24. John Chewter on the Suppressed 562 A.D. Comet - May 30, 2015
01:26:56||Season 2015, Ep. 24This week John Chewter tells the suppressed story of the 562AD ‘comet’ that caused havoc down the length of the UK, killed many thousands of people, was the major cause of the UK’s Dark Ages and was deliberately covered up by the Pope. However, the story does not end there. It spans seven countries and three continents, possibly explaining a few ‘mysteries’ along the way. This show will likely raise a few eyebrows!John used participate in Roman excavations in southern England, has always been interested in classical and ancient history, especially the bits that ‘do not fit’. He has been researching some of these oddities for some 40 years, sometimes collaborating and assisting other alternative researchers, broadcasters and filmmakers, some of whom have appeared on this show.
