EPISODE #1130 KARAHAN TEPE: THE SHAMANIC TEMPLE OF THE GALACTIC SERPENT AND THE ANUNNAKI

Richard welcomes author Andrew Collins who takes us on a fascinating journey into the mysteries of Karahan Tepe, an ancient site in southeastern Turkey that predates the pyramids by over 11,000 years. Collins delves deep into the enigmatic structures, carvings, and astronomical alignments of Karahan Tepe, revealing its function as a shamanic oracle center and its profound connection to the stars. He explores how the site’s builders, linked to the world’s first post–Ice Age civilization, are remembered in mythology as the Watchers, Nephilim, and Anunnaki, drawing parallels between these ancient figures and the cosmic serpent motif found in cultures across the world. Collins also discusses the site's acoustical properties, underground chambers, and how the Milky Way’s Galactic Bulge played a key role in its spiritual practices. Don’t miss this exclusive exploration into one of the most significant archaeological discoveries of the 21st century!
