John Hoopes is self described as nuero-divergent and a nerd. He saw Chariots of the Gods first run in the theaters. He read most of Graham Hancock's books. He read Blavatsky in 10th grade, in addition to Lovecraft, Heinlein, Bradbury, Asimov, etc. He's one of us. Oh, he also went to Yale undergrad and Harvard graduate school and is currently a Professor at the University of Kansas with degrees in Anthropology and Archeology. He's done field work throughout South and Central America and has nothing to sell. But he agreed to come on this show partly to address and de-bunk Graham Hancock and much of the content in both seasons of Ancient Apocolypse. He gives his biography and we share some Baltimore commonalities and his love of the mysterious; including his desire to find Atlantis as a real place, etc. From alignments of structures to lost technologies, we discuss it. Is the age of the sphinx disputed? Is it true that ancient peoples could not have build megalyths? All this and more. Did I mention Yale and Harvard?
