Everyone's Quest starts somewhere.

Maybe you're fascinated by ancient civilizations and the people who built them.

Maybe you're interested in archaeology, science, and following the evidence wherever it leads.

Or maybe the questions that keep you up at night are about consciousness, human experience, and what might exist beyond what we currently understand.

So we're curious:

Which rabbit hole are you going down first?

NEW RELEASE TODAY — BASS FORGE × Graham Hancock
🔥“AMNESIA” — Bass Forge ft. Graham Hancock

Austin Quest presenter and DJ Tyler Engle — BASS FORGE has just released the first piece from a project more than four years in the making.

Amnesia combines Tyler’s original music and visuals with the voice of Graham Hancock, reading from Thoth’s prophecy in the Asclepius, a Hermetic text associated with Hermes Trismegistus.

This is more than a track. Tyler is building an immersive live experience where music, ancient knowledge, visual storytelling and ideas collide—each scene drawn from concepts explored in his books and designed to connect together like pieces of a much larger story.

And Austin Quest gets to experience it LIVE.

🎃 A HIGHER VIBRATIONAL HALLOWEEN — AUSTIN QUEST AFTER DARK 🎃After Saturday’s sessions, the Quest continues...
Join fellow Quest attendees and Austin’s own Tyler Engle — BASS FORGE for a Halloween celebration inspired by the deeper roots of the season.

Long before modern Halloween, the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain marked a seasonal threshold—the end of harvest and beginning of winter—and became associated in Irish tradition with gatherings, feasting, and a time when boundaries with the Otherworld were especially permeable.

For Austin Quest, we’re taking inspiration from that ancient spirit and creating something uniquely our own:

COME DRESSED AS YOUR ANCESTORS — OR YOUR FAVORITE PERIOD OF TIME IN THE PAST.

Ancient civilizations. Tribal cultures. Historic eras. Mythic figures. Explorers. Visionaries.

Remember those who came before us.
Celebrate the cultures that shaped humanity.
Connect with your fellow Quest travelers.
Dance into the night with BASS FORGE — ancient beats, modern vibes, higher connections.

Thousands of years of human history have been uncovered.

And yet, there is still so much we don't know.

Sites remain unexplored. New discoveries continue to reshape our understanding of the past. And every answer seems to lead to another question.

Maybe that's what makes ancient civilizations so fascinating.

It's not only about what we've already discovered.

It's about what could still be waiting to be found.

So here's a question for you:

If archaeologists made one major discovery tomorrow, what would you hope they found?

A lost settlement?
A previously unknown civilization?
Evidence explaining how an ancient structure was built?
Something else entirely?
