News Roundup: Luna's "Interdimensional" UFOs and Biondi's "Second Sphinx" Scan

6/23/2026

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna claimed yesterday that a new batch of UFO files will be released by the end of the week, and in reporting this, Luna alleged that her “witnesses” had told her that flying saucers come from another dimension. “I think in a week or so, there’s going to be another tranche of documents and/or footage. But, you know, it’s one of those things that we won’t tell you what to believe. You can look at it and review it for yourself. I think a lot of people realize, yeah, maybe we’re not the only thing on this planet. But I don’t like to speculate other than, you know, our witnesses have told us some very interesting things. They did not use the word ‘extraterrestrial.’ They use the word ‘interdimensional.’ And then look at the stuff for yourself and make your own conclusions.”

Graham Hancock Appears on Podcast to Defend Life's Work Ahead of Heart Surgery

6/11/2026

5 Comments

Graham Hancock appeared on The Diary of a CEO podcast today to discuss his life and work ahead of what he says is very serious heart surgery. Hancock said there is a 15 percent chance he will not survive the surgery, and he did not want an upcoming feature about him that he suspects will be hostile to be the last word on his claims about a lost civilization. “One of the failed valves in my heart is causing blood to regurgitate inside the heart rather than pumping it through the body. And that means that oxygenated blood is not getting to my lungs,” Hancock said. “I probably would live another two or three years without the surgery, maybe even five, but the quality of life would be very low. I can’t even walk up three stairs without being exhausted at the moment.”

Jimmy Corsetti Releases Video Accusing Zahi Hawass of Crimes and Cover-Ups

5/17/2026

On Sunday, Corsetti released his promised video attacking Zahi Hawass. During his appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored on Friday, Hawass had stated that nothing had been found in the Osiris Shaft sarcophagus, which was empty when it was opened in 1999. Corsetti correctly notes that when Hawass published his site report in 2007, he stated that a skeleton (more properly, the remains of human bones) had been found in the sarcophagus along with some amulets.

Piers Morgan Had Three Conspiracy Theorists Debate Zahi Hawass. They Lost.

5/16/2026

On Friday, Piers Morgan Uncensored aired an hour-long episode featuring an interview with Egyptologist Zahi Hawass and a debate between Hawass and three fringe history social media agitators. The episode was a sequel to one that aired last year that found the host asking if debunking fringe pyramid claims was racist against white men. During the debate portion, Jimmy Corsetti accused Hawass of conspiring to suppress discoveries at Giza and was humiliated alongside fellow conspiracy theorists Michael Button and Timothy Alberino when Hawass exposed how painfully little reading any of them had done in the academic literature on Egypt. The three of them were unable to discuss anything they hadn’t read in a Graham Hancock book. Even a chastened Morgan seemed to have a change of heart. In response, Corsetti later took to social media to make the outrageous accusation that Hawass was complicit in trafficking Egyptian antiquities on the black market.

No, the CIA Did Not Secretly Discover the Hall of Records Under the Sphinx in 1950

5/12/2026

3 Comments

More than a quarter-century ago, the CIA released a 1952 archival document listing archived photographs taken in 1950. According to the heavily redacted 10-page document, a couple whose names were withheld—but were certainly anthropologist and Afghanistan scholar Louis Dupree and his first wife, Annie Dupree—took photos during a trip to Afghanistan between July and December 1952.

The agency’s primary interest was in the Afghan photos, but the roles of film, which were loaned to the agency and then returned, also included some exposures from a stop-over in Lebanon and Egypt on route. Photos taken of the Sphinx caused a stir online yesterday when social media gadflies like Jimmy Corsetti suggested they proved the CIA had evidence of the supposed Hall of Records under the Sphinx.

News Roundup: Second Sphinx, Ancient UFOs, North Korean Alien Tech, and More!

It’s been a busy couple of days across across the world of lost civilization, ancient astronaut, and UFO conspiracies. Scott Wolter put out a new conspiracy theory on Facebook, bringing in the dubious Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis to now claim that the comet that believers imagine struck the earth in the Ice Age separate a unified European-North American antediluvian civilization. It was this prehistoric foundation of shared symbols, he said, that let the Knights Templar communicate with Native Americans when Henry I Sinclair, Earl of Orkney arrived among the Mi’kmaq in the 1100s CE—an event that, of course, never happened but was invented by Johann Reinhold in the 1700s and promoted by Richard Henry Major in the 1800s.

But that wasn’t all that happened this weekend.

Al-Idrisi's Legend of Hermes' Antediluvian Temple in Akhmim

3/27/2026

3 Comments

I had long known that Muhammad al-Idrisi, the famed twelfth-century geographer, had written a brief passage about the pyramids in his masterpiece, the Tabula Rogeriana (1154 CE). It was almost wholly descriptive and of relatively little interest. (It should not be confused with the book by the other al-Idrisi, Abu Jafar, who wrote a treatise on the pyramids, which has never been translated.) However, I discovered yesterday that the surrounding chapter on Egyptian geography was actually only one of two chapters on Egypt in the book, and the other contains a surprising treasure that provided a little bit more evidence for my longstanding thesis that the myth of antediluvian pyramids was originally told of the Temple of Akhmim as a local adaptation of Enoch’s Pillars of Wisdom.

Filippo Biondi Claims to Have Found Second Sphinx Under Giza

Regular readers will remember Filippo Biondi, the Italian researcher who claims to have discovered massive structures beneath the Giza pyramids using a controversial scanning technique that archaeologists say can’t yield the results he claims for it. Well, Biondi appeared this morning on The Matt Beall Podcast to discuss his claims, and he added a new one. He now claims to have discovered a second Sphinx buried beneath the Giza plateau.

Ibn 'Abd al-Hakam and the Secret Source of the "General Estoria's" History of Egypt

After several weeks of investigation, I am happy to provide the closest possible solution to the mystery of where Alfonso X got his history of Ancient Egypt in the General Estoria (c. 1270 CE)—and it’s a solution that none of the experts, including the modern editors of both editions of the General Estoria as well as Juan Udaondo Alegre, who wrote about it in his 2024 book The Spanish Hermes, discovered. And now you can see it for yourself for the first time here.

On Ibn Wahshiyya and the Dating of the Legend of King Surid

I wanted to share a bit of information about the medieval Arabic pyramid myth that I recently came across since it helps to correct a small but important problem I encountered in writing my Legends of the Pyramids five years ago. As you will recall, the myth’s most developed form holds that an antediluvian Egyptian king named Surid built the Great Pyramid to protect science and knowledge from the Great Flood, which was foretold in a vision. However, that version is attested a century after an earlier form, involving Hermes Trismegistus preserving science and knowledge in the temple of Akhmim (also called Ikhmim or Panopolis) after foreseeing the coming of the Flood.
