Episode #375: The Age of the Pyramids with Randall Carlson
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.

Episode #374: Sacred Geometry and Lunar Mysteries with Randall Carlson
Randall Carlson, geological researcher and independent scholar of catastrophism and sacred geometry, joins to explore lunar mysteries and ancient tech. He discusses recurring 108/432/864 ratios, plasma and vortex ideas tied to sacred architecture, and how myth, geology, and catastrophic events may preserve lost knowledge. Short, wide-ranging, and full of provocative connections.

Episode #373: Primordial Egypt - On the Trail of the Ancients
They tour new archaeological finds in Egypt, from the huge single-piece granite shrine at Tell Al-Roba to excavation layers at KV5. They describe odd features in the Great Pyramid like the Queen's Chamber floor and the Grand Gallery's masonry. They follow desert surveys in the Faiyum and Sinai hunting pre-pottery Neolithic sites, lithics, ancient roads, quarries, and fossilized landscapes.

Episode #372: Return to Our Mysterious Moon
In light of the Artemis II mission to the moon, we discuss the history of Transient Lunar Phenomena - astronomers and other observers have been recording strange phenomena on the moon for a thousand years. We go through some of the more notable observations, and the fact that many of them take place in the same few craters and areas. We also discuss the future of spaceflight and what we hope the long term goals are for humanity in space. Support us and our exploration of the mysteries of the ancients and the universe!

Episode #370: Khafre Scans, Ancient Egypt, Giza Plateau - SnakeBros Live
They analyze SAR Doppler tomography scans of the Giza Plateau and debate whether vertical anomalies are real structures or imaging artifacts. The conversation covers limits of resolution, algorithm bias, and calls for independent validation like targeted shafts or GPR. They also consider historical plausibility, potential military or patent secrecy, and why better subsurface imaging could reshape what we know about buried landscapes.
