Across the world, archaeologists have uncovered vast underground cities capable of sustaining thousands of people for long periods of time. These are not simple shelters or temporary hideouts, but complex systems with ventilation, water management, storage, and social infrastructure—built with long-term survival in mind.

In this episode, we explore why ancient societies invested so heavily in building beneath the surface, and why these structures are often treated as anomalies rather than part of a global pattern. Was the threat war, climate instability, repeated environmental crises—or something even more unpredictable?

We examine archaeology’s blind spots, the limits of siloed research, and why “refuge” is an incomplete explanation unless we ask what people were repeatedly seeking refuge from. From climate shocks to rare cosmic events, this episode reframes underground cities as a form of long-term risk management.

This is not an episode with easy answers—but with better questions about resilience, planning, and how civilizations survive uncertainty.

For decades, military and civilian pilots reported encounters they could not explain — and learned quickly that speaking up came at a price. This episode examines what happened to those who challenged the established narrative long before 2017, when the conversation around UAPs suddenly changed.

Focusing on documented cases involving U.S. Navy pilots, this episode explores how professional credibility, career advancement, and institutional culture shaped what pilots were willing to report — and what they chose to keep quiet. Rather than censorship, the system relied on stigma, humor, and silent consequences to discourage discussion.

By tracing pilot testimonies, historical programs like Project Blue Book, and the sudden shift in official language after 2017, this episode reveals how silence can be manufactured without force.

This is not an episode about proving what UAPs are.

It’s about understanding what happens to truth when speaking is risky — and why the absence of reports is not evidence that nothing was there.

We often hear the same argument whenever secret government projects are discussed:

“Something that big couldn’t be kept secret. Too many people would have known.”

History tells a very different story.

In this episode, we examine the Manhattan Project — the largest scientific and military effort of World War II — a project involving more than 130,000 people, multiple secret cities, and technology that changed the world forever. And yet, it remained hidden from the public until the moment it was completed.

From the atomic bomb to stealth aircraft, mind-control experiments, mass surveillance, and Area 51, this episode follows a clear pattern: massive projects, thousands of participants, strict information control — and years, sometimes decades, of silence.

This is not speculation. It’s documented history.

Episode 4 explores how secrecy actually works, why large organizations can stay quiet, and why the absence of leaks is not proof that nothing exists.

If you believe “someone would have talked,” this episode challenges that assumption.

Science is supposed to advance through doubt, testing, and falsification — but does it still work that way in practice? In this episode, we examine why many modern scientific claims can no longer be independently tested outside institutional frameworks.

We explore the role of falsification in the philosophy of science, the replication crisis, closed datasets, proprietary models, and how “scientific consensus” often replaces genuine testability. When data and methods are inaccessible, science becomes something to accept rather than examine.

This episode is not anti-science. It’s a defense of the original scientific method. Because when claims cannot be challenged, science risks becoming belief enforced by authority.

At its core, this episode asks a simple but uncomfortable question: what happens to truth when verification is no longer possible?

This episode moves beyond a single mystery and into a larger question: who controls knowledge in modern society?

Using the Black Knight case as a starting point, we examine how institutional science, government agencies, and classification shape what the public is allowed to know — and what remains hidden. We look at documented U.S. examples where official denials later gave way to confirmed programs, and ask what that history does to public trust.

The episode draws a clear line between science as a method and science as an institution, showing how consensus can sometimes function as a tool of authority rather than a marker of truth.

This is an episode about information asymmetry, structural secrecy, and why skepticism is often portrayed as dangerous — even when it’s a rational response to closed systems.

The Black Knight satellite is often dismissed as a conspiracy theory — but what happens when we slow down and examine the case carefully? In this episode, we look at the actual observations, the STS-88 images archived by NASA, and the official explanations that have been offered over the years — without accepting them at face value.

This episode is not about proving the Black Knight is extraterrestrial. It’s about something more fundamental: how explanations are delivered when the public has no access to raw data, and how trust often replaces verification.

We explore early radio anomalies, historical military statements, astronaut observations, and NASA’s debris explanation, while asking a question that rarely gets asked: what should a scientific explanation require before we accept it?

The Black Knight becomes a case study — not of aliens, but of authority, transparency, and the limits placed on public knowledge.

This is my first season produced in English. Season One is available in the original Danish version.

What if the greatest lost civilizations aren’t buried under sand or hidden beneath jungle ruins —

but erased by time, secrecy, and the way knowledge itself is controlled?

The Lost Civilizations is not a show about myths for the sake of myths.

It’s a long-form investigation into what humanity forgets, what institutions obscure, and what questions are quietly declared off-limits.

In our first episodes, we explore the mystery known as the Black Knight satellite — not to prove it’s extraterrestrial, but to expose something more unsettling: how scientific explanations can be delivered without transparency, how authority can replace verification, and how trust is often demanded where evidence is inaccessible.

From classified government programs and institutional science, to anomalies that don’t fit existing models, this series examines the boundary between knowledge and power.

Between science as a method — and science as a tool of governance.

But this podcast goes further.

Lost civilizations are not only ancient cultures.

They are lost ways of knowing.

Lost histories.

Lost questions.

From forgotten technologies and suppressed discoveries, to paradigm shifts that never happened — or happened too late — The Lost Civilizations asks one central question:

What happens to truth when only a few are allowed to see it?
