In the first half, author and engineer Richard Heath explored the origins and significance of sacred geometry and ancient astronomy in human history. Back in prehistoric times, people had a system of counting and measuring time before the advent of arithmetic. The ancients used geometry not just in physical space but as a way to understand time cycles, especially those related to celestial bodies, he said. Heath described how megalithic monuments encode numerical data and geometrical patterns reflecting the Earth's time environment. Their sacred knowledge, he continued, was intricately connected to cyclical time divisions.
Ancient peoples used geometric shapes and whole number ratios to predict celestial events like eclipses, revealing a "form of harmony" tied to planetary cycles and musical scales, he explained. "All the outer planets have whole number ratios with the lunar year," he asserted, linking these cosmic rhythms to the origins of musical scales. Some neoclassical architecture encoded these astronomical relationships through geometry and proportions based on the golden mean and Fibonacci series, he remarked, adding that the geometry of the Great Pyramid indicates a deep understanding of Earth's dimensions long before modern science.
While acknowledging the ancients' lack of modern technology, Heath argued they maintained "very high standards" and employed sophisticated systems of measurement, sometimes using landscape features to represent time cycles, like the 6800-day lunar node period. He speculated that knowledge was likely held by specialized individuals, possibly shamans or priestly builders, who were intimately connected to sites like Stonehenge. He also discussed the cultural transmission of this knowledge, noting its eventual loss as religion and science diverged. He described the Bible as "a very musical text" embedded with sacred numbers linked to planetary cycles, illustrating how ancient cosmologies shaped religious narratives.

Appearing in the last 90 minutes, researcher of ancient mysteries Frank Joseph Hoff discussed his extensive work on the location and history of Atlantis, influenced by the research of the late Brazilian nuclear physicist Arysio Nunes dos Santos. Hoff contends that Atlantis is not a myth but a real continent, located in Southeast Asia where the Pacific and Indian Oceans meet, specifically around Indonesia. "We're actually going to make the...discovery of the lost hidden continent Atlantis. It's in the works right now," he enthused. According to his research, Atlantis was submerged due to rising sea levels triggered by massive volcanic activity, notably the Krakatoa eruption 11,600 years ago.
There was a tsunami that raised sea levels 130 to 250 meters in shallow areas-- this event, combined with the universal flood and melting glaciers, reshaped the region into the archipelago seen today, he said. Hoff described Atlantis as a highly advanced civilization with technology including flying machines and car-like vehicles, and suggested their brains were "30% larger than us." He also revealed the catastrophe's human toll: "We lost 20 million people in a day and a night in Atlantis," with survivors dispersing to places like India and South America.
The conversation also touched on the strategic secrecy surrounding Atlantis, intended to protect its riches and technology from plunder. Hoff detailed connected caverns high in the mountains in Asia, with core samples dating back over 23,000 years, suggesting potential archaeological treasures, including a possible "Hall of Records." He also reported that Indonesian colleagues were conducting ongoing underwater and land explorations, hinting at the forthcoming discoveries.
