Dixion Chibanda, MD: The Friendship Bench
“Dixon Chibanda’s beautiful and heroic book will inspire everyone who reads it.”— Johann Hari2025 BookPal OWL Award Winner • As featured on CBS Sunday Morning and NPR’s Here and NowA simple, human solution for loneliness and depressionWhen Dr. Dixon Chibanda lost a patient to suicide, he began a soul-searching journey that eventually led to a mental healthcare revolution. As one of only six psychiatrists in all of Zimbabwe, a country traumatized by decades of conflict, Chibanda quickly realized that millions there were suffering from mental illness with no hope of receiving care. He saw that the only way to narrow this care gap was to leverage existing resources in the community, and one such resource was the compassion and understanding of grandmothers. With fourteen of these wise elders as partners, Chibanda pioneered the Friendship Bench program, a community-driven initiative addressing loneliness, depression, substance abuse, and suicide by fostering intergenerational connectedness. Since then, more than 500,000 people worldwide have sat on a park bench to share their personal stories with an empathetic grandmother.A primer on how human connection forms the bedrock of our resilience, The Friendship Bench gives readers the tools to facilitate transformative healing by reaching out to those who are struggling and isolated from the world around them. It’s a case study of how interventions supported by robust scientific evidence can be made accessible for all. Ultimately, it’s a celebration of the collective wisdom and knowledge of those rooted in their communities and their profound ability to foster belonging, purpose, and healing.Dixon Chibanda, MD, is a professor of psychiatry at the University of Zimbabwe and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. The director of the African Mental Health Research Initiative (AMARI), he has written about his work for The Guardian and LA Times and spoken to audiences at the World Economic Forum, the Aspen Ideas Festival, and the TEDWomen conference.https://www.friendshipbench.org/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Anthony Murphy: Mythical Ireland
Mythical Ireland embodies the search for a soul among Ireland's ancient ruins, and is an attempt to retrieve something of deeper import from 5,000-year-old megalithic monuments and their associated myths. The book represents a fascinating and engaging journey through time, landscape and the human spirit. Dealing with archaeology, interpretive mythography, cosmology and cosmogony, the book attempts to grapple with a core meaning, something beyond the functional interpretations of academia.In this revised and expanded edition, Anthony Murphy delves further into the many enthralling aspects of this journey. Just how much knowledge did locals have of the secrets of Newgrange before it was excavated? Who is the Cailleach, the ancient hag goddess whose image is ubiquitous in the ancient landscape? What happened to make Ireland’s Stonehenge disappear from the landscape? Who were the first kings of Tara? What were the indigenous Irish myths about the Milky Way? Did someone try to steal the Tara Brooch? Why are there myths in Ireland about flooded towns and cities?Lavishly illustrated with exquisite photographs of the Irish landscape and ancient monuments, Mythical Ireland represents a personal and yet universal journey, a quest to reimagine the shrines as empowering and transformative sacred places. Murphy invokes the druids and poets of the Boyne and thus the sídhe of the ancient texts are reawakened for a modern and turbulent world.I'm an author and journalist living in Drogheda, Ireland. I've been writing since I was about five, and even in my early years I was banging away on my father's old typewriter. I'm interested in many things, but my books are primarily inspired by the ancient myths and monuments of the Boyne Valley, where the world-famous stone age monuments of Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth are located, only a few miles from where I live.www.mythicalireland.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Brian Pharoah: The Giza System: The Hidden Architecture Beneath the Pyramids
What if the pyramid isn’t the machine?What if the true design of Giza lies hidden in the plateau itself?For centuries, the pyramids of Giza have been studied as isolated monuments—tombs, symbols, or feats of ancient engineering. Yet key features remain unresolved: the subterranean chamber deep below, the purpose of the Well Shaft, hidden internal voids, and the precise relationship between structure and bedrock.What if these are not separate mysteries—but parts of a single system?The Giza System introduces a new perspective: that the function of Giza may not reside in the pyramid alone, but in what is concealed beneath and surrounding it. It proposes that the plateau itself may have been architecturally engineered to interact with water, integrating stone, elevation, and flow into a unified design.In this view, familiar features begin to shift in meaning—less as isolated spaces, more as elements within a larger process. Subsurface chambers, internal pathways, and surrounding geology suggest coordination, not coincidence.Elevation becomes critical.Position, depth, and relationship begin to matter in ways often overlooked.At the same time, the model opens a broader question: whether architecture and cosmology were conceived together—echoing the ancient concept of Nun, the primordial waters—not only symbolically, but functionally. In this light, traditional interpretations need not be discarded; funerary purpose and hydraulic design may coexist within the same architecture, serving layered roles rather than a single explanation.This is not a claim of lost technology—but a reframing of what may already be present.Drawing on architectural observation, geological context, and comparisons with other ancient sites, The Giza System outlines a model that is both grounded and testable—one that invites exploration rather than final answers.If this perspective is correct, then Giza was not built simply to endure.It may have been designed to operate.And what has been hidden in plain sight… may have been there by design.Brian Pharoah is a Canadian architectural designer with over 35 years of experience in residential design and construction, specializing in large custom luxury homes across Canada. Trained in classical architecture, his work is grounded in geometry, proportion, and the relationship between structure and environment. He approaches design as a disciplined process of visualizing and constructing space through measurement, mathematics, and three-dimensional reasoning.He is the author of two books on the Oak Island mystery, exploring themes of sacred geometry, numerical systems, and the possibility of encoded knowledge within historical structures. His work investigates how underlying mathematical principles—often described as Logos—may inform both architectural form and cultural symbolism.Over the past decade, Brian has extended this architectural approach to the study of ancient megalithic sites, with a particular focus on the Giza Plateau. His research examines the pyramids and surrounding structures not as isolated monuments, but as components of a coordinated landscape shaped by elevation, geology, and groundwater conditions. Through analysis of structural alignments, chamber elevations, and subsurface features, he explores the possibility that water played a fundamental role in the design and organization of the site.Rather than opposing traditional interpretations, Brian’s work seeks to expand them—exploring how architecture, environmental forces, and ancient Egyptian cosmology, including concepts such as Nun, Osiris, and rebirth, may operate together within a unified framework. His research integrates architectural analysis with archaeological and geological data, offering a new perspective on how physical processes and symbolic meaning may intersect at Giza.Brian has been featured on The Curse of Oak Island and has appeared on multiple podcasts discussing his research. He is the author of The Giza System, a comprehensive architectural study presenting this evolving interpretation of the Giza Plateau.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Dr. Paulette Steeves: Hidden Histories of the Americas: Archaeologists Who Challenged Orthodoxy
The Indigenous Paleolithic of the Western Hemisphere is a reclaimed history of the deep past of Indigenous people in North and South America during the Paleolithic. Paulette F. C. Steeves mines evidence from archaeology sites and Paleolithic environments, landscapes, and mammalian and human migrations to make the case that people have been in the Western Hemisphere not only just prior to Clovis sites (10,200 years ago) but for more than 60,000 years, and likely more than 100,000 years.Steeves discusses the political history of American anthropology to focus on why pre-Clovis sites have been dismissed by the field for nearly a century. She explores supporting evidence from genetics and linguistic anthropology regarding First Peoples and time frames of early migrations. Additionally, she highlights the work and struggles faced by a small yet vibrant group of American and European archaeologists who have excavated and reported on numerous pre-Clovis archaeology sites.In this first book on Paleolithic archaeology of the Americas written from an Indigenous perspective, The Indigenous Paleolithic of the Western Hemisphere includes Indigenous oral traditions, archaeological evidence, and a critical and decolonizing discussion of the development of archaeology in the Americas.Paulette Steeves (Cree-Métis) is a professor of sociology and Canada Research Chair Tier II Indigenous History, Healing, and Reconciliation at Algoma University. She is also an adjunct faculty at Mount Allison University. She is the author of The Indigenous Paleolithic of the Western Hemisphere (Nebraska, 2021).https://paulettesteeves22.wixsite.com/drpaulettesteeveshttps://www.tipdba.ca/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.
