About this listen

Hidden within the world’s oldest books are truths that were never meant to be read.

Hosted by Ben Carter, The Forbidden Library Podcast unlocks the mysteries of ancient manuscripts, lost scrolls, and banned writings that shaped human history — from mystical grimoires and secret religious texts to occult codices and hidden philosophies buried by time.

Each episode deciphers the symbols, teachings, and translations that reveal how ancient knowledge continues to influence our world today.

This isn’t mythology.
It’s history — preserved in ink, guarded in silence, and rediscovered one page at a time.

Because some books were never written to be read by everyone…
Only by those who were ready.

  • The Oera Linda Book
    Feb 21 2026

    https://www.theforbiddenknowledgenetwork.com

    Poring over the pages of a puzzling manuscript, we delve into the enigma of the Oera Linda Book. Unearthed in the 19th century, this text, written in Old Frisian language, allegedly documents an ancient civilization dating back 4,000 years, long before the Romans, Greeks, or the ancient Egyptians. It challenges accepted beliefs about the chronology of human civilization, proposing an audacious narrative that the true cradle of Western civilization was not the Middle East, but Europe. Yet, the Oera Linda Book is wrapped in layers of mystery, controversy, and doubts concerning its authenticity. We explore this cryptic manuscript and its claims, seeking to understand its origins, its contents, and its impact on our understanding of history.

    Immerse yourself in the lively debate surrounding the Oera Linda Book. As we navigate its complex narrative, you'll encounter a world where women held positions of power, where democratic governance existed millennia before it was conceptualized by the Greeks. You'll also uncover the cultural context of the 19th century when the book surfaced, a time seething with nationalism across Europe. We delve into the book's physical form and its cryptic language, its tales of matriarchs, heroes, wars, and societal norms. Embark on this journey with us as we illuminate this artifact of forbidden knowledge, probing the boundaries of history and questioning the foundations of our past.

  • The Unsolved Mystery of the Dead Sea Scrolls A Hidden Messiah
    Feb 13 2026

    https://www.theforbiddenknowledgenetwork.com

    Immerse yourself in the enigmatic world of the Dead Sea Scrolls, discovered mid-20th century, shedding a piercing light on the ancient texts hidden deep within the arid caves of Qumran. One cryptic text, referring to a mysterious figure known as "The Teacher of Righteousness", has sparked a myriad of interpretations and theories, igniting heated debates in religious and academic spheres. Journey with us as we explore the profound implications of these theories, from the possibility of a hidden Messiah to the dramatic reformation of Christian history.

    The Essenes, a Jewish sect that lived in isolation near the Dead Sea during a tumultuous period in Jewish history, are often identified as the authors of these scrolls. Their ascetic lifestyle and beliefs are reflected in the texts, offering unique insights into their community and the broader Second Temple period. The Dead Sea Scrolls and the mystery of the Hidden Messiah offer a fascinating look into a community on the fringes of Jewish society, living in expectation of a divine intervention that would reshape the world.

By reviewing surviving manuscripts, scholarly commentary, and reported interpretations, this investigation explores why the Cave of Treasures continues to attract interest—and how its blend of tradition and theology has shaped enduring questions about early sacred history.
