In this mind-bending episode of Across the Pond, we dive deep into the rabbit hole with researcher and author Guy Anderson with guest Matt Lim.

They explore the tangled web of lost civilizations, hidden histories, and the strange stories they leave behind. From Richard Shaver’s bizarre accounts of underground worlds and ancient machines, to the enigmatic architecture and alternate timeline theories of Tartaria, we unpack the myths, mysteries, and modern obsessions with rewriting our past. We also touch on Atlantis, the global lore of underground cities, and the increasingly popular idea that we’ve been sold a sanitized version of history. 

Is there a deliberate effort to erase vast chapters of human civilization? Were megalithic empires wiped out in forgotten cataclysms—or are they still influencing us from beneath our feet? And what about Hollywood? From Stargate to Indiana Jones to Back to the Future, Tinseltown seems obsessed with ancient tech, sunken cities, and civilizations more advanced than our own. Are these just fantasy tropes—or carefully planted breadcrumbs pointing to forgotten truths? History meets high strangeness in this conversation that will either open your mind—or make you question reality itself.

Highlights:

• Who was Richard Shaver, and why did his stories captivate and terrify?
• Tartaria/Atlantis/Lumaria: grand delusion or ancient empire?
• Why lost civilizations keep re-emerging in popular thought
• Hollywood’s fascination with hidden pasts: coincidence or controlled narrative?
• The underground war raging as we speak
• How archaeology and conspiracy collide in the internet age
