If you go out there, you'll feel like you're in a primordial place that's, you know, kind of spiritual. I'm down. Yeah.
I feel like I could have talked to you for 10 more hours.
Yeah. So everything I do is just under my name, Luke Caverns. You know, Caverns was just a name that like my wife and I came up with to use like a nomer because of privacy. But my real last name is Reagan. And, you know, I like I shared I have this family history and loosely connected to the presidential family. That's like a different branch of our family. Oh, wow. From Tennessee. Yeah.
and um and so i kind of want to do it for privacy but like that's impossible so i just i've just run with it and uh but yeah loot caverns you can find you can find everything i do under that and uh you know i for a long time i thought maybe i'd specialize in one area but man i'm interested in in in the ancient history of the entire world and and uh i'm just always going to embrace that and explore the explore the ancient world on foot and um yeah
Thank you for being here. It was really fun. Thank you.
Like, I'm not saying that the acid could dissolve and soften the stone to make it like a cinnamon roll. I just mean it softened it where it was compressed by half an inch. With the Americas, it's like we're studying aliens, right? Because they're so different from the Western mindset.
The dilemma that we have with studying the Maya is the same dilemma that we have with studying the Egyptians in that we look at them the way they wanted to be looked at. Their propaganda worked and it worked for all of eternity. The big mystery here is that the ancient Egyptian lotus flower does not exist anymore. They used them so much and they were so popular that they went completely extinct.
He's like describing the experience of the lotus flower. He says, when you take of the lotus flower, your mind expands and your eyes become imbued with dynamic properties. And we have this idea of Egyptians living in the desert. They didn't live in the desert. They lived in the fertile oasis on the green Nile, walking on grass every single day. God's really out there. He's far away and distant.
It doesn't have a lot to do with our lives, but here's what we can do to control our lives. That began in Athens in the 5th century. That is such a perfect example of who the Athenians are as a people. Their central piece of public architecture is not a pyramid. It's not a coliseum. It's just an open colonnade building for people to meet and talk to one another.
And they drew the line in the sand on that day in the early 5th century BC between West and East. And that's where Western society was born on that day.
Yeah, man. Thanks for having me back. The studio has evolved so much since I've been here.
It feels like I'm in a real studio this time. I walked in, and it was like I was on the set of a TV show or something. I just love it. The colors are so vibrant, and I don't know. It's just like you guys have just evolved so much in the last, what's it been, a year and a half?
So yeah, a lot of evolution and the vases have multiplied. Yep. But yeah, man, I'm just happy to see that your channel has grown so much and you guys have matured as the show so much.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Traveling a lot. I went to Egypt twice in the last five months and went to Mexico and Guatemala in between there. And yeah, just traveling and figuring out a lot of the direction that I'm taking going forward. Yeah. I feel like my perspective of the world has just changed so much since I started traveling a lot about three years ago.
I know we were talking last night and I was saying like, man, I've traveled so much, I'm ready to actually just to stay home for a little bit. But I've been gone for at least 10 days a month for the last three years, traveling everywhere. It's a lot. Yeah, yeah, it's been a lot.
But I think that it's kind of laid this foundation of having a perspective of the ancient world and also knowing what traveling is like and traveling on my own. Like I spent a considerable amount of time in Egypt by myself and getting around Cairo on my own, getting from Cairo to Alexandria by myself.
I think I learned a lot about the world, about the ancient world, but also like contemporary people, you know, people in Egypt, in the Western world, we have this idea that like, oh, well, you know, is it safe over there?
You know, these are just normal people trying to get through life and enjoy their life and not get caught up in anything that complicates them enjoying their life in the same way that we do, right? And I've just learned so much about, you know, having a greater perspective and a more realistic perspective of the world.
And also, I think somewhere along the way, I started having an appreciation for, like, the origins of Western society and, you know, where these things have come from. And as we'll talk about later, some of this began with me studying the vases and how ancient cultures interacted with the vases and how...
