The Fingerprints of the Gods by Graham Hancock is a theory which has been around since the early 20th century. It posits that there was an advanced civilization during the Ice Age which collapsed during the Younger Dryas period, about 10,000 BC. There were some survivors and they went around the world to teach humanity to become civilized again.
00:03:08.860It was a sickness that brought me low for a few days at least.
00:03:13.500And I might have mentioned this before, but I'll mention it again because it's life-saving information.
00:03:20.460If you have been sick, do wait an additional few days or even a week until you get back to the gym.
00:03:27.580Because if you still have something in your body, it's absolutely not good for your heart to train.
00:03:33.180And under no circumstances train while you are sick.0.99
00:03:36.560That's extremely stupid and it's inconsiderate towards others because you might contaminate them and thereby lower your own haminga and karma.1.00
00:03:46.060And of course, it will be bad for you as well.1.00
00:03:49.940So, there is nothing hardcore about training when you're sick.1.00
00:04:15.000I err on the side of caution here so I can get back into it properly in a while.
00:04:20.580So, that's my training and health update.
00:04:22.760And as I noted on social media as well, posted on both Instagram, X and Telegram about a little gaming review.
00:04:31.300Since I have been struck down by the bubonic plague, I, aside from, you know, responding to emails and stuff like that and doing my fatherly duties,
00:04:40.940I used this opportunity to power game a bit.
00:04:45.020Because if you are sick and you can't really do much else productive, then you can always game a bit.
00:04:51.000So, I tried Age of Empires for the Sultan's Ascend DLC, which is good enough, I suppose, DLC.
00:04:58.480Not something I would recommend to anyone who's not a great Age of Empires fan.
00:05:03.440But, as you all know, I have grown up with the Age of Empires games and they are very close to my own heart.
00:05:08.680So, it's a bit special for me, I could say.
00:05:12.440But, yeah, hopefully they can release a DLC where you can play as the Crusaders.
00:05:17.520I know they released a DLC where you can actually play as the Templars.
00:05:36.380By the way, we're deep into highly autistic territory here.0.51
00:05:39.880So, excuse me if you're not into Age of Empires, I fully understand that this might not be super relevant to the topic of ancient civilizations and lost cities underwater and everything like that.
00:05:51.300I understand, maybe not super relevant.
00:05:52.920But, yeah, this is the style of the podcast, at least.
00:05:55.400And I have a few updates before I get into the main topic.
00:05:59.660So, anyway, that about Age of Empires 4.
00:06:02.540And, as I said, I would like the unit icons to have some nice artwork instead of just a small silhouette of a unit.
00:06:09.920Anyway, again, I'm a sensitive artist.
00:08:09.760So, funnily enough, communism actually shielded some of the boomers in the east a bit more.
00:08:15.860But then again, you have boomers such as Putin who talks about, you know, Western Europe being oppressive against the third world and everything like that.
00:08:25.040Now, of course, I don't know if he actually believes that I've called Putin an insufferable boomer on a few occasions.
00:08:32.640I don't know if he's just posting about it to gain sympathies from the third world or whatever.
00:08:37.160But, yes, the boomer mind virus, we can say.0.57
00:08:40.720And here's something to keep in mind as well.
00:08:42.580That it's no use to rant overly much against boomers.
00:08:47.140But rather the mechanisms which made the boomer generation so insufferable and so toxic and detrimental to European civilization.1.00
00:08:56.200So, if we want to point a finger, then we can point to hyper-individualism and atheism.
00:09:02.160Basically, perhaps the most godless generation of all time, the boomer generation.1.00
00:09:10.660So, I wanted to mention all of this first and foremost because the main topic of this episode is, of course, Graham Hancock's great theory.
00:09:19.580He is a boomer and when you read his work, it becomes apparent that he's a bit of a hippie boomer when it talks about, you know, humanity being one.
00:09:28.240And we need to realize that we're all brothers and sisters.
00:09:30.840And hippie nonsense like that, I know he means well, but his boomer, the boomer mentality comes in every once in a while.
00:09:39.420And I know he's a bit of an enjoyer of drugs.0.85
00:09:42.500Now, of course, he's not someone who's degenerate in that sense.
00:09:46.520He's a spiritual seeker, so I can have an understanding here.
00:09:49.680But still, if you read his books, be aware of it.
00:09:52.700Now, I will say, though, and I will get into this later in the episode as well, that it's not something that, you know, takes away from his arguments or anything like that.
00:10:02.200It's just sometimes he throws it in there.
00:10:05.300And if you listen to interviews of him, sometimes he says silly things.
00:10:09.620But, yeah, you can just take it for what it is.0.98
00:10:11.580It's the cursed boomer spirit that possesses him to make him say silly things like that.0.88
00:10:19.720But anyway, on to the main reason for me talking about boomers.0.89
00:10:24.800We had the tragedy, the tragic murder of Austin Metcalf in good old America.
00:10:31.120And this is, of course, you know, as I say repeatedly, basically not a single day goes by without one of our people of European blood getting killed or otherwise harassed or whatever by one of these other ethnicities, in this case, an African-American.
00:10:49.680And the very day after, his father, a boomer, goes out to say it's not about race.
00:10:56.600And it's almost like he's trying to plead and appease the other side.0.96
00:17:43.480You can talk to, if you truly respect Native Americans, as I said in my latest episodes, I've always been interested in Native Americans.
00:17:51.380Always had a certain respect for them.
00:17:53.300And if you truly do respect them, respect them enough to actually listen to what they have to say.
00:17:58.420Respect them enough to listen to their own stories.
00:18:01.420So, yeah, anyway, we'll get into this.
00:18:03.780I just thought to mention it that he gets called a racist because of that and also because his main point is that there was an ancient civilization that taught these other later civilizations.
00:18:18.060So, the Mayans, for example, taught them astrology, astronomy, agriculture, architecture, and everything like that.
00:18:26.880So, then, in their view, so in the dorky view, the dorky academic view, is that he takes away their accomplishments.
00:18:34.800So, basically, what he is saying is that the Incas, they didn't build many of these monuments themselves.
00:18:41.280The Mayans, they didn't come up with their astronomy themselves, but they inherited it from others, from a previous civilization that taught it to them.
00:18:50.260So, anyway, that is what these individuals are saying.
00:18:53.760But, for me personally, if someone starts calling another individual a racist, I know that they don't really have many arguments of their own.
00:19:40.480A master of science and magic who wielded terrible weapons and who came in a time of chaos to set the world to rights.
00:19:47.240The same basic story was shared in many variants by all the peoples of the Andean region.
00:19:53.500It began with a vivid description of a terrifying period when the earth had been inundated by a great flood and plunged into darkness by the disappearance of the sun.
00:20:02.980Society had fallen into disorder and the people suffered much hardship.
00:20:06.960Then there suddenly appeared, coming from the south, a white man of large stature and authoritative demeanor.
00:20:15.120This man had such great power that he changed the hills into valleys and from the valleys made great hills, causing streams to flow from the living stone.
00:22:17.700Meanwhile, my own hypothesis of an advanced civilization of prehistoric antiquity obliterated from the face of the Earth during the Younger Dryas window
