This week's episode is a special one.I’m joined by explorer and author Matthew LaCroix, a researcher dedicated to uncovering the secrets of ancient history. With a deep passion for challenging mainstream narratives, Matt explores the lost civilisations, advanced technologies, and forgotten sites that reshape our understanding of the past.
In this episode, we dive into The Great Pyramid debate, the mysteries beneath the Sphinx, and the evidence of lost technology in ancient stonework. Matt breaks down why historical timelines may be wrong, how global floods reshaped civilisation, and what hidden tunnels beneath ancient sites could reveal. We also tackle the Anunnaki mystery, the question of human origins, and whether past civilisations had knowledge far beyond what we assume.
Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that challenges everything you thought you knew about history.
