Brothers of the Serpent

We open the show with some snakenews about how scientists are going to touch the sun from behind a supershield from 4 million miles away. We talk about the superstition of "knock on wood" and where it came from, and Russ reads an article on Ouija and then flips out about bananas, which Brett explains is a berry that grows on an herb that looks like a tree with potatoes for roots. After that, we talk again about doppler and redshift and how the universe is probably not what we think it is.

After a quick mention of the Lavanado in Hawaii being even more terrifying than a Sharknado, we will have been going to eventually then diving into a discussion about retrocausality and its wider implications for how it does previously later affect our future past actions. Once after we have will be finished that topic, we finally did eventually get our timeline straight by reading an article about the ancient Sumerian Kings List, which leads into a discussion on possible precessional clues and longevity of the gods and space genes. We finish out the episode discussing the carbon cycle and the fact that so much benefit to the biosphere has been shown to take place by increasing CO2 levels and thus massively increasing the awesomeness of plant life.

We begin by determining the plausibility of excited soccer fans in Mexico causing a 2.0 richter earthquake by converting the total energy of the earthquake into equivalent Black Cat explosions and dividing that into the estimated number of excited soccer fans. At roughly 72 Black Cats per fan, we here at SnakeBros have deemed that this is a plausible explanation(given the estimated number of tacos and nachos consumed prior to the goal being made). Kyle then reads several excerpts from Forgotten Civilizations, starting a whole conversation about electromagnetic fields and giant blocks and glowing crystal obelisks and the Yuga cycle and longheads and Vimana and secret Nepha spaceships and space genes and smartwater and basically that magnets can help you read minds and explode meteors over Russia and build pyramids and grow space genes. Also, Dolmens are involved. Somehow. Anyway hopefully you still have your appendix. Enjoy the show.

After reading an excellent email from Mr. England about the simulation hypothesis, Russ reads a section from Dolmens: Part 2 in an attempt to show why he didn't understand wtf the author was trying to say even though it's clear the author does know a hell of a lot about those dolmen.....things. Kyle reads an excerpt from Dr. Robert Schoch's book Forgotten Civilizations about 12ft giants on Easter Island that moved the Moai statues by the simple expedient of allowing the volcano to explode and blow them all over the island. We go through three excellent Mine The Hive articles, on the Michigan Mines, evidence of precolombian contact with the Americas, and the London Hammer. We laugh about how uniformitarians explain away the latter by totally discarding uniformitarianism.... but you know, just that one time. Which is also very un-uniformitarianesque(we are allowed to make up words here at Snakebros). We finish off the show with some select axioms about truth-seeking and conspiritards. The Newberry Tablet Newberry Tablet Script Ship Petroglyph One of the mine entrances Handprint in stone, possibly of one of the miners. The hand is....kind of large. Just sayin'

Russ starts the show with a fantastic headline from the Flat Earth Society and then proceeds to flip out about aptronyms. Kyle then reads an article that points out that humans can live on Mars provided they are in space suits. We then turn to the topic of dolmens, the fact that over 90,000 of them have been found around the world, they are precisely engineered, are of uncertain age, and have no known function. We(mostly Kyle) gives several possibilities as to the function of these mysterious ancient constructions. After explaining that we'd love for people to help us pay to go get lost and die, we wrap it up with an overview of the picture of the ancient world that we have been outlining throughout the past 52 shows. Thanks for sticking with us this far, and enjoy the show!

No description. Might be about the sun causing the last mass extinction. Listen and find out!

No description, but there is a title. It's probably about Zoroastrianism.

Kyle has been "reading" Velikovsky's "Worlds in Collision" so we spend most of the show discussing the alternate view of history Velikovsky proposes in that book, and in the fourth segment, Russ reads some excerpts from William Brambley's "Gods of Eden" regarding the medieval plagues and how those epidemics seemed to be a result of objects being seen in the sky and strange black clad figures moving through crop fields at night.

Why do ancient ruins align astronomically, or incorporate fundamental universal constants such as π(Pi) or φ(Phi)? Why was world-changing, mind-opening knowledge made esoteric, concealed behind symbols in stories and works of art? Why do so many ancient ruins appear like mysterious puzzles, with clear traces of technology but unfathomable function? Why are pyramids so cool and who the fuck builds a stonehenge? These are some of the questions we completely fail to answer on this episode, continuing our discussion from previous episodes, stemming from Kyle's perusal of the Book of Enoch(by Enoch). References in the notes of that hoary tome led Russ to acquire Megalithic Architects Book 1: Thoth, the Architect of the Universe, by Ralph Ellis, a book that is concerned mostly with ancient metrology, or systems and units of measure. Why couldn't the ancients just use the metric system like normal, sane people who find simple arithmetic understanding like nine equals 3/4ths of 12 (9in. is 3/4 of one ft) too hard? Why are there three feet in a yard when we only have two feet? Why aren't inches called toes and why are there twelve in a foot when we only have ten, five to a foot? And which yard are they talking about anyway, the front or the back? We don't know the answers to these questions. Maybe the ancients hadn't "progressed" to the point where they needed to use fingers and toes to help them do basic arithmetic. That's evolution for ya, baby. We talk about all these things and more on this episode. Enjoy! P. S. To all you Metric System devotees out there: How long is a parking meter?

We emerge puffy-faced and bleary-eyed from a five-day internet blackout, unbathed, unshaven, clothes worn ragged on our backs, only to realize it's Tuesday and thus time to record a podcast. Having been able to do no research at all because of the blackout, we decide that it doesn't really matter because we've never done research for these shows anyway. But Kyle recalls something from ancient times that may help us, an archaic alchemical practice involving the use of caustic acids to acquire organic fibres extracted from certain deciduous growths, which are then embedded within the matrix of a special resin aggregate. This is followed by the precise and minute application of a special solution comprised of a mixture of obscure dark powders from deep in the Punjab in India, which are completely dissolved into carefully filtered and distilled alcohol. When this is done properly, beneath the light of a waxing gibbous harvest moon, with the precise performance of all ritual movements, burnt sacrifices, and praises raised to the dark gods of hidden knowledge, the result is an actual physical object shaped like a small box, which contains within it all manner of complex and secret knowledge and practices. This thing, which the ancients were aware of and of which they made plenty, was called a "book". Mind => Blown So the first two segments are spent discussing the contents of a book Kyle has been going through(a little number some of you might be familiar with called "The Book of Enoch", by Enoch) as well as a book Russ has been studying(called "The Velikovsky Heresies" by Laird Scranton). Actually, the discussion was supposed to be focused on the Book of Enoch, but Russ keeps bringing up the Velikovsky Heresies almost as if he's trying to say "Hey, look, I can read books too" or something. For the second hour our longstanding resident Show Observer and Fact Checker extraordinaire, Mr. Brett England, B. Sci, EMT, MiB, WtF etc etc joins us in-studio because the conversation wasn't confusing enough in the first two segments. The three of us ponder the origins of the esoteric traditions and make fun of materialists before moving, in the final segment, to a minor expose on the strange subject of Zoroastrianism and their singular god of the winged disk and small asian cars, Ahura Mazda. The Book of Bigoted Old Shaman Kyle's phone reads this to him at work The 50th Parallel is the curved red line crossing the upper part of the map The ruins in a Siberian lake Ahura Mazda: The Man in the Winged Disc Being depicted on cylinder seals makes Ahura Mazda most happy
