Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioJul 25, 2026

Artist and Mars anomaly researcher George Haas returns to share outtakes from his book The Great Architects of Mars, focusing on a cluster of geometric formations in the Astapus region that he interprets as a ruined military outpost. He ties these alleged structures to Tom Van Flandern's exploding planet hypothesis, John Brandenburg's claims of ancient nuclear war on Mars, and Maya inscriptions he reads as describing a 'star war' involving Mars. The conversation also covers hidden pyramids in China, the history of the term pareidolia, and claims that Mars's moon Phobos is a hollow artificial object.
