Ep. 1 - Cassie Coppersmith - Egypt, Peru and Cambodia Are the Ruins of One Lost Global Civilization

This is the first episode of the Lost Civilizations Podcast. Matthew LaCroix sits down with  @CassieCoppersmith  to lay out the evidence that the accepted 6,500 year timeline of civilization is not the beginning of the story. Both of them have stood on these stones.In this episode:- The lathe-cut pillars in India that archaeologists admit are lathe-cut, then attribute to animal power- Why a geologist needed five minutes at the Sphinx to see what the archaeologists missed for decades- The two signatures, and the question nobody answers: would a civilization start with perfect stonework and then move to mud brick?- The underwater ruins in Lake Van, discovered in 2017, the deepest confirmed megalithic ruins on Earth, and why the experts had no idea where to put them- The Eridu Genesis tablet in the Penn Museum and the flood story of Ziusudra- A 150-ton granite box in a chamber whose entrance is too small for it- Gobekli Tepe, Sacsayhuaman, Puma Punku, Easter Island, Hampi, Angkor, Ayanis- Why the sites were built where they were builtMatt has spent two and a half years on a funded expedition with a team of archaeologists and geologist Robert Schoch, filmed in seven countries, centred on the Lake Van region of eastern Turkey. Cassie left a career in gold mining to walk the sites herself, from Egypt to Peru to Malta, and now hosts Secrets in Stone. @CassieCoppersmith  Secrets in Stone: https://www.youtube.com/@CassieCoppersmith/videosChapters00:00 Introduction to the mysteries of ancient civilizations00:14 Introduction to Ancient Mysteries and Modern Discoveries01:58 Evidence of ancient machining and out-of-place artifacts02:29 The Signature Signatures Found in Stonework Worldwide03:54 The purpose and signatures of ancient stonework04:53 Heat and Shaping Techniques in Ancient Construction05:52 The challenge to mainstream archaeological timelines08:03 Interdisciplinary approaches to uncovering lost history08:31 The Significance of Mineral Composition in Stonework09:49 The significance of sacred sites and their placement12:13 The impact of scientific silos on archaeological understanding12:33 The Enigma of the Serapium and Massive Granite Blocks14:02 Case studies: Puma Punku, Gobekli Tepe, and the Sphinx15:47 Connections Between Cultures Through Stone Signatures16:13 The deeper knowledge systems of ancient cultures17:57 The importance of open-minded exploration in archaeology20:03 The future of uncovering our true ancient history20:15 Underwater Ruins and the Lake Vaughan Discoveries24:53 Technologies Uncovering Hidden Ancient Sites29:50 The Dating of Ancient Artifacts and Its Challenges35:21 The Future of Archaeology and Human History40:11 Philosophical Reflections on Our Lost Past
