Remember that time in Episode 62 when Wyatt and Jake picked three random creatures apiece to take turns talking about? Yeah, neither do they. So it’s weird artifacts time instead, and not as many of them!

This week, Wyatt’s got a mysterious manuscript and a forgotten language, while Jake describes a weird hammer and struggles to pronounce Aztec names. Presenting the Codex Gigas, the coolest giant old book since the Voynich manuscript, but also older! And don’t get us started on the London Hammer. Is it 100-million-year-old proof of human civilization? 400-million-year-old? And does that make it also proof that the Earth is NOT old? Don’t expect to find any answers on Easter Island, where the potential language Rongorongo remains indecipherable beyond potential 1990s hit song lyrics. Also, terrifying whistles and a cute bird happen.

Don’t cry for me, next-door neighbor — listen to this brand new episode of Superduperstitious!
