Summary

This was a fun discussion! Back in the tangent cube at last, we cover some of the highlights of our long trip through Egypt and Turkey, from Cappadocia and Derenkuyu to Gobekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe, the Pyramids and the Osirieon, ancient tools and lost vaults of knowledge. We talk about the mythology connected with the structures, and focus a lot of time on the Osiris Myth. Thank you all for your patience as we travel, and your continued support!
