Podcasts about egyptological

First, there was the March 15 conference revealing stunning discoveries that may lie beneath the Khafre pyramid... But there was also a follow-up conference March 16 that was hardly reported. So I got a hold of the Italian transcript and I asked ChatGPT to translate, outline, and summarize the March 16, 2025 press conference (centered on new radar and archaeological findings at the Giza Plateau):

History Of Egypt, Chaldæa, Syria, Babylonia, and Assyria is the masterwork of one of the fathers of modern egyptology. This work, in twelve volumes, was translated from the French original, “Histoire ancienne des peuples de l'Orient classique” and published in 1903-1904. Maspero was a largely self-taught master of hieroglyphic translation. In November 1880, he was placed at the head of a French archeological mission, which developed later into the Institut Français d'Archéologie Orientale. Maspero then succeeded Mariette as director-general of excavations and of the antiquities of Egypt.“Aware that his reputation was then more as a linguist than an archaeologist, Maspero's first work in the post was to build on Mariette's achievements at Saqqara. He expanded their scope from the early Old Kingdom to the later, with particular interest in tombs with long and complete hieroglyphic inscriptions that could help illustrate the development of the Egyptian language. Selecting five later Old Kingdom tombs, he was successful in that aim, finding over 4000 lines of hieroglyphics which were then sketched and photographed.“As an aspect of his attempt to curtail the rampant illegal export of Egyptian antiquities by tourists, collectors and agents for the major European and American museums, Maspero arrested the Abd al-Russul brothers from the notorious treasure-hunting village of Gorna, who confessed under torture to having found the great cache of royal mummies at Deir el-Bahri in July 1881. The cache was moved to Cairo as soon as possible to keep it safe from robbers.“In 1886 he resumed work begun by Mariette to uncover the Sphinx, removing more than 65 feet of sand and seeking tombs below it (which he did not find, but have later been found but not opened).”Maspero went on to sponsor and expand the system of national museums and presided over the growing collection of the Bulak Museum. Maspero gave a 17 year old Howard Carter his first Egyptological job – and it was he who recommended Carter to Lord Carnarvon. Carter and Carnarvon would go on to discover the tomb of King Tutankhaman.In the first volume of this master work, Maspero tackles the importance of the Nile, the pantheon of Egyptian gods, and the legendary history of Egyptian gods.

Were the ancient engineers of Egypt using the earth's geomagnetic gravity to harness energy through the pyramids? Did inventor Nikola Tesla re-discover some of this ancient technology and use it to power his Wardenclyffe Tower in the early 1900s? In this exclusive interview I am joined by engineer Christopher Dunn, who has authored several ground breaking books that have sent shockwaves throughout the Egyptological world going back to the late 90s such as The Giza Power Plant, Lost Technologies of Ancient Egypt and his newest Giza: the Tesla Connection. In this episode, Chris will unveil what he believes to be the true function and purpose of the Great Pyramid of Giza. GET CHRIS' BOOK HERE JOIN US FOR ONE OF OUR 2024 ADVENTURE TOURS

EPISODE 78 | In this episode Kara and Jordan talk with archaeobotanist and Assistant Professor of Archaeology Claire Malleson (American University in Beirut) about agriculture in ancient Egypt. What can archaeologists learn about the way ancient Egyptians lived from botanical remains? What are the traditional narratives about agriculture in ancient Egypt and how is our understanding of it changing? How was the profession of farming seen in ancient Egypt? Scorpion macehead (Ashmolean Museum) The Satire of the Trades“Tiger nut” - Cyperus esculentus and Cyperus rotundusAbout Professor Claire MallesonAfter a short career in contemporary dance as a designer and technical manager, Claire started Egyptological studies at the University of Liverpool in 2002, and completed her PhD there in 2012 (published in 2019 by AUC Press).

Hey everybody! Episode 118 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Larry Pahl. Larry was introduced to me by a mutual friend who is a fan of Larry's work. As someone who is deeply interested in ancient cultures, esoteric wisdom, and the interconnectedness of life and cultures, the pyramids of Giza have fascinated me since childhood. Therefore Larry was a wonderful guest to bring on as all of these are his specialty. He has been studying the pyramids of Giza for decades and has made a number of discoveries. I think he does a beautiful job at bridging both the more rational scientific views as well as bringing in the often forgotten theological views. This was a fascinating conversation and I hope to do a part two as a follow up and go deeper into his findings. As always, to support this podcast, get early access to shows, bonus material, and Q&As, check out my Patreon page below. Enjoy!"Larry has been studying the Egyptian pyramids for decades. He has made presentations of his discoveries at major Egyptological conferences. He directs our work in the field and maintains contact with our associates around the world. He has led 10 tours to Egypt and outfitted several research expeditions which have yielded major discoveries including the Holy Shaft and Circle, the origin of the Fibonacci Spiral that goes through the center of 4 Giza pyramids, the complete correlation of Orion stars on Egyptian soil, the Hemiunu Template, and the deciphering of pavement markings around Giza.”To learn more about or contact Larry, visit his websites at: https://larrypahl.com & https://www.greatpyramid.orgIf you enjoy the show, it would be a big help if you could share it with your own audiences via social media or word of mouth.

David Elkington, academic and historian is expert in all things biblical and Egyptological, with a specialization in the resonance patterns at ancient holy sites.  I'm very excited to discuss the role sacred sound played in ancient times at these ancient sites as well as what ancient humanity knew about using sacred sound.  We'll delve into where Christianity fit into this ancient scheme, if they did, and if modern music can compare to the old in this regard.  Finally, we'll uncover the heroine in these places and her role in the story and how wisdom fits into the overall scheme.

Westing the Nile A Tribute to Carmen Boulter Tonight, we are celebrating the life and seminal research of a dear, departed colleague and friend– Dr. Carmen Boulter. Carman was a feminist, an educator, a first-rate scholar … but most of all, a true Egyptological pioneer; even in the face of strong academic opposition, Dr. Boulter held to her evidence-based beliefs — founded on decades of personal research in the musty archives of the Cairo Museum, and over 34 on-site explorations of the ancient sites themselves — that the rich pageantry and mythology of ancient Egypt was but a pale echo of far more distant, far more extraordinary “entire missing chapters” of the larger human story [...]

In this episode, the Seven Ages team catches up for a bit of Egyptological discussion in our introduction portion of the show, before shifting our attention over to Jason Pentrail and Chase Pipes of the Chasing History Youtube channel, who continue their journey to mound-building cultural sites throughout the Southeastern United States. At their most recent stop, the team toured the stunning Mississippian site of Moundville, Alabama. Jason and Chase are joined by friend and colleague Lash LaRoux as they sit down to speak with Faculty Curator Dr. Elliot Blair.  Dr. Elliott Blair is an anthropological archaeologist whose research focuses on the early colonial and Late Mississippian periods in the American Southeast. Much of his research focuses on population aggregation and identity at Mission Santa Catalina de Guale, a 16th and 17th-century Spanish mission located on St. Catherine's Island, Georgia. Drawing upon practice-based approaches to the archaeology of colonialism and exploring identity through situated learning theory, he examines the persistence of social identities as diverse populations formed new communities under the pressures of missionization. In his work, he uses social network analysis to explore the structure of past social relationships at multiple scales. We are also joined by Moundville Education and Outreach Coordinator Lindsey Gordon who shares all of Moundville's outstanding programs and cultural relationships with us.  Twitter  Instagram  Facebook   Seven Ages Official Site  Seven Ages Patreon  Seven Ages YouTube  Chasing History  Moundville Archaeological Park  Our Sponsor:  The Smokey Mountain Relic Room   

New research and evidence that the Sphinx is thousands of years older than previously thoughtContrasts what Egyptologists claim about the Sphinx with historical accounts and new research including reanalysis of seismic studies and updates to Schoch's water weathering research and Bauval's Orion Correlation TheoryExamines how the Sphinx is contemporaneous with Göbekli Tepe, aligned with the constellation Leo, and was recarved during the Old Kingdom era of EgyptReveals that the Sphinx was built during the actual historical Golden Age of ancient Egypt, the period known in legend as Zep TepiNo other monument in the world evokes mystery like the Great Sphinx of Giza. It has survived the harsh climate of Egypt for thousands of years and will remain long after our own civilization is gone. According to orthodox Egyptology, the Sphinx was built around 2500 BCE as a memorial to the pharaoh Khafre. Yet this “fact” has scant to no supportive evidence. When was the Sphinx really built and, most importantly, why?In this provocative collaboration from two Egyptology outsiders, Robert M. Schoch, Ph.D., and Robert Bauval combine their decades of research to show how the Sphinx is thousands of years older than the conventional Egyptological timeline and was built by a long forgotten pre-Pharaonic civilization. They examine the known history of the Sphinx, contrasting what Egyptologists claim with prominent historical accounts and new research, including updates to Schoch's geological water weathering research and reanalysis of seismic studies. Building on Bauval's Orion Correlation Theory, they investigate the archaeoastronomical alignments of the monuments of the Giza Plateau and reveal how the pyramids and Sphinx were built to align with the constellations of Orion and Leo. Analyzing the evidence for a significantly older construction phase at Giza and the restoration and recarving of the Sphinx during the Old Kingdom era, they assert that the Sphinx was first built by an advanced pre-Pharaonic civilization that existed circa 12,000 years ago on the Giza Plateau, contemporaneous with the sophisticated Göbekli Tepe complex. The authors examine how the monuments at Giza memorialize Zep Tepi, the Golden Age of legend shown here to be an actual historical time period from roughly 10,500 BCE through 9700 BCE.Moving us closer to an understanding of the true age and purpose of the Great Sphinx, Schoch and Bauval provide evidence of an early high civilization witnessed by the Great Sphinx before the end of the last ice age.Robert M. Schoch, Ph.D., a tenured faculty member at Boston University, earned his doctorate in geology and geophysics at Yale University in 1983. Known for his research on ancient civilizations, he is the author of numerous books, including Origins of the Sphinx. Catherine Ulissey, a 20-year ballet and Broadway dance veteran, earned her B.A. from Emerson College in 2002. Married to Dr. Schoch in 2010, she enjoys contributing to his research while teaching her art, formerly for Harvard University's dance program and more recently for Wellesley College.Egyptian-born Robert Bauval began studying Egyptology in 1983. His first book, The Orion Mystery, was published in 1994, becoming a number-one bestseller translated into more than 25 languages. His research has been featured in documentaries throughout the world. He lives in Torremolinos, Spain. Thomas Brophy, Ph.D., is an astrophysicist who has worked with NASA, including as a member of the Voyager II spacecraft instrument teams. The author of several books, including The Origin Map, and numerous published articles in scientific journals, he lives in Encinitas, California.

I share some more stunning insights into the Egyptological aspects of the Book of Abraham showing the apologists are wrong on so many counts and in so many ways.

In this week's episode Kara and Jordan interview Dr. Eric Wells of Eric's Guide to Ancient Egypt fame. We address the elephant in the room-- whether of not Eric has plans to restart his podcast, his dissertation research on personal piety, and get into some Egyptological debates.  -- Dr. Eric Wells (he/him) received his PhD from UCLA in Egyptology and is currently an adjunct professor at LMU in the Department of Classics and Archaeology. He is also a chief administrative officer at UCLA for the Life Sciences Core Education Department and the Center for Education Innovation and Learning in the Sciences.

Are Egyptologists Lying? Unquestionable Part 1 On YouTube: https://youtu.be/ViX5LHNUsi0 Are Egyptologists lying? So often the independent and alternative crowd lashes out at the Egyptological establishment: "You're lying! You're withholding evidence!" Is that so? What do you think? What is your evidence? Calvin Smith of the Unquestionable Podcast recently interviewed American Institute for Pyramid Research Director Larry Pahl. Smith sent over the zoom video recorded during the podcast, and we will be sharing parts of that podcast here. This is part 1 of the podcast dealing with the question are Egyptologists lying?

The Bent Pyramid, according to the Egyptological mainstream is a flop... a pyramid started with a purpose that had to be changed twice because of sinking foundations and structural struggles. But there are those who insist that the Egyptians got the Bent Pyramid to us just the way they wanted to... Its bifurcated structure may be unusual, but it contains a message that AIP Director Larry Pahl examines in this video. profound Pahl claims there are geometric and mystical connections to the Great Pyramid and Giza. Truly secrets from the ancient past are trying to speak to us today. Are we listening?

In just over a week, Jews the world over will recount the biblical story of the exodus from Egypt and celebrate ancient Israel’s journey from slavery to freedom. But is there any proof for the Bible’s account of the events surrounding the exodus? Did the exodus really happen? The answer of most contemporary academic Bible scholars is “no.” Pointing to the lack of any corroborating written records and the absence of archaeological evidence, these scholars assert that there is simply no proof for the scriptural account. However, in his 2015 Mosaic essay, “Was There an Exodus?,” rabbi and academic Bible scholar Joshua Berman reviews the data and comes to a very different conclusion. His piece reveals Egyptological and scriptural sources that indicate the author and audience of the Book of Exodus possessed detailed knowledge of Egypt, and he argues that this evidence is far too salient to be ignored. In this pre-Passover podcast, Rabbi Dr. Berman joins Jonathan Silver to make the case for the historicity of the exodus. They discuss why scholars began to doubt the biblical account, the comparative evidence that points to the historical reality of the exodus, and how a greater understanding of what history meant in antiquity can help us moderns become better readers of ancient texts. Musical selections in this podcast are drawn from the Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, op. 31a, composed by Paul Ben-Haim and performed by the ARC Ensemble.

From the desert oases to the city of Alexandria, the Faiyum to the Pyramids, you can now explore a fully-realised version of ancient Egypt.But how does the game play, and is it historical enough? Today I explore some of the history behind it, and what the game does right.Music by Keith Zizza www.keithzizza.comMusic by Brandon and Derek Fiechter https://dbfiechter.bandcamp.com/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

No other monument in the world evokes mystery like the Great Sphinx of Giza. It has survived the harsh climate of Egypt for thousands of years and will remain long after our own civilization is gone. According to orthodox Egyptology, the Sphinx was built around 2500 BCE as a memorial to the pharaoh Khafre. Yet this “fact” has scant to no supportive evidence. When was the Sphinx really built and, most importantly, why?In this provocative collaboration from two Egyptology outsiders, Robert M. Schoch, Ph.D., and Robert Bauval combine their decades of research to show how the Sphinx is thousands of years older than the conventional Egyptological timeline and was built by a long forgotten pre-Pharaonic civilization. They examine the known history of the Sphinx, contrasting what Egyptologists claim with prominent historical accounts and new research, including updates to Schoch’s geological water weathering research and reanalysis of seismic studies. Building on Bauval’s Orion Correlation Theory, they investigate the archaeoastronomical alignments of the monuments of the Giza Plateau and reveal how the pyramids and Sphinx were built to align with the constellations of Orion and Leo.The authors examine how the monuments at Giza memorialize Zep Tepi, the Golden Age of legend shown here to be an actual historical time period from roughly 10,500 BCE through 9700 BCE. Moving us closer to an understanding of the true age and purpose of the Great Sphinx, Schoch and Bauval provide evidence of an early high civilization witnessed by the Great Sphinx before the end of the last ice age.
