Picture this: a remote coral atoll in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Brutal heat. Cadaver dogs. Archaeologists on their knees sifting through debris, because on this island, coral looks almost identical to bone. And one journalist sitting quietly with her notebook, watching it all unfold — asking the question everyone there is trying to answer: what really happened to Amelia Earhart? That journalist is our guest today. In this episode of Legendary Leaders, host Cathleen O'Sullivan is joined by Rachel Hartigan, who spent 12 years at National Geographic as a writer, reporter and editor, covering everything from the genetics of persimmon trees to the long road to women's suffrage. Before that, she edited the Washington Post's Book World section. She is not the swashbuckling type who dives into underwater pyramids in Sudan. But she has done something arguably harder: she spent years going deep, really deep, into one of history's most enduring mysteries, returning to that Pacific Island not once, but twice. The result is her debut book, Lost: Amelia Earhart's Three Mysterious Deaths and One Extraordinary Life. Rachel and Cathleen explore all three main theories of what happened to Earhart: did she crash into the ocean, die as a castaway on a remote island, or end up in Japanese custody? But what grabbed Cathleen most when she started reading Rachel's book wasn't the mystery. It was the woman herself. Earhart was someone who refused to over explain herself, who did bold and unconventional things simply because they felt right - not to make a point, not to be a rebel, but because her inner compass said so. In an era when women were expected to fit a very particular mould, she didn't. And there is a lesson in that which feels incredibly alive right now. They also talk about what it actually means to be an introvert who built a career on asking strangers the hardest questions. Rachel still dreads picking up the phone before a difficult call and makes it anyway. She separates her anxiety from her ability, which is honestly one of the cleanest pieces of self-awareness you'll hear in a long time. They talk about leaving National Geographic after 12 years, a place that wasn't just a job but a full identity, in the middle of grief, exhaustion and a book deadline. And they talk about what the people still searching for Earhart, some of them obsessive, some willing to upend their entire lives to sail to a remote island, can teach us about the very human need to find answers. Rachel Hartigan is someone who can explain dolphin brains and deep ocean mysteries and make both feel completely alive. We think you're going to love this one.   Episode timeline: 00:01:09 Introducing Rachel Hartigan and the Earhart mystery 00:05:42 Rachel's early life, introversion and career challenges 00:14:49 Managing anxiety, building strategies and proving reliability 00:22:54 Leaving National Geographic: identity and decision 00:26:00 Balancing book writing with full time work 00:34:25 Media trust, bias and information verification 00:44:39 Three competing theories of Earhart's disappearance 00:51:09 Earhart's early adventures and determination 00:56:23 Family influences and personal independence 00:59:04 Authenticity vs rebel image and misconceptions 01:06:33 Rachel's adventures and expedition experiences 01:10:06 Challenges, empathy and family impact Key takeaways: Your anxiety and your ability are two different things: Rachel still dreads making a hard phone call before every single one and makes it anyway. Separating the nervous feeling from the actual skill is what lets her keep doing work that scares her. Not explaining yourself is a form of power: Earhart never justified her choices with a cause or a point to prove. She did things for the fun of it. Rachel calls this the lesson that has stuck with her the longest, and the one women still find hardest to claim. Reliability opens doors you didn't apply for: Rachel built a reputation as someone who could do anything thrown at her, long stories, short stories, dense science, tricky edits. That reputation, not a special qualification, is why she was asked to join the expedition that became her book. Sometimes you have to choose the thing that isn't the smart financial decision: Leaving a 12-year identity in the middle of grief, exhaustion and a deadline wasn't strategic. It was necessary. Rachel calls it one of the hardest and most important choices she's made. Empathy for the obsessive searcher is empathy for the human need to know: People still searching for Earhart nearly 90 years on aren't irrational. Rachel argues the urge to find an answer, however unlikely the odds, is one of the most human impulses there is.   Connect with Rachel Hartigan: Website: https://rachelhartiganauthor.com Book: Lost, available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Bookshop.org and at rachelhartiganauthor.com   Connect with Cathleen O'Sullivan:  Business: https://cathleenosullivan.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cathleen-osullivan/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/legendary_leaders_cathleenos/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LegendaryLeaderswithCathleenOS FOLLOW LEGENDARY LEADERS ON APPLE, SPOTIFY OR WHEREVER YOU LISTEN TO YOUR PODCASTS.

Long before Instagram, Facebook, or X, people were posting messages on walls. From the side streets of Pompeii to the bathroom stall of a modern gas station, humans have always left their mark - messages etched, carved, inscribed, even spray-painted- political slogans, declarations of love, crude jokes, warnings, as well as secret encoded symbols and messages among persecuted Christians. Graffiti is more than markings on a wall; it is a window into the human soul. Archaeologists study these ancient scratches because they reveal what people valued, feared, worshiped, and hoped for. Beneath the surface, there is always a deeper story being told. The same is true of us. Every word, every action, every conversation leaves a mark on the world around us. We are constantly writing a message with our lives. The question is not whether you're leaving a mark. The question is: what message are you leaving behind? As followers of Jesus, may we carry the marks of Christ in such a way that those who pass by catch a glimpse of Him - outward expression of an inward reality.  Grace in our life is God's story being etched upon us; we are God's graffiti to the world! The transformation He has made in our lives should be read, should be seen, should be noticed - it should cause someone to stop and look. 2 Corinthians 3:2-3: "You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone. You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts."

Imagine divers plunging into the Mediterranean and finding the colossal remains of the Lighthouse of Alexandria—one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. For centuries, this beacon guided sailors safely into Egypt's harbors, its light shining like a star on Earth. But earthquakes toppled it long ago, burying its stones and statues beneath the waves. Now, archaeologists say they've uncovered these massive blocks, intricate carvings, and even pieces of statues that once guarded the legendary tower. This isn't just rubble—it's a direct link to the brilliance of ancient engineers, a chance to see how one of history's greatest structures was built and why it fell. Learn more about your ad choices.

THEY BURIED PEOPLE INSIDE WALLS. No, this isn't the plot of a horror movie. Archaeologists have discovered skeletons encased within famous landmarks and ancient structures around the world. Why?  What if one forgotten practice unlocks some of the most mysterious passages in the Bible? What do these seemingly unrelated things have in common?The Passover"Behold, I stand at the door and knock..." (Revelation 3:20)The London BridgeThe Stone of Scone used in British coronationsWedding thresholdsShip christeningsRed carpetsThe answer is something called The Threshold Covenant—an ancient practice so widespread that once you see it, you'll never read Scripture the same way again. On this episode of the Cross Files Podcast, Jennifer Parks of the Gritty Ladies Book Club joins us to explore the shocking connections hidden in plain sight.  In this episode, you'll discover:The REAL meaning of Revelation 3:20—and why it's probably NOT what you were taught in Sunday school.Why ancient cultures around the world buried living humans beneath foundations to "protect" buildings.Why the Passover wasn't bizarre in its original context—it was understood by everyone living in the ancient world.The chilling connection between Psalm 91 and threshold language that gave us goosebumps.The disturbing reality of human depravity... and why the grace of God is the ONLY difference between us and the darkest people who have ever lived.David Berkowitz ("Son of Sam"): Is his prison conversion genuine? One pastor spent over 100 hours with him behind bars.Jacob's Ladder, the Stone of Scone, and why Britain's monarchy still incorporates ancient symbolism today. And stay until the very end...Jennifer shares a deeply moving vision that had us fighting back tears. It is a powerful reminder that no matter how dark the world becomes, God's mercy still reaches people at the threshold. Have you ever heard of the Threshold Covenant before?

​Archaeologists recently uncovered a mysterious "anomaly" beneath the Western Cemetery near Egypt's Great Pyramid of Giza. Using ground-penetrating radar and electrical resistivity tomography, they identified two underground structures: a shallow L-shaped feature and a deeper, larger one. Both structures appear man-made due to their distinct shapes and densities differing from the surrounding soil. Researchers speculate that the shallow feature might have served as an entrance to the deeper structure, possibly indicating the presence of a tomb. Excavations are planned to further investigate these intriguing findings. ​ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Johnny Mac shares five good news stories: In the Netherlands, engineer Thomas built a motion-sensing car with a water-tank seat for his goldfish Blub, who drove 40 feet 3.46 inches in one minute to set a world record; Thomas hopes the technology can be useful for mobility issues. In New York, 270 people in Mario costumes gathered at a GameStop on March 10 to celebrate Mario's holiday and beat the prior record of 230 set in China in 2010. In England, an ancient Phoenician coin used as bus fare in Leeds—about 2,100 years old and showing the god Melqart—was donated to Leeds Museum and Galleries. Archaeologists found a 1,600-year-old Egyptian mummy buried with a papyrus Iliad fragment.

In Eastern Oregon’s John Day, a 160-year-old building holds one of the biggest collections of traditional Chinese medicine in the world. Kam Wah Chung and Company, once part of a thriving Chinatown, was owned and operated by Lung On and Ing Hay for over half a century. It was a home, a general store, a community center and a medical clinic where Ing Hay served as a beloved doctor to residents across the region. His practice included herbal remedies, non-invasive treatments, essential women’s healthcare and more.   Archaeologists and historians are continuing to deepen our understanding of the legacy of Kam Wah Chung and traditional Chinese medicine in Eastern Oregon. We join them to learn more about Ing Hay’s important contributions to rural communities in John Day and beyond, as part of our special series in collaboration with OPB’s “Oregon Experience,” the Southern Oregon University Laboratory of Anthropology, and Jefferson Public Radio about unearthing Oregon history.

Today the show asks the question: Does CRM need universities to train the next generation of archaeologists? While we've talked about the deficiencies in university training for archaeologists, a new movement among CRM companies and industry leaders is trying to figure out if the industry can bypass universities and just provide training all on its own. Even though this show is hosted by two professors, our responses to this idea might shock you.

Matthew Shindell explores how ancient civilizations interpreted Mars to understand their connection to the cosmos. He explains that archaeologists studying the Mayan Dresden Codex identified a "Mars beast" representing the planet's opposition and retrograde motion. In ancient China, astronomy served as a political tool, where planetary patterns helped hold rulers accountable for maintaining heavenly harmony. Shindell highlights Mesopotamian omen-tracking as the foundational "birth of science" due to their meticulous record-keeping and predictive mathematics. Finally, he discusses how Greek philosophers like Aristotle and Ptolemy struggled to reconcile Mars's erratic behavior with their earth-centered models. (1/4)june 1954

The Indigenous Paleolithic of the Western Hemisphere is a reclaimed history of the deep past of Indigenous people in North and South America during the Paleolithic. Paulette F. C. Steeves mines evidence from archaeology sites and Paleolithic environments, landscapes, and mammalian and human migrations to make the case that people have been in the Western Hemisphere not only just prior to Clovis sites (10,200 years ago) but for more than 60,000 years, and likely more than 100,000 years.Steeves discusses the political history of American anthropology to focus on why pre-Clovis sites have been dismissed by the field for nearly a century. She explores supporting evidence from genetics and linguistic anthropology regarding First Peoples and time frames of early migrations. Additionally, she highlights the work and struggles faced by a small yet vibrant group of American and European archaeologists who have excavated and reported on numerous pre-Clovis archaeology sites.In this first book on Paleolithic archaeology of the Americas written from an Indigenous perspective, The Indigenous Paleolithic of the Western Hemisphere includes Indigenous oral traditions, archaeological evidence, and a critical and decolonizing discussion of the development of archaeology in the Americas.Paulette Steeves (Cree-Métis) is a professor of sociology and Canada Research Chair Tier II Indigenous History, Healing, and Reconciliation at Algoma University. She is also an adjunct faculty at Mount Allison University. She is the author of The Indigenous Paleolithic of the Western Hemisphere (Nebraska, 2021).https://paulettesteeves22.wixsite.com/drpaulettesteeveshttps://www.tipdba.ca/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Graham Hancock recently joined Randall Carlson for a discussion where he made four statements that I found very very interesting, which of course, are causing mainstream archaeologists to collectively lose their minds! Graham states that the story we've been told about our past does not explain a vast number of anomalies that need explanation. Therefore, I share a couple examples of such ancient anomalies that the mainstream history narrative ignores. Graham goes on to say that beneath the politically correct veneer of the academics, that they actually despise indigenous traditions. Therefore, I share two fascinating legends of local native cultures that may point to some larger shocking truths.Graham then explains how the mainstream academics dislike Plato's Atlantis tale, not only because it throws a monkey wrench into their proposed history timeline, but because Plato ties Atlantis to the idea of a world wide cataclysmic flood. Therefore, I share several of these flood legends from around the world that all include many of the same striking details. JOIN ME ON A TOUR

In the Surtshellir lava cave of Iceland, archaeologists have uncovered evidence of a mysterious and frightening belief system. This vast cave system, located under a lava field created by a massive eruption around 900 AD, contains a large man-made wall and enormous piles of unburnt animal bones located deep in the pitch black. Further into the cave, a stone boat outline was discovered containing specific ritual offerings associated with fire, such as jasper fire-starters, burnt bones, and glass. Researchers believe these offerings were intended to placate a fire giant or being, potentially Surtr, who was thought to dwell within the lava field. Following Iceland's official conversion to Christianity in 1000 AD, the ritual practice eventually ceased, marked by a final offering of a metal cross left in the stone boat as a symbolic farewell to the old gods. The connection between the landscape and mythology is further illustrated by a saga poem describing a mountain giant with glowing eyes inside a cave. This poem uses vivid volcanic imagery to depict the end of a way of life, representing the transition as the "clay folk" or giants are driven underground by the arrival of a new Christian world order. 6/81600

Allan Sturm is an expert photo analyst—specifically, of images of the moon. Allan's incredible visual data has drawn the attention of servicemen, professionals in photography, and space enthusiasts alike because his military-level photo analysis techniques have revealed strange shapes and structures in aerial photos of the moon. Past conversations on Metaphysical in Parts 1 and 2 dived into Allan's background and talked about how to evaluate moon images for yourself. But this episode will be unique. For the first fifteen minutes or so, Allan shows a live photo breakdown where he points out specific areas of interest in a photo and shows us the level of detail you can get into when viewing moon images. After that, dive into Rob and John's live reactions, some questions they have for Allan, and finally, a discussion on whether these are intelligently designed structures or not—including one image that John's team remote viewed. Are these structures on the moon millions of years old? Join investigative researcher Rob Counts and professional remote viewer John Vivanco for a Metaphysical show that's out of this world.

What if the answers you've been searching for are buried inside your own story? In this episode of Someone Gets Me, Dianne A. Allen sits down with Carrie KC West to explore the practice of becoming your own archaeologist — digging into your past, your patterns, and your inherited belief systems to uncover who you truly are. Carrie shares her extraordinary origin story: a traumatic childhood, the devastating loss of her father, rock bottom, and the unexpected epiphany in film school that taught her she could rewrite her own life like a script. Together, Dianne and Carrie unpack why empaths struggle to separate their emotions from others', how pre-verbal beliefs get locked in before age two, and why crises and challenges are actually the universe asking for your attention. They also explore the power of awareness, the freedom that comes from mapping your family's story, and what it means to stop living someone else's narrative.   If you've ever wondered why certain patterns keep showing up in your life — in relationships, money, belonging, or self-worth — this conversation will give you the tools to finally go looking.   Watch the Someone Gets Me podcast — How to Be Your Own Archaeologist   Did you enjoy this episode?
