The world is full of unsolved mysteries, unexplained events, and an ancient past that still refuses to give up all of its secrets.

SPEAKER_00 1:09

At Inquarium, we take a closer look, examining the evidence, questioning the claims, and exploring the stories that challenge what we think we know.

Hi, I'm Michael Walker. And I'm Stephen Dudley. And together we host Enquarium, a new documentary-style podcast. We explore the mysteries of the world with an open mind, but without losing our footing in reality. Stay tuned until the end of this video for a sneak peek of episode one is telepathy real from ancient Greece to modern science.

Join us on September 8th for our first episode as we explore the history and research behind one of the most discussed and debated solubilities, telepathy.

SPEAKER_01 2:29

What if I told you the ancients were already pondering this exact idea thousands and thousands of years ago?

SPEAKER_00 2:38

That actually does not surprise me at all.

SPEAKER_01 2:41

Yeah. As people discover more things, they realize the ancients were a lot smarter than we give them credit for and definitely had a strong take and intelligent take on a lot of these things. So long before the word telepathy even existed, ancient thinkers were already wrestling with the possibility that the mind could reach beyond the body. Let's take Plato, for example. Plato believed that the soul wasn't confined to the physical body, that it could access truths beyond what we see, hear, or touch. To him, knowledge didn't just come from senses, it came from something deeper, something shared. And he wasn't alone in that thinking. Other philosophers like Anaxagoras and later thinkers like Stoics proposed that the universe itself was connected through an invisible force, something that linked human mind to the world around it, in what they called pneuma, a kind of breath or life force that flowed through everything, including us.

SPEAKER_00 3:45

It's called Numa. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 3:48

Uh it's spelt P N E U M A NUMA. So that begs the question if all minds are connected through this invisible medium, then the idea that thoughts could travel between people isn't really all that strange. It just means that maybe that's something we have all forgotten how to do.

SPEAKER_00 4:08

Until next time. Stay curious. And question the unknown.
