Randall Carlson: The Great Upheaval

go ahead and click it. We're slowly ramping up. I think we only have about five, maybe six new videos, but we're bringing back the A listers. We're currently editing Graham Hancock. This week's Randall Carlson Randall will be up on Saturday, the twenty six, could be earlier, but we're going back. We have all the greats, Robert Temple, early versions of John, Anthony West, Robert Schock, A listers, all the top people, Chris Donne and so on and so on. So you know, it's been tough, tough. I have to

admit I've run into some bad luck. I had a

production company in London that was working on our videos. They were purchased by another company and they didn't like our material and so they dropped us, even though we had over one hundred thousand likes and we were rocking it. They didn't like us, and so they dropped us without really any fanfare, any transitional support. And it's funny because when you have somebody editing your work, you got to be really careful who you're working with because they could

edit out some important material. So to have a team in place that is kind of understanding of your material, they won't edit out key details, they will make the product better. That is a challenge. And I want to say the team of Face Sale Parves and everyone who works at his company, facil You guys rock and you are a wonderful addition to the earth Ansians family. And I really appreciate you and what you're doing. So when you hear me acknowledge face All at the end of

every program, you'll know who I'm talking about. And he happens to be in Pakistan. I'm here in San Francisco, California, and I love that. You know, a few years ago, you know, international trade or international consultants were iffy, but this is part of the growth. This is part of international trade working with other companies and trusting that they'll do a good job. And I got to tell you, Fasil has done a wonderful job. I trust him implicitly, and he is so talented. We're going to do the

best of Graham Hancock, the best of Randall Carlson. We're gonna do see some of these best of because remember Earth Ancients was launched in twenty fourteen, in the infancy, or I should say during the infancy of podcasting. Now, we didn't start doing the zoom until twenty twenty, and

so we won't have anything before twenty twenty. But we all have some fantastic early interviews with some of the most brilliant, brightest and wonderfully and insightful guests that Earth Ancients has had over the years, and we're slowly repopulating these the channel so that you get a sense of the past, you can get a sense of the present, and in some cases we have people that are speaking about the future.

it's a wonderful support for Earth ancients. It's a wonderful addition to Earth ancients because in many cases it is about the subtleties of our past. The meditation practice is understanding the physiology, understanding how our ancestors walk the planet and use psychic abilities, understood the energetics of the Earth simply by closing their eyes and being more in touch with nature. And so Destiny is wonderful because we're talking

about DMT, we're talking about ayahuasca. When I had Graham Hancock on the program presenting information on Visionary at the time,

that was all about ayahuasca and his journeying seventy plus times on ayahuasca. So that's a critical, critical part of the program. So my point is that we're not quite up to speed with Destiny. We are still building a website, but I would like to fully represent the guests with

its own YouTube channel. So but we're mostly known, I should say, Cliff Dunning myself, yours truly is known mostly for Earth Ancients, and Earth Ancients is an international phenomenon, and I think it's you know, it's very fitting that we have a new channel, with a new team and with a whole new brand. The introduction, by the way, for people who want to know what the introduction, the music at every at the beginning of very show is it's called Atlantis and it's a studio artist. You can

actually look it up and find it. It's called Atlantis by Olive Music. I think it's a French band there, studio artist, and I think you can actually order a copy of it. It's studio music, though there's it's not something you want to play all the time. I took only a few seconds of it. It's running at two minutes forty five seconds, so it kind of repeats itself. It's made for commercials. So if you're really desperate for a copy, send me an email. Send it to Earth

Agents the number four of the letter. You a Gmail, and I promise to get it back to you. I'll get you a copy that you can listen to. So there you go. We are officially on YouTube and it's getting it's growing on a daily basis, on a weekly basis, and I will be announcing today's guest is Randall Carlson. He has a ton of visual items including graphs, photographs, and images to promote his talk today, and it's always fun to have Randall. We haven't had Randall on for

about a year. He was scheduled to be part of the Cosmic Summit team of guests, but we couldn't get him on quite at the same time, so we are presenting him today and I want to mention that he is talking about some things that are a little different, most notably this turid meteor stream, which I've only learned about recently in the last year, and the fact that Earth passes through this twice a year, twice a year year.

And you'll hear that Randall is sounding the alarm for more awareness of this stream because it's likely to have hit once about sixty six million years ago that wiped out the dinosaurs and caused it was a terminating event.

If there were human like civilizations or groups, they were destroyed, as well as the MegaFon of the big animals, pretty much the dinosaurs too. Everything was destroyed. It was it was terminating. Obviously, there were enough of these early hominin people or beings that we could reboot. But again we went through the stream, this toward media stream again around nine thousand, five hundred BC hundred twelve thousand, seven hundred

years ago, and it disturbed. We got nailed with another their asteroid that ended the Younger Driest definitely wiped out a great deal of animal life, and we're gonna learn all about that today and why it's important to be more aware of passing through this and really being prepared, and so we kind of end the show on that on that theme. So today's program is the Great Upheaval, and my guest is Randall Carlson, so he's good at checking.

With Randall Carlson. We missed Randall at the Cosmic Summit recently. He was the keynote there. From all indications, he rocked the boat as he always does, and people were just astounded at his material. Today's theme with Randall is the Great Upheaval, and we'll get to exactly what that means shortly. But Randall is a what you can consider a rogue

geologist who's traveling the country constantly. And by the way, if you ever want to get a sense of what has happened to our planet, join when Randall's tours are excellent and he goes all over the United States pointing out geological disasters front and center. So hey, Randal, good to see you. Man, how you been.

cosmic summit? What's your What was your impression?

our own understanding of the past. And there's a whole lot more to it than was assumed even a generation or two ago. You know, the human past on planet Earth, and I know you of all people are well aware of this is a little much deeper and much more complex than the textbook versions of prehistory.

I don't know enough about pottery and that side of the thing to have much of an opinion other than the fact it seems to me that you know, people like Ben van Kirkwick and who's the other guy who's been doing a lot of work on there, you know.

through this. I guess it's called torred meteor stream twice yearly, and for the most part the meteors and other solid objects are so small that they burn up an Earth's atmosphere. But it's the feeling, your feeling and a few other people's feelings that during this impact. This is where this

terminating meteor came from.

two thousand and seven a paper came out. It was lead author was Richard Firestone, Alan West, and I think there was seventeen co authors, including George Howard I think his name was on that paper as well. Where they begin to look at this well defined layer, can in a minute here we can pull up so people can see what actually defines that layer. It's called the black mate.

You've heard of that, Yeah, Now there are black mats that are basically they are creating in environments where there's moisture, where algae blooms, and so there are different black matte layers with different dating, but there is a very prominent one at the Younger Drives boundary, and so they took a closer look at that, and what they found there was proxies for impact for an impact of some kind of a cosmic object, an asteroid or a comet or

something in between. Like we now know that the whole definition of comet an asteroid has gotten very plastic, because used to be they were very distinct objects in space. But now what's happened there's a lot of hybrids and there's almost a continuum of objects. There are comet like

asteroids and there are asteroid like comets. So whatever it was, and the critics of the hypothesis, one of the things that they kept emphasizing was that the proxies you know what I mean by a proc see in other words, we're not seeing the impact itself for the actual object. So we have to look at the secondary consequences. For example, if you have diamonds, nanodiamonds that are only created under extremely high pressure, right, that's a proxy, So you go, Okay,

there had to be something here. We don't see the actual object, but we see the effects of that object, so that's a proxy. A proxy might be little marble like spherals that form when you have a hypervelocity impact. One of the things that it does is it rapidly melts not only itself but the target material that it crashes into, and that will create a vapor, and when that vapor cools and crystallizes out, it'll rain back to Earth and you'll get these small little microspherals. They're very shiny.

That's a proxy. And you have metals platinum group metals that are rare in the surface of the Earth but abundant in asteroids, and meteors like a radium and platinum, osmium, ruthenium, and so if you see, and this is how they discovered back in seventy nine to eighty when the scientists Walter Alvarez and his father and their team discovered that there had been an impact at the KT boundaries. It's called that's the one sixty six million years ago where

the dinosaurs went extinct. For years and years, the question had been what caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. Well, so Walter Alvarez and his team, they were looking at this boundary layer very kind of in a way similar to the Younger Dryas boundary layer, except separated by sixty

six million years, right, But they're looking at this boundary layer, and they wanted to know over this little thick layer, they want to know, Okay, how long did it take for this layer here to be deposited. Was it a couple of days or was it a couple of centuries or what was it? So they knew that there's a steady rain of cosmic material, a gentle, steady rain of

microscopic cosmic material to the Earth from space. Right, Iridium is one of those things that comes down in this cosmic dusting that's taking place constantly even as we speak. But so what they were going to do is they were going to look at the iridium and try to figure out because they pretty much assumed the rate at which the iridium dust is accreating to the Earth. But then they looked there and they realized that, wait a second, this is like more than one hundred times more dense

than the background amount. So just so right there at that kt boundary, you have this big spike of iridium above it, it goes back to the background, which is less than a hundredth and below it. So you've this much iridium below it, you've got this much iridium above it, and then in that one little little naire layer you've got a huge amount of a radium. So they contacted their colleagues around the world and to go, I said, go back and take a look at that KT boundary

and see if there's an iridium spie. So there was scientists in Denmark and scientists in New Zealand that were early on. They go and they found the KT boundary in Denmark and they looked at it, and sure enough, there was a huge iridium spie in New Zealand. They looked huge iridium spike. Well over the next year or two, sites all over the world from that sixty six million

year dinosaur killing era all had this cosmic metal. So then you sort of reverse engineer and you go, Okay, it looks like the entire planet got dusted with a radium. Now we know the percentage the content of iridium that's say in an asteroid, right, we know how much is in a meteorite. So in order to get enough iridium to dust the whole world. How big of an asteroid do you need to deliver that volume of iridium? Well, the calculations were about a six mile in diameter asteroid.

the dinosaurs. And it may have not been overnight, but it was probably it was in a very very short period of time.

this conversation today. In fact, we wouldn't even be here because human beings, unless they had figured out how to get into space, wouldn't have survived an event of that severity. You know, it was just it was worldwide. There was worldwide firestorms, There were vulcanism on a huge scale that was triggered. There was seismic responses like earthquakes ten to one hundred times more powerful than anything we've experienced in

modern times. The list of acid rain with a of like one, so you know, it's like battery ass a rainstorm of battery acid. Then then there was the cosmic winter that you know, there was so for decades. Then the whole planet froze over. I mean, yeah, it was

really bad time to be alive. Now, that's sixty six million years ago, the younger, dryest boundaries, like I said, a little bit less than twelve nine hundred years ago, and it's not of the same scale, and yet relative to what we've experienced in modern civilization and since the rise of modern science, it was extreme. It was an extreme event in its own right, and the more we learn about it, the more widespread it gets, like at

first it was maybe just regional to North America. Well then you know, then then evidence is being found in Chile, in Argentina, in Patagonia, even looks like in Antarctica. Now it's being found recently, younger, driest evidence was found in Siberia. So it looks like it's worldwide.

quarters of their megafaunal species by the younger dryas. It looks like some of the extinctions might have started a little earlier. There may have been a few survivals past the younger dryests, but they died out shortly thereafter. But it looks like the younger dryat is pretty much the boundary where you see the final termination of the megafauna. Let's define megafauna anything more than about one hundred pounds in body weight, so that would qualify youman Eyecliff, as

being megafauna you were in case you were wondering. So so three quarters, roughly three quarters now go to Eurasia,

about thirty five percent go to Africa, about ten depends on who's counting, but ten, maybe fifteen percent. So what it looks like is the western hemisphere was more severely impacted, say than Europe and Asia and Africa for sure, the northern hemisphere probably more severely impacted than the southern hemisphere. I think that North America was probably ground zero for

a series of impact events. But to me, what you can extrapolate from that is that, again, if the species loss is a yardstick for habitat loss, then the greatest habitat loss would have been in North and South America. And I used to think that North America had the most species loss, but South America is right there. They're very close in some course, and even with some estimates, South America might have lost a few more species in

North America. And I haven't studied the geology and the planetary transitions in the region of South America like I have North America. But when we look at Africa, look at the Serengate Plaine and think about the megafauna. That's the greatest concentration of megafauna on Earth today. Seenate plane. You've got the elephants and giraffes, and hippos and rhinos, and you know all these animals. Buffalo, You've got list

goes on and on right. You've got lions, You've got cheetahs, You've got all of the and those basically are left over from the Pleistocene, the epoch that was ended with the Younger dryas the unger biases. That's sort of the boundary, the marker for this transition between two and a half million years of the Pleistocene into the eleven six hundred years of the Holocene. And you think about the Holocene that's the geological term for it. The Holocene is basically

where we see the rise of civilation. You know, and think about this cliff if you've got you go back eight to ten thousand years and this is when you see what they call it the agricultural revolution, one of these great transitions from a hunter gatherer migratory lifestyle into farming. Right, Okay,

So this occurs in that millennia or two, right after the Younger drives and we see transition to farming. We see the domestication of animals on a wide scale. Again within that same meliu, we see the dispersion of languages.

If you study languages in the language tree, you see that that major dispersion of languages takes place in that same window of a couple of millennium When did we see the first urban complexes arise in a few isolated places between seven and eight thousand years ago, we really see the major flowering of civilization, for example in Egypt or Samaria along the Tigris Euphrates River valley or the Indus River valley in that part of the world, or in you know, there was a rise of civilization along

the Amazon at that time Graham Hancock has documented that quite well, we see the very first monumental earthwork architecture in America during that same few centuries. That is putting us between forty five hundred years ago and five thousand years ago. What's becoming a parent now, Cliff. The evidence is pointing to the fact that, just like there were many species that went extinct, you do not think about this.

You don't go in and exterminate three quarters of all species and in a quarter that's remaining is completely unscathed. And in fact, think about the near extinction of the American bison. Okay, so roamed there was millions of them, you know, in the early eighteen hundreds. Now you get to the turn of the century and there's only a few hundred. Now you can go in, of course, into the supermarkets and buy bison berger right. Yeah, But here's

the thing. If we're looking back, if we're looking back from ten thousand years into the future, you might never know that the bison came within an inch of becoming extinct. Right, You could easily miss that. You'd yeah, there was millions of them there, and hey, look here, one hundred and fifty years later, we see evidence that they're you know, they're eating bison burgers, right, But think how easy it would be to miss the fact that the American bison

almost went completely extinct but then rapidly recovered. You know, once the conditions change and whatever forces were driving that mortality, that changes and so now the species can quickly recover. So my point is, if you extrapolate from that, there was probably a near extinction of all species, like in North America. You know, let's let's take moose or grizzly bear. There were grizzly bears during the ice stage, but they didn't go extinct. There were horses in North America, and

they did go extinct in North America, but not in Eurasia. Right. But here's what I'm getting at, bring it home. Do you think that events that were that severe that could wipe out three quarters And you've got to talk about if you're talking about mammoths, if you're talking about saber toothed cats, the giant ground slaws, dire wolves, the giant camels that roam the southern United States, the giant beavers,

everything's big, right, the giant Armadello's. If you look at all of these creatures, right, They're all completely gone. There couldn't be even a single mating pair left. Every single individual mammoth had to be killed, had to be destroyed. Now here's the thing I'm getting at. The evidence is now showing pretty conclusively that there was a culture called the Clovis culture, which I know you've heard of. The Clovis culture. They're the They occupied North America roughly three

to four hundred years prior to the Younger Dryas. Where they came from is an open question. What happened to me, because there was over fifty Clovis sites around unglaciated North America that became completely unoccupied post Younger Dryas, So there's two questions where they come from. What happened to them? Well, I think what happened to them was the Clovis culture

became extinct. Most of them were killed off by the same catastrophes that wiped out the wooly mammoths and the rest of the megafaunam Now, and this is showing up

all over the world. We're seeing evidence that there was a popular, major population crash coming out of the Younger Dryas, right, and the next three four or five thousand years, I think what the evidence is now showing is that just like the bar con bison once recovered, human species began to recover, but it took three to four thousand years. And the reason we see this flowering of civilization all in that Meliu between forty five hundred and five thousand

years ago is because it essentially took that one. You're not going to build monumental architecture if you don't have a labor force. You got to bran. There's got to be more people and to do to undertake something like that, you have to have enough people that there's a whole segment of society that's providing the food, the clothes, the shelter for the for the labor that is building the temples in the monumental earthworks in North America and South

Americans so on. So you have to have this recovery. And I think that's why we don't see a lot of stuff up until about forty five hundred to five thousand years ago, and then almost as if somebody blew a whistle. You see the flurry of activity. You see it in Samaria, you see it in Egypt, you see it in the along the Indus Valley, you know, the whole civilization that arose there. You see it in North America, you see it in South America, and you see it

in British Isles in northern Europe. Because think about Stonehenge and so on, those early megalithic structures in the British Isles date to that same period.

its relation to the heavens above. I think we're looking there, possibly at an ancient science of uniting heaven and Earth, because doesn't it seem And I know you've now seen enough of this to see the similarity, the underlying similarity

of so many of these ancient structures. Yea, even though they don't look you know, you could look at Egyptian pyramids or an Egyptian temple it looks very distinct from you know, what they were building in Samaria with the zig rots, and the step looks very distinct from what they were doing in North America with these I don't know if you've ever visited any of the the.

looks like we got a model. And of course this would be the subject to refinement and improvement and all of that, but it looks like there was a mortality event that a bottleneck in human population around the world. It took three four thousand and five thousand years for the human population to recover to the extent that we can now look and see the fruits of their handiwork.

have been to Egypt every year. I think the pyramids are pre cataclysm. I think the culture that built them were engineer, brilliant engineers, and that is a calling card for them. But we don't have a traditional science does not believe there was a pre culture, a pre devastation culture, because there's according to them, there's no part charts. But I think we're getting there now. I think our technology is getting there. You look under the water and there's

evidence of ruined. We're going to take a short commercial break to allow our sponsors to identify themselves, and we will return shortly with my guest today, Randall Carlson, presenting

the Great Upheaval. Will be right back. My guest today is Randall Carlson. He is known as the Rogue Geologist. We're talking about a number of topics, including the torn meteor stream and how the Earth passes through this precarious event twice Yearly, let's talk about one or two of these ruins that were part of this impact. What about We talked about Tiwana Ku and Bolivia beforehand. That place, Randall is cut by a group of geniuses. We don't

know what the technology was. It looks like a welding torch of some kind of laser, and these are megaliths of a precision that we just can't conceive of.

They don't know. They haven't necessarily studied the effect of hypervelocity impacts, solar outbursts and coronal mass ejections and what effects they may have, the effects of what an ice age will do rising, you know, think about sea levels rising and falling more than four hundred feet, the great floods, where you have these gigantic, unbelievably huge floods sweeping over the land. They don't really, that's not part of their worldview.

And so what they don't understand is that, see, they when they came up and were trained geologists were used to be trained the fundamental concepts of geology and earth history were called uniformitarian right, which is a very powerful tool to use to understand the past. The problem is is that we can look and we can go Okay, the present is the key to the past. So if we're trying to decipher events that happened in the past, we refer to things that you can see going on

today and we essentially extrapolate backwards. Now, within that framework, you might have a local catastrophe like a volcano going off for an earthquake, but you don't have anything that encompasses an entire continent the or much less the world as a whole. Right, okay, So in that model, you might go, okay, well, if everything is changing so slowly one grain of sand, one drop of water at a time, we don't even really even notice the change over a

single life span. It requires multiple lifespans, right, Well, okay, so now you've got this false picture because it's half correct,

but it's missing a whole. Half of the equation is that from time to time, that nice, placid pace of slow incremental change suddenly gets interrupted in a major way and boom, do you know what? Proverbial? You know what hits the fan big time. If you don't take account of that, you're not going to be able to have

a realistic model of the human past. And when you'd see the direct effects, let's say, of a water flow over the land of a half a billion qubic feet per second, you realize that what doesn't matter what was there, whatever was there is completely erased from eliminated from existence. You could have had a city there, and a half a billion qubic feet per second is going to wash the entirety of that city away. You're talking about flooding, right, flooding, yes,

flooding okay, and flooding. Gigantic floods were part of this whole great upheaval. It encompassed both firestorms on a large scale, and it encompassed we now know, volcanic eruptions on a huge scale and involved major seismic shaking and earthquakes. And the one of the effects was these gigantic antic floods that are being documented from all having occurred all over the world. There were tsunamis apparently that were huge. There's

a tsunami. You know, Dallas Abbot as a scientist who has been studying the effects of tsunamis on the continental coastlines of the world, and they're everywhere. There's the one in Madagascar, Madagascar, off the east coast of Africa.

when the new Clear reactor got affected. You remember that, yeah, yeah, right, And so you look at those videos and you go, Okay, here's a tsunami wave that's thirty to fifty feet high when it makes landfall. What would a six hundred foot six hundred and fifty foot tsunami do to the coastlines? Right? So if you had a city, if you had a village, a settlement on the coastline, and you have a two hundred foot tsunami hitting again, there's not going to be

anything there. You're not going to find potzards, You're not going to find anything really, And so this is the problem. The problem is is that they don't understand how powerfully the planet was affected by these events. And when you have one hundred thousand years and there's the glaciers come and go four times. Think about this, A half mile two mile and a half thick glacier grinding over the

landscape covered more than half of North America for example. Okay, that glacier rapidly melts how are you going to know

what was there in that land before the glaciers came. Whatever the glaciers don't destroy, whatever, the ice doesn't destroy. The melt water, the huge volumes of meltwater and the ensuing floods is going to destroy the rest and given it. If we look at the rise of modern civilization Cliff, we see the two preferred places where we first see settlements turning into villages villages turning into cities is on coastlines and in river valleys. Right think about the every

Think about the Samerian civilization Tigris Euphrates River. Think about the Harappan civilization along the Indus River. Think about Graham's South American civilization along the Amazon, think about civilization. You know the scale of the things we see along the Mississippi and Ohio rivers in North America. The list goes on Egypt of course, the Nile River right now, if you have an event like the Younger dryers and the scale of flooding that we're talking about here, every one

of those rivers is going to be overwhelmed. It's gonna make like what happened in Texas on the Guadalupe River like nothing like a trickle.

they had a whole ritual that they would do. The priests would get out and they would observe what was called the Haliacal rising of Sirius the Dog Star would

rise after being invisible from the latitude of Egypt. There from the latitude of Cairo, it was invisible for about seventy days, and then because of the Earth's movement around the sun late July, you would see Sirious rise in the east just moments before the sun right, and then the sun the next day, the sun would have moved a little farther away, next day a little far the way, so each day you would see Sirious rising a little

bit early. Right. But there was that first day, And the symbolism of the dog is likely because they thought of dogs as being giving fore warning. Dogs bark and they warn you of something, right, the dog star for whatever coincidence, and I don't think anybody claims it's other than the coincidence, but I don't know. I'm not convinced. Right after that rising called the Haliacal Rising of Sirius the Dog Star Haliakal because it's rising with the sun.

The Nile River floods would come from the headwaters right, they would sweep north to the Mediterranean, and when those waters drained off, they would leave a fresh layer of alluvium that is the stuff that's being deposited, and so it builds up. And basically, when the warning came that the floods were impending, which was associated with the rising of Sirius, they would vacate the valley and the river would flood deposit the alluvium, and they would go back

and plant their crops. So that's kind of how it worked.

Then there was also a period after the Younger Dryas where there was more rainfall down to between six and seven thousand years ago, and then the monsoon apparently shifted and those rains ceased and then it became a desert.

But yeah, there was a whole culture of people that lived in the lush Sahara eight nine thousand years ago, and who they are, where they came from is not known, although our paper I recently read was speculating that they came from the West, migrated across and ultimately maybe came from the area of the Atlas Mountains in Morocco, which, Yeah, that is interesting because what does that kind of suggest the connection, doesn't it.

There's no evidence of bricks, no evidence of any civilization there, right, And even if it was a geological event, that's that's the terminating event. You're going to see something, you know, shows us formations of civilization, you know what I mean? Bricks?

perfectly straight line. And I just pointing that out because

it's kind of a coincidence, I think, unless it's part of the same, you know, because the early first discoveries of reshaft structure was that it was an impact crater. Now I think the consensus is that it's a volcanic event. If I go backwards here, let's see. Yeah, this is a cross section now and it looks like it's this

dome shaped structure here that's downfaulted. Like you can see, this is a fault line here, and this is a fault here, and you got like this down here below it says like ryolytic magmas, magmas like lava, right, hydrothermal bretcha is these up and here what that is Breca means broken rock and this was stuff that was broken rock. The hydro thermal means that it was like hot water, right. And then you've got these different layers here. You've got

like it says, quartzitic sandstone in this upper layer here. Anyways, this is actually showing that there is a subterranean structure to this thing.

out and it creates caves. But if it's like a vertical shaft, it's like a krst. A sinkhole would be like what a car sty is. See, we don't need to get into I've covered all of this ilgy on.

I enlarged the circular city to roughly the scale of the Reshaft structure and superimposed it.

twenty four feet. And then you had this ring of land and this is all taken directly from Plato's description of this of the circular city. Then, so now you would have nine hundred and twenty four feet here, nine hundred and twenty four feet here, so times two, you're now up to eighteen hundred and forty eight feet going from outer water ring outer lane. Then you get to the next water ring, which is two stags, and then

the next land ring, which is two stags. Then you get to a water ring which is one and you get to this which was five states in width. So you can just add them up, right, If you add all of these up, which is what I did. Let's see here, we can see that it would be let's go three plus three plus two plus two plus five plus one plus one plus I'll just go four plus six. We've got twenty seven stags and that would be times

six hundred and eight feet. So you're looking at sixteen thousand feet, so you're looking about three miles in mile, three mile width, three mile width. Yes, okay, rough, it seems very military to me. Is that you think that was purposely done? Maybe it doesn't seem functional, but maybe it was. Well. Plato said then that there was this three hundred foot wide canal that connected to the ocean, so that ships could come in. And here's sort of a three d oblique view. So this is the let's

say it's oversimplified. Let's say this is the ocean canal coming in. And then there was a bridge that linked all of the rings. But there was enough room, it was elevated enough the ships could sail under the bridge, and you could have foot traffic or you know, people walking or carts or whatever on the bridge. But underneath the bridge, the ships could sail in to the different rings. And here's more or less you can kind of get

the picture. So you see there's an opening under the bridge, so a ship could come in the outer ring of waters, sail through the canal, come to the inner ring, sail through another canal, and and ultimately got up here to which was the temple of Posiona mm hmm. So there you can kind of kind of get the picture of it that that's oversimplified. But yeah, it's all to the exact accurate scale that Plato describes.

a part of a micro continent. The Azores islands are the peaks of mountains, and those mountains are in the uh Azors micro continent. And it's it's dun. We could go through a lot of it. But so then here's here's Plato's description, taken directly from his account. The inner island, five states in diameter, five stags at six hundred and eight feet equals three thousand and forty. And so I've

gone through and worked all the numbers. And now this is interesting because three thousand and forty is half a nautical mile, which is, you know what basically sailors use, and a nautical mile is six thousand and eighty feet. So interestingly, Plato's numbers line right up with our traditional methods of measuring distance, how sailors measured the distance. And then we have this magic number forty three thousand, two hundred,

and that basically, if we take that the basic unit that Plato gives us here, which is three thousand and forty feet, times this, it gives us this conce of the earth, okay, and then if we divide that by pie, it gives us the diameter of the earth.

it's beautiful. Well. Plato describes Atlantis as being outside to the west of the Pillars of Hercules, which is right here the Straits of Gibraltar, and he says that when you sail west and I have these quotes all in here, you come to a group of islands, and you've got Madeira, you've got the Canaries all in here, and then beyond

that was the island civilization of Atlantis. And it turns out that right in the middle of the Atlantic, along the mid Atlantic Ridge, there is the Azores called micro continent, and it's this thing right here, right, And then Plato says, if you keep going from there, you get to the true continent that's on the other side of the ocean, which very suggested because supposedly the Greeks did not know about North America. He describes North America. Now the reshat

structure down here right. To me, the geography is wrong, the geology is wrong, the scale of the thing is wrong. There's no evidence that there was, Like you said, there is evidence of probably hunter gatherers.

our sponsors to identify themselves, and we will return shortly with my guest today, Randall Carlson, discussing the Great Upheaval. We'll return with you shortly. My guest today is Randall Carlson, and we are discussing the catastrophic destruction of Earth at approximately nine BC. This is a almost a terminating event that wipes out megafauna, the living animals of the planet, and most of the humans that are occupying known and

unknown locations from around the world. What is the color screen, Randall? Is that some kind of a geological scan that you did this one? What is that?

going to show you. Here we go. Let's see, I got a speed through here. Excuse me. While I speed through, I'm going to get down to As you can see, I got a lot of stuff here on it. Let a lot yeah, yeah, uh probably have to go through this as well. Let's see, there we go. Okay, so okay, here we go. So that's where I would put Atlantis. And that's pretty much the outlines of the Azors micro

continent and the the mountainous area here. The nine islands of the Azores are the peaks of those mountains that are that are on this plateau. And there's evidence that it sank at the end of the last ice Age. And I go into some pretty detailed explanation of how that describing that whole process. Here's here's the Azor's micro continent right here. You can see it, and you can see how it's west of the Pillars of Hercules. There are, as he describes, there are islands on the way to Atlantis.

Then you get to Atlantis, and then if you keep sailing beyond Atlantis, you get to what he says, the opposite continent that's part of the true Ocean, which would be the Atlantic as compared to the Mediterranean.

got one going up to southern England. There, you've got one going into the Mediterranean all the way to Egypt. There, you've got one going down to Cuba, which would have been likely an outlier for Atlantis. Here you've got one going to the Yucatan Peninsula and the Mayan So this fits exactly what you just said. And then I think we also got a migration to the southeastern United States.

seek refuge. If the homeland was about to be destroyed, these places where Atlanteans had already set up shop would be the obvious places to go.

upper interestingly, the upper younger, driest boundary. Well, once the glaciers over North America and Europe started melting, sea levels started coming up. So if you have an island community and island civilization, I mean, think about all the concerns now about oh, sea level might rise two feet in the next fifty years, and oh we got to be all in panic mode because of how it's going to affect our culture and our cities and communities that are

on the coastline. Well, think about what a four hundred foot by sea level would do. Right, Well, So, if you've got sea levels coming up relatively fast, well, what's happening. Yeah, I mean you can see it. You can see it. From year to year, you're going to see those sea levels rising, and as they're rising, they're encroaching latterly and swallowing up land.

it could possibly be crossing Earth's orbit. Right, every time that comet is coming in towards the Sun, anybody on Earth, if it's coming close to the Earth, you're going to see it in the sky. Okay, it's going to be in. The closer it is, the more spectacular it's going to be. Right, So think about do you remember Shoemaker Levy nine in nineteen ninety four when twenty one pieces hit Jupiter. Do you remember that?

what happened with Shoelaer Shoemaker Levy nine. It had undoubtedly been orbiting between Jupiter and the Sun for millennium, but each time it made passage Jupiter's like sucking it in closer and closer. Then in March of nineteen ninety three it was discovered using telescopes and Gene Shoemaker, Carolyn Shoemaker

and David Levy were co discoverers, and they begin to study it. And comet orbits are elliptical, right, and they have a certain geometry. So if you have too, if you can recreate the orbital geometry, the shape and size of that ellipse, the orbital ellipse, and you can get the timing of it along enough of a section of that ellipse, you can now predict where it's going to

be in the future. It took three months of observations and they were able to predict that in the next go round it was going to pass the Sun and head back out to Jupiter, and it was going to cross Jupiter's orbital path. But at the point where it's going to cross that orbit orbital path, it just so happened to Jupiter was going to be right there at

that moment. At that weed they were able to predict that this comet which was had been ripped, had been a single object as it passed through Jupiter's hyper powerful gravity field. The gravity field ripped it apart into twenty one pieces. Wow, those twenty one pieces spread out and came back in the second week of July nineteen ninety four, just as predicted.

thing I'm trying to get at. If you've got an object that's circling the Sun and even going out to Jupiter and it ultimately is an impactor on Earth, there's two types of impactors we can think of. One it comes out of the blue and we don't know it, no way to predict it, because it comes on its own path. It strikes the Earth, or it misses the Earth and goes back out into space never to return.

If that's a long period comet, a short period comet is orbiting pretty much in the Earth's orbital plane, the plane of the ecliptic. And if we know that things hit the Earth, well before they hit the Earth, they're making this passage, this loop, and each loop they're being drawn in closer and closer to that moment of impact. Right, if you're a culture, you might witness a comet coming back, like Comet Ink, which is part of the Torred meteor stream,

has a three point three year return. It comes back to the Sun every three point three years. Well, if you let's say that's a big comet nucleus, because Ankee probably was a small piece of a much bigger comet. So if you're watching that and it's part of the torred by the way, part of the torred stream, you're seeing that every three point three years, you're seeing this comet coming through the sky. First time you see it, it's pretty far out there. It's just a nice little site.

It looks more like a bright star with a tail. Now three and point three years later you see it again, but now it's bigger and brighter. Three point three years later it's back again, and now it's even bigger and brighter. Right, you get what I'm seeing so just somebody witnessing this from the surface of the Earth might get pretty alarmed, say, hey, that thing is getting closer and closer.

cosmic serpents, and dragons and heaven all of that. Well, that was the metaphor that was used for these celestial visitations of shooting stars, meteors, comets, asteroids and all of that.

little bit closer. Right, it's an overlooked hazard because the old, obsolete models are putting major impacts that tens to hundreds of thousands of years apart. The new data suggests that there's a whole lot been, a whole lot more impacts, more closely clustered than we had imagined twenty five years ago.

And I don't think we've adjusted to that because part of the problem is that there are vested interests, for example, that don't want humans to be thinking about cosmic impacts because that might detract from the manufactured narrative of a carbon dioxide driven climate change or global warming, which in my opinion is pretty much manufactured on flimsy evidence, and that's something we could certainly talk about in another episode.

But every time now that there is a what happened in North Carolina with the flooding, what just happened, And

I knew instantly when this was going on that they would be trotting out the global warming scenario to explain it. But then that ignores the fact that there have been at least like four other equivalent scale flood events in that watershed in the last hundred years. So there's this whole agenda right now that is using the climate crisis, as they're calling it now to control energy production, distribution,

and consumption. And that's the out I mean, that is the final result of the implementation of net zero policies. Net zero is going to require total control of energy, all energy use, right, and then you've got it gets complicated, and certainly it's something I feel is important to talk about. But the point is is that things happen naturally and

humans could abandon the planet. We could all shut down our SUVs and our cars and quit using air conditioning and live in intents, right, but that's not going to stop catastrophic events, weather events from happening.

dioxide and what that's going to do. And that's important, of course, But to me, the possibility and potential of a cosmic impact is orders of magnitude more important than what carbon dioxide is doing, because carbon dioxide has a limited ability to capture thermal energy, and four hundred parts per million is already past that limitation now, So most of the heat that is being captured by carbon dioxide in the atmosphere takes place in the first fifty two

hundred parts per million, okay, and then it declines rapidly from there, like what would be called an in verse logarithmic scale, so that each increment of additional carbon dioxide is only going to capture one tenth as much heat as an equivalent previous increment of carbon dixe. So the more you add up to a point, the more you add, the less heat's going to be captured. And we're past that at four hundred plus parts per million, were past that,

so it's not really an issue. Is the average temperature appear to be getting warmer? Yes, for two reasons. One because our baseline was the end of the Little Ice Age, the coldest millennia of the last ten thousand years. So if you use that as a baseline, and that'd be like saying, oh, well, we're going to take early March is our baseline, and then in July we're going to argue that the planet is you know, change, a planet

is in a warming phase. It's unprecedentedly warm. Well, yeah, it will be if your baseline is early March, you know, and now you're talking about July. Well, the Little Ice Age was the coldest millennia of the last ten or twelve thousand years, so that's our baseline. The second thing is is that a lot of the warming has to do with the growth of urban complexes, and most of our weather data comes from weather monitoring stations that were

installed at airports. Well, if you look at an airport fifty years ago, and then you look at it now, what you're going to see is that it's you know, it may have been a rural airport fifty years ago, and now it's surrounded by concrete and asphalt and buildings, air conditioning, condensing units, all of these things like that are absorbing heat. And the cities, now some of the major cities are implementing mitigation efforts to lessen the impact

of that urban heat island defect. Well, well, you're not being told when you're getting okay, here is the unprecedented warmest temperature every here's records are being broken. What you're not being told is that those records mostly are coming from urban areas that anywhere from three to ten degrees warmer than the surrounding rural countryside. That's called the urban heat island effect. So there's a lot of manipulation going on that people who have not looked into this don't understand,

and so they're easily manipulated. They're easily indoctrinated into believing this is a crisis. Yet there are things you watch within the next month or two will probably see a major flyby. They're coming by every few months now fly by.

a good thing. He wrote this book and he went on a couple of interviews like we're doing right here, and he talked about why he thought it was going to harm the mission of the US military. He got booted Biden years. Yeah, he got the boot, which in effect proved what he was saying. Here's this hiding and millions of dollars invested in him to train him to become one of the top and you know, and I

mean his his resume is extraordinary. But so yeah, he got the boot for speaking his mind about this and

which proved his point right there. So anyways, what I'm getting at is, before he got the boot, we had he was organizing a conference where he was going to have like forty or fifty of the base commanders of Space Force and I was going to go and I was going to present a give a presentation on the importance of planetary defense and why I thought that should become a major part of the mission of Space Force. Well then COVID came along and didn't.

come back around again. And I if you know, if I get the invite or get the opportunity, I will most definitely go in and give my presentation on you.

latter had occupied eighteen hours earlier. Had mL fourteen reached that point at six am the previous morning, an area of the size of France would have been totally devastated. By six oh five. Most of the world's vegetation would have been in flames by eight o'clock and thirty to forty percent of the human race would have been dead or dying by late October. Now, this was a near miss,

and this is happening frequently. So you can see asteroid estimates too low, asteroid makes close approach, Scientists worry over asteroids, huge asteroid narrowly And these are all separate events. See wow, large asteroid passes close to Earth. Asteroid buzzes Earth too close for comfort. Asteroid passed within seventy five thousand miles of the Earth. This is just like a This is almost like scraping the earth. See, so we could go through this and it goes on and on and on.

start thinking big wow. And that's that's my message. So I'm gonna go out of here. Stop there.

released the audio our podcast at Earth Ancients here. So real fun having him on the program, and we're gonna do a best of the best with Randall probably before the end of the year. We have a best of the best we're working with with for Graham Hancock, and we got a nice one for Robert Temple. We've had Robert on the program three times already and we're gonna have him on again talking about a new book that

he's working on. And you know, it's funny because he has actually been around longer than Graham Hancock, and some of his early books are not really recognized. He has a book on Egypt that is phenomenal. And if you haven't heard of Robert Temple, do a search for him. He is kind of an early research investigator, worked with people like Robert Beaval and John Anthony West and many many others searching out the various mysteries from our ancient past.

So anyhow, I hope you enjoyed Randall Carlton. He's always fun to have on the program. And when I mentioned Earth Ancients does tours, we have a couple of tours coming up. We have our final tour of the year, which is our Sacred Temples of Guatemala December first through the twelfth. This is a great tour. We're about half four we're only taking twenty people. The reason this is unique is in Mexico, and we do Mexico every year

as well. You can't climb any of the pyramids, you cannot move around the temples, you can't do strangely, can't do any ceremonies with shaman, any meditative practices. Is very, very restrictive because of the Catholic Church. Why because they are afraid people will become enlightened. And that's pretty sad. In Guatemala, it's a completely different story. There's shaman doing ceremony. There are techniques for working with the energies of the pyramids.

We will climb, we will integrate with the pyramids, and we will have a great time. The entire itinerary for this tour is on Earth Ancients, Go to Earth Ancients dot com forward slash tours. See the entire itinerary. And one last thing. We have the best prices. I'm always looking at our competitors, and most competitors are double. We're half of what most competitors charge for our tours. Okay,

so that's Guatemala. We have a megalithic that is coming up April twenty eighth through May tenth of twenty twenty six. This is with Mohammed Ebrahim and the Sabatur team, and this is a great tour because we're going to be specifically looking for sites that have megalithic sculpture, megalithic buildings, and pyramidal structures, including the Hajuara Labyrinth and the pyramid in that area. And these are sites that are rarely visited.

That is going to be a beauty. That's a rare chance to see some of the largest sculptures in the world, including the Ramsey two sculpture in Memphis. If you have not seen the Ramsey two sculpture, it's totally out of place. They don't know how it was carved. It was carved likely from a seven hundred ton block of granite. The exquisite nature of the carving is unusual. And if you want to see a picture of it, go to so Facebook can go to either my profile which is Cliff Dunning,

or go to Facebook and go to Earth Ancients, either the group or the either the private or the group page public page and see this monstrosity. How they carve these sculptures is beyond any of the pharaohs, any of the dynastic periods. In fact, most archaeologists scratch their head and wonder why so. The Megalithic Tour of Egypt again is April twenty eighth through May tenth. For the full itenerary, go to Earth Ancients, dot com forward slash Tours, come

out and join us. All right, that's it for this show. I want to think my guest today, Randall Carlson. Always a blast having Randall on the program as always, the team of Gail Tour, Mark Foster and Fasil Parves. You guys rock all right, take care, be well and we will talk to you next time.
