About this episode

The episode discusses a FOIA log entry related to Gilgamesh and its implications on government secrecy and ancient discoveries.

A FOIA log entry referencing Gilgamesh, a “resurrection chamber,” the beings known as the biblical Nephilim, as well as other unusual phrasing has been circulating online, quickly taking on a life of its own. Shared across forums and social media, the document is being presented as evidence of hidden discoveries tied to ancient Mesopotamia, government secrecy, and unexplained activity connected to Iraq. At the center of the discussion is a single administrative record from the U.S. Department of State FOIA system. The entry contains language that has been interpreted in a wide range of ways, from archaeological implications to theories involving lost ancient technology. As it spreads, it has been pulled into broader narratives involving historical myths, modern geopolitics, and speculative claims about what may or may not have been recovered or investigated. ----------------- Head to asylum817.com - the official website of the host and visual artist, Billie Dean Shoemate III ----------------- This podcast can also be heard on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeart Radio, Pandora, and wherever you get your Podcast listening experience. ----------------- Want to advertise on the show?
