Tyler Engle built BassForge teaching music production. His curiosity about sound eventually led him into sacred geometry, ancient monuments, mythology, and consciousness. Now much of his work centers on a bigger question: does the familiar account of human history explain everything we've left behind?
In this episode, Tyler shares what draws him to ancient sites and the patterns he sees across cultures. He and Tab consider what builders may have known, what old stories might mean, and why the pyramids never appear in the Bible. Their questions take in the Amazon, the Ark of the Covenant, AI, and nonhuman intelligence. Tyler explains which ideas keep him looking, while Tab brings the curiosity that made him want Tyler in the chair.
How do you stay curious about unconventional ideas without accepting every theory you encounter? Tyler talks about how his approach to research has changed, why he shares his thinking with his audience, and where he draws a line when a claim doesn't hold up. That gives the ancient-history questions more weight: you hear not just what interests him, but how he decides to keep looking.
