Episode #306: Precision in Ancient Technology

Prof Shy joins us again, this time remotely, to continue his presentation of his research on the historical and archaeological evidence for giants. The first half of the show is a deep dive into the subject of the legendary giants of Lovelock Cave. In the second half, we read through multiple accounts of giant encounters and discoveries in Mexico, central and south America.   Thanks to Troy for the Episode Art!!

Matt Shy joins us in studio to discuss his research and reading into the evidence for ancient giants around the world. In this episode we cover the mounds of North America and the mythology and oral traditions of Native Americans, as well as confirmed accounts of findings of large skeletons by the Smithsonian. We also discuss the differences between normal humans with "gigantism" vs large human skeletons that show no signs of such a "disorder".

Streaming live from the Tangent Cube, with Ben from UnchartedX in studio with us for the first time. We discuss the eclipse event, then continue our conversation from last week about our recent trip to Egypt. We show some videos of Giza around the satellite pyramids, and new video of the well shaft and grotto in the great pyramid.   If you want to see the videos we are discussing, check the youtube version of the episode here: https://youtube.com/live/whRcPHx9E3w  

Ben from UnchartedX joins us in our first episode since returning from our six weeks in Egypt. We discuss discoveries and observations we made at many different sites across Egypt, our adventures in the Fayum and the surrounding desert, diving in the Red Sea, and more.   Find Ben and his fantastic content here: https://unchartedx.com/   Join us for the Eclipse in Texas! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/eclipse-at-the-canyon-tickets-733419546607 We will be at the Cosmic Summit in June, join us there or watch the livestream: https://cosmicsummit.com/

Martin takes us through more of his research into alignments of the megalithic structures in the UK, demonstrating that some of these monuments may be aligned with each other across vast distances, implying that there could have been an overall plan for all of them, rather than simple random placement. We also look at some alignments of sites with the word "Devil" in the name, and how those may be correlated with churches named after St. Michael.   Thanks to Troy for the excellent episode art!

Martin returns for the second part of his presentation on his research into the possibility that at least some of the megalithic landscapes in the UK are enormous star maps that span many miles. This episode is heavy on the visuals, so be sure to check the YouTube version so you can see the images Martin is referencing. https://youtu.be/13P53NktVN4 Stay tuned for part 3, which we will post just before we depart for Egypt! Thanks to Troy for the excellent episode art!

Martin Green (MegalithicMartin from our discord) joins us this week to begin a three part discussion on his research into megalithic structures in the UK and the possibility they were sophisticated star maps that span for miles across the landscape. This episode, we look at The Devil's Arrows, the Thornborough Henge, and possible connections to Orion and the Pleiades.

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
