About this listen

The unthinkable has happened. The federal Department of Education has been eliminated, and Cuchu and Matias watch their country implement complete educational apartheid. As corporate-sanitized curricula replace real history and underground networks become students' only hope for truth, they journey back 2,000 years to witness Classical Flourishing—and discover that ancient peoples created urban sophistication that rivals anything in the modern world.

But the Heritage Foundation 2.0 has achieved something terrifying: they're using supernatural power to alter collective memory itself. As reality manipulation threatens to erase historical truth from human consciousness, Cuchu and Matias must master advanced temporal abilities while leading an international resistance that may be humanity's last hope for preserving what we've actually achieved. Three Cities. Three Peaks of Human Achievement.

TEOTIHUACÁN, MEXICO (100 CE): In one of the world's largest cities, they experience multi-ethnic urban planning that housed 100,000 people in apartment complexes with running water, advanced drainage, and beautiful murals. The sophisticated governance system manages cultural diversity through cooperation rather than conquest—everything modern politicians claim is impossible.

HOPEWELL CULTURE, OHIO (100 CE): Ceremonial complexes stretch across the continent, connected by trade networks that move materials from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico to the Rocky Mountains. Matias witnesses economic systems based on reciprocity and spiritual purpose rather than extraction and exploitation—a completely different model of civilization.

POMPEII, ITALY (79 CE): They experience the final day of the multicultural Roman city through the eyes of enslaved peoples, merchants, and workers—not the sanitized version in their banned textbooks. The urban sophistication, technological innovation, and cultural diversity reveal what's always been erased from "classical civilization" narratives.
