Dr. Narco Longo | Old World Florida: Lost History, Mystery, Elephants, & Oranges

00:01 ♪ Sparping masters almost surely have a plan ♪ There's clearly maybe something there beyond the realm of man. And until you've really tested every last close chest of you, I find the more you think you know, the less you really do. Would we be without TXC? As we know they're lying to us just an O2L degree. Would we be without TXC? The higher side chats show great common Happy days are here again doing the thing from the Sunshine State. I'm Greg Carlwood and when Americans tend to think about ancient civilizations, megalithic sites mystical places and even legends like Atlantis we tend to think that all the exciting stuff is out there somewhere

00:53 We dream about taking trips to places like the Giza Plateau, Machu Picchu Stonehenge Angerwatt The Ziggurat of Ur Carthage Baalbek or even the Great Wall of China and a dozen other interesting places scattered across this island earth. Not realizing that we are missing so much right in our own backyard. Ignorant of the echoes of civilization hidden between the highways, under the malls and featured as hazards on prestigious golf courses Well, we've talked to guests who have taught us much about the hidden history and mystical aspects of places like Philadelphia The Susquehanna River area Phoenix Arizona Detroit Michigan and more

01:31 Not to mention explorations of the mounds as well as giants and giant skeletons that early settlers encountered and unearthed. But today we're taking a deep dive into my new home, the sunny state of Florida. Despite the lackluster PR campaign, Florida actually has some of the most unique geography and strangest sites in the country with a massive 100,000 square mile aquifer that supplies some of the freshest water known to man through over 1,000 springs all throughout the state and beyond as well as beaches of quartz crystal sand, strange energetic anomalies spawning from a corner of the Bermuda Triangle, coral castles, suppressed pyramids, the Saxer stones and ancient underground city beneath Tampa. Man-made structures deep underwater, a rich history of those giant people and what used to be giant trees rivaling the biggest redwoods in the Pacific Northwest before they were all harvested

02:25 And folks, these are just a few of the exciting things I've learned from keeping an eye on the work of today's guest Dr. Narco Longo through the fascinating videos and documentaries you can find on his YouTube channel Old World Florida So many mysteries so little time! So let's do the damn thing The old world Florida man America's dick detective and the sunshine state strange stuff sleuth superior Dr. Longo welcome to The Higher Side Oh man that was quite the uh quite the crescendo. Thanks for having me on Greg! Yeah man, yes really looking forward to doing this I have really liked doing shows with guests who have a deep handle on the mysteries of their own area and Florida seems like one of the most exciting places to cover i learned about your work after an episode i did with Analog

03:15 And now it just so happens to line up as the first show I'm doing from my new Florida home. So the timing is just right, but you cover so much material on your channel it's hard to know exactly where to start if we wanted to give the audience an overview of your work and the overall thesis how would you break them in? Well, To anyone who's interested In ancient American history I would have to remind them that American history, at least through the lens of the United States undoubtedly begins with Florida. That seems to be neglected at every junction whether it's the Tartaria stuff, The Old World, the mud flood, whatever angle people are approaching this stuff somehow Florida always seems to slip through the cracks and gets the short end of the stick because it doesn't have some of

04:14 maybe architecture and city centers that you'd find in other places, but I would assure the listeners that history is there. And especially in cities such as St Augustine where nicknamed ancient city where the United States has its genesis at least in the official mainstream narrative So right off the bat you have America, and I'm actually reading a book right now in which the entire United States—and this was written in the 1500s—the entire United States is referred to as Florida because at that time there was no distinction between the peninsula of Florida and the United States. Hmm! So at the beginning of the United States it was referred to as Florida by the Spanish

05:08 If you've seen my channel a little bit, or if you just walk down the streets of some of these cities, you see Moorish architecture. Now that's one clue but to zoom out a little bit what else the channel might be about someone who has never seen it before right there you have The Starting Place Of America. If you want to look at it geologically as you indicated you have The Aquifer now this isn't just an aquifer that the people of Florida enjoy This aquifer bleeds out into the Gulf of Mexico and is likely the source of the gulf stream itself. 72 degree water oozing out into essentially a shallow toilet bowl which is every so often or continuously flushed into the Atlantic Ocean, this the gulf stream is the mother of all oceans on this planet undeniably so

06:07 and anyone who's into old world chronology, many of them seem to neglect the fact that regardless of your position there was a freezing period in the northern hemisphere. This is evident by the fact that the limestone is absent from much of the northern hemisphere because it was shaved away by either rocks being pushed by glaciers or the glaciers themselves were shaved clean of the limestone now Florida however One of the reasons that we know Florida has fared so well throughout time geologically, you know seismically however you want to look at it. Noah 8 000 years back in human history there's zero evidence of volcanic seismic tsunami any of this stuff on the Florida peninsula now that's because and sorry well this is where we start getting into The Garden Of Eden theories because it is a land

07:11 fertility and hospitality. And you kind of indicated before it gets a bad rap, there's kind of a propaganda war against Florida. It's only the old people who are the old and rich who are permitted to come down and enjoy it. I had the privilege of being born here. And I've chosen to stay here but uh yeah...I think I've said enough Yeah, that's a great intro. And you mentioned that some of the ruins and sites might not be as visible there as in other places but in one of your videos you talk about Florida having like six or eight great fires and obviously numerous hurricanes so maybe that's where some of it went Of course there are still remnants which we will be talking about But for people who think Florida is just a hot muggy mosquito-and-gator infested swampland

08:06 You mentioned some of the things they are missing that make it quite unique, but there are even more like quartz sand beaches which are quite unique and the aquifer is unique in its size and freshness. But also the springs that its supplies talk to us about some of the other things geographically geologically that make Florida so unique like those sand beaches and some of the Springs that people could visit That's a great direction to take it, Greg. And you touched on initially how people think it's hot and muggy humid too many bugs however we have an article from the Civil War pre-Civil War even might have been 1840s or 30s but definitely pre-civil war during civil war that they were expeditioning taking expeditions into Florida to survey land this and that

09:07 pretty much walking through the highlands or what essentially is the Highlands in Florida, the land that would be consistently out of the water. And they took that down as far south as they could and they noted that as close as they got to the Everglades which is consistently moving there was less and less mosquitoes and the mosquitoes were thickest at the coast but initially as Florida flowed, Flo-Rida. As it flowed initially because it is a continuously flowing river right Rio Ri-da Ida Eden all this and that we can get into all those but It is a flowing river and this is the River of Grass A one-of-a-kind ecosystem on the planet

09:54 Nothing replicates it, not even coming close. It still perplexes science Why? Because it's essentially a slow drain that the springs continually ooze forth Nowhere on this planet do you see a larger pump higher magnitude issuing forth of spring water than you do in the Florida Peninsula Upper Florida Peninsula especially Hmm now to no coincidence that these areas were claimed to be the Garden of Eden and widely by many people, but one especially who we're going to get into. E.E. Calloway kind of got the most fame out of it. He was our 1936 Republican candidate for governor and he did not even touch on the springs. He did not even touch on the sacks or stones some of this stuff We're gonna talk about later on but The Springs are proof of something alone and I think that something is Eden However there's nothing like it on the planet

10:56 the inlands of Florida, most people are shown the Everglades a little bit of beach maybe a little bit of natural coastline but rarely you know mangroves and stuff. And the mangroves and the natural coastline had a reputation for being mucky and rightfully so why because they protected on the east coast especially where the mangroves were thickest these protected the coastline and the barrier islands. So these were protection now we've since hacked them all down and replaced them with artificial beaches on the east coast so this is why we're gonna you know, relaying this distinction early on East Coast Florida has been highly developed largely Southeast Florida especially and that's where most people go their vacation it gets a bad reputation that's where all the old people retire to most of them not all of them but

11:51 Almost everyone has a grandparent in Southeast Florida. That's like a Jerry Seinfeld joke or something, but that's another thing all the elderly moving down here all the sick moving down here and I always like to start with the name you know cover as much of the name As we can Florida You know so many people will talk about something never Never even analyze the name, you know go on and on into the intricacies But they just gloss over the name. I really like to dig into the names of things Florida. Florid, florid actually means as many good words as there are in Florida and there's many The word florid indicates sickness right? You know this word? Florid to be sick you know ill a chest cough florid could mean a lot of things but it generally could mean anyone with a sickness so this Indicates another reason why people were coming to Florida to be cured of sickness

12:56 Ah means to in Spanish, but it could also mean land of the sick or you know land for the sick. But florid? You know how many billionaires and presidents went to Florida when they were near death? You know we're all out of options that had gone through all the options, all the possibilities, the diagnosis only to move down to Florida to be cured such as Ed Leedskow himself being among these people. He wasn't a billionaire, but he touched down in Florida after being diagnosed with certain illness. So Florida has always had a reputation as a land of healing supreme health. Well you're hitting on a lot of stuff that is interesting to me so you mentioned the

13:48 Garden of Eden hypothesis. You have a great documentary on Florida as the original Fertile Crescent, and it sounds a bit weird at first but as you say the place we know as The Fertile Crescent traditionally is not fertile nor crescent-shaped and you go really deep into the architecture And the names of places in Florida that speak to the Moorish slash Islamic influence Well, elaborating on those names a bit give us some of the best examples of this influence hiding in plain sight because the overall thesis is that there was a rich history of cross Atlantic travel and trade and just multiple cultures coming here before Columbus. But

14:33 All that has to be wiped away for the Columbus story to be the main story in our history books. And there's reasons why they wanted to discover it and say they were the first Christians there so they could claim the land, yada-yada—there were people here already as we know—but talk to us about this Garden of Eden hypothesis and some of the names of the locations around Florida that let us know that, hey these are weird names for a place that was discovered by the Spanish and named by the Spanish. A lot of these seem to predate Columbus. Right well that's a good setup let's bring it back to St Augustine right because that's the first permanent European settlement in North America or United States you had

15:21 St. Augustine, Florida. Pensacola failed New Smyrna that's a you know I talked about New Smyrna a little bit too because that's an ancient Greek city, Smyrna but we can talk about that a little later on but Saint Augustine let's not get too far away from the mainstream history book let's pick it apart first The mainstream tells us the United States starts in Saint Augustine ancient city It's nicknamed Ancient City for those who don't know. It's in northeast Florida, near Jacksonville north of Palm Beach north of Orlando east of Orlando along the coast and this is approximately where the ships would take their right hand turn to go back to Spain with the gold that they'd loaded up on in Peru and places like that Mexico so Saint Augustine was important to them and there's a star fort there

16:19 a magnificent star for it, Castillo de San Marco. But let's talk about ancient city why is it nicknamed ancient city? Well St Augustine! Why did they name the city Saint Augustine and why is the city completely filled with Moorish architecture because Saint Augustine himself was a Moor or North African descended from North Africa So it's no coincidence they would name a place that is potentially, as I've put forth in some of my channel was either visited by or previously inhabited by Moorish people. Or if you want to break it down to broader, Melanated People Islamic Practicing People There are many angles to look at and not all agree with each other so we're not speaking for any of them but St Augustine That's who he was That's why they named him

17:17 that's why they call it ancient city. Ancient typically means a thousand years old or more, now some people say oh it means 500 years that's kind of a loose usage of the word ancient but that's about when Saint Augustine was formed 1560s so right off the bat have you ever been to Saint Augustine and I've toured it in one of my videos going to be touring it again a couple times? It's covered in stone architecture stone, solid stone cast concrete. Some of the first poured concrete buildings in the world and some of the first buildings to have electricity from the get-go uncoincidentally these were constructed allegedly by Henry Flagler who was the partner friend and co-founder of Standard Oil with John D Rockefeller so that's who allegedly

18:20 touched up St. Augustine in the late 1800s, but 300 years earlier you had the Spanish landing here now not too long after and potentially before you had French Huguenots on the west coast of Florida northwest Panhandle now I spoke to a man in Miami who has evidence reason to believe that they were in Miami So, there's many things that were not taught about or simply not highlighted when other aspects are highlighted. And we get a very Spanish narrative of course Spain emerged victorious in the land of Florida so we get a Spanish narrative but to the names like you said if we look at some of the other names that St Augustine so it's a Moorish person let's just go down the coast

19:11 From there you have an ensemble of Greek names, so many Greek names which you would expect because in the 1700s Florida and this is not talked about widely by the mainstream. Florida was quite literally populated by thousands of Greeks 1500 right off the bat Greek Menorcan's who are off the coast of Spain but are culturally Greek more or less Turks and Ottoman subjects, people who were under Ottoman rule and decided to move to Florida. And this was a Scottish colony being directed by Scottish men but being populated they were employing

19:56 Menorcans and Greeks from the Mediterranean. Yes, holy shit! Yeah right? This truck just fucked some shit up outside the store god damn typical Florida chaos huh yeah big tall truck coming through like our downtown just took off a piece of like the oak tree oh jeez so that is a good preview of some of the cultures that were in the area before Columbus, you know just before the story starts. And there are other names like The Islands Of Turks and Caicos. Yes! There's a Turkey Key Island. Yes sir. Turkey key right next to Mormon key right next to Mosquito Key What does mosquito mean? Because you have Muscovy in Russia. Muskagee in Florida

20:44 Mosquito is little mosque. It's a little mosque, it's like a derogatory name. Like oh that blood sucker! Oh that Muslim sucking my blood you know? Mosquito seriously it's a derogatory... Sometimes Spanish people still have a lot of racist Hispanic people still have and I'm not taking any digs here. It's just a cultural thing they have a lot of racist nicknames for animals that you wouldn't believe are really common in South America There's also this I wanted to throw out, which is this flag that you show for the Muscogee Creek Nation. It is the Star and Crescent! It looks just like a Muslim flag and it's like how did THIS flag become

21:31 the Muscogee Creek Nation flag if there wasn't that influence. There's also a crescent city, and I guess the premise is that maybe the symbol came from the crescent of the gulf there? And like maybe the star was a sunken city or Atlantis we could say? Yes sir you have Crescent City New Orleans which would be the nose of the crescent moon okay The Gulf of Mexico is a perfect crescent moon tip to tip, the Florida Peninsula to the Yucatan Peninsula and the nose of this moon is New Orleans where the Mississippi River issues forth. And the Mississippi uncoincidentally is nicknamed either The Mother Of All Waters or The Father Of All Waters in as I said the Gulf Stream which is probably a combination of water from

22:29 freshwater from the Florida aquifer and then the water being expelled by the Mississippi River those to feed all the oceans of this planet. Certainly those in the northern hemisphere, northeastern hemisphere. But the Gulf of Mexico is the warmest body of water on the planet per size and volume of water So, this is a clear indication of fertility life-giving properties. What are the two precursors to life? Heat and humidity. Okay. These are the amniotic conditions from which most life issues forth so you have Florida

23:25 And the, you know it's not I always exalt Florida rightfully so but the Yucatan Peninsula shares in much of these qualities and some of its own which are unique to it especially with the ores that come out of that area. Hmm. A little bit outside there but yeah is richer and other things but Florida takes the cake because we'll get into some of the philosophy behind architecture why the lack large stone complexes could possibly be an indication of advancement among people. I like it, i like it so I can't believe we're already a fourth of the way through this thing but

24:09 Just to give a little more context, the official history of Florida is that the Spanish conquered it from the natives in 1513. Then the British Empire got it from the Spanish and immediately enslaved the melanated people who took refuge there and had 150 years of symbiosis where everyone was getting along. And then in 1784, it was given back to the Spanish basically for free And then we had the Barbary Wars. This is where it gets weird because you don't hear about this much, but even just the conventional Wikipedia says the Barbary Wars were a series of two wars fought by the United States, Sweden and the Kingdom of Sicily against the Barbary states of North Africa in the early 19th century. The war brought an end to the American practice of paying tribute to the pirate states

24:58 and helped mark the beginning of the end of piracy in that region. So even officially, I don't think many people know that the US had a war with pirates from North Africa in the 1800s but this is where it gets even crazier because another aspect of the Moorish history on top of the architecture is elephants in Florida. You show a ton of old black and white photos of upper class European folks riding elephants, using them as golf caddies. Using them to plow fields and even elephants on water skis being pulled behind boats it's so weird but you think the Moors brought the elephants because they're more native to those regions and then the elite class Europeans moved into all the luxurious moorish buildings and the Freemasonic Ringling Brothers took the elephants for the circus and helped obscure the history is that right?

25:55 That's a great overview. Yeah, I drift away off topic but that was a great setup The best way i could sum it up is Venice there is a peculiar fetish obsession with venice in florida There are multiple venices in Florida Multiple cities that were called the venice of america the venice of the south the venice of this and that And Tarpon Springs being one of them, by the way. Then you have Venice Florida Naples Florida all these different places Floraida could very well be named for the same goddess Ida as Italy Ita Italy right or Florida flora flora the Roman goddess of springtime flowers Easter and

26:49 light, of course. Fluorescent so the word fleur-de-lis is kind of redundant because it's light and light, light of light flower and light go back to that same word fluorescent florida So this goddess Floris, Florida Ida many Venices so this Greco Roman connection There's also St. Petersburg, which goes back to Russia. Now you touched on the elephants and I won't drift too far away from that but the elephants to me were used by the Phoenicians we know. The Phoenicians are famous for transporting elephants across the sea so they brought them to places they weren't allegedly native to

27:38 Now, the animal that we're kind of exposed to most in mainstream propaganda is the mammoth. And this old like hairy brutish mammoth when in actuality the American mammoths and mastodons were very similar to modern elephants and unless you're a expert on prehistoric skeletons if you saw one with skin we may not even be able to distinguish. You may even just think it's kind of a continental variation, like Asiatic elephant, you know African elephant and then oh American elephant well today they classify that as mastodon mammoth and it's no coincidence Florida in addition to the pictures you're talking about Florida is also the world's greatest source of completely intact 100%

28:35 preserved elephant bones or prehistoric elephant bones, mammoth and mastodon. So some of these there's actually evidence that the mammoth and mastodon lasted in the Americas longest in Florida of any place in the Americas. That's pretty well substantiated because of how many are preserved there and how long into human quote-unquote evolution this is them talking not me that the elephant coexisted with man as evidenced by carvings, arrowheads stuck in their bones stuff like that. And so yeah, Florida is a goldmine of elephants and that makes sense because with the pictures there's a bit of a narrative to be drawn there and I try not to fill in too many of the gaps myself you know? I haven't sunk my teeth into the elephant thing too much but it's really odd because I think the biggest flock of elephants group of elephants in The Americas today still

29:39 and probably ever since the 1920s has been on the west coast of Florida, central Florida. Even today there's an elephant sanctuary that's most of the discarded or rescued whichever way you look at it circus elephants. And I cover the Ringling family a bit in my videos and i'm going to cover them some more. I've been to the Ringling mansion which is oddly...and these are the elephant trainers, the masters of the elephant people who introduced the elephant Into the circus and made it synonymous with the circus. The Ringlings have a mansion in Sarasota, Florida Sarasota the name is They don't know where that word comes from Sarasota hmm But nonetheless The ringlings who were German and have German ancestry and were Freemasons by the way That's not a suspicion It's there were proud Freemasons all the Ringling brothers John Ringling built

30:43 allegedly built a Venetian mansion on the west coast of Florida, Sarasota or just outside of Sarasota maybe because it's on the beach. But that's The Ringling Mansion and today The Ringling Museum is there and back then the largest flock of elephants herd of elephants was staying there And they would winter at Florida. That was their home base, west coast of Florida and it still is because the descendants of these elephants are still in a large herd in Florida. So interesting! The images are just really off-putting to look at especially using an elephant as a golf caddy but

31:32 Man, on top of that another thing that people should see the images of are the giant trees. You unearth this older footage of black and white photos of early settlers cutting down massive trees as big as any redwoods I've seen in the Pacific Northwest apparently monarch cypress trees that were so big there are images of actual scaffolding attached to the side so that multiple people could work on the tree on downing it In this video, the narrator even says it was not uncommon for them to down trees that were 3,000 years old. And it's really sad but it's just another unknown aspect of pre-colonial Florida and

32:16 Even still, you mentioned the longevity aspects. The people coming down to Florida even now it's a tradition as you say for the older people to retire in Florida and then start their best life now that they've worked away their prime years but this gets into just the lush biodiversity, the fertile soil, the giant trees, the oranges and this fertile crescent idea When it comes to the oranges, you consider it a pretty magical fruit. Maybe even biblical! You play testimony from people who lived on only oranges for six months in one case and 1008 days in another and they were never healthier. They looked decades younger. And then we also have the story of Charlie Smith. He was a guy

33:05 who apparently died at 137 years old. He was a black dude who was brought over as a slave, and it was fascinating to hear him actually say in his own voice in audio recordings what that was like he was actually told that there was a fritter tree on the boat, meaning like a pancake tree. They had never seen this kind of food before so the white man's like oh there's a fritter tree we got it right down here in the boat and he got on the boat and the boat took off and he never got back it's really a sad story he asked his mom if he could go see

33:43 these strange white men in their boats, and then he never got back to his mom and was brought over. But he worked his whole life, and he was an orange picker! And he was doing that after he was already 100 years old. So the insinuation here along with these other stories of people having the orange-only diet is that being outside in the Florida sun and eating a lot of oranges... These are the keys to longevity apparently I'm learning Yeah, this is the general consensus among the rich. It's only the poor who are seemingly oblivious to it Rockefeller knew this Edison knew this led Ed Leeds Kounen who was not rich but I'll count him among these quote-unquote great people or notable people knowledgeable People at least we can clump them together as that that he moved down to Florida to reap its benefits Who else do we have on that list?

34:43 Flagler, of course partner of Rockefeller. Henry Plant competitor but at the same time friend of Henry Flagler another railroad tycoon and he was a steam guy actually steam energy big on steam and his whole thing was rail to boat to airship And that's another thing Florida is unique for us Opa-locka, Florida was America's number one Skyport for airships zeppelins dirigible the graft Zeppelin would consistently land at Opalock of Florida Amelia Earhart left for her trip from Opalock of Florida and Opalock of Florida is actually also a Greek word by the way. Oppa, you know You ever been to a Greek restaurant?

35:39 But all the Greek and Creek names we kind of glossed over earlier, there's all these Creek names. But Opalock Florida being America's number one skyport and the Graf Zeppelin would consistently land there no coincidence that the Seminole tribe who had claim over that area their flag is the same flag as Germany, the modern German flag so there is an interesting connection to Miami flags the same flag as India And if you know anything about Maya, what the word Maya means in Indian or Hindu Sanskrit Vedic mythology. Well, Maya means a heck of a lot but there's all these other connections the trees You know the one picture you saw that people standing on the scaffolding on the scaffolding Yeah Thank you That tree was likely 7 000 years old because some of the cypress trees that are not even that

36:38 notable for their size are about 2,000 years old. And there's one standing today that's very big but they say is only 2000. That one is probably larger than that. The Senator they placed at 3500. The tree that we see the men standing on the scaffolding, that's at least twice as big as the senator. Senators are the ones who got burnt down by Methhead in 2012. Typical Florida headline? Yes, so one other point I wanted to make about the oranges is really interesting from one of your videos because it parallels things we see going on today with government officials coming through to check your chickens because the bird flu's out there So if you get one positive test they're gonna just kill your whole flock Oh yeah Well there was something called the canker scare

37:31 In the years 1995, I guess and 2005 also there was another round of it. But the government forcibly removed infectious quote unquote Florida orange trees from people's private property and the insinuation is that well The big machine does not want us to have access to anything that is good for us, especially not that we can produce ourselves that we don't rely on the system for. And they would do this kind of thing at the behest of the corporate orange companies and this is just such an interesting little thing I don't know if there's even much to add other than those cliff notes but it mirrors a lot of other things that happen

38:17 I can tell you that they've done studies. They were very particular on this in the 1920s, there was a lot of interest independent research into health longevity. I talk a lot about a gentleman named Hilton Hotema or that's his pen name. I think his name was George Clement he was an author, a mystic writer. I think he had a bit of a religious training too, but he was a soldier in the Philippines and he had studied and researched been to many parts of the planet. Studied longevity and him among other people they had studied the properties of the orange in Florida versus the orange In other places of the world especially California where they really try and convince us that sadly America gets most of its produce from California or it's still state where we get the largest contribution

39:14 Florida being close second in many, many categories. But the price that California pays for their produce is very, very large, you know detrimental. You have the amount of water they have to pump well back to the research they've done on California oranges lack in virtually all the nutrients that you find in Florida oranges. And this is kind of perplexing because, and anyone who's tasted California oranges knows they're not quite as good but their bread and they tamper with their oranges much more heavily over there to get them to grow under unfavorable conditions and to produce a

40:03 cosmetic skin that's often painted. And Florida paints oranges too, so Florida is not doing everything great you know the orange juice monopolies have their home bases in Florida too but the studies indicate 100 years ago 70 years ago 50 years ago up until the research kind of... stops altogether and it's kind of seen as fruit is just a extra food rather than a source of sustenance or medicine, but what you really get is the Florida oranges have considerable amounts of strange elements they were finding things like radium. Yes! And the citrus

40:53 Something unique about citrus anyone can experience this themselves if you've ever washed with like turmeric, you know You get this glowing lime green tinge that's left over on everything cooked with or if you touch your shirt. You'll see lime green Right, huh orange? What's the lime green one talking to my girlfriend she made a face at me They always do you know you cook with Turmeric and there's like a highlighter color leftover and basically Anyone who's squeezed lime or lemon juice themselves filled up a thing of fresh-squeezed lemonade and you've seen it glisten in the sun, it is radiant. It's one of the few foods—one of the few things that radiates light. It's very strange! Now this goes back to the word florida. Florida meaning fluorescent or light. The fleur de lis

41:53 was actually carved in stone in Florida when some of the Europeans first came here. The fleur-de-lis, they actually believed that a quote unquote Greek people had left them in Florida so shout out Ben from Waking Up with Analog, the archivist he sent me that article awhile back but back to the citrus... Citrus oranges almost in every culture and almost every language except a few mean golden apple the one from mythology And the classical depictions of all these mythical paradises always showed citrus, oranges typically because those are the golden apples. And astrologically apples are not ruled by the sun. Citrus is however. Oranges especially ruled by the sun alchemically astrologically however you want to look at it

42:50 Very interesting. The orange rabbit hole goes deep! So there's also a video you've done about pyramids in Florida for people who don't know, Florida is ridiculously flat but as you point out the state seal of Florida originally had big pyramids in the background, then it was revised to look more like mountains when there are no mountains in Florida either. And then eventually it was obscured altogether and later versions of the seal where are some of these most impressive pyramids? What do we know about them I'm sure not very much so one that people can really get a good idea

43:30 The Letchworth Love Mound still stands today. It's covered in earth, but that is a pyramidal four-sided step pyramid style pyramid that's in northern Florida. You have other places like Big Mound City Fort Center couple different large large sites but there's little mounds sprinkled throughout Florida There's one down the street from me in a park and then you have the mound builders you know the mound builders themselves were building pyramids all over the place. They were just largely earthen, or at least we think they're all earthen because we're not allowed to dig on them whereas the great pyramids of Mexico okay? The largest pyramids in Mexico look just like a hill it looks like a bushy hill when they were first discovered...not discovered but first kind of

44:32 being excavated in the late 1900s, early-early 1900s. Late 1800's, early-early 1900s you had just a hill then they swept it off and voila! You have a beautiful pyramid anyone who has seen on kind of a history channel or discovery channel offshoot side channel they had an expedition of these two dudes it was very dramatized but it was legit they went to a researcher in Florida named Gary Daniels. And Gary Daniels has studied the Maya in, I think he says three different continents so I'm not sure what the third is but that's North America and South America and the Maya which is probably where Miami takes its name then you have Myakka in Florida, the Miama

45:30 lots of different Maya. And then you have Miami, Ohio. Well why is that significant? Because Henry Flagler was from Ohio and Miami initially was going to be named Flagler City and he said no no no name it Miami Maya and me and he was from Ohio like I said just like Rockefeller was so a couple different connections there but I love it. And before we're done with the first hour here, you mentioned Big Ed and Coral Castle and i'm sure a lot of listeners will know a little bit about Coral Castle but this guy came and moved these multi-ton coral blocks and shapes and stacked them like

46:17 a traditional megalithic site in Florida. And he wasn't from here, he was from Lithuania I believe? I believe he was Latvian. Latvian yes probably Latvian and this is a mysterious site but he says that he moved these stones on his own using the secrets of frequency levitation. He would do it at night i'm sure people have heard deep dives on this story but I've seen pictures of the site. It looks amazing, it's one of the first places i want to go but what are your thoughts on Big Ed and Coral Castle and maybe the properties of the area that allow it to have been made? Well I've been there myself a couple years ago going to head back that's not super easy to get in there I think it's like 40 bucks and they're closed two days a week but I've been there it's magnificent

47:16 I've sat on the chairs. The chairs are comfortable, as they say. The rock for those who don't know...the door swings open big heavy you know i don't know what it is five ton ten ton door swings easy and I'm an astrologer and I think what most people neglect on the Coral Castle is the fact that it's astrologically aligned telescope, or I forget the proper name for that. But polar scope...polar scope? I guess that's what we'll call it for right now a hole in a rock that is perfectly orientated to the North Star so this tells us the entire site is aligned astrologically there's many different write-ups you can do on this to show this graphs and charts and

48:16 overlays from aerial perspective that I'm going to be laying out in a video of my own. But what I can say offhand is that the man was from Eastern Europe, Northeastern Europe, Baltic region—I guess you could call it—and he was a short man very very short man and short people as well as giant people have a very important role to play in Florida's history Juan Ponce de Leon himself the attributed with discovering Florida, he was 4'11 himself. Now as I said i'm reading a book right now about Florida but I've said this in many of my videos but the book corroborates it even in the mainstream narrative. Florida is a land of giants truly giants not only that there were small people however and we see not only certain cultures

49:18 gravitating towards Florida, but certain shapes of humanity gravitating towards Florida as well. And the circus you know the circus deals with elephants do they not? Well what else do they deal with freaks midgets giants in that circus the largest circus in the world was centered in west coast of Florida and we also have to touch on the magnificence of the people that Florida's capable bringing about the NFL, the NBA and NCAA. Are you aware of where these organizations and colleges get the vast majority of their high performance athletes? The ones that always rise to the top. And this is consistent from the college level right up to the pro

50:12 I'm unaware, but iIm guessing Florida. Absolutely now to give Texas some credit because it's Texas and Florida interchangeably so some years some sports It'll be Florida producing the most athletes consistently and then you have Texas Now why is this? Because these two states have the largest amount of Mexican coastline The Gulf of Mexico the highest amount of coastlines along the Gulf of Mexico This yields a certain physical magnificence to the people. Not bestowed to everyone because diet still plays apart, genetics still play a part but if you're ripe for receiving this area better than any on this planet brings about an athletically superior people and I'm not saying that because I was born here. I did...I was okay at sports but I can prove it to you this way

51:10 a school that I played against myself to who would whip everyone, and it wasn't even close. IMG Academy is located in Bradenton Florida right next to Tampa Bay which is kind of the crux of a lot of my theories yeah and a lot of my content Tampa bay the capital seaport of Atlantis as we'll call it is where they chose to place this school that consistently produces, now this is high school we're talking about. Consistently produces the finest athletes on the planet bar none you cannot pick another school on another country that produces better athletes consistently in fact

51:57 New Zealanders and all these different, you know obscure sports players actually come to IMG to get better at their own sports in a land that doesn't even play them. So now of course a lot of this has to do with the staff and this and that but they are situated directly along this fertile crescent with the most life-giving properties, the water, the air Florida has the freshest supply of air in the world Not because of a particularly richness or mineral content or whatever, but it's highly humid. Very very humid which is why you see a substantial lack of respiratory illnesses in Florida consistently every year but the freshest air so it's very hard to pollute Florida because the water issues forth with such magnitude that

52:53 You couldn't taint one of these springs even if you tried. Knock on wood here, but the air supply is the same way because it's a peninsula that juts so far out into three separate bodies of water and the Gulf Stream tempers this area consistently. You have a flow of air, a flow right? That consistently brings fresh air from either side over this peninsula so no amount of toxic air can sit stagnant over Florida as it can in many, many places. Right? Right Yeah those are great points and a side thread to the Giants thing and getting into the Garden of Eden thing is that a lot of biblical characters had lifespans well over 100 years or even 200 now my

53:48 Attitude is like, well maybe in the dozen of translations that have been done something was wrong. But if we're going to take them at their word that they count the same way we count and they had multi hundred year lifespans And well, it seems to be another aspect of this place being the Fertile Crescent. This place being much more important to the biblical story. They just couldn't let North America be in the story they had to obscure everything because of course we know the rest but that's an interesting side note and of course Charlie Smith was said to be 137 years old and he didn't live in

54:29 most luxurious of conditions. He was a slave who picked oranges his whole life and obviously mobility, all that stuff like being active staying active. Yeah, that's gonna be useful for your health but the water the fruits the air seems like uh A place where those long lifespans are possible yeah he probably had at least three oranges a day and I know for certain I know for a fact he lived in an un-air conditioned shack, cottage. So Hilton Hotema attributes his long life to Florida's climate and him never living in an air conditioned unit. And he really exalts the climate

55:19 not only the fruit, which Charlie undoubtedly was eating. But if we look back even further than that, we have even more clear indications that if any land consistently produced well-aged people like those described in the Bible it is right here in the Gulf of Mexico especially the Florida Peninsula Now how do we know that? Temuqua! The Temuqua natives in the words of the French themselves not only were they a foot and a half taller than their largest man, that's the French saying this. Now I'm reading a book called La Inca de la Florida written in the 1500s late 1500s talking about the De Soto expedition so this is a Spanish point of view they said that the chief Tuscaloosa where we get Tuscaloosa you know Alabama right? That's Tuscaloosa I think so Tuscaloosa it's in the Gulf of Mexico for sure but Tuscaloosa

56:20 named for an ancient chief, a Creek Temuqua. Not necessarily Temuqua but a relative of the Temuqua definitely an ancestor of the creek this guy was as tall from the waist up as The tallest man on the Spanish expedition And that is a fact. That is verified by three separate sources or else it would not have made it into the book and this book was written by an Inca, not to Spanish man Well he's part Spanish but he was an Inca so that sounds like an independent reference you could say Yeah for sure But you have the French calling these people giants So that's the hype You were speaking on the age

57:11 We'll see these things go hand in hand as they did in the Bible. The Timuquia, as I said were about seven and a half feet tall on the low end These people lived to 300 years old The oldest among them claimed to be 350 And when the Spanish or sorry when the French saw him They said yeah he looks 350 and the ones that were 100 had as much youth as a 20 year old So, can you imagine this? And people say oh this is lunar years solar years. No no no they established early on the calendars between the two of these people The natives were speaking Castilian within a year of first Spanish coming to Florida all the natives on the Gulf of Mexico The eastern Gulf of Mexico west coast of Florida had learned Castilian Spanish

58:12 Okay, just from their short encounters. So these people were able to talk very easily not to mention there was captives on either side who had learned the languages of either and they were aiding all these expeditions now this is the mainstream narrative granted but these people were not misunderstanding each other is the point I'm trying to make right? Right you also note that These Spanish conquistadors said in their notes that yes, these natives do have feasts but Overall, they don't eat much and they equated that to their longevity. That the number one thing that shortens lives is gluttony is probably a 2000 calorie-a-day diet. We don't trust our system on anything related to diet. We don't trust the food pyramid. We don't trust the latest thing that came out that said canned peaches and Lucky Charms were more healthy than

59:11 natural foods, but we trust them when they say 2,000 calories a day. You hear it all the time you see it on every menu It's in our minds But maybe we should have 1,000 calories a day or less maybe that is killing us Oh absolutely now In defense of the mainstream in defense of all them people who eat as they feel however They choose to I will say not everyone has the privilege of living in Florida Now, when you live in Florida I think it is easiest. Now most people...you know, you'll find people on the planet who live like this with little food on a raw fruitarian diet gravitating towards Costa Rica, the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico and Florida. That's no coincidence! The freest people among America

1:00:08 tend to gravitate towards freest thinking, freest thinking politically. Culturally tend to gravitate towards Texas and Florida they have been the last five years overwhelmingly Hey I was drawn Yeah you among them glad to have you over here sharing the benefits but the air bestows such nutrition in itself that I think one can sustain themselves on a fruitarian diet in Florida. And as Hilton Hotema himself, breatharian diet. Now a lot of people roll their eyes at breatharian because when they think breatharian they think no food that's a fundamental misunderstanding. Breatharian actually means

1:00:59 Extracting nutrients from the breath or nutrition or energy prana sustenance, but quite literally nutrition There are minerals in the air. That's something a lot of people don't talk about either hmm humidity I mean you ever smoked pot Once or twice that's a vegetable and you eat with your lungs if that's not magic. I don't know what is amen? I like it And the only thing I wanted to try to fit in here before I cut you loose, I mean. I had a bunch of other questions. We were going to maybe talk about the Miami Circle and this and that but i want to ask you about golf courses because this is just a really creative thing and you have highlighted that many ancient sites and mounds

1:01:46 across Florida could be hidden as features on golf courses. Most people know about the Serpent Mound in Ohio, but probably miss the fact that it too is on a golf course. Florida has more golf courses than anywhere and you often need to be a member to access the most exclusive ones but help make the case for people what is it about the history of golf courses in Florida and the people who built them that gives us a hint at this side goal of obscuring and hiding the history with these courses? Well, I like to think of things as... You know, I hate this relativity style thinking. Like oh there's no such thing is good or bad but there is something to be demonstrated here you can pick up a hammer and kill someone with it in an innocent person

1:02:40 or you can take that hammer and build a house for the homeless, or whatever good deed you could conceive of. Now same way that Stalin drank water probably 10 times a day even are we going to demonize water? No now many other things you could look at the same way with the burial mounds there is power to be had from these mounds measurably whether it's electromagnetic phenomena associated with them, the ley lines associated with them. The potential weather protection brought about from them not only physically by being break winds along the coast initially with the tall trees that we talked about protecting from hurricanes but in Safety Harbor not far from you, Safety Harbor Florida there's a folklore about Indian protection that protects the area

1:03:41 Hurricanes. Yeah, bad weather I've heard that yeah now with many of these mounds there's a perceived energy Involved and I'll just to broadly state it as that in Energy so many people have different views on this Some say it's a haunting thing that it's 100% evil and bad and inherently to just be in those areas That's why I kind of demonstrated the Good or bad is not so black and white when you're speaking in terms of spirit, especially. But I'll demonstrate here how some person obsessed or controlled by a need for power could be infatuated with mounds like this and might even build their houses on top of them—in the case of John D Rockefeller built his

1:04:33 vacation home near Jekyll Island on a Temucula burial mound, a sacrificial stone actually. And you know you raise the question the mounds and the golf courses what's the connection? Is there connection well there is 100% a connection that doesn't even need to be verified because they'll even tell you in the names of some of these courses Indian Mound Golf Course in Ohio. Jekyll Island Indian mound golf course. There's also a golf course in Jekyll Island called Indian Mound Golf Course and Donald Trump, who I'm a big fan of not to step on anyone's toes but i'm not speaking poorly of him he buried his wife on the golf course so this is being practiced right up until today golf courses were burial grounds and in places like Florida especially where there's no elevation

1:05:37 the builders would gravitate towards the places that had Indian mounds because those were deemed not profitable from a real estate point of view. Everyone wanted flat real estate 100 years ago to build on without any difficulty, well they would gravitate towards the Indian mounds to build their golf courses on top of because they were naturally hilly and in the 1950's which is when most these courses were being built about 30 years earlier in the 20s or 1890s even, America was American Army Corps of Engineers and many private interests were going around raising these mounds to a nine feet lower 10 feet lower 20 feet lower. In some instances taking that earth that shell sometimes as hard as cement because it was shell which produces lime

1:06:37 right, which is what the active ingredient in cement concrete. You have this shell binding together and they would take this and build roads with it and some of the finest roads on the planet were in the northeast coast of Florida made from the shells of these Indian mounds and then they would produce a white sand once they'd get driven over a fair amount that produced this perfect white soft road that everyone would rave about. Well, then they ended up paving them all over and now we get this choppy brick if you're lucky the brick is beautiful but it's choppy or you get this asphalt that just needs to be replaced every two years it's worthless well you had hundreds of miles of shell road in pre-colonial Florida

1:07:30 But yeah, the mounds. So Rockefeller built his house on a mound northeast Florida Georgia border Jekyll Island which is where the Federal Reserve was conceived put into practice that's Jekyll Island then in Florida South Florida Naples you have the Gulf capital of the planet and this is in southwest coast of Florida You have capital of golf in the plan, golf capital of the world. The second golf capital of the world being St Andrews Scotland right? So Scotland well as I said earlier the Scottish actually colonized Florida in the 1700's with Greek servants, Greek workers indentured servants Well it is no coincidence that about a hundred years later when the Seminoles were fighting The Seminole had about half or quarter

1:08:35 Celtic Scottish ancestry. So these are another one of these coincidences that doesn't make much sense, the Scottish presence in Florida and a little riddle or limerick poem I guess not even...I like to say is the Gulf Wars were largely fought from the gulf courses of Florida both of the Gulf Wars, it's true. The Bush families were fighting those wars from the gulf courses of Florida. Golf War... if you want to talk about Finland, you have golf which is golfo in Spanish and zolfo means sulfur so sulfur and gulf go back to the same word and you know that decomposition produces sulfur very often. Sulfur

1:09:27 synonymous with decomposition a lot of the times or like rotten water, you know egg water sulfur smell associated with the dead and Saturn in the underworld demons. Well that's a gulf zolfo golf o sulfos zolfos sulfur golf oh is what they call it The Gulf well gulf to gulf The Gulf Stream goes from the Gulf of Mexico To the Gulf of Finland And the Gulf Stream actually keeps the British Isles, Scotland included right? Gulf to gulf or golf to gulf. Keeps the British Isles warm and if it didn't they'd largely be inhospitable today. Same goes for Iceland man But it could go gulf-to-gulf St Petersburg to st. Petersburg Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of Finland and that's your gulf. I like it! In the streamline so well one last thing

1:10:25 People who play golf often have private jets and the most famous private jet on the planet. Do you know the name of it? I don't. The Gulf Stream Jet Now this is indicative of the pathway that the ancient rich traders would take between the Americas to the Eurasian continent in Africa, they would take the Gulf Stream No coincidence the rich people of the planet today trace the continents in their Gulf Stream jets today. That's a GS, G5 you know g3 or whatever they call them Gulfstream Yeah fly like a g6 yes sir there you go Wow way to stick the landing I mean The rabbit hole goes deep You know a lot about a lot this has been awesome we covered a ton of great interesting stuff and i'm very impressed with the work you do

1:11:21 Let the people know how to follow up and watch some of this work, support the venture or engage with you. I know you do some call-in shows once in a while? Yeah. So Old World Florida on YouTube, old underscore world underscore Florida on Instagram. I've got Twitter too but my assistant runs those. It's not like it's me on there. A TikTok too, I think but I've never even touched that thing. I'm on there and then every Thursday, I'm doing a live call-in show at 9 p.m Eastern Standard Time if iIm not there on Thursday that's because I'm doing something interesting on an exploration or expedition but if not every Thursday live call ins all are welcome no charge no tip amount or anything anyone can call in

1:12:20 Cool, cool. Well I hope that some of these listeners pile in on the following Thursday from the time this airs but very awesome! I appreciate your time man hopefully i'll see you out there but take care and keep doing what you do Thank you man thanks for having me well you know i can't leave THC listeners hanging on 420 so here we are Fresh off an over 2,000 mile drive coast to coast from San Diego to my new home in Tampa Florida. And believe it or not I didn't really try that hard to arrange for this to be the first one from my new home but Analog had mentioned that i check out the Old World Florida channel and saw a lot that I liked and reached out to get on the books but the dates for moving were all over the map

1:13:11 It should have actually happened two weeks earlier than it did if we could've gotten a satisfactory water test. And Dr. Longo could have run the Old World Michigan channel for all I cared, you know? I like these explorations of different states or regions and working in this alternative history no matter what area it is! But the stars aligned and I was happy to walk the path. To me this is a fascinating avenue of inquiry whether I was going to live here or not But it did get me jazzed up about my new surroundings. I enjoy change like this and i haven't had it in 13 years It really gets all your synapses firing on all cylinders because you can't zone out when you're completely unfamiliar with your surroundings autopilot is off, I think the newness makes you more engaged with what you're doing and more tied to the moment. It feels great! I recommend it to everyone

1:14:07 But I thought Dr. Longo's material was great, vast and diverse He makes a good case for his reconstruction of so much And the importance of Florida in the human story It makes you think when you look at names of areas as clues and the crescent star on local tribes flag...I don't know what that is about Then there are videos we didn't even talk about where he traces marijuana and tobacco trade across the Atlantic So maybe America was a bigger part of the wider human story and maybe humans were more capable at a time that predates when the masters say we were. I know that some of these claims are pretty radical and bold, but why couldn't The Fertile Crescent be somewhere completely different than what we think it is? I find the more we think we know, the less we really do right?

1:18:39 Thanks for listening and for bearing with me through the transition. Dr Longo certainly got me psyched about this place I'm excited to be over the big hump of moving and a lot of people have asked me why Tampa specifically? And we made this move mainly to be closer to family because we have family on both Me and my wife's sides in this area and A second kid on the way kind of forced our hand where We needed to move, and it needed to be somewhere where we would have a little more help And that meant Missouri or Florida and from there it was a pretty easy choice. So, you know... There are just some people who take my opinion and my decisions with a lot of weight Let's just say that! To those people its like hey I made this decision mainly for personal reasons That are not going to be the same as your reasons There is really no secret sauce here

1:19:39 But it does check a lot of these strategic relocation boxes in my mind even though it gets a one star or maybe even zero star In the strategic relocation book but you can grow good stuff year-round, you avoid winters It's still not nearly as expensive as most other coastal places. It is an income tax free state and I like the COVID response I know DeSantis' free state of Florida slogan is just typical politi-speak, but hey not a lot of other states are even trying to use that kind of language to describe the culture that they're perpetuating. So whatever whatever i'm comfortable with it and I wish you the best of luck in finding a place that you're comfortable with if you aren't there already And lots of people from all over the state of Florida have reached out since I announced where I was going to be moving

1:20:35 They've offered me dinner at their restaurants, drinks at their bars or to give good options for local meat raw milk and organic produce. Heck I even got offered a media badge to the Miami Bitcoin Conference and i'm pretty sure im gonna go! I don't feel like I need to know much more about bitcoin but it could be fun experience and miami's not far anymore I covered a Science of Consciousness conference that happened in San Diego a few years ago and made some plus bonus content out of summarizing and reviewing all the presentations. I'll probably do something like that again for this, not quite sure yet but i guess what i'm saying is if cool offers and opportunities are any indication of a good choice then this has clearly been a good choice! But i am getting out of here

1:21:25 Prep time for the next interview in the a.m and then I can get back home for a few days This is commitment, right? But the show must go on thanks for listening check out The Old World Florida channel Dr Longo makes some high quality content. I thank him for his time take care out there i've done my part your move ancient america Obscurers human story hiders and old world florida secret keepers your fucking moves No, I refuse if it's all right. I'll keep my refuge I've been scheming a bigger things and have to leave my old life behind Got a transfer to the inner earth. I built a box build a hole gotta go in under And now you find me in the bunker Yeah

1:22:57 Plans are simple. The best protection of all is the special shelter built according to specifications of your local civil defense organization

1:23:42 The basement of any house or building will become a good improvised shelter if you block the windows with sandbags. If you don't have sandbags, just what can you do? Bunker! Take it under You'll find me in the bunker Bunker Bunker Bunker! Take it under In the bunker Bunker Village and plunder It's a plunder Plunder
