Transcript

Speaker 1

You see, something's going to happen.

Speaker 2

What's going to happen?

Speaker 1

What?

Speaker 3

Welcome to the Occult Rejects, where we deep dive into the hidden, the heretical, and the forgotten truths of our world. Today we are honored to be joined by Doc Gregory L. Little, a psychologist, author, and explorer of ancient mysteries. He's the author of Mound Builders, Edgar Casey's Forgotten Record of Ancient America, a groundbreaking work that blends archaeology, Native American history, and

the visionary insights of the sleeping profit Edgar Casey. Doctor Little I spent decades investigating America's ancient sacred sites, and his research offers a compelling look at the loss civilization that once shaped this land, long before mainstream history days to admit. So buckle up because today we're venturing into the mounds, the myths, and the mystical memories of Forgotten America. But the other rejects that I got with me today before we get to Greg, I got Lisa, the occult

reject mad scientists with us today. What is going on? Lisa? How are you?

Speaker 4

I'm good, Thank you for having me. I'm looking forward to this conversation.

Speaker 3

Oh yeah, thank you very much for joining us, and we also got Heidi. What is going on? Heidi?

Speaker 3

So listen, I mean you want to everybody know where they can find your stuff as well.

Speaker 1

Of course I'm at the Unfiltered Rise everywhere podcasts are served. I do have my own podcast, Unfiltered Rise podcast dot com and Heidi love luv is where you'll find most of myself.

Speaker 3

Thank you, listen, Thank you very much. And last but not lish, JJ Vance.

Speaker 6

Nick, howdy, sir, appreciate the invitation as always, Greg, great to meet you, big big Mound fans, so big to like I said, big fan of your Twitter timeline over the year, So definitely looking forward to the conversation and Heidi and Lise.

Speaker 7

Always great to join you on Cult Rejects.

Speaker 6

Here for a Mound conversation, specifically because that's one of my favorites and.

Speaker 7

Host of operations GCD.

Speaker 6

You will find a lot of Mound conversations there and perhaps more notably not the vice president JJ Vance. Looking for the conversation though, Nick great, great time is always awesome.

Speaker 3

Thank you very much. And since I totally forgot that I was waiting on Gin and started recording, I'll plug his show for him. Threshold Saints. Gin should be popping in shortly. I totally forgot to wait on him. So yeah, and finally, now on to Greg Gregory. Please let everybody know what your deal is. You know that I didn't already explain already, And let people know what other books you've written and whatever you want to plug please with Oh.

Speaker 5

Wow, well, first, thanks everyone, first time I've met you. Although you know, these meetings are happening more and more often, we're going through you know, electrical meetings like this, and so it's getting increasingly weird. A lot of people here, you get to meet a lot of people. But wow, okay. My background is in psychology. My real area was psychopharmacology, which that's what my masters is in. It's a sub

specialty of experimental psychology. Now I've been out of school for a long long time and most of my career has been in the field of criminal psychology, and I'm still active in that field, but I don't talk about it much. And that's just one of those things that just I really just don't discuss much. If somebody wants to ask a question, I'd be happy to answer it.

I got into this mound stuff in nineteen eighty three, after I've finished my first book, and it's a long, involved story, I won't get to it, but it came out of nowhere. My first book was called The Archetype Experience. It came out in nineteen eighty four, and it was a follow up to Carl Jung's final book, which was called Flying Saucers, a modern myth of things seen in

the skies. And since nobody understood what Carl Jung said in that book, or at least I'm saying nobody in the UFO field seemed to understand it, I decided, as a new young doctorate to go ahead and write the book on it. So that was my first one, and then I got into Mound's unexpectedly. I have a lot of books and a lot of different topics. I've written textbooks in psychopharmacology and criminal personality and personality theories and just lots of different areas. But the Indian Mound stuff

culminated with the writing of this monstrous book. It's like five hundred and some pages long, and it's called The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Native American Mounds and Earthworks. Every page is like this, and it goes through state by state, and it's got like a thousand sites in it. And this can't The first edition came out in two thousand and eight. The one I just showed is the second edition, and I can plug that because you can't buy it. There are none of those available now.

Speaker 3

I'm just going to ask JJ if you had one, you better go get one. I guess he can.

Speaker 5

Well, they're out of print, and I saw some. They keep popping up now and then on Amazon, and people are asking thousands of dollars for it. So what I've been doing for the past roughly twelve months is writing a new version of it, updating it. It appears to be about eight hundred and fifty pages now and it's actually a promise to some I'll call them Native American spirits where that all began. But anyway, I'm an active professional, but this is the side stuff. I've been in the

Ksey Organization a long time. It was actually the My wife was the head of the Casey Organization for many years and was on the board. Uh and we actually ran the ares where we were the Ares Search for Atlantis project for ten years in the Bahamas and the Yucatan and uh so we did a lot. So wherever you want to go with that, just quick quick question.

Speaker 3

Do you know uh beat Selena a little.

Speaker 5

Solanta.

Speaker 3

Yeah, she was somebody that was on us showing them. I don't know how far back, maybe it was before your time. She was heavily involved in that Edgar Casey thing.

Speaker 5

She lived there. I think for a minute, Well, there's a lot of people heavily involved with the Casey organization. Du Yeah, No, I don't know. My wife and I were the editors of the Ancient Mysteries newsletter for many years. Actually we started it and there I've written tons of articles for it, as my wife has we spoke, we spoke, it arranged and spoke the Ancient at the Ancient Mysteries conference there for ten straight years. I just got tired of doing talks. I don't do any public talks at

all anymore. Just don't want to, don't.

Speaker 1

I was here, I was here for the mounds, but I am a huge Edgar Casey fan. With the two Ice Stone stuff really in relation, especially to Joseph Smith and magical rocks.

Speaker 2

So that's fascinating to me. And also I'm a.

Speaker 1

Psychiatric nurse, so if you ever do talk about criminal psychology, I'd love to chat with you about that one one day.

Speaker 5

Okay.

Speaker 2

Fascinating.

Speaker 5

Well, the two I Stone, which very few people know about, was a started out as a communication device between the priests and priestesses of Atlantis. This is according to Casey's readings, so I'm giving you Casey's information. But it started out as this communication device where they would mentally tune themselves and the crystal would move energy back and forth between what Casey called the outer spheres and the people who

were mentally communicating with it. In fact, that, according to Agar Casey, is how the priests of Atlantis found out that Atlantis was going to be destroyed, and this was in ten thousand BC, and told them to come up with a plan to set up the three hall of Records. The main one, of course, is in Egypt. That's the one everybody knows about. But according to Casey, there were three hall of Records that were identical in case one of them got destroyed. So there's one in Egypt under

the Sphinx. There is one in the Yucatan at a place called Piatris Nigris, Guatemala. And then there's another one which is in the Bahamas, which when Casey gave the reading, it wasn't called the Bahamas.

Speaker 2

But he said Azarian.

Speaker 5

He said it's near, and he said it would a portion of the posidea would rise again in sixty eight or sixty nine, meaning nineteen sixty eight or sixty nine. Uh. And so that's what my wife and I did a lot of underwater research with side scan sonar in that area, mainly the area around Andros Island for roughly ten years. I wrote a lot about it, wrote several books about it. Just we do projects. And then it was fun.

Speaker 2

I love this. I'm a huge Howard hughes NERD.

Speaker 1

So oh yeah, so I love this.

Speaker 2

I think it's fascinating. Thank you.

Speaker 5

Anyone. Yeah, what did cake?

Speaker 6

What was Casey's position on the mound builders? Well, I'm not that.

Speaker 5

That's how I actually got into actively into the Casey organization. It always had an interest. Actually, Casey is mentioned in psychology textbooks, and that's how I first found out about Casey. It's because of his really his healing remedies, and according to the American Medical Association, Agar Casey is the father of holistic medicine in the United States. So anyway, my wife and I went to Egypt with the Casey Organization

back in about nineteen ninety seven. I was not an active member at the time, but we went there and got to meet one of the directors, and the director of the ARI found out about my interest in Indian mounds, which I'd already written several books about Indian mounds, and I was in the process of doing this monster at the time. Of course, this took a long time to do.

And he said, hey, why don't you look at the Edgar Casey readings on bound builders and compare what Casey said to what is known at the time about Native American mounds and history. And my answer was, I didn't know Agar Casey did any readings on Native American mounds. And again this is back in nineteen ninety seven, and

he said, yeah, so I did this research. Casey gave sixty eight readings about Native American mounds and ancient history in the Americas, but sixty eight readings specifically mentioned the mound builders. Some of the things that he said is that the mounds were built from the south up and he said that in the late nineteen twenties and at that time, really up until roughly nineteen ninety six or so,

this was true. What mainstream market marchaeology said is that the mound builders began in the north and went south. But Casey said in the nineteen twenties they began in the south and went north, and of course that was considered nonsense. Now that is the fact it began in the south and went north.

Speaker 6

He also is that exhibited by like Poverty Point, is that one of the older south points.

Speaker 5

Point the Poverty Point in around ninety the night till the early nineteen nineties was really the first of the culture sites. You're correct. There were mounds up north, two different kinds. Some that were near the old copper culture, in the glacial cane culture that's in like Minnesota and Michigan, and then further to the east you have the red paint people and they made really tiny mounds, and Poverty Point dated to about eighteen hundred BC at the time.

But now we know that mounds were being built in Louisiana starting in nine thousand BC. Wow, And we know that there are and there are more mounds in Louisiana the date to about six thousand BC, and a lot in four thousand and forty five hundred BC. And as you keep going north from southern Louisiana, it gets to thirty five hundred BC, thirty seven hundred BC, then you might get to two thousand BC, and then you're into about fifteen hundred BC, and it just pops up everywhere.

And in South America, the oldest mound right now that's known is a place called Isladel Tesoro, and it is dated to eighty four hundred BC. So that's one of the things Casey said that was absolutely crazy. When he said it, it made no sense whatsoever. He said that the mounds, though, were replicas of the experiences that people

had from Atlantis. And so, as far as I know, Casey is the only one of the late eighteen hundreds early nineteen hundreds people like in Theosophy or some of the alternative spiritual beliefs that said that the Native Americans

were the Atlanteans. Case he said point blank in his readings that the Red Race were the Atlantians, and he specifically mentioned the Iroquois, and he said that before Atlantis, the final destruction of Atlantis around ten thousand BC occurred, a number of Atlantians went, particularly to the northeast of America, and they merged in with the Red race that was already there, but they were the Atlantians. So he also said that there were three big dispersions into North America.

One of them began in fifty thousand BC. People from the South Pacific, that's the term that he used, came mainly into South America, and then some of them moved up into the western part, the southwest of the United States. He said there was a The other intrusion into the America is around twenty eight thousand BC, and then in ten thousand BC there were loads of people, different people that came in and that of course is when Beringia opened, when the Bearing Straits let a lot of people from

Siberian Asia come over. And all those those are the dates that he gave. And now at least the ten thousand BC, which he said again in the nineteen twenties, before Clovis and before the Folsom Points were found archaeology at the time he said this believed there was no one in the America's before six thousand BC. Up to around the nineteen thirties and forties, archaeologists told us that there was nobody here until about eight thousand years ago. Amazing.

So those are the sum of the things that Casey said. I will say this in these books, Egar Casey's not mentioned one time. I just there's just no reason to do it, because I'm only covering what we know about mounds and mound sites so people can go to them. Uh So, you know, there's nothing in this book either about criminal psychology. It's just it's irrelevant. Uh So I try to keep all these things separate, so that.

Speaker 1

What about sorry, what about the white tribe that started They started with an A, but they would paint themselves red.

Speaker 2

I can't remember the al.

Speaker 5

There's a group called the leg Way. Hello, you know what it's called?

Speaker 2

M Well, no, not it was.

Speaker 1

It's a shorter one. I'll find the name. But they would paint themselves red, I guess. And they were said to be pale, pale skinned, and I wonder sometimes also if they may be part of the race that you know.

Speaker 5

Well, okay, so no, it's all right, go ahead. What's what's oh.

Speaker 8

I was just going to say, there is a tradition of using blood root to procure the red dye. So this is something that I know you have talked about mcmah hed and so this is something since I live in that region now even though I'm not from here, but that is a tradition from the region. It's like Albinaki and mcmah all the way around in Massachusetts they would paint with red blood root, which is a root of Mars.

Speaker 4

The natives of Wahaka do the same thing. They paint themselves red.

Speaker 5

Yeah. Well, I had mentioned earlier. In American archaeology they talk about the red paint people that were mainly like in Maine and New Hampshire and Vermont, and actually they got into New York and parts of Pennsylvania, and red was a very big deal, a big deal in burials and a big deal in covering your body with it

as far as all these other intrusions. I am at the point now as I've learned so much in the past years, because I have a lot of archaeologists that talk to me now they don't do so openly, but what's happened in American archaeology there's a huge shift. Of course, when Clovis was basically killed, there's actually still Clovis holdouts. I wrote some did some Twitter posts on it, and this was after a mainstream archaeologist told me there's still

archaeologists in academia arguing that Clovis was first. There was nobody here before ten thousand BC. And it's a crazy there's so much the overwhelming evidence, but things have dramatically shifted, and the big shift is this, it's like everybody, almost everybody knows about Kahokia. Kahokia is this massive mound site in Cohokia, Illinois, which is about ten miles to the

east of Saint Louis, Missouri. Kahokia is most known because it has this gigantic mound called Monk's Mound, the name for when a monk lived on the top in historic times. Monk's Mound one time covered seventeen acres. Now it now covers fourteen acres, but it once covered seventeen acres. I'm giving you that size because the Great Pyramid at Giza covers thirteen acres. So Monk's Mound covers now fourteen acres. After hundreds of years of erosion and archaeologists screwing it up.

It is one hundred feet tall. It's as tall as a ten story building. That's the way to think of it. So you got this mound that's a ten story building. There's a stone, giant stone chamber inside of it that wasn't discovered till nineteen ninety seven, and nobody knows what it is or what's in it, and we probably will never know, at least not in our lifetime because of nagpra laws. That's another whole story. But there's a one

hundred and twenty mounds at Kahokia. Monks Mound is just the biggest sorry question.

Speaker 2

Oh no, I was. I just found the name. It's the Adena people.

Speaker 5

Oh yeah, the Adena.

Speaker 6

Okay, okay, So I always to ask about that.

Speaker 7

Next time, I was gonna ask what your thoughts from the Who are the Adena?

Speaker 5

Okay? Well? The Adena were the precursors to what's called Hope. Well, so what you have are mound cultures. There's a series of mound cultures. Like the Red Paint People are are an early mound culture. So is poverty Point. There's actually around fifty poverty points sites. Most people just think that there's one site, but there's fifty poverty point sites and then it goes into Adena. The Adena their mounds are

gigantic conical mounds. They can get up to eighty eighty five feet tall and like a top of an ice cream cone, like a big That's why they're called conical, So they're big. Uh. They usually have stone chambers in the base and loads of burials in them, and the burials are generally pretty elaborate. Sometimes they have earthworks around them, which means a huge ditch, maybe an outer wall around it, an earthen wall. They started building those around two thousand BC,

that's the earliest. Most of them date to one thousand BC to roughly two hundred BC, and then they transitioned into the Hope Well. So the Adena people were the people who built the Adena mounds, and the Adena Mounds is simply it's a culture name from Adena, Ohio, which was the name of the plantation near Chillicothe. That one where the first mound of the Adena mound was excavated, and it was a governor's house where they did it. He had the mound on his land, so they called

it the Adena culture. Hope Well was also there and near Chillicothe, and it was the Hopewell Plantation and the Hope Well were the sort I guess the logical outcome of the Edena, and they built these gigantic geometric earthworks, some of which extend fifty six miles in length. The largest geometric earthworks in the world are in the United States. They start in Newark, Ohio, and they end in Chilicothe, Ohio. That's another really long story. But the Adena, there are

some authors who say the Adena were white. I can tell you that there have been quite a bit of studies where they have taken the skeletal remains excavated from Adena and Hope Well and Mississippian, which was the next group, the next culture that came after the Hope Well. They have taken those skeletons. They have removed both mitochondrial DNA and new kittar DNA, which do kular DNA is human DNA,

and a lot of people don't understand mitochondrial DNA. But anyway, I won't I won't get to take the rest of the show. But they have tested them and their DNA essentially is the same as the as the current descendants of those people who are the Native American tribes or the first peoples in Canada. First Peoples is the term used in Canada. Now in America, most tribes do not like the term first peoples because they want to argue

about who was first. And we know there's a lot of movement, but they were here a long long time, so I'm not a I do know this too, and this is where I was going before the term Adena came up. What's known is that there was a huge intrusion of people around the year nine hundred, eight hundred to nine hundred. They came into the Southwest at that time from Yucatan, going across the Gulf of whatever you want to call it. No matter what I say, when I say that golf of you know what, somebody gets mad.

If I call it the Golf of Mexico. Somebody will say, no, it's the Golf of America, and the other way around. So there were people traveling from the Yucatan to what we call Florida and to Louisiana. Some of them were probably going around on land. They were traveling, they were bringing culture, they were doing cultural and people exchanges. But it was occurring on a massive level in the Southwest

this is now known. And this massive group of people coming into the Southwest brought this culture with them, and it was a culture of kings. You'll hear this. You'll hear people talking about chiefs all the time. And the first time that I started saying Native Americans had kings, at least at Kahokia they had a king. And that's only been the last year where I've found that out, and it's from mainstream archaeologists, so it's causing a revolution

and archaeologists. But what they did was take this into that area called American Bottom where Cohokia, Illinois is American Bottom. They brought this type of corn or maize, which grows really well, produced an astonishing surplus of food, and literally

tens of thousands of people came in there. And you'll hear if you look on Wikipedia or other places, they'll tell you, oh, the population of Cohokia was five, maybe ten thousand people, and then some will say, well, there might have been twenty thousand in the area, but now it is at least twenty thousand people right at the core of Kohoki, and another thirty thousand living right around it,

like in the suburb. The immediate suburbs. So in an area of a radius or let's say a diameter of ten miles, a circle of ten miles, you had fifty thousand people or more, and then a lot more living outside of that. But in the year eleven fifty it collapsed. And when it collapsed, this is the great mystery that comes up about Kahokia. Where did everybody go? Where did they go? I mean, you see that on ancient Aliens, you see it on other places, and where they went

as well. And what happened was that there was a massive drought. The people were being controlled and were going along with this kingship idea because and what I'll call the path of Soul's ideology. That that term is from a book that I wrote in twenty fourteen, and it's their belief system about what happens to you when you die and how to control where you go when you die. That's the path of souls. It involved the use of hallucinogenic substances, It involved the use of ritual, that involved

the use of these geometric earthworks. But when the drought occurred, people lost faith in the king, they lost faith in the system, and they were starving, so they left and then around the year twelve hundred, fifty years later, these same types of sites as Kahokia, with these gigantic platform mounds and multiple mounds. And by the way, Kahokia was

a walled fortress. It had walls twenty feet high. And right after Kahokia, around the year twelve hundred, you have hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of small towns and cities that are walled fortresses popping up from Wisconsin, in Michigan and in Pennsylvania, in Florida, in Alabama and Louisiana and Texas, all over the place. So I don't know how I got to that, uh, but I'll end with that because I can talk your whole time. I don't I don't need to do that.

Speaker 6

I think we started. There's Greg on the Adena, folks. That's one of my great answers. I actually lived just up the road from Chili Coffee today, so I'm uh, And that's kind of I always explained that as the you were to look at a map and make a bullseye of all the activity of the Diana Mounds, that's kind of the bulls eyes that is.

Speaker 5

That is the bullseye of it. But there are Dina mounds in Tennessee. I live in Tennessee. Sure, so there are Dina mounds here. Uh, there are a lot of them in Kentucky. Of course, it's pretty close to the Ohio River. Uh. Sure, yeah, New York as well, right, they stretch up Yeah, Pennsylvania. The biggest mound in Pennsylvania was called mcke's maun uh and it was a giant adena man mh.

Speaker 8

Well, it is also interesting that the Mohas releasing okay uh, but that the Mohawk they have like a swastika type. They call it like the Northern Gate, the Eastern Gate, and it's like the it's the different tribes, the Seneca, the Mohawk, and each one is a guardian of that specific gate. So I know from like the Quebec Ontario border, there's obviously the Khanawuage and so they are the guardians

of the Eastern Gate. And some say that the womp and belt that they hold is actually the Confederation Document of Canada because the Crown doesn't actually have one. So that is an interesting kind of Canadian conspiracy layer. But no, I agree with what Casey said, but that the southern sort of buildings that were more grand. But in defense of like the Great White North, we'll say the far

northern archaeology is very under explored. And there obviously was those studies in the Yukon that got I guess academically canceled because they upset indigenous sort of oral stories about the history of that area. But I have seen Sundance wheels and like stone ones that are they say are thousands of years old, So I have seen those in northern Alberta, so I know that there is something that

is like very interesting. I've also been to Sundance several times, so I don't know, but yeah, I mean it's a I think that you're right though. I think you see like a great movement of people, like I always say, like the Navajo, they only went in the fourteen hundreds, Yeah, right right, and they're related to people from that are They call themselves Dene, so they're even their language didn't change that much in those like seven hundred years of walking down south, I guess.

Speaker 7

So yeah, so I think.

Speaker 8

It's really interesting, but culturally very different. You have like a planes cosmology, Subarctic cosmology. They believe in rebirth and reincarnation and they're very specific that they do not practice counterclockwise medicine, whereas Navajos do have a night chant counterclockwise medicine tradition.

Speaker 5

When Navajos didn't use mounds either, Navajos would sometimes take bodies and dump them in a cave that was it, that was the burial, or put them in a crevice somewhere. I do have some Seneca in my background within the family, and I've always kind of identified I'm originally from Pennsylvania and there was a lot of Native American lore there. I will say that that I have so many people in Canada that had asked about mounds there, and I have a collection of mounds that were there, collection of

photos and information. Somebody asked me last week, where's the northernmost mound that I know of in North America? And I can't pronounce it because the name changed, But it's actually in what used to be called Barrow, Alaska, which is as far north in Alaska as you can go, right at that top of Alaska and the Aleutian Islands. One island called Rat Island in the Aleutian Islands has

five hundred mounds on it. Just one small island in the Aleutians, but all the Allusian islands are covered with them. Canada has a lot. I would suspect there are thousands of Canada in Canada that are not documented, which means registered with the government, with the agencies and their practices. The practices of the first people there were very similar to like the Seneca and the Mohawk and the Five Tribes and so on. And the swastika is a very

big deal. I don't show these much, but I have a whole bunch of magazines and photos of class commencements from Pennsylvania schools Indian schools that the whole front of the commencement booklet like it's a booklet and it's got rows of swastika is on it all over it, and that was the symbol of the school, the swastika. I have pictures of Native American basketball teams and they're on their jerseys for swastikas. Swastikas were it was considered a

symbol of good luck. It was a symbol of wisdom also, and I'm sure it was far deeper than that. But I do know that the mound Builder's cosmology with this path of soul's idea, I don't know how much that transfers to say, the Northern the Northern tribes, but I do know that they have the same basic beliefs as the Navajo. There's some shared underlying cosmology and belief system with all of them, and it appears to be the same cosmology and a lot of Asian and even European cultures.

Andrew Collins is one of my good friends. He stays with us a couple of times a year. We go over to England and stay with him a couple of times a year. And Andrew and I have written quite a few books together and made a lot of videos together. But Andrew studies that stuff in the cultures in Europe, and that's what we have collaborated on. I'll do the

Native American stuff and he does the European stuff. But there's some ancient system of beliefs about the body and about spirituality and the soul and what happens when we die that appears to be almost universal and what we're yeah, what we're seeing in the Native American low at least, is their side of that universal belief system.

Speaker 6

That's nice because there is definitely a crossover between the European the European as and sites in America. And I years ago on my podcast, I did a comparison of Liverpool, England and East Liverpool, Ohio, and you know they're both founded on mound sites, and you know it's distinctively similar kind of setups.

Speaker 7

And you know there's a there's an.

Speaker 6

Ancient site over there, I forget where in England, but it's called the Roman Mounds. I think that the Roman road Mounds.

Speaker 5

I have been to those, I have I've posted Yeah, yeah, my nice. They're giant mounds. They look just like mounds in the United States, but they're really big.

Speaker 7

Yeah, they look just like Hopewell Mounds to me.

Speaker 6

I mean they literally looked like some of the ones you see in Chili Cauity at the Hope.

Speaker 7

Well.

Speaker 5

Yeah, there there's a lot of those. The Roman Mounds are really they're much bigger than what they than the older mounds in England. There's mounds in Sweden. When I got on Twitter, I've got great photos from traveling around in Sweden and that was actually a criminal justice thing. I went to Sweden as a criminal justice consultant for them and wound up traveling all over the country, which was bizarre uh and went to mound sites all over the place.

Speaker 6

That's exactly what I do when I travel as well, I just when I used to do. I did twenty years in the Air Force, and wherever I was in the US, traveling a different Air Force bus as I was going to mountd sites.

Speaker 5

I'll mention one other thing here about the common allies and belief system. I know you know who Graham Hancock is. Okay, so, and you probably have heard of Andrew Collins. Andrew is on almost every Ancient Aliens episode, and he's on the William Shatner Show and several others. He pops up all the time. Andrew had an alternative theory about the Great Pyramid and the Three, the Three, the three pyramids at Giza, and of course Graham Hancock believes that they are aligned

with Orion, which came from Robert Bouvall. Of course, and so Andrew did some work and he wrote a book called The Signas Mystery, because an engineer has said, well, the stars of Signus, which is the northern cross, the three the three main it's actually the cross the t of Signus. Those three stars fit the pyramids better. So Graham didn't like that. Graham and Andrew are good friends. At the time, I didn't know Graham. I do know Graham now pretty well and have interacted with him quite

a lot. But Graham said, signus is ridiculous, it's not part of it. Well, when the book Path of Souls came out in twenty fourteen, Andrew wrote the introduction to it, and Graham wound up buying The Path of Souls and then he contacted me, and it was astonishing because in the Path of Souls it talks about this belief system of Native Americans. When they die, they do this ceremony for the soul, and the ceremony is done on the winter solstice, and it's aimed at Oryan. You have to

aim it at Oryan. So you might do a cremation on the top of a crematory mound, and you have a enclosure around the mound like earthworks. Hope well, earthworks, But there's an opening and the soul is propelled through that opening, and it has to happen on the winter

solstice sunrise. They've got a two week window to do it, and the soul makes a leap toward Orion's nebula, which is called Messa forty three, and it's right under the three Belt stars, and it has to occur right before the sun rises and blots it out, so Oriyon sets into the western horizon. Then the soul tucks into Messa forty three. There's actually a depiction of this in lots of Native American pottery and in lots of their iconography.

And the soul then traverses the underworld during the day, so it makes a safe passage in the underworld, tucked in to an ogie is the term they use, that spelled ogee. The soul goes under and around and it comes up the next night on the eastern horizon, which is where Oryon rises, and then of course it crosses the sky and sets in the western horizon when it comes up when it's first scene to night, the soul

comes out of this of messy or this ogie. It hops on the Milky Way and makes a journey that lasts a while on the Path of Souls or the ghost Trail as some Native American tribes call it, to signus and at the Signals constellation it meets a gigantic raptor bird, which is a judge, and then it has these trials, and the judge is at the fork of the milky way. One side of the milky way is

a dead end. The other side continues on. If the soul is found worthy and not burdened by its deeds on Earth, it is allowed to pass, and it goes to another portal or ogi, and it goes to the other world. Well, when Graham saw that, Graham researched the same stuff and said, oh my God. I was at a conference with Graham and he stood up. He showed the cover of Path of Souls, and he said, Okay, I got to admit it that the Path of Soul, it's the same thing that the ancient Egyptians were doing.

That it's the exact same kind of cosmology, and it's shown. They showed it slightly different. But that's where the idea comes from. What I've said that there's a shared belief system here that is across massive cultures, and there's no real way to explain it except I do believe that ancient America had lots of people come in and out many many times, many intrusions. I will say this that if a thousand men came, let's say, a thousand guys from England came in, which isn't what I'm claiming. But

let's say a thousand Vikings came in. If they were all men, they wouldn't leave a trace of themselves with Native Americans, not a genetic trace if you're looking at ancient DNA, which is mitochondrial DNA, because mitochondrial DNA only comes from the female side. So even if the those Vikings had inner bred and had you know, thousands and thousands and thousands of children that and their descendants are still alive today, they wouldn't have a genetic trace with mitochondrial DNA.

Speaker 2

That's what I was going to ask about.

Speaker 1

If you thought that there had been some you know, intermeshing with the Vikings and the Lansau you know meadows, and then yeah, I mean just with the mcmac. I'm I'm McK mac, and I know they rather would be called migmog now. But I had some Canadian guests right in and talk to me about this, and then I studied it more because it was fascinating, and so I was going to ask about that if you thought maybe that's why those people were described as white, you know, like I.

Speaker 5

Think that I even believe with along with Scott Walter, whom now friends with. Scott believes that the Templars came in there and that their their flag or their symbol came from the Templars. And while mainstream archaeologists hate this stuff, they hate it because they've said for so long that you know, it didn't happen, didn't happen, And now more and more evidence comes up, and I think it probably did happen. I think the Chinese came in the West

Coast too, there were Chinese. There's actually native American DNA that perfectly matches what we would call formo well Taiwan. Sorry, I can't say foremost it's a dirty word. It used to be called that when I was in school, that they made him change the name. Long story.

Speaker 7

There the other China, yes, the original China.

Speaker 5

But also Japan. There is a great deal of evidence that the genetic evidence that there are Japanese descendants that came into the Americas, and there is a group living in Brazil. There is a Brazilian tribe that is right now that is an identical match to the the indigenous people of Australia and New Zealand.

Speaker 1

Well, so much of that native and I've talked about this a lot on my channel and it goes clear into Mormonism. I totally think that not only the Templar tradition came in, but Martinist tradition where they were practicing solomonic magic. And you see it with these native tribes as well, Like I mean, they can't chuck it out, but they hate it. They hate it.

Speaker 5

So yeah, it's it's a really interesting topic and it's a it's a bottomless pit to talk about.

Speaker 8

It is interesting that in Canada to be on the Indian Act, to be part of like a covered under the Indian Act, you have to use your mRNA to enroll tribally. So they use the mRNA specifically to prove tribal enrollment here. Now this is very different than the US and how it works, and we have like a whole federal bureaucracy that covers tribal identity and all that.

But it is very interesting and like the idea of land claims like you guys are talking about, like Martinism, and I agree, I think that there was a templar influence because if you look at treaty chiefs, especially the numbered treaties, so in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba part of Ontario. These are called the Numbered Treaties. So these were like the major, major treaties that sort of set up the founding of Canada really because the treaties are with the crown.

So all the treaty chiefs had blue eyes. All the treaty chiefs signatories, so it is interesting. And they were all mixed race, but more explicitly mixed race, not like mixed race like me where they're like half half. Not that they were like secretly. I mean, I don't know if they were, but they were like French, Canadian or Scottish usually those are usually the two things. And in regards to Chinese ethnicity in on the West Coast, this is something I actually studied a little bit. And so

so there is a more recent explanation. And when we uh JJ and Nick and I can't remember who else was there, but we did the big trouble in Little China, so we talked a little bit. Yeah, and so we talked a little bit about this. So the Chinese when they first came to North America, they didn't were not

allowed to bring women. So there was actually a high degree of inter marriage between the two communities, and even like Jennifer Tilly is the most famous example, but there's actually most people from those islands, like you were talking about the Aleutian Islands in Yukavic and so the Vancouver Islands, a lot of those native people actually have Chinese grandparents or Chinese ancestry of significant degree. They were saying, it's

upwards of thirty percent of them. So that's considered significant for like an ethnic Studi's kind of demography. So it is interesting, but I just think it might be more recent, but it definitely exists, and people were definitely seeing systems the same, like the medicine societies, like the Metawun societies. Yeah, there's definitely overlap with like freemasonry and like Cabala and how they understand sort of the cosmology. And you look at medicine wheels and the colors all match and it

looks like malkouth on the Cabala stick tree. But then you understand like it turns and there's all this build out, but it's all oral, right, So that's sort of the difference between like the more European stuff and the obviously the more indigenous stuff. It's also interesting, Greg about your point about Kahokia, because in Cree tradition, if a society collapsed, they would just disperse into small family bands, and that's totally fine. It was a very kind of anarchic existence.

So if it seems like they were drawing more from the Cherokee kind of culture nexus, because the five civilized shrubs, interestingly, are all part of the same ethno linguistic family, right, and they don't clude like these other people that we're talking about, like how you was talking about Nyckmah. So they're Algonquin speakers. I'm talking about Cree people. They're algonquin speakers. Denny people are not Algonquin speakers, but they're part of

an arctic thing. So they've clearly adopted the religion as they move south, if you want to call it like an axial religion, like they started absorbing the practices as they moved into the Southwest. That's how I think of it.

Speaker 5

I don't know if you agree with that or not. Holy cam Man, you said so much I'd like to ask you about or comment on. One of the things is go back to your beginning when you mentioned that they I think you said they use mitochondrial DNA for tribal identity or to get in to be officially recognized. Is that right.

Speaker 8

Yeah, it's especially been a big push in the last like twenty years among particularly like native academics, like non scientist native academics.

Speaker 5

As so, what are the identity what are the half of groups they accept ABCDX, im adcd X.

Speaker 8

I am not the one to ask for this, but there is. There is a two thousand, I want to say, two thousand and four book by Kim Tolbert, and she talks all about this. I'm not saying I agree with her conclusions. I don't actually agree, but that is the book to reference because that's like she makes the case for like tribal DNA or tribal identity being tied to mRNA.

Speaker 5

Okay, so in North America, I'm sorry, In the United States, there's about I know of about one hundred studies where they took skeletal This is before nagpro got some teeth and stopped it, but there's about one hundred studies where

skeletal remains from mounds were tested for mitochondrial DNA. And this began actually in the nineteen eighties, and it began when the National Institutes of Health were trying to find the genetic cause of certain dis diseases that the Pima tribe in Southwest America and the big the Blackfoot tribe in the north I'll call it Northwest area Central area of the United States. And so as a test they took nuclear DNA from them, which you get from blood.

But they also took mitochondrial DNA as a test, and they were surprised. The reason they took mitochondrial DNA is because they believed that the mitochondria, which are a type of vestigial bacteria, that the mitochondria probably didn't mutate. They had a very simple DNA structure, and they were shocked. They came up with four different types of mitochondrial DNA, and because it was convenient for them and they were shocked, they said, oh, what do we call them. Let's call

them ABCD. And all of that came from North America, so a media or from the United States. Immediately they started testing these skeleton remains out of mounds, and sure enough they found ABC and D. So at that time archaeologists from the United States went to Siberia and started testing Siberian natives that had lived there their entire lives, and they found sure enough, they had a C and D. They then tested some people in Japan and China and found that they had B. That these are called Happler

groups or haplotypes, and so they said, ah, we've proven that all of the Native Americans came from Siberia across Beringia. That was it initially, and then they found one they couldn't explain in skeleton remains and in the testing of living Native Americans it started popping up about one to two to three percent of Native Americans had it, and they couldn't They were shocked. They hadn't found any of it anywhere else except in the skeletonym and in living

Native Americans. And they call it X. They literally called the fifth one X. And it's astonishing. So Happler group X made them start looking everywhere around the world. And today there are thirty two major haplogroups of mitochondrial DNA. And if you've ever heard of mitochondrial EVE, it's based upon all these Happler group studies that began around nineteen eighty two by the National Institute's of Health, designed to study Native American genetic diseases. That's where it all came from.

So HAPLA group X and A. It's a time machine. It's very difficult to explain this, but mitochondria have mutations on a fairly regular rate, so many thousands of years as I recall it, fivey one hundred and some odd number of years as the average, but it mutates. So by removing remains from cemeteries and knowing when these remains were buried, which is something they've actually done all over the place, they can tell when these different HAPLA groups

developed in different areas of the world. One good example is HAPLA group X. A place where it popped up to very high degree is in the Pyrenees Mountains in five to six thousand year old cemeteries in the Pyrenees. Anybody know who the people that lived in the Pyrenees were the very pardon the Basques, correct, the Basques. Nobody knows where the Basques come from, including the Basque. They don't seem to know. So it's a very unusual group of people. By the way, that's a place where Edgar

Casey said the Atlanteans went. Also, in addition to North America, they went to the Basque or to the Pyrenees mountains anyway. So that's one of the things I wanted to ask you about. If they're using Happler Group's A, B, C, and D, which was the first ones found. And I have read a bit out of Canada of skeletal remain research, all of which was done in the early eighties and very early nineties, but all of that has come to a halt, at least a part where they're looking at

the skeletal remains. There's a fellow and go to another thing you said, there's a fellow by the name of Pd Newman who has a recent book called Tripping on the Trail of Ghosts, which he started when he read Path of Souls and had a discussion with Graham Hancock. It was Graham Hancock who told him you needed to read this book Path of Souls at a conference in England.

So Pd is an expert in masonry, is a thirty second degree Mason, and he wrote a book on the Theoredy, and so he wrote this book, Tripping on the Path of Souls, which is about the Mida One ceremony, which involves an ayahuasca like substance that Native Americans. We know they were using ayahuasca. Course is the substance, the DMT substance used in South America, but it was also being

used here in North America. And it's shown the way to make it and how it's used is in some of the midi one ceremonies that are in the in the literature, the ethnography literature from the eighteen hundreds, and they were using a lot of hallucinogens in this school.

Speaker 8

Yeah, yeah, I'm really familiar with the Daniel Mormon's he wrote like that huge the first huge compendium on like the ethnobotanical uc I'm.

Speaker 5

Sure from that, yeah, everybody book.

Speaker 8

So in my opinion, this is just my theory. This is coming to something I'm just playing with. But I actually think it might because Pasaflora so passion flower is a really good Maoi inhibitor actually, and so I actually think that that is what was utilized because you can

see a lot of I'm really interested in syncretism. So what I used to think about a lot was kind of like the syncretism between like indigenous pathways and like falsism, because in Canada especially, most Native people are Catholic, so you see a lot more syncretism in those kind of churches,

in those kind of regions. So I was the idea that the a passion flower like whe of European thoughts said that, okay, that is like the Christ, like the explosion of like you could say, like the splendor of God, like the explosion of like a religious experience, and like an indigenous person would say that they would have maybe a different cosmological reasoning that they would see the same thing. They would they would know that that's from the Creator,

from whatever, from the spirit. So I just think that that's really interesting, and so I just I vote past the flora for.

Speaker 5

My exactly what PD Newman says, that's one of the main substances. In fact, he travels now to mounds all over the country and looking at what's growing around the mounds, he passion flower was found that most sites, along with the the DMT, the main substance or the main plant that it came from is honey locust trees, and it

is in the roots of honeylocusts. So they would mix passion flower with honeylocust, with the roots of honeylocust, and it created the same experience as you get with ayahuasca.

He's also found psilocybin mushrooms virtually everywhere around them, amanita mushrooms mainly in the a little further north, and many many other substances, although deta was also used with well all the tribes used to Terra, and a lot of these substances have been found in the residual studies that have been done on pipes and various pottery that's been found. There are hundreds of studies where they've taken ancient pottery and ancient pipes that have been excavated from mount and

then chemically analyzed what sent them. Passion flower, the root from the honeylocust tree, lots of mushroom those are found in it, and detera, and of course tobacco in the pipes. So many people want to believe they smoke marijuana, but it wasn't. Around thousands of years ago, it wasn't. Yeah, so just go off.

Speaker 8

Something you said, Greg really quickly, is honey locus is actually in the same family as acacia, So you see, And it's also interesting to note that a lot of the flora of North America is actually much more closely related to the flora of Asia and like the sort of like that part of coastal Russia, I guess you could say than it is to Europe, like most of our native species are much closer to that, and so that is considered to be of greater ethno botanical or

ethno medicinal potential, like where European herbs. There's an idea in Culpepper where he says, like the herbs for the people grow around those people. So in like England, they just need like the common herbs they're fine with, like comfrey and coleenjula, but like the the more quote unquote air quotes jj civilized you you go, the more eastward, the more dense the population, you need plague medicines, you

need like complicated medicinal compounds. So the herbs neces necessarily have to be and thank you necessarily have to be more potent. So it is interesting that we share or not we but you know North Americans we share like that our herbs also have a high degree of medicinal potency.

Speaker 5

You are very knowledgeable about that. I have to admit that I've never met anybody on any show that I've done, and believe me, I have done well. I started in the eighties, and back in those days, you had to actually go into the booth uh to do radio shows. But I did hundreds of radio shows back then. UH. But I've never hit anybody that knew all this. Uh. And you are a men. It's amazing.

Speaker 2

That's why he's.

Speaker 8

Thank you so much. Greg.

Speaker 5

I appreciate what PD has found, and he's actually gone and taken this stuff into academic archaeologists talk to him in their labs, and what they've found is that shaman were carrying around these these medical or you know, the medicines that they needed, and they planted them near the mound sites. So he's found like acacia, and he's found a lot of these oh honeylocust plants growing around the mound sites. And there's too many. It had to be

planted there. But it's all over the place. Now we're only talking about certain kinds of mound sites where this path the soul's ideology was present, where you know, you were sending the soul to the stars, and so you had to use these substances. And of course the whole Middle One story that all that, all that mythology is tied into this.

Speaker 1

Uh.

Speaker 5

So PD has has written about how amazing, uh, this mythology that is in these you know, these these verbal stories told from one generation to another to another appear to be pretty accurate even now that they're thousands of years old altogether, because they've been passed down for thousands of years. But they are they are stories telling people how to use it and what happens on the path as you are using it. Anyway, I'm going off on another tangent here.

Speaker 8

No, I don't think you are at all, because I think that there is there's a relationship between like what PD's talking about, what you're talking about with the mounds and with like the civilizational sites around. I know JJ is also like probably loves us right now, is that like the civilizational sites being centered around the mounds. And

I think that that's true. And I also think that there is like a biodynamic reason too, because like the obviously the further north you go, it gets really harsh in the winters, so you would like you necessitate a different kind of social organization. But like even in Illinois that's kind of like that's still not that's still not warm, right, like you know, so you you would have to you would have to have something that sort of drew people

in ideologically or politically or or spiritually. As you're arguing, like with the idea of the king, that makes a lot of sense, right, it's very logical.

Speaker 5

Well, and Illinois, here's one of the things that they I mean, I'm talking about all the specific evidence, of course, the evidence, the evidence of interaction. Rubber balls from that came from rubber from Central America have been found at Jhokum ball court sites and the ball courts. Now we're talking about ancient When I say ball courts, we're talking about things that are a couple thousand years old. And chocolate.

Chocolate has been found in residue studies at Ettawa, Georgia, at the site of Ediwa, and the only place it comes from is Central America, Yucatan, Central America. There is no chocolate that grows further north. These are just two pieces of evidence about it. Gosh Okay. So another thing is round. There are round, flat top mounds. So when I say round, the base is not square like a

pyramid or even rectangular. It's perfectly round. Some of these are ten twenty feet high thirty feet high, so they're very big around. They're found at Jojokam sites in Arizona. Arizona has hundreds of platform mounds. Most people don't know that they have it because they're now covered from thousands of years, you know, sand blowing on them and building collapses on them. But there's a couple thousand platform mouns. There's about one hundred and fifty to two hundred that

you can go see. But the round ones apparently all came up from the South. They came up from meso American cultures, and those round ones then were seen in what are called Cato Lands, which are mainly in Arkansas and parts of Texas and parts of Oklahoma. And then the Cato were the ones that carried them over and started Kahokia. Well what they were there's two things they're used for. One of them is they were literally performance mounds. And when I say a performance mound, it's like you'd

have a stage. They were a stage, and they were stages for both religious and for some sort of political or other use. And there were others that are literally now called water temples in archaeology. And so at the top of these mounds they built these big buildings and we know, like the big building on the top of Monks Mound Atkahokia was one hundred feet long, fifty feet wide, and it was fifty feet tall. This is all known.

This is mainstream archaeology. So it was a five thousand square foot building on the floor and it probably had multiple levels, although we don't know that. But it's not the biggest building that's ever found that was ever found. The biggest one that I'm aware of was in Safety Safety Harbor, Florida, where the Spanish went in and met the His name was Carlos, at least that's what they

called him, the cask and inside where he was. I've posted pictures of this because the University of Florida's the museum at the University of Florida, which is called the Florida Natural History Museum, has a full sized diorama of this, which all comes from what the Spanish said, and they said that five thousand people would have easily stood in this building where the king lived five thousand. There were two thousand people in it when the Spanish were there.

I'm in this one building where the king resided, So there was a lot of these buildings were big. But back to Kahokia, then these water temples had these giant sweat lodges in them buildings where water was carried up and fires were going. And that's like a perfect thing during the winter. Now I'm from I'm from central Pennsylvania initially, uh. And I've traveled a lot through Ohio and Illinois and the winter, and yeah, you're right, it's awful cold. Uh.

But these mound sites were lived in year around. There. There's one in Astalon, Wisconsin, UH, which was a Kahokia outpost uh. That is way up toward the beginning of the Mississippi River, and it was year round also, and it had the same thing. It had the sweat lodges on these central mounds uh, circular mounds uh. And I and that all they believe came from the Mesoamerican influence. So I don't know where I'm going with that. So I'll stop and see what else we got.

Speaker 3

Before we move on to Lisa. I know there was something that you wanted to mention before. I did want to before we move on, because I wanted to bring something up. Oh no, you tried to try a few times.

Speaker 4

Well, just I guess I have two points regarding haploid groups and then also burial mounds. So I'll go to the haploid groups first. With it's a bit controversial with when we look at haploid groups, at least in genetic lines or ancestral lines, especially with mitochondrial DNA, and especially looking into the fossil records. When we see a complete haploid group represented in the population and then we see scattering,

that's called a dilution effect. So it would almost be to me that it started in the Americas and the movement went outward, not inward. Does that make sense?

Speaker 5

I understand that there is a version that did start here in America. It's X two A. It's called and it's so this this gets so complicated. Initially it really looked like yep, X two A started in America. There is a The highest distribution of haplogroup X in the world is actually the Drus in Lebanon and Syria. Uh, and they're actually fighting right now against the Syrians, the Syrian leadership. But the Drews have always they call themselves

the children of the law of one. If you know anything about ager Casey, agar Casey said, the good side of the Atlanteans, because it's split into two groups there was a good side and a not so good side. But the good side was the children of the law of one. But anyway, that's what the Drews call themselves. But anyway, yes, it does disperse X two A very clearly started here. Sorry, go ahead, you know.

Speaker 4

And the reason that I kind of, I personally subscribe to that theory is because when we look at some of the earliest migrations of the earliest people, they followed animals, majority of them, the canines, be season, the equine species. Canine and equine species start in America. Their origin started in the Americas, and they moved westward. I'm sorry, yes, westward, usually following the path of the sun.

Speaker 5

Right.

Speaker 4

Rarely do you see migration into eastward. It's always westward. But I mean it's it's one of those things. And so when you see these haploid groups and you see a dilution effect, and then Jin's excellent point, you see the same type of botanical type genetics in the Americas and in Asia. It almost begs the question are we looking at this backwards? Are we looking at it from from you know, like flip it the other way around. But that was just that was just a quick point.

But my question to the burial mounds one of the things that I found pretty interesting, and you mentioned Piadras that was built I believe in the USA Macinta River.

Speaker 5

Yeah. Yeah, we had to take that river to get there, and we saw drug runners while we were there. After we were there. It's not a tourist site. So after we were there, drug runners took it over and actually put machine gun this in there, and the DA the DEA went in with black Cat black Hawk helicopters and got them out. But another story.

Speaker 4

Sorry, no, no, that's that's good. You were You got the full experience out of Central America. And so then when you mentioned the Pyramids of Egypt, and so you have the Nile River, and I believe, if I'm not mistaken, that the Vatican City was also built on burial mounds, and believe it was. It was on the Tiber River and it was an ancient burial mound, if I'm not mistaken.

And so you see all of these burial mounds being built on the banks or at the mouth of a river, and you almost have to wonder, why was there not an outbreak of tuberculosis, of cholera, of hepatitis. They're burying all these bodies, surely they're seeping into the groundwater and going to come out, but there isn't at all. And so I always found that completely fascinating. So my question to you was, what do you think the significance was in placing these burial mountains by water?

Speaker 5

Well, in the path of Soul's ideology, the soul had to make a leap across the body of water to the star to mess a forty two or Oryon's nebula. That's that is the one of the major components of the path of Soul's ritual. And I don't know why you have to go over a body of water, but that's what it is. Uh, there are some there are, of course, burial mounds that don't have any water around them. I would assume that in some places, you know, depths would occur and that the people live near water. They

always had to live near water. The population centers were near water, just as they are today. But I don't know, I do not know, you know, the the idea of that. They used to say that Kahokia. This was one of the theories about Cohokia when the tens of thousands of people left Kahokiah or disappeared. According to the mystery there that it might have been disease, and I once thought it was disease, and I once thought, maybe it's because

they used all the wood. You know, when you got fifty thousand people basically living on the land and they all need wood every day for fire and they start moving out, I figured, oh, they used all the wood and it became unsustainable. But that's not the case either. So, yeah, Kahokia didn't disappear because of their diseases. There were diseases that occurred, but it's after the Spanish came in, yes, and it destroyed up to ninety eight percent of the

population in some places. So I don't know. I don't have an idea why they a lot of the you know, they just didn't throw a body on the ground and then cover it with dirt. That's what almost everybody thought that a mound is, and that's what I thought till I got till I really got into this. When I started, I didn't know anything about this, and I thought a mound was just a you know, dird over a dead body. But usually they prepared the space. They carefully prepared it

they created tombs. People don't know this either. If you go to England, you'll see a lot of stone burial chambers, really well made stone burial chambers. Loads of American mounds have the exact same thing. Stone burial chambers, very well made stone burial chambers. But most people don't know this. The roofs were made out of either big slabs of stone put over each other, or they often used gigantic logs laid across and then put stone on top of them.

A lot of these, a lot of these burial chambers have been excavated, or I'll use the word looted because that's more appropriate. They have been looted intact, and they've just found incredible stuff out of them. I mean, it's incredible, how much how many artifacts and the I hate I seldom said, I'm never said, I'm not sure I want to.

I'm not going to say what all the things that have been found at but lots of pottery, lots of copper, lots of lots of flint, coal, you name it, obsidian, stone tablets, the.

Speaker 7

Stone tablets.

Speaker 5

You know you mentioned gold. Some I hate to say it's some gold and silver artifacts have been removed from Native American mounds. Uh, it's very very rare. But some has And that's not what I did not want to say, because a looter here, you know, Oh my god, I'm digging in a mound find gold and silver. No, you aren't going to find golden smith. You're gonna find the inside of a of a federal prison, now if you

do that. But yes, some gold and silver have been found by archaeologists doing excavations in the Native American mass. It's hard to find those reports. I don't have those. I don't mention that in here because of you. I just don't. Yeah.

Speaker 6

My favorite findings are the stone tablets with the ancient writings that we don't recognize, and like the Cincinnati tablet for example, Yeah, which appears to be ancient Hittite.

Speaker 5

There's about a dozen Dina tablets. That's now I say a lot. Okay, these are mounds, the Adena mounds are where these tablets. I don't have a I have replicas here if I thought of it. I brought some up and showed them. But they're about this big.

Speaker 1

Uh.

Speaker 5

They're usually made of shale or sandstone. They're very well made. They're about a half inch thick. They have carvings on them, They have all kinds of Some of them have what looks like a form of writing. Most of them have weird symbols. They're usually divided into four quadrants. It's a lot of weird symbols. In about fifty fourteen or so of these been found. If you read up about them, you'll say, well, archaeologists have only found two of them.

The rest of them, you know, are called into question because they were found by non archaeologists. But they're genuine and you can't see the originals anymore except for those in private collections.

Speaker 7

But yeah, they do occasionally.

Speaker 6

The Cincinnatis have one on display the Cincinnati Art Museum because they claim it's art.

Speaker 5

Yeah, well, I suspect they don't now, not with diapra. And that's only happened in the recent months. Loads of museums have closed. They've closed in the Native American section. Some of the giant museums have just cordoned off the whole Native america An area until a NAGPRO representative goes through.

Speaker 7

I've posed a recent revision to now.

Speaker 5

It was revised about a year and a half ago, and the revisions went into effect about Uh, let's see six months before November anyway, you can read a lot of this in the archaeology journals about what happened. And so the federal government, about six months before the election began enforcing the new NAGPRA regulations, not the law, but the newly regulations that require every Native American artifact displayed in a public museum or university to have approval from

a tribe registered nagpro representative. I went through the Yeah, I went so, and it costs a lot of money. So university and there's only a few of them. The federal they get registered or authorized to do this. There aren't many tribal representatives that are authorized to do it,

so it's taking a lot of time. So rather than museums just pulling everything out of display, they just closed the doors to that area, which we've found in Texas, the Portsmouth, Ohio Museum, which had an incredible collection, they just cordin. Yeah, the second floor, which is where all that was.

Speaker 6

That makes a lot of sense because I had a friend of mine go to the Ohio History Museum in Columbus last time to take his kids there.

Speaker 7

Now, he was showing me pictures where's the tablets? And I said, oh, man, they're not.

Speaker 5

There, or they nothing. There's nothing there that's wild. That's that's exactly why. Well, the Etowa Museum has repatriated the two marble statues about this big two beautiful marble statues that were displayed there that were excavated from the Etowah Mounds in the eighteen hundreds. I've got loads of photos from them, saw them there. Those have been repatriated the University of Alabama Museum at Moundville, which had thousands of

incredible artifacts from the mounds. All of those were actually reburied in a mound at the site. About a year ago. They had a secret ceremony where they were reburied Southwest. Reburied a lot. Now what you'll see in some are these have to be approved too. Replicas. There are some pottery replicas that they show, but those have to be approved also. I went to the University of Arkansas Museum in Fayetteville and saw, I'm going to guess one hundred

thousand artifacts. I posted photos of being in this museum. It's closed. I got permission to go in. I wasn't allowed to see the repatriated artifacts, which are on these stands that are about shelves that are about ten feet high, really long, and there's like thirty or forty double shelves that are just full. I've posted some photos of that on Twitter, but none of that is shown, nor will it be. So that's what's happened. Coolam moch Georgia Cola

Mochi had incredible artifacts taken. They had They were the only place I know of where they found a couple hundred pottery vessels found intact that were all perfectly preserved, placed in a chamber and a mound so they would not break, would not get wet, and they were recovered in the nineteen hundreds and nineteen forties and put on display there. I mean, absolutely beautiful. I've posted a lot of pictures of those on Twitter. Also, that's now been closed.

I was there last year at this time, and from last year at this time to now the museums closed and they're removing all of those artifacts from display. So that's happening everywhere.

Speaker 2

Oh I just go ahead, Nick, please.

Speaker 3

Sorry, Uh, this might be a little bit of a long winded question, but I did want to wrap it up in a little bit, So I mean, I did want to ask, well, Logan Win did answer. I know, like how Mexico kind of gets looked over for their pyramids, I think to an extent. So I was wondering if there was anything with like the mountains there was as well, was there any that you thought were rather impressive that don't get like any recognition or anything.

Speaker 5

Uh. There were mounds that were covered with stone. There are mounds that had stone sides. They had stone slabs on them. The first people that came in settlers. The first settlers that came in found all those stone slabs and stones convenient building material and they took them downtown Saint Louis, Missouri, where the Arch is. I've I've posted a photo or illustrations of the rebuilt site. There was

a gigantic mound site there. It was a walled fortress right by the river, right under where the arch is and the football stadium is, where Big Mound was. Big Mound Saint Louis was absolutely gigantic, a massive mound. The first long Nose God was found. Artifact was found in Big Mound. When it was destroyed, they brought in Big Mound was destroyed in eighteen fifties to eighteen sixties. It took a couple years. They had to bring in a steam shovel. There are photographs of it, and they literally

obliterated everything in downtown Saint Louis. They just destroyed it right across the river East Saint Louis, same thing. East Saint Louis had a complex of roughly twenty to fifty mounds. It's believed to have been fifty altogether. I've put up an illustration of East Saint Louis, Illinois on Twitter, also that a couple of weeks ago, all of that obliterated gone. Almost all mound sites are gone. Somewhere between eighty to ninety percent of mound sites that were in the United

States are gone. They've been destroyed. Loads of them had stone exteriors, but they're gone. Some of the artifacts taken out of them are just as incredible, lacking a lot of the gold and silver, like gold and silver masks. I've never seen a gold mask or a silver mask that came out of a North American mound. I have seen a lot of turquoise that came out of North American mounds, but not gold and silver. But the main thing that's overlooked is that was the dominant culture that

was here in the fifteen forties, and it disappeared. It disappeared within twenty years gone. The population, which was probably twenty to thirty million in what we call the United States, went down ninety five to ninety eight percent within thirty years, and it was forgotten by the time the first settlers came in the year sixteen hundred, around sixteen hundred and started pushing west. By then, there had been almost two hundred years or one hundred and fifty years of growth.

Everything was overgrown, Everything looked natural. There was almost nobody left to explain it. And the myth of the mountain builders started because of that. But the population was absolutely decimated. I will add one more thing to this. The in the Yucatan it was solid buildings, solid cities. There was an island off Yucatan called Cerritos that was six hundred feet diameter, had a giant stone wall around it, and

then had a stone wall in the water. I have actually filmed that entire stone wall underwater, and that was chichen Itza's port. It's at Islus Sarritos, which is off the coast of Yucatan and from there. These huge canoes were going to Florida and to Louisiana and the Gulf of Alabama and Mexican Mexico. When I said the Gulf of Alabama, I mean the shores along the golf, not the Gulf of al I just changed the name again.

Speaker 3

Oh my god, he just made that one off. That's great.

Speaker 5

It's just a forgotten culture. It was dominated the whole land. It's just it's forgotten. That's why I'm doing what I'm doing. That's it.

Speaker 2

I have a question about the baths.

Speaker 1

You brought up the basques and the rh factor, and I know we haven't got into this, but I'm more fascinated with the esoteric end of things and how they spoke about these giants that were doing this weird sex stuff.

Speaker 2

With everybody and then they had to take them out.

Speaker 1

And then we've got the stories of the Indigo children and this new rh factor and a lot of these things that seemingly supported I mean, we can say evolution, but it's never happened again.

Speaker 2

I mean ever, So, how do you feel about all that?

Speaker 5

Well, that's a lot that I know. Yeah, we could do more than a show on that. So I will say this there is. There are several really good tales Native American tales about how they had to rise up against the giants who were their leaders. Now they in general, they don't say their leaders were ten twenty thirty feet high. They talk about them as very big, physically big people. There's several ways to pronounce it. But this comes into

where the Adina were and so on. And they said that they rose against these leaders when their demands got preposterous, and they were mainly sexual demands, that's what's in it. And they rose and they killed them all off. There are a lot of mythological tales of Native Americans. One more thing about that. The Smithsonian did a seven year mound survey project during which they excavated three thousand mounds.

That was started in the eighteen fifties or the eighteen seventies actually, And during their mound survey project, digging into three thousand mounds, they dug up and recorded seventeen skeletons in very well made tombs, all of which were seven feet tall. Two seven feet eight inches tall was the largest win after And that's all in the Smithsonian publications.

Archaeologists found those since then, since they did it, roughly another ten skeletons were recovered by mainstream archaeologists in their literature of about ten skeletons found that were seven feet tall to eight feet tall. Loads of them. I don't even talk about these loads and loads of skeletons were like six foot four to six foot eight something like that.

But you know, everybody's interested in the seven footers. Statistically speaking, one of every seven one of every one hundred and seventy four thousand, I think it's seventy four thousand, six hundred people is seven feet tall. And I did a statistical analysis of the skeletons that were found by the Smithsonian published it in that book Path of Souls, and found that it is not it is statistically not possible

by chance alone for that. And archaeologists actually they jumped on that and said it's the best thing they'd seen in the alternative field, since I'm an alternative person to them, and they called it the Adena elite hypothesis, and that is that the Adena leadership, the elite of the population were abnormally large people, which in a book that Andrew Collins and I co authored called Denisovan Origins, we believe that they had some Denisovan They were Denisovan hybrids or

ancestors of Denisovans that had interbred with other people and wound up over here lost there.

Speaker 1

You go, Well, well, I bring it up because the Mormons always speak about you know, one of their top secret passwords when you go through the temple is talking about the sinews and the life and the sinews, and they're affiliated with skull and bones and all these things. So the stuff you're talking about to me, I mean, no wonder these people are putting buildings on top of mounds, right, They're they're harnessing. They're harnessing like in my opinion, I mean the blood, the blood speaks.

Speaker 5

Yeah. A lot of people think that it's an energy source. Yeah, there's a lot. And they used crystals for something, and there's a little experiment. I tell people. You can light up a room with two crystals and you can put your you can put the crystals in a bathtub filled with water, and you can if you have all the lights out, you can light up the whole room with refraction from the crystals. Uh. The first show I ever did with Art Bell back in the early one of

his last shows, Art came back after a break. You know, they had these breaks, and all the breaks on those late night radio shows are for men's prostate problems. So they lasted about five minutes and Art Bell came back and he and he called me doctor Little. Then, well, doctor Little, I did this. I did exactly what you said with those crystals. During the break. I went into the bathroom. I filled the tub full of water, I

got a pair of gloves. I took two large crystals like you told me, and I turned out the lights and I put my hands in that bathtub and I did just what you told me to do. And do you know what happened? And I was kind of and I said it worked. He said, yes, it worked. He said I couldn't believe it. He said, I had no idea it would do that. And if you rub, if you you need to use gloves to do this. This

is just a hint. You gotta wear some gloves, uh, And you gotta rub the two crystals together really hard, and you and the rougher they are the better. And you do it underwater. Do it underwater the lights out and you get refraction off of it. And it's called the piezoelectric effect. They're little, you know, you get people would say, always the sparks. It's not sparks, they're little plasmas coming off of it. They're electrical plasmas. So anyway,

and this shaman used to do that. They'd put these crystal shaman would put pieces of crystals in leather pouches in a dark room, and you can grind those things, and as you grind them, you'll see little balls of light fly fly out of the leather pouch. So, for what it's worth, Nick's finding this hilarious.

Speaker 2

No, he's laughing at gin.

Speaker 5

Jin's bath.

Speaker 2

He says, he does this, So.

Speaker 5

No, I was it's good.

Speaker 3

I was thinking of myself all of all the ritual bats I've probably done because I used to. I used to, you know, practice ritual magic. I was like, I never once thought about, you know, banging the crystals together. I just threw them in the top. So that's interesting.

Speaker 5

Man. I made a we made it. I made a film for Andrew Collins. It's head over a million views, it's on YouTube. But I needed to simulate cosmic rays going through literally moving through the eyes and creating flashes of light in the eyes in a cave. So I had to simulate it. So we set up. I have a good night vision camera, video camera from the year

two thousand. I bought this thing and it has a souper slow motion in it, and so we set it up and in a room, I took the two crystals and I rubbed them together like this in a room with the camera right there, and oh my god, it was incredible what it looks like. And you get all these forms coming out, and they look like people, and they look like birds, and they look like animals. But you can only see him in super in slow motion, but everybody can see the lights coming off of it.

It's just amazing. But the forms that they make. So you're going to do that experiment? Now, are you?

Speaker 3

Yeah? Thinking about it? For sure?

Speaker 5

Yeah? I want to record wear gloves, mark me.

Speaker 3

I heard you say it a few times. You know, I think you wanted to cover yourself. Okay, I said, wear gloves. I guess before we uh, I guess before we wrap it up. I did want to ask one more thing, and unfortunately JJ's got to go. I don't know if JJ, if you want to say good bye now before I ask another question?

Speaker 6

See you, JJ, No, I really appreciate the conversation. I appreciate the time Nick, and the invite in Jen and Heidi and at least always a great time here in the Cult Rejects.

Speaker 5

Greg. I'd love to have.

Speaker 6

Another mound conversation with in the future. That'd be fantastic.

Speaker 5

Thank you so much.

Speaker 7

Love the Twitter feed for sure. I've been a big fan for years.

Speaker 5

All Right, I'll put this on Twitter when I can.

Speaker 7

Oh, nice, thank you, all right, awesome.

Speaker 3

I know we kind of mentioned it a little bit and Heidi was saying that, and I'm sure everybody here has an idea that maybe these things might be used for energy or power or something to that extent. Do you think there might be still some use to these mounds nowadays if people understood it they werefore like, do you think some of them might be still useful?

Speaker 5

Well? I do kind of. I don't teach it. I've written about how to do it, how to connect there is there are some mental things that can be done at these and I think that there's a mental connection that you can make with that. It requires you to tune yourself to the Earth's ambient electromagnetic frequency, known as the Shumann residents. The problem that we have today is that we live in an electromagnetic cesspool. We have so much electromagnetic energy that we are bombarded with that it's

really causing issues with people. There's a group of us that are in the professions healthcare professions or in that area who believe that the sudden increase in autism, the increase in ADHD, the increase in anxiety, and all the whole bunch of mental disorders are coming from electromagnetic sensitivity, which is a real condition. It's a real medical condition

that we have. That there is so much electromagnetic energy around us now that is human made that it's causing trouble for people to get connected to whatever is over there, whatever you want to call spiritual and nature or just nature itself. I don't tell I tell people that the Native Americans believed everything is spiritual, that everything has a spiritual nature to it. Beyond that, I have no explanation to it. I do know that how I contact it,

I know how other people can contact it. And you use that, you know, you try to harmonize it and so on. Some of the shaman would use it almost like Ager Casey did, to make certain kinds of predictions, or to assist the people who were making decisions in the tribe, the chiefs and the elders and so on, or to do healing. They would do healing with it. I don't pretend to do any of that, but I do tell people how to connect. But the problem is

that we live in that. We literally live in electromagnetic sss. If you look at you or how many Wi Fi connections you're getting where you are where I am here, I'm in a suburb of Memphis, Tennessee. I got like fifteen different wifis I'm connecting to. There's wires all over the place where I'm at. It's just everywhere. Cell towers are everywhere. You will notice a difference when you go out into a place where you get no cell tower connection.

You get no connection at all, and there's no electricity. A good place like this is hoven Weep in Utah, hoven weep Ruins. Go there and get down in. You got to get down into the canyon there where there's no connection. To make sure you have your cell phone off, don't have anything electrical on you, and I'll guarantee you you'll feel a bit different. And just sit there. You seek place like that. Close your eyes. Don't meditate. Meditation is a mistake. Don't meditate when you go to these places.

You want to sit there and you either listen. Just listen, that's all you have to do. It's good to keep your eyes closed at first, but listen and try to geolocate things in your mind that you're listening to and that will pop you out of your consciousness. That's a very simple way of doing it, but it's incredibly effective.

Speaker 1

We go, we go once a year up to Ogden Canyon because I live in Utah where there is no service, because the kids drive us crazy if there's service, and so they won't do anything if we can't, you know. So we go dry camping clear up where there is nothing. And I'll tell you it's every year for my birthday. Everybody knows where I'm going to be for a week, and you feel fantastic when you come back.

Speaker 5

So it changes your It changes you, I believe biologically. Now you'll readjust when you get back home. It'll go wait pretty quickly. But what we don't understand. We cannot understand what these ancient people lived in because they had no man made electromagnetic fields. At all, except when they were doing their crystal magic because that creates an electromagnetic field.

Speaker 1

Yes, well, I would love to talk to you further about the Belile Group and Armand and Steiner and all these crazy things you can't get into today, and blood blood magic and all these things about the giants. But I know if I go any further today, we'll be here and absolutely forever. But I appreciate you so much, and this has been fascinating.

Speaker 5

Yeah, well, thank you. I gave a talk at the Steiner Center in London. By the way.

Speaker 2

Oh awesome, I studyed Oh wow, clouds Steiner.

Speaker 5

Well, thank you. It's a pleasure be it here, Heidi. Been great. Maybe we'll do it again.

Speaker 3

Yes, I would love that definitely. Yes, thank you very much. Greg. That was an amazing and amazing chat for real. We definitely love our mounds over here, so you're definitely the got to talk to Oh all right, real quick, let everybody know where they can find any of your stuff that you want to promote.

Speaker 5

Please, Yeah, I don't want to promote anything. Just go on Twitter or an easy way to find me. Just then go to Google Google my full name, Gregory, put l in there it's my middle initial, Little and there it is. It's even got my curriculum vitas on there. It's somewhere on that first page. But Gregory L. Little, that's all you got to do. You'll find my Twitter there. I'm on Facebook too, but I don't do much of

Facebook is a cesspool of a different kind. But but go on, just go on Google and google my name. That's it. But whatever, if something interests you, that's fine. Most of my books you cannot buy. They're in used in psychology and criminal justice. And if you're a criminal, you probably might know my name. But if you're not, then yeah, there you out. So that's a little hint in there. So anyway, it's been a pleasure, but no, I got no website to promote nothing.

Speaker 1

Unfortunately about the books, many you can find huge copies that inmates have put up.

Speaker 5

Yeah that's funny X inmates ex criminals put it that way. Yeah, if you've been in prison, if you've been in jail for any length of time, chances are you've had one of my books, not because you bought it, but because you were forced to use it. So there you go.

Speaker 3

Well to look into this, all right, thank you?

Speaker 5

So much. There you go, all right, it's been a pleasure.

Speaker 3

Definitely, definitely all right, and uh yeah, thank you uh Lisa, thank you Jin and thank you Heidi so much for jumping on. And they're all their show notes and everything is in the bottom as well as well as I leave Greg's Twitter and maybe I'll put something else down there for sure. But that is the end of another Occult Rejects and until the next one, everybody be well later
