowledge ... well presented.' GEOLOGY TODAY - Blackwell Science Ltd.'Engineers (Hurrell) have shown that dinosaurs' bones could not have borne their weight ... much reduced surface gravity is essential for dinosaurs to have existed.' Professor S. Warren Carey, University of Tasmania.'... written in a plain straightforward style and its target is a wide public not interested in specialist treatises. Its clear and lively descriptions lead the reader straight to the core of the arguments. ... could well be the topics of joint scientific collaboration between engineers and paleontologists.' ANNALS OF GEOPHYSICSStephen W. Hurrell was a Design Engineer working at the UK's Electricity Research Centre when he first became interested in the structural strength of dinosaurs. This developed into the concept of a Reduced Gravity Earth and a life long interest in developing various methods to calculate palaeogravity. He has interacted with many Earth expansionists to argue that palaeogravity must be related to Earth expansion and this implies it was caused by the mass increase of the Earth. He has written the book, Dinosaurs and the Expanding Earth and edited The Hidden History of Earth Expansion. He has also given presentations and written a number of articles about his interests.

Rory Duff began his working life as a Geologist on the gold mines in Africa. After a moment of synchronicity and learning about the Austrian mystic Rudolf Steiner, he moved back to the UK where he pursued a career in Coaching and Training. In the last 5 years, he switched to researching Geobiology – the study of how the Earth affects life.Rory is one of the leading pioneers in the World in the understanding of Leylines and Earth Energies and how their frequencies can be highly beneficial as well as dangerous. He came up with the first-ever classification of Earth Energies which is now used by thousands of people around the World. He has mapped more of these lines around the World than anyone else by a long way and he was the first to fully map all the major energy lines that could be found over an area of 200 square kilometers – something that took him an hour a day for six years.Rory was also the first person to rediscover the most powerful lines in the World – The Emperor Dragons. There are only six pairs and one pair runs across the USA. In his talks, he explains how and why these particular lines come and go over the centuries and the effect that this has on mankind. It was these studies that led him to find the link with the Knights Templar and their most sacred location.In addition to that, he is the first person to ever offer up a viable scientific hypothesis as to what these energies are and how they are generated within the Earth and how this links with the Universal consciousness. This is explained in an easy to understand manner in his seminars.Following up on synchronicities, he came across some practically unknown Templar chapels with some exceptionally strange symbols that had never before been deciphered. This led him to produce his highly successful documentary Holy Grail Found and the popular books Grail Found and Grail Bound. The latter resulted on following up further synchronicity about a common link running through some of the most significant prophecies in the World. His mission in life now is to stay on his vocational path. He says that this seems, at the moment, to be leading him to raise awareness of the main Energy lines and to help get people gathering at their key sacred sites all around the country four times a year. These are the harmony times when all the Earth Energies move at the same frequency. He now considers that group prayer and meditation on these harmony times is intimately linked with the rise of the divine feminine and a coming rebalancing.He now senses that this is perhaps the one and only thing left for humanity in order to overcome the problems in the World’s which, when we succeed, will allow us to usher in to a new Golden Age – just as many of the prophecies predict.Rory has been married for 31 years and has two sons in their late 20’s. He and his wife live near the city of Bath in the UK.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

What if the "aliens" are not from other planets? In THE CRYPTOTERRESTRIALS, Mac Tonnies proposes that at least some accounts of alien visitation can be attributed to a humanoid species indigenous to the Earth, a sister race that has adapted to our numerical superiority by developing a surprisingly robust technology. At the same time, this groundbreaking work attempts to reconcile the mythological and contemporary accounts of "little people" into a coherent picture. "For too long, we've called them 'aliens,' assuming that we represent our planet's best and brightest," writes Tonnies. "Maybe that's exactly what they want us to think."Mac Tonnies (20 August 1975 – 22 October 2009) was an American author and blogger whose work focused on futurology, transhumanism and paranormal topics. Tonnies grew up in Independence, Missouri, and attended William Chrisman High School and Ottawa University. He lived in Kansas City, Missouri.Nicholas "Nick" Redfern (born 1964) is a British best-selling author, journalist, cryptozoologist and ufologist.Redfern is an active advocate of official government disclosure of UFO information, and has worked to uncover thousands of pages of previously classified Royal Air Force, Air Ministry and Ministry of Defence files on unidentified flying objects (UFOs) dating from the Second World War from the Public Record Office and currently[when?] works as a feature writer and contributing editor for Phenomena magazine.His 2005 book, Body Snatchers in the Desert: The Horrible Truth at the Heart of the Roswell Story, purports to show that the Roswell crash may have been military aircraft tests using Japanese POWs, suffering from progeria or radiation effectsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

The evidences from historical record, legends and myths are shouting that it wasn’t aliens, that the advanced technologies are echoes of a human society we do not have a written record of. We have the remnants of their buildings, genes, and the sciences that point to a highly advanced human race that survived multiple catastrophes and to this day may live among us. Human bones have been found back millions of years along side the homo erectus and other “primitive” humans. Many revelations of high technology have been being uncovered by independent researchers all over the earth. Anomalies in the historical record, out of place, out of time artifacts are labeled as mysteries or one offs yet show signs of advanced sciences and intelligence. Ancient maps showing lands that were not supposed to have been known, let alone covered deep in ice for thousands of years before human civilization. The case is evaporating of the timeline given for modern man being here for only 3 or 400,000 years.Taking the reader through many fast advances recently in technology and looking at archaeological evidences we build a case for that lost society and technologies. Looking further at rediscoveries of the world of movement, fitness, discoveries in eating and super human abilities and finds in our very genes that without a doubt show us that we have highly advanced ancient relatives. Amazingly illustrated with over 200 photos, this book truly takes you on a journey.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.
