The archive, day by day

On this day in conspiracies

The dated turning points behind the case files: assassinations, crashes, leaks, votes, and the moments a theory was born, each drawn straight from a file's sourced timeline. We only place an entry on a day the record actually names.

   PolybiusHoaxes & Pop Culture

   The earliest verifiable record of the name 'Polybius' is an entry added to the arcade-history database coinop.org. The site's own page lists a 1998 creation date, but that appears to be a database default triggered by missing input; the confirmed timestamp is February 2000.
