Ancient Anzu is a Radio Show of Bastion that talks about conspiracies on Anzu, mysterious beings from the times before Urgoth on Mirrus. It is run by several people who claim themselves as Ancient Anzu Arcanists. Some of their claims sound too good to be false.

The following excerpts from the Cortex give insights on the skeptical nature of the Ancient Anzu Radio show.
The Wedged Key
See Cortex Entry: The Wedged Key for More Details
The Key is one of the most common Shaper ruins, found all over the known world. What makes this one different? It's believed to be an Anzu place of worship. This figure has been found painted into various caves, with light coming from its center. So is it a ruin or a relic? Ancient Anzu Arcanists think it's the latter.

Crescent Lake (District)
See Cortex Entry: Crescent Lake (District) for More Details
Ancient Anzu Arcanists think that this lake was home to some sort of creature. The lake's underwater passages lead into the cenote in Anshar, so it could be possible that this creature had something to do with whatever happened there. If it was, in fact, an Anzu of some sort, this would be the basis for many of the stories from the area. Maybe the Fen Watcher, the Ezurite Anzu, and the mysterious shadow that came to Anshar are one and the same.

Tarsis Forest (District)
See Cortex Entry: Tarsis Forest (District) for More Details
Most notable in this forest are the fierce-looking statues of an unknown beast, reminiscent of “The Hound” of Honor Valley, meant to frighten wildlife and keep them away from the settlement. These statues are found along most major strider pathways in the Fort Tarsis area and were given the nickname “The Happy Anzu.” But could this beast have once existed? Ancient Anzu Arcanists think so.

The Phantom Crag (District)
See Cortex Entry: The Phantom Crag (District) for More Details
The Phantom Javelin was last spotted along the eastern edge and the old strider path. Recent eyewitnesses confirmed previous accounts that the Phantom Javelin did indeed have no head and consequently, no pilot. Who and how can this possibly exist?

Scars and the Wedged Key
See Cortex Entry: Scars and the Wedged Key for More Details
The wedged key is no different than other keys in the area, so why is it so revered? The Scars have tried to dislodge it several times. Why? Scars constantly attempt to get their feelers on Shaper relics, but it remains a mystery why this one is of such interest when there are five others nearby. I am submitting my request for a cross-reference with Hanni Blythe, writer of History of Scars.
