ANCIENT SUMERIANS built a tower of mud brick as a portal to the gods. Today, Babel is more high-tech.
Author Nick Goss joins us to discuss his new book Unplugging Babel: A Manifesto Against AI, Smartphones, and Social Media (https://amzn.to/47DBewo). Nick explains why he says smartphone technology and social media have enslaved Christians, tethering us to participation in the coming ‘Beast Bystem’ of the Antichrist.

ONE OF THE MOST notorious characters in the Bible, and all of history, is a man about which we know almost nothing.
Nimrod is blamed for the Tower of Babel and the occult wickedness of Babylon. However, a close reading of the Bible and the history of the ancient Near East doesn’t specifically connect him with either. Some identify Nimrod as the Sumerian king Enmerkar, some as Sargon the Great of Akkad, others as the mythical hero of Uruk, Gilgamesh.
How much do we really know about Nimrod? Is there any connection to Semiramis, Tammuz, and Christmas? Doug Van Dorn (www.douglasvandorn.com), author of Giants: Sons of the Gods, Dr. Judd Burton (www.BurtonBeyond.net), author of Interview With the Giant, and Brian Godawa (www.Godawa.com), best-selling author of the new novel Cruel Logic join us for our monthly round table to discuss the man, the myth, the legend—Nimrod.
Here’s the link to Derek’s paper “The Double-Headed Eagle: Scottish Rite Freemasonry’s Veneration of Nimrod (https://www.academia.edu/9062169/The_Double_Headed_Eagle_Scottish_Rite_Freemasonrys_Veneration_of_Nimrod).”
This is the BBC News article that got everyone so excited 20 years ago: “Gilgamesh Tomb Believed Found (news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/2982891.stm).” Except that’s not what Dr. Jörg Fassbinder actually said.
Fassbinder’s team did a magenetometric survey of the site of ancient Uruk, the city ruled by Gilgamesh probably 5,000 years ago (give or take). They mapped magnetic anomalies in the soil to find the city walls and outlines of buildings in the city. During the survey, they found the outline of a structure in what was formerly the course of the Euphrates River that was similar to the description of the tomb described in the Epic of Gilgamesh.
Fassbinder and his team excavated nothing. And yet that BBC story has been twisted and retold so often that it’s now taken as an article of faith that videos with titles like “Gilgamesh Nephilim King FOUND INTACT IN TOMB” are still being produced—and getting about 100 times more views than our program because we stick to actual evidence.
Here’s a 2002 story from Radio Free Europe about Dr. Fassbinder’s work with a title that’s more accurate and less clickbait: “Iraq: Archaeological Expedition Mapping Ancient City Of Uruk (https://www.rferl.org/a/1099592.html).”
Here are the relevant papers by Jörg Fassbinder:
• Beneath the Euphrates Sediments: Magnetic Traces of the Mesopotamian Megacity Uruk (2020) (https://www.asor.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Fassbinder-June-2020-ANEToday.pdf)
• Uruk (Iraq) Magnetometry in the First Megacity of Mesopotamia (2018) (https://www.academia.edu/38311611/Uruk_Iraq_Magnetometry_in_the_First_Megacity_of_Mesopotamia_Fassbinder_JWE_et_al_2018_NSGG_London_Archaeological_Geophysics)
• Magnetometry at Uruk (Iraq): City of King Gilgamesh (2003) (https://www.academia.edu/22188362/Magnetometry_at_Uruk_Iraq_City_of_King_Gilgamesh)
You can see his work is all with the magnetometer, not the shovel or spade. Gilgamesh was not exhumed.

WHAT WE CALL “prepping” our grandparents called “life.” We’ve lost those skills—and the knowledge that your neighbors had your back when things got tough.
Wyatt Fernow, one of the organizers of the annual Pitchfork and Hoe Gathering in Valley City, North Dakota (facebook.com/pitchforknhoe), sat down with me at this year’s event to explain why his father, Rod, came up with the idea for this get-together, the types of exhibits and workshops offered, and the lessons he hopes people take away from this gathering.
I was honored to be a featured speaker Friday and Saturday night at the Pitchfork and Hoe Gathering. Here are links to my presentations and the Q & A sessions that followed:

THE THREE big questions of life that have haunted humanity since the beginning of history are still with us today: Where do we come from, why are we here, and what happens when we die?
Shaun Tabatt (https://www.shauntabatt.com/) and Randy Kay have authored three books on near-death experiences (NDEs), accounts of experiences from people who were clinically dead and brought back to life. Shaun joins us to discuss their new book Near Death Experiences: 101 Short Stories That Will Help You Understand Heaven, Hell, and the Afterlife (https://amzn.to/46SNPeA). He tells us why he and Randy research a phenomenon many Christians avoid, how they selected the accounts in the book, and their fascinating discovery that the intercessory prayers of mothers and grandmothers seem to be especially effective.

A CREEPY DOLL that takes on a life of its own is a well-worn trope in Hollywood horror films. Is there any truth behind this modern urban myth?
Dr. Judd Burton (BurtonBeyond.net), author of Interview With the Giant and the forthcoming Van Helsing Way, joins us for our annual Halloween show to discuss the spiritual reality behind Hollywood dolls like Chucky (Child’s Play), Annabelle (The Conjuring), the evil clown in Poltergeist, and M3gan.
As Judd notes, dolls are not all that different from the “images” created by the pagan neighbors of ancient Israel (and by pagans today) to give locality to their gods.
If the apostle Paul was correct, and we defer to him in matters supernatural, then these idols—dolls, if you prefer—were, and can be, homes to demons.

WHO BETTER to investigate sensational reports of levitating inhuman visitors in the remote Amazon rainforest than Timothy Alberino?
Seriously. Not only is Tim, author of the bestselling book Birthright, a respected ufologist, he lived for ten years in exactly the part of the Amazon where these reports emerged in August and speaks the unique dialect of Spanish used by villagers in that region.
What is going on? According to eyewitnesses, seven-foot tall, yellow-eyed creatures of possibly insectoid appearance who can float through the air have been terrorizing villagers along the Amazon and its tributaries. They appear to be impervious to bullets, and there are some who believe these are what are locally called “face peelers.” And it’s not because these creatures are really into skin care.
The official explanation, that these are illegal gold miners using jet packs to travel deep into the jungle, makes no sense, so Tim has assembled an expedition to the Ikitu tribe in the remote Peruvian village of San Antonio. He leaves Monday, October 23, 2023, and we wait to see what he finds.
We don’t know what’s really happening, but we know the people who live in that region of the Amazon are terrified of something.
Also: Our memories of our friend and mentor, Dr. Tom Horn.

Customer Reviews
Fascinating and interesting!
Derek Gilbert and his guests are always interesting and informative! I always enjoy listening to his episodes.
Nothing else like it
No one else is doing research and discussing these very interesting and relevant topics.
I never miss an episode. Show is incredible.
A podcast that has opinions on books that it has not read, for lack of a better title
I have sibscribed to this podcast for over a year, perhaps two and listen to the occasional episode. I listened to the episode about the Graham Hancock series with interest, and only one of the participants had read any amount of Hancocks books, and he seemed objective, but the host seemed to jump onto suggestions that his dismissive agenda, when it was discussed that Hancock had based his opinions on ayuasca experiences. It was very sad to hear the lack of objectivity, from the host and the other participants, and it was clear that they were not well versed in the subject that they were delivering their opinions. Unsubscribed.
