Lost Origins

Today, we are pleased to present an unexpected episode of Lost Origins. With Covid-19 forcing us into quarantine, we felt that an episode could help our audience adjust to life in the great indoors. Today, we link up with our good friend, Adam Stokes to discuss the Egyptian origins of America's pyramids, the mound builders of North America, diffusionism, and their interesting connection to the Book of Mormon. You do not want to miss this one. Adam Oliver Stokes is an expert and professor of theology and religion at St. Joseph University. He obtained his B.A. in Religion at Duke University and his Masters of Divinity from Yale Divinity School. He is a regular contributor to Ancient American magazine and his work ranges from ancient American civilizations, the Old Testament and Greco-Roman history, and folklore.

Season three of Lost Origins is arguably the strongest in the show's history. Andrew and CK continued their quest for the truth and connected with some of the leading minds in the historical and investigative space. The two welcomed several new guests onto the show, reconnected with some old friends, journeyed to California for the Conference on Precession and Ancient Knowledge, and so much more. In today's episode, the team closes season by reviewing some of the top moments from recent conversations and share some important information regarding season four.

This week's episode of Lost Origins features all things extraterrestrials and altered reality. This week Andrew and CK link up with Mary Rodwell and the conversation does not disappoint. Mary Rodwell is recognized internationally as one of Australia’s leading researchers and writers in the UFO and contact phenomenon areas. Mary is the author of the highly acclaimed book ‘Awakening: How Extraterrestrial Contact Can Transform Your Life’; and producer of EBE award winning documentaries:- Expressions of ET Contact: A Visual Blueprint, and Expressions of ET Contact: A Communication and Healing Blueprint. Her new book ‘The New Human’ which describes and documents star children was released in late 2016. Mary is the Founder and Principal of Australian Close Encounter Resource Network (ACERN) which was established in 1997 to provide professional counseling, support, hypnotherapy and information to individuals and their families with ‘anomalous’ paranormal experiences and abduction-­‐contact experiences. Mary is also Director and Chair of the Experiencer Support Programs of Dr Edgar Mitchell: Foundation for Research into Extra-­‐terrestrial Encounters; and an advisory Committee member of Exopolitics. Mary also organized the inaugural 'Hidden Truths' international conference held in Perth, Western Australia in 2003. Mary has researched more than 3000 cases and suggests extraterrestrial encounters are a global phenomenon and this is evident in the new humans referred to as star children. Mary affirms that star children exhibit a maturity and wisdom beyond their years and have an awareness and connection to spiritual realms. ‘Indigo’s’ or ‘crystal’ children as they are also known have telepathic abilities, are spiritually awakened, and can describe many species of non-­‐human visitors with a feeling that they are as real to them as their ‘real’ family because they feel supported by them.

On today's episode of Lost Origins, Andrew and CK are able to complete a long-standing goal of the podcast - the two link up with Brien Foerster. A legend in the fields of alternative thought, the Paracas Skulls, lost ancient technologies, Gobekli Tepe, and more, Foerster is a wealth of knowledge. The conversation covers a massive amount of ground and the three discuss droves of enigmatic mysteries from around the globe. Brien Foerster was born in Rochester, Minnesota, U.S.A. but grew up on the west coast of Canada. At age 11, he became fascinated with the Native art of the Haida native people and began carving totem poles, and other related art forms, learning from Native teachers. After completing an Honours Bachelor Of Science degree, Brien decided to take up carving and sculpture full time, at the age of 25. This included the creation of 13 full-size totem poles, dugout canoes, masks, bowls, boxes, and other Native style works. In 1995 he moved to Maui, Hawaii, and was hired as assistant project manager for the building of the 62-foot double-hull sailing canoe (ancestor of the modern-day catamaran ) Mo’okiha O Pi’ilani ( Sacred Lizard That Pierces The Heavens. ) This project lasted 2 years. There, having learned how to make Hawaiian outrigger canoe paddles from master carver Keola Sequiera, he started an online outrigger paddle business, which flourished internationally. Peru became his next major area of interest. The study of the Inca culture led to his writing a book, A Brief History Of The Incas. He has become an authority on the megalithic works of South America and the perplexing ancient Elongated Headed people of the area and divides his time between Paracas and Cusco, Peru.

In this week's episode of Lost Origins, Andrew connects with Tom Carey to discuss all things extraterrestrial. As an authority in the field, Tom obtained his Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of Toronto and is an Air Force veteran who held a top-secret crypto clearance. Tom has served as a Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) State Section Director for Southeastern Pennsylvania from 1986 to 2001 Alongside his partner in crime, Donald Schmitt, the two have co-authored several books including UFO Secrets Inside Wright-Patterson, Witness to Roswell, The Children of Roswell, and The Roswell Incident. While Schmitt was unable to join the call, Andrew and Tom discuss their latest book UFO Secrets Inside Wright-Patterson, the events that began at Roswell's Area 51 and that ended at Wright-Patterson, an ultra-top-secret Air Force base in Dayton, Ohio, and the enigmatic Hangar 18.

This week, Andrew and CK connect with Dr. David Miano. Dr. Miano is well known for his ability to speak to the chronology of the ancient world in a manner that is direct, yet thoughtful. The three discuss some of the common alternative historical theories and Dr. Miano provides Andrew and CK with his take on what we are seeing at play. Dr. David Miano is an ancient historian specializing in the histories of the Near East, Egypt, Greece, Rome, India, and China. He earned my Ph.D. at the University of California, San Diego. He is the author of How to Know Stuff, an e-book designed for the general public, and several anthologies designed for classroom use, including Ideas in the Making: A Sourcebook for World Intellectual History to 1300 and Pen Stylus, and Chisel: An Ancient Egypt Sourcebook. He currently teaches at the State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota. Previously, he taught at the University of California, San Diego, and at San Diego Mesa College. In 2009 Dr. Miano received the Revelle College Outstanding Faculty Award in recognition of his excellence in teaching, and he continues his efforts to improve. Additionally, he is the founder and executive director of Schola Antiquorum, a national, non-profit academic society dedicated to the study of ancient history.

In today's episode of Lost Origins, Andrew and CK link up with season two veteran, Bruce Fenton. Fenton returns to the show to continue the conversation started last season by explaining his work regarding the migration patterns of ancient peoples. As outlined in his book, The Forgotten Exodus, the origins of our ancestors leave much to be discovered. While archaic hominids have walked the Earth from around 5 million years ago, we now know that close to 750,000 years ago something extraordinary began to happen to the genome of these distant ancestors, changes which marked the beginning of a unique species, Homo sapiens - us. Modern humans are quite unlike their primate relatives, but what was it about our slow trek through a prehistoric world that left us the black sheep of the global ecosystem? What epic trials did our ancestors pass through? How did we become so reliant on our technologies? Where on Earth did the critical scenes in our story play out? Bruce Fenton is a British multidisciplinary scientific researcher and media personality. He curates the popular paleoanthropology website AncientNews.net. Fenton graduated from Anglia Ruskin University with a Higher National Diploma in Information Systems. His expeditions to megalithic ruins in the Amazon jungle and in the Georgian Caucasus have seen him feature in the UK Telegraph newspaper and on the Science Channel.

Have you ever seen a UFO or had an extraterrestrial experience? Millions of alien abductions have been reported and the worldwide phenomenon continues to baffle skeptics and open minds alike. In today's episode of Lost Origins, Andrew and CK connect with Derrel Sims to discuss his life's work around the investigation of extraterrestrial abductions, implants, and everything in between. More than forty years ago, Derrel Sims had his first encounter with an alien presence. At the age of 17, he experienced a malignant contact with these alien beings that would alter his life forever. As a result of the violent encounter, Derrel made the decision that he would no longer willingly be a victim to the bizarre quests of alien entities. He was determined to change his role in life from being “the hunted” to “the hunter.” When these same beings later came for his 5-year-old son, Derrel put his hunt into high gear. Derrel began preparing himself for his lifelong quest of pursuing the alien prey. Every path he took would equip him mentally, physically and spiritually to become a warrior for the cause and to assume the role he feels he was born to play. As a result, Derrel has spent the past three decades researching the world of alien beings. His focus has been two-fold: To acquire the skills necessary to design and implement a program of compassionate and effective counseling for victims of alien contact, and to collect and analyze medical and scientific evidence of the alien presence. He has spent years studying and training in a broad range of areas that would provide him with a full array of skills necessary to search for and acquire evidence of these creatures. He served in military intelligence and worked with the CIA, and after the service worked as a police officer, and as a licensed private investigator. As a teenager, he was gifted at martial arts and became an instructor—though he himself had no formal training. As an adult, he kept several exotic animals, including a tiger and pet python. From advanced scuba diving training to skill with weaponry; from his certifications as a Master Hypnotherapist and Certified Medical Hypnoanaesthesiolgist to studies in graphoanlysis; Derrel’s eclectic accomplishments have had a single aim: to defeat the alien menace.

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

Today's episode of Lost Origins is a brain-bending ride into the mysterious and enigmatic world of past life memories and the initiation rituals of Ancient Egypt with nonother than Dr. Carmen Boulter. Dr. Boulter linked up with Andrew and CK during their CPAK adventure and the three discussed Dr. Boulter's past life memories, the initiation practices of Ancient Egyptian mystery schools, the site of Abu Ghurab, and much more. A professor at the University of Calgary in Canada, Dr. Carmen Boulter is the creative fire behind The Pyramid Code, directing, producing, and writing the series. She has been researching and writing about the sacred feminine in ancient Egypt and in goddesses worldwide for two decades. Her book, Angels and Archetypes: An Evolutionary Map of Feminine Consciousness, traces fragments of information about matriarchal cultures in pre-dynastic Egypt, prehistoric Greece, and around the world. In the archives of the Egyptian Museum, she gained official access to the original field notes of excavations done around the pyramids in the early 1900s. Dr. Boulter has an unshakable passion for Egypt and has traveled there 34 times.

During their weekend at CPAK, Andrew and CK had many conversations that left them reeling for more. In today's episode of Lost Origins, you get a front-row seat to the conversation that took the pair of hosts by surprise; this episode is cited by both Andrew and CK as the headiest conversation from their time at the Conference on Precession and Ancient Knowledge. In addition to quantum biology and anthropology, the three discuss the pineal gland, consciousness, the nature of reality, transcendental meditation, and so much more. #followTheWhiteRabbit Teeth provide the foundations of human history with tree-ring like record of our ancestor’s lives. Anthropological studies show that modern humans have experienced a dramatic change in the growth of the dental arch in modern times due to diet and functional habits. Dr. Lin merges ancient dental records with breakthrough principles of quantum biology to re-define the borders of what we understand about the human body. Dr. Steven Lin is a dentist, speaker, and internationally published author. He is a world leader in functional dentistry with his focus on crooked teeth as a preventable and nutritional problem. Dr. Lin merges anthropological and biomedical sciences to provide a multi-disciplinary perspective on a range of issues. He is a featured expert on The Human Origin Project, a global platform advancing the understanding of humanity’s true story.

This week's episode of Lost Origins sets a new record, as we welcome our first ever, three-time guest to the show. David Mathisen sat down with Andrew and CK at CPAK to continue the conversation that began in season one. In this exchange, the trio discusses several new aspects of David's work including Buddhism, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Mahabharata. As always, David's thoughtful approach to the myths of the ancient world is fascinating and filled with moments of personal motivation. For more than ten years, David Mathisen has been researching and deciphering the system of celestial metaphor that forms the foundation for the world’s ancient myths, scriptures, and sacred stories. Abundant and compelling evidence shows that these ancient sacred traditions are in fact all related and closely connected, despite being found in virtually every longitude all the way around the globe, and stretching back to the very earliest texts and artwork is known to us at this time. The existence of this world-wide system argues for the existence of a sophisticated predecessor culture unknown to conventional history, standing alongside all of the archaeological evidence that has come to light over the centuries and continues to surface to this day. David is the author of The Ancient World-Wide System: Star Myths of the World Volume One (Second Edition), released in 2019, as well as of the earlier books Star Myths of the World Volume Two: Myths of Ancient Greece, Star Myths of the World Volume Three: Star Myths of the Bible, Star Myths of the World Volume Four: Norse Mythology, Astrotheology for Life, The Mathisen Corollary, The Undying Stars, and Ancient Myths, Ancient Wisdom.

This week's episode of Lost Origins presents a rare opportunity to connect with one of our generation's most advanced minds - that of Robert Edward Grant. While attending CPAK in Southern California, Andrew and CK sat down with Robert to discuss his mind-melting research and work. The three discussed the concept of playing DNA similar to how a stringed instrument would be played, polymath, sound frequencies, one being the only constant, and so much more. Robert Edward Grant is a genius inventor with an eye for patterns hidden within the fabrics of reality. Similar to how the Great Year appears as nuanced astronomical motions until examined from an alternative perspective in context, Robert has discovered prime number polyhedrons laced within all sound frequencies, but within music more notably. The characteristics of sonic geometry can be dated back to most, if not all ancient cultures who appear to have utilized specialized patterns for sound rhythms to create what we now know as music. Mathematics is a primordial language utilized by ancient cultures (aside from pictograms) that was derived out of a necessity to communicate and count. Yet, so much surrounding mathematics is not yet fully understood. Prime numbers especially have been tabled for a later debate—default outliers due to their seeming lack of interconnectivity—until now. Robert’s research has correlated absolute prime number values appearing in specific, identical patterns of data sets—even within those sets that are randomly generated number sequences. Further, this pattern can be translated into a kind of “musical geometry” that reveals secret shapes known as “polyhedrons” within the sound itself. By taking the corresponding individual musical notes inside the chromatic scale of octaves, Robert was able to convert them using the Pythagorean theorem to generate “degree reference points” within a specific range on the hertz frequency scale of sound. His research has appeared on Gaia and Ancient Origins and can be found on his own website as well.

This week's episode of Lost Origins is a wild ride and initiation of sorts to the esoteric world of ancient mystery schools. Andrew and CK had the opportunity to sit down with Anyextee at CPAK to discuss his work surrounding the Maya, Ancient Eygpt, his mentorship from John Anthony West, and his upcoming book "The Water Wizards." Anyextee is an esoteric researcher, world traveler, author and filmmaker called to investigate the ancient mysteries, metaphysics, and mysticism. He transformed his passion for exploration into an esoteric tour company dedicated to providing travelers with more meaningful experiences offering symbolist tours through Egypt, Turkey, and Mexico. As the producer and narrator for “The Sacred History of the Rosicrucians”, Anyextee explores the heritage and importance of the mystical order’s traditional timeline. He is also producer and narrator for the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum Educational Guide and founder of Adept Initiates, Adept Expeditions, and Ancient Egypt Mystery Schools. Anyextee has also been featured on the Travel Channel.

Earlier this year, Andrew and CK ventured to sunny California for the Conference of Procession and Ancient Knowledge. The two spent three days locked in a room with many of the brightest minds within the scientific community and mind-bending conversation after mind-bending conversation left them reeling for more. This week's episode of Lost Origins has been a long time coming. This is the first official installment of the CPAK episodes and we kick it off with a bang by interviewing Joseph Selbie. Did ancient man have a higher sense of consciousness and a more thorough understanding of reality than our current model? If you have jumped down the rabbit hole that is the Yuga Cycle, you may have your own opinions around this. Yuga in Hinduism is an epoch or era within a four-age cycle. A complete Yuga starts with the Satya Yuga, via Treta Yuga and Dvapara Yuga into a Kali Yuga. Some scholars say that our present time is ascending Kali Yuga, while some scholars say that Kali Yuga has ended in 1700 A.D. and now we're in ascending Dwapara Yuga. Joseph Selbie is the author of The Physics of God. An avid follower of the unfolding new paradigms of science, he is known for creating bridges of understanding between the modern evidenced-based discoveries of science and the ancient experience-based discoveries of the mystics. Joseph is also the co-author of The Yugas, a factual look at Yukteswar’s description of the cycle of the ages. A dedicated Kriya meditator for nearly 50 years, he has taught yoga and meditation throughout the US and Europe, helping people to understand and find their own spiritual potential—and helping them understand how the expression of their spiritual potential ushers into the world an unstoppable wave of peaceful consciousness. He is a founding member of Ananda, a world-wide spiritual movement. Joseph has been with Ananda since 1975 and has served in a wide variety of roles including IT Director, Ananda Village Community Manager, Lightbearer, and spearhead for Ananda’s work in Europe and Seattle. Joseph is the author of other books exploring how spirituality connects with culture and science, including a sci/fi fantasy series, The Protectors Diaries, inspired by the abilities of mystics. He is currently working on a new book, The Psychology of God, an exploration of the intersections of psychology and neuroscience with higher consciousness.

Strange phenomena are pervasive throughout our world. Millions of people have reported experiences that cannot be explained with our modern understanding of reality, space-time, and the universe. Argentinian filmmaker, Alan Stivelman set out to investigate one of these occurrences with his latest film, Witness of Another World - an intimate documentary that intends to unveil the mystery of a spectacular close encounter case witnessed by a lonely gaucho. This film is moving, thought-provoking, and intense as hell. This week Alan joins Andrew and CK to walk them through his experiences of creating the film and his time with Juan Perez - the focus of the documentary. The conversation explores so much more than ufology and extraterrestrial abductions; this episode includes flavors of consciousness, reality, and mental health. This is definitely one for the books.

While questing for diamonds, Sierra Leone locals stumbled upon a set of enigmatic stone figures depicting several human races, and in some cases, semi-human beings. In addition to their mysterious origins, the Nomoli stones are incredibly ancient with some estimates dating them as far back as 17,000 BC. Another mind-bending facet of the Nomoli is the high melting temperatures required to create them and the presence of steel manipulated into perfectly spherical balls embedded within several of the figures. This suggests that the stones were developed by a civilization that would be considered highly advanced for its time. On this week's episode of Lost Origins, Andrew and CK are joined by Ben Vonderheide to rip into all things Nomoli. Ben is the world's leading researcher of the Nomoli and he explains the current understanding of the origins of the figures, their purpose, and the implications they hold for unlocked a missing chapter of human history.

CPAK was lit af. The 2019 Conference on Precession and Ancient Knowledge was three intense, jam-packed days of conversation after conversation that hit CK and Andrew with several theories and concepts on a level not yet experienced in the history of the show. Is that a bold statement? Yep. Is it a claim that we can back up with data? Something fierce and the upcoming release schedule of the interviews obtained in Newport Beach will trigger a massive spike in your Google consumption, dilated pupils, and sleepless nights of contemplation. When you head out for an evening of fine dining, you don't just sit down in your stretchiest sweats and jump into the main course; you embrace the experience and that first course is meant to wet the palate to prepare you for what's to come. That is the mindset you need to manifest with today's episode of Lost Origins. In today's episode, our very good friend Walter Cruttenden joins Andrew and CK to discuss the CPAK experience, the primary focus of the lecture he delivered at the conference, the moments that rocked his boat, and the presenters that had profound effects on him. This CPAK preview episode of Lost Origins will prepare you for what's about to hit your device of choice for podcast consumption. Get stoked. Hype yourself up. All the things.

History is riddled with countless enigmatic mysteries - so much of our chronology is shrouded in a cloak of unknown and the Newport Tower is no exception. Commonly thought to be the remains of a Rhode Island windmill, is a round stone tower located in Touro Park in Newport, Rhode Island. The tower presents copious riddles regarding its origins of construction and the epoch in which it was erected. Theories include local efforts, the pre-Columbus Vikings, the Templars, extraterrestrials, and everything in between. On this week's episode of Lost Origins, Andrew and CK are schooled on all things Newport Tower by the one and only, Jim Egan. As the number one authority on the tower, Jim serves as the curator of the Newport Tower Museum and has spent decades pouring his time, energy, and passion into unraveling the mystery of the tower. Jim Egan has worked as a professional photographer Providence, RI for 30 years. Before the digital photography revolution, he lived in an upside-down world using his 4 by 5 view camera. He has invented and marketed a line of photographic tools, including the Visualizer, the Quick Stick, and the Depth-of-Field Finder. He is a member of the New England Antiquities Research Association and the Renaissance Society of America.

Strange phenomenons are pervasive throughout our world; much of the nature of our existence is unknown, unexplainable, and enigmatic beyond our understanding. While many observe a happening that is not understood and react with the knee jerk reaction of disbelief, Lucy Pringle takes a different approach. Lucy has dedicated the vast majority of her life to studying, photographing, and scientific analysis of the worldwide appearance of crop circles. In 1990 while studying the energetics of a crop circle, Lucy Pringle experienced miraculous healing of a severe shoulder injury. Inspired, she expanded her research to investigate the physical, psychological, and energetic effects of these mysterious formations on people as well as on animals. In this book, alongside her stunning full-color aerial photographs of crop circles, Pringle shares the results of her research, including anecdotes from an 800-person questionnaire study, in combination with detailed scientific explanations by aerospace engineer and fellow crop circle researcher James Lyons. This week on Lost Origins, Andrew and CK connect with Lucy to discuss her latest book, The Energies of Crop Circles and her life's work. Lucy explains the worldwide phenomenon and walks the hosts through the connections between crop circle formations, cosmic energies, and consciousness. If you are a fan of the mysterious and unknown, you do not want to miss this one. About the guest: Recognized as an authority on the effects of electromagnetic fields on living systems, Lucy Pringle is one of the world’s leading crop circle photographers and researchers and is currently working with a medical research team investigating the temporary relief of Parkinson’s Disease when inside genuine crop circles. She lectures internationally and lives in Hampshire, England.
