Brothers of the Serpent

  GoFundme we talk about in the beginning of the episode: https://www.gofundme.com/f/parkerville-fire-home-lost-christmas-2023   We recorded this shorter episode just before Christmas because Kyle has injured himself and wasn't able to sit for a normal episode. We discuss Assembly Theory, a new way to look at natural selection and the formation of complex structures. We also talk about the continued investigation of 9000 year old stone hunting structures beneath the waters of Lake Huron.   Thanks to Edfu for the awesome Christmas poem!   Executive Producer: Anne who Knits Associate Executive Producer: David Cree   Assembly Theory paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06600-9

We have Ben from UnchartedX on to talk about the latest research and information on the ancient stone vases from Egypt. Clearly, someone was capable of high tech, high precision work in the deep past. https://unchartedx.com/   Thanks to Troy for the Episode Art!

Scotty is back!

In this episode, we read from the five papers recently published by the Comet Research Group in their new journal, about evidence for an airburst that destroyed Abu Hureyra ~12,800 years ago, and comparisons of impact proxies at Meteor Crater to materials found at known nuclear test sites.  There is also a paper about a possible impact or airburst much more recently, around 700BC, over Kansas, that was witnessed by the native american Pawnee. We also discuss the new paper about Gunung Padang, a megalithic mound in Indonesia that has evidence it's earliest building phase may be as much as 24,000 years old.

Drew joins us for the final episode on his collection of tales about little people, fae folk, and pygmies, this time from the Americas. It is amazing to hear the striking similarities with stories from the other side of the world.   Thanks to Troy for the episode art!

We discuss some recent scientific discoveries in detail, reading from articles and the source papers about ancient solar storms that caused a massive increase in Carbon 14 in the atmosphere, and fossil prints at White Sands that definitively breaks the "Clovis First" model of the peopling of the Americas. In the final segment we discuss a bit about where our minds are at regarding all these mysteries, as well as future plans for exploration on the podcast and in the field. Hard to believe we've published 300 2+ hour episodes! Thanks for sticking with us, there's more to come!   Solar Superstorm article: https://earthsky.org/human-world/solar-superstorm-tree-rings-14300-years-carrington-miyake/ Paper: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/pdf/10.1098/rsta.2022.0206 Footprints article: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/ancient-footprints-affirm-people-lived-in-the-americas-more-than-20-000-years-ago/   Executive Producer: Clueless Krees
