Unlocking Hidden Wisdom with Dr. Justin Sledge (Esoterica)

What happens when a scholar of dead languages and Western esotericism builds one of the most respected educational YouTube channels—without the support of academia?

In this episode, Dr. Justin Sledge reveals the story behind Esoterica, his wildly popular YouTube channel focused on ancient mysticism, lost texts, and the occult. We discuss the blurry lines between myth and history, the power of accurate translation, and why some of the most “mysterious” ancient stories are just misunderstood.

You’ll learn:

What the Emerald Tablets really are

How AI helps (and hinders) language translation

Why the Book of Job is the Bible’s most confusing text

How pyramid workers called in sick in ancient Egypt

This is a journey through scholarship, skepticism, and spiritual curiosity—anchored in humor and humanity.
