Speaker 1 (00:56):
Ready to be amazed by the wizard of weird. This
is Strange Joshua war I am Joshua B. Warren, and
each week on this show, I'll be bringing you a
brand new my blowing content, news exercises and weird experiments
(01:18):
you can do at home, and a lot more. On
this edition of the show, Gods of Egypt and Scientific
Truths in the Bible. This is a fascinating topic. Let
me explain first why I have decided to talk about
(01:40):
this now. As you may or may not know, I
was born and raised in the Blue Ridge Mountains of
western North Carolina. It seemed like there was a church
on almost every corner I think I can. I can
say I was born on the buckle of the Bible belt.
And I say that confidently because the Reverend Billy Graham
(02:02):
was also born and raised there and had his ministry there,
and he is arguably, or he's passed on now, but
he was arguably the most influential Christian minister of the
twentieth century. He was known as the pastor to Presidents
because he was the spiritual counsel to thirteen US presidents,
(02:25):
starting with Harry S. Truman, even President Donald Trump. And
of course his son Franklin carries on the tradition. So
growing up in the Southern Baptist tradition as I did,
I was very familiar with the Old Testament the New Testament.
It was kind of interesting as I got older and
(02:46):
I started meeting friends from different places who had different religions.
I would get invited to go to a different type
of church and check out the scene. You know, here's
a Pentecostal church or here's an Episcopal church. I ended
up dating a girl for a while who was Catholic.
That was always interesting to go into the Catholic church.
The Catholic church is uh is kind of exciting because
(03:08):
it always reminds me of sort of like a Marvel,
a Marvel universe with all of these intense characters, these
villains and heroes, and then they're the buildings are big
and dramatic, and uh sometimes there are body parts on display,
(03:29):
and they have you know, there are all these magical
powers you could talk about, and you have holy water
so you could fight vampires and werewolves. And you know,
I'm exaggerating a little bit, but the Catholic Church definitely
is a very special institution. But uh, you know, as I,
as I was trying to figure out what I wanted
(03:52):
to believe personally, uh you know, I was exploring. I
was open minded, exploring different concepts and mindsets, I ended
up buying this book. I actually have a copy of
it in my hands right now. I think this was
originally published in eighteen sixty by a man named William
Henry Burr. It's called self Contradictions of the Bible. And
(04:14):
this is almost one hundred pages of just verse after
verse after verse, with one verse contradicting another in some
form of fashion. And so some of the more obvious
ones that a lot of people have probably heard about.
I mean, if you go back and you just start
look look at the beginning of the Bible. In Genesis,
(04:35):
the creation accounts. Genesis one describes a six day creation
with man and woman created simultaneously after animals, while Genesis
two presents a different order, with man first, then animals,
and then finally women or a woman next. We have
the order of creation. Genesis one states that light was
created on the first day, while the sun, moon, and
(04:55):
stars were not created until the fourth day. Creation of animals,
Genesis one says foul were created from the waters, while
Genesis two says they reformed from the ground. But you know,
and you know, then there are other parts of the
Old Testament. You might give that a pass and be like, well,
come on, we're talking about the beginning of creation. Like
nobody's going to get that right. There are sections in
(05:16):
this book where it like it says, okay, for example,
God forbids human sacrifice, and it gives these these verses
about that, and then turns right around says God accepts
human sacrifices and he gives verses about that. Or you
get up here into the New Testament and it says,
(05:37):
you know, Christ, he taught non resistance, says resist not evil,
but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn
to him the other. Also he also said, all they
that take the sword shall perish with the sword. But
then it turns right around in another chapter and says
he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment
(05:59):
and buy one. And then of course Jesus himself made
a scourge of small chords like a whip and drove
the people from the temple. You know, if you're interested
in this, and I mean, like I say, there's almost
one hundred pages, Yeah, I'm sure you could probably find
this online for free because it's public domain pdf. Self
contradictions of the Bible. So that was one thing that
(06:23):
perplexed me a lot when I was young and I
was trying to figure out what I wanted to believe.
And it's hard to reconcile that if you are one
of these people who takes the King James version of
the Holy Bible as the literal truth, literal written in
(06:44):
stone truth. And I have always felt like that, no
matter how much you do or do not believe in
the Bible, I think that it's impossible for us to
know what the actual original Bible said it was written
thousands of years ago, over a period of I believe
centuries by different many many different authors, and who knows
(07:10):
exactly what. We've never seen the original language, and you know,
some of the original versions of this Bible. And of
course I interviewed one of my friends, Dell Alan Hoffman,
who went back and studied Aramaic, which is the language
that Jesus supposedly spoke, and he is able to interpret
things differently than how that a lot of people who
(07:33):
don't speak Arabic would interpret them well, regardless of all that, look,
I was recently traveling. I was at an airport, and
while I was waiting for my plane, I went into
the airport gift shop, just knocking around, and of course
I always go and look over at the books and
see what people are reading before they get on the plane.
(07:55):
And I found this little book, kind of a pocket
size book, also about one hundred pages long. It's called
scientific Facts in the Bible. One hundred reasons to Believe
the Bible is Supernatural in Origin. The hmm, what an
(08:16):
interesting subtitle when hundred reasons to believe the Bible is
supernatural in origin? It's written by a man named Ray Comfort.
The book was only eight dollars and ninety nine cents,
and so I started reading this on the airplane, and
(08:37):
I thought that this guy makes some very interesting points,
and I want to share some of these points with
you and see what you think about it. He says,
I hope you are skeptical. Suppose I believed that I
was God and that I thought the whole universe revolved
(08:57):
around me. The confident youth waited for my reaction to
his question, and I simply answered, I think that you
would be a normal human being. He was a little
taken aback that I wasn't impressed by his outrageous statement,
and said, what do you mean? And I explained by
asking him where he thought he stood, and he told
(09:19):
me here. He told me that it was where he stood.
The author goes on to say every human being thinks
the same way we define here as being where we
are everything and everyone else is there. Each of us
thinks that we are the center of the universe. He says,
define now the word now for me, tell me when
(09:41):
it is. You can't the split second that you tried
to pinpoint, now it becomes then. I often find myself
explaining the nature of now. After I ask people if
they've ever stolen something, this is their typical answer to
the question, Yes I have, but that was in the past,
And I explained to them that everything is in the past.
You are even forced to define the reading of the
(10:03):
sentence as something you did in the past. These thoughts
are a little strange, and you may be thinking that
there are some things that we can still be sure of.
The sun still rises, the sky is still blue, and
up is still up? Not true. The sun never rises.
The earth turns, giving us the illusion that the sun
(10:24):
is rising although it remains still. It seems to be still,
but it's actually moving through the universe. The sky is
not blue. Ask any restaurant, in any astronaut. It has
no color. Neither is up up. Remember the Earth is round.
What is up to someone at the north pole is
not up to someone at the south pole. In fact,
(10:45):
if everyone on the Earth pointed to where we thought
was up, we would all point in different directions. So
many things that we think our absolutes are not. History
has shown us that even what science defines as truth
today may be laughed at in one hundred years. What then,
can we be sure of is there such a thing
(11:06):
as an absolute unchanging truth. We will look up this
subject in this publication. We're coming up on a break.
I think you can see already why that I find
this interesting because he is right that we tend to
think in absolutes, and we put all this emphasis on
(11:30):
science and technology, and yet it's constantly changing. I mean,
if you went back one hundred years, which is not
that long ago, Dick van Dyke was still alive. You
go back one hundred years and you tell them what
the world's like today, a lot of scientists would say
that it's impossible. You're out of your mind. Okay, we're
(11:51):
going to get into some specifics though. What are supposedly
some specific examples of scientific facts in the Bible that
might make us believe the Bible is supernatural and origin.
Pretty profound concept. Really, Hey, if you like this kind

I am Joshua Pee Warren, and you are listening to
Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast am
Paranormal podcast network. And I will be right back. Welcome
(13:30):
back to Strange Things on the iHeart for you and
Coast to Coast a m paranormal podcast network. I have
your host, the Wizards of Weird, Joshua V. Warren, beaming
into your wormhole brain from my studio in Sin City,
Las Vegas, Nevada, where every day is golden and every
(13:50):
night is silver. I Gietato Zume. You know, Las Vegas
is not far from the historic Route sixty six that
used to be the big road that people would use
to travel across a good part of this country before
the interstate system. And you can go down to you know,
(14:13):
various places in California, for example, and they're a little
Route sixty six gift shops and restaurants and diners is
all over the place, and I want to point this
out real quick. I am very particular about accepting gifts
from people. People offer me things all the time, and
(14:35):
I have to be careful. If you want to know
what I'm talking about. I think this applies to everybody.
Go back and listen. I did a show not too
long ago, episode two twenty five called be Careful about
accepting gifts Psychic Vampires. But I got contacted by a
listener named Danny, and I'm familiar with him to a
(15:00):
certain extent, and so he wanted to send me something.
I said okay, and I opened up this package. Turns
out he works for this company in Gallop, New Mexico,
and it's called Kestrel Leather and they make all of
these amazing, high quality leather products. And because I'm a
(15:23):
part of Coast to Coast am, he sent me a
stack of leather coasters. Isn't that clever? They're really nice,
well made. I'm not being paid to promote the fellow,
by the way, but here the coaster. It shows Root
sixty six and Scott the signing there that says Root
(15:44):
sixty six, and then there's a van going down the
road and above it as a flying saucerer with an
alien visible shooting a beam down. So I now have these,
so it's like a coast to coast coast. I dow
have these strewn around my home and office. So that's
that's really nice. Thank you so much, Danny. And really,
(16:07):
I mean again, I'm not being paid to endorse anything.
But you know, if you're into leather, go look at
the website Kestrel leather dot com. That's k E S
t R E L L E A t h E
R Kestrel leather dot com. There and Gallop, New Mexico.
Cool gift though all right, back to the topic at hand.
(16:28):
I have this book by Ray Comfort called Scientific Facts
in the Bible, one hundred Reasons to Believe the Bible
is supernatural in origin. Looks like this may have been
first published in two thousand and one. The author goes
on to say the Bible does not attempt to defend
its inspiration. Genesis simply opens with the words God said.
(16:50):
It repeats these words nine times in the first chapter.
The phrase the Lord spoke is used five hundred and
sixty times in the first five books of the Bible,
and at least thirty eight hundred times in the whole
of the Old Testament. Isaiah claims at least forty times
his message came directly from God, Ezekiel sixty times, Jeremiah
(17:11):
one hundred times. Interesting context for all this and so,
but now let's get onto the meat, because you go
through self contradictions of the Bible, and it's saying you
can't trust this text basically because it appears to us
this verse contradicts that. Okay, well maybe this is sort
(17:32):
of like the flip side. So here here are just
some examples. This is about the laws of hygiene, medical science,
and the Bible. And it says here that the Encyclopedia
Britannica documents. In eighteen forty five, a young doctor in Vienna,
doctor Simbelweiss, was horrified at the terrible death rate of
(17:56):
women who gave birth in hospitals. As many as thirty
percent died a childbirth. The doctor noted that other doctors
would examine the bodies of patients who died and then,
without washing their hands, go straight to the next ward
and examine expectant mothers. This was their normal practice because
the presence of microscopic diseases was unknown. Semilwise insisted that
(18:20):
doctors wash their hands before each examination, and the death
rate immediately dropped to two percent. And then he goes
on to say, look at the specific instructions God gave
thousands of years ago to tell his people for when
they encounter disease. Quote, and when he who has a disease, uh,
(18:40):
who has a discharge, is cleansed of his discharge, then
he shall count for himself seven days for his cleansing,
wash his clothes, and bathe his body in running water,
and then he shall be clean. That's from Leviticus fifteen thirteen.
And he says until recent years, doctors wash their hands
in a bowl of water, lee being invisible germs on
(19:01):
their hands. However, the Bible specifically says to wash under
running water. That's guidance from thousands of years ago. He
goes on to talk about a lot of these different
scientists and physicists who believed in the Bible, Isaac Newton,
(19:23):
Michael Faraday, Pascal past your Kepler, Galileo talks about how
the Bible speaks of the Big Bang, says, try to
think of any explosion that has produced order. Actually, I'm
(19:46):
going to get back to that one a second. I
don't want to sit here and like I can't. I
don't have permission to say and read this whole book
to you, right, But it has all these examples in
it of like the Bible speaks of a common ancest
Researchers suggest that virtually all modern men, ninety nine percent
of them, says one scientist, are closely related genetically and
(20:07):
shared genes with one male ancestor dubbed y chromosome atom.
We are finding that humans have very very shallow genetic
roots which go back very recently to one ancestor, and
that indicates that there was an origin in a specific
location on the globe, and then it spread out from there.
I've talked about that before that how that people have
(20:33):
pointed out that there is like one common ancestor, well,
the Luca, if you want to take it all the
way back to the beginning. There's a section of this
book where it talks about how that and I didn't
do a very good job of I think I did
a bad job of marking some of the examples I
(20:54):
wanted to point out from this book. But he talks
about how that in the Bible to the weather, and
it talks about how that the Bible and the water cycle.
The scriptures inform us all the rivers run in the sea,
yet the sea is not full to the place from
(21:15):
which the rivers come. There they return again. That's an Ecclesiastes,
he says. This statement alone may not seem profound, but
when considered with other Biblical passages, it becomes remarkable. The
Mississippi River dumps approximately five hundred and eighteen billion gallons
of water every twenty four hours into the Gulf of Mexico.
(21:35):
Where does all that water go? And that's just one
of thousands of rivers. The answer lies in the hydrologic
cycle so well brought out in the Bible. Psalm tells
us See one point five seven, says he causes the
vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He
makes lightning for the rain. Ecclesiastes says, if the clouds
(21:57):
are full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth.
The Book of Amos ninety six, he calls for the
waters of the sea and pours them out on the
face of the earth. The author goes on to say
the idea of the complete water cycle was not fully
understood by science until seventeenth century. However, more than two
(22:17):
thousand years prior to the discoveries of all these different scientists,
the scriptures spoke of the water cycle and how that works.
He talks about how the Bible talks about the first
law of thermodynamics, so you know, how the immune system.
(22:39):
But he kind of concludes here by saying, you know,
we scientists are always talking about the big Bang. There
was just a big explosion and then all this stuff happened, right,
And he says, try to think of any explosion that
has produced order. Does a terrorist bomb create harmony? Big
(23:02):
bangs cause chaos? How could a big bang produce a rose? Apple, trees, fish, sunsets,
the seasons, hummingbirds, polar bears, thousands of birds and animals,
each with its own eyes, nose, and mouth. He said,
try this interesting experiment. Empty your garage of every piece
of metal, wood, paint, rubber, and plastic. Make sure there
(23:25):
is nothing there nothing. Then wait for ten years and
see if a mercedes evolves. Try it. If it doesn't appear,
leave it for twenty years. If that doesn't work, try
it for one hundred years. Then try leaving it for
ten thousand years. Admittedly, it is pretty hard to believe
that it could appear. However, here's what will produce the
(23:47):
necessary blind faith to make the evolutionary process believable. Leave
it for two hundred and fifty million years. These are
thought provoking. These are thought provoking. I think you get
the point. And somewhere in here, I mean there's there's
(24:10):
there's a combination that the truth is somewhere in the combination,
but of arguments between these two books, And maybe I
shouldn't say arguments things that are pointed out in these
two books. But here's something that I've also thought was
really interesting that I've never talked about. There are people
out there who say, who whoa, whoa. Everybody knows this
(24:31):
story about Jesus, his life and his crucifixion and his resurrection.
That's just the story of the Egyptian god Horus that
was told thousands of years before Jesus was even born. Jesus,
the Jesus story is just a fictional rip off of
(24:52):
the Horror story. Is that is there any truth to that? Well,
let's let's look at that when we come back as well. Uh,
it's this, it's so hard to imagine life thousands of
years ago and how to interpret all this stuff. I'm
Joshua PE Warren. You're listening to Strange Things on the
iHeart Radio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network,
(25:16):
and I'll be back after these important messages. Welcome back
(25:53):
to Strange Things on the iHeart Radio and Coast to
Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I'm your host, Joshua P. Warren,
and this is the show where the unusual becomes usual. Yeah,
you can look at self contradictions of the Bible, and
(26:15):
you can say, well, obviously, it was written over hundreds
of years by lots of different people in different languages,
and you're just gonna have some contradictions. So you know,
you can't take it literally when it comes to supposed
scientific truths in the Bible. I suppose even that as
a matter of interpreting things a certain way, But I
(26:39):
believe in God. I don't think that humans are capable
of comprehending what God is. I do appreciate, appreciate this
magnificent design all around us, though, and I feel like
that there are other things in the Bible though, that
are actually more impressive to me, rather than just the
(27:02):
concept of some scientific hints, like, for example, when it
comes to the story of Jesus, some of the things
that he says seemed profoundly wise to me compared to
how most people were thinking hundreds or thousands of years ago. Like,
for example, at one point, Jesus is talking to a
(27:26):
group of people, including the Pharisees. These were religious leaders
who challenged Jesus's authority, and they were trying to trap
Jesus by asking him questions. They asked Jesus whether it
(27:49):
was lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, the Roman emperor.
This was a trap question, they say, because it was
designed so that if he answered either way, it would
have made him unpopular with either the Romans or the
Jewish people. See, because if he said, uh, yes, pay
(28:12):
your taxes, well, then I guess the Jewish people wouldn't
like that, And if he says no, then the Romans
wouldn't like So what do you do? And he replies,
instead of getting caught in this trap, he replies with
give unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and give
unto God the things that are God's. Wow, that's pretty
(28:33):
that's pretty brilliant. Isn't it. Could you come up with
that one off the top of your head, You know,
it's interesting. At another point, of course, when Jesus is
he is in this kind of like uh, I think
it's in it a trial situation. When he's in some
kind of a court with the Pharisees, Jesus actually says,
(28:57):
you are from below, I from above. You are of
this world. I am not of this world. But there
are people out there who say that the story of
Jesus is just a retelling of the old Egyptian story
of Horace. Some people have read this for years, and
(29:22):
I've seen documentaries about it. They say that, you know,
there are parallels between these characters, the Egyptian god Horace
and Jesus, such as a virgin birth and miraculous deeds,
so for example. But see the thing is, when you
talk to scholars, they say that this comparison is actually
(29:46):
not as clear as you think it is. So like
for the virgin birth, some stories are Some people suggest
that the story of Jesus's birth from a virgin Mary
mirrors the Egyptian myth of Horace's birth from Isis, a
goddess who conceived him after the death of her husband Osiris.
(30:07):
The counter argument is that the Horace myth depicts isis
conceiving Horace after Osiris's death, not a virgin birth, and
the Egyptian myth predates the Christian story by centuries. There
is a claim that Horace, like Jesus, had twelve disciples.
The counter argument as there is no consistent account of
(30:27):
Horace having twelve disciples, the number of followers varies in
different versions of the myth. Another one is both Jesus
and Horace are said to have performed miracles. The counter
argument is that while miracles are attributed to Horace as
a god, there is no historical evidence of him walking
on water, raising the dead, or exercising demons. Some claim
(30:50):
that Horace was crucified between two thieves, buried for three days,
and resurrected, similar to Jesus. The counter argument is the
Horace myth does not depict his death or crucifixion, and
he has more commonly depicted as merging with rab the
sun god, and reborn as the sun rises every day.
You can look all this stuff up for yourself, but
it appears that if you've seen these comparisons between the
(31:12):
story of Jesus and Horace. It's not exactly the same thing. I,
oddly enough, have never had a desire, a true desire
to go to Egypt. I'm happy reading about it, I'm
happy watching documentaries about it. I'm happy hearing stories about
people who go there. I've just never felt a big
(31:34):
drive to personally go there. I had a very strange
experience that you have maybe heard me talk about. This was, oh, well,
I guess this was probably back in you know, or
early two let's see, maybe it was like twenty two
thousand and nine or something like that, twenty ten. I
(31:57):
woke up one night and I don't know if this
was a dream or if it was an out of
body experience. I can't tell the difference. But I got
out of my bed one night and I went to
my front door and I opened it, and I had
this experience where there was this glowing being standing there
that looked like a man with a bird's head, and
it was glowing blue, and it was surreal and magical.
(32:19):
I called it the bird God, and the bird God said, so,
the world is about to go through some big changes,
but don't worry. You're gonna be okay, and you're going
to help people to understand. That was like this calming
message that came from this freakish, like five foot tall birdman.
And I would have totally thought that that was just
the most amazing dream ever if it weren't for the
(32:40):
fact that my friend Mobius said that that same night,
the bird god visited him and Mobius said he wanted
Mobias to give me this message, and Moby says, Josh
is never gonna believe me. You gotta go tell him yourself.
And so that is what's shocking to me. And Mobius
(33:02):
told me about his experience before I told him about
my experience. I mean, it's like, this is kind of
stuff that gives me goosebumps. And then right after that
was what is known as the Arab Spring. It was
a series of anti government protests, uprisings, and armed rebellions
that spread all across Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Syria, Bahrain. It
(33:28):
was a big deal. And so I don't know, I mean,
it was just the timing of it was very interesting. But
recently I was in California and I went into this
I was in San Diego actually, and I went into
this gift shop that had like sort of interesting items
from different cultures around the world, and they had this product.
(33:49):
I got it in my hands. I bought this. It's
called Hieroglyphic Decoder, made in Egypt, and it's like a
little cardboard so it's maybe like a four inch cardboard circle.
And it's hard to describe this quickly for you, but basically,
you can slide like this inner whell around and through
(34:10):
a little window, it will show you a depiction of
an Egyptian god, and then it'll give you in another
window the name of the god and what the god
is associated with. So for example, I see here it
says a Nubis, and it shows a picture of a Nubis,
and then it says underworld. And then you spin this
little will and it goes to Horace and it says sky,
(34:31):
and then you go to which is interesting because Horace
is often depicted as a bird god with a bird head,
and this Horus figure was flying around that night according
to Mobius, and he said fly all over there to Josh.
Horace is one of the most significant ancient Egyptian deities.
(34:54):
He served a lot of functions god, kingship, healing, protection,
and he was often just depicted as either a falcon
or like a peregrine falcon, or as a man with
a large falcon head, which is more of what I saw.
(35:16):
But anyway, it says Osiris as the judge. Then you
keep spending a little seth chaos thought science. The roles
attributed to these Egyptian gods. It's just again, it's like
the Marvel Universe thing. These ancient Egyptian deities, the gods
and goddesses that were worshiped there. They represented natural forces
(35:37):
and phenomena, and the Egyptians supported and appeased them through
all kinds of offerings and rituals. And we wonder, like,
where did they come up with this stuff? Was this
totally inventions of fiction? Or are these based upon beings
(35:57):
that were actually interacting with people back then? I mean,
it seems pretty darned elaborate, doesn't it. As I was
spinning through here, I came across Bess. And Bess is
an Egyptian deity that I just learned about a few
years ago. I was at a museum in Denver, Colorado,
(36:18):
and they had this ancient statue of Bess Bes on
this little decoder I have, it says Bess is associated
with children. Bess. Look up Bess. If you've never seen Bess, Bes,
Bess is a little dwarf. He's like a little dwarf
and you can set a little statue of Bess on
(36:40):
your shelf. He's a protector of households and in particular mothers,
children and childbirth. But he's regarded generally as the defender
of everything good in the enemy of all that is bad.
Cool little creature, Bess. I actually, believe it or not,
I bought a completely legitimate best statue from a proprietor
(37:06):
in Egypt, and it's sitting on my shelf protecting my
house as a part of my collection. Oh yeah, when
we come back, I'm going to tell you about this
other god that I don't know. It's one of the funnier,
freakier ones. But look, a lot of people have been
telling me they've discovered something amazing, something new under the pyramids.
(37:26):
Is there any truth to this? I'll explain my opinion
when we come back. I'm Joshua wa Pee Warren. You're
listening to strange things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to
Coast AM Paranormal podcast network, and I'll be right back.
(38:16):
Welcome back to the final segment of this edition of
Strange Things of the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM
Paranormal podcast Network. I am your host, Joshua P. Warren,
And Yeah, one of the funniest of the Egyptian gods.
It's called I don't know, I have no idea how
(38:37):
to pronounce it. Neb coow n e h e b
k a u neb coow. It's just a snake with legs.
This is the big goofy looking snake walking around on
man legs, primordial snake god in ancient Egyptian mythology, all
(39:00):
So Originally considered an evil spirit, he later functions as
a funerary god associated with the afterlife. Says he is
believed to judge the deceased after death and provide their
souls with Ka, the part of the soul that distinguished
the living from the dead. A very powerful, benevolent and
(39:22):
protective deity, companion of the sun god Rah. You know,
it's just it seems like there's just a never ending
roster of these weird oh Egyptian gods. And again is
are these just the equivalent of modern day comic book
(39:42):
characters or were these being based upon actual interactions. I
really don't know. And you know, I guess one of
the reasons that I have never felt like it was
worth me getting on a plane and flying to Egypt
and having that experience is because I don't know that
I would learn that much more from being there than
(40:03):
I can just get from watching the never ending fountain
of ancient Egyptian information which is just cascading all around
us all the time. Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe i'd go
there and have some profound insight, but boy, that's a
that's a major endeavor. I mean, I have a lot
of respect for people who do that. I have a
(40:24):
lot of friends who have been to Egypt numerous times,
and they tell me all about their experiences. Some of
them are quite profound. I talked on this show called
Strange Things, this particular podcast, episode one eighty four about
a book called The Giza power Plant. Episode one eighty
(40:48):
four was called The Amazing Crystal Shaman Miracle Grid. If
you haven't listened to that, go back and listen to it.
Episode one eighty four. I talked about this book that
I'd read called The Giza power Plant Technologies of Ancient
Egypt that was published August first of nineteen ninety eight.
A lot of people think that these deities, these gods,
(41:12):
were some kinds of aliens or interdimensional type beings that
came and gave the Egyptians technology. Maybe it at least
enslaved them to create this technology at that time, which
would act as some kind of a gigantic power source
(41:33):
for them. And we can think that maybe it is
possible that history does not just evolve linearly from primitive
to modern and sophisticated, that maybe every once in a
while it collapses and it starts over again, and then
we get to a point where we look back and
we see some of the ruins of the things that
(41:53):
have collapsed, and maybe we just have no idea how
elaborate ancient Egypt was. But I am in a position
as the wizard of Weird where anytime there's some kind
of breaking news about anything that's supposed to be like fringy,
everybody contacts me and says, what do you think about it?
(42:14):
And so around spring of twenty twenty five, people started
telling me that there are all these scientists that have
discovered that the pyramids on the Giza Plateau have these
giant columns that descend underneath them, I think, like over
a mile, and that there are coils around them, so
they look like Tesla coils perhaps or at least big
(42:36):
electro magnets that are anchored down into some other chambers underground.
And everybody's just like freaking out, say, this is going
to change all of society. And so I started looking
at where this came from, and I had a very
open mind. I hoped it was true. I looked at
the people who put the report out, and then I
(42:56):
started also looking at the technology. And I have to
tell you that I have not seen much that I
would consider credible about this. And instead of me trying
to tell you why that is, I asked Groc what
Groc thought. And I think Groc summed this up way
(43:20):
better than I can. And I told you Groc should
host this show someday. He's gonna take Welcome to Strange
Things with Groc probably even sound like me. Uh. And
here's what Grok said. I'm just gonna read this because
I mean it gives you the details you need. Claims
about columns with coils under the pyramids, particularly the Geezer Pyramids,
(43:41):
have surfaced from a team of researchers led by Corrado
Malanga from the University of Pisa and Filippo Bionde from
the University of Strathclyde in Scotland. This group often associated
with the so called Cofrey Project. I NOW sent a
press release on March fifteen, twenty twenty five, that they
(44:02):
used synthetic aperture radar SAR to detect what they described
as a vast underground complex beneath the Cofrey Pyramid. They
reported finding eight vertical cylindrical structures, sometimes referred to as
columns or shafts, extending deep underground up to six hundred
(44:23):
and forty eight meters in some accounts, along with spiral
pathways or coils surrounding them, and two large cubic chambers below.
These findings were presented as evidence of a potential ancient
energy energy system or a hidden city, sparking widespread speculation online.
The idea of coils specifically tied to these columns seemed
(44:46):
to stem from their interpretations of their spiral pathways, which
some alternative theorists and social media users have likened to
electromagnetic coils, suggesting a purpose life energy generation coming from
figures like Nikola Tesla, Christopher Dunn. Some posts and articles
(45:09):
have claimed these structures could be part of a pre
flood civilization's power grid. However, if the researchers themselves, including
spokesperson Nicole Chicilo, have not explicitly used the term coils
in a technical sense, but rather describe spiral pathways, leaving
room for lots of interpretation, mainstream Egyptologists and experts like
(45:33):
doctor Zahi Hawass and professor Lawrence Knyers have strongly disputed
these claims, arguing there's no credible evidence for such deep
structures and the SAAR technology cannot penetrate to the depths
claimed hundreds or thousands of meters. They assert the findings
(45:54):
lack peer reviewed support and are likely exaggerated or misinterpreted.
Hawas calls them baseless. Conyer's notes the radar's practical limits
closer to a few dozen meters. Thus, while Malanga, Beyond
and their team are primary sources of the structural claims,
the coil's notion appears to be an embellishment from our
(46:18):
alternative circles rather than a direct assertion from the researcher's
official statements. Okay, I know that was kind of boring
to hear me read that. But I didn't have all
those details in front of me, so I figure, I
may as well tell you I've read all these details.
I looked at the source material, I looked at the technology.
I also understand that people like doctor Zahi Hawas are
(46:43):
trying to protect the secrets of Egypt and the integrity
of their whole approach to history. And I mean, I
know that you can't just always believe at face value
what somebody like Hawas necessarily says, because he has a
(47:03):
lot of interest in there. So, but what I can
tell you is that it does seem to me. And
I could sit here and give you many other examples
that when you look at the technology, the technology they're
talking about could not document what they are claiming, to
my knowledge, to this extent that's circling on the on
(47:23):
the on the web. Okay, And uh, I don't like
I say, there's well, even like it said right here,
there's not. There's not enough peer review. So look, is
there something to it? There may be. I'm not saying
that there isn't. But at this point, I the Great
and Terrible Joshua be Warren have not seen enough evidence
(47:47):
to make me feel like that these stories are credible,
and you know, maybe it's one of those things like, hey,
if it is real, it's going to be part of
a gigantic cover up Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost
Ark stuff where the everything ends up in the warehouse
and we never get to see it. Could be one
of those cases. But for now, I just have to
(48:08):
tell you I have not seen the evidence. All right,
my friends, looks like the clock is almost goddess. By
the way, I did go visit a reiki center in
Las Vegas yesterday. I didn't get a reiki treatment, but
I talked to them about it, and so pretty soon
I hope to have a report for you on what
my personal experience was with a top notch pro reiki pro.
(48:33):
When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro and uh,
that's what's been happening lately. All right, take a deep breath,
if you can close your eyes. Here it is, my friends,

Ready to be amazed by the wizard of weird. This
is Strange Joshua war I am Joshua B. Warren, and
each week on this show, I'll be bringing you a
brand new my blowing content, news exercises and weird experiments
(01:18):
you can do at home, and a lot more. On
this edition of the show, Gods of Egypt and Scientific
Truths in the Bible. This is a fascinating topic. Let
me explain first why I have decided to talk about
(01:40):
this now. As you may or may not know, I
was born and raised in the Blue Ridge Mountains of
western North Carolina. It seemed like there was a church
on almost every corner I think I can. I can
say I was born on the buckle of the Bible belt.
And I say that confidently because the Reverend Billy Graham
(02:02):
was also born and raised there and had his ministry there,
and he is arguably, or he's passed on now, but
he was arguably the most influential Christian minister of the
twentieth century. He was known as the pastor to Presidents
because he was the spiritual counsel to thirteen US presidents,
(02:25):
starting with Harry S. Truman, even President Donald Trump. And
of course his son Franklin carries on the tradition. So
growing up in the Southern Baptist tradition as I did,
I was very familiar with the Old Testament the New Testament.
It was kind of interesting as I got older and
(02:46):
I started meeting friends from different places who had different religions.
I would get invited to go to a different type
of church and check out the scene. You know, here's
a Pentecostal church or here's an Episcopal church. I ended
up dating a girl for a while who was Catholic.
That was always interesting to go into the Catholic church.
The Catholic church is uh is kind of exciting because
(03:08):
it always reminds me of sort of like a Marvel,
a Marvel universe with all of these intense characters, these
villains and heroes, and then they're the buildings are big
and dramatic, and uh sometimes there are body parts on display,
(03:29):
and they have you know, there are all these magical
powers you could talk about, and you have holy water
so you could fight vampires and werewolves. And you know,
I'm exaggerating a little bit, but the Catholic Church definitely
is a very special institution. But uh, you know, as I,
as I was trying to figure out what I wanted
(03:52):
to believe personally, uh you know, I was exploring. I
was open minded, exploring different concepts and mindsets, I ended
up buying this book. I actually have a copy of
it in my hands right now. I think this was
originally published in eighteen sixty by a man named William
Henry Burr. It's called self Contradictions of the Bible. And
(04:14):
this is almost one hundred pages of just verse after
verse after verse, with one verse contradicting another in some
form of fashion. And so some of the more obvious
ones that a lot of people have probably heard about.
I mean, if you go back and you just start
look look at the beginning of the Bible. In Genesis,
(04:35):
the creation accounts. Genesis one describes a six day creation
with man and woman created simultaneously after animals, while Genesis
two presents a different order, with man first, then animals,
and then finally women or a woman next. We have
the order of creation. Genesis one states that light was
created on the first day, while the sun, moon, and
(04:55):
stars were not created until the fourth day. Creation of animals,
Genesis one says foul were created from the waters, while
Genesis two says they reformed from the ground. But you know,
and you know, then there are other parts of the
Old Testament. You might give that a pass and be like, well,
come on, we're talking about the beginning of creation. Like
nobody's going to get that right. There are sections in
(05:16):
this book where it like it says, okay, for example,
God forbids human sacrifice, and it gives these these verses
about that, and then turns right around says God accepts
human sacrifices and he gives verses about that. Or you
get up here into the New Testament and it says,
(05:37):
you know, Christ, he taught non resistance, says resist not evil,
but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn
to him the other. Also he also said, all they
that take the sword shall perish with the sword. But
then it turns right around in another chapter and says
he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment
(05:59):
and buy one. And then of course Jesus himself made
a scourge of small chords like a whip and drove
the people from the temple. You know, if you're interested
in this, and I mean, like I say, there's almost
one hundred pages, Yeah, I'm sure you could probably find
this online for free because it's public domain pdf. Self
contradictions of the Bible. So that was one thing that
(06:23):
perplexed me a lot when I was young and I
was trying to figure out what I wanted to believe.
And it's hard to reconcile that if you are one
of these people who takes the King James version of
the Holy Bible as the literal truth, literal written in
(06:44):
stone truth. And I have always felt like that, no
matter how much you do or do not believe in
the Bible, I think that it's impossible for us to
know what the actual original Bible said it was written
thousands of years ago, over a period of I believe
centuries by different many many different authors, and who knows
(07:10):
exactly what. We've never seen the original language, and you know,
some of the original versions of this Bible. And of
course I interviewed one of my friends, Dell Alan Hoffman,
who went back and studied Aramaic, which is the language
that Jesus supposedly spoke, and he is able to interpret
things differently than how that a lot of people who
(07:33):
don't speak Arabic would interpret them well, regardless of all that, look,
I was recently traveling. I was at an airport, and
while I was waiting for my plane, I went into
the airport gift shop, just knocking around, and of course
I always go and look over at the books and
see what people are reading before they get on the plane.
(07:55):
And I found this little book, kind of a pocket
size book, also about one hundred pages long. It's called
scientific Facts in the Bible. One hundred reasons to Believe
the Bible is Supernatural in Origin. The hmm, what an
(08:16):
interesting subtitle when hundred reasons to believe the Bible is
supernatural in origin? It's written by a man named Ray Comfort.
The book was only eight dollars and ninety nine cents,
and so I started reading this on the airplane, and
(08:37):
I thought that this guy makes some very interesting points,
and I want to share some of these points with
you and see what you think about it. He says,
I hope you are skeptical. Suppose I believed that I
was God and that I thought the whole universe revolved
(08:57):
around me. The confident youth waited for my reaction to
his question, and I simply answered, I think that you
would be a normal human being. He was a little
taken aback that I wasn't impressed by his outrageous statement,
and said, what do you mean? And I explained by
asking him where he thought he stood, and he told
(09:19):
me here. He told me that it was where he stood.
The author goes on to say every human being thinks
the same way we define here as being where we
are everything and everyone else is there. Each of us
thinks that we are the center of the universe. He says,
define now the word now for me, tell me when
(09:41):
it is. You can't the split second that you tried
to pinpoint, now it becomes then. I often find myself
explaining the nature of now. After I ask people if
they've ever stolen something, this is their typical answer to
the question, Yes I have, but that was in the past,
And I explained to them that everything is in the past.
You are even forced to define the reading of the
(10:03):
sentence as something you did in the past. These thoughts
are a little strange, and you may be thinking that
there are some things that we can still be sure of.
The sun still rises, the sky is still blue, and
up is still up? Not true. The sun never rises.
The earth turns, giving us the illusion that the sun
(10:24):
is rising although it remains still. It seems to be still,
but it's actually moving through the universe. The sky is
not blue. Ask any restaurant, in any astronaut. It has
no color. Neither is up up. Remember the Earth is round.
What is up to someone at the north pole is
not up to someone at the south pole. In fact,
(10:45):
if everyone on the Earth pointed to where we thought
was up, we would all point in different directions. So
many things that we think our absolutes are not. History
has shown us that even what science defines as truth
today may be laughed at in one hundred years. What then,
can we be sure of is there such a thing
(11:06):
as an absolute unchanging truth. We will look up this
subject in this publication. We're coming up on a break.
I think you can see already why that I find
this interesting because he is right that we tend to
think in absolutes, and we put all this emphasis on
(11:30):
science and technology, and yet it's constantly changing. I mean,
if you went back one hundred years, which is not
that long ago, Dick van Dyke was still alive. You
go back one hundred years and you tell them what
the world's like today, a lot of scientists would say
that it's impossible. You're out of your mind. Okay, we're
(11:51):
going to get into some specifics though. What are supposedly
some specific examples of scientific facts in the Bible that
might make us believe the Bible is supernatural and origin.
Pretty profound concept. Really, Hey, if you like this kind

I am Joshua Pee Warren, and you are listening to
Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast am
Paranormal podcast network. And I will be right back. Welcome
(13:30):
back to Strange Things on the iHeart for you and
Coast to Coast a m paranormal podcast network. I have
your host, the Wizards of Weird, Joshua V. Warren, beaming
into your wormhole brain from my studio in Sin City,
Las Vegas, Nevada, where every day is golden and every
(13:50):
night is silver. I Gietato Zume. You know, Las Vegas
is not far from the historic Route sixty six that
used to be the big road that people would use
to travel across a good part of this country before
the interstate system. And you can go down to you know,
(14:13):
various places in California, for example, and they're a little
Route sixty six gift shops and restaurants and diners is
all over the place, and I want to point this
out real quick. I am very particular about accepting gifts
from people. People offer me things all the time, and
(14:35):
I have to be careful. If you want to know
what I'm talking about. I think this applies to everybody.
Go back and listen. I did a show not too
long ago, episode two twenty five called be Careful about
accepting gifts Psychic Vampires. But I got contacted by a
listener named Danny, and I'm familiar with him to a
(15:00):
certain extent, and so he wanted to send me something.
I said okay, and I opened up this package. Turns
out he works for this company in Gallop, New Mexico,
and it's called Kestrel Leather and they make all of
these amazing, high quality leather products. And because I'm a
(15:23):
part of Coast to Coast am, he sent me a
stack of leather coasters. Isn't that clever? They're really nice,
well made. I'm not being paid to promote the fellow,
by the way, but here the coaster. It shows Root
sixty six and Scott the signing there that says Root
(15:44):
sixty six, and then there's a van going down the
road and above it as a flying saucerer with an
alien visible shooting a beam down. So I now have these,
so it's like a coast to coast coast. I dow
have these strewn around my home and office. So that's
that's really nice. Thank you so much, Danny. And really,
(16:07):
I mean again, I'm not being paid to endorse anything.
But you know, if you're into leather, go look at
the website Kestrel leather dot com. That's k E S
t R E L L E A t h E
R Kestrel leather dot com. There and Gallop, New Mexico.
Cool gift though all right, back to the topic at hand.
(16:28):
I have this book by Ray Comfort called Scientific Facts
in the Bible, one hundred Reasons to Believe the Bible
is supernatural in origin. Looks like this may have been
first published in two thousand and one. The author goes
on to say the Bible does not attempt to defend
its inspiration. Genesis simply opens with the words God said.
(16:50):
It repeats these words nine times in the first chapter.
The phrase the Lord spoke is used five hundred and
sixty times in the first five books of the Bible,
and at least thirty eight hundred times in the whole
of the Old Testament. Isaiah claims at least forty times
his message came directly from God, Ezekiel sixty times, Jeremiah
(17:11):
one hundred times. Interesting context for all this and so,
but now let's get onto the meat, because you go
through self contradictions of the Bible, and it's saying you
can't trust this text basically because it appears to us
this verse contradicts that. Okay, well maybe this is sort
(17:32):
of like the flip side. So here here are just
some examples. This is about the laws of hygiene, medical science,
and the Bible. And it says here that the Encyclopedia
Britannica documents. In eighteen forty five, a young doctor in Vienna,
doctor Simbelweiss, was horrified at the terrible death rate of
(17:56):
women who gave birth in hospitals. As many as thirty
percent died a childbirth. The doctor noted that other doctors
would examine the bodies of patients who died and then,
without washing their hands, go straight to the next ward
and examine expectant mothers. This was their normal practice because
the presence of microscopic diseases was unknown. Semilwise insisted that
(18:20):
doctors wash their hands before each examination, and the death
rate immediately dropped to two percent. And then he goes
on to say, look at the specific instructions God gave
thousands of years ago to tell his people for when
they encounter disease. Quote, and when he who has a disease, uh,
(18:40):
who has a discharge, is cleansed of his discharge, then
he shall count for himself seven days for his cleansing,
wash his clothes, and bathe his body in running water,
and then he shall be clean. That's from Leviticus fifteen thirteen.
And he says until recent years, doctors wash their hands
in a bowl of water, lee being invisible germs on
(19:01):
their hands. However, the Bible specifically says to wash under
running water. That's guidance from thousands of years ago. He
goes on to talk about a lot of these different
scientists and physicists who believed in the Bible, Isaac Newton,
(19:23):
Michael Faraday, Pascal past your Kepler, Galileo talks about how
the Bible speaks of the Big Bang, says, try to
think of any explosion that has produced order. Actually, I'm
(19:46):
going to get back to that one a second. I
don't want to sit here and like I can't. I
don't have permission to say and read this whole book
to you, right, But it has all these examples in
it of like the Bible speaks of a common ancest
Researchers suggest that virtually all modern men, ninety nine percent
of them, says one scientist, are closely related genetically and
(20:07):
shared genes with one male ancestor dubbed y chromosome atom.
We are finding that humans have very very shallow genetic
roots which go back very recently to one ancestor, and
that indicates that there was an origin in a specific
location on the globe, and then it spread out from there.
I've talked about that before that how that people have
(20:33):
pointed out that there is like one common ancestor, well,
the Luca, if you want to take it all the
way back to the beginning. There's a section of this
book where it talks about how that and I didn't
do a very good job of I think I did
a bad job of marking some of the examples I
(20:54):
wanted to point out from this book. But he talks
about how that in the Bible to the weather, and
it talks about how that the Bible and the water cycle.
The scriptures inform us all the rivers run in the sea,
yet the sea is not full to the place from
(21:15):
which the rivers come. There they return again. That's an Ecclesiastes,
he says. This statement alone may not seem profound, but
when considered with other Biblical passages, it becomes remarkable. The
Mississippi River dumps approximately five hundred and eighteen billion gallons
of water every twenty four hours into the Gulf of Mexico.
(21:35):
Where does all that water go? And that's just one
of thousands of rivers. The answer lies in the hydrologic
cycle so well brought out in the Bible. Psalm tells
us See one point five seven, says he causes the
vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He
makes lightning for the rain. Ecclesiastes says, if the clouds
(21:57):
are full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth.
The Book of Amos ninety six, he calls for the
waters of the sea and pours them out on the
face of the earth. The author goes on to say
the idea of the complete water cycle was not fully
understood by science until seventeenth century. However, more than two
(22:17):
thousand years prior to the discoveries of all these different scientists,
the scriptures spoke of the water cycle and how that works.
He talks about how the Bible talks about the first
law of thermodynamics, so you know, how the immune system.
(22:39):
But he kind of concludes here by saying, you know,
we scientists are always talking about the big Bang. There
was just a big explosion and then all this stuff happened, right,
And he says, try to think of any explosion that
has produced order. Does a terrorist bomb create harmony? Big
(23:02):
bangs cause chaos? How could a big bang produce a rose? Apple, trees, fish, sunsets,
the seasons, hummingbirds, polar bears, thousands of birds and animals,
each with its own eyes, nose, and mouth. He said,
try this interesting experiment. Empty your garage of every piece
of metal, wood, paint, rubber, and plastic. Make sure there
(23:25):
is nothing there nothing. Then wait for ten years and
see if a mercedes evolves. Try it. If it doesn't appear,
leave it for twenty years. If that doesn't work, try
it for one hundred years. Then try leaving it for
ten thousand years. Admittedly, it is pretty hard to believe
that it could appear. However, here's what will produce the
(23:47):
necessary blind faith to make the evolutionary process believable. Leave
it for two hundred and fifty million years. These are
thought provoking. These are thought provoking. I think you get
the point. And somewhere in here, I mean there's there's
(24:10):
there's a combination that the truth is somewhere in the combination,
but of arguments between these two books, And maybe I
shouldn't say arguments things that are pointed out in these
two books. But here's something that I've also thought was
really interesting that I've never talked about. There are people
out there who say, who whoa, whoa. Everybody knows this
(24:31):
story about Jesus, his life and his crucifixion and his resurrection.
That's just the story of the Egyptian god Horus that
was told thousands of years before Jesus was even born. Jesus,
the Jesus story is just a fictional rip off of
(24:52):
the Horror story. Is that is there any truth to that? Well,
let's let's look at that when we come back as well. Uh,
it's this, it's so hard to imagine life thousands of
years ago and how to interpret all this stuff. I'm
Joshua PE Warren. You're listening to Strange Things on the
iHeart Radio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network,
(25:16):
and I'll be back after these important messages. Welcome back
(25:53):
to Strange Things on the iHeart Radio and Coast to
Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I'm your host, Joshua P. Warren,
and this is the show where the unusual becomes usual. Yeah,
you can look at self contradictions of the Bible, and
(26:15):
you can say, well, obviously, it was written over hundreds
of years by lots of different people in different languages,
and you're just gonna have some contradictions. So you know,
you can't take it literally when it comes to supposed
scientific truths in the Bible. I suppose even that as
a matter of interpreting things a certain way, But I
(26:39):
believe in God. I don't think that humans are capable
of comprehending what God is. I do appreciate, appreciate this
magnificent design all around us, though, and I feel like
that there are other things in the Bible though, that
are actually more impressive to me, rather than just the
(27:02):
concept of some scientific hints, like, for example, when it
comes to the story of Jesus, some of the things
that he says seemed profoundly wise to me compared to
how most people were thinking hundreds or thousands of years ago. Like,
for example, at one point, Jesus is talking to a
(27:26):
group of people, including the Pharisees. These were religious leaders
who challenged Jesus's authority, and they were trying to trap
Jesus by asking him questions. They asked Jesus whether it
(27:49):
was lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, the Roman emperor.
This was a trap question, they say, because it was
designed so that if he answered either way, it would
have made him unpopular with either the Romans or the
Jewish people. See, because if he said, uh, yes, pay
(28:12):
your taxes, well, then I guess the Jewish people wouldn't
like that, And if he says no, then the Romans
wouldn't like So what do you do? And he replies,
instead of getting caught in this trap, he replies with
give unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and give
unto God the things that are God's. Wow, that's pretty
(28:33):
that's pretty brilliant. Isn't it. Could you come up with
that one off the top of your head, You know,
it's interesting. At another point, of course, when Jesus is
he is in this kind of like uh, I think
it's in it a trial situation. When he's in some
kind of a court with the Pharisees, Jesus actually says,
(28:57):
you are from below, I from above. You are of
this world. I am not of this world. But there
are people out there who say that the story of
Jesus is just a retelling of the old Egyptian story
of Horace. Some people have read this for years, and
(29:22):
I've seen documentaries about it. They say that, you know,
there are parallels between these characters, the Egyptian god Horace
and Jesus, such as a virgin birth and miraculous deeds,
so for example. But see the thing is, when you
talk to scholars, they say that this comparison is actually
(29:46):
not as clear as you think it is. So like
for the virgin birth, some stories are Some people suggest
that the story of Jesus's birth from a virgin Mary
mirrors the Egyptian myth of Horace's birth from Isis, a
goddess who conceived him after the death of her husband Osiris.
(30:07):
The counter argument is that the Horace myth depicts isis
conceiving Horace after Osiris's death, not a virgin birth, and
the Egyptian myth predates the Christian story by centuries. There
is a claim that Horace, like Jesus, had twelve disciples.
The counter argument as there is no consistent account of
(30:27):
Horace having twelve disciples, the number of followers varies in
different versions of the myth. Another one is both Jesus
and Horace are said to have performed miracles. The counter
argument is that while miracles are attributed to Horace as
a god, there is no historical evidence of him walking
on water, raising the dead, or exercising demons. Some claim
(30:50):
that Horace was crucified between two thieves, buried for three days,
and resurrected, similar to Jesus. The counter argument is the
Horace myth does not depict his death or crucifixion, and
he has more commonly depicted as merging with rab the
sun god, and reborn as the sun rises every day.
You can look all this stuff up for yourself, but
it appears that if you've seen these comparisons between the
(31:12):
story of Jesus and Horace. It's not exactly the same thing. I,
oddly enough, have never had a desire, a true desire
to go to Egypt. I'm happy reading about it, I'm
happy watching documentaries about it. I'm happy hearing stories about
people who go there. I've just never felt a big
(31:34):
drive to personally go there. I had a very strange
experience that you have maybe heard me talk about. This was, oh, well,
I guess this was probably back in you know, or
early two let's see, maybe it was like twenty two
thousand and nine or something like that, twenty ten. I
(31:57):
woke up one night and I don't know if this
was a dream or if it was an out of
body experience. I can't tell the difference. But I got
out of my bed one night and I went to
my front door and I opened it, and I had
this experience where there was this glowing being standing there
that looked like a man with a bird's head, and
it was glowing blue, and it was surreal and magical.
(32:19):
I called it the bird God, and the bird God said, so,
the world is about to go through some big changes,
but don't worry. You're gonna be okay, and you're going
to help people to understand. That was like this calming
message that came from this freakish, like five foot tall birdman.
And I would have totally thought that that was just
the most amazing dream ever if it weren't for the
(32:40):
fact that my friend Mobius said that that same night,
the bird god visited him and Mobius said he wanted
Mobias to give me this message, and Moby says, Josh
is never gonna believe me. You gotta go tell him yourself.
And so that is what's shocking to me. And Mobius
(33:02):
told me about his experience before I told him about
my experience. I mean, it's like, this is kind of
stuff that gives me goosebumps. And then right after that
was what is known as the Arab Spring. It was
a series of anti government protests, uprisings, and armed rebellions
that spread all across Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Syria, Bahrain. It
(33:28):
was a big deal. And so I don't know, I mean,
it was just the timing of it was very interesting. But
recently I was in California and I went into this
I was in San Diego actually, and I went into
this gift shop that had like sort of interesting items
from different cultures around the world, and they had this product.
(33:49):
I got it in my hands. I bought this. It's
called Hieroglyphic Decoder, made in Egypt, and it's like a
little cardboard so it's maybe like a four inch cardboard circle.
And it's hard to describe this quickly for you, but basically,
you can slide like this inner whell around and through
(34:10):
a little window, it will show you a depiction of
an Egyptian god, and then it'll give you in another
window the name of the god and what the god
is associated with. So for example, I see here it
says a Nubis, and it shows a picture of a Nubis,
and then it says underworld. And then you spin this
little will and it goes to Horace and it says sky,
(34:31):
and then you go to which is interesting because Horace
is often depicted as a bird god with a bird head,
and this Horus figure was flying around that night according
to Mobius, and he said fly all over there to Josh.
Horace is one of the most significant ancient Egyptian deities.
(34:54):
He served a lot of functions god, kingship, healing, protection,
and he was often just depicted as either a falcon
or like a peregrine falcon, or as a man with
a large falcon head, which is more of what I saw.
(35:16):
But anyway, it says Osiris as the judge. Then you
keep spending a little seth chaos thought science. The roles
attributed to these Egyptian gods. It's just again, it's like
the Marvel Universe thing. These ancient Egyptian deities, the gods
and goddesses that were worshiped there. They represented natural forces
(35:37):
and phenomena, and the Egyptians supported and appeased them through
all kinds of offerings and rituals. And we wonder, like,
where did they come up with this stuff? Was this
totally inventions of fiction? Or are these based upon beings
(35:57):
that were actually interacting with people back then? I mean,
it seems pretty darned elaborate, doesn't it. As I was
spinning through here, I came across Bess. And Bess is
an Egyptian deity that I just learned about a few
years ago. I was at a museum in Denver, Colorado,
(36:18):
and they had this ancient statue of Bess Bes on
this little decoder I have, it says Bess is associated
with children. Bess. Look up Bess. If you've never seen Bess, Bes,
Bess is a little dwarf. He's like a little dwarf
and you can set a little statue of Bess on
(36:40):
your shelf. He's a protector of households and in particular mothers,
children and childbirth. But he's regarded generally as the defender
of everything good in the enemy of all that is bad.
Cool little creature, Bess. I actually, believe it or not,
I bought a completely legitimate best statue from a proprietor
(37:06):
in Egypt, and it's sitting on my shelf protecting my
house as a part of my collection. Oh yeah, when
we come back, I'm going to tell you about this
other god that I don't know. It's one of the funnier,
freakier ones. But look, a lot of people have been
telling me they've discovered something amazing, something new under the pyramids.
(37:26):
Is there any truth to this? I'll explain my opinion
when we come back. I'm Joshua wa Pee Warren. You're
listening to strange things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to
Coast AM Paranormal podcast network, and I'll be right back.
(38:16):
Welcome back to the final segment of this edition of
Strange Things of the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM
Paranormal podcast Network. I am your host, Joshua P. Warren,
And Yeah, one of the funniest of the Egyptian gods.
It's called I don't know, I have no idea how
(38:37):
to pronounce it. Neb coow n e h e b
k a u neb coow. It's just a snake with legs.
This is the big goofy looking snake walking around on
man legs, primordial snake god in ancient Egyptian mythology, all
(39:00):
So Originally considered an evil spirit, he later functions as
a funerary god associated with the afterlife. Says he is
believed to judge the deceased after death and provide their
souls with Ka, the part of the soul that distinguished
the living from the dead. A very powerful, benevolent and
(39:22):
protective deity, companion of the sun god Rah. You know,
it's just it seems like there's just a never ending
roster of these weird oh Egyptian gods. And again is
are these just the equivalent of modern day comic book
(39:42):
characters or were these being based upon actual interactions. I
really don't know. And you know, I guess one of
the reasons that I have never felt like it was
worth me getting on a plane and flying to Egypt
and having that experience is because I don't know that
I would learn that much more from being there than
(40:03):
I can just get from watching the never ending fountain
of ancient Egyptian information which is just cascading all around
us all the time. Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe i'd go
there and have some profound insight, but boy, that's a
that's a major endeavor. I mean, I have a lot
of respect for people who do that. I have a
(40:24):
lot of friends who have been to Egypt numerous times,
and they tell me all about their experiences. Some of
them are quite profound. I talked on this show called
Strange Things, this particular podcast, episode one eighty four about
a book called The Giza power Plant. Episode one eighty
(40:48):
four was called The Amazing Crystal Shaman Miracle Grid. If
you haven't listened to that, go back and listen to it.
Episode one eighty four. I talked about this book that
I'd read called The Giza power Plant Technologies of Ancient
Egypt that was published August first of nineteen ninety eight.
A lot of people think that these deities, these gods,
(41:12):
were some kinds of aliens or interdimensional type beings that
came and gave the Egyptians technology. Maybe it at least
enslaved them to create this technology at that time, which
would act as some kind of a gigantic power source
(41:33):
for them. And we can think that maybe it is
possible that history does not just evolve linearly from primitive
to modern and sophisticated, that maybe every once in a
while it collapses and it starts over again, and then
we get to a point where we look back and
we see some of the ruins of the things that
(41:53):
have collapsed, and maybe we just have no idea how
elaborate ancient Egypt was. But I am in a position
as the wizard of Weird where anytime there's some kind
of breaking news about anything that's supposed to be like fringy,
everybody contacts me and says, what do you think about it?
(42:14):
And so around spring of twenty twenty five, people started
telling me that there are all these scientists that have
discovered that the pyramids on the Giza Plateau have these
giant columns that descend underneath them, I think, like over
a mile, and that there are coils around them, so
they look like Tesla coils perhaps or at least big
(42:36):
electro magnets that are anchored down into some other chambers underground.
And everybody's just like freaking out, say, this is going
to change all of society. And so I started looking
at where this came from, and I had a very
open mind. I hoped it was true. I looked at
the people who put the report out, and then I
(42:56):
started also looking at the technology. And I have to
tell you that I have not seen much that I
would consider credible about this. And instead of me trying
to tell you why that is, I asked Groc what
Groc thought. And I think Groc summed this up way
(43:20):
better than I can. And I told you Groc should
host this show someday. He's gonna take Welcome to Strange
Things with Groc probably even sound like me. Uh. And
here's what Grok said. I'm just gonna read this because
I mean it gives you the details you need. Claims
about columns with coils under the pyramids, particularly the Geezer Pyramids,
(43:41):
have surfaced from a team of researchers led by Corrado
Malanga from the University of Pisa and Filippo Bionde from
the University of Strathclyde in Scotland. This group often associated
with the so called Cofrey Project. I NOW sent a
press release on March fifteen, twenty twenty five, that they
(44:02):
used synthetic aperture radar SAR to detect what they described
as a vast underground complex beneath the Cofrey Pyramid. They
reported finding eight vertical cylindrical structures, sometimes referred to as
columns or shafts, extending deep underground up to six hundred
(44:23):
and forty eight meters in some accounts, along with spiral
pathways or coils surrounding them, and two large cubic chambers below.
These findings were presented as evidence of a potential ancient
energy energy system or a hidden city, sparking widespread speculation online.
The idea of coils specifically tied to these columns seemed
(44:46):
to stem from their interpretations of their spiral pathways, which
some alternative theorists and social media users have likened to
electromagnetic coils, suggesting a purpose life energy generation coming from
figures like Nikola Tesla, Christopher Dunn. Some posts and articles
(45:09):
have claimed these structures could be part of a pre
flood civilization's power grid. However, if the researchers themselves, including
spokesperson Nicole Chicilo, have not explicitly used the term coils
in a technical sense, but rather describe spiral pathways, leaving
room for lots of interpretation, mainstream Egyptologists and experts like
(45:33):
doctor Zahi Hawass and professor Lawrence Knyers have strongly disputed
these claims, arguing there's no credible evidence for such deep
structures and the SAAR technology cannot penetrate to the depths
claimed hundreds or thousands of meters. They assert the findings
(45:54):
lack peer reviewed support and are likely exaggerated or misinterpreted.
Hawas calls them baseless. Conyer's notes the radar's practical limits
closer to a few dozen meters. Thus, while Malanga, Beyond
and their team are primary sources of the structural claims,
the coil's notion appears to be an embellishment from our
(46:18):
alternative circles rather than a direct assertion from the researcher's
official statements. Okay, I know that was kind of boring
to hear me read that. But I didn't have all
those details in front of me, so I figure, I
may as well tell you I've read all these details.
I looked at the source material, I looked at the technology.
I also understand that people like doctor Zahi Hawas are
(46:43):
trying to protect the secrets of Egypt and the integrity
of their whole approach to history. And I mean, I
know that you can't just always believe at face value
what somebody like Hawas necessarily says, because he has a
(47:03):
lot of interest in there. So, but what I can
tell you is that it does seem to me. And
I could sit here and give you many other examples
that when you look at the technology, the technology they're
talking about could not document what they are claiming, to
my knowledge, to this extent that's circling on the on
(47:23):
the on the web. Okay, And uh, I don't like
I say, there's well, even like it said right here,
there's not. There's not enough peer review. So look, is
there something to it? There may be. I'm not saying
that there isn't. But at this point, I the Great
and Terrible Joshua be Warren have not seen enough evidence
(47:47):
to make me feel like that these stories are credible,
and you know, maybe it's one of those things like, hey,
if it is real, it's going to be part of
a gigantic cover up Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost
Ark stuff where the everything ends up in the warehouse
and we never get to see it. Could be one
of those cases. But for now, I just have to
(48:08):
tell you I have not seen the evidence. All right,
my friends, looks like the clock is almost goddess. By
the way, I did go visit a reiki center in
Las Vegas yesterday. I didn't get a reiki treatment, but
I talked to them about it, and so pretty soon
I hope to have a report for you on what
my personal experience was with a top notch pro reiki pro.
(48:33):
When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro and uh,
that's what's been happening lately. All right, take a deep breath,
if you can close your eyes. Here it is, my friends,
