Lynn, Newman, Grassi: 2025: A Year in Review

from Earth Ancients · host Cliff Dunning

Dr. Heather LynnHeather is an author, historian, and renegade archaeologist specializing in the investigation of hidden histories, forbidden artifacts, and the symbolic systems that have shaped human civilization. Known for challenging conventional narratives and making complex historical subjects accessible, she brings a rare interdisciplinary lens to her work.Heather’s undergraduate training in archaeology and information technology led to a Master’s in History, followed by a Doctorate in Education from the University of New England and a Doctorate in Comparative Religion. Her doctoral research at UNE examined how history museums communicate with the public in the digital age, exploring how institutions shape cultural memory, identity, and civic engagement through technology. This work bridged museum studies, sociology, and communication theory, offering insights into how societies curate their own narratives, and what those choices reveal about power, heritage, and truth.Her current research explores the intersection of archaeology, mythology, and power: forgotten temples, anomalous artifacts, elite rituals, and the selective preservation of history. She does not confine herself to the academic mainstream, nor does she chase the fringe for spectacle. Instead, her work asks why certain truths remain buried, and what that reveals about the human condition.Hugh NewmanHugh Newman is an author, documentary maker, world explorer, megalith researcher, and expedition leader.

They have shared never-before-seen ground-penetrating radar scans, photos, videos, and personal accounts of the subterranean network of tunnels and chambers that are likely connected to the record chambers described by Edgar Cayce. They are planning an excavation project at the most promising locations in the near future, and have released a three-part documentary series entitled The Secret Underworld of Giza.https://opusmagnum.org/Incogni Program“Use code [YOUR-UNIQUE-CODE] at the linkbelow to get an exclusive 60% off an annualIncogni plan: https://incog-ni.com/your-unique-code”  Your URL is: https://incogni.com/earthancientsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.
