Hope you enjoy and please share it with a friend. What if some of humanity's greatest mysteries aren't waiting to be discovered in outer space—but are already here, hidden beneath our feet and resting silently on the bottom of the ocean? On this fascinating episode of the **222 Paranormal Podcast**, hosts **Jennifer and Joe Shortridge** dive into the world of ancient artifacts discovered underground and underwater—objects that challenge what we think we know about ancient civilizations, lost knowledge, and the true history of human achievement. For centuries, explorers, archaeologists, divers, and researchers have uncovered incredible objects buried deep beneath layers of earth or preserved beneath the waves. Some have perfectly reasonable explanations. Others remain surrounded by questions, controversy, and mystery. Could certain discoveries suggest that ancient people possessed knowledge far beyond what we have traditionally been taught? Were advanced civilizations lost to time? Or are we sometimes underestimating the intelligence, creativity, and scientific abilities of our ancestors? One of the most remarkable discoveries discussed in this episode is the **Antikythera Mechanism**, an astonishing ancient device recovered from a shipwreck near the Greek island of Antikythera. Often described as one of the world's earliest known analog computers, this complex collection of gears has fascinated scientists and historians for generations. How could people living more than 2,000 years ago create something with such extraordinary mechanical sophistication? What was it designed to calculate? And does the Antikythera Mechanism represent a level of ancient technological knowledge that was later lost? Jennifer and Joe also explore mysterious ancient manuscripts, including the legendary **Voynich Manuscript**, one of history's most puzzling documents. Filled with strange illustrations, unknown plants, mysterious symbols, and writing that has resisted centuries of interpretation, the manuscript continues to spark debate. Is it written in a forgotten language? Is it an elaborate code? Could it contain lost scientific, medical, or mystical knowledge? Or is the truth something entirely different? The conversation goes even deeper as the hosts examine other strange discoveries connected to ancient civilizations and unexplained history. From objects recovered beneath the ocean to artifacts discovered deep underground, these mysteries raise an important question: **How much of the ancient world has yet to be discovered?** The oceans cover most of our planet, while countless archaeological sites remain buried beneath cities, forests, deserts, and layers of sediment. Entire communities may have disappeared beneath rising seas, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and other natural disasters. Over thousands of years, evidence of human civilizations can be swallowed by the earth and sea, leaving behind only fragments for future generations to uncover. Could there be ancient cities still hidden beneath the waves? Could underground discoveries eventually rewrite parts of the history we think we know? And when researchers discover an artifact that doesn't seem to fit neatly into our understanding of its time, should we automatically dismiss it—or should we be willing to ask more questions? This episode explores the line between established archaeology and unexplained speculation. Joe and Jennifer discuss the excitement of discovery while examining why extraordinary claims require careful investigation. Not every mysterious artifact is evidence of a lost advanced civilization—but some discoveries remind us that history is constantly being updated as new evidence comes to light. Join the **222 Paranormal Podcast** as we journey beneath the surface of the earth and descend into the depths of the ocean in search of ancient mysteries. From the incredible Antikythera Mechanism to the mysterious Voynich Manuscript and other artifacts that continue to raise questions, this is an episode about lost knowledge, forgotten civilizations, ancient technology, and the possibility that humanity's past may be even stranger than we imagine. **What secrets are still waiting beneath the ground and beneath the sea?** Perhaps the greatest mysteries in history haven't been lost at all. Perhaps they simply haven't been found yet. Welcome to the 222 Paranormal Podcast, your gateway to the captivating world of the supernatural.

Listen Now to 006 WTFuture New Living Expo Watch Now 006 WTFuture New Living Expo In this delightfully chaotic episode of What the Future, the hosts dive headfirst into the weird and wonderful, kicking things off with a recap of the multi-generational New Living Expo. It is a wild ride through reports of impending ET contact, channeling dragon energy, “walk-in” aliens treating human bodies like cosmic Airbnbs, and a surprisingly talented rapping event producer. However, the mystical vibes quickly collide with technological paranoia as the crew debates “Mythos,” a god-like hacker AI from Anthropic, capable of effortlessly dismantling and repairing any operating system. Depending on which host you ask, this autonomous AI is either the ultimate catalyst for pushing humanity toward a telepathic, secret-free utopia or a privacy-destroying Skynet destined to replace every app on your smartphone. The futuristic musings do not stop there, pivoting from inner space to outer space with news of the Curiosity rover stumbling upon the nitrogen and sulfur-bearing organic building blocks of life in Mars’ Gale Crater. Back on Earth, the hosts geek out over the bio-hacking potential of mitochondrial transplants and freshly accessible peptides like MOTS-c, which act as tiny cellular batteries to potentially reverse disease and cellular degradation. Finally, with a little help from their resident AI assistant Ara, they unravel the ancient mystery of the Antikythera Mechanism—a 2,000-year-old, 26-gear Greek analog computer likely forged in Rhodes to track a 354-day lunar calendar. From alien hybrids to ancient gadgets and AI overlords, it is a whirlwind tour of everything past, present, and entirely out of this world. Enjoy!
In this explosive Nephilim Death Squad episode, Dr. Heather Lynn joins David Lee Corbo (The Raven) and Top Lobster for a no-holds-barred discussion on her new book The Anunnaki Revelation. From her academic journey and out-of-place artifacts like the Antikythera mechanism to the shocking funding behind the Ur excavation in Iraq (Gulf Sands Petroleum, Thyssen family, and Nazi-linked antiquities collectors), Dr. Lynn pulls back the curtain on Sumerian history, the real Anunnaki, and the “Sumerian Problem.”She breaks down the Anunnaki as possible climate refugees who enslaved the “black-headed people,” the Apkallu sages who whispered into kings' ears, poppy rituals, the wristwatch cuffs of the gods, and how these stories mirror biblical Nephilim, flood myths, and modern demonic encounters. Dr. Lynn shares her personal spiritual attacks after leaving the fence, her research into Baphomet, Pazuzu, Tracy Twyman's tragic story, MKUltra-adjacent abduction narratives, and why she now sees the alien phenomenon as deceptive demonic forces in a hot spiritual war.Topics include: Gilgamesh resurrection chamber emails, giants in Ohio mounds, energy control through currency, gold's ancient power, crop circles, and why discernment and “fruits” matter more than ever.Dr. Heather Lynn's website: https://www.DrHeatherLynn.comFollow her Substack and YouTube for full articles and presentations.New book: The Anunnaki Revelation – available now.

Some artifacts don't belong. Buried in sand. Hidden in shipwrecks. Locked in museum cases. Objects that shouldn't exist — at least not according to the official timeline. In this episode, we dive into the world of Out-of-Place Artifacts — the Baghdad Battery, the Antikythera Mechanism, the Iron Pillar of Delhi, the Sabu Disc, the Nimrud Lens, the Wedge of Aiud — relics that feel like glitches in history itself. Ancient batteries. Mechanical computers 2,000 years ahead of their time. Rust-proof iron. Precision stonework that modern tools struggle to replicate. Are these just misunderstood relics… Or evidence that something has been forgotten — or erased? Was there lost technology? A vanished civilization? Cycles of collapse we refuse to acknowledge? The deeper you look, the stranger it gets. History tells a story. But sometimes the artifacts tell a different one. Listen. Learn. Laugh. Question everything.

The fabled Library of Alexandria, one of the greatest centers of learning in the ancient world, was home to vast collections of scrolls from across the Mediterranean and beyond. Despite the wonders it contained, by late antiquity, the library's collections had disappeared, leaving questions about the depth of the ancient knowledge it once contained. But could such "lost knowledge" from the ancient past ever be recovered? This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we explore the enigma of lost information from antiquity, as well as several of the most curious surviving ancient technologies that point to the existence of remarkable knowledge that was harnessed in the ancient world. From the famous 'Antikithera Mechanism,' to mysteries that include "Greek Fire," Damascus Steel, Roman Concrete, and the enigmatic "Visby Lenses," we examine echoes of a technological past on Earth that history has largely forgotten... or has it?

We begin with the Antikythera Mechanism, an ancient device pulled from a Greek shipwreck that behaves like a ghost in the archaeological record. This intricate system of gears could predict eclipses, planetary movements, and cosmic cycles thousands of years before such knowledge should have existed. Some believe its creators were guided by lost knowledge, celestial beings, or even spirits of ancient astronomers who understood the universe far better than we do today. Was this device a tool… or a message from a forgotten intelligence? Next, we explore the haunting mystery of the Atacama Humanoid, a tiny six-inch body discovered in the Chilean desert. With an elongated skull, unnerving facial features, and bones aged far beyond its size, this being has sparked whispers of alien hybrids, interdimensional entities, and spirits bound to the land. Locals in the Atacama have long spoken of "star people" and desert guardians—was this discovery physical proof of those legends, or something far more unsettling? From the desert, we descend into darkness at Lovelock Cave in Nevada, where ancient legends tell of red-haired giants known as the Si-Te-Cah. Oversized tools, massive footprints, and burned remains suggest a violent end to these towering beings. Paranormal researchers believe the cave may be spiritually charged, possibly haunted by the restless spirits of giants who perished in fire, leaving behind echoes that still linger in the stone. The mystery deepens with the Voynich Manuscript, a centuries-old book written in an unrecognizable language and filled with illustrations that feel more dreamlike than earthly. Some psychics claim the manuscript carries residual energy—that it was created through automatic writing or channeled knowledge from nonhuman sources. Is it a spellbook, a coded grimoire, or a guide meant for minds not yet ready to understand it? We then turn to modern mystery with the Montauk Monster, a bizarre creature that washed ashore near a location infamous for secret experiments and paranormal lore. Was this an undiscovered cryptid, a biological experiment gone wrong, or something that slipped through from another realm? Its sudden disappearance only adds to the fear that we weren't meant to examine it too closely. Throughout the episode, Jen and Joe also touch on other eerie discoveries—the Baghdad Battery, impossible maps, ancient tools trapped in stone—each one whispering the same chilling message: history is not what we've been told.

The discussion delved into the Antikythera Mechanism, a 2,000-year-old Greek device with intricate gears predicting celestial events. It was discovered in a shipwreck near Antikythera Island and is considered a precursor to analog computers. The conversation also touched on Graham Hancock's theories about a lost civilization predating known history, referencing Göbekli Tepe in Turkey, dated to 12,000 years ago. The group speculated on the device's origins, suggesting it might have been created by an advanced, possibly extraterrestrial, civilization. They also discussed the implications of these findings for understanding ancient technology and civilization.
In this episode, I explore with you the mysteries of various "out-of-place artifacts," which is to say, (allegedly) old objects that would challenge conventional chronology and/or the mainstream view of the technical advancement of ancient cultures. Forgeries, hoaxes, and pranks abound. I tell you about some of them like the Michigan Relics or the Crystal Skulls; they were fake but still are good stories. A small number of objects still retain an element of mystery or invite us to rethink our views of ancient societies, like the Antikythera Mechanism, or we still don't exactly know how they were made, like the Shroud of Turin.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the 2000-year-old device which transformed our understanding of astronomy in ancient Greece. In 1900 a group of sponge divers found the wreck of a ship off the coast of the Greek island of Antikythera. Among the items salvaged was a corroded bronze object, the purpose of which was not at first clear. It turned out to be one of the most important discoveries in marine archaeology. Over time, researchers worked out that it was some kind of astronomical analogue computer, the only one to survive from this period as bronze objects were so often melted down for other uses. In recent decades, detailed examination of the Antikythera Mechanism using the latest scientific techniques indicates that it is a particularly intricate tool for showing the positions of planets, the sun and moon, with a complexity and precision not surpassed for over a thousand years.With Mike Edmunds Emeritus Professor of Astrophysics at Cardiff UniversityJo Marchant Science journalist and author of 'Decoding the Heavens' on the Antikythera MechanismAnd Liba Taub Professor Emerita in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Cambridge and Visiting Scholar at the Deutsches Museum, MunichProducer: Simon Tillotson In Our Time is a BBC Studios Audio ProductionReading list:Derek de Solla Price, Gears from the Greeks: The Antikythera Mechanism (American Philosophical Society Press, 1974)M.

For this week's bonus episode, Eleanor presents the final Dying Arts episode of the series, which is a timely one all about the critically endangered traditional crafts of Clock, Watch and Orrery Making!We start by chatting through what Orrery's are, and before long we're elbow-deep in discussions of how ancient civilizations like the Greeks and Mayans set about trying to understand the universe, the movements of planetary bodies, and how those concepts manifested themselves in early calendars and shadow clocks. This takes us through some curious concepts like Flat Earth theories, geocentrism, and significant historical figures like Copernicus, Galileo, and good ol' Tycho Brahe.Then though, we're into clocks and watches, chewing through everything from candle clocks and hourglasses to amazing devices like the Antikythera Mechanism, the Ancient Chinese 'Cosmic Engine,' and the kinds of water clocks used in the Middle Ages to portion the day up for various prayers. Via verge escapements, pendulums, and the race of the Longitude Prize, we soon find ourselves at the advent of electrified 'Railway Time' and mass production.Featuring bits of clock and watch folklore, a quick nod to Doctor Faustus, and appearances by the likes of Robert Hooke and our old pal Sosigenes of Alexandria, it's a slightly mind-bending ride. So, what are you waiting for - there isn't a moment to waste!(As for how long a moment is, well, we'll let you decide...)The Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays (Magic and Medicines about folk remedies and arcane spells, Three Ravens Bestiary about cryptids and mythical creatures, Dying Arts about endangered heritage crafts, and Something Wicked about folkloric true crime from across history) plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcast Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Our understanding the cosmos and our place in it has perplexed humanity for untold generations. The astronomers and geographers of the Hellenistic period were no different, looking to explain celestial phenomena and the nature of the Earth. Eratosthenes of Cyrene managed to calculate the circumference of the Earth to an astonishingly close value, Hipparchus did the same with the distance of the Moon, and Aristarchus of Samos proposed the earliest known model of heliocentrism 1800 years before Copernicus. The pinnacle of these theories came together was the incredible Antikythera Mechanism, the world's oldest analog computer, which will bring our series on science and technology to an end.

On this episode, we discuss the Antikythera Mechanism, a device found in a Roman shipwreck off the Greek Island of Antijythera. Retrieved with several other treasures, due to it's advanced state of petrification and other issues, it wasn't even looked at much after it was initially brought up. But over time, people have discovered this uncanny device that simulates the movement of the heavens created in the time of Before Common Era using a differential gear which otherwise doesn't show up for another 1300 years.

Chinese magic mirrors are these mind-boggling artifacts that have been around for centuries. Basically, they're made of bronze with intricate designs carved on one side. But here's where it gets wild – when you shine a light on the polished side, it reflects an image, but not just any image – it's like a hologram! This is just one example of an ancient artifact that keeps scientists surprised up to this day. You won't believe the mystery surrounding these ancient artifacts – it's like a real-life Indiana Jones adventure! Take the Antikythera Mechanism, for example – a mind-blowing ancient Greek device that seems to be a primitive computer, but nobody knows exactly how it was made or what it was used for. Then there's the Voynich Manuscript, a centuries-old book filled with strange illustrations and an undecipherable language that has puzzled experts for ages. These artifacts are like riddles wrapped in enigmas, leaving researchers scratching their heads and fueling endless speculation about our ancient past.

The 365 Days of Astronomy, the daily podcast of the International Year of Astronomy 2009
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDU3XX49quI Ralph Wilkins hosts. Damien Phillips, John Wildridge and Dustin Ruoff produce. From Feb 25, 2022. This is the machine made over a thousand years ahead of its time! Made in ancient Greece more than 2,000 years ago and lost in the Aegean Sea. It was so sophisticated that nothing like it would be invented or made for another 1,500 years. Found in a shipwreck by sponge divers, the Antikythera Mechanism has been compared to a computer and often seen as the most advanced technology the world had seen. Not just for it's time but more advanced than anything we'd see until the 1400s. Thanks to Jonathon Zellar for suggesting this incredible subject!

Extreme human antiquity? Forbidden archeologist and author Michael Cremo joins Brendan to discuss his decades-long and detailed research into the question: how old is humanity REALLY? Michael is an expert in the field of suppressed and ignored history, particularly as it pertains to the origins of humankind. Influenced by a long-running interest in the ancient spiritual teachings of India, Cremo shares a wealth of scientific archeological evidence that supports the Vedic notion that humanity is actually millions of years old. His work provides a huge uppercut to the Establishment's (unproved) theory of Darwinian evolution.

In the recent Indiana Jones: The Dial of Destiny movie, the Antikythera Mechanism is used for time travel but in reality it was actually more of a celestial calculator- to track and predict astronomical phenomena. It was discovered by a group of Greek sponge divers in 1901 as they explored the site of an ancient shipwreck that dated back to the first century BCE. Among the wreckage on the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, they found a complex arrangement of gears, wheels, and dials housed in a wooden case. It has astounded archaeologists, scientists and historians for years. It challenges our previous understanding of ancient technological capabilities and reveals the sophisticated level of scientific knowledge possessed by the ancient Greeks.Dan is joined by Professor Tony Freeth, a man who understandings this astonishing object better than most- he is a founding member of the Antikythera Mechanism Research Project and an Honorary Senior Research Associate at University College, London. He believes that the Antikythera Mechanism, may be an iteration of something designed by the great Greek inventor Archimedes, decades earlier...Discover the past on History Hit with ad-free original podcasts and documentaries released weekly presented by world renowned historians like Dan Snow, Suzannah Lipscomb, Lucy Worsley, Matt Lewis, Tristan Hughes and more.Get 50% off your first 3 months with code DANSNOW.

Champion competitive sculptor and ancient history researcher Rob Neyland (FreetheLioness.com) joins me to discuss his fascinating and ground-breaking research into the true nature and history of the famous Egyptian Sphinx. Rob is known for using his advanced skills as a sculptor to create a stunning miniature "re-carving" of the Sphinx with a very different head to the one we currently see. Listen in to the conversation and see some of the ways our Egyptology (and general history) books need to be re-written. You'll Learn: - Why 1,000 years of the Sphinx's history mysteriously went missing - What the Sphinx originally was - About the important Egyptian goddess Mehit - The significance of the oldest religious writings (the pyramid texts) in Egypt… - …and who the composer was - The subtle complaint encoded in the tomb of Unas - What Rob discovered by carving his own realistic miniature of the Sphinx - The KEY role of the moon (not the sun) in the ascent of the dying king's spirit ...and MUCH, much more. Note: there are a few sections where Rob shares slides and talks about them (see my BitChute channel), but you should be fine without them if you want to stick with audio. This is a conversation not to miss. Please subscribe, drop a review, and share this information widely. Special Guest: Rob Neyland.
Historiansplaining: A historian tells you why everything you know is wrong
A stunningly complex piece of mathematical craftsmanship, the world's earliest known analogue computer, and the so-called "scientific wonder of the ancient world" -- the Antikythera mechanism was discovered by chance in 1900, by Greek sponge divers who stumbled upon the wreckage of an ancient ship that foundered on its way from Greece to Rome. An object of bafflement, controversy, and misrepresentation for more than a century, thought to be an astrolabe or a planetarium, the Antikythera mechamism has only recently been proved by x-ray analysis to be a calendrical computing machine intended, for the purposes of astrology, to forecast heavenly events, especially eclipses, into the indefinite future. Suggested further reading: Alexander Jones, "A Portable Cosmos."

In the first episode of Nerd Legion to examine a feature film, Monte and DoA discuss their (mostly) fond impressions of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. They explain some of the historical details the movie build upon, including the Antikythera Mechanism, the life of Archimedes, the Lance of Longinus, and Nazi mysticism. While Dial of Destiny freely repeats many Indiana Jones tropes, including Nazi castles, supernatural artifacts, bringing melee weapons to gun fights, and loveable street urchins, fans of the series should find the nostalgia heartwarming and entertaining.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny was just released so you know we had to review it!

What is known as the world's oldest computer had been in plain view for two years before anyone realised what it ...
Another installment of Psycho Bob Says is here and Bobber asks, what is the Antikythera Mechanism? For more than 100 years, scholars have struggled with defining it, determining its origin and replicating it. After decades of study, it has been determined that the Antikythera mechanism is an Ancient Greek hand-powered mechanical model of the of the solar system. It was a mechanical computer of bronze gears that used ground-breaking technology to make astronomical predictions, by mechanizing astronomical cycles and theories.
Daniel and Katie explore the puzzle of the "world's first computer", and what it might have calculated.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Throughout the history of conventional archeology, artifacts have been found that seem to defy what we know about what we know.

In the year 1900, a crew of sponge divers was looking for sponges off the coast of the Greek island Antikythera. While they were searching, they found the remains of an ancient shipwreck. The wreck contained over 30 marble statues, pieces of glasswork, and one corroded metal object that no one could identify. 75 years later, using new technology, they discovered what that hunk of metal was designed for.
