The Immortality Key

The Secret History of the Religion with No Name

Book • 2023

In 'The Immortality Key', Brian Muraresku reconstructs the suppressed history of psychedelics in ancient Greek and early Christian rituals.

Through a 12-year investigation, Muraresku connects the lost psychedelic sacrament of Greek religion to early Christianity, exposing the true origins of Western Civilization.

He accesses hidden archives of the Louvre and the Vatican, and collaborates with archaeochemists to unveil the first scientific evidence of psychedelic drug use in classical antiquity.

The book challenges traditional views of Christianity and Western history, suggesting that psychedelics were integral to the development of these cultures.
