Description

Are history books hiding the truth about humanity's past? In this episode, we explore The Morning of the Magicians (Le Matin des Magiciens) and The Rebellion of the Magicians (La Révolte des Magiciens)—seminal works by Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier that pioneered the genre of "fantastic realism" and challenged conventional narratives of civilization, science, and esoteric knowledge.

Were there pre-flood civilizations? Could alchemy, sacred geometry, or even extraterrestrial contact explain these mysteries? We examine the authors' most provocative theories—and why these mid-20th century masterworks remain disturbingly relevant today.
