This episode explores the mythology, symbolism, and ancient history of Karahan Tepe with science and history writer Andrew Collins. This is a thought-provoking conversation into esoteric lore and the ancient origins of civilization.
Andrew Collins is the author of over fifteen books that challenge the way we think about the past. In his latest book, Karahan Tepe: Civilization of the Anunnaki and the Cosmic Origins of the Serpent of Eden – he reveals why this Turkish site, built more than 11,000 years ago, is considered the most important archaeological discovery of the 21st century.
Andrew's book is a must-read for anyone interested in the mythology, symbolism, ancient history and meaning of serpents, plus how spiritual traditions intersect with astrology, cosmology and scientific inquiry.
