In this gripping episode of Space City X-Files, we delve deep into the enigmatic saga of the RMS Titanic, far beyond the well-trodden narrative of its tragic iceberg collision. Episode #38, titled "The Raising of the Titanic Conspiracies," explores the lesser-known and more mysterious aspects of this century-old maritime disaster.

We begin by revisiting the official story, setting the stage for an exploration into the shadowy depths of the Titanic’s journey. Our focus shifts to a smoldering mystery: the coal fire that blazed in the ship's cargo area for weeks before it even left port. Could this fire have sealed the fate of the Titanic before it encountered the fatal iceberg?

Then, we delve into the intriguing theory involving some of the wealthiest men aboard the Titanic. Astor, Guggenheim, and Straus – titans of industry, all perished in the icy waters of the North Atlantic. We explore the conspiracy theory that links their deaths to the formation of the Federal Reserve and how their survival might have altered American financial history.

Next, our episode takes a turn towards the mystical with the tale of the alleged cursed mummy aboard the Titanic. Was there an ancient Egyptian artifact on the ship, casting a malevolent spell that led to its downfall?

Finally, we tackle the compelling theory that the Titanic never sank. We examine the evidence suggesting a switch with its sister ship, the Olympic, as part of an elaborate insurance scam. 

Join us in Episode #38 for an enthralling journey through these lesser-known narratives, as we unravel the mysteries that still shroud the Titanic more than a century later.
