Well, what is up, everyone? Thank you for tuning into another episode. If you haven't noticed, I'm trying to be more consistent and put out more episodes. And my goal is to try to get two episodes out a week. And man, that might not seem that big of a deal, but when you add family time and all the crazy stuff that pops up on a weekly basis, like giving my dog a haircut. trying to work out, trying to be halfway healthy. It's crazy how the time flies, doing yard work. You know what I'm talking about.

Now summer's coming and we're going to do some family camp out. And it's like, man, does time fly? It's insane, right? So anyway, here I am on a Saturday trying to crank out another episode for you. Because, you know, in the end, it's all about content, right? Content, content, content. friends like my bro Jeremy, he's literally my brother-in-law, but also one of my best friends. But this dude's an electrician.

And so he's telling me how he's out working multiple hours a day, every day, five days a week, working hard for his family. And all he does is listen to podcasts. And so he just needs more content, more content. And so that's a good reminder for me that, yes, I want this to do. be quality and I want to improve the quality of this podcast. But at the end of the day, it's all about content, right? Because like I said, I'm going to be going to be going to be going to be able to bring the equipment I have with me. So I'm just going to be recording something on my phone and delivering it to you. So it might not be the best quality. We'll

sacrifice some quality is what I'm saying for consistency and content, more content. So in this shorter episode, we are going to get into some forbidden history. Right now I have a subscription to the New York Times. I don't know, I'm not necessarily proud of saying that, but I have a subscription actually to their way back machine or to their digital archives that go way back to the 1800s. And that enables me to search through using keywords and find all of these crazy, insane articles written from the late 1800s up until the 1950s that detail all kinds of crazy, interesting, enigmatic discoveries in North America and really all over the world. And so in this episode, I'm going to read for you some of these strange

articles, one that involves a sandstone tablet that we was discovered, get this, in the state of Illinois back in the late 1800s. Another one details a strange discovery in Texas, let's just say, of a very odd skeleton. This other article here that we'll get into details a discovery of ancient ruins found in a lake in Arizona when there was a drought and the water dissipated and this was huge news of the New York Times back in 1925 of these ruins that you've probably never heard about. I just found out about this. We're going to read a quick article about a Wisconsin mound that was open and something very enigmatic that was found inside. Another short article will take us to Florida

where more strange skeletons were found and I mean a very large size. And then we'll end the episode in Kentucky. in 1927 where, let's just say something very strange was found in this Kentucky cave. You are not going to want to miss this episode. But first, a quick reminder to subscribe to this podcast from wherever you watch or listen. This greatly helps me. And if you can, go the extra distance and give me a five-star review or rating on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, especially if you listen on Spotify, getting your subscription and getting your five-star review really helps me to break through the machine, the matrix, the algorithms,

and to reach more people regarding our true ancient past. And let me really quickly plug some upcoming tours, and then at the end of this episode, I'll come back and tell you more in depth about them if you want to learn about them. But really quick, coming up November 5th, the 11th, We have our Secrets of Cambodia Tour where we are going to go to Anchorwat. We're going to see all of the ancient temples in the area.

It is going to be incredible. And you can lock in a pretty great price as of the time of this recording. So go to Stargatevojure.com slash tours to learn more or click the link in the show notes below. And I believe we only have like five spots left for this tour. This tour is filling up fast. I believe we can take a max group of 40 based on the buses we're going to have available. And I think we have about 35 signed up already. And then coming in March of 2006 is going to be our Israel and Petra tour.

This is going to be a Holy Land tour for the ages. We are going to have the expedition of a lifetime. And again, at the time of this recording, you can lock in our early bird price by using code Stargate 1. capital S, Stargate, one, the number one. We will literally experience the Bible come alive in 3D as we walk where the great heroes of the faith walked. We're going to see all of the major important must-see sites in the Holy Land. But then what's going to make this tour special is we are going to go off-grid

and we are going to go look for the habitation of the nefarious watchers who the Bible in the book of Enoch says descended on Mount Hermon. We're going to literally go there and look for ancient archaeological sites associated with them. And also the Nephilim. We're going to go to sites like the Wheel of the Giants known as Gilgal Raphaim. We're going to go look inside ancient prehistoric dolmens that most people have no idea exist in Israel. We're going to go to Jerusalem to the western wall, but we're going to go underneath it to see the megalithic 500-ton megalithic block. that I believe were made with lost technology.

To learn even more, make sure to watch me at the end of the episode as I'll go in depth and share even more details. But for now, visit Stargatevojager.com slash tours or click the link in the show notes below for all the info. Okay, let's jump into these fascinating articles. And again, just to set the record straight, all of these are coming from the infamous New York Times. This is not some other fellow ancient history nerd writing this stuff on their blog.

No, this is coming straight from the prestigious New York Times. And back in the day, before political correctness, before there was groups of people and organizations trying to control our speech and our thought, publications like the New York Times and their writers would freely write about these incredible discoveries. This first article is dated Friday, March, 11th 1892 the title of the article reads sandstone tablets found and then the subtitle reads strange discoveries in virgin soil in Illinois and if you're watching this by way of Spotify or YouTube you're going to literally see the screenshots scrolling of these exact

specific articles the article reads as follows quote carthage Illinois March 10th An important historical discovery has just been made on a farm three miles northeast of Le Carp. In this county and interest is added to the find from the fact that in October two hunters had discovered at the same place two sandstone tablets bearing strange inscriptions. The recent find is that of a sandstone tablet bearing a number of letters etched in the stone. The lettering is in Roman capitals, nearly an inch in length and are as follows. And then it's showing, I believe, the inscription from the actual tablet. And the only part I can make out says June 11, 171, comma, and then the rest you can't really read because it's in a different language.

So the article continues to explain what I just tried to explain. It says, stars indicate the position of a curious character that cannot be. be transmitted, but which resembles an inverted seven, or a capital L. The dagger indicates a figure similar to the capital letter E, the middle cross being omitted. The above strange letterings are faux similes, I believe it's saying it's some of these articles are hard to read of the original in the tablet from a tissue paper impression. The Honorable John H. Hungathe will forward the tablet to the Smithsonian Institution, where the other tablets were sent by him several months ago. The other two tablets were found in virgin soil under the roots of an old tree and contained the following.

Okay, so before I read this next piece, so there was two other tablets already found by this guy, the Honorable John Hungato. These previous ones had this written on them, June 11, 1715, and then I can't read the rest. And then the article says, on the other stone tablet was this inscription. And again, it's in a language I can't read. The article ends stating this, quote, the theory advanced at the time was that the stone tablets were engraved and buried by one or more of LaSalle's or Taunty's followers, who had revolted from their command at Fort Crevacore, near where Peoria now is in 1687. I believe that's what it said. It was thought that, quote, TMTI, end quote, is meant for taunti.

Mr. Hungato scoured the affidavits of men who made the discovery, touching the genius of the find, and will give the authorities, Washington a chance to unravel the strange lettering. So a very fascinating article to read from 1892 in the New York Times regarding sandstone tablets found in Illinois. All right, this next article comes from the New York Times Saturday, April 11th, 1891. And the headline reads, Strange Discoveries in Texas. The article reads as follows, quote, Gainesville, Texas, a April 10th. Several weeks ago, curious discoveries were reported near ERA in Cook County. Colonel Talley of Dallas, representing an English scientific society,

has been there several days prosecuting an investigation. He has just discovered the remains of a giant woman, with a large gold-mounted and ancient, modelled tucking comb beneath her hair. her hair. This is in the nature of other discoveries made there several weeks ago by a party from Illinois and led to the investigation by Colonel Talley. He says there is something in store for theological students and historians as well as for the scientific world. The place of the discovery is known as the Clear Creek Catacombs. So a short article but very interesting, I wish it told us the height or length of this giant woman discovered,

but it does mention strange discovery. It says it was a giant woman with a golden comb of some sort found under her hair. And this was in an area known as the Clear Creek Catecombs. This next article was published Saturday, April 25th, 1925. And the headline reads, Ebbing Lake bears ancient city in Arizona with apartments bigger than Park Aveniz. And the article reads as follows, quote, The drought in Arizona and the lowering of the waters of Roosevelt Lake near Globe, Arizona,

have exposed the ruins of what was once the biggest city in America, according to an announcement yesterday by the American Museum of Natural History. The big town, which is somewhere between 2,000 and 5,000 years old, is being explored by American Museum archaeologists who were sent there by Mrs. William Boyce Thompson, wife of the Copper and Oilman. In addition to its interests as the metropolis of the prehistoric southwest, the place is of importance because its pottery is of a new type and resembles that of Mexico, indicating that the Arizona civilization was an offshoot of ancient Mexican or vice versa. The greatest American

apartment house, ancient or modern, is reported to have been found on this site. Its ruins are 550 feet long and it was either three or four stories high. Tons of relics showing the work of the interior decorators of the time have been collected. Because of the dryness of the region, textiles have been found well preserved except where the waters of the artificial lake have submerged them. Eric Schmidt, who is in charge of the expedition, reported abundant finds of pottery with black designs on a white background and of a fine corrugated wear. The archaeologists are working against time because the first rain will cause the lake to submerge most of the main ruin, which is open for exploration now only because of a succession of dry years. Ms. Thompson, a keen archaeologist who has financed expeditions to Cyprus, Egypt, and Peru,

provided the funds for this research when she learned that specimens of pottery of unusual design had come out of Roosevelt Lake region. Her party traced these relics back to their point of origin and discovered America's oldest big, city. Miss Thompson has made a visit to the site. The buildings are made of stone like the Park Avenue Pueblo's instead of being made of Adobe, like others of the southwest. The whole region, including the valley of the Salt and Gila rivers, is covered with the remains of a network of prehistoric irrigation canals, which made the county once resemble the contemporary development in the valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates. Dr. Clark Wisler,

curator of anthropology of the American Museum of Natural History said yesterday that the prehistoric civilization of the great age of the southwest might have been wiped out by conquest, but that its disappearance was probably due to the farm problem. Wherever irrigation has been used, he said, there is danger that an accumulation of alkali in the soil will eventually destroy it for production. That is very probably what happened there. The same water is being used today, but precautions are taken to remove all the alkali before it is distributed to the farms. So a fascinating article from 1925, again published in the New York Times about ancient ruins discovered under Roosevelt Lake in Arizona.

Have you ever heard about this? And again, according to this article, they are stating these are very ancient ruins between two hundred, and 5,000 years old with exotic pottery and stone structures that they're calling apartments that were four and five stories high. All right. Moving right along, we got three articles left. This one is dated Monday, December 20th, 1897. So we're going back to the late 1800s.

And the headline of this article reads, Wisconsin Mound Open. and the subtitle reads, Skeleton found of a man over nine feet high with an enormous skull. The article reads as follows, quote, Maple Creek, Wisconsin, December 19th. One of the three recently discovered mounds in this town has been opened. In it was found the skeleton of a man of gigantic size. The bones measured from head to foot over nine feet and were in a fair state of preservation. The skull was as large as a half-bushal measure.

Some finely tempered rods of copper and other relics were lying near the bones. The mound from which these relics were taken is 10 feet high and 30 feet long and varies from 6 to 8 feet in width. The two mounds of lesser size will be excavated soon. Well, that article was short, but it was pretty sweet telling us it involved an excavate. Mound with a 9-foot-plus tall skeleton, copper relics, and other mounds nearby that are going to be excavated. Our second to last article here is dated Tuesday, June 9th, 1936, and the headline reads, Report, 8-foot skeletons. And the article reads as follows, quote, Miami, Florida, June 8th, a tale of human skeletons, 8th,

embedded in the sand of an uninhabited little island off southern Florida, was brought here today by three fishermen. They exhibited a piece of one skull containing six teeth. E.M. Miller zoologist at the University of Miami said the mandible was that of a man and was probably several hundred years old. It is entirely probable that this find might be important, he commented. The men said that the skulls. were unusually thick, the jaws protruded, and the eye sockets were high in the head, end quote.

So very enigmatic here. We got a little island off southern Florida, where this article is saying these eight-foot skeletons were found, plural, not one. Sounds like there was at least two of them. And apparently these skulls were very thick with big jaws and eye sockets that were high in the head. Very, very interesting. All right. Last but certainly not least is this New York Times article dated Monday, October 3rd, 1927. In the headline reads, quote, find eight foot skeleton, end quote. And then the subheadline reads this.

Explorers unearth bones in cave in Monroe County, Kentucky. And then it says special to the New York Times. And this article reads as follows, quote, Glasgow, Kentucky, October 2nd, John M. Nelson and Calvin Rogers, cave explorers with Nelson's three sons, today had completed explorations in a hardened cave in the Monroe County Cavern area

where they found the largest skeleton of a man ever discovered in Kentucky. This personage was more than eight feet tall according to a measurement of the bones fitted together after being taken from the cave. The skeleton was in a good state of preservation and is believed to have been that of an Indian, although it is possible it may be a member of an unknown tribe known to have inhabited that part of Kentucky before the Indian, as shown by skeletons found some years ago, which were more than eight feet in length. The man had been buried on his left side in the position one occupies when the knees are drawn up. The skeleton was about three feet under the cave entrance, level, and a great number of trinkets lay about the bones.

So this is a strange article, again dated October 3, 1927 of a supposed eight-foot skeleton found inside a cave, literally under the cave entrance. They're calling this the biggest skeleton ever discovered in Kentucky, and this was again in 1927. It was eight plus feet in length. They state the skeleton was in a good state of preservation. It was found with other trinkets. Man, I'd like to know more about that. It was three feet under the cave entrance. And then the author of this article is kind of saying, you know, we think this might be an Indian,

although it's possible it could be a member. of an unknown tribe that was known to have inhabited this part of Kentucky before the Indian. Are they talking about the giant mound builders? I think they probably are. And it continues, they were known to be part of Kentucky in this area before the Indian, as shown by skeletons found some years ago, which were more than eight feet in length. So the author is admitting to us

They've found other eight plus foot tall skeletons It says just years ago Well to me this is simply fascinating And I hope it was as interesting to you as it was me This is the kind of history that you're not going to read about In our mainstream history books Or read about on the nightly news But here it was published in the New York Times

October 3rd, 1927. Well, I hope you guys really enjoyed this episode. Thanks for listening. Stick around for a couple more minutes if you want to hear more about the upcoming Israel Petritur in March of 2006. And until next time, keep exploring. Please consider joining me and many friends for our Israel and Petra Tour March of 2006. This is going to be the adventure of a lifetime. We are going to explore the vast mysteries and histories of the Holy Land. We are going to experience the Bible

come alive literally in 3D as we walk where the great heroes of the Bible walked like Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Elijah, and David himself. John the Baptist, Christ himself. We will be visiting

many of the most important biblical locations such as the Sea of Galilee, Copernum, the Jordan River, Nazareth, the Dead Sea, the Temple Mount, the Western Wall, Jerusalem, Gassimini, Galgafa, the Tomb of the Patriarchs, Bethel, and much more. Yet this will not be your typical Holy Land tour as we will go off the beaten path to explore the area where the legendary watchers are said to have descended literally on Mount Hermon.

We will be right there. We will also go off-grid to visit the habitation of the watcher's nefarious giant offspring, v. Nephalim. We're going to go in search of their ancient archaeological ruins, such as Nimrod's fortress near Mount Hermon. We're going to go to the gates of hell near Caesarea Philippi, which was known by some as a literal portal to the underworld. We're going to go find what's known as Gilgal Raphaim or the Wheel of the Giants, which was this ancient archaeological structure that's a massive circle with the dolman in the center, we're literally going to go find this and go deep inside of it. And speaking of David versus Goliath, we are going to venture off trail to go find the very

valley of Elaa where David is slew the giant Nephilim Goliath. We're going to find this battlefield. And then we're literally going to follow the path that David took the 16 miles to Jerusalem where he took the skull of Goliath, we're going to go to Skull Hill Galgotha and see this giant skull-like hill and consider what might be buried inside it. Then we're going to go into the western wall underneath it in Jerusalem to behold the massive megalithic foundations of the first temple, where there are megalithic blocks down there that are some of the biggest in the world that I don't think a lot of people realize are in Jerusalem itself. And then for those who have chosen the Jordan Extension,

our journey will continue three more days and take us to one of the seven wonders of the world, the mysterious rock city of Petra. Here we will explore its mysterious chambers and consider the lost civilization and ancient technology used to engineer it. This will be an Israel and Petra tour for the ages.
