THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
As seen on The Joe Rogan Experience! From the host of Netflix’s Ancient Apocalypse
This program includes a Foreword written and read by Graham Hancock, the New York Times bestselling author of America Before: The Key to Earth's Lost Civilization.
A groundbreaking dive into the role psychedelics have played in the origins of Western civilization, and a real-life quest for the Holy Grail.
The most influential religious historian of the 20th century, Huston Smith, once referred to it as the "best-kept secret" in history. Did the Ancient Greeks use drugs to find God? And did the earliest Christians inherit the same, secret tradition? A profound knowledge of visionary plants, herbs and fungi passed from one generation to the next, ever since the Stone Age?
With an unquenchable thirst for evidence, Muraresku takes the listener on his twelve-year global hunt for proof. He tours the ruins of Greece with its government archaeologists. He gains access to the hidden collections of the Louvre Museum to show the continuity from pagan to Christian wine. He unravels the Ancient Greek of the New Testament with a Catholic priest. He spelunks into the catacombs under the streets of Rome to decipher the lost symbols of Christianity’s oldest monuments. He breaches the secret archives of the Vatican to unearth manuscripts never before translated into English. And with leads from the archaeological chemists at the University of Pennsylvania and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he unveils the first scientific data for the ritual use of psychedelic drugs in classical antiquity.
The Immortality Key reconstructs the suppressed history of women consecrating a forbidden, drugged Eucharist that was later banned by the Church Fathers. Women who were then targeted as witches during the Inquisition, when Europe’s sacred pharmacology largely disappeared. Have the scientists of today resurrected this lost technology? Is Christianity capable of returning to its roots?

Audio issues?
Not sure if it was just me but the audio levels seemed to fluctuate. Story was great but I found the audio distracting!

The book so many have been waiting for.
Ever had the thought that, maybe one day, science and religion would come together to unveil the ultimate truth of reality? Maybe that day is closer than we think.
Brian Muraresku is a highly engaging, entertaining writer, and does a fantastic job reading his own work. His narration is full of humour and authenticity, and his research is incredibly exciting. Finally, all the weird, seemingly disjointed pieces of our human history are starting to make sense again, and there’s nothing like a global conspiracy, cover up and genocide to really spice up a story.
Highly recommend to anyone who’s interested in ancient history, psychedelics, religion, anthropology, mythology, and many other areas of study. Well done, Brian. This is a very important book.

great book
I really enjoyed this book. The content, although very dry at times, always comes back around to a point of curious thought. then mind blowing information presented. if you have the patience, this book is well worth getting through.

Bravo!
An excellent read in his own words by Brian. I especially appreciated his use of the original language translation when describing ingredients, places, symbols. I believe by doing so he removes any personal in terpretations from critics or those who might claim his translations are exaggerations or misleading. I mostly just liked to hear the words as they were written in the original texts.

This book is a must read!!
Want a book that challenges beliefs on just about every level of analysis? This book will do that for you. It is massively making me question my core beliefs. I just have so many wonderful questions after reading this book. At the practical level, the author may have found the crux to a major cultural crisis that the west is facing. I hope this review encourages you to read this book critically.
