ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Thule, the Lost Land at the Edge of the World
More than 2,000 years ago, Greek explorer Pytheas traveled far beyond the familiar world of the Mediterranean and reported a mysterious northern land he called Thule.
Was Thule Iceland, Norway, or somewhere else entirely? Over the centuries, the mystery grew into stories of lost civilizations, ancient secrets, occult ideas, and even alien theories.
But what does the historical evidence actually tell us about the legendary land at the edge of the known world?
Listen to the full episode all the way to the end to uncover the real story behind Thule.
