While researching a previous episode about internet rabbit holes, I came across one that was some big, so complicated, that the entry soon grew into its very own episode. It's called Forgotten Languages, and at first it seems like it's all about ancient languages. But these turn out to be ciphers which, when decoded, reveal a series of interlocking narratives involving transdimensional beings, UAPs, aliens, secretive cabals working at cross purposes, the odd revelation that all humans are gone by the year 3100, and more.  Like what we do?
