Show Notes

Welcome to Mysterious Universe Season 36, episode number 15! If you are not already on Plus+, your FOMO must be a-flutter, because this is episode 06 of our This Hollow Earth Saga. Sign up in the link below to catch up on this incredible journey.

Today, on episode 06, we get to one of the most important discussions of the hollow earth’s actuality, found within the pages of the novel, THE COMING RACE AND VRIL POWER by Edward Bulwer Lytton. This is the so-called “fictional story” that inspired one of the most sacred beliefs of the Third Reich and ushered in an ambitious and bizarre point of interest for these well-dressed delinquents.

Then for Plus+, we ask what if the Great Pyramids of Egypt were built to preserve an entire civilization rather than bury its kings? Exploring Scott Creighton's The Secret Chamber of Osiris, we follow his investigation into ancient flood legends, the sixteen pyramids, and a mysterious location beyond the Giza plateau where he believes a hidden chamber may still exist. From disputed hieroglyphics and forgotten engineering techniques to an unexpected excavation in the desert, it's a wild journey into one of Egypt's enduring mysteries.

With examples from robotic surgery, Michelin kitchens, warehouses, bomb disposal, banking, and more, our second installment of Matt Beane’s The Skill Code explores how we build real expertise, and how intelligent machines could either hollow that process out or help create an entirely new kind of apprenticeship.
