Ep 29Episode #029: Anti-Memes, Cognitohazards, and... something

E

We start the first episode of 2018 with a great discussion about......about, umm.....wha.....? Well we intended to discuss the concept of anti-memes but....hmmm. Anyway, we talk about the universal and cosmological "twin" concept, also called symmetry, and how this concept seems to extend far back into the depths of prehistory by way of a curious twin mythology. Kyle brings up the beneficial mental aspects of turning off the constant input and "unplugging", as it were, in order to process everything that has been learned and also to take some time for some self improvement mind-hacking goodness. We finish this...oddly short episode....with a brief examination of the recently released UFO footage from the Pentagon and then a discussion of the inherently primitive "Lord of the Flies" culture caused by huge public schools. We kinda feel like we forgot something...? But whatever. Enjoy the show.

Ep 28Episode #028: Velikovsky, Fossil Plesiosaur Selfies

E

We start out with the latest news on the ScanPyramids project, which is that there is no news. Then we discuss some crazy geology and paleontology factology because Russ is reading Velikovsky's Earth in Upheaval and it's blowing his mind. We're talking islands made entirely of mammoth bones and hippo teeth and glacial erratics so big people accidentally built villages on them. In the second half of the show we discuss a topic that has become a permanent SnakeBro favorite: weird giant triangles. In this case the giant triangle is the Bermuda Triangle, so we discuss the nature of the disappearances and outline a few specific cases, then go into the many theories about the possible causes, and Kyle demonstrates his skerptard skills by skerpderping them all(after which he announces he might be "going profesh"). One of the theories involves pyramids from Atlantis, still activating on occaision from the ocean depths and disappearing everything in sight. So basically a giant weird triangle caused by giant weird triangles. Plus there's fossil Kracken Plesiosaur Selfies in Australia and a bunch of bad dad jokes.

Ep 27Episode #027: The Melba Ketchum Paper, ScanPyramids

E

The Official Show Observer, the honorable and venerated Mr. Brett England, is in studio with us for this episode, here to offer his assessment of the work of Dr. Melba Ketchum and her team in DNA sequencing of possible Sasquatch hair and skin samples. Mr. England has relevant education and thus delivers what is most likely the only competent opinion on this work that has been delivered to the paranormal and podcasting communities(all other opinions having come from know-nothing Skerptards). Aside from that, we discuss the ScanPyramids Project and the possibility of a huge unknown chamber in the GP, Kyle's trip to Italy and the ancient Egyptian artifacts he saw there, and we finish out the show with a few excellent OOPArts.

Ep 25Episode #025: Sometimes, the Giants are Real

E

We start this episode discussing how modern sports teams can generate a sense of community and commonality in their home cities, creating a situation similar to the ancient "city-states" of Sumer, Akkad, Assyria, etc. We briefly discuss the ongoing project to propose methods for encoding our modern civilization's knowledge into oral traditions, complete with an entertaining exoteric theme which conceals esoteric symbolism which encodes the knowledge. For the rest of the show, we talk about NEPHAS. (aka Giants) Because Russ has been reading Jim Vieira's book, Giants on Record. Sometimes, the Giants are real. We need to get our hands on this KMZ file. This lists many of the sites where giant remains(7+ ft in height or more) were reportedly found.

Ep 23Episode #023: The Ancient Quest for Immortality

E

"C'mon you apes! You wanta live forever?" -Unknown platoon sergeant, 1918 We discuss life expectancy, from the microbiological causes of aging to theoretical possibilities of physical immortality, and the intriguing fact that many ancient civilizations recorded extraordinary long lives of remote ancestors. We discuss the suppression of scientific knowledge that goes counter to contemporary scientific theory, and the fallacy of the concept of "indigenous", and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember right now but was all very interesting. Here, have some dolmens:

Ep 21Episode #021: Eclipse Apocalypse Pendulum Conundrum 411

E

On this post-eclipse pre-apocalypse episode we start out by speculating that the Solar Eclipse that just passed across the U.S. is the reason for the sudden macrosizing of Hurricane Harvey, which went on to drown large areas of Texas beneath immense floods of water and, for a brief time, turning the area back into something resembling the "late cretaceous inland sea" that supposedly covered the area. So we here at the SnakeBros compound decided it was time to get out the buttflaps and party like it's 70,000,000 B.C. (±1,200,000y adj). We discuss the Foucault Pendulum Anomaly, where pendulums act very strangely beneath full solar eclipses, implying something is very wrong with Standard Model physics and the way it views gravity and mass and the interaction between them. For the last part of the show, we give an overview of the Missing 411 mystery, followed by several actual accounts of the missing persons.

Ep 20Episode #020: Do you even Pyramid bro?

E

We start the show talking about how, in this day and age, there are actually still people out there who do not spend an appreciable amount of time thinking about Pyramids. I mean, it's 2017! How are there even people out there who don't think about Pyramids?? Can we get with the program here, on the right side of history please?? Well, we can say for certain that we don't know anyone who doesn't think about pyramids. We don't even talk to people like that. As if. So we do a lot of thinking and talking about pyramids on this episode. We believe pyramids. The pyramids are settled. Build pyramids, not bridges. Questioning the Theory of Pyramids is like questioning the Theory of Gravity. If you do, you'll just die tired.

Aug 27, 20172h 21m

Ep 19Episode #019: Connecting the Dots, Comparative Mythology

E

In this episode we discuss how many of the most mysterious ancient sites are connected to each other through sometimes obvious, sometimes subtle, stylistic similarities, and how this fits with the growing picture of ancient history as defined by pulling together ancient texts and myths from all over the world. Bananas continue to not be discussed at all.

Aug 20, 20172h 8m

Ep 18Episode #018: Skerptards gonna Skerpderp

E

In this episode we spend a lot of time on the subject of modern so-called "skeptics"(AKA skerptards AKA skerpderpers AKA losers), the concept of "debunking" vs actually disproving or falsification, and the myriad ways that the modern "skeptic" movement is deeply deceptive in their methods and tactics. We also discuss and give examples of how the scientific community in many respects has also engaged in widespread acts of deception both large and small, and how "alternative" or "fringe" or "paranormal" researchers often have some of the most solid, well-supported evidence and arguments because of the constant attacks on their work by the mainstream, which looks for any possible way to discredit even if it is deeply disingenuous and/or fallacious. Since the mainstream does not even come close to holding itself to similar standards, much of it's work has later been shown to fall apart when attempts to recreate it are undertaken. So basically what we're saying is, Nephas 1, Losers 0.

Ep 17Episode #017: Mysteries of the Maps, the Holy Grail

E

We explore the strange and interesting Mystery of the Maps; Portolano Projection maps made during the 15th and 16th century that appear to contain information incongruous with the state of cartographic and navigational knowledge and ability at the time. We explain "the problem of Longitude" which wasn't overcome until the late 1800s, yet there exist many 16th and 17th century maps with areas of very precise longitude, better than anything we could do up to as recently as the 1950s. We also outline the work of Dr. Charles Hapgood, who studied many of these maps currently housed in the Congressional Library, who went on to publish a book called "Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings" We also delve into the original Grail legend, wandering the vast and intimidating labyrinth of Grail Lore and esoterica, until eventually we surprise everyone(ourselves included) by emerging into the light on the other side with a possible solution to this age-old mystery.

Ep 16Episode #016: Ancient Aliens and Lost Civilizations

E

In this episode we start out with a strange news item about alien/reptilian looking mummified bodies found in Peru, then from there we move on to the Ancient Alien hypothesis vs the Ancient Advanced Civilization hypothesis, consciousness and quantum mechanics, cryogenics and AI, life, the universe, and everything.

Jul 20, 20172h 23m

Ep 15Episode #015: The Greatest Man Alive and Electricity

E

In this episode we have a guest, Archer Finley aka GMA(Greatest Man Alive), close friend and SnakeBro who has a degree in Electrical Engineering. So we spend most of the episode asking him questions about electricity and totally not understanding the answers. We also ask his opinion on whether ancient civilizations could have had some understanding of electrical forces. We talk about telluric currents, the Shuttle Tether mission(which was STS 75, not STS 80 as Russ said on the show), Nikola Tesla, and more. One of the strange objects that drifted past during the tether video, which is linked below Huge anomalous sunspot A couple of examples of earthquake lights

Jul 17, 20172h 8m

Ep 14Episode #014: Elastic Universe Hypothesis and the Black Knight Satellite

E

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. Gravitic Lensing (theoretically) caused by the gravity of a galaxy cluster in the foreground, warping the light of galaxies behind it into circular arcs(btw the very bright object on the upper right is a star in our own galaxy) Graph of LDEs Epsilon Bootes constellation Some believe this photo taken from the space shuttle captured the elusive Black Knight NASA map of PHAs(Potentially Hazardous Asteroids) 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? SnakeBros

Ep 13Episode #013: The Cake is a Pi

E

==----------WARNING---------== There are aspects of this episode that do not correlate to anything "tangible" or "real", and instead seem to take 90 degree turns in directions that do not actually exist, then head off into impossible infinities only to discover god and/or aliens sitting out there calculating the digits of cake(the cake is a pi). This material requires a minimum of a Level 2.0 non-Tangetard brain and is NSFS(Not Safe For Skerptards). There's not much more that can be said about the discussion in this episode; mostly because we don't really understand what we were talking about. Waves and pyramids. Cake and Pi. Snakes and bros. It all fits. We think. But seriously, just keep in mind that there are pics down below that may help you in continuing to not understand wtf we're talking about. Just remember that all we're really saying is 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884 1971693993751058209749445923078164062 8620899862803482534211706798214808651 3282306647093844609550582231725359408 1284811174502841027019385211055596446 2294895493038196442881097566593344612 8475648233786783165271201909145648566 9234603486104543266482133936072602491 4127372458700660631558817488152092096 2829254091715364367892590360011330530 5488204665213841469519415116094330572 7036575959195309218611738193261179310 5118548074462379962749567351885752724 8912279381830119491298336733624406566 4308602139494639522473719070217986094 3702770539217176293176752384674818467 6694051320005681271452635608277857713 4275778960917363717872146844090122495 3430146549585371050792279689258923542 0199561121290219608640344181598136297 7477130996051870721134999999837297804 9951059731732816096318595024459455346 9083026425223082533446850352619311881 7101000313783875288658753320838142061 7177669147303598253490428755468731159 5628638823537875937519577818577805321 7122680661300192787661119590921642019 8 therefore pyramids.

Ep 12Episode #012: Roadtrip to Volcano, Hearing Light and Seeing Sound

E

We start this episode with a recount of a daytrip we took to a nearby extinct volcano that we totally did not know was there even though we've lived here for decades. Usually volcanoes are pretty noticable because mountain, but this volcano is eroded flat, nothing but a small knob of igneous material remains where the volcano once stood. Still, we were excited to see it and do some geololololology. Turns out it is entirely on private property. So we still haven't seen it. Instead, we went to McKinney Falls nearby, where we discovered an ancient dry-laid stone wall that bisected the park going directly east-west, atop a massive tounge of catastrophically deposited limestone(that in turn rested atop igneous materials, probably deposited by eruptions of the elusive mountainless volcano). Plus, evidence of massive flooding, giant oyster fossils, and creature shadows trapped in clay. Then we got eaten by fish and started a microcult. For the rest of the show, we discuss how to hear light and see sound, the almost total rejection of Russ' Yellowstone SuperColliding SuperVolcano Hypothesis by mainstream science, the complete rejection of Russ' Lithophonic Longhouses Low-hanging-fruit hypothesis by mainstream science, and how a steel drum is like an obelisk, but with dents. Geological Cross Section of Pilot Knob, the extinct volcano we couldn't find Strange stuff in the igneous boulders we found, these look like.... veins?? Yep. Those look like veins. Note relative-size quarter for scale. Looks like... a tiny footprint.... with teeth stuck in it?? Right after taking this pic, we found an abandoned shoe, so we noped outta there The limestone shows signs of enduring severe erosional flooding at several bottleneck areas at McKinney Falls Erosion damage is clear from overhead images; note the widespread occurrence of "potholes", holes drilled into the stone by whirlpools in torrential floods Screenshot from a video taken in Williams Creek at the back of McKinney Falls park. Williams Creek: The odd layer of gray-blue clay can be clearly seen on the left STEP BACK FROM THE EDGE, TREE!! YOU HAVE TOO MUCH TO LIVE FOR Everything above the gray layer is river sediment deposit: a mix of limestone, caliche, flint, and lots of small rounded stones....river gravel There is naught left of them but Shadows.....SHADOWS IN THE CLAY Weird semi-spiraling bivalve / cephalopods ?? Beneath the limestone characteristic of McKinney Falls, we discovered evidence of volcanism....pyroclastic deposit layers Closeup of pyroclastic layers hidden beneath the limestone, note the crystalline structures Some of the layers have a strange latticework structure Graph of human hearing frequency range. Below the wavy line, the sounds are too quiet for us to hear them, above the line are audible sounds. The human visual spectrum and where it lies on the full range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Harmonics. Just picture these as guitar strings. The first one at the top shows the guitar string vibrating all across its length, making the Fundamental note. The next one has been touched lightly in the middle, splitting the vibration in half and silencing the fundamental, bringing out the harmonic. The next has been touched at the 1/3 spot, and so on. This is an absolutely awful image depicting how redshift/blueshift works. Sky view of Malta temples, which are very organic looking, everything is round, no sharp corners anywhere. Malta temple megaliths. Uncut, unworked, unfinished, yet stacked and arranged so skillfully that they still stand, 7,000 years later Interior of one of the Maltese temples. Note the doorway on the right... all temple doors in Malta are made this way, as a hole cut through a large stone, rather than a more conventional approach with just two supports holding up a lintel stone. Haven't the faintest idea why. Interior shots of the Hypogeum on Malta Hauntingly beautiful. Why did they build it? Who built it? Looking through another round dooway piercing a stone slab in the Hypogeum. Remember that every room in this place was found 2/3rds filled with rubble and soil that had no stratigraphy(was not layered, implying it all was deposited at once), and scattered throughout the soil were the bones of upwards of 7,000 people, all of whom had anomalous elongated skulls. Interior diagram of the Pyramid of Khufu/Cheops(The Great Pyramid), to show how far away the subterranean chamber is from the King's Chamber 3D diagram of the Great Pyramid. Because why not. The Ringing Rocks of Ringing Rocks Park. Note how tightly clustered they are.... trees don't even grow between them The infamous, slightly foreboding Black Mountain Slopes of Black Mountain, which is obviously not a mountain but an enormous pile of granite boulders that are so similar in size they look like gravel. This is just incredibly strange, very difficult to explain how so many similar sized boulders came to be piled up so high in this one spot And of course....... snakes

Ep 11Episode #011: Annunaki, Breaking World Records, and Impossiblocks

E

In this episode we start off already completely distracted by Default Android Voice 001, which leads to Sitchin and aliens and Annunaki (of course), but eventually that leads to Ba'albek which completely distracts us a second time because it has Impossiblocks. Naturally that leads to the subject of Shamanism and Tibetan monks and fakin' it till you make it and a guy in Brazil named Jon OfGod and thousands of Inca getting killed trying to move an Impossiblock 10 feet. We discuss the Third Man Effect, the rate of world records being broken and the advent of extreme sports which (obviously) ties right back into Impossiblocks and basically solves that whole mystery. Elementary, really. (Tangetards please note: there are only two (2) tangents in this entire episode) Ba'albek platform from space Note temple of Jupiter wing on the left, you can see the shadows of the 6 remaining columns from the south wall, which the Romans were unable to put all the way out on the southernmost edge of the platform Six columns are all that still stands of the Roman temple of Jupiter The still mostly-intact temple of Bacchus / Dionysius: note the tiny people at the bottoms of columns and things to get an idea of scale Ba'albek is a sprawling confusion of ancient-to-modern stonework fragments One of the truly immense blocks at Ba'albek....at the bottom levels of the stonework. Note difference in surfaces from the blocks above. Also, this block has square holes in it similar to the large core stones of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem Immense blocks of the "secondary retaining wall" at Ba'albek "Stone of the Pregnant Woman" in the Ba'albek quarry After excavating around the Stone of the Pregnant Woman in the quarry, it was discovered to be sitting on top of two even larger blocks Dropped Block in between Ba'albek and the quarry Look at this for a while and try to really grasp the fact that someone was actually fucking moving this thing Another view of the "second retaining wall", you can see where later peoples have cut into the stones to make passageways Biggest stuff is always at the bottom at Ba'albek, note the jumbled sculpt work on some of the blocks, indicating they were recycled "Second retaining wall" is clearly disconnected with the remainder of the platform Note heavy weathering on lowest blocks in the foreground Truly immense entryway into temple of Bacchus From "Archaeological Park" in Jerusalem, here is a very large core/foundation block with characteristic square "lifting" holes Beneath the Temple Mount, where some of the truly large original core blocks remain to this day Close-up of Temple Mount core block surface Petrified wood stuck in core block in Jerusalem Egyptian stone vase made from porphyry Made of Andesite, a very hard type of granite Egyptian bottle made from amethyst, a gemstone not known for softness How about Holy Shit P.S. Why is Russ even in this comic? He doesn't say anything or do anything

Ep 10Episode #010: The Enuma Elish and The Sphinx Controversy

E

Episode ten! Wow. Anyway, we dedicate this show to questions, comments, emails, catcalls, and heckling from listeners who just want us to slow down, chill out, and explain some things in detail, because we're always referring to these things but we've never actually explained what they are. So we try to do that. Kyle does an excellent job despite constant interruptions from Russ, while Russ does a terrible job despite zero interruptions from Kyle, and in this way we go thru the Sumerian "creation myths", the erosion patterns on the Sphinx enclosure, and the catastrophic end of the recent ice age. Kyle ties all of these things together into a gigantic fucking conspiracy while Russ makes ominous sound effects. Also, bananas are---once again---not discussed. The Big Rock Dry cateracts in the channeled scablands Grand Coulee Dry Falls Potholes in Basalt in the channeled scablands Giant potholes Huge current ripples in Montana prairie land Massive current ripples, taken from airplane Enki, With horned elongated skull and shoulder rivers The Annunaki as Bird Therianthropes Note Exoskeleton? on Leg Madagascar. (In case you missed it) Madagascar coastline with clear imprints left from immense tsunamis....note the scale at lower left Madagascar coastline with multiple high water lines Huge tsunami "chevron" deposits 4,000 miles away from Madagascar, the Australian west coast, with clear signs of huge tsunamis Sphinx enclosure walls displaying vertical erosion patterns from heavy rainfall Ancient limestone core blocks visible above and behind newer granite casing Limestone core blocks behind granite casing stones Sphinx enclosure walls erosion

Ep 9Episode #009: Because, Again....Pyramids

E

In this episode, we discuss pyramids and Babel and pyramids and tacos and pyramids and Newton and pyramids and physics and pyramids and genetics and pyramids and alchemy and then we finish it off with a discussion about pyramids. P. S. (Also, Kyle does the most amazing impersonation of Christopher Dunn ever done by anyone anywhere ever. It starts somewhere around 9 minutes in and it's amazing. Did I mention it's awesome?) P. P. S. (All in good fun, btw. We have much respect for Mr. Dunn and his contributions to these mysteries.)

Ep 8Episode #008: The Ordinary Extraordinary, Lucid Dreaming, Easter Island

E

First up in this episode are excerpts from another Fortean Times article, this one details a whole list of event types that most people consider to be extraordinary, but in fact these happen nearly every day. After that we touch on the topic of the Information Universe, then slide seamlessly into a discussion on dreams, where we ponder the question of why we can't use our smartphones in our dreams so we can Google how to do stuff like lucid dreaming, because for some reason the dream realm does not seem to have things like smartphones and computers. Sleep paralysis also comes up. Finally, we completely fail to bring closure to any of those topics by spending the last segment talking about Easter Island.

May 25, 20172h 14m

Ep 7Episode #007: Metal Books, Mormons, and Mars

E

We have our first guest on the show, Ethan Hack, who sat in the studio with us and argued with everything we said and basically told us we're dumb. Generally this is an assessment we agree with, but we proved him wrong anyway, just to be nice. Other than that, we discuss an interesting document from the official CIA website, a whole list of odd events from the last hundred years taken from an article posted in the Fortean Times, stopping lasers with your mind, and how to become the Most Badass Martial Artist Ever. Also, Mormons and metal books and truths hidden in lies.

May 11, 20172h 11m

Ep 6Episode #006: Books of Gold & OOPArts

E

In this episode we discuss the origin of the name of the podcast and how we both became interested in these topics. Then we talk ancient lost cities, Mormons, Nephas and Babel. Also, we take our very first caller/complaint who calls to bitch about Kyle not knowing who wrote Star Wars. We end the show with some more accounts of out of place artifacts and places allegedly found within the United States.

Ep 5Episode #005: Because Pyramids

E

In episode five we outline the "Because Pyramids" hypothesis, which, in brief, posits that all of western civilization exists because around 6,000 years ago some dudes in buttflaps found giant stone triangles in the desert. Keeping with the subject of ancient Egypt, we talk about the Book of the Dead and how the Egyptians seemed to have made a science out of investigating the afterlife, building a picture of the various trials and tests a human soul must face and pass after death in order to achieve ascension to the stars. Because of the 2-D nature of Egyptian illustration, Russ associates the depictions in the Book of the Dead with oldschool 2d "platform jumper" videogames, which totally ruins the whole "spiritual enlightenment" thing. We also touch on the extraordinary nature of the so-called "air shafts" in the Great Pyramid, and specifically the "Queen's Chamber" shafts and the "door" discovered by Gantenbrink, which Zahi Hawass penetrated on live TV ten years later, and the strange, faint marks on the floor of the shaft beyond the door. This show is almost entirely focused on ancient Egypt. Enjoy! Book of the Dead. If this was a videogame strategy guide, this would be the creatures list. Translation: Show up in a boat. Bring people with sun hats. Use the sun hats to build a Sputnik. When the birds come to steal the sun, stand beneath it and pretend it's a hat to confuse them. Do not give high fives to anyone sitting on a table. The Weighing of the Heart, from the Book of the Dead. That Feather of Truth better have some heft to it. Boss Fight!! A side scrolling platform jumper game. See the resemblance? Look, there's even pyramids and mummies. Queen's chamber. Air shaft opening on left. King's chamber. Air shaft opening on right. How the air shafts were formed Structure of the shafts through the layers of the pyramid blocks. Note the locking blocks, labeled D, below...these keep the entire shaft structure from sliding down into the chambers.

Ep 4Episode #004: Daylight Saving, Magic, and Climate Change

E

We start this episode with a rant about "daylight savings time" which everyone seems to hate and yet gets passed through every sitting congress, and possibly how the purpose of such a detestable rule is to disconnect us from the cosmos so we can't do magic. (hey, it's possible) We introduce more of our patented SnakeBros terminology, such as "Longhead"(hominid with an elongated cranium), "Nephas" (a less formal version of the word Nephilim, as in "Whassup mah Nepha"). We talk about ancient giants with double dentition and the conspiracy to conceal them. We talk about reports of tombs full of loot, but with the primary corpse missing(looters took the corpse and left all the loot??) There are other tangents here and there, then the final subject is climate change. Hypogeum More Hypogeum and even MOAR Hypogeum Paracas Elongatus Different morphologies of Longheads The skull on the left has a cranial capacity of 2500-2800 cc Artist renditon of a longead The Coneheads from SNL "WE ARE FROM FRANCE" Artist rendition of a human attacking a Nepha Photo of the Siberian Taiga forest near the area of the Tunguska explosion 800 square miles of trees blown down like matchsticks, radiating away from the epicenter of the explosion

Ep 3Episode #003: Carbon Dating and the Devil's Footprints

E

In this episode, Russ delivers a patented 100% Pure U.S.D.A. Certified and Approved Grade A Rantfest on the various problems inherent in the theory behind certain types of archaeological dating methods. We ask the very important question, is it possible to bail out of a small Cessna aircraft mid-flight? Also, is it possible to walk barefoot down the slope of an active volcano, atop pyroclastic material? Does walking down the volcano in this stuff make one Satan himself? Asking the real questions is what Snakebros is all about. Here are some ancient weird "eye statues". Clearly these people have seen something that cannot be unseen(and now you won't be able to unsee them): "Dad, is that...." "Yes it is, son...." *stare* Goddammit Right Head, stop looking up when I'm looking down Looks like pieces to a board game. Probably one about being a creepy stalker. Coffee bean eyes. Cool beans. I just.... I just can't even. The iChoir? This is what Kyle was looking at at first. Creepy statues with huge weird eyes, but not like the ones above.

Ep 2Episode #002: The Very First Episode

E

This is the first episode. Really. Pay no attention to the repeated references in this episode to a previous "pilot" episode having been recorded. Yes, that is technically ourselves making those repeated references to this mythical "pilot" episode. But really, who's gonna take us seriously? We certainly don't. Meanwhile, the conversation in this ground-breaking first-ever recorded episode of Brother of the Serpent covers the "three A's of ancient civilizations", which are(in no particular order: Agriculture Architecture Astronomy We discuss the difficulties inherent in "domesticating" plants(for crops) and animals(for any number of jobs).
