Ep 212 - Steve Falconer | History Busting
Sunday Nov 10, 2024
Sunday Nov 10, 2024
In this episode, we delve into an intriguing alternative history narrative that suggests the events of the Old Testament may have actually taken place, not in the Middle East, but within the landscapes of ancient England. Steve explores how familiar biblical names, places, and historical references might still be traced within English locations, challenging the traditional understanding of biblical geography. This provocative discussion touches on how historical narratives shape our worldviews and probes the power dynamics behind accepted history. Listeners are invited to reconsider long-standing beliefs and examine the foundations upon which historical knowledge is built, offering a fresh lens on ancient texts, archaeology, and the stories we’ve inherited.
Alongside this deep dive into alternative history, we navigate a range of contemporary topics, from the evolution of media consumption and COVID-19 skepticism to reflections on online debates and community building. We examine how shifting perspectives on these issues reveal a societal divide between mainstream acceptance and the emergence of breakaway communities grounded in independent thought. The episode underscores the importance of curiosity, humor, and critical thinking as tools to counter dominant narratives and foster a resilient, open-minded community.
