Episode 2:1- In The Shadows Of Time: Our Lost and Hidden History Part 1

**DJ Jaswa** (1:06)
Good evening, curious minds out there across the internet, and welcome to Clandestine Radio Podcast. As always, I'm your host, DJ Jaswa, and I sincerely appreciate you joining me for this evening.
This is episode two, part one, In The Shadows Of Time, Our Lost And Hidden History. And this is just the first part of a two-part series where we are going to travel the globe and take a look at some of the most enigmatic rediscovered pieces that kind of make up the puzzle of our shared history.
I think we all somewhat have that sense in us that something's missing. We're not getting the full story. You know what I mean? Perhaps we're not being told something or perhaps we've just forgotten it as a species, as a collective. It's just kind of slipped from our memories.
But I think we all know there's a little bit more to our history than what we're being told. And I feel like that is illustrated through the rediscovery of a lot of these like lost ruins that we've been finding, lost civilizations that have resurfaced, some of the artifacts from these places, some oop arts, if you will, and just some of the little treads of truth that seem to kind of be peeking out from the sands of time.
We're gonna start off a little bit more familiar. And some of the stuff we're gonna cover in this episode may be very familiar to some of you that are kind of the lost history buffs and are really into this kind of stuff. This part won't be a whole lot of new information for you, but it is all things that I feel are very necessary to cover. And for people who haven't heard of some of this stuff or haven't really looked that deep into some of these things, I think it'll be very eye-opening for you because some of this stuff makes really little to no sense when you put it into our current narrative, if you will, of our shared history. It kind of all stands out as it's not really making sense. But we're going to go a lot further from that too. I've got some stuff that's kind of hopefully going to blow a few minds before we get done with this. Some things you probably haven't heard of, some things that took a lot of digging to actually uncover some legitimate information on. And that's what takes a whole lot of time for this show, to be honest with you, is the research. I don't ever just find one story and then run with a single source on anything. I double fact check, triple fact check, compare sources. I make sure that the stuff that I bring you guys is as accurate as I possibly can get. So that is why we are running a little bit late this week and why we are putting this episode out on Friday rather than the usual Wednesday.
I endeavor to try to get next week's episode out on time. We are going to try and shoot for Wednesday next week. If in the off chance it doesn't happen, then we are going to have another incredibly dense episode probably and it will also come out next Friday. But it's going to be back to back, part 1, part 2 And then the following week, we are going to do a BTR. So we will get caught up on everything, go back over stuff, add a little context, discuss some things. Hopefully you'll interact in the meantime and have a little bit of a back and forth about some of this so I can know your thoughts and meet you in the middle with some things. But in order to get there, I feel that it is important to understand the official story as we know it at this point anyway.
In order to challenge the narrative like we love to do on this show, first it's really important that we understand what that narrative entails. So we're in for quite a journey tonight. Go ahead, grab a passport or just pour a drink and buckle up as we take a little trip through history.
Starting off this evening with our prelude, which is just a brief history of our species according to mainstream archaeology.
Modern humanity or Homo sapiens is typically considered, as far as the fossil records go anyway, to have officially began around 200,000 years ago with our emergence as an anatomically modern human being traced back to Africa during the late Pleistocene era or upper Paleolithic.
Some of the key elements signifying a change in our species, aside from the changes in our appearance and build, is this is when it is believed that we first began using symbolic language, advanced toolmaking techniques, social organization, and where we first began to produce art. According to official records, things continued in this manner with small scattered groups, typically just families or small groups of families. Surviving as mostly nomadic hunter-gatherers for hundreds of thousands of years, all the way up until what is known as the Neolithic Revolution, starting around 10,000 BC to be more precise, with the beginning of agriculture, which led to larger populations and permanent settlements. As the domestication of crops and animals allowed for larger groups to flourish and to begin to see the rise of small cities during that period, from 8,000 BC to around 3,000 BC. This led to social hierarchies starting to kind of form in the beginnings of political structures. This would really get going, however, during the Bronze Age, starting in 3,000 BC, when the first recorded use of mankind combining copper and tin to create bronze for tools, weapons, and ceremonial objects is first seen. And this was a huge step.
