Brothers of the Serpent

Continuing our deep dive into Charles Hapgood's The Path of the Pole, we discuss the evidence that advances and retreats of the massive Pleistocene ice sheets in North America and Europe were apparently in opposition, such that whenever there was an advance in Europe, for example, there was a retreat of ice in North America, and vice versa. Hapgood points to this as evidence that these advances and retreats were not caused by global cooling or warming, but perhaps they may have been caused by lithosphere displacement. Near the end of the episode we start in on "orogenesis" or the process of mountain building, and the mysteries of how the world's enormous mountain chains came to be.   Get the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Path-Pole-Cataclysmic-Shift-Geology-ebook/dp/B003F7PEFG/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1662657062&sr=8-1   Executive Producers: Anne who Knits Peter Beebee Associate Executive Producers: Laura Coutu Bradley Justice Douglas Obie     Below are some excellent images of the fossil human footprints at White Sands, evidence that humans were in North America ~20ka, as provided by listener Greenman in an email we read in the last segment of the show. If you can't see the images, check our website.

Getting into the depths of the Path of the Pole in our ongoing book report. We talk about volcanism and its possible role in drastically affecting climate during catastrophic crustal shift periods, causing all the glacial and interglacial periods we see evidence for in the recent glaciation. Hapgood also details evidence showing the timeline of the advance, retreat, and complete disappearance of the last ice age, and how this timeline is very short, meaning the disappearance of the ice cannot be explained by standard slow-moving geological processes.   Get the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Path-Pole-Cataclysmic-Shift-Geology-ebook/dp/B003F7PEFG/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1662657062&sr=8-1   Executive Producers: Chandra Chell Philip Baklamov Matt Shy Peter Shell Zachariah Baker Associate Executive Producers: Chester Hunter Daniel Gandy Dave Cortes Patrick Hicks

Part 4 of our deep dive into Charles Hapgood's The Path of the Pole.  This week, we look at evidence for a warm arctic during the last ice age, with islands currently within the arctic circle showing evidence for much warmer climates in the late pleistocene. We also read about evidence from other key places around the world having climates that align with the hypothesis of a north pole at Hudson Bay.  Hapgood also briefly discusses Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings and the Oronteus Finaeus map.

Kyle is on vacation at the beach and the Watcher is off fighting space battles in a space ambulance, but we still managed to get this episode recorded in time to publish this week. We took some time off from the Path of the Pole book report to respond to listener emails, which, as always, generates some excellent discussions, jokes, and laughs. Thank you all so much for the excellent emails! Keep 'em comin'.   Check our website to see the images we discussed in this episode if you can't see them in the show notes.

Part 3 of our deep dive into Charles Hapgood's The Path of the Pole.  This week, we look at more evidence of past pole configurations different from the present, as well as evidence against the idea that in the past, the earth spent long periods of time with a uniformly warm or cold climate, which was one of the attempts to explain away evidence for warm climate flora and fauna in what are now polar regions, and evidence for polar conditions in what are now tropical and sub tropical areas.   Get the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Path-Pole-Cataclysmic-Shift-Geology-ebook/dp/B003F7PEFG/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1662657062&sr=8-1   Executive Producers: Andrew Ryan Randal Bruck

The long-awaited part 10 of our UFO series with Marty Garza is actually the first in a subseries of episodes exploring more of the topic of what kinds of "technologies" have been gleaned from interactions with the phenomena of UFOs and otherworldly entities. How much does this topic really overlap with the occult? With ancient myths of gods, demi gods, "demons", "angels", and "ancestor spirits"? This episode we start with strange psychological effects of polar exploration, take a look at large studies of strange and "paranormal" occurrences by Russian and German scientists in the era leading up to the world wars, and how these studies seem to have affected the course of history moving forward. More on this subject to come in future UFO episodes!   Executive Producer of this episode: The Grimerica Show (thanks guys!)

Part 2 of our deep dive into Charles Hapgood's book, The Path of the Pole. This week we cover more of Charles' ideas on how the crust may have moved catastrophically, as well as the possible evidence for drastically different arrangements of continents in the distant past, such as evidence for large glacial masses in what are now tropical areas in India and Africa.   Get the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Path-Pole-Cataclysmic-Shift-Geology-ebook/dp/B003F7PEFG/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1662657062&sr=8-1   Executive Producer: Michael Hale

After our interview with Maartin from MarioBuildreps about ancient sites possibly being aligned to previous north pole positions on the earth, we decided we should take a deep dive into Charles Hapgood's book, The Path of the Pole, and look at historical research into this topic. The second edition of this book, published in the 1970s, is over 50 years old at this point, and is a revised edition of the 1958 printing of the original work, Earth's Shifting Crust.  It's certain that geophysical science has progressed since then, but it is still worth looking at the state of the art at the time.   Get the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Path-Pole-Cataclysmic-Shift-Geology-ebook/dp/B003F7PEFG/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1662657062&sr=8-1

Hugh Newman from  @MegalithomaniaUK  joins us to discuss the very ancient and mysterious site of Karahan Tepe in Turkey, a site very similar to the nearby and much more well-known Gobekli Tepe. Hugh has visited the site several times and spent time exploring the area both before and after excavations began. He brings his first hand experience of the site to us in this interview with a fascinating series of images and insights.

Conversation on the main topic starts in the second half of the episode. It's the end of August, and for us, it is the harvest season. We discuss this year's harvest of the grapes and the beginnings of this season's winemaking. Kyle reads a few news stories and we discuss those, then in the second segment Russ reads a long story from the Mysterious Universe website about four cases of strange mass animal deaths. In the second half of the show, Kyle talks about the "philosophy of narrative", how common stories have a powerful influence on people and culture. How much have ancient mythologies influenced us? We also talk about the ability to focus on one thing versus the need to pay attention to the big picture, and how to balance these two ways of looking at the world, and how that connects to ancient mysteries, structures, and mythology.   Thanks very much to everyone who supports the show!
