Summary
Laird Scranton is our guest this night to discuss his latest book, China's Cosmological Prehistory: The Sophisticated Science Encoded in Civilization's Earliest Symbols. We discuss the knowledge of the ancients, the deep connections in cosmology, creation myths, and science between the Dogon, Chinese, and Buddhist systems. It gets VERY interesting in it's implications...
Laird Scranton is an independent researcher of ancient cosmology and language. His studies in comparative cosmology have served help synchronize aspects of ancient African, Egyptian, Vedic, Chinese, Polynesian and other world cosmologies, and have led to an alternate approach to reading Egyptian hieroglyphic words. His degree is in English from Vassar College.
He became interested in Dogon mythology and symbolism in the early 1990s. He has studied ancient myth, language, and cosmology since 1997 and has been a lecturer at Colgate University. He also appears in John Anthony West’s Magical Egypt DVD series. He lives in Albany, New York. His writings include books and articles published or taught by Colgate University, Temple University and the University of Chicago.

| 0:37.1 | I am your host, Soraya. And we're going to start |
| 0:39.7 | off with a little bit of sad news. Christopher Jordan, who we had as a guest on this show, May 7th, |
| 0:47.0 | passed away this last week. September 22nd, early morning he was living in Cambodia, |
| 0:53.3 | which is where we interviewed him from. |
| 0:56.3 | He was found by his wife just after 6.10 a.m. Monday, the 22nd of September, |

| 1:05.9 | And I really liked talking with Chris. |
| 1:09.8 | We talked about his book, The Ark of the Covenant Operations Manual. |
| 1:12.9 | He has six other titles to his credit, and he had a very different way of looking at things. |
| 1:18.6 | I enjoyed speaking with him, and I had hoped to have him back on. |
| 1:22.4 | But obviously, that was not to be. |
| 1:25.3 | So I highly recommend going to check out the interview. It's, as I said, |
| 1:29.9 | very unique. He's not very well known because he kind of falls between the cracks and a lot of |
| 1:34.7 | stuff. But, yes, sad news from this week's for this week's show. And this week's show is |
| 1:43.7 | dedicated to the memory of Chris Jordan as well. |
| 1:47.3 | And for this week's show, we have back with us, Mr. Laird Scranton. |
