WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.240 --> 00:00:08.080 The strange story of Atlantis that Plato writes about is a curiosity for many of 2 00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:12.400 us. Where was it? Was it in the Atlantic? Some believe it 3 00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:17.559 was in the Caribbean, and even others believe it was in in the Pacific 4 00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:24.600 of all places, my guest today has identified much of Ireland as a unusual 5 00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:32.840 and highly sophisticated land base that he believes was the original source of Plato's story 6 00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:41.200 of Atlantis. Today will learn details about the megalithic structure, the acoustics that 7 00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:49.399 are built into many of these buildings, and also sophisticated construction of megalithic structures 8 00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:58.520 not found anywhere else in the world. Was Ireland the fabled Atlantis? All 9 00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:37.560 this and more today on Earth Ancients or Saturday, November eighteenth, twenty twenty 10 00:01:37.599 --> 00:02:00.959 three. This is Earth Ancients. I'm your host, Cliff dunning Weather's perfect. 11 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:08.280 The sky's clear, I can see out to the ocean. Today we're 12 00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:15.919 looking for the remains of Atlantis. Where was Atlantis? Was it in the 13 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:22.120 Atlantic Ocean? Was it in the Caribbean, Was it in the Indian Ocean, 14 00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:27.919 Or, as some Indonesian scholars believe, was it in the Pacific Ocean? 15 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:36.439 No one really knows, because we have no evidence of its physical remains. 16 00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:43.759 Plato says it was destroyed in a deluge, a catastrophic event that sunk 17 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:51.159 the Great Continent over nine thousand, five hundred years ago, So we don't 18 00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:57.439 really know. But today we are speaking with a Irish scholar who believes that 19 00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:04.360 much of Ireland was once the ancient home of Atlantis. And we're going to 20 00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:10.599 hear about the evidence. We're going to reference his book Atlantis Ireland and see 21 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:19.840 for ourselves the evidence. Now, there are a tremendous number of megalithic structures 22 00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:27.560 in Ireland, and we're talking Doleman, We're talking standing stones that weigh several 23 00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:36.759 tons. We're talking about dwellings that housed people that were used for burial. 24 00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:44.400 And some of these underground sites are very very unusual. They seem to have 25 00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:52.400 acoustic properties that we don't know about. But is our guest today justified in 26 00:03:53.360 --> 00:04:00.800 claiming that Ireland was once Atlantis. It's got some great evidence, it's got 27 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:09.439 some unique points of view. He's even had some science behind his theory that 28 00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:18.240 Ireland was once the fabled land of Atlantis. Now, if you study Charles 29 00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:24.839 Hapgood's book Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings, or any of his earlier books. 30 00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:30.600 He makes a good point for crustal displacement of continents, and it very 31 00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:38.560 well could be that during an ancient catastrophic event that what is now Ireland was 32 00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:46.759 part of a larger continent that was in the Atlantic, closer to the central 33 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:53.319 portions of America than it is now. If it's true that Ireland was once 34 00:04:53.360 --> 00:05:00.240 Atlantis, what are the features of the remaining area we know as I than 35 00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:08.480 can we attribute to what Plato describes as Atlantis? What about the rings, 36 00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:15.800 how the harbor was designed, the sophisticated technologies that are attributed to Atlantis. 37 00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:23.199 What are some of the other What are some of the other features of Atlantis 38 00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:28.480 that we can find in Ireland. So that's going to be the program today. 39 00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:33.680 But I've been fascinated with Atlantis for as long as I can remember, 40 00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:44.639 and there's hundreds of books an equal number of television and documentaries on the lost 41 00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:49.439 Island of Atlantis. Graham Hancock has made an industry out of it, and 42 00:05:50.360 --> 00:06:01.360 is very very much interested in the possibility of a great ancient maritime civilization that 43 00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:06.720 was the mother culture for a lot of people, including the Maya, the 44 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:16.360 Minoans. We even see evidence of sophisticated science in Egypt when we go to 45 00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:24.800 and we do our Egyptian tour every year. I believe that the evidence, 46 00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:29.120 and I speak about this all the time for an earlier epoch, which is 47 00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:35.439 possibly associated with Atlantis, lies in the remaining temples, buildings, and of 48 00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:44.160 course pyramids that are in the Giza plateau. So it's still a puzzle because 49 00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:53.360 other than Plato's writings, we don't have any evidence of this place called Atlantis. 50 00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:58.360 I'm going to play a quick primer here called Lost City of Atlantis that 51 00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:05.839 describes Atlantis and presents it in the format that Plato wrote about. So let's 52 00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:13.639 have a quick listen. What if Atlantis was not just a myth but a 53 00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:18.040 real civilization that existed thousands of years ago? And what if there is evidence 54 00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:23.319 that Atlantis was not only advanced and prosperous, but also had a dark and 55 00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:28.720 violent side that led to its downfall? Would you believe it? And if 56 00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:33.040 so, how did it disappear from its origins and legends to its possible location 57 00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:39.680 and fate. Atlantis was first mentioned by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato in his 58 00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:45.560 works Timeus and Critius. According to Plato, Atlantis was a naval empire that 59 00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:49.959 ruled over many lands, but it was destroyed by a great cataclysm and sank 60 00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:56.439 into the sea. Plato used Atlantis as an allegory for the dangers of hubris 61 00:07:56.480 --> 00:08:03.120 and corruption, and as a contrast to his ideal state of Athens. But 62 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:09.079 where was Atlantis located and what was it like? Plato gave some clues in 63 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:16.120 his dialogues, but they were vague and contradictory. He said that Atlantis was 64 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:20.439 beyond the Pillars of Hercules, which are usually identified with the Straits of Gibraltar. 65 00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:26.720 He also said that Atlantis was larger than Libya and Asia combined, which 66 00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:31.720 is impossible. He described Atlantis as having a circular shape with concentric rings of 67 00:08:31.799 --> 00:08:37.879 land and water. He said that Atlantis had a rich and diverse culture with 68 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:43.519 temples, palaces, gardens, canals, and fountains. He also said that 69 00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:48.440 Atlantis had a powerful army and navy with advanced weapons and technology. But Plato 70 00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:54.720 also hinted at some dark aspects of Atlantis. He said that Atlantis was ruled 71 00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.960 by a dynasty of kings who descended from Poseidon, the god of the sea. 72 00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:03.360 He said that the kings became greedy and arrogant and tried to conquer the 73 00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:09.720 whole world. He said that Atlantis waged war against Athens and other civilizations, 74 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:15.480 but was defeated by the Athenians. He said that Zeus, the king of 75 00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:20.600 the gods, decided to punish Atlantis for its wickedness and sent earthquakes and floods 76 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:28.080 that submerged the island in one day and night. Plato's story of Atlantis has 77 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:33.039 inspired many people to search for the lost island or to link it to other 78 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:39.200 ancient civilizations. Some people have tried to find Atlantis in the Atlantic Ocean, 79 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:45.519 the Mediterranean Sea, the Caribbean Sea, or even Antarctica. Some people have 80 00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:50.039 tried to connect Atlantis with the volcanic eruption of Thera, the invasion of the 81 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:54.919 Sea peoples, or the Trojan War. Some people have even claimed that Atlantis 82 00:09:54.960 --> 00:10:00.639 was a real continent that shifted to its current location due to to a sudden 83 00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:05.240 movement of the Earth's crust, but none of these theories has been conclusively proven 84 00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:09.639 or widely accepted by scholars. Most scholars agree that Plato invented the story of 85 00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:16.440 Atlantis as a fictional device to illustrate his philosophical ideas and to criticize the Athenian 86 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:22.720 Society. They argue that there is no historical or archaeological evidence for Atlantis and 87 00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:30.200 its supposed achievements, and that Plato's account is full of contradictions and anachronisms. 88 00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:37.919 Atlantis is a fascinating topic that raises many questions and challenges our imagination. Whether 89 00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:41.080 it was real or not, it remains a mystery that we may never solve, 90 00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:46.759 but maybe that's what makes it so appealing. Leave your comments below. 91 00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:52.639 What do you think about Atlantis? Do you believe it existed, where do 92 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:54.639 you think it was located? And what do you think happened to it? 93 00:10:56.039 --> 00:11:00.919 Thank you for watching this video on the Lost City of Atlanta. If you 94 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:05.879 enjoyed it, please like, share, and subscribe for more videos on interesting 95 00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:16.320 topics. One thing I have found in my studies of the Maya and other 96 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:24.840 Mesoamerican or Mexican and Central American cultures is the fact that many of them claimed 97 00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:31.320 that their ancestors came from a continent in the Atlantic Ocean, most notably the 98 00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:37.440 Maya. In fact, there is a well known graph or a relief carved 99 00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:45.759 on a standing stone or a stile that has an individual in a boat and 100 00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:52.159 he looks like he is trying to escape from some form of a catastrophe. 101 00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:58.559 We're not sure though, and it's been referred to for decades. We don't 102 00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:05.080 really know a great deal about Atlantis, and my hope and many others is 103 00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:11.519 that at some point an excavation will uncovera codis a Mayan book, or there 104 00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:15.600 will be another document found in some place in Europe or the Mediterranean, or 105 00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:20.840 any place even in Egypt. The many temples that haven't been excavated yet may 106 00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:28.320 uncover more data on the survivors of Atlantis. So it'd be great to have 107 00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:35.759 a new perspective from an old document that would really be fascinating. So our 108 00:12:35.799 --> 00:13:30.120 program today is Atlantis Ireland and my guest is Anthony Woods. There's a lot 109 00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:35.600 of discussion on the topic of Atlantis, and many people feel that it is 110 00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:43.000 completely lost. There's a lot of suggestions that it's under the water off the 111 00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:50.639 coast of Portugal or Spain, and then there's a there's a couple of people 112 00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:56.480 who are talking about evidence of it being in parts of Africa. I've seen 113 00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:03.080 images of what looks like a geological landform of circular formations, which is something 114 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:09.080 that Plato talked about in his discussion of Atlantis. But today we're talking about 115 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:15.879 a whole different look and it's the land of Ireland. The books called Atlantis 116 00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:20.320 Ireland. And my guest today is Anthony Woods. Anthony is the CEO of 117 00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:26.919 Keystone University. He's a research investigator, obviously the author and I had a 118 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:30.360 chance to look at this book and I got to say this, it's got 119 00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:37.639 some great compelling evidence for Ireland being potentially Atlantis. But we're going to find 120 00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:41.559 out more about this today and I want you to listen closely to some of 121 00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:46.960 the data that's coming through in this book, which is I think fairly well 122 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:48.720 research. And this is why we have Anthony on the program. Anthony, 123 00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:54.159 welcome to Earth Ancient's great to see how you doing today. I'm doing great. 124 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:58.200 Thank you so much for having me. What got you started on this? 125 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:03.559 I mean, as a as an irishman, you know you you probably 126 00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:09.200 were raised around these megaliths, these stone circles. I mean, Ireland's filled 127 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:13.360 with evidence of Stone Age people. But what what was the kind of the 128 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:20.000 impetus for you to create a book on it. Great question. Yeah, 129 00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:24.759 my background, I'm a polymath. I believe thousands of different subjects, everything 130 00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:31.919 from astronomy to zoology and everything in between. And there are several subjects that 131 00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:37.480 are particularly close to my heart, and ancient history is one of them. 132 00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:43.919 When I looked at the origins of civilization, when I studied that, it 133 00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:48.679 was very clear that there was a lot of major pieces missing. And the 134 00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:54.720 more I looked at ancient civilizations, the more I could see that man is 135 00:15:54.919 --> 00:16:02.320 much much older than our present academic style tell us much much older. That 136 00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:07.720 man has been sailing the season the oceans for hundreds of thousands of years. 137 00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:15.679 That has now been proven, and that the story that we're told about ancient 138 00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:21.960 civilization is at best missing a lot of key pieces. And it was an 139 00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:26.200 area I wanted to research. I did pretty deeply, and I came to 140 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:33.720 the conclusion that obviously, when you're studying ancient civilization, you have to delve 141 00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:40.720 into I guess, the fantasies, you know, the Hyperborea, Atlantis, 142 00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:45.840 the Aryans, all that stuff. I don't think it's wise to only study 143 00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:49.960 mainstream and I don't think it's wise to only study crackpot ideas. But I 144 00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:53.080 think if you studied them all you can get a nice synthesis of things. 145 00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:59.279 And Yeah, when I looked at the ancient Irish history right up until the 146 00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:03.159 present time, and it was quite obvious to me that there's a lot more 147 00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:10.000 pieces to be filled in and maybe my work will maybe one of those little 148 00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:15.480 pieces to help future scholars make some breakthrough. That's ultimately why I created this 149 00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:18.960 work. Yeah, we're going to talk about some of these great ideas and 150 00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:26.279 evidence, your components that you bring into this. Talk a little bit about 151 00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:32.640 the organization the Keystone University. This is something that you are the CEO of. 152 00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:37.279 What is Keystone University. It's a school of advanced studies, it's really 153 00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:42.079 what it is. We have a small team of polymats and maverick researchers and 154 00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:48.200 well research just anything we want to. We're financially and academically independent. Then 155 00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:52.200 do paid research for anybody. We don't. You know, we own a 156 00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:56.000 bunch of companies that pays for our research. So we're a small team, 157 00:17:56.000 --> 00:18:03.680 but we're independent, and most importantly, we're financially and academically independent. I 158 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:11.680 think that's ever more important in there is a serious financing problem with academic at 159 00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:14.279 the moment. It's it's very very obvious. Yeah, I like what you're 160 00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:21.960 saying, so you're not behooving to some universities the game. And it sounds 161 00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:23.680 like Keystone is kind of a think tank. Is that what you would? 162 00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:29.880 Is that a good? Yeah? We have three different divisions to what we 163 00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:34.680 do. So we have education. Education obviously, we run seminars now and 164 00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:40.079 again teach. Business is obviously the main thing we teach because that's what the 165 00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:44.799 demand is and you know, I'm an entrepreneur as well as as a researcher. 166 00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:49.039 We also have a research division, which we call Electrum, and in 167 00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:55.279 that we research anything we want. So history is one I recently did work 168 00:18:55.319 --> 00:19:00.200 on black holes and how I a brand new theory? Is black holes really 169 00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:06.079 work? I've done work on mathematics. I've done work on several different things. 170 00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:15.079 And ultimately, we're building an organization where scholars, where academics are financially 171 00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:22.200 and academically free to pursue, but they want to research, not what someone 172 00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:26.200 is paying them to research, or not something that doesn't fire them. And 173 00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:32.400 the last thing the world needs is more uninspired researchers who are you know, 174 00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:36.480 doing work just to put food on the table. I completely understand why one 175 00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:41.920 would do that. I get it, but I think ultimately, listen, 176 00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:47.359 everything goes in cycles. If we look at our modern education system, it's 177 00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:51.640 very obvious it needs an evolution. There are a lot of wonderful things, 178 00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:55.519 and no question about that. But at the same time, there are a 179 00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:59.680 lot of improvements that need to be made. If I look at this, 180 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.200 skills that are needed in the in the modern world. Problem solving is a 181 00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:10.519 big one, creative is a big one. Essentially joining the dots, you 182 00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:14.839 know, coming up with completely new ideas and solutions. These are all big 183 00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:21.039 skills. Yet there's skills that the modern system frowns upon. And if I'm 184 00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:26.119 really blunt about it, if most kids go to school, college and don't 185 00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:32.799 ever learn the skill of solving problems, the skill of creative thinking, the 186 00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:37.640 skill of innovation and creation, listen, the education system of the past is 187 00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:40.599 not going to create the future. We want to create the future. We 188 00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:45.160 want to create an education system that's fit for purpose, and it starts with 189 00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:49.799 one small organization that gets bigger and bigger and bigger, you know, and 190 00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:55.240 essentially dedicated my life to building the best university the world has ever seen. 191 00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:59.279 Our mission is to push the human race forward, and that will only be 192 00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:07.759 done by creating advanced ideas and technology and teaching, yeah, to evolutionize things. 193 00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:11.039 Yeah, I kind of get a sense of that in the book. 194 00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:17.279 And also it's funny I read an article that you wrote in Ancient Origins magazine 195 00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:22.519 and it actually says in the very beginning that you discovered around a thousand pieces 196 00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:27.839 of evidence. I don't know if this is our documents or maps or whatever 197 00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:37.480 that are uniquely aligned to your belief that Ireland was at one point atlantis. 198 00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:42.319 Talk about the documentation that your team found, maybe one or two pieces, 199 00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:49.400 like, I mean, there's a there's a picture in this article of an 200 00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:56.960 individual who is pointing to a map. Talk a little bit about that. 201 00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:03.799 Yeah, okay, Well the first things first, Unfortunately, for serious scholars, 202 00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:10.519 the word atlantis has become a byword for crackpots. Yeah, all that 203 00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:15.759 sort of stuff. So for any of your serious listeners out there, obviously, 204 00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:18.359 when it comes to Land, to some people like indulging and fantasies, 205 00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:22.920 and that's fine too. What I'm interested in is the origin and development and 206 00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:27.599 the progressive of civilization. That's what I'm really interested in. So the atlantis 207 00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:33.519 that Plato described obviously did not exist, very very obviously. Idiot. Really, 208 00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:38.039 my thinking is, why waste our time on a wild goose chase. 209 00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:44.119 Why not go to the source. And the source of Plato's legend was ancient 210 00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:51.119 Egypt. When we go to ancient Egypt, we find records of an island 211 00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:57.200 of Flame, a land somewhere in the Atlantic. There are many connections between 212 00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:07.079 ancient Ireland and ancient Egypt, even in in when it was that a couple 213 00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:12.200 of decades ago they found an Egyptian prince buried in Ireland. M hm, 214 00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:19.400 Now why is that not a major development in the ancient I'm sorry, you 215 00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:26.319 said a prince of Egypt, an Egyptian prince and his necklace had Egyptian needs. 216 00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:33.240 Wow, I haven't heard of this. There was also what's called a 217 00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:38.920 Barbary ape, which again is found in North Africa. Again bones found in 218 00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:48.440 Ireland. There are slivers of connections there. But these things are not They're 219 00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:52.759 consigned to the dust spin of forbidden history. You know, if it doesn't 220 00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:56.119 fit, it doesn't exist type attitude. So what you're saying is that because 221 00:23:56.160 --> 00:24:02.400 it's an anomaly, the typical universities are and ignore it or overlook it as 222 00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:07.799 a as a just a freak of nature, and not study it in the 223 00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:15.200 same way that they would study something, say in Egypt or another another country. 224 00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:21.240 Yeah, what I'm basically saying is, for the most part, if 225 00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:26.160 something doesn't fit, it doesn't exist. Let's forget about ancient history for a 226 00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:30.240 moment. Let's look at something a lot more every day, like medisine. 227 00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:37.240 And the most cutting edge medicine on the planet today is fag therapy. And 228 00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:41.720 I hope I'm pronouncing that right and maybe pronounced slightly different in America. But 229 00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:48.599 bacteriophigs are a type of virus that attack bacteria. So, for example, 230 00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:53.240 you can use these to attack ecoli, salmonala whatever. That has been used 231 00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:59.359 for over one hundred years around the world. But today it's moving towards the 232 00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:03.240 midstrym. It's still considered a little bit crackpot, but it's certainly taken more 233 00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:08.000 credible than it was ten years ago or twenty years or fifty years ago. 234 00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:15.599 And here's the thing. If something moves from the fringe to the center to 235 00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:22.480 the mainstream, the people who were promoting that idea a generation ago were considered 236 00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:30.039 at best were labeled crackpots, and scientists at worst had career assassinations, had 237 00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:33.799 their fund cut, and all this sort of stuff. So in every one 238 00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:38.759 of the benefits of being a polymath is that I have to be very efficient 239 00:25:38.920 --> 00:25:42.279 in what I study. I'm not going to waste four or five years of 240 00:25:42.279 --> 00:25:49.240 my life learning one little, teeny tiny subject. Makes a lot more sense 241 00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:56.039 to do intense learning in hundreds and thousands of subjects over time, and you 242 00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:59.079 end up joining the dots. You end up seeing a few things that I 243 00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:07.319 can I think, what comes to my study on ancient history. I studied 244 00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:14.319 astronomy, I studied archaeo astronomy, astro theology, theology, construction, architecture, 245 00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:18.319 mathematics, language, the origins of writing, genetics, and I could 246 00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:23.799 go on and on and on. But when you're putting that background into a 247 00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:30.319 subject, you're able to spot things pretty quickly. And one of the earliest 248 00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:37.759 things I spotted when it came to researching ancient civilizations was there is a lot 249 00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:42.000 of evidence that early man has been sailing for hundreds of thousands of years. 250 00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:48.359 Yea most recently, probably the most recent one I read, was pretty conclusive 251 00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:55.400 evidence that early man sale the Mediterranean see around four hundred and fifty thousand years 252 00:26:55.400 --> 00:26:59.240 old, possibly as early as seven hundred thousand years ago, four hundred and 253 00:26:59.240 --> 00:27:07.359 fifty thousand years they were sailing from where Italy to Africa or the Mediterranean Sea. 254 00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:10.799 So what they've found, you know, and any of your leaders can 255 00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:15.279 google this very easily. If you just google four hundred and fifty thousand year 256 00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:22.440 old sailing Mediterranean Sea, you'll find it pretty pretty quickly. There were what 257 00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:26.759 is when I read that it was about sailing in the Theugan Islands and in 258 00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:30.559 and around the Mediterranean Sea. I don't know if that was from mainland Greece 259 00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:36.240 out I presume it was, But the point being four hundred and fifty thousand 260 00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:41.160 years ago, here we have early man sailing, building boats and sailing. 261 00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:48.440 Let's move a little bit closer to today. Three hundred thousand years ago a 262 00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:53.000 boomerang like object, it was a hunting weapon, was found in Germany, 263 00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:56.279 so it was it was made three hundred thousand years ago, was found relatively 264 00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:03.640 recently in Germany. So hang on a Here we have man three hundred thousand 265 00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:07.440 years ago, so sophisticated. He could take a piece of he or she. 266 00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:11.960 Obviously, when I say man for the benefit of all those out there, 267 00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:18.000 I'm talking human kind. I'm talking humanity. But humanity was so advanced, 268 00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:22.880 or elements of it three hundred odds thousand years ago. They could take 269 00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:26.319 a piece of timber and they could fashion it with whatever tools they had to 270 00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:32.519 create a hunting weapon that operated a little bit like a boomerang that was discovered 271 00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:36.960 and published in the last month or two. I very much doubt any of 272 00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:41.440 your listeners today could create that technology. I know I certainly. Let's be 273 00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:47.920 a little closer to today. Let's go back fifty ish thousand years ago. 274 00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:55.960 It's absolutely conclusively proven that man sales to Australia, almost certainly from Indonesia, 275 00:28:56.039 --> 00:29:00.720 but certainly they sale to Australia. So now we've got a track record of 276 00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:07.279 four hundred and fifty odd thousand years ago. Early man was sailing the Mediterranean. 277 00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:14.000 Fast forward to three hundred thousand years ago, they were making boomerang like 278 00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:18.000 type hunting objects. Again, you can google thiss quite easy to find fifty 279 00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:22.400 thousand years ago who were sailing to Australia. This has all been proven. 280 00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:30.359 Why is it such a difficulty for academics to realize that man was saying ten 281 00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:34.400 thousand years ago, twenty thousand years ago. It's absurd, it's absolutely yeah, 282 00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:40.640 and I understand, you know. My thinking on it is that our 283 00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:52.000 history books have been written by in most cases linkered historians and academics, quite 284 00:29:52.039 --> 00:30:00.000 often with a political agenda, and quite often based on in many cases, 285 00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:03.079 if you read some of the books from maybe a century or two ago, 286 00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:10.480 pretty racist ideas, and all of this stuff has fed into a narrative that 287 00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:18.519 essentially says nothing happened on the planet until somewhere around five ten thousand years ago 288 00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:23.079 in the exact same place all the main religions of the world's magic books appeared 289 00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:29.839 from, and nothing happened anywhere else. And that narrative has led through to 290 00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:36.359 today, where the reality is we have evidence that we humans today, have 291 00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:41.440 evidence that people have sailed for hundreds of thousands of years. There is evidence 292 00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:48.400 that even actually just this month, there was a tooth found in Germany and 293 00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:53.000 haminin tooth nine point seven million years old, a couple of million years older 294 00:30:53.000 --> 00:31:02.640 than anything ever found in Africa. It's starting to look like early humans were 295 00:31:02.720 --> 00:31:08.160 all over the world a lot longer than we realized exactly. Talk a little 296 00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:14.119 bit about and this is interesting because you're in around the Dublin area. I'm 297 00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:21.799 really curious to know about folklore, Irish folklore or myths that kind of pull 298 00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:30.440 together your sense that this could be the fabled Atlantis. Okay, well, 299 00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:36.319 what is Atlantis? Let's define it first. I would define it as being 300 00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:41.279 an island in the Atlantic. That is the truest meaning of the word atlantis, 301 00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:45.960 which purely means Atlantic. I would define it as a very early, 302 00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:53.720 relatively advanced people. And what I mean advanced, I'm not talking walkie talkies 303 00:31:53.759 --> 00:31:59.839 and mobile phones. I'm talking decent technology for their time and history, and 304 00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:07.839 a seafaring people. And I think at the root of pretty much every Atlantis 305 00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:14.359 legend or story or whatever, you will find those common animals an island in 306 00:32:14.400 --> 00:32:20.440 Atlantic, relatively advanced Stone Age people who had boats. Okay, if we 307 00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:27.599 look at Irish mythology, there are literally thousands upon thousands of records of sailing 308 00:32:27.599 --> 00:32:30.640 to other countries, sailing to Greece, sailing to Egypt, sailing to Mauritania, 309 00:32:31.279 --> 00:32:36.160 sailing all over the place. I mean thousands of records of them. 310 00:32:36.920 --> 00:32:44.799 We have the people who in Irish mythology built New Grange, Bruna Buyina built 311 00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:49.920 some of the most spectacular mounds I found, not just in Ireland but anywhere 312 00:32:49.920 --> 00:32:54.599 on the planet, stories of when they were constructed, which is the mythology 313 00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:59.880 that we are left with today. There are grains of truth in that that 314 00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:08.799 are being It's wise not to take mythology literally. It's foolished to completely ignore 315 00:33:08.839 --> 00:33:13.119 it and not realize that, Yeah, there's a gree of truth in this. 316 00:33:13.799 --> 00:33:15.880 Yeah, I'm kind of also referring to oral traditions, you know what 317 00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:22.240 I mean. Here in the United States, there are indigenous oral traditions of 318 00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:31.000 the Native people about ancient settlements that recently have come to bear evidence of one 319 00:33:31.079 --> 00:33:38.119 hundred thousand plus years, which is blowing people away. And as the archaeologists 320 00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:45.000 begin to refer to the different clans of different tribes, then they can kind 321 00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:47.240 of say, yes, this is a story that appears to be true. 322 00:33:49.079 --> 00:33:54.599 So talk a little bit about the oral traditions of the people. And when 323 00:33:54.640 --> 00:33:59.799 you say records, how do we what are these? Are these written records 324 00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:07.960 of seafaring travels that would kind of make you think this is you know, 325 00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:15.000 my thinking of Atlantis. Yeah, when I say records. Fortunately, what 326 00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:22.719 I'm referring to is ancient stories and folklore that was eventually, originally would have 327 00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:28.440 been from ear to mouth. It was originally oral storytelling, and it was 328 00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:35.960 eventually written down, you know, many many centuries ago. So there are 329 00:34:36.199 --> 00:34:42.360 several in Irish mythology. They those are people called the the Danam, a 330 00:34:42.400 --> 00:34:47.320 little bit difficult to pronounce sometimes, but who means tribe, and the Danam 331 00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:53.880 essentially means tribe of the goddess Danu or Anu. And as I'm sure you 332 00:34:53.960 --> 00:35:00.280 know, Annu is a goddess and many many ancient peoples from Smer and some 333 00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:07.880 reference in Egypt all over the place. Now the Dannon's where the ancient kings 334 00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:14.039 of Ireland, probably the most famous of them would be Lou and who hull 335 00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:15.639 them? They would be two of the most famous, although there were many. 336 00:35:16.199 --> 00:35:21.639 Now there are several records of stories involving Lou, for example, where 337 00:35:21.679 --> 00:35:27.639 people sailed to Greece, where people sailed to Egypt to mauritaning. As I 338 00:35:27.719 --> 00:35:32.679 mentioned earlier on, why would somebody be pasting on stories of ancient people sailing 339 00:35:32.679 --> 00:35:37.639 to Greece and Egypt and so forth. How would they've even known those places 340 00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:44.119 exist unless there was there was legitimacy to it. One of the stories that 341 00:35:44.280 --> 00:35:52.639 recently made made the international news is and I'm just on my computer here, 342 00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:57.119 I have an article from the BBC and the title of it is d NA 343 00:35:57.360 --> 00:36:05.880 study reveals Ireland's Age of God Kings And essentially there's an old myth where a 344 00:36:05.960 --> 00:36:13.519 brother and a sister created a child inbred. Has happened in ancient Egypt and 345 00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:17.519 happened in many places. That old myth, it turns out, has an 346 00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:22.880 element of truth to it. Quite recently they discovered DNA from New Grange and 347 00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:29.079 it reveals that the parents were first degree relatives, probably a brother and a 348 00:36:29.119 --> 00:36:32.079 system. So there should be greative truth. There was in the mythology, 349 00:36:32.199 --> 00:36:40.079 in an elaborate story, and yet all these years later we find some physical, 350 00:36:40.159 --> 00:36:45.039 hard evidence that maybe there's a little bit more of this than meets the 351 00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:49.559 eye. A second thing I would point out with ancient mythology, which I 352 00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:58.079 think is very important, is that even today, the sharpest minds on the 353 00:36:58.119 --> 00:37:05.599 planet typically involved in space, ie astronomy and that sort of stuff, or 354 00:37:05.639 --> 00:37:10.000 on advanced engineering. So even today that's that's pretty much the same man hasn't 355 00:37:10.079 --> 00:37:15.280 changed in one hundred thousand years. That's always been the case. If we 356 00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:20.519 go back to the time of New Grange, which by the way is probably 357 00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:23.880 in fact, I'm certain it's much much older than they realize. But nevertheless, 358 00:37:23.960 --> 00:37:29.920 if we just take the accepted date, which is older than Stonehenge, 359 00:37:29.960 --> 00:37:32.440 which is older than the Pyramids. The people who built that, the the 360 00:37:32.559 --> 00:37:38.519 Damends who I mentioned, they were so sophisticated. They could move two hundred 361 00:37:38.559 --> 00:37:46.679 thousand tons of material to and around the site. They could align the site 362 00:37:47.039 --> 00:37:52.639 precisely with the winter solstice, so that on the winter solstice, the sun's 363 00:37:52.679 --> 00:37:58.719 golden rays shine into the womb that is the mound. See, the ancients 364 00:37:58.760 --> 00:38:01.880 believe the mound was a womb. It was basically Mother Earth, father had 365 00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:07.320 and her father's son and her father sky. Like the word havn't means sky, 366 00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:14.440 so the entrance the mound was symbolic of the pregnant belly was a womb. 367 00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:22.280 The light entered it precisely at the salstice. Nine months later the crops 368 00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:25.519 were harvested. That's how insue these people were. These people pretty advanced for 369 00:38:25.559 --> 00:38:32.199 their time. So the people who built New Grange were able to move two 370 00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:37.519 hundred thousand tons of material to and around the site. They were able to 371 00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:44.079 perfectly align it to the winter salstice. And what's been absolutely proven beyond a 372 00:38:44.199 --> 00:38:50.480 shadow of a doubt is that they were able to take dozens of massive boulders 373 00:38:50.480 --> 00:38:54.639 to the site from thirty kilometers away by both Yeah, you mentioned that in 374 00:38:54.960 --> 00:39:01.159 your book that the average size of the stones was about ten tons, that 375 00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:06.639 they did you actually find the quarry. Doesn't say that in the book. 376 00:39:07.079 --> 00:39:12.719 So you located the quarry and so they had to put these ten ton stones 377 00:39:13.360 --> 00:39:21.320 on a boat, go up the ocean and then get them to New Grange 378 00:39:21.880 --> 00:39:24.719 for the construction. So talk a little bit about that. That's pretty significant. 379 00:39:27.039 --> 00:39:30.280 Now. The quarry itself was fined by others. I read about it. 380 00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:35.280 I'm a little bit like I would prefer stand on the shoulders of giants 381 00:39:35.320 --> 00:39:39.679 and myself. So it was fined by others. It's a particular type of 382 00:39:39.760 --> 00:39:45.559 stone called greywacky g r E y W A c k E and it only 383 00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:51.039 occurs in one place on the island of Ireland, a place called Cloverhead in 384 00:39:51.119 --> 00:39:55.280 Country Lived, which is in which is is on the shore. So these 385 00:39:55.320 --> 00:40:02.760 guys it was thirty kilometers by boat from New Grange, and these people were 386 00:40:02.800 --> 00:40:08.119 able to harvest. If you like the stone ten ton boulder, you imagine 387 00:40:08.360 --> 00:40:14.800 what it would take to get that onto a boat. Yeah, take it 388 00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:21.159 down the Irish Sea and then going against the current of the river up the 389 00:40:21.239 --> 00:40:27.960 Buying River to New Grange. Thirty kilometer journey in total. Unload this ten 390 00:40:28.039 --> 00:40:32.719 ton boulder, roll or pull it or whatever up a hill, organize it 391 00:40:32.760 --> 00:40:38.320 around the site and then stand it. It's pretty sophisticated work. I've spoke 392 00:40:38.400 --> 00:40:45.360 to several people who own boats and I asked them what sort of boat would 393 00:40:45.400 --> 00:40:51.239 you need to carry a ten ton boulder? And when they showed me, 394 00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:55.559 I was quite blown away by how sophisticated it would need to be. Obviously, 395 00:40:55.639 --> 00:41:00.239 back then there was probably some sort of raft type thing. It was 396 00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:05.159 probable by horses would make the most sense, or cattle, but either way 397 00:41:05.480 --> 00:41:10.800 transporting that and it was almost one hundred times that journey happened. If you 398 00:41:10.840 --> 00:41:19.360 look at New Grange, the front of it is faced with quartz. Again, 399 00:41:19.440 --> 00:41:22.360 it was taken quite a distance to it as well. So these people 400 00:41:22.519 --> 00:41:30.119 were very obviously organized, highly highly organized. There are different estimates as to 401 00:41:30.159 --> 00:41:35.519 how many workers were on site. The lowest I've seen, which is what 402 00:41:35.559 --> 00:41:38.280 I've used in the book, was three hundred. The highest estimate I've seen 403 00:41:38.360 --> 00:41:44.199 is ten thousand, probably somewhere in the middle, but I tend to go 404 00:41:44.239 --> 00:41:49.800 with the lower estimates if I'm in any doubt. But these guys were masters 405 00:41:49.960 --> 00:41:55.559 of managing people. As a guy that runs businesses, managing three people's pretty 406 00:41:55.599 --> 00:42:00.199 tough. Never mind three hundred or maybe a few thousand were obviously masters of 407 00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:09.440 construction. New Grange inside it has a corbeled ruth and it's it still stands 408 00:42:09.480 --> 00:42:13.440 to this day, and it's quite a remarkable place when you're in it. 409 00:42:14.400 --> 00:42:19.440 And they were obviously masters of astronomy, which means they were masters of mathematics, 410 00:42:19.760 --> 00:42:23.239 because it's impossible to align a building to the winter solstice without having a 411 00:42:23.559 --> 00:42:29.960 very fine knowledge of astronomy and mathematics. It's probably one of the things. 412 00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:32.800 It's probably the main reason I decided to write this book. Because I'm in 413 00:42:32.880 --> 00:42:36.760 writing it, I was going to get all the usual crap. You know, 414 00:42:36.920 --> 00:42:38.719 you're you're only saying it because you're from Ireland. You know, you're 415 00:42:38.719 --> 00:42:45.360 a pseudo scientist, all this sort of stuff, calling the lot easier than 416 00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:51.320 actually assessing the evidence. But actually the thing, the main motivation, or 417 00:42:51.360 --> 00:42:57.760 that the trigger point to write it was to this very day, the official 418 00:42:58.039 --> 00:43:04.119 history of Ireland is there was no writing in Ireland until about the fourth or 419 00:43:04.119 --> 00:43:08.920 fifth century. That is, to this day is still the dogma of academia. 420 00:43:09.400 --> 00:43:15.320 Now returning to mythology again, there are hundreds and hundreds of stories of 421 00:43:15.440 --> 00:43:20.599 people at the time of New Grange using writing. It's called the o writing 422 00:43:21.719 --> 00:43:24.119 and the own writing. It's very obvious when you look at it. It's 423 00:43:24.159 --> 00:43:29.440 a primitive form of writing based on your five fingers. It's five strokes, 424 00:43:29.840 --> 00:43:32.760 you know, very obviously quite a primitive thing. And you notice in the 425 00:43:32.760 --> 00:43:38.679 book I traced the progression of many things, the progression of writing and architecture 426 00:43:38.719 --> 00:43:43.320 and different things. Yeah, talk a little bit about that. It's like 427 00:43:43.480 --> 00:43:49.960 five strokes on a rock or or whatever, but that's kind of their writing. 428 00:43:50.079 --> 00:43:55.000 Five strokes in different angles means it's I guess it's kind of the alphabet, 429 00:43:55.119 --> 00:44:01.360 right. It was a very ancient alphabet and had multiple applications. And 430 00:44:01.639 --> 00:44:07.519 the interesting thing is there were multiple forms of it. There were somewhere around 431 00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:14.800 one hundred and fifty different variations of the ohm riding. So these guys just 432 00:44:14.840 --> 00:44:16.800 have one alphabet. They had around one hundred and fifty of them. But 433 00:44:16.840 --> 00:44:22.239 the core tenant of it is there were five strokes and they could go sideways, 434 00:44:22.639 --> 00:44:28.320 slanted upwards, slanted downwards. It was very obviously at the time used 435 00:44:28.440 --> 00:44:31.480 as a primitive alphabet, but also as a sign langage and maybe perhaps there's 436 00:44:31.480 --> 00:44:37.320 a second and device things like this. Those of us who study music will 437 00:44:37.320 --> 00:44:42.360 know that the number five is synonymous with the pentatonic scale, which is the 438 00:44:42.400 --> 00:44:46.679 scale that the harp and actually quite a lot of instruments even to this day. 439 00:44:47.000 --> 00:44:52.000 Guitar players use the pentatonic scale for you know, for lead guitar and 440 00:44:52.039 --> 00:45:00.280 things like that. It's thought that the five, the multiples of five used 441 00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:04.519 in the own writing would have been a musical scale as well. I think 442 00:45:04.519 --> 00:45:07.960 that's probable. I'm not certain of it, but I think it is probable. 443 00:45:08.000 --> 00:45:13.119 In Irish mythology, own writing is like, it's really difficult to read 444 00:45:13.159 --> 00:45:19.320 an Irish story without own writing in it. Oh yeah, there's there's numerous 445 00:45:19.360 --> 00:45:24.480 references, so this would be think of the bizarre nature of this if you 446 00:45:24.599 --> 00:45:29.800 read and I have read many of them writings from say, ancient Egypt, 447 00:45:30.119 --> 00:45:35.519 and it speaks about that we used hieroglyphics. Nobody's coming to say, yeah, 448 00:45:35.559 --> 00:45:38.199 the Christians introduced hiroodlythics to Egypt. No, obviously the Egyptians had a 449 00:45:38.280 --> 00:45:44.559 fall writing. Yet there's a bizarre double standard with Irish history where we have 450 00:45:44.880 --> 00:45:51.039 hundreds, probably thousands actually of ancient myths and stories that speak about the Druids, 451 00:45:51.079 --> 00:45:54.719 that speak about the d Danans and others using the own writing. And 452 00:45:54.840 --> 00:45:59.639 yet no, no, there was no writing in ancient Ireland. They could 453 00:45:59.719 --> 00:46:05.119 carry ten tons both bowlers by boat, they could build constructions for two hundred 454 00:46:05.119 --> 00:46:09.400 thousand tons of material. They had such advanced mathematics they could predict precisely the 455 00:46:09.400 --> 00:46:15.199 mood of the sun. But they couldn't write. We're going to take a 456 00:46:15.239 --> 00:46:21.880 short commercial break to allow our sponsors to identify themselves, and we will return 457 00:46:22.039 --> 00:47:01.840 shortly with my guest today, Anthony Woods. You're right back. My guest 458 00:47:01.840 --> 00:47:07.760 today is Anthony Woods, who has authored a new book called Atlantis Ireland, 459 00:47:07.440 --> 00:47:13.280 and he has filled this book with a lot of great evidence for not only 460 00:47:13.320 --> 00:47:22.960 a Neolithic advanced culture, but also evidence for a possible maritime civilization. Do 461 00:47:23.039 --> 00:47:28.360 you find any of this writing that New Grange at all in or around the 462 00:47:28.400 --> 00:47:32.480 exterior or interior? That's a question. Yeah. And also while we're on 463 00:47:32.519 --> 00:47:39.920 that subject, New Grange is an amazing megalithic building. It's perfectly round, 464 00:47:40.800 --> 00:47:46.320 it has beautiful construction and it looks like an observatory. Would you say that's 465 00:47:46.360 --> 00:47:53.440 what it was made for or is there a multifunction aspect to it? Definitely 466 00:47:53.519 --> 00:48:00.639 multifunction And the lowest common denominator for any historian be a too. You know, 467 00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:04.880 like this is always been all around the world. It must be a 468 00:48:04.880 --> 00:48:07.719 two, must be a two. And yeah, of course it was. 469 00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:12.239 The two bones have been found inside it. There was an element of two. 470 00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:20.400 But it was a multipurpose building. There are old Irish myths that speak 471 00:48:20.440 --> 00:48:27.079 about it being a place where kings lived. In fact, New Grange was 472 00:48:27.119 --> 00:48:36.840 called the Mansion of the Buying, and interestingly enough, in Old Egypt the 473 00:48:36.920 --> 00:48:42.840 term mansion was also used to describe where the so called gods came from. 474 00:48:43.159 --> 00:48:47.320 Now, the gods, in my opinion, were just slightly more advanced people 475 00:48:47.400 --> 00:48:52.719 that we see this throughout history. Those that are a bit more advanced history. 476 00:48:52.519 --> 00:48:57.719 Usually you would see in ancient writings. People who were there were regular 477 00:48:57.760 --> 00:49:00.920 people that just had better technology. Maybe they had a arian on a horse 478 00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:04.559 or the spears or armor or something they were perceived as cause. But there 479 00:49:04.599 --> 00:49:08.119 were people. Going back to your question about New Grange, and there are 480 00:49:08.400 --> 00:49:13.840 stories where it was used to communicate with the dead. There are stories where 481 00:49:13.840 --> 00:49:21.320 it was used as if you like a castle for royalty, it was probably 482 00:49:21.519 --> 00:49:27.039 used. And there are also unusual acoustic properties in it, so it's it's 483 00:49:27.239 --> 00:49:30.559 highly likely it was used as some form of what we would call today a 484 00:49:30.679 --> 00:49:37.079 church and chanting. It's very very likely that was used as well. So 485 00:49:37.639 --> 00:49:44.360 I think to describe it as a tom only is pretty it doesn't disservice. 486 00:49:44.480 --> 00:49:51.480 I think New Grange and ancient mounds like it had had a much larger function 487 00:49:52.119 --> 00:49:57.119 than just very I think there were a type of of gathering place, a 488 00:49:57.199 --> 00:50:01.880 type of church, a type of potentially actually a type of hospital or a 489 00:50:01.920 --> 00:50:07.519 healing center, and I think a type of university. Because if you look 490 00:50:07.559 --> 00:50:15.480 at the carvings of around New Grange or some of the other minds and notice 491 00:50:15.679 --> 00:50:20.280 is a personal favorite of mine, it's got some very intricate carvings. These 492 00:50:20.320 --> 00:50:25.199 things were carved in stone for future generations. I think it was probably an 493 00:50:25.320 --> 00:50:30.840 educational aspect to it as well. Talk a little bit about the fact, 494 00:50:30.840 --> 00:50:36.920 and this is interesting how you came up with this. You say that very 495 00:50:36.960 --> 00:50:44.519 little excavation has been done on Ireland, and I find that just really strange, 496 00:50:44.679 --> 00:50:49.280 and it's almost like there's a bias against Ireland. In England. It 497 00:50:49.320 --> 00:50:53.679 seems like every week we see the evidence of a new standing stone or a 498 00:50:53.719 --> 00:51:00.159 circle has been found out in the middle of nowhere. Talk a bit about 499 00:51:00.559 --> 00:51:13.239 the lack of awareness of the stone circles and monuments and other stone identifications what 500 00:51:13.760 --> 00:51:19.159 we would call in America these standing stela, which are like markers with writing 501 00:51:19.239 --> 00:51:24.119 on them. Why is that? Why is it there's such a lack of 502 00:51:24.519 --> 00:51:31.320 excavation. Is it funding or the fact that it's just not been of interest 503 00:51:31.400 --> 00:51:42.079 to academia. It's probably a combination of things. Funding will in all areas 504 00:51:42.119 --> 00:51:46.519 of academic research be a major issue, although I don't think that's the primary 505 00:51:46.519 --> 00:51:54.719 one, because there are some excavations ongoing at the minute, and you know, 506 00:51:54.800 --> 00:51:59.760 I personally don't think it's much to do funding. I think it's probably 507 00:51:59.840 --> 00:52:04.760 more. I give an example, the Hill of Tara was the seat of 508 00:52:04.800 --> 00:52:08.360 the High King of Ireland. One of the structures. There are over one 509 00:52:08.480 --> 00:52:16.480 hundred unexcavated structures there. One of them was a six thousand square meter banquetting 510 00:52:16.480 --> 00:52:22.159 hall. The get around how large that is and it's never been excavated. 511 00:52:23.000 --> 00:52:28.920 So that's one site. I think probably one of the main reasons is and 512 00:52:29.239 --> 00:52:36.440 adued to it earlier on, there's such an abundance of megalithic and ancient structures 513 00:52:36.480 --> 00:52:44.840 in Ireland that the sheer volume of it has has probably meant that. Sorry, 514 00:52:44.880 --> 00:52:47.000 the sheer volume of it, coupled with perhaps a lack of interest and 515 00:52:47.039 --> 00:52:53.800 a lack of funding, has led to them not being excavated. Another thing 516 00:52:53.840 --> 00:53:00.800 I find quite bizarre is you mentioned England and the amount of Britain and the 517 00:53:00.800 --> 00:53:07.480 amount of research there. Very recently, I was reading an article about they 518 00:53:07.639 --> 00:53:15.920 found flint tools in Britain and there were several hundred thousand years old, and 519 00:53:15.960 --> 00:53:20.760 the article said, this is proof those people in Britain several hundred thousand years 520 00:53:20.800 --> 00:53:24.679 ago, the exact same stuff has been found in Ireland, and yet our 521 00:53:24.719 --> 00:53:29.800 genius academics tell us that, oh yeah, the icebergs, the ice sheets, 522 00:53:29.800 --> 00:53:32.719 that brought those to Ireland. Like, there's a bizarre double standard, 523 00:53:34.000 --> 00:53:37.920 and it appears to me that it's all based on the false belief that Ireland 524 00:53:38.039 --> 00:53:43.719 was completely frozen over during the ice Age, which is gibberish, absolutely gibberish. 525 00:53:44.079 --> 00:53:46.239 Parts of it was, but not the entire island. And then when 526 00:53:46.320 --> 00:53:52.880 you include the parts of Ireland that are submerged beneath the rising sea levels where 527 00:53:52.960 --> 00:53:57.960 megalits have been found, I might add, which pretty much proves they were 528 00:53:57.960 --> 00:54:04.039 built before the sea level rose. Imagine, there's too many sub aquatic megalithic 529 00:54:04.039 --> 00:54:08.920 builders. And parts of Ireland obviously didn't freeze over during the ice Age. 530 00:54:09.199 --> 00:54:14.920 There are parts of Scotland, which has a lot colder climate, that it 531 00:54:14.960 --> 00:54:19.840 has been proven didn't freeze over during the ice Age. They found compost piles, 532 00:54:19.920 --> 00:54:23.800 and they found lunar calendars and things like that. There are parts of 533 00:54:24.039 --> 00:54:32.039 Iceland that didn't freeze over. Why there's this bizarre dogma that all of our 534 00:54:32.400 --> 00:54:37.960 froze over during the ice Age. It's really quite perplexing, particularly when in 535 00:54:37.000 --> 00:54:44.840 the book I referenced dozens upon dozens of bones of animals, humans and various 536 00:54:44.880 --> 00:54:49.840 different things that were found in Ireland throughout the ice Age. So while the 537 00:54:49.960 --> 00:54:53.920 evidence is there to completely obliterate that, again it's just ignored, doesn't fit, 538 00:54:54.000 --> 00:55:00.280 doesn't exist. You know, it's Academics tend to be quite blinkered, 539 00:55:01.000 --> 00:55:06.199 and it's not hard to see why. Well, they have their ideas and 540 00:55:06.239 --> 00:55:12.159 they're they're thinking about something, and they'll use that as their foundation to go 541 00:55:12.199 --> 00:55:16.039 after something and not look at any other possibilities. So I totally hear what 542 00:55:16.079 --> 00:55:21.480 you're saying. Let's talk a little bit about the red haired jeans and I 543 00:55:21.639 --> 00:55:27.440 love this part of your book. Genetic evidence found in Ireland. Red haired 544 00:55:27.559 --> 00:55:31.840 mummies have been found in Egypt. In fact, Ramsey's second has red hair. 545 00:55:32.920 --> 00:55:38.400 You suggest that, apparently there's an Irish, an Irish explorer, Lawrence 546 00:55:38.920 --> 00:55:46.960 Waddell who found King Many's who was a pharaoh in Ireland. I didn't know 547 00:55:47.079 --> 00:55:52.360 that he actually found evidence of that. Now he's a controversial character. And 548 00:55:53.119 --> 00:56:00.119 Woddell, he was a bit of a bit of an Indiana Owns type character. 549 00:56:02.360 --> 00:56:09.920 He in knock Manny in Tyrone In is another ancient mound and he claims 550 00:56:09.960 --> 00:56:20.519 to have found a stone with the basically commemorating this is for Manes was laid 551 00:56:20.519 --> 00:56:25.840 to rest in the Egyptian tomb of many Is There was empty, there was 552 00:56:25.880 --> 00:56:31.320 no body, and there was just a carving that said he went to hold 553 00:56:31.440 --> 00:56:36.239 it again. I have it in the brig and I don't have reference to 554 00:56:36.280 --> 00:56:38.079 it right now, but the Saily, the gist of it was he went 555 00:56:38.199 --> 00:56:44.639 to the ancestral home of the Egyptians, the Sunset Island, which was in 556 00:56:44.679 --> 00:56:50.360 the Western Island and in the western Ocean the Atlantic, and he died there. 557 00:56:50.480 --> 00:56:54.760 So I think it's pretty interesting that the Egyptian record in his tomb had 558 00:56:54.800 --> 00:57:05.920 this piece of evidence, and a man in Ireland had a stone and mentioned 559 00:57:05.920 --> 00:57:12.320 this is where he was buried. It's worth digging into that lower a little 560 00:57:12.360 --> 00:57:19.000 longer and deeper. As I said earlier, there are a couple of connections 561 00:57:19.000 --> 00:57:22.239 with Ireland and Egypt. My personal favorite is the Egyptian prince. I think 562 00:57:22.239 --> 00:57:29.559 that's extremely compelling. And again it's not it's not talked about, it's it's 563 00:57:29.599 --> 00:57:31.760 ignored. Well, I mean, that's national geographic material, is what you're 564 00:57:31.800 --> 00:57:38.280 talking about when you're saying an Egyptian prince was found in Ireland. I would 565 00:57:38.280 --> 00:57:44.519 like to know more about that. And of course the artifacts left by the 566 00:57:44.599 --> 00:57:51.079 body would be compelling evidence, especially if there's idols for Isis or Osiris, 567 00:57:51.280 --> 00:57:58.199 or there's a jewelry or grave goods, that would be a no brainer for 568 00:57:58.320 --> 00:58:00.079 the world to stand up and go, oh my god, there's something going 569 00:58:00.119 --> 00:58:02.880 on here. Yeah, I'll have to dig it out. I have the 570 00:58:02.880 --> 00:58:06.519 book here on my computer and why I'm speaking to you, I'll dig out 571 00:58:06.519 --> 00:58:10.920 the reference. But essentially, it was young the body of a young prince 572 00:58:12.199 --> 00:58:15.880 found and it had Egyptian I'm not quite sure how it's pronounced, but it's 573 00:58:15.960 --> 00:58:20.559 I think it's fiance speeds. It's a particular type of bead they use, 574 00:58:21.239 --> 00:58:24.880 and it was found on it and it was very, very and it just 575 00:58:24.920 --> 00:58:30.440 blew people's mind. When was it discovered. I think it's this is not 576 00:58:30.519 --> 00:58:35.159 recent. This is probably thirty forty years ago something like that. Oh, 577 00:58:35.280 --> 00:58:40.679 when we're speaking, I'm digging it. Yeah. Talk a little more about 578 00:58:40.679 --> 00:58:47.000 the genetic evidence, the red hair gene that is so prominent in Ireland, 579 00:58:47.679 --> 00:58:54.480 and again we see evidence of Pharaohs. We see a lot of Egyptians in 580 00:58:54.639 --> 00:59:00.920 their mamma fied state with red hair. And it's not just Egypt, it's 581 00:59:01.039 --> 00:59:08.880 all around the world. It's fascinating, and your writing basically says that the 582 00:59:08.920 --> 00:59:15.599 core evidence, the epicenter, the starting point for this is Ireland. So 583 00:59:15.639 --> 00:59:21.519 talk a little bit about how this would migrate out from Ireland into the other 584 00:59:21.559 --> 00:59:30.159 parts of the world. Okay, So the rarest genetic combination on Earth is 585 00:59:30.199 --> 00:59:34.679 red hair and blue eyes. It is less than one percent. It's extremely 586 00:59:34.800 --> 00:59:39.400 rare. Globally, the highest concentration of it is found in, if you 587 00:59:39.519 --> 00:59:44.679 like, the ancient Gaelic heartlands, Ireland and Scotland. That's the highest concentration 588 00:59:44.840 --> 00:59:50.159 anywhere in the world. In order for someone to have either red hair or 589 00:59:50.199 --> 00:59:53.679 blue eyes, or the combination of it, those genes have to be passed 590 00:59:53.800 --> 00:59:59.000 from both sides of their genetics, So in other words, your your parents' 591 00:59:59.079 --> 01:00:06.760 ancestry must both have them. And it's also fairmly well established in genetics that 592 01:00:07.480 --> 01:00:14.920 blue eyes are a relatively recent thing in human evolution. And I'm talking maybe 593 01:00:15.440 --> 01:00:21.239 earliest three four thousand years ago latest, maybe maybe ten thousand, something like 594 01:00:21.280 --> 01:00:27.039 that. They're relatively recent. And it's also pretty well established that there was 595 01:00:27.079 --> 01:00:30.920 one ancestor with blue eyes. There had to be one. Now, when 596 01:00:30.920 --> 01:00:36.519 we look around the world, what do we find you mentioned Egypt. We 597 01:00:36.639 --> 01:00:40.760 take Rameses very obviously red hair, and they've done a whole bunch of tests 598 01:00:40.760 --> 01:00:45.760 and it's been proven beyond all shadow of doubt he had red hair. Okay, 599 01:00:46.840 --> 01:00:54.400 red hair is an adaptation to less sunlight. Again, this is well 600 01:00:54.519 --> 01:01:07.639 established in genetics that red hair it comes from producing more the sun vitam vitamin 601 01:01:07.679 --> 01:01:16.679 bee, so basically those it's a genetic adaptation that comes to capture more vinamin 602 01:01:16.760 --> 01:01:22.079 B from the sun. And it's found in humans but also found in animals. 603 01:01:22.119 --> 01:01:25.679 Actually, here's an interesting tidbit. There's a little island at the north 604 01:01:25.679 --> 01:01:30.800 of Ireland and it's called Rattlin Island, and on this island, they have 605 01:01:30.880 --> 01:01:36.800 a unique hair which only occurs there. It evolved there. It doesn't happen 606 01:01:36.840 --> 01:01:39.840 anywhere else in the world. And hey, presto, red hair, blue 607 01:01:39.840 --> 01:01:45.920 eyes an adaptation to sunlight. It doesn't occur anywhere else on Earth. So 608 01:01:46.559 --> 01:01:52.119 if we look back at some of the more if you like controversial findings in 609 01:01:52.400 --> 01:02:00.360 archaeology, chromagnum Man is one that's been very much ignored or shelled. Chro 610 01:02:00.519 --> 01:02:05.400 magnant Man. Their genetics if you look at their DNA, the highest concentration 611 01:02:05.519 --> 01:02:10.679 of it is in Ireland today. And magnets were fair so reddish or fair 612 01:02:10.719 --> 01:02:14.679 hair, and quite a lot of them from what we can tell, had 613 01:02:14.719 --> 01:02:17.519 blue eyes and they're actually quite tall. There were usually six footers of the 614 01:02:17.559 --> 01:02:23.199 skeletons found, so this island has a lot of graves with these chromagnants. 615 01:02:23.719 --> 01:02:29.280 They're no you know, no chromagnants have been found. Chro Magnan was a 616 01:02:29.360 --> 01:02:35.559 cave in France, I think, yeah, Frances And they've also the last 617 01:02:37.599 --> 01:02:43.599 direct living ancestors of them were apparently on the Canary Islands. There are a 618 01:02:43.639 --> 01:02:47.800 bunch of guys called the Guanchos, and again they were just as I said, 619 01:02:49.519 --> 01:02:52.679 reddish or blonde hair, blue eyes. But if you look at their 620 01:02:52.800 --> 01:03:00.159 DNA, the highest concentration of their the hot blue group is that is the 621 01:03:00.440 --> 01:03:05.800 is the specific marker in the DNA and the highest concentration of that on Earth 622 01:03:06.400 --> 01:03:12.039 today is found in Ireland. So especially that DNA has been there for a 623 01:03:12.039 --> 01:03:16.960 long time. Another interesting tidbit is that there's a thing called the giant gene. 624 01:03:17.480 --> 01:03:23.320 Now, the most famous example of that was American Wadlow. He was 625 01:03:24.079 --> 01:03:30.039 extremely tall American, I think he was almost eight nine foot or something. 626 01:03:30.679 --> 01:03:32.239 You can look him up, tallest man who ever lived, but he had 627 01:03:32.280 --> 01:03:39.519 a thing called the giant gene. It causes giantism, and people with this 628 01:03:39.599 --> 01:03:49.719 gene grew to extremely extremely tall. It's very common for seven foot, sometimes 629 01:03:49.760 --> 01:03:52.079 eight foot. In history. There's many records actually of eight eight and a 630 01:03:52.119 --> 01:03:55.840 half foot people and when they checked their bones and that they had this gene. 631 01:03:55.880 --> 01:04:00.760 Again, the highest concentration of that gene anywhere on Earth is found in 632 01:04:00.840 --> 01:04:05.519 midd Ulster in Ireland, where a staggering one in one hundred and fifty people 633 01:04:05.599 --> 01:04:11.480 have it. So there's obviously you see what are these genes? There are 634 01:04:11.519 --> 01:04:16.639 echoes of our past. There genetic memories, and I think if we look 635 01:04:16.760 --> 01:04:26.079 at evolution and we're trying to figure a piece that puzzle together, well, 636 01:04:27.320 --> 01:04:30.679 it's becoming more and more clear that our species is a hybrid. We've got 637 01:04:31.880 --> 01:04:39.159 DNA from so called different ancient species. I say so called because it would 638 01:04:39.159 --> 01:04:43.760 seem to me that if you're a scientist that needs research money, the quickest 639 01:04:43.760 --> 01:04:46.519 way to get it is to discover an ancient form of human. I think 640 01:04:46.559 --> 01:04:49.599 we're going to find and if these are different species, how do they interbreed? 641 01:04:50.639 --> 01:04:56.039 The definition of the species is to be able to reproduce. We know 642 01:04:56.159 --> 01:05:02.239 for absolute certainty that Neanderthals and modern Homo sapiens into bread. Well, how 643 01:05:02.280 --> 01:05:08.159 do we weren't the same species because the definition of the species is it has 644 01:05:08.199 --> 01:05:11.639 to be able to reproduce. So there are a few questions there that I 645 01:05:11.679 --> 01:05:17.760 wouldn't be I would be a little bit. I think the current and I 646 01:05:17.760 --> 01:05:27.559 think the current version of you know, the ander Fulls and modern homer Sapiens 647 01:05:27.679 --> 01:05:31.039 were. I think they were a lot closer genetically than we realize, and 648 01:05:31.199 --> 01:05:35.880 may well have been so close. It may it may not make much difference. 649 01:05:35.960 --> 01:05:42.639 In fact, if you took an elderly woman from China and she was 650 01:05:42.719 --> 01:05:45.280 five foot tall, and you took her skeleton, and you compared that to 651 01:05:46.119 --> 01:05:51.920 a seven foot rugby player from South Africa, and you looked at their bones, 652 01:05:51.960 --> 01:05:56.239 a couple one hundred thousand years later, it may hear that they're different 653 01:05:56.239 --> 01:06:02.440 species, but actually in reality they're are pretty similar. So I think that 654 01:06:02.960 --> 01:06:09.679 when we trace back human evolution and we trace back the origin of civilization, 655 01:06:10.000 --> 01:06:14.719 what we find all around the world is instances of red hair and blue eyes 656 01:06:15.159 --> 01:06:18.639 in some pretty unusual places. Talk a little bit about the giants, because 657 01:06:18.639 --> 01:06:26.280 you mentioned this in the book. You actually have some grave sites with some 658 01:06:26.639 --> 01:06:31.719 very tall people. Are you suggesting that there was a branch of these early 659 01:06:32.440 --> 01:06:38.800 Atlentinians who were giants? Well, how do you define a giant? If 660 01:06:38.800 --> 01:06:44.079 you met a guy that was seven foot six inches tall and you were saying 661 01:06:44.119 --> 01:06:46.320 five foot six, you're going to call them a giant. That's true. 662 01:06:46.679 --> 01:06:54.119 Yeah, I met recently a rugby player, a guy plays rugby for Ireland 663 01:06:54.199 --> 01:07:00.320 and he's or he used to, he's foot ten almost seven fields. Yeah, 664 01:07:00.599 --> 01:07:03.760 yeah, almost seven famous, guy's gigantic. Now, if you were 665 01:07:04.039 --> 01:07:10.159 say, let's just say some parts of the world, take Japan and places 666 01:07:10.280 --> 01:07:15.719 that where people aren't quite as tall as other places, someone who's maybe of 667 01:07:15.760 --> 01:07:18.559 a smaller stature or meets someone that's seven foot tall, of course they're going 668 01:07:18.599 --> 01:07:23.599 to consider them a giant. So I do think that, in fact, 669 01:07:23.599 --> 01:07:27.960 there's no thinking about it, there's any amount of proof of if I take 670 01:07:28.000 --> 01:07:30.119 on, for example, I'm just looking at the list here of here's a 671 01:07:30.199 --> 01:07:35.639 guy seven foot six inches tall, here's another guy seven foot seven and all 672 01:07:35.679 --> 01:07:40.400 of their bones are a public record. Here's a pair of guys seven foot 673 01:07:40.400 --> 01:07:45.480 two inches tall. Another guy seven foot six inches, seven foot Okay, 674 01:07:45.599 --> 01:07:49.199 there's a whole list of people who are over seven foot. Well, that's 675 01:07:49.280 --> 01:07:56.000 that giant gene. I spoke a bit earlier on, and I have absolutely 676 01:07:56.039 --> 01:08:01.519 no doubt that at one time in history there was a population of people who 677 01:08:01.599 --> 01:08:06.400 were pretty tall, and there were also a population of people who were pretty 678 01:08:06.440 --> 01:08:10.679 small, and there was everything in between. And the reason I can say 679 01:08:10.679 --> 01:08:14.599 that with confidence is, hey, that's the world today. There are people 680 01:08:14.840 --> 01:08:18.880 in South Africa, particularly today. I mentioned South Africa. If you look 681 01:08:18.880 --> 01:08:23.359 at the South African rugby team, there the biggest specimens of men I've ever 682 01:08:23.399 --> 01:08:27.560 seen, and it's quite common for them to have players six foot six seven, 683 01:08:27.640 --> 01:08:30.520 eight nine ten. Yeah, like a basketball team. Like a basketball 684 01:08:30.560 --> 01:08:33.800 team exactly. So yeah, of course, like in the same way as 685 01:08:33.800 --> 01:08:39.359 you have some families that are are very tall and some families that are quite 686 01:08:39.359 --> 01:08:44.359 short. Well, in olden times, the family, the extended family was 687 01:08:44.399 --> 01:08:48.199 a plan or a tribe, and of course people would get the name of 688 01:08:48.920 --> 01:08:53.960 a giant if they happened to be a foot or two taller than someone else. 689 01:08:54.359 --> 01:08:59.880 I don't subscribe to the notion that there were you know, one hundred 690 01:09:00.239 --> 01:09:05.000 giants and stuff. That's fantasy stuff. But look at what the genetic evidence 691 01:09:05.039 --> 01:09:09.720 today shows. We have people on Earth, as you mentioned, basketball players 692 01:09:09.760 --> 01:09:14.039 and things like that that are let's just say, seven foot tall. Well, 693 01:09:14.560 --> 01:09:19.159 those genetics came from somewhere. And similarly, we have a lot of 694 01:09:19.560 --> 01:09:24.800 you know, little people on Earth today, and again those genetics had to 695 01:09:24.840 --> 01:09:31.359 come from somewhere exactly. The book's called Atlantis Ireland. My guest is Anthony 696 01:09:31.439 --> 01:09:36.119 Woods. And as we come down to our time, talk a little bit 697 01:09:36.159 --> 01:09:44.680 about the importance of stone circles. You kind of intimate that this is a 698 01:09:44.800 --> 01:09:54.279 technology, this astronomical stone circle that almost originates in Ireland. Give us talk 699 01:09:54.319 --> 01:09:57.920 about and I don't know if I'm gonna say it correctly, it's is it 700 01:09:58.079 --> 01:10:04.279 maybe a player? It's about five hundred miles south of Cairo. Talk about 701 01:10:04.319 --> 01:10:10.199 that because I've never heard of that circle, and I've seen some graphs, 702 01:10:10.239 --> 01:10:14.359 and you point out graphs and you show some pictures. Is this kind of 703 01:10:14.399 --> 01:10:19.560 like the starting point for like a stonehenge? And I mean we have now 704 01:10:19.720 --> 01:10:30.399 seen circles in the Amazonian jungle, we see them in South America and obviously 705 01:10:30.479 --> 01:10:36.600 throughout Europe. So talk a little bit about these stone circles and their importance. 706 01:10:39.079 --> 01:10:43.560 Yeah, so you're correct. We see stone circles all over the world. 707 01:10:43.920 --> 01:10:47.199 There are even records of stone circles in Australia, although they have been 708 01:10:47.239 --> 01:10:50.960 destroyed unfortunately, but there are records of them. But yeah, we've got 709 01:10:50.960 --> 01:11:00.479 stone circles all across Ireland, plenty places in Europe, and they the play 710 01:11:00.520 --> 01:11:09.319 of stone circles in Egypt are very interesting as an ancient civilization at their peak 711 01:11:09.319 --> 01:11:12.479 were the most advanced people on Earth, no question about, absolutely, no 712 01:11:12.560 --> 01:11:17.479 question, and it's very when you study Egyptology, it's very easy to get 713 01:11:19.520 --> 01:11:25.319 be sotted by the pyramids and the sphinx due to their magnificence. But what 714 01:11:25.399 --> 01:11:29.399 a lot of people don't realize is long before there was pyramids and sphinx, 715 01:11:29.520 --> 01:11:33.640 there was mounds and stone circles in Egypt, long long before it. Now. 716 01:11:33.720 --> 01:11:38.960 The Play is a good example of stone circles in Egypt, which if 717 01:11:39.000 --> 01:11:43.199 you read up on it, it's described as being built by a forgotten people. 718 01:11:45.000 --> 01:11:48.800 So if we have stone circles in Egypt, if we have stone circles 719 01:11:48.920 --> 01:11:56.800 in France and Spain and Britain and Ireland and the Americas. There's obviously a 720 01:11:56.840 --> 01:12:00.319 diffusion there, there's obviously a commonality that's come from somewhere, that's coming from 721 01:12:00.319 --> 01:12:09.800 the source. What I find most intriguing of all is that Irish style magaliths 722 01:12:09.840 --> 01:12:14.119 and their their Irish style, because they accor the oldest ones of core in 723 01:12:14.119 --> 01:12:16.800 Ireland, and there's most of them in Ireland have been found on the Iszori's 724 01:12:16.920 --> 01:12:24.640 Islands in the middle of the Atlantic. Now there is absolutely no logical way 725 01:12:24.680 --> 01:12:29.880 to explain that other than what I'm saying, that the ancient people had boats 726 01:12:30.000 --> 01:12:35.079 and they were capable of seafaring a lot further than we ever dreamed possible. 727 01:12:36.720 --> 01:12:45.680 The Iszoa's Islands. Magalots are proving a tad controversial and the academic community has 728 01:12:45.760 --> 01:12:50.960 recently some have come out and said, oh no, they were just built 729 01:12:50.960 --> 01:12:55.199 a couple of hundred years ago, which is obviously gibberishy. You can tell 730 01:12:55.279 --> 01:13:00.199 by looking at them the ancient and most of them just ignore it. But 731 01:13:00.279 --> 01:13:06.560 if you're finding magali's identical in the Azoras Ireland Islands, as you find in 732 01:13:06.560 --> 01:13:11.800 Ireland and you find in Britain, that's a common people that built them. 733 01:13:12.119 --> 01:13:16.640 If you're finding stone circles in Egypt and Ireland and South America. There's a 734 01:13:16.720 --> 01:13:23.319 commonality there. Stone circles and magaliths have been found in virtually every country on 735 01:13:23.359 --> 01:13:30.359 Earth, which proves that that every country on Earth has a spectacular instance civilization 736 01:13:30.600 --> 01:13:36.279 and history that has been completely forgotten about. Stone circles have been found submerged 737 01:13:36.359 --> 01:13:45.399 in Israel. Yeah. Now, for all the people who like people who 738 01:13:45.479 --> 01:13:48.560 study the Bible and things like that, the world, the word gilgal in 739 01:13:48.640 --> 01:13:57.159 the Bible means a circle of standing stones. Yeah, and we're standing stones 740 01:13:57.399 --> 01:14:00.560 in Israel. We've standing stones in Jordan and in the so called Holy Land. 741 01:14:00.920 --> 01:14:06.119 Why is this not taught? Why is this not discovered? It would 742 01:14:06.159 --> 01:14:15.840 appear to me that there is a belief that ancient man was primitive, ignorant, 743 01:14:16.560 --> 01:14:23.680 and stupid. These are the same people that discovered astronomy, architecture, 744 01:14:24.159 --> 01:14:30.800 agriculture, language, and a whole bunch of stuff. I think we need 745 01:14:30.840 --> 01:14:33.840 to have a bit more humility when it comes to looking at at our ancient 746 01:14:33.880 --> 01:14:42.960 forefathers. And I spoke to I'll not mention the university fair, but I 747 01:14:42.960 --> 01:14:48.119 spoke to a very eminent professor of history recently, and we were speaking about 748 01:14:48.119 --> 01:14:53.199 this topic, and I showed him the evidence for the azores. In fairness, 749 01:14:53.239 --> 01:14:57.239 he says, yeah, they're the very obviously megalits, but he couldn't 750 01:14:57.279 --> 01:15:01.479 just quite get his head around how people were able to sail that distance. 751 01:15:01.800 --> 01:15:06.439 He's still fighting and he's still struggling with it. But that's a paradigm shift 752 01:15:06.439 --> 01:15:15.880 that's going to come. We're discovered that man has been sailing for minimum five 753 01:15:15.960 --> 01:15:20.000 hundred thousand years. I have zero evidence that he hasn't been. People haven't 754 01:15:20.000 --> 01:15:24.199 been sailing for a million or two. I don't know. Yeah, that's 755 01:15:24.279 --> 01:15:28.720 mind blowing numbers. I mean, I'm of the belief that we've had different 756 01:15:28.760 --> 01:15:32.520 epochs, different periods where there were a civilization and then they were destroyed, 757 01:15:32.520 --> 01:15:38.479 and then it resurfaced again and developed over thousands of years. What is your 758 01:15:38.560 --> 01:15:45.000 belief of the stone circles? Lately? The feeling is that they were technology 759 01:15:45.920 --> 01:15:50.840 and that they were somewhat like communication devices. When we look at Stonehenge, 760 01:15:51.600 --> 01:16:00.880 there's a very sensitive acoustics involved that allows you to speak and the voice carries 761 01:16:00.039 --> 01:16:05.520 very long distances. What are your feelings about a technology with stone circles that 762 01:16:05.680 --> 01:16:12.680 was perhaps handed down and transferred around the world. Yeah, the stone circles 763 01:16:12.760 --> 01:16:15.000 had a couple of purposes. From what we can tell, one of them 764 01:16:15.079 --> 01:16:17.840 was astronomy. It was easy to use them for alignments and to measure the 765 01:16:17.840 --> 01:16:26.399 movement of stars and things. But there does appear to be unusual magnetic properties. 766 01:16:27.319 --> 01:16:32.920 There's there's a feelings study called power magnet Power magnetic. Yeah, power 767 01:16:33.000 --> 01:16:38.840 magnetic, and especially the magnetism of stones. And what do you think magnetism? 768 01:16:38.880 --> 01:16:42.920 We think metal because it's a it's a wonderful conduct but actually stones have 769 01:16:43.000 --> 01:16:46.680 a type of magnetism. If we look at the ancient myths of Stonehenge, 770 01:16:46.720 --> 01:16:50.680 which is the world's most famous stone circle, some of them speak of it 771 01:16:50.800 --> 01:16:56.560 being a place of healing. Yeah, and it also speaks of that the 772 01:16:56.560 --> 01:17:00.199 builders of Stonehenge took the stones from Ireland. I'm not sure if you knew 773 01:17:00.199 --> 01:17:06.319 that. So if the most famous stone circle in the world, if the 774 01:17:06.600 --> 01:17:12.880 very myth that we've been handed down from me from previous generations as it came 775 01:17:12.880 --> 01:17:16.359 from Ireland, I'm not quite sure that's true. I think maybe the builders 776 01:17:16.359 --> 01:17:20.520 did. I think it's pretty conclusive now the stones came from about forty or 777 01:17:20.520 --> 01:17:26.039 fifty miles away and some of them came from Pembrokeshire. But I think the 778 01:17:26.159 --> 01:17:30.079 culture. In fact, if you look at a megalithic map of Europe, 779 01:17:30.880 --> 01:17:33.880 Ireland is completely covered in magaliths, and it's the west coast of Britain, 780 01:17:33.920 --> 01:17:39.119 but not the east that is the highest concentration. Same at the west coast 781 01:17:39.119 --> 01:17:42.760 of France and Spain. And to me it's quite obvious the people came from 782 01:17:42.760 --> 01:17:48.039 the west by boat. They for the case, the magalithic culture originated in 783 01:17:49.000 --> 01:17:57.079 the Steps or in those areas, which is what we're taught today. Why 784 01:17:57.119 --> 01:18:00.079 is it not all over France, Spain and Britain. Why is it along 785 01:18:00.119 --> 01:18:04.159 the seaboard, because obviously the travel by saying and by the way. This 786 01:18:04.359 --> 01:18:10.119 nonsense of one way traffic is absolutely gibberish. This nonsense of you know, 787 01:18:10.239 --> 01:18:15.800 all civilization came from the Steps area and made its way across Europe is ridiculous. 788 01:18:15.920 --> 01:18:20.079 Those two way traffic. Man is so so much older than we realize. 789 01:18:20.800 --> 01:18:26.520 You mentioned cycles like you have to if you read some of the some 790 01:18:26.560 --> 01:18:30.840 of the Sanskrit writings, they're talking in terms of hundreds and in some cases 791 01:18:30.960 --> 01:18:36.239 millions of years back. Yeah, now we're dealer in there with astronomical cycles. 792 01:18:36.640 --> 01:18:41.600 But when it comes to man, here's the facts. And someone if 793 01:18:41.600 --> 01:18:47.359 an alien civilization landing on Earth today, to do, you know, an 794 01:18:47.399 --> 01:18:54.439 investigation into the origin of humanity, they would look at Okay, wor's the 795 01:18:54.479 --> 01:18:57.880 oldest evidence we have nine point seven million years ago in Germany? Okay? 796 01:18:57.920 --> 01:19:01.520 Great? What's the oldest evidence we have of sailing four hundred and fifty thousand 797 01:19:01.560 --> 01:19:05.680 years ago in Greece? Great? What else fifty thousand years ago in Australia? 798 01:19:05.800 --> 01:19:10.560 Great? A three hundred thousand year old hunting weapon in Germany? Great? 799 01:19:11.359 --> 01:19:15.600 And these humans think that civilization arose five or six thousand year Are you 800 01:19:15.720 --> 01:19:24.239 kidding me? It's bonkers? So yeah, look at I think that people 801 01:19:24.399 --> 01:19:31.199 were watching your channel are interested in an alternative way to think. They're interested 802 01:19:31.479 --> 01:19:35.880 in stretching their mind, an open mind, not so open that your brain 803 01:19:35.960 --> 01:19:42.279 falls out, but an open mind where you're the mainstream. You take the 804 01:19:42.319 --> 01:19:45.880 Maverick ideas, you synthesize them together, and you come up with some new 805 01:19:45.880 --> 01:19:49.960 thinking. The last thing the world needs is is mindless morons that just believe 806 01:19:50.039 --> 01:19:53.960 everything. To say. I don't want anyone to believe a word I say 807 01:19:54.039 --> 01:19:57.640 or a word I read. If you do that, I failed in my 808 01:19:59.000 --> 01:20:03.399 mission. My mission is to enlighten and to teach people. The only reason 809 01:20:03.439 --> 01:20:08.039 I wrote that I'm outside of this. I'm a pretty serious business person. 810 01:20:08.079 --> 01:20:11.399 I taught business all over the world. I taught business to bank, a 811 01:20:11.439 --> 01:20:14.279 whole bunch of stuff like that, And the last thing I need is to 812 01:20:14.319 --> 01:20:18.279 be labeled as a Atlantis crack pot. But when I looked at it on 813 01:20:18.439 --> 01:20:23.560 the balance of probability, I says, you know something, there is a 814 01:20:23.600 --> 01:20:28.199 big, big piece of history missing. I think I've contributed a small little 815 01:20:28.199 --> 01:20:31.079 piece of that, and I think other people will start joining dots and put 816 01:20:31.119 --> 01:20:35.279 more and more together, and maybe by the time my kids are my age, 817 01:20:36.079 --> 01:20:41.279 man will be one hundred thousand years old, civilization will be one hundred 818 01:20:41.319 --> 01:20:45.039 thousand years old, and then it'll push back another hundred and another one hundred, 819 01:20:45.039 --> 01:20:46.960 and before we know it, it'll be a million. And before we 820 01:20:47.039 --> 01:20:55.359 know we might actually find that people have been sailing. I'm certain of half 821 01:20:55.399 --> 01:20:58.960 a million years like that's been pretty much proven now that that's not why you 822 01:20:59.039 --> 01:21:02.760 might find that little shit. Can I think any You mentioned this at the 823 01:21:02.840 --> 01:21:11.000 very beginning of the program, that if we could start using underwater archaeology. 824 01:21:11.000 --> 01:21:14.840 It's still in its infancy. It's very difficult to go deep three hundred feet 825 01:21:14.880 --> 01:21:17.880 or two hundred feet or more and and start excavating. But I think that's 826 01:21:17.920 --> 01:21:23.560 going to be the proof of the pudding when we start going and seeing huge 827 01:21:23.840 --> 01:21:28.640 cities that are tens of thousands of years old that are under the ocean, 828 01:21:28.640 --> 01:21:31.239 that that'll really help. So, uh, hey, Anthony, this has 829 01:21:31.279 --> 01:21:36.600 been fun. Uh and I really appreciate you coming on today. How can 830 01:21:36.640 --> 01:21:41.479 people learn more about you? Give us your website and you're if you have 831 01:21:41.479 --> 01:21:45.479 a blog, and also really important your social media pages. Yeah. The 832 01:21:45.479 --> 01:21:48.600 best if people are interest in what we do, and the best place to 833 01:21:48.640 --> 01:21:54.079 get us is a Keystone dot i E so k E y S t O 834 01:21:54.319 --> 01:21:58.600 n E dot I E. That's our website and anyone who reaches that is 835 01:21:58.640 --> 01:22:00.960 the place to get us. We all have a Facebook page. If you 836 01:22:01.039 --> 01:22:06.079 just look for Keystone School of Advanced Studies, you'll find that, and yeah, 837 01:22:06.319 --> 01:22:09.439 you want to reach out, that's where it gets you know. Yeah, 838 01:22:09.439 --> 01:22:14.079 I'm just curious because you're you sound like somebody who's constantly looking at articles 839 01:22:14.159 --> 01:22:18.800 and collecting data. Do you have like an Instagram page where you're like posting 840 01:22:18.960 --> 01:22:28.479 images and stuff. I'm pretty old school. I keep yeah as it is 841 01:22:28.520 --> 01:22:30.560 at the moment. I have a lot of demands of my time, and 842 01:22:30.720 --> 01:22:33.960 the way I keep it is anyone who reaches out, we have secretaries in 843 01:22:34.000 --> 01:22:38.000 the business. Someone wants to get to me, it comes through my secretaries 844 01:22:38.000 --> 01:22:41.720 and that and we deal with that. But those two places I mentioned our 845 01:22:41.760 --> 01:22:45.800 website and a Facebook page or two places where we can be reached as well. 846 01:22:45.920 --> 01:22:48.800 We also actually have some interesting videos on YouTube if you look, oh 847 01:22:49.560 --> 01:22:55.199 yeah, if your viewers are interested again, if you just search for Keystone 848 01:22:55.239 --> 01:22:58.720 School of Advanced Studies, some pretty wild and wonderful things there. That's a 849 01:22:58.720 --> 01:23:02.079 whole bunch of stuff in Atlanta, Ireland. There's some stuff on mathematics. 850 01:23:02.079 --> 01:23:05.840 There's some stuff on black holes. There's a little bit of a hodgepodge of 851 01:23:06.279 --> 01:23:14.279 Maverick theories in there. We're very much interested in research and Maverick theories that 852 01:23:14.439 --> 01:23:18.279 torn out to be pretty. That's that's what we're interested in, and we've 853 01:23:18.279 --> 01:23:23.399 got the academic freedom to do it. So I love that idea. I'm 854 01:23:23.439 --> 01:23:26.880 the same way. It's like since I was a very young person, I 855 01:23:26.920 --> 01:23:30.159 was like, what I'm being taught in school doesn't feel right. It just 856 01:23:30.199 --> 01:23:36.560 doesn't. It's like it's like a history that's missing huge, huge parts and 857 01:23:36.680 --> 01:23:45.439 data and information and relevance, and you know, and it's slowly changing. 858 01:23:45.239 --> 01:23:50.920 I've interviewed indigenous archaeologists here in the United States who are now placing some of 859 01:23:50.960 --> 01:23:57.479 the most some of the newest ideas behind settlements in the United States over one 860 01:23:57.520 --> 01:24:00.319 hundred thousand years in the past. Yep. One hundred thousand years, not 861 01:24:00.439 --> 01:24:06.560 sixteen thousand, one hundred thousand. And we're not talking caveman. We're talking 862 01:24:06.800 --> 01:24:13.439 Homo sapien, sapient. The modern human remains. So hey, Anthony, 863 01:24:14.119 --> 01:24:17.159 fantastic, thank you for your time. I want to mention to our listeners 864 01:24:17.159 --> 01:24:25.560 that Atlantis Ireland is available on Amazon. It was published in twenty and twenty 865 01:24:25.600 --> 01:24:30.880 one, but it's still available. Very very good research in the book, 866 01:24:31.479 --> 01:24:36.039 and for the most part, most of your reviews have been very positive. 867 01:24:36.079 --> 01:24:41.000 So I think most people are going never thought about that. He's got some 868 01:24:41.000 --> 01:24:45.239 great ideas and you just don't talk about him. You actually go to these 869 01:24:45.279 --> 01:24:50.920 places and you reference him. So good good work, you see, So 870 01:24:51.000 --> 01:24:58.600 thanks man, appreciate it and continued success. I appreciate it, and thank 871 01:24:58.640 --> 01:25:00.640 you so much for having me on. Thank you so much for your your 872 01:25:00.720 --> 01:25:04.399 viewers, for those of you who watched this, and I wish you all 873 01:25:04.439 --> 01:25:13.039 well. I was listening to Anthony talk about Ireland. I was thinking of 874 01:25:13.199 --> 01:25:18.960 the the scan of the Great Pyramid at Giza, the Cufu Pyramid, and 875 01:25:19.159 --> 01:25:28.720 the recent scan done by Malanga and Philippe and what they turned up. The 876 01:25:28.800 --> 01:25:33.439 damn thing's a machine. Now we haven't heard any any references, any comments 877 01:25:33.479 --> 01:25:40.399 from the Egyptological community because most likely they're dumbfounded. They don't want to talk 878 01:25:40.439 --> 01:25:45.439 about it. I have spoken to our own doctor Ed Barnhardt, and he 879 01:25:45.239 --> 01:25:49.800 believes there's a little bit of confusion with the mathematics and it's a little challenging 880 01:25:50.319 --> 01:25:56.279 because it's gobblly good, it's you know, so he's waiting for more data. 881 01:25:56.359 --> 01:26:00.279 But it looks like this thing is a machine. And you know, 882 01:26:00.319 --> 01:26:05.039 you got to wonder, this is an Egyptian, this is this is somebody 883 01:26:05.079 --> 01:26:10.960 else. But when we say it's somebody else, is Atlantinian? Is it 884 01:26:11.000 --> 01:26:16.239 a combination of Atlantinian and Egyptian? Is it et? You know, ancient 885 01:26:16.279 --> 01:26:21.439 Aliens loves to say that the Great Pyramids and is an et building, an 886 01:26:21.439 --> 01:26:26.640 et phenomenon. Let's not go there. It just muddles the whole thing. 887 01:26:27.279 --> 01:26:30.600 And as much as I like ancient Aliens, I just think that that's throwing 888 01:26:31.079 --> 01:26:36.640 too much at us. It's just not it's not a consideration. But you 889 01:26:36.680 --> 01:26:42.880 know, it's this. This at some point may come out as we begin 890 01:26:43.880 --> 01:26:49.760 digging further and new revelations come out, new artifacts are revealed. One thing 891 01:26:49.800 --> 01:26:58.359 that Mohammed imbrium R. Has mentioned is that it appears to him that most 892 01:26:58.760 --> 01:27:03.960 that i'm a growing number of statuary attributed to a number of different pharaohs, 893 01:27:04.000 --> 01:27:13.760 Seti, Ramses and others, has been repurposed. And when I say repurposed, 894 01:27:13.800 --> 01:27:19.119 it looks like they have been The krtouche of a pharaoh has been placed 895 01:27:19.159 --> 01:27:27.720 on sculptures because they think it's their likeness. And what it's really happening is 896 01:27:27.720 --> 01:27:34.199 that these sculptures go back to the earlier epoch, the true builders of ancient 897 01:27:34.239 --> 01:27:40.880 Egypt, the true founders and the geniuses that built the pyramids, to build 898 01:27:40.920 --> 01:27:45.399 these wonderful temples and so forth and so on. We're gonna hear from Chris 899 01:27:45.479 --> 01:27:47.319 down a little bit on that when we talked to him in January. But 900 01:27:48.279 --> 01:27:55.279 you know, the technology that Done believes is in place when you're carving these 901 01:27:55.479 --> 01:28:00.720 granite sculptures is not known to us, and was not known to the Dynastics 902 01:28:00.800 --> 01:28:05.920 or anybody in any of the Egyptian periods that the agyrtologists like to have us 903 01:28:05.960 --> 01:28:12.880 believe. And I see this, and I've talked about this. The Cufu 904 01:28:13.119 --> 01:28:19.600 sculpture of Pharaoh kufu At in the Cairo Museum is a work of genius, 905 01:28:20.119 --> 01:28:25.319 but it may not be touched by human hands. It may have been sculpted 906 01:28:25.359 --> 01:28:28.600 by a machine of some kind. And I wrote an article about this. 907 01:28:29.640 --> 01:28:34.800 You can see it on Ancient Origins magazine where there's a comparison done left and 908 01:28:34.880 --> 01:28:38.840 right side, and they're a mirror of they're a mirror of each other. 909 01:28:39.199 --> 01:28:45.840 In other words, they're identical left and right. And this is a huge 910 01:28:45.079 --> 01:28:49.359 issue for anyone looking at these sculptures and saying, oh, no, it's 911 01:28:49.439 --> 01:28:54.560 cut by hand, Well, no they're not. They're cut by some form 912 01:28:54.600 --> 01:28:59.000 of technology that we're not aware of, which would not be anybody or any 913 01:28:59.680 --> 01:29:06.520 sign in the Dynastic periods, thousands of years of early Middle and late Dynastic. 914 01:29:08.520 --> 01:29:12.800 So it's fascinating and this is what we're all about here on Earth. 915 01:29:12.800 --> 01:29:15.039 Agents to take a look at these things and talk about it and when we 916 01:29:15.119 --> 01:29:20.439 can, get somebody to comment, which makes it fun. So it was 917 01:29:20.439 --> 01:29:25.960 good to have Anthony Woods on the program. His book By the Way Atlantis 918 01:29:26.000 --> 01:29:32.199 Ireland is available on Amazon.
