Brothers of the Serpent

What's a show about fringe science, alternative cosmologies, ancient mysteries, and snakes without some good ole' Chinese Dragons surfing the enormous Universe-Waves of the Cosmic Æther while Thunderbolts of the Gods flash between planets/stars/galaxies keeping those islands of light and warmth energized as oases against the Stygian Darkness of the in-between, where nothing is, yet from whence all nightmares come; without Pyramids as Catalysts for a gold-dust Tesla-inspired Supershield against the catastrophic chaos of intra-solar gravito-electric regime-change and shifting plasma sheaths of suns, without the ponderous zodiacal Wheel of Time spinning backward in prediction of all things future? Nothing, that's what. But this show, ladies and gentlemen, delivers. 'Nuff said. Enjoy. Pics because it happened. Below is a selection from the Arp Catalogue of Peculiar Galaxies:                                       Plasma forms that ancient man may have seen in the skies. The one on the left in particular may be the origin of the "crouching shaman" shape below.      More plasma forms   Ancient Chinese Seismoscope. The spheres held in the dragons' mouths would drop into the mouths of the frogs, indicating the direction of an earthquake.    Seismoscope was invented by this guy, who probably only invented things like seismoscopes in his spare time away from being a wispy bearded kung fu badass.      The Carolina Bays   This sizable bay is referred to as "Grass Lake" by the indigenous suburbanite natives in the area   LIDAR scan showing the landscape covered in the elliptical shapes of the bays Map of the eastern and central US, showing locations of known bay structures, and their common origin in the great lakes becomes clear  

We have two guests joining us from MineTheHive for this episode, so we talk about their experiences with lucid dreaming and out-of-body/astral travel, and that leads to sleep paralysis and aliens and eventually, pyramids. If there's one thing we've learned doing SnakeBros, it's that everything eventually comes back to pyramids. Which in this particular case is good because, this being episode 42, the theme was "Life, The Universe, and Everything", and since everything eventually comes back to pyramids, we just talk about pyramids for the rest of the show and call it good. But while we're talking about pyramids we also ask our guests about the website and why they decided to build it, what the name means, and where did their interest in these topics originate. In the second half of the show, we continue talking about everything(pyramids) and about the interesting fact that so many ancient and mysterious sites have unfinished blocks or statues or obelisks in the associated quarries, and how that may be a kind of "signature" of the lost civilization that (hypothetically) built so many of these sites.     Stone of the Pregnant Woman, Ba'albek, Lebanon. Until recently, this was the largest known cut stone block in the world. Estimates range from 1000-1400 tons. That's up to 2.8 million pounds.    More recent photo. Block from the first pic is the one on top. It is sitting on top of two more giant blocks that are even larger, estimates range between 1400-1800 tons, or up to 3.6 million pounds.   Stone of the South. Somewhere between the Ba'albek quarry and the Ba'albek ruins, like it was in the process of being moved but something caused the work to stop, and it was never started back up. The lines and notches in the block are from people much more recently using the block itself as a quarry.    The Unfinished Obelisk at Aswan Quarry, Egypt. This is the place where a lot of the high-quartz-content granite used in many ancient monuments in Egypt came from, the famous "pink granite" of Aswan. This obelisk is enormous, as can be seen by the size of the people standing on it. It is more than one third larger than the largest known standing obelisk.    Yangshan Quarry, China. This is one of three gigantic objects in the quarry, supposedly parts of a stele that was going to be erected in a nearby city but these were abandoned as being far too large to be actually moved. We find this very hard to believe. That is a lot of work and a huge mistake, no pun intended. Another part of the "abandoned stele" in Yangshan Quarry. Seems like somebody should have figured out "this is waaaaaay too big guys" long before they did so much work. You know?  Huge unfinished Moai at Easter Island.  Some of the enigmatic stone spheres of Costa Rica. The large ones are more than 8 ft. in diameter, and they are all geometrically perfect spheres.     The weird crystal cube bowl gear thingies from the Giza plateau. 

We start this episode by giving props to Flat Earther Mike Hughes for his ingenuity and attempting to find out the truth for himself, and also for the enormous cojones required to launch oneself towards outer space in a steam powered home made rocket, because holy fucking shit that is awesome.    After briefly mentioning a few more Weird News stories, we read an excellent article from MineTheHive about a very strange site in China that may be remnants of ancient technology upwards of 150,000 years old, then segue smoooooothly into the main topic of this episode, which is Kyle's developing ideas regarding the ancient sites around the world that are referred to as places where "men became gods". We finish the show by detailing the very strange and infamous incident at Dyatlov Pass, a topic that came up because a hiker has been reported missing out there just last week.

We brave a Tangent Cube full of Trolls, Bad Dad Jokes and restless dogs to bring you Episode 40 on the Vernal Equinox, and a continuation of our discussion about ancient astronomy and our work on the Great Texinian Hill Henge Project which we broke ground on early this morning, using the equinoctial dawn to locate True East, and from there, the other three cardinal directions. We also installed our first wooden post marking the East, with an Avenue of the Sun and the beginnings of a sun dial using the shadow of the post. We have special guest Matt Stone in studio with us, he has circumnavigated the globe at least twice without lifting a finger simply by maintaining a berth on various ships of the U. S. Navy. He has been to many exotic places but apparently has failed to visit even a single pyramid. When asked about any ancient or mysterious places he has seen, he tells a story about a redhead from Malta that was attached to the UN. (Purely anecdotal, of course. We saw no evidence of a Maltese Redhead, clearly Matt is just trying to make money selling books, or something) Still, talking about redheads leads inevitably to the topic of redshift, so we go over the whole problem of Doppler and redshift in cosmology, and how it is fundamental to mainstream science's picture of the universe.  

We've started The Great Texinian Astronomical Hill Henge Project (Stone, Allen, Allen, et al) in which we propose to construct an astronomical observatory in the tradition of the great henges of Eld(Stonehenge, Adam's Calendar, etc). Like those venerable projects, we propose to start small, with a single central stake, about $2000 worth of calibrated optics, $120,000 worth of heavy equipment, 3 dogs, 2 wooden posts, several pencils, and a laser. You know. Gotta keep it simple to start. We detail the difficulties we've yet to encounter but know are ahead of us, based on past experience. On the whole, we think the project will give us a much clearer perspective on the difficulties the ancients needed to overcome in order to construct their fantastic stone circles and henges.  It will allow us to communicate this knowledge to all of you in a much more concise fashion, so that all of you will have a greater understanding of why it's really fucking hard to build these things. We talk about the astronaut who returned to earth after nearly a year in space, two inches taller, smarter, with newly activated "space" genes, an increased life span due to an inexplicably higher telomere count, and a large genetic drift from his identical twin brother who stayed earthside while his bro was evolving in space. We also discuss the newest research papers released by the Comet Research Group re: the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis, some responses and rebuttals, and how a totally innocent cow was framed for the enormous Great Chicago Fire.  

We start out this show with a series of very strange moon mysteries with lots of terrible analogies by Kyle, and end up skipping the first break, and by the end of the hour we've basically proved the moon is a giant ancient spaceship. From there we move on to a discussion of sacred geometry and metrology, and the difference between the Imperial and Metric systems and their relative utility in different circumstances. In the final segment, we talk about people who seemingly appear out of nowhere, which leads to timeslips and the Mandela Effect and glitches in the Matrix and mass disappearances like Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 and Roanoke, and how all these things could be connected.  

We kick this episode off with some choice soundbites from a major UFO event that occurred over the west coast on October 25th, 2017. Thanks to the hard work of some intrepid reporters who submitted FOIA requests to the FAA for all relevant material, we have access to recordings of the conversations between Seattle air traffic control and pilots who were observing the object, phone conversations between FAA officials and ATC and the military, and follow-up phone calls between FAA and the pilots who witnessed the object. This leads to a discussion about the UFO phenomena in general, and whether this is a spiritual/consciousness related phenomena or physical biological entities operating "nuts and bolts" craft from some other solar system... or perhaps a bit of both. From there we go on to discuss UFO-like sightings in the ancient past, how such events seem to have been playing a major part in all of human history, shaping our religions, our philosophies, our vision of the universe. After that heady discussion, we segue into a talk about strange earth anomalies, bowls of fused silica glass in the middle eastern desert, bowls in the surface of the ocean, and how most of these anomalies can be solved (or caused) simply by exploding a nuclear weapon over them.  

In this episode we begin by discussing the recent developments in Mexico and Guatemala, where evidence of ruins of enormous urban areas have been discovered associated with known sites. Basically, nerds showed up with helicopters and lasers and demonstrated how to do archaeology in the 21st century. We also discuss a fascinating submerged cave system in Mexico that has been underwater since the end of the ice age, which was found to contain bones of pliestocene animals, human bones and artifacts, wall carvings and stone staircases and altars. Of course the constructions are attributed to the Mayans who were in this area around 900AD, which is a tad late considering the cave has been submerged for the past 10k years or so. We talk about the odd association with gods and turtles in mythology all over the world, and how there is evidence suggesting these turtles actually represent some sort of mechanical vehicle piloted by a member of an advanced civilization(alien or not), and whether these vehicles could have been utilizing some form of mercury vortex engine, as is implied by the myths.  

This episode kicks off with Russ asking "Are we recording?" clearly demonstrating the extremely high level of professionalism and broadcast skills he has acquired while recording 30+ episodes of Snakebros gold. Having done that, we move on to discuss the recent news of the mysterious booms in Colorado, a selection of Snakebros Favorite Out of Place Artifacts, a couple of very interesting anomalous ancient sites in China, and how people who can listen to jazz with the fillings in their teeth prove that we destroy buildings with small kinetic oscillators.  

We kick this episode off with some current news items, like the LiDAR survey in Guatemala around Mayan ruins, the possible detection of extragalactic exoplanets, and the complete falsification of anthropogenic global warming by world-reknowned, internationally acclaimed, nobel prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman, using physics. Kyle then destroys the dreams of millions of people who have been trying to raise their vibrations and make the world a better place through meditation, when he reads an article about scientists who proved that meditation doesn't work by demonstrating that assholes who meditate are still assholes. He then renews their dreams by pointing out that, since life can be shit sometimes, having assholes around to deal with it is a good thing, so removal of all assholes would leave the rest of us to deal with the shit, which is no one's idea of a better world. In the second hour, Russ reads from Ivan T. Sanderson's book Pursuing the Unexplained about coincidence and how, as a phenomena, it is not understood and therefore cannot legitimately be used as an explanation for other things we don't under stand. Also, rain dances are real, clouds can be busted with merely a few minutes concentration and an intense stare, and lots of weird shit rains out of the sky on a regular basis(further reinforcing the need for assholes, to deal with this sky shit). So get out there and be an asshole, make the world a better place.
