Description
Matthew LaCroix joins comedian Sam Tripoli on the Tin Foil Hat podcast to make the case that a lost civilization came before the accepted timeline of history, and that the cultures that came later built
on its sites and were given the credit. LaCroix walks through the 1931 Penn Museum excavation at Shuruppak, the city of the flood hero Ziusudra, and what he calls the Shuruppak paradox: a city found below the Uruk layer and yet dated younger. He reads the Gilgamesh tablets on the me, which he calls the divine laws of heaven and earth, argues that the flood was regional rather than global, and follows it to Ararat and the Van region of eastern Turkey.
From there the conversation turns to the sites of Van: the basalt T-pillars of Çavuştepe, the andesite walls of Ayanis, the Kef Kalesi relief he believes is the most important artifact in the world, and the underwater ruins of Lake Van. LaCroix then traces one set of symbols, the step pyramid, the three doors and the T, through Peru, Bolivia, Cambodia and India to Giza, where he believes the same design is built into the Sphinx Temple, the Valley Temple and all three Great Pyramids. He closes on
the word he says unlocks it: cosmograms.
