Talk To An Expert

Changing the View on Human History

The Great Pyramid of Giza is not only the best known, but also the most enigmatic structure on our planet. It has been studied, measured and illustrated for more than 200 years. Yet no one can say with any certainty why it exists. Willem Witteveen joins Ancient Origins Premium in a premiere Talk to an Expert Chat to introduce a theory about its original function to demonstrate just how important the Great Pyramid is to our understanding of the modern world, widening the context in which we can now view this spectacular icon.

Its purpose was much more powerful than has previously been imagined and was closely associated with the five earthly elements, the five earthly elements responsible for creation.

Willem includes the work of great researchers like Tesla, Schauberger and Puharich.  The creation of the Great Pyramid and other pyramids was far stranger than we have considered. Thanks to Willem's latest book, the ancient knowledge contained in the Great Pyramid now enters the modern world.  This story will probably change your view on human history.

Willem Witteveen (1957) studied nautical sciences and engineering, then spent 15 years as a navigational officer on merchant vessels, followed by 25 years as a maritime pilot in the Port of Rotterdam. His background in navigational sciences, together with his worldwide travels to many different countries, inspired a lifelong interest in ancient civilisations, ancient documents and ancient writers.

Finally, back on shore, he is now a full-time researcher and is currently focused on Ancient Egypt and its corresponding connections to human history. He is author of The Great Pyramid of Giza: A Modern View on Ancient Knowledge  | willemwitteveen.com

There was no word for “religion” in Ancient Egypt. What we call religion was obviously for them a natural state, something so self-evidently human that it did not require a special word. If the Egyptians had had a word for religion it might have been ‘magick’.

In his premier Talk to an Expert Chat with Ancient Origins Premium, researcher and author Mogg Morgan joins us to speak on Magick — the international language of religion, from its origins in Egypt and Asia to its modern re-imagining.

Mogg Morgan is a respected independent scholar, former Wellcome student, and holder of an advanced degree in Oriental Studies from University of Oxford.

He is the author of several books on Egypt, specializing in folk religion, ritual calendars and the “archaeological memory” encoded in the religions of post pharaonic Egypt.  He is also an Indologist, interested in the philosophy and technology of India, especially Ayurvedic medicine, and folk magic traditions.

Akhenaten, the Heretic Pharaoh, took on the might of the priesthood of Amun-Ra; and, enforced by the military, temples were shut down, and the names of the gods were hacked out from statues and inscriptions the length and breadth of Egypt. All the gods were banned and everyone had to worship the Aten. Akhenaten and his family, more concerned about their new religion, left the empire unprotected and weakened – an ineffectual king more interested in poetry and nature rather than ruling. Statues and inscriptions depict Akhenaten and his family with long thin necks, sloping foreheads and elongated skulls, and this has led to claims that the king suffered from various disorders—or even that he was female. An ugly misshapen man struggling with his own mental and physical abnormalities. This is the story that most history books will tell you, but is it true?

Ted Loukes, independent researcher in the field of ancient civilizations, will pull back the curtain on the history of the ‘Heretic Pharoh’ in his fascinating premier Talk with an Expert chat with Ancient Origins Premium.

Ted has been on a voyage of discovery for over forty years, questioning man's origins by digging through ancient texts, inscriptions, myths and legends. He is author of the book Moses and Akhenaten: Brothers in Alms, and you can learn more at his website: TedLoukes.com

Ancient cultural influences detected at Clover Hollow in the Appalachian Mountains include strange and mystical stone alignments. Facing each other across Sinking Creek are two rock outcroppings that stand there like the piers of a gate. Carvings found on rock formations at the site seem to be very anthropomorphic in style and design, and ‘petroglyphs of the broad type,’ as an archaeologist has suggested. Could this be evidence for an ancient civilization of unknown origins deep in the Appalachian Mountains? These mountains are ten times older than for example the Andes, where numerous ancient cultures like Ollantaytambo, Saksayhuaman, and Machu Picchu, overlook a much newer Urubamba River Valley. Could it be true that one of the oldest civilizations on Earth once thrived in the Appalachian region of North America?

In his premier Talk to an Expert Chat, Ancient Origins guest author David Miller discusses the initial discovery of the Native American trail and the petroglyphs that surround it. Miller documented the initial discovery on film, and warns about a proposed pipeline and the potential disaster it would create for the site.

David Miller is author of the book The Sibold Effect: Beyond Science, History, Ghosts, and the Appalachian Supernatural, and you can find out more about the Clover Hollow discoveries in his Ancient Origins articles: “The Lost Tribe of Clover Hollow – Oldest Civilization in the World Found in Appalachian Mountains?” and “Stone Panels of Clover Hollow --Wondrous Freaks of Nature or Cryptic Messages from the Ancient Past?”
