Brilliant. I've been watching your programs during lunch daily and now I've finally finished all of the content. Are you still making more content? When can we expect new content? Also, could you tell us a bit about your current employment and daily activities; you're a fascinating individual.

@jashot7 I'm impressed you've watched the whole series! Sadly Controversial TV (for whom I made Challenging Reality) has now closed after loosing its satellite space. I'm therefore not -- for the moment! -- planning any more of it. I currently work as a lecturer and spend my days lecturing, doing admin, writing, and making videos. My last book was on cloud computing. Currently I'm writing the next on future studies for publication in 2011. This will limit my video production for a few months.

I wonder how advanced the world would be if Christianity didn't exist at all.

Awesome! The intro music was made on eJay Dance software :)

How can someone claim that the pyramid was built for the king but the very same person can't explain how it was done in 20 years (which is impossible... even TODAY) ??? We're definately not getting anywhere on this!

if the Pyramids are 4 to 5000 year old Why is man just saying 2011 I think the world I older than even you say some one Hideing some thing  I know The trueth

at 4:35 to 5:30 curios, you got blurb from what appears to be an establishment Egyptologist, who first of says it the building of the pyramids was done using ramps and dragging these stones up them, but then contradicts himself and says they found no of evidence of how it was done and goes on to say that the effort to build a mile-long ramp outdoes the Great Pyramid at Giza.

All non-sense. He knows nothing and has not even considered alternative methods. He just admits they don't know!

at 4.44 I have to disagree about the ramp..He talks about a ramp that he thinks can only be strait outward,,in a preavious photo u saw nanural sand dunes along side the pyramid..as well these people used sand for their ramps but not outward...around the builsing.as they went upward around each layer , higher and higher..this also caused a large hole..well , guess were the rock came from..thats right the hole.it is beieled the pyramid is built on one of the largest rock formations...my theory
