On August 10, Linda Moulton Howe first reported on a high strangeness finding in Alaska: an apparent buried pyramid about 50 miles from Mt. McKinley. She has followed up on this story, and the explosive results can be heard in an absolutely riveting witness interview in this edition of Dreamland. The pyramid is larger than the Pyramid of Cheops and is completely buried. It’s exact co-ordinates have been found, and the witness Linda interviews this week provides much more detail about what was going on there in recent years.

Scientists have discovered a lot of DNA that we don’t seem to have a use for, so they’ve called it "junk" DNA. But now they may be discovering that it’s not just junk, after all. They now think that at least 80% percent of it is active and needed.

The human genome is packed with at least four million gene switches that reside in bits of DNA that scientists now realize play critical roles in controlling how cells, organs and other tissues behave. In fact, complex diseases–from diabetes to depression–may be caused by tiny changes in hundreds of gene switches. It could explain why one person gets a disease, when another (who has been exposed to the same environmental contaminants) doesn’t. This even happens to identical twins!
