Peter Chesbrough joins us to discuss his research into the pervasive legends of King Arthur. Is this person a true historical figure? What is the basis for the myths and stories? It is a complex and interesting subject, and Peter delivers on both primary sources and in explaining the cultural and political context in which many of the Arthurian legends are based.

Kyle delivers his latest presentation on Gobekli Tepe and the wider "Tas Tepeler Civilization" topic. How far back do these ancient megaliths really go? The evidence we have cannot actually tell us, because all of the dating is based on the material found around the megaliths. And is there a connection between the people who inhabited these t-pillar sites and the area of Giza in Egypt?

Filipo Biondi and Armando Mei are the Italian scientists heading the project to scan the Giza Plateau with satellite-borne Scanning Aperture Radar(SAR). In this interview we discuss the technical aspects of the technology in an attempt to get a basic grasp of how it works. We also discuss the history of the technology, including the epxperiments and testing it underwent before being used at Giza. We also talking about the Giza findings themselves, what the confidence level is for the depictions of the underground structures, and what they might be.

Thanks to George and Steph of the Cosmic Summit for helping us arrange this interview!

We return from the New York trip to floods and devastation very close to us. We Bring Dozer Dan on in the first part of the episode to talk about the destructiojn he witnessed first-hand. We also show some maps of the watersheds so people can understand a bit more about how this happened and why.

After that we discuss the New York event and the trip to Boston. Many ancient Egyptian artifacts were scanned in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and we had a great time with the attendees of the "Evening at the Explorer's Club" event.

We finish by discussing where our minds are at regarding ancient mysteries - there are plenty of mysteries still to explore!
