Fresh off our recent expedition to Peru and Easter Island, I sit down with fellow history researcher and explorer Simon Tufnell to discuss the endless ancient anomalies that we witnessed, touched and examined during our South American expedition. From the Nazca Lines, to strange elongated skulls, to Cusco's 200 ton blocks, to mysterious caves, to "The Lost City" of Machu Picchu and to the Colossal Moai statues of Easter Island (Rapa Nui), Simon and I not only share our own reflections and theories concerning these enigmatic sites, but we dive deep into some of the long forgotten legends and oral traditions regarding them. Is there more to history than we have been told?TOURS

When a teenage girl and her lover were gunned down in 1948, the murders stunned a small Illinois town — and sparked a ghost story that refuses to die.Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version of #WeirdDarkness: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateIN THIS EPISODE: In 2016, near the infamous Nazca Lines, an incredible find came to light – not gold or jewels, not remnants of pottery, but a tomb. But what was found within the tomb has raised more questions than answers, as the resident mummies appears not to be human… just humanoid. (The Nazca Three-Fingered Mummy) *** Once in a while you'll hear of a horrible tragedy and the victim will be described as “ground into mincemeat”. In some case, this is not much of an exaggeration. (Ground Into Mincemeat) *** In 1983 Diane Downs shot her own children – Christie, Danny and Cheryl, in the backseat of the car. Miraculously, Christie Downs survived. (The Survival of Christie Downs) *** When it comes to demonic possession, it's often chalked up to mental illness – but sometimes the events surrounding the possessed person are so bizarre and unexplainable, you are almost forced to believe in the supernatural. Such was the case with Don Decker. (The Pennsylvania Rain Man) *** Cannibalism – just the word itself is enough to creep you out. Fortunately, cases of it are usually distant, in some far-off, remote, jungle area, done by natives who have yet to discover civilization. At least, that's what we like to believe. Unfortunately, it happens worldwide, nearer than you think. Like… in America. And in some cases, not so long ago.

There are some spots on Earth that still keep scientists scratching their heads, like the Eye of the Sahara, also known as the Richat Structure. This mysterious geological formation in Mauritania has puzzled researchers for years, with theories ranging from ancient impact craters to geological anomalies. Then there's the Bermuda Triangle, a notorious area in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where ships and planes have mysteriously disappeared. Scientists continue to study it to understand the truth behind the vanishings. The Nazca Lines in Peru also baffle scientists - these massive ancient geoglyphs depict various creatures and shapes visible only from the air, leaving experts wondering about their purpose and creators.

The Nazca lines have become famous over the years for their mysterious origins and purpose.  Residing in the high desert in Southern Peru, the lines were created by removing the top layer of desert rocks, exposing the different colored clay beneath.  Some of the lines appear to be an astronomical calendar, some are drawings of birds and beasts, and some seem to have no known purpose. The mystery of their purpose has led to them becoming a favorite topic of the pseudoscience community in recent decades as evidence of ancient aliens.  Take a listen and see what we do know about them, when they were made, and what their purpose might be.

In the first half, SkyWatch TV host and author Derek Gilbert discussed the origins of the 'Ancient Aliens' hypothesis and revealed a chain of evidence that links together Aleister Crowley, horror fiction author H.P. Lovecraft, and Erich Von Däniken. These links were originally proposed by researchers Peter Levenda and Jason Colavito, he pointed out. Gilbert elaborated on how Lovecraft's themes inspired two French sci-fi authors who delved into such mysteries as who built the pyramids, ancient glyphs, and the Nazca Lines, and this in turn seemed to directly inform Von Däniken's central thesis in "Chariots of the Gods" (1968), that technologies and religions of many ancient civilizations were given to them by ancient astronauts or ETs.Gilbert detailed Lovecraft's complex relationship with theosophy and the occult, noting, "Lovecraft considered himself an atheist and a man of science, but he was more than happy to draw on teachings of people like Helena Blavatsky." He also highlighted the mystical connections between Lovecraft's work and Crowley's magical beliefs. According to Gilbert, Kenneth Grant, Crowley's associate, suggested that Lovecraft was not creating things out of his own imagination but rather was hearing from the same supernatural source as Crowley, specifically concerning a plot device invented by Lovecraft called the Necronomicon (a grimoire of forbidden knowledge or spells). Grant believed this book actually existed in the Akashic records and that Crowley and Blavatsky were accessing it through occult practices.On the topic of ancient aliens, Crowley, in 1907, described a huge tentacled creature in the ocean's abyss, similar to the chaos monster of the Greeks. This was similar to how, some 20 years later, Lovecraft portrayed Cthulhu, the ancient cosmic entity worshiped by cultists. Gilbert also touched on such topics as ET entities called The Nine, the government group known as the Collins Elite, and Ezekiel's wheel.------------In the latter half, paranormal investigator and researcher Kate Ray spoke about her deep fascination with the supernatural, particularly fairies, which have become one of her subjects of expertise. When asked about the connection between fairies and ghosts, she explained her journey from traditional paranormal research to recognizing the presence of fairies in haunted properties. "The more I collected evidence, both in folklore and my own experiences, the more my colleagues and peers took my journey seriously," she reflected. Addressing the physicality of fairies, Ray suggested that while they could be considered etherical or spiritual beings, they have the ability to shape-shift and appear in different guises, perhaps changing from a very small being into human or animal form.The fairies are known to have a rather mischievous streak to the point that they can seem malevolent in their interactions with humans, she continued, adding they don't share the same system of values and morals that we have. Ray observed an increase in fairy interactions during the COVID lockdown as more people sought solace in nature and turned inward. Yet, she cautioned listeners about summoning fairies, stating that if you wish upon a fairy, "do so with caution and some kind of payment," as well as urging respect for nature, as she links fairies to environmental issues. She also spoke about her experience on the television show "Help My House is Haunted," where she utilized remote viewing techniques to connect with a "pixie-type character" causing poltergeist activity in a home.

First a few current events involving a Taylor Swift guitar (or not), the Nazca Lines, a giant naked Trump art piece, and banning solar geoengineering. Then we talk water. Is blood thicker than water -- and what does that even mean? Does water have memory (as homeopaths insist) or feelings (as Masaru Emoto stated)? From alkali water to Black Water to Smart Water, what are all these expensive designer bottled waters available, and are any worth it? Let's, well, dive in!

In this episode, I break down the exciting news of newly discovered geoglyphs in Peru that date back to 200 B.C., and that nearly double the number of known geoglyphs around the mysterious Nazca region. I then share some of my research regarding the infamous Nazca lines that were discovered in the 1930s. After Machu Picchu, the Nazca Lines consistently rank as one of the top ancient Peruvian sites that attract tens of thousands of tourists each year. Estimated to have been created as early as 500 B.C., the Nazca Lines cover hundreds of square miles are the most mysterious geoglyphs known to man. I think I came to the same conclusion that so many others have when I first flew over the Nazca lines years ago... it seems as if these anomalous works of art were tailor made to be viewed from thousands of feet up in the air. In this episode, I attempt to answer the questions: How were they made? Why were they made? Who made them? SHOW NOTES 2025 Peru &/or Easter Island Tours Nazca Geoglyph article

Come along for the lines of the ley. You can find all of our wonderful links on the Linktree: https://linktr.ee/allts Ley lines are hypothetical alignments of geographic locations such as ancient monuments, natural landforms, and historical sites. The concept suggests that these places are connected by straight lines, thought to have mystical or spiritual significance. The idea of ley lines has gained popularity in various pseudoscientific, esoteric, and New Age communities. Origins and History The concept of ley lines dates back to early 20th-century England. The term "ley" was first coined by the British antiquarian Alfred Watkins in his 1921 book The Old Straight Track. Watkins proposed that ancient people deliberately aligned landmarks, such as stone circles, churches, and hilltops, along straight paths, possibly as routes for trade or ceremonial purposes. He believed that these straight tracks, which he called "leys" or "ley lines," were remnants of an ancient system of navigation. His theory was based on his observations of the English landscape, particularly the alignment of features such as standing stones, mounds, and prehistoric monuments. Watkins himself did not associate these lines with mystical or supernatural powers. He saw them as practical paths for ancient travelers. However, after his death, the idea was picked up by more esoteric thinkers, and ley lines began to be associated with spiritual energy, Earth energies, and even UFOs by later writers and New Age enthusiasts. In the 1960s and 1970s, authors like John Michell in his book The View Over Atlantis popularized the idea that ley lines carried spiritual energy or had a more mystical purpose. This interpretation, combined with increasing interest in the occult and alternative spirituality, gave the concept new life and turned it into a major focus for those interested in dowsing, geomancy, and other Earth-based spiritual practices. Spiritual and Esoteric Interpretations In New Age and esoteric beliefs, ley lines are often thought to be channels of Earth energy or cosmic power. These energies are said to flow between important spiritual or historical sites, sometimes referred to as "power points" or "energy vortices." Some people believe that the alignment of certain ancient monuments—such as Stonehenge, the Pyramids of Egypt, or Machu Picchu—indicates that ancient cultures had a deep understanding of these energies and deliberately built their sacred sites on ley lines to harness or tap into this power. There is, however, no scientific evidence supporting the existence of ley lines or Earth energies. Most scientists and archaeologists regard ley lines as coincidental alignments or results of selective perception. Prominent Examples of Ley Lines Though ley lines have been identified all over the world by various enthusiasts, here are some notable alignments that are frequently cited: St. Michael's Ley Line (England) This ley line is one of the most famous in Britain. It is said to run across the south of England, passing through landmarks such as St. Michael's Mount, Glastonbury Tor, Avebury, and Bury St. Edmunds. These sites are all associated with either Christian saints or ancient pagan practices. The line is said to represent an alignment of solar energies, especially on May Day when the sun rises directly along the line. Stonehenge and Avebury (England) Stonehenge, one of the most iconic ancient monuments in the world, is often cited as a key point in ley line theories. It is sometimes thought to be part of a larger network of ley lines that connect other significant prehistoric sites in southern England, such as Avebury. Some researchers have proposed that these lines were part of ancient astronomical or religious systems. The Great Pyramid of Giza (Egypt) Enthusiasts have linked the Great Pyramid to ley lines by claiming that it sits on a powerful global alignment. According to some theories, the pyramid is connected to other important monuments around the world via these mysterious lines, suggesting a global system of ancient knowledge. Sedona, Arizona (USA) Sedona is often described as a major "energy vortex," a place where ley lines converge and spiritual energy is thought to be particularly strong. Sedona's red rock formations and sacred sites attract thousands of spiritual seekers who believe they can tap into Earth's energy here. Nazca Lines (Peru) The mysterious Nazca Lines in Peru, large geoglyphs etched into the desert, are sometimes linked to ley line theories. Some believe that these vast designs, which include animals and geometric shapes, may align with ley lines or represent some kind of connection to cosmic energies. Modern Interpretations and Popular Culture Ley lines have become a popular feature in modern spirituality and fiction. They are frequently mentioned in books, movies, and television shows, where they are portrayed as channels of supernatural energy, often related to ancient civilizations, magic, or alien visitors. In New Age thought, ley lines are sometimes used as an explanation for the phenomena of UFO sightings, crop circles, or places with intense psychic or healing energy. Despite their modern popularity, ley lines remain controversial. Mainstream historians and scientists dismiss them as examples of pattern recognition, where people impose meaning on random or coincidental alignments of landmarks. Nonetheless, ley lines continue to fascinate many people who find meaning in the connections between ancient sites, nature, and the mystical energies of the Earth.

We'd love to hear from you! Send us a text message.In this episode of "Discover Daily," we begin with significant leadership changes at OpenAI and Stability AI. Mira Murati, Chief Technology Officer at OpenAI, has announced her departure, leaving a void in the company's technical leadership and raising questions about the continuity of ongoing projects. Meanwhile, acclaimed filmmaker James Cameron has joined the board of directors at Stability AI, signaling a shift in his stance on AI in filmmaking and potentially revolutionizing visual media creation.We also dive deep into an incredible archaeological breakthrough, where researchers from Yamagata University and IBM have used AI to uncover over 300 new geoglyphs in Peru's Nazca desert. This discovery nearly doubles the number of known designs and sheds new light on the ancient Nazca civilization's artistic practices and cultural significance. The AI-assisted method proved to be 20 times faster than human analysis, with the system being particularly effective at identifying smaller, more intricate figures. The success of AI in uncovering geoglyphs in the Nazca desert has implications for archaeological research worldwide. Similar techniques could potentially be applied in other regions known for ancient land art, such as the southwestern United States, Australian Outback, and Sahara Desert. As AI technologies continue to evolve, they promise to accelerate the pace of archaeological discoveries, deepen our understanding of ancient civilizations, and provide new ways to preserve and share our cultural heritage.From Perplexity's Discover Feed:https://www.perplexity.ai/page/mira-murati-departs-openai-HKHYnPjSQH.htsRvd58FuQhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/james-cameron-joins-stability-bB6rRHn7RsO_Thp9Mncrkwhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/ai-finds-new-nazca-lines-QONt2ZsoRPWmE51bAwM4.gPerplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

Today we are grabbing all the red string, tin foil, and copies of national geographic we own as we backtrack through the academic and archaeological evidence that might possibly support the theory that aliens came down to visit prehistoric man. Today on the Odder, we are flipping through the history channel, combing through old religious texts, and and even hitting up some of the greatest wonders of the world Indiana Jones style as we explore whether or not ancient astronauts may be credited with some of the greatest discoveries and influences the development of modern man, technology, and shaped the way we live. Were they here before and are they someday coming back? It's going to be a hell of a journey so let's go!Want to request your own personalized episode?

IN THIS EPISODE: Are you brave enough to live in a haunted house? If so, and you're ready to make a move, you might find a good deal in one of the homes I'm about to tell you about. (They Sold Their Haunted Houses) *** The Nazca Lines of Peru span for miles and are visible only from the sky. These mysterious designs have sparked theories ranging from astronomical markers to extraterrestrial landing strips, challenging our understanding of ancient civilizations. We'll look at the mystery behind them – and consider a few theories for their existence. (Mystery of the Nazca Lines) *** Armin Meiwes placed a personal ad for a volunteer. He was looking for someone to give themselves over to him… to eat. It's one of the most infamous cases of modern cannibalism. (The Cannibal Who Placed a Personal Ad) *** On May 28, 1903, Dr. Francis J. Tumblety, a man with a deep-seated hatred for women and surgical skills, died in St. Louis. Intriguingly, Tumblety was in London during the gruesome Jack the Ripper murders in 1888, sparking speculation that he might be the infamous slasher. (Was Jack The Ripper From St. Louis?) *** Imagine a duel between two women. One a princess, the other a countess. Now picture them dueling topless. It really happened… and the reason for the duel? A disagreement over flower arrangements.

We'll talk about the Nazca people including all of the juicy details... like pooping in people's mouths? Yeah. We'll also explore some of the prevailing theories as to why the Nazca put so much effort into etching these gigantic lines, shapes, and pictures into the desert floor, everything from solar calendars to ancient aliens. Sources: worldhistory.org "Nazca Civilization"British Museum "Who Were the Nasca?"National Geographic "Why the Nazca lines are among Peru's greatest mysteries"Applied Sciences "Astronomical Investigation to Verify the Calendar Theory of the Nazca Lines"The Los Angeles Times "Remembering archaeologist Maria Reiche..."Discover Magazine "The Nasca Lines Solution"UMASS "The Nazca Lines Project"Johan Reinhard "The Nazca Lines"Nazca Lines Tour "Nazca Lines Theories"Wikipedia "Erich von Daniken"Support the show! Buy Me a CoffeeVenmo @Shea-LaFountaine

IN THIS EPISODE: In 2016, near the infamous Nazca Lines, an incredible find came to light – not gold or jewels, not remnants of pottery, but a tomb. But what was found within the tomb has raised more questions than answers, as the resident mummies appears not to be human… just humanoid. (The Nazca Three-Fingered Mummy) *** Once in a while you'll hear of a horrible tragedy and the victim will be described as “ground into mincemeat”. In some case, this is not much of an exaggeration. (Ground Into Mincemeat) *** In 1983 Diane Downs shot her own children – Christie, Danny and Cheryl, in the backseat of the car. Miraculously, Christie Downs survived. (The Survival of Christie Downs) *** When it comes to demonic possession, it's often chalked up to mental illness – but sometimes the events surrounding the possessed person are so bizarre and unexplainable, you are almost forced to believe in the supernatural. Such was the case with Don Decker. (The Pennsylvania Rain Man) *** Cannibalism – just the word itself is enough to creep you out. Fortunately, cases of it are usually distant, in some far-off, remote, jungle area, done by natives who have yet to discover civilization. At least, that's what we like to believe. Unfortunately, it happens worldwide, nearer than you think. Like… in America. And in some cases, not so long ago. (American Cannibals) *** The death of a young girl and her boyfriend leave an Illinois town devastated… and it also left behind a lingering ghost.

Alfacast has entertained a good number of brilliant guests from differing backgrounds and perspective in an ongoing quest to unveil the authentic design & function of this Earthly Realm.  This knowledge was never intended to be hidden or overly complex, as the Truth never is on either count. "Flat Earth" investigation has been a "Gateway to the Truth" on so many levels, but this unfortunate term over simplifies a diverse body of research and is employed by orthodoxy to discredit anyone daring to cross the boundaries of accepted thought. "FPV Angel" represents an international group of brilliant investigative researchers decoding the true reality of the realm that we call home. Through, perhaps, the most advanced research the world has ever seen FPV Angel will further elaborate on the The Angelic Particle Matrix and highlight decodes from scriptures, the Nazca Lines, Enoch, sacred geometry, geo/petro/hiero glyphs, colosseums, pyramids, Angels, Sun halo's, lunar waves, quakes, and volcanoes. Our discussion will include what the luminaries are and how they work, and the 400 year resets responsible for all of the historical destruction via tsunamis and mud floods etc.  All findings are cross-referenced with real world data, history, holy books and prophecies. FPV Angel states, "we are not affiliated with any other group, community, entity, world map or model as we work on our own map and model without any external influence - which we have been proving over time."

In what may represent a significant turning point in the world of disclosure, a team of scientists and forensics experts has analyzed their findings regarding the Peruvian Alien Mummies. More than a dozen mummies were unearthed in Peru, close to the Nazca Lines, with one of them being pregnant, and even showing an umbilical cord in the X-rays conducted. They have not only determined that these mummies are real but have also concluded that they belong to an unknown species. Among the discoveries were 12 complete bodies, with DNA analysis confirming that they possess 70% human DNA and 30% DNA of unknown origin. However, skepticism remains, fueled by the fact that two other mummies reported in the news last year were later confirmed to be made of paper mache. Some researchers speculate that this deception was orchestrated to sow confusion among the public. Filmmakers Michael Mazzola and Serena DC, who are documenting evidence of "alien mummies," believe that this new set of mummies found in Peru is authentic and possesses unique DNA. They are in disagreement with scientists who argue that the specimens are clearly dolls crafted for tourists. Another angle to consider is whether these discoveries are being used to divert attention from reports of Peruvian alien attacks in a remote area, where villagers claimed to have encountered "face-peeling" creatures. Initially dismissed by the Peruvian government as “illegal miners on jet packs," this explanation has since been debunked. So, what were these creatures? Were they actual extraterrestrial beings, or something else entirely? Moreover, what occurred in Peru over a thousand years ago, and why is the region abundant with ancient remains? Join Ben and Rob on this Edge of Wonder live show as they delve deeper into the mystery of the Peru alien mummies. Don't miss the live Q&A session followed by a meditation/prayer, exclusively on Rise.TV!

This week's monument is the Nazca Lines, a remarkable and mysterious series of enormous shapes and patterns "drawn" into the Peru's Nazca Desert, that can only be seen properly from high in the air. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Secrets of the Nazca Lines, Ancient mysterious geoglyphs etched in Peru's desert over 2,000 years ago. Who created these lines and why? Is a lost civilization or perhaps Extraterrestrials waiting for us to decipher their cryptic messages carved into Earth? Is it a celestial map, a sacred pathway, or perhaps an Ancient Astronomical Observatory?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
