36.16 - MU Podcast - Beneath the Pyramids
Welcome back to Plus+! In 1817, two explorers ventured into a mysterious network of catacombs beneath Egypt's Giza Plateau, only for the passages to disappear from the historical record. Nearly 200 years later, Andrew Collins and his team followed forgotten maps to an ancient tomb, uncovering a labyrinth of dark tunnels, hidden chambers, and strange local legends that raised new questions about what lies beneath the pyramids. Welcome to your Plus+ Extension, and thank you all for joining us on Plus+! Today we wrap up our This Hollow Earth saga with episode 08 to present some bizarre accounts from traumatized folks sharing their experiences with the inner-earthians. Including the bizarre accounts of the tale of Richard Sharpe Shaver, who made claims about telepathy and evil deeds being committed in underground caves by some leftover loser turds called the Dero. Stranded long ago from an ancient race that abandoned them here with all of their fantastic technology to torment the surface dwellers. Beneath the Pyramids Publisher: A.R.E.

36.15 - MU Podcast - This Hollow Earth - Episode 06: The Coming Race and Vril Power
Welcome to Mysterious Universe Season 36, episode number 15! If you are not already on Plus+, your FOMO must be a-flutter, because this is episode 06 of our This Hollow Earth Saga. Sign up in the link below to catch up on this incredible journey. Today, on episode 06, we get to one of the most important discussions of the hollow earth’s actuality, found within the pages of the novel, THE COMING RACE AND VRIL POWER by Edward Bulwer Lytton. This is the so-called “fictional story” that inspired one of the most sacred beliefs of the Third Reich and ushered in an ambitious and bizarre point of interest for these well-dressed delinquents. Then for Plus+, we ask what if the Great Pyramids of Egypt were built to preserve an entire civilization rather than bury its kings? Exploring Scott Creighton's The Secret Chamber of Osiris, we follow his investigation into ancient flood legends, the sixteen pyramids, and a mysterious location beyond the Giza plateau where he believes a hidden chamber may still exist. From disputed hieroglyphics and forgotten engineering techniques to an unexpected excavation in the desert, it's a wild journey into one of Egypt's enduring mysteries.

36.14 - MU Podcast - The Tayos Caves Mystery Part 1
Welcome back to MU! Deep beneath the Ecuadorian jungle, explorer Juan Moricz claimed to have discovered an enormous cave system containing strange architecture, golden artifacts, and a library of ancient knowledge written on thousands of metal plates. From conflicting eyewitness accounts and Father Crespi’s bizarre collection to Erich von Däniken and a massive 1976 expedition involving Neil Armstrong, we follow the Tayos mystery as one extraordinary claim turns into a decades-long obsession nobody has been able to completely settle. And for your Plus+ extension we enter Episode 05 of our Hollow Earth Saga as we get down to why the underground is so freakin’ cool with legends of treasure vaults and subterranean tunnels that permeate this porous earth. Starting out with a Llama meeting real-life Agarthians with two tongues, then we head on over to South America in search of underground treasure vaults and secret tunnels. We have seen evidence for the holes in the poles. We have spoken with the Llamas in Tibet about the King of the World that resides and reigns in the inner earth. We have traveled the Orient with Adventure Hound Doc Anderson and been given more questions to ask...And now, we go deeper… Mysteries of the Tayos Caves: The Lost Civilizations Where the Andes Meet the Amazon Mexico's Cave of Crystals Ecuador’s Legendary ‘Golden Library’ Journey to the Center of the Earth Article This Hollow Earth: The Astounding Investigation Into the Lost World Beneath Our Planet's Surface Beasts, Men And God by Ferdinand Ossendowski Galigopuram Temple | Sri Chenna Kesava Swamy Temple in Eluru Andhra Pradesh The mysterious Ajanta Caves | Wonders of Ancient India Chandwad Mysteries Of Ancient South America by Harold T Wilkins LinksPlus+ ExtensionThe extension of the show is EXCLUSIVE to Plus+ Members.

36.12 - MU Podcast - The Skill Trap | Outsourcing Ourselves
Welcome back to MU! As AI and automation get better & better at doing our jobs, they may also be slowly doing away with the way humans have always learned to become good at them. With examples from robotic surgery, Michelin kitchens, warehouses, bomb disposal, banking, and more, our second installment of Matt Beane’s The Skill Code explores how we build real expertise, and how intelligent machines could either hollow that process out or help create an entirely new kind of apprenticeship. Welcome to your Plus+ extension, and thank you all for joining us on Plus+! Buddhists believe that millions of super cool people reside in this underworld paradise called Agartha. Their daily lives and their destiny are directed by a wise, all-powerful ruler known as Rigden-jyepo, also known as the King of the World. Rigden-jyepo kicks it in Shamballah, the capital city of Agartha, which is allegedly accessed through many secret entrances from the surface world, found hidden within the towering monasteries of Tibet, guarded by jolly llamas sworn to protect the secrets of the underworld.

36.11 - MU Podcast - MU Interviews - This Hollow Earth - Episode 01: Deep Lore
Welcome to Mysterious Universe Season 36, episode 11! According to Buddhist doctrine, Agartha is a subterranean land located deep within the center of our planet. Buddhists believe millions of people live in this underground paradise. Their lives and destinies are directed by an all-powerful and all-wise ruler. What wonders lie just beneath us all? We are here today to begin a fascinating saga series titled This Hollow Earth, based on the work of Warren Smith in his 1977 book, This Hollow Earth - The astounding investigation into the 'lost worlds' beneath our planet’s surface. We are here to ask: is the story of Agharta nothing more than a fun fable, or is there truth behind the legend? Do we know the Earth is solid, with varying layers of deep, dense material that terminates in a solid molten core? Or could there be vast inhabitable spaces we would be astounded to experience? In Plus+, we look into the growing train of thought that AI and automation are getting better at doing our jobs, and how they may also be slowly dismantling the way humans have always learned to become good at them. From robotic surgery to Michelin kitchens, Matt Beane’s The Skill Code explores how we build real expertise, and how intelligent machines could either destroy that process, or help create an entirely new kind of apprenticeship.
