Seriah, the host of the excellent show "Where Did the Road Go", joins us this week for a swapcast conversation about all the topics we're interested in. We talk UFOs, ancient civilizations, pyramids, Gobekli Tepe and Derenkuyu. We throw in some scifi discussion as well for good measure.

We then move on to some discussion of further observations on the construction of pyramids and new things we learned in our recent trip in Egypt.

In the second half of the show, we talk about the amazing cart ruts we visited in the Phrygian Valley in Turkey. We show lots of pictures and video, and discuss and discard multiple hypotheses on what they are and how they were formed.

We actually recorded this just before we left for Egypt in March this year; it's been in the hopper for a while! Dan Friday, a Native American craftsman and professional glassmaker, joins us to talk about his fascination with glass artifacts of ancient Egypt. Dan was with us on one of our Egypt tours a few years ago, and shared some of his fascination with us at the time.

Along with glassmaking and ancient glass, we also discuss the egyptian vases, the fascinating topic of the Rupert's Drop, connections between ancient mythologies, and much more.

This was a fun discussion! Back in the tangent cube at last, we cover some of the highlights of our long trip through Egypt and Turkey, from Cappadocia and Derenkuyu to Gobekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe, the Pyramids and the Osirieon, ancient tools and lost vaults of knowledge. We talk about the mythology connected with the structures, and focus a lot of time on the Osiris Myth. Thank you all for your patience as we travel, and your continued support!

We recorded this in a hotel room right next to the Giza Plateau in Egypt, and we spend the first hour discussing the results of the now-famous Synthetic Aperture Radar scans of the Khafre Pyramid, and the claims of large structures hidden in the bedrock below the pyramid proper.
We also talk a bit about the strange "well shaft" of the Great Pyramid, which we explored again this year, and the mysterious "Grotto" chamber at the top of the well shaft.

Finally, we read some very interesting new findings by physicist Max Fomitchev-Zamilov in the subject of the Egyptian stone vases. Max has discovered that there is a higher concentration of radioactive elements in vases of higher quality and precision, at least in the limited samples he has been able to scan. We read about his preliminmary results from his website, which can be found here:
https://maximus.energy/index.php/2025/03/30/excess-of-thorium-232-in-ancient-egyptian-stone-vessels/

We also read from a related article on Max's website, about "nuclear machining", a technique that Max says could explain the seeming ease with which the ancient vases were manufactured, as well as the higher concentration of radioactive materials in the quality samples.

Adam Young is the owner of the "OG Vase", the original ancient egyptian stone vase that was scanned with a high precision structured light scanner. Adam has since formed the Artifact Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to doing research on these ancient objects in the field and in the lab.
