Episode #057: Fossil Footprints and Digging for Arrowheads Jul 19, 2018

Show notes

After a brief sun probe update we read a short article on weird spacewhale sounds coming from a moon of Saturn, which sort of makes sense because the moon is covered in water but is still pretty weird because the water is all ice.

We then spend the next few segments describing our most recent SnakeBros SnakeForce Field Trip where we drank hundreds of beers in a river named after the devil, found lots of amazing ancient artifacts and dozens of world-class fossil footprints, located ancient beach sand in the middle of the desert, ate tons of tacos and pancakes, and destroyed an innocent cloud with mind bullets. The mysteries we saw in the field lead us into a conversation about the larger mysteries of human habitation in the Americas, ranging from the controversial Huyatlaco site in Mexico to strange carved stones found in the northeastern U.S. Enjoy!

This is one of the best sets of hominid prints The "mine shelter". This is taken from across the canyon; the grassy area beneath the overhang is the ancient scree of gravel sliding down the hill from the shelter. Just like mine tailings of modern mines. SnakeBros Cave Case - All the artifacts we found while digging

Note the Neanderthal print outline, top center... ...now compare it to this print Look at the center print, labeled Homo Erectus...see how the big toe is prominent while the other toes are missing....and the age given, 1.5 million years

....now compare that to this print...narrow profile, big toe prominent.... ....and another one, same profile, right foot instead of left ....and another, right foot This print is degraded by water erosion , but is still recognizable as a hominid print Perhaps an animal print? Or a degraded human print, very small, wearing some kind of footgear This looks like a very large human print, angled to the left, with a smaller print on its right side, angled right Degraded but still visible, size normal for a human print The lighter is next to a fairly clear print, notice all the degraded imprints around it Prints and toe marks I think this guy slipped a bit Two prints side by side, right one larger than the left. Again note all the imprints around them, particularly the print on the lower right Lots of prints, toes are clear in most of them Very clear set of toe marks from a right foot. Forgot to place lighter on this one, dammit Large foot. Toe prints. Small foot. Toe prints. This and the following two images are of very similar large prints of similar depth and size, but I have no idea what they are Mammoth? Or some other very large animal. Another mammoth-ish print. If this is a print, it is enormous. Forgot lighter, but the print was at least a yard long Big print, some animal The Hominid Path The whole field of prints. Note the definite walking pattern of the large circular prints heading away from the camera. Note that they continue underneath the hill to the right, because it wasn't there at the time the prints were made Incredibly deep, absolutely enormous print. Note the lighter inside the print to upper left For comparison, here is a huge sauropod print from Australia Possible tail swipe between unidentified, degraded prints What looks like fossil bone protruding from the solid rock A distant view of the shelter Russ hiked to A closer view of the shelter, from the base of the hill it was on The "giant coral brain" ceiling inside the shelter On the left is the fossil found in the shelter, possibly of an ancient giant version of the Gastropod shell on the right. Beach sand from inside the shelter Lighter inside a curve of petrified bark More petrified bark or wood stuck to the side of a large boulder Petrified wood protruding from stone Kyle walking along the wall where the rock paintings are in the mine shelter Faint rock painting marks Very faint but still visible Almost looks like some kind of script. NONSENSE SIR THAT IS ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLY RIDICULOUS HOW ABSOLUTELY DARE YOU SIR SnakeBros SnakeForce GO!!

Episode #056: Bananas are Impossible(Knock on Wood) Jul 12, 2018

Show notes

We open the show with some snakenews about how scientists are going to touch the sun from behind a supershield from 4 million miles away. We talk about the superstition of "knock on wood" and where it came from, and Russ reads an article on Ouija and then flips out about bananas, which Brett explains is a berry that grows on an herb that looks like a tree with potatoes for roots. After that, we talk again about doppler and redshift and how the universe is probably not what we think it is.

Episode #055: Retrocausality, CO2, and the Longevity of the Ancients Jul 05, 2018

Show notes

After a quick mention of the Lavanado in Hawaii being even more terrifying than a Sharknado, we will have been going to eventually then diving into a discussion about retrocausality and its wider implications for how it does previously later affect our future past actions. Once after we have will be finished that topic, we finally did eventually get our timeline straight by reading an article about the ancient Sumerian Kings List, which leads into a discussion on possible precessional clues and longevity of the gods and space genes. We finish out the episode discussing the carbon cycle and the fact that so much benefit to the biosphere has been shown to take place by increasing CO2 levels and thus massively increasing the awesomeness of plant life.

Episode #054: EM Fields and Ancient Technology Jun 28, 2018

Show notes

We begin by determining the plausibility of excited soccer fans in Mexico causing a 2.0 richter earthquake by converting the total energy of the earthquake into equivalent Black Cat explosions and dividing that into the estimated number of excited soccer fans. At roughly 72 Black Cats per fan, we here at SnakeBros have deemed that this is a plausible explanation(given the estimated number of tacos and nachos consumed prior to the goal being made). Kyle then reads several excerpts from Forgotten Civilizations, starting a whole conversation about electromagnetic fields and giant blocks and glowing crystal obelisks and the Yuga cycle and longheads and Vimana and secret Nepha spaceships and space genes and smartwater and basically that magnets can help you read minds and explode meteors over Russia and build pyramids and grow space genes. Also, Dolmens are involved. Somehow. Anyway hopefully you still have your appendix. Enjoy the show.

Episode #053: Pre-Columbian Contact and the Enigma of the Mines Jun 21, 2018

Show notes

After reading an excellent email from Mr. England about the simulation hypothesis, Russ reads a section from Dolmens: Part 2 in an attempt to show why he didn't understand wtf the author was trying to say even though it's clear the author does know a hell of a lot about those dolmen.....things. Kyle reads an excerpt from Dr. Robert Schoch's book Forgotten Civilizations about 12ft giants on Easter Island that moved the Moai statues by the simple expedient of allowing the volcano to explode and blow them all over the island. We go through three excellent Mine The Hive articles, on the Michigan Mines, evidence of precolombian contact with the Americas, and the London Hammer. We laugh about how uniformitarians explain away the latter by totally discarding uniformitarianism.... but you know, just that one time. Which is also very un-uniformitarianesque(we are allowed to make up words here at Snakebros). We finish off the show with some select axioms about truth-seeking and conspiritards. The Newberry Tablet Newberry Tablet Script Ship Petroglyph One of the mine entrances Handprint in stone, possibly of one of the miners. The hand is....kind of large. Just sayin'

Episode #052: Dolmens and the Wielders of the Shamir Jun 14, 2018

Show notes

Russ starts the show with a fantastic headline from the Flat Earth Society and then proceeds to flip out about aptronyms. Kyle then reads an article that points out that humans can live on Mars provided they are in space suits. We then turn to the topic of dolmens, the fact that over 90,000 of them have been found around the world, they are precisely engineered, are of uncertain age, and have no known function. We(mostly Kyle) gives several possibilities as to the function of these mysterious ancient constructions. After explaining that we'd love for people to help us pay to go get lost and die, we wrap it up with an overview of the picture of the ancient world that we have been outlining throughout the past 52 shows. Thanks for sticking with us this far, and enjoy the show!

Episode #051: What if it was the Sun Jun 09, 2018

Show notes

No description. Might be about the sun causing the last mass extinction. Listen and find out!

Episode #050: Ancient Lost Underground Cities Make Ahura Mazda Most Happy Jun 07, 2018

Show notes

No description, but there is a title. It's probably about Zoroastrianism.

Episode #049: Gods of Eden and Worlds in Collision May 25, 2018

Show notes

Kyle has been "reading" Velikovsky's "Worlds in Collision" so we spend most of the show discussing the alternate view of history Velikovsky proposes in that book, and in the fourth segment, Russ reads some excerpts from William Brambley's "Gods of Eden" regarding the medieval plagues and how those epidemics seemed to be a result of objects being seen in the sky and strange black clad figures moving through crop fields at night.

Episode #048: Sacred Geometry and Ancient Architects May 19, 2018

Show notes

Why do ancient ruins align astronomically, or incorporate fundamental universal constants such as π(Pi) or φ(Phi)? Why was world-changing, mind-opening knowledge made esoteric, concealed behind symbols in stories and works of art? Why do so many ancient ruins appear like mysterious puzzles, with clear traces of technology but unfathomable function? Why are pyramids so cool and who the fuck builds a stonehenge? These are some of the questions we completely fail to answer on this episode, continuing our discussion from previous episodes, stemming from Kyle's perusal of the Book of Enoch(by Enoch). References in the notes of that hoary tome led Russ to acquire Megalithic Architects Book 1: Thoth, the Architect of the Universe, by Ralph Ellis, a book that is concerned mostly with ancient metrology, or systems and units of measure. Why couldn't the ancients just use the metric system like normal, sane people who find simple arithmetic understanding like nine equals 3/4ths of 12 (9in. is 3/4 of one ft) too hard? Why are there three feet in a yard when we only have two feet? Why aren't inches called toes and why are there twelve in a foot when we only have ten, five to a foot? And which yard are they talking about anyway, the front or the back? We don't know the answers to these questions. Maybe the ancients hadn't "progressed" to the point where they needed to use fingers and toes to help them do basic arithmetic. That's evolution for ya, baby. We talk about all these things and more on this episode. Enjoy! P. S. To all you Metric System devotees out there: How long is a parking meter?
