This study is built around a piece of hard news. Ammon Hillman reports the 2023 finding from the Spanish island of Menorca, where hair preserved in a Late Bronze Age burial cave tested positive for three alkaloids: ephedrine, atropine, and scopolamine. The plant sources include mandrake, thorn apple, belladonna, henbane, and the opium poppy. Hillman calls the discovery welcome and overdue. His claim, repeated throughout the series, is that the written sources already said this. He points to Homer, just a couple of centuries after the Bronze Age ended, as evidence that the Greeks knew about drug-laced wine and its power to stupefy.
The oldest sources, he argues, describe more than plants. The Orphic Argonautica pictures Medea as the queen who alone could pass the gate of Artemis of the woman, with Scythian women who know the poisons. Hillman reads the fire-eyed dogs that keep the gate as the frenzy of the drug itself. He names the henbane by its Greek word, hyoscyamus (ὑοσκύαμος), and says the specialists the study now wonders about were always on the page: root cutters, midwives, and witch queens.
From the hair dye he moves to red ochre, miltos (μίλτος), the Lemnian earth, and to the rust that grows on wheat, which he says is an old title of Demeter. He suggests a connection to the fungus now linked to modern psychedelic discovery. The episode ends by turning the thirst described in the poison-lore toward the cross. Hillman reads Jesus’ cry of thirst, as the symptom of the dipsas (διψάς), the thirst-bringing serpent, and extends an invitation to keep reading the evidence provided in the texts.

Welcome back to Lady Babylon Wednesday Night Bible Study.
Tonight, we’re going to be looking at Mycenaean drug users.
This is fantastic.
We’re just being bombarded.
We’re being bombarded by all this good evidence, all this hardcore archaeology.
Oh, God, throw some science in there.
Next thing you know, HPLC.
We’re getting the samples tonight.
We’re going to look at a couple of things about Bronze Age drug users.
and we’re going to look at a very frustrated person through time and we’re going to watch
the world develop a sense from that evidence despite his greatest highest loudest voice
we’re going to have a little clip tonight um gorgeous little clip a chance for us to hear
some of the music of zane campbell definitely demon possessed definitely no doubt certifiably
love it and then we’re going to talk about some current some current events in archaeology
and a little bit of pharmacology and we’re going to start off with a little bit of medea
so you can see who she is i hope you were not too disappointed that neil has become a little bit not
feeling so well and won’t be able to make it tonight we thank him for putting out the effort
appreciate that neil hope you hope you feel better so tonight whereas i was thinking about
a conversation between me and neil it’s gonna end up having to be a conversation between me and
an invisible devil so i want to start out with a couple of quotes i’m gonna take you
gonna get in the ship we’re gonna go back in time we’re gonna land somewhere 1200 1100 bc
talking near the end of the bronze age we’re going to talk about one of these drug users
one of these drug users should we hit the first slide with uh i just want to read this to you
this is from the orphic argonautica we start at the end here at one of the gate posts there stood
a statue of the far-seeing queen scattering with her motion the radiance of fire whom the
Colchians propitiate as Artemis of the Gate, resounding with a chase terrible for men to see
and terrible to hear, unless one approaches the sacred rites and purification, the rites kept
hidden by the priestess who was initiated, Medea, unfortunate in marriage. Along with the girls of
Sitta, no mortal, whether native or stranger, entered that way, crossing over that threshold
for the terrible goddess kept them away by all means breathing madness into her fired-eyed dogs
i want you to make sure that you’re getting an impression of um the time remember we’re talking
about priestesses here and we’re talking about a medea who’s who’s the queen right and she is the
one who is exercised in the right. Only she can do it, right? Her Scythian maids are these
exceptionally skilled workers in drugs, Scythian archeresses. Yeah, from across,
from across the way on the Black Sea. And these are very skilled, talented people. I wanted you
to see that. I wanted you to see that she is named as that person. You can’t approach this divinity,
Artemis. You can’t approach her unless you go by the way of the rights. Yeah, by the way of the
rights. Now, I have been screaming at people about drug use in the Bronze Age. And we’ve all been
sitting here for the last four or five months and we have seen that there was drug use yes there was
drug use not just in antiquity classical antiquity but preceding that considerably yeah drug use and
people tend not to pay attention well now they’re paying attention and now we want to know and it’s
funny to watch them you can watch the evolution of the scholars here as they as they go through
the machinations of trying to set their mind outside of the paradigm that they thought was
reality and now they have to go into another so good for them good for them it’s a it’s a great
experience thank you guys for doing those at hplc and whatnot yeah fantastic um second quote by
Medea. I just want you to see, or about Medea, I just want you to see. The dream quickly struck
terrible fear in the heart of the king. He seemed to see on the lovely bosom of the young maiden
Medea, whom he was raising in his halls, a glistening star darting across its heavenly path,
which she, having taken it up on her robe, brought to water of the fair-flowing phasis.
he saw the star seize the maiden and carry her across the black sea this is the vision of ets
and that was more of the orphic argonautica and this vision is preserved in multiple sources
and so we ask ourselves in the first quote from the argonautica who are the dogs
you can’t get in to see the secret unless you get by the dogs but she gives those dogs
maddening poison, right? She gives them maddening poison. Remember that, maddening poison. Remember
that we’re talking about the eoboloi, the hurlers of the poison. This is Artemis eokeaira. This is
Artemis who pours out the poison, who pours out the communion venom. This is her, and you can’t
get there. You can’t even get across the threshold, right? Unless you’ve been through the mystery,
you cannot get there. They call these the Ahidni, the Ahidni, because they are priestesses
who have been using the formula, who have been using the toxins to alter themselves,
right? They’re the Medusae. Now, I wanted you to see a little bit more of Medea and what’s going
on maybe have a little more respect um for the knowledge because now the brides you know the
scholars are always they’re always right there i love it you guys you do a tremendously a
tremendously mediocre and sometimes late job you know and sometimes even damaging by giving us
garbage we don’t want any garbage theories we just want the evidence right and everybody knows the
evidence now says from the hair samples that we’ve got that the bronze age was full of drug use yes
yes that there are drugs in people hallucinogens and not necessarily the hallucinogens that you
want to you know go out and see a concert with right right so yeah this is serious stuff let’s
take a look at it i want before we do i want to watch a little clip just to number one to do two
things number one to remind you that we’ve been talking about these people using drugs for the
last six months and number two to set your mind in that place where you can say okay um how are these
scholars looking at this evidence what are they doing with it yeah love it let’s hit the clip
please what a mess and i guess i gotta blame myself i could blame it on her or on but in the
end i made my own little hell and they wonder what turned to the wine to the wine every time
turn to the wine every time i do to the wine i hope that set the mood a little bit there
because we’re going to be talking about how we got there so this as you know this story is blowing
up right this story is blowing up it’s all everywhere from the new york times um all over
journals let’s splash some of these up here you guys have seen this you guys have seen this here
we go here’s salon bronze age europeans we’re getting high on all kinds of drugs hair analysis
study finds wow that’s fantastic how about another one here’s one from cnn my goodness look at that
that’s central three thousand year old hairs hold the ancient oldest clues about psychoactive drug
use in europe fantastic here’s one from the greek reporter scientists discover evidence of drug use
during bronze age rituals okay it’s getting deeper right we’re getting in there tripping
in the bronze age says the says the new york times right right love it we’re going to look at a
couple of these in depth this one i think is gross i don’t know why but that whatever that is i know
it’s no offense to the bronze age dude or do that who was wearing that but i don’t know it makes my
stomach turn a little bit direct evidence of ancient bronze age drug use found in minorca
right so this is all off that that spanish island fine they’ve got with the hair and what they’re
looking at it and i just wanted you to see a couple of quotes right direct evidence of the
use of multiple drugs in bronze age menorca from human hair analysis beautiful beautiful
archaeology evidence of drug use during bronze age ceremonies bronze age ceremonies they say
right bronze age ceremonies okay let’s keep going here’s a direct quote the findings published
thursday and scientific reports of the journal nature great journal provide the first direct
evidence that ancient europeans consume psychoactive drugs much like their pre-columbian
brethren in mesoamerica the researchers said wait a minute did he say brethren what what was that i
need that quote back we here there we go um yeah brethren okay they weren’t really brothers right
don’t know where you know they’re not even closely related right but okay um who knows that’s a nice
ambiance he’s trying to create there right um yeah this is he says the first direct evidence
that ancient europeans now when he’s saying ancient europeans he’s talking bronze age right
and this is my frustration if the classicists were on the ball and i’ll just throw it out there this
is not the first evidence that we have of ancient drug use several of these articles say that this
we finally have evidence for ancient drug use take a step back point dexter put down that slide rule
put it down put it down the words that you’re using to describe all of these drugs um they’re
already talking about in detail and we’ll see this is the all right apparently this amazed what here’s
a problem classists don’t like to go there because classes and you can ask me to ask them all ask
bart ehrman right um uh because people watch him here not because he’s a classes he’s not a classes
but um you know ask carl rock right um this is uh this stuff has been sitting in this literature
for a ton of time and nobody reads it thousands of pages on drugs i can even tell you what was
on that hair yeah i’m going to show you you’re going to the benefit of coming tonight was that
you get to be one step ahead of the rest of the world one step just one let’s do it let’s do it
yeah here’s the main doc who’s ahead of it right guerra dos i’m not quite sure i’m sorry
alissa if i’ve mispronounced your name the lead author of the study said researchers were stunned
by the results now wait a minute nobody’s done guys just wait especially because the cave
interiors yielded no technical signs of drugs presence myself okay well they didn’t they had
it in their hair but not in their pockets okay fine a chemical analysis of the hair revealed
evidence of three alkaloid substances what are those alkaloids those are those nitrogenous
um substances that have some kind of physiological activity yeah human body they can be antifungal
they can be painkillers you know you know um you’re not going to get to chase the dragon
without um alkaloids right alkaloids nice family of chemicals yeah known to produce altered states
of consciousness what they find ephedrine atropine and scopolamine and for those of
you who are you know just somewhere on the periphery of neuroscience mate you might be a
neuroscientist or you might be some molecular biologist you know maybe chemist um maybe an
engineer right and you might be familiar with some of this terminology uh you know that these
substances are not these are not um lightweights right atropine scopolamine that will put you into
a vision state that the magi used to torture people to get information out of them right
yeah that’s what these people had in their hair that’s what they had in their hair and they say
we’re stymied we’re surprised at this i don’t know why they’re surprised um yeah especially
when the especially when the greeks are documenting all of this and you say to yourself
oh give us the evidence we’re hungry i want that evidence i want your evidence give me that
evidence i’ll give you my evidence just all you gotta do is go back to homer i was talking with
i was talking with neil today and neil said he interviewed a phd and a phd got his phd in new
testament studies right and then he went back and got a master’s degree in classics and he said he
didn’t realize how full of nothing was the was the bible studies degree isn’t that funny because he
went back and got a classics degree it brought him up to the evidence and i know you’re hungry
for that my audience is hungry for that evidence give me i want that evidence i got homer let’s
call up homer right and you’re saying wait a minute wait a minute okay where are we don’t worry
It’s 9th, 8th century, right?
B.C., 9th or 8th century.
Yeah.
We’re only a couple of centuries away from that ending of that Bronze Age.
We’re talking about the same generations.
Homer is hearkening back to this Bronze Age.
Oh, and he is saying in it, they’re on drugs.
What do you mean this is the first evidence we’ve ever had?
what are you talking about go to the text oh my god you can’t have a party in the in the bronze
age without getting there on drugs and that’s what the scholars are so worried about they’re
trying to make sure i’m going to show you these quotes they want you to know they want you to
know this is not for fun this is not for fun no take you out back i got a place for you i’m like
come on let’s go it’s okay services are over all right come on come on we gotta take off the
uniforms anyway you know what i mean they want to take you out back right homer is talking about
the drugs right you have a giant party where you have people over you you douse them in drugs
wine uh drug laced wine that that gets them so bent that he says you could kill their mother
or father in front of them, and they wouldn’t care. Now, Vice News, thanks for the bit on the
scorpion smoking. Get out there and look at that if you guys haven’t seen that. The place that
takes you, right, is a place that they’re going backwards, back and forth to, right, to enter
these these um places where you can interact with the powers that be real sorcery real sorcery yeah
i love it let’s keep going i gotta which one of mine chewy this one okay the author suggests
that in the presence of these alkaloids may have been due to consumption of some nightshade plants
such as mandrake okay now look i want you to notice as we’re reading these these are all
all these are all of the suspects the usual suspects right you could look in any um inquisition
documentation at all you can look up any inquisition documentation you watch the trials
um you can see what kind of testimony you get out of them this is the thing they’re always these are
the drugs the standard list of drugs they are always catching the witches with always catching
them with. What do we get here? Mandrake, right? They also use mandrake, by the way, in surgery
in antiquity. Yeah, cool, huh? Henbane, right? Hyasciamus. That’s what they call in Greek. That’s
a Greek name. Hey, for all you people who are surprised, all of you scholars, I know, I give
you credit. You guys are out there digging in the dirt, and you’re getting the evidence. Who are,
right? I love that. But look here. The Greek name for the drug you found, right, is sitting right in
front of our faces. Hyoscyamus, right? That’s all you got to know. Did they know about these drugs?
Yeah. Did they use them? Of course they did. And they wrote a ton about using them that nobody,
shame on the classics out there. One more time, as a Ronin, I want to say this. Today is my last.
I want the world to know that the people in classics have let you down, that they are dogs,
that they are not the guardians of those sacred words that they have lost their right to call
themselves defenders of the muse shame on you people there’s literally thousands of this stuff
that remains untranslated because like my dissertation like my the head of my department
told me when i was giving my dissertation she said the romans they just wouldn’t do such a thing
i was like are we talking about the same people are we talking about the same people have you
seen what the romans do yeah okay let’s keep going because i want to get to jesus i want to get to
stabbing jesus we’re going to get there this one yeah here we go uh hang on normally this one hen
bane and thorn apple right what else joint pine the author suggests that these drug plants may
have been used as part of ritual ceremonies performed by a shaman right notice they all
run to that right now now we’re getting outside the evidence right and what do they use for
evidence the concentric circles and the wooden containers may have depicted eyes okay personally
people that’s it in my scientific opinion having worked in the lab myself uh that doesn’t hold up
come on guys you can do that that’s the best you scholars can do i’m sure there are people right
now who are writing a book probably for rutledge and i’ll bet you can look at all these pots and
they’ll say this is the psychedelic experience no you can’t make conclusions like that then it’s not
how you use evidence i wouldn’t hold up in a court you think they would convict someone on a murder
charge based on the the big googly eyes and the pots yeah you people grow up why don’t you just
read your text why don’t you just read what the people that came after them said to do with the
drugs i don’t know maybe that’s an idea helen is putting drugs in the wine cersei is drugging men
she’s got the dildo rod she is drugging men man this is an operation this is big stuff
these are crazy poisons right love it this stuff will get you going and people are shocked
oh we found hair we found bronze age hair and in this hair we found drugs do you know how
frustrated it is step back for a minute step back for a minute you know i have been shouting
to the world right i’ve been shouting the word carl rock has been shouting to the world his
whole career right and people look at you funny now you’ve got hair you morons now you’ve got
hair and now you see it’s there yeah finally you don’t deserve it you don’t deserve to know what
the caesars were doing you don’t deserve in the cult you despicable athenian women weren’t staying
indoors all the time shame on you shame on you you pretend to write a book disgusting open up
the pharmaceutical stuff let’s see where it goes you’ll have to forgive me i have a clear distaste
for academia but um i was known for that as a graduate student too and i would always bring
the they were like oh hillman’s here he’s gonna bring up something that nobody knows
read the text people it’s all there let’s keep going this is exciting the researchers noted
that due the dangerous nature of the alkaloids found in the hair using and handling these
substances requires specialized knowledge and expertise what a bunch of geniuses you guys are
yeah congratulations congratulations if you read the documents they talk about what specialists
you have to have just to procure these drugs much less to make the compounds and what to do with
them yeah some of this stuff is great this is a you know and remember bronze age is the glory time
that’s when these big cities are getting built that’s when what you and i call civilization
that’s when it’s thriving it’s only afterwards with the dark age they don’t know what happened
that’s an island blew up and people invaded and uh you know famine and all that kind of stuff
they don’t know what caused that but we went backwards we know that the people that were
associated just think on this for a minute the people that were associated with the advancements
were the ones who were actively performing the mystery whereby they were exposed to the drugs
yeah love it let’s go on next quote where are we jew get us here good drug use among humans
is a practice known to be thousands of years old based on clues that were previously uncovered in
eurasia and the americas but in europe the presence of mind-altering plants at prehistoric
science offered archaeologists an incomplete picture until now they lacked evidence that
people in ancient communities ingested the plants oh by the way it didn’t ingest them all right
there’s a lot of where they eat this stuff media invented the vapor bath they call it the vapor
bath and you ask yourself what’s a what’s a vapor bath remember she’s surrounded by civilian um
women, and these women bathed themselves, as our text tells us, Herodotus, with the fumigation,
and they have like oils they put on their skin made out of woods, very nice, great descriptions
of this stuff, beautiful, beautiful, so there’s some real, real chemistry right there from the
beginning with all of this, bring that up again, yeah, but with these new findings, we’re presenting
the earliest evidence of drug consumption right so medea invents the um vapor bath which you would
think is like a steam bath but it’s just the exposure to the smoke of something yeah isn’t
that neat you can it’s like a fumigation that later is called a fumigation right yeah nice and
so apparently she’s the one who invented this we have um that attributed to her isn’t that nice so
you can enter when you enter into the tabernacle i had one person tell me this week stop my my
worldview shatters and i can’t i don’t want to keep going down this path right when you got that
person who steps into the tent the curtains that hold in all that vapor and they’re talking to god
right this is pre-moses right we’re talking moses is coming from these traditions they’re talking
about my son and stuff they’re talking about 1600 moses was later right that’s why he’s
thrown around his serpent right people think of charlton heston and that people watched easter
and they saw the guy with the big beard and hold him up yeah they don’t realize that um that dude
was throwing snakes around right he’s performing magic bro yeah doing he built a tent and you can
go inside that tent and you can talk to god you will hear the voice of god don’t worry we’re gonna
tie a rope to your leg because if you pass out we’ll drag you out right that’s vapor dude this
is bronze age technology that they’re let’s go to the next quote that they’re harnessing here
um these findings are so singular said the doc in charge right um sometimes when people think
about drugs they think it’s a modern practice these results tell us a different story there’s
also those of us who when they hear about drugs know it’s a modern practice know it’s an ancient
practice as well as a modern one so it doesn’t bother us uh we wouldn’t be surprised according
to the study the flora native to menorca includes the psychoactive species detura hyoscyamus and
mandragora right which contain the tropane derivatives atropine and scopolamine also on
the island is ephedra which contains the phenylethylamine derivative ephedrine and
pop of air somniferum yay for the opium that’s the opium this is quite a cocktail we’re ending
up with here isn’t it this is wonderful um which has its own alkaloids right more morphine which
we all know right everybody big hand for morphine uh long long long long history yeah it turns out
your ancestors were shipping opium all over the world long time ago way before they invented
democracy way before they did you know killing pain is killing pain bro the bronze age populations
of minorca may have employed drug plants for their medicinal properties thanks genius however the
The high levels of toxicity found in the hair samples suggest that plant drugs were also used for the hallucinogenic properties in shamanic ceremonies, right?
So, in shamanic ceremonies, guess, guess, guess.
Was that written in the cave?
That wasn’t written in the cave.
All you found is some people with drugs.
Considering the potential toxicity of the alcohol that’s found in the hair, their handling, use, and applications represent highly specialized knowledge, the authors report.
yeah i wonder where they pass that on to yeah going back to the shamans what is wrong with
you people don’t you know that when people think of shaman do you know what they think of
yeah they don’t think of the queen of colchis who created the meads right they don’t know
they don’t shaman she wasn’t a shaman she was a witch queen moron who knew the mystery yeah
who dispensed the poison of the echidna love it from her dark harbor you get that one you
classicist that fracture your brain dark harbor is your vagina when it’s covered with the burning
purple yeah yeah did we get censored on that or something hang on should we just hit an asteroid
or something what was that wow okay i gotta oh are we we’re overheating hang on it’s too much
i start talking about yeah about the um pudenda we’ll say it politely and scientifically pudenda
the pudenda phoenician the purple harbor that’s where all sailors go the ones who sail into the
ion that’s where they go okay let’s keep going these people are getting creepy plants like
henbane and belladonna produce atropine and scopolamine but the plant that these bronze
age people were most likely eating was thorn apple also known as jimson weed it has distinct spiky
seed pods and muted lavender flowers okay not nice but what does it do look reportedly
some potent often nightmarish trips that’s where you want to get when you get here some of these
reports talk about you know what’s the use of these it’s got to be sacred one of the authors
said it’s not the profane it’s the sacred right and you’re asking yourself why are they so why
are they so crazy about the fact that this can’t be um some people in the bronze age kicking back
and getting recreationally super high going to a religious performance that their family goes to
that their grandparents have been to you know that’s why the people wear the dye in their hair
man it’s just part of the society right it’s part of the our medicine so what is wrong with you
people what is wrong the modern iron age poop where’s the next one right here here we go i got
alarm going off chew you better find out what that is the recovery of human hair in the late
bronze age burial cave uh provides a unique opportunity to further probe into the medicinal
and ritual realm of indigenous inhabitants of western mediterranean it’s already 3 000 years ago
the results finish direct evidence yeah furnish direct evidence of the consumption of plant
okay okay so yeah we know that they took drugs now um here we’re gonna skip over that and we’re
going to go to recent analysis of hair watch this there’s one really good scientific article on this
one right um in nature and it’s a fantastic it’s a fantastic article and it goes over methods right
analysis you can get all the chemistry for those of you geeks who were hplc
people and know what that means um you know mass spectrometers spectrometers and all that kind of
of stuff, equipment that we need, if that stuff turns you on, then take a look at the one in
nature. But here’s a funny reference to that. Recent analysis of hair of patients suffering
from Datura poisoning revealed atropine and scopolamine in a patient who admitted regular
consumption of detour and only scopolamine in a regular cannabis abuser a regular a regular
is this thing scientific do you people see what happens as soon as you get into this world of the
recreation as soon as you get into this world of the high all of a sudden it’s not acceptable
right the cannabis abuser how many people you can’t abuse cannabis that scientist needs to
find out that you can’t abuse cannabis you can’t you you learn to you you learn to make love not
war right right they should have said the lover of cannabis in that article we found this lover
of cannabis and he had the what’s the point point dexter the point is that he had the the scopolamine
and atropine right or he didn’t have the atrium but he did have the scopolamine so these chemicals
are being liberated and used that’s what the point is fantastic and they are terrible hallucinogens
you can put somebody into a state of complete total psychosis and now you understand why we’ve
been talking about all these caves all these caves devils give me a little bit more time tonight
right um these caves and why they’re going into the caves right it’s where they found this stuff
is in a cave all right so there’s got to be some that’s why they try to bring in the bring in the
shaman just dirty he probably smells bad i bet that shaman’s underwear are dirty how much you
want to bet um this one fantastic but the dire oh yeah this is i want to read you i wanted to get
into a little bit of uh a little bit of um we’re talking now about bronze age drugs right one of
the areas that people don’t talk about are the venoms they come up all the time on the witch side
they come up on the midwifery side they come up on the oracular side you got oracular priests
who were writing about oh god this is great combination of x y and z and you put this in
bam right this stuff is great literature there’s more on theriacs as a matter of fact i’m gonna
scare you a little bit i hope i do um i was reading just this week in a place that hasn’t
been translated from galen he’s writing about theriacs and he says there is a theriac that is
peculiar or particular to the house of the caesars yeah it is their family mystery communion
yeah do you know who julius caesar put a portrait of in the temple of venus genetrix and for those
of you who are not in the know with rome i’m sorry i don’t mean to point that’s rude but for those of
you who are not in the know with rome venus genetrix is our mother excuse me while i put my
bracelet on venus genetrix is our mother right if you’re a roman you know you’re a descendant
of venus genetrix who does julius caesar get a portrait of and set it up in the temple of
venus genetrix he gets a portrait of medea he gets a portrait of medea because the echidna i know
yeah i’ve seen things i’ve seen things and i keep screaming about them i don’t scream about them i
just i just wrote papers and went to conferences and wrote a book a couple of books um and now
people are saying that the stuff is there let’s take the next step I was
going to show you some text but I think we’ve gone beyond let us be satisfied in
this in this world where the drugs are used in medicine and in health and are a
a big part of the development of the religious attitude of the people you know these drugs have
tremendous tremendous influence on society and the mystery as started by and perpetuated
through the kalkians eventually all the way through the etruscans right how do we know
how do we know this is what they’re going to be finding out in the future right i told you
i would do this okay so they talk about the hair dye we’ve got this red hair dye right yeah here
we go here we go this is the ferric oxide right ferric oxide and where do you find this stuff
you find this stuff in the limnian earth you find it and what they called limnian earth galen went
to lemnos to find this stuff because he claimed that it could heal breast tumors in women now he
said other things about it but that was one of the things that caught me as a grad student i was like
what yeah and he would it’s something special i gave a paper on this and people speculated about
what it could have been in the lemnian earth well this stuff is also um a base for a dye right it’s
a base for a coloring agent you can make paint with it right and um what they would do is they
would put it for example today i was reading a priest named nikander who said look you know if
you’re out and you get bit and you don’t have your coating on um it’s your fault right your dermal
coating um there are paints that you can put on that will deactivate poisons very practical if
you think about it yeah you can see you can see people developing that that makes perfect sense
just like that stuff the medusa the temple guardians put in their hair right that they
drag their arrows across and then their arrows are poisonous same kind of approach to very
naturalistic approach it’s why the world monotheism um when it encounters that world
is on shaky ground it’s not flexible enough to absorb that that nature that pure exercise of
nature right stop what you’re doing and that’s where we get the frankenstein well it turns out
that this um substance right i’m going to pull up this in greek for you is called miltos miltos
red earth right red ochre i guess on the brit sign they call it rattle rattle right it’s this red lead
of this oxide right and notice that it’s from lemnia look at number roman numeral number two
here in this victorian classical philology paradise island elusibe elusibe what is elusibe

people see it right and maybe there’s something there maybe there’s something there about our
exposure over time um we might it they may have been right we may be part of the generation
that would decline there may be something about these substances that will cause you to
make more connections in your brain right that will cause you to um not have so many
inflammatory problems right there’s this potential here is amazing potential is amazing not to

And we’re going to be uncomfortable doing it in the process.

And hail Satan.
