The Co-Conspirators Podcast

Check out our website! https://thecoconspiratorspodcast.word...​ Who turned the lights out!? The Co-Conspirators Podcast time machine has broken down once again, this time finding ourselves in the early medieval period... This part of history was commonly known as the Dark Ages, which saw Europe plunged into a period of barbaric warfare, with very little in the way of historic significance when compared to the bygone ages of Greek and Roman civilisation. While this might be a slightly shorter episode than usual, with just the two theories to delve into, but there's still a wealth of interesting discoveries and random tangents to discover. Calum offers up the first mystery, exploring one of the greatest myths to have ever emerged from England's brave shores... The legend of King Arthur Pendragon. Was there a real life hero who inspired this epic tale, or was it the case of historians playing fast and loose with the truth? Up next, Luke's theory threatens the balance of our entire historic understanding as we know it... Did the dark ages actually exist? Or should 300 years be erased from the calendars and history books, meaning that we're still in the 18th century? Join Calum, Luke and John as we break down some of the most interesting conspiracy theories that the world has to offer, covering everything from the most historic plots to the most cutting-edge psy-ops and even ancient mysteries. We aim to offer an informal yet informative insight into some of the explanations and suggestions that the internet has to offer, discussing the factual and the far fetched, in a light-hearted conversation between three close mates. With theories ranging from the plausible to the preposterous, can we be certain that anything is 100% true?

Check out our new website! https://thecoconspiratorspodcast.wordpress.com/ Another episode, another stop on our adventure through the history books. This time, our destination is one of the most defining eras of our ancient history: The Roman Empire. Just like the Ancient Greeks before them, the Romans were pioneers in many walks of life, especially engineering and architecture, while also conquering large swathes of Europe with their advancements in military strategy. Roman historians are also acclaimed for their dedication to preserving records of key events, albeit with heavy bias towards their own accomplishments, meaning that Ancient Rome is a civilisation we have been able to learn a lot about. Regardless, there are still some mysteries that have managed to slip through the cracks, evading the historians and forming the backbone of this podcast. Our first theory sees Calum investigating the infamous Roman Emperor Nero. Famed for his cruel and merciless reign, did he set Rome alight so he could rebuild the city to suit his own tastes? Up next, Luke crosses Hadrian' Wall to visit Scotland, the last confirmed position of the famous 9th Legion of the Roman Army. Were British Barbarians responsible for inflicting such a crushing defeat on this, Rome's most elite fighting unit, that they were never heard from again? On the topic of warfare, John uncovers one of the more surprising advancement in military tactics to have come out of this era. How did Roman soldiers find themselves facing a possible chemical weapon attack? Join Calum, Luke and John as we break down some of the most interesting conspiracy theories that the world has to offer, covering everything from the most historic plots to the most cutting-edge psy-ops and even ancient mysteries.

Marking our 25th episode, it's time for another installment of the Co-Conspirators Podcast's trip through the ages. Last time out, we visited ancient Egypt, so now its time for a quick trip over the Mediterranean Sea to explore ancient Greece. Famed for their advancements in almost all walks of life, from arts and philosophy to science and warfare, they are widely accepted as one of the most forward thinking civilisations in history, and could be thanked for the first steps towards the modern democracy we enjoy today. Join us for a very tangential trip through this revolutionary period in human history, one that gave us hours of fun with Pythagoras's mathematical discoveries! In this episode, Luke dusts off his old poetry textbooks, examining the author credited for two of the greatest works of literature ever written: The Illyad and the Odyssey. Was legendary Greek poet Homer really responsible for these timeless epics, or is the real answer more complicated? On the subject of poets, Calum investigates a secret society that has hosted nearly every famous name to have risen to prominence in ancient Greece. Based on the myth of Demeter and Persephone, what went on during the enlightening rituals of the Eleusinian Mysteries? Finally, John does some excavating in an attempt to locate the famous labyrinth that housed the minotaur. A terrifying mythical creature, half-man and half-bull, is there any evidence to suggest that there was real architecture that inspired the myth, or perhaps the other way round? Join Calum, Luke and John as we break down some of the most interesting conspiracy theories that the world has to offer, covering everything from the most historic plots to the most cutting-edge psy-ops and even ancient mysteries.

We welcome you all to another episode of the Co-Conspirators podcast. Following our last instalment investigating some of the most famous lost civilisations, our time travel machine has malfunctioned, trapping us in yet another ancient realm. This time our travels take us to ancient Egypt, home to the great pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, mummified pharaohs and enough mystery to fill several burial chambers. In this episode, Calum attempts to answer the age-old question; how were the ancient Egyptians able to build the great pyramids of Giza, and what was their astronomical relevance? Could it be aliens? More monument mystery follows, as John digs deeper into the origins of the Sphinx. How long ago was it really built, and were ancient humans much more advanced than history would tell us. Finally, Luke presents a fascinating theory that could rewrite the history books and change our perspective on ancient human exploration. But how does this link cocaine, mummified pharaohs and Christopher Columbus?
