Join us on this week’s episode of The Unsolved Arqiv Mystery’s, where we ask: **have scientists ever seriously studied the afterlife**? From Babylonian ghost tablets to cutting‑edge neuroscience, we dive into **near‑death experiences (NDEs)**, **out‑of‑body phenomena**, and **end‑of‑life visions**.

00:00‑00:55 – A soft, intimate cold‑open from a ghost tour in San Antonio, Texas

01:00‑05:30 – A sweeping **human history of the afterlife**: Babylonian ghosts, Egyptian underworld maps, Greek ferries, Medieval purgatory, Victorian séances, TikTok ghost stories

05:30‑10:30 – Real stories of **terminal lucidity**, hospice visions, and research by Christopher Kerr

10:30‑15:15 – What scientists observed in cardiac arrest survivors: **gamma activity**, life reviews, and possible endogenous DMT bonds to NDEs

15:15‑19:45 – Lab‑induced **out‑of‑body experiences (OBEs)** via VR experiments and brain stimulation

19:45‑24:05 – What major theories of **consciousness (GNWT and IIT)** say in 2025, plus quantum speculation

24:05‑28:20 – Reality check: EMF meters, spirit boxes, infrasound, carbon monoxide as ghost‑hunting equipment debunkers

28:20‑29:50 – Physics meets identity: does **information** truly die—or does **Soft Hair theory** suggest data lingers?

29:50‑32:30 – Where we stand: what science explains, what remains mysterious, and the questions no lab can answer

If you're curious about **near‑death experiences**, **afterlife science**, **brain research and consciousness**, or **whether any part of you can survive death**, this episode brings both data and wonder together.
