    Twelve halls of records, only one excavatedGhost Wolf says tradition holds that twelve such record sites exist worldwide and they have only scratched the surface of one.

Art Bell welcomes Robert Ghost Wolf and Dannion Brinkley to discuss an extraordinary archaeological discovery in the central United States. Ghostwolf describes unearthing over 200 artifacts from a buried temple site, including Egyptian hieroglyphics, Celtic inscriptions, Hebrew tablets, and what appears to be a depiction of the Ark of the Covenant. The find suggests multiple ancient civilizations left records in one location long before Columbus arrived in 1492.

Brinkley reveals he took photographs of key artifacts to famed Egyptologist Zahi Hawass, who identified one piece as originating from the Ptolemaic period without knowing it was found in American soil. The two guests also discuss the last-minute cancellation of the planned gold capstone ceremony atop the Great Pyramid, speculating that officials feared activating what they believe is an ancient machine designed to harness electromagnetic energy.

Callers react with a mix of astonishment and skepticism as Art examines the high-resolution photographs posted on his website. Ghostwolf maintains that 12 such sacred record sites exist across the continent, each containing knowledge left by previous civilizations to guide future generations through cyclical catastrophes. The discussion touches on connections to the Book of Mormon, Edgar Cayce prophecies, and Native American oral traditions about ancient visitors known as the Old Ones.
