This week on Para(normal), we dive into two stories that challenge what we think we know—about history, science, and ourselves.
First: Baalbek, Lebanon.
A site built with stones weighing up to 1,000 tons, placed with impossible precision. No machinery. No explanation. And no clear answer on who actually built it. Was it Roman engineering… a lost civilization… or something else entirely?
Then, we shift to one of the most disturbing experiments ever conducted.
In the 1960s, researcher John C. Lilly attempted to teach a dolphin named Peter to speak English. The experiment escalated into isolation, blurred boundaries, and deeply unethical decisions, including a controversial relationship between human and animal.
Two completely different stories.
One shared question: Are we more advanced than we think… or less in control than we believe?
Follow Para(normal) for more stories that sit right on the edge of science, history and something darker.
