Summary

We are joined by Mard Young to discuss the Khafre Scans, the credibility of the conclusions from the scan data, and the future of this type of technology if it is viable.

In the second half of the show, we talk about Marc's encounters with fraud in academia, and the problems with the peer review system.

We are going to Peru in October of 2025!! Sign up now and join us, Ben from UnchartedX, and Yousef Aywan from the Khemet School on an epic journey through the highlands of Peru:

0:00.0	Yeah. And welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, angels and demons and monsters and serpents. This is Brothers of the Serpent podcast, and we are coming to you not live from the 10 by 10 by 10 tangent cube of science, where we are nestled amongst the dusty bones of an ancient seabed high atop the Edwards Plateau. And this week we have on a special
0:38.9	guest, Mark Young. You're in Australia right now? Mark. All right. From the other side of the
0:45.4	planet, upside downland, Mark is joining us. Welcome, bro. Welcome. Thank you guys. It's good to be here.
0:53.3	Yeah, we really appreciate it.
0:55.3	So Kyle was telling me before the show that he was like, let's get Mark on and talk about the Kafre data.
1:02.8	Now, we had discussed this in Egypt with Ben like maybe a week after it came out or something.
1:09.3	But obviously a lot more things have happened then.
1:11.2	But Mark knows more about it than we do.
1:14.2	And his specialty, you're like geophysical archaeology.
1:18.1	What was it that you said?
1:19.9	Yeah, so I wouldn't really call it my specialty,
1:21.7	but I have been trained in archaeological geophysics
1:24.2	and remote sensing applications in archaeology.
1:27.2	So it's kind of, I know a little bit.
1:30.7	He knows a little bit, which is way more than us.
1:35.6	Yeah, way better than the speculation camp over here.
1:38.2	Yeah, yeah.
1:39.6	Yeah.
1:40.5	So the first question, I guess I would have is, what is the technology that's supposed to be, that has, that was used for this and how does it work?
1:51.1	Like, that's the question.
1:52.1	Yeah, so a lot of people and the debunkers out there are saying, oh, you can't do all this with SIR data, which is synthetic aperture radar.
2:03.3	And it comes from satellites.
