Listener Josh Smart joins us to discuss and show his field explorations of the numerous old stone walls, chambers, and possible effigies that dot the landscape of Vermont. Listeners may recall that we have been to Vermont many times due to having family up there, and the last few times we have been, we have taken a day or two to drive around and look for these structures ourselves, including visiting an area known as the "Smith Farm" which has many of these strange and beautiful stone mounds and...

Yet another three hour show(this is a habit we're going to have to break), where we catch up on listener emails for the first half of the show, then tackle the remaining sections of " The Pyramids and Temples of Gizeh " that Kyle picked out. Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie lays out his relatively "standard model" perspective of how the pyramids may have been built, logistically speaking, using a core of year-round specialists, and an annual influx of unskilled labor from the general populati...

We thought we were going to take this week off for the holidays after last week's three hour marathon episode with Marty in which we continued going through his prepared material for the UFO series. But, there was so much information in that episode, and in the previous two episodes, that there wasn't much time for normal discussion. So we asked if Marty could return for a follow up episode to discuss the material, and also to respond to listener communications that have been building up regardi...

Marty returns for the end-of-year episode to dive back in to the more esoteric aspects of the UFO subject with us. As always, Marty brought an enormous amount of prepared work and research with him, which we presented on the show by having Russ read it, as we did with the previous two UFO episodes. We covered everything Marty brought this time in one episode, which means this is a massive episode that extends for more than three hours, with Marty bringing up more occult connections, strange visi...

Sebastian Lonberg joins us again this week, this time we do take a look at, and listen to, some of the video and audio Kyle and Sebastian recorded while in Egypt. Specifically we listen to the resonant qualities of some of the boxes in the Serapeum, and Kyle and Sebastian use various tools for analysis of the frequencies, and we talk about the details we noticed regarding the quality of the boxes themselves. Sebastian also reads some excerpts from a book called Egyptian Sonics by John Stuart Rei...

We are joined this week by Sebastian Lonberg, an audio engineer from Sweden who was with us on the Egypt trip. Sebastian was very interested in the resonant properties of the sites and objects we visited, and we had great discussions with him while we were there about his thoughts and theories on these effects. On this episode we talk about our overall thoughts on the acoustics and the possible reasons for them. Sebastian also reads from an excellent article by Tom Danley about his explorations ...

We give a brief outline of the almost 3000 years of the ancient Egyptian timeline as currently understood by standard model archaeology. Dynasties, Periods, Kingdoms, what they are, when they occurred, how long they lasted. Hopefully this will help a bit when you read or hear things like "in the 19th dynasty" or "this is an Old Kingdom structure". Much thanks to listener Patty for suggesting we do this. After that, Kyle reads selections from Petrie's The Pyramids and Temples of Gizeh , specifica...

We're joined by Seriah from Where did the Road Go podcast for a swapcast discussion about our Egypt trip. Seriah always asks great questions, so we have an excellent discussion about our evolving thoughts on the things we learned, and the things we unlearned, during our two weeks in Egypt. Executive Producers: Mark Rendina...

We continue our musings on the Egypt trip this week by responding to many excellent questions and comments from listeners by email and through the Discord server. (To join our Discord, click the connect button on our website here ) We learned a lot from that trip, but in the end we have no answers, only better questions. Executive Producers: Chandra Chell Michael Burroughs Associate Executive Producer: Liam Johnston...

We're back from our epic two week trip in Egypt with Ben from UnchartedX and Yousef from the Khemit School. We have many things to say about what we saw and experienced, and a mountain of photos and videos to go through. For this episode we are joined in-studio by The Watcher to attempt to give an overview of our thoughts and some highlights of the trip. Expect many more episodes like this to come as we dive deeper into the questions we have about what we saw in Egypt. Thanks so much to all of y...

We're busy preparing for Egypt but we did want to get another episode out before we left, and what better time to catch up on listener emails right before we leave for two weeks and get way behind again? Kyle reads some excellent news stories on human origins and humans in the "new world", as well as some strange and interesting new physics. We then tackle your emails for the rest of the show, which, as always, results in some great and fun discussions....

We're finally back from our Scablands trip and long road journey home, and, with only a week before we leave for Egypt, we plan to release a couple of episode to make up for the weeks we missed. Ben from UnchartedX was with us in the Scablands, so we got to hang out and get to know him better, and we agreed to do an episode together before we headed off to Egypt. Unlike our earlier swapcasts with Ben, this one is audio only and consists of a great philosophical discussion about the reasons we ar...

We're on the road, driving the whole family from the Scablands in Washington State all the way to Texas, and stopping at lots of cool and beautiful places along the way. We recorded this with a little handheld recorder in a sweet AirBnB cabin in Wyoming. It's raw and unedited. Hope you all enjoy. We'll be back to regular podcasting soon!

This episode is a free-form discussion about the topics and information presented by Marty in the UFO episodes, specifically focusing on the previous two episodes, 213 and 214, but also referencing some of the earlier UFO episodes as well. Do these complex rituals actually work? Or are they also a form of deception? Or, are they possibly Quant Suff of an actual science/technology of an earlier age? What is the nature of the things people call the "spirit" realm and the "supernatural"? Are these ...

This is the second episode in the two-part series of episodes titled "A History of Unlikely Coincidences" with Marty Garza. We recorded both of these in one sitting, reading through Marty's prepared material(which will hopefully become a book at some point) and discussing. By the time we finished with this episode all of us were too tired to record more, so there will be follow up to discuss these topics more at some point in the future. In this episode we continue from where we left off in the ...

Marty Garza returns once again with more of his excellent research and insights into the history of the UFO phenomenon. Marty had so much material prepared that this is the first in a two-part series, the second of which will be released next week as Episode #214. We recorded both episodes in one sitting. Lots of excellent material, as usual, fascinating stuff. This time we tried something different; Russ did all the reading of Marty's prepared material, like a normal book report, allowing Marty...

David Mathisen joins us once again to discuss the celestial origins of mythology. This episode we focus on Dionysus, the god of wine and revelry. This discussion syncs up well with our current situation here in Texas, as we are in the middle of harvest season and we are making wine ourselves. David tells the story of Dionysus, the thrice-born, giving many of the details and aspects of this mythological personality, and then shows how these details and aspects can be seen in the stars and constel...

We've been so far behind on listener emails for so long now that we decided it was time to catch up with a Listener Communications episode. We spend this entire episode reading your emails and responding to the topics and points you bring up. As always, the emails are excellent; fun to read, insightful and funny. We also streamed this show live to the Discord Chat , which is always fun. If you want to get in on the occasional live stream and join hundreds of like-minded snakes in excellent conve...

Every once in a while we decide we need to make an episode that can serve as an "entry point" for new listeners, and also to talk about our current state of mind and ideas on all the topics we discuss, and how they're connected. We first tried this in Episode 82 , at the request of a listener. It was a good idea, and we now think we ought to do it every so often, to talk about these subjects broadly, and to work out where we stand now. So this episode is a rambling, free-form conversation that h...

Long time listener and friend of the show Shannon joins us from across the pond in Yorkshire to discuss the fascinating legends, myths and folklore of the area she lives in, as well as a few of her experiences visiting some of the numerous ancient sites that dot the landscape. We talk about legends of druids and devils, giants and dragons, and of course, the fae. Shannon provided copious notes, images, and links for this episode, some of which we will include below, along with a few extra images...

We are joined this week by friend of the show Kyle Delisle. We met Kyle on the trip we took to the channeled scablands in Washington State earlier this year with Randall Carlson. Kyle is a Native American of the Iroquois, of the Mohawk nation, and he has been researching Iroquois traditions, legends, and mythology regarding the creation of the world, the creation of humans, giants, and other strange beings that were said to exist long ago. Kyle tells us about the formation of the Iroquois Confed...

Years ago we went over some of the cases in David Paulides' book, Missing 411-Western United States & Canada . Now we're tackling some of the cases in the next book, Missing 411-Eastern United States & Canada . We've chosen a specific set of cases from the book that are less well known and for the most part show a specific pattern: very young children who go missing and are found alive, days later, miles from where they disappeared. This is part 2 of that case study. We are using the boo...

Marty Garza joins us once again in the Tangent Cube, this time to deliver an episode on legends of the Skinwalker, and the history of Skinwalker Ranch. Marty says this is in preparation for the material he will be presenting for Part 5 of the UFO series. We discuss the history of the skinwalker and the American Indian legends regarding them in the Uinta Basin, the wars and skirmishes between the Utes, the Navajo, and the European settlers of the area, leading up to the land of the ranch itself. ...

This is the final episode of our reading of The Hidden History of the Human Race by Michael Cremo and Richard Thompson. We finish the sections on the problems of "dating by morphology" in which anthropologists use their preconceptions about the evolution of man to place their fossil findings in a chronologically linear timeline even though the actual evidence does not present so clear a picture. The final section of the book that we look at in detail is about reports and sightings of "wildmen", ...

Continuing with The Hidden History of the Human Race by Michael Cremo and Richard Thompson, we finish the section on the Piltdown Man discoveries and the later exposing as a very complex hoax. We then look at the details of the Beijing Man discoveries, the funding by the Rockefeller Foundation, and the methods used by the people involved to popularize this discovery when it was only a couple of teeth. Again, it should be made clear that studying these discoveries through this book is not necessa...

Back to our deep dive into The Hidden History of the Human Race by Michael Cremo and Richard Thompson for part eight! We continue on from where we were in part seven, looking at the "Java man" discovery of what would later be come known as Homo Erectus , by Eugene Dubois, and the problems and arguments surrounding those finds at the time. We read about another paleoanthropologist, von Koenigswald, returning to the same site in Java to look for further evidence of this "missing link", and the pro...

This episode is a celebration of 200 episodes of the Brothers of the Serpent podcast. (If you're wondering why we did this on episode 201 instead of 200, it's because the podcast starts with episode 002!) Using an extensive list of clips from older episodes, all marked and prepared by listeners, we look back at how the podcast has grown and changed, and mostly at how many dumb jokes we've made. We're joined in studio by Marty, from the UFO episodes, as a representative of the Discord SnakeForce,...

We take a break from the book report to talk about the ongoing UFO conversation happening in the mainstream right now. Russ gives a synopsis of Jacques Vallee's new book, TRINITY: The Best-Kept Secret , that he co-authored with Paola Harris, about a possible crash in the New Mexico desert several years before the infamous Roswell incident. We also discuss Vallee's previous works, which Russ has been re-reading, and how utterly strange this phenomena is, and how the current "disclosure", whatever...

Continuing on in what is becoming one of our most in depth and lengthy book dives, we move forward in The Hidden History of the Human Race by Michael Cremo and Richard Thompson, finishing up the anomalous human remains section with some extremely anomalous finds, including well-documented and discussed sets of human-like footprint tracks in Carboniferous strata. We then move on to Part II of the book, which details finds of ancient human remains that are well accepted in the literature and by mo...
