It’s adventure time once again on Superduperstitious, but that doesn’t mean that those adventures have to have any firm grounding in REALITY.
After a quick UK check-in with some genuine archaeological coolness, Wyatt heads to Arizona's Superstition Mountains to examine the Legend of the Lost Dutchman. Sure, all evidence of this particular goldmine is 1000% apocryphal, but why would that stop multiple real people from dying actual deaths in their attempts to find it? This is GOLD we’re talking about!
Jake then takes things unintentionally nearby to the Grand Canyon, where, it turns out, all ancient civilizations came from. You want Egyptian mummies? You got ‘em! A generic mishmash of a dozen or more distinct eastern and southern Asian cultures? Coming right up! A whole bunch of scientists in 1909 studying these incredible finds while avoiding a haunted snake pit? Check. It’s all for sure a real thing that happened, and that’s why we all remember it so well!
Start reconciling those geological discrepancies, watch out for snipers, and settle in to yet another fine ep o’ Superduperstitious!
