Come on a journey as we explore history, science and many other topics through new eyes. We will look at what has been forgotten, omitted, and just plain covered up. Topics include everything from the Pyramids that are all over our planet, lost technologies that we are rediscovering, aliens, acoustic technologies, classified government projects and the nature of reality itself....and much much more.
