Episode: The True Story of Atlantis | Nazi and 9,000 year old telephone
Description: Welcome to Season 11! In this episode, we’re diving into the truth behind Atlantis—no glowing crystals or ancient aliens here. Just mythology, philosophy, pseudoscience, and a wild detour into Nazi occultism (yep, really).
Discover how Plato’s fictional allegory became one of the most misunderstood stories in history, how it fueled racist pseudoscience, and why people *still* believe in the Lost City today. Plus: real sunken cities, academic beef, and why archaeologists would LOVE to find Atlantis.
