Talk To An Expert

You are invited on a journey to our distant past.

A time of myth. An age of heroes. When demigods battled monsters of legend. But how much of it was legend?

Author and researcher Petros Koutoupis joins AO Premium for his premiere Talk to an Expert Chat, and will look at ancient mythology, and ancient truths.

More specifically, were Homer’s Odyssey and Virgil’s Aeneid inspired by true events? Is there a historical record of such adventurous seafaring occurring from the time of the end of the Trojan War? What do we know about the authors of these epics and the rest of the Trojan Cycle and how have the stories evolved with each telling?

What hidden wisdom is preserved in these narratives?

Petros Koutoupis is an author and an independent historical researcher, focusing predominantly on the Late Bronze and Early Iron Age periods of the Eastern Mediterranean and general Near East. Fluent in modern Greek, Petros has additional knowledge in languages that include ancient and Biblical Greek, Biblical Hebrew, and a good fundamental understanding of Aramaic, Ugaritic, Phoenician, and Akkadian. He has always relied on the original sources for interpreting some of our most misunderstood historical and mythological texts.

Join author and researcher Paul Devereux in a journey across many parts of the Ancient Americas that he has studied. In this AO Premium Talk to an Expert Chat, Paul will show us mysterious landscape markings and features (some rarely photographed previously) left by ancient Native American shamans. We will see highly secret and very mysterious features in the wilderness of Death Valley, strange boulder patterns (“petroforms”) in Manitoba that are still venerated by First Nations people, giant ground effigies (“geoglyphs”) on an ancient Yuman Indian pilgrimage trail in the Colorado River Valley, old Native American vision quest sites, 300ft-long earthen effigies of Plains Indian shamans, mystery ‘roads’ and curious desert lines left by long-ago shamans and ritualists, and more.

These features raise many questions (and you may ask them!) and Paul will say what is currently known about them.

Paul Devereux BA, FRSA, is one of the pioneers of what used to be called ‘earth mysteries’, a field that later morphed into ‘ancient mysteries’ and other terminology, having worked in the subject area for over four decades. Paul has authored 27 books and has written many dozens of articles for both popular and academic publications.  His main areas of research interest and involvement include multi-perspective studies of ancient sacred places and landscapes, the exploration of sound at archaeological sites (‘archaeoacoustics’), unexplained aerial phenomena (which he terms ‘earth lights’), the use of altered mind states by ancient peoples, along with general consciousness studies (including a major program of dreamwork at ancient sites).

For centuries, historians have based their theory that Columbus was born in Genoa from a statement in his Last Will that reads, “being I born in Genoa…” However, this document is a forgery created some 80 years after Columbus died!

Come learn:

• Why was this false Last Will of 1498 created?
• Who was responsible for the fraud?
• How did the Spanish Tribunal react to its presentation in court?

And discovery why historians still cling to this fraudulent piece of Columbus history.

Across the Ohio Valley landscape are the ruins of ancient burial mounds and geometric earthworks aligned to solar, lunar and astrological events. Within many of the burial mounds were the skeletal remains of an ancient race of giants with primitive-looking skulls. The geometric earthworks reveal that complex mathematics were used in their construction. The solar temples, best described as henges, are identical to those found in the British Isles and Germany that were constructed by the Beaker People. Their conical burial mounds, like those in Ohio, were surrounded by an earthwork or moat.

Their skeletons were also equally tall with the same primitive countenance. Is there a connection?

In this intriguing Talk to an Expert chat with AO Premium, author and researcher Fritz Zimmerman will compare burial mound types, earthworks and skulls from the British Isles and the Ohio Valley.  Also, Early and Middle Age Bronze weapons technology from Mesopotamia and the Great Lakes Copper Culture will be examined and compared showing similar and simultaneous advancements. A numerical codex called Gematria is also evident within the lengths of many of the Ohio works that is not believed to be a serendipitous coincidence.

Fritz will also highlight some of largest burial mounds and earthworks in the Ohio Valley that have been listed as "Address Restricted" by archaeologists.  This veil of secrecy has been removed in his "Travel Guide," making the location of these ancient sites public for the first time.

Fritz Zimmerman is the author of "The Nephilim Chronicles: Fallen Angels in the Ohio Valley" Ten years of fieldwork exploring over 700 mound and earthwork sites in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Michigan, resulting in the discovery of 222 locations where these ancient ruins can be visited.  Many of these sites were photographed for the first time that includes directions to this heretofore unknown ancient world, and published in "The Nephilim Chronicles: A Travel Guide to the Ancient Ruins in the Ohio Valley”.  The latest book has 888 accounts of giant skeletons in "The Encyclopedia of Ancient Giants in North America."
