This is the sound of a grade 8's harpist, who also has time to run their own bakery.

The mornings were giants, they were cyclops, fairies, gnomes, like the whole gamut of mythical

creatures can be found there.

Justin McHenry is a historian and researcher who studies centuries-old documents while

working at the American Public University System as an archivist, those unsung heroes protecting

our living past.

As he developed a very personal relationship to the stories held within these documents,

he began the project of writing comprehensive histories, including his forthcoming book,

Lemoria, a true story of a fake place.

For this episode, Justin tells me a story that I haven't heard before, an expansive tale

of an apparent long-lost continent, first written about in scientific works, then harnessed

by esoteric concentrics and new age mystics, and then mutating over the decades into

a fantastical fuel that is embedded in the strangest of conspiracy theories and cults

to this very day.

I'm your host, Chelsea Weber-Smith, and this is American hysteria.

Hi Justin, I'm so happy that you reached out to the show and that you're here to tell

me about something that I know almost nothing about, which is definitely a place I like

to be, so I'm ready to be shocked and awed and surprised.

So thank you so much for joining us today.
