Sacha Stone

But when we finally got there, and I'd been invited in by the military general who'd overthrown the incumbency,

And I've been invited in to go and look at the pyramids and to spark up a planetary conversation about the Nubian pyramids.

The fact that there's over 200 of them for a start.

The fact that they are twice the size and the age of the ones in Egypt.

Why is no one talking about that in academia?

And it's fascinating.

And meeting some of the desert people there at the pyramids and talking to them

And they were saying, oh, yeah, no, we've got libraries and shit underground and artifacts and stuff there.

Same thing in Ethiopia.

They are holders of arcane wisdom.

And the Coptic bishops, I was with them 23, 24 years ago in the desert of Sketes in Wadi al-Nathrun with the Coptic bishops underground, living in a citadel underground.

I was taken in, special dispensation from the military in Egypt to get to them.

and had to have diplomatic passage.

And I spent time with the Coptic bishops.

These are the guys who threw up the Dead Sea Scrolls a few years back as a kind of little throw-the-dog-a-bone to the Western gestalt, you know.

But they've still got stuff under there they haven't even begun to release to the circles.

And they've been there an awful long time, the Coptics.

All I'm saying is, is that we're so...

clever in the West, so cultivated, so educated, and so dystopian and myopic.

We just don't know anything at all.
