Get ready to embark on a time-traveling adventure with the legendary archaeologist, Dr. Ed Barnhart!

Let's unearth the stories of the awe-inspiring civilizations of the Americas. 

These are the tales that only get a fleeting mention in western history books.

Episode 3.1 The Fanged Deity

The Fanged Deity is a ubiquitous character in ancient Andean art.  

His identity as the same creator deity over thousands of years, through multiple cultures and from Columbia to Chile, is my own potentially paradigm shifting theory.  

Join me as I explain why I believe the religions of ancient South America were essentially monotheistic.

And From the Marathon Archives...

On this day, I've finished two marathons...

In 2008, Tippi and I finished Metacomet II, which began at Phelps Road in Suffield, and covered north to Route 57 and south to Route 20.  Running time of 5:32:00.  This was my 39th and Tippi's 13th completed marathon.

In 2009, Wuzzam joined Tippi and I at Tunxis II (South), which meant we ran from Route 219 to Satan's Kingdom, and also north to Roberts Brook I believe.  Our time was 6:04:44.  This was my 44th and Tippi's 15th marathon.
