The guys also share their usual dose of funny anecdotes and 'odd news' this week, including an update or two from the world of sports. How did a 20th century British woman's reincarnation conviction lead to breakthroughs in our understanding of Ancient Egypt? Does our understanding of 'time' differ from that of the spiritual realm? Are 'out-of-body' experiences more accepted fact than fiction? Did a current Major League Baseball player recently recreate Jose Canseco's infamous outfield blunder?

  Ep. 170: Mysterious Civilizations, Foreign Agent Mayors, and Chernobyl Dogs

  May 30, 20261h 12m

  History is filled with questions and mysteries, and even some of the grandest and most influential civilizations of the ancient world leave behind many more questions than answers. On the latest episode of 4Thirty, Ben and Pat travel back in time once again, this time in search of some of the less-understood peoples to rise and fall in antiquity, from disruptive military powers, to speculative groups only ever referenced to by texts left behind by ancient contemporaries. The guys also handle their regular dose of current events this week, including a follow-up from Belgium's competitive seagull screeching scene, an update on the latest news in Sumo, and yet another feat accomplished by everyone's favorite record breaker. Could the region once home to an ancient Arabian civilization known only to the Sumerians have served as the geographical home of the biblical Garden of Eden? Could a mysterious, island-dwelling, Mediterranean culture really be Plato's 'Atlantis'? Did the Aztecs trace their own history directly back to a group more mysterious than any in the New World? Does radioactivity alter the DNA of living creatures? For answers to these questions and a plethora more, please give the latest episode of 4Thirty in the Morning a listen!

  Apr 22, 20261h 8m

  The guys have covered plenty of insane archaeological discoveries and historical artifacts throughout the podcast. While many have been lost to history, are some incredible items still on display today? On the latest episode of 4Thirty, Ben and Pat take a trip to the museum as they curate a discussion on some bewildering collections and display-pieces that even the most ardent docent can't fully describe. The guys also recycle a few old stories this week, revisit a few other topics, and, as always, share plenty of news that listeners might not find anywhere else. Is an ancient frozen mummy the key to understanding humanity millennia ago? Is there a museum in Britain that boasts artifacts so significant to human history that conspiracy theories have emerged? Would you visit a museum dedicated to 'umbrella covers'? Is an old golf tradition becoming a liability to society?

  Ep. 167: Ancient Technology, Cave Paintings, and Billy Idol

  Mar 17, 202659 min

  Nothing tells the story of the development of human civilization quite as well as the technological advancements that coincide with a great power's rise. But did some ancient groups utilize technology beyond anything we can replicate even today? On the latest episode of 4Thirty, Ben and Pat take a walk back in time once again as they look to unlock the secrets behind ancient technology, from tools, to weapons, to building materials and more. The guys also enlighten listeners on some news stories this week and reminisce on a few past episodes, all while meandering in and out of relevant conversation as only they can do. Did the Ancient Romans boast a concrete mixture stronger than what modern day's sturdiest structures boast? Did the invention of a simple prehistoric tool eventually give humans the edge against the wild beasts roaming the earth before the Ice Age? Is a well-known ancient megalithic structure really the most accurate star map ever created? Who won the latest election for Supreme Leader of North Korea? For answers to these questions and too many more, give our latest episode of 4Thirty in the Morning a listen!
