Join Scottish historian Ashley Cowie and Ancient Origins Premium to examine a curious OOPArt (Out of Place Artifact) known as the Genetic Disk.
In 1964, an ancient stone disk with symbols depicting the genetic development of sperm and eggs, to embryo and child was unearthed near Bogota, Colombia and has been dated to 11,000 BP. Microscopes and genetic research have only been around for two or three hundred years so the disk is a real historical paradox.
To many, the disk is evidence of pre-Adamic civilization in South America, descendants from Atlantis, and it is often used to directly challenge the mainstream account of human history. Meeting and investigating the people and events surrounding the discovery, with help from scientists and specialist archaeologists, Ashley systematically explores the legacy of the Genetic Disc.
