Peter James Jupp, known professionally as Peter "Mungo" Jupp, is an Australian archaeologist, filmmaker and independent researcher based in Mount Eliza, Victoria. He is associated with the Electric Universe movement and is known for arguing that cosmic electrical discharges have driven mass extinctions and produced the near-instantaneous fossilization of living organisms.

Biography

Jupp majored in archaeology at the University of Melbourne, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts, and also studied filmmaking techniques and production at the university's School of Creative Arts. He is a member of the Australian Archaeological Association.

Alongside his archaeological interests, Jupp pursued a career in medical radiology, working with the companies Siemens, Hewlett-Packard and Toshiba. He combines this technical background with his knowledge of archaeology, ancient history, biology, chemistry, magnetic phenomena and mythology.

Jupp produces documentary films and articles on catastrophism through his subscription video website MungoFlix and his site Ancient Destructions.

Work

Jupp's research proposes that many of Earth's fossils formed not gradually over geological ages but almost instantaneously, through the action of high-energy plasma and electrical discharges. Drawing on laboratory studies of electric discharge and transmutation, he presents petroglyphs, ancient art, writings, verbal traditions and dance motifs as evidence that "cosmic thunderbolts" may have contributed to some of the world's largest mass extinction events and to the destruction of ancient civilizations. Related themes in his work include electrical transmutation of living and extinct species, biological transmutation, and abrupt historical climate shifts such as the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age.

Within the Electric Universe community, Jupp has contributed presentations and articles to The Thunderbolts Project, covering subjects such as electric fossilization, electric transmutation and the evolution of life on an "electric earth." He presented his case for instantaneous fossilization at the EU2017: Future Science conference on 20 August 2017.
