Different researchers. Different disciplines. Different perspectives.

One room built for bigger questions.

Austin Quest brings together voices exploring archaeology, ancient civilizations, geology, consciousness, human origins, and the evidence that continues to challenge what we think we know.

October 16–18, those conversations happen live at ACL Live.

And you're invited to be part of them.

There is a difference between discovering something online and sitting across from someone who has spent years asking the same questions.

That's what makes Quest different.

You can watch the videos anywhere.

You can read the books anywhere.

But there is something different about being surrounded by hundreds of people who share your curiosity.

October 16–18, the conversation moves from the screen to Austin.

đź“Ť ACL Live at The Moody Theater

Come curious. Bring your questions. Find your people.

FROM THE DESERT GLASS TO THE “MIDNIGHT SUN”
This weekend at the Sedona Gem & Mineral Show, Kevin Petrilli of Sedona Amulets came across a fascinating piece of Libyan Desert Glass—a natural glass formed when desert material was exposed to extraordinary heat.
The process is known as vitrification: material containing silica is heated intensely enough that it melts and then cools into glass. Libyan Desert Glass, found across parts of the Great Sand Sea of western Egypt and eastern Libya, is an extraordinary natural example of this process.
For Kevin—an artist who has spent decades working with rare stones, metals and unusual materials—it was another reminder of what can happen when Earth, extreme energy and time collide.
And that brings us to one of Kevin’s rarest creations:
✨ MIDNIGHT SUN — ONE OF ONE
Kevin is making Midnight Sun available to a serious collector who not only appreciates a truly high-end, one-of-a-kind piece, but also wants to help support the future of World ViewZ Media.
Collector price: $30,000.
50% of the proceeds will go directly toward supporting the WVZM Studio in Sedona.
Kevin and SedonaAmulets.com are also sponsors of Austin Quest for Ancient Civilizations and supporters of World ViewZ Media—helping us continue creating gatherings, conversations, films and explorations around the ancient world.
So, for you high rollers and serious collectors out there: this is an opportunity to acquire something that only exists once while putting part of your investment directly behind the next chapter of WVZM.
🌙 MIDNIGHT SUN
One of a kind. Never to be replicated.

I’m heading to Austin soon for Austin Quest, and I hope you’ll join me!

One of the things I enjoy most about these gatherings is getting to talk with people who are as interested in the mysteries of the past as I am. There’s always more to discuss than we have time for, and some of the best conversations happen between the talks.

If you’re coming for the weekend, have a look at the XTRACCESS Mezzanine tickets. And if you can only make it for a day, Saturday tickets are available for $179.

I’d love to see some familiar faces and meet a few new ones. Come say hello!

October is here.

And in just two weeks, curious minds from across the country will meet in Austin for three days built around some of humanity's biggest questions.

Ancient civilizations. Archaeology. Science. Consciousness. Discovery.

But Quest is about more than what happens on stage.

It's about finally being in a room with people who are willing to ask the same questions you are.

INSIDE THE HOBBIT HOLE — WITH KEVIN PETRILLI
What does it take to turn a stone into a one-of-a-kind piece of art?
We step inside Kevin Petrilli’s workshop—his self-described “Hobbit Hole”—for a sneak peek at his tools, creative process and a new piece taking shape: The Crystal Scepter.
Kevin walks us through a creation featuring gold, citrine and optical quartz, including a quartz crystal he sliced, polished, gold-leafed and reconstructed.
For Kevin, a piece often begins with one stone—and then, as he puts it, “they kind of create themselves.”

Citrine
