Today, we dive deep into the history of the WWII Cargo Cults. We’ll talk about the existing spiritual beliefs on Tanna island, the arrival of John ‘Frum’ America, how the massive presence of U.S. troops and their overwhelming 'cargo' fundamentally changed their world, the ensuing "Cargo Cult War," their expansion across the islands, the modern-day Cult of Prince Philip, and the lasting legacy of these fascinating cultures...
