  • #16 - Ian Hinton. Medieval Church Secrets: Investigating Freemason Alignment Theories

    #16 - Ian Hinton. Medieval Church Secrets: Investigating Freemason Alignment Theories
    May 21 2024
    18th-century Freemasons believed medieval church architects in England oriented their buildings with the azimuth of sunrise on the day of the patronal saint. However, having spent over ten years exploring the English countryside with a compass Ian Hinton surveyed the alignments of over 2000 rural churches and his work thoroughly debunks this romantic masonic notion.

    In this episode Ian discusses the hidden complexities of church building, revealing a suite of masonic secrets and myths. And after explaining why leylines are “utter nonsense,” Ian reveals how his database of alignments suggests changing weather and climate patterns were key factors in the orientation of English churches.

    #15 - Professor Timothy Pauketat. Beneath Cahokia: Unearthing Ancient American Pyramid Mounds
    May 14 2024
    Professor Timothy Pauketat, Director of the Illinois State Archaeological Survey, is a leading authority on Mesoamerican-Southwestern connections, and in this conversation he reveals the secrets of Cahokia, the major precolonial ceremonial centre located near St. Louis, Missouri, in the Midwestern region of the United States.

    Journeying into indigenous American cultures' astronomy and sacred geography, Timothy presents an astronomically aligned landscape reflecting the Milky Way and key stages of the lunar cycle. And he also discusses the possible functions of the enigmatic Birdman tablet, the controversial Chaco Meridian, and the role of frog sounds in ancient rituals and climatology.

  • #14 - Dr. Philip Tonner. Heidegger, Dwelling and Prehistoric Metaphysics

    #14 - Dr. Philip Tonner. Heidegger, Dwelling and Prehistoric Metaphysics
    May 2 2024
    With a background in philosophy, archaeology, and education Dr. Philip Tonner has taught at a number of Universities and secondary schools across the UK, and he is currently a Lecturer at the University of Glasgow’s School of Education.

    Regarding his recent book - Dwelling: Heidegger, Archaeology, Mortality, one reviewer wrote “There really isn’t any directly comparable book – it is unique,” and in many ways so too is the following conversation.

    In this episode we discuss the Phenomenology of archaeology in the context of palaeolithic and Neolithic cultures. Philip shares Heidegger’s work on “Dwelling,” a lifestyle in which agents were consumed by the practical needs of day to day living, where the modern thresholds between mind and body, or thought and action, were nonexistent.

    This discussion presents an enthralling liminal voyage into ancient mind and cognition through the perspectives of Heidegger, and the interpretations and expansions of Dr. Philip Tonner.
