We read some listener emails and comments, which are always great,
and discuss those. Then Russ reads an article about Alien Abduction
Insurance.
After we laugh about that, Russ reads an article from the excellent
website ancient-origins.net, about enormous ancient stone
mesoamerican sculptures that have areas of anomalous magnetism
embedded in them, and we talk about how the standard model picture
of ancient civilizations, with no access to iron, would have no way
of figuring out there was magnetism in the stone.... so how did
they know it was there?
Kyle talks about the diagrams of ancient mounds and geoglyphs, and
how they seem to be attempting to "square the circle" in some of
these structures. We also speculate on what it would be like for
ancient people to have tried to comprehend the night sky, and what
things they may have noticed without all the modern understanding
about stars and planets getting in the way.
