We start this episode off with a few interesting news items that lead to another short discussion about the Elastic Universe Hypothesis and how it might be tested via an interesting anomaly that happens only beneath a full solar eclipse. And also how archaeologists are dumb because for like a hundred years they've been trying to study ancient astronomical observatories
during the daytime.
We then move on to the subject of the Black Knight Satellite at the request of a listener(thanks J), which means we get into Long Delay Echoes, ancient space probes, Phillip K. Dick and V.A.L.I.S.
After that, we talk about a strange correlation between gigantic pyramids in Mexico, China, and Indonesia, then finish up with a brief discussion of a very mysterious place in China known as the Longyou Grottoes.

This map does not include comets. We're all gonna die. |
 |
| Teotihuacan |
 |
| It's pretty big.....I guess |
 |
| Why was this place encased in Mica?? |
 |
| Volcanic mountain near Teotihuacan |
 |
| Pyramids in China |
 |
| They refer to them as "mausoleums" |
 |
| They're totally not pyramids. See the trees? Hills. Just hills. |
 |
| Pyramid of the first Chinese emperor. The Terracotta warriors are nearby. |
 |
| The top of Gunung Padang in Indonesia |
 |
| The top level was made using basalt columns that form naturally when lava hits seawater |
 |
| The top level is about 2500 years old. The lowest levels are 30,000 years old. |
 |
| The Terracotta Warriors |
 |
| This is just a few of them....there are over 6,000 in total, plus horses |
 |
| That's a lotta clay mmkay |
 |
| Note each has very unique individual features |
 |
| One of the Longyou Grottoes. The light is coming through an opening that was the original pool on the surface |
 |
| Who did this? Where did all the rock go? Where are the fish? |
 |
| That would seem like a "bottomless" pool |
 |
| Note the extremely uniform marks on the walls |
 |
| Each grotto is many levels deep |
 |
| The rooms are cavernous and huge |
 |
| A close-up of the marks on the walls. Toothpicks and dedication? Or advanced machinery? |
