What is in the Great Beyond? - Graham Hancock | After Skool
Summary
This episode explores the mystery of death and the soul, contrasting scientific materialism with religious beliefs. It features a dialogue from the Katha Upanishad where the youth Nachiketas asks Yama, the god of death, about the afterlife. The discussion introduces a pan-cultural theory linking ancient monuments and myths to a sophisticated "science of immortality." The speaker suggests this knowledge stems from a lost civilization that used precise astronomical observations to understand the soul's eternal nature.
