Who are you?

What's your favorite topic to discuss?

Devotional polytheist living a monastic lifestyle centered on curiosity, simplicity, and joy.  Exploring the intersection of technology and spirituality.

My name is Jacob. I’m married, love cats (obv), do marketing for a living, and I enjoy talking about undiscovered ancient history. Things like gobekli tepe and whether human history is much older than we know about. Nerd shit.

The Piri Reis map is my favorite historical mystery, I love ancient civilization stuff

Ok new best friend. I am also a fan of the piri reis map. What do you think it means??

I’m in the Graham Hancock camp of ancient-civilization(s)-destroyed-by-cataclysm. Not a big believer in the ancient aliens angle.

So Antarctica was mapped by an advanced seafaring civilization way back before the continent was covered in ice. The map is a surviving copy of their work. 

What’s your view?

I’m also fascinated by the idea that there is some other technological track that we’ve just missed, like manipulating sound waves to move giant blocks of stone or liquefy and resolidify rock — explanations for pyramids in Egypt and large structures in South America respectively
