Description: Art Bell welcomes investigative mythologist William Henry to examine ancient weapons and their connections to modern power structures. Henry argues the Ark of the Covenant functioned as both a communications device and a weapon responsible for tens of thousands of deaths, with radioactive tablets producing lethal beams requiring priests to wear protective clothing. He traces a lineage from this technology through Heinrich Himmler's occult research facility to a clock tower Saddam Hussein built in Baghdad mirroring Himmler's Spear of Destiny design.Henry reveals that Nashville, Tennessee houses a 2,200-foot-long structure matching both Himmler's and Saddam's constructions, suggesting these edifices encode knowledge about ancient stargate technology. He describes how Egyptian depictions of Ra sailing through gates of stars use shapes identical to Stephen Hawking's portrayal of wormholes, proposing that modern physics is rediscovering a primordial science of interdimensional travel.The conversation expands into the idea that human DNA contains instructions for interfacing with these gateways and that the approaching technological singularity represents humanity's chance to transcend current limitations. Henry points to scientists from major universities quietly studying locations where craft appear to enter and exit luminous portals, suggesting the convergence of ancient myth and modern physics may soon become undeniable.
