Earth Ancients chronicles the growing (and often suppressed) evidence of known and unknown civilizations, their ruined cities, and artifacts developed from advanced science and technology. Erased from the pages of time, these cultures discovered and charted the heavens, developed earth-centric sciences and unleashed advancements that parallel and, in many cases, surpass our own.

  • Used to be excellent. Now, not so sure

    This podcast used to be the highlight of my week. Learning new things about the ancient world always interested me. But now it seems Cliff has become a sales man for AI and I have been completely turned off. It just feels like the show has lost its identity and I find that a real shame. Maybe one day I’ll be back.

  • Utter Slop

    Never mind the actual content (shudder the thought). This is one of those examples of the dummest people putting on airs; forget those highly trained and experts! They’re all elitist scum anyway. No, listen to Cliff Dunny (pun intended), he’ll teach ya right (snort). And then the solid last hour of this episode is endless advertising slop and insipid CG music. I awoke from a nice dream because even my subconscious couldn’t stand to hear this fool. Skip this one, skip all of them, DO NOT BOTHER.

    Feb 4th Destiny: Michael J. Menard shoe is important for sure. Most important is to understand that there can be a reason for the suffering. I've had a lot of serious abuse in my childhood. It's given me the reason to heal by finding love and love's power. I became a physician because of it. I agree it can be very tragic growing up in neglect and abuse and it can be a gift by being the motivation to learn about love in all it's full on forms.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Special Edition: Melissa Tittl, Illusion
Q: What can viewers take away to apply in their own lives?
Viewers are encouraged to cultivate discernment, keep a symbolic journal, and practice stillness to hear what needs to come through. The film provides tools to recognize how intention and perception shape personal reality.
Special Edition: Melissa Tittl, Illusion
Q: What sparked the idea for Illusion, and how does it connect to your previous work?
The film grew from my ongoing fascination with how symbols, geometry, and consciousness interact. It builds on patterns I explored in Code 12 and connects ancient wisdom with modern physics to ask how our reality is constructed.
Victor Montejo: The Living Maya
Q: What is the core Maya cosmology you describe in Maya Log?
The world is understood as a balance among the human, the natural, and the supernatural, with ceremonies, sanctifications of land, and sacred sites reflecting this tri-logical worldview, a concept he argues is missing in much of Western archaeology.
Victor Montejo: The Living Maya
Q: How did facing discrimination shape your educational path and ultimate work?
Exile and hardship pushed him toward rigorous study in the U.S., where he pursued higher education and ultimately used his platform to advocate for Indigenous voices in scholarship, insisting on reading glyphs through a Maya-centered lens.
Victor Montejo: The Living Maya
Q: What possessed you to become an anthropologist, Victor?
He chose anthropology because it allowed him to study and interpret his own culture from an insider perspective, using the tools and theories of the field to present alternative stories rooted in Maya tradition and the Popol Vuh, rather than external stereotypes.
