Brothers of the Serpent

On this post-eclipse pre-apocalypse episode we start out by speculating that the Solar Eclipse that just passed across the U.S. is the reason for the sudden macrosizing of Hurricane Harvey, which went on to drown  large areas of Texas beneath immense floods of water and, for a brief time, turning the area back into something resembling the "late cretaceous inland sea" that supposedly covered the area. So we here at the SnakeBros compound decided it was time to get out the buttflaps and party like it's 70,000,000 B.C. (±1,200,000y adj). We discuss the Foucault Pendulum Anomaly, where pendulums act very strangely beneath full solar eclipses, implying something is very wrong with Standard Model physics and the way it views gravity and mass and the interaction between them. For the last part of the show, we give an overview of the Missing 411 mystery, followed by several actual accounts of the missing persons.  

We start the show talking about how, in this day and age, there are actually still people out there who do not spend an appreciable amount of time thinking about Pyramids. I mean, it's 2017! How are there even people out there who don't think about Pyramids?? Can we get with the program here, on the right side of history please?? Well, we can say for certain that we don't know anyone who doesn't think about pyramids. We don't even talk to people like that. As if. So we do a lot of thinking and talking about pyramids on this episode. We believe pyramids. The pyramids are settled. Build pyramids, not bridges. Questioning the Theory of Pyramids is like questioning the Theory of Gravity. If you do, you'll just die tired.  

In this episode we discuss how many of the most mysterious ancient sites are connected to each other through sometimes obvious, sometimes subtle, stylistic similarities, and how this fits with the growing picture of ancient history as defined by pulling together ancient texts and myths from all over the world. Bananas continue to not be discussed at all.  

In this episode we spend a lot of time on the subject of modern so-called "skeptics"(AKA skerptards AKA skerpderpers AKA losers), the concept of "debunking" vs actually disproving or falsification, and the myriad ways that the modern "skeptic" movement is deeply deceptive in their methods and tactics. We also discuss and give examples of how the scientific community in many respects has also engaged in widespread acts of deception both large and small, and how "alternative" or "fringe" or "paranormal" researchers often have some of the most solid, well-supported evidence and arguments because of the constant attacks on their work by the mainstream, which looks for any possible way to discredit even if it is deeply disingenuous and/or fallacious. Since the mainstream does not even come close to holding itself to similar standards, much of it's work has later been shown to fall apart when attempts to recreate it are undertaken. So basically what we're saying is, Nephas 1, Losers 0.  

We explore the strange and interesting Mystery of the Maps; Portolano Projection maps made during the 15th and 16th century that appear to contain information incongruous with the state of cartographic and navigational knowledge and ability at the time. We explain "the problem of Longitude" which wasn't overcome until the late 1800s, yet there exist many 16th and 17th century maps with areas of very precise longitude, better than anything we could do up to as recently as the 1950s. We also outline the work of Dr. Charles Hapgood, who studied many of these maps currently housed in the Congressional Library, who went on to publish a book called "Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings" We also delve into the original Grail legend, wandering the vast and intimidating labyrinth of Grail Lore and esoterica, until eventually we surprise everyone(ourselves included) by emerging into the light on the other side with a possible solution to this age-old mystery.  

In this episode we start out with a strange news item about alien/reptilian looking mummified bodies found in Peru, then from there we move on to the Ancient Alien hypothesis vs the Ancient Advanced Civilization hypothesis, consciousness and quantum mechanics, cryogenics and AI, life, the universe, and everything.  

In this episode we have a guest, Archer Finley aka GMA(Greatest Man Alive), close friend and SnakeBro who has a degree in Electrical Engineering. So we spend most of the episode asking him questions about electricity and totally not understanding the answers. We also ask his opinion on whether ancient civilizations could have had some understanding of electrical forces. We talk about telluric currents, the Shuttle Tether mission(which was STS 75, not STS 80 as Russ said on the show), Nikola Tesla, and more. One of the strange objects that drifted past during the tether video, which is linked below   Huge anomalous sunspot A couple of examples of earthquake lights

We start this episode off with a few interesting news items that lead to another short discussion about the Elastic Universe Hypothesis and how it might be tested via an interesting anomaly that happens only beneath a full solar eclipse. And also how archaeologists are dumb because for like a hundred years they've been trying to study ancient astronomical observatories during the daytime. We then move on to the subject of the Black Knight Satellite at the request of a listener(thanks J), which means we get into Long Delay Echoes, ancient space probes, Phillip K. Dick and V.A.L.I.S. After that, we talk about a strange correlation between gigantic pyramids in Mexico, China, and Indonesia, then finish up with a brief discussion of a very mysterious place in China known as the Longyou Grottoes. Gravitic Lensing (theoretically) caused by the gravity of a galaxy cluster in the foreground, warping the light of galaxies behind it into circular arcs(btw the very bright object on the upper right is a star in our own galaxy)   Graph of LDEs   Epsilon Bootes constellation Some believe this photo taken from the space shuttle captured the elusive Black Knight NASA map of PHAs(Potentially Hazardous Asteroids) This map does not include comets. We're all gonna die. Teotihuacan It's pretty big.....I guess Why was this place encased in Mica?? Volcanic mountain near Teotihuacan Pyramids in China       They refer to them as "mausoleums"     They're totally not pyramids. See the trees? Hills. Just hills.   Pyramid of the first Chinese emperor. The Terracotta warriors are nearby. The top of Gunung Padang in Indonesia The top level was made using basalt columns that form naturally when lava hits seawater The top level is about 2500 years old. The lowest levels are 30,000 years old. The Terracotta Warriors This is just a few of them....there are over 6,000 in total, plus horses That's a lotta clay mmkay Note each has very unique individual features One of the Longyou Grottoes. The light is coming through an opening that was the original pool on the surface Who did this? Where did all the rock go? Where are the fish?   That would seem like a "bottomless" pool Note the extremely uniform marks on the walls Each grotto is many levels deep The rooms are cavernous and huge A close-up of the marks on the walls. Toothpicks and dedication? Or advanced machinery? SnakeBros  

==----------WARNING---------== There are aspects of this episode that do not correlate to anything "tangible"  or "real", and instead seem to take 90 degree turns in directions that do not actually exist, then head off into impossible infinities only to discover god and/or aliens sitting out there calculating the digits of cake(the cake is a pi). This material requires a minimum of a Level 2.0 non-Tangetard brain and is NSFS(Not Safe For Skerptards). There's not much more that can be said about the discussion in this episode; mostly because we don't really understand what we were talking about. Waves and pyramids. Cake and Pi. Snakes and bros. It all fits. We think. But seriously, just keep in mind that there are pics down below that may help you in continuing to not understand wtf we're talking about. Just remember that all we're really saying is   3.141592653589793238462643383279502884 1971693993751058209749445923078164062 8620899862803482534211706798214808651 3282306647093844609550582231725359408 1284811174502841027019385211055596446 2294895493038196442881097566593344612 8475648233786783165271201909145648566 9234603486104543266482133936072602491 4127372458700660631558817488152092096 2829254091715364367892590360011330530 5488204665213841469519415116094330572 7036575959195309218611738193261179310 5118548074462379962749567351885752724 8912279381830119491298336733624406566 4308602139494639522473719070217986094 3702770539217176293176752384674818467 6694051320005681271452635608277857713 4275778960917363717872146844090122495 3430146549585371050792279689258923542 0199561121290219608640344181598136297 7477130996051870721134999999837297804 9951059731732816096318595024459455346 9083026425223082533446850352619311881 7101000313783875288658753320838142061 7177669147303598253490428755468731159 5628638823537875937519577818577805321 7122680661300192787661119590921642019 8 therefore pyramids.  Whole universe dispersion structure of matter.

We start this episode with a recount of a daytrip we took to a nearby extinct volcano that we totally did not know was there even though we've lived here for decades. Usually volcanoes are pretty noticable because mountain, but this volcano is eroded flat, nothing but a small knob of igneous material remains where the volcano once stood. Still, we were excited to see it and do some geololololology. Turns out it is entirely on private property. So we still haven't seen it. Instead, we went to McKinney Falls nearby, where we discovered an ancient dry-laid stone wall that bisected the park going directly east-west, atop a massive tounge of catastrophically deposited limestone(that in turn rested atop igneous materials, probably deposited by eruptions of the elusive mountainless volcano). Plus, evidence of massive flooding, giant oyster fossils, and creature shadows trapped in clay. Then we got eaten by fish and started a microcult. For the rest of the show, we discuss how to hear light and see sound, the almost total rejection of Russ' Yellowstone SuperColliding SuperVolcano Hypothesis by mainstream science, the complete rejection of Russ' Lithophonic Longhouses Low-hanging-fruit hypothesis by mainstream science, and how a steel drum is like an obelisk, but with dents. Geological Cross Section of Pilot Knob, the extinct volcano we couldn't find Strange stuff in the igneous boulders we found, these look like.... veins??  Yep. Those look like veins. Note relative-size quarter for scale.  Looks like... a tiny footprint.... with teeth stuck in it?? Right after taking this pic, we found an abandoned shoe, so we noped outta there The limestone shows signs of enduring severe erosional flooding at several bottleneck areas at McKinney Falls Erosion damage is clear from overhead images; note the widespread occurrence of "potholes", holes drilled into the stone by whirlpools in torrential floods Screenshot from a video taken in Williams Creek at the back of McKinney Falls park.  Williams Creek: The odd layer of gray-blue clay can be clearly seen on the left   STEP BACK FROM THE EDGE, TREE!! YOU HAVE TOO MUCH TO LIVE FOR Everything above the gray layer is river sediment deposit: a mix of limestone, caliche, flint, and lots of small rounded stones....river gravel There is naught left of them but Shadows.....SHADOWS IN THE CLAY Weird semi-spiraling bivalve / cephalopods ?? Beneath the limestone characteristic of McKinney Falls, we discovered evidence of volcanism....pyroclastic deposit layers Closeup of pyroclastic layers hidden beneath the limestone, note the crystalline structures Some of the layers have a strange latticework structure Graph of human hearing frequency range. Below the wavy line, the sounds are too quiet for us to hear them, above the line are audible sounds.  The human visual spectrum and where it lies on the full range of the electromagnetic spectrum.  Harmonics. Just picture these as guitar strings. The first one at the top shows the guitar string vibrating all across its length, making the Fundamental note. The next one has been touched lightly in the middle, splitting the vibration in half and silencing the fundamental, bringing out the harmonic. The next has been touched at the 1/3 spot, and so on.  This is an absolutely awful image depicting how redshift/blueshift works.  Sky view of Malta temples, which are very organic looking, everything is round, no sharp corners anywhere.    Malta temple megaliths. Uncut, unworked, unfinished, yet stacked and arranged so skillfully that they still stand, 7,000 years later Interior of one of the Maltese temples. Note the doorway on the right... all temple doors in Malta are made this way, as a hole cut through a large stone, rather than a more conventional approach with just two supports holding up a lintel stone. Haven't the faintest idea why.  Interior shots of the Hypogeum on Malta Hauntingly beautiful. Why did they build it? Who built it?  Looking through another round dooway piercing a stone slab in the Hypogeum. Remember that every room in this place was found 2/3rds filled with rubble and soil that had no stratigraphy(was not layered, implying it all was deposited at once), and scattered throughout the soil were the bones of upwards of 7,000 people, all of whom had anomalous elongated skulls. Interior diagram of the Pyramid of Khufu/Cheops(The Great Pyramid), to show how far away the subterranean chamber is from the King's Chamber   3D diagram of the Great Pyramid. Because why not.  The Ringing Rocks of Ringing Rocks Park. Note how tightly clustered they are.... trees don't even grow between them   The infamous, slightly foreboding Black Mountain   Slopes of Black Mountain, which is obviously not a mountain but an enormous pile of granite boulders that are so similar in size they look like gravel.  This is just incredibly strange, very difficult to explain how so many similar sized boulders came to be piled up so high in this one spot And of course....... snakes
