Lance Weaver is a geologist, desert guide, and amateur archaeologist who explores alternative narratives of history since the last ice age. We catch up about new developments in his pole shift research before diving into his paleo-archaeological research on pre-Columbian contact between the Mediterranean and Mesoamerican cultures. Along the way we wrestle with convergent iconography on both sides of the ocean, bird gods with handbags, anomalous Sumerian artifacts, the true location of Babylon, and the Sons of Light.
