Show Notes
This is my first season produced in English. Season One is available in the original Danish version. What if the greatest lost civilizations aren’t buried under sand or hidden beneath jungle ruins — but erased by time, secrecy, and the way knowledge itself is controlled?
The Lost Civilizations is not a show about myths for the sake of myths. It’s a long-form investigation into what humanity forgets, what institutions obscure, and what questions are quietly declared off-limits.
In our first episodes, we explore the mystery known as the Black Knight satellite — not to prove it’s extraterrestrial, but to expose something more unsettling: how scientific explanations can be delivered without transparency, how authority can replace verification, and how trust is often demanded where evidence is inaccessible.
From classified government programs and institutional science, to anomalies that don’t fit existing models, this series examines the boundary between knowledge and power. Between science as a method — and science as a tool of governance.
But this podcast goes further.
Lost civilizations are not only ancient cultures. They are lost ways of knowing. Lost histories. Lost questions.
From forgotten technologies and suppressed discoveries, to paradigm shifts that never happened — or happened too late — The Lost Civilizations asks one central question:
What happens to truth when only a few are allowed to see it?
If you’re ready to question certainty — welcome.

Is there a hidden civilization beneath our feet?
You wake up in the middle of the night. Your body is paralyzed. You cannot scream. And in the corner of your bedroom, a dark figure is watching you. Some see a shadow. Others see an old woman. And again and again, people describe something even stranger: a tall, dark figure wearing a hat – The Hat Man.
What if the reality around you isn’t quite what it appears to be? The deeper you go down the simulation hypothesis rabbit hole, the stranger the questions become. Why can the universe be described so precisely by mathematics? Does reality have a minimum “resolution”? And why does the quantum world behave so differently from the reality we experience every day? Then there’s something even stranger: mathematical structures resembling error-correcting codes appearing in advanced theoretical physics. In this episode, we follow the trail from Nick Bostrom’s famous Simulation Argument to Donald Hoffman’s theory of reality as an interface, James Gates’ remarkable mathematical connections, quantum physics, cosmic rays, and the mysterious Gateway document produced by U.S. Army Intelligence. Some trails lead nowhere. Others become much stranger the closer you look. Because perhaps the wrong question is whether we live in a simulation. Maybe we should be asking: If we do… how could we ever find out?
Who were the Anunnaki — gods of ancient Mesopotamia, or visitors from another world? In this episode, René explores one of the most fascinating and controversial theories about the origins of humanity. We travel back to ancient Sumer and encounter the Anunnaki, Enki, Enlil, and the Igigi — figures found in some of humanity’s oldest written stories. According to Zecharia Sitchin’s famous theory, the Anunnaki came from the mysterious planet Nibiru. They traveled to Earth in search of gold and eventually altered human evolution through genetic engineering. But what do the ancient Mesopotamian texts actually say? We investigate Nibiru, the Sumerian King List, the creation of humanity, the rebellion of the gods, the Great Flood, the Nephilim, the Apkallu, and theories surrounding ancient gold mines in Africa. Where do the authentic ancient texts end — and where does the modern Anunnaki story begin? Join us as we venture down a rabbit hole where ancient gods, extraterrestrials, and humanity’s forgotten past collide.
In the early 1990s, people around Taos, New Mexico began reporting something strange. A deep, persistent humming sound—like a distant diesel engine. There was just one problem: no one could find the engine. Only some people could hear it. For everyone else, there was complete silence. Scientists, engineers, and researchers from major U.S. laboratories investigated the phenomenon, but the search for a definitive source failed to produce the answer many expected. In this episode, René investigates the mystery of The Taos Hum, following the evidence from low-frequency sound, infrasound, and tinnitus into far stranger territory: military technology, HAARP, Schumann resonances, Havana Syndrome, and the legendary underground Dulce Base. So what are people actually hearing?
