It's this guy, Brian Murescu.

And Brian's been a guest on the podcast before, and he's a scholar, right?

who is like a straight-laced guy, doesn't do drugs, nothing.

And he, through all of his course of study, they were trying to figure out what they were doing in these Illusinian mysteries.

Why were people going from all over the world to have these experiences, and what were these experiences?

So they recently discovered that inside these pottery vessels that used to contain wine and beer in, they found ergot.

And ergot is a very potent psychedelic.

It's like a fungus.

I think it's akin to LSD.

And so they're very, at the very least, we're taking that in this one spot.

And what they believe is that

All of these like transcendent experiences they had, these the Illusinian mysteries, they get together and figure out how to solve the world and let people vote and all that wacky.

That's all.
