Smart people can be lead astray if they are looking for something. It's seeking confirmation, not the truth. These kinds of "discoveries" pop up on a semi-regular basis. The bogosity is highlighted by the video using an Egyptian pharaohnic image as some kind of "buddha".

I enjoy your posts of Alan Watts lectures and related material, but not this.
