Earth Ancients

Cliff Dunning

Earth Ancients chronicles the growing (and often suppressed) evidence of known and unknown civilizations, their ruined cities, and artifacts developed from advanced science and technology. Erased from the pages of time, these cultures discovered and charted the heavens, developed earth-centric sciences and unleashed advancements that parallel and, in many cases, surpass our own.

    Ed Barnhart: The Olmec Enigma, Unearthing MesoAmericas Lost Empire

    In this compelling new episode of Earth Ancients, Cliff Dunning welcomes archaeologist Dr. Ed Barnhart for an in-depth exploration of the Olmec—the mysterious civilization widely regarded as the mother culture of Mesoamerica. Together they journey through the rise of the earliest Olmec centers, including San Lorenzo, La Venta, and Tres Zapotes, examining how these remarkable people emerged in the Gulf Coast lowlands and laid the intellectual and cultural foundations for later civilizations such as the Maya and Zapotec. Listeners will gain rare insight into some of the most fascinating unresolved mysteries surrounding the Olmec, including the meaning of the colossal stone heads, the political structure behind their ceremonial cities, and the extraordinary engineering required to transport multi-ton basalt monuments across vast distances. Dr. Barnhart also explores cutting-edge interpretations of Olmec mathematics, astronomical knowledge, cosmology, and sacred architecture—revealing a society far more intellectually advanced than many realize.A major centerpiece of the discussion examines the startling implications of Aguada Fénix, the enormous ceremonial complex uncovered by Takeshi Inomata and his team in the Middle Usumacinta region of Mexico. Officially classified as an early Maya monumental site, Aguada Fénix has reshaped scholarly understanding because of its immense scale and unexpectedly early construction date. In this episode, Cliff and Dr. Barnhart explore the provocative possibility that Aguada Fénix may in fact preserve strong Olmec cultural fingerprints—or perhaps represent an Olmec ceremonial legacy later absorbed into Maya history. This opens a broader debate about whether some of the earliest monumental constructions traditionally labeled “Maya” may belong to a deeper Olmec horizon that has yet to be fully recognized. By downloading this episode, listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of who the Olmec were, why they matter profoundly in the story of human civilization, and how new discoveries like Aguada Fénix are forcing archaeologists to reconsider the origins of complex society in Mesoamerica. This is not simply a history lesson—it is an archaeological investigation into one of the ancient world’s most sophisticated and least understood civilizations, filled with revelations that challenge conventional narratives and invite fresh wonder about humanity’s earliest achievements. Dr. Edwin Barnhart, director of the Maya Exploration Center, has over twenty five years of experience in Central, South, and North America as an archaeologist, an explorer, and an instructor. He has appeared in over a dozen documentaries and given presentations all over the world. His involvement in Maya studies began in 1990 as an archaeological intern in the ruins of Copan, Honduras. In January of 1996 he was invited to return to Copan and help the University of Pennsylvania excavate the early acropolis and the tomb of the city’s lineage founder. From 1992-1995 he studied art, iconography, and epigraphy (hieroglyphic translation) under the late Dr. Linda Schele at the University of Texas at Austin. During that same time he worked across the state of Texas as a contract archaeologist.  https://archaeoed.com/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

    Scott Creighton: The Great Pyramid Hoax 2

    In 1837, deep within the Great Pyramid of Giza, British army officer Colonel Richard W. Howard Vyse made a claim that would define Egyptology for generations: the “discovery” of painted hieroglyphs, including the royal cartouche of Khufu, the pyramid’s builder. This single event helped cement forever the idea that the Great Pyramid and all other pyramids at Giza were merely royal tombs. Yet when the surviving notebooks, sketches, and first-hand accounts from Vyse’s time are carefully examined, a different and deeply unsettling picture begins to emerge. These accounts reveal troubling discrepancies—erasures, manipulated dates, and contradictory statements—suggesting that the famous “Khufu cartouche” may not be ancient at all, but the product of a Victorian deception. In The Great Pyramid Hoax II, IT engineer and independent researcher, Scott Creighton, returns to the original 1837 evidence to conduct a forensic re-evaluation of what really happened inside those hidden chambers of the Great Pyramid. Through detailed textual, epigraphic, and contextual analysis, he demonstrates how Colonel Vyse’s actions—whether through ambition, desperation, or misunderstanding—effectively set Egyptology down a wrong path; a path from which it has never (yet) found its way back. But if the Giza pyramids weren’t simple tombs, then what were they? Creighton revisits the ancient Legend of Surid, preserved in early Coptic and Arabic sources, in which a pre-diluvian Egyptian king builds the pyramids to safeguard the wisdom of his age against a looming cataclysm. When this “legend” is read alongside the physical and astronomical layout of the Giza complex, a striking and compelling coherence begins to take shape. What emerges is a radical reappraisal of both the pyramid’s function and humanity’s own deep history—a reminder that beneath centuries of scholarly orthodoxy may lie the echo of an ancient science, and a warning recorded in stone by a civilization determined that its message should survive the apocalyptic Earth cataclysm that would bring its demise. Meticulously researched and boldly reasoned, The Great Pyramid Hoax II is an inquiry into how one nineteenth-century hoax helped shape our present understanding of Egypt’s most ancient past—and how its unraveling may yet reshape our own future. “Egyptologists consider the ochre-painted Khufu cartouche in the Great Pyramid as the ultimate proof that this pyramid belongs to the Fourth Dynasty pharaoh Khufu. But much controversy surrounds its authenticity. If the Khufu cartouche is indeed a hoax, then the implications are tremendous. Scott Creighton has undertaken a very bold and meticulous investigation into this mystery. The Great Pyramid Hoax is a must-read book for all seekers of truth.” Robert Bauval, author of The Soul of Ancient Egypt ― Robert Bauval, author of The Soul of Ancient Egypt “An intriguing narrative, The Great Pyramid Hoax expertly weaves its way through the sands of time, as it revisits one of Egyptology’s most contentious issues--the dating of the Great Pyramid. In the best traditions of alternative research Creighton takes the reader on a personal journey of exploration, skillfully weaving powerful themes upon clear emotional expression, as he attempts to uncover the veracity behind one of Egypt’s most endearing mysteries. A must-read for those searching for the truth.” ― Lorraine Evans, Egyptologist, death historian, and author of Kingdom of the Ark "A powerfully-argued demolition of the 'facts' on which Egyptologists base their claim that the Great Pyramid was built by the Fourth Dynasty pharaoh Khufu. Scott Creighton's excellent new book The Great Pyramid Hoax is a first-class forensic investigation that Egyptologists should really be paying a great deal of attention to, because it pulls the rug of their chronology right out from under their feet." ― Graham Hancock, author of Fingerprints of the Gods About the AuthorScott Creighton is an engineer whose extensive travels have allowed him to explore many of the world’s ancient sacred sites. The host of the Alternative Egyptology forum on AboveTopSecret.com, he is the author of The Secret Chamber of Osiris and coauthor of The Giza Prophecy. He lives in Glasgow, Scotland.

    Brad Olsen: Secrets of Antarctica

    Secrets of Antarctica will reveal Brad Olsen’s exploration and firsthand experience with this strange continent. The book will question the possibility of a lost continent and visit the land of the Patagonia giants. Next are the Age of Exploration maps depicting the Ice Continent centuries before Antarctica was officially discovered. New Swabia (Neuschwabenland) was a territorial claim made by Nazi Germany in the late 1930s. Admiral Richard Byrd led Operation Highjump to confront the Nazi base there, and to recover a Nazi flying disc. Admiral Byrd spoke of “flying objects that could fly from pole to pole at incredible speeds.” What if there is a hollow Earth, or very large inhabitable domes under the ice warmed by geothermal heat? Could this be a home base for Antarctica ETs? Lastly, the book uncovers the Black Goo discovered on a pan-Antarctic island, and examines its connection to Transhumanism. Brad Olsen is a captivating speaker and author of eleven books, including four in his Esoteric Series: "Modern Esoteric;" "Future Esoteric;" “Beyond Esoteric;” and the newly-released “Secrets of Antarctica.” An award-winning author, book publisher and conference speaker, his keynote presentations and interviews have enlightened audiences at Contact in the Desert, New Living Expo, the 5D events and dozens of podcast, radio (including Coast to Coast, Ground Zero, and Nino's Corner) and television shows (including Ancient Aliens, America Unearthed, Beyond Belief, Book of Secrets, The Truth is Out There and Mysteries of the Outdoors). He has traveled to all seven continents, including Antarctica by sailboat, seeking adventure and the answers to the mysteries of humankind’s past. Although the professional task of book publishing occupies most of his year, Brad Olsen is also a ranch owner in Yerington, NV, the town where he currently resides. Between writing online and print publication articles, new book chapters, and posting on social media, he also manages various websites, handles marketing, special sales fulfillment, and administrative tasks, oversees projects with outsourced collaborators, and hosts private events on his ranch. Wearing his publisher's hat, he makes the stated goal of only releasing only the kinds of books he would value owning himself, which incorporates thought-provoking and critical content, and with a wide appeal to readers.

    Destiny: Peter Russell, How to Meditate Without Even Trying

    What if meditation didn’t require discipline, technique, or hours of sitting still but was actually something you looked forward to? In How to Meditate Without Even Trying, Peter Russell shares the liberating insight at the heart of his decades-long teaching: The harder we try to meditate, the more we get in our own way. True meditation is instead about the practice of allowing — releasing effort, relaxing the mind, and gently returning to the present moment. In clear and calming prose, Russell’s minimalist approach to meditation will help you: • cultivate presence without controlling your thoughts • let go of resistance, tension, and emotional discomfort • reclaim your natural inner calm — even in a noisy, busy world • integrate mindfulness into your daily life through mini- and micro-meditations • rediscover the practice as a source of joy, clarity, and deep contentment Rooted in both lived experience and timeless wisdom, this is a book to keep within arm’s reach — a call to stop striving and start being. Spiritual teacher Peter Russell earned degrees in theoretical physics, psychology, and computer science at the University of Cambridge in England. He studied meditation and Eastern philosophy in India and was one of the first people to introduce meditation to corporations.

    Destiny: Aaron Abke. The Three Beliefs of Ego: A Sufferer’s Guide to Freedom

    What if the root of your suffering comes down to just three core beliefs?

At the heart is the Emotional Guidance System, a practical tool for recognizing ego patterns in daily life and shifting beyond them. This book offers a direct and accessible framework for anyone looking to understand the roots of suffering and rediscover a more peaceful, authentic way of being. Aaron Abke is a spiritual teacher and thought leader who delivers a fresh new perspective on self-realization. His online academy for consciousness expansion, 4D University, has more than 10,000 members, and his practical approach to the path of enlightenment has benefited hundreds of thousands of seekers across the globe.
