Tickets On Sale this Thursday, September 27! MILWAUKEE, WI (Tuesday, September 25, 2018) Adventurer, television personality, and author Josh Gates is the host and executive producer of the new Travel Channel series, Expedition Unknown and he is coming to the Marcus Center on Friday, January 25, 2019 at 8:00 pm. Tickets go on sale this Thursday, September 27 at the Marcus Center Box Office.

VIP Ticket Package Available! – Purchasers will take part in an exclusive meet and greet with Josh Gates and receive an autographed copy of Destination Truth: Memoirs of a Monster Hunter. The show takes viewers around the world and off the map for thrilling investigations into history's most iconic legends. From Amelia Earhart to lost Incan cities, Gates travels to some of the most remote corners of the planet in immersive, hilarious, and nail-biting journeys of discovery. The series blends his unique brand of humor with a passion for exploration. For five years, Josh also helmed and co-executive produced the hit Syfy Channel series, Destination Truth. Each week, Gates and his intrepid team set out to investigate age-old mysteries, recent cryptozoological sightings, and paranormal reports. The groundbreaking series is regarded as one of the most globe- spanning shows on television, touching down in nearly twenty countries each season (take that, Amazing Race). The show features remote and often never- before-filmed locations, from the distant mountains of Bhutan to the cannibal jungles of Papua New Guinea. Also, he eats very gross things and changes a lot of flat tires. Usually while swearing. Other expeditions include the first ever overnight filming in the infamous tomb of King Tut as well as the sprawling temple of Angkor Wat. The team also made headlines by spending an entire night in the shadow of the world’s worst nuclear accident at Chernobyl - Arguably not Josh's best idea. A mysterious “Yeti” footprint recovered by Josh in the Himalayas is now on display at the Expedition Everest attraction at Walt Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Orlando, Florida. An avid scuba diver and photographer, Josh has participated in sub-sea archaeological excavations in the Mediterranean, and his wanderlust has taken him from sweltering African deserts to the icy shores of Antarctica. To date, he has set foot in more than ninety countries, has scaled "the roof of Africa" on Mt. Kilimanjaro, and climbed Aconcagua, the tallest mountain in the Americas. Josh holds degrees from Tufts University in Archaeology and Drama and is a fellow of The Explorers Club, a prestigious organization dedicated to the advancement of exploration and field research. Also, they have stuffed polar bears and a lot of scotch. For five years, Josh also served as the host of the immensely popular Ghost Hunters Live, in which he attempts to not freeze to death while broadcasting for six hours straight in the freezing cold. In 2011, the Halloween special made Syfy the #1 rated cable network in primetime (and made Josh the #1 human popsicle in primetime). In 2010, Josh hosted the live 100th episode of Ghost Hunters from the historic stage of Studio 8H in Rockefeller Center. He has also appeared on The Today Show, CNN, and a variety of other national television and radio programs. More of Josh’s travels are chronicled in his bestselling book, “Memoirs of a Monster Hunter,” which was published by Simon and Schuster in 2011. Josh currently resides in Los Angeles and on airport floors around the world.

  • Urban Myths Mythical Cryptids
    Ziptales Advanced Library Worksheet 2 Urban Myths Mythical Cryptids ‘What is a myth? It is a story that pretends to be real, but is in fact unbelievable. Like many urban myths it has been passed around (usually by word of mouth), acquiring variations and embellishments as it goes. It is a close cousin of the tall tale. There are mythical stories about almost any aspect of life’. What do we get when urban myths meet the animal kingdom? We find a branch of pseudoscience called cryptozoology. Cryptozoology refers to the study of and search for creatures whose existence has not been proven. These creatures (or crytpids as they are known) appear in myths and legends or alleged sightings. Some examples include: sea serpents, phantom cats, unicorns, bunyips, giant anacondas, yowies and thunderbirds. Some have even been given actual names you may have heard of – do Yeti, Owlman, Mothman, Cyclops, Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster sound familiar? Task 1: Choose one of the cryptids from the list above (or perhaps one that you may already know of) and write an informative text identifying the following aspects of this mythical creature: ◊ Description ◊ Features ◊ Location ◊ First Sighting ◊ Subsequent Sightings ◊ Interesting Facts (e.g. how is it used in popular culture? Has it been featured in written or visual texts?) Task 2: Cryptozoologists claim there have been cases where species now accepted by the scientific community were initially considered urban myths. Can you locate any examples of creatures whose existence has now been proven but formerly thought to be cryptids? Extension Activities: • Cryptozoology is called a ‘pseudoscience’ because it relies solely on anecdotes and reported sightings rather than actual evidence.

  • Book Section Reprint the STRUGGLE for TROGLODYTES1
    The RELICT HOMINOID INQUIRY 6:33-170 (2017) Book Section Reprint THE STRUGGLE FOR TROGLODYTES1 Boris Porshnev "I have no doubt that some fact may appear fantastic and incredible to many of my readers. For example, did anyone believe in the existence of Ethiopians before seeing any? Isn't anything seen for the first time astounding? How many things are thought possible only after they have been achieved?" (Pliny, Natural History of Animals, Vol. VII, 1) INTRODUCTION BERNARD HEUVELMANS Doctor in Zoological Sciences How did I come to study animals, and from the study of animals known to science, how did I go on to that of still undiscovered animals, and finally, more specifically to that of unknown humans? It's a long story. For me, everything started a long time ago, so long ago that I couldn't say exactly when. Of course it happened gradually. Actually – I have said this often – one is born a zoologist, one does not become one. However, for the discipline to which I finally ended up fully devoting myself, it's different: one becomes a cryptozoologist. Let's specify right now that while Cryptozoology is, etymologically, "the science of hidden animals", it is in practice the study and research of animal species whose existence, for lack of a specimen or of sufficient anatomical fragments, has not been officially recognized. I should clarify what I mean when I say "one is born a zoologist. Such a congenital vocation would imply some genetic process, such as that which leads to a lineage of musicians or mathematicians.

    THE SHERPA AND THE SNOWMAN Charles Stonor the "Snowman" exist an ape DOESlike creature dwelling in the unexplored fastnesses of the Himalayas or is he only a myth ? Here the author describes a quest which began in the foothills of Nepal and led to the lower slopes of Everest. After five months of wandering in the vast alpine stretches on the roof of the world he and his companions had to return without any demon strative proof, but with enough indirect evidence to convince them that the jeti is no myth and that one day he will be found to be of a a very remarkable man-like ape type thought to have died out thousands of years before the dawn of history. " Apart from the search for the snowman," the narrative investigates every aspect of life in this the highest habitable region of the earth's surface, the flora and fauna of the little-known alpine zone below the snow line, the unexpected birds and beasts to be met with in the Great Himalayan Range, the little Buddhist communities perched high up among the crags, and above all the Sherpas themselves that stalwart people chiefly known to us so far for their gallant assistance in climbing expeditions their yak-herding, their happy family life, and the wav they cope with the bleak austerity of their lot. The book is lavishly illustrated with the author's own photographs.

  • Ancient Rome the Spread of Christianity
    Ancient Rome The Spread of Christianity ● The notes on Christianity mentioned that Jesus was crucified, but they don’t go into great detail as to why ○ While there was general religious tolerance in the Roman Empire, people were supposed to put the emperor and Roman gods above all else (remember that Rome was a polytheistic culture prior to adopting Christianity as their state-sponsored religion) ○ Romans were trying to avoid more Jewish revolts and viewed Jesus as a threat to their power (i.e. they didn’t want to get overthrown) ○ In Crash Course World History #11, John Green states that the Romans condemned Jesus to death, not the Jewish people ■ The simple answer to that is that both groups didn’t want Jesus around ■ In the New Testament of the Bible, the Roman Governor of Judea Pontius Pilate literally “washes his hands” of killing Jesus after his wife had a dream about Jesus and she begged for his life to be spared ■ In the same story, the Jewish people in the crowd chose to free a murder known as Barabbas instead of Jesus The Spread of Christianity ● Prior to his death, Jesus predicted that one of the twelve apostles was going betray him (Judas) ● Jesus was crucified on a hill called Golgotha in Jerusalem...if you remember completing a worksheet on the city of Jerusalem way back when, there was a location on the map called the Church of the Holy Sepulchre: the church was built on top of the hill that Jesus was crucified on ● Had we been in school, we were going to watch an Expedition Unknown Episode on finding the cross that Jesus was crucified on ○ Legend claims that Constantine sent his mother Helena to Jerusalem in AD 326 to find the cross ○ Helena found a cross on the hill of Golgotha & in order to prove it was indeed the cross that Jesus died on, she had a sick woman touch it.
