Prendi parte alla nostra Membership per supportare il nostro progetto Missione Cultura e diventare mecenate di Geopop: https://geopop.it/Muh6X I Maya erano una civiltà precolombiana in Mesoamerica, fiorita intorno al 2000 a.c., conosciuta per l'arte, l'architettura, la scrittura, la matematica e l'astronomia. Vivevano in un'area molto vasta che comprendeva l'attuale Messico meridionale, il Guatemala e alcune parti di El Salvador e Honduras. A differenza degli Aztechi, non amavano andare in battaglia: infatti, se avevano una rivalità con qualche città vicina, la risolvevano con un gioco simile al calcio. Ma chi erano esattamente? Dove vivevano? E Il loro calendario prevedeva davvero la fine del mondo? In questo episodio della nuova serie “Antichi Popoli”, vi racconteremo la storia dei Maya e scopriremo com'era la loro cultura, società, religione e perché sono scomparsi.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Shoot us a text!Today marks the 55th anniversary of the Chicano Moratorium March, a movement of Chicano anti-war activists that built a broad-based coalition of Mexican-American groups to organize opposition to the Vietnam War. Led by activists from local colleges and members of the Brown Berets, a group with roots in the high school student movement that staged walkouts in 1968, the coalition peaked with an August 29, 1970 march in East Los Angeles that drew 30,000 demonstrators. The march was described by scholar Lorena Oropeza as "one of the largest assemblages of Mexican Americans ever." It was the largest anti-war action taken by any single ethnic group in the USA. It was second in size only to the massive U.S. immigration reform protests of 2006.  Your Hosts:Kurly Tlapoyawa is an archaeologist, ethnohistorian, and filmmaker.

For thousands of years, cultures rose and disappeared in Mesoamerica. In tonight's episode, we explore Maya and Aztec mythological tales, and I tell you about the sources we have about their legends, their cosmology, and cultural traits that existed across the entire Mesoamerica, like ball games, advanced astronomical knowledge, and the cult of a feathered serpent (Kukulkan for the Maya, Quetzalcoatl for the Aztecs...). We also explore the Aztec pantheon, and I tell you about Huitzilopochtli, Tlaloc, and Tezcatlipoca. Under surprising forms, this heritage can sometimes resurface in contemporary culture, for example with the cult of Santa Muerte. Welcome to Lights Out Library Join me for a sleepy adventure tonight.

Tlakatekatl argues that ICE's claims of targeting only criminals are false and that the agency is engaging in what amounts to kidnapping. Tlakatekatl also connects the rise of authoritarianism and anti-immigrant sentiment to the mainstream media's failure to hold power accountable. He concludes by exploring psychological and sociological theories, such as the Authoritarian Personality and Social Dominance Theory, to understand the rise of authoritarian figures that can contribute to the appeal of fascism.

Maru Molina lives in El Salvador, living somewhat of a nomadic lifestyle. She has a weekly pop-up event called Cocina de Jardin, where the events are held in both wild and urban settings around the country. Maru's work on the project over the past five years is very impactful. I believe it is having an impact. She has been holding weekly events that connect consumers with healthy, nutritious food grown by local producers, often right on the farms. They are physically seeing, tasting understanding where their food comes from. She recently expanded the concept with Finca Sylvestris, an experimental farm on the slopes between two volcanoes, just outside of San Salvador. Aside of giving her new altitude ingredients to work with, she also has a formal space for Cocina de Jardín events, which occur there twice a month. It's given her an entire new understanding of her work.It is a very pivotal moment in the history of El Salvador. Even though there are serious concerns in the way the government has behaved itself, the country has opened up wildly and people are genuinely optimistic. I saw it the last time I was there I saw it. I felt it. It was as if a heavy burden had been lifted. As Maru and I discuss, this moment is an opportunity to build something better and lasting because it might not come again. --Host: Nicholas Gill ( https://www.instagram.com/nicholasgill2 ) Co-host: Juliana Duque ( https://www.instagram.com/juliduk/)Produced by Nicholas Gill & Juliana DuqueRecording & Editing by New Worlder https://www.newworlder.comEmail: thenewworlder@gmail.comRead more at New Worlder: https://www.newworlder.com

What if near-death experiences didn't begin in the modern age — but were happening thousands of years ago across the world? In this fascinating episode, Jim Harold is joined by Dr. Gregory Shushan, the leading expert on near-death experiences in ancient civilizations. Drawing on texts from ancient Egypt, India, China, Mesoamerica, and beyond, Dr. Shushan reveals striking similarities between modern NDEs and accounts recorded centuries — even millennia — ago. Together, they explore what these ancient experiences might tell us about the origins of afterlife beliefs, how different cultures interpreted “coming back from the dead,” and why these timeless stories challenge long-held assumptions about death and consciousness. Whether you're a seasoned explorer of the paranormal or new to the subject, this conversation offers profound insights into one of humanity's greatest mysteries.

Shoot us a text!We here at Tales From Aztlantis would like to issue the following public service announcement: PLEASE DO NOT rely on social media posts as your sole source of historical and archaeological information. This should not be a controversial statement. Yet every day, social media feeds are inundated with well-meaning individuals uncritically sharing and reposting pseudohistory without bothering to check the sources or seek outside information.Tik Tok, in particular is easily the worst offender when it comes to the spread of pseudohistory, pseudoarcheology, and general conspiracism. The speed with which a short video containing absolute nonsense can be created and shared on Tik Tok is truly impressive. And thanks to its algorithm, those who consume such disinformation are repeatedly inundated with more and more nonsense, creating a never-ending loop of paranoid conspiracism and pseudo historical group-think. One such outlandish claim that frequently pops up on pseudohistory-promoting social media sites is our topic for this episode: the battle of Cagayan. For those unfamiliar with the general narrative, it usually goes like this: “In 1582, a small, battle-hardened group consisting of 40 Tlaxkaltekah and Spanish soldiers defeated a thousand Japanese Samurai at the Battle of Cagayan in the Phillipines.” At face value this story sounds super badass. But is this actually what happened? Did a small band of spunky Tlaxkaltekah and Spanish soldiers really vanquish a THOUSAND Japanese Samurai in a Thermopylae-style beat down in the Phillipines?

This time in my hometown of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Now, for those who are unaware, here's a bit of background and history about the organization as featured on the official NACCS website. “The Association was first named the National Caucus of Chicano Social Scientists from 1972-1973. After the Caucus's first meeting November 17, 1973, at the University of California at Irvine, the members of the steering committee unanimously voted to change the name to the National Association of Chicano Social Scientists (NACSS).In 1976, during the 3rd NACSS Conference participates voted to rename the organization to the National Association for Chicano Studies (NACS).In 1995 during the National Conference in Spokane, Washington, the body unanimously voted to change the name from the National Association for Chicano Studies to the National Association for Chicana and Chicano Studies (NACCS).”Its stated mission, once again from the website is:“To advance the interest and needs of the Chicana and Chicano community. To advance research in Chicana and Chicano Studies. To advance the professional interest and needs of Chicanas and Chicanos in the academy.”Now, I found it interesting that the very first sentence of the NACCS's mission statement is to advance the interests and needs of the Chicana and Chicano community. because I, like most members of the Chicana and Chicano community here in Albuquerque, had no idea whatsoever that the conference was even happening in my own city. And not only that, but when I did hear about the conference, I looked into the registration process thinking that I might participate, only to find that the cost of registering for the conference was far too expensive for your average community member. Now with this in mind, I sat down with Dr. Ernesto Todd Mireles of Northern Arizona University and author Scott Russell Duncan of Maiz Poppin Press, Both of whom were in town to attend the conference.Your Host:Kurly Tlapoyawa is an archaeologist, ethnohistorian, and filmmaker.

In case you've never heard of it, the march was a watershed moment in the Chicano Movement, in which the Los Angeles Police met a peaceful Chicana-Chicano-led protest against the Vietnam War with extreme violence. The ensuing police riot claimed three lives, most notably that of Journalist Ruben Salazar. It remains an important chapter in Chicana-Chicano history. Yet the video claims the Chicano Moratorium “sparked a movement in defense of Latinx lives.”Wait... what?In this episode we talk about the Eurocentric roots of "Latinidad," and how "Latinx" identity is a colonialist tool that centers whiteness while erasing those of Indigenous and African descent.Your hosts:Kurly Tlapoyawa is an archaeologist, ethnohistorian, and filmmaker.

Beneath the altar of the village church in Ixcateopan, Guerrero, Juarez placed half-burnt bones, a handful of artifacts, and a copper plaque crudely engraved with the words “1525–1529. Lord and King Coatemo.” The remains, he claimed, belonged to none other than Kwawtemok, the last sovereign Tlahtoani of the Mexika people. This forgery was driven by Juárez's ambition to elevate the status of his village and exploit Mexico's rapidly growing cultural nationalism. The subsequent controversies, investigations, and appropriation of the legend surrounding the alleged “Tomb of Kwawtemok” help us understand the nature of Mexican national identity and the interplay between elite and grassroots manipulation of historical symbols.Your Hosts:Kurly Tlapoyawa is an archaeologist, ethnohistorian, and filmmaker.

If you spend any time on Indigenous social media, you probably know what we are talking about. Supporters of this claim seek to dispel what they view as a Eurocentric myth. A myth that, in their eyes, buries the true history of the horse in the Americas by discounting Indigenous oral traditions and ignoring archaeological evidence that would reshape our understanding of history.But do these claims stand up to scrutiny? Did the horse really go extinct in the Americas? And what does all of this have to do with a religious zealot from the 1800s?

Expanding on this theme we will explore not merely "civilization," but the idea of morality as enshrined in social and legal systems, far predating the Ten Commandments. The previous show summary is provided here: There is an idea circulating online that only white, christian, western civilization delivered morality, cleanliness, safety, and intelligence to the world, along with the most beautiful women, cars, houses, etc., all the latter things of which are obviously subjective. This all sounds good to people who are told every day that they are racists and bigots. But before one could even consider such a thing seriously, they would first need to define terms like “white,” “christian,” and “western.” Much of this sentiment is rooted in the United States, which finds itself ranked out of the top ten for life expectancy, infant mortality, and overall healthcare, with a poor 79% literacy rate of which 54% are barely educated to a 6th grand level, and with an average IQ of 98. The U.S. is also increasingly famous for its crime and filth. Many things contribute to such low markers, including education, chemicals, and cultural priorities. Such markers change over time, too, though its seems much of the unspecific western world, i.e., the U.S., lives in the shadow of past greatness. The point is: white-christian-western ideas are not faulty, but not the end-all of civilization. From Iran to Russia, South Korea, Japan and Singapore, among many others, there are substantially higher IQ scores, with Japan leading at 106.58 for an average. There is also better healthcare quality and cost, with Japan leading in life expectancy and infant mortality. Outside Singapore, which has only a 19% Christian population, or South Korea with a 31% Christian population, Japan has only a 1.5% Christian population yet is considered the overall safest, cleanest, kindest, healthiest, highest IQ country in the world. By all accounts and the definition of “civilization,” these previous countries are more civilized than the United States. The meaning here is that white christianity is not needed to produce such a society. In fact, historically, many things now considered western or American are anything but that…. Gunpowder, ketchup, and paper came from China, rubber came from Mesoamerica, the wheel from Mesopotamia, Zero was derived by the Indians, and after the collapse of the western Roman Empire it was the Islamic Golden Age that kept, translated, and expanded upon medicine, philosophy, engineering, astronomy, and math (the Arabs giving us Algebra), ultimately preserving it for the later European Renaissance. By all measures “civilization” is a combination of humanity in both times of peace and war, with none holding the title for best. If the western world is largely based on Greek philosophy which merged with Roman philosophy, itself the first major superpower, then Christianity cannot be the foundation of the former because it was only adopted in the 4th-century during the final years of the western Roman Empire.-FREE ARCHIVE (w. ads)SUBSCRIPTION ARCHIVEX / TWITTER FACEBOOKMAIN WEBSITECashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tst-radio--5328407/support.

Outside Singapore, which has only a 19% Christian population, or South Korea with a 31% Christian population, Japan has only a 1.5% Christian population yet is considered the overall safest, cleanest, kindest, healthiest, highest IQ country in the world. By all accounts and the definition of “civilization,” these previous countries are more civilized than the United States. The meaning here is that white christianity is not needed to produce such a society. In fact, historically, many things now considered western or American are anything but that…. Gunpowder, ketchup, and paper came from China, rubber came from Mesoamerica, the wheel from Mesopotamia, Zero was derived by the Indians, and after the collapse of the western Roman Empire it was the Islamic Golden Age that kept, translated, and expanded upon medicine, philosophy, engineering, astronomy, and math (the Arabs giving us Algebra), ultimately preserving it for the later European Renaissance. By all measures “civilization” is a combination of humanity in both times of peace and war, with none holding the title for best. If the western world is largely based on Greek philosophy which merged with Roman philosophy, itself the first major superpower, then Christianity cannot be the foundation of the former because it was only adopted in the 4th-century during the final years of the western Roman Empire.-FREE ARCHIVE (w. ads)SUBSCRIPTION ARCHIVEX / TWITTER FACEBOOKMAIN WEBSITECashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tst-radio--5328407/support.

In this episode, I talk with George J. Haas about his new book The Great Architects of Mars: Evidence for the Lost Civilizations on the Red Planet. George is the founder of The Cydonia Institute and a longtime researcher of Martian anomalies. His latest work explores the possibility that an ancient civilization once existed on Mars—and that it may have made contact with early life on Earth over 800,000 years ago.We explore strange and compelling structures on the Martian surface—pyramids, five-pointed stars, and massive geoglyphs shaped like animals—all showing a surprising level of precision and symbolic design. Some of these images are truly startling—so refined, so geometrically precise, and so clearly symbolic that it becomes difficult to explain them as natural formations. George shows that this level of complexity points to intelligent design, likely from an advanced civilization with the capability to shape an entire planetary landscape. These structures raise deep questions about who—or what—created them, and why.A major part of our discussion centers on the connection between these Martian structures and ancient Earth civilizations, especially in Mesoamerica. George shares a little-known Mayan creation story describing a “Star War” with beings from Mars—an event he believes ties directly to similar stories in Sumerian mythology.That leads us into the topic of the Anunnaki—those mysterious beings from Sumerian texts who are said to have descended from the sky and influenced early human civilization. George draws powerful parallels between the Anunnaki's presence on Earth and possible activity on Mars, suggesting they may have once occupied or interacted with both planets. He also highlights how the architecture and iconography of Mesoamerican cultures reflect this deeper, interplanetary history.In the second half of the episode, George walks us through several formations using detailed NASA imagery and suggests they may be the remnants of lost Martian cities.www.thecydoniainstitute.comGeorge J.

00:46 2D metals made using sapphire pressTaking inspiration from industrial forging, researchers have demonstrated a way to squeeze molten metals into atomically-thin layers, creating relatively large flakes of 2D metals. Using a hydraulic press containing two sapphire anvils, a team was able to create sub-nanometer thick sheets of different metals — these sheets had diameters exceeding 0.1 mm, orders of magnitude larger than other methods have achieved. 2D metals have been theorized to possess several useful properties not seen in their larger, 3D counterparts, but have been difficult to make at scale, something this method may help overcome.Research Article: Zhao et al.News and Views: Metals squeezed to thickness of just two atoms09:36 Research HighlightsThe discovery of ancient puppets on remains of a large pyramid offers a glimpse into rituals in Mesoamerica, and how the presence of a certain pattern of sleep brainwaves might help predict which people will recover from an unresponsive state.Research Highlight: Ancient puppets that smile or scowl hint at shared ritualsResearch Highlight: Who's likely to wake up from a coma?

• Reveals the powerful influence of near-death experiences (NDEs) on the formation of religious beliefs, mystical literature, and ritual practices• Focuses on the afterlife beliefs of five ancient world regions: Old and Middle Kingdom Egypt, Sumer and Old Babylonian Mesopotamia, Vedic India, pre-Buddhist China, and Maya and Aztec Mesoamerica• Shows how the similarities among afterlife beliefs and their correspondences with NDEs reveal that they both stem from universal truthsTaking readers on a thought-provoking journey into our ancestors' beliefs about death, dying, and the afterlife, Gregory Shushan, Ph.D., reveals the powerful influence of near-death experiences (NDEs) on religious beliefs and ritual practices throughout human history. Focusing on five ancient world regions in Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, China, and Mesoamerica, Shushan expertly explores each civilization's afterlife beliefs. He explains how each of these civilizations developed independently of one another, yet there is a series of similarities among afterlife beliefs too consistent and specific to be mere coincidence. This leads to the profound implication that afterlife beliefs are not entirely invented by cultures: they also stem from universal truths derived from NDEs.Drawing on anthropology, psychology, and philosophy, the author explores how each civilization interpreted NDEs and how afterlife beliefs develop over time. He also explores the metaphysical implications of his discoveries, including what an actual afterlife would look like. Revealing that NDEs have occurred throughout human history, Shushan shows how they continue to influence our understanding of what lies beyond death to this day.BioGregory Shushan, Ph.D., is the leading authority on near-death experiences and afterlife beliefs across cultures and throughout history.

Why has gold reigned as the world’s go-to precious metal for over 2,600 years? It’s not as rare as platinum, durable as diamonds, or malleable as copper. What is it about this metal that made it the standard unit of coinage, from China to Mesoamerica? It’s a very long story, but gold’s scarcity, durability, malleability, and universal appeal made it ideal for trade and wealth preservation, starting with the Lydians of 550 BC. Unlike tin, copper, or bronze, gold’s intrinsic properties allowed it to serve as a stable and universally recognized unit of exchange, laying the foundation for its historical role in economies. In today’s episode, we explore gold’s history, the evolution of monetary systems (from China’s early use of paper money in the Middle Ages to Great Britain’s establishment of the gold standard in the late 17th century), and how the gold standard of the last century facilitated international trade and stability but was ultimately abandoned due to its deflationary pressures and limitations. The pivotal moment came in 1971 when President Nixon ended dollar-gold convertibility, ushering in the fiat currency era. To discuss these topics is today’s guest, Collin Plume, author of “Silver Is the New Oil: Strategies for Profiting From the Next Industrial Revolution” and CEO of Noble Gold Investments. He offers insights into modern trends, including nations increasing gold reserves, gold-backed cryptocurrencies, and the future role of gold in global finance.

Tonight, my special guest is author Frank Joseph who's here to discuss his research into the coming ice age and how it's tied to the lost city of Atlantis.   Reveals the parallels between the rise and fall of Atlantis, cultures in ancient Mesoamerica, and our modern civilization  • Links the demise of Atlantis with the birth of the Olmec civilization in Mexico, the beginning of the first Egyptian dynasty, and the start of the Mayan Calendar  • Reveals the Atlantean and Mayan prophecy of an eternal cycle of global creation, destruction, and renewal and how we are headed into a destructive phase  • Shows how ancient prophecies correlate precisely with the latest climatology studies, the rising incidence of solar flares, and papers from Pentagon and NASA analysts  With the passing of the Mayan Calendar's end date we can now focus on the true significance of what the Maya and their predecessors were trying to convey to future civilizations. Frank Joseph reveals how the Mayan prophecy, symbolized by their calendar, was created through the combined genius of Atlantis and Lemuria and predicts an eternal cycle of global creation, destruction, and renewal. He shows how this cycle correlates precisely with scientific studies on glacial ice cores and predictions from the Hopi, the Incas, and the Scandinavian Norse as well as the visions of Edgar Cayce. He links the demise of Atlantis with the birth of the Olmec civilization in Mexico (the progenitors of the Maya), the beginning of the first Egyptian dynasty, and the start of the Mayan Calendar.  Drawing on the latest climatology studies and papers from Pentagon and NASA analysts, he reveals that we are on the brink of a destructive phase in the global cycle of change as predicted by the Atlanteans and the Maya. The world's current political, economic, and cultural deterioration is paralleled by unprecedented storms and record temperatures, massive solar flares, tectonic disturbances, and fissuring sea floors that could release dangerous reservoirs of methane gas into the environment--all of which signals we are headed into another ice age.  Despite the Atlanteans' greater understanding of the cyclical nature of catastrophes and of the human role in them, Joseph reveals the mistakes they made that played a crucial role in their civilization's destruction. By recognizing the self-destructive patterns of Atlantis in our own civilization, we can learn from their mistakes to reestablish civilization's cosmic balance before time runs out.Follow Our Other ShowsFollow UFO WitnessesFollow Crime Watch WeeklyFollow Paranormal FearsFollow Seven: Disturbing Chronicle StoriesJoin our Patreon for ad-free listening and more bonus content.Follow us on Instagram @mysteriousradioFollow us on TikTok mysteriousradioTikTok Follow us on Twitter @mysteriousradio Follow us on Pinterest pinterest.com/mysteriousradio Like us on Facebook Facebook.com/mysteriousradio]
