Pip: The Overmanwarrior is a site where you go to learn about Ohio politics and leave three hours later having reconsidered the Bronze Age.
Mara: Rich Hoffman has been doing exactly that kind of cross-disciplinary digging — connecting ancient earthworks, non-human intelligence, and the question of who actually holds sovereignty over the human race. That’s the territory today.
Pip: Let’s start with giants, frogmen, and what Wright-Patterson Air Force Base may or may not have in storage.
Loveland Frogmen, Giants, and the Politics of Ancient Intelligence
Mara: The central question here is whether the official story of human prehistory has been deliberately kept shallow — and what surfaces when you keep asking the next question after the comfortable answer.
Pip: The post opens with a direct statement of method: “History is already written, mostly by people who stop digging the moment the official story feels comfortable enough to protect careers and funding streams.”
Mara: That framing drives everything that follows. The argument is that mainstream archaeology and ancient history leave certain dots deliberately unconnected — and that connecting them changes the political stakes of the present, not just the academic record.
Pip: So what happens when someone actually connects them? The post lands on a convergence: Timothy Alberino on the Joe Rogan Experience, mid-July 2026, discussing the Kandahar giant — a massive humanoid reportedly killed by American troops in Afghanistan, its body flown out on a pallet and taken to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
Mara: And the post notes that Wright-Patterson is a short drive from the author’s home — that proximity to the base, and to people who held clearances there, gives the claim a specific texture. The men he’s spoken with, he writes, smile, lower their voices, and say reverse-engineering of foreign technology has always been the cover story.
Pip: The Alberino interview is treated less as a revelation than as confirmation of a trajectory already underway — one that runs through Ohio’s Hopewell earthworks, Florida’s Windover Bog, the megalithic temples of Malta, and the copper mines of Lake Superior.
Mara: The copper argument is striking. Between roughly 5000 and 1200 BC, miners removed hundreds of thousands of tons of nearly pure native copper from the Lake Superior basin. The post argues the volumes don’t account for local use — and that the missing metal may have fueled the Bronze Age in the Near East and Europe.
Pip: And if copper moved, so did people and knowledge. The Maltese temples at Ġgantija — whose name literally means Giant’s Tower — predate the pyramids, and the Newark Earthworks in Ohio track the 18.6-year lunar standstill with precision that matches Stonehenge. The post asks whether distant cultures independently solved identical astronomical problems, or shared a source.
Mara: That source, the post suggests, is non-human intelligence — the same class of entity that appears in Genesis 6, in shamanic traditions globally, and, closer to home, along the Little Miami River, where the Loveland Frogmen were sighted in 1955 and 1972, precisely where Hopewell ritual sites once stood.
Pip: The political question the post keeps returning to is blunt: if non-human intelligences have been shaping human history for millennia, sovereignty that stops at the water’s edge or the atmosphere is not sovereignty at all.
Mara: All of it feeds into the forthcoming book, The Politics of Heaven, which the post frames as an attempt to gather these threads — the copper trade, the lunar mathematics, the giant remains, the frogmen — into a single, continuous argument about who has actually been governing the human story.
Pip: Which makes the Alberino-Rogan conversation less a podcast episode and more a signal that this argument has moved from late-night AM radio to the center of public discourse.
Mara: The closing line of the post captures that shift — the week on South Bass Island, daughters cooking breakfast, the manuscript finished, the pattern finally locked into place.
Pip: The thread running through all of this is sovereignty — who holds it, who has always contested it, and how deep you have to dig before the question gets genuinely uncomfortable.
Mara: That reckoning with older layers of history, as the post puts it, is coming. Next episode, we’ll see what else surfaces.

Pip: Welcome to The Overmanwarrior — where today’s episode involves beer, skulls, a Florida swamp, and a manuscript that wants to rewrite the prehistory of human consciousness. Just a regular Monday.
Mara: Rich Hoffman is shopping a manuscript called The Politics of Heaven, and the post that anchors this episode pulls together Göbekli Tepe, the Windover burial pond, the Old Copper Culture, and the psychedelic sacrament thread that Brian Muraresku traced through the ancient world.
Pip: That is a genuinely wide table to set. Let’s start with what Göbekli Tepe was actually doing eleven thousand years ago — and why the answer is darker than the tourism brochure suggests.
Beer at Göbekli Tepe and the Skull Cult of Doom
Mara: The central question here is what kind of place Göbekli Tepe actually was — because the cheerful “calendar temple where people watched the stars” version turns out to be incomplete.
Pip: The post puts it plainly: “The parties and the skulls belong to the same world.” Six large limestone troughs, some holding up to a hundred and sixty liters, carry calcium oxalate residues consistent with fermenting grain. Thousands of grinding stones. Massive bone piles from communal feasts. Industrial-scale liquid preparation at a site with almost no domestic architecture.
Mara: So the upshot is that people were gathering in large enough numbers to need brewery-scale infrastructure eleven to twelve thousand years ago — before the standard story of agriculture and beer arriving together in a tidy package.
Pip: And then the skulls show up and the vibe shifts considerably.
Mara: Three human skulls from the site show deliberate post-mortem modification never previously documented in that form. Deep, straight grooves cut with flint tools along the sagittal axis, one drilled perforation consistent with suspension by cord, traces of red ochre, and roughly ten percent of all skull fragments from the site carry cut marks consistent with defleshing. Published in Science Advances in 2017.
Pip: Ancestor veneration, trophy display, or both — carried out in the same enclosures where the troughs once stood. That is a complete ritual world, not a side note.
Mara: The post connects this to Brian Muraresku’s work in The Immortality Key — the argument that a long, hidden thread of psychedelic sacrament runs from the Greek Mysteries through early Christian centuries, a tradition too threatening for the institutional church to leave alone. The Göbekli skull cult fits the same pattern of altered-state ceremony and death-rebirth symbolism.
Pip: Windover, in central Florida, sits in that same deep time. Bodies staked into a peat pond in fetal positions facing west, wrapped in the oldest surviving textiles we have, brains still intact in ninety-one skulls — more than a thousand years of continuous mortuary practice implying a sustained belief about the dead.
Mara: And the Old Copper Culture around Lake Superior — people hammering pure native copper into tools as early as ninety-five hundred years ago — extends the geography. The post is careful: claims of Near Eastern inscriptions on Michigan stones are outside mainstream acceptance, and the more dramatic nineteenth-century relics have problems. But lower sea levels and coastal routes mean the absence of accepted evidence is not the same as proof nothing moved.
Pip: The Troy parallel is the engine of the argument. Frank Calvert identified Hisarlik, dug methodical trenches, published his case. Heinrich Schliemann arrived with money and obsession and no formal training, carved a trench straight through the mound, destroyed strata — and found the city. Rough methods, real result.
Mara: The manuscript is framed as a map for the next generation of independent investigators — people willing to dig without waiting for the next grant cycle. As the post puts it: “We need more Calverts.”
Pip: Which means the book is less a conclusion than a set of coordinates for whoever goes out and digs the next Troy.
Mara: The four threads — psychedelic continuity, Windover, the copper and dolmen landscapes, and the full ritual reality of Göbekli Tepe — are meant to sit together in one readable architecture so the trail is clear and the questions are hard to ignore.
Pip: Beer, skulls, bog bodies, and copper hammered before the pyramids were a thought. The foundation keeps turning out to be older and stranger than the official timeline admits.
Mara: And the argument is that understanding what people practiced before the familiar kingdoms matters — because every later assumption sits on that ground. More on where these threads lead next time.

I am sitting in a portable office far from home, looking out at a landscape that is not Butler County, and the books stacked around me keep circling the same problem. I have been shopping The Politics of Heaven to publishers and agents, and the recurring question is the simplest one: why another book? Why not keep writing the daily pieces and posting the videos? The answer is speed and depth simultaneously. The blog and the videos let me move fast. A book lets me put the full architecture on the table so the people who actually dig—the modern Calverts—have something coherent to work from.
Four threads run through the manuscript. The first is the continuation of what Brian Muraresku laid out in The Immortality Key: a long, hidden thread of psychedelic sacrament that runs from the Greek Mysteries through the early Christian centuries, a religion with no name that was too powerful, or too threatening, for the emerging institutional church to leave alone. The second is the Windover people in central Florida, one of the most important archaeological sites in the Americas, where bodies were carefully placed in a pond between roughly eight and seven thousand years ago, wrapped in the oldest surviving textiles we have, oriented toward the setting sun, with brains still intact in dozens of skulls. The third is the dolmen landscapes—hundreds of them in the Jordan Valley and the broader Near East from the Early Bronze Age —and the parallel stone structures and copper-working culture around Lake Superior, which began as early as 9,500 years ago. The fourth is the chemical and osteological evidence from Göbekli Tepe itself, which has grown darker, not lighter, the more we learn.
Start with the troughs. At Göbekli Tepe, six large limestone vessels, some holding up to one hundred sixty liters, carry residues of calcium oxalate—the same marker that forms during the steeping, mashing, and fermenting of grain. The site sits in the heartland of wild cereals. There are thousands of grinding stones. There are massive bone piles from animals slaughtered for communal feasts. The 2012 analysis by Dietrich and colleagues was careful: the oxalate results were preliminary and not fully reproducible with the tests available at the time. Later integrated studies still treat the vessels as tools for processing large quantities of cereal liquids—porridges, gruels, and very possibly early beer. The point is not that every trough was a pure brewery. The point is that people were gathering in numbers large enough to require industrial-scale liquid preparation eleven to twelve thousand years ago, right at the edge of the Younger Dryas, in a place with almost no domestic architecture and every sign of ritual focus. https://gobekli-tepe.com/blog/beer-brewing-feasting-gobekli-tepe/
That is already enough to rewrite the old story that beer and agriculture arrived together in a neat package much later. But Göbekli Tepe is not a cheerful calendar temple where people held hands and watched the stars. Three human skulls recovered from the site show deliberate post-mortem modification never before documented in that form. Deep, straight grooves were cut with flint tools along the sagittal axis from forehead over the crown and, in one case, continuing onto the back of the skull and mandible. One skull has a drilled perforation near the top, consistent with suspension by cord. Traces of red ochre remain. The grooves appear to have been made after the soft tissue was removed. Roughly ten percent of all skull fragments from the site carry cut marks consistent with defleshing. Iconography on the pillars and sculptures—headless figures, a kneeling form holding a severed head—reinforces the emphasis. Selected skulls were cleaned, marked, and displayed. This is ancestor veneration, trophy display, or both, carried out in the same ceremonial enclosures where the large troughs once stood. The parties and the skulls belong to the same world. https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/3/6/e1700564.full
I have walked the Upper Peninsula. I know the copper country around Lake Superior. The Old Copper Culture is real and impressive: people were hammering pure native copper into tools as early as ninety-five hundred years ago, earlier than many expected, with a peak later in the Archaic. That technology is indigenous and sophisticated. Claims that particular stones bear Baal marks or that certain megalithic features are exact architectural twins of Jordan Valley dolmens remain outside mainstream acceptance; many of the more dramatic inscribed relics unearthed in the nineteenth century have tool marks or other problems that render them unreliable. Yet the absence of accepted evidence is not proof that nothing crossed the ocean. Sea levels at the end of the last glacial period were substantially lower—on the order of two hundred feet or more around ten thousand years ago. Coastlines looked different. Island-hopping and coastal routes were easier. The Mediterranean is not an ocean, but skilled seafarers who already moved copper and ideas around the Near East and the Aegean would not have found the Atlantic an absolute barrier. We do not yet have the artifacts that would settle the question. Most of the coastal evidence from that era is underwater or has eroded. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.371.6536.1299
Windover sits in the middle of that same deep time. A peat pond in Florida served as a site for more than 1,000 years of continuous use. Bodies were wrapped in plant-fiber textiles, staked into the peat in fetal positions facing west, sometimes accompanied by tools and ornaments. Brains survived in ninety-one skulls because interment happened quickly. This is not a simple hunter-gatherer disposal ground. It is a sustained mortuary tradition that implies belief about the afterlife and the proper treatment of the dead. When I set that beside the Göbekli skull cult and the later Hopewell practices that also elevated heads and skulls in ritual contexts, the pattern is hard to ignore. Head veneration and altered-state ceremonies appear early and recur. https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/windover-bog-bodies
Muraresku’s book did the useful work of dragging the psychedelic thread into public view and tying it to real archaeology and classical texts. The Eleusinian kykeon, the possibility of ergot or other additives in fermented drinks, the continuity into early Christian circles—these are not wild inventions. They are arguments built on existing scholarship that still make many academics uncomfortable. The same discomfort appears when the conversation turns to beer at Göbekli Tepe or to the possibility that copper from the Great Lakes moved farther than the conventional maps allow. The academic system is designed to protect itself from rapid disruption. Rules of evidence, peer review, funding cycles, and political overlays around indigenous remains all slow the rate at which new data can force a rewrite of the narrative. That is not always malice. It is institutional inertia. But inertia has a cost when the underlying record is already fragmentary.
Troy is the classic counter-example. Frank Calvert, a British consular official and amateur with skin in the game, identified Hisarlik, bought part of the mound, dug methodical trenches, and published his reasons for believing it was the real city. Heinrich Schliemann, a wealthy German businessman with no formal archaeological training, obtained the permit, excavated on a dramatic scale, and made the discovery famous. Schliemann’s methods were rough; he destroyed strata he should have recorded. Yet without the outsider who was willing to dig where the consensus said there was nothing, the city might have remained a literary ghost for another generation. Academia needed the passion and the risk-taking. The same pattern repeats. The people who move the ball are often not waiting for the next grant cycle or the next committee vote.
That is why I am writing the book. I am not trying to replace careful excavation with speculation. I am trying to put the four threads—psychedelic continuity, Windover, the dolmen and copper landscapes, and the full ritual reality of Göbekli Tepe—into one readable architecture so that the next generation of independent investigators has a map. The skulls hanging in the enclosures, the large troughs that once held fermented grain liquids, the carefully staked bodies in a Florida pond, the copper tools hammered nine thousand years ago beside Lake Superior—these are not conspiracy theories. They are pieces of a deeper human story about how people once spoke with whatever intelligences they believed inhabited the world, how they marked their dead, and how they organized themselves long before the familiar kingdoms of the Near East or the classical Mediterranean. The academic pace is too slow for the volume of material still in the ground or underwater. We need more Calverts. We need people willing to dig, to ask the uncomfortable questions, and to publish what they find without waiting for permission.
The Politics of Heaven is written for those people. It carries the footnotes and the bibliography so the trail is clear. It does not pretend that every parallel is proven contact. It does insist that the parallels are real enough and the gaps in the record are large enough that we cannot keep pretending the official timeline is complete. Beer and skulls at the dawn of monumental architecture, complex burial rites in the Florida Archaic, early copper metallurgy in the Great Lakes, and a long sacramental tradition that institutional religion tried to suppress—these are not side issues. They are the foundation. Until we understand what people thought and practiced before Abraham, before the Pharaohs, before the classical gods were given their familiar names, every later assumption sits on soft ground.
I have no interest in burning down the university. I like the Greek ideal of higher learning and intellectual stamina. I refuse to wait another generation for the system to process evidence that is already in front of us. The book is one more tool for the people who will go out and dig the next Troy.
⭐ 1. Göbekli Tepe has a genuine “skull cult” — this is not fringe, and here is a list of the discoveries. Much darker than I had been thinking of the site.
Archaeologists have found:
human skull fragments
three skulls with deliberate carvings
deep incisions made after death
cut marks showing defleshing
holes drilled into skulls
possible suspension or display of skulls
This is not random violence.
It is ritual manipulation of human skulls.
The findings were published in Science Advances in 2017.
—
⭐ 2. The skulls were intentionally modified
The carvings include:
parallel deep grooves
V‑shaped incisions
cuts made with flint tools
drilled holes
These marks were made after death, but before the bone fully dried, meaning:
✔ The skulls were processed intentionally
✔ The cuts were ritual, not accidental
✔ The skulls were likely displayed or used ceremonially
This is consistent with ancestor veneration or shamanic ritual.
—
⭐ 3. The skulls were probably hung or mounted
One skull had a drilled hole, which strongly suggests:
suspension
display
ritual presentation
possibly use in ceremonies
This is similar to skull cults found in:
Jericho
Çayönü
Neolithic Levant
Natufian sites
Göbekli Tepe fits into a broader Near Eastern skull‑veneration tradition.
—
⭐ 4. Why skulls?
In early ritual cultures, skulls represent:
ancestral presence
ritual authority
shamanic power
death and rebirth
contact with the spirit world
boundary crossing
The skull is the seat of identity in many ancient symbolic systems.
Göbekli Tepe’s skull carvings are consistent with:
initiation rites
ancestor invocation
ritual feasting
altered‑state ceremonies
shamanic leadership
—
⭐ 5. The skulls appear in the same enclosures as the snakes
Enclosures with:
snakes
scorpions
composite beings
predatory animals
skull fragments
…suggest a symbolic system involving:
✔ death
✔ transformation
✔ altered consciousness
✔ initiation
✔ boundary crossing
Snakes + skulls = death‑rebirth symbolism, common in shamanic traditions worldwide.
—
⭐ 6. Were the skull rituals connected to intoxicants?
There is no direct evidence of psychedelic use.
But the ritual context strongly suggests:
communal feasting
beer consumption
trance states
shamanic performance
symbolic death‑rebirth experiences
If ergot‑infected barley was used (plausible), the beer could have produced:
mild visionary states
dreamlike consciousness
ritual trance
This would fit perfectly with skull‑based initiation symbolism.
—
⭐ 7. The deeper meaning
Göbekli Tepe’s skull culture shows:
✔ Ritual preceded agriculture
✔ Death symbolism preceded civilization
✔ Shamanic authority existed before cities
✔ Monumental architecture served ritual, not domestic life
✔ Early humans engaged in complex symbolic behavior long before farming
This is exactly the kind of deep‑time ritual consciousness your manuscript is built around.
—
⭐ Bottom Line
✔ Göbekli Tepe had a real skull cult.
✔ Skulls were carved, defleshed, and displayed.
✔ This was ritual, not violence.
✔ It fits into a broader Near Eastern skull‑veneration tradition.
✔ It aligns with shamanic death‑rebirth symbolism.
✔ It pairs meaningfully with the snake imagery.
✔ It supports the idea of altered‑state ritual, even without psychedelics.
⭐ How the Lost City of Troy Was Actually Discovered
For centuries, Troy lived in that strange space between myth and memory — a city everyone knew from Homer, but no one could actually find. The breakthrough came in stages. In 1822, Scottish journalist and geologist Charles Maclaren proposed that the mound at Hisarlık in northwestern Turkey was the true location of Homeric Troy, though most scholars dismissed the idea at the time. The next major step came from Frank Calvert, an English expatriate and amateur archaeologist who began exploratory digs at Hisarlık in the 1860s. Calvert owned part of the land and spent years collecting artifacts and studying the mound, eventually persuading the German businessman‑turned‑archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann to excavate there rather than at the more popular site at Pınarbaşı.
Schliemann arrived in Turkey in 1870, driven by a lifelong obsession with proving that Homer’s world was real. His excavations at Hisarlık between 1870 and 1890 uncovered the remains of multiple ancient cities stacked atop one another — nine Troys in total, each built over the ruins of the last. His methods were crude by modern standards: he carved a massive trench straight through the mound, destroying valuable layers in his rush to reach what he believed was the earliest, “Homeric” level. Still, his work exposed a fortified citadel, convincing scholars that Hisarlık was indeed the site of ancient Troy.
The most sensational moment came in 1873, when Schliemann uncovered a cache of gold, silver, and bronze artifacts near the citadel walls — the famous “Priam’s Treasure.” He claimed these belonged to the legendary King Priam, though modern dating shows the hoard actually came from Troy II, a city more than a thousand years older than the Troy of the Iliad. Despite the controversy, Schliemann’s discoveries electrified the world and permanently changed archaeology. Today, most scholars identify Troy VI or VII — not Schliemann’s Troy II — as the likely city of Homer’s Trojan War, but the credit for locating Troy belongs jointly to Calvert’s insight and Schliemann’s relentless drive.
Notes:
1. Large limestone troughs at Göbekli Tepe (capacities up to ~160 L) and calcium oxalate residues consistent with cereal fermentation were reported by Dietrich et al. in Antiquity (2012). Subsequent use-wear and residue studies (Dietrich et al. 2020) support large-scale processing of cereal liquids, with beer remaining a plausible but not fully conclusive interpretation within a clear feasting context.
2. Three intentionally modified human skulls from Göbekli Tepe—deep post-mortem sagittal grooves cut with stone tools, one drilled perforation, ochre traces—were published by Gresky, Haelm & Clare in Science Advances(2017). The modifications are unique in the regional record and indicate selected skulls were prepared for display or suspension. Broader defleshing cut marks appear on a significant percentage of cranial fragments.
3. Windover Pond, Florida, is a peat cemetery used for more than a thousand years, centered on roughly 7000–6000 BCE. Exceptional preservation includes brain tissue in 91 individuals and plant-fiber textiles. Bodies were typically flexed, oriented west, and staked in place. The site is a National Historic Landmark and one of the most important Early Archaic mortuary complexes in North America.
4. The Old Copper Culture of the Lake Superior region produced hammered native-copper tools beginning as early as ~9500 years ago, with a later Archaic peak. The metallurgy is firmly indigenous. Specific claims of Near Eastern inscriptions or exact architectural parallels with Jordan Valley dolmens have not been accepted by mainstream archaeology; many dramatic 19th-century “Michigan relics” are considered forgeries or misidentified.
5. Frank Calvert identified and partially excavated Hisarlik before Heinrich Schliemann obtained the permit and conducted the large-scale digs that made Troy famous. The episode remains a standard illustration of the role of determined amateurs in major discoveries.
6. Brian C. Muraresku, The Immortality Key: The Secret History of the Religion with No Name (2020), synthesizes archaeological, classical, and chemical evidence for a continuous psychedelic-sacrament tradition. The core claims remain debated but rest on published scholarship rather than pure invention.
