@thomassellars7390 I quit the workload of broadcasting so I could do something that was less work and stress. So now I'm in academia. In between, I did manual labor. Would've preferred it.
Am i alone in the feeling they know more than they are telling us? Its like they give us precisely enough information to formulate our own conclusions. Interestingly enough, that is the exact way a psi-op is presented. if i didn't know better, id feel like they give us info fully knowing we will come to the conclusions they have prewritten. IRREGARDLESS I dig the show thanks for the entertainment guys. Stay Humble...
@NotThisShipSister1 I'm just saying that in terms of integrity and intent, AJ is worlds above Art Bell. Art Bell was a showman and facts were irrelevant. I think AJ actually cares about facts and differentiates between myth, rumor and fact.
Dear AJ. In 7 episodes of basement you are already beating all my favs. JRE, Shawn Ryan, Dany Jones and his pal, Area51 Chris the magician, Jesse Michels American Alchemy... all of them. Your ability to keep your cool during those 2-4 hour conversations and simply let your guests speak is exactly what JRE used to be at its best. What really stands out is how genuinely you seem to enjoy the time with your guests. You’re not trying to interrogate them or steer the conversation in some predetermined direction-you just let it flow. And the guests you’ve been bringing on from the very beginning? These are the people who should’ve been on JRE years ago. Keep doing what you’re doing. It’s working.💯
I'd concur, besides the first episode....really didn't like that guy. And I don't remember the reasoning why, just cause it wasn't important to keep documented in my brain. But I've thoroughly enjoyed the other episodes, with the Knights Templar dude being my favourite.
@GoochSquatchIf AJ outright says he doesn't believe something that a viewer DOES believe, he might lose a few viewers doing that. I'd want to know what he'd say when he's sure there are no cameras or mics.
Hugh is a great dude, I’ve had the pleasure of being on his podcast once, and on a couple panels at The Quest for Ancient Civilizations conference. He’s funny, genuine, and smart. JJ is a great person too, they’re just a damn pleasure. Ok, glazing off.
Appreciate your work too sir! You seem to approach topics genuinely and from an actual objective POV. Sad how what's supposed to be the norm in the research of sciences is hard to find.
Found this channel when I was in a very dark time around 3 months ago you have since become my favourite channel … thank you for everything you do and keeping people thinking :) 🐠
I really appreciate these long form interviews that you've been hosting. I see you have one of Graham Hancock's books on your desk. It would be really cool if you could book him for one of your interviews.
Another superb episode of the basement covering some of my favourite topics, thank you AJ & for your wonderful guest!!! 👏❣️ As a Turk, your guest done very well in pronouncing many of the names in Türkiye. 🇹🇷
Really sad all these tunnels and hidden areas are getting closed off. Especially with drone tech we have, we could discover so much without endangering anyone.
If I was to make a guess, one excuse they are using is “Nuisance Streamers”. For the Olds here, a recent live-streaming trend that’s been getting attention over the past couple years has been Streamers who basically go to tourist spots and cause a ruckus. This can range from just being rude to outright illegal crimes. Look up Johnny Someli or Vitaly if you want examples. Where I’m going with this is I can absolutely see a streamer going down to these tunnels and damaging the site for clicks, thus ruining it for everybody. It might not happen that often but that would be a great excuse.
Hughes denied Globeki being closed off, he thinks they are genuine excavating it as "BEST they can". Hes a dullard and clearly doesnt know what the govt is about.
Wow, man, I just saw this video with my wife, 3 hours of pure GOLD, and we are totally impressed with how Mr. Newman knows a lot about lots of things around the world. We are totally down for discoveies and disclosure, and he is hands-on on the matter. I'm a fan now! AJ, thanks for doing the basement, man! I've seen lots of different setups like the basement, but yours is way better than any out-there, We watch TWF every episode, and now we are members. Keep it up, AJ. You're the best man. You will be in history as the new Art Bell I'm sure of it.
Have you heard of the Higherside chats? Cuz imo the host Greg Carlwood has already taken the mantle of the new Art Bell, it’s between him and Richard Syrett of Strange Planet. Both OGs in this scene. Don’t get me wrong tho AJ is a really great guy and he does an amazing job.
@trueneese8080 No offense dude, I have never even heard those names in my life... On the other hand the why files is growing and growing even when you think that its all said and done AJ and the Team come up with something else even more interesting every time, I'm not gonna say that those people you mention haven't had their fair share of sweat and blood into their shows but man their no denying TWF is here to stay, not for nothing TWF has over 5M followers... In a matter of not even 3 years my man... I will let that sink for a minute or two.
Have you read Dolores Cannon's books? She padt away now but her books explains most of our civilisation...she did regression Subconscious Hypnosis on people who seemed help because they had thos feeling of not fitting in on this Earth or other reasons and they discovered they had many past lives, even as an Alian. ❤
@kelvinrodriguez284 It's really sad that people will believe this BS. It demonstrates a lack of methodical & empirical research or the willingness to become properly educated or suffer the academic labor of such. I've reviewed the silly theories proffered by this Hugh Newman character and can see plainly his childish meanderings. He is not taken seriously in intellectual or academic circles because his math is senseless, like a paranoid delusional's conspiratorial ascension into self-aggrandizing feats of imaginary genius. Drawing straight lines and making triangles doesn't make you a genius or prove a truth or fact, it is a strong indication of mental disorder, using ink instead of red thread to draw connections that don't exist. None of his numbers or made-up measurements have any relevance whatsoever where he applies them. His insistence that these early civilizations used hallucinogens is unproven. For example, where are the mushroom spores at Gobekli Tepe? When a forensic archeologist finds & dates plant spores, it is at that point they can safely say this plant was in the area. Newman doesn't prove or even suggest such hallucinogenic mushroom spores were discovered at this ancient site. Yet he wants you to believe these ancient people consumed these mushrooms - without proof or indication of any kind - and it was getting high on these that inspired the carving of weird animals on the columns of their structures. Artists don't need drugs to be creative, but non-creatives do to feel creative and artistic. Children in kindergarten don't eat magic mushrooms to draw weirdly shaped dogs and cats or people, they just pick up a crayon, aim and begin drawing without shame or fear of being judged. A goofy looking lizard that resembles a dog with short legs and bad teeth is not a sacred vision induced by chemical derangement; it is just childish interpretations of the things they see in the world without benefit of proper artistic training in realism and perspective. Believing silly men like this whose real objective is to defy the religious beliefs of their youth in search of a 'new mythology' is problematic because they offer no spiritual solace and suffer anguish and anxiety because of it. Their willingness to lead others into anguish and spiritual confusion with them is the real crime here. Oh, and don't forget the aliens. They obsess about those too. Lots of aliens and spaceships the evil government is hiding from us. In fact, they believe the government is organized enough to be considered an entity at all, therefore replacing the devil himself, and that they are the Saviors, the Jesus figures who will save humanity. They are the 'chosen ones', an age-old trope. Don't be fooled by them. They are masterless and directionless men looking to create new cults for themselves via mutual agreement between each other. If they can get you and others to follow, they will at long last prove they are worthy, right, and "cool". Sad as hell, man.
This Basement Podcast is one of the best new things to happen to the internet in a while. Great stuff, surprised it took you this long. You're awesome man, Keep it up
@TheWhyFiles It's going BIG, I tell ya!💥 AJ - I really love seeing you hit your true potential & PURPOSE! I'm so happy to see YOU happy, flowing with newfound energy! Enjoy this. You've sure earned it!🫡
@TheWhyFiles going to add my agreement to this - OMG - these are *AMAZING* - so grateful - ever so GRATEFUL AJ - these are *perfection* giving these people space to just talk, and share - asking the right questions - LOVING these *so much* this, these - words fail me - you bring so much JOY, hope all things AMAZING into my life through this content - these people = these conversations - next LEVEL awesomeness.... 💖💫💖 **THANK YOU***
AJ, In these times especially, we are SO grateful for all your content! We are really enjoying The Basement and absolutely Iove The Why Files. Thank you! Your hard work is really appreciated and it is true that when I can’t sleep I will rewatch an episode, you are just such a friendly voice to me …. You help me relax and check out. You are the best! Cheers my friend 🙏
Once again you’ve shown what sets TWF apart from the rest. You’re onto something AJ and team! Keep it going. I noticed the audio quality is a little wonky. I’m a formerly trained audio recording engineer and post doctor of over a decade. If you need help or guidance on set up, calibration, and “fixing things in post” reply to this comment. All the love from Portland, OR ✨💕✨
@MrMootheMightyib7sed to own a home in the Hoodland Valley, near Welches. Miss it a lot. Really miss the Umpqua Valley area too, but the government just went to far left for me to handle.
Your doctors of sound is impressive sir, I was unaware of the word "Wonky" being a formal diagnosis of sound problems. Maybe in the future be a little more descriptive and a collaboration could of worked.... why not tell us your full thesis?
I cant thank RUclips enough for suggesting The Why Files to me back when it was just barely over 1 million I believe, because AJ was killing it back when it was just a weekly 20 minute show but the addition of the Basement, it has become the best podcast on the internet and given the quality of guests hes gotten in just the 1st 7 episodes, I cant even imagine who is gonna come on in a years time or what type of world changing news will be broke on here, because I really think its heading to that level of respect
I disagree based on Aj’s integrity. He’s never gonna have joe karate on just for clicks. He’ll always be just under people with less scruples imo but I’d love to see him take over.
A.J., I love your interviews and guests and all the knowledge they are sharing. You’re the man, top of the heap, the best of the best at interviewing! Love your patience and interest and your bits of knowledge that show you’ve also been studying some too and helps tie everything together for me that I’ve gathered tidbits of information on but never tied or linked together before and it’s very exciting and interesting. I’m so glad you decided to start The Basement! I know you talked about having a lot of fear/anxiety about doing interviews but you don’t show it. You’re a natural and doing such a great job! People are going to be fighting to get on your show if they aren’t already! They hopefully feel (& should be,) honored & grateful to be a guest on The Basement!
AJ I can't thank you enough for EVERYTHING you do. Not just the epic content you produce, but also going on other shows. I can't do what you do, but I can imagine the immense effort you and your crew put into the content.......so thank you very much.
When I was a kid, about 10yo, I was snorkeling in a lake in GA USA and found what we thought was a Paleolithic scraper. I knew what it was from finding native artifacts near my home in PA USA. It had worked flaked edges and was obviously a cutting/scraping tool. I gave the scraper to my father who put it in his pocket. He went swimming in the lake and forgot it was in his pocket... lost it. Our family has found thousands of native artifacts over the years on family farm land etc. Now most of those aren't nearly as old, but it's still amazing to find. My grandfather and father had found multiple mounds over the years with grave sites, tooled artifacts, ceremonial artifacts, and even...possibly giants. They contacted the Smithsonian in 1960s-70s who took the artifacts and they never heard from them again. My father was in the local paper for it. When they wrote the Smithsonian about the artifacts they were told they couldn't be located.
That's the Smithsonian way of doing things. They are the gatekeepers in America. They will steal and lie or dismiss any evidence that doesn't fit their narrative.
@JAY.ARE47what lake was it. I'll be looking for this artifact. I live in GA if you'll give me a few clues. Ga lakes have so many crazy stories. Including catfish the size of Volkswagen Bugs
@LindysEpiphany. Easier to rule people get them to pay taxes , dependent , when people don’t have knowledge. They make medicine from plants …pharmaceutical medicine. But if people do that at home it’s “quackery” a name specifically coined . . Plain old peroxide has dozens of uses .
As a viewer from Türkiye, I loved this episode. I’ve been fascinated with Gobeklitepe and this made me want to visit there as soon as possible. ❤ I’m not so surprised that our government isn’t very supportive on this matter. But still i am so proud to be born on this land that housed the oldest civilization in history 🥹 great guest, great host, great episode. Thank you, AJ❤ PS: Turkey’s name has been officially changed to Turkiye 😊
@Australian_Made Erdogan's campaign to get the English speak ers to pronounce it correctly has only been in effect a few yrs. Americans have been pronouncing the country Chile' as 'Chilly' for a very long time and only recently have been properly pronouncing it 'cheeLay'. America has many immigrants, struggling w/ English as second language but it unites us. We are learning foreign language nuances from each other. Give us some grace, hmm?
I'm only 5 and a half mins in and so far I'm already loving this guy. He's realizing that things need to be approaching from all angles to understand things better and he's actually answering the questions AJ is asking instead of giving answers that are far off from what was being asked. First basement ep I might actually watch the whole way through.
Entire careers would be turned upside down if they admit humans were capable of feats they claim weren't available thousands of years previously. I personally think humans have had a high civilization in the past, and either self imposed or natural (asteroid/climate) got destroyed. When you look at the geological record, modern humans were around for hundred thousand years, but did nothing until the last 3000-4000? Im not buying it. I've seen what nature can do after a couple of months undisturbed during the lockdowns. I've been to ruins that were barely there, but only a hundred years old. Imagine what would be left after 10000 or more years unprotected. Iron/steel would turn to rust, plastics gone, even radiation would be background radiation. Civilizations could have risen and fallen several times geologically
Maybe because every goofball that talks about these subjects always caveats The thing by saying that they did all kinds of psychedelics. Why would you say that???? You can say so much cool stuff but when you start the conversation off by you should see how much dope these guys took... It knocks some of the allure off it
TOP. NOTCH. Hugh is a legend. He should be right behind Hancock and Carlson in recognition. His depth of knowledge and objectivity should be highly praised.
I really appreciate how the guest came prepared with slides to present . It would be wonderful if more guest would adopt this type of imagery to your audience
I’d love to go on one of Hugh Newman’s tours to these ancient sites! What a wealth of knowledge! Another great tour would be by Brien Forester in Peru.
I loved the English pronunciations of the Turkish sites haha, you guys have no idea how cute you sound in Turkish. Much respect for Hugh's work! Thanks AJ, lovely podcast!
I love WF and the community that it has developed💓. Really enjoying these interviews and I’m genuinely happy that AJ’s able to branch out creatively, he deserves it!
Is that why they find mercury underneath pyramid complexes etc, did they refine it and have it flow out to outside pools to be more stable reflective surfaces than less viscous or habitable (ie emergent reeds, aquatic plants in the way) water?
Just when you think the Why Files couldn't get any better, AJ and Jennifer release this video with Hugh Newman., and hit the ball out of the Park! Thank you.
Best podcast, best content, best host! AJ, you’re knocking it out of the park. Keep it coming. You’re doing a bang up job. Fascinating subjects and guests.
One Takeaway from this excellent discussion is the fact, the establishment is trying to control the history and the timelines. It's actually fun to see their assumptions destroyed by facts and new finds.
Met Hugh and Jim Viera few years back in london. Had dinner with Graham Hancock and Andrew Collins. They are all great people. Nice to see you having him on finally ❤
Crazy I just watched the trailer about 30 minutes ago and was wondering how long I was going to have to wait until this dropped. I'm pleasantly surprised
Probably my favorite guest so far. Very knowledgeable in his field and considering multiple different theories as new information is uncovered. These were the kinds of guests that I enjoyed most on coast to coast as well.
Best guest on the basement so far! Tbh the only one I think isn’t intentionally deceptive & promoted by the deep state mystery religion illuminati or w/e you want to call it.
This is literally blowing my mind! I love all the pics and scans to go with what he is talking about. Hopefully more of your guest can have this kind of evidence to back up their findings! keep killing it AJ!
Loving the new format and the guests so far. This gentleman is on point. Glad we have more than government appointed archeology people looking into these sites. They are amazing.
32:09 THE BEACONS ARE LIT! ROHAN RIDES TO AID!!! lmao sorry random brain. AJ has done it again! So many amazing guests on this podcast! One history shattering announcement after another! I have to thank AJ and the whole team for bringing us this stuff and for being so curious themselves to keep going out and finding and researching these incredible topics
A.J - this is the best interview I've ever watched. Your preparation and knowledge of the subject matter is outstanding. You asked all the right questions and made careful and respectful interruptions that were well timed. The guest was passionate about the subjects. My belief is that the Biblical narrative and non-biblical books ( like Enoch) provide us the answers.
I enjoy the different basement guests. I have a suggestion that maybe others are thinking about too, could you slow the guests down when the put up a diagram or a map and have the explain what we are looking at or use the mouse to point out the features. Great work and thank you so much for the quality shows your producing. It’s awesome!
I'm loving these Basement episodes! Great work AJ. Please keep them coming! This is literally "ground-breaking" revelation that is rewriting the history of human civilization.
Superbly well researched presentation - a pleasure to see a person who lays out the case, clearly, without insisting he is right. Let's the viewer (watcher is what we are) decide. Pity the archaeologists don't pay attention.
What a difference between last weeks guest and this week's in the basement. Humility and humble this week's guest is. He talks about the subject matter and others' contributions in the field. Not many i and me moments. Great guest. Remember, though, last week's gem was a linebacker who went to school on a football scholarship and doesn't take shat, according to him.
And Scott is thoroughly outside of and in opposition to "big archeology". If he was demure and thin skinned we wouldn't know his name or his alternative history theories.
Can't believe its taken so long to have Hugh on your show. Im currently in Malta with Hugh & JJ. Great tours and fun people to be with incl. Andrew Collins & Jim Viera.
My GOODNESS, Why Files Team is CRANKING out content. Don't burn yourselves out! Love you all immensely!
I think these are stress free, no editing (not much) & Its not scripted, AJ looks intrigued & engaged.
There talking not digging ditches
@thomassellars7390 I quit the workload of broadcasting so I could do something that was less work and stress. So now I'm in academia. In between, I did manual labor. Would've preferred it.
@drummerdad80Professor Dave is just so arrogant, callous and rude for my tastes
My Goodness is what she said when i cranked one out too
Best show on RUclips, please never stop making these
nahh this top 100 for sure. I prefer the 30 min episodes. Hecklefish the best.
@puvendranpillay8802 You get both now.
@puvendranpillay8802Hecklefish is reason why I change it. He's annoying and obnoxious. The videos without him flow much better.
Am i alone in the feeling they know more than they are telling us? Its like they give us precisely enough information to formulate our own conclusions. Interestingly enough, that is the exact way a psi-op is presented. if i didn't know better, id feel like they give us info fully knowing we will come to the conclusions they have prewritten. IRREGARDLESS I dig the show thanks for the entertainment guys. Stay Humble...
@cmonman7664 nah hecklefish is the flecks of black pepper... he makes it enjoyable... Lizeed piple!
AJ is the new Art Bell, and I mean that as a compliment. Thanks for the interview!
Wrong! Why? Because AJ cares about the truth. Bell just cared about ratings, even if it meant promoting frauds.
@willchristie2650 😮🤣🤣🤣
@willchristie2650well, he DID mean it as a compliment! Don’t blindly believe everything! I mean AJ is GREAT! Still show discretion anyway.
@NotThisShipSister1 I'm just saying that in terms of integrity and intent, AJ is worlds above Art Bell. Art Bell was a showman and facts were irrelevant. I think AJ actually cares about facts and differentiates between myth, rumor and fact.
Dear AJ. In 7 episodes of basement you are already beating all my favs. JRE, Shawn Ryan, Dany Jones and his pal, Area51 Chris the magician, Jesse Michels American Alchemy... all of them.

You’re not trying to interrogate them or steer the conversation in some predetermined direction-you just let it flow. And the guests you’ve been bringing on from the very beginning? These are the people who should’ve been on JRE years ago.
Keep doing what you’re doing. It’s working.💯
Dont put Danny Jones in there that guy is absolutely sub human
Danny Jones was good till the flop started putting 1010839403738 ads per stream the flop
@AlSanchez-x1i no that guy is missing chromosomes hes always like 3 steps behind his guests just proof the I telnet doesnt care
@Hawkeye7484Danny asks the oddest questions and totally misses it completely
@Audyfrequinomg ty for noticing thats spot on hell ask an intelligent question then make it clear that someone else wrote it. Lol
AJ is hitting HOME RUNS, with The Basement!
I have never been so hyped!
@drummerdad80
You......again.🙄 Why are you here?
I wouldn't say that but ok
Meh
@cherylfox6765 Why do you think you get to decide who frequents these comment sections, woman?
No he isn't. Every guest has been a lying weirdo.
Still some of the best content on the Internet. WF team never fails to impress.
This feels like what JRE used to be. Actual intrigue, genuine curiosity, no barriers. It’s great.
My thoughts exactly. AJ rocks!!
Agree with that!! All he needs now are a good few doses of DMT 👌
He needs a caller line like Coast to Coast, a caller segment with the guests would be rad.
Obviously you screen the calls
AJ has the crown now.
@KaosProject21That would definatly be a game changer
All of the basements episodes have been great. Keep'em coming...👍
A more educated Joe Rogan show, someone who knows how to do real research 1st.
I vote AJ does an episode saying what you truly believe on each subject you have covered. I bet it would be a hit.
I'd concur, besides the first episode....really didn't like that guy. And I don't remember the reasoning why, just cause it wasn't important to keep documented in my brain. But I've thoroughly enjoyed the other episodes, with the Knights Templar dude being my favourite.
@Chalor. 💯 Variety of guests is gunna keep this show great
@GoochSquatchIf AJ outright says he doesn't believe something that a viewer DOES believe, he might lose a few viewers doing that. I'd want to know what he'd say when he's sure there are no cameras or mics.
I never heard of this dude
Where the hell have I been,
Very knowledgeable. I want more…
AJ is crushing it.
I envy you, you have lots of awesome catching up to do!!!
The Why Files are Awesome! Started about 6 years ago, if I remember right
My cat just told me that the sphinx is a cat but my cat likes to tell stories
😂
Made me smile 😅
Must be part crab
I Believe you
Oh pets the snoots
Hugh is a great dude, I’ve had the pleasure of being on his podcast once, and on a couple panels at The Quest for Ancient Civilizations conference.
He’s funny, genuine, and smart. JJ is a great person too, they’re just a damn pleasure.
Ok, glazing off.
Keep digging!! always a pleasure
Appreciate your work too sir! You seem to approach topics genuinely and from an actual objective POV. Sad how what's supposed to be the norm in the research of sciences is hard to find.
DAN!!!! I love your channel too brother!
Uncle Dan 😎🌎...
Dan The Man! Nice to see ya here! There's a beer in the fridge for ya! 😁👍
Found this channel when I was in a very dark time around 3 months ago you have since become my favourite channel … thank you for everything you do and keeping people thinking :) 🐠
Hope you're doing better, my friend. 🐟❤️
AJ has found his CALLING! These interviews are AMAZING!
I really appreciate these long form interviews that you've been hosting. I see you have one of Graham Hancock's books on your desk. It would be really cool if you could book him for one of your interviews.
I’m sure that’s coming down the pipe. Super excited for all of this momentum.
AJ interviewing Graham would break the internet. 😊
I'm sure it's on the table and I'm sure AJ & Graham are totally down for it
AJ is saving that one for sweeps.
Hes been on. But not on TGE BASENENT
Another superb episode of the basement covering some of my favourite topics, thank you AJ & for your wonderful guest!!! 👏❣️ As a Turk, your guest done very well in pronouncing many of the names in Türkiye. 🇹🇷
Really sad all these tunnels and hidden areas are getting closed off. Especially with drone tech we have, we could discover so much without endangering anyone.
That's exactly why they are getting closed off
If I was to make a guess, one excuse they are using is “Nuisance Streamers”.
For the Olds here, a recent live-streaming trend that’s been getting attention over the past couple years has been Streamers who basically go to tourist spots and cause a ruckus. This can range from just being rude to outright illegal crimes. Look up Johnny Someli or Vitaly if you want examples.
Where I’m going with this is I can absolutely see a streamer going down to these tunnels and damaging the site for clicks, thus ruining it for everybody. It might not happen that often but that would be a great excuse.
When us intellectuals take over the world we will just uncover what they covered and find the truth.
Hughes denied Globeki being closed off, he thinks they are genuine excavating it as "BEST they can". Hes a dullard and clearly doesnt know what the govt is about.
Access denied ❌ It’s all being hidden very intentionally, the global elite will let everyone know how to think & what to believe when they are ready 😂
Thank you AJ!!!

This is really helpful. Thank you 🐣💕
How thoughtful! Thank you!❤
AJ you have levelled UP off the charts!!! These discussions would never fit in a standard show format. No stone unturned here!
Sacred geometry is the universal language that will never have it's barrier
*its, not it's
@u@user-ei3jj9fe9i well that just ain’t, right
Sacred geometry is based on God's Firmament.
Wow, man, I just saw this video with my wife, 3 hours of pure GOLD, and we are totally impressed with how Mr. Newman knows a lot about lots of things around the world. We are totally down for discoveies and disclosure, and he is hands-on on the matter. I'm a fan now! AJ, thanks for doing the basement, man! I've seen lots of different setups like the basement, but yours is way better than any out-there, We watch TWF every episode, and now we are members. Keep it up, AJ. You're the best man. You will be in history as the new Art Bell I'm sure of it.
Have you heard of the Higherside chats? Cuz imo the host Greg Carlwood has already taken the mantle of the new Art Bell, it’s between him and Richard Syrett of Strange Planet. Both OGs in this scene. Don’t get me wrong tho AJ is a really great guy and he does an amazing job.
@trueneese8080 No offense dude, I have never even heard those names in my life... On the other hand the why files is growing and growing even when you think that its all said and done AJ and the Team come up with something else even more interesting every time, I'm not gonna say that those people you mention haven't had their fair share of sweat and blood into their shows but man their no denying TWF is here to stay, not for nothing TWF has over 5M followers... In a matter of not even 3 years my man... I will let that sink for a minute or two.
Have you read Dolores Cannon's books? She padt away now but her books explains most of our civilisation...she did regression Subconscious Hypnosis on people who seemed help because they had thos feeling of not fitting in on this Earth or other reasons and they discovered they had many past lives, even as an Alian. ❤
@kelvinrodriguez284 It's really sad that people will believe this BS. It demonstrates a lack of methodical & empirical research or the willingness to become properly educated or suffer the academic labor of such. I've reviewed the silly theories proffered by this Hugh Newman character and can see plainly his childish meanderings. He is not taken seriously in intellectual or academic circles because his math is senseless, like a paranoid delusional's conspiratorial ascension into self-aggrandizing feats of imaginary genius. Drawing straight lines and making triangles doesn't make you a genius or prove a truth or fact, it is a strong indication of mental disorder, using ink instead of red thread to draw connections that don't exist. None of his numbers or made-up measurements have any relevance whatsoever where he applies them. His insistence that these early civilizations used hallucinogens is unproven. For example, where are the mushroom spores at Gobekli Tepe? When a forensic archeologist finds & dates plant spores, it is at that point they can safely say this plant was in the area. Newman doesn't prove or even suggest such hallucinogenic mushroom spores were discovered at this ancient site. Yet he wants you to believe these ancient people consumed these mushrooms - without proof or indication of any kind - and it was getting high on these that inspired the carving of weird animals on the columns of their structures. Artists don't need drugs to be creative, but non-creatives do to feel creative and artistic. Children in kindergarten don't eat magic mushrooms to draw weirdly shaped dogs and cats or people, they just pick up a crayon, aim and begin drawing without shame or fear of being judged. A goofy looking lizard that resembles a dog with short legs and bad teeth is not a sacred vision induced by chemical derangement; it is just childish interpretations of the things they see in the world without benefit of proper artistic training in realism and perspective. Believing silly men like this whose real objective is to defy the religious beliefs of their youth in search of a 'new mythology' is problematic because they offer no spiritual solace and suffer anguish and anxiety because of it. Their willingness to lead others into anguish and spiritual confusion with them is the real crime here. Oh, and don't forget the aliens. They obsess about those too. Lots of aliens and spaceships the evil government is hiding from us. In fact, they believe the government is organized enough to be considered an entity at all, therefore replacing the devil himself, and that they are the Saviors, the Jesus figures who will save humanity. They are the 'chosen ones', an age-old trope. Don't be fooled by them. They are masterless and directionless men looking to create new cults for themselves via mutual agreement between each other. If they can get you and others to follow, they will at long last prove they are worthy, right, and "cool". Sad as hell, man.
@gunillatait4614 Delores Canon was a fraud.
These interviews highlight just how well informed AJ is - the WF episodes aren’t just him reading a script.
This Basement Podcast is one of the best new things to happen to the internet in a while. Great stuff, surprised it took you this long. You're awesome man, Keep it up
Better late than never! Appreciate the kind words!
@TheWhyFiles
It's going BIG, I tell ya!💥 AJ - I really love seeing you hit your true potential & PURPOSE! I'm so happy to see YOU happy, flowing with newfound energy!
Enjoy this. You've sure earned it!🫡
@TheWhyFiles going to add my agreement to this - OMG - these are *AMAZING* - so grateful - ever so GRATEFUL AJ - these are *perfection* giving these people space to just talk, and share - asking the right questions - LOVING these *so much*
this, these - words fail me - you bring so much JOY, hope all things AMAZING into my life through this content - these people = these conversations - next LEVEL awesomeness.... 💖💫💖 **THANK YOU***
AJ, In these times especially, we are SO grateful for all your content! We are really enjoying The Basement and absolutely Iove The Why Files. Thank you! Your hard work is really appreciated and it is true that when I can’t sleep I will rewatch an episode, you are just such a friendly voice to me …. You help me relax and check out. You are the best! Cheers my friend 🙏
@Hedgewalkersmaybe the only "Basement" I wanna be held captive in?
Once again you’ve shown what sets TWF apart from the rest. You’re onto something AJ and team! Keep it going.
I noticed the audio quality is a little wonky. I’m a formerly trained audio recording engineer and post doctor of over a decade. If you need help or guidance on set up, calibration, and “fixing things in post” reply to this comment.
All the love from Portland, OR ✨💕✨
Living in the front lines huh?
@Utoobispublisherit’s definitely hairy. I avoid some places for sure.
@MrMootheMightyib7sed to own a home in the Hoodland Valley, near Welches. Miss it a lot. Really miss the Umpqua Valley area too, but the government just went to far left for me to handle.
Spot on. I have noticed the same with the audio on some of the episodes. 😅
Your doctors of sound is impressive sir, I was unaware of the word "Wonky" being a formal diagnosis of sound problems. Maybe in the future be a little more descriptive and a collaboration could of worked.... why not tell us your full thesis?
I cant thank RUclips enough for suggesting The Why Files to me back when it was just barely over 1 million I believe, because AJ was killing it back when it was just a weekly 20 minute show but the addition of the Basement, it has become the best podcast on the internet and given the quality of guests hes gotten in just the 1st 7 episodes, I cant even imagine who is gonna come on in a years time or what type of world changing news will be broke on here, because I really think its heading to that level of respect
Great to see Hugh getting recognition, and he's looking well!
megalith mania! lol
@drummerdad80 bruh hell nah, name some lies you see...
@drummerdad80 can we see some 'small effort' on your part then? Guess not...
AJ giving the people what they need. The basement is gonna take over, Mark my words😊
I disagree based on Aj’s integrity. He’s never gonna have joe karate on just for clicks. He’ll always be just under people with less scruples imo but I’d love to see him take over.
Every time he says, “Let me show you this” I get excited and geek out.
The moment archaeology meets secret societies, you already know the past is about to look less dead.”
Wow, I super vibe with Hugh Newman. He has AJ's chilled out approach, curiosity and openness to all subjects.
He was an absolute sweetheart
A.J., I love your interviews and guests and all the knowledge they are sharing. You’re the man, top of the heap, the best of the best at interviewing! Love your patience and interest and your bits of knowledge that show you’ve also been studying some too and helps tie everything together for me that I’ve gathered tidbits of information on but never tied or linked together before and it’s very exciting and interesting. I’m so glad you decided to start The Basement! I know you talked about having a lot of fear/anxiety about doing interviews but you don’t show it. You’re a natural and doing such a great job! People are going to be fighting to get on your show if they aren’t already! They hopefully feel (& should be,) honored & grateful to be a guest on The Basement!
I forgot about the basement podcast and I was pleasantly surprised when I found this gem! 💎
AJ I can't thank you enough for EVERYTHING you do. Not just the epic content you produce, but also going on other shows. I can't do what you do, but I can imagine the immense effort you and your crew put into the content.......so thank you very much.
History being rewritten in front of our eyes! Love from South Africa 🇿🇦
0:44 shoutouts to being “bricked up forever” thooo 😂
@MattySupreme69 lol I def did a double take
A gift and a curse 😆😆
@VladdytheBaddie1 lmao, it would def be rough the majority of da time 😅
Lmao same thought
Damn, you beat me to it
When I was a kid, about 10yo, I was snorkeling in a lake in GA USA and found what we thought was a Paleolithic scraper. I knew what it was from finding native artifacts near my home in PA USA. It had worked flaked edges and was obviously a cutting/scraping tool. I gave the scraper to my father who put it in his pocket. He went swimming in the lake and forgot it was in his pocket... lost it. Our family has found thousands of native artifacts over the years on family farm land etc. Now most of those aren't nearly as old, but it's still amazing to find. My grandfather and father had found multiple mounds over the years with grave sites, tooled artifacts, ceremonial artifacts, and even...possibly giants. They contacted the Smithsonian in 1960s-70s who took the artifacts and they never heard from them again. My father was in the local paper for it. When they wrote the Smithsonian about the artifacts they were told they couldn't be located.
Wow, that's terrible but not surprising.
That's the Smithsonian way of doing things. They are the gatekeepers in America. They will steal and lie or dismiss any evidence that doesn't fit their narrative.
@JAY.ARE47what lake was it. I'll be looking for this artifact. I live in GA if you'll give me a few clues. Ga lakes have so many crazy stories. Including catfish the size of Volkswagen Bugs
What reasoning is behind dissappearing information about earths history? I'm a big girl I can handle it!
@LindysEpiphany. Easier to rule people get them to pay taxes , dependent , when people don’t have knowledge. They make medicine from plants …pharmaceutical medicine. But if people do that at home it’s “quackery” a name specifically coined . . Plain old peroxide has dozens of uses .
Im so glad aj chose to do the basement, never a bad video or podcast
As a viewer from Türkiye, I loved this episode. I’ve been fascinated with Gobeklitepe and this made me want to visit there as soon as possible. ❤ I’m not so surprised that our government isn’t very supportive on this matter. But still i am so proud to be born on this land that housed the oldest civilization in history 🥹 great guest, great host, great episode. Thank you, AJ❤
PS: Turkey’s name has been officially changed to Turkiye 😊
@Australian_Made Erdogan's campaign to get the English speak ers to pronounce it correctly has only been in effect a few yrs. Americans have been pronouncing the country Chile' as 'Chilly' for a very long time and only recently have been properly pronouncing it 'cheeLay'. America has many immigrants, struggling w/ English as second language but it unites us. We are learning foreign language nuances from each other. Give us some grace, hmm?
0:03 why files is the best show on RUclips hands down
I'm only 5 and a half mins in and so far I'm already loving this guy. He's realizing that things need to be approaching from all angles to understand things better and he's actually answering the questions AJ is asking instead of giving answers that are far off from what was being asked. First basement ep I might actually watch the whole way through.
Why does mainstream archaeology refuse to even entertain these guys? Hughs work seems logical and sound, at least worthy of investigation
Funding determines what they can do, and they're funded to protect existing works and do nothing else
Because they are anal retentive Snobs
Because they are reptiles hiding the truth.
Entire careers would be turned upside down if they admit humans were capable of feats they claim weren't available thousands of years previously. I personally think humans have had a high civilization in the past, and either self imposed or natural (asteroid/climate) got destroyed. When you look at the geological record, modern humans were around for hundred thousand years, but did nothing until the last 3000-4000? Im not buying it. I've seen what nature can do after a couple of months undisturbed during the lockdowns. I've been to ruins that were barely there, but only a hundred years old. Imagine what would be left after 10000 or more years unprotected. Iron/steel would turn to rust, plastics gone, even radiation would be background radiation. Civilizations could have risen and fallen several times geologically
@AliciaBarnett-hl8cklizzard people!
Tnx A.J. and crew! This is my favorite show now.
Hugh is so cool. He's reasonable, humble, intelligent, and diplomatic. Loved this conversation. Thanks, AJ and Hugh!
Hugh Newman!! This is what its all about down in that basement. Love this👌🫵🫡
15 minutes ago this dropped? My god, I'm never this early. Love the show.
Jimmy Corsetti on the basement next would be EPIC
That's happening.
This my favourite RUclips show for a while. Keep pushing
11:35 ONCE AGAIN I DONT KNOW WHY WE ARE NOT PRIORITIZING EXPLORING THESE PLACES THEY SEEM TO BE THE MOST IMPORTANT DISCOVERIES ON EARTH
I agree
Maybe because every goofball that talks about these subjects always caveats The thing by saying that they did all kinds of psychedelics. Why would you say that???? You can say so much cool stuff but when you start the conversation off by you should see how much dope these guys took... It knocks some of the allure off it
Wonderful and impressive show ! Wishing for answers instead of more questions!
I love the basement thing. Getting to see Hecklefish just makes it better. ❤
TOP. NOTCH.
Hugh is a legend. He should be right behind Hancock and Carlson in recognition. His depth of knowledge and objectivity should be highly praised.
All three of those guys are modern heroes
@user-ei3jj9fe9iheroes...that's a stretch
@jimtran-z3q yes heroes indeed! Get up and stretch your mind body and soul
@user-ei3jj9fe9i😂🙄🤪
This has been such an insightful journey. Thank you gents for the conversation.😊
I really appreciate how the guest came prepared with slides to present . It would be wonderful if more guest would adopt this type of imagery to your audience
Coz has podcast
I was just watching "Giants Unearthed" when i get the notification for this episode. Pretty fking cool.
I’d love to go on one of Hugh Newman’s tours to these ancient sites! What a wealth of knowledge! Another great tour would be by Brien Forester in Peru.
Calling in sick to stay home and watch this 😅😊
I just watched it at work
AJ and family, these are yet ANOTHER feather in your caps. Please don't stop any of the different shows, they are all superb.
I loved the English pronunciations of the Turkish sites haha, you guys have no idea how cute you sound in Turkish. Much respect for Hugh's work! Thanks AJ, lovely podcast!
I love both formats but the basement has been my top podcast recently. I really enjoy the chats and you letting the guest speak. This has been great
I love WF and the community that it has developed💓. Really enjoying these interviews and I’m genuinely happy that AJ’s able to branch out creatively, he deserves it!
It's taking several session to work through this one because I don't want to miss any of those slides. What a great interview!
Those shallow pools of water were used by the Olmec, to help reflect the stars so they could map them. Ingenious idea to look down to map the stars
As Above So Below. Magick is real.
Cool! Didn’t know that.
Is that why they find mercury underneath pyramid complexes etc, did they refine it and have it flow out to outside pools to be more stable reflective surfaces than less viscous or habitable (ie emergent reeds, aquatic plants in the way) water?
Just when you think the Why Files couldn't get any better, AJ and Jennifer release this video with Hugh Newman., and hit the ball out of the Park! Thank you.
And.....I think they're having fun doing it!😊 It's good to see AJ with a kick in his step.
Best podcast, best content, best host! AJ, you’re knocking it out of the park. Keep it coming. You’re doing a bang up job. Fascinating subjects and guests.
One Takeaway from this excellent discussion is the fact, the establishment is trying to control the history and the timelines. It's actually fun to see their assumptions destroyed by facts and new finds.
Yes!
I would also like to see Hugh and Jason Breshears (Archaix) come together and destroy more BS the establishment has been pushing.
Met Hugh and Jim Viera few years back in london. Had dinner with Graham Hancock and Andrew Collins. They are all great people. Nice to see you having him on finally ❤
Understatedly Outstanding. ❤
You are truly blessed
Did any of them order bread with ancient grains? : -)
Wait who are you sounds like a handler for sure. Nah seriously that's amazing
Such an experience to treasure, I bet.🙏
I was on his Egypt tour a couple years ago, great guy, insightful, content dense trip.
The Basement is absolutely LIT 🔥
FACTS! Im enjoying these interviews so much. Plus, AJ absolutely deserves the chance to branch out creatively.
Quit
@drummerdad80your interaction and comments help drive the algorithm. Thanks for coming out.
Crazy I just watched the trailer about 30 minutes ago and was wondering how long I was going to have to wait until this dropped. I'm pleasantly surprised
Same here
Probably my favorite guest so far. Very knowledgeable in his field and considering multiple different theories as new information is uncovered. These were the kinds of guests that I enjoyed most on coast to coast as well.
Best guest on the basement so far! Tbh the only one I think isn’t intentionally deceptive & promoted by the deep state mystery religion illuminati or w/e you want to call it.
Loving this long format! Thanks AJ!
I love the Basement interviews. You are a top notch interviewer AJ!
God Bless you sir for not putting that awesome preview too far from his release 🙌🏽😁
Basement has become my favorite part of the Why Files. Great work.
Every time I think AJs content cant get any better I'm proved wrong! Good job!
❤ yay something of substance to watch😊
Thank you🎉
Love these basement sessions... They're all worth at least a second listen.
This is literally blowing my mind! I love all the pics and scans to go with what he is talking about. Hopefully more of your guest can have this kind of evidence to back up their findings! keep killing it AJ!
I just spent 4 hours walking my dog to Jesse's video, welp here goes another 3, thanks AJ, keep up the good work sir
I enjoy the Basement episodes since the show brings me guests that I may not have listened to in the past.
Would love more episodes on Peru!
Loving the new format and the guests so far. This gentleman is on point. Glad we have more than government appointed archeology people looking into these sites. They are amazing.
I love how AJ is just as excited as us watching. I really enjoy this new format.
Love these basement interviews. Keep em coming AJ.
32:09 THE BEACONS ARE LIT! ROHAN RIDES TO AID!!! lmao sorry random brain. AJ has done it again! So many amazing guests on this podcast! One history shattering announcement after another! I have to thank AJ and the whole team for bringing us this stuff and for being so curious themselves to keep going out and finding and researching these incredible topics
If Gondor calls for aid !!! Rohan will answer !! You have my blade, and my bow and my axe !!😂
A.J - this is the best interview I've ever watched. Your preparation and knowledge of the subject matter is outstanding.
You asked all the right questions and made careful and respectful interruptions that were well timed. The guest was passionate about the subjects.
My belief is that the Biblical narrative and non-biblical books ( like Enoch) provide us the answers.
I enjoy the different basement guests. I have a suggestion that maybe others are thinking about too, could you slow the guests down when the put up a diagram or a map and have the explain what we are looking at or use the mouse to point out the features. Great work and thank you so much for the quality shows your producing. It’s awesome!
Spot on.
These collaborations are awesome! Thank you AJ and Hecklefish for all you do! :)
I agree 100%. everything WF's is getting better as the years go on.
I love how much aj gets into this stuff lol
I'm loving these Basement episodes! Great work AJ. Please keep them coming! This is literally "ground-breaking" revelation that is rewriting the history of human civilization.
Superbly well researched presentation - a pleasure to see a person who lays out the case, clearly, without insisting he is right. Let's the viewer (watcher is what we are) decide. Pity the archaeologists don't pay attention.
Probably my favorite Basement episode so far.
Hugh's been killing it lately, at least on my Feed - hes the man on all shows/podcasts
What a difference between last weeks guest and this week's in the basement. Humility and humble this week's guest is. He talks about the subject matter and others' contributions in the field. Not many i and me moments. Great guest. Remember, though, last week's gem was a linebacker who went to school on a football scholarship and doesn't take shat, according to him.
And Scott is thoroughly outside of and in opposition to "big archeology". If he was demure and thin skinned we wouldn't know his name or his alternative history theories.
@grantpringle8950IDC
What??? Hugh is on the why files?? Woohoo ❤🎉 20 years Hugh!
You should do an episode on the druids
Yawn
Killing it with these basement episodes
The Basement episodes have been so good!
Fascinating guest.
Can't believe its taken so long to have Hugh on your show. Im currently in Malta with Hugh & JJ. Great tours and fun people to be with incl. Andrew Collins & Jim Viera.
