The Three Brothers was the most coveted jewel of the Renaissance.

The Vikings were once the terror of northern Europe, with a civilization that extended from Russia to Iceland. Among their sagas of warrior gods, berserkers, and conquests, stands out a Viking sorcerer who became a folk hero in his native Iceland. How credible are the tales of Egill Skallagrímsson’s adventures, and is his lost hoard of silver still waiting to be uncovered? —– Music: Daudir by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Music: Efter Storm by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Music: Landskab by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Music: Horsemen Approach by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Music: Wildlands by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Music: The Northern Path by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Music: Hymn to the Gods by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Music: Skaga by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Music: Norther by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

For over 2,000 years, treasure hunters the world over have searched for the legendary gold mines of the Biblical King Solomon. Leads were few and far between, until an adventure novel spawned a renewed interest in the missing mines, with a focus on several possible locations in Ethiopia. Is there any basis to the story at all, or were a series of unrelated treasures merely conflated with the Biblical legend?

ARGHH! Courtney and Max discuss what scares them, their own spooky encounters, as well as curses, curses, and more curses! * Cursed mummies! * Cursed Pompeii * Cursed witch symbols! * And more!

          Because the world isn’t scary enough, Relic celebrates Halloween 2020 with a look into some horror movies that were almost lost, and some influential titles. We’re joined by special guest, Shane Anderson, filmmaker and host of the Mighty Motion Picture Rangers Podcast. We discuss how one of the most influential horror films of all time was almost a lost treasure; the waves and booms of the horror genre; some of our favorite fights; and the difference between American and Australian horror movies. You can check out some of Shane’s work, featured here. MMPR on Spotify

Part 2/2 If Atlantis really existed, then where might it be located today? Separating legend from plausibility, this is the question archaeologists and scientists have asked themselves. Was Atlantis a misidentified civilization destroyed by disaster? Or did the lost empire precede written history? Music by Derek Fiechter and Purple Planet

“In a single day and night of misfortune…the island of Atlantis disappeared into the depths of the sea.” It is perhaps one of the most famous lines of dialogue attributed to a lost treasure, but the stories behind the Lost City of Atlantis are as vast as the ocean where it presumably lies. In celebration of Relic’s 50th episode, Part 1 of 2 in our deep dive into the Antlantean legacy. First, what basis is there to the legend, if any? Music by Derek Fiechter and Purple Planet
