Episode Details

The Garden welcomes in Professor Edwin Barnhart. You might know him from his appearances on Earth Ancients, his podcast: ArchaeoED, or The Great Courses. He's a noted archeologist with an open mind and does not hold alternative views in a negative light. We discuss a variety of topics but focus on the great civilzations in North America that are often overlooked, and Native American religions. We explore some common beliefs, archeo-astronomy, and the distinction between cult mythology and religion. Sacred twins may come up. Turtles get their due attention. In sum, an excellent conversation on Native American religions and history.
