While the official scientific explanation attributes the Tunguska Event to a meteor airburst, a persistent and intriguing conspiracy theory points elsewhere: to the laboratory of Nikola Tesla . In this episode of Unexplained History , host Tom McKenzie dives deep into the legendary inventor’s \"Death Ray\" experiments and the persistent rumors that his wireless energy tests at Wardenclyffe Tower inadvertently triggered the massive blast. We explore the technical arguments, the lack of an impact crater, and the role of pop culture—from Assassin's Creed to modern documentaries—in keeping this 100-year-old mystery alive. Join us as we weigh the scientific evidence of a cosmic impact against the fascinating narrative of a genius whose ambitions may have shook the world.
