Episode 5 - Hidden Civilizations

In this riveting episode of Unexplained History, host Tom McKenzie takes listeners deep into the mysteries of Hidden Civilizations—enigmatic societies said to have thrived before disappearing from the annals of history. From whispered legends to modern conspiracies, this episode explores the possibility of entire civilizations lost beneath the sands, submerged under oceans, or erased from memory.The journey begins with the controversial Tartarian Empire, a supposed advanced society wiped from history, and the intriguing Mud Flood theory, which suggests a catastrophic event buried ancient cities under layers of earth. Are these anomalies evidence of forgotten worlds, or simply the product of natural erosion and urban evolution? The exploration then turns to the enduring legends of Atlantis and Lemuria.Plato’s tale of Atlantis speaks to the heights of human achievement and the dangers of hubris, while Lemuria embodies the dream of a harmonious utopia, lost to time yet alive in myth. Do these stories hold echoes of real events, or are they allegories born from humanity’s imagination and longing for a golden age?Throughout the episode, McKenzie examines why these myths captivate us, questioning what they reveal about our collective psyche and our unyielding desire to uncover hidden truths. Whether rooted in fact or fantasy, these tales remind us of the fragility of progress, the allure of the unknown, and the deep-seated human need to search for meaning in our history.Join us for Hidden Civilizations, a thought-provoking journey into the blurred lines between legend and reality, as we unravel the mysteries of lost worlds and what they say about our own.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unexplained-history--6429156/support.🎧 Unexplained History explores the myths, mysteries, and misunderstood moments that shaped our world.
