Is it possible that some mythological creatures that ancient people spoke of were inspired by the fossil bones of extinct animals? Leah, one of our discord members, joins us to talk about an interesting theory that the mythological Griffin may have had it's origins in ancient gold miners discovering the fossil bones of a dinosaur called Protoceratops.

Here is the book referenced during the show:

And the Paleontology blog we read from:
Mark Witton's Blog: https://markwitton-com.blogspot.com/2016/04/why-protoceratops-almost-certainly.html

More investigation into the strange sets of "cart ruts" we explored in the Phrygian Valley in Turkey. We show more drone footage and photos, look at examples of "cart ruts" from the "Oregon Trail" in Wyoming, as well as actual ruts in mud for comparison. We read more emails with suggestions and ideas and discuss them.

Thank you all for your emails and comments! The ruts are a fascinating and enduring mystery.

We discuss the mystery of the "cart ruts in stone" we visited while we were in Turkey; looking at video on the ground as well as drone footage of several large groups of well-preserved ruts in ancient volcanic tuff. Who made the ruts, when were they made, and how were they made? We address these questions and more, as well as reading emails from listeners who have their own possible answers.

First episode in separate studios! Went well, and we had a fun discussion about the recent JRE Eric Weinstein episode, with the possibility that the science of Physics has been stalled, or purposefully distracted, by the beautiful but seemingly useless mathematics of String Theory. Is it possible that "real physics" simply went "black"...that work is being done in secret that is actually making progress in unlocking the secrets of the universe?

Still catching up on listener emails, we have some great ones in this episode as always, pyramid questions, ancient Australian Aboriginal stories, consciousness, and more.
At the end we discuss the future of the podcast, our plans, and Russ' upcoming move out of Texas.

Randall reads from a published paper that attempts to date the Great Pyramid using erosion patterns on foundation blocks that used to be partly covered by casing stones. Because we can pinpoint the time the casing stones were removed to within a few years, the erosion on the stone that used to be protected by the now-missing casing stones can be used to establish a baseline for the amount of time required for such erosion to occur. This can be compared to the erosion on the portions of the stone that was never protected, and thus a date for construction can be estimated. This leads us to studies on limestone erosion in general, and the evidence for catastrophic flooding along the Nile Valley, which leads us back to the Sphinx, and the erosion seen in the enclosure walls around it.
