Entheogen Atlas
Live · complete, maintained
The popular history of psychedelics is built on a handful of dramatic claims that have quietly failed replication, and they are repeated because the confirmed record and the contested one are told in the same voice. The 60,000-year Shanidar Cave story is the clearest case: the pollen it rests on is now attributed to burrowing rodents, and the assemblage contains no entheogen at all.

The problem. The popular history of psychedelics is built on a handful of dramatic claims that have quietly failed replication, and they are repeated because the confirmed record and the contested one are told in the same voice. The 60,000-year Shanidar Cave story is the clearest case: the pollen it rests on is now attributed to burrowing rodents, and the assemblage contains no entheogen at all.
What it does. Assembles archaeology, neuroscience, legal history, phenomenology and religious use into one atlas anchored on the oldest chemically confirmed use of a psychedelic — peyote from Shumla Cave, radiocarbon dated to 3780–3660 cal BC and shown by GC-MS to contain mescaline. Older claims are carried where they are serious, but held on an explicit evidence ladder rather than folded into a single headline figure. A separate evidence register and governance page record how each rung is assigned.
Built on. A static single-page atlas with a committed evidence register and a small governance endpoint. No build step; served from Vercel.
This record is generated from the same inventory as the complete build index: the production URL was checked at the last regeneration, and the status line above repeats what the build reports about itself rather than restating an intention.
