The Biohazard Conspiracy of the Classic of Mountains and Seas

from Matter of Fact: A play on "matter" (physics) and "facts" (news). · host Larry White

The Shan Hai Jing is interpreted by some as a record of a hidden "biochemical crisis" involving the murder of the god Yayu and failed resurrection experiments conducted by a shamanic group potentially linked to the Yellow Emperor. Archaeological findings, such as those from the Nanyue King's tomb in Guangzhou, suggest that the text's legends of "Winged People" and "Immortal People" may actually describe an ancient maritime trade network connecting the Baiyue people to Africa and the Middle East. Furthermore, alternative theories propose that the book documents Earth's geography from 65 million years ago, portraying figures like Yu the Great as extraterrestrials who used advanced technology to reshape the continents and cause the extinction of dinosaurs.
