## Resource

Tyler Engle, known as bassforge.us, is a creator and researcher exploring ancient civilizations, sacred geometry, and the deeper patterns connecting history, myth, and consciousness. What started in music production evolved into a platform focused on breaking down complex, often overlooked ideas about the ancient world. In this episode, Tyler shares how his work shifted from bass music into studying hidden history, lost knowledge, and the symbolic systems embedded in ancient cultures. The conversation explores Egypt, the Ark of the Covenant, the Amazon, Atlantis, and the possibility that past civilizations may have been far more advanced than we realize. We also get into consciousness, AI, intuition, and how ancient belief systems may have been different interpretations of the same underlying truths. If you’re drawn to questions about where we came from and what might have been lost along the way, this one opens the door.
