Brothers of the Serpent

We are joined by John from Living Dreams Mexico to talk about the Maya, their long history, and the development of their culture and building styles. John runs a tour company in Mexico and is very familiar with many of the Mayan sites, and he gives us a lesson in the basic Mayan history and the associated architectural styles. We also discuss a bit about Mayan theology, astronomy, and the connection with the Olmecs. After the interview with John, we give an Ag update and tackle some emails.

We went live on Youtube to talk about the amazing sites we visited in Turkey, and to show some of our video footage and photos. We discussed Nemrut Dagi, Gobekli Tepe, Karahan Tepe, Sogmatar, and more. If you want to see the video with all the images and footage, check it out on our YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/live/utTC8_XPDjU   Thanks to all who participated in the live chat with questions and donations!

We are back in the cube from our trip to Turkey, discussing the culture of the country, the beautiful city of Sanliurfa, and the many amazing ancient sites we visited. After an overview of the trip itself and some brief discussion of other sites like Karahan Tepe, Harran, and Sogmatar, we get into some details about Gobekli Tepe that we observed, as well as some of what we learned from reading the scientific literature associated with the site. As always, there is more to come. Enjoy!   Thanks very much to everyone who has donated! here are the Producers for Episode #283: Executive Producers: Andrea Johnson Anton Karl Edward Goy Jim Coogler Associate Executive Producers: Donna Sneden Adam Knudsen Roshan Choxi

We're about to leave for Turkey and we have so many great emails from listeners to catch up on before we go, we decided to tackle some of them in a live-to-youtube broadcast. Once again this was a lot of fun, thanks to everyone in the chat and all the superchat donations. This will be the last of the regular episodes until we get back from Turkey. Meanwhile, check our youtube channel for livestreams, the discord for pics, vids and boots-on-the-ground updates, and maybe even the RSS feed for audio uploads, if we can manage it. Also, as was mentioned during the show, Russ/Brothers of the Serpent now has an "affiliate link" for purchasing a livestream ticket for the Cosmic Summit event.

With our trip to Turkey coming soon, we sit down to record this episode with Gobekli Tepe on our minds, and this leads to a discussion about the origins of civilization. What came first, the temple, or civilization? How do hunter gatherer people become farmers and ranchers? Obviously, we don't have the answers. But we work through our thoughts in this episode, and it will be interesting to see how much we learn, and how that will change what we think now, after we see Gobekli Tepe for ourselves.

We tried something new with this episode and streamed it live to the Youtube channel. It was fun, thanks to everyone who participated in the chats(and donated!!) We read lots of emails and played some music and enjoyed ourselves immensely. We hope you enjoy it as well.   Executive Producers: Peter Shell Matt Shy Johnathan Bracken Associate Executive Producers: Daniel Gandy Pepe LE PewPew Garry Piatt Adrian Johnson

Ben from UnchartedX joins us to discuss the amazing high quality scan data of a pre-dynastic Egyptian stone vase. Ben has discussed this object, the data from the scan, and the implications of the staggering precision evident in the manufacturing process several times on his channel. Since the STL file of the data has been made available for download on the UnchartedX website, many people from around the world have been performing their own analysis of the vase, and we discuss some of the results of that on this episode, as well as some interesting results that Kyle has discovered on his own in his attempt to better understand the initial analysis techniques used by professional metrologists Alex Dunn and Nick Sierra. There is a lot of visual data being referenced on this episode, so be sure to check out the YouTube version(it should be out within a few days of the publishing of this audio). Ben's website: https://unchartedx.com/ Mark's article we read from on the episode: https://unsigned.io/granite-artifact/ Also see the work Marián Marčiš is posting to Twitter: https://twitter.com/mariusderomanu3 Link to download the STL file: https://unchartedx.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Vase.stl Links for the initial vase report: https://unchartedx.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/VASE-REPORT-INCHES.pdf https://unchartedx.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/VASE-REPORT-METRIC.pdf

Another UFO conversation, this time with Darren and Graham from Grimerica joining us in a swapcast, and of course Marty Garza as a guest, making it more of a round table discussion. We talk UFOs, coverups, government and academic involvement in the subject, physics, secret projects, and more. A lot of the conversation was in regard to the JRE episode #1945 with Eric Weinstein as well, if you're interested in the UFO topic and haven't listened to that episode yet, go listen to it!   The second half of the conversation with Grimerica and Marty will be available on our Patreon feed, or on the Grimerica Outlawed feed.   You can get more Grimerica here: https://grimerica.ca/

Despite being out of town on vacation, Marty Garza joins us remotely for the first half of the show to discuss the current events regarding the objects that have been sighted and shot down over the Americas. We discuss possibilities, ideas, speculation, and conspiracies surrounding these objects. Marty also talks about a sighting he had while driving on a remote desert highway on his way to his Vegas vacation. He stopped his vehicle and managed to get some video with his phone, which is included in the video version of this episode. See the youtube version here: https://youtu.be/je8ZVTyKn-s

The final part of this (long) book report series. We finish up Hapgood's thoughts on evolution and how the idea of repeating crustal displacements might fill some gaps in the understanding of the process, then move on to the final chapter for Hapgood's conclusion, and suggestions for future research. We also read from some of the many notes and addendums following the main body of the book, including some correspondence and meetings with Einstein, work on the physics of the axial stability of a rotating sphere, and more.  There is a lot of great information in this section of the book, much of which we did not discuss. We really do recommend you all get a copy so you can read it for yourselves.   Get the Kindle version of the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Path-Pole-Cataclysmic-Shift-Geology-ebook/dp/B003F7PEFG/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
