Meet William Claypool | Researcher

We had the good fortune of connecting with William Claypool and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi William, can you talk to us a bit about the social impact of your business?
I started flippin_history, on instagram and eventually a podcast on youtube and/or spotify, to help answer historical questions I and others have. One of these questions is “How was the Grand Canyon formed?” I can tell you it wasn’t over millions of years. I have found several people that feel the historical facts we were taught in school didn’t really make sense and after I began my research into our ancient past everything began to come together like a puzzle and things started making sense. Knowing others in the world feel the same way, I set out to post my findings, sharing them with the world and leaving them open for discussions. My goal is to uncover the truths of the world so we can update our teachings, which unfortunately appears to be stuck in the early 1900’s ideology, and teach the future without bias.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
With all the miss information in most media platforms today, I have set out to uncover the truths of our past without any bias. I let the information and facts guide me. I dive deep into scientific research and articles from all eras and then make my own inquiries to see what data holds up. The results have blown my mind on many occasions. My recent discovery of Saqsaywaman in Cusco, Peru appears to be an effigy of a serpents head and has really made me excited for the fact it would make it the largest effigy in the world and likely date much later than thought. If it wasn’t for my passion and interest in ancient history and knowledge I would likely spend my days in the boring daily grind being unhappy with life. I’ve always been good at puzzles so it’s been fairly easy seeing the connections others have missed or chosen to not see. What I have learned is nothing is as it seems and you can’t believe everything you’re told. It’s always best to research the facts yourself. I may not have a degree in history or archeology, but I have the passion and determination to spend hours and days researching and reading reports on history in order to see all side’s of a story. Even with all my research I keep an open mind to possible new finds that may change my mind later.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I don’t get out much but first I would have a cookout with my grill and relax in the quiet wooded area I live and enjoy some delicious BBQ. Second take a morning hike in Turkey Mountain and show where the ancient Celtic ogham writings are found. Maybe take the bikes out on the trails.Third go out to one of the pool halls, Magoos or Sharky’s, and enjoy some drinks and pool and likely sing some karaoke.
Forth drive out to the Great Salt Plains to hunt for the famous hourglass selenite crystals. Then go four wheeling in the sand dune’s.
Fifth maybe catch a concert or show at the BOK Center.
One of the most interesting places to check out is the Center Of The Universe in downtown Tulsa where you can hear everything echoing around you even though it’s outside. An exciting place to visit is the Castle of Muskogee and their Medieval shows.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
It all started after hearing Randall Carlson and Graham Hancock on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast covering the Younger Dryas Impact theory and ancient civilizations. Randall changed the way I looked at America’s geography in a big way. I’ve read many of Graham Hancocks books, Fingerprints of the Gods and Magicians of the Gods, and found he had several great views and finds on our mysterious ancient past.
