Listen "[Preview]#49. The Skull Boys e03 "The Dunes of Death." Part.2 "
Episode Synopsis
Today we jump right into it. We will follow the grave robbing life of the 19th century's most famous phrenologist, Gustaf "the skull measurer" Retzius. A historical paparazzi trip from Kalevala's Finland to an Egypt of stolen mummies and chloroform scamming on Turtle Island.
Sebbe helps me understand early bourgeois paedophile networks, workhouses, orphanages and summer camps during the last decades before the invention of the automobile. We begin mapping the Eugenics Internationale by looking at member lists of the first anthropological societies.
I discover a collection of old ghost stories which explains why the Retzius home was called the Ghost Castle. Dark tales about Swedenborgian pirates and Dutch slave traders, the coincidence of a hidden crypt of anonymous skeletons in the garden of the foremost bone collector.
