Deep in the ruins of an ancient Mesopotamian library lies one of history's most debated unsolved historical mysteries — a cracked clay tablet known as the Planisphere. This true crime documentary-style investigation examines how researchers Alan Bond and Mark Hempsell decoded this 3,000-year-old artifact and connected it to a real geological mystery in Köfels, Austria.

This video breaks down the complete story: how archaeologist Henry Layard first discovered the tablet in Nineveh, Iraq, what modern astronomical software revealed when researchers reconstructed the ancient night sky, and why their controversial theory linking it to an asteroid airburst has divided scholars in Assyriology and astronomy alike.
