Marbles. Derek Olson here to reconstruct the prehistoric past with you. So in this episode, I feature a brand new interview I just did with researcher, author, and filmmaker Timothy Albarino about the younger dryest impact hypothesis and how it intersects with the ancient worldwide flood account. We also talk some about legendary Atlantis in the Golden Age civilization. You are not going to want to miss this episode. But before we jump into the interview, I want to remind you that registration is live for our second annual Megalithic Marvels of Egypt tour coming this May 17th through the 28th. And I want to invite you personally to join me and renowned Egyptologist and tour guide Muhammad Ibrahim for the adventure of a lifetime. A 12-day expedition to see and touch the world's

greatest superstructures. And for a limited time, you can receive $300 off registration by using code Egypt, 2003. That's Egypt, 2023, altogether, all capital. And I hope you will consider joining us. We're going to see the top spots in Egypt. We're going to have a private tour inside the Great Pyramid of Giza crawling through every chamber and passageway. We're going to examine the evidence in Egypt for lost ancient technology and for the megalithic civilization. that we believe predated the dynastic Egyptians of 3,000 BC.

So I hope you'll join us. Just click the link in the show notes below or go to megalithicmarvels.com forward slash tours. Okay, let's get in to my interview with Timothy Albarino right now. Well, I'm excited to be joined by Timothy Albarino today, the explorer, filmmaker, and author of the book, Birthright. Timothy, thanks for joining me again. Hey, thanks for having me back on.

Great to see you. And I think last time we talked last year, you said you might have had a new film or a project in the works. Anything you want to share with the audience about your latest happenings? I'm going to have a series that may end up being a TV show coming out before long. It'll be coming out on Epoch TV. and that won't be published until early next year, though. So I'm still in the editing stage of that project. And aside from that, we've got all kind of stuff going on.

I'm going to be in Tennessee with you and with Luke and Nate from the Blurry Creatures Podcast in January. I think that event is already sold out. The BlurryCon, I think they're calling it. So just a bunch of stuff going on. But yeah, that TV show will be dropping sometime early 2023. Exciting. And I assume that involves, you know, prehistoric megaliths and ancient civilizations type stuff, or is it in another vein?

Yeah. It's the first three episodes, I'm in Peru and we are, the first episode actually is right up your alley. It's all about the megalith builders, specifically the megalith builders. specifically the megalith builders in Peru. But we talked generally speaking, we deal with the phenomenon of megaliths and the hypothesis of a lost civilization, an advanced, ancient advanced prehistoric civilization. Yeah, I encourage everyone listening or watching to subscribe to Timothy's podcast, the Alborino Analysis, as well as his YouTube channel,

because you just put out a new episode from your birthright. series based on your book, which is also a must get. But this episode you just put out, it's called Empire the Gods. And I just watched it last night. And you hit on several topics that I'd like to ask you about. And you start out talking about the Younger Dryus Impact Hypothesis, which I think it's a really important discussion to have when trying to reconstruct the events of the prehistoric past. So kind of How does the Younger Dryce impact hypothesis correlate with a cataclysmic worldwide flood from the ages past? Well, the Younger Drys Impact Hypothesis is gaining traction, has been gaining traction in the last few years,

primarily because of Graham Hancock and Randall Carlson. They have appeared several times on Joe Rogan's podcast, so that really helped to proliferate the, the younger dryest impact hypothesis all over the internet. So it's becoming quite well known. And I've been watching over the last few years, I've been watching different lectures and documentaries and reading the scientific papers, kind of tracking with the younger dryas

and the impact hypothesis and what people, the ideas that people are beginning to formulate, regarding how it is that the climate of planet Earth changed so drastically 12,800 years ago and how the megafauna were extinguished overnight, basically. And that's always been a mystery. And of course, the prevailing ideology for the megafaunaal extinction. is what's called the overkill theory, which posits that mankind,

we were these voracious hunters, and when we came across the Bering Strait, the Clovis people, and down into North America, we were just so voracious that we destroyed all of the megaphaunal creatures. We killed, we basically eradicated them all just by over-kill, over-hunting.

And that's always been a dubious theory. I always thought that was actually, it seemed idiotic, really, that these primitive hunter-gatherer people could wipe out all of the saber-tooth tigers, all of the mastodons, all of the giant sloths. It's obviously, whatever happened was catastrophic enough to bring a sudden end to these animals. It was a mass extinction event. And certainly human deprivation, I'm sure, has a little part to play in that story. But it was obvious to me there was something grander going on, something that we were missing.

And when the Younger Dryness Impact Hypothesis came along, it seemed to really fill in the blanks. Of course, Graham Hancock in his books takes the same approach, has done some great work. and as I mentioned, Randall Carlson and others, the common impact research groups doing great work. And I think that they have at this point really concretized their case. The Younger Drys Impact Hypothesis, when they first came out of the gates with it, these geologists and these other scientists who've been working on this, they were ridiculed. The scientific community was rolling their eyes because they could not conceive of a comet impact,

Act 12,000 years ago. It just seemed inconceivable to them. They were also, they were also, they had subscribed so intensely to the overkill fairy that they were building much of their models, much of their models as to how, you know, the Clovis people disappeared and the animals, the megafauna, that this new theory just completely over-trial. turned that old theory. And so it was not well, it was not widely received. It was not well received. But that was years ago. Now it's becoming, I think, based on the papers I've read and based on even some of the mainstream articles that are coming out in support of the hypothesis,

the Younger Drives Impact Hypothesis. It's sort of turning the tide. The tide is beginning to turn. I think more and more scientists are getting on board with the hypothesis. So it's seem to me very, and that's a very long-winded answer, but it seemed to be very important. It seemed to be an important piece of the puzzle. And the more you look into it, the more it begins to sync with all kinds of other things that people like me and you study, the megaliths and the biblical, the biblical flood narrative and the cataclysm narratives that you can find all over the world among all of the primary cultures on earth. And it was always a question, for me, in terms of the biblical flood, it was always a question of, of A, how did it happen, and B, when did it happen?

And those two questions seem to be thoroughly, seemed to be thoroughly answered in this hypothesis. And for those who aren't familiar with the younger dry ass, the younger dry ass is, it refers to an abrupt return to ice age conditions after a prolonged period of warming. And this happened between 11,600 and 12,900 roughly years ago. So we're talking somewhere between 9,600 to 10,800 BC. And this was, it was, and it's very well known in geology that this occurred. And it was so drastic. This is why people are trying to figure out why what happened, what could have caused the climate to change so drastically. And the impact hypothesis

posits that a comet, a massive comet, broke up in the atmosphere or in outer space and the earth was bombarded with fragments of this comet. And specifically, it appears that the comet fragments collided with the North American ice sheet, the Laurentide Ice Sheet, that covered most North America, all of Canada. It was a mile to two miles thick in some places.

And these comet fragments collided into this ice sheet and wreaked havoc on the earth. Obviously liquidating much of the ice sheet, instantly liquidating it, vaporizing some of it. The temperatures at the ground zero of the impacts would have been equivalent to the surface of the sun. you would have had massive amounts of debris thrown up into the atmosphere, clouding up the atmosphere, falling back to the ground in black rain. You would have had volcanic, extreme volcanism being set off from the impacts, wildfires, extensive biomass burning. They say in the papers up to 9 or 10% of the Earth's,

forests were on fire of the earth's vegetation, 9 to 10% of the earth's vegetation was consumed in these wildfires from this comet impact event. So it was an unbelievable catastrophe. Obviously, you would have had flooding, catastrophic flooding all over the earth. Every continent would have experienced catastrophic flooding. The ocean levels would have risen precipitously, and you would have had tsunamis sweeping across islands and virtually wiping everything out in their path and other things as well. You'd have certainly, I think most certainly you would have had a, what's called an impact winter, which is very much like a nuclear winter, in which, as I previously stated,

that the atmosphere would have been, the atmosphere would have been blanketed with this, this debris, this residue, both from the comet impact itself and also from the biomass. burning from the smoke. So it would have darkened the sun. It would have blotted out the sun. You would have had an extended period of darkness on the earth, months of darkness, maybe even years of darkness, perhaps not complete darkness, but long periods of dark. And so that would have thrust the world back into ice age conditions, which is exactly what happened. And so the

common impact hypothesis seems to answer all the questions. It gives us the flood of Noah. It gives us, all of the other catastrophic, all of the other catastrophes, all of the other cataclysms described in around the world among these ancient cultures, most of whom remember a flood, many of whom remember tidal waves, some of whom remember black rain. I believe the Hopi people in the Hopi Indians in America remember the comet, actually seeing the comet, it's passed down in there. They call it a star it's passed down in there. their memory, their ancestral memory.

And so I've been looking for years for a, as I said in the beginning, the how and the when to answer those two questions regarding the cataclysm of the Great Flood, as it's generally known all over the earth. And then, of course, repeated in the Sumerian tale and the Egyptian tale and on and on. Yeah, I'm glad you bring up the Egyptian tale there. That was something you mentioned in your episode video was how the Egyptian records of legendary Atlantis seemed to point to the same event. Can you hit on that real quick? Yeah.

So among these cataclysm legends that we find all over the earth, the most famous is, of course, outside of the biblical narrative, would be the Atlantean cataclysm. We all are familiar with, most of us are familiar with the story of Atlantis, which comes almost exclusively from Plato's Critious Dialogue. And in the Critias Dialogue, Plato is relating a conversation between Solon of Athens, his relative actually, Solon of Athens and an old Egyptian priest of the goddess Naith from the city of Saiz. in Egypt. And this priest informs Solon that, first of all, he tells him that the Greeks don't have any history that's hoary with age. In other words, the Greeks are like children. They don't, their memory does not penetrate, penetrate very deeply into the past. Their records don't go back that very far, whereas the Egyptians kept copious records that went into the deep, deep antiquity into deep free history before the cataclysm and the priest informed Solon that

there have been many cataclysms. And then he begins to relate the story of Atlantis to Solon. And as he unfolds this story of Atlantis, he tells Solon that Atlantis, not only was Atlantis, not only do the Egyptians have a record of the destruction of Atlantis, the Egyptians have a reckoning of when Atlantis was destroyed. It was destroyed overnight in a terrible cataclysm, 9,000 years before their present age. And we know that so long visited Egypt in 600 BC. So the Egyptian priest is saying that according to the reckoning of the ancient Egyptian,

Atlantis was destroyed sometime around 9,600 BC. Now, that seems to correspond with the Younger Dryce Impact Hypothesis. I mean, which, by the way, the dates given for the hypothesis are approximate. So you're talking somewhere between 11,600 and 12,800 years ago, or if we really want to round it off between 12,000 and 13,000 years ago. And so that puts us sometime around 10,000 BC. And that's right in the neighborhood of where the Egyptians reckoned, of when the Egyptians reckoned that Atlantis was destroyed in this acquiesced cataclysm.

So you have this interesting synchronicity between the legend of Atlantis and the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis. And I find that intriguing. the Atlantis when Atlantis was destroyed what most people probably don't realize about the story of Atlantis according to Plato

when Atlantis was destroyed it wasn't this peace-loving utopia it was an aggressive expansionist empire and it was encroaching it had already conquered seven islands and and held sway over three continents

and it was encroaching on the kingdom of Athens, according to Plato. And Athens was the only kingdom that could stand up to Atlantis, that could rebut Atlantis and hold the tideback of their conquest. And so Atlantis and Athens were locked in a bloody conflict when this catacly. be fell the earth. And both Atlantis and Athens were swept away in the waters of a great flood. So these are details that a lot of people don't realize. It's not just the cataclysm that destroy Atlantis. It seems to be a global cataclysm of which Atlantis was one of the victims. It was utterly destroyed in a very short period of time. And what?

What's interesting is that the priest of Nath begins to tell the story of Atlantis to Solon by describing how the gods, the Olympian gods, had a portion of the earth amongst themselves. In other words, they divvied up the earth amongst themselves. And they chose wives from the daughters of men. And he says that Poseidon, the priest of Naith, says that Poseidon, for his part, For his allotment, he took the island of Atlantis. And he chose to wed Plato, the daughter of Evanor. And he copulated with Plato, a human woman.

So this is a god inseminating a human female, and she gave birth to five sets of twin hybrid sons. Now, other ancient manuscripts that relate the Atlantis legend, such as there's a ancient Tibetan manuscript, allegedly called the Book of Dizion that Helena Blavatsky references in her book The Secret Doctrine, which describes the kings of Atlantis as giants. And that obviously sinks with the biblical narrative and more specifically the book of Enoch. So you have these hybrid kings ruling over the rest of the rest of the,

the human populace on these seven islands and over the continents that they conquered. And it was this, it was what I call, it was an empire of the gods on planet Earth in which the gods, each of them had divided the earth amongst themselves and they were each of them ruling over their own little kingdom, established their own little kingdom and produced their own hybrid progeny, who became the kings of their kingdoms. And this, this, I believe, was a global phenomenon, which would have meant that there would have been a universal civilization all over the earth with the basic knowledge, the same basic knowledge, the same basic technology.

And I think that that sinks with the megalith phenomenon that we see all over the earth, because the megalith, the really large one, I'm not, the really impressive ones, not Stonehenge and not some of these other smaller megalith, megaliths that could have been devised by primitive people. I'm talking about the really big ones, the really impressive megalithic constructions, the foundations of Balbeck, the walls of Saxe-Waman, and so forth. And even in China, there's some absolutely mind-blowing megaliths in China that most people are not familiar with.

And they all seem to share the same features. They all seem to have those nodules on them. and those nodules are sometimes inside of the structures are not always on the outside of the blocks, which sort of negates the idea that they were placed there for certain things, certain features that would have been convenient on the outside of the blocks. There's all kinds of theories regarding those nodules. But the point is you see the same kind of stuff, the same kind of cuts made in the rock. All over the earth, there's some.

seems to have been a ubiquitous technology that was being used to cut this hard rock. And so that bespeaks a ubiquitous, a universal civilization. And I think this notion of an empire of the gods solves that question of how it is that we have megaliths all over the earth that appear to have been made by the same civilization with the same technology. And that is, I don't know whether Atlantis is very very. veritable history or not. I mean, it may be veritable history. Plato may have been relating the history of an actual city that existed in the antediluvian world. But at the very least,

I'm convinced that Atlantis represents that Atlantis is an allegory of the golden age. Zeptepi, as the Egyptians called it, when the gods walked among men, the first time when the God's lived among men and copulated with their daughters and set up this empire.
