Topic: Megalithomania

Hugh Newman returns to the program to discuss his new book, "Gobekli Tepe & Karahan Tepe: The World's First Megaliths." The discussion establishes the significance of the Tigris and Euphrates region as a hub for sophisticated ancient architecture, including megalithic complexes and underground cities. Newman's background with the Megalithomania Conference and his previous work on giants with Jim Vieira are highlighted.

Hugh Newman describes his background as the founder of Megalithomania and his fascination with megalithic sites and earth mysteries. Influenced by scholar John Michel, Newman explores the "enchantment of the landscape" through archaeoastronomy, ley lines, and dowsing. His research suggests that ancient giants were intrinsically linked to the geomantic properties of the British landscape.
