Brothers of the Serpent

We talk with Walter Bosley on his book "Secret Missions II: The Lost Expedition of Sir Richard Francis Burton", which, if you haven't read it...go read it. Right now. We'll wait. .... .... Done? Ah yes, you have the classic "omg my mind is blown" facial expression. Good. We talk about that mind blowing book in this episode, and more. For those who have seen the movie "The Lost City of Z" about the adventures of Col. Percy Fawcett, this is like that, only more. And before. Basically, the stuff in that movie happened because of the stuff in Bosley's book. You can find Walter Bosley on Facebook, and follow him on Twitter at @WBBosley. His books are available on lulu. He also has a blog called Empire of the Wheel (which has the same background as our website--the man has good taste). Brothers of the Serpent Episode 079

We have a very special episode for all you snake sibs out there, we interviewed Mr. George Howard, who has been involved with the Comet Research Group from the very beginning in the work on the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis, which we have spoken of many times in previous episodes. George gives us all kinds of insider insights on the evolution of the hypothesis over the years, leading up to and including the recent publications on the Hiawatha Crater in Greenland, and where he sees the research going in the future and how this new data might affect the "standard model" of human development. George also sets the record straight on the attempted character assassination of Dr. Allen West, discusses the Carolina Bays, the Alaska Muck, and at least once refers to skerptards as "skerptards". Follow George on Twitter @CosmicTusk and at his website and blog, The Cosmic Tusk. Enjoy!

--==WARNING==-- This episode contains drunk people  While Kyle and Russ slept the sleep of innocent serpents, the ten by ten by ten Tangent Cube of Science was hijacked by drunk friends who secretly recorded themselves attempting to make a podcast episode in the best SnakeBros tradition. This is the result. Of course, they never thought we would publish it. But once we heard it, we knew we had to. Not only is it hilarious, it also has some really excellent content on ancient mysteries. Enjoy! Brothers of the Serpent LateNite  Hiawatha Crater

We read and discuss articles about recent earthquake mysteries, vanishing quasars, and a very strange standalone doorway in Rome called the Porta Alchemica which has inscribed upon it numerous riddles which we endeavor to solve on the fly. In the final segment, Russ reads from Michael Cremo's book Hidden History of the Human Race, focusing on a few of the anomalous discoveries of human artifacts buried in strata that is normally considered to be hundreds of millions of years old.

Mr. Clint Beckham is back again, joining us in the infamous Tangent Cube of Science to discuss all things arrowheads and ancient Native American cultures and mysteries. It was a fantastic and fun show. clint.beckham@yahoo.com (830) 313-2648 Aoudad Adventures & More Brothers of the Serpent Episode 076

We talk about the Greenland Impact Crater in the first segment and what that means for the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis and the history of the human race in general. We read select sections from Graham Hancock's book Magicians of the Gods regarding unexplained and highly scientific artifacts on the Altiplano around Lake Titicaca including the megalithic sites of Tiahuanaco and Puma Punku, anomalous advances in agriculture from thousands of years ago, and the Aymara language itself appearing to have been constructed instead of arising organically. In the final segment we go through some of the really astonishing astronomical, biological, and philosophical correlations contained in ancient metrology, ancient structures, and mythology, respectively.

We spend most of this episode going through cases from David Paulides' book, Missing 411: Western United States and Canada. We discuss each case briefly, then finish up with a more in depth discussion in the final segment.  Brothers of the Serpent Episode 074

After a fantastic SpaceWeatherNews update we do some listener maintenance and read some emails and promote our brand new Twitter feed (@SnkBrs), re-re-explain Precession again in another different way, then move on to some serious Missing 411 stuff in the second hour of the show.  Brothers of the Serpent Episode 073 Clearly, Kyle identifies with the Physicists. Russ, on the other hand, is not even on this graph.

After SpaceWeatherNews and a SunProbe update, we read a story about a mystery boom heard at the Serpent Mound in Ohio, and Brenner (returning as a special guest for this special episode) reads a story about the return of the Skull Asteroid of Certain Death this Halloween. Russ then recounts some personal anecdotes about strange sounds and other "ghostly" phenomena. We then get to the main topic of the show, which is the Precession of the Equinoxes. Of course. Because 72.  Brothers of the Serpent Episode 072  Kyle's Precession Diagrams, showing how the axial wobble shifts the seasons around the orbit of the sun, and thus the zodiacal constellations relative to the sun's position in the sky

After our normal SpaceWeatherNews update and some pontificating about quantum mechanics and other things we completely do not understand, we spend the rest of the show going through a selection of fairy folklore tales from the excellent book "The Fairy Faith in Celtic Countries" by W. Y. Evans-Wentz, and discussing the many connections to other mythologies, both ancient and modern.  Brothers of the Serpent Episode 071
