Jeb and Blake learn about armadas, plays, and rock diaries. Beach Action Nimoy Fashion Alert! The Money Shot... Blake thinks the ISO actor is giving off Keenan Wynn vibes.

So many faceless re-enactors in this one! Horror writer Jay Anson and his trusty typewriter! And this episode is quite notable for giving us a look at Father Mancuso from the book. Aka Father Ralph Pecoraro. Aka Father Delaney. Aka "Jimmy the Shadow" . The Lutz couple at the table. The two versions of Jodie the Pig: And we gotta include the super creepy ISO doll.

Additional background material on this episode is available for Patrons. Jeb and Blake wade into the first episode of season 4 of to learn a thing or two about tsunamis. (Yes, the producers actually said that they called it "tidal waves" because if they'd used "tsunami" Americans wouldn't have bothered to find out what it was about. I remember being taught the "new" term during my basic education. -B) Lots of good footage, interviews, reenactments, and science in this one! Nimoy Fashion - Henley Shirt (we he's wearing pants below the cut?) To me, it looked like an AARP-style drug ad. The J.K.K. Look Laboratory (in honor of Mr. James K. K. Look - who's death in pursuit of scientific data is honored in the naming) There is shockingly little about Mr. Look on the net and he certainly seems like he deserves at least a Wikipedia page. Hokusai https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hokusai's famous "wave" - and yes, he really did pioneer "tentacle porn," but I'm not linking to it - nor judging. This is only a simulation.

We're joined by Dr. Nathan French to discuss the Biblical tale of Sodom and Gomorrah and the ISO team's efforts to examine archaeological evidence supporting its actual historical existence. Nimoy Fashion: Dr. Avrahamm Biran https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avraham_Biran (1909 - 2008) The concept of Biblical Maximalism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_maximalism The big dig at Ebla https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebla where the library of clay tablets was found. In 1976 Giovanni Pettinato https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Pettinato claimed tablets found at the dig contained the names of five cities of the plain including Sodom and Gomorrah. Modern scholarly consensus is that this was INCORRECT. I this is archaeologist Paulo Matti (Pettinato's fellow researcher on the dig) alongside an unnamed female researcher. As promised, the animated gif of the sinners in our "re-creations" of ancient Sodom. Discussion of Baal in the episode doesn't hint that this Biblical "villain god" may actually represent an entire class of deities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baal About 17 mins into the episode there's a guy who runs a hot spring and his moustache reminded Jeb of a certain someone...

We are joined again by Alex French to discuss "Brain Power." No kids were harmed, but some hosts were shaken.

We're joined by Sharon Hill to look into the vital 1970s question: Was Noah's Ark Real? (And does it disprove Darwin's theory of evolution through natural selection?) SPOILERS: NO AND NO The episode opens with "footage" (re-creations, repurposed footage) of the famous 1889 Flood. The footage in the movie appears to be from a short film called (1977) but we couldn't find a version of that to share. The 1976 film is available (in poor quality) on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TS8hpDa_YQ Nimoy reminds of us with this library fashion-alert moment. The episode re-creates the famous "undressing in excitement" story of George Smith discovering the Utnapishtim version of the flood myth. (Later in the episode we get a better shot of Nimoy in the Library.) We discussed the "Ararat Anomaly" briefly. The many searches for Noah's Ark. Physicist Rainer Berger (1930 - 2003) puts a lot of fake evidence to rest with his radiocarbon dating skills. Creationist Henry Morris "an expert in the flow of water??" Jeb discusses Abzu https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abzu briefly. The "Creation Research Society" is behind a lot of the content in this episode. The episode calls him "Dr. Clifford Burdick" but he doesn't appear to have actually been a PhD. Burdick reminded some of us of Reverend Kane from There is some mention of the Younger Dryas - a favorite of Hancockian enthusiasts. Many cultures around the world have flood myths. Many cultures around the world have floods. There may be some connection? Discussion of the site called Doggerland. Warm Mineral Springs http://fksa.org/showthread.php?t=11897 in Florida.
