Ben Bowlin discussed A History of the Franks by Of Tours Gregory of Tours and others, The Book of John Mandeville by Iain Macleod Higgins, The great pyramid by John Chapman (freemason.), The great pyramid; why was it built? & who built it?. by John Taylor (Publisher.), and Our Inheritance in the Great Pyramid by C. Piazzi Smyth. Matt Frederick discussed Missing 411 by David Paulides and others.
