Did you know that the mythological Norse God Thor may have ties to, and may have been derived from a much more ancient God, from a much more ancient civilization, far away from the fiords? In fact, the roots of our cultures run deep in time, and those roots spread around the globe. Come on a journey with us as we connect those roots in ways you probably never would have imagined. This is the Ancient Stories Podcast.

AS E15 - Symbolism in the Hindu Religion (00:27:36)
Despite drawing the borders of Hinduism as more of a philosophy than a religion, this episode explores how symbolism plays a role in helping us focus on the principles that Hinduism offers us, often in the form of rituals and "gods". We focus on one of the most popular Hindu deities Rama, and how, in his story, he models our desired actions and virtues.
AS E14 - Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and Harvey Firestone - A Remarkable Friendship (00:28:02)
We all know about Thomas Edison and the lightbulb, and electricity, and perhaps even his famous rivalry with Nikola Tesla, but this episode of Ancient Stories fills out our understanding of Edison's life and his friendships with Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone and how that friendship shaped American industry.
E13 - The Indian Holocaust - Part 3 (00:40:46)
We wrap our mini-series on The Indian Holocaust which saw the British and the East India Company ravage the nation and people of India for hundreds of years, leaving a path of deprivation, poverty, and famine that resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of women, children, and families all purely for greed. It's a story that rarely gets told but the horrifying effects linger on in current-day India.
E12 - The Indian Holocaust - Part 2 (00:30:13)
In Part 2 we explain how the vicious deprevation of salt from Indian people by the British, purely for greed, devastated a cultural and its people, with echos of the horrors lingering to this day.
E11 - The Indian Holocaust - Part 1 (00:33:09)
We begin a multi-episode series that attempts show England's pillaging and decimation of India in a more accurate context. We begin with Robert "Clive of India", the East India Company and a deadly Salt Tax, enforced in part by the Great Hedge, a 2,500-mile-long hedge to help prevent evasion the of the onerous tax, which led to tens of millions of Indian deaths.
E10 - The Gnostic Gospels - The Teachings of Jesus (00:34:29)
Learn the history of the Gnostic Gospels, first-hand accounts of the teachings of Jesus which were hidden and suppressed for the better part of 2000 years. Hear about their discovery after World War II, their authentication by the Vatican, and the now Saint that fought to discredit them.
E9 - Edgar Cayce - America's Miracle Man - Part 2 (00:33:16)
In part two of our exploration of Edgar Cayce we learn how Cayce's readings turned to reincarnation, past lives, dreams, the afterlife and enlightenment.
E8 - Edgar Cayce - America's Miracle Man - Part 1 (00:37:52)
In part one of a two-episode series we introduce you to Edgar Cayce and American clairvoyant from the late 1800s who spent decades identifying miracle cures for people remotely from a trance-like state, despite being raised by uneducated farmers. Cayce's feats were documented extensively including secretaries assigned from two US Presidents. And as "Part 1" suggests, that's only the beginning of the story
E7 - La China Poblana (00:18:09)
China Poblana is a traditional style of dress for the women of Mexico, recently featured in the Disney animated movie Encanto, but the story of how it became so begins on the shores of India in the early 17th century as a 10-year-old Indian Princess is kidnapped by Chinese pirates and sold into slavery.
E6 - Daughters Reincarnated to the Same Family in England (00:28:21)
The fascinating story of the Pollack twins born in England in the late 1950s may be one of the most straightforward illustrations of reincarnation. The twin girls were born to a family that just 17 months earlier had watched their two young daughters be killed by an erratic driver while they were on their way to church. Are Gillian and Jennifer reincarnations of Joanna and Jaquelin? We present the evidence in this episode of Ancient Stories
E5 - Adima and Heva, the Vedas "Garden of Eden" story of Adam and Eve (00:29:49)
The story of Man's creation in Genesis and the banishment of Adam and Eve may have descended from the Vedas story of Adima and Heva in Ceylon. The similarities in the two tales are compelling and the differences between them are fascinating, especially in the differences between Heva's and Eve's creation, and their roles in the story.
E4 - Korea's Origins (00:18:40)
Nearly 2,000 years ago the King of Ayodhya had a dream in which God ordered him to send his daughter on a ship to meet her husband in another land. He complied and that dream led to the Karak Dynasty in Korea. Descendants of that Korean King and the Princess of Ayodhya are said to number over 6 million in Korea, nearly 10% of its population, and the marriage closely binds the people of Korea and India to this day.
E3 - The Prince Who Came Back to Life (00:31:48)
It sounds like a 3,000-year-old fable handed down for millennia. Still, the story of the Prince of Bahwal, the prince who rose from the dead, ends, we think, in 1946 after several court cases with both British and Indian judges deciding that the prince had indeed returned from death and the kingdom was rightfully his. There are volumes of evidence in this case, and perhaps even more speculation, theory, and gossip and it all provides a fascinating Ancient Story (with an equally fascinating ending).
E2 - Scandanavian Origins (00:26:10)
We know the names Thor and Oden, and we certainly know the names Sweden and Norway. Those names, those stories, and those cultures all have very ancient roots from far, far, away lands. These cultures began in a surprising place.
E1 - Your Ancient Roots - An Introduction (00:27:43)
Hear an overview of how civilization moved out of Africa, first landing in what is now India and then spreading influence and culture to the Mediterranean and Europe. See how the trail is clearly marked by the names of people and places and our favorite mythologies
