The Golden One - Fingerprints of the Gods – Podcast Episode 56 (Part 1)

00:00:00.000 All right.

00:00:30.140 We're back.

00:00:31.020 The greatest podcast of all time.

00:00:33.420 We have reached episode 56.

00:00:35.900 Imagine that.

00:00:36.780 Episode 56, if I may be so bold as to congratulate myself on my hard work over all of these years.

00:00:44.460 So we're going to get into a truly interesting and fascinating theory by Graham Hancock,

00:00:51.280 a name which I suppose many of you are familiar with.

00:00:55.160 So in essence, his great theory is that there was an advanced civilization during the Ice Age

00:01:02.080 which collapsed during the Younger Dryas period.

00:01:06.540 So about 10,000 BC, something like that.

00:01:10.400 So a period of great cataclysmic events that shattered that advanced civilization.

00:01:16.960 And there were some survivors and these survivors then traveled around the world to teach humanity to become civilized again.

00:01:26.460 So we'll get into all of these things later on in the episode.

00:01:31.240 So main topic of today, as you can see in the title of it, The Fingerprints of the Gods.

00:01:36.100 And that is his first big book on the subject.

00:01:38.840 Came out in 1995.

00:01:40.400 So the theory has been out there for a while.

00:01:43.320 And since then, by the way, more evidence has been unearthed.

00:01:47.300 So good stuff, good stuff.

00:01:48.900 So we'll get into all of it.

00:01:50.700 We'll go, yeah, we'll discuss all of the evidence and everything he presents in his book.

00:01:56.680 Well, perhaps not all of it because it's a big long book and he has written more books.

00:02:01.860 I've read two of them.

00:02:03.160 So Fingerprints of the Gods and Magician of the Gods.

00:02:06.220 So that's a follow-up to his first book.

00:02:08.740 And then, of course, as I mentioned in the latest episode, he has two seasons on Netflix.

00:02:15.020 So rare Netflix W, the only good thing Netflix has ever done.

00:02:20.380 Well, perhaps they've done something more good.

00:02:22.460 I don't know. 0.99

00:02:23.020 But usually Netflix is known for being quite degenerate and silly like that.

00:02:27.640 But anyway, those series, those documentary series, Ancient Apocalypse, quite good. 0.80

00:02:33.560 Quite good stuff indeed.

00:02:34.540 So anyway, we have some updates we need to get through first before getting into the book itself.

00:02:41.760 And we're going to talk about all of these interesting topics.

00:02:45.300 Now on to our training update or rather a non-training update.

00:02:50.240 As you perhaps saw, I posted on social media.

00:02:53.240 I was struck down by the bubonic plague.

00:02:55.520 So, by the way, whenever I say that I've gotten some sort of historical disease such as, you know, the Black Death or bubonic plague,

00:03:02.840 that's just a fun way for me to say that I've gotten a cold or something.

00:03:06.760 Perhaps it was COVID.

00:03:07.840 I don't know.

00:03:08.860 It was a sickness that brought me low for a few days at least.

00:03:13.500 And I might have mentioned this before, but I'll mention it again because it's life-saving information.

00:03:20.460 If you have been sick, do wait an additional few days or even a week until you get back to the gym.

00:03:27.580 Because if you still have something in your body, it's absolutely not good for your heart to train.

00:03:33.180 And under no circumstances train while you are sick. 0.99

00:03:36.560 That's extremely stupid and it's inconsiderate towards others because you might contaminate them and thereby lower your own haminga and karma. 1.00

00:03:46.060 And of course, it will be bad for you as well. 1.00

00:03:49.940 So, there is nothing hardcore about training when you're sick. 1.00

00:03:53.000 It's only stupid. 1.00

00:03:54.060 It's only inconsiderate. 1.00

00:03:55.260 It's only, yeah, something that I could never, ever endorse.

00:03:58.700 So, nothing hardcore about it at all.

00:04:00.520 Rest and take it as easy as possible.

00:04:03.160 And then when you're fully back to health, then you can start training lightly again to get back into it.

00:04:08.400 So, I've had a few light sessions just getting some blood flowing.

00:04:12.940 Nothing heavy, nothing strenuous.

00:04:15.000 I err on the side of caution here so I can get back into it properly in a while.

00:04:20.580 So, that's my training and health update.

00:04:22.760 And as I noted on social media as well, posted on both Instagram, X and Telegram about a little gaming review.

00:04:31.300 Since 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,

00:04:40.940 I used this opportunity to power game a bit.

00:04:45.020 Because if you are sick and you can't really do much else productive, then you can always game a bit.

00:04:51.000 So, I tried Age of Empires for the Sultan's Ascend DLC, which is good enough, I suppose, DLC.

00:04:58.480 Not something I would recommend to anyone who's not a great Age of Empires fan.

00:05:03.440 But, as you all know, I have grown up with the Age of Empires games and they are very close to my own heart.

00:05:08.680 So, it's a bit special for me, I could say.

00:05:12.440 But, yeah, hopefully they can release a DLC where you can play as the Crusaders.

00:05:17.520 I know they released a DLC where you can actually play as the Templars.

00:05:21.360 But, yeah, I want a campaign.

00:05:22.920 A campaign set in that time period during the Crusades and you play as the Templars or something like that.

00:05:30.600 So, anyway, that was my take there.

00:05:33.160 And as I posted about in the post.

00:05:36.380 By the way, we're deep into highly autistic territory here. 0.51

00:05:39.880 So, 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.

00:05:51.300 I understand, maybe not super relevant.

00:05:52.920 But, yeah, this is the style of the podcast, at least.

00:05:55.400 And I have a few updates before I get into the main topic.

00:05:59.660 So, anyway, that about Age of Empires 4.

00:06:02.540 And, as I said, I would like the unit icons to have some nice artwork instead of just a small silhouette of a unit.

00:06:09.920 Anyway, again, I'm a sensitive artist.

00:06:12.480 I am an enjoyer of Age of Empires.

00:06:14.640 So, you'll have to excuse this tangent.

00:06:17.600 Then I also managed to play the Age of Mythology Retold campaign.

00:06:21.540 So, it was a bit of a nostalgia trip as well to play as Arcanthos again.

00:06:26.620 So, the Greek myth.

00:06:28.600 And it was quite fun.

00:06:29.660 I could actually show my elder daughter some of the scenes, some of the cinematics from that campaign as well.

00:06:35.580 Because in one mission, you actually have to rescue Odysseus and his men from Cirque when they have been transformed into pigs.

00:06:44.080 And we actually have a nice book.

00:06:46.660 It's titled Osborne Illustrated Stories from the Greek Myths.

00:06:50.620 So, that I read often to my elder daughter and the Odysseus is included in those stories.

00:06:57.860 So, she's familiar with Cirque so it was fun to show her.

00:07:01.000 And then some mythological creatures as well such as the Hydra.

00:07:04.420 She likes Hercules as well.

00:07:06.320 Unfortunately, their Norse mythology equivalent isn't as nice as the Greek one for some reason.

00:07:12.300 But, yeah, it's good stuff at least.

00:07:14.480 Maybe I'll post a picture on it.

00:07:15.820 So, if you have children yourself, you can read.

00:07:18.240 It's very cozy.

00:07:19.620 Highly recommended.

00:07:20.620 Fatherhood activity to read at night.

00:07:23.980 So, the basic night routine is big glass of milk and then stories.

00:07:29.280 A few stories.

00:07:30.180 So, it's good.

00:07:31.080 Good times.

00:07:31.680 Good times.

00:07:37.520 Now, moving on to a topic that is absolutely not good times.

00:07:41.280 It's something that is quite blackpilling to be honest.

00:07:43.540 But, I want to talk about it briefly anyway.

00:07:46.080 We have to talk about the boomer generation.

00:07:48.400 And this is something I have.

00:07:50.920 I don't think I've ever gone on a rant about boomers.

00:07:53.700 But, I have to do it.

00:07:54.880 I have to do it.

00:07:55.540 And I realize full well that there are plenty of exceptions.

00:07:58.620 And boomers from one country, they can differ from boomers from another country. 0.70

00:08:03.560 So, we're mainly talking about Western Europe and the colonies.

00:08:08.040 So, American, Canada, etc.

00:08:09.760 So, funnily enough, communism actually shielded some of the boomers in the east a bit more.

00:08:15.860 But 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.

00:08:25.040 Now, of course, I don't know if he actually believes that I've called Putin an insufferable boomer on a few occasions.

00:08:32.640 I don't know if he's just posting about it to gain sympathies from the third world or whatever.

00:08:37.160 But, yes, the boomer mind virus, we can say. 0.57

00:08:40.720 And here's something to keep in mind as well.

00:08:42.580 That it's no use to rant overly much against boomers.

00:08:47.140 But rather the mechanisms which made the boomer generation so insufferable and so toxic and detrimental to European civilization. 1.00

00:08:56.200 So, if we want to point a finger, then we can point to hyper-individualism and atheism.

00:09:02.160 Basically, perhaps the most godless generation of all time, the boomer generation. 1.00

00:09:07.440 And, yeah, it's been a catastrophe.

00:09:10.660 So, 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.

00:09:19.580 He 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.

00:09:28.240 And we need to realize that we're all brothers and sisters.

00:09:30.840 And hippie nonsense like that, I know he means well, but his boomer, the boomer mentality comes in every once in a while.

00:09:39.420 And I know he's a bit of an enjoyer of drugs. 0.85

00:09:42.500 Now, of course, he's not someone who's degenerate in that sense.

00:09:46.520 He's a spiritual seeker, so I can have an understanding here.

00:09:49.680 But still, if you read his books, be aware of it.

00:09:52.700 Now, 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.

00:10:02.200 It's just sometimes he throws it in there.

00:10:05.300 And if you listen to interviews of him, sometimes he says silly things.

00:10:09.620 But, yeah, you can just take it for what it is. 0.98

00:10:11.580 It's the cursed boomer spirit that possesses him to make him say silly things like that. 0.88

00:10:19.720 But anyway, on to the main reason for me talking about boomers. 0.89

00:10:24.800 We had the tragedy, the tragic murder of Austin Metcalf in good old America.

00:10:31.120 And 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.

00:10:49.680 And the very day after, his father, a boomer, goes out to say it's not about race.

00:10:56.600 And it's almost like he's trying to plead and appease the other side. 0.96

00:11:02.020 It's truly, truly disgusting.

00:11:04.080 It's so grotesque that I didn't even know what to say. 0.80

00:11:07.840 It was too absurd. 0.94

00:11:10.520 I was reminded of the clown world meme that went around in 2019 when things were so absurd that you just posted a clown pep. 0.90

00:11:20.100 Frog to, as a response to whatever silliness was being said.

00:11:25.320 So anyway, and then he has said some other things.

00:11:28.720 And, you know, very disturbed individual, the father of the killed young man here.

00:11:34.400 Very, very disturbing indeed.

00:11:35.800 I don't want to get too blackpilled because we have, as I said, a very fascinating topic to talk about instead.

00:11:42.920 So anyway, my own take here is that a multiracial society is a society where you will have constant conflicts.

00:11:49.660 It is what it is.

00:11:50.740 You can't have these multicultural, multiracial societies. 1.00

00:11:54.560 It simply doesn't work.

00:11:55.980 And I know it's hard to hear for many Americans.

00:11:58.220 But, yeah, I'm just speaking the truth.

00:12:01.580 You can't have it.

00:12:02.360 And then, of course, when it comes to boomers, the only take I have is that hyper-individualism is bad.

00:12:08.040 So individualism can be good, but when it gets too much, it's absolutely detrimental.

00:12:12.900 And atheism is not good if you replace a belief in something higher, in my case, the European gods, with another religion.

00:12:23.440 So in his case, this boomer's case, it's racial equality, civil rights mentality, or whatever it might be. 0.59

00:12:32.360 You know, political correctness, equality.

00:12:34.600 That is a religion for these individuals. 0.94

00:12:37.160 And that makes them completely insane, in my humble opinion.

00:12:41.160 So that is what we can learn from this tragedy, at least.

00:12:45.240 Multiracial societies do not work. 1.00

00:12:48.080 And atheism is bad.

00:12:49.700 Hyper-ultra-individualism is also bad.

00:12:53.420 Now, on a last note before getting into the book itself, discussing the arguments, the evidence, and everything like that,

00:13:01.900 I do want to say something about Graham Hancock that bothers me ever so slightly, or perhaps quite a bit, to be honest.

00:13:09.940 So he's from good old Albion, British man.

00:13:13.840 And as you all know, Britain is perhaps the country on earth that is the hardest hit by madness.

00:13:20.320 So you have a two-tier policing system.

00:13:22.940 You've had foreign rape gangs targeting young white British children and, you know, police covering it up.

00:13:31.000 So one of the most grotesque tragedies in human history. 0.96

00:13:35.000 I don't know what else could possibly be worse.

00:13:38.720 You've had tragedies in war, of course, when the Mongols invaded both Europe and the Middle East. 0.98

00:13:44.740 They built towers of skulls.

00:13:46.600 Same thing with Timberlain in later centuries.

00:13:50.900 But that was war.

00:13:52.420 There was a foreign entity invading and occupying, killing the men, enslaving women and children.

00:13:57.300 And that is something else.

00:13:59.020 But a society which can't even protect its young girls like that and actually covers up the crimes of foreigners like that, 1.00

00:14:08.020 it's so grotesque that I don't really know what to say.

00:14:11.100 So anyway, you have this.

00:14:12.600 And as a British man, you sort of have a responsibility to at least mention it, to at least say it once.

00:14:20.220 In Graham Hancock's case, he's an author.

00:14:22.000 Sure, perhaps he doesn't need to write a book about it, but at least he could say it at some stage.

00:14:27.240 In an interview with Joe Rogan, for example, he could just say it.

00:14:30.600 It takes him 30 seconds to just bring, to highlight the great crimes that have been committed against the British children.

00:14:39.520 He could do it, but he doesn't.

00:14:41.060 Instead, he goes on about his struggle against organized archaeology, big archaeology, the academics of archaeology.

00:14:50.200 And he has that as a big struggle. 0.99

00:14:51.780 And it becomes a bit silly, a bit pathetic. 0.98

00:14:55.380 I understand completely that Graham Hancock is tired of all of these dorks in academia. 0.99

00:15:00.520 I understand they are dorks and they lack vision and they are just nitpicking and, you know, sniping at him for decades, 0.84

00:15:08.200 ever since 1995 when he published Fingerprints of the Gods, they've been at him. 0.95

00:15:12.960 But still, you have to put it into perspective.

00:15:16.300 Again, our civilization is crumbling before our very eyes.

00:15:20.060 So, a dispute in archaeology, whether there was an ancient lost civilization or not, it's really not a battle.

00:15:29.820 It's not the battle at hand.

00:15:31.500 It's not the quest at hand.

00:15:33.400 The quest at hand is to, again, save our children from being tormented in this way, to save our civilization.

00:15:40.140 That is the struggle in every other, you know, it's just a side quest.

00:15:44.180 It's just a side thing.

00:15:45.340 And if you don't see that, then I don't know what to say.

00:15:48.160 So, I applaud Graham Hancock.

00:15:50.020 I am a great fan of his.

00:15:51.380 I can honestly say I do like him.

00:15:53.080 I do like the work he has done.

00:15:54.620 And, again, I understand if he's tired of this archaeologist.

00:15:58.260 But when he presents this as a great struggle against archaeology and they are so oppressive,

00:16:03.480 it's really like looking at two children at the playground fighting over a toy.

00:16:08.860 It's not dignified.

00:16:10.400 It's not dignified in the least.

00:16:11.940 That all being said, let's get into the main topic at hand.

00:16:18.160 Actually, a good segue into the main topic is to ever so briefly discuss an accusation he often gets by these dorks in academia.

00:16:31.580 And they accuse him of being racist.

00:16:34.240 Imagine that.

00:16:35.460 Dorks accusing others of being racist.

00:16:37.560 Now, of course, in the current year, 2025, we don't care anymore. 0.97

00:16:42.120 We no longer care about this silly word thrown around all the time by low-thumos individuals. 0.96

00:16:49.740 But, anyway, they call him a racist and white supremacist, despite having an Indian wife, an Indian Tamil wife, by the way. 0.97

00:16:57.900 But they call him a racist because he shares what the Native Americans said.

00:17:04.520 So, Aztecs and Incas, what they said about the origins of their own civilization.

00:17:10.500 And they said that fair-skinned, bearded men came to teach us things.

00:17:15.940 And since he is sharing the stories of the Native Americans, then they call him a racist.

00:17:21.840 So, and then, of course, his counter to that is that he says, you know, why am I the racist?

00:17:27.480 You should be the racist who don't take these Native Americans seriously. 0.95

00:17:32.840 So, the dorks then, they say, no, but it was only the Spanish who concocted these myths to justify their own takeover. 0.96

00:17:41.580 But it doesn't hold up in the least.

00:17:43.480 You can talk to, if you truly respect Native Americans, as I said in my latest episodes, I've always been interested in Native Americans.

00:17:51.380 Always had a certain respect for them.

00:17:53.300 And if you truly do respect them, respect them enough to actually listen to what they have to say.

00:17:58.420 Respect them enough to listen to their own stories.

00:18:01.420 So, yeah, anyway, we'll get into this.

00:18:03.780 I 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.

00:18:18.060 So, the Mayans, for example, taught them astrology, astronomy, agriculture, architecture, and everything like that.

00:18:26.880 So, then, in their view, so in the dorky view, the dorky academic view, is that he takes away their accomplishments.

00:18:34.800 So, basically, what he is saying is that the Incas, they didn't build many of these monuments themselves.

00:18:41.280 The 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.

00:18:50.260 So, anyway, that is what these individuals are saying.

00:18:53.760 But, for me personally, if someone starts calling another individual a racist, I know that they don't really have many arguments of their own.

00:19:01.120 So, yeah, take it for what it is.

00:19:03.680 Alright, we're jumping into the book.

00:19:05.940 So, I'm quoting now from Fingerprints of the Gods, The Quest Continues, by Graham Hancock.

00:19:11.780 And we're turning to chapter 6, titled He Came in a Time of Chaos.

00:19:17.700 So, it's page 49.

00:19:21.500 And I quote.

00:19:22.200 Through all the ancient legends of the peoples of the Andes stalked a tall, bearded, pale-skinned figure wrapped in a cloak of secrecy.

00:19:31.000 And though he was known by many different names in many different places, he was always recognizably the same figure.

00:19:38.180 Viracocha.

00:19:39.380 Foam of the sea.

00:19:40.480 A master of science and magic who wielded terrible weapons and who came in a time of chaos to set the world to rights.

00:19:47.240 The same basic story was shared in many variants by all the peoples of the Andean region.

00:19:53.500 It 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.

00:20:02.980 Society had fallen into disorder and the people suffered much hardship.

00:20:06.960 Then there suddenly appeared, coming from the south, a white man of large stature and authoritative demeanor.

00:20:15.120 This 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.

00:20:25.000 End quote.

00:20:25.940 How about that?

00:20:27.580 If you're a sensitive poet like myself, this is why you read books.

00:20:31.280 This is why you read this kind of literature.

00:20:34.080 To stumble upon epic quotes that you can share with your esteemed following.

00:20:39.060 So yeah, I do like stuff like this.

00:20:41.880 So it's from a myth.

00:20:43.580 And again, Hancock uses this myth to strengthen his case of a great cataclysm and survivors going around the world after said cataclysm.

00:20:54.180 So we're actually going to get into the cataclysm itself.

00:20:57.940 So then we turn to the other book I mentioned, Magicians of the Gods, and this came out in 2015.

00:21:04.920 So yeah, 20 years later than The Fingerprints of the Gods.

00:21:09.700 And during that time, the science did its magic.

00:21:13.440 So yeah, this was, you know, some evidence to strengthen his case.

00:21:18.800 So I'm quoting now from page 38 from Magicians of the Gods.

00:21:24.560 This epoch, which geologists call Younger Dryas, has long been recognized as mysterious and tumultuous.

00:21:31.080 In 10,800 BC, when it began, the Earth had been emerging from the Ice Age for roughly 10,000 years.

00:21:38.760 Global temperatures were rising steadily and the ice caps were melting.

00:21:43.160 Then there was a sudden dramatic return to colder conditions, nearly as cold as the peak of the Ice Age 21,000 years ago.

00:21:51.260 This short, sharp deep freeze lasted for 1,200 years until 9,600 BC when the warming trend resumed.

00:22:00.820 Global temperatures shot up again and the remaining ice caps melted very suddenly, dumping all the water they contained into the oceans.

00:22:09.120 End quote.

00:22:10.260 And I'm going to continue to quote from page 93 of the very same book.

00:22:14.480 So on the same topic.

00:22:17.700 Meanwhile, my own hypothesis of an advanced civilization of prehistoric antiquity obliterated from the face of the Earth during the Younger Dryas window

00:22:26.080 is also strengthened by their work.

00:22:29.020 For if their calculations are correct, the explosive power of the Younger Dryas comet would have been of the order of 10 million megatons.

00:22:37.260 That makes it 2 million times greater in its effects than the former Soviet Tsar bomba, the largest nuclear weapon ever tested,

00:22:46.720 and a thousand times greater than the estimated explosive power of all nuclear devices stockpiled in the world today.

00:22:53.940 A global disaster of such magnitude, at exactly the time I suggested in Fingerprints of the Gods,

00:22:59.620 does not prove the existence of a lost civilization of the Ice Age,

00:23:02.860 but does at least provide us with a mechanism large enough, if such a civilization did exist,

00:23:08.720 to have obliterated it almost entirely from human memory.

00:23:13.040 End quote.

00:23:14.120 So, to summarize, the world had been warming from the Ice Age,

00:23:19.620 things getting nicer and warmer, and then suddenly a great comet, boom, hits the Earth,

00:23:25.720 and causes things to take a turn for the worse.

00:23:29.060 And this, by the way, this is where it ties in these ancient myths,

00:23:33.420 including the biblical myth of the Great Flood, by the way.

00:23:37.160 And this leads us into one of the most interesting topics of all time.

00:23:41.620 Of course, we're talking about Atlantis.

00:23:43.600 Now, I know Graham Hancock is a bit hesitant to talk about Atlantis, 0.90

00:23:46.980 because then he will be attacked even more by these dorks who do not believe in Atlantis.

00:23:52.320 And just a disclaimer here, on a personal note,

00:23:54.820 I don't know if Atlantis was real,

00:23:57.240 but generally, my attitude when I'm unsure of something,

00:24:01.400 if I haven't made up my mind.

00:24:03.200 And, by the way, this is not something I will stake my intellectual repetition on.

00:24:08.040 You know, I have only one thing I ultimately care about,

00:24:11.280 and that is regime change.

00:24:12.760 So, if there was an ancient land named Atlantis somewhere,

00:24:17.180 perhaps in the Sahara, perhaps in the Atlantic Ocean,

00:24:20.400 I don't know.

00:24:21.180 I'm not gonna, you know, it's not a hill I'm willing to die on,

00:24:23.720 but I'm also very much willing to entertain that possibility.

00:24:28.020 And this, by the way, if you are unsure,

00:24:31.180 then it's a good idea to go with the most cool and fun alternative.

00:24:35.400 So, it's more cool and fun to actually believe in Atlantis.

00:24:38.620 Something else to keep in mind,

00:24:40.060 if you look at the discovery of Troy,

00:24:42.800 you had a German businessman, Heinrich Schliemann.

00:24:46.620 He said,

00:24:47.160 This place is real, and I'm gonna find it.

00:24:49.300 And then, also, you had this archaeologist.

00:24:51.940 They said, 0.99

00:24:52.780 You know, you're crazy. 0.97

00:24:54.140 It doesn't exist. 0.98

00:24:55.220 It's just a myth.

00:24:56.440 But he said,

00:24:57.420 Let's go, champ. 0.99

00:24:58.380 Let's go, he said.

00:24:59.640 And, yeah, they started excavating,

00:25:01.800 and, lo and behold,

00:25:03.480 they found Troy.

00:25:04.880 So, this is also why I am quite sympathetic

00:25:08.720 towards Graham Hancock and his theory,

00:25:10.900 that he is more of a man of action.

00:25:13.380 And, you know, he's been traveling the world.

00:25:14.800 He's been at it for a long time.

00:25:16.160 And he's really kept a high pace.

00:25:19.020 So, trying to do the actual research.

00:25:21.440 And, who knows?

00:25:22.640 Maybe we will find it.

00:25:24.100 So, again, I'm not saying that Atlantis did exist.

00:25:27.000 I'm not saying that it didn't exist.

00:25:28.600 I'm saying that I hope it did,

00:25:30.720 because it's the more fun thing.

00:25:32.240 And it wouldn't surprise me, in the least,

00:25:34.060 if some sort of evidence,

00:25:35.420 archaeological evidence,

00:25:36.820 pops up in a year now.

00:25:38.300 Because, after all,

00:25:39.060 if you look at the last ten years,

00:25:40.420 there have been so many new findings

00:25:42.600 on DNA, archaeogenetics,

00:25:45.120 everything like that.

00:25:46.460 And, by the way,

00:25:47.220 something we'll get into in a bit as well

00:25:49.760 is Göbekli Tepe in Anatolia,

00:25:52.580 so today's Turkey.

00:25:54.040 It wasn't actually discovered

00:25:55.320 when Graham Hancock wrote his first book,

00:25:57.600 The Fingerprints of the Gods,

00:25:58.940 in 1995.

00:25:59.860 It was discovered after.

00:26:01.560 And that, of course,

00:26:02.320 it gave credence to his theory.

00:26:04.920 So, anyway, main point.

00:26:06.000 If you're in doubt,

00:26:07.640 sure, you don't need to die

00:26:09.280 on that particular hill

00:26:10.440 that Atlantis was real,

00:26:12.040 because, again,

00:26:12.820 probably your main concern

00:26:14.380 is also regime change.

00:26:16.240 But it's more fun.

00:26:17.580 It's a more fun way

00:26:19.040 to live your life

00:26:19.820 when you're open

00:26:20.460 to these cool possibilities.

00:26:22.480 So, it's an ever-so-important mindset

00:26:26.700 to have.

00:26:27.600 Anyway, that was a bit of a tangent.

00:26:29.300 Let's get into Atlantis now.

00:26:31.080 And I quote yet again

00:26:32.160 from Magicians of the Gods,

00:26:34.960 page 33.

00:26:36.540 The Greek lawmaker Solon

00:26:39.220 visited Egypt in 600 BC

00:26:41.460 and there he was told

00:26:42.920 a very extraordinary story

00:26:44.580 by the priests

00:26:45.380 at the temple of Saïs

00:26:46.760 in the Nile Delta,

00:26:48.200 a story that was eventually

00:26:49.500 handed down

00:26:50.120 to his more famous descendant,

00:26:51.840 Plato,

00:26:52.480 who in due course

00:26:53.640 shared it with the world

00:26:54.880 in his dialogues

00:26:55.660 of Timaeus and Critias.

00:26:57.900 It is, of course,

00:26:58.940 the story of the great lost civilization

00:27:00.940 called Atlantis,

00:27:02.300 swallowed up by flood and earthquake

00:27:03.880 in a single terrible day and night,

00:27:05.880 9,000 years before the time of Solon

00:27:08.800 or in our calendar

00:27:10.740 in 9,600 BC.

00:27:14.320 End quote.

00:27:14.980 And this then coincides

00:27:16.820 with the cataclysm

00:27:19.240 of the younger Dryas.

00:27:21.300 So, a coincidence?

00:27:22.740 I don't know.

00:27:23.360 I am not a believer

00:27:24.880 in coincidences.

00:27:26.200 So, in my humble opinion,

00:27:27.740 it actually strengthens

00:27:28.900 the case for Atlantis.

00:27:30.780 Something else

00:27:31.480 that he talks about

00:27:32.680 at length

00:27:33.640 throughout his books

00:27:34.620 and he has also written

00:27:35.860 another book

00:27:36.680 that I haven't read yet

00:27:38.380 but I will probably do so

00:27:39.860 at one stage now

00:27:41.540 since I'm an enjoyer

00:27:42.780 of the great work

00:27:44.160 of Graham Hancock.

00:27:45.060 Anyway, it's called

00:27:45.840 Underworld

00:27:46.460 and there he writes

00:27:48.020 about underwater

00:27:49.480 cities and palaces

00:27:51.040 and other epic things

00:27:53.820 of that nature.

00:27:55.240 So, anyway,

00:27:56.160 the main point here

00:27:57.400 I wanted to mention

00:27:58.040 is that the sea levels

00:27:59.720 back in the day,

00:28:00.900 so during this time,

00:28:02.680 they were a lot lower

00:28:04.080 and then

00:28:04.840 when things started

00:28:06.580 to heat up again,

00:28:07.780 things got warmer,

00:28:08.960 then a lot of water

00:28:10.280 was released

00:28:10.920 and many

00:28:12.340 previous land masses,

00:28:14.420 they were

00:28:14.820 overcome

00:28:15.640 with water.

00:28:16.700 So, that's why

00:28:17.480 you can find

00:28:18.080 a lot of these temples

00:28:19.220 on the sea bottom now.

00:28:23.340 So, that's something

00:28:24.020 we can keep in mind

00:28:24.820 if we're looking

00:28:25.340 at evidence

00:28:26.060 for a lost civilization

00:28:28.660 or many

00:28:29.320 lost civilizations

00:28:30.380 and cultures

00:28:31.420 over all of these years

00:28:32.760 that it's not only

00:28:33.680 on land

00:28:34.080 but it's also

00:28:34.800 in water,

00:28:36.040 underwater

00:28:36.500 that we can look

00:28:37.320 for this kind

00:28:38.900 of evidence.

00:28:40.260 So, all that being said,

00:28:41.740 we'll go to

00:28:42.380 a music break

00:28:43.460 and we'll be

00:28:44.080 right back

00:28:44.720 and of course,

00:28:45.920 an enjoyer
