This week's episode is a special one. I’m joined by explorer and author Matt LaCroix, a researcher dedicated to uncovering the secrets of ancient history. With a deep passion for challenging mainstream narratives, Matt explores the lost civilisations, advanced technologies, and forgotten sites that reshape our understanding of the past.In this episode, we dive into The Great Pyramid debate, the mysteries beneath the Sphinx, and the evidence of lost technology in ancient stonework. Matt breaks down why historical timelines may be wrong, how global floods reshaped civilisation, and what hidden tunnels beneath ancient sites could reveal. We also tackle the Anunnaki mystery, the question of human origins, and whether past civilisations had knowledge far beyond what we assume.Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that challenges everything you thought you knew about history.00:00 Diving into ancient mysteries01:24 Matthew's path to hidden history03:28 Graham Hancock’s research and Turkey's secrets04:50 Unearthing forgotten sites06:26 Challenging historical timelines10:56 Lost technology in ancient stonework15:02 Mysteries of unfinished monuments17:33 Inside the pyramids debate22:45 Beneath the Sphinx: hidden tunnels28:37 How ancient civilisations collapsed32:12 Why ancient sites were buried35:45 The Sphinx's true origins37:57 Discovering Lake Van's underwater world43:07 Science backs lost civilisations48:00 Turkey's role in ancient history51:33 Breaking down historical myths56:17 Understanding the Anunnaki1:01:09 The mystery of human origins1:06:01 Global flood stories and civilization resets1:11:13 The cycle of rise and fall civilisations1:16:43 Could our civilization collapse?1:21:32 Ancient abilities and ET connections1:24:00 History's biggest question…1:25:38 Essential reading for ancient mysteries1:27:19 Next adventures and documentary plans1:30:49 Why ancient sites still captivate us» Escape the 9-5 & build your dream life - https://www.digitalplaybook.net/» Transform your physique - https://www.thrstapp.com/» My clothing brand, THRST - https://thrstofficial.com» Custom Bioniq supplements: https://www.bioniq.com/mikethurston • 40% off your first month of Bioniq GO • 20% off your first month of Bioniq PRO» Join ​⁠@Whoop and get your first month for free - https://join.whoop.com/mikethurston» Follow Matt«YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UC65XXzhHyH3BKZ72Q1eKF8Q Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thestageoftime/?hl=enWebsite: https://thestageoftime.com
