About this listen

Throughout the millennia of human existence, only a staggering 1.5% of our collective history has been recorded, leaving an overwhelming 98.5% lost to the silence of time. This missing majority encompasses countless untold stories, forgotten civilizations, undiscovered innovations, and unrecorded cultural legacies that could redefine everything we think we know about humanity. What knowledge did ancient peoples possess that we now consider lost? How many breakthroughs, philosophies, and societal models have vanished, leaving only faint echoes in myths and archaeological fragments? The recorded history we rely on today is little more than a narrow window, shaped by the perspectives and priorities of those who documented it. Yet, it begs a fundamental question: what lies beyond that window? Exploring the vast, unseen expanse of human history isn't just an academic curiosity—it is a pursuit to rediscover the full spectrum of what it means to be human.
