About this listen
This isn’t your usual history class—this is the thrilling origin story of how humans first hacked memory.
From scribes in ancient cities pressing symbols into clay, to Egyptian priests carving spells into stone, to mysterious scripts no one can read even today, this story takes you across continents and centuries.
You’ll meet forgotten geniuses, decode secret messages, and discover that before TikToks and texts, knowledge was passed down by firelight, by drumbeats, and sometimes, by sheer memory. Ready to find out how the world learned to write—and why some never needed to?
Dive in.
