This was such a captivating conversation! I was so excited to welcome back Gregory Dizzia, co-founder of the Cosmos University, for our third deep dive into the mysteries that bridge ancient wisdom and modern science. From the moment we started, it was clear we were on the trail of uncovering things that truly challenge our understanding of history and the "magic" that once permeated it.

Greg shared the incredible origin story of Cosmos University, born from his lifelong fascination with alternative archaeology and the vast gap between conventional scientific understanding and profound spiritual or folkloric claims. We explored how seemingly "magical" properties of materials, like those attributed to precious stones or even common garlic, might have a verifiable scientific basis. For example, Greg broke down the mythical power of Solomon's Ring (5:00), explaining how its combination of silver, brass, and emerald could, in fact, leverage bioenergy, potential differences, and piezoelectric properties to "mess with the ether." It made me realize: **what we call "magic" today might simply be science we haven't yet understood or explained in modern terms** (38:31). We also discussed how ancient civilizations likely knew this, but chose to explain it in poetic rather than scientific terms.

But the conversation truly took a mind-bending turn when we delved into our deep dive on the Book of Enoch. Greg revealed connections that left me speechless. He uncovered a prophecy within the book describing a 10,000-year period until "guilt is consummated." When aligning this ancient text with scientific flood dates, the timeline incredibly points to a momentous event like Christ's crucifixion (51:00) a discovery that sent shivers down my spine.

Even more astounding was our discussion on the "Shepherd's Vision" (1:13:48). Enoch foresees 35 "good" leaders, followed by a 36th whose flock becomes corrupted. Greg's meticulous research revealed an uncanny parallel with the succession of Catholic Popes: 35 early Popes canonized as saints, followed by Pope Liberius, the 36th, whose tumultuous reign and the subsequent rise of Pope Damasus (often associated with the Council of Laodicea, which established strict new rules and a fixed canon of biblical texts around 1:20:00) profoundly reshaped Christianity. It made me wonder: **could these ancient texts contain truths so monumental that they remain hidden or dismissed even today, perhaps even within the secretive archives of the Vatican?** (1:27:13).

We also touched on critical contemporary issues, from the ethical dilemmas of scientific advancements like AI-driven dream manipulation to the overwhelming "spam of information" in our digital age. Greg compellingly argued that perhaps we're not "reinventing the wheel," but rather rediscovering truths once widely known, now obscured by time.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the hidden layers of history, the science behind the mystical, and the urgent need for open-mindedness in understanding our past. Greg's insights are not just thought-provoking; they're truly paradigm-shifting. I guarantee you'll want to re-evaluate everything you thought you knew!
