S1/E4: A New Lost Civilisation Drops Every Six Months, Like Clockwork

Tartaria is having a moment. If you haven't encountered it yet, the theory holds that a vast global empire was erased from history in the nineteenth century, buried under a worldwide mud flood, and replaced with the one we currently live in. It has millions of believers and zero corroborating documents, which believers will tell you is itself proof of the cover-up. Sigh. Today we're looking at what a real cover-up requires logistically, and why extraordinary civilisations tend to leave extraordinarily ordinary paperwork - in addition to a very compelling Tartaria counter-conspiracy file I will coax from the cloud, live.
