    Jim Willis: Ancient God's and the Conspiracy of Silence

    enApril 22, 2017

    About this Episode

    Where do we come from?

    What are the origins of modern civilization? Do the world's pyramids, the Nazca Lines, Easter Island statues, and other enigmatic structures, archaeological wonders, and geographic anomalies contain evidence of ancient gods? 


    Sifting through the historical and archaeological evidence, Ancient Gods: Lost Histories, Hidden Truths, and the Conspiracy of Silence probes the myths, stories, history, and facts of ancient civilizations, lost technologies, past catastrophes, archetypal astronauts, and bygone religions to tease out the truth of our distant past and modern existence. It takes and in-depth look at the facts, fictions, and controversies of our ancestors, origins, who we are as a people—and who might have come before us. It tackles more than 60 nagging stories of ancient gods, ancestors, alien visitors, theories and explanations, including: 

    • Why did our ancestors crawl deep underground and paint on cave walls?

    • How did the megalithic temple site called Göbekli Tepe come to be built—11,600 years before the agricultural revolution?

    • How were massive stones, weighing tons, dragged miles to build Stonehenge?

    • What secrets does modern DNA analysis reveal mankind's heritage?

    • Are we to believe the Ancient Alien Theory?

    Having earned his master's degree in theology from Andover Newton Theological School, Jim Willis has been an ordained minister for over forty years. He has also taught college courses in comparative religion and cross-cultural studies. His books include Visible Ink Press' The Religion Book and Armageddon Now: The End of the World A to .

    Special Edition: Ivar Zapp, Atlantis is America, Navigators of the Ancient World
    Published almost 20 years ago, Atlantis in America is one of the best accounts and evidence for a great maritime civilization that appears to have been partially based in Costa Rica. The book presents a new theory that the great stone spheres of Costa Rica and sighting stones throughout the Pacific were used to teach sea routes and constellation paths to navigators of the ancient world. ATLANTIS IN AMERICA was the first book to state that the nearly-perfect spheres of Costa Rica and the great astronomical structures at Tikahuanaco (Alto Peru), Teotihuacan (Pyramids of the Sun and Moon in the Valley of Mexico), and Chichen Itza ( Kukulcan Temple, Observatory in the Yucatan), were all just pieces of a puzzle that ran through all of the tropical and sub-tropical Americas. Since these sites (and many more) shared many similarities, and since they all left navigational clues, Erikson and Zapp predicted that the Americas would one day be known as Atlantis and that the heart of this ancient navigational culture would be found by underwater archaeology at depths of several hundred feet in the waters off tropical America.

    Zapp is a retired professor of architecture from the University of Costa Rica.

    Irving Finkel: Cuneiforms, Ghosts and Speaking with the Dead

    Irving Finkel: Cuneiforms, Ghosts and Speaking with the Dead
    Dr Irving Finkel, curator at the British Museum, explores why the belief in ghosts is what makes us human.There are few things more in common across cultures than the belief in ghosts. Ghosts inhabit something of the very essence of what it is to be human. Whether we personally 'believe' or not, we are all aware of ghosts and the rich mythologies and rituals surrounding them. They have inspired, fascinated and frightened us for centuries - yet most of us are only familiar with the vengeful apparitions of Shakespeare, or the ghastly spectres haunting the pages of 19th-century Gothic literature. But their origins are much, much older....The First Ghosts: Most Ancient of Legacies takes us back to the very beginning. A world-renowned authority on cuneiform, the form of writing on clay tablets that dates back to 3400 BC, Irving Finkel has embarked upon an ancient ghost hunt, scouring these tablets to unlock the secrets of the Sumerians, Babylonians and Assyrians to breathe new life into the first ghost stories ever written. In The First Ghosts, he uncovers an extraordinarily rich seam of ancient spirit wisdom that has remained hidden for nearly 4,000 years, covering practical details of how to live with ghosts, how to get rid of them and bring them back and how to avoid becoming one, as well as exploring more philosophical questions: what are ghosts, why does the idea of them remain so powerful despite the lack of concrete evidence and what do they tell us about being human?

    Dr Irving Finkel is an author and the Assistant Keeper of Ancient Mesopotamian (i.e. Sumerian, Babylonian and Assyrian) script, languages and cultures Department: Middle East at the British Museum, headquartered in London's Bloomsbury. He is the curator in charge of cuneiform inscriptions on tablets of clay from ancient Mesopotamia, of which the Middle East Department has the largest collection - some 130,000 pieces - of any modern museum. This work involves reading and translating all sorts of inscriptions, sometimes working on ancient archives to identify manuscripts that belong together, or even join to one another.

    Bibhu Dev Misra: Yuga Shift, The Impending Planetary Transformation

    Bibhu Dev Misra: Yuga Shift, The Impending Planetary Transformation
    Almost every ancient culture believed that human civilization and consciousness has progressively declined since an erstwhile Golden Age or Satya Yuga till the current age of greed and lies, discord and strife, called the Iron Age or Kali Yuga. Unfortunately, during our long passage through the darkness of the Kali Yuga, the original formulation of the Yuga Cycle was lost.In this extensively researched book, Bibhu Dev Misra has delineated the common threads that run through the Yuga Cycle doctrines of multiple ancient cultures, taking the aid of scientific discoveries from various disciplines. His reconstruction of the original Yuga Cycle framework indicates that the end of the Kali Yuga is just around the corner - in 2025!Within a span of just 15 years, by the year 2040, the Kali Yuga civilization is likely to collapse due to a combination of global wars, environmental catastrophes and comet impacts. We are living in the end-times that the ancient prophecies had warned us about. The survivors of the impending cataclysms will inherit a renewed earth, bathed in the divine light of the Central Sun.There is compelling evidence from many sources that the Yuga Cycle is a valid scientific doctrine, and is perfectly aligned with the earth’s precession cycle. It explains the periodic collapse and re-emergence of civilizations across the world every 3000-odd years, and the progressive decline in our physical size and cranial volume over the past 11,700 years of the descending Yuga Cycle.Why does our consciousness fluctuate in a sinusoidal manner over the course of the Yuga Cycle? What are the triggers for the cataclysmic obliteration of civilization during the periods of transition between the Yuga? What is the significance of the end-time prophecies which tell of a Savior or Avatar returning at the end of the Kali Yuga? How can we navigate through the upheavals and chaos of the Yuga-ending period?These are some of the key questions addressed in this book. This riveting and thought-provoking work contains one of the most important messages of our time.

    Bibhu Dev Misra has been actively researching and writing on ancient civilizations and ancient mysteries for more than a decade. He is a regular contributor to many international magazines and websites such as New Dawn, Nexus, Mysterious Universe, GrahamHancock Forum, Science to Sage etc., and has appeared on podcasts and online conferences on Earth Ancients, Portal to Ascension, OSOM, Watcher’s Talk and more.Bibhu lives in Kolkata, India, with his family. When he is not researching, writing, or traveling to ancient sites, Bibhu plays cricket with his son, strikes up a tune on his keyboard, reads books on ancient mysteries and esoteric subjects, goes for long walks and practices yoga.By profession, he is an Engineer from IIT Kharagpur and a MBA from IIM Calcutta, and worked as an Information Technology Consultant for nearly two decades, providing technology solutions to various global organizations, including the World Bank and the United Nations. A few years back, he gave up his full-time job as a Technology Consultant in order to devote more time to his research and writing interests.This is Bibhu’s debut book, based on one of his earliest articles. You can find out more about him and his research interests from his website "Ancient Inquiries".

    Jose Maria Barrera; Dendera, Temple of Time

    Jose Maria Barrera; Dendera, Temple of Time
    A full-color exploration of the encoded ceiling at the Temple of Dendera

    • Draws on more than 5,000 high-resolution photographs taken by the author to reconstruct the complete ceiling of the portico of the Temple of Hathor at Dendera

    • Reveals in detail how each panel represents celestial cycles of time from the Precession of the Equinoxes to the annual cycles of life found along the Nile

    • Explains each panel’s astronomical significance from the ancient Egyptian perspective as well as examining the myths, gods, and goddesses depicted

    Egypt is famous for its pyramids, the Sphinx, the temples at Luxor, and the Valley of the Kings, but 40 miles north of Luxor lies the best-preserved temple complex in all of Egypt: The Temple of Dendera, known for the famous “Zodiac of Dendera” now housed in the Louvre Museum. Within the portico leading into the Hathor temple at Dendera is a little-known outstanding achievement of humanity: an extensive colored bas-relief—larger than the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel—meticulously encoded with the sophisticated astronomical knowledge of ancient Egypt.

    Drawing on more than 5,000 high-resolution photographs he has taken at the Temple of Dendera, photographer and computer scientist José María Barrera presents a complete full-color photographic reconstruction of the ceiling of the pronaos at Dendera and reveals in detail how each panel represents celestial cycles of time from the Precession of the Equinoxes to the annual cycles of life found along the Nile. He explains the meaning of the layout of the ceiling as it relates to the present, the past, eternity, the hours of the day, the phases of the moon, the constellations used in ancient Egyptian astronomy, and the Great Solar Year. The author provides detailed analysis of each panel, including close-up photos, and explains each panel’s astronomical and spiritual significance from the ancient Egyptian perspective as well as examining the myths, gods, and goddesses depicted. He also includes an appendix exploring the meaning and symbology of ancient Egyptian iconography.

    José María Barrera is a software engineer and application architect, specializing in data representation and languages, who has been fascinated by alchemy and Egyptian culture for more than 20 years. An avid photographer, his work has been exhibited in galleries in Chicago and New York City and sold at Sotheby’s Auctions. Born in Colombia, he holds a master’s degree in computer science. He lives in New York City.

Inspired by the ancient Buddhist path to enlightenment yet firmly grounded in modern science, How to Train a Happy Mind is the first mainstream book to show how you can achieve happiness using analytical meditation.

    Scott Snibbe is a twenty-five-year student of Tibetan Buddhism whose teachers include Geshe Ngawang Dakpa, Choden Rinpoche, Ven. Rene Feusi, Ven. Sangye Khadro, Lama Zopa Rinpoche, Gyumed Khensur Rinpoche Lobsang Jampa, and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Inspired by his teachers, he leads meditations that infuse the pure lineage of the great Buddhist masters with science, humor, and the realities of the modern world.Snibbe is the co-founder and Executive Director of A Skeptic’s Path to Enlightenment, a nonprofit organization dedicated to sharing secular forms of Tibetan Buddhist analytical meditation through its podcast, community, and meditation courses. He leads classes and retreats worldwide.

    Dr. Kathleen Ball: A Grail Quest, the Knights Templar in Brazil

    Dr. Kathleen Ball: A Grail Quest, the Knights Templar in Brazil
    Grail Quests often begin with what seems like normal travel adventures, but then suddenly turn into divine synchronistic events that makes one feel as though they're being guided by the Universe. I was to find out, two years later, that many local people knew about this cave. Teenagers even partied in it, as we could see from their graffiti, so what was the big secret? The cave's location was obviously not a secret, but apparently no one understood the significance of that specific cross. What the cave was carved out for turned out to be the secret, helping me to later understand why the Templars dug it out in the middle of nowhere. I returned that evening to our pousada a different person. Something had fundamentally changed within me. I felt that somehow, this discovery was part of my destiny. The Universe had unmistakably directed me to this cave.

    "Did the Knights Templar reach Brazil? This is the enigmatic question boldly asked and beautifully answered in this fascinating quest of discovery that results in firm evidence that, yes, they did indeed reach the Americas long before Columbus. The author brings in her writing an exciting sense of mystery and imagination tempered beautifully by her academic background. An essential addition to the ancient mysteries bookshelf."

    Kathleen, a professional artist and educator, had her life changed dramatically after the 2015 Butte Fire and a subsequent liver transplant. Her background includes expertise in anatomy, sculpture, multimedia, archeology, mythology, metaphysics, and mysticism. Since 2017, she has focused on documentary filmmaking, with her most recent work, The Brazilian Templar Mystery, completed in 2019 and sold to Gaia TV in 2020. Kathleen is passionate about researching global mythology, mystical and spiritual belief systems, and is inspired by ancient indigenous art and archeological discoveries. Her fine art installations have exhibited internationally and her portraits can be found in private collections and museums, including the Leonardo da Vinci piece in the da Vinci Museum in Vinci, Italy.
