Modern humans have existed for 290,000 years. Civilization? Only 12,000. What were we doing for the other 278,000?
Every piece of evidence on the Investigation Wall supports or challenges one of four competing theories about humanity’s 290,000-year silence. Pin your evidence. Follow the red string. Find the truth.
“Humanity was designed with purpose by a higher power”
“Gradual development through natural selection over millennia”
“Something or someone altered humanity’s trajectory”
“We exist within a constructed or programmed reality”
As new episodes drop and new evidence is examined, these numbers shift. The Wall is alive. The investigation never stops.
Before the investigation begins, you need to understand the question. The Spine lays out the foundation — the orthodox timeline, steel-manned at full strength. The gap in the record. The scale of what's missing. And why 20 arenas of evidence across five seasons might finally change the answer. This is your briefing before the prosecution begins.
315,000 years ago, on a hillside in Morocco, a group of humans lived and died. We have their bones. Their skulls. The same brain volume as yours.
Orthodox archaeology says civilization began 12,000 years ago. Cities. Writing. Agriculture. Everything we call "progress." Before that? Silence. A quarter million years of nothing.
What if the gap isn't empty? What if the evidence didn't disappear because it never existed — but because it couldn't last? Stone survives. Wood, fiber, skin, and reed return to earth within centuries. And 20 million square kilometers of coastline now sits under ocean.
Ovi Black narrates the prosecution. Xavier Black hunts the evidence. You — the jury — help build the case. Every season: 12 episodes, 30-day open cases, and audience evidence episodes where YOUR submissions go on the Wall.
Twenty arenas of evidence. Distributed across five seasons. Each season aligns with one book. The Wall builds over years — and so does the case.
Every term. Every researcher. Every keyword we're tracking. The investigation runs on precision.
Real-time keyword monitoring across X/Twitter. The investigation never sleeps.
The scope of this investigation spans disciplines, continents, and hundreds of millennia. These are the coordinates.
One argument in five movements. A prosecution, not a theory.
The Wall isn't just digital. Bring the investigation home. The same 32-foot timeline. The same evidence cards. Your wall. Your investigation.
The Silence. 220,000 years. What happened?
