Deep Waters: Alexander the Great and Marco Polo Both Fought Dragons

New studio, same chaos. Dylan and Sam Tripoli return after a few weeks off to break down one of the show's biggest theories yet: that dragons weren't myth, but a real species written out of the historical record. They trace dragon accounts from Alexander the Great's reported sighting in a cave after invading India, to Marco Polo's travel logs, to Saint George's documented dragon slayings across three continents — and lay out the theory that the Catholic Church suppressed the truth to protect its own claim to power. Along the way: the case that dinosaur bones were first identified as Nephilim giants, the Chinese zodiac's one "fake" animal, and a Leviathan-Godzilla connection tying it all to ancient sea monster cults.Also this episode: Dark Smith's ongoing Gulf War Syndrome saga, Nancy Mace's tattoo collection, and a breakdown of Mark Zuckerberg's "personal superintelligence" pitch and what it means for surveillance, censorship, and comedy on Instagram.New studio is live — let us know what you think in the comments.Grab Tickets To Sam Tripoli's Live Shows At: https://samtripoli.com/events/Nashville, TN: Word War DebateLawerence, KS: 9/17-9/19 Tulsa, OK: 10/9-10/10 Dallas, TX: 11/07New Orleans, LA: 11/13 - 15Austin, TX: DEC 11th-13thPlease check out Sam Tripoli's 6th Crowd Work Special "Women Can't Peg" Live From Batavia: https://bit.ly/3TZBzHTSam Tripoli's 5th Comedy Special drops Sept 1st on Gas Digital's Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GaSDigitalNetworkBuy Our Merch or Sam Will Fight You: https://conspiracy-social-club-aka-de...Subscribe to the Patreon: / akadeepwaters Check out Dylan's instagram - @dylanpetewrennCheck out Deep Waters Instagram: @akadeepwatersCheck out Bad Tv podcast: https://bit.ly/3RYuTG0Ad-free, uncensored episodes: Patreon.com/CSC THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS:Hims.com/CSC for a free evaluation MenGoToMars.com for 50% Off Mood.com Promo Code CSC for 20% off your first order0:00 New studio reveal0:14 Comet of the Week0:18 Dark Smith's Gulf War Syndrome saga0:49 Dragons: were they real, and why the cover-up0:55 The Chinese zodiac's one fake animal0:59 Alexander the Great's dragon sighting in India1:01 Marco Polo's dragon encounters1:02 Saint George and the Catholic Church cover-up theory1:05 Ancient texts on dragons vs. elephants1:08 Leviathan, Godzilla, and ancient sea monster cults1:08 Nancy Mace's tattoos1:12 Nancy Mace vs. Sam Altman1:18 Zuckerberg's "personal superintelligence" and AI censorship
