In this episode of Conspiracy Theories, Dave and Dave are joined by YouTube's D-Dunkin' Joe to talk about the mysterious Ark of the Covenant and the mysterious disappearance of the New Jersey drones around Christmas.
00:00:44.000I'm very passionate about this stuff, so I'm glad that people are taking notice and that I'm sitting here talking to you right now about it.
00:01:42.000Anytime they won't let you see the evidence, I get like all of my alarm bells go off, right?
00:01:46.000But I understand why they wouldn't want you to see it if it really is the Ark.
00:01:51.000I'd like to see, I guess the best thing we could do to test it without seeing the Ark would be to look into the claims that these guys go blind and they show signs of radiation.
00:02:00.000Yeah, let's explain to everybody what the claim, that they believe that this one church in Ethiopia actually possesses the Ark of the Covenant and that these priests that are supposedly guarding this, they all exhibit signs of radiation poisoning.
00:02:16.000Yes, they all just exhibit signs of radiation poisoning.
00:02:19.000They go blind, they die quickly, and then somebody else, one priest at a time, is allowed to be the caretaker of the ark.
00:02:45.000But there's a lot of evidence in that book that was really interesting, like the Knights Templar statues and stuff in old Paris cathedrals that would lead Graham to Ethiopia, just all kinds of weird stuff that made it really interesting.
00:03:05.000It's like real life kind of Indiana Jones shit.
00:03:08.000And so I was just anxious for that fingerprints.
00:03:10.000Well, something that has that much radiation that kills people so quickly, wouldn't that be something that you could measure from outside of the church?
00:03:20.000You would think that our boys would be all over that shit with the satellites.
00:03:24.000It'd be like, yeah, that's a spot to watch out for.
00:03:44.000I think it was from like quite a while ago.
00:03:48.000So there was a warhead that was not accounted for, a nuclear warhead.
00:03:52.000And the thought was that somehow or another it had gotten snuck into the United States.
00:03:58.000And these drones had the capability to scan for gamma radiation and that they were looking for excess gamma radiation, which would indicate that this thing was there.
00:05:04.000They just stopped at the Christmas time.
00:05:06.000I was kind of worried about that because I went to see Mark Gagnon in...
00:05:11.000In Brooklyn, I just was there last week, and I was like, man, I hope I don't see a bunch of dang drones in the sky and stuff still, because I've had that booked out for a couple of months.
00:05:23.000And he said it had propellers, but it didn't sound like a regular helicopter, so it was real weird.
00:05:29.000I saw a lot of videos of them, and I saw a few guys talking about them that seemed somewhat credible on Twitter, but I didn't see guys that had talked about being weapons developers and stuff like that.
00:05:42.000It's so easy nowadays to just bullshit your way through things and there's money in it, right?
00:05:47.000So it's like there's the days of it needing to be a government conspiracy in my mind are like way long gone.
00:05:53.000If I pretend I see Bigfoot and I fake it good enough to get on Joe Rogan, well, man, I'm doing pretty fucking good now, ain't I? Yeah, you can make some money.
00:06:08.000And I like that about your channel, that you are quite skeptical about a lot of things, even things that the people that are heretics of the archaeological world, they subscribe to, and you're like, eh, not so fast, which I think is great.
00:06:41.000Like I was saying with the satellites, in all honesty, the feds monitor that kind of shit, like heavily.
00:06:47.000So, I mean, if it's possible that it wouldn't be, you know, any kind of weapons-grade-y stuff, so they might just not be looking for that particularly.
00:06:54.000Can they monitor for gamma radiation from satellites?
00:06:58.000I know that they can look for, I know they can look for, I'm not sure how they detect it, I'm not sure what they use to detect it, but I know that they can look for radioactive material from space.
00:07:08.000So, the thought is that if this Ark of the Covenant is there, and whatever it is, is somehow radioactive, is there any sort of theory as to how they develop some sort of radioactive thing?
00:07:32.000Well, this episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.
00:07:36.000People like to throw around all these red flags, you know, things someone says or does that you don't like, which is fine.
00:07:43.000But instead of focusing on the negative all the time, why don't we focus on the positive?

00:08:51.000That's betterhelp.com slash J-R-E. The theory that a lot of people have is that it's a weapon.
00:09:01.000Like in the Bible, it's described like shooting lightning and things like that.
00:09:05.000And what Graham mentions in the book, it's an interesting point, is...
00:09:08.000The Bible records Moses going up to Mount Sinai, coming down with the Ten Commandments, getting mad at the Israelites worshiping a golden calf, and he breaks the Ten Commandments and then goes back up the mountain and comes back down after another week or so with the Ten Commandments again.
00:09:25.000And Graham points out that this could be a memory of him going up and getting the wrong stone.
00:09:32.000Dammit, smashes it, goes back and finds the right stone that he's looking for, that it had uranium-rich or whatever speculative radiation stuff.
00:09:42.000But inside of the box, a popular theory is you've got metal, wood, metal, like a transformer.
00:09:48.000And so the popular theory is it's a way to generate electricity.
00:09:51.000And it would also describe the way that guys in the Bible, if they touch it, they have to carry it with sticks.
00:09:56.000And if they touch it, even to steady it, they get killed and stuff.
00:10:01.000Honestly, I don't see it being a transformer.
00:10:03.000That metal-wood-metal thing has to be stacked.
00:10:06.000You're not just getting it with one layer like the Bible describes.
00:10:19.000Okay, transformers at the bottom of it will have multiple plates.
00:10:23.000It'll be like a plate of metal and then a plate of silicone or something like that that's conductive, non-conductive, conductive, non-conductive, and there'll be multiples of those, and this is part of the electromagnetic.
00:10:35.000Because what a transformer does is it steps electricity up or down and swaps voltage for amperage basically.
00:10:44.000So the idea is that this thing would collect electricity inside the box and then the Israelites would use it to throw lightning at the enemies.
00:10:52.000Now there's still a lot of speculation as to how the box would work, but Moses was also said to, after going up and seeing God, he was said to have had to cover his face with a cloth for the rest of his life because it was shown.
00:11:05.000And Graham speculated in that book that it might be because of radiation sickness or something.
00:12:11.000I watched a friend of mine working on an arcade machine once, and one of the leads popped off of the thing, and he was bald, and it tapped him on the top.
00:12:27.000So some guys believe, like Billy Carson, would say that the Ark of the Covenant would fit inside of the sarcophagus of the King's Chamber, which it doesn't, and that it's a Capacitor to power the pyramid.
00:13:13.000There's a possibility that I'm wrong there, but I know that the measurements are off by enough that it was like, this isn't just a little mix and match.
00:13:41.000But if that's real, and these guys are just guarding it and dying of radiation poison, like, hey, get some fucking better leadership and let the world know.
00:13:49.000I mean, if you really want people to believe in God and the Bible, what better way than to say, not only is the Ark of the Covenant real, but we have it here at this church in Ethiopia, and we've been suffering for the past X hundred years.
00:16:18.000There's so much about the pyramids in general that are just so hard to even...
00:16:24.000Like I mentioned a little bit last time we talked, the squaring of it is so, it's like 756 feet long and there's like two to three inch variation at the most.
00:16:33.000So you're talking like thousandths of a percent on this massive thing.
00:16:38.000And if you just stretch a rope from one end of this table to the other and hold it tight, it's going to sag a little.
00:16:43.000You're 756 feet, you're not getting a two inch accurate measurement at that.
00:18:19.000The argument, of course, would be this is the kind of stuff that would get looted right away, right?
00:18:23.000If you watch Mad Max, they're not running around picking up bottle caps.
00:18:26.000They're picking up the stuff you can use.
00:18:28.000But on the flip side of that, the evidence, if you look at any one of your videos or mine that are about the pyramids, you're going to have thousands of comments of people that are like, here's my theory on the pyramids.
00:18:45.000I think they might have used water, too.
00:18:48.000We kind of need to exhaust, in my mind, we kind of need to exhaust all that mundane shit that people can throw at this problem before we really can start saying, okay, now let's just step outside of history and speculate harder.
00:18:59.000I'm willing to entertain the things, but if you really want to find out what happened, in my mind, you kind of have to be more grounded with it.
00:19:08.000Well, I think if we're looking at a linear timeline between the technology that was available to people, say, 15,000 years ago and today, then yeah.
00:19:17.000Then you have to look at it in a more mundane way because obviously they didn't have electricity then.
00:19:22.000You're thinking obviously they didn't have diamond tip cutting tools that were made out of like some super titanium or whatever the fuck the alloy was.
00:19:32.000But if we're looking at lost technology and if we're looking at the possibility of, you know, when you get into Graham Hancock stuff, specifically the Younger Dryas impact theory, which...
00:19:44.000I'm always fascinated by both the people that fully support it and the people that fully dismiss it.
00:19:50.000Both of those things are interesting to me because you don't know.
00:20:38.000But the fact that it was sawed at the top was very interesting.
00:20:41.000Some of the bones they've dated to tens of thousands of years, including animals that they've found bones of that weren't even supposed to be in this area.
00:20:52.000So he has an enormous piece of land, but a small piece of it, I think it's only about six acres, where they're finding an enormous number of woolly mammoth bones.
00:21:03.000Short-faced bear, all these different lions, and all these different animals that some of them they didn't even think were in Alaska.
00:21:13.00010-15 thousand years ago and there's also a thick layer of dark carbon that indicates that like something happened like there was some sort of massive burn and the theory is that there was an enormous flood and that this was a basin where a lot of these animals that died got washed into and then covered so they have this wall that is essentially permafrost and they hose it down They do it all the time, and then they see a mammoth tusk, and then they slowly work their way out.
00:23:11.000I'm just going to dig this stuff up myself.
00:23:14.000I don't want anybody coming in, lying and bullshitting and controlling the area.
00:23:18.000It's all on private land, so I'm just going to keep pulling the stuff out of there and hiring people to come in and do some research on it.
00:24:45.000American National History Museum in New York City had acquired some of the bones, and they had so much of them that they dumped some of them in the East River.
00:24:54.000Now, they denied it, so he sent divers out.
00:24:57.000To the exact spot in the East River and they started pulling up step bison bones and all these different...
00:25:02.000Like, ancient, ancient animal bones from this exact area where they said to look for it.
00:25:07.000So it's pretty much been confirmed that it's true.
00:25:09.000And he does know that they have some of them still, and they won't release them to him.
00:25:13.000So until they release the bones to him that are rightfully his, he's like, fuck off.
00:25:37.000And this is where it all gets so weird, you know, because I've been following this forever and ever and ever.
00:25:42.000And I was following it long before they discovered Gobekli Tepe.
00:25:46.000And so the question was that the archaeologists would always, the really arrogant archaeologists, would always throw in the faces of these heretics.
00:25:53.000They would say, well, if this is true, where's the evidence of this ancient civilization that was so sophisticated that can make massive stone structures 10,000 years ago?
00:26:04.000Look at it and go, well, okay, we're wrong about that.
00:26:07.000But we're still – we know 2,500 B.C. maximum, that's how old the pyramids are.
00:26:13.000They don't – a lot of the scientists, most of the scientists are actually scientists.
00:26:20.000But the ones that we end up seeing are the ones that are invested in creating a narrative.
00:26:26.000They're the ones that they want to – Make sure that pseudo-archaeology and pseudoscience is always on its back foot and never gets a fair day in court, blah, blah, blah.
00:26:36.000These guys, they don't give us any real accurate interpretation of the data.
00:26:41.000They'll step way outside of their lane to tell you what's going on.
00:26:58.000It's all very unfortunate because what he does know is really interesting.
00:27:01.000All that stuff about ancient seeds and stuff and how they change over the time and, you know, how you can tell whether a sea is domesticated versus whether it's feral.
00:27:10.000He's good at what he does, at least as far as that stuff goes.
00:27:16.000Like, there was another—there's a guy that's a trained anthropologist that made a couple of videos about him, Sam Urban from Illegitimate Scholar, and he—I think Graham mentioned him here before.
00:27:26.000He's a—he specialized in underwater shipwrecks, and he just blasted the stuff that Flint said, not just the three million shipwrecks.
00:27:36.000He just blasted on a scientific level.
00:28:17.000Every person who's an expert is out of their lanes with a lot of things.
00:28:20.000But there's a difference, and this is like what you alluded to it a minute ago, where it's like there's a difference between saying we know for a fact and we're not sure.
00:28:29.000You know, a common atheist argument, if you talk like Richard Dawkins, he'll say, the minute that a scientist says God did it, they're not worth a fuck to me in the lab because they're not working anymore.

00:29:43.000It's a big weekend only on DraftKings.
00:30:22.000Yeah, I mean, what we're looking at is a mystery.
00:30:25.000And Egypt, to me, is one of the most phenomenal of all the mysteries, one of the most fascinating, because whatever happened, however long ago, those people in Africa did something that no one's been able to do since.
00:30:38.000And they did it in a way that defies...
00:30:42.000Our understanding, not just of what they could do back then, but of what people could ever do, including right now.
00:31:14.000Thousands and thousands and thousands of years.
00:31:16.000And by the time the Greeks showed up...
00:31:18.000That shit was so old that you look on the Osirion, they say that there's graffiti that's like the sacred geometry shit that was Hermeticism that was popular in Greece.
00:31:28.000So they're seeing Hermeticist stuff with the sacred geometry on it.
00:31:32.000And that's like, you know, thousands of years later.
00:31:35.000Their minds are blown the same as ours are today.
00:33:38.000The new iPhones, well, I think the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and the X24 Ultra have the longest battery life in comparison to iPhone.
00:33:47.000Like, you know, they do those tests where they play, like, the Avengers, and they'll play it, like, nonstop on a loop to see which battery dies out quicker.
00:35:03.000And the way that the cap is and stuff, you could potentially fill them with orange juice or something like that, a minor acid, and get an electric charge from it.
00:35:11.000Now, it wouldn't be much of one, but you could do it.
00:35:13.000And that's something that's worth noting right there is that you can, this has been, archaeologists have determined that, well, yeah, I mean, we don't like to admit it, but yes, these potentially could have been batteries, so.
00:35:25.000There was a guy that did a debunking on it that's a popular YouTuber, and another archaeologist came around and kind of slapped him around a little bit, and he had to admit.
00:35:33.000He's like, okay, yeah, I didn't do my research good.
00:36:32.000So the real, the craziest theory of all, for sure, is the Christopher Dunn.
00:36:38.000The Christopher Don theory about the actual pyramid itself, he believes it's a massive power plant.
00:36:44.000And he believed that they were using some sort of chemicals and a certain frequency, like vibration, to generate hydrogen with all the chambers and all.
00:36:53.000And, you know, the way he describes it...
00:36:55.000It sounds very compelling because there's – I don't know what he's talking about.
00:37:11.000I talk to him on the phone probably a couple times a month.
00:37:15.000He's – and he knows that I disagree with him.
00:37:19.000The thing that right off the bat, as an electrician, the first thing that stands out to me is the claim of getting piezoelectricity from the blocks, which piezoelectricity is the electricity you get from like a quartz crystal when you stress it, so like your watch or a charcoal igniter for a grill, right?
00:37:37.000The igniter is just a piece of quartz that they pop it with a little spring and a stick when you pop it, and it's got a piece of metal on each side and wires, and that harnesses the charge.
00:37:47.000That's the first thing, is each one of the quartz crystals in those big limestone blocks would have to have a piece of metal around it and wires coming off of it or some way of harnessing the electricity.
00:37:59.000There's tons of natural electricity that happens all the time, right?
00:38:02.000But you have to harness it in order to do something with it.
00:38:05.000Is this just our understanding of how to use electricity?
00:38:08.000And could there potentially be something that we missed?
00:38:10.000Well, there's definitely stuff we don't know about electricity.
00:38:27.000But at that point, we're kind of like...
00:38:30.000My thinking on that is if we're going to say this is a technological thing and here's the way we get there and then it's like, well, but we can't really do this.
00:41:45.000One of the best ones is that the image of someone holding up something that either is a basket or looks like some sort of frequencies are emanating from some device.
00:42:20.000Just like this big straight, and it doesn't look phallic, but I mean, it kind of implies it, but almost like it's symbolism for something, right?
00:43:19.000Well, it looks like writing of some sort, but I'm not sure what it says.
00:43:23.000That's one of my main hopes for AI, that AI will get so sophisticated that it can start deciphering these things in a more meaningful way, in a way where you could use, you know, these large language models.
00:43:37.000Like, if we get, like, some, you know, like they have the Rosetta Stone, and the Rosetta Stone allowed them to decipher a lot of the ancient hieroglyphs.
00:43:45.000Get some sort of much more comprehensive analysis of what they were trying to say with this stuff.
00:44:43.000Of all the places in the world where I could go back in time and observe, you know, just somehow undetected, you know, if you get a, like a, some sort of a sphere of...
00:45:09.000What did the people look like when they were going about their daily tasks?
00:45:12.000You know, we used to think it was slaves that built the pyramid.
00:45:15.000Now they think, no, they were skilled workers.
00:45:16.000And they think that based on what their diet was, and they were eating good food, and these people were well taken care of that were involved in working around that area.
00:45:30.000Yeah, that's one of the things that When they say that it's not slaves that built it, that kind of makes me chuckle because, yeah, we know that they had, you know, well-fed people that worked there, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they were the only people that worked there.
00:45:44.000I mean, if you go down to construction over here, you're going to have a guy that's eating at Zip or eating at freaking Burger King or whatever, and you're going to have another guy who's eating a $300 lunch, and they're going to be working the same job site.
00:46:28.000And that's where, like we were talking about how the archaeology and the archaeologists and pseudo guys will argue with each other so much about and it gets so bad blooded about it.
00:46:39.000It's like, I talked about this a little bit last time, but...
00:46:43.000I see it as two distinct halves of the human psyche at work in this regard.
00:46:48.000You can almost see the distinction in the way that scientists tend to be antisocial.
00:46:55.000Antisocial might not be the right word, but they're just a little fucking weird, man.
00:46:59.000They're the kind of guys that dress weird, they talk weird, they act weird.
00:48:40.000And the way he did it wasn't abrasive.
00:48:43.000You know, if somebody asked him about aliens, if they're like, man, you know, what do you think the aliens were up to over on Alpha Centauri?
00:48:50.000What kind of technology do you think they have?
00:49:09.000He would interject a little bit of science.
00:49:11.000When they would ask a question, he would answer it and make sure that there was a little science in that so that people that really didn't give a fuck about learning about the science, they just want to talk about UFOs?
00:51:50.000And then there's another image that goes along with this that's even more bizarre.
00:51:54.000Maybe not even more bizarre, but it's like, almost looks like a cone, like a cone structure that's emanating from the surface, like surrounded by a circle.
00:54:09.000But this original tract of images, it's a long one, and if you scroll through it, one of them is some very bizarre-looking Cone-like structure.
00:54:39.000Yeah, so it's all this one area that's been studied for a long time as being that there's a bunch of different things there that you could interpret as being some sort of a structure.
00:54:49.000Well, Jimmy was sharing that video in response to this, of Buzz Aldrin saying that there's like a monolith on the moon.
00:56:12.000Yeah, if you could somehow or another make sense out of the possibility that a civilization existed on Mars and was wiped out millions and millions of years ago, that would change the way we think about everything.
00:56:27.000And I feel like that square is one step closer.
00:56:32.000To, like, really needing a comprehensive analysis of what's there.
00:56:38.000Because before it was just like, oh, it's a lifeless planet, but at one time it had an atmosphere.
00:57:14.000But the answer is always from one side, it's definitely this.
00:57:18.000From the other side, it's definitely not – not completely, but to the point where we don't get – To draw a parallel with that Yonaguni, the underwater site that Graham Hancock likes to talk about.
00:57:29.000The skeptics are certain that it's a geological formation.
00:57:37.000The clear fucking answer is just put some money at it, put some bodies on it, and until then, the answer, in my mind, is when somebody asks me, what do I think about Yonaguni?
00:58:48.000This is the stuff, it's like other people that, you know, if you say that the rocks are geopolymers in Sacsayhuaman or whatever, it's like, there's no reason for us to argue about this, man.
00:59:40.000If you want to go really crazy with like the John Anthony West version of it, which is like 30,000 plus years, that's probably what you would have left over.
01:00:06.000And then they wake up one day and there's all these monkeys running around on their planet.
01:00:10.000But that's the Doctor Who thing, right?
01:00:13.000But the Silurian hypothesis is basically a thought tool for archaeologists and historians to say, well, if there was an advanced civilization on Earth 10 million years ago...
01:00:22.000What will we need to find in order for it to exist?
01:00:26.000Or what would we find now, 10 million years later?
01:00:30.000And the answer is usually like radioactive material.
01:01:14.000The video that you sent me yesterday, the one with the stone nubs, they talked about holes.
01:01:22.000All those, I can't say for all of the sites, but like the Coliseum and stuff, they used metal to bond the bricks together and the concrete together in places.
01:02:23.000I mean, there's a technique called a lifting boss that's used to lift big things like that.
01:02:31.000But there's a couple of issues with that being the only reason that they're used.
01:02:37.000For one, a lot of times they're small like that and they wouldn't really do you much good.
01:02:40.000For two, a lot of times we see them like on the lids of a coffin, for example, which you wouldn't want to leave it there afterwards because you don't want to facilitate them.
01:02:49.000The next guy to be able to pop the coffin lid, right?
01:02:51.000You say that they're small, but if you were trying to place something exactly and you were lifting it up from the bottom, the only way you would be able to do that is if you had something like a nub sticking on the outside of it.
01:03:03.000Yeah, in order to catch a rope or keep it from walking or something like that.
01:03:06.000Or whatever it is, boards or whatever you're using to lift that and place it into position.
01:04:31.000Now, on stones like these, you don't really need a lifting boss.
01:04:35.000Look at that stone that's on the right there, that's all one to the left, that guy there.
01:04:41.000You could just use that lip on the corner right below the cursor.
01:04:45.000You could use that lip for a lifting box.
01:04:47.000You could tie a rope around that thing and push it wherever the fuck you want it.
01:04:51.000Right, but if you wanted to get it to sit down without having to pull out whatever's underneath it or whatever underneath it getting crushed, wouldn't you want something to assist you like that little nub?
01:05:29.000It's the ubiquity that really makes it different to me.
01:05:32.000It's like, and they're popping up on different sides of the ocean, and that's where it just seems kind of weird.
01:05:38.000It's like, for it to show up looking so similar, used so similar, all over the place, left behind when they're done, that's kind of weird too.
01:05:50.000The rest of the walls, a lot of times, I mean, the stones are fitted so well together, clearly they knew how to make these stones flat as fuck.
01:06:08.000The best mainstream explanation would be lifting bosses.
01:06:12.000The most common alternate history explanation is usually like a leftover from the...
01:06:20.000Concrete being pulled out like the guy on the video was saying or it's like if you have a bag of concrete and it's just like the one little spot that kind of seeps out.
01:06:29.000I don't think that they're from geopolymers.
01:06:32.000Yeah, I've heard the concrete explanation too as far as the stones in the Great Pyramid.
01:08:22.000But, like, he gives the money to these people to, like, restore all these mummies, and the first thing that they do is they restore a bunch of textiles that other mummies that they don't have anymore were, like, packed in and shit.
01:09:25.000Fucking Brian Forrester uploaded a video like 11 years ago of him going on a tour of those tunnels.
01:09:30.000You could pay a guide 20 years ago to go on a tour of those tunnels.
01:09:33.000The Spanish were writing about them in the 1600s and the late 1500s.
01:09:38.000The only reason that we didn't investigate these tunnels is because in the 30s was when archaeology started becoming a thing and going down there and checking out those skulls and shit.
01:09:47.000And at the exact same time, Madame Blavatsky and Edgar Cayce was like, you know, those tunnels that are supposed to be down there, I bet they were built by the Atlanteans.
01:09:55.000And so ever since then, archaeologists have poo-pooed it.
01:09:57.000There was a guy in the 2000s, he's an Atlantis hunter, he did ground-penetrating radar in the early 2000s, found those tunnels, they rejected his work.
01:10:05.000He had a priest that witnessed those tunnels, has been down in them.
01:10:11.000But that's okay, because 25 years later, we found it.
01:10:14.000I promise they didn't steal or sell anything in the last hundred years, that the world knew that these things existed, rich people were going down there and throwing money around, and there was zero safeguards.
01:10:25.000So, to circle back to the aliens there, it's like, I have a real problem with that shit in Peru, because I can't...
01:10:56.000But these x-rays are so compelling that if they are legitimate x-rays, if someone really did just piece this together with a bunch of random bones, what a fantastic job they did because it doesn't look awkward at all.
01:11:22.000But the x-rays that they show, that they say are real, God, they look so cool.
01:11:28.000I mean, you see the three-fingered hands, you see the bones look similar to ours, but different.
01:11:33.000You know, there's enough of it that's similar to a human being's, and it is some sort of a bipedal...
01:11:41.000You know, hominid-like creature, whatever it is.
01:11:46.000And we know, I mean, like, we know that humans existed with a bunch of other hominids on this planet for a long time, so it wouldn't be, like, for us to discover a new species, even if they weren't aliens, wouldn't be crazy.
01:11:58.000If they were, like, way more advanced than us, but they got wiped out.
01:12:03.000That's, you know, there's versions of us that aren't as good as us, that aren't here anymore.
01:12:47.000I'm reading an article about the mummies right now and this popped up.
01:12:50.000Metallic plates have been found throughout other areas of the mummy's bodies from the interior covering some of the bones to external attachments on the skin forming a bifunctional implant with no signs of rejection.
01:13:02.000These polymetallic plates have been analyzed using a light-based measurement revealing an alloy compound of copper, cadmium, osmium.
01:13:52.000The really weird ones were the x-rays of the body in that position where you see all the skull and the way the skull is formed and the way the fingers are formed.
01:14:52.000Like, find one of them things, bring it to America, and let's do a live stream of scientists actually analyzing it so it doesn't get gatekeeped at all.
01:15:37.000I'm not a conspiratorial type of person, but I'm not stupid either, right?
01:15:40.000It's a pretty clear fucking conspiracy there.
01:15:43.000So what was supposedly the synopsis of her article?
01:15:48.000She was just talking about what she found inside of one of those mummy bundles with the elongated skulls and the artifacts that would be in there, the grave goods and stuff.
01:15:56.000The thing about the elongated skulls is that some of them have a larger capacity, which is interesting.
01:16:01.000So it's not simply, like, because we know that there's a technique that they do with young children where they put boards on the side of their heads and they flatten their head.
01:16:16.000The kind of nuanced argument is that some of them were legitimate aliens or other species or whatever, and then some of them were people trying to emulate that with their own kids.
01:16:27.000Right, like that it was a status symbol to have that elongated head, and some people tried to fake it and pretend.
01:16:33.000Maybe it was just a genetic anomaly, right?
01:16:36.000Some sort of bizarre, like we talked about this, the people that are born, there's a certain tribe in Africa where a bunch of them have only two toes, and they look like ostrich feet.
01:17:28.000If you could develop people that were a bunch of them, or it's a gene that can spread, like you can pass it on, that you could have something where people had a larger head and a weird-shaped head.
01:17:40.000If it offered any sort of advantage at all, you know, and you might think, well, how could that be?
01:18:03.000It stands to reason to me that whatever happened that isolated Galapagos and made it a shitty place to try to find food for an iguana, you got one of these iguanas, it's a little mutant McNugget running around, and he's got webbed toes already, and he's like, fuck, man, nobody wants to hang out with me because I look all weird.
01:18:18.000But then this happens, and all of a sudden he's the only guy that can consistently get food.
01:18:55.000Because of the change of the climate there, at one point in time, it was plains, so it was grasslands.
01:19:01.000So you have all these antelope and all these different animals that normally exist in these open, wide areas, but they're jammed into a rainforest now, and they've adapted.
01:19:12.000And one of the animals that adapted is the diker.
01:19:14.000So the diker is a small antelope that can swim underwater for as much as 100 yards and eats fish.
01:19:35.000So this weird adaptation that takes place just in the Congo, which is this incredibly vital environment that so much diversity of life exists in.
01:21:13.000And it's like, whoa, look at that little fucker.
01:21:17.000You get a great example of like, like you probably heard them say that like the dinosaurs get wiped out and allowed mammals the opportunity to take over the planet.
01:21:27.000Like otherwise mammals would have just been a bunch of shrews running around in the grass.
01:22:29.000The mountains that they have in South America where they've got, basically it's like the same as an island where it's like nothing can go down from a certain elevation.
01:22:38.000So like there's a bunch of things that live up in the mountains that are basically evolutionary isolated and have been for 10,000, 20,000 years.
01:23:19.000Like, one of my favorites is the little hobbit man from the island of Flores, because that was dismissed forever.
01:23:25.000That was just nonsense until a couple decades ago.
01:23:28.000They're like, oh, hey, okay, we just found something that's like a little tiny person, a little three-foot person that's not us, you know, but it's bipedal, and it seems to have worked with tools and hunted.
01:23:42.000It's funny how skeptical they get with the stuff.
01:23:45.000Well, it's not even skeptical, it's cynical.
01:24:41.000It's kind of fucked because even though I know that those guys, like I was saying earlier, are socially awkward and probably emotionally stunted quite frequently, can't even suss their own feelings.
01:24:51.000But at the same time, it's like science is the whole fucking expedition, the whole undertaking, the whole reason you do it.
01:25:00.000Is to see clearly, and when trying to get rid of, Joe has an opinion, Jamie has an opinion, Dan has an opinion, they're all different, but if we all see the same thing, we can be pretty sure that this is real.
01:25:11.000But if I see it different than you, than Jamie, well now...
01:25:30.000Truth is the most valuable thing if you're speaking openly about something.
01:25:34.000If you're talking about something publicly, truth is the most important thing.
01:25:37.000As soon as you are willing to violate truth to preserve something else, like your status, your ego, your place in the hierarchy of information, well, now I can't...
01:25:49.000I don't listen to you anymore because I know you're willing to lie.
01:27:25.000If they are trying to say that they, as in the entire federal government, well, I don't think the Trump...
01:27:30.000Well, I guess the Secret Service is a part of the federal government.
01:27:34.000Maybe you can kind of get away with saying that because the Secret Service came down here for Trump and looked around, that we sent someone down.
01:29:02.000But I think it's someone trying to cover their ass for the fact that she never did it, and if she did do it, it might have had a positive effect.
01:29:09.000If her and I had a good time, and we got along great, and she won over, you know, the air quote, young male vote.
01:31:28.000And let's be honest, like, it's the kind of thing that, it's reminiscent of the, forget the congressman that asked Mark Zuckerberg how Facebook makes money.
01:31:36.000It's just like they're so, you're so detached from the modern world.
01:31:39.000It's like you, you can spend millions of dollars on all your ad campaign all across YouTube, or you can just go sit in the room with Joe for three hours, and I'll tell you which one's going to do better for you, lady.
01:31:50.000But she picked the ad campaigns on YouTube.
01:31:52.000The problem is that I think the people that saw it as – they thought they were going to win anyway apparently.
01:31:58.000And the people that saw it as a negative thought like there's been a few blunders where things didn't go well.
01:32:03.000But I think a lot of those blunders are – I was listening to this woman on the Tucker Carlson show and she was talking about what Biden was like during the presidency.
01:32:13.000And one of the things that she said I thought that was very interesting was that – There's many people that worked with Biden that said there were moments in his first couple of years where he was very lucid and that he would be actually running the meetings and he had talking points that were written down, but he was having these lucid conversations.
01:32:33.000And then he would do these public things and he would have blunders.
01:32:36.000I think a lot of it is just the pressure of performing publicly under intense scrutiny.
01:32:42.000Like if you have to do a live set, like say if you have to do Saturday Night Live or something like that, and you're going to do a monologue, the pressure of doing that monologue is so much different than the pressure of just going up at a local comedy club.
01:33:04.000When he is confronted by the reality that half the country hates him and thinks he's doing a terrible job and then he has to talk publicly live, then I think those cognitive problems were sort of elevated.
01:36:27.000But it could have been a wreck with Trump, too.
01:36:29.000You know, like there was a moment where me and Trump were, I was saying, tell me how the 2020 election was stolen.
01:36:37.000Like, and I feel like if you're, for the last four years, have been telling everybody that they robbed you, you should be able to tell people how you know they robbed you, and you should be able to say it.
01:37:14.000You should be able to communicate with people in a way that it's just about what you're talking about.
01:37:20.000It's a shitty tactic to try to break a person down as a human being because you want to enforce your argument or say their argument sucks because they suck as a human being too.
01:38:23.000I was watching one of your videos where there's this person who listened to what Flint Dibble said about Graham Hancock and Atlantis and connecting Atlantis to white supremacy.
01:38:34.000And she made the most distorted statement that's saying that people of color were not capable.
01:38:42.000That this is the argument of the people that support Atlantis.
01:38:44.000People of color, we're not capable of that sort of civilization, which literally no one has ever said.
01:38:50.000Because everybody, especially the people that believe that that area of sub-Saharan Africa, the Reichert.
01:40:53.000They were the ones that started seeing—they're the first ones to see the similarities between these things.
01:40:59.000And so they believed that, you know, ancient Egypt is this technologically superior place.
01:41:04.000And here we've seen the same thing here with similar iconography.
01:41:07.000So— I made a video explaining that the letter that the Society for American Archaeology wrote to Netflix to call Graham Hancock a racist, basically, not call him a racist.
01:41:33.000We use the word comet and Graham talks about a comet and this other guy didn't.
01:41:37.000And it doesn't really matter because so many white supremacists believe this shit anyway.
01:41:41.000And it was just like – at that point, I was kind of like, OK, this isn't science anymore.
01:41:47.000And then I watched him do that waffle and bullshit here where he did it with – when you were pushing him on it and he's like, no, I didn't say that.
01:41:58.000There are so many people that are used to being in a position of authority where they're never questioned like that.
01:42:02.000And they can say that in front of a class or they can say that in front of colleagues and nobody pushes back.
01:42:07.000And then there's also this problem with leftist ideology where if someone – if there is some sort of history at any point in time of white supremacy like that Ignatius Donnelly guy, like you have to connect even everything.
01:42:26.000Attached to the theories of this advanced city, this advanced lost civilization, you have to attach it to white supremacy or you are a racist.
01:42:35.000Or you're enabling, or you're a dog whistling, which is my favorite.
01:43:00.000That's way crazier because whatever Atlantis had, it didn't survive whatever that...
01:43:05.000If that Reichardt structure, if that's really where it is and it was impacted by the Great Flood, by the end of the Younger Dryas, the impact theory, the water from all the polar caps rushes through and destroys everything, giant tsunamis everywhere because of the global cataclysm.
01:43:22.000Okay, well, it wasn't as good because if that's...
01:44:01.000It's just this poo-poo attitude that really, it does them a huge disservice because ultimately the most interested amateurs on the planet would be us, pyramid idiots, guys that are into that kind of goofy shit.
01:44:17.000We're the most interested, just like Carl Sagan knew his audience.
01:44:21.000The most interested people in space were the UFO crowd.
01:44:24.000The most interested people in archaeology are not archaeology students.
01:44:29.000That's their 9 to 5. I'm the one that's reading the shit at 2 o'clock in the morning with the beer in my hand.
01:46:15.000Because he died right or right before COVID happened.
01:46:18.000But he was talking about how PCR should never be used to detect diseases because you could find these tiny...
01:46:24.000They're fragments of a disease, but it doesn't even mean that someone's infected, especially when you're ramping it up to X amount of cycles.
01:48:01.000That wants to go to all the details and stuff and listen, you know, these guys like Fauci get up there and start talking, you know, he doesn't know anything really about anything, and I'd say that to his face.
01:48:12.000The man thinks you can take a blood sample and stick it in an electron microscope, and if it's got a virus in there, you'll know it.
01:48:18.000He doesn't understand electron microscopy, and he doesn't understand medicine, and he should not be in a position like he's in.
01:48:26.000Most of those guys up there on the top are just total...
01:48:29.000Administrative people, and they don't know anything about what's going on at the bottom.
01:48:32.000You know, those guys have got an agenda, which is not what we would like them to have, being that we pay for them to take care of our health in some way.
01:48:42.000They've got a personal kind of agenda.
01:48:45.000They make up their own rules as they go.
01:48:47.000They change them when they want to, and they smugly, like Tony Fauci, does not mind going on television in front of the people who pay his salary and lie directly into the camera.
01:50:45.000What it exposed in this country is that there are a lot of people that are completely full of shit that are in charge of telling us what the truth is.
01:51:05.000It caused so many people to become drug addicts, so many people to commit suicide.
01:51:08.000There's a loss of life and a loss of hope, and who knows what it's going to do to these young children that have had to wear masks when they're in preschool.
01:51:15.000Who knows what the fuck that does to you?
01:51:19.000You're not reading mouths and lips, and you're not getting a full facial feature.
01:51:23.000To read off like built children need for their development We found out that there's a lot of people that just aren't telling you the fucking truth And the crazy thing is they were doing it in the age of the internet because they had been used to doing it for so long They they didn't develop the thing that people have now like now like especially someone like you or I who does stuff on YouTube You know that if you say something and it's not true, you've got to go back and say, hey, this is what I thought.
01:52:12.000This is in 1986. You can't just go and tell us some shit, and we don't know whether or not you said something completely contrary to that just a month ago.
01:52:20.000Yeah, I think that might be part of why Kamala was so worried about the unedited thing.
01:52:25.000You know, when Hillary fainted a few election cycles ago, that video would have never made the news in the 90s.
01:52:32.000They would have just got bought, right?
01:54:07.000And I think that also led to Trump, you know, destroying in the election.
01:54:11.000That probably has a lot to do with it.
01:54:13.000I mentioned before, like, they closed that white elephant store.
01:54:17.000But, like, they closed so many bars in the town.
01:54:20.000Like, I was thrilled that my favorite bar, Mootsie's, is still around.
01:54:25.000But it had a closed sign on it when apparently the plumbing above it leaked.
01:54:30.000And I thought they were gone too because it was closed down for them to fix that in the middle of COVID. And it was just like, God damn it.
01:54:36.000We lost so many things in that town that were just little mom and pop outfits.
01:54:40.000And just comes in and gets replaced with Target.
01:54:45.000And you come to a city like this and you still got little shops that do well, little cafes and whatnot.
01:55:06.000And it didn't have to happen that way.
01:55:07.000And if you want to be real cynical, the people that are the real progressive leftists, you should be cynical about that because it was the biggest transfer of wealth in the history of the United States.
01:55:19.000The lower class, lower and middle class lost $3.9 billion or trillion.
01:55:47.000Like, something happened, and through your policies, you enabled the wealthiest people to get way wealthier and the poorer people to get way poorer.
01:56:18.000So either way, let's be conservative and say it's 3 trillion.
01:56:23.000That's a crazy amount of money that gets transferred and no one is like freaked out that this was by policies and this is by keeping everybody's business shut down.
01:56:31.000You could basically just take over because people still need to buy stuff.
01:56:34.000And then these big companies that people have stock in, the stock goes way up and then everybody gets wealthier.
01:57:36.000I think that just like most activists and most anything, like when you look online and you see a transgender person that's making a complete ass of themselves, that's, generally speaking, not indicative of the way transgender people are, even on the fucking internet, Matt.
01:57:49.000Otherwise, you wouldn't be seeing that person, right?
01:59:07.000Clovis First is the theory that the first people in the Americas came over the Bering Land Bridge like 14,000-15,000 years ago, and they used the Clovis points, and this was the first American humans.
01:59:19.000Before that, there was no people here.
01:59:21.000Now, they started finding sites at 30,000 years old, 25,000 years old, and they started fucking with that narrative, and archaeologists were...
01:59:28.000For the most part, pushing heavily against it.
01:59:31.000There were a few scientists that would make the fines and that they would fight for them.
01:59:36.000Now, one, eventually it's been overturned.
01:59:38.000Now that Clovis First is not the narrative anymore.
01:59:40.000They're not really sure exactly who got here first.
01:59:42.000They know the Burying Land Bridge was part of it, but they also think there was some people probably from the ocean in South America.
01:59:56.000It was so bad that the guy that won it, basically, a site in Chile called Monte Verde was the site that eventually he had a bunch of people there.
02:00:06.000They looked at the site and when they left, they were convinced that that was the end of the debate for all intents and purposes.
02:00:21.000The guy that discovered that site and was excavating it, Tom Dillehay, was living in Chile.
02:00:26.000Under the time that Pinochet was in charge of Chile.
02:00:30.000One of his colleagues, and there's video of this, I use this clip frequently, one of his colleagues called the state newspaper and said Monteverde is a CIA-planted site in order to get him down into Chile.
02:01:58.000Archaeologist Tom Dillehay was instrumental in overturning Clovis First with his excavations at Monte Verde, but this caused him to have his life threatened by his own colleagues.
02:02:07.000His excavations were done in Chile during the reign of the ruthless dictator Pinochet.
02:02:11.000Clovis First was hotly debated amongst archaeologists at the time, and one of them decided to use Pinochet as a means to silence Tom.
02:02:18.000Moved down to Chile during the dictatorship years of Pinochet, so I was opening up anthropology departments, so politically it was difficult at that time.
02:02:28.000And another colleague who sent a letter to the newspaper in Chile, one of the major newspapers, saying that Monteverdi was the creation of the CIA to plant me down there.
02:03:28.000You know, scientific debates happen, and a lot of guys will say, oh, yeah, that Clovis First, it was bad, but we don't usually do that, dude.
02:03:52.000You could read about there's a couple of guys that basically formed a guard and didn't let anything get past that point until eventually the Clovis first thing.
02:04:10.000Max Planck, he was a Nobel Prize winning physicist, and he has Planck's principle, it's known as, and it is science does not progress one discovery at a time, it progresses one funeral at a time.
02:05:01.000But that's where it does frustrate me because if you take that job...
02:05:07.000It's like, okay, if me and you get in a fight, it's aggressive and you get worked up and you get emotional, but if you become a cop, I expect you to fucking know that and roll that shit back.
02:05:20.000And it's the same thing with the scientists.
02:05:22.000I expect you to recognize that and roll that shit back.
02:05:51.000They never want to think that those lectures that they taught, that those were inaccurate and that their whole life, they would be a mockery.
02:05:59.000They really would because those scientists are fucking vicious.
02:07:01.000The whole idea of the truth is what we all should be pursuing.
02:07:06.000And it's just really unfortunate that people are attached to these things that they've said for so long, so much that they're willing to go out of their way to prove someone inaccurate when they are accurate.
02:07:18.000And the Clovis first thing is one of the better examples of that.
02:07:22.000And now that there's irrefutable evidence like the footprints that they found in New Mexico that have seeds in them that are 22 plus thousand years old.
02:08:12.000And now he pointed out that on Easter Island that the platform that the biggest, oldest, whatever, Moai or whatever they're called...
02:08:23.000That platform, the polygonal masonry strongly resembled what he saw in Peru, to the point where he hypothesized that these were connected.
02:08:31.000And this was just mocked by archaeologists for the longest time.
02:08:34.000Now, not only do they have genetic evidence in the form of human DNA, with a solid genetic drift from South America heading out into Polynesia as well, but Easter Island has breadfruit, has ginger, and...
02:09:00.000And what is the oldest habited layers?
02:09:02.000It's like, I want to say like 1,200 or 1,800 years ago.
02:09:07.000It's not real, real old, but it's old enough that like the oldest place that they've excavated and found that the first people, it looks like the first people that showed up there came there.
02:09:16.000From Asia and South America already, they've been connected to both.
02:09:19.000What was the evidence of cocaine and mummies?
02:11:08.000As well as on the hair of several other mummies of the museum, which is significant in that the only source for cocaine and nicotine had at that time been considered to be the cocoa and tobacco plants native to the Americas, and were not thought to have been present in Africa until after Columbus' voyage to the Americas.
02:11:25.000The result was interpreted by theorists and supporters of contacts between pre-Columbian people and ancient Egyptians.
02:11:32.000a proof for their claims the findings are controversial because while other researchers have also detected the presence of cocaine and nicotine in Egyptian mummies to successive analysis of the other groups of Egyptian mummies and human remains failed to fully reproduce Bala Banova's results and some showing positive results only for nicotine but even that is interesting Well, yeah.
02:11:55.000And then the next line actually basically says what I just did.
02:11:58.000After these experiments, even assuming that cocaine was actually found on the mummies, it is possible that this could be contamination.
02:12:04.000It says even assuming that cocaine which actually found the mummies could be Contamination which occurred after discovery of the mummies The same argument could be applied to nicotine But in addition various plants other than tobacco are a source of nicotine and two of these with any Somnifer and Appium Gravill lens Sorry We're known to be used by the ancient Egyptians.
02:12:34.000Okay, so they did have some sort of nicotine plant.
02:12:38.000That was in 92. 2007, researchers in Peru may have also found some.
02:13:09.000It would be fascinating if we actually could prove that somehow or another people from South America had made their way to Egypt and back and forth.
02:13:17.000And another interesting argument for that was always the Olmecs.
02:13:28.000And there's a lot of the arguments that were made by those guys I brought up earlier that were back in the 1860s.
02:13:36.000They were – one of them was big into linguists and linguistics, and he made all these language – Models and stuff as to why Maya was the first or proto-language that all these other ones were built on.
02:13:49.000The other dude was really into iconography.
02:13:51.000I'm sure you've seen some of the symbols that you see around the world, like that girl that's sitting on the lions, the Master of Beasts symbols.
02:14:00.000Things like that, you know, it's not...
02:15:28.000Yeah, that type of iconography of usually a woman, but sometimes a man, all the way back into like Kara Hayek, Turkey, like one of those Gopekli Tepe type of sites, has this symbol.
02:16:32.000And why does that exist all over the world?
02:16:34.000That's really where, like, it's an interesting thing that when you see that kind of iconography, it's not...
02:16:41.000The argument of, well, a nail looks like a nail anywhere because you invented a nail, that falls apart because this is just symbols, right?
02:17:24.000I don't think that they had, like, real high technology, but it wouldn't have taken much technology for them to appear better than their contemporaries.
02:17:33.000And we see evidence for that today, too, which is a really good point.
02:17:36.000People say, how is it possible that the rest of the world could have been so far behind?
02:18:25.000So the idea that this couldn't exist at other parts of the world in the past No, it fucking for sure could.
02:18:31.000By the way, it fucking did in the 1800s when settlers were making their way across the United States.
02:18:37.000The sun never sets on the British Empire was because Europe was hop, skip and a jump ahead of the rest of the world when it came to sailing and conquering people.
02:18:48.000And that's, I mean, you can argue about whether that's good or bad or whatever.
02:19:24.000A natural function of how human beings adapt to their environment.
02:19:27.000And it seems that the Nile Valley in Egypt was an abundant, rich environment that had so much resources that allowed those people to stay there and thrive for thousands of years.
02:19:38.000And if you think of the area being a green Sahara, and then it slowly gets smaller, that Nile Delta would explain that concentration of people and ideas and stuff, because you've got what was once spread out across a large area being all shoved together.
02:19:53.000I'm making almost a proto-city type of thing or whatever.
02:19:57.000Yeah, I'm of the opinion that whatever the lost civilization was, I'm of the opinion that they were really good at seafaring, which made that they were really good at astronomy.
02:20:06.000And I put to myself, I think that like the handbag symbol, I think that that's a symbol of their ability to, I think like...
02:20:15.000That it is a symbol for a day, like we were talking about before on that pillar, Gobekli Tepe, that there's three of those handbags, and he says each one is actually a sunrise.
02:21:23.000They were the ones that when they would show up, they would have the same teamwork, the same ability to work with ropes and all that shit they could use to move megaliths.
02:21:33.000The same mathematics or an extension of it.
02:21:37.000It's the kind of thing that would be easier for them to move a big rock with a team of guys that have worked together working on boats than it would be for them to move a big rock with a team of people who have never done anything like that before.
02:21:48.000And that would also explain why a lot of times these are lined up with stars and shit like that because astronomy would be very important to them.
02:21:54.000So that's – I do think that there was a lost civilization.
02:21:57.000I mean even simple shit like the bow and arrow in all honesty.
02:22:00.000If you think about how complicated that would be to effectively create all the way.
02:22:04.000It's easy for a dude to figure out the tension, but building a flight and an arrow that's weighted, it's way different than a spear, it's being launched from the back, not the center, so you can't just transfer it over.
02:22:15.000This is requiring multiple people over multiple generations, in my opinion.
02:22:20.000The fact that we see it all over the fucking planet, it says something.
02:22:54.000Because the concept of if these mummies that show cocaine really are proof that somehow or another someone came from the Americas with cocaine and made their way to Egypt, boy, that throws the whole thing.
02:23:06.000It throws a monkey wrench into the whole gears of our timeline of civilization.
02:24:23.000Horopolo in hieroglyphica that it was traditional to allow water to drain out of a hole in the baboon's genitalia because the baboon apparently cries and urinates 12 times a day on the equinoxes.
02:24:37.000So you just force-feed water into a baboon to figure out what time it is?
02:24:48.000Regardless of the exact reason, the hole was indeed sometimes placed at the end of the baboon's penis.
02:24:55.000Model non-functional versions of the water clock often mimic the shape of the hieroglyph itself, similar to the ma'at figurine and may have been used in offering rituals.
02:25:05.000See if you can find one of those figurines.
02:25:08.000So that's a water clock built on the idea and the water clock, the water comes out of the baboon's penis.
02:25:15.000And I know that the ancient Egyptians like...
02:25:19.000Would measure time during the evening hours with water clocks like that.
02:25:24.000They would have people tasked with keeping time for the area.
02:25:44.000Right below that pillar they're showing, I think someone else has explained to us that those are like, they think that's the time, like calendar, those are days or months or something like that.
02:25:55.000So what Dr. Martin Swetman thinks is those three handbags there are three of the cardinal points, like two equinoxes and one solstice, I think, and then the condor down there holding the...
02:26:10.000He believes that's Sagittarius and that it's basically denoting...
02:26:18.000That the fourth cardinal point of the year and that all those other marks add up to the squares are a month, the V's are days, and at the end of it, according to his interpretation, it's what he thinks of.
02:26:30.000It's a recording of the time that the asteroid hit, the Younger Dryas impact.
02:28:12.000One of them famously or infamously to me, because I drag him for it frequently, said, if it looks like a duck, if it walks like a duck, well, I hope you understand.
02:28:20.000And it's like, well, I understand between us talking, but I do not fucking understand that for a scientist.
02:28:45.000Well, it's also really interesting in regards to Gobekli Tepe that they've essentially put a giant halt on the amount of excavations being done there.
02:28:54.000And they've even planted trees over the areas that have not been excavated yet.
02:29:24.000The government comes like 10 years later and tells them that they're going to buy it.
02:29:28.000And it's just like if you're, like, if the government's going to build a highway, it doesn't matter how much you paid for your home, it doesn't matter what you got on your property, they're going to come and look at it, and they have an equation for them, and that's all that matters.
02:29:40.000If swimming pool's not on that form, fucking swimming pool doesn't get paid for.
02:30:11.000But anyway, since Jim is fucking hated by these guys, it doesn't matter.
02:30:17.000There is tons of documentation on the problems with having tree roots above a site, all the way from contamination with different microbes to they use a certain species of snail in Europe to determine certain dates.
02:30:30.000Tree roots that punch right through that shit introduce that snail to places it shouldn't be, right?
02:30:38.000If one of those enclosures at Gobekli Tepe is filled with water or had a well in it, all those roots are screaming down that thing and just blowing it to shit.
02:31:46.000Like you were saying earlier, I remember—it drives me nuts because I can't find the— But I remember seeing it years ago of Graham talking to somebody and the guy saying, show me the civilization.
02:32:00.000Yeah, that was with Zawi Hawass and there was another archaeologist, the guy with glasses.
02:33:30.000That's one thing it's been pushed back on a lot, but it does look like – there's papers published both ways, but it does look like – last I saw, it does look like the consensus is it was buried deliberately.
02:33:43.000The sides of the hill would like collapse into the thing and so that they would just eventually just kind of push some more of it in there and just level it out so they could use the area because it was a bunch of holes in the ground.
02:33:54.000You couldn't walk your donkeys over or anything.
02:34:54.000Where the rubber hits the road is when he starts saying, he'll show like pictures of like old school anthropological models of proto-humans that are real dark skin and big hair coming out and looking half monkey, half man.
02:35:08.000And then he'll say there's no way that this could come from the same stock and then show like a little six-year-old Danish girl with perfect fucking big blue eyes.
02:35:16.000And this is this kind of constant digs at...
02:35:23.000Africans, not out of Africa, but at Africa, all these different species bred with different hominids, and these guys bred with the stupid ones, and these other guys bred with smart ones, and these guys bred with strong ones.
02:35:35.000It's racist, for lack of a better term.
02:35:40.000It might not even be what you would consider white supremacist, but it's definitely...
02:36:39.000If you have somebody that's complaining about a trans activist, the one that's screaming, call me ma'am, that's what they're trying to say Graham is.
02:37:07.000Like I said, I didn't even want to mention his name, and I know I'm going to get people yelling at me about saying that, but the stuff that he puts out is very clearly...
02:37:14.000Again, if you take it all on board, you would be a racist.
02:37:18.000If you were to just accept it all, you'd be like, well, that guy's black.
02:38:51.000And what's interesting is it does talk about that in Atlantis.
02:38:54.000Can you scroll up a little, Jeremy, so I can read that?
02:38:56.000It says, today, most scholars agree that orcalium is a brass-like alloy which was made in antiquity by cementation.
02:39:05.000The process was achieved with the reaction of zinc ore, charcoal, and copper metal in a crucible.
02:39:12.000Analyzed by x-ray fluorescence by Dario Panetta of TQ Technologies for Quality, the 39 ingots turned to be an alloy made with 75-80% copper, 15-20% zinc, and small percentages of nickel, lead, and iron.
02:39:32.000What would be the benefit of that alloy?
02:39:35.000It was considered beautiful like gold, but cheaper and easier to get.
02:39:44.000It was found and mined in many parts of legendary Atlantis in ancient times.
02:39:50.000They said that the temple walls in Atlantis were supposed to have been covered with that stuff.
02:39:55.000But that's where, you know, myself, and I know this...
02:39:59.000I think that there's a really good chance that a lot of the evidence that we have, a lot of the written records, the myths and stuff of Atlantis, I think a lot of that's going to have a cultural infusion so heavy into it that a lot of the details will get lost and you could almost just be like there was a civilization that was more advanced than the people that wrote about them and that's almost all you could take away sometimes.
02:41:06.000That oricalium has similar color and shine as gold fits well with the properties of brass.
02:41:11.000While brass is not exactly a precious metal, it does not corrode and is widely used on jewelry, marine instruments, and medical instruments.
02:41:18.000Goldsmiths and jewelers describe brass as mahogany of metals.
02:41:21.000Wasn't that device, I don't remember how to say the word.
02:41:40.000And as I've said numerous times, I think that if it didn't look so clunky when they found it, I don't think that we'd have it.
02:41:46.000I think it ended up on some rich guy's shelf because it's way too fucking cool.
02:41:50.000But they looked at it and they're just like, I don't know, there's like a mass of metal with like some gear frozen to it or I don't know, it's all corroded shit.
02:41:57.000Then they bring it up and hand it off and you say, oh, fuck me!
02:44:20.000That's the other thing that's really gross about the whole shipwreck dismissal, is that these ships were made out of wood, the wood would be gone.
02:44:26.000This idea that it would all be preserved because of cold water, there's no evidence of that.
02:44:29.000There's evidence of things that are like 600 years old, 1,000 years old.
02:44:32.000As soon as you get older than that, you get nothing but the pottery and the jewelry on the floor of the ocean, right?
02:46:32.000Flint was sitting here with Graham talking to you, and there was the opportunity for him to say, We do need to do more investigation, Graham.
02:46:42.000I completely agree with you, which is why I think we need to get some people out there to do some underwater archaeology.
02:46:49.000He could be drumming up fucking business.
02:46:51.000And then, at the very least, even if he looked down his nose at everything Graham had to say, the cheddar comes in, the investigations happen, and everybody's happy.
02:47:08.000Instead, they're closing his fucking department.
02:47:10.000I mean, dude, to me, it's just such a—I mean, it might not necessarily be directly related, but he had an opportunity that he completely didn't just piss it away.
02:47:19.000He just drove it into the ground, did the opposite of what he should have done with it.
02:47:23.000And they do that— As a matter of course, Jimmy Corsetti brought up once about a year ago on Twitter, he's like, oh yeah, you know, I think the Nephilim in the Bible, it talks about the giants, the Nephilim, I think maybe that might be an extinct species of hominid.
02:48:48.000Maybe we got tired of them raiding our villages, and they couldn't figure out weapons because they were so big they never had to.
02:48:53.000If we do know that they're just tiny hobbit people, why wouldn't we assume that, look, if the tallest humans are like, what's the tallest guy ever?
02:49:10.000If we find out that there was Little Hobbit people, and if we find out there was Denisovans, and what's those big-headed people that they found, we were talking about it, they found in China, the extra-large skulls?
02:50:16.000cousins of the Denisovans and Neanderthals that once lived alongside homo sapiens in Eastern Asia more than a hundred thousand years ago.
02:50:23.000The brains of these extinct humans who probably hunted horses and small groups were much bigger than any other hominin of their time including our own species." Yeah.
02:51:57.000And they would send these letters back being like, or the newspaper that this guy discovered these big giant bones and they're bringing them back.
02:52:07.000The skeptical person I am, I'm of the opinion that this was more of an announcement to the people back east that, hey, if these things happen to get stolen along the way and I happen to find a bunch of money along the way, now's your chance because once they get to the Smithsonian boys, they're theirs.
02:53:15.000I mean, and that's where all the, not all, but that's where a lot of the cool stuff is.
02:53:18.000But you go to a place like that, it's like, your boy up in Alaska finds a spot, and because it's not human remains, he can do whatever the fuck he wants.
02:53:27.000If those were native remains, it'd be a different story.
02:53:29.000And, like, he's pulling cash out of that.
02:53:34.000Guys in other countries where they don't even have enough to feed—I mean, look at how the Dead Sea Scrolls were found, right?
02:53:39.000They just buy them off of fucking little kids and shit, right?
02:53:43.000Like, the kids throw rocks up there, and then they find them, and then the dudes—the first ones were bought from the kids that found them.
02:54:57.000But one of the things I did want to ask you is one of the wackier theories that I read online was that there was a discovery of some sort of an Egyptian temple in the Grand Canyon.
02:56:50.000If there's power involved, they're just going to kick that can.
02:56:54.000Especially if somehow or another you could show that those people profited from that power and then that family has inherited that money and they'd be held liable.
