    Why Is The OLDEST Technology the Most Advanced? The Clovis & Ancient Megalith Problem!

    The Clovis point is one of the most extraordinary andmysterious Ice Age technologies ever discovered. It appeared suddenly, fully formed and with no developmental history. It was one of the fastest and widest technological dispersals in human prehistory… and it appeared immediatelybefore the Younger Dryas catastrophe. In this episode, I follow the Clovis story from itsdiscovery to its collapse, and ask the question archaeology won’t ask: Where did this technology come from — and why does the most advanced lithic craftsmanship come first? Archaeologists already accept that Ice Age technology canappear suddenly, reach an extreme level of mastery, and then decline over time - as long as we’re talking about stone tools. Why is the same idea rejected when we look at ancient megalithic architecture – this is an archaeological DOUBLESTANDARD! The Clovis point is a true mystery. It’s also a reminderthat human history may not be a straight line upward — but that sometimes, the greatest achievements lie buried at the very beginning of the story. Tune in for an unforgettable episode – and stay tuned untilthe end, where I will show you Clovis, Paleo, Archaic, and other lithics from MY OWN inherited family collection —so you can see the “devolution” for yourself. Sometimes, the story becomes clearest when you hold it in yourhands! Topics covered: Clovis fluting & engineering •“Clovis First” and why it collapsed • Monte Verde • The Gault Site • Clovis aches (and why they matter) • Folsom & Bison antiquus • Archaic points • Arrowheads• The archaeological double standard. #Clovis #Arrowheads #FlintKnapping #Paleoindian#YoungerDryas #Megaliths #AncientHistory

    Vat Phou's Shattered Megaliths: Clues to An Ancient Catastrophe in Laos

    Join me on a solo adventure to Vat Phou, a remote UNESCO site in southern Laos. This isn't your typical temple— it’s a lost megalithic sanctuary with serpent carvings and a peculiar crocodile stone, precision stonework, evidence of lost technology and signs of an ancient catastrophe that tilted boulders and reshaped the landscape. I'll walk you through the site's terraces, barays, and scattered ruins, sharingfirsthand observations. Could this site predate the inscriptions by centuries or more, built by a lost ancient culture? From lathe-marked spindles to LiDAR, we'll explore why Vat Phou feels out of sync with other ancient sites in theregion.

    Unearthed Truths: 5 Clues That FLIP Cambodia's Timeline!

    I've been digging deep into Cambodia's ancient history! What I’ve discovered has truly surprised me, and led me to believe that much of what we accept about Cambodia's ancient past could be COMPLETELY WRONG. In this episode, we cover the TOP 5 CLUES that could completely rewrite Cambodia's timeline: 1) Dating techniques that don’t tell the full story; 2) Cambodia’s many overlooked pyramids; 3) the 2012 LiDAR results that revealed massive mound fields and mile-long spirals; 4) Masterful stone sculptures that point to a possible earlier and forgotten civilization, and 5) Sophisticated, precision artifacts that were uncovered across many of Cambodia’s oldest sites. Cambodia's ancient secrets are just beginning to surface - with more from my on-site research in Cambodia and Laos coming soon!Sources Cited in this Video: French School of the Far East Cambodian Photo Databasehttps://collection.efeo.fr/ws/web/app/report/les-fonds.html

    Forgotten Angkor: LiDAR Reveals Hidden Technology

    Angkor Wat is Cambodia’s most famous temple, but it’s just one piece of a massive ancient city and a sprawling empire that once covered parts of Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam. For centuries, jungles, settlements, and war hid the true scale of this civilization—until LiDAR surveys in 2012 and 2015 mapped 2,100 km², revealing an engineered landscape unlike anything from the pre-industrial world. In this episode, we’ll discuss: the 1,000 km network of elevated roads, colossal dams and canals, massive reservoirs like the 8km-long Western Baray, and the mysterious mound fields and unexplainable mile-long spiral embankments –scattered across Cambodia and with no known purpose. We’ll also explore some of the lesser-known temple complexes far from Angkor Wat, each with their own puzzles. This is my favorite episode yet! Join us for our November 2025 Tour to Cambodia: https://www.royalangkor-tours.com/tours/stargate-voyager-secrets-of-cambodia/ Watch my other episodes on Cambodia and its mysterious history.

    Yemen's Hidden Megaliths Part 2: Baraqish, Awwam, Barran, and the Old Marib Dam

    In the second and final episode of my new series on ancient Yemen, we will explore Yemen’s hidden megaliths. We’ll start with the ancient city of Baraqish, built on a massivemanmade mound, with its 14-meter high walls and monumental limestone. Next, we’ll explore the ancient sites of Awwam and Barran near Old Marib, both UNESCO World Heritage candidates, known for their grand pillars, intricate stonework and mysterious ibex motifs. Finally, we’ll discuss the ancient engineering masterpiece - the Old Marib Dam - a 600-meter-long structure that once sustained a lushoasis nearly twice the size of New York City. We’ll examine the evidence for a timeline that stretches far beyond the official archaeological narrative. Finally, we’ll address the critical threats to Yemen’s archaeological heritage amid ongoing conflict. You won’t want to miss this one!

    Yemen's Ancient Megalithic Mysteries Part 1 – Timna’s Cyclopean Architecture

    In Part 1 of my new series on ancient Yemen, we will explore the ancient city of Timna. Timna’s ruins, constructed on a 65-acre oval-shaped mound, include massive granite cyclopean walls strikingly similar to sites found in Peru, Egypt, and apan. As a key center of the Qataban Kingdom on the Incense Route, Timna thrived on frankincense and myrrh trade, yet its monumental South Gate, Temple of Athirat, and Market Square suggest Timna’s origins reach far earlier than the 4thcentury BC, possibly predating known Yemeni civilizations. Additionally, we’ll discuss the critical threats to Yemen’s archaeological heritage amid ongoing conflict, with sites like Timna at risk of loss. Join me to uncover the story of this extraordinary ancient site! Link: https://www.monumentaorientalia.org/

    Ethiopia's Ancient Megaliths Part 3: Lalibela's Rock-Hewn Churches & Mysterious Standing Stelae

    Join me for the finale of the Ancient Megaliths of Ethiopia series, where we will discuss the iconic rock-hewn churches of Lalibela—masterpieces carved directly from solid rock. This site is much more complex, and I believe substantially older, than we’re being told. I will share my theories in this episode! We’ll also venture into southern Ethiopia to explore fields of standing stones with carvings strikingly similar to those in Peru and Turkey. One even features a handbag! Could the UNESCO-listed Churches of Lalibela share a hidden connection with Axum’s obelisks and the ancient Pre-Axumite temples? Archaeologists claim a 2,000-year gap separates these sites, but do the architectural similarities and intricate designs suggest a different story? And should the official history of these sites be rewritten? Zamani Project 3D Scans: https://www.zamaniproject.org/site-ethiopia-lalibela-rock-hewn-churches.html
