Summary

My name is Geoffrey Drumm

I must admit that I have a bit of an Indiana Jones complex, and watching the Raiders of the Lost Ark when I was a kid first ignited my interest in Egypt . In 2012, I began researching the Egyptian pyramids and some of the alternative theories about their true purpose as a serious side hobby. One of my life’s greatest aspirations was to one day see these structures in person, and in 2017 I finally got the chance when my friend Bethany agreed to join me on my first week-long trip to Egypt. I had a very specific, research oriented itinerary planned, but our guide Yousef had some unexpected surprised in store for us, including a journey inside the Red Pyramid of Dahshur. Upon entering the pyramid, we became overwhelmed by the intense smell of ammonia and were able to see the chemical staining on the walls of the inner chambers. The theories and story contained within this book are inspired by my experience inside the Red Pyramid and my time visiting Egypt, which led me to begin investigating the country’s ancient structures with a focus on chemistry.
Thank you so much for your interest in The Land of Chem, and I hope you enjoy reading the story as much as I have enjoyed writing it!

0:23.6	Come on in this talk and see what's going on for this coming week.
0:27.2	Hey, I want to mention that our YouTube channel is being populated.
0:33.5	And I want to endorse it as much as possible because we are able to really drill down into details.
0:41.8	And when I say details, a lot of my guests have graphics, they have illustrations, they have photos.
0:48.2	Obviously, if you're listening, you can't see what they're talking about.
0:53.5	And I know as a podcast fan, myself, when I'm
0:57.2	listening to a host, talk to somebody and they're like talking about the photograph or an illustration
1:03.7	or a graph or something, it's like, what the hell? I don't get it. So I offer two resources for you. One is that most of the illustrations or photos
1:14.8	or whatever the guest is showing is on the Facebook page. And I usually put a podcast notes
1:21.0	or podcast news within the 24 hours after the interview. And if you don't want it there, you can actually see the entire interview on YouTube.
1:32.9	Just go to Earth Ancients and you'll see it on YouTube.
1:36.0	And it is crystal clear.
1:38.5	And thanks to my video team, it's edited tightly and its audio is clean as well. And check it out. In fact,
1:48.9	some people will actually listen to the audio version as you're driving or walking or whatever
1:55.1	and then go home and watch the YouTube channel and see it all again with the illustrations.
2:02.8	So this is a new phase.
2:05.1	And there's some people that are really demanding that I put it on to,
2:11.5	that I put it on to Spotify,
2:12.9	because you can put a whole show on the Spotify.
