You’re looking at part of an 11,000-year-old story carved in stone. At Sayburç, a male figure is depicted holding his penis alongside threatening animals. What makes it extraordinary isn’t simply the imagery—it’s that the figures appear to form connected scenes, interpreted by researchers as one of the earliest known narrative compositions. We can still see the story. We can speculate on its meaning m, we just don’t know exactly what it meant.

You’re looking at one of the most mysterious stones in the ancient Hittite capital. At Hattuşa, Türkiye, a massive green stone sits within the ruins of a temple complex more than 3,000 years old. What makes it extraordinary isn’t simply its unusual color or polished appearance—it’s that nobody knows exactly why it was placed there. Was it a sacred object? An offering to the gods? Did it play a role in ancient Hittite rituals? We can examine the stone. We can speculate about its purpose. But more than 3,000 years later, we still don’t know exactly what it meant.

Well… this is awkward. I’ve done a complete 360. I originally believed the basalt floor tool marks east of Khufu’s pyramid were ancient saw cuts and possibly evidence of lost technology. Then a 180. A few years ago, I made a video arguing they were modern. George Reisner’s Harvard expedition worked extensively in this area, a modern road once crossed over these stones, and I’d heard accounts from locals describing how people used modern tools to remove stone for the forgery trade. Given all that, it seemed like a reasonable conclusion at the time. After taking a much closer look today, however, I’ve changed my mind. I’m now convinced these cuts are ancient.💯 That doesn’t mean the technique was impossible for the ancient Egyptians. Clearly, it wasn’t. But aspects of how they achieved these cuts may still be lost to us. So the “modern cuts” debunking theory can now be placed quietly in the bin. Chalk one up for the alternative historians and YouTubers who argued these cuts were ancient. They were right after all, and I stand corrected. Funny old thing, evidence. It has an inconvenient habit of changing minds.

Don’t believe the YouTube influencer hype. And despite what’s often repeated online, there’s no evidence the olive trees damaged the archaeology at Göbekli Tepe No particular person was responsible for removing the trees at Göbekli Tepe. Lee Clare explains how It was part of a broader, long-term site management plan. The reality is less sensational than the algorithm would have you believe.

What did I just stumble upon at Giza? 🤯 At first, I assumed these stones may be part of a modern installation. But the closer I looked, the more I began to suspect they may be ancient. The stones appear carefully aligned and run lengthwise through the ground. Could this be a boat pit similar to the Khufu solar boat pit, where massive stone blocks were stacked along its length? When I zoom in, however, these stones seem partially embedded in the earth. I considered whether it might be a quarry, but that doesn’t appear likely. Another possibility is some kind of ancient earthwork within a wadi. I’ve now asked several independent researchers, YouTubers I respect, Egyptologists, official Site inspectors, and contacts within the Egyptian authorities. So far, no one seems familiar with it. And I’ve been to Giza more times I can count, but because I’m at a unique vantage point I was able to see something I’ve never seen before. There may be something buried in the archaeological literature, and I’m going to keep digging. It sits in an obscure part of the plateau that most people simply pass over. For now, we may have a legitimate Giza mystery on our hands. Does anyone know what this is? Let’s get to the bottom of this mystery together. 🔎

Has anyone seen these before? 👀 Or are you seeing us for the first time? What are these massive stones…. modern construction or something ancient? Someone out there has to know.

During her interview on Joe Rogan, Secrets in Stone mentioned that some people believe it’s simply a pile of sand. 👋 Guilty. I was among the first online to suggest that—not as a dismissal, but based on nearly two decades studying the Giza Plateau, time spent on the ground investigating in Egypt while living here, and what I learned from my mentor, John Anthony West as well as the local Egyptian Egyptologists, archaeologists and site inspectors who actually work here. We know this mound is excavation debris dumped by archaeologists including Selim Hassan and Ahmed Fakhry more than 50 years ago. Flatten it, and there’s no Sphinx-shaped structure there. The claim, of course, then shifts from Damiano Piras original hypothesis about the pile of sand being the second Sphinx to Biondi’s 100% certainly that something is buried beneath it, as though the sand were placed there to conceal it. But Selim Hassan excavated the actual Sphinx (and the Osiris Shaft). — Why would he hide a second one instead of investigating it? Here’s why I don’t believe this is evidence for the “discovery” of a second Sphinx.

Stumbled upon a fascinating mystery today at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Cairo. Together with Luke Caverns and members of our Adept Expeditions tour group, we noticed a striking difference between two sets of glyphs carved side-by-side. Why did one seem far superior? The answer wasn’t two different techniques from two different civilizations—but two levels of skill from two different dynasties. Amenhotep III, known for artistic refinement, reigned 100+ years before Ramses II. The cultural context behind these glyphs reveals so much more than timelines—it tells the story of evolving craftsmanship, identity, and tradition. It’s not just about knowing Egyptological context; it’s about feeling Egypt—its ancient people, its art, and its legacy. When you look through that lens, history becomes something deeper. Something alive. When you approach history through the proper cultural context, you unlock a deeper understanding of the ancient world.

You won’t believe what’s hiding in this jungle… 🌿👀 Deep in the Maya ruins, I explore a stunning temple monster masks—some say it’s Chaac, others see the Witz monster, Flower Mountain, Kʼawiil, or Itzamna Ye. From an animistic lens, the monster mask gives life into the stone structure. I also reveal details on my next tour that you can join: Unexplained Mysteries of Peru & Bolivia: miss it! #HiddenHistory #MayanRuins #JungleAdventure
