A good podcast

Here's one that didn't make it into my feed because the feed link is broken. It is the Phoenixfire podcast of John Anthony West. If you are not familiar with him he is the "rogue egyptologist" driving the effort to explain the water weathering on the Sphinx and the Sphinx enclosure in Egypt. His first six podcasts covered the history of his work in this regard as well as the response from the scientific and Egyptological community. I find his theories interesting and he is fun to listen to besides.

His latest podcast is "Atlantis here, Atlantis there, Atlantis Damn Near Everywhere!".

Enjoy!

i got to see the sphinx first hand. his observations about the weathering seem right on to me. no way is that erosion anything but water erosion.

Thanks for the comment. Web stats are nice but not quite the same thing. I have been planning on writing some more about Gurdjieff soon from my somewhat outsider perspective.
