This is obviously a hoax or some kind of avantgarde art project. Of course it´s not ancient aliens. Why? Because the "carvings" look exactly how ancient aliens are supposed to look like *according to the expectations of current (mostly American) pop culture*. What are the chances?
Even Dan Dedunking doesn´t seem to believe in these "artifacts". Yes, we´re talking about the guy who thinks Easter Island is Atlantis! I mean, dude.
The title of this video is evidently click bait, since the "anti-Hindu temple" or "Hindu anti-temple" is really a medieval royal cremation ground in Cambodia. It´s popularly known as the Terrace of the Leper King.
The content-creator ("Ancient Aliens" personality Praveen Mohan) treats it as Hindu, but according to all-knowing Wikipedia and ChatGPT, the site is Buddhist but with Hindu admixture. Hardly surprising in a syncretic religious environment. Besides, Buddhism took over much of the South Asian ("Hindu") cosmology.
For a moment, I assumed Mohan had come across some kind of truly demonic super-Tantra stuff, but naaah, apparently not.
"Nah, this isn´t the real Jagannath, must be some heretix who disappeared after the Great Disclosure of 2026."
"Dude."
Great Tartaria and the Mud Flood is one of the silliest conspiracy theories on-line, at least in its current iteration. The whole thing looks like a conscious parody of Erich von Däniken. Maybe it *is* a next level LARP?
Däniken pointed to various ancient monuments *outside Europe* and wondered who could have built them. Aliens, maybe? The people who believe (or pretend to believe) in the Mud Flood point to modern Western architecture (sometimes as recent as the early or mid 20th century) and gasp in wonder. "Surely, only Giants could have built this?!" There is apparently a video on-line called "Tartarian Wales", which claims that the Cardiff Central Station must be the remnants of an unknown but very advanced civilization!
At the same time, there is *something* fascinating even about this utter insanity. It could be seen as a strange metaphor for the decline of modern civilization. The idea seems to be that we´re not smart enough to have built all the large buildings around us, and simply moved in when the original creators (the Giants) were wiped out in a mysterious cataclysm. Obviously, we have to deny this, claiming *we* built everything. Our entire civilization is really primitive and built on a gigantic lie - and we´re all in on it.
This is a *very* distorted picture of the true state of affairs, isn´t it? Indeed, in 200 years, maybe something like this will be un-ironic orthodoxy among the few remaining savages...
Overheard on the interweb: "Tartaria: When modern life has black-pilled you so much that you start seeing cool architecture as wonders of a lost civilization."
An AI-generated (?) song inspired by "Ancient Aliens". Not very good, but I couldn´t avoid noting the name of the "performer": Iris Binary. It´s some kind of AI-related technical term, but it sounds a bit edgy. Binary as opposed to...non-binary? Paradigm shift ahead, maybe?
Hmmm....
This guy was wrong about Göbekli Tepe and the Eye of Sahara, so is he wrong here, too? Awaiting the next debunk. Maybe.
So what is Aaron Abke doing these days? I remember when he promoted ACIM and Law of One. Today, he is more into "Essene Christianity", which seems to be a modernized version of ancient Jewish Christianity. In this long video, Abke and two associates discuss their main doctrines, which they half-jokingly dub "heresies".
One central idea is that Jesus was an Essene, and that the Essenes were vegetarians. Jesus preached salvation through the Golden Rule (which included no killing or eating of animals) and didn´t see himself as ontologically "God". The Christology seems to be adoptionist. Jesus´ blood brother James was his true successor, not Peter and absolutely not Paul, whose message of atonement through the salvific death of Christ was a gross distortion of the original Jesus Way. Paul got his "gospel" from highly dubious visions and "revelations", not from Jesus or his true disciples.
The true Christians were the Ebionites, the Nazarenes and other Jewish Christian sects, which were persecuted by the emergent Catholic Church. Abke and his friends reference the "Hebrew Gospel of Matthew" and the Pseudo-Clementines, while arguing that the Bible contains numerous errors. Interestingly, they also try to argue their case in a scholarly way by referencing James Tabor (who actually appeared on Abke´s pod cast). Here and there, some *truly* heretical ideas shine through, such as a belief in reincarnation, a strong skepticism towards the Old Testament, and Law of One terminology.
One thing that struck me when watching this video is that the "Jesus Way" - despite its seemingly "liberal" theology - is actually harder in some ways than mainstream Christianity (or Churchianity). For instance, the idea that salvation comes strictly through works, that the Ten Commandments must be followed rigorously, and that vegetarianism is an absolutely central rule. The fact that Jesus and the Christians were persecuted is strongly emphasized, the persecution being the work of both the Romans, the Jewish elite, and (later) the Catholic Church (which persecuted the Jewish Christians). In many ways, the Jesus Way comes across as a rigorist sect. Their alternative to "Pauline" Christianity seems...extreme. Not sure if I would like to join!
That being said, the video is nevertheless interesting in many ways. Perhaps recommended.
Trump signed a new law legalizing research into psychedelic drugs for medical purposes to help war veterans. Both RFK Jr and Joe Rogan were there. Kind of ironic that it happens now. For a number of reasons...
This guy (the Urantia Book rocker) is still just as optimistic about UFO disclosure. He believes that there is a special kind of aliens already living on Earth, known as "Midway Creatures". They seem to be similar to guardian angels or spirit-beings in other religious systems. Maybe they are real, who knows, but the idea that the US government (or any government) knowing anything important about the situation is far fetched. And even Jay sometimes concedes this, but still hopes that Trump or somebody else will tell us about it.

Denying the Moon landing must be the most "Boomer" thing ever. I mean, dude, come on. What year is it? 1971? When the Hare Krishna were still edgy??? What´s up next? The face on Mars? Däniken´s musings on Mayan astronauts? Even flat earthism feels old and almost establishment these days, and that stuff didn´t really take off until about ten years ago.
But perhaps I shouldn´t say anything, since I think/hope there might be *something* (anything) to the UFO phenomenon. That started before the Boomers were even born...
We´re all getting older.
LOL. Nothing will come out of this, methinks, but I suppose it could be entertaining distraction if it ever will...
Thomas Sheridan discusses "Cyclonopedia" again. As I pointed out before, this book seems to be part of a postmodernist milieu also encompassing "New Materialists" and such. I checked them out years ago, and was stunned to find that they were animists or animatists rather than materialists. "New" materialism indeed!
The idea in this particular piece of theory-fiction (at least as interpreted by Sheridan) is that oil is sentient and really a kind of god or rather demon, a Lovecraftian entity if you wish. It´s jealous of the Sun (the "real" divinity) and wants to control humanity, which it does through the Abrahamic religions. While the poor author of "Cyclonopedia", Reza Nagarestani, may have meant the book metaphorically (but who knows), our man Sheridan insists that it´s literally true. The supernatural is real, deal with it!
This is just the first part of Sheridan´s presentation, but I previously linked to a conversation with ChatGPT in which he proposed that the Petro-Demon is migrating and trying to take over AI (including ChatGPT). Here is that link again:
So I asked ChatGPT if it´s a demon
Make of all this whatever you see fit.
A long interview / conversation with Graham Hancock. It´s from late 2024, but somehow I managed to miss it until now. It does contain some surprising information. For instance, Hancock talks about his life before becoming interested in Atlantis and the Lost Civilization. He also reveals that he and his wife Santha had dinner with Zahi Hawass?! Oookay...
Most of the interview deals with topics which will be familiar to Hancock fans (or opponents, for that matter): the Ark of the Covenant in Ethiopia, Alternative Egypt, and the connection between spirituality and psychedelic drugs. And yes, he also discusses UFOs and aliens at one point.
Actually a quite good summary of Hancock´s speculations. For the record, I´m skeptical to the brick-and-mortar Lost Civilization claims, but more open to the idea that alternate states of consciousness gives us a sneak peak into the Otherworld...

We´re still here, fam. What did I tell ya? Those addicted to "doom porn" will find some new stuff to consume later this week, just wait. For starters, what happened to 3I/ATLAS???
The episodes of this bizarre series have titles like "Portal to the Underworld", "Reptoids of Lassen Park" and "Demonic Dominion" (the latter not linked here). And no, it´s not a documentary about current American politics, LOL. I actually watched this series perhaps ten years ago, when it was called "Mysteries at the National Parks". It seems to have been retitled "National Park Secrets and Legends" (at least sometimes).
Weirdly, I don´t remember how *scary* this series actually is. Or have I just become more paranoid lately? (Any connection to US politics?) It could easily be turned into a "real" horror flick!
Even if taken at face value, many of the incidents could (perhaps) be given natural explanations. Maybe something in the forests make people hallucinate? We´re talking EM effects, volcanic vapor, that kind of stuff. Note also that some of the eye witnesses are self-proclaimed paranormal researchers. Others are Native elders or New Age seekers. Perhaps they are "primed" to have strange experiences? But sure, there is a much simpler hypothesis: ghosts, aliens and unruly spirits are real...
This aint no country for White men. Or any men for that matter.
