Full lecture from the 2026 Snippy festival.
Dr. Robert M. Schoch is Director of the Institute for the Study of the Origins of Civilization (ISOC) at Boston University's College of General Studies, where he has been a faculty member since 1984.
He earned his Ph.D. in Geology and Geophysics from Yale University in 1983. Schoch maintains that true civilization existed 12,000 years ago and was decimated by the cataclysmic events, initiated by our Sun, that ended the last ice age, circa 9700 BCE.
With John Anthony West, in the early 1990s Schoch uncovered geological evidence (water-weathering and water-erosion features) indicating the origins of the Great Sphinx date back millennia prior to its conventional dating of circa 2500 BCE. Subsequently, excavations of the 12,000-year-old megalithic site of Göbekli Tepe confirmed Schoch's assertions regarding the extreme antiquity of civilization.
Michael Cremo is coauthor with Richard Thompson of Forbidden Archeology. He is also author of Human Devolution: A Vedic Alternative to Darwin's Theory as well as My Science, My Religion – a collection of his scientific papers.
In this 2021 rebooted video he describes the Vedic worldview as one in which consciousness, rather than matter, is considered fundamental. The Vedic universe is populated by a vast array of entities including both extraterrestrial and extra-dimensional.
There are deities and demonic entities covering a wide range of technological and spiritual attainments. Flying vehicles are frequently described. Some are described in mechanical terms others are completely mental, or spiritual, in nature. Cremo points out that there are many similarities between modern UFO reports and ancient Vedic accounts.
Paul Stonehill on the early Celtic hillfort at Horné Orešany in western Slovakia, on Slepý vrch in the Little Carpathians, excavated under Karol Pieta. He reads the 5th–4th century BCE finds, then asks whether a bronze fibula of a horned figure on a horseless vehicle is an ancient Segway, and whether horned humanoids once lived in Central Europe.
I'm high up in the Andes Mountains, showing you the evidence for lost civilisations that mainstream historians and archeologists choose to ignore.
Project Unity films at 11,000 feet in Cusco: mortarless polygonal walls, the twelve-angled stone, Coricancha, Sacsayhuamán, and Ollantaytambo. The film argues this precision work predates the Inca, whose conventional span is shorter than the building of Milan Cathedral. The trip starts with the Chinkana excavation under Sacsayhuamán, then a bedrock passage and a carved black stone altar in the Sacred Valley. Stone knobs on the blocks are set beside similar marks in Egypt, at the Aswan quarry and on the Giza plateau.

Tyler Engle, creator of @BassForge_us explores the mysteries of ancient civilizations through the lens of engineering, physics, sacred geometry, and consciousness.
From the Great Pyramid and the temples of Egypt to the massive stonework of Peru and ancient sites across Southeast Asia, Tyler shares his theories on megalithic architecture, acoustics, resonance, and whether these structures may have served purposes far beyond what we currently understand.
The conversation also dives into lost civilizations, ancient technology, consciousness, sacred geometry, and the recurring patterns Tyler sees connecting ancient sites around the world.

A 2,400-year-old silver-gilt disc found in 1969 at Ai Khanum, a Hellenistic city in northern Afghanistan, shows a lion-drawn chariot, goddesses, an altar, and a celestial sphere with sun, moon, and a rayed deity.
Paul Stonehill walks through the French excavation, the Cybele and Nike reading, and how this Greco-Bactrian object sits at the edge of the ancient oikoumene, later reused on the path to the Kushan world.
Description:
Ancient Egypt’s colossal statues, from the shattered colossus of Ramesses the Second at the Ramesseum to the enormous fragments at Tanis, Karnak, and the Colossi of Memnon. These monuments were carved from granite, quartzite, and other extremely hard stones, with some estimated to weigh more than 1,000 tons and be transported across vast distances.
We examine the engineering challenges, geometric precision, colossal hand and foot fragments, and the controversial theory that some of these monuments may have been inherited and later re-inscribed by dynastic rulers. Could ancient builders really have achieved this with sledges, bronze tools, and manpower alone, or do these statues preserve evidence of a lost technology from Egypt’s distant past?

The Lost Labyrinth of Egypt at Hawara may conceal one of archaeology’s greatest mysteries: enormous underground chambers, megalithic walls, multiple subterranean levels, and a controversial forty-meter metallic anomaly detected in disputed remote-sensing interpretations.
This investigation explores Flinders Petrie’s discoveries, the Mataha Expedition, Carmen Boulter’s scans, Timothy Akers and Merlin Burrows, Herodotus’ ancient account of three thousand chambers, and the new excavations now underway at Hawara. Could the legendary Labyrinth of Amenemhat III still survive beneath the desert—and could its deepest levels reveal evidence of a forgotten prehistoric civilization?

Ancient history researcher Nilesh Oak joins the Matt Beall Podcast to explore the origins and timeline of ancient Indian civilization.
Drawing from more than 35 years of research, Oak explains his controversial dating of the Mahabharata and Ramayana and how he uses astronomy, archaeology, genetics, oceanography, ancient texts, and other scientific evidence to challenge conventional timelines of Indian history.
The conversation explores the Mahabharata War, the Ramayana, Vedic texts, ancient astronomical observations, the lost city of Dwarka, dramatic changes in sea level, genetic bottlenecks, and the possibility that India’s recorded history reaches much further into the past than commonly accepted.
Here he discusses a variety of plants that are used for both medicinal and entheogenic purposes – including dandelions, mescal, psilocybin mushrooms, cannabis, coca, and ayahuasca. He points out that the use of these substances throughout the world goes back far in history. They emerged from cultures that believed in animistic spiritual forces. Modern, industrial cultures tend to abuse these medicines.

Paul Stonehill covers a new Russian find: large Viking-age graves holding a man and a woman, dubbed a headless Viking and his companion. He places the burial in the Varangian story — Swedish warriors, traders, and settlers who moved into today's Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine in the 8th–9th centuries and helped form Kievan Rus.

Irving Finkel, PhD, is Senior Assistant Keeper of ancient Mesopotamian script, languages, and cultures at the British Museum. He is the curator in charge of cuneiform inscriptions on tablets of clay from ancient Mesopotamia, of which the Middle East Department has the largest collection of any modern museum.
He is author of several books, including, The First Ghosts: Most Ancient of Legacies, The Ark Before Noah: Decoding the Story of the Flood, The Lewis Chessmen and What Happened to Them, and The Last Resort Library. The British Museum website is britishmuseum.org.
In this video, rebooted from 2024, Irving Finkel shares the magical literature found in ancient Mesopotamia on tablets of clay with cuneiform writing in 2,500 B.C. that brings to life how the Sumerians, Babylonians, and Assyrians operated with primarily benevolent forces to nullify evil, drive out demons and ghosts, and navigate witches and wizards.

Taylor McMahon joins me for a deep dive into one of the strangest and most unsettling rabbit holes in recent memory: Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous island temple, its bizarre architecture, occult/esoteric symbolism, and the larger question of Epstein's esoteric interests. We also explore why elite power so often seems to orbit strange rituals, secrecy, and mythic imagery.
What if the Epstein story is not only a tale of corruption, blackmail, and elite depravity — but also a grotesque modern echo of ancient temple craft, occult symbolism, and inverted sacred ritual?
In this one, Taylor and I explore the strange symbolic architecture of Epstein’s island temple, the sacred objects he allegedly collected, the Crowley/Parsons/Babylon Working resonances, the difference between true esoteric wisdom and its corrupted shadow, and why symbols still rule the world — even when modern minds pretend they don’t.
We also spiral into UFOs, fairies, angels, demons, John Keel, Jacques Vallée, Diana Pasulka, Robert Monroe, loosh, prison planet lore, and the question of whether physical reality is just one mask worn by something much stranger.
In this wide-ranging conversation, Dr. Richard Alan Miller explores some of the most controversial topics of his career, including ancient Sumerian knowledge, consciousness, the future of humanity, magnetic pole shifts, artificial intelligence, hidden history, and what ancient civilizations may have understood about life, death, and reality itself.
Topics discussed include:
✔ Ancient Sumerian Tablets
✔ Consciousness & Dream-State Reality
✔ Magnetic Pole Shift Theories
✔ AI & The Coming Singularity
✔ Hidden History & Lost Knowledge
✔ Near-Death Questions
✔ Intuition & ESP Research
✔ The Future of Humanity
