In this episode we explore old tales of travels to other realms. Keith talks about select stories from Claude Lecouteux's book "Travels to the Otherworld and Fantastic Other Realms: Medieval Journeys into the Beyond", and Juliana continues the theme with tales of travels to Fairyland from the British Isles. A prince is gone for 300 years after venturing into a magical realm, a group of knights return with old rags after an encounter with the devil, midwives are kidnapped to deliver fairy babies and blinded in one eye for their trouble, and a 12-th century monk documents the finding of two green-tinged children on a knight's estate. All these and more will be discussed in today's episode, as well as replies to some feedback from the previous episode.

In this episode of Uncharted Lore, we talk about the book Missing Lands by Freddy Silva, a thought-provoking exploration of myths common to many ancient civilizations, such as the story of a great flood and how select individuals, forewarned by deities, either built a vessel or took refuge in higher grounds and therefore were able to escape the destruction. Along the way, Keith and Juliana take critical shots at the book's credibility, while also exploring the fascinating community of believers who follow and support these theories, and touch on reports of remains of giants that were unearthed and apparently subsequently destroyed. Join them for a skeptical yet open-minded journey into the mysteries of our forgotten past.
