Before we even start the podcast rest in peace John Anthony West. He died yesterday. One of the coolest guys ever. One of my favorite people that

ever got on the podcast. The first and only full guest that I've ever done on Skype.

The only reason why I did it on Skype is because he wasn't

feeling well and he couldn't fly to California. So I said, this guy is so important. I generally

like to have conversations with people when they're in the room. I think they go more friendly and they're smoother that way. You can work through any bumps easier that way.

You feel better. It feels like it's real. I mean, but he was so important to me. I would have fucking taken a raven note.

If you've never seen the DVD series Magical Egypt,

it's truly an amazing piece of work. It's I think six DVDs all about the history of

Egypt and the immense complexity of the structures that are built there.

The appreciation this guy had for what the Egyptians did was just off the charts.

He was in just so deeply engaged with it he was such a giant part of

his life and the passion and the curiosity that he had and the knowledge that he had in these

DVDs would come through and you would just be like holding your face watching

him going oh my God these are amazing just a what a crazy time in human history. This weird blip in the middle of North Africa

where these people just went way past everybody else just way past and they did it for a long time man

They did it in this one spot for who knows how long.

That's right.

There was thousands and thousands of years.

And Graham Hancock and John Anthony West

are the people that are really at the front of the line in terms of the public eye of

pushing the timeline back and there's real evidence for it.
