Earth AncientsOct 10, 2026
Author Kevin Sterling argues that refugees from a sunken Caribbean 'Atlantis' fled the Younger Dryas catastrophe through Florida and built a hidden, knowledge-based civilization in the caves and bluffs of the Arkansas and Missouri Ozarks. He claims these refugees mixed culturally with unusually tall 'giant' peoples and with crash-stranded gray aliens he calls the Night Dwellers, whom he links to the Cherokee legend of the Moon-Eyed People. Host Cliff Dunning opens with his own AI-assisted claim that the Great Sphinx's head is a later replacement made of different stone than its ancient body.
