We finish off the Big 3 of Ancient Meso/South American civilizations with The Aztecs. Originally hailing from what is now the southern United States, the Mexica would enter the Valley the Mexico to find the place pretty crowded already. The only real spot left was a swampy marshy island in the middle of Lake Texcoco. Through innovation and engineering they created floating gardens to grow crops and sustain their growing population. The island that was once their disadvantage had now help them to grow and become valley's dominant peoples, ruling from their city of Tenochtitlan . Grand palaces, magnificent temples of sacrifice and enormous outdoor markets had the newly arrived Spanish Conquistadors in shock and awe. Well it wasn't long before Hernan Cortez and his Spanish troops started trying to take over the place. Find out what happened to the civilization that Mexico was literally built on. This episode is sponsored by Flintt's Mints. Don't be a victim of evil dry mouth, get yourself some Flintt's.

Embark on a journey shrouded in mystery as we unravel the enigmatic tale of the Aztec Mummy, entwined with ancient blood rituals and the looming presence of an evil spirit. Join us in this episode as we delve deep into the heart of 'American Mummy' (2014). Our adventure begins with an exploration of the rich tapestry of the Aztec civilization. Through the lens of the film, we're transported back in time, tracing the vibrant history and cultural legacy of this fascinating ancient society. From their awe-inspiring architecture to their intricate belief systems, we uncover the captivating secrets of the Aztec world. But the intrigue doesn't end there. In the latter half of our journey, we shift gears to offer a comprehensive review of 'American Mummy.' With a critical eye, we dissect the film's narrative, performances, and cinematography, culminating in our verdict as we rate it out of ten. Email: mummymoviepodcast@gmail.com Words and Terms Codex Telleriano-Remensis: This is a pictorial manuscript that provides valuable insight into the pre-Columbian Aztec civilization of Mexico. This codex largely consists of two parts. The Telleriano section is primarily concerned with the ritual calendar and the agricultural year of the Aztecs. The Remensis section focuses more on genealogy, history, and cosmology, with illustrations of deities, rulers, and mythical narratives. Tenochtitlan: The capital city of the Aztec Empire, located on an island in Lake Texcoco in the Valley of Mexico. The city was founded in 1325 AD, and by the time the Spanish Conquistadors arrived there in the 16th century, it was inhabited by 200,000 people, several times bigger than any city in Europe. Quetzalcoatl: One of the most important and revered deities in ancient Mesoamerican religion, particularly among the Aztecs and other Nahua peoples. The name Quetzalcoatl is derived from the Nahuatl language and is often translated as "feathered serpent." This deity held significant importance in various aspects of Mesoamerican cosmology, including creation myths, religious rituals, and social organization. Bibliography Aguilar-Moreno, M. (2006).

Gather 'round! I've got a tale to spin about our latest episode of “What The Frock?” with our ever-entertaining duo, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod. This week's episode, “A Cultlike Adherence to Political Dogma,” is a wild ride, I tell ya – it's got curses, politics, moon landing conspiracies, and even a dash of personal medical drama! Let's kick things off with a journey back in time, shall we? Picture this: the Spanish Conquistadors, decked in their armor, landing in the New World. But, get this – our hosts dive into how these conquerors might have been cursed by Native American gods. Spooky, right? The discussion weaves through history and myth, creating this tapestry that's both eerie and fascinating. I mean, who doesn't love a good curse story? Then, we snap back to the present with American politics. The big news? Chris Christie, big personality and even bigger opinions, bowing out of the 2024 Presidential race. Dave and Rod chew over this like it's the last piece of brisket at a barbecue – dissecting the whys and hows with their usual flair. They're not just talking politics; they're unraveling the fabric of American political theater. And just when you think it can't get any more outlandish, we veer into conspiracy territory. Yes, the moon landings – or should I say, the “faked” moon landings? Our hosts put on their detective hats and dive deep into this rabbit hole. I'm not saying they're convincing me, but let's just say they know how to spin a yarn that makes you go, “Hmmm.” But wait, there's a twist! In the midst of all this, we get a personal story from Dave, and it's about his disdain for getting an IV. It's not just a grumble – it's a full-on epic saga of a man versus the needle. His recounting is so vivid, you can almost feel the cold antiseptic and the pinch on your own arm. It's a human moment that brings us back down to earth after all that high-flying conspiracy talk. So, there you have it, folks – this week's episode of “What The Frock?” is a blend of the mystical, the political, the controversial, and the personal. It's like mixing a historical documentary with a late-night talk show and a dash of your grandpa's tall tales. Trust me, you don't want to miss this. Tune in, kick back, and let Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod take you on a journey that's as wild as it is weird. And remember, in the world of “What The Frock?”, expect the unexpected! But NOT the Spanish Inquisition!

Murray is asked, 'I am reading about Spanish Conquistadors. Since they were unfamiliar with the land, they would capture local tribe members and force them to act as guides. On many occasions, the guides would deliberately lead them astray to be attacked or direct them away from villages. Are there any notable incidents in ancient warfare where this occurred?'

Burn the boats. This weeks episode of The Second of Strength Podcast, Tanner talks about the need to burn the boats that are keeping us anchored to comfort. The phrase “Burn the boats” comes from the 1500's when Hernan Cortez instructed his men to destroy the ships they had just arrived on so that there was no turning back.  In one commend and act he made it so his Spanish Conquistadors would be forced to go forward.  There was no retreat. There was no “plan b”. There was only forward, fight, and win. How often are we failing to move forward simply because we give ourselves the option to go backwards if it gets to hard or too scary It's time to burn the boats. It's time to move forward with faith that forward is the right direction. It's time to be confident in your abilities and your future. It's time to burn the boats.

Retired from a 36-year leadership career with Fortune 100 software, high-tech, and global energy, Guy Morris has also been a published songwriter for Disney Records, screenplay writer for Sojourn Entertainment, a patented inventor, a Coast Guard charter captain, a PADI diver & adventurer, and now, an author and publisher of intelligent, well-researched thrillers. In Guy's book “The Curse of Cortez,” he explores and discloses the following: In 1672, Henry Morgan took 36 ships and 2,000 men to sack Panama City for a $1 billion haul and 600 enslaved people. Afterward, Morgan cheated his men, disappearing with nearly the entire treasure and 200 enslaved people on three ships that were never seen again. Morgan alone survived as a haunted man who hid in drunken debauchery and burned his logbooks to keep the world from learning the terrifying true story. Guy's book discloses the history behind the Spanish Conquistadors and their manifest destiny, which began some of the worst and inhumane slavery practices in human history…https://www.guymorrisbooks.com/

The fifth episode of The Vineyard Podcast W/ Miles Michaud (Allah-Las) "“A ship in harbor is safe, but that's not what ships are built for” the saying goes. But suppose the proverbial harbor is Los Angeles — a place not particularly known for being the origin of adventures. From the Spanish Conquistadors to the countless starry-eyed nobodies hoping to make it big, LA is usually the destination.So it's no wonder the Allah Las became fascinated with both the carefree spirit and glitter-in-the-gutter lifestyle of their hometown. After three records mining its lore and lure (from the desert to the sea) they have become global ambassadors of not just a place but a location. Having taken their compact California on the road across the world (making stops in North, Central, and South America, Europe, South Africa, Australia, Russia, East Asia and beyond), they couldn't help but peek through the other end of the telescope. On their fourth LP, drummer Matt Correia, bassist Spencer Dunham, and guitarists Miles Michaud and Pedrum Siadatian turn their collective gaze outward and toward the horizon. Simply titled LAHS (a reference to a common misspelling of the band's name), their forthcoming release on Mexican Summer finds the band turning in their most cohesive and ambitious work yet."

Invite all your monkey friends out for a day of river rafting as the 444th Ellises' Analysis dives into the goings on in "Apocalypse Before". Werner Herzog was still fairly new to making movies that are filled with verisimilitude when he made this incredibly authentic cult favourite deep in the Peruvian wilderness with his "best fiend" Klaus Kinski. The two of them had famous battles during this and other projects, but this first collaboration just might be their finest. Despite all of Kinski's dangerous unpredictability, he was a powerful and committed actor who deserved to be more of a movie star than he was. As for Aguirre's story, Herzog's Spanish Conquistadors (and *cough cough* all their slaves) float down a raging river to find the fabled city of gold in El Dorado, but that's a fools' journey that results in many deaths. Yeah, this is a bleak flick, but that doesn't stop it from being a great one. So don't let yourself be stalked by savages. Be a savage yourself as you seek out our thoughts about Aguirre: The Wrath Of God. Oh, and an insane trip like that would be helped by bringing along lots of Sparkplug Coffee.

Buffalo Bob's Jerky Review Welcome to The Guys Review, where we review media, products and experiences.   **READ APPLE REVIEWS/Fan Mail**Mention Twitter DM group - like pinned tweetRead emailsTwitter Poll Buffalo Bob's Jerky By: MarcusHistory of Beef Jerky: preserving meat that the Quecha Indians, a South American native tribe, originally from the ancient Inca empire, used as far back as 1550. They called it charqui, which literally translates into "dried meat". The Spanish Conquistadors realized this was a great way to preserve meat. They called it Char'qui. When they arrived in North America, they found the native Americans also drying meat to preserve it. The name char'qui eventually became "jerky". Jerky allowed people to be able to store meat and then consume a high protein source when food was scarce. The early pioneers and cowboys came to rely on jerky as a main staple of their diet. Soon, various spices were added to enhance the flavors. Today, many flavors, meats and styles of jerky are produced for one of the world's most popular snacks. Beef Jerky Market: from https://www.factmr.com/report/2130/beef-jerky-marketBeef Jerky Market: Beef Jerky Market Share & Trends Analysis, By Nature (Natural, Organic), By Flavor (Original, Teriyaki, Peppered), By Distribution Channel (Indirect, Online Retailers) & By Region Forecast, 2018-2028 the U.S. market has the highest consumption of beef jerky. The growth in the retail sales of beef jerky was observed to be higher than the past years in the United States last year and it has been increasing. According to, https://www.ibisworld.com/industry-statistics/market-size/meat-jerky-production-united-states/, The market size, measured by revenue, of the Meat Jerky Production industry is $1.2bn in 2022. The market size of the Meat Jerky Production industry is expected to increase 0.8% ($9.6M) in 2022. The market size of the Meat Jerky Production industry in the US has grown 1.0% ($12M) per year on average between 2017 and 2022 ($72M in market growth). Buffalo Bobs and Zicks Speciality Meats: Finding info on Buffalo Bobs was difficult. The Buffalo Bobs website (https://www.buffalobobssnacks.com/) is incomplete and has virtually no info. It lists their 26 jerky and meat products, and that's about it. I found one website (https://www.bestbeefjerky.org/2017/08/buffalo-bobs-jerky-exotic-meats.html) that said Buffalo Bobs was owned by Mark Matthews, and based out of Petaluma, CA. I couldn't find ANYTHING else about Matthews or where exactly in Petaluma he or the company is located. On the same website, it said that Buffalo Bobs is produced by Zicks Speciality Meats in Berrien Springs, Michigan. So I contacted them and Garrett Zick, the Vice-President of Zicks and son of the owner/founder emailed me back. He said Zicks was started back in 1983 and that they're most proud of the Buffalo Bobs meat snacks. He also told me they acquired the Buffalo Bobs brand from a company by the same name in Minnesota in the 90's. Originally they processed about 1,000lbs a week, but are now up tto 10-15K a week. Their best selling product is the alligator cajun jerky (no stats given). I did reply asking about Mark Matthews and received no response from Garrett. I also asked if there were any combinations they developed that didn't make it or tasted awful. I suggested some future exotic flavors as well: stir fry panda, ethiopian elephant, vegemite koala, and maybe curried cobra. Top Five Trivia of beef jerky: 1) While the term "jerky" is relatively newer, humans have been smoking meat (like Tucker) for thousands of years. A study (https://link.springer.com/referenceworkentry/10.1007%2F978-1-4020-4425-0_8752) Meat Preservation in Ancient Egypt goes into how the ancient egyptians would process and store dried meat, fish, and birds.2) Beef jerky is a favorite of NASA astronauts, often asked to be sent as extra food.3) Not only humans enjoy jerky, fire ants have been observed cutting "tasty" parts of their meals and setting them out to dry. While red squirrels will cut mushrooms and set them on sunny branches to dry and eat later.4) June 12th is national jerky day.5) Beef jerky is highly regulated by the USDA and imports are even more complicated, some countries don't even allow jerky imports. This is why most jerky is produced and packaged locally. Taste the jerky.  TOP 5Stephen:1 Breakfast club2 T23 Sandlot4 Back to the Future5 Mail order brides Chris:1. sandlots2.

Henry Barajas is a Latinx author from Tucson. He spoke about his pathway as a storyteller. He is best known for his graphic memoir about his great-grandfather titled La Voz De M.A.Y.O. Tata Rambo. It is based on the oral history of Ramon Jaurigue, an orphan and WWII veteran who co-founded the Mexican, American, Yaqui, and Others (M.A.Y.O.) organization, which successfully lobbied the Tucson City Council to improve living and working conditions for members of the Pascua Yaqui tribe—paving the way to their federal recognition. Meanwhile, Ramon’s home life suffered as his focus was pulled from his family to the wider community, and from domesticity to the adrenaline of the campaign. Henry Barajas has been writing, lettering, editing, and publishing comics for ten years. Recently, he scripted and lettered a short story for Image Comics’ Where We Live Benefit Anthology—100% of the proceeds were donated to Route 91 Strong, a non-profit organization. He was a deejay for KXCI, the online editor of the Tucson Weekly, former Arizona Daily Star writer/news assistant, and was nominated for the Shel Dorf Blogger of the Year award for his work at The Beat. Currently, he’s the Operations Director for Top Cow Productions in Los Angeles, CA. He is about to launch the first part of a 4 part Latinx fantasy series called Helm Greycastle on April 28th. Barajas took combined his passion for fantasy novels and books and created an alternate universe where the Aztec Empire defeated the Spanish Conquistadors. Recorded and produced by Amanda Shauger.

From hero to oppressor, Christopher Columbus is remembered very differently on both sides of the Atlantic.

This week we get together again with Erik Kristopher Myers, and William Hopkins to talk about Hammer Horror films.   Here is a right up with some links provided by William Hopkins.   Best of Hammer Horror and related films...   Despite their lavish look and many positive qualities, Hammer's horror films were made as "programmers" – quickly and cheaply made entertainment product that was almost always released as part of a double bill. So the films should be viewed and judged in that light.   The Curse of Frankenstein (1957): The first in Hammer's Frankenstein series. An enormously successful (and controversial) film in its day – and it still holds up very well even now. You can buy or rent the film on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/FCNrxjaVf2M The Horror of Dracula (1958): The first in Hammer's Dracula series. Inventive script by Jimmy Sangster; clever direction by Hammer's best director, Terence Fisher; beautiful cinematography, sets, costumes. And a rousing, memorable climax that Hammer never topped. One of the top five Dracula adaptations. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/atQr_Eac11k The Revenge of Frankenstein (1958): The second in Hammer's Frankenstein series. A smart, well-crafted follow-up to the first film. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/IkXx3MeZNvU Brides of Dracula (1960): The second in Hammer's Dracula series. A lavish, colorful, fast-paced gothic melodrama that doesn't suffer at all from the absence of Dracula himself. A favorite of mine; I think it's one of Hammer's best. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/NEQHTxU63ls The Evil of Frankenstein: (1964): The first of the Hammer Frankenstein films to be produced in cooperation with Universal (who made the original Frankenstein in 1931). With an infusion of cash from Universal, this is one of most visually impressive of Hammer's Frankenstein films, with great sets that recall the Universal original. But the monster is one of the weakest of the Hammer series and the script is not up to par. Not one of Hammer's best but still enjoyable. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/cTyJWBF22zA Dracula: Prince of Darkness (1966): Christopher Lee returns to the role of Dracula - though he has no lines and is only briefly onscreen - in the third film in Hammer's series. Very well produced, and for once a genuinely suspenseful and even scary Dracula film.  Frankenstein Created Woman (1967): An off-beat entry in Hammer's Frankenstein series. Not the best of the series, but surprisingly well-done and enjoyable.      Dracula Has Risen From the Grave (1968): Fourth in the Hammer Dracula series, with Christopher Lee returning in the role of the Count. Entertaining, smart, fast-paced. Lee is only on screen briefly and has little dialog, but his snarling, red-eyed, demonic appearance in this film (and it's follow-up) are probably the reason he came to be thought of, by a generation of film fans, as the ultimate screen Dracula. Apparently, at the time this was Hammer's highest grossing film. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/s9gGa4t4sHc Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970): Christopher Lee had determined not to play Dracula again, so Hammer cast Ralph Bates as his replacement for this film. (Also in 1970, Bates briefly replaced Peter Cushing in Hammer's Frankenstein series.) But at the last minute Hammer managed to change Lee's mind, so here he is again - with Bates shifted over to the role of Dracula's would-be acolyte. Beautifully shot, fun, solid Hammer entertainment, though not the best of the Dracula films. One of two (!) Dracula films Hammer released in 1970. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/VjoPIXZW09Q Scars of Dracula (1970): Christopher Lee is back again in one of the weaker entries in the Dracula series. Handsomely produced and not devoid of entertainment value, but it often feels tired and tedious, with occasional bursts of unnecessarily brutal violence. Lee, though, has more screen time and dialog in this entry than any of the other Dracula films he did for Hammer. After this one, Warner Brothers, which was financing and distributing Hammer's films in the US, insisted they bring the Dracula character into the modern world, so this is the last "period piece" Hammer Dracula film in which Lee played the Count. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ZMbH-KyHsXs Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1970): One of the best of the Hammer Frankenstein series. Fast-paced, beautifully shot and performed, with a smart, inventive script. A favorite of mine. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/cI-fG0Ov2Pc The Horror of Frankenstein (1970): Widely viewed as a misstep when it was released, this is Hammer's attempt at a parody of their own films. (Possibly, a reaction to the popularity of Andy Warhol's Frankenstein and Roman Polanski's Fearless Vampire Killers, which were both open and unabashed homage/parodies of the Hammer films.)  I think Ralph Bates is a worthy stand-in for Peter Cushing and I think the film is smart and funny,  though it clearly is not the best of the Hammer Frankensteins. Incidentally, that's David Prowse as the monster. He would go on to play Darth Vadar in Star Wars. He's wearing a significantly skimpier costume here. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/yU_D11OlNSs Dracula A.D. 1972 (1972): First of two Hammer Dracula films set in the 1970s. This is the film Marvel comics appears to be imitating with its Tombs of Dracula books. The first fifteen minutes of the film, which appear to be more inspired by A Clockwork Orange than anything else, are idiotic and annoying, but the film as a whole is an example of the kind of colorful, dynamic genre storytelling that Hammer excelled at. (Even at this late stage.) Peter Cushing gives a master class in the use of cigarettes and other props in screen acting. Sexy, beautiful, Caroline Munro also makes an appearance here. She would go on to appear in Hammer's Captain Kronos, Vampire Hunter, as well as the Bond film, The Spy Who Loved Me, and Ray Harryhausen's Sinbad film, The Golden Voyage of Sinbad. Dracula A.D. 1972 is apparently a favorite of Tim Burton. The musical score, which was derided as being wildly inappropriate for a Dracula film when the film was first released, has now developed a cult following, as has the film itself. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/AUu7bUIUGNU The Satanic Rites of Dracula (1974): The last appearance of Christopher Lee as Dracula in a Hammer film. And the last time Lee would play Dracula to Cushing's Van Helsing. (Cushing would go on to play Van Helsing in one more Hammer Dracula film, Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires.) This film's story follows directly from the story of the previous film, which is unusual for Hammer. (They usually didn't stress perfect continuity in their Dracula or Frankenstein series. ) I think I prefer this one to Dracula A.D. 1972, but both are fun, colorful and reasonably fast-paced, though the stories in both films are illogical and border on the silly. One aspect of The Satanic Rites of Dracula inspired a key plot point in my film, Sleepless Nights. Joanna Lumley, who would go on to achieve fame in the popular Brit comedy show, Absolutely Fabulous, plays Van Helsing's daughter here. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/J2H1ZO0gups Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell (1974): A return to form for the final entry in the Hammer Frankenstein series. After the commercial and critical failure of the series' attempted reboot, Horror of Frankenstein, Ralph Bates is out and Peter Cushing is back as Baron Frankenstein. This is a smart, well-crafted finale for the series, though it's an unusually grim and bleak film for the series, and the monster (once again played by David Prowse) is one of the more absurd iterations of the monster. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/_Lb4nFlf2Rw The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires (1974): The last of the Hammer Dracula series, with Peter Cushing back for a final turn as Van Helsing. This unusual mash-up of two exploitation film genres (decades before From Dusk Till Dawn) was the result of a co-producing deal between Hammer and Sir Run Run Shaw, the legendary Hong Kong film producer. Surprisingly well-done and entertaining, especially if you're a kung fu film fan. The appearance of John Forbes-Robinson as Dracula at the film's climax is its most disappointing moment. Heavily made up and speaking in a ridiculously ominous voice, he looks less like Christopher Lee's Dracula and more like someone made up for Halloween trick-or-treating. The film struggled to find distribution in the US, as was the case with Satanic Rites of Dracula. Both were eventually re-cut, retitled and dumped on the market by "Dynamite Films," an exploitation film distributor. After Dynamite Films went out of business, both Satanic Rites and 7 Golden Vampires entered into the public domain, a status they have been rescued from by Warner, which has asserted its copyright and recently released Blu-ray editions of the films. Years later, Sir Run Run Shaw would also co-produce Blade Runner. Hammer would make just two more films after Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires: To the Devil, A Daughter, with Christopher Lee and Richard Widmark, and a remake of Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes, with Elliot Gould and Cybil Shepard. Watch FOR FREE on YouTube: https://youtu.be/eA_L4L0qrAs Captain Kronos, Vampire Hunter (1974): This quirky, off-beat Hammer vampire film was directed by Brian Clemens, who wrote and produced The Avengers, for British TV. (He's responsible for casting Diana Rigg as Mrs. Peel.) The film shows the influence of the Sergio Leone spaghetti western films and may itself have served as an influence on Marvel's comic and film series character, Blade. Interesting and memorable.  Watch FOR FREE on Hammer's Official YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/RsWAVsRefSg Quatermass & the Pit (1967): One of Hammer's best, based on Nigel Kneale's groundbreaking British TV serial. Science fiction with supernatural horror overtones. Loaded with great ideas. Echoes of this film can be seen in The X-Files among other TV series and films. Well performed and shot.  A favorite of mine.  The Mummy (1959): While Hammer's first two big hits, Curse of Frankenstein and Horror of Dracula, were ostensibly adaptations of novels in the public domain and not sequels or remakes of Universal's classic horror films from the 30s, the studio's great success led to collaborations with Universal, such as Evil of Frankenstein, and licensing arrangements that allowed them to remake Universal's copyrighted material. Universal's 1932 film, The Mummy, was not based on a novel in the public domain, it was an original screenplay that led to a franchise that has so far resulted in ten movies from 1932 to 2017, so Universal unquestionably owned the copyright to the story and characters, and when Hammer decided to add The Mummy to their roster of monsters, they needed a licensing arrangement with Universal. They got one, which allowed them to use characters and plot points not just from Universal's first Mummy film, but from several of its sequels. In return Universal got the distribution rights to the film, which was so successful in its original release that Hammer ended up cranking out three sequels, the last one hitting the screens in 1971. I have to admit that while I revere the 1932 Universal original, I was never a fan of any of the Universal Mummy sequels, which I considered tedious, and so the 1959 production of The Mummy was one Hammer film I avoided, never seeing it as a child, teenager or young adult. In fact, I only saw it for the first time about two years ago. I sought it out, finally, because I had begun to develop a special appreciation for the work of director Terence Fisher. I'm glad I did, because it's definitely in the front rank of Hammer films. It has the lavish, richly colorful look that was by then a hallmark of Hammer productions; it's smart, well-paced, tightly scripted and has a surprisingly nuanced performance, by Christopher Lee, of the title character. In his portrayal of the creature in Curse of Frankenstein and the Count in Horror of Dracula, Lee showed that even when he had little or no dialog, he could bring a degree of depth to monster characters through physicality alone, and he does the same here. He's very much the rampaging monster at times, but his eyes and his body language create an impression of a mummy that has thoughts, emotions and dimensions to its personality that aren't even hinted at in the Universal sequels or in Hammer's own sequels. (In two of Hammer's Mummy movies, the mummy's face is hidden behind bandages, so no emoting is necessary.) Buy or rent The Mummy (1959) on YouTube: https://youtu.be/uojNB-SbDEo The Devil Rides Out (1968): This may be my favorite Hammer film. It's another Terence Fisher film, and another with Christopher Lee in the lead. It's based on a terrible novel by a terrible writer, Dennis Wheatley, but the screenwriter, Richard Matheson (of I Am Legend, Duel, Hell House and Twilight Zone fame) does a terrific job of finding all that is exciting, suspenseful and entertaining in the novel, while weeding out most of the dumb, racist, reactionary stuff Wheatley was famous for. (While he's almost entirely forgotten today, and his books are largely out of print, he was, for a time, one of the best selling authors in the English language.) Some of the story ideas in The Devil Rides Out made their way into my story for Demon Resurrection. My villain, Toth, is essentially Mocata, the villainous cult leader played with such elan by the great Charles Gray. In fact, Demon Resurrection could be seen as one half The Devil Rides Out, and one half Night of the Living Dead. For once, Lee has an enormous amount of dialog, and he delivers it with speed and style, punctuating each line with flourishes of his hands and eyebrows. One could say this is "hand and eyebrow acting" at its most entertaining. The rest of the cast is equally good, with Grey giving the screen one of its most urbane villains. (He would later bring his wit and style to the role of Blofeld in the Bond film, Diamonds are Forever.) The film was not a big hit for Hammer when it came out. 1968 was the year of Rosemary's Baby and perhaps critics and audiences found The Devil Rides Out a bit too old-fashioned. But I love it, for all its absurdities and melodramatic excesses. The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959): The same year Hammer's first Mummy movie came out, Hammer released its one and only Sherlock Holmes adaptation. Seeking to capitalize on their newfound fame as purveyors of horror product, they naturally turned to the Holmes adventure that had the most pronounced supernatural overtones, The Hound of the Baskervilles. Their biggest star, Peter Cushing was a natural choice to play Holmes, and he does so with great wit, style and energy. (He would go on to play Holmes in a BBC series in 1965.) Their other biggest star, Christopher Lee got a lesser role in the film, not as Watson but instead as Sir Henry Baskerville, the film's romantic lead. (He'd go on to play Holmes in a 1962 German film, with Terence Fisher directing, and in two leaden American TV movies in the early 90s.) I've always thought of the Universal 1939 version of this story, with Basil Rathbone, as the definitive film version, but I've always enjoyed this one as well. Cushing is in the upper tier of actors who have played the character, and the film itself, like most of the best Hammer films, is colorful, fast moving and stylish. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/wMwMGhZBAJU The Lost Continent (1968): The same year Hammer released The Devil Rides Out, it also released this film adaptation of another Dennis Wheatley novel. This one is more adventure than horror, and it has what must be the wackiest plot of any Hammer film, involving the crew and passengers of a tramp steamer loaded with explosive cargo, getting lost in the Sargasso Sea and discovering a secret civilization made up of pirates and the descendents of Spanish Conquistadors. Oh, and there's giant lobsters and killer seaweed to deal with as well. It's a blast. There are several more interesting and entertaining Hammer films that are worth catching, but if you see only those I've mentioned in this email, you'll have a pretty good overview of the company's output. For what it's worth, my favorites are: 1.) The Devil Rides Out 2.) Quatermass and the Pit 3.) Brides of Dracula 4.) Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed 5.) Horror of Dracula 6.) Curse of Frankenstein Lee and Cushing also appeared in a number of films for Hammer's chief competitor during the 50s, 60s & 70s: Amicus Films. Amicus is probably best known for producing the first film adaptations of the EC horror comics, Tales from the Crypt and The Vault of Horror. Their specialty was the portmanteau or anthology film – collections of several short horror stories, often by writers like Robert Bloch, with a wrap-around story holding it all together. Their EC adaptations are great fun (and were big hits in their day) and the company turned out a number of other entertaining productions including three Edgar Rice Burroughs adaptations in the 70s, The Land that Time Forgot, The People That Time Forgot and At the Earth's Core. One has to have a pretty high tolerance for men in rubber dinosaur suits to enjoy these films, but I have fond memories of them from seeing them in local theaters when they were first released. (Hammer also made a couple of dinosaur films, one of which, One Million Years, BC, was among their biggest hits in the 1960s, and made a star of Raquel Welch. The dinosaurs in that film, however, are the work of the great Ray Harryhausen, so they're of a higher order of quality than the Amicus efforts, which are perhaps superior to the Japanese monster films, but probably look pretty silly to modern, post-Jurassic Park audiences.) If, after sampling Hammer's offerings, you'd like to venture into Amicus territory, let me know and I'll send you a list of links to their best films. For now though, I'll just leave you with one Amicus title, their first film, produced before they'd even settled on their company name: Horror Hotel, aka The City of the Dead (1960), is a wonderfully atmospheric and effective tale of witches and occultism starring Christopher Lee. It's well worth checking out. It can be viewed FREE on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/W7As-qun8MI   And finally, there's Horror Express (1972), one of the great pairings of Hammer stars Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, but ironically not a Hammer film. It's a beautifully produced science-fiction/horror piece that gives us an idea of what Murder on the Orient Express might've been like if it had been written by Lovecraft. I saw this in the theater when it first came out and it's been a favorite of mine ever since, although I've had to settle for grainy washed-out prints in recent years. (Such is the fate of many films that fall into the public domain.)

Episode 165 -   In my opinion, Mark has written the book to read before your trip to Machu Picchu.  It includes the history of the Incas and the Spanish Conquistadors plus the story of Hiram Bingham, the Yale lecturer whose expedition in 1911 found the ruins of the Incan site.    The book also follows Mark (a self professed 'Martini Explorer') as he retraces the steps of Bingham's Peruvian expeditions.    Did you know that there is a 'back door' to Machu Picchu? Or that there are many more Incan ruins to discover in Peru?  Find out more in our interview with Mark Adams, author of Turn RIght at Machu Picchu Travel With Hawkeye website See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Statues and monuments linked to slavery are being taken down — sometimes forcefully by protesters themselves — across the United States as people grapple with the painful history that they often memorialize.

Well it has happened, like the Spanish Conquistadors before them, some left-wing radicals have put up fences and barricades  and have declared a new country for themselves. This new country of CHAZ has formed because the left wing mayor of Seattle, Washington, has raised the white flag of surrender.

A classic, back-to-basics, oldskool episode in which Daniel tells Jack all about a very nasty (and racist trivia-obsessed) specimen, Michael J. Thompson, who chooses to (sometimes) go by the online alias 'Paul Kersey', which is the name of Charles Bronson's character in Death Wish... y'know, the movie in which a middle-class architect becomes a serial killer, and murders loads of poor petty-criminals, and he's the hero.

Thompson White Nationalist Report." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/feb/03/paul-kersey-michael-j-thompson-white-nationalist-report "A new report has revealed that a prominent white nationalist author, activist and podcaster known as “Paul Kersey” has in fact worked for more than a decade at mainstream conservative institutions and media outlets under his real name. According to an investigation by the not-for-profit media outlet Right Wing Watch (RWW), the man who has worked under the Kersey pseudonym is in fact Michael J Thompson. The Guardian has uncovered additional material that supports reporting by RWW, and further indicates Thompson’s role in moulding rightwing activists from a position near the heart of America’s most influential conservative institutions. The RWW investigation, published on Monday, reveals the work of “Paul Kersey”, whom it calls a “barely underground member of the white nationalist movement” and a fixture on the roster of racist media outlets and campaign groups. But it also shows that Thompson worked under his own name at institutions like the Leadership Institute, its media arm Campus Reform, and WND, formerly World Net Daily, a once-popular conspiracy-minded conservative outlet, as late as November 2018. It also shows how his WND position allowed him to move in professional circles that included white nationalists, writers from Breitbart and the Daily Caller and prominent Donald Trump supporters including Steve Bannon and Jack Posobiec." Campus Reform Homepage: https://www.campusreform.org/ Current "Stuff Black People Don't Like" at Unz Review. https://www.unz.com/sbpdl/ Stuff Black People Don't Like, January 18, 2010 from the Internet Archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20100118112313/http://stuffblackpeopledontlike.blogspot.com/ "From a biological standpoint, Haitians who practice voodoo and the art of zombiism, have an ally in Wade Davis as he has done extensive research in Haitian voodoo and penned numerous volumes on the subject. In Passage of Darkness: the Ethnobiology of the Haitian Zombie and Serpent and the Rainbow, Davis discusses the uses of certain chemical compounds to create hallucinogens and neurotoxins capable of inducing the effects of death only to allow the “zombie” to awake later. The botanical secrets and the chemical compound formulas that create zombies are known only by the Haitian Voodoo priests, but the mysterious origins behind zombies haven’t dissuaded others from inventing their own. George Romero of “The Night of the Living Dead” fame is credited with inventing the modern-zombie in the United States, but he owes much to the 1930s film “White Zombie”, which was appropriately set in Haiti. We have discussed the historical nature of zombies, as the idea originated in Haiti and there, witch-doctors practiced (and still do) a form of Black magic that “can” reanimate corpses. In the United States however, zombies take on a much different connotation, for we view them as the true undead brought back to life, consuming as much live human flesh in the process, thereby spreading the zombie virus further. Zombies - in America - are a plague that must be eradicated." Romero, who has made a fine living directing zombie films, cast a Black person as the main protagonist in his first zombie film “Night of the Living Dead” and has since positively shown Black people in that films many sequels, most notably in the late 1970s “Dawn of the Dead.” It is obvious to all Black people, that Romero knows the true history of zombies, and thus, must do everything in his power to remove the mystical Black magic origins of voodoo/zombies from his films and showcase Black people operating in a highly functional manner. There is an unwritten rule in Hollywood that Romero deemed necessary when discussing zombies, for no mentioning of Haiti and Black people’s predilection and fascination with the undead can occur in film or video gam" Stuff Black People Don't Like, May 1, 2009 from the Internet Archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20110628224216/http://stuffblackpeopledontlike.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html #170: Losing Gold Teeth: "Black people are fascinated by gold, more so than the Spanish Conquistadors of old. Black people love gold so much, that they have it fashioned to put onto their teeth, known throughout the Black community as "grillz". A subculture has grown around this fascinating practice and has become a lucrative business for entrepreneur's hoping to affix their wares on the Black persons bicuspids. One practitioner of the art of "grillzing" writes, "Gold teeth are a product that has been increasingly growing over the past eight years, especially since the attention given to them from celebrities such as Nelly and Flavor Flav. Since that time, they've taken on several different names, such as gold fronts, gold caps, gold slugs, grills and grillz." The problem for "grillz" advocates remains maintaining the integrity of said gold piece in their mouths, while using the restroom. Recently at a Major League Baseball (MLB) game between the Atlanta Braves and the New York Mets, a woman lost one of her "grillz" in the latrine. While relieving herself, somehow her "grillz" become dislodged and ended up resting in the bowels of the commode."

When you hear about a “bias motivated incident,” maybe you’re thinking about a cross burning, or something of that nature. But at UNCO the “bias motivated incident” could simply be an "inappropriate joke" that is motivated by some form of bias. The UNCO policy also says that “Any discriminatory act is a violation of the Housing & Residence Life Student Code of Conduct.” Well, what do they mean by “any discriminatory act”? According to the UNCO handbook this includes, but is not limited to, “racism, ageism, sexism, and/or homophobia.” And (get ready for this!) included in the definition is “intentionally, recklessly or negligently causing physical, emotional, or mental harm to any person."

The Presidential Election season has officially begun. And amidst the mudslinging and vitriol that are sure to be constant companions of the political discourse, one author would like us to take a different approach. Pastor Robert J. Morgan is bent on helping people remember the foundations of faith that made America. His new book is a biblical American history lesson, called, "100 Bible Verses That Made America". On this episode of Lighthouse Faith Podcast, Morgan explains that his reason for writing such a book, is to remind people that the Bible is woven in and through America's conception and birth, and throughout its life.Starting in the 16th century with the arrival to the New World of the Spanish Conquistadors, a missionary named Antonio de Montesinos, quotes Mathew 3:3 to those who would treat the native inhabitants cruelly, recognizing that they too are made in God's image. And in the prologue, reminds us that America's first president, George Washington, kissed the sacred Scriptures at his inauguration. There are 98 more defining moments in America's history where the Bible is quoted as a source strength, compassion, mercy and light. There's so much debate today about whether or not America is a Christian nation. But for Morgan, there is no debate that the Holy Bible formed the basis of our Republic's beliefs about freedom and liberty.

In this learning about the Polish podcast, I'm talking about Spanish Conquistadors sailed beyond Europe to the Americas. Today, many Latin Americans believe that the Spaniards have committed a crime against humanity. Was the conquest really a crime against humanity? Of course, you can read while listening, and there is a Polish transcription available for active members, so I'm sure you will learn a lot of Polish from this podcast.

Falconry: Historic Relationship of Human, Dog and Bird of Prey   Steve Layman with a Siberian Goshawk. http://www.whidbeynewstimes.com/news/the-falconer-getting-up-close-and-personal-with-raptors/ (Steve Layman), raptor expert, shares the fascinating history of falconry and its symbiotic relationship between man, dog and bird of prey. Natural history Layman, a zoologist who has worked with raptors and dogs for nearly 60 years, said that the teamwork between bird, handler and dog bridges the mists of time. “It’s a natural history moment,” said Layman, a noted speaker on the training of raptors. He uses operant conditioning methods to train the birds of prey to return to him. But he said the birds often help train the dogs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAcIqqqniYQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAcIqqqniYQ) From http://about-falconry.com/medieval-falconry (Medieval Falconry): “Records of  …taking prey with a trained raptor…. have been found from as early as 2000BC. It is generally accepted that the origins of falconry began in China and Mongolia and then came to Europe later on. In the records of the Spanish Conquistadors, evidence was found to suggest that the Aztecs used trained hawks and falcons although whether this was for hunting no one knows. Aristotle also mentioned falconry twice between 384 and 322 BC. Falconry UK and the rest of Europe began in around 400 AD and quickly became extremely popular. At the time, falconry was less of a sport and more of a necessity than it is nowadays. The art of falconry was taken very seriously as birds of prey were one of the most sophisticated and highly sought after means of hunting for food. The techniques of falconry have stayed the same since the very early years. Medieval Falconry was much the same in practice as it is now and if you look at the picture from the 1240s you may well see that the perches, leashes, swivels and jesses are almost identical to the ones we use today.” More information: https://www.thefield.co.uk/gundogs/hawking-with-dogs-21578 (https://www.thefield.co.uk/gundogs/hawking-with-dogs-21578) http://www.pfht.org/falconry/dogs-in-falconry/ (http://www.pfht.org/falconry/dogs-in-falconry/)   Support this podcast

After Spanish conquistadors crossed the Rio Grande In the 1500s, they built a string of native missions in an area that would later become San Antonio.

Raw Milk is milk that hasn't been changed or adulterated in any way. It's been drunk by everyone from the Israelites of the Bible, to the Romans, to the Spanish Conquistadors, and finally, to us. But, somehow we've decided in the last 90 years or so that 4 millenia of milk drinkers had it wrong. Raw milk is actually super dangerous, or so the American medical and political establishment would have you believe. Today's episode is the first of a 3 part series. Today I just wanted to cover the basics. I attempt to answer one main question: Why is raw milk better for you? Next week I'll be taking you through the history of the controversy... covering everything from time immemorial through about 1912. It's a tall order, but I think I can manage.

Known as the first Empire, this great city ran afoul of the gods and was destroyed over 10,000 years ago. Despite expeditions made by everyone from Spanish Conquistadors to Nazis, there’s no proof the Atlantis actually ever existed.  Parcasters - Have you checked out Mythology yet? This week we tell the story of Poseidon's son, Bellerophon, and his quest to ride the mythical Pegasus. Available now at parcast.com/mythology 

   In my opinion, Mark has written the book to read before your trip to Machu Picchu.  It includes the history of the Incas and the Spanish Conquistadors plus the story of Hiram Bingham, the Yale lecturer whose expedition in 1911 found the ruins of the Incan site.    The book also follows Mark (a self professed 'Martini Explorer') as he retraces the steps of Bingham's Peruvian expeditions.    Did you know that there is a 'back door' to Machu Picchu? Or that there are many more Incan ruins to discover in Peru?  Find out more in our interview with Mark Adams, author of Turn RIght at Machu Picchu Travel With Hawkeye website        

The Spanish conquistadors have rightly been called out for their brutal treatment and enslavement of native populations. But did they behave worse than the Aztecs?

In this episode of Insanely Haunted, we're joined by our friend Evan, a real live actual Electrical Engineer (something that ould definitely make Bill Chappel sweat if he was here reading this - we're coming for you, Bill.) Today's destination is the La Purisima Mission in Southern California, with a complex and nuanced history of strained relationships between the local Chumash tribe and the invading Spanish Conquistadors. Of course Zak fucks it up, you didn't even have to ask.

The fundamental flaw in our civilization is that it’s convinced itself that it’s the best way to live. But there are cracks in the drywall. In a conversation that starts off about running, veers into politics and concludes with donkeys, Christopher McDougall and I examine the damage.Then, a visit with Paul Sherban, a recent college graduate who rode 4,500 miles on his bicycle in search of slowness, not speed. He rode in effort to forget himself and found that the real lesson he learned was that he couldn’t have done it without the help of the many strangers he met along the way.This episode first aired on WLRI 93 FM on Saturday 3/25/17.From Dec 27, 2016:Christopher McDougall is well known for his 2009 book Born to Run, which, among many other things, tells the story of the Tarahumara (Rarámuri), the tribe who (literally) ran away from the Spanish Conquistadors in the 16th century – and never came back. The book features the stories of several colorful characters including the peripatetic runner known as Caballo Blanco, who died in 2012, the podcaster/antelope-chaser Scott Carrier and the effervescent ultra-runner Scott Jurek. For me, it was singularly important because it convinced me to take off my shoes and run barefoot.Ever since seeing him on The Daily Show and then reading the book, I’ve wanted to ask Chris about the irony of embracing barefoot running in the 21st century, when every single technological advancement (and accompanying advertising) seems to implore us to do otherwise. This notion goes beyond athletics; our culture has deliberately forgotten myriad practices that our ancestors employed tens of thousands of years ago. Are we better off as a result? Chris and I seem to agree that we’re not.Chris has recently taken up another ancestral activity: animal partnerships. As he details in his New York Times series “Running With Sherman,” Chris’s latest endeavor is burro-running, which more than anything else requires a quality our culture seems to devalue: patience.  He’s currently working on a book about this venture, to accompany Born to Run and Natural Born Heroes (2015).http://samschindler.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/WWWA_035_Running_Riding_032517.mp3DOWNLOAD this episodeSUBSCRIBE to this podcast See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We're told that potatoes aren't good for us. It's true if you're talking about GMO potatoes, which most people eat these days without ever knowing it. Please don't ever eat GMO anything. But grown traditionally—unsprayed and certified organic—potatoes can not only be good for you, they can be great. You see, potatoes belong to a very special yet little-known category of food known as safe starches. These safe starches are far removed from the grains and cereals that make us fat and foster degenerative diseases. I'll tell you more about them in a moment. Meanwhile, it's time to celebrate the humble potato and its wonderful gifts. Potatoes come in more than 100 varieties. They can be prepared in almost as many forms—steamed, boiled, baked, sautéed, or what have you. The botanical name for potatoes is Solanum tuberosum. They were introduced to Europeans in 1621, when Spanish Conquistadors brought them back from South America, where they'd been cultivated since 8000 BC. Seafaring men relied heavily on them as a source of Vitamin C to protect sailors from scurvy. Potatoes are now the fourth largest crop grown throughout the world. They're good for supplying you with important B complex vitamins, especially vitamin B5, B6, niacin, and folate. They're also full of minerals like phosphorous, potassium, magnesium, copper and iron as well as antioxidants, phytonutrients, carotenoids and flavonoids. In 1995, the heroic potato was the first vegetable to be grown in space, to feed astronauts on long space voyages. Now let's take a look at where some of the false beliefs, which have undermined our appreciation for organic potatoes, come from. I think you'll find this interesting. You may not know that for thousands upon thousands of years, our ancestors lived not in forests as we have been told, but in grasslands. They survived by digging up tubers, roots and corms—all of which are ancestors to today's potato. Early man relied heavily on these starchy plants which today are known as safe starches. What scientists now call the Paleolithic diet was made up of 15 to 20% of these foods dug from the ground, eaten with 50 to 70% of fatty animal-based foods, including insects, eggs, birds, reptiles, and creatures from the sea. Then, along came Loren Cordain, who is considered the father of the Paleolithic diet. He made a few inaccurate assumptions. He claimed that our ancestors never ate starchy root vegetables—something we know now to be simply untrue. By the way, Cordain is said to have greased his pots with canola oil—heaven forbid—and washed down his Paleo meals with diet soda. What he apparently didn't do was delve deep enough into the vast research now available in regard to diets of primitive peoples from experts like Samuel Hearne, Weston Price, Stefansson, and Cabeza de Vaca. Anyway, here's the truth: Early humans were genetically programmed to thrive on these starches—a group to which our modern potato now belongs. We still are today. Safe starches include white rice, potatoes, sago, tapioca, and sweet potatoes. Grown organically, all of these foods can help improve digestive health. But they need to be cooked gently, so any natural plant toxins—which all plants contain to some degree—become neutralized. By the way, brown rice is not considered a safe starch since the phytin it contains can interfere with the absorption of certain minerals and provoke an immune response. There are no known autoimmune antibodies generated by white rice protein. When it comes to potatoes, you will want to store them in a cool dark place. The unwanted solanine and chaconine toxins that they contain are activated if you expose them to light and heat. It's equally important that you throw away any potatoes that may have become discolored or are no longer fresh.

Jon Shafer returns to the show to talk with Rob and Troy about revisionist history. Everyone thinks the Spanish Conquistadors were jerks, but let's not forget the behavior of the waffling Belgians. Also, where are all the World War I games?

The Character of Americanism. To understand the Character of Americanism, we will discuss how the Spanish came to the New World as conquerers, and the English came as entrepreneurs. We will examine the difference between the Spanish Conquistadors, and the English Charters, and how that contributed to American exceptionalism.  We will also discuss Religious Freedom in America, and the early idea of State Sovereignty. Through the Constitution with Douglas V. Gibbs

Five hundred years ago the Spanish Conquistadors enslaved the population of South America in their desperate efforts to squeeze more gold and silver from the mines of Peru, Chile and Mexico. Today the industry is booming again, driven by the global demand for copper and the rising price of precious metals.
