Ancient myths aren't superstition, they're survival manuals. Geo-mythologist Timothy Burbery has spent his career proving that the stories your civilization dismissed as legend are actually encoded records of real catastrophes, real people, and real miracles.

Timothy Burbery is a Marshall University professor, published author, and the mind behind TED-Ed videos on dragons and mythology with over 2 million views. He’s the man building the bridge between science and the ancient world.

–The tribe that survived a disaster that killed 200,000 people — because they had the right story

–Why the same myths your culture calls superstition have saved entire civilisations from destruction

–What it means to be a scientist who believes in the miraculous, and whether faith and scholarship can coexist

–How dragon myths and ancient legends map onto real-world events

–The one question every Christian must answer: can you believe in Jesus without believing in the Resurrection?
