Episode Synopsis

The book for this episode presents an extensive argument asserting that Francis Bacon is the true author of the works attributed to William Shakespeare (often referred to as "Shakspere," the man from Stratford). The argument is built upon several pillars: claiming the plays reveal a profound, scholarly learning and legal expertise far exceeding the documented education of the Stratford man; detailing the coarse and illiterate environment of Shakspere's life, including his family's illiteracy and the squalor of Stratford; demonstrating identical metaphors, phrasing, and philosophical opinions between Bacon's acknowledged writings and the Plays; and pointing out numerous geographical and political discrepancies that favour Bacon’s life experience over Shakspere’s. Finally, a significant portion explores the alleged existence of a complex cipher within the First Folio's text and pagination, which purportedly recounts Bacon's secret authorship and personal history, including his legal troubles and efforts to conceal his identity as the playwright.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/quantum-akashic-network--6730906/support.Thank you for Listening
