00:00:27.200 We were always told,
00:00:28.980 Earth has seven continents. But what if that wasn't true? What if something else was going on
00:00:36.700 and there were secrets being kept from all of us? In 1947, America's greatest explorer
00:00:44.300 reportedly said he wanted to see the land beyond the known continents. But what does that mean?
00:00:52.600 His name was Admiral Richard E. Byrd, the man who flew over the North Pole, the man who flew over the South Pole,
00:01:00.000 and the man who, according to the people who believe this story, came back talking about that land beyond the pole.
00:01:09.500 That same winter, the U.S. Navy sent 4,700 men, 13 ships, and 33 aircraft to Antarctica.
00:01:17.260 America. They came home with 49,000 photographs. 12 years later, the most powerful nations
00:01:24.840 on Earth, enemies in a Cold War, sat down and agreed that no one would ever own that
00:01:31.480 continent. No new claims, no military bases, no weapons. Some people look at all of that
00:01:39.000 and see science. Others see a fence, a wall. Because there's a theory. It says those
00:01:47.240 seven continents are not the whole world. They are the yard inside the fence, cage that we all
00:01:54.780 live in. It's called Greater Earth Theory. Some refer to the land beyond as Terra Infinita.
00:02:04.260 But the story runs deeper. It says that beyond this great ice wall are not strangers or
00:02:12.260 undiscovered lands they're the old powers the true powers of a greater earth atlantis tartaria
00:02:22.580 agartha and we we are just the slaves that work for them what did bird really see why did the
00:02:30.980 world lock antarctica away and what is in this land and if it is an ice wall what's really beyond it
00:02:39.220 And why do people think that Antarctica isn't a continent, but a wall?
00:02:47.500 May 9th, 1926, Spitsbergen, an island far north of Norway.
00:02:53.760 A young Navy officer named Richard Byrd and his pilot, Floyd Bennett, take off in a three-engine Fokker.
00:03:01.420 They come back almost 16 hours later and tell the world they've circled the North Pole for 13 minutes.
00:03:08.740 Bird becomes a national hero.
00:03:11.280 Ticker tape parades.
00:03:12.860 The Medal of Honor.
00:03:14.720 Three years later, he flies over the South Pole.
00:03:18.060 He's the man of both ends of the earth.
00:03:21.020 But hold on to that 1926 flight, because this is where it gets strange.
00:03:26.620 70 years later, in 1996, archivists at Ohio State found Bird's own flight diary hidden in a box of his papers.
00:03:35.100 and on its pages there are erasures. Calculations rubbed out. Readable enough that historians now
00:03:43.340 think the plane turned back more than 100 miles short of where Byrd said he'd been.
00:03:50.260 So the official story of the man who opened the poles has a hole in it. What else was left out?
00:03:57.080 August 1946. The war is over and the Navy launches the biggest Antarctic expedition in history.
00:04:05.100 Its official name is the U.S. Navy and Arctic Developments Program.
00:04:09.860 Everyone calls it Operation High Jump.
00:04:13.020 4,700 men, 13 ships, including an aircraft carrier, 33 aircraft, and Bird is in charge.
00:04:22.940 Officially, it's just training.
00:04:25.680 Testing new gear in the cold.
00:04:27.880 Testing out mapping.
00:04:29.400 But one of the goals, according to the record, was to extend American claims over the largest
00:04:34.520 area possible, and it didn't come home clean. On December 30th, a Navy seaplane called George One
00:04:42.180 slammed into the ice. Three men died. The survivors waited 13 days to be rescued.
00:04:48.640 By late February 1947, the whole fleet was gone. Then, on March 5th, 1947, on the way home,
00:04:57.640 Bird gives an interview that ran in the Chilean newspaper El Mercurio, and he sounds worried.
00:05:04.920 He warns the time when America could hide behind its isolation is over,
00:05:10.340 and in the next war, America could be attacked by planes flying over one or both of the poles.
00:05:16.880 And according to the believers, around the same time, he said the line that started all of this,
00:05:23.440 I'd like to see that land beyond the pole.
00:05:26.900 not the pole, beyond it.
00:05:29.540 And almost a decade later, during the next big mission, Operation Deep Freeze,
00:05:34.960 according to Hollow Earth writers, a radio report went out that has been repeated for 60 years.
00:05:41.580 On January 13th, 1956, members of a U.S. expedition, it said,
00:05:48.020 penetrated a land extent 2,300 miles beyond the pole.
00:05:53.940 2,300 miles beyond the South Pole, on a globe.
00:05:59.260 That's just more Antarctica and then ocean.
00:06:02.760 Unless the globe isn't the whole story.
00:06:08.400 December 1st, 1959, Washington, D.C.
00:06:12.340 Twelve countries sign a treaty about one place on Earth.
00:06:16.380 The United States and the Soviet Union are on the same piece of paper.
00:06:20.680 Two years after Sputnik, in the middle of the Cold War, agreeing.
00:06:26.020 And this is what they agreed to.
00:06:28.140 Article 1.
00:06:29.520 Antarctica shall be used for peaceful purposes only.
00:06:33.000 No military measures.
00:06:34.680 No weapons testing.
00:06:36.360 Article 5.
00:06:37.580 No nuclear explosions.
00:06:39.320 No nuclear waste.
00:06:41.220 Article 4.
00:06:42.220 Every country's claim on the land is frozen.
00:06:45.820 Nobody gives theirs up.
00:06:47.400 And nobody is ever allowed to make a new one.
00:06:50.620 Article 7. Inspectors can walk into any station, any ship, any plane, at any time.
00:06:57.600 Now think about this the way the true believers do. The two superpowers who couldn't agree on
00:07:03.220 anything agreed that nobody would ever plant a flag on this place, and that everybody would
00:07:09.300 watch everybody else while they were there. Today, 57 countries are bound by it. If Antarctica is
00:07:17.420 just ice and penguins. Why the lock? That's the question a lot of people are asking right now.
00:07:24.620 In September, Pittsburgh Steelers receiver DK Metcalf told The Athletic, quote,
00:07:30.880 I think there is another civilization inside of Earth. And then he asked the question you've
00:07:37.180 probably heard before, quote, why can't you just book a trip to Antarctica? But the idea that
00:07:43.940 there's more out there, is a lot older than TikTok. In 1928, the AP ran a story under the
00:07:49.960 headline, quote, says Earth is no globe. It was about a young Boston man named F. Amadeo
00:07:58.280 Giannini. He believed the Earth doesn't end at the polls, that if you kept going past them,
00:08:05.100 you wouldn't fall off a ball, you'd just keep going, land, and more land. In 1959, the same
00:08:12.360 year as the treaty, he published it as a book, Worlds Beyond the Poles. And since people knew
00:08:18.840 Byrd had come back from Antarctica in 1947 with similar claims, they put the two side by side.
00:08:25.760 A man who said there was land beyond the poles, and an admiral who said he wanted to see it.
00:08:31.820 So what if Giannini was right? What if the edge of the map isn't an edge at all?
00:08:36.180 Just a wall. And that is where greater Earth begins.
00:08:42.360 So here's what people think is really going on.
00:08:48.360 Start with the globe you know.
00:08:50.300 Seven continents, five oceans.
00:08:53.060 Now pull the camera back.
00:08:55.080 The globe isn't a globe.
00:08:57.000 It's a small patch on the surface of something enormous,
00:09:00.060 a much larger sphere, a greater Earth,
00:09:04.020 and our whole world sits on one corner of it.
00:09:07.720 Around that patch runs a ring of ice, hundreds of feet high.
00:09:11.800 thousands of miles long. We call it Antarctica. On our maps, it's squashed into a strip at the
00:09:19.480 bottom, or a lump at the South Pole. In this theory, it isn't at the bottom of anything.
00:09:25.620 It's just a fence that goes all the way around the seven continents we know. So if this is an
00:09:32.880 ice wall on a greater Earth, what lies beyond it? More land, more oceans, more continents.
00:09:39.900 Some say dozens.
00:09:41.480 Some say hundreds.
00:09:43.180 And then there is the theory of Terra Infinita.
00:09:46.680 In late 2022, a map went viral on TikTok and Instagram.
00:09:50.940 In the middle sits a familiar circle labeled the known lands, our world, under a dome,
00:09:57.760 inside an ice wall, around it, stretching off the edges of the page, world after world.
00:10:05.620 178 of them.
00:10:07.120 One is called the Ancestral Republic.
00:10:09.980 And at the openings in the ice wall, the map shows guards.
00:10:13.100 It calls them the custodians.
00:10:15.280 The map comes from a Spanish-language YouTube channel called Nos Confunden, which means
00:10:20.760 they confuse us, and a writer named Claudio Nocelli, who has built a whole series of Terra
00:10:29.040 Infinita books around it.
00:10:31.260 And the stories just keep coming.
00:10:33.440 One version that's racked up massive views.
00:10:35.860 This is a classified mission in 1956, broke through the ice and found green valleys,
00:10:43.120 ancient structures, and a sky with two suns. Tall beings that glowed blue. One man who came back,
00:10:51.160 the story goes, vanished weeks later and his notes were burned. Now put it next to what we've
00:10:58.140 already seen. A Navy armada in 1946, an admiral who wanted to see the land beyond the pole.
00:11:03.980 A report about 2,300 miles extending past it.
00:11:09.000 A treaty in 1959 that froze every claim and put the whole continent under watch.
00:11:14.540 1956 sits right in the middle.
00:11:17.780 To believers, these are not separate stories.
00:11:20.640 It's one story.
00:11:22.320 We went out there.
00:11:23.700 We found something.
00:11:25.100 And then the door was shut.
00:11:27.160 Which raises the real question.
00:11:29.120 If there is a world out there, who lives in it?
00:11:31.980 and why are we being kept from it?
00:11:37.520 Athens, 360 years before Christ.
00:11:42.360 The philosopher Plato writes down a story.
00:11:45.700 He says it came from the Athenian lawmaker Solon,
00:11:49.540 who heard it from Egyptian priests.
00:11:52.440 It's about an island beyond the pillars of Heracles,
00:11:55.800 the Strait of Gibraltar, the edge of the known world.
00:11:58.940 An island, he writes, greater than Libya and Asia put together.
00:12:04.580 And then he writes the line, greater earth believers can't stop, quoting.
00:12:09.120 That island was, quote, the passage, other islands,
00:12:13.480 and to a great ocean of which the Mediterranean Sea was only the harbor.
00:12:19.100 Only the harbor, our whole world, a little port on the edge of something much bigger.
00:12:25.720 Plato called that island Atlantis.
00:12:28.260 Its empire, he wrote, reached into Europe and Africa.
00:12:32.280 And then, in a time of earthquakes and floods, it disappeared into the sea.
00:12:37.960 Or, the believers say, behind the ice.
00:12:41.040 Now jump forward to the maps.
00:12:43.040 For 600 years, from the 1200s into the 1800s, European maps showed a giant land across the top of Asia called Tartaria.
00:12:53.840 The 1771 Encyclopedia Britannica calls it a vast country in the northern parts of Asia.
00:12:59.920 Then, by the late 1800s, it's gone.
00:13:04.080 Wiped off the maps.
00:13:05.620 Replaced with Russia, China, Turkestan.
00:13:09.380 Online, that vanishing has become legend. 0.59
00:13:12.900 The Tartarian Empire.
00:13:14.480 An advanced global civilization, the story goes, with free energy.
00:13:19.260 And the grand domed buildings we still can't explain.
00:13:22.600 Old train stations, world's fair palaces, capitals that all look the same.
00:13:28.820 Then, a mud flood buried these cities.
00:13:32.940 Wars finished them off, and history was rewritten to erase them.
00:13:37.760 And this is where it all comes together.
00:13:39.960 This is the darkest version of greater Earth.
00:13:43.240 Atlantis didn't sink.
00:13:45.060 Tartaria didn't fall.
00:13:47.200 They're still out there, beyond the wall, on the rest of our greater earth.
00:13:53.140 The great nations, the seven continents inside the ring, we're the colony.
00:13:58.940 A fenced yard, a mine, a farm.
00:14:02.300 We build, we pay, and we make.
00:14:05.540 And what we make flows outward to the masters that we've never seen.
00:14:09.580 Our history was written for us.
00:14:12.800 Our maps were drawn for us.
00:14:15.680 The wall isn't there to keep us out.
00:14:18.220 It's here to keep us in.
00:14:21.260 That's the theory.
00:14:22.640 The Admiral, the Armada, the Treaty, the Map, the Lost Empires.
00:14:26.360 It's a lot.
00:14:27.720 The question emerges then.
00:14:30.080 Why keep the inner continents ignorant?
00:14:32.980 If we are to do work for these greater nations,
00:14:36.300 why not just give us access to better technologies to do this work?
00:14:41.540 There's an old quote that is misattributed to be from Harriet Tubman.
00:14:46.720 It reads,
00:14:47.960 I freed a thousand slaves.
00:14:50.120 I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves.
00:14:54.580 While the quote may not be real, it does ring true for a lot of reasons.
00:15:00.300 If the people you seek to enslave are aware of their oppression, they will revolt.
00:15:05.460 But if they don't know, then what is there to revolt against?
00:15:09.600 And that is the theory as to why we are kept imprisoned, slaves, in the inner ring.
00:15:18.480 Now, while all of this is absolutely fascinating, let's break down what the believers don't like.
00:15:28.660 Let's start with the easiest claim.
00:15:31.400 DK Metcalf asked why you can't just book a trip to Antarctica.
00:15:35.240 You can.
00:15:36.720 According to the Tour Operators Association, 118,491 people visited last season.
00:15:44.120 You can fly there.
00:15:45.720 You can cruise there.
00:15:47.240 People run marathons there.
00:15:49.680 Planes fly between Australia and South America.
00:15:52.780 Satellites photograph the whole planet every day.
00:15:56.040 No one has seen a wall.
00:15:57.540 In order for this to be the case, these people would have to be either ignorant of the greater conspiracy
00:16:03.440 or mass technology and large institutions would all have to be in on it.
00:16:09.280 Certainly that is possible, just particularly unlikely.
00:16:14.400 Next, Admiral Byrd.
00:16:16.760 His real interview in El Mercurio was a Cold War warning.
00:16:21.220 Enemy planes, meaning Soviet bombers, coming over the poles.
00:16:24.720 Later versions of that interview changed planes into flying objects
00:16:28.900 that could fly from pole to pole at incredible speeds.
00:16:32.580 Byrd never said that.
00:16:33.440 And those famous lines, the land beyond the pole, 2,300 miles beyond the pole, they're passed around in hollow earth books.
00:16:42.020 Most famously, Raymond Bernard's The Hollow Earth from 1964.
00:16:46.880 Bernard was the pen name of a man named Walter Siegmeister.
00:16:50.900 Nobody we could find has produced a recording of or a Navy document for either line.
00:16:57.400 In 1956, the Navy was flying across Antarctica, which is a lot of land.
00:17:02.400 you don't need another world to get 2,300 miles of it. And the erased diary? Dennis Rollins,
00:17:09.880 the researcher who reviewed it, concluded Byrd probably fell short of the North Pole,
00:17:14.780 but that the idea he set out to deceive anyone now appears most likely to be false.
00:17:20.400 An admiral who got his navigation wrong, not a cover-up. Operation High Jump ended because
00:17:26.060 winter was coming. His 538-page report from June of 1947 is public, and you can read it online.
00:17:33.560 Giannini? The man who said Earth is no globe? Court records show burglary convictions in 1930
00:17:39.320 and 1955, which aren't directly related to his claims, but lead many people to say he's perhaps
00:17:46.740 not the most credible. And the Terra Infinita map? Fact-checkers traced it to illustrations
00:17:52.580 for a series of science fiction books.
00:17:55.720 Tartary was just the name Europeans used
00:17:58.340 for the huge stretch of Central Asia and Siberia
00:18:01.240 they didn't know much about.
00:18:03.320 It dropped off maps as the maps got better.
00:18:06.000 The idea of a Tartarian empire was born in Russia
00:18:09.240 out of Anatoly Fomenko's new chronology
00:18:12.880 in the 1970s and 80s.
00:18:14.220 And Russia's own geographical society
00:18:16.720 calls it a fantasy.
00:18:18.660 And Atlantis is a story from Plato
00:18:20.080 with nothing found under the sea to back it up.
00:18:23.620 So the case against a greater Earth, it's strong.
00:18:27.040 And yet, the man the world called the conqueror of the North Pole probably never got there.
00:18:33.680 His own diary sat in a box for 70 years before anyone looked.
00:18:37.440 Maps really were redrawn.
00:18:39.580 Whole countries really did vanish off of them.
00:18:42.600 And the Cold War superpowers really did agree to freeze one continent,
00:18:46.720 keep the guns out, and watch each other there forever. So maybe it's just ice. Maybe the edge
00:18:53.760 of the map is just the edge of the map. But people have been staring at that white line at the bottom
00:18:59.240 of the map for a hundred years, asking what's beyond it and what's there. No one's going to
00:19:04.420 stop now. And while we can look at the official narratives, while we can be skeptical, there is
00:19:11.040 always the question that lingers for those who truly believe. What if those are the lies?
00:19:18.760 One big cover-up. And the question of the cover-up is what leads people to believe
00:19:23.880 something may be happening beyond what we know. For many people, there is little reason to trust
00:19:31.980 our institutions and governments. And for that reason, they will always doubt the official
00:19:37.900 stories and seek to confirm that which they can see with their own eyes. I hope you all enjoyed
00:19:44.640 this mini documentary breaking down greater earth and terra infinita. Certainly a subject I enjoy
00:19:51.320 and find to be absolutely fascinating. If you've made it this far, my friends, you are legends.
