Brian Muraresku / The Immortality Key (2020)
playerOccult & Esoteric
A lawyer dug up chemical evidence that ancient religious rituals were fueled by mind-altering drinks.
Who they are
Brian Muraresku, an attorney and classicist who wrote 'The Immortality Key' (2020).
What they do
The engine treats him as someone who gathered scientific evidence that ancient Mediterranean rituals used psychoactive drinks.
How it works
He compiled chemical residue analysis (from sites like Mas Castellar near Girona) showing traces of psychoactive compounds in ritual beverages, extending an older theory (Wasson-Hofmann-Ruck) with 2020s archaeological findings.
Why it matters
The engine uses his work as supporting evidence for the idea that a drug-based experience sat underneath certain ancient religious and secret traditions.
The engine's record — word for word
