Geoffrey Drumm from the Land of Chem channel joins the show for a fascinating deep dive into his latest research from Japan! Geoffrey, who splits his time between Egypt and rural Japan, discusses his groundbreaking theories on the true purpose of ancient megalithic structures.
In this episode, we cover:

• 🗿 Japan's Megalithic Mystery: Discover the stone circles, passage chambers, and proto-pyramids in Japan that mirror those found in Europe, and Geoffrey's hypothesis that they were designed to attract lightning for atmospheric fertilization.
• ⚡️ Pyramid of Coramonta: Hear the incredible, first-hand archaeological account of the artificial pyramid mountain in Japan where excavations allegedly released colored flames and gases, suggesting an ancient chemical function.
• 🔥 The Egyptian Refinery Theory: Geoffrey explains how the pyramids of Egypt were not tombs, but large-scale chemical plants for producing fertilizers and acids, backed by geological evidence from the Giza Plateau.
• ✝️ The Tomb of Christ in Japan: We explore the wild legend that Jesus Christ survived the crucifixion and fled to a small village in northern Japan, and the connections to the mysterious Hata clan and Tengu mythology.
• 🏯 Life & Culture in Japan: Geoffrey shares his experiences living in rural Japan, from the amazing food and beautiful nature to the challenges of cultural assimilation and the subtle nuances of Japanese society.

If you're interested in alternative history, archaeo-chemistry, and uncharted mysteries, this conversation is a must-watch!

[00:00:00] Benjamin Balderson:

You   win.  

[00:00:30] Steve :

Whoops.   Mhmm. Whoops.   Wrong one. There we go.   Do you wanna give Jeff an introduction?   You just want me to bring him in.  

[00:00:41] Benjamin Balderson:

First time on deliberate deliberating dog faced dudes, but longtime friend and was on on my you guys, if you go back through it. He's,   been on my show, Owens Alchemy, a number of times.   Jeffrey Drumm has,   moved   over to Egypt and has the most fascinating,   theories on the what the pyramids actually were for and that they were chemical refineries.   And the thing about that is is his theories come with actual scientific backing and data.   And now it since then, he's just decided he's gonna spend his time running around to all the places the rest of us dream about going to one of them, and he's just gonna hang out at all of them like an asshole.   Welcome, Jeffrey.  



[00:01:28] Geoffrey Drumm:

How you doing, my friend? What's up, boys? Let me put these shorts on in case I get up here.   Alright. Alright. Yes. So long.   We've all done it. It's okay. We are we are still permanently my wife, Alexis, here too. We're just like, literally here. Yeah.   There we go. Beautiful.   Oh, and author of the land of cam. The viewer the viewers of my YouTube channel never know that I film all my episodes with no pants on.   Yeah. Not that's the only way that podcasts  

[00:02:05] Benjamin Balderson:

It's the key to success. The key to success of YouTube.  

[00:02:08] allen marcus:

Wear a fancy shirt, and they never ask about the pants. Right? Mhmm.  

[00:02:13] Geoffrey Drumm:

So Yeah. So we still we still live in Egypt, but we also got a,   you know, a little tiny place here in Japan   in the middle of nowhere,   and it's a very nice break   and change of pace from living in Egypt for, you know, mental, physical, and spiritual health.   It's it's a much nicer place to be here,   a lot closer to the beach. You know, there's mountains and trees and water and all of the temples and shrines, and it's just   it's really, really nice break from   the chaos of living in Egypt.  

[00:02:52] Benjamin Balderson:

In the dry heat.  

[00:02:55] Geoffrey Drumm:

Yeah. Yeah. So It's still hot as fuck here, but way more humid. It's actually worse here.   Really?   Yeah. It's hot as fuck in Japan.   And Japan is actually unbeknownst to me. So we came here for a month   last September for a research expedition,   my first trip to Japan,   because there's so all of the type of structures that are all over Europe and The UK,   stone circles,   passage chambers,   protopyramid   mounds,   all that same sort of megalithic   technology   is exactly the same here in Japan.   They have all kind of stone circles, passage chamber reactors,   protopyruvian   mounds, big standing stones, men here. It's it's all the exact same.  

So we wanted to come here because I have a I have a keen interest on stone circles and, you know, my my new research is focusing on that as well.   And,   so we wanted to come here and check all that out. And there's also abundant connections   with with lightning. And so my hypothesis about the function of stone circles is that they're bring bringing lightning to specific areas. They're they're positive charge accumulators on the surface of the earth that are basically positive targets to attract negatively charged cloud to ground lightning   for for atmospheric fertilization   of agricultural areas because there's a chemical reaction that occurs when lightning strikes that creates atmospheric fertilizers.  

And this was implemented in the time immediately following the great flood.   Well, the post ice age cataclysmic flood by a civilization here called the Jomon.   And this Jomon civilization   existed from around 30,000   BCE. The earliest pottery is dated to, like, 30,000 BCE.   Conventional time frame is around 12,000 BCE   up until around 3,000 BCE. So it's both   pre ice age, during the ice age, and post ice age civilization   that was building these stone circle systems here in Japan.   Anyway,   we wanted to come here to check all that out,   but it's much cheaper here than in The UK, and the food sucks in The UK.  

So Japanese food is way better   than the garbage they have in The UK. So we we decided to come here for a month.   We loved it.   Fast forward another month, and we had kind of rented this property   out in the middle of nowhere,   and we came for three months   last winter,   December, February,   January, and February,   and it was cold. Japan, again, unbeknownst to me, Japan is the   country   that gets the most snowfall   of anywhere in the world.   What?  

[00:05:49] Steve :

Some of the best snowboarding in the world is in Japan.  

[00:05:52] Geoffrey Drumm:

Hey, dude. It's it's insane. Well, they also have a place called,   what's the island on the north? Hokkaido? Hokkaido,   which is the northernmost   island of Japan   that gets absolutely hammered every year, like,   10 meters   of, like, huge   snowfall,   like, meters and meters and meters of snow.   Like, they're buried under snow all year in Hokkaido.  

[00:06:20] Steve :

Japan. I went to I went when I was, like, 12. My my grandparents had   friends that were pastoring a church there,   and we went to go stay with them over my Christmas break. And that was the first time I ever saw redwood trees in my life   was in Japan.   Oh, the trees here other place besides California where redwoods grow.  

[00:06:42] Geoffrey Drumm:

So even naturally, the trees here all look like bonsai trees. It's like, I love being around the trees here, and they have these huge cedar forests. And everywhere you go, the trees are just like it's so beautiful, especially, you know, living in Egypt where the trees are shit.   There are some trees, but they're very, very few and far between.   You know, I can just look out here at the big mountain by our house, and it's just covered with these   absolutely gorgeous trees.  

[00:07:10] Benjamin Balderson:

Yeah. The trees are even protected. Like, it's it was illegal to cut down oaks in some part of Northern Europe.   Right? Don't cut our trees down. We don't have very many of them.  

[00:07:29] Geoffrey Drumm:

You mentioned the food is much better in Japan. Are you talking Kobe beef and vegetables? Everything is better? Yeah. So we're actually just in Kobe. I mean, our our house is in Hyogo Prefecture, which is near Kobe, Osaka area.   So we were just in Kobe. I went and got,   this   tattoo here   and this one on my finger   here,   this is a this is a hiragana   Japanese character.   It's a it's basically like a my my wife,   Alexa. So it's a for Alexa.   I got that tattooed on my finger, and this is an alchemical symbol for the star Sirius.   Neat.  

So I went to Kobe to get tatted. This guy had you know, obviously, he's covered in tattoos,   and I had a quite a difficult time tracking down a tattoo artist that   didn't focus   exclusively   on the type of Japanese clientele   that are covered from head to toe in tattoos. Wink, wink. If you know who I'm talking about. I couldn't get an email back from anybody because I'm a white guy, and I'm not the, I'm not a member of the group   that,   you know, they only tattoo these kind of people.   So after her, you know, a month of sending out emails and trying to track people down on Instagram,   I finally found a guy that that emailed me back. So,   you know, cool shop. This guy's covered in tattoos. Old school, like, rotary   tattoo machine.  

It was really, really cool.   But he he did a good job. I just got that done. So, yeah, like Kobe beef do the best thing here is ramen.   Ramen,   karaage, which is like fried chicken, not chicken nuggets, but fried chicken and gyoza.   That's my favorite meal. Most ramen shops will also have gyoza   and, karaage.   So I speak a little bit of Arabic and a little bit of Japanese,   and we, you know, we we jokingly come up with fake Arabic names and fake Japanese names so that we can so my name when I'm in Egypt is Ahmed Yousef because everyone's name is either Ahmed Ahmed, Mohammed, or Youssef. So I'm Ahmed Youssef,   and Alexa is Fatima Lazuli.  

And then here,   my my name is Okina Karage,   which means big chicken.   And and hers is   Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai Kai  

[00:10:10] Benjamin Balderson:

I imagine so. I imagine so.   Very interesting.   So   tell us about the,   stories where, again, that's   is the story that the Christ figure,   this entire thing happened in Japan,   or   did he suppose   supposedly   leave   Israel and go to Japan after the crucifixion, or what's what's the deal with that?  

[00:10:41] Geoffrey Drumm:

So I don't know the entire story, but there is this tomb of Christ   in Northern Japan.   And I believe the story is that, you know,   I heard a very interesting   bit of research about this   that said that the crucifixion   was a mock crucifixion   and that it was intended to get   the the the figure known as Jesus Christ. Obviously, that's not his name.   You know, this guy was   a, basically, a religious and political rebel at the time, and the Romans wanted him out, you know, either either way, whether they were gonna kill him or get him out, but they they decided to stage like a mock crucifixion.   Somebody either substituted him on the cross or he didn't actually die, and they actually brought him brought him back using medicinal herbs you see in the in the bible text. They bring all these medicinal herbs into the tomb and they're doing something in there, you know, while he's in the so called tomb   that he actually lived. You know, whether he was substituted on the cross or they brought him, you know, he he somewhat died and they brought him back to life   and he survived.  

And the story is he either goes to India, which I've heard that he's buried in India, the tomb of Saint Isu   is I believe the the nomenclature used to describe that burial,   or he came to Japan.   You know, the story is that the the missing part of time in the Bible when he was an adolescent into being a young man Right. That he either traveled to India   or traveled to Japan   or, you know, was doing this sort of international travel, learning from spiritual gurus around the world,   returned back   to, you know I I don't I'm not a historian   or, you know, I don't know all the detail. It goes back to Israel or wherever,   you know, with all of these spiritual teachings,   starts dropping knowledge on the people, you know, transforming the religion and the politic of the area, and the Romans weren't having it. So they wanted to kill him. There was a mock crucifixion,   and then,   you know, he he he went packing and then went back to either India or Japan. But that's the story is that these people in Northern Japan,   I think he's actually buried with his brother. Isn't that the story that there's there's two tombs on the top of the hill? One of them is the tomb of Christ, and the other is the brother, brother of Christ.  



[00:13:07] Benjamin Balderson:

Thomas? The one that the other book is from?  

[00:13:10] Geoffrey Drumm:

Yeah. I don't I don't know the whole story. Again, we we haven't been up there. We've been to Amore, which is the the prefecture   where this tomb of Christ is supposed to be. And I don't I don't know the whole story.   I just happen to see it, you know, when you you move to a place, you start getting all these YouTube recommendations for stuff to watch and watch the little video on it. And there's I will say there is a huge connection between like the Hata clan, like I singing that thing. It's it's a star of David. The symbol for the Hata clan is the star of David.   And there's all of this,   you know, rhetoric and history and mythology   about this clan of   unusual people,   the Tengu. Right? The Tengu   is a   basically, a demon figure with this big long nose, and he's described as being a foreigner who comes to Japan. And with all this technology and the story of the Tengu is the story of the Israelite   diaspora.  

And   like I was saying with the ark of the covenant, there's most likely multiple of these ark artifacts.   And during the diaspora of the Israelites,   there were multiple of these arks that were taken to different areas all around the world.   And one of them was taken taken to Japan, and that's where you get this Mikoshi festival   where these guys are transporting the arc on their back, and there's there's these multiple transportation of this arc thing.   The place where it's said to have been   archaeological   excavations   in Mount Surugi   looking for the ark of the covenant. That was the actual,   impetus for the archaeological   excavation.  

So there's there's there's something weird going on here with the the Hata clan, the the Tengu. Again, if you Google the the the Tengu,   again, it looks like a a Jewish person.   And it's a white it's a white person. It's not it's not an indigenous Asian   Japanese person. It's a they're they're known as foreigners.   And it's this mysterious group of foreign people that showed up,   here in Japan in the ancient ancient   mythology. Same. Yeah. The black the black cube on the forehead. We were actually at a site and it has,   what what's that thing called? It's like Tefillin.  

It's the the   the the the. It's the the. It's the the.   No. But they have the the the black the black cube, the the Jewish prayer.   You know, they have a whole garb that they wrap the tape around. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They have the on the head. The Tengu has it to fill in on on his head.   So it is it's it's a represent they as they say, it's a demon, but that's just sort of a, you know, it's very stereotypical   representation of, you know, these forward people that came to Japan.   It's it's it's pretty crazy mythology. Nobody wants to acknowledge that that's actually what it is, but it's it's pretty clear if you look at the symbolism of the tengu and, you know, what it's actually telling you. The story is that there was a diaspora of Israelites,   and some of those people came here to Japan.  



[00:16:27] allen marcus:

And then they brought with them their history mythology, maybe it's in their books of Kabbalah to preserve them on the island. So they went to different countries to preserve this stuff so it wouldn't be destroyed.  

[00:16:39] Geoffrey Drumm:

It said that they're also the people that brought the Kofun building technology.   The the Japanese Kofun are these big,   they look like keyhole   shape,   somewhat pyramidal   type structures that are said to be the burial of some of the emperors, but they've never really excavated these things.   They're very particular about excavating ancient sites here in Japan.  

[00:17:04] Benjamin Balderson:

Is it because they still have more reverence for such things?  

[00:17:08] Geoffrey Drumm:

Yeah. They they, you know, they again, they they really respect ancient history and culture, and that is the general   explanation for why they don't is because if it, if it is a burial of an emperor,   it would be   disrespectful   to that emperor to actually excavate the tomb. So a lot of these things in in Japan are left unexcavated.  

[00:17:33] Benjamin Balderson:

So there could be some serious history that's just not been accessed.  

[00:17:37] Geoffrey Drumm:

Well, let me let me show you this thing on on Coromantu.   I don't wanna take up too much time because we gotta get to breakfast and stuff. But,   I wanna show you this because you were can I present my screen? Oh, yeah. Absolutely.  

[00:17:52] Benjamin Balderson:

Present always.   Explain explain the slave to your tattoos.   Explain that, please.   Explain the what? I agree. Comment in the chat. I was just chatting with the chat while you were pulling that up.  

[00:18:20] Steve :

Yeah. You need to kinda   Expand on  

[00:18:26] Benjamin Balderson:

that a little bit. On my tattoos? No. No. Well, no. No. No. Just the guy. I'm not even sure who he's talking about because I'm pretty much at least as covered in tattoos as you are.   And Steve's definitely got a his share of tattoos.  

[00:18:41] allen marcus:

And Me too. Probably. Marcus is is a pure white I'm a mystery box. You have to unwrap me to see what's in there. Marcus is pure.  

[00:18:48] Steve :

Marcus flies to Japan every year to get the traditional push poke   method of tattoo and has the full bodysuit that that particular group of people you were talking about earlier. It's the high value male experience.  

[00:19:01] allen marcus:

Yeah.  

[00:19:02] Steve :

Yeah. But, yeah, he just he he won't he won't bear it for the ladies on the it's a half Bitcoin buy in,   ladies. No. 2 Bitcoins.   $2.02   yeah. Half half of Bitcoin to get in on the bidding. Five bears. There's no arbitrage.   No arbitrage allowed. 2 Bitcoin minimum. Full value for high value mail. Full purchase. Yeah.  

[00:19:25] Benjamin Balderson:

So what do we have here, Jeffrey?  

[00:19:27] Geoffrey Drumm:

Okay. So can you can you see this screen? Yeah. Yanku Shrine. Yep. Okay. So this is a representation of you know, this is an AI creation   of the function of pyramid core manta.   So   I'll show you on Google Earth how these things are actually connected, but it is an artificial   pyramid mountain   that you can see here. And we went to see this thing during our first expedition in September   where we went to the Oyu Stone Circles. It's a it's a complex   of two interconnected   stone circle systems,   and there's an avenue of stones   very similar to the   West Hampton   And Beck Hampton   Avenues Of Stone at Avebury.  

So Avebury is also a stone circle complex that's connected by these   parallel avenues of stone.   So the parallel avenues of stone   run from the Big Pyramid   into the Stone Circle Complex.   And Pyramid Coramonta   has been excavated.   They did radar probes that indicate indicated artificial underground structures, and this is in the early nineteen nineties where they actually did excavations on the site. They discovered a sacred temple at the top of this thing, and there's all sorts of crazy stories   about this quote, unquote Pyramid Mountain   mainly regarding UFOs.  

So it started,   and they have this depiction here,   which is an old painting, Japanese painting.   This is the mountain here at the bottom   and this   floating UFO orb   depicted over the top of the mountain. And when you hike up to the top of this thing,   there's a very   obviously artificial   flat surface   at the top of the pyramid. And there's all these little UFO stickers and alien head stickers because people repeatedly see   UFOs,   these glowing orbs   in association with this pyramid.   And in my opinion,   it's it's ball lightning   is what they're seeing, which is this mysterious plasma phenomenon.  

You know, they're they're   they're not there's a bunch of different explanations for why these things happen. We don't know 100%   for sure what causes ball lightning, but it's these glowing spheres of light   that if you look at the description of what happens during ball lightning, it parallels very well with reported UFO phenomenon.   Like, all of these sort of strange sounds,   weird smells,   smells of sulfur and all this other kind of stuff. It's it's very interesting the connection between these two things. And interesting enough, obviously, ball lightning is usually associated with thunderstorms. It's it's   electric field charged   gas of some sort that becomes a plasma.  

Often, it has an odor of sulfur, which is also connected to these UFO   sightings.   There's also an interesting you know, Japan has all of this interesting mythology and,   gods and demons and all of these sort of characters. There's a   a a figure in Japanese mythology called the Raiju,   which is a thunder animal or beast that's associated with lightning and thunder, but it's not white lightning or thunder. It's said to be a white blue wolf or dog, and it flies around like a ball of lightning. So this is a   an ancient   Japanese   mythological   representation   of this   ball lightning phenomenon.  

And my work indicates, and my research has shown that the power source of all of these ancient structures around the world is connected to telluric currents from below   and lightning from above. And specifically here in Japan, there's tons of mythology about these lightning gods.   And this is indicative to me of a civilization that was well aware of the power source   ancient stone structures and specifically   pyramids.   So this is the book that was written by Asahi Suzuki,   which was one of the members of this archeological   excavation in the 1990s   called Pyramid of the Gods, the mystery of Coramonta.  

And   I just I just wanted to share this story with you guys because it's absolutely   the craziest thing that I've ever written from an archaeological   report.   So here he's talking about   they're beginning to do   the GPR   scanning   of this structure.   And   I'll go ahead and just read this. So to be precise, there's a substance or a structure at a depth of about five meters at the summit that has the property of disrupting the radio waves of the ground penetrating radar.   It is thought water has entered the depression   and the amount of retention is high. It is a similar phenomenon   to what we often see when we conduct surveys of coaxial   cables   buried underground.  

Either way, there is certainly something deep underground that is beyond our imagination.   So they're scanning this thing. They're finding all sorts of anomalous phenomenon as they start to scan the top of this thing.   Then they start doing the excavation.   So at the top, they notice another abnormal situation. The summit was a flat area about 20 meters square,   and there was a circular hole in the center   and possibly   a standing stone or menhirs. So my my research has indicated that these standing stone in menhirs   were   the proto obelisks.  

And these things are lightning rods   to, you know, function the same way a modern lightning rod functions,   which is to attract and then distribute that high voltage electric current into any particular system. So they found a big standing stone men here or obelisk   at the top of this pyramid structure that was buried into this circular hole. What sorry to to cut in, but what stone is conductive?  

[00:25:39] Steve :

What stone is conductive?   So stones are not conductive. Stones are actually dielectric materials. Right. That's what I thought. So how does it function as a lightning rod?  

[00:25:49] Geoffrey Drumm:

So it's when you have a high voltage   material or a rather a high voltage electric current, there's a phenomenon that occurs called dielectric breakdown   that   during,   a high voltage incident,   a dielectric material   will spontaneously   transform into a conductor die dielectric breakdown.   Number of sites, specifically the Ogaami Gaeshi Megalithic Circle   and also the,   what's the name of the other one? Oyu.   Not Oyu. The one at the top.   It it it skipped my mind, but there's a number of   stone circle and obelisk men here sites   that are made of andesite   stones here in Japan.  

The researchers from Kumamoto   University   have figured out that there so so these andesite stones have this crazy magnetic field surrounding the andesite stones.   And all of these stones are, like, scarred with these pockmarks and huge scars running down the side of the material.   So it's it's a it's only   so let me get back to answering your question.   Stone is only a conductor   under extremely high voltage,   and this is basically how   a a Lichtenberg figure forms. Are you familiar with a Lichtenberg figure? Yeah. Yeah.   So Lichtenberg figures happen when you have a dielectric material like, you know, wood or a piece of plastic   and you apply an extremely high voltage to that dielectric material,   the phenomenon will occur called dielectric breakdown   where the capacitance   for that dielectric material is exceeded   and the voltage will flow through the material.  

So that's what happens to these stones and also causes erosion and all of these,   scarring and pockmarking phenomenon.   But there's these   structures here. Again, these andesite stones that have this very powerful remnant magnetization,   and we've tested all these things with magnetometers.   So when you're walking up to the site,   the,   magnetic field in micro Tesla   is like ambient for around 40, maybe 50 micro Tesla.   But when you get up to these big stones, these andesite stones that have been struck by lightning, there is a remnant magnetic field that can go up to like a thousand micro Tesla.   So really, really strong magnetic fields surrounding these big pieces of stone   that have been struck by lightning.  

And there's one in particular,   the name of it, it's skipping my mind.   But it's like melted,   Oga Ma Gaishi. My my wife is here trying to refresh my memory. Oga Ma Gaishi is a huge magnetic,   andesite stone magnetic temple.   But that that to answer your question, that's that's how the   the current flows through the stone   dielectric breakdown.  

[00:28:56] Steve :

Okay.   Groovy.  

[00:29:00] Geoffrey Drumm:

No. No. Go ahead. Jump  

[00:29:01] Steve :

in. No. This is fascinating. Good. Good. Yeah. Am I still sharing here, or did that stop? No. It it it dropped.  

[00:29:09] Geoffrey Drumm:

Alright. Let me come back here.  

[00:29:12] allen marcus:

So all this stuff you've documented in your series of videos on your YouTube channel, the land of chem?  

[00:29:18] Geoffrey Drumm:

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. So we have   not only   site visits from all of these things, but then also specific research episodes. If anybody's watching, my my YouTube channel is called the land of chem, c h e m. And I have a whole   playlist   from all of our Japan   research   expeditions   and then subsequent follow-up videos presenting all of the,   the details. Let me go back here.   And for example, this this idea that   stone circles, men here, and obelisk   are connected to lightning.   This was actually corroborated   by the Saint Andrews University   that did a geomagnetic   survey   of the Calanace   stone circle,   and they discovered a magnetic   star in the center of this stone circle   that is from lightning strikes. This was, you know, at Saint Andrews University published a research paper   documenting   and providing evidence   that substantiates   the connection between stone circles,   obelisk, and men here, and lightning. And if you look at all of   the   men here and obelisk type structures that are still all around Europe, you'll you'll see the same scarring, pockmarking,   and basically destruction of the material because, you know, when a when a the phenomenon of dielectric breakdown occurs,   the dielectric material is not 100%   left intact. It it somewhat destroys the material as the voltage flows.  

You also see in the stone circles that like Avebury, for example,   there's vitrification   and melting of   basically the stone itself. And we have the same thing on the Giza Plateau   with the iron. I don't wanna get too far off track here,   but the iron veins of the Giza Plateau,   there's a huge network of iron oxide veins   that run through the entire Giza Plateau   in which we now have chemical analysis   data   that found fulgurites. We found little silica microspheres   from fulgurites.   So fulgurites,   fossilized lightning have been discovered in the iron vein network of the Giza Plateau   that also is connected to the function of a Lichtenberg figure for the distribution of high electric,   high voltage electric current into different components of the Giza Plateau system.  



[00:31:53] Benjamin Balderson:

That's cool.   I have a couple of full grate somewhere.  

[00:32:03] Geoffrey Drumm:

Alright. Let me jump back in here.   Okay. This is where   it starts to get a little crazy. And I I don't wanna, you know, sit here and read this, but there's no other way for me to it's better if I read the actual quote.   So as mentioned in chapter two,   the second Coramonta   comprehensive survey was carried out from April   1993.   As mentioned above, the underground radar and civil engineering survey equipment were used played a major role. So they were digging trenches   at the summit   of this artificial pyramid for the whole day.   After digging these trenches,   they were able to confirm that the entire area around the summit   was surrounded by stone paving stonework,   and that the summit was an artificially constructed   facility.  

So they discovered, and I'll show an image of this here in just a minute,   a stone circle temple   including an obelisk at the top of this flattened artificial pyramid.   It had already been clear that the slope of the mountain had a stepped structure,   but we now discover that the summit was also an artificial structure built on top of natural ground. This is a major discovery. So   as the sun went down and the rain began to fall,   suddenly, a pale blue flame   shot up from the top of the mountain.   It was shooting up vigorously   and diagonally.  

It looked just like the flame from a gas burner.   It is dangerous.   Normally, that would be   the normally, that would be the reaction. But this time, everyone was dumbfounded.   Speechless, they just stared at the flames in amazement.   After a while, some of the workers started saying, let's go. We have to see what happened. But the rain was coming down too hard, and they had to give up. However, the flames continued to burn vigorously,   turning red, green, and changing colors in various ways. Then suddenly, they went out.   So, again,   I apologize   for the translation. This book is entirely written in Japanese.  

So I had to Google translate and Google Lens translate this whole thing so I can read it. So there's a there's a bit of like grammar mistakes when in the translation.   So basically what happened   is he kind of explains it here. So did the gas rushing out from the hole react with water combust and interrupt in flames?   So during the excavations, you know, they're they're in here digging these trenches in the foundation stones of this artificial pyramid.   And he believes   that they cracked into   a possible underground chamber that contained pressurized gas.   And somehow this pressurized gas got ignited   that resulted in these flames shooting out of the top of the Pyramid Mountain.  

And this is this is the literal report from one of the archaeologists   that did this excavation.   He's also talking about here in the communications,   they're questioning whether there's communication   or iron   buried deep underground because they're getting all of these   anomalous readings with the GPR system.   So, again, this is kind of  

[00:35:38] Benjamin Balderson:

the flames turning different colors, that would tell you that different metals are getting burnt.  

[00:35:43] Geoffrey Drumm:

And so Different different metals and different type of gases.   And this would also explain the ball lightning phenomenon because you have to have a gas   of some sort to create the ball lightning.   So there there's definitely a connection between   the function of this structure. So again, artificial pyramid Mountain,   they found a stone circle. And here you can see an image of the recreation of the the kind of complex at the top of the mountain   and add a standing stone or obelisk at the top. And   inside of the pyramid, I actually have the the images. This is the recreation of what they found.   And let me   scan forward. Here's a diagram   showing the,   you know, kind of a recreation   of the GPR scan   where they think they found a box shaped object or   a chamber   embedded in the top of the mountain. And then there was a seven ringed,   a seven tiered ring shaped,   basically stone circle complex at the top of the at the top of the   pyramid.  

And then you can see the stepped  

[00:36:53] allen marcus:

structure of the pyramid that they found here. We're still seeing the scanned page with the text on it. We were showing us another figure   in a different window.   There it is.  

[00:37:13] Steve :

That's wild.  

[00:37:16] allen marcus:

Let's see here. So some of the stuff has probably never been   translated to English. No one's thought the  

[00:37:24] Geoffrey Drumm:

Yeah, no. I couldn't find an English. It's a super obscure book that my Japanese so we have a a Japanese friend that's,   been helping us   And he found this book and he's like, dude, you gotta read this thing. So he sent it to me and I just translated the whole thing on Google translate.  

[00:37:43] allen marcus:

Is the book itself about UFO   activity  

[00:37:47] Geoffrey Drumm:

or about No. No. It's basically just a report of   the archaeological   excavations. It's a it's a little literal archaeological   report, and he wrote the book to just tell the story of what was happened.   And then, like I said, the the the project was eventually abandoned   because   the members   of the team started to die mysteriously, so they they abandoned the project.  

[00:38:18] Steve :

Oh, wrong thing.  

[00:38:20] Geoffrey Drumm:

Am I up here now?  

[00:38:22] Steve :

Yeah. But it's us.  

[00:38:25] Benjamin Balderson:

There you go. There here it comes.  

[00:38:27] allen marcus:

Yeah. Yeah. That's us. Is that your desktop?   Do you have a if you open in the same tab, you have StreamYard open, it might be easier to select the tab.  

[00:38:43] Benjamin Balderson:

Let's see here.   Oh, yeah. Flying axe blade. The Japanese are very into farts. They've got a whole, a whole demons and shit that use farts for battles and shit. Jeez. It's it's kinda wild.   We did we did a whole weaving spiders episode where we talked about that, and it brought up Japanese art and different folklore and stuff. Lots of farts. Lots of farts. I get it.  

[00:39:14] allen marcus:

Natural gases.  

[00:39:15] Benjamin Balderson:

Have you found the food to be particularly gassy, Jeffrey?  

[00:39:20] Geoffrey Drumm:

Well, with the amount of protein that I eat on a daily basis, it's a constant battle   regardless regardless of where we live.  

[00:39:30] allen marcus:

So, I got some Wisconsin cheese here. Some food. Check. Check. Do they have a lot of cheese   and dairy?  

[00:39:38] Geoffrey Drumm:

No. The cheese here sucks.   And,   you know, when I get a cheeseburger,   I always like to have extra cheese.   And there's a couple of places where we go to get cheeseburgers here. And if you ask a Japanese person   for extra cheese,   it is   like they couldn't they can't even comprehend   the   concept   of putting extra anything. And they're like, they have to have a internal   conference call with the staff and management. They're like, oh, extra cheese.   And they go back and they're like,   and they're like, oh, sweet.   Oh,   no. Sorry. Sorry. No extra cheese.   So it's, like, one of the most challenging things to get them to put one extra slice of cheese on a burger.  

You know, the the cheese here sucks, and you can't you can't ask for anything to be modified here. It just comes the way it is. Yeah.   The concept of asking to so I don't   like onions,   and they put onions on everything here. So I have to say,   which is no no onion.   No. You know, like, they don't understand, like, yeah. No. Don't put onions on it, please. Do you describe it as a food allergy to say that you're allergic to allergies?   Well, so, again, I have very limited very limited Japanese speaking abilities. So,   I've just learned to say without onions,   and, eventually, they'll they'll figure it out.  



[00:41:11] allen marcus:

No disrespect to the chef intended.  

[00:41:14] Benjamin Balderson:

What do you mean without onions? We can't even make it without onions. What the fuck are you even talking   about? Of course, there's onions in it.  

[00:41:25] Geoffrey Drumm:

Anyway, I don't I don't know why my screen share isn't working anymore. It seems like we have there. Portal of a million things open. Hold on one second. Yeah. That just happened here. I'm not. We just saw it too.  

[00:41:37] allen marcus:

Yeah. Yeah.   So right the,  

[00:41:41] Benjamin Balderson:

forever effect. The only way I get around that is I have to use a different browser for my screen share.   Like, I can't use I can't use I use Firefox normally.   Mhmm. And if I wanna screen share something, I have to use that,   it's not No. Microsoft's   whatever.  

[00:41:59] allen marcus:

Chrome,  

[00:42:00] Benjamin Balderson:

probably. He's trying to figure his computer out. I think he dropped out.  

[00:42:06] allen marcus:

He'll be back. He's probably restarting.  

[00:42:09] Benjamin Balderson:

Yeah. Angry with the computer guys. Those those phantom,  

[00:42:13] Steve :

phantom   ghost Goddamn black, huge Japs.  

[00:42:18] allen marcus:

Tengu. Talking about the tangus and the spirits.  

[00:42:21] Benjamin Balderson:

Too many secrets Yeah. We anger the farts the fart monsters.   Right? Firefox. All the Yeah. Firefox works pretty good for, streaming stuff.   I didn't wanna use DuckDuckGo because they sold out, like, immediately.   Like, right when DuckDuckGo   was like, yeah. We're the we're the non   non tracking, non you know, not gonna block things, blah blah blah. And then, like, a month later, like, yeah. We do that shit,   like,   unapologetically.   Mhmm.  

[00:42:56] allen marcus:

Well, everyone's going to use everyone's data for   purposes.  

[00:43:01] Steve :

I got blocked on Twitter by the CEO of DuckDuckGo because I called him out over something, and he had this, like,   suit I can't even remember what it was, but it was a super lame answer. And he just sat there and roasted him until he blocked me.  

[00:43:16] Benjamin Balderson:

You've got you've gotta be fairly high up on the on the   most blocked.   I do okay.  

[00:43:26] allen marcus:

Yeah. You know? I mean, it'd be nice to have a list of everyone who's blocked you and then just  

[00:43:31] Benjamin Balderson:

I could start following I think Dan Dyer is the only person that's blocked me, I think.  

[00:43:38] allen marcus:

Maybe a Randall or two other ones that I've spent That's that's not a hard one blocked, though. He'll he'll block anything. No.  

[00:43:44] Benjamin Balderson:

I don't take much. That that's why I didn't even   bother   trying to chime in on the Very sweet. Weighing in on that. Like like,   I've got the easy one checked off.   You disagree with that dumb fuck, and he blocks you.  

[00:44:00] allen marcus:

Mhmm. Challenge him, Gone. Yep.   No. And I think blocked by Greg Carlwood  

[00:44:07] Steve :

on my slow news day account, but he follows the AM wake up account.  

[00:44:15] Benjamin Balderson:

I had a bunch of people when I was doing a lot of interviews.   I had a bunch of people want me to go on Carl Woods.   So I finally broke down, and I was like, well, you you wanna do this, Carl Woods? And then Carl would brought up that shit. Remember when he,   the whole Tracy the thing that surrounded Tracy Twyman and everything?   And Car Woods brought that up and was all crying about it. I'm like, I'm surprised you'd bring that up, dude. You were such a bitch about all that. Like and so, yeah, he blocked me.  

[00:44:46] allen marcus:

Yeah.   So Jesus Christ's brother   is   buried in Shingo,   Amori Prefecture.  

[00:45:00] Benjamin Balderson:

He's got a Japanese brother?  

[00:45:02] allen marcus:

Well, brother was a Japanese name. Yeah. Isekuri   Isekuri.   And the story origin in nineteen thirties, you know, alleged discovery of the tomb in 1935,   taking the idea of the diaspora   and what was happening with,   the small hat, big nose people   at that time,   kind of going to different locations,   and they were carrying with them a lot of their   text documents. So they'd preserve their text documents in different countries,   and then to preserve that stuff in different countries was an interesting thing. And then you well, we did bring up the idea that during the World War two period Oh, there is. There were,   there was a lot of destruction there. There we go. It's a curious case.  

Alright.  

[00:45:49] Geoffrey Drumm:

I'm back.  

[00:45:51] Benjamin Balderson:

Had to fight off Don't tell your thing yet. I gotta be quick.  

[00:45:54] allen marcus:

Tengu and Oni walked into a a bar.  

[00:45:58] Steve :

Tommy Iommi.  

[00:45:59] allen marcus:

Tommy what?  

[00:46:02] Geoffrey Drumm:

Yeah. The Oni is another   representation   of a Japanese demon or an ogre.   There are some,   what I call passage chambers, basically like what we have at Newgrange.   Mhmm. There's the exact same type of structures here in Japan that have the same   long passage   and enclosed   internal chamber system.   And there's one that we visited. It's a it's said to have been built by an oni, which is like this ogre demon   type figure that's   also sort of a symbolic representation of a of a foreigner.   Yeah.  

[00:46:40] allen marcus:

There was a big time when   when Japan started shipping out stereos and things   that Americans started importing ninjas   and Japanese culture ideas and not quite getting it right. For that brief period, there was a lot of ninjas,   and everyone was like a Japanese martial artist   in American movies, whether they're good or bad or three ninja strike back.   A lot of the   oni stuff, the demon stuff, the spiritual stuff, the animism stuff didn't quite translate to an American audience who is very much of the Christian persuasion.   So you start telling them the demon stories of Tran, and they're like,   no. A lot a lot of people didn't even like pocket monsters. A lot of Christians and Catholics were not allowing their children to participate in the pocket monster situations.  



[00:47:30] Benjamin Balderson:

Just like, Labooboo.   Is Labooboo a thing over there, Jeffrey?  

[00:47:37] Geoffrey Drumm:

I don't know that I you know, again, we we kinda live out in the middle of nowhere, like, really intentionally   in very rural   Japan   in, like, a small fishing village. Like, everybody in our neighborhood has gotta be 90 years old.   And they were very surprised to see some white people roll up when we first moved into our house.  

[00:47:57] allen marcus:

They've been advertising. They've been asking for young people to move   into small   villages.  

[00:48:05] Geoffrey Drumm:

Yeah. So there's lots of houses here that,   you know, for whatever various reason, there's a bunch of uninhabited   Japanese houses.   And the Japanese government does allow   foreigners to purchase homes here in Japan.   And you can often do so for a very, very cheap   there are stipulations   that the home has to be renovated and brought up to spec   in a certain amount of time. That's sort of the catch. You know, you can buy this thing for a couple, you know, maybe $10 or something, you buy a big ass house,   having to renovate that house and bring it back up to code in a certain certain time frame.   So there is lots of   incentive for foreigners to buy and lit well, they can buy, but you can't live here unless you have a visa of some sort, which is a challenge in and of itself.  



[00:48:59] allen marcus:

So that's kind of the stimulate the economy to bring in young people   to   to make sure there's a workforce in some of these small towns.  

[00:49:08] Geoffrey Drumm:

Well, I think they're just tricking foreigners into buying these houses so they can get the shit cleaned up and they don't have to do it themselves.   But then there's also, you know, a lot of,   from a real real realty perspective,   you know, people can buy these houses, fix them up, and then resell them. So there's certainly a, you know, a financial incentive for people to buy and renovate these homes.  

[00:49:34] allen marcus:

Do they seem to need outside   financials for people outside the population to bring in their their money?  

[00:49:41] Geoffrey Drumm:

So so the problem, like, even even here in our local area,   the population in Japan is aging.   They also have a reproduction   problem here.   And   generally speaking, you get this idea that Japan has a very powerful workforce, but I really don't think that's the case anymore here.   You know, in in our local area,   you know, it's it's the fishing industry is dying out because, you know, the   the children of these elderly fisher people, they don't wanna do it anymore. So there's, like, all these abandoned boats in the harbors and, you know, things are kind of somewhat in the state of disrepair,   just because the people are aging out and people are either moving out or they're moving to Tokyo to work for companies.  

So there there's definitely a workforce   issue here,   but I don't think there's,   you know, they don't want foreigners doing it either.   As much as we love Japan,   there is definitely a sense of slight racism here.   Japanese people obviously   do not love foreigners,   specifically Americans.   Also from a representation   of asshole tourists who disrespect the culture. There's a lot of that going on on   social media.   And,   but, you know,   especially the old folks who remember World War II, we've run into a couple of those too where the guy was like, so we went to this, it was a Shinto shrine.   And we got invited to participate   in the   the ritual or ceremony by the the lead guy, the priest, head priest at the Shinto shrine. So we go through this very   beautiful   ritual. And at the end, he was coming up and talking to us and he's like saying something like, oh, yeah, you guys burned our country to the ground and now you're here.  

You know,   we were like,   you know, it's like Yeah. And that's that's very much kind of how the Japanese culture is where it's like   nobody ever says anything outright. It's all very subtle and inklings of, you know, the true feelings.   But, you know, they remember.   And, you know, there's there's certainly some of that that's that's still present in the culture where they're they're not fond of of foreigners, generally speaking.  

[00:52:03] Benjamin Balderson:

Yeah. We we fucking exploded the greatest weapons of fucking destruction   up to the   time, on them on their islands. That's a slightly big deal.  

[00:52:14] Geoffrey Drumm:

This is true.   They started it.   Yeah.   Yeah.   But Don't don't start shit you can't finish.  

[00:52:23] Benjamin Balderson:

But, you know, that that level of destruction had never been brought out on the world Yeah. Yeah. Nor since. You know?   Like, they're like, hey. You know, do you really think that you needed a bazooka when I just punched you in the shoulder?   Like, come on.  

[00:52:42] Geoffrey Drumm:

Yeah. It's it's crazy. But, yeah, the no. The older the older generation, you definitely get a sense that they're they're they're not. And again, there are so many asshole tourists here that come and and make a make a bad name for everyone.   But that's why we specifically,   you know, either living in Egypt or living in Japan,   profound   effort to assimilate to the culture. And I can I can order at a restaurant completely in Japanese, and I can ask questions in Japanese? And as soon as you start to speak a little bit of the language   general signs of respect that people do here,   they acknowledge that very quickly, and they certainly certainly appreciate that.  



[00:53:24] Benjamin Balderson:

Yeah. It's not like we don't get our share of asshole tourists from other countries.  

[00:53:28] Geoffrey Drumm:

Sure. Yeah. It happens it happens everywhere.  

[00:53:31] Benjamin Balderson:

Yeah. Exactly. Something about being a tourist just makes you be an asshole most of the time.   Like, every year up in Montana and Wyoming, I like watching the ones that go up and they decide buffalo or, you know, that,   buffalo or bison or giant pets, and then they get stampeded by freaking buffalo. You're like  

[00:53:53] allen marcus:

Yeah. There's   there's sometimes seasons in around Yellowstone where there's more   Japanese and Chinese tourists than American tourists.   Just touring on Yellowstone and Wyoming area.  

[00:54:06] Benjamin Balderson:

Yep.   Yep.  

[00:54:09] Geoffrey Drumm:

Oh, the Chinese are movers, man. So in even in Egypt and also here,   see the biggest tour groups of of Chinese people, like huge, huge tours of Chinese people in Egypt and then also here in Japan.   Because again, when we were here our first time,   our buddy Teru was with us.   Difficult for me to determine which is which, but he can immediately see a Chinese person and know that it's a Chinese person. He's like, oh, those are a huge group of Chinese. You know, they they'll be like 75.  

[00:54:42] allen marcus:

Do they smell different?  

[00:54:45] Geoffrey Drumm:

I'm certain they sure is. Our facial structure is different.   Yeah. I mean, now that I've spent some time here,   I I we were we were kind of having a competition of who could spot the the foreign Asian person. And if we could figure out what what their but, like, you know, y'all hear some people, you know, especially when they start to speak, it's a lot easier to   determine who's who and what's what.  

[00:55:12] Benjamin Balderson:

Yeah. I've always found Chinese to have more of a roundy face.  

[00:55:16] Geoffrey Drumm:

Yeah. It is. It's a rounder rounder face. Yeah.  

[00:55:20] Benjamin Balderson:

Yeah.   I I think Japanese people are more attractive. Like, Jeffrey was saying earlier that there's a lot of very effeminate men. I can believe that.  

[00:55:30] allen marcus:

They like you. Like Taiwan.  

[00:55:35] Benjamin Balderson:

That's that's sad.  

[00:55:39] allen marcus:

That was an interesting question. There's a do you know the band Malice Mizer or some of the visual   performance bands out of Japan, like X Japan or others,   Duren Gray or something? I don't know even know how to say it correctly. But I had the question because there's a lot of   men who will dress as women in Japanese, and I wonder, is that the same as, like, Americans in drag?   Is it is it even thought of in the same way?  

[00:56:08] Geoffrey Drumm:

So here,   I haven't seen   well, that's not true. We literally went to a huge drag show.  

[00:56:16] allen marcus:

Right.   So from But I mean, I guess   does it seem just more theatrical like Shakespeare had men playing women's roles, this type of thing. It was more of a theatrical thing and less of   a of a sexual identity thing.  

[00:56:33] Geoffrey Drumm:

Well, so there's,   there's, you know, like, the k pop type   thing.   That that sort of, aesthetic   wildly   popular here.   And if you're walking around in Osaka or Kobe and you look at the men   Yeah. All of them are wearing makeup  

[00:56:53] allen marcus:

Right.  

[00:56:53] Geoffrey Drumm:

It it would be sometimes very difficult to determine if it was even a man or a woman, you know, all sorts of product and they're they're very made up and that aesthetic is very popular here   for straight men. And they have these things called host and hostess clubs   where you can pay to go in   and   it's not like a it's like a strip club but without the nudity.   Where   they sort of cater to these people and they flirt and they joke and they, you know, feed you drinks and all this kind of stuff and   theatrical perspective,   I don't get it like this sort of cartoony   anime,   adolescent,   you know, the the women will dress up in these   kind of crazy anime type outfits and it's like,   I don't know, it's it's it's odd to me, but it's part of the culture here, this cartoony anime theatrical,   you know, they put on this   obviously, it's it's a persona or whatever it is that Yeah.  

I don't necessarily get all that, but there is certainly some of that here for sure.  

[00:58:02] allen marcus:

You're walking around with   a pretty full beard.   Do a lot of the Japanese men even attempt to grow beards?  

[00:58:10] Geoffrey Drumm:

No. No. I mean, like,   I'll go to any major city and I'm I obviously, I'm I'm a bigger guy, so I kinda stick out anyway.   And having a big beard and looking like a Viking guy walking around, I get, you know, a lot of heads turn when when people it's very, very rare to see a beard here.  

[00:58:29] allen marcus:

So then   it's it's the men themselves   already have an adrages appearance without having extra facial hair. So for them to put on some big style elaborate French style   dress and makeup and a big wig,   it it probably isn't such a huge,   leap of logic to figure out, well, they already look that way so they can perform in that. They're playing a bass or they're in a rock band. It makes sense. Whereas in America,   I think the situation of cross dressing or drag is a little bit different because a lot of men here have beards, so they have to shave their beards, remove all the body hair.   But, again, these cultural differences between Japan and America   don't quite   make sense. We don't Americans don't really have a frame of reference for it, so they just think it's weird and unusual.  

But for the Japanese, it's that's their culture. They they have understandings, like, way back, and they understand   the vegetables and the demons and the oka and the spirits and all these things. And then when they bring that stuff to America and anime series and video games, the translations   are very difficult. And to do a literal translation   won't make any sense to Americans.  

[00:59:44] Geoffrey Drumm:

Well, it's, you know, again, talking about living in in Egypt and living in Japan.   Both of those cultures   are as far different as it could possibly be from what we know in America. And that was one of the things that was attractive to me about living in Egypt because it was such an exotic place and the people are,   you know, people are people. When you go to the mall   in Egypt, it's the exact same as a mall in America. You know, there's absolutely nothing different. The people are dressed a little different. The ladies have hijabs on, but it's it's the exact same experience where, you know, the kiosk guys are hollering at girls and you're walking around and there's groups of teenagers running around. It's it's the exact same thing. But then you get into these sort of nuances   of the culture   and things can be very, very different.  

And,   you know, that's it's a good thing about I think that's one of the positives about international travel is exposing yourself to those different things and,   appreciating the differences   even though you don't understand them.  

[01:00:50] Benjamin Balderson:

Yeah.   100%.   I I've tried to go to every cultural   event that I've had availability   to   and religious event and whatnot. And I, you know, very seldomly do I agree with what's going on or or being   said, but I don't have to. This is their thing. I'm just observing it, and it's it's very interesting and a lot of times very beautiful to observe.  

[01:01:17] Geoffrey Drumm:

Yeah. So let me let me try to share this thing one more time and and just got I know your audience  

[01:01:23] allen marcus:

I don't know if Steve is here to approve it. Steve might not be here to approve it. He's kinda   I don't know. He's got a morning show he's prepping for in the morning. So it might just be voice only from now on.  

[01:01:34] Benjamin Balderson:

Yeah. I don't think we can help you share the screen. Steve's the one that has to allow that to go through.  

[01:01:41] allen marcus:

Running on his Rumble channel, broadcasting to our YouTube as well.  

[01:01:45] Geoffrey Drumm:

How about now?  

[01:01:47] Benjamin Balderson:

I'm not able to approve it. I don't know. We we we can't pull it up, Jeffrey. Steve's our guy. This is our guy. Steve Steve went to bed, and he's the one who got who pulls things up. Oh, okay.   If you have a presentation  

[01:02:02] allen marcus:

in a in your in a video on your Land of Chem YouTube channel, we'll be able to reference that. Yeah. It's episode one forty seven for everyone that wants to to,  

[01:02:12] Geoffrey Drumm:

watch the actual video.   Story short, the guy goes on to talk about how they discovered a granite chamber inside of the top of this mountain, and he's making comparisons between the Great Pyramids Of Giza and Pyramid Coramonta.   And then he goes on to talk   about, you know, how this is basically chemistry based technology,   which is exactly right up my alley regarding my hypothesis about the function of the Egyptian Pyramids   being a series of chemical reactors.   He's like, obviously, it's some sort of chemistry   going on inside of this pyramid that causes this fire gas to escape out of the top. And this guy was so close, but he never actually sort of pinpointed that that was the actual function of what this thing may have been.  

And then I I go on in the episode to connect   how the voltage   from lightning strikes on the top of the pyramid   that drive the chemical reactions   are   distributed   into the stone circle systems where that electric field is accumulated in these stone circles. So there's, there's a connection between the function of the pyramid,   the stone avenue, and also the stone circles.  

[01:03:24] allen marcus:

Ah. So it's like a It's fascinating. These  

[01:03:27] Geoffrey Drumm:

things are all over Japan.  

[01:03:29] allen marcus:

This works like a refinery?  

[01:03:32] Geoffrey Drumm:

So   it's difficult. So in in terms of the Egyptian Pyramids,   it goes from   it's all about natural resource exploitation   and converting the natural resources at the particular site into any chemical. So in Egypt, they have abundant   natural gas,   methane.   And Right. I've proposed that the Step Pyramid was designed to extract   deposits of bedrock methane.   That methane was then converted into ammonia   in the Red Pyramid, which is then converted into either urea or nitric acid in the Bed Pyramid.   On the Giza Plateau,   I recently found a paper. So, you know, this SAR scan where they're finding these this bullshit underground.  

I found a geological   paper   that talks about the cave and tunnel system below the Giza Plateau and   deposits   of hydrogen sulfide.   So hydrogen sulfide gas   coming up from below the Giza Plateau. Well, hydrogen sulfide was the source raw material that was utilized in the function of the Great Pyramid for the production of sulfuric acid.   Huge   iron ore mineral cave system running below the Giza Plateau. And I've personally been down inside of it.   Check out my episode   on the Tomb Of The Birds   and the cave and tunnel system running below the Giza Plateau. The the Tomb Of The Birds Tunnel is a huge iron ore cave   that was also connected to the mining operations on the Giza Plateau.  

So, yes,   a refinery, yes. It it it it just it would just depend on sort of the natural resources at the site.  

[01:05:18] Benjamin Balderson:

So that's like looking at making something that's acidic, you need it to be hydrogenated. That's the difference between an acid and a base is the hydrogen.   Acid's hydrogenated.  

[01:05:29] Geoffrey Drumm:

So that's the key components that you're gonna need right there. Yeah. So they literally had a source of the the raw material,   initial chemical reactant   coming from below the Giza Plateau, which is one of the reasons why they built the pyramids on top of the Giza Plateau. It's a very strategic   location.  

[01:05:48] allen marcus:

So this is large large   level   industrial chemical refineries?  

[01:05:53] Geoffrey Drumm:

Correct. Yeah. That's that's overall the overall scope of my hypothesis on the function of the Egyptian Pyramids is industrial scale chemical manufacturing   with a primary focus on applications   being,   agricultural   fertilizers   and metallurgy.  

[01:06:10] allen marcus:

Was there a large population   around this industrial   chemical refinery area, or was it sort of, like, dangerous   and military use only or government officials?  

[01:06:21] Geoffrey Drumm:

So in regard to Egypt, the the time frame where I think the Egyptian Pyramids were operational   is around eighty five hundred BC to fifty three hundred BC,   green,   lush, fertile area. And the evidence of the population   was no longer concentrated   around the Nile River. People had started to move   out into the Upper Eastern Sahara and away from the Nile River because there was a ton of arable farmland   during that approximate three thousand year time period.   And I've proposed   function of the Egyptian Pyramids is directly connected to the   existence of the Saharan wet period   for bringing   rain,   fertilizer,   and transforming the desert into farmland.  

So one of my other hypotheses is about these White Horse Hills   that are all over a place called Wiltshire, England, which is basically where Avebury and Stonehenge are kind of in this area.   And there are these hills   that according to my research   were designed to create cumulonimbus   thunderstorm   clouds.   And the white horse is a symbol   across a ton of ancient mythology.   It is directly connected to thunderstorm and lightning.   So they they've inscribed on these hills, these white horses.   A lot of these things are relatively modern that are done by the land owners,   but one that is ancient is called the Uffington   White Horse,   which is dated back to the Neolithic period approximately   3,000 BC, where they carved a horse into the white chalk   hillside   of this particular structure. And then they sort of copy that into the modern era where people that are in the know   have emblazoned this white horse symbol on these landscape features   that were designed in the ancient time for the production of cumulonimbus   thunderstorms clouds, which is basically creating a localized lightning storm.  



[01:08:32] allen marcus:

Would you be safe, using the word geoengineering to describe this process? Terraforming.   Terraforming?  

[01:08:39] Geoffrey Drumm:

Yeah.   And I have a a full episode talking about that as well on the channel. I remember. I watched I watched those episode. For our new listeners, I'm trying to catch them up to the awesomeness of the work of the lineup chem channel. And I believe I have to trash cats. The trash cats channel. I got an Egyptian trash cats. The best the best channel on YouTube. New cats?  

[01:09:00] allen marcus:

New trash?  

[01:09:02] Geoffrey Drumm:

So, you know, the the population of Egyptian trash cats is always changing. It's a constantly fluctuating number.   You know, here in Japan, there's a lot less,   but we do have one,   that I kind of he was he was here last time and I don't know who actually feeds this guy on a regular basis, but I call him Mochi,   the little street cat here that that runs around. And,   I kind of lured him over to the house the other night. So he's been hanging he's been hanging around here for the past couple of days. We've only been here well, we've been here for a month now,   and we'll be here for two more months.  

And then we go back to Egypt   for a big tour   at the October,   November.   Then we'll be in Egypt through November, and then we're coming back to The States.   You know, we both gotta visit some family, and it's been a while since we've been home. And   I'm gonna do a run of a couple couple of different podcasts while we're in The States,   that require in person appearances and Oh. So we have going on. Got some shows booked Jones or somebody like that? Yeah. Yeah. I already did Danny Jones. I'm doing a second second appearance. Saw it, Danny. I saw it, and I was I was pretty impressed.   Yeah. Danny's Danny's a cool guy, and so he's he's having me back on. I'm also gonna do, Matt Matt Ball, Matt Bial,   limitless   podcast.  

They both they both live down in the in the Florida, pretty close to each other in Florida, so I'll do both of those while I'm there.  

[01:10:37] Benjamin Balderson:

Very nice. Very nice. You're going to Florida, are you?  

[01:10:41] Geoffrey Drumm:

Yeah. Yeah. It's gonna be winter. So, I mean, you know, we went to, you know,   last time we were in Tampa, it was it was really, really nice.   But we're actually right near the beach here, and the beach is here, man. It's beautiful.  

[01:10:57] allen marcus:

Lot of surfers, surfboards.  

[01:11:00] Geoffrey Drumm:

So, you know, the area where we are has, like, no waves.   There's there's no waves at all. I mean, it's just completely flat.   I see life. But there is   an amazing beach area that we found   somehow, I mean, it's like this crazy forest   right next to the beach.   And these trees are growing in basically   sand type soil, and it's like a bonsai tree forest   right next to the beach. So we like to walk around these areas,   you know, with our shoes off. So we're walking around with our shoes off in this bonsai tree forest right next to the beach the other day.   It was   really, really cool.  



[01:11:45] Benjamin Balderson:

Actually, sand is a really excellent medium to grow in as long as you, get the mycelium up. You get a good fungal count.   Yeah.   Elaine Elaine Ingham   went to Australia and went to the desert and turned desert into a food forest in a matter of just months.   And just specifically by bringing up the mycelium in the soil.  

[01:12:08] Geoffrey Drumm:

You should do that. Or into the   sand.   Yeah. My wife was,   she she used to do,   what is   the the name of that mushroom somewhere other? Oh, mycology? Mycology. And she she used to do that as a part of her career. So we we love doing mushroom hunting stuff. Nice. A lot of mushrooms in Japan.   So   when we were here last time, it was winter and it was brutally cold.   So it wasn't the season.   Unusually dry   summer.   So neither one of those two conditions are super conducive.   You want to catch it in the spring and in the fall is like mushroom season here. So   we haven't really seen too many grocery stores?  

Oh, yeah. All over the place. Yeah. Yeah. Tons of tons of mushroom. The the food here is fantastic. It's it's the best in the world.  

[01:13:05] Benjamin Balderson:

Yeah. We were literally just talking about mushrooms earlier. I I live in Humboldt County, which is one of the mushroom capitals of The United States. So during the right seasons, we can pick just pounds and pounds of mushrooms every day.   Yeah.  

[01:13:20] allen marcus:

We've had a wet season in Minnesota. It's it's it's it hasn't gone more than six days without rain all summer long. So it's been green and wet, and the mushrooms are starting to sprout   in Minnesota.  

[01:13:35] Geoffrey Drumm:

Where in Minnesota, if you don't mind saying, Bory? You can message me privately. Northern around Mille Lacs Lake area.   I know where that is.   Say again?  

[01:13:46] allen marcus:

Near Mille Lacs Lake. Oh,  

[01:13:48] Geoffrey Drumm:

yes.   Best station. K. I'll I'll hit you up. We may be in the area.  

[01:13:54] allen marcus:

Cool.  

[01:13:56] Geoffrey Drumm:

Oh, nice. Nice. What the hell is going on in Minnesota now? Jesus.   Do we wanna go back? Yeah.   You don't have to comment on that, but geez. Jesus, man. I'm If you get to get to the airport and get out there. Minneapolis is Yeah. Even when I lived there back in the nineties,  

[01:14:13] Benjamin Balderson:

Minneapolis was super liberal. It was very violent back then, though. That was before the the nineties crime bill had taken over. It was super violent in the mid nineties in in Minneapolis, but also   super liberal.   Like, if you went downtown,   there wasn't just the gay nineties, which was just this gigantic   biggest club in Downtown Minneapolis.   There's three other gay clubs within a two block radius.  

[01:14:42] allen marcus:

Oh, all the bars in the Twin Cities are gay bars.   They're all gay bars, so don't even worry about   it. Just expect it.   All the tea houses as well.   I'm saying this is a guy who   was, college in Saint Paul and went as a Christian college student from a bible college.   We just figured that out and wasn't a problem. We just we knew what to expect. If you go not knowing what to expect, then it might be a surprise to some people, but we figured that out. A lot of whore houses in Minneapolis  

[01:15:13] Benjamin Balderson:

when I was young.   A whole lot   of whore houses.  

[01:15:20] allen marcus:

Yeah. The metropolitan area, Twin Cities, Saint Paul, Minneapolis expanding outward. It's   it's it's a very different place than   Northern Minnesota,   further South, further east, further west. But once you get out of that clump of the metropolitan area, it's a lot lot different.   So what's happening is You're you're up there by Saint Cloud and shit. There you go. Area, there's a lot of Somali   a lot of Somali people brought in. That's a lot of Somali people. With the with the University of Minnesota being such a huge attractor to a lot of different people,   there's a lot of non Minnesotan   not a not non native Minnesotans attending the University of Minnesota,   and then they kind of stay here.  

And then a lot of Mexicans come up, and they like the farming and the work here too because there's a lot of lakes and rivers. So we have a lot of different people coming to Minnesota.  

[01:16:14] Benjamin Balderson:

I'm not seeing any Liberty caps out   just in the wild.   Although the mushrooms, it's pretty much legal in California. It's legalized in some places   and decriminalized.   And   so, yeah, there's it's it's a lot of penis envy floating around. That one seems to be the popular one.  

[01:16:35] allen marcus:

Those are   fun. Haven't seen those in a few seasons. For weeds is such a problem, Jeffrey.  

[01:16:42] Benjamin Balderson:

Do what? Why you gotta keep moving to countries where weeds, like,   horribly illegal?  

[01:16:48] Geoffrey Drumm:

Well, I haven't partaken since I moved out of The US.   Wow.  

[01:16:54] Benjamin Balderson:

I I got I got to send him on his farewell.  

[01:16:57] Geoffrey Drumm:

Yeah. It's been almost   three years.  

[01:17:02] Benjamin Balderson:

He's still a little bit high from them dabs too. They're just now wearing off. Yeah. I never I never really recovered then.   Freeman, when we seen Freeman a couple we've seen Freeman last year.   And he's like, at first, he's like, no.   No. No. That's too much for me. And then and then everybody started praying. He's like,  

[01:17:26] Geoffrey Drumm:

yeah, baby. Stop.   Yeah.   Yeah.  

[01:17:31] allen marcus:

It's incredible. Just just remember again. Snap your fingers and it you're I'm high again. It's incredible technology.  

[01:17:41] Benjamin Balderson:

PS envy, Sherry's new password now.  

[01:17:45] Geoffrey Drumm:

Alright, guys. It's almost it's almost 2PM here, so I need to go make some breakfast. We got up late today. No worries. Appreciate it, John. Thank you so much. Breakfast.  

[01:17:54] allen marcus:

When you're in The States, be on my Instagram.  

[01:17:57] Geoffrey Drumm:

Thank you very much for coming on, Jeffrey. It's always a pleasure hanging out with you, brother. Awesome. It's really good to see you guys. I love I love being able to you know, it's it's the time zone somehow coordinates here, and I I saw you guys on this morning, so it's always good to chat and say hello. I miss you guys.  

[01:18:12] Benjamin Balderson:

Oh, we miss you too, man. If you happen to make it to California,   absolutely hit me up. You know that.  

[01:18:19] Geoffrey Drumm:

So we're talking about doing   some stuff   in The US. I don't know exactly what we're gonna do quite yet.   You know, there's there's some ancient mounds and, you know, some of this, that, and the other to look at. So,   we're gonna be there for a little while. It's a bit of an extended return trip because we got some other stuff to take care of while we're there.   So it's possible.  

[01:18:45] Benjamin Balderson:

Well, if it happens, you hit me up, and we'll we'll make something happen, brother. Love to hang out with you again.  

[01:18:50] Geoffrey Drumm:

Absolutely. Will do, guys.  

[01:18:53] Benjamin Balderson:

Thanks. Thanks.   Everybody, go check out Land Of Kim.   Get his book.  

[01:18:58] Geoffrey Drumm:

Jeffrey's the shit. I appreciate that. We'll talk to you guys soon. Thank you. Later, brother. Alright. Later.  

[01:19:07] Steve :

Dog face. Dog face. Dog face. Dude? Dog face. Dog face. Dude. Dude.   Dude.
