History Ramble: All That is Lost

from Western Civ · host Adam Walsh

The recent earthquake in Turkey and Syria destroyed a large portion of Gaziantep Castle in Turkey. This site dated back to the Second and Third Century CE to the never-ending wars between the Romans and Parthians. Seeing the footage of the destruction, I was reminded how fragile history can be. We need to work to preserve sites like this so that they are not lost because once they are lost, we cannot get them back.To donate to UNESCO's efforts to preserve sites like this, click HERE.

After being released from Lost Hills Station shortly after midnight, she disappeared. Eleven months later, her naked, skeletal remains were discovered in a canyon some six miles away. For nearly 15 years, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Mitrice’s friends and family, and generations of internet sleuths have tried to crack the case. To this day, her death remains an unsolved mystery. The truth lies in the remote Malibu community where Mitrice was last seen.

Show artwork copyright Francesca Gab Explicit The Melt Podcast Chris Snipes The Melt is a podcast that incapsulates all of the experiences that fall outside of the spectrum of consensus reality. Whether these be drug experiences, paranormal experiences, or religious experiences. The Melt values the lost importance of first hand experience. Not everything can be quantified, measured, or repeated in a laboratory. Some things only happen in a spontaneous and immediate fashion and are not subject to repetition on demand. There is a vast expanse of phenomena that Western society and it’s institutions don’t see as valuable or worthy of exploration. The Melt does. The Melt wants to hear your stories and wants to tell your stories. The Melt seeks to not only be a place within which to do that but also where we will talk to other experiencers, people who study these experiences, and people write about these experiences.
