The Sphinx Without a Secret by Oscar Wilde — A Calming Bedtime Story for Sleep & Insomnia | Books at Bedtime A soothing bedtime story to help you drift off tonight: Oscar Wilde's quietly haunting tale The Sphinx Without a Secret, read slowly and gently for sleep, insomnia relief, and unhurried listening. This continues the Books at Bedtime strand — also known as Coffee Break for the Soul — from the Calming Anxiety podcast, a series of classic story readings designed as a calming audiobook for restless or anxious nights. For the full library, plus ambient night-light features for the small hours, download Anchored on iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anchored-panic-anxiety/id6785035669 Narrated softly by Martin Hewlett, clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic, this reading follows Lord Murchison, who confides in an old Oxford friend over dinner in Paris about a mysterious widow he has fallen for in London, a woman wrapped in secrecy who insists her letters go to a lending library rather than her own home. A slow, unhurried mystery rather than anything unsettling — ideal as a sleep story or relaxation audiobook for falling asleep, insomnia, and quieting an anxious mind before bed. First published under the title "Lady Alroy" in 1887, and later renamed The Sphinx Without a Secret by Wilde himself when it was collected in Lord Arthur Savile's Crime and Other Stories in 1891, this Oscar Wilde tale is in the public domain worldwide (Wilde died in 1900); this reading is Calming Anxiety's own narration of the classic public-domain text. This episode continues the Books at Bedtime strand, alongside The Selfish Giant and The Happy Prince (also by Oscar Wilde) and classic short fiction from Katherine Mansfield, Kate Chopin, and Arthur Conan Doyle — currently working through The Hound of the Baskervilles — with new instalments added regularly to the main Calming Anxiety feed.
What I learned from reading Distant Force: A Memoir of the Teledyne Corporation and The Man Who Created It by George Roberts and The Outsiders by William Thorndike. Made possible by: Ramp: https://ramp.com Applovin: https://www.applovin.com Vanta: https://vanta.com/founders Some of my favorite quotes: 0:00 — "He aggressively repurchased his stock, eventually buying over ninety percent of Teledyne's shares." 0:45 — "He was known as The Sphinx for his reluctance to speak with either analysts or journalists." 1:25 — Charlie Munger: "Singleton's financial returns were a mile higher than anyone else's, that they were utterly ridiculous." 2:00 — Buffett: "The heads of many companies are not skilled in capital allocation. Their inadequacy is not surprising. Most bosses rise to the top because they've excelled in an area such as marketing, production, engineering, administration, or sometimes institutional politics." 4:10 — Singleton: "Our conclusion was that the key was cash flow. Our attitude towards cash generation and asset management came out of our own thinking. It is not copied." 4:30 — Buffett: "Henry Singleton has the best operating and capital deployment record in American business. If one took the hundred top business school graduates and made a composite of their triumphs, their record would not be as good as Singleton's." 9:40 — Singleton: "If anyone wants to follow Teledyne, they should get used to the fact that our quarterly earnings will jiggle. Our accounting is set to maximize cash flow, not reported earnings." 10:50 — Singleton believed buying stock at attractive prices was self-catalyzing, analogous to coiling a spring that at some future point would surge forward to realize full value." 11:50 — Singleton: "I don't reserve any day-to-day responsibilities for myself, so I don't get into any particular rut. I do not define my job in any rigid terms, but in terms of having the freedom to do whatever seems to be in the best interest of the company at any time." 14:35 — Singleton: "If everyone's doing them, there must be something wrong with them." (on share repurchases by Fortune 500 companies) 26:30 — Singleton: "Teledyne is like a living plant, with our companies as the different branches and each putting out new branches and growing so that no one business is too significant." 28:35 — Singleton: "We work our heads off to increase our own capability at collecting and promoting the right people. To the extent that we succeed, the whole company will succeed." 32:30 — "What's unique about him is that I'll ask him a question about one of these companies that I've asked him to supervise, and he always knows the exact numerical answer. That's the kind of fellow that you pick who runs a company and does it well." 35:00 — Singleton: "There are tremendous values in the stock market, but in buying stocks, not entire companies. Buying companies tends to raise the purchase price too high." 41:35 — Claude Shannon on Singleton: "He always tries to work out the best moves, and maybe he doesn't like to talk too much because when you're playing a game, you don't tell anyone else what your strategy is." 42:00 — Singleton: "We are not particularly persuaded by quick, temporary gains. We'd rather get something permanent, and that takes time." 44:40 — Munger: "Henry Singleton was the smartest single human being I've ever known in my entire life." 45:00 — Munger: "Henry was a lot smarter, but Warren had thought about investments a lot longer."

From mind-bending explorations of the brain as a simulation and the psychology of storytelling to the latest frontiers of space travel, ancient mysteries like the Sphinx and Nazca lines, and the murky waters of underwater craft and black triangle UFOs, this show leaves no stone unturned. We dissect high-level government disclosures, the creeping edge of conspiracy and propaganda, and the profound societal shifts happening right now—including theological debates on UAPs and whether we are on the verge of monumental archaeological and extraterrestrial revelations. On this show: Reality and memory are a brain simulation Aliens will arrive on Earth in 2026 according to Baba Vanga Could they be on the verge of finding the Ark of the Covenant? Has negative time proven to be real? Scientist discovers fast way to travel to Mars Are conspiracy theories pushing people down into far-right propaganda? Tim Burchett says if the UAP files are released, society would become unglued ARE UFO/UAP's demons, or are they scaring you to recruit you to their religion AI doubles the discovery of Nazca lines Do declassified CIA records show proof of an underground chamber beneath Egypt's Sphinx?

Some famous landmarks might not be around forever, so catch them while you can! The Statue of Liberty is facing threats from rising sea levels, and the Sphinx in Giza is slowly being eroded by pollution and wind. The Eiffel Tower, despite being made of iron, is susceptible to rust and wear over time. The Taj Mahal is battling pollution and a weakening foundation. These iconic sites are at risk, so visiting them sooner rather than later is a good idea! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
“And today we're talking about a sphinx with a fascinating riddle. But more on that later.” What happens to the very hungry caterpillar in the last pages of the book? “He stayed inside for more than two weeks,” it says… but did he really stay? Did he remain?

Hard News on Friday with Tara Green and Rama Arjuna and guests Mayan Energies, Eclipse Aftermath, Mother Sekhmet, and the Sirius–Isis Meditation Rainbird, Tara, and Rama guide listeners through a spiritually focused edition of Hard News on Friday featuring a Mayan day-count meditation, listener-supported housekeeping, metaphysical commentary on planetary and political events, Alexander Quinn's teaching on the August 12 solar eclipse, a channeled Mother Sekhmet segment, and Steve Nobel's guided meditation on Sirius, Isis, and the balance of divine feminine and masculine energies. Rainbird's Opening Meditation and the Seven Galactic Directions Rainbird opens the program with breathing, heart-centered awareness, a council-fire visualization, and an invocation of the seven galactic directions in the Mayan tradition. The meditation welcomes the Houses of Light, Night, Transformation, Eternal Sun, Paradise, Earth, and the central galactic source. Rainbird then introduces the Yellow Magnetic Star as the beginning of a new thirteen-day wave associated with beauty, art, elegance, purpose, unity, and visionary energy. The Mayan Day-Count and Weekly Spiritual Themes Rainbird continues with an energetic forecast for the coming week, moving through the Red Moon, White Electric Dog, Blue Self-Existing Monkey, Yellow Overtone Human, Red Rhythmic Skywalker, Yellow Resonant Warrior, and the Eagle. Each day is associated with themes such as spiritual guidance, unconditional love, healing the past, balancing work and play, cosmic consciousness, self-illumination, integrity, service, and seeing the larger picture. The segment repeatedly encourages listeners to release fear, doubt, control, anger, disconnection, and overreliance on the analytical mind. Listener Support, BBS Radio, and Program Housekeeping The program shifts into housekeeping and donation information. Rainbird says the show is listener-supported, explains how to donate through the BBS Radio program pages, and mentions the related Saturday program concerning true history, NESARA, and galactic origins. She also provides support information for Tara and Rama, including PayPal, mailing, website, and GoFundMe references. The transcript itself advises verifying all donation addresses, amounts, schedules, and contact details before publication. Tara and Rama: Violet Flame, Ancient Cycles, and Planetary Change Tara and Rama enter with commentary about shifting timelines, the violet flame, world peace, ancient Anunnaki stories, and the completion of a 26,000-year galactic cycle. They refer to figures including Enki, Enlil, Ninhursag, Isis, Osiris, Quetzalcoatl, Lord Morya, Kuthumi, and Saint Germain. Their message emphasizes compassion, neutrality, shadow work, and sending love to people and systems they believe are undergoing spiritual collapse and transformation. These claims are presented as the hosts' metaphysical interpretation of current events. Kilauea, Earth Changes, and the Call to “Send More Love” The hosts connect Kilauea, earthquakes, possible storms, Washington, D.C., climate disruption, and collective consciousness within a spiritual framework centered on Mother Gaia. They suggest that volcanic and planetary activity reflects deeper energetic change and urge listeners to respond by reducing conflict and sending more love. The transcript identifies these earthquake, volcanic, climate, political, and extraterrestrial statements as unverified speaker content rather than factual reporting. Alexander Quinn: The August 12 Solar Eclipse as a Trigger The show plays an extended clip attributed to Alexander Quinn, who argues that the August 12 solar eclipse should be understood as a trigger rather than a completed event. He compares the eclipse to a stone striking a still lake, with energetic ripples continuing long after the initial impact. Quinn says major changes may first appear internally through altered perceptions, exhaustion, dreams, emotional shifts, changing tolerance, relationship realizations, or dissatisfaction before becoming visible in physical life. Alexander Quinn: Eclipse Season, Identity, and Physical Reorganization Quinn connects the solar eclipse with identity, visibility, self-expression, endings, and beginnings, and says it can intensify situations that were already developing. He describes the period as a corridor between the solar eclipse and a later lunar eclipse in Pisces, with the first initiating change and the second revealing emotional consequences. He cautions that he is not claiming eclipses directly cause earthquakes, war, or volcanic eruptions, but believes collective events may mirror energetic pressure and reorganization. Mother Sekhmet: Accountability, Peace, and the Quantum Field After a conference-call transition, the program moves into a channeled segment involving Mother Sekhmet. The segment discusses intergalactic councils, accelerating time, accountability, disclosure, the multiverse, climate disruption, peace, greed, the quantum field, and the interconnectedness of humans, animals, Earth, and other beings. It repeatedly argues that conflict no longer serves humanity and that those described as “wayward children” require compassion, healing, and a return to balance. Rama's Vision of Earth's Sub-Etheric Generators Following the channeled segment, Rama describes visionary experiences involving Taos Mountain, the Sphinx, and Mount Kailash. He says he perceived a planetary hum connected with living sub-etheric generators established by ancient watchers to stabilize Earth and keep it functioning within normal parameters. These statements are part of the program's spiritual and visionary content and are not presented as independently verified scientific claims. Steve Nobel: Sirius, Isis, and the Return of Goddess Energy The closing outside audio segment is attributed to Steve Nobel. He discusses the annual opening of the Sirius portal, Lemuria, Atlantis, patriarchy, the historical suppression of goddess traditions, and the return of divine feminine power. He associates Sirius with the Egyptian goddess Isis and Orion with Osiris, interpreting their celestial relationship as a symbol of sacred union and the rebalancing of feminine and masculine energies. Steve Nobel's Seven-Chakra Sirius–Isis Meditation Nobel concludes with a guided meditation inviting the light of Sirius and the power of Isis into the crown, third eye, throat, heart, solar plexus, sacral, and base chakras. Each chakra is connected with a spiritual quality, including universal communion, vision, expression, love, boundaries, intimacy, sensuality, and connection with the Earth. The meditation culminates in an imagined inner marriage between divine feminine and divine masculine energies, followed by blessings and the hosts' closing namaste.

My friend Mareesa joins us again on PT to discuss art, integration, psychedelic experiences without drugs, the heros journey and her smaller sphinxes that may start touring the country! Enjoy! Here are some machine generated shownotes if you find them useful! Show Notes Sphinx Gate began as a pair of monumental 34-foot sculptures at Burning Man. Now, Mareesa Stertz and her collaborators are developing smaller, portable versions that could bring the experience to festivals, conferences, and communities around the country. The installation is designed as a sober rite of passage—one that draws on psychedelic experience without requiring anyone to take a drug. Participants move through four portals centered on the mind, body, heart, and destiny. Along the way, they are invited to identify a recurring personal story, notice how it lives in the body, meet it with greater compassion, and consider what might exist beyond it. Mareesa and Joe explore how the project draws from the Hero's Journey, Carl Jung's concept of individuation, participatory art, ritual, somatic awareness, and the riddles traditionally associated with the sphinx. They also discuss the importance of community in psychedelic integration, the stories and inherited beliefs that disrupt self-trust, and why healing is rarely the result of one dramatic experience. The conversation expands into peer support, the Global Psychedelic Society, the risks of presenting psychedelics as a quick fix, and the challenge of remaining fully human as artificial intelligence becomes more embedded in everyday life.

Want to reach out to us? Want to leave a comment or review? Want to give us a suggestion or berate Anthony? Send us a text by clicking this link!The older we make “creation,” the easier it gets to picture God as distant, hands-off, and only occasionally involved. That's the nerve we keep pressing with our guest Christian as we dig into why Genesis isn't just a timeline question, but a question about revelation, providence, and what God wants us to know about him through the way he creates.We walk through the Catholic case that the Church Fathers and scholastic theologians aren't optional background reading on creation, but central witnesses to how Christians historically understood Scripture. From there we tackle the modern pressure points: why “trust the science” often turns into a one-way authority claim, why debates about evolution and old earth assumptions reshape theology downstream, and why the burden of proof matters when scientific models rely on interpretation and starting premises.Then we get concrete. We talk dinosaurs and the controversy around soft tissue and hemoglobin claims, what uniformitarian geology assumes, and why radiometric dating ends up carrying so much weight in the modern story. We also connect creation to the Fall by asking what millions of years of suffering and predation before Adam would mean for original sin and nature's relationship to humanity. Finally, we pivot to Graham Hancock, global flood memory, ancient structures across cultures, and the Sphinx weathering question, highlighting where alternative history is strongest and where it gets methodologically sloppy.If you enjoy thoughtful Catholic apologetics, Genesis interpretation, creation theology, and honest friction with mainstream narratives, hit subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave us a review so more people can find the show.Support the showGet 10% off an amazing Black Monk Rosary by going to https://www.blackmonkrosaries.com/?ref=AVOIDINGBABYLON and using code AVOIDINGBABYLON at checkout!Check out our sponsor, Nic Nac, at www.nicnac.com and use code "AB25%" for 25% off of your first order!Please subscribe! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKsxnv80ByFV4OGvt_kImjQ?sub_confirmation=1https://www.avoidingbabylon.comMerchandise: https://avoiding-babylon-shop.fourthwall.comLocals Community: https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comFull Premium/Locals Shows on Audio Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1987412/subscribeRSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rss
Interview starts at 27:50 The Secrets Beneath: New Discoveries in Egyptian Monuments & Cutting-Edge Tech In this episode, Darren Grimes hosts George Howard of Cosmic Tusk to delve into the latest groundbreaking research on the Egyptian Sphinx, the possibility of undiscovered underground chambers, and how modern technology like MRI, satellite imaging, and AI are transforming archaeology. The conversation also explores water level changes, ancient climate events, and the search for Atlantis. He's deeply embedded in alternative history, cosmic impact research (Younger Dryas boundary hypothesis), and discussions of lost/advanced ancient civilizations. His platform regularly covers topics like Plato's Atlantis, pre-flood knowledge, and suppressed archaeology. He has interviewed or collaborated with researchers on these themes (including recent conversations linking back to Atlantis interpretations with guests like Randall Carlson). https://cosmictusk.com/about-george/ https://www.youtube.com/@cosmicsummit English Translation of the Presentation. https://youtu.be/rUl0G7N2iGk?si=Z2mZ5PGFfx1Gq9Qx Key Topics: The recent presentation and hypotheses about a second Sphinx hidden beneath the Giza plateau, supported by modern imaging technology The use of satellite imagery, LiDAR, and underground scans to locate buried structures without invasive digging Interviews with experts like Filippo Beyondi and Corrado Malonga, and their role in advancing this research The controversy and skepticism within the archaeological community regarding new discoveries and interpretations The potential evidence for ancient water floods, such as the Younger Dryas impact, water erosion patterns, and the possibility of submerged civilizations The technological leap in geoscience: how tools such as MRI, SAR, and AI are revealing subsurface features at unprecedented detail The implications of these findings for understanding Earth's history, climate change, and ancient civilizations like Atlantis The upcoming expansion of the Cosmic Summit into Titan Network, supporting creators and new scientific revelations The ongoing excavation developments at sites like Hawara, Egypt, and the importance of future physical digs alongside remote sensing Become a Lord or Lady with 1k donations over time.

Ancient Egypt isn't just something you read about in a school history book or see in an old Elizabeth Taylor movie. It was a real, thriving civilization filled with people who lived, loved, worked, governed, worshipped, and left behind evidence that they had been there. Millennia later, we still know their stories because someone took the time to document, preserve, and pass them on.Standing in a papyrus gallery in modern-day Egypt and learning how ancient writings survived for thousands of years made me think differently about personal branding. Your personal brand helps preserve your ideas, your work, and the story of the impact you made. It also gives you the opportunity to shape that story for yourself instead of leaving someone else to define what you are known for.In Part 2 of my Paula Out of Africa series, I'm taking you through the Egyptian leg of my trip, from Cairo and the Nile to the Grand Egyptian Museum, the pyramids, and the Sphinx. I'm sharing why joy belongs in your personal brand, how your vision can expand before anyone else sees it, and why documenting your expertise matters if you want your work to continue speaking when you are no longer in the room.If you have ever assumed your work will speak for itself, this episode makes the case for giving it a voice.2:03 – How Paula's arrival in Egypt was completely different from when she first set foot in Kenya5:02 – Real joy as a brand asset and credibility as a reward for authentically expressing it7:24 – How a photo taken on a dock overlooking the Nile expanded Paula's vision for her brand8:40 – Highlights from the breathtaking Grand Egyptian Museum tour10:54 – The importance of owning your story and not letting others define your professional reputation12:54 – What ancient paper can teach you about showcasing and protecting your expertise (and legacy)15:31 – A valuable business reminder from vendors hustling outside the pyramids17:16 – Why building a stronger personal brand might start with leaving your calendar behindMentioned In Paula Out of Africa, Part 2: Egypt and What Your Personal Brand PreservesPaula Out of Africa, Part 1: Kenya, Wonder, and the Brand You're BecomingPaula's Cairo Photo AlbumNational Bar AssociationGrand Egyptian MuseumCurated Resources from PaulaSign up for Paula's Upcoming Events Learn More About Paula's Personal Branding Strategy Session OfferSubscribe to The Branding Room Only podcast on YouTubeCall to ActionFollow & Review: If you enjoyed this episode, leave a 5-star review on your favorite podcast platform!

A brand new episode of Elpodcasters with renowned Egyptologist and historical researcher Bassam El Shammaa, where we dive into some of the most fascinating and controversial mysteries of Ancient Egypt. Was there really a Second Sphinx? Could the Great Sphinx be older than the Pyramids? And are there still undiscovered secrets hidden beneath the Giza Plateau? In this episode, Bassam El Shammaa shares the research, evidence, and historical sources behind his theories. We explore the concept of duality in Ancient Egyptian civilization, the Dream Stele, the Inventory Stela, the mysterious "Yellow Spot," and the theory of the Second Sphinx. We also discuss how to separate historical evidence from speculation and why questioning long-held assumptions is an essential part of archaeology. The conversation also covers the true meaning of the title "Pharaoh," the Sphinx Temple, the Eye of Horus, the myth of the Bride of the Nile, ancient Egyptian beliefs about the afterlife, Tutankhamun's meteoritic iron dagger, the mysterious Disk of Prince Sabu, hieroglyphics, and many other incredible facts about one of the world's greatest civilizations.

In the seventh and penultimate 15 minutes of our screenplay treatment, Napoleon is back in France to go for the top prize - power. But his bid for his ultimate goal is not going to be straightforward and he has to accept that in order to achieve this, he'll have to put aside romantic dreams and do what matters to get this one last job done. That means a new approach to his unfaithful wife Josephine; a reckoning with our antagonist Paul Barras; and a new kind of battlefield - the Council of Five Hundred.Yes, it's episode eight of our screenwriting escapade, in which we continue to forge ahead in our mission of crafting a top-notch screenplay treatment about the life of Napoleon Bonaparte. Alex Stevenson is joined by James Topham (who knows a thing or two about screenwriting) and Ben Deery (who knows a thing or two about acting) to put the movie world to rights. Having analysed the pitfalls and frustrations of Ridley Scott's Napoleon 2023 in the first season the Napoleon Movie Quarter-Hourly, this time round the team have to come up with the magic themselves.As our resident artificial aide-de-camp NAIpoleon Bot-aparte puts it:Alex Stevenson introduces the climax phase of the Napoleon screenplay project and acknowledges the contributions of James Topham and Ben Deery 00:00.Ben Deery revisits an underappreciated Sphinx joke from previous episodes, sparking playful banter about comedic appreciation 00:01:16.James Topham recaps the emotional and psychological journey of Napoleon in Act 2, culminating in a brutal turning point during the Egyptian campaign 00:03:01.Introduction and breakdown of Act 3 structure: the internal-external conflict resolution, new plans, and the heightened sense of sacrifice Napoleon must undergo 00:10:03.Deep dive into the historical coup of Brumaire, exploring how Napoleon's ambiguous resolve and political struggles can be mapped onto the screenplay's climax 00:13:01.Discussion of antagonist dynamics: Paul Barras must return as a strong opposition for the final act, including possible narrative liberties to heighten his role 00:24:28.Insight into the B story: Napoleon and Josephine's tumultuous reunion, tying personal and political stakes together in a pivotal emotional scene 00:34:05.Reference to classic films and psychological theories (e.g., High Society, Taxi Driver, Madonna-Whore complex) to illustrate character developments and narrative arcs 00:39:34.Strategizing the depiction of the coup's high-stakes drama—physical peril, the threat of the guillotine, and how to visually and emotionally convey Napoleon's critical risk 00:52:13.Closing with an explanation of the filmic denouement: what “new normal” the world and characters face after Napoleon's victory, and teaser for the next episode's focus on wrapping up the screenplay 00:54:54.Help us produce more episodes by supporting the Napoleonic Quarterly on Patreon: patreon.com/napoleonicquarterly
Psi-explorer Jonathan Womack reveals evidence that Earth, Mars, the Great Sphinx, and mysterious monuments worldwide may be part of an unimaginably vast work of intelligent design created by cosmic architects millions of years ago. ________________________________________ Watch Now: • Jonathan's astonishing lucid dream encounter with three mysterious beings who revealed a hidden cosmic reality.• Why the Great Sphinx, pyramids, arches, mountains, and landscapes contain far more meaning than mainstream archaeology recognizes.• Evidence suggesting Earth and Mars may be covered in massive works of intelligent planetary-scale art.• The Infinity Art Theory and its implications for consciousness, extraterrestrial architects, and humanity's forgotten history.What if everything we've been taught about Earth is incomplete? What if mountains, arches, pyramids, canyons, and entire continents are not simply products of geology and erosion... but remnants of an unimaginably ancient intelligence? My guest spent over 60 years exploring consciousness through out-of-body experiences, lucid dreaming, psychic phenomena, and direct encounters with realities beyond the physical world. Then, in 2023, something happened that changed everything. A mysterious encounter with three beings revealed a possibility so extraordinary that it forced him to question everything he thought he knew about Earth, Mars, human history, and the purpose of consciousness itself. Today I'm talking with Jonathan Womack, and exploring the Infinity Art Theory, hidden planetary monuments, cosmic architects from Orion, and why some believe the greatest secret in history has been sitting in plain sight all along.

Trevor Grassi is an independent researcher, world traveler, writer and filmmaker who has been studying and searching for the Hall of Records at Giza for nearly two decades. In the past few years he has worked closely with civil engineer and 'Gizatologist', William Brown, at Giza to reveal evidence of underground structures very close to the Sphinx and throughout the plateau. They have shared never-before-seen ground penetrating radar scans, photos, videos, and personal accounts of the subterranean network of tunnels and chambers that are likely connected to the record chambers described by Edgar Cayce. They are planning an excavation project at the most promising locations in the near future, and have released a three part documentary series entitled The Secret Underworld of Giza.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4-LIVLrfgo&t=675sBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Talk Python To Me - Python conversations for passionate developers
Your documentation has two audiences now - humans reading the rendered HTML, and AI agents trying to make sense of your library. Rich Iannone and Michael Chow from Posit are back on Talk Python with a brand new Python documentation tool called Great Docs that takes both seriously. Rich is the creator of Great Tables, and before that the R package GT, the man has a serious eye for design, and he's pointed that energy at the Python docs ecosystem. We'll talk about how Great Docs spins up a polished site in three commands, why every page ships as Markdown for your favorite LLM, how it leans on Quarto for executable code blocks and tabbed install sections, and where it lands against Sphinx, MkDocs, and Zensical. Plus, you'll meet Tablin. Here we go.

The U.S. government just dumped a sealed cache of UAP files on May 8th — and the same week, a CIA-affiliated physicist went on Diary of a CEO and claimed there are four separate species of non-human intelligence being held in a black program that's run for 80 years outside Congressional oversight. So I sat down with Bobby — my most grounded, skeptical friend, and one of the original co-hosts of this show — to talk through it with no script.We get into Trump's PURSUE reporting system and the Pursue.gov data drop, the Age of Disclosure documentary as possible mass-preparation psyop, Hal Puthoff and the "Grays, Nordics, Insectoids, Reptilians" claim, the suspicious death of aerospace engineer Amy Eskridge and the wave of missing NASA scientists, Chris Bledsoe's orb encounters, Filippo Bondi's radar scans revealing a possible second Sphinx and Hall of Records under the Giza plateau, and Edgar Cayce's 1932 prophecy that may have just come true.Bobby pushes back. I push forward. Somewhere in the middle is the truth.If this conversation moves you, share it with one person who needs to hear it.

A spiritual school in Victoria teaches that we each have a spiritual guide who we can rely on to help us through life, and that the couple who run the school – Ian and Pearl Rogers – sit on a council alongside entities who have lived many lifetimes before this one. Students are lucky enough to gain access to incredible knowledge through this council, which boasts Leonardo Da Vinci, Mahatma Gandhi, and Lady Di amongst its members. But forum posts dating back to 2012 allege that Sphinx Spiritual has been operating as a cult for many years. It's only now that former members have started speaking out.Part 2 is already available to Patreon supporters, and will be released on the main feed on Wednesday 27 May.Full research sources listed here.

NASA discovers terrifying “Little Red Eyes” deep in space, the White House releases bizarre star-shaped UFO footage, erased Bible pages mysteriously reappear after 1,500 years, and a Ugandan witch doctor trial erupts into chaos when a swarm of bees attacks a courthouse. Dave Schrader and Greg “The Paranormal Detective” Lawson uncover the week's strangest paranormal news stories involving UFOs, ancient mysteries, alternate realities, hidden chambers beneath the Sphinx, cattle mutilations, supernatural legends, and the growing fear that reality itself may be far stranger than we've been told on this edition of The Paranormal 60 News.

From explosive UFO disclosures and mysterious “angelic” craft to missing scientists, biblical prophecy, and eerie near-death visions, this week's Paranormal Report goes deep into the strange stories dominating headlines and sparking intense debate online. Jim and Dar break down the newly released government UFO files, including footage that even seasoned researchers found unsettling, while asking whether the truth is finally slipping out or still being carefully managed behind the scenes. They also explore chilling claims involving NASA scientists, ancient secrets hidden beneath the Sphinx, and whether ancient prophecies may be colliding with modern events in ways few expected. Plus, the conversation turns deeply personal as Jim and Dar discuss how covering these stories week after week has begun to change the way they see reality itself.

Randall reads from a published paper that attempts to date the Great Pyramid using erosion patterns on foundation blocks that used to be partly covered by casing stones. Because we can pinpoint the time the casing stones were removed to within a few years, the erosion on the stone that used to be protected by the now-missing casing stones can be used to establish a baseline for the amount of time required for such erosion to occur. This can be compared to the erosion on the portions of the stone that was never protected, and thus a date for construction can be estimated. This leads us to studies on limestone erosion in general, and the evidence for catastrophic flooding along the Nile Valley, which leads us back to the Sphinx, and the erosion seen in the enclosure walls around it.

www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcastThe FULL Pyramids Compilation (5 EPs in one)The show's 100th episode. What started as a milestone special turned into five full episodes, hours of debate, and one of the most spirited arguments in podcast history. Now it's all in one place.Eric, Sean, and Jorge dive headfirst into the greatest mystery in human history: Who built the Great Pyramids of Giza — and how the hell did they do it?Part 1 — The History: Before the conspiracies, lay the foundation. The Nile River, the Old Kingdom, the pharaohs, and a timeline that puts the Great Pyramid in perspective. It was built before coins, before paper, before the domestication of horses in Africa — and Cleopatra was closer in time to us than to the pyramids.Parts 2 & 3 — Sean's Episodes: Sean comes in swinging with 20 pages of things that don't add up. The Great Pyramid's near-perfect alignment with True North (off by 0.05 degrees — more precise than the Washington Monument). Pi and the Golden Ratio embedded in its dimensions. The Earth's own proportions mirrored in its geometry. Impossible 80-ton granite slabs. Sealed doors discovered by robots. Salt deposits in the Queen's Chamber. And the burning question: if it was just a tomb, where's the body?Part 4 — Eric's Episode: Eric fights back. He makes the case that mankind — skilled, organized, and wildly underestimated — built the pyramids with no alien assistance. He brings evidence: the workers' village, Machu Picchu, the Great Wall of China, the Hoover Dam. His thesis? Human ingenuity has always defied what seems impossible.The Update: Two weeks after Episode 100 aired, news broke of a massive underground complex discovered beneath Giza using satellite radar — interconnected chambers, spiraling shafts, and cylindrical voids stretching nearly two kilometers underground. We had to come back. Everything's on the table again.History, mystery, bad diagrams, and a few things we still can't explain.

Ever since Mark Frost saw his actor father prepare all day for work, having to leave every evening to jump on stage, he knew he wanted to get his work done early in the morning. A life as a writer came calling. He's worked on all sorts, writing on 'Hill Street Blues', the 'Fantastic Four' movies, sports books, thriller novels, and it's his work with David Lynch, as the co-creator of the cult series, 'Twin Peaks', that he's most loved for.'Twin Peaks' was a show like no-other. A surreal, ethereal, chilling couple of series, that was a ratings win, a critical hit, and now has a cult-following. We discuss how the show, and working with Lynch, has influenced his writing since.His new novel is, 'The Yankee Sphinx', inspired by his great-uncle's diaries, it tells the story of Will Hassett, a close confidence of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States.We talk about how this idea met his fine criteria for working on a project. Also you can hear why, inspired by script-writing, he splits an idea into 3 parts, how he knows when something is done, and we get stories of working with a literary super agent.Get a copy of the novel - uk.bookshop.com/shop/writersroutineThis week's episode is sponsored by IngramSpark.

What if the pyramids were never built to honor the dead, but to keep something buried from ever getting out?In this episode, Tony sits down with researcher and YouTuber, Jay Woodward of WoodwardTV, to dig into one of the most unsettling theories emerging alongside the current wave of UAP disclosure: that massive, ancient craft are buried all over the world and they can't be moved. Jay breaks down his theory of geometric shape power, explaining how the geometric design of structures like the pyramids may function not as tombs or monuments, but as containment fields, ancient prisons engineered to hold entities, craft, and energies too dangerous to destroy. From the tunnels beneath Egypt that have been flooded and filled with concrete, to a craft that was reportedly activated and had to be reburied, Tony and Jay connect the dots between buried ruins, Nephilim lore, the Sphinx, and what may be hiding in plain sight beneath some of the most studied structures on Earth.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.
