Sacred Geometry: What Ancient Patterns Can Teach Us | Drew Brophy

Surf artist and sacred geometry researcher Drew Brophy joins for a wide-ranging conversation that connects the physics of water, the origins of sacred geometry, the cyclical nature of cosmic catastrophe, and the question of what ancient civilizations were actually trying to tell us. The scale of the discussion moves from the Nepal flood event and its measured discharge rates to the flows that carved Grand Coulee at roughly 650 times that magnitude, and from a single vertical stick in the ground to the full astronomical tracking systems embedded in megalithic sites around the world. Robert Dakota from Quest for Ancient Civilizations also joins to discuss the upcoming Austin event and the conversations it will host.

Drew brings a rare combination of perspectives to this material. As a big wave surfer, he has an intimate understanding of the power of water that most researchers simply do not have. As an artist trained in dynamic symmetry and compositional geometry, he recognized the patterns encoded in ancient sites before he ever encountered the geological argument. And as someone who spent 28 days in a coma after a near-death experience in 2021, he shares a deeply personal account of what he encountered on the other side and why he believes the ancient sites are our ancestors trying to reach us. The conversation moves through Eratosthenes measuring the circumference of the Earth with a shadow, the Taurid meteor stream and the Tunguska event, the DART asteroid redirection mission, drumlins in Western New York, and the Great Year cycle that appears to govern the tempo of catastrophe on this planet.

**GUEST:**

Drew Brophy is a surf artist, painter, and sacred geometry researcher based in San Clemente, California. For 40 years he has worked across the action sports and music industries, painting surfboards and creating art for brands including Lib Tech, Sublime, Slightly Stoopid, and Google. His sacred geometry works draw from studying ancient cultures and traveling to ruins around the world. In 2021, Drew survived a near-death experience that included 28 days in a coma and a two-year recovery, an experience he describes as a profound remembering that reshaped everything he thought he knew.

Robert Dakota is the host and creator of Quest for Ancient Civilizations, a live event series bringing together researchers, scientists, and independent investigators exploring humanity’s lost past. The next Quest event takes place in Austin, Texas, October 16th-18th at ACL Live.

**ABOUT:**

Randall Carlson is a researcher, geologist, and master builder who has spent more than five decades documenting evidence for cyclical cosmic catastrophes. His work centers on the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis, the Ice Age megafloods that scoured the Pacific Northwest, and the sacred geometry encoded in ancient architecture across the world. He hosts the Squaring the Circle Podcast and continues to lead field expeditions to investigate these questions firsthand.
