Dr. Robert M. Schoch, a full-time faculty member at the College of General Studies at Boston University since 1984, and a recipient of its Peyton Richter Award for interdisciplinary teaching, earned his Ph.D. in Geology and Geophysics at Yale University in 1983. He also holds an M.S. and M.Phil. in Geology and Geophysics from Yale, as well as degrees in Anthropology (B.A.) and Geology (B.S.) from George Washington University. In recognition of his research into ancient civilizations, Dr. Schoch was awarded (in 2014) the title of Honorary Professor of the Nikola Vaptsarov Naval Academy in Varna, Bulgaria. In 2017, the College of General Studies at Boston University named him Director of its Institute for the Study of the Origins of Civilization (ISOC).In the early 1990s, Dr. Schoch stunned the world with his revolutionary research that recast the date of the Great Sphinx of Egypt to a period thousands of years earlier than its standard attribution. In demonstrating that the leonine monument has been heavily eroded by water despite the fact that its location on the edge of the Sahara has endured hyper-arid climactic conditions for the past 5,000 years, Dr. Schoch revealed to the world that mankind's history is greater and older than previously believed. Dr. Schoch's research, put forth in his book Forgotten Civilization: The Role of Solar Outbursts in Our Past and Future (2012), points to the astronomical cause of the demise of antediluvian civilization, as well as the scientific and archaeological evidence that supports his conclusions.Dr. Schoch has been quoted extensively in the media for his work on ancient cultures and monuments around the globe, including Egypt, Turkey, Bosnia, Romania, Bulgaria, Wales, England, Scotland, Malta, Norway, Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, Chile (Easter Island), South Africa, India, Indonesia, and Japan. His research has been instrumental in spurring renewed attention to the interrelationships between geological and astronomical phenomena, natural catastrophes, and the early history of civilization. He has appeared on numerous radio and television shows and is featured in the Emmy-winning documentary The Mystery of the Sphinx, which first aired on NBC in 1993.The author and coauthor of books both technical and popular, Dr. Schoch's works include Phylogeny Reconstruction in Paleontology (1986), Stratigraphy: Principles and Methods (1989), Voices of the Rocks (1999), Voyages of the Pyramid Builders(2003), Pyramid Quest (2005), The Parapsychology Revolution (2008), Forgotten Civilization (2012), and Origins of the Sphinx (2017), among others. Dr. Schoch is also the coauthor of an environmental science textbook used in universities across the United States, and he has contributed to numerous magazines, journals, and reviews on geology, ancient civilizations, parapsychology, and other topics. His works have been translated into a number of languages and distributed around the world.Besides his academic and scholarly studies, Dr. Schoch is an active environmental advocate who stresses a pragmatic, hands-on approach. In this connection, he helped found a local community land trust devoted to protecting land from harmful development, serving on its Board of Directors for many years. And despite acknowledging that our Sun is a major driver of climate on the planet, Dr. Schoch takes an active part in “green” politics; for over a decade he served as an elected member of his local city council.In 1993, an extinct mammal genus was named Schochia in honor of Dr. Schoch's paleontological contributions.The chamber beneath the Sphinx's paw, which Dr. Schoch discovered in the early 1990s (working with Dr. Thomas Dobecki) and which many people believe is an ancient archive or "Hall of Records", remains unexplored.

This week finds our hosts covering a stew pot of topics. Is an Internet Catastrophe on the horizon thanks to solar outbursts? The Artist D reviews Lil Nas X’s new album. Ann Marie brings us the top 10 animal sex facts. All this and cryogenic body theft! Take a break from reality by hearing about […]

In this newly revised and expanded edition, updated throughout with recent developments, geologist Robert Schoch builds upon his revolutionary theory that the origins of the Sphinx date back much further than 2500 BCE and examines scientific evidence of the catastrophe that destroyed early high culture nearly 12,000 years ago. Combining evidence from multiple scientific disciplines, Schoch makes the case that the abrupt end of the last ice age, circa 9700 BCE, was due to an agitated Sun. Solar outbursts unleashed electrical/plasma discharges upon Earth, triggering dramatic climate change as well as increased earthquake and volcanic activity, fires, high radiation levels, and massive floods. Schoch explains how these events impacted the civilizations of the time, set humanity back thousands of years, and led to six millennia of a Solar-Induced Dark Age (SIDA). Applying the SIDA framework to ancient history, he explores how many megalithic monuments, petroglyphs, indigenous traditions, and legends fall logically into place, including the underground cities of Cappadocia, the Easter Island rongorongo glyphs, and the Göbekli Tepe complex in Turkey. He also reveals that our Sun is a much more unstable star than previously believed, suggesting that history could repeat itself with a solar outburst powerful enough to devastate modern society. Weaving together a new view of the origins and antiquity of civilization and the dynamics of the planet we live on, Schoch maintains we must heed the megalithic warning of the past and collectively prepare for future events. 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.  www.21stcenturyradio.com

Today's episode of Lost Origins is a bangerang of an episode. Why? We're glad that you asked - two reasons. First and foremost, this is the first episode of 2020 and we couldn't be more stoked on how we are kicking off the new year. Which leads us to reason number two, that being the guest for this week's episode. This week, Andrew and CK are joined by none other than Dr. Robert Schoch. A legend of his field, Dr. Schoch has been a mind that both Andrew and CK have wanted to pick for years and the two finally had the opportunity to do so at the Conference of Precession and Ancient Knowledge. The three spent time digging into the life's work of Dr. Schoch surrounding the Sphynx, Gobelki Tepe, coronal mass ejections, and so much more. Dr. Robert Schoch of Boston University is speaking on Göbekli Tepe, the incredibly sophisticated 12,000-year-old archaeological complex in southeastern Turkey.Professor, geologist, author, and scientist famed for re-dating the Great Sphinx, Dr. Schoch will discuss the enigma of Göbekli Tepe, which belongs to an early cycle of civilization dating back to the end of the last ice age. Dr. Schoch’s latest research put forth in his book Forgotten Civilization: The Role of Solar Outbursts in Our Past and Future points to the astronomical cause of the demise of antediluvian civilizations, as well as the scientific and archaeological evidence that supports his conclusions.

From the best of Spirit Radio from Nov. 15-2014 Tonight's guest Dr. Robert M. Schoch joins us to discuss his latest book Forgotten Civilization: The role of Solar Outbursts in our Past and Future.

BIOGRAPHY:Robert Schoch has a Ph.D. in Geology and Geophysics from Yale and has been working in Egypt focusing on the Great Sphinx and Great Pyramid, since 1990. He is a tenured full-time faculty member at the College of General Studies of Boston University where he has taught a variety of science courses since 1984. Based on his geological studies, Robert has determined that the Sphinx's origins go back to pre-dynastic times, thousands of years older than previously thought. In recent years, Dr. Schoch has expanded his research to encompass pyramids and associated structures around the world.Besides his academic and scholarly studies, Dr. Schoch is an active environmental advocate who stresses a pragmatic, hands-on approach. In this connection, he helped found a local community land trust devoted to protecting land from harmful development, serving on its Board of Directors for many years. And despite acknowledging that our Sun is a major driver of climate on the planet, Dr. Schoch takes an active part in “green” politics; for over a decade he served as an elected member of his local city council.Tonight Dr. Schoch will discuss his research as well as The Sun's role in our origins and history.Robert's research has moved well beyond his early Sphinx work. He has authored many books including Forgotten Civilizations The Role of Solar Outbursts in Our past and Future

Join host Patricia Baker as she speaks with Robert Schoch, Ph.D., a scientist, who twenty-two years ago, redated the Sphinx and launched the New Archaeology. His book Forgotten Civilization: The Role of Solar Outbursts in out Past and Future distills all that has happened since into a simple conclusion: that solar activity ended the last cycle of high culture and may destroy ours in turn.   According to Joscelyn Godwin, Ph.D., senior faculty member at Colgate University Schoch is no fearmonger, no hawker of a pet theory. What we do with this knowledge is up to us, but once digested, it changes everything.
