Author and explorer Hugh Newman returns to the show this week to discuss the ultra-ancient site of Karahan Tepe. What is being discovered and unearthed at this site that dates back at least 11,000 years? Hugh is an expert on megaliths, hosts the popular site Megalithomania, and is not afraid to delve into alternative history and ancient giants. Were there blurry creatures that may have helped build this site and is it a candidate for ground zero of forbidden technology? Is this site connected to the Watchers? How does a structure so advanced just "pop up" in the archeological timeline? Karahan Tepe is a sister site to the nearby and much more well-known ancient site of Gobekli Tepe and Hugh takes us on a fascinating journey to a place that defies the narrative of modern archeology and is rewriting the most ancient history of human civilization.

It's the show's birthday! And we're going to celebrate with LEARNING! How much do we really know about the history of keeping time? When did human speech first arise, and how would we even figure that out? And when did the concept of birthdays have its birthday?
We also learn about: Your favorite podcast on your favorite torso, the blind watchmaker, time technology is not like iphone upgrades, Ancient or Recent, France’s decimal clocks, counting knots on a ship, of course people cared about keeping time back then, escapements brought us TikTok, the not so timey wimey etymology of clock, putting clock inventions in the right order, we had sundials in the 1800s, you’re holding like 20 different iphones, redefining the second, ephemris time was a “ridiculous decision”, keeping time in space without the Earth, the importance of NTP, UTC is confusing fairly for everyone, what is speech? language vs speech, are there speech fossils? diaphragm is the only one we don’t talk about, laryngeal descent theory, teaching monkeys to talk, is this theory good science? “you guys are so smart”, speech research is so multi-disciplinary, you love a great review, deconstructing the theory, the reconstruction was so bad the mouth wouldn’t have been able to swallow, they forgot to check other animals for descended larynxes oops, speech may have developed waaay earlier, bodies ready for speech vs brains ready for speech, research beef, quoting “mic drop”, “i thought the answer would be simple and i was really really wrong”, one of the hardest problems in science, the birthday of birthdays, what do you need for a birthday? defining birthdays by caesium, Wurdi Youang, pharaoh “birthdays” being born as gods, celebrating my birthday by driving away evil spirits, celebrating the mother on birthdays, i brought you “pure intentions” for your birthday, Claudia Severa’s birthday invitation tablet, the first birthday candles, god i hope they get the short candles this year, and a fun science burrito blanket.

Grab your sunscreen and a coconut because we're going back to the islands! This week we bring on researcher, explorer, and author Heather Arnold to discuss here book "The Islands of the Giants: The Lost Race of Giants of Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao". About to be a full time resident on the islands, Heather discusses the anomalies and her findings on the true history of these three islands in the Caribbean. What evidence has she found that there indeed were giants on these islands? This episode gets blurry with everything lights and UFO sightings to stories of large people being found and the historical evidence suddenly disappears.
