Stonehenge, Giants and Druids - a conversation with Hugh Newman! 

Thanks Ben. Delighted to be on your podcast. If anyone has any questions, please ask! - Hugh

Been binge watching this channel for the past few days I love it.

Thanks Ben. Been listening to Hugh as long as I've been making videos.

Historian and teacher here! Your videos are absolutely fascinating! I live real close to Stone Henge so I am excited to watch this video. It being so close I always forget how fascinating it actually is. Keep up the great work 💪

I dont usually comment on anything, but I just wanna give Ben a shoutout man, you do an amazing job with this channel. I just cant stop binging, keep up the good work!

I cried like river when leaving Egypt when I left after my trip 15 years ago. It felt like home. It felt grand and true. Now I know there are so many things we need to understand better. I feel so lucky.

I've driven past Stonehenge a few times recently and I love the fact that in 2022 an '8000' year old monument causes a huge traffic jam... all day... every day.

Two exits, no waiting..... just don’t use a colander, if the toilet is occupied! Funny story told on Gram Norton. I grew listening to stories about the giant red headed Indians from my grandfather, who lived in Kansas his entire life. This was not ancient, this was while he was young. 100-80 yrs ago. These always made me cry.

I'm 57 now, I can remember as a child my parents taking us to stone henge, parking at the side of the road and wandering up to the stones and looking at them. I even remember we had a picknick there and sitting on one of the fallen stones in the middle and eating a jam sandwich. Thats how much things have changed in 47 - 48 years. You best try and go to these places now because in another 20 years people will probably be baned from even looking at them. This makes me so sad because our history belongs to everyone.

I appreciate you putting out great content with good audio. You have great footage and speak clearly about interesting topics

Love that vintage TV in the background.

Fantastic conversation! 2 great gentlemen in the front lines here. Love all the work

Using scoops to tune the stone sounds like a neat idea but I don't get why they'd need to do it on a statue as well as a functional piece. I think it's more likely the scoops were removing cracks.

I'm not even 4 minutes in and I'm already intrigued and fascinated by the conversation! Yeah! Can't wait to hear the rest Thanks guys 💞

I'm glad to see you discuss stuff like this, it's much welcome and appreciated. You should do more like this. I'm 44, and as a kid growing up in the 1980s, I never believed the mainstream when it came to our human origins. I threw the Out Of Africa theory out the window when I was like 9. I believe there are perhaps dozens of evolutions of hominids that evolved separately, and at different times, and eventually some of them met and intermingled. Considering we had giant fauna and flora in the distant past, we could've easily had giant humans too. I think the different skin, hair, and eye colors, the different blood types, etc, all come from different hominids that evolved in different areas and at different times in the past. Stargate SG-1, SG-A, and SG-U are my favorite shows because they actually talk about the Lanteans/Ancients that evolved here millions of years ago and left at some point, then came back to find a 2nd evolution of humans that some of them intermingled with and carried their genes into modern times. I'm not saying I believe these Ancients left Earth or whatever, but the idea that there were multiple evolutions aligns with my beliefs. The fact that the Ancients were that advanced is also not believable, but I've always believed there were advanced civilizations in the past that have since vanished for some reason or another. I do think humans as we know them date back millions of years, not just tens or hundreds of thousands. It could be possible that at some point there were civilizations almost as advanced as ours, and the evidence would have long been lost, but I doubt they were capable of space flight to other galaxies and stuff. But, who knows? If they had satellites in space, those would've crashed to Earth long ago and been lost to the sands of time. I often wonder if the large deposits of metals we find sometimes aren't the remains of ancient steel buildings that have been reclaimed by nature. Anyways, sorry for the book. I hope to see more of these types of videos.

Really liked this video conversation. Especially in lockdown draws you in and you cover some great subjects

Minute 1:12:00. When I went to Talum in Mexico the first time back in 1991, my future wife and and just drove up to the site, we explored it for hours and swam in the incredible Caribbean Sea by ourselves and sunned on the beach. We came back 10 years later with our kids and there were concession stands and hundreds of people and a completely controlled environment. I understand it is an elite destination today. :(

The conversation is about giants, but I wanted to point out a piece of folklore about little people with an actual physical analog - old Hawaiian tales of Maui have him encountering the 'little forest folk' in areas that may have been where we ended up finding skeletons of Homo Floresiensis (the hobbits of flores) and there are tales of orang pendek in indonesia in that area as well.

I love your channel. Truly brings wonder to my life ;) Can you do one on Japan megaliths? I would be curious to hear your experience, insight and perspective on “Masuda no iwafune, ishi no hoden, sakafune ishi, the 100,000 kofun tombs with megalithic structures inside.”

Another great conversation Ben! I've been following Hugh's work & Megalithomania for quite a while & the number of different ancient sites he's explored is freakin mindblowing! On a side note, me & Hugh are wearing the same exact t-shirt, just sayin😂 Thanks Ben, take care my man.🤜💥🤛

Great content thanks Ben.

Thanks Ben, Love your work best format ever.

Nice one Ben! Awesome video, as always. Hugh nailed my thoughts on the nubs, some kind of tuning mechanism after installation. There are also 'anti-nubs'? Similar shape, but inset instead of protruding. Almost like a single wall or connected construction had a musical chord-like attribute, and adjusting the mass of the stones after installation was fine-tuning the individual notes for whatever purpose.

The intro music gives me goosebumps every time because I know I’m about to be taken on uncharted mental journey.

What a great relaxed chat ..Hugh is one of the OG's in megalithic circles ..He's does top drone vids of ancient sites also ..

Thank you unchotted. My new fav channel

Man.. There are not many things getting me real excited but all of these sort of subjects get me the gitters inside my stomach every. single. time. So excited for the opcoming years and the remodeling of our past

Thanks Ben, nice collaboration with Hugh, very interresting to listen to both of you guys

My first thought when hearing the healing facts, made me think Stargate, and the rejuvenation boxes. Thank you for the talk and I appreciate the insights and first hand accounts

great topics covered here - thanks. Glad you mentioned the work of Alan Wilson and Barack Blackett. Wonderfully detailed 'ancient' Britain history and, of course, it helps to be able to read and write Welsh. I mourn the fact that their work isn't widely known. Giants, Sasquatch - known as Yowies in Australia - mythical creatures within my childhood yet I now know differently. As for a catastrophic past - Velikovsky's 'Worlds in Collision.' and the electric universe gives context. What a wonderful history we'd have if it were known.

The first time I went to Stonehenge it was free and you could wander around at will, but that was back in 70s. There was a bit of graffiti but the way it has evolved (or devolved) is just sad. How can this god knows how old megalith belong to a board of directors more involved in commerce than truth? There is a photo of a 19 year old me leaning against one of the leaning blocks saying it wasn’t me that pushed it over. It’s a beautifully spiritual place.

Nubs as tuning and traditions perpetuating themselves are great points. Thanks guys, great talk.

Great listening, very interesting and informative.

Literally watched 2 megalithomania videos today and looked at my subs to see you just released this interview. Very strange but awesome.

Great show guys 👍

Thanks!

YES!!! On time for a change!

ty both this is awesome

Awesome as always...couple cool dudes right here👍☺️

Fantastic!!! 1000 thumbs up👍👍👍😃

Mr. Newman always talks about wierd subjects but it's pretty Interesting. I really enjoy it even if I disagree. Thank you both for putting out great content!!!!

New to this channel its fantastic .

Yay!

He takes the rare stone to those desolate mountains wherein there is no settlement of any kind, and lays it on the ledge of a mountain. This is the reason his name is translated by us in the Aramaic tongue, Mountain Carpenter,[9] seeing that he will first cleave the mountains

Ben, you need to make podcast with Praveen Mohan, he know a lot about ancient India.

I went to all the stone circles I could in Great Britain some years ago - Merry Maidens in Cornwall was the only fully intact one I could find. Bright sunny day, I walked into the circle, it was a huge storm. Stepped out, sunny day - stepped back in, huge storm. We got back to Falmouth just as a huge storm came in. For me, they are portals or doorways to the Astral - where things happen just in advance of things that are about to occur in the physical world.

I used to play at Stonehenge as a Boy ❤️ Great Pcast.

Absolutely the number one channel on megalithic sites 👍👍👍

Awesome stuff

Thanks.

Thanks for this interesting vid! An idea for a vid I think would be really interesting: Your top 10 or 15 ancient high tech sites on your bucket list (including the ones you've seen) :) Just a thought. Cheers mate!!

holy frik youtube is gettin in me brain, just watched a doc with Hugh in it last night and thought to myself, Ben needs this guy on his podcast, and then today, WTF!!! Love this channel, good work as always Ben!!!!

thanks ben

So keen for some Aussie Dreamtime research videos man!

In the book the Ra Material they say the pyramids were for 'shamans' to take people and see within their chakra energy field where they are sick, and how to manifest healing. Very neat experience!

That intro beat... "fucked around and got richer than all my idols(its Remble)"....

Here's one a little less esoteric. Ever hear of Edward Leedskalnin? Coral castle in Florida. Smaller scale (annals of understatement), but very interesting.

Great video ! Very good talk. next conversation will be with James Swagger ???? thanks. Ben ! Keep up the GOOD work ! . m

Hugh, to me is up their with Brien Foerster and Graham Hancock... an amazing guy, with alot of knowledge in this field 🙂👍.

The nub resonance connection was very interesting; especially after watching a video on the nubs at the amphitheatre at Delphi. Here acoustics would have been the primary function of the architecture. Designing buildings as we do now on computer can produce plans that can be perfect for their intent. However, in practice constructions very rarely match the blueprints and on site alterations are more often than not needed. These nubs could have been put in place on the plans purposefully; so during construction any gaps between the design and reality can be filled in. One would think as their technology progressed this design-product gap would have slowly reduced the amount of nubs if not remove the need the have them at all. But looking at the recent "The 100 ton boxes of the Serapeum with the Snake Brothers!" video at the boxes (probably the most advanced level of technology example we have); even one of these (at 47:13) has a nub on it. Although that one does look like it was used to lift the lid; where the majority of other blocks would clearly not have that purpose.

Hey Ben. Question for you. A question about the inside of the pyramid as depicted in your UnchartedX Logo at the beginning of this video. The shaft that goes down underground, leading to a chamber and then continues across farther - does it just dead end? What happens at the end of that shaft? If you see this and have the time to respond, thanks very much!

Excellent cast as usual.We are all terminally ill :]

What book gives insight on Anesthetics from the Amazon? I’d love to read that . Keep the important work going!

Your intro tune is low-key fresh 👌❤️💯

Fantastic conversation between the two of you! I look forward to your interview with Brien Forester.

Wonderful as always! Really enjoyed this more speculative angle to add to everything else! One thing is certain, more research is necessary.

I.m loving this channel . Hi evry1

Ben is really starting to master his art, The exchange of ideas going on in this video was interesting. Great job!

Big fan of you both. Love his fb group. All the censorship asides the only reason for some of these tech programs is to hear what fascinates me and I think resonates with me bc we are tied to them with our ancestors.

Dig both your work. Interesting discussion. Defo agree on the psychedelic spiking of every government and gatekeeper on earth. Keep up the good work lads

great job, we need to open up PANDORA´s café

Great video! Also, dude probably got sick due to mold in his AC at the hotel or something. That shit is no joke.

Maybe they did use sound/vibrations to move the blocks. and just like the length of a pipe changes the resonance freq maybe the scoops etc were to change the block so it resonated at whatever frequency ranges they needed to be.

Bosnian Pyramid Of The Sun is all about healing your body. You guys should get Sam Osmanagich linked in to this pod cast!!

Hell to the yizzeh!! Loving all of the podcasts you have been doing lately ben keep up the great works.

I think is more that the powers that be are afraid to disturb the status quo and lose power rather than manifest destiny, it could be a mixture of both too.

Crystal communication technology is not that far out! The first radios worked on the frequency emitted by a crystal under pressure.

Love you man.. drive past this everyday...

What song is that in your intro? Sounds like a remix of a Blackmill song I think. I've heard it before I just can't remember what it's called or who's the artist.

Has anyone mentioned that the two pillars in the middle of stonehenge look very much like the two pillars in each of the enclosures at gobekli tepe? The design...

The Megolithomaniac Family is Amazing! 😎

Ben, have you ever heard of Robert Sepehr, anthropologist with several books and videos on YT. I Would love to see you all chat on a podcast, he is very knowledgeable with the human aspect of ancient cultures and deciphering the ancient myths and legends. He is one of my favorite authors of ancient cultures. I think he would be a great addition to the "Team". Its time to give a term to you fellows that are getting together to solve these mysteries.

I have a ridiculously weak digestive system, my deepest sympathies.

It's an enlarged version of the cairn at New Gate in Ireland....but locals pinched all the light stones.

Human remains found on Vancouver Island have opened a door into a lost world Nov 26, 2020 - It wasn’t an ordinary-looking skull, either. It was elongated, flat at the front, sloping toward the back. It was of a type typical of some Northwest Coast nations who practised an ancient custom-shared by the Inca of Peru and some early European cultures

@17:27 what happened why was it edited?

Based on your intellectual preferences I can see that you are a man of culture keep up the good work cheers 🍻 from Germany

Me too run into the middle 😂

@UnchartedX could u list a bunch of recommended books on all these topics please

Twatha denon I think is their Druid secrete oaths, it’s suppose to be hidden but it can be found. I’ve read some books on this in part. But the Druid study is fascinating. It’s a bit mixed up on many levels though.

BEN, Are you going to cover in your upcoming documentary, *The Persian Shaft Of Sacarra* It’s mind baffling🤯

Great interview 😎 joining the dots with fantastic researchers 👌🏻

I’ve heard of giants of Stonehenge. I live in Cornwall, St Agnes and here we have ‘Giant Bolster’ in our annual celebrations including a story of how he ruled the village and was tricked by Agnes and killed. There are many more ‘Giants’ in Cornish folklore and myths too.

Wasn't stonehenge moved from its original location? I watched a tour by a knowledgeable UK woman years ago that has likely been removed from YT that mentioned that and many other things I never heard in any other videos, like water being drawn to the surface next to or within one of the stones and people using it for healing properties, as well as some part of a stone or under or next to a stone that would vibrate and was filled in with concrete to stop it or cover it up. Also something about there being a highly reflective sphere in the middle that would show constellations. Ring any bells for anyone? I tried to find the hour or two long video again but couldn't and don't know the title. It was a tour that was posted on YT in the early 2010s

I was wondering if you had a link to where I could find John Burke's book Seed of Knowledge, Stone of Plenty. Diggin' the channel

🙏

What was the book and author, John Burk? And the title?

Tuned resonant walls eh ? Like Biblical Jericho commentary ? Trying to find the right pitch over a few days perhaps and have the shattering glass effect ?

1:23:00. Is that Coba? That was thick jungle in '91

Scoop marks or plastering marks from using a geopolymer concrete ? The first one needs high tech stone cutting technology the second a wooded float.
