Chapter 1: What recent discoveries did Matt Lacroix make during his travels?
So you think they were humans, these ancient civilizations? You don't think they were aliens?
They were civilizations connected back to the very origins of who we once were. More of a sacred side of our history and what we used to be.
I would love that, to see more advanced beings before us. That's exciting, you know?
We seem to have a chapter where there were other types of even hominids on the Earth.
all right guys matt is back on set today it's been a while my friend yeah it's good to see you and talk to you again yeah welcome back you've traveled the world since we last spoke it's been exciting we've we've had some amazing adventures um turkey and peru uh and we're really we're exploring other areas too that we have upcoming trips to like minorca spain and bolivia and others and it's been it's been really amazing getting to places that i've researched for so much of my life decades
be able to get on the ground and finally see them in person and do a lot of analysis and bring experts in to look at them absolutely so turkey and peru are those signs of the oldest civilizations that we know well i mean there's other areas as well like obviously like parts of egypt and balbek lebanon and india and china but really the focus of these areas of turkey and not not the area that's been discussed a lot lately like for instance gobekli tepe and karahan tepe is getting is getting a lot of attention
I'm focused more on an area that's actually quite unknown still to the world, areas in eastern Turkey around Lake Van that are brand new sites. Some of the discoveries that we can talk about are as new as five years ago, a year ago, 2017. So just within the last few years are new archaeological discoveries that are going to shake up the entire establishment in the world.
Wow. So what came to light, I guess, over there five years ago?
Well, so back the first one, I guess, in 2017, that really opened a lot of this up was they discovered underwater ruins under Lake Vaughn that, by the way, it's the only megalithic underwater ruins in the world. Now, there are.

Chapter 2: What are the underwater ruins found under Lake Van?
And these ruins cover a kilometer in area, massive. And there's a flower of life carved into these giant basalt blocks that are from what we're exploring as being an ancient, ancient civilization that may – predate a lot of things that are established even for what academics are considering for the region. Wow, that is so fascinating.
So that must be hard to explore though, because you got to scuba dive, right? We're going to be, one of the focuses of the upcoming documentary that I'm leading with experts around the world is to dive down and analyze and explore those ruins because of also the connections that they may have with things that are nearby above water. Mm-hmm.
They have the same type of stone, the same geology, the same stonework, the same symbols of these what I believe are much, much older lost civilizations from an entire forgotten chapter of our history that has largely been forgotten and mixed in with more recent civilizations.
Civilizations that, you know, may give us in a completely different understanding of who we are and the connections we once had with this ancient world. Wow. You might have discovered Atlantis.
Well, it's got parallels to that because of, again, the connections around the world to, you know, is Atlantis just like this global civilization that is a name that's more about a connection around the world that something had? Because that's really what we're exploring is that Atlantis might not have been even just one location. It's more like an entire civilization that spanned around the world.
Wow. That could be an interesting idea, right? Yeah. Yeah, well, that's the idea is that you see similarities off of even places like the Yucatan of Mexico and some of the structures there with parallels across the world. So we're looking at basically in my perception and looking at the evidence is an entire chapter of human history that's been largely forgotten.
but was this not from the lens of a primitive culture, like a nomadic hunter-gatherer group that had flint and steel and just was traveling around hunting large game and moving on and having small settlements, but literally a chapter of human civilization where we built the most incredible stone temples and pyramids around the world, and that culture reached high levels.
Shout out to today's sponsor, Prolon. If starting the year with a fast feels a little daunting, you're not alone. There's an entire community of individuals wanting to make a meaningful decision in their health, just like you. This is what makes group fasting so powerful and why I'm joining in on Prolon's January Longevity Challenge, which is a coach-led program to set you up for fasting success.
Prolon's Fasting Mimicking Diet is a revolutionary plant-based nutrition program that nourishes the body while making cells believe they're fasting. I got all five boxes here, and I'm starting day one tomorrow. It's researched and developed for decades at USC's Longevity Institute and backed by leading U.S. medical centers.

Chapter 3: How do ancient civilizations relate to modern human history?
Yeah, and they actually were, they had to leave because they were basically scared away by this group that were somewhat violent in some means. But the whole concept that's fascinating is, is there an entire chapter of our story where there were humans that lived longer? were taller, had larger brains in some ways, larger heads. We're finding evidence of that all around the world.
And it seems that, and I believe that this idea of cranial and binding we see like in Africa and other places may have been just a means of mimicking someone that used to actually exist in a more, in a genetic way, not something where they altered their skull size. So that's the Anunnaki you're talking about, right? Yeah.
Well, it may have ties back to that is this whole idea that like we see with Diodorus and Solon, they discussed this whole idea of like, almost like a demi-god type of race that existed during Atlantis. And this time period where there were almost like half human, half gods that, you know, lived enormous amounts of time.
We see that like with Enoch, we see that with the whole Noah figure, you know, Isaiah Sudra, this concept of, human beings living for enormous amounts of time and having this whole chapter that we used to have that we don't understand anymore. That's become almost like a fairy tale and a mystery to us. You know, I'll give you an example, like places like
For instance, Troy is discussed in the Iliad and others, right, by Homer. It was this idea, this concept of civilizations and Greek myths and different cities that weren't real. And yet in the 1800s, they found Troy in Western Turkey. And that's the same thing we're seeing with places like Eridu and Sharupak in modern day Mesopotamia, places that were supposed to be a myth.
that were not supposed to be real end up being found. And then it makes us have to reevaluate our entire understanding of history.
Wow, that is nuts. Why do you think a lot of this history gets forgotten? Do you think there's some foul play there?
Well, there's a combination of a couple of things going on, I believe. Number one, we have to look at these time periods that have enormous amounts of time in between them. The civilizations that we're looking at and finding evidence around the world, working with experts, looking at different places where the civilizations may have disappeared 12,000 years ago.
Look at all human beings have done the last 500 to 600 years. We were basically thrown back into the Middle Ages that long ago. And yet we're talking about not even a thousand years. Now imagine civilizations that have been gone for 12,000 years. You know, what would be left from them?

Chapter 4: What secrets do secret societies hold about ancient bloodlines?
Things would just corrode and break away. I think what we need to do is wrap our heads around how much time like 2,000 or 3,000 years is. Now imagine 12,000 years since they existed. and what would actually be left to them. And to be honest, I mean, if we look around the world at what is left, it's rather impressive compared to what may be left from us.
That's why we have to look at this lens in a different way of saying, look at this entire lost civilization that has evidence all around the world, whether or not we go to like Tonga, the Mariana Islands with these huge pillars that the local indigenous groups have no idea who built them. They say Maui built them.
And is that evidence of like an ancient Lemurian Mu connection, just like we see with Atlantis? You know, the remnants of the echoes of a long civilization that's been gone for thousands and thousands of years. And even the indigenous people that live there say, we're not the ones who built them. There was someone here before us.
Someone who is highly sophisticated and spiritually inclined and more connected and built things in a way that we don't build things anymore. It's like a forgotten idea of who we once were.
Yeah. You think there's any lineage that survived from those ancient times or do you think completely wiped out everyone?
It's interesting when we look at secret societies around the world and throughout history. Secret societies that are sort of hiding in the shadows at times. And I think that those are potentially connected back, at least they believe they are, to certain bloodlines that go all the way back to these original groups and these people. Yeah. Now, does that mean some kind of like a superiority?
No, I don't think so at all. I just, I believe that they, they think that there are certain connections that still exist with those groups.
Yeah. You're talking like the Illuminati and stuff. Right. I never even wondered yet how old those go back, but that, that could be true for sure.
Well, there's old families like the Rothschilds and others that seemed in the Sinclairs and others that state or believe that they have connections back to a much more ancient lineage. I mean, we see other destructive figures throughout history and empires who have literally believed that enough to fight entire wars. Yeah. and conquer other nations.

Chapter 5: What is the significance of the Flower of Life symbol?
That's created the three pyramids to create it to be this, this mimicking of the relationship between our earth, sun, the moon, but also the constellation of the three bell stars of Orion.
And that gets into the hermetic laws, the constants that are basically ancient Egyptian and Greek knowledge of these laws that exist in the universe and on earth, that if you adhere to them, you can create some kind of a synergy.
Hmm.
Between like creating structures here on earth that almost bridge that heaven on earth connection, right? As above, so below. As within, so without. That's the ancient hermetic law of correspondence that these civilizations seem to adhere to with why they built in very specific places.
Yeah, because the architecture itself is impressive. But the fact that you mentioned all that too on top of it's like these guys were way more advanced than we can even fathom.
Yeah, they were building in a way that it's not random at all. They were going to very specific parts of the Earth. It's a term called geodesy.
It refers to building in very specific spots and aligning to cardinal points and magnetic points and ley lines in which you can create this synergy between the magnetic fields of the Earth and star constellations and our connection between the sun, Earth, and the moon, which seem to have a relationship with the whole. Mm-hmm. It's basically this idea that you can create a cosmic connection.
And when you do that, you can unlock these secret abilities of humans and abilities here that we have, almost like magic.
Right. So is this where you start to lose the traditional archaeologists? Is this where that divide starts?

Chapter 6: How does reincarnation play a role in ancient Egyptian beliefs?
energetic ley lines and magnetic fields and aspects of our sun earth moon and the constellations if you don't understand the metaphysical spiritual realms how are you going to understand why they built things they did the way they are how are you going to understand the energetic nature of why they did things right that's important but they're so logical that it has to be like a fact like evidence-based right
Well, it's just because I think that the academic world has too many divisions within it. Too many divisions between the metaphysical understanding of reality and the physical understanding of reality. We have to come at this through the lens of like an esoteric mind.
We have to combine philosophy, science, and the metaphysical side of nature to understand why these civilizations did what they did. And once we do that... I think the danger, Sean, and why these conversations haven't moved forward in the right way is that to this day, we're still taught in school that consciousness is simply derived from the brain.
And it's something where we get intelligent enough and consciousness develops through the brain and we die and that's it. Our existence... just disappears into nothing. But that doesn't seem to be the case at all.
In fact, the ancients around the world believe something very, very different and not like the primitive ancients, but for instance, like ancient Egyptians placed these subterranean places like the Osirion and the Serapium where they built these very mysterious giant granite boxes over a hundred tons with, there was no one was buried inside them. What was, what was their purpose?
Was this some kind of a chamber for like an incarnation chamber or some kind of rejuvenation chamber? You know, the ancient Egyptians believed that if somebody died, they could somehow bring them back through the reincarnation cycle to have them live again.
Mm-hmm.
It really, what it tells us, Sean, is that we are actually eternal beings that never truly die. We just go through cycles of living each life and then come back through karmic laws and learning new things to grow and ascend as a metaphysical, spiritual being that's having a physical experience here, not the other way around.
That is fascinating. So the Egyptians were trying to control the reincarnation cycle. Exactly. That's cool.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of the great cycles of history?
And that we, the earth has a synergy that it plays out through humanity on a great stage. Like Shakespeare said, right? All the world is a stage. We're all playing roles within that. Simulation theory, right? Yeah, that we're part of something far greater than most of us understand. And that we're on a great stage of experience.
And that what happens with that within humanity, through the archetypes of humanity, is basically being played out in the entire universe.
Yeah, that is nuts. Yeah, you've studied a lot of these ancient texts, right?
Yeah. Yeah, my favorite, again, all the different Hermetic texts I would highly encourage because it's based on ancient Egyptian and Greek knowledge. Again, like the Emerald Tablet, the Vision of Hermes, right? I highly recommend all the Hermetic texts that they've woven down through that, as well as things like the Book of Enoch, the Nag Hammadi scriptures, right?
The Book of John, the Secret Book of John. They all are these forbidden texts, right? Ancient Gnostic texts and ancient pre-Hebrew and Hebrew texts and all the way back to ancient Sumerian texts from the tablets that all discuss these esoteric and mysterious aspects of spirit and alchemy and how...
Really the path of of the human journey here the hero's journey is about the alchemical transformation of our physical experience here into a spiritual metaphysical experience and that it's an alchemical experience because we start as spirit and We come from spirit as a higher place and we go through a circle. Everything is all about circles, okay?
It's never time and the linear aspects that we're told are actually very false. Everything is more of a giant circle. There's no beginning and there's no end. Just like our experience here is about starting somewhere and then circling back to where we started. Just because it's an endless amount of loops and cycles that continues. And it seems to be based on,
these aspects of earth, the sun, the moon, going through cycles of influences of our galactic center, influences of the planets, maybe even influences in the outer solar system that relate to cycles of consciousness based on what's called the procession of the equinox or the great year. Are you familiar with that? No, I just thought. So the earth has a tilt or a wobble to it.
So when it spins on its axis, it actually has a tilt to it. And the tilt is based on what's called the precession of the equinox. What it means is as the earth rotates, it actually faces specific star constellations for intervals of 2,100 years. And the entire cycle that the earth rotates around facing different constellations is what's called the great year.

Chapter 8: What is the connection between ancient technology and modern understanding?
Like for instance, if you study these laws and these constants out of ancient Egypt and ancient Greece and these others, and you look at the symbols that are left there, you realize that they're all the same. Like there was a lost knowledge of understanding who we are in our greater capacity in the universe and how we can achieve unlocking our greatest aspect of ourselves.
And the teachings are laid down in these artifacts and temples left behind for a future time when humanity can finally understand it. Yeah. One of the wild things is, Sean, that we're finding evidence, like especially Ionis and Kefkalesi, that later civilizations deliberately buried them to try to conceal them and protect them because of the volatile world that they were living in.
So it seems like there was some sort of takeover, whether it was hostile or I don't know what happened.
Well, like giving an example is in these civilizations that I'm studying that the documentary is focused on, like, again, the underwater ruins I just talked about, showing the flower of life and everything, the very pivotal aspect of us understanding the balance of everything and the harmony that exists is that.
the cultures that came later seem to incorporate a lot of their knowledge into their cultures. The culture that archaeologists believe built all of these is called the Urartu or Urartians. The word Urartu just means Ararat, like Mount Ararat. Now, they incorporated a lot of knowledge into their culture.
However, the time that they lived around 3,800 years ago, 3,000 years ago, it was a volatile time on the earth. They were in constant war with Mesopotamian civilizations to the south, like the Babylonians and the Assyrians. And so you imagine you're in a warlike world where there's empires conquering each other. There is... Right. Right.
And so we're seeing evidence that that culture called the Urartians deliberately buried some of these sites in order to preserve and protect them so that someday in the future, cultures that came along that were of a higher consciousness in a more peaceful time could go find them again and return to the knowledge that we once had. And these regions are...
very important to ancient cultures around the world. Like, for instance, this area around Lake Vaughan was visited by Alexander the Great and Xerxes and the Knights Templar. The same cross that we see at Ionis is the exact same cross that became the benchmark of the cross for the Knights Templar, as well as the cross that we see in the Vatican today.
Holy crap.
