We are joined by Mard Young to discuss the Khafre Scans, the credibility of the conclusions from the scan data, and the future of this type of technology if it is viable.

In the second half of the show, we talk about Marc's encounters with fraud in academia, and the problems with the peer review system.

We are going to Peru in October of 2025!! Sign up now and join us, Ben from UnchartedX, and Yousef Aywan from the Khemet School on an epic journey through the highlands of Peru:

Join us, Ben from UnchartedX, Adam Young, and Karoly Poka for an afternoon at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York where we will peruse their collection of Ancient Egyptian artifacts, then we will move to the Explorer's Club for dinner and presentations from us and Ben!

This was a fun discussion! Back in the tangent cube at last, we cover some of the highlights of our long trip through Egypt and Turkey, from Cappadocia and Derenkuyu to Gobekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe, the Pyramids and the Osirieon, ancient tools and lost vaults of knowledge. We talk about the mythology connected with the structures, and focus a lot of time on the Osiris Myth. Thank you all for your patience as we travel, and your continued support!

We recorded this in a hotel room right next to the Giza Plateau in Egypt, and we spend the first hour discussing the results of the now-famous Synthetic Aperture Radar scans of the Khafre Pyramid, and the claims of large structures hidden in the bedrock below the pyramid proper.
We also talk a bit about the strange "well shaft" of the Great Pyramid, which we explored again this year, and the mysterious "Grotto" chamber at the top of the well shaft.

Finally, we read some very interesting new findings by physicist Max Fomitchev-Zamilov in the subject of the Egyptian stone vases. Max has discovered that there is a higher concentration of radioactive elements in vases of higher quality and precision, at least in the limited samples he has been able to scan. We read about his preliminmary results from his website, which can be found here:
https://maximus.energy/index.php/2025/03/30/excess-of-thorium-232-in-ancient-egyptian-stone-vessels/

We also read from a related article on Max's website, about "nuclear machining", a technique that Max says could explain the seeming ease with which the ancient vases were manufactured, as well as the higher concentration of radioactive materials in the quality samples.
