Tonight, we follow K8538 — a mysterious clay tablet held by the British Museum — and explore the controversial theory that it may contain a record of something moving across the night sky in 3123 BCE. Along the way, we journey through the Sumerian King List, Göbekli Tepe, the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis, the Apkallu, ancient flood traditions and the Epic of Gilgamesh. Settle in, get comfortable, and drift off while we explore one of the ancient world's strangest mysteries.
