Missing Graves, Prison Planet & Sydney's Cathedrals with Dan Stevens — Part 3 of 6 | Classics Rotation

From Nikkiana Jones, Exploring the Fringe · 19:07

Show by Nikkiana Jones

The host asks whether sites like Göbekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe were buried on purpose to preserve something for the future. Dan Stevens says that every buried or unburied site, from the Roman Forum to Stonehenge, comes with a different story, and that the inconsistency is reason enough to doubt the whole account.Dan returns to his search for graves from before 1700 in Britain and compares it with the official histories of America, Australia and New Zealand. He describes what he sees as a constant theme of apocalypse and utopia in films and media, a donkey chasing a carrot it can never eat, and offers an analogy of a stolen child who is told one cover story after another. He suggests our current world may be only about 300 years old. The host asks whether Earth is a prison planet and says religion and science both stress human insignificance. They discuss how quickly European-style cathedrals went up in Sydney after 1788 and the grand buildings of Buenos Aires, and Dan tells the story of the young stonemason said to have trained Australia's first builders. These are the speakers' own views and interpretations.This is an archival replay, not current news. Original YouTube publish date: February 25, 2022. Source timestamps: 0:40:44.700–0:59:57.700.

Well pretty much we are both convinced we are but you make that decision for yourself. What is earth; a prison planet, a zoo, a simulation, a school? Unlearning is quite a task, but if you strive for first principles learning and understanding, there are some surprising observations.
