But this is a kind of – Conspiracy theory that's being proposed that the Spanish Cortez and Pizarro and others who were involved in the conquest of the Americas that they got together and they created a fiction and then they made the indigenous people believe that fiction while accepting everything else that the indigenous people believe that was a fiction.
There's no document which says that Spaniards conspired to create these stories. I believe that when we find them in Mexico, when we find them in Peru, when we find them in Colombia, when we find them in Bolivia, we are looking at indigenous traditions. And I have no doubt that the Spanish saw those traditions and said, we can use this. We can take advantage of this. We can exploit this.
But I don't think they made up the traditions.
Yeah. Yeah. It's about that. That's about what it comes to.
Yeah, I suspect.
Yeah.
Very, very recently. I think Santa and I went to Denisova Cave in 2013. Crazy. Something like that.
Previously unknown. And there's so much that's unknown about our past.
Interesting theory.
It certainly wasn't. I think you're looking around 2000s, 2010 maybe.
It's like a small version of Bigfoot.
Why not? Why not? Why should it be impossible? It has a parallel with the Bigfoot story, of course, a different size of creature. But maybe creatures have survived, which we think are extinct.
Yeah.
That's what I'm so grateful to the universe for and so grateful to my readers for is that I have been given this opportunity to live a fun life. and to travel the world and to investigate mysteries and to put across my point of view on those mysteries. I couldn't do any of that if it wasn't for my readers. I've never had sponsorship. I've never sought anybody to fund me to do anything.
I started out massively in debt. I've got to the place now where I can travel whenever I want and explore places. And that's all down to my readers. It's not just me. It's me and my readers that are making this possible. And I'm enormously grateful to them. And these days, my viewers as well. You're a very lucky man.
Exactly. That's why I don't see – I'm 74 years old now. I don't see myself retiring. The idea of retirement is just out of the question to me. You try to retire. I'll go find you. I'm going to go grab you, drag you out. Give you some vitamins. I love doing what I do. And I hope it's contributed something useful to the world rather than just flim-flam.
That's what brought me into this field. Before that, I wrote all about current affairs.
Cataracts over their eyes. And let's not forget that there's an indigenous population of Old Testament Jews in Ethiopia, the Falashas, who have their own story about how the Ark of the Covenant happened. got there, different from the Ethiopian national epic, which is called the Kebra Nagast, the glory of kings. That's why I got into this field.
I was a current affairs guy, and Ethiopia was on my beat. And I just kept on coming across this story. And I realized it was central to Ethiopian culture. And I decided to investigate it and explore it. And it led to The Sign and the Seal, which was published in 1992. And that's what set me on the path to Fingerprints of the Gods and everything that followed that. So who is getting the cataracts?
The guardian of the Ark. This is a monk who is appointed. The place is Aksum in the province of Tigray in northern Ethiopia. It's a massively interesting place. Aksum has these huge granite stele. They're very similar in many ways to ancient Egyptian obelisks.
