Summary

Chance Gardner and Vanese McNeil, producers of the legendary documentary series Magical Egypt, join the show this week.

We discuss

  • Getting history right and wrong.
  • The legacy of John Anthony West and R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz.
  • Materialism and its impact on studying history.
  • The latest series of Magical Egypt -which Gordon is in!

I mention at the outset that this episode was actually recorded six months ago. The plan was to release it at the same time as a video on hermeticism that I was going to shoot at an Ancient Egypt exhibition in Canberra (which is mentioned in my animism series). But that didn't happen, and then I thought I would do it at the Island of the Sun in Bolivia, and so on. Anyway, it's not six months later and I am choosing to blame the curse of the mummy, lol.

A super fun chat, nonetheless. And a real high point in my own life to actually be in the legendary Magical Egypt series myself.

six months ago in the height of summer and that was deliberate

solar show about how you actually kind of can make the Kibalian hermetic and

0:20.3

I was going to do that in Canberra.

0:22.6

If you've watched my Animism series, you know I went to an ancient Egypt exhibition there.

0:26.2

0:27.9

But I clung onto this idea of bringing the magical Egypt episode out at the same time as an episode about the

0:34.0

Kibalian, which I'm still going to do.

0:36.0

But summer became autumn and amusingly here I am literally in the dead of winter.

0:41.0

I just drove through the snow to get here and I guess the time is right.

0:46.9

It's it's kind of funny because maybe it's appropriate that there's like a curse of the mummy

0:54.4

about it because the episode itself was a bit cursed we had technical difficulties and had to film it over a

0:59.4

couple of days it's all edited it's all fine you won't see any that. But we had technical difficulties and then it took me six months due all is that we talk about the episode of

1:14.8

magical Egypt as if it's just come out when in fact it is already out. That's just

1:20.8

my little introduction to let you know that this episode is six months late

1:25.2

Most of that's on me not gonna lie and it doesn't really change anything except the dates of some of the stuff we were discussing. Anyway, on with the episode.

1:34.4
