For 2,000 Years They Hunted Treasure. The Real Discovery Changed History
For 2,000 years, locals believed these carvings on Mount Alvand were a coded map to buried treasure. They were mocked by history. They should not have been.
The panels, carved for Darius the Great and his son Xerxes around 500 BC, became unreadable once cuneiform literacy died out after Alexander. Legends filled the vacuum, and the site was named Ganjnameh, the Treasure Book.
Then in 1839, the French artist Eugène Flandin copied the texts, and Henry Rawlinson used them like a Rosetta stone in cracking the cuneiform script of the Persian kings.
That crack helped swing open the whole vault. Behind cuneiform lay Gilgamesh, Hammurabi's laws, the libraries of Babylon and Nineveh, the oldest written civilization on Earth.
The map led to treasure after all. The hunters just dug in the wrong dimension.
Oh no, so sorry to hear this. Check on neighbours who may help you look, peek under cars/other hiding spots, place an item that has your smell, i.e. unwashed (pillow case, shirt) outside your door. Place missing cat notes around your neighbourhood (mention if she’s got a microchip). Indoor cats do not tend to venture very far from home, studies seem to indicate a radius of up to around 500 meters. And when you do find her, hug her and consider getting a GPS device. There are many options. I use a Tractive on my cat for travel/outdoor exposure. Best of luck 🤞🍀
We fill our days mostly on things that are trivial next to what we ultimately care about. We know, deep down, however, that in the noise of it all, health is easily forgotten until it’s the only thing that matters.
We spend a fraction of our lives truly sober to the preciousness of life. We feel it when someone we love dies, when a child is born, when we come close to death ourselves, or when a diagnosis marks our limit. In those moments, we are sobered, and the rarity of it all becomes self evident. Imagine the existence we’d build together if that clarity didn’t fade.
I wish all of you the very best. Care for yourself, care for others, care for the planet and care for our animal friends. Care for life as it’s the most precious gift there is.
Some of us will live forever.
And if you’re reading this, that may or may not be you.
I am so bullish on this that I just renamed my company to Immortals.
Below:
+ why I think this
+ early signs of success
+ how to increase your odds
Yes, I know this sounds crazy.
Immortality has been an ambition for humanity since the beginning of recorded history.
The immortality I’m referring to is specific: increases in life expectancy will outpace the rate of aging. Meaning, we will no longer, by default, expect to die of natural causes.
I believe this for three reasons.
#1: Immortality already exists
Biology can reverse some features of aging, and in a handful of organisms escape it almost entirely. For example, a sperm and an egg from two people in their 30s carry the legacy of bodies that have aged for decades (the egg in particular has been arrested inside the mother since before she herself was born), yet they combine to produce an embryo that resets the aging clock to zero.
The immortal jellyfish goes further and resets itself within one lifetime, reverting its adult cells to an earlier stage through transdifferentiation and starting its life cycle again. And in the lab, scientists have begun doing this deliberately, making induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from mature adult cells such as skin fibroblasts, and using partial cellular reprogramming to turn the clock back in the tissues of living animals.
#2: AI offers new potentials
Biology is a hard problem. For most of history that complexity was beyond native human capacity. AI was made for this complexity. The clearest demonstration so far is protein folding. Predicting the three-dimensional shape a protein folds was an unsolved problem for roughly fifty years, and it mattered because a protein's shape determines what it does in the body.
DeepMind's AlphaFold2 effectively solved it in 2020, reaching a median accuracy of 92.4 out of 100, a level long thought to require the slow, painstaking work of crystallizing a protein and solving its structure by X-ray crystallography. It then released predicted structures for over 200 million proteins, nearly the entire catalogued protein universe, in a fraction of the time anyone expected.
#3: Early signs are encouraging
These aspirations are not imaginative. With the current tools in biotech Sid Sijbrandij, the co-founder of GitLab, was diagnosed with an aggressive bone cancer, osteosarcoma in his vertebrae. He treated his own disease like an engineering problem, he used AI to help direct several experimental, personalized therapies in parallel and drove the cancer into remission after standard medicine had given up. Around the same time, an Australian named Paul Conyngham, with no medical or biology background, did something similar for his dog. He used AI to help design a personalized mRNA vaccine targeting the specific mutations in his dog's tumor, and after it was given alongside another immunotherapy and within a few months the main tumor had shrunk by roughly three-quarters.
How to increase your odds…
I. Don’t die in the meantime
We don’t know when these longevity therapies will become available. Your goal is to be around when they come out. Buy yourself as much time as possible by looking after your body to the best of our scientific knowledge. Good diet, sleep, exercise will get you 80% of the results.
II. Find your achilles
Longevity therapies will likely be outcome specific. Individual specific drugs/therapies that target specific things like…
> prevent and remove arterial plaque
> prevent and reverse neurodegeneration
> specifically target and eliminate cancers, or pre cancerous legions
> prevent frailty and muscle loss, and regain muscle mass, strength and, bone density
> reverse skin aging
> rejuvenate eye health
> restore lost hearing
> etc
We don’t know what therapies will be available first. Your goal is to find what your body is struggling with most and keep that problem at-bay until a therapy is available that can fully cure or reverse it.
For example, do you struggle with cholesterol? Blood glucose control? Cognitive decline? Find your achilles heel and reduce your risk systematically.
III. Invest in the future
There are three macro trends happening on planet earth right now, and the people who bet on these areas have the highest risk + reward.
> AI
> Immortality
> Energy
As we know, power comes in many forms: money, social, political, health, etc. Those that can collect power in these fields will have the greatest chance of positioning themselves in the Immortal future.
With time, Immortal therapies will become broadly available.
If you’re reading this: don’t waste your chances by burning down your life points on a yolo-like mentality. Grind culture, addiction, social media pollution, fast food, porn, alcohol, these are all corporations turning your life into their profit. This is the Die Economy.
My company Immortals has the sole objective of turning your time, attention, and life into more healthy, functional, and prosperous minutes, days, and years. The Don’t Die Economy.
Good luck.

He wrote the song in Rishikesh (not far from Dehradun) in 1968. I find it to be an otherworldly, beautiful, calming and also melancholic song. A true hidden gem, actually one of my favourite GH songs. Still unreleased in 1995, he performed it during the Beatles Anthology documentary filming in 1995, with Paul and Ringo by his side: https://t.co/QjBySALR9y
Which makes it even more impressive. You can find petrol anywhere, but with an EV you will be severely limited because you must rely on charging, even in the most remote areas (as in his case, Kazakhstan), plus technical incompatibilities resulting from different regions having incompatible charging standards.
This guy went through a lot of work to find adapters and then while on the road download software updates on the fly to make the adapters actually work.
And then in Russia he could only use cash because credit cards (Visa, Mastercard and so on) can't be used there. Another requirement was to have a local phone number, which obviously was not possible either. And then there was GPS jamming.
So this journey was a massive challenge, and it shows that anything is possible with just the right preparations and the ability to improvise along the way.
People cross the USA in a Tesla, that's child's play. Crossing Europe: Same thing (I've only crossed Norway in mine, so it doesn't even count, lol). But what he did (he's still on the road somewhere) is a massive feat.
Just an inspiring story, and he's not even live streaming the journey. Right now there's an Austrian Twitch streamer driving across Africa, which is another impressive thing to do. And in India there's a Twitch streamer crossing the entire country on a scooter (so far he's been on the road for more than 6 months).
My dream is to cross the entire Tibetan plateau on a bicycle (actual bicycle, not an e-bike).
I know a guy who has visited over 180 countries. He is in his late 70s now, still going on backpacking trips by himself. Then there are those whose life goal is to beat the latest WoW raid boss. We all set forth challenges that might look silly or a waste of time in the eyes of others, but it brings joy and meaning to the person doing it.
There and back again.
He drove his @Tesla from Shanghai to Norway, a distance of almost 17,000 km in 60 days. Then he continued to continental Europe's westernmost point in Portugal. Now he's heading east and will eventually return to Shanghai. All alone, in his hotel on wheels. Fascinating and inspiring.
