Melaine Zimmer: Curiosities from Ancient New York

The Finger Lakes region is known for its beauty, but look carefully and you will discover some of New York's other abundant--and unusual--treasures. The cliffs of Excelsior Glen are scattered with ancient Indian pictographs, and Bluff Point conceals the ruins of an unknown civilization. The wine industry has its own strange stories; discover why one wine producer was banned from using his own name. Among the oddities of the Finger Lakes region are the world's largest pancake, a slice of Susan B. Anthony's seventy-eighth birthday cake and the anecdote of the boy who accidentally caught an eight-pound trout with his nose. Join author Melanie Zimmer and uncover these and other curiosities and strange tales of the Finger Lakes.

Cremo Michael Cremo is an American freelance researcher who identifies himself as a Vedic creationist and argues that humans have lived on the earth for billions of years. Cremo argues for the existence of modern man on Earth as long ago as 30 to 40 million years ago. Cremo and Richard L. Thompson write Forbidden Archeology which quickly became a best selling underground classic, with over 200,000 copies sold and translations in more than 13 languages.   This massive work spawned waves of resistance and wonder amongst the scientific community, with over 900 pages of well-documented evidence suggesting that modern man did not evolve from ape man, but instead has co-existed with apes for millions of years!The first 108 persons to purchase Michael Cremo's latest book, MY SCIENCE, MY RELIGION will receive a free Bhagavad-Gita book (if they choose yes on the online order form) http://www.mcremo.com/order.htm  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Duncan Lunan: Epsilon Bootis Revisited

Duncan Lunan: Epsilon Bootis Revisited

Duncan Alasdair Lunan, born October 1945, is a Scottish author with emphasis on astronomy, spaceflight and science fiction. In 1973, in an article in Spaceflight, the magazine of the British Interplanetary Society (BIS), he said he had identified and deciphered a hidden radio message sent by an alien space probe that had been caught but overlooked in the late 1920s by researchers who were studying the long delayed echo effect. Some considered the probe might have been sent by an earlier unknown Earth civilization, which was destroyed in the biblical cataclysm that destroyed the fables Atlantis.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

John Anthony West: Pre-Dynastic Egypt and the Sphinx

John Anthony West: Pre-Dynastic Egypt and the Sphinx

This is Earth Ancient Premier podcast, the first in a series of weekly programs. Our first program features John Anthony West. John will highlight his work following the amazing redating of the Sphinx.Who is John Anthony West? Dr. Robert Schoch was the Geologist who examined the Egyptian Sphinx on the Giza Plateau, and later redated the rock body of the sculpture to a significantly older period. The inspiration and driving force behind the discovery was John Anthony West. West had studies the Sphinx, its enclosure and many of the regions buildings, and was convinced that the world's largest man-made sculpture was from an earlier pre-dynastic people. He was the driving force behind Schoch's work and others.In 1993 his work with Robert M. Schoch, a geologist and associate professor of natural science at the College of General Studies at Boston University was presented by Charlton Heston in a NBC special called “The Mystery of the Sphinx” that won West an News & Documentary Emmy Award for Best Research and a nomination for Best Documentary. The documentary contends that the main type of weathering evident on the Great Sphinx (pictured) and surrounding enclosure walls could only have been caused by prolonged and extensive rainfall during the time period from 10,000 to 5000 BCE and was carved out of limestone bedrock by an ancient advanced culture (such as the Heavy Neolithic Qaraoun culture).This challenged the conventional dating of the carving of the statue circa 2500 BCE. West suggested that the Sphinx may be over twice as old as originally determined, whereas Schoch made a more conservative determination of between 5000 and 7000 BCE.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.
