We start off with some good old spaceweather news, which leads into a discussion of the earth's rapidly weakening magnetic field and the possibility of a polarity flip. We then move on to some discussion of further observations on the construction of pyramids and new things we learned in our recent trip in Egypt.

In the second half of the show, we talk about the amazing cart ruts we visited in the Phrygian Valley in Turkey. We show lots of pictures and video, and discuss and discard multiple hypotheses on what they are and how they were formed.

We actually recorded this just before we left for Egypt in March this year; it's been in the hopper for a while! Dan Friday, a Native American craftsman and professional glassmaker, joins us to talk about his fascination with glass artifacts of ancient Egypt. Dan was with us on one of our Egypt tours a few years ago, and shared some of his fascination with us at the time.

Along with glassmaking and ancient glass, we also discuss the egyptian vases, the fascinating topic of the Rupert's Drop, connections between ancient mythologies, and much more.
