582: COMPILATION: Pyramids, Mounds and Mountains

Speaker 1 When the holidays start to feel a bit repetitive, reach for a Sprite Winter Spice Cranberry and put your twist on tradition.

Speaker 4 It's a refreshing way to shake things up this sip in season and only for a limited time.

Speaker 7 Sprite, obey your thirst.

Speaker 8 Hey, thanks for clicking on a compilation. I just learned that a lot of people watch these to help them fall asleep.
So I'm going to choose to take that as a compliment.

Speaker 8 But I am working on a sleepy time compilation specifically made for those of you who can't seem to stay awake.

Speaker 6 I could barely stay awake for some of these.

Speaker 13 Yeah, well, that's not entirely my fault.

Speaker 6 Yeah, what's with the new setup? Are we doing the show from here now? Because my contract specifically says...

Speaker 8 Relax, we're not doing the show from in here.

Speaker 9 It's, I haven't done the afterfiles in a long time, and some people thought that I'm just not...

Speaker 16 streaming anymore.

Speaker 8 But the truth is we're doing construction in the studio and my streaming station is dismantled.

Speaker 6 Yeah, likely story.

Speaker 8 So last compilation was all about stories that happened below ground. Today we're going to do stories that happen above ground, like way above ground.
We're talking mountains, pyramids.

Speaker 6 Oh, oh, are we going to talk about Mount Hayes?

Speaker 20 We are.

Speaker 22 Mount mother haze.

Speaker 23 Watch your mouth.

Speaker 8 First up is episode 58, which is about Mount Shasta. And a lot of weird things happen on Mount Shasta.
And but my favorite story is probably the one involving the robot grandma, who, uh...

Speaker 19 Well, I don't want to spoil it.

Speaker 6 It is poop involved.

Speaker 27 There it is.

Speaker 8 It's a short episode. I'll see you when you get back.

Speaker 30 If you follow this channel, you know that many of these videos come from your suggestions.

Speaker 33 And I get emails all the time from people who want content about UFOs.

Speaker 37 Others want lost cities, strange disappearances, or lazy people,

Speaker 23 reptilian humanoids.

Speaker 8 Today, we fulfill all these requests in one video.

Speaker 38 There is no other place on Earth steeped in more mystery than Mount Shasta.

Speaker 31 Aliens, ghosts, underground bases, interdimensional portals.

Speaker 13 Mount Shasta has it all.

Speaker 40 Let's find out why.

Speaker 23 As you approach Mount Shasta, the first thing you notice is how absolutely out of place it is.

Speaker 13 Though it's one of the tallest peaks in North America, it's not directly connected to any other mountains.

Speaker 11 It stands alone and seems to leap off the landscape.

Speaker 18 At over 14,000 feet above sea level, Mount Shasta is so tall and steep that it pierces the clouds and creates its own weather.

Speaker 32 Located in Northern California, Mount Shasta is actually a semi-active volcano.

Speaker 36 Its last major eruption was in 1250, but as recently as last year, Mount Shasta was oozing lava that caused several fires in the surrounding forest.

Speaker 46 And just about every type of paranormal event you can think of converges at Mount Shasta.

Speaker 24 UFO sightings, mysterious disappearances, lost cities, ghosts, gods, everything. Mount Shasta legends exist in every culture that's lived in its shadow, including the first cultures.

Speaker 24 Native tribes have inhabited the area for over 10,000 years, making it one of the longest occupied areas in North America.

Speaker 13 And each tribe has a myth about the mountain.

Speaker 24 Some tribes say Mount Shasta is the sacred center of the universe.

Speaker 33 Others say the mountain is the birthplace of all life.

Speaker 11 Now, as different as these stories are, there is one theme found in every native legend.

Speaker 35 You do not go above the tree line.

Speaker 37 That area is reserved for the sky people.

Speaker 43 Not far from Mount Shasta is Petroglyph Point, which has some of the oldest stone writing ever found in North America, dating back thousands of years.

Speaker 24 And the glyphs depict the types of things you'd expect to see.

Speaker 33 Animals, rivers, the sun, stars.

Speaker 40 But there are also carvings of what some people believe are sky people.

Speaker 36 Native tribes believed that the sky people were spiritual beings who existed in a different realm, a plane of existence where souls and spirits of the dead dwell.

Speaker 36 But what if the sky people aren't spirits of the dead, but are actually beings that are very much alive, just

Speaker 8 not human?

Speaker 36 There are Native American legends that describe a race of giants that live on Mount Shasta.

Speaker 13 The Modoc have the Matagagmi, which are said to be the keepers of the woods.

Speaker 36 Could these ancient people be describing Bigfoot? Matagagme is the Modoc word for Bigfoot, and and it's similar to the Tibetan word Metogangmi, which is their word for Yeti.

Speaker 6 Hey, how do ancient Indians in Tibet end up with the same word for Bigfoot? Well, there would have to be some kind of land bridge between India and America.

Speaker 33 Wait a minute. You're getting way ahead of me on this one, pal.

Speaker 6 Are we gonna talk about?

Speaker 8 We are.

Speaker 11 Since at least the 1920s, people have claimed to see tall creatures roaming the forests around Mount Shasta.

Speaker 33 In 1976, a camper thought a park ranger was investigating his camp, but upon closer inspection, it was a Bigfoot.

Speaker 46 Another famous account happened in 1962 when a hiker claimed to have seen a female Bigfoot giving birth.

Speaker 6 Ooh, that sounds messy.

Speaker 39 It does.

Speaker 6 A lot of hot water and towels. Right, I get it.
Because if a Bigfoot is giving birth, oh boy, that's gonna be a lot of fun.

Speaker 8 I said, I get it.

Speaker 11 In 1930, a humanoid skeleton that was over eight feet tall was discovered near Mount Shasta.

Speaker 8 And this wasn't a fringe report.

Speaker 35 It was covered by major newspapers all over the area.

Speaker 13 And native legends say the race of giants prospered on the earth for thousands of years but were suddenly wiped out in a great flood.

Speaker 6 It always ends with a great flood, doesn't it?

Speaker 40 Every time.

Speaker 33 But there is an interpretation of this legend that claims the giants of the woods are not Bigfoot.

Speaker 36 They're a race of people called Lemurians.

Speaker 23 And that brings us to the fascinating story of J.C.

Speaker 36 Brown.

Speaker 24 He's considered the first person to find the lost civilization of Lemuria.

Speaker 38 But his story takes a mysterious turn.

Speaker 38 In 1904, J.C.

Speaker 13 Brown was working as a geologist for a gold mining operation, and he was sent to Mount Shasta to look for gold.

Speaker 13 During one of Brown's expeditions, he came across a rock fall that looked like something could be buried underneath.

Speaker 35 And when he cleared the rubble, he discovered the entrance to a cave that disappeared into the darkness for what looked like forever.

Speaker 23 Brown hiked the length of the tunnel, which turned out to be 11 miles long.

Speaker 40 And that may sound crazy, but Mount Shasta is a volcano, and the entire area around the mountain is a network of lava tubes.

Speaker 31 Lava tubes can be huge and stretch miles underground.

Speaker 18 And when JC Brown reached the end of the tunnel, he found what he described as the remains of an ancient city.

Speaker 23 He found machinery long abandoned that looked like it was used in a mining operation.

Speaker 41 He found statues, tablets, shields, and weapons all made of gold and all inscribed with hieroglyphics.

Speaker 31 He found what he called a worship room with statues that seemed to glow in the dark.

Speaker 18 And the final chamber of the cave system was a tomb where 27 giant skeletons were arranged, and they ranged in height from 7 feet to over 10 feet tall.

Speaker 35 Unsure of what to do, J.C.

Speaker 30 Brown covered the entrance to the cave and told no one about it.

Speaker 41 But over the next few years, Brown became obsessed with a book by James Churchward called The Lost Continent of Mew and by stories of Lemuria, which he thought could be the same thing.

Speaker 29 Lemuria, according to the legend, was an entire continent that sunk beneath the ocean many thousands of years ago.

Speaker 24 Well, it's funny you should say that.

Speaker 40 Turns out Lemuria Lemuria and Atlantis are connected.

Speaker 41 In 1899, Frederick Spencer Oliver published a book called A Dweller on Two Planets, which tells an amazing story that was found written on ancient Hindu tablets.

Speaker 35 Over a million years ago, the Earth was ruled by two very advanced civilizations, the Atlanteans and the Lemurians.

Speaker 33 And both cultures had technology that far exceeds our own. Atlantis was the dominant culture, and for many years it was benevolent.

Speaker 41 But about 25,000 years ago, Atlantis became corrupt and wanted to rule all people on the Earth.

Speaker 33 Lemurians rejected this idea and wanted to be left alone.

Speaker 40 And after much internal conflict, Atlantis decided to go to war with the Lemurians.

Speaker 35 And for years, the two mighty civilizations deployed devastating nuclear weapons against each other.

Speaker 13 The explosions were so violent that they caused the Earth's tectonic plates to become unstable and the magnetic poles to shift.

Speaker 24 Finally, a massive flood tore across the planet and laid waste to both civilizations.

Speaker 11 In all, 60 million Lemurians died.

Speaker 35 Atlantis suffered severe losses as well.

Speaker 33 The few surviving Atlanteans evacuated to Agarta, an underground city that we'll be covering on this channel.

Speaker 18 The last remaining Lemurians fled to Mount Shasta and established a city called Telos.

Speaker 43 And what's amazing is, there's a Hawaiian legend that says the islands of Hawaii were once part of a vast continent called New, also known as Lemuria.

Speaker 30 Once JC Brown learned of these stories, he was convinced that he had found the lost civilization of Lemuria under Mount Shasta.

Speaker 13 So he decided, now 30 years later, it was time to go back to the mountain.

Speaker 38 And when J.C.

Speaker 36 Brown returned to Mount Shasta, he put together a search party to help him rediscover Lemuria.

Speaker 18 Brown had assembled a group of 80 researchers, scientists, and explorers.

Speaker 31 And after a thousand years of legend, Lemuria was about to be proven real.

Speaker 13 Newspapers widely covered the story, and the excitement around the adventure was palpable.

Speaker 33 Then, on the morning that the expedition was set to begin, JC Brown didn't show.

Speaker 34 People combed every tavern, every street, every inn looking for him, but they would find no trace.

Speaker 31 JC Brown had vanished and was never heard from again.

Speaker 30 Explanations for JC Brown's disappearance covered everything.

Speaker 23 Some said he was simply a fraud, though he never took a penny from anyone.

Speaker 29 Others said a secret but powerful organization learned of Brown's plans and had him erased.

Speaker 32 Yep, but a few others were convinced that JC Brown no longer needed a search party to find Lemuria, that he had been granted access and taken there by some mysterious machine.

Speaker 33 And to hear descriptions of this machine, it sounds like a vehicle or a UFO.

Speaker 8 Right.

Speaker 23 And there have been UFO sightings around Mount Shasta going back over a hundred years.

Speaker 34 And in recent years, sightings are accelerating.

Speaker 13 Of the top 300 UFO hotspots in the world, Mount Shasta is ranked 13th.

Speaker 11 People have seen chrome objects hovering above dark mountain roads.

Speaker 38 Others report lights moving in formation, silently swarming the peak, and then disappear.

Speaker 33 One of the most widely reported UFO sightings happened in 2008. Residents said they saw what looked like a giant glowing jellyfish hovering over the mountain.

Speaker 30 Eyewitnesses said it made no noise, but it seemed to have a fire raging inside of it.

Speaker 24 Now, unfortunately, there are no photos from this sighting, but just last year, someone captured this footage.

Speaker 58 This happened.

Speaker 28 I'm sorry.

Speaker 59 What is that? It's a passenger on the

Speaker 24 And what makes Mount Shasta UFOs really strange is that they don't just hover around the mountain.

Speaker 46 People have seen them fly into the mountain. And they don't mean they flew into an opening in the mountain.

Speaker 23 Every single person said the UFOs flew into the side of the mountain and just vanished into the rock.

Speaker 13 And it's been said that Mount Shasta is hiding an energy vortex that allows passage into another dimension.

Speaker 51 Locals believe the UFOs hide in the clouds and enter the mountain through some kind of portal.

Speaker 18 But that begs the question, a portal to where?

Speaker 18 For decades, eyewitnesses have seen strange beings in Mount Shasta's caves that seem to have the ability to walk through walls. They just vanish.

Speaker 36 And it's not just these strange beings that disappear on Mount Shasta.

Speaker 18 It's one of the most active hotspots in North America for mysterious disappearances.

Speaker 24 In 2011, a young couple was camping on Mount Shasta with their three-year-old son.

Speaker 35 Suddenly, the boy's parents looked up and their son was gone.

Speaker 45 They immediately called the authorities and a massive search went on for five hours.

Speaker 36 Then, a sheriff's deputy heard a quiet voice coming from a bush not far from the campsite.

Speaker 36 This was odd because dozens of trained search and rescue professionals had combed every inch of this area multiple times and found nothing.

Speaker 23 But the boy was found unharmed, so this was called a successful operation, and that was pretty much the end of it.

Speaker 35 It wasn't until a few weeks later when the story would take a mysterious turn. The boy was talking to his grandmother, who he called Grandma Cappy, about the incident.

Speaker 43 He said he liked this Grandma Cappy better than the other Grandma Cappy who found him in the woods.

Speaker 8 Yeah.

Speaker 35 The boy's mother was upset by this.

Speaker 40 What other Grandma Cappy?

Speaker 44 The boy said the other Grandma Cappy had taken him to a cave in the woods, and there were other people there too who were just frozen in place.

Speaker 18 And this new grandma seemed nice enough, but then she wanted to examine the boy and for some reason she asked him to defecate on a piece of paper.

Speaker 10 Did he?

Speaker 30 No, he said he couldn't go.

Speaker 6 Yeah, I'm a shy pooper too.

Speaker 33 But it gets even stranger. Grandma Cappy said that just a few weeks earlier, she was camping in the same area when she blacked out.

Speaker 33 Then she woke up face down in the dirt and noticed she had a strange puncture wound on the back of her neck.

Speaker 13 She said she was violently ill and thought it was some kind of spider bite.

Speaker 16 She was camping with a friend who also had a similar wound and was also terribly sick.

Speaker 44 DNA extraction. Well, that's one theory.

Speaker 23 And Grandma Cappy said she's never gone to that mountain again.

Speaker 8 Then there's the story of Carl Landers.

Speaker 24 In 1999, Landers, along with two friends, set out to hike to the summit of Mount Shasta.

Speaker 31 And along the trail, Landers just vanished.

Speaker 41 He didn't wander off. He didn't cry for help.

Speaker 35 He was just gone. And it's not like he disappeared into the woods or fell down a hole.

Speaker 42 There was good visibility for over 100 yards.

Speaker 32 Landers vanished in a wide open field.

Speaker 23 And he was an experienced hiker who knew this terrain extremely well.

Speaker 33 Yet, somehow, he disappeared off the mountain without a trace.

Speaker 38 And for a week, a huge manhunt searched every inch of the area.

Speaker 13 The National Guard even sent helicopters equipped with infrared sensors.

Speaker 40 Nothing was found.

Speaker 8 No equipment, no clothing, no body. All gone.

Speaker 30 To this day, there is no explanation for what happened.

Speaker 13 So what's going on at Mount Shasta?

Speaker 24 Can we use logic and science to explain these mysteries?

Speaker 33 Well, it's difficult to explain ancient native legends because we have no evidence to support or refute the stories.

Speaker 29 Since the legends have been passed down over several thousand years, not only is it possible, but it's likely that these stories evolved over time.

Speaker 23 I mean, who can resist adding a little drama to make a story seem more mystical?

Speaker 35 I'm guilty of doing it on this channel.

Speaker 33 Mount Shasta isn't a very active volcano now, but it's erupted many times in the past, and human settlements were present during those eruptions.

Speaker 24 When native tribes described Mount Shasta as the home of a god who throws flaming rocks at his enemies, we could certainly see that these ancients were trying to make sense of what they saw.

Speaker 37 And when American Indians spoke of giants, did they really mean Bigfoot?

Speaker 38 It's not clear.

Speaker 24 There isn't much reporting of Bigfoot until 1924 when a few gold prospectors came back from an expedition talking about how they were attacked by giant ape men who threw boulders at their camp.

Speaker 40 And the story caught fire and grabbed so much attention that park rangers launched a full investigation.

Speaker 42 What they found didn't impress them.

Speaker 35 They said the boulders were actually just large rocks and looked like they were placed there by the men, and there were supposedly Bigfoot tracks in the area.

Speaker 35 But when the rangers looked closely at the tracks, it was clear they were made by one of the miners using his knuckles and the palm of his hand.

Speaker 33 Still, there's no stopping a viral story and the legend of Bigfoot was born.

Speaker 13 But what about these portals that seem to swallow people whole?

Speaker 16 Is there any science to support the phenomenon that two points in space can be joined by nothing but energy?

Speaker 43 Turns out, there is.

Speaker 64 Being diagnosed with multiple myeloma was life-changing for both me and my family.

Speaker 66 When my body stopped responding to treatment, I began searching for other options.

Speaker 68 This led me to CAR T-cell therapy.

Speaker 72 a personalized treatment that's made from my own blood cells, which are then genetically modified to find and attack cancer cells.

Speaker 76 If your multiple myeloma treatment isn't working or your cancer has come back, learn more about CAR T cell therapy at discovercar T.com.

Speaker 24 In 2013, NASA discovered a phenomenon called an X-Point.

Speaker 35 X-Points are places where the magnetic field of the Earth is directly connected to the magnetic field of the sun.

Speaker 38 This is an uninterrupted path of energetic particles leading from our planet all the way to our star, 93 million miles away.

Speaker 57 Another study confirmed these portals and found some of them are short-lived, opening and closing very quickly, but others are stable for long periods of time.

Speaker 30 Now, obviously, we can't use these portals to travel.

Speaker 36 Yet.

Speaker 8 Yet.

Speaker 16 But there is science to support that the Earth is magnetically tethered to the sun. And the magnetism around Mount Shasta is highly unusual.

Speaker 16 The entire area is blanketed by an enormous negative magnetic anomaly.

Speaker 33 Could this area of strong magnetism be creating ruptures in space that cause people to disappear?

Speaker 42 Well, that's a stretch, but if some kind of electromagnetic event were to occur, there are few places on Earth better suited than Mount Shasta.

Speaker 35 Now, the story of the missing boy who suddenly reappeared five hours later, that's true.

Speaker 11 The part about his grandma Cappy and the puncture in her neck, that came from someone claiming to be her posting her story on the internet, so I don't know.

Speaker 32 And the boy's parents conveniently want to remain anonymous.

Speaker 18 But Carl Landers really did disappear without a trace, as have many people on Mount Shasta.

Speaker 24 Now most of the time, missing hikers are discovered not far from their last known position, usually dead from injuries from a fall.

Speaker 32 But it's worth acknowledging that there are plenty, I mean lots, of people who just vanish with no explanation.

Speaker 33 Weather around Mount Shasta is highly unusual and creates what's known as lenticular cloud formations.

Speaker 13 Lenticular clouds look like giant UFOs, but they're they're just clouds.

Speaker 38 As for what looks like flying spacecraft hovering around and disappearing into the mountains, we'd be silly to discount those reports.

Speaker 30 Even our own government is finally admitting there are objects zipping around the planet that just can't be explained.

Speaker 35 So what about J.C. Brown and Lemuria?

Speaker 38 Well, the J.C. Brown story is a great one, but it might be debunked.

Speaker 56 In 2017, a researcher named Stephen Sendoni tracked down a man named John Benjamin Bodie, a mining engineer who retired in Mount Shasta.

Speaker 29 And Bode had worked for the Lord Cowderay Mining Company, which was also JC Brown's employer.

Speaker 37 And Bodhi lived right across the street from where JC Brown had given daily lectures on Lemuria and the lost city of Telos.

Speaker 33 This may not be definitive proof that JC Brown was a hoax, but it's pretty compelling research. And I should note that Sindoni is not a debunker.

Speaker 36 He's a hollow Earth researcher who's been on countless TV and radio shows discussing how the Earth is hollow and home to alien civilizations that live right under our feet.

Speaker 43 And speaking of Hollow Earth, what about Lemuria?

Speaker 30 Is it hiding inside Mount Shasta?

Speaker 33 I think Lemuria is the best legend about Mount Shasta.

Speaker 40 And I'm not the only one.

Speaker 34 Entire religions have been built around the Lemuria story.

Speaker 38 In the 1930s, Guy Ballard, a mining engineer, was exploring Mount Shasta.

Speaker 33 He said he was met by a young man named the Count of Saint Germain.

Speaker 11 And Count Saint-Germain is a legend in paranormal history.

Speaker 35 He's supposedly immortal and shows up during all kinds of historical events.

Speaker 23 There's even an account of him being present at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, where where he actually gave a speech.

Speaker 35 And we're going to do a whole video on Saint-Germain.

Speaker 38 He deserves more attention.

Speaker 11 But anyway, Ballard and his wife Edna claim to be the sole messengers of Saint Germain and other ascended masters, as they're called.

Speaker 11 And the Ballards began giving public lectures on Saint-Germain's teachings and eventually had grown the I Am activity movement to over a million followers.

Speaker 40 Oh, it's not.

Speaker 46 And after Ballard passed away in 1971, most of the IM members left a religion, but it's still around.

Speaker 43 You can visit the IM Reading Room right now in Mount Shasta City.

Speaker 11 And Lemoria and Atlantis were nothing more than stories for hundreds, even thousands of years.

Speaker 18 But with the discoveries like Bimini Road in the Bahamas and the Yanaguni Monument off the coast of Japan, we have to start wondering if these myths weren't myths at all, but actual places.

Speaker 38 Skeptics will say Bimini and Yanaguni are natural formations, but I'll put the pictures up for you to decide.

Speaker 30 To me, Bimini Road is iffy.

Speaker 16 I lean toward man-made, but I can see the other side of the argument.

Speaker 13 But Yanaguni, that looks 100% man-made to me, so what if?

Speaker 38 Mount Shasta has captured the imagination of people around the world for centuries, and those who visit often say the mountain call to them.

Speaker 18 I think it's fair to say that if you're the type of person who goes to a place expecting to have a spiritual or a supernatural experience, there's a good chance you'll have one.

Speaker 23 The mind is a powerful thing.

Speaker 11 But as long as you're not starting religions based on this, I don't think there's anything wrong with believing what others say is a crazy theory.

Speaker 18 Our civilization's greatest leaps forward come from heretics who dare to challenge the status quo.

Speaker 37 From mavericks and dissenters have come scientific discoveries that altered the course of history and forced even the most ardent skeptics to wonder, what if?

Speaker 32 What if there was an ancient civilization that sunk beneath the ocean?

Speaker 35 And what if the children of those people are here now, just waiting for our own civilization to catch up?

Speaker 24 Waiting for us to emerge from our selfish adolescence so we can join a larger community.

Speaker 18 One that exists only for scientific discovery, artistic expression, and spiritual enlightenment.

Speaker 41 Now, I admit it sounds like fantasy, but when we stop asking what if, civilization dies.

Speaker 18 But as long as there are heretics and mavericks and dissenters, we have a chance. And if you're one of those, keep asking what if.

Speaker 57 Everyone on on Earth, whether they know it or not, is counting on you.

Speaker 8 So there are a few new stories since I released that episode about Mount Shasta.

Speaker 24 So if you want me to do a part two, just let me know in the comments.

Speaker 8 Yeah, well, hello.

Speaker 6 We're not going to address the elephant in the room.

Speaker 108 What elephant in the room? You. Yeah.

Speaker 8 Yes, I recorded that episode during COVID when I gained a few pounds, but I wasn't going to mention it.

Speaker 109 Yeah, how can you not?

Speaker 105 You look like they kicked for mask.

Speaker 17 I did not look that bad.

Speaker 6 Sloth.

Speaker 101 Love chunk. Baby, Ruth, Ruth.

Speaker 98 Quiet.

Speaker 8 Okay, next.

Speaker 8 142. Oh, this is about the CIA's Project 8200.
Mount Hayes. Yep.
This one is about a CIA remote viewer who saw underground bases beneath Mount Hayes.

Speaker 110 Mount Mother Hayes.

Speaker 107 Okay, enough with that.

Speaker 6 Oh, hey, hey, hey, you know you can buy Mount Mother Hayes coffee mugs in a a Wi-Fi store.

Speaker 9 Please, no plugs during compilations.

Speaker 28 3 plus 15 plus 00.

Speaker 8 During the 1960s and 70s, the United States and the Soviet Union fought the Cold War on many fronts. Some of these engagements were obvious, like the Cuban Missile Crisis and the proxy wars in Asia.

Speaker 8 Other conflicts were not so obvious. In the 1970s, America and Russia engaged in a new type of warfare, psychic warfare.

Speaker 8 The CIA was actively recruiting and training people with a natural talent for remote viewing. Remote viewing is projecting your consciousness to anywhere on Earth and beyond.

Speaker 8 One remote viewer, entirely by accident, found himself at Mount Hayes in Alaska. Mount Hayes is in the middle of nowhere.

Speaker 8 There's no civilization for miles, but something was calling him to the mountain. Then he looked inside the mountain.
There was a base hidden inside Mount Hayes.

Speaker 8 Then he saw this was not a base built by humans. When multiple sources confirmed the existence of the base, they soon realized this was only the beginning.

Speaker 8 The story of the psychic competition between the US and the Soviet Union is like the chicken and the egg.

Speaker 8 Some say the CIA heard the Soviets had psychic spies, so they launched their own programs in response. Others say the U.S.
was first and the Soviets were responding.

Speaker 8 Either way, both superpowers created well-funded, super-secret programs focused on ESP or extrasensory perception. In other words, psychic espionage.
A skilled remote viewer would be the perfect spy.

Speaker 8 They could go anywhere, see anything, completely undetected. Remote viewing means the end of state secrets.
Really, the end of all secrets.

Speaker 8 But remote viewing didn't start out as a military intelligence project. It began as a research project.

Speaker 8 In 1972, two scientists, Hal Putoff and Russell Targ, launched an ESP program at the Stanford Research Institute, or SRI. Then they started looking for volunteers and came across Ingo Swann.

Speaker 6 Oh, hey, what do you call a fat psychic?

Speaker 8 Please don't.

Speaker 6 A fortune teller.

Speaker 8 Ingo Swann claimed to be a great psychic. Putoff was skeptical, so he set up a test.
The team had access to a large magnetometer, which can detect slight variations in magnetic fields.

Speaker 8 Swan had no idea what the machine was. Even though it was buried under 30 feet of concrete, he could see into the device and describe it.
He was able to sketch the magnetometer readings.

Speaker 8 Then he was able to affect the readings. This was good and bad.
Good that Ingo proved his abilities, but the purpose of the magnetometer was to detect Soviet nuclear tests.

Speaker 8 Affecting the output set off alarms all over the lab. The experiment almost got them kicked out of Stanford.
But the experiment caught the attention of the CIA.

Speaker 8 They didn't care that Ingo could move the needle, but the fact that he could see through superconducting shielding buried in 30 feet of concrete, well, that was a problem, but also an opportunity.

Speaker 8 The CIA quietly funded SRI's research and had them focus specifically on remote viewing, and Ingo Swann became known as the father of this technique. Initial experiments were mostly successful.

Speaker 8 Ingo could identify images and seal envelopes. He could project his consciousness to different places and see hidden objects.
But this didn't help the CIA.

Speaker 8 They needed him to view specific locations, Soviet locations. So Ingo Swan and the SRI team created the Scan8 protocol.
Project Scan8 was remote viewing by coordinates. Here's how it works.

Speaker 8 You give a remote viewer longitude and latitude coordinates, and you tell them nothing else. Ingo Swan could see what was at a given set of coordinates with remarkable accuracy.

Speaker 8 By the way, Ingo Swan also remote viewed the moon. I did an entire episode on it.
It's linked down below. Now, I don't want to spoil it, but what he saw on the moon was pretty amazing.

Speaker 6 And for the record, he's the only person who went to the moon.

Speaker 8 Not now.

Speaker 8 Soon, another psychic joined the project, Pat Price. Pat was a retired police commissioner.

Speaker 9 He was a good counterpart to Ingo Swan.

Speaker 8 Ingo was a painter. He was the typical free spirit artist.
He was loud and confident and funny. Pat Price, on the other hand, was grounded and serious.

Speaker 8 Pat solved a few crimes using his psychic abilities. Now at the time, Pat thought it was nothing more than intuition, hunches that usually turned out to be true.

Speaker 8 After he retired from the police department and had more time to focus, he realized his talent was more than intuition. Today, Pat Price is considered one of the most gifted psychics ever.

Speaker 8 The CIA wanted to test them. Both Pat and Ingo were given coordinates to view.
Nobody knew what was at the site except the one CIA analyst who gave them the numbers.

Speaker 8 Even though they remote viewed separately, both Ingo and Pat sketched similar results. They saw the layout of some kind of compound.
They said it looked high-tech.

Speaker 8 They described a large radar dish, a guard house. They saw roll-up doors and jeeps.
They said it looked like a military installation. Pat Price was even able to read documents on the site.

Speaker 8 Now this is unheard of.

Speaker 24 Nobody else can do this.

Speaker 8 But Pat saw saw a cabinet labeled Operation Pool. Inside were green folders named Q-ball, 14-ball, 8-ball, and rackup.
The team showed the results to the analyst and asked how close they were.

Speaker 8 The analyst said, sorry, but these sketches are nonsense. I gave you the coordinates to my cabin in West Virginia.
The whole team at SRI was disappointed and confused.

Speaker 8 How could both men be so wrong yet see similar things? So they sent someone to the coordinates. He found the cabin.
But a few hundred feet down the road from the cabin, he found something else.

Speaker 8 Ingo Swan and Pat Price were given the coordinates of a CIA analyst's vacation home in Sugar Grove, West Virginia. But when they remote viewed the location, that's not what they saw.

Speaker 8 They saw a military installation. The CIA analyst who gave the coordinates didn't realize that an NSA listening post was just over the ridge from his cabin.

Speaker 24 Pat and Ingo both assumed this was the target.

Speaker 8 This was the type of location they were usually asked to view. The Sugar Grove facility in West Virginia was one of the most secret NSA installations in the country.

Speaker 8 It captured information from Soviet satellites as they flew over. It served as a listening post for all kinds of transmissions.
In fact, Sugar Grove is in the NRQZ, the National Radio Quiet Zone.

Speaker 8 The NRQZ covers about 13,000 square miles in Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland. No radio signals of any kind are permitted there.

Speaker 8 If you fire up a radio, you will get a visit, a fine, and possibly jail time. A part of the zone is so locked down that microwave ovens and Wi-Fi are not permitted.

Speaker 8 Please don't plug them now.

Speaker 6 What? They didn't pay for a mid-roll?

Speaker 8 No. Okay, never mind.

Speaker 8 So, Pat Price and Ingo Swan got it right. They described this facility in detail from Northern California, 3,000 miles away.
And you'd think this would be cause for celebration.

Speaker 34 It wasn't.

Speaker 8 Every federal law enforcement agency in the country showed up at SRI. They wanted to know why some wacky CIA psychic contractors were spying on an NSA facility.

Speaker 8 And by the way, Project Q-Ball, Project 8-Ball, and Rackup, these were so highly classified that even the project names were top secret. The NSA was furious.

Speaker 8 Once all the agencies calmed down, SRI went back to work. This time, the CIA would focus on the enemy.

Speaker 6 Oh, the American people.

Speaker 8 The Soviets.

Speaker 8 Pat Price was given coordinates to view. He said he saw a science fiction fantasy crane.
Nobody knew what he was talking about. Pat grabbed a ruler, pen, and paper and drew a gantry crane.

Speaker 8 This type of crane is used to move shipping containers and lift ships out of the water. They're big.
Pat said this was the most giant crane he'd ever seen.

Speaker 8 He saw someone walk by and the wheels on the crane were 10 feet high and the wheels were on train tracks. The CIA had a sketch based on aerial photographs of the site.
There was a giant gantry crane.

Speaker 8 Inside the facility, Pat saw enormous steel spheres 60 feet across. There were no photographs of this.
Nobody thought much of it.

Speaker 8 Pat said that whatever they were building, the Soviets couldn't get it to work. But five years later, U.S.
intelligence would discover that the spheres were there.

Speaker 8 They were nuclear containment devices, and they never worked correctly. Pat Price was right again.
At this point, CIA plucked Pat out of SRI. They wanted him to work for them directly.

Speaker 8 Pat was given more coordinates for a site in Russia. He tried to go there, but something was pulling his focus from his target.
Something in Alaska. It was a mountain, Mount Hayes.

Speaker 8 Now, this was unexpected. Mount Hayes is desolate and remote.

Speaker 8 There are no roads and no civilization for miles. It's in the middle of a frozen wasteland.
Pat said he didn't see anything.

Speaker 8 Yes. But later, on his own, he projected back to the mountain.
Then Pat projected into the mountain. Then he understood why he was drawn there.
Inside Mount Hayes was a huge base.

Speaker 8 He saw advanced technology and equipment. He saw computers and consoles and machines that he didn't understand.

Speaker 8 Then he saw the operators of the machines.

Speaker 8 Pat saw beings that looked almost human, but were thin with large heads. And they were busy at work on something, though Pat Price didn't know what.
Then Pat got scared.

Speaker 8 Inside the mountain in the base, working alongside aliens were humans. specifically U.S.
military personnel. Two days later, Pat was in Las Vegas.

Speaker 8 As he walked through his hotel lobby, someone bumped into him. Then Pat felt a sharp pain in his leg.

Speaker 8 The next day, Pat had severe stomach cramps, and later that evening, he was found dead in his hotel room. His body was quickly removed.
No autopsy was performed. No crime scene was designated.

Speaker 8 The official cause of death was a heart attack. He was 56 years old.

Speaker 6 How do they know the cause of death without an autopsy?

Speaker 8 Good question, and we'll never know. Pat's body was cremated.
And then they called his wife.

Speaker 6 Oh, no.

Speaker 8 His remains are now in an unmarked grave in North Hollywood, we think.

Speaker 8 And I'm gonna see what this is.

Speaker 8 This is marker 700.

Speaker 8 So indeed. Indeed, Pat's grave is entirely unmarked.

Speaker 8 All right, I think he deserves better than that. Pat was with the CIA for less than four months.
A few years later, the CIA's remote viewing program was called Project Grill Flame.

Speaker 8 Same mission, different name. Eventually, it would be called Project Stargate.

Speaker 8 In 1980, the operations and training officer for the project was Skip Atwater. Skip was a retired Army intelligence officer now recruiting and training remote viewers.

Speaker 8 One day, Hal Putoff shows up at Skip's door with four files from Pat Price's remote viewing sessions, each with a different location.

Speaker 8 Pat gave the documents to Hal before going to work for the CIA full-time. Hal told Skip, you might want to look at these.
Skip looked at the files and couldn't believe it.

Speaker 8 One location was a secret alien base under Mount Hayes, Alaska.

Speaker 35 And the three other locations?

Speaker 8 Three other mountains and three more alien bases.

Speaker 8 You've heard of the Bermuda Triangle. If you follow this channel for a while, you know about the Nevada Triangle.
These are places where planes, ships, and people vanish without a trace.

Speaker 8 There are mysterious triangles all over the world. There's the Dragon Triangle in Japan, the Formosa Triangle in Taiwan, and quite a few others.
There's also the Alaska Triangle.

Speaker 8 The points are Juneau in the east, Anchorage in the west, then up to Barrow in the north. Since 1988, 16,000 people have gone missing in the Alaska Triangle.

Speaker 8 Nationwide, each state has an average of about seven people per 100,000 reported missing every year. Massachusetts has the lowest number, about two people per 100,000.

Speaker 8 Hawaii has the second most, 16 people. Not only does Alaska report the most missing people per year, but their number is more than 10 times higher than Hawaii, over 173 people missing per 100,000.

Speaker 8 And most of those go missing in the Alaska Triangle.

Speaker 44 The area is harsh and desolate.

Speaker 8 I'm sure many of the missing people simply succumb to the elements, but not all the people.

Speaker 8 There are native legends that go back thousands of years that describe creatures appearing and disappearing in thin air, sometimes taking victims with them.

Speaker 8 There's also something very strange about the geology in Alaska. It's covered with negative magnetic anomalies.
This is where magnetism operates in reverse.

Speaker 8 This would be a nightmare for airplanes, GPS, or any guidance system. And the epicenter of the Alaska Triangle, the place where magnetism goes crazy? Mount Hayes.
Mount Hayes. Mount Mother Hayes.

Speaker 8 Okay.

Speaker 8 Mount Hayes is also a UFO hotspot.

Speaker 114 Spotted and tracked for about 24 hours, moving northeasterly at 40,000 feet. At that altitude, officials say they did fear this unknown object posed a risk to civilian flight.

Speaker 8 There have been sightings of craft that go back years and sightings as recently as a few weeks ago.

Speaker 8 People have seen objects hovering over the mountain and then flying in formation at impossible speeds.

Speaker 8 The reports of objects vanishing into the side of the mountain, not through a door, through solid rock.

Speaker 8 There's a theory that the magnetic disturbances around Mount Hayes are portals that allow spacecraft to go in and out of the mountain.

Speaker 8 Mount Hayes was one of four mountains that Pat Price said contained a secret alien base. The others are Mount Perdido in Spain, Mount Inyangani in Zimbabwe, and Mount Zeal in Australia.

Speaker 8 Pat gave this information to Hal Putoff. Putoff then passed it along to Skip Atwater.
Now at this time, Skip worked with another extremely talented remote viewer, Joseph McMonagall.

Speaker 8 I've talked about him in a few different episodes. He's a legend in the remote viewing community.
He's conducted thousands of remote viewing sessions for the Army, CIA.

Speaker 8 He's also helped companies find oil and precious metals. He's helped law enforcement find missing people.
If anyone could confirm Pat Price's findings, it was Joseph McMonagall.

Speaker 8 So Skip gave Joe four sets of coordinates, and that's all. No other information, just the numbers.
Not only did Joe see the alien bases, he saw so much more.

Speaker 65 Being diagnosed with multiple myeloma was life-changing for both me and my family.

Speaker 66 When my body stopped responding to treatment, I began searching for other options.

Speaker 20 This led me to CAR T-cell therapy, a personalized treatment that's made from my own blood cells, which are then genetically modified to find and attack cancer cells.

Speaker 9 It was July 28th, 1982.

Speaker 8 Project 8200 begins. Skip Atwater dimmed the lights in the interview room and took a seat.
Joe McMonagall sat on the other side of the table, pen and paper ready. Joe had no idea what he'd be viewing.

Speaker 8 That's the ideal protocol. If a remote viewer is given information about a location in advance, it could ruin the entire process.
Even small details can distract a remote viewer.

Speaker 8 Details create expectations, which can lead to false positives. For example, you can't say, remote view this bowling alley.
The remote viewer will start seeing balls rolling and pins falling.

Speaker 6 Beer drinking.

Speaker 8 Right.

Speaker 6 I'm throwing rocks tonight.

Speaker 8 I got it.

Speaker 8 Are they really seeing these things, or is this just what they'd expect to see at any bowling alley? The only way to be sure a remote viewer sees the correct location is by giving them nothing.

Speaker 8 Skip had a map in a sealed envelope. He then read a series of numbers, coordinates.
63 degrees, 39 minutes north, 146 degrees, 45 minutes west. Joe didn't know what this was, but Skip knew it was...

Speaker 8 So, Joe relaxed, closed his eyes, and projected his consciousness to those coordinates. As images came into his mind, he sketched them on paper.

Speaker 121 I have a bunch of water, land, ice, and all these general things written in here. This is generally a very desolate area.

Speaker 121 And I drew in the mountain range.

Speaker 121 I wrote mountains. This is a whole range

Speaker 121 of mountains that extends for thousands of miles. So that'll give you an idea of the scale at which I'm drawing here.
And I sort of put an X where I perceive the target to be

Speaker 121 going to the target.

Speaker 121 And I believe that the target's placed deep in this mountain range in this desolate area.

Speaker 8 Water, land, ice, mountains, a desolate area? Joe was describing Mount Hayes. He drew a pretty accurate map of the area.
It was time for Joe to go inside the mountain.

Speaker 8 Here's the target, which is perceptibly.

Speaker 8 Pipes.

Speaker 121 Masses of electronics.

Speaker 121 Gridwork of some kind.

Speaker 8 This

Speaker 121 is the target which is perceptible.

Speaker 121 It's an emitter of some kind.

Speaker 121 A sense of great power.

Speaker 121 Uses a great deal of power energy.

Speaker 121 Very low

Speaker 121 frequency feeling.

Speaker 121 This is the target

Speaker 121 which is describable.

Speaker 121 Huge uh

Speaker 121 ground grid

Speaker 121 forming a

Speaker 121 electronic arena.

Speaker 121 Seeing

Speaker 121 very large power

Speaker 121 input lines from a miniaturized nuclear power plant

Speaker 121 or power unit.

Speaker 121 Other tubes buried in the ground. They're

Speaker 121 coils.

Speaker 121 Tubes are coils.

Speaker 8 Joe said the things he was seeing were so foreign to him that he had trouble putting them into words. He said, imagine an Aborigine trying to describe the interior of a car.

Speaker 8 They don't really have any context. They don't have words for screws and bolts and glass and metal.
That's how Joe felt. The technology was far beyond what he could comprehend.

Speaker 8 But Joe saw that the base was under a large dome. On top of the dome was an emitter sending a huge amount of energy into space.

Speaker 8 Next, Joe was told the coordinates of Mount Seal in Australia.

Speaker 121 The uh

Speaker 121 yawning entrance to an

Speaker 121 underground cave,

Speaker 121 black doorway,

Speaker 121 like a smooth dome of concrete.

Speaker 121 A black hole,

Speaker 121 A storage site of some kind.

Speaker 121 I see

Speaker 10 collage of things buried.

Speaker 10 Just coils.

Speaker 121 Keep seeing boxes of electronics.

Speaker 8 Under Mount Zeal, Joe sees another facility with advanced technology. Then he sees something familiar.

Speaker 121 Keep envisioning

Speaker 121 control centers.

Speaker 121 Keep in getting visions of all the

Speaker 121 command and control centers that I've ever been at.

Speaker 8 Joe describes an underground command center. Later, other remote viewers would describe consoles and screens and what sounds a lot like NORAD.

Speaker 121 Reference to caretaker personnel. Do you have visual of them or...
No, I just perceive like a watchdog force or something there.

Speaker 121 What kind of emotional impact is this on him? Oh, it's it's a very

Speaker 121 I have a very sinister feeling for this target.

Speaker 8 Next, Joe goes to Mount Perdido in the Pyrenees Mountains between France and Spain.

Speaker 37 The first thing he says is, I see sheep.

Speaker 37 Gray rocks.

Speaker 37 Three sheep.

Speaker 121 A natural cave.

Speaker 121 Cleft and rocks.

Speaker 8 Mount Perdido does have cliffs, gray rocks, and yes, there are sheep everywhere. Joe sketches the layout of the facility.

Speaker 8 This connection is observable.

Speaker 121 Interconnecting points like a spider web.

Speaker 121 Impression of relay.

Speaker 121 Impression that it catches something and relays it back.

Speaker 121 Dream high-frequency relay.

Speaker 121 Transponder.

Speaker 8 This is where we start to learn that the facilities are connected like a spider web.

Speaker 121 Still get this

Speaker 121 impression of a string of beads in the sky circling the earth.

Speaker 8 Toward the end of the session, Joe could see the facility being built. He said the construction took place about two to two and a half years ago.

Speaker 6 Oh, he saw aliens at the base?

Speaker 8 Nope. Ow.
It was being built by people.

Speaker 8 When Joe McMonagall was remote viewing the site at Mount Perdido, Spain, he was extremely accurate. He saw the cliffs, gray rocks, and sheep.

Speaker 8 That's the only time he mentioned sheep in thousands of remote viewing sessions, but he was right about them too.

Speaker 8 When Skip Atwater conducted the interview, Joe saw something unexpected: the facility being built.

Speaker 8 Skip was expecting this to be construction that happened hundreds or thousands of years ago with advanced technology, maybe using UFOs. But that's not what Joe saw.

Speaker 8 Occupants are describable

Speaker 121 Helicopters.

Speaker 121 Very rugged mountain range.

Speaker 121 Kind of desolate.

Speaker 121 Vehicles of transport are perceptible.

Speaker 121 Helicopters.

Speaker 121 Not large, but small.

Speaker 121 Boxes being brought in by helicopters.

Speaker 8 Boxes being brought in by helicopters. So human involvement.
military involvement. This tracks with what Pat Price saw at the Mount Hayes facility.

Speaker 8 He saw human military personnel working alongside alien beings. And just like Mount Hayes, Joe saw an emitter sending energy into space.

Speaker 121 The impression which I have labeled receive,

Speaker 121 I feel like this is situated in a footprint. In other words, it's being targeted with some kind of an emitter and that's a receiver.
I have a cable going down into a cleft in the rocks.

Speaker 121 on this particular location and in the cleft in the rocks is like a control black box and a power pack.

Speaker 121 Located in the center is a small

Speaker 121 dish or disc type shape with a spike in it and that's a very high frequency emitter and it emits straight up and that's there's a necessity that this be located on an extremely tall mountaintop or desert high range of mountains.

Speaker 8 During this session, Joe also gets the sense that this location is also involved in transmitting and receiving energy and information. The last mountain viewed is Mount Inigani in Zimbabwe.

Speaker 8 Joe sees a singular mountain, a group of high hills. There's a jungle close by.

Speaker 51 He sees black boxes of electronics.

Speaker 8 Again, he feels the concept of command, control, and communications. But everything comes together now.
These command centers are linked. Joe says it's like a spider web.

Speaker 121 It's not turned on. Or it's turned on, but it's lying dormant.
They're all lying dormant, but they're all turned on that are installed. They're still going in.
I get that impression.

Speaker 121 This is just a gut feeling now, but this is a perception, a

Speaker 121 concept perception.

Speaker 121 If you equate this to a cobweb,

Speaker 121 Every single angle in a cobweb represents a location on the cobweb. And I get an impression that the spider has not turned his whole cobweb on yet.

Speaker 121 But when he does, then it'll just be rattle the web anywhere.

Speaker 8 After the session, Joe tried to explain what he meant by spider web or cobweb. Now remember, Joe never mentions aliens, but he wasn't looking for aliens.
He wasn't looking for anything.

Speaker 8 He was just given coordinates. But he sees technology he can't comprehend when he views these locations.

Speaker 121 This is really,

Speaker 121 this is all off the wall to me. My My raw impressions are each one of these target sites is like a different spoke in a wheel.

Speaker 121 That's a bad example, but

Speaker 121 it's like a different part of a jigsaw puzzle.

Speaker 121 And each one is dormant. It does nothing unless it's commanded to do something.

Speaker 121 And then all it does is transfer.

Speaker 121 It just transfers something.

Speaker 121 I get just an overwhelming feeling of the big 3C, 3C, you know, command, control, and communications.

Speaker 8 What are these locations transferring and to where? Joe sees it.

Speaker 10 Sensing and receiving and emitting relay

Speaker 121 locations

Speaker 121 integral part of

Speaker 121 location.

Speaker 121 Get a fixed fixed orbitable platform. It's not going anywhere.

Speaker 121 No occupants now, but there's a capability.

Speaker 121 I can't tell if it's occupiable there or occupied before delivery. It's fully automated.
No occupants, fully automated.

Speaker 8 Like every remote viewing session, after Joe brings his consciousness back, he tries to explain what he saw and what he wrote down. Skip asks him to describe the space platform.

Speaker 121 I'm trying to go to the origin of the space-borne platform, I got a very old and a very new sensation.

Speaker 121 Like I got both sensations. It's like periods of time I'm talking about, I'm trying to quote the years and

Speaker 121 they're not. There's like I'm going from ancient to new to ultra-modern back to new.
You know, I'm flopping around in time. So that's probably pretty important.

Speaker 8 What Joe means is that the technology is extremely advanced, but this space platform has been there for a long time. Ancient, he says.

Speaker 35 Okay, so where's the platform?

Speaker 121 This

Speaker 121 space-borne platform is

Speaker 95 in a permanent fixed place.

Speaker 121 It's not rotating around the Earth, and it's not...

Speaker 121 It's like it's fastened with a string to the Earth.

Speaker 10 Never moves.

Speaker 121 And it's way out there, you know, so it has no decaying orbit. It's fixed.

Speaker 8 And these bases aren't just within the mountains. They're also under the ocean.

Speaker 8 Also, there's more than just these four locations. I have

Speaker 8 an immediate vision of seabed locations. You know, I honestly believe that there are seabed locations,

Speaker 8 these things.

Speaker 8 Skip Atwater confirms this and all of these sessions in a talk he gave in 2009.

Speaker 122 And that's where he explains again, very old and that these have been here a long time, but what he is viewing is so new, he doesn't understand it.

Speaker 122 There are some of these on the seabed.

Speaker 122 They have to do with precise observation, location and relay, some navigation use.

Speaker 8 When Joe first viewed the Mount Hayes alien base, he got a sinister feeling. But as he viewed each location, that feeling became less and less.

Speaker 121 My initial target of target number one was I had a very sinister feeling. Target number two got less sinister.
Target number three was not sinister at all.

Speaker 121 This target has convinced me that this has no

Speaker 121 absolutely no evil content in the way that we would describe evil.

Speaker 8 Skip Atwater had another psychic who claimed to be in telepathic communication with these beings in the bases. The psychic asked them, what do you think of humans?

Speaker 8 The response was basically, not much. Uh-oh.
Yeah, that sounded ominous to the psychic too, so he asked the being to explain. The response was, we see humans like you see a flock of birds.

Speaker 8 There are a few of us interested in them scientifically, but most of the aliens on Earth, while aware of humans, don't see us as anything more than the other animals here.

Speaker 8 Yes, we're slightly more intelligent, but otherwise we're just animals in a zoo to them.

Speaker 6 Animals with nuclear weapons.

Speaker 8 Right, there's that. The only time ETs will involve themselves in our affairs is if we try to do something to harm the planet.

Speaker 6 How dare you?

Speaker 24 Notice I didn't say harm ourselves.

Speaker 8 The aliens don't care whether we're here or not, but they won't let us hurt their planet. Why not? Well, because the Earth provides them with resources.

Speaker 8 The four alien bases in the mountains plus the bases in the ocean are creating energy from something in the Earth.

Speaker 8 This energy is harnessed, concentrated, and sent to an orbital platform in deep space. What happens from there, nobody knows.

Speaker 8 Joe McMonacle's remote viewing sessions were focused primarily on technology, energy, and the space platform.

Speaker 8 Joe did see helicopters outside the base at Mount Perdido, but he didn't see the beings operating the bases. But Pat Price did see them.

Speaker 8 Pat Price said the bases contained beings that looked like humans except for the heart, lungs, blood, and eyes. And if Pat Price says creatures are there, they're there.

Speaker 8 So, Skip Atwater brought in a few other remote viewers, not only to confirm the existence of the bases, but also to see who was operating them. Were they aliens or were they humans?

Speaker 8 According to several other remote viewers, the answer is yes.

Speaker 8 When Hal Putoff gave Pat Price's four files to Skip Atwater at Project Stargate, he told him, you might want to look at these. Pat had seen bases inside mountains full of advanced technology.

Speaker 8 Pat saw aliens operating equipment. And in some cases, he saw human military personnel working alongside the aliens.

Speaker 8 Remote viewer Joe McMonagall confirmed the existence of the bases and the technology.

Speaker 8 Joe even determined that the bases are linked and transmit energy to an object in space, but he didn't see the occupants.

Speaker 8 Years later, Ingo Swan trained a few more remote viewers using CR-V, coordinate remote viewing. Skip Atwater decides it's time to go back to the mountains.

Speaker 8 Remote viewer Bill Ray is given his first set of coordinates. He describes a hollow mountain in a cold climate.

Speaker 8 Bill sees electronic monitoring equipment and metallic ships, which are very quick. Bill describes people who are thin, unemotional, cold, and acted like they were programmed.

Speaker 8 He felt like they had a purpose and a mission. To Bill, they felt unearthly.
Remote viewer Paul Smith saw a cluster of structures in a cold, windswept, desolate area.

Speaker 8 Inside, he saw people manning the site. They seemed regimented and subdued.
He also saw box-shaped electronics and cables running underground.

Speaker 8 Session after session, Skip Atwater's remote viewers saw the same things. Some were more detailed than others, but all saw a mountain in a cold climate.
All saw a base inside filled with electronics.

Speaker 8 and several remote viewers saw thin, unemotional beings going about some kind of business. But Skip was concerned that his own thoughts might be bleeding into the sessions.

Speaker 8 So he conducted what he called a fully blind session. This is where not only does the remote viewer have nothing but the coordinates, but the same goes for the interviewer.

Speaker 8 Ed Dames was the monitor who read the coordinates to remote viewer Mel Riley.

Speaker 8 Mel sees a structure within a mountain. He sees a dark figure seated at a control panel operating a keyboard.
Not a keyboard like we use, but something with large buttons or keys like a piano.

Speaker 8 He sees other figures walking around. As Joe McMonagall described, Mel says it looked like an underground control center, like NORAD at Cheyenne Mountain.

Speaker 8 And like Joe, Mel also saw a large dome covering the structures. Then Mel saw what he described as some sort of UFO.

Speaker 8 Other remote viewers saw UFOs also, but Skip Atwater later admitted that they were afraid to put anything about UFOs in an official report.

Speaker 8 Now, if we go all the way back to Pat Price in the 1970s, he drew what looks like a UFO under one of the mountains. In Skip's lecture, he sums up all the findings and key takeaways.

Speaker 122 The price data itself describes four locations which he claimed and which was presupposed to be UFO bases.

Speaker 8 You know, how did Pat do this?

Speaker 122 I mean, I don't know how he initially targeted himself. The sites were highly protected from discovery.
They were mutually supportive in purpose, and they were very high technology of some kind.

Speaker 122 And the purposes of these bases included a monitoring function.

Speaker 8 Project 8200 confirms the existence of four subterranean sites and several remote viewers saw or felt the presence of extraterrestrials.

Speaker 8 Project 8200 also confirmed the sites are intentionally hidden and working together.

Speaker 8 The sites are sometimes occupied, but not always. They're used for observation and relaying information and energy to an object in deep space.

Speaker 8 Finally, Joe McMonagall added that other bases are located deep in the ocean. Remember, Joe was remote viewing in the 80s.
Skip Atwater gave this lecture in 2009.

Speaker 8 That's long before the videos we've seen of UFOs flying around and going in and out of the ocean. So after getting confirmation of UFO bases, that's when Skip Atwater decided he'd had enough.

Speaker 8 His project had limited resources, and if other agencies found out they were spending so much time searching for UFOs, that could be the end of the project and the end of many people's reputations.

Speaker 13 But something was nagging Skip.

Speaker 8 He kept asking himself, is any of this true? Well, he knew the CIA station chief in Northern Australia, so decided to give him a call.

Speaker 8 He asked his friend in Australia, Hey, is anything unusual happening down there? The guy said, Nah, this is a dead assignment.

Speaker 24 Well, except for all the UFOs flying around Mount Zeal.

Speaker 8 Project Stargate was discontinued in 1993. It was finally shut down because, according to the CIA, it didn't provide any useful information.

Speaker 126 Yeah, that in itself is suspicious.

Speaker 8 The budgets for Stargate, SRI, and psychic research were tiny compared to other military and intelligence operations.

Speaker 8 The government spends more money on office supplies than it was giving to Stargate. Really, it was shut down because of negative PR.
Remote viewing and the U.S.

Speaker 8 government's interest in it was showing up in newspapers and magazines and TV shows. ESP was a very fringe idea.
I'm sure some senior military official shut it down out of embarrassment.

Speaker 8 But while Stargate was operational, it kept busy. Joe McMonagall and Russell Targ both said that every government agency was using their psychics, but nobody would admit it.

Speaker 6 I bet it's still going on.

Speaker 8 I would think so. It's buried in a black budget somewhere.
But how much of all of this is true? Well, a lot of it depends on your perspective and existing beliefs.

Speaker 8 If you believe in ESP, then this story makes complete sense. If you don't believe, this story sounds bonkers.
So let's see if we can find the middle ground.

Speaker 8 Ingo Swan is the most well-known remote viewer. I've covered him before, and I'm a fan of his.
He has some famous successes, like, he said that Jupiter had rings.

Speaker 8 When he said that, it was a ridiculous claim. Later, it was discovered, Jupiter does have rings.
But he also said Jupiter had a huge mountain range, but on a gas giant, that's not possible.

Speaker 8 It's true that Ingo Swan got plenty of things right, but there's no way to know what his true success rate is. Very little can be verified, but he sure tells a hell of a story.

Speaker 8 Same with Joe McMonagall. He's a legend.
He claims to have a 95% success rate, or 65%,

Speaker 8 or 75%.

Speaker 8 It fluctuates. Joe's done remote viewing sessions for live TV and was successful, but his 15 minutes of footage was edited down to two minutes of the best stuff.

Speaker 8 Maybe it was edited for time and he had 15 straight minutes of winners. I don't know.

Speaker 9 But it all started with Pat Price.

Speaker 8 But there's not a lot of information out there about him.

Speaker 6 Yeah, and the CIA likes it that way.

Speaker 8 Yeah, Pat did die under mysterious circumstances, and the story certainly sounds like a CIA hit.

Speaker 24 But years later, a former KGB agent defected from the Soviet Union and he claimed to be an assassin.

Speaker 8 And he said one of his targets was a psychic in Las Vegas who he poisoned.

Speaker 10 Oh.

Speaker 8 Right. If Pat Price was really able to see inside Soviet military installations, he would need to go.

Speaker 8 But I can't find the name of that defector to verify the story, so CIA propaganda. Could be.

Speaker 8 And speaking of CIA propaganda, we have to examine the people involved in Project Stargate very closely.

Speaker 6 Yeah, are we gonna name names?

Speaker 8 Yes, we are. Yeah.

Speaker 8 Since the 1970s, a number of people with very high security clearances have been working on UFO phenomena. They were interacting with each other so much, they gave themselves code names.

Speaker 8 The code names were all birds, so they called themselves the aviary. Cute.
Well, let's start with the owl.

Speaker 8 Psychic research begins with Harold Hal Putoff in the early 1970s at SRI, the Stanford Research Institute.

Speaker 8 We know that Putoff worked with the CIA on Project Stargate, but the owl has worked on and off for the CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency for years.

Speaker 8 But most of his work happened after he left the Church of Sciency.

Speaker 8 You bleeped me?

Speaker 6 Well, you know we can't say the S-word.

Speaker 6 They sue people.

Speaker 8 Fair enough.

Speaker 6 Well, how high did the OWL get in the

Speaker 6 Church of Tom Cruise?

Speaker 8 Well, OT7.

Speaker 34 That was the top level at the time.

Speaker 8 Yikes. Uh, I mean, I mean, oh, congratulations.

Speaker 6 What a nice achievement.

Speaker 8 Hey, I'm just giving information. I'm not making judgments.

Speaker 123 I am.

Speaker 8 Putoff is also involved in UFOs. He founded To the Stars, a private venture investigating UFOs.

Speaker 8 Also on the board of To the Stars is Christopher Mellon, who's also former CIA and DIA, and Steve Justice, former director of advanced systems development at Lockheed Martin, and Luis Elizondo.

Speaker 8 a former intelligence officer who says he ran ATIP. ATIP, or the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, essentially continued Project Blue Book.
Elizondo says he ran this program.

Speaker 8 The Pentagon says he had nothing to do with it. Elizondo says this is a smear campaign.
Pop quiz. Who do you believe? An intelligence officer or an intelligence agency?

Speaker 6 Either.

Speaker 8 Correct. Next, Blue Jay.
Dr. Kit Green also worked on Stargate, and he was a CIA analyst.
In 2001, leaked emails showed that Dr. Green said the infamous alien autopsy video was true.

Speaker 6 It was.

Speaker 8 Well, it was a film produced in 1995. A hoax.
Later, Green said that he never said it was real. He said the still shot of the face looked real.
So, which is it? Next bird, Falcon.

Speaker 8 Falcon is the infamous Richard Doty. Doty was a special agent for the Air Force OSI, the Office of Special Investigations.
He was in charge of UFO disinformation programs.

Speaker 8 One of Doty's assignments was to infiltrate the UFO community and flood it with as much disinformation as possible. This way people would know what to believe.

Speaker 8 Bill Moore, a well-known UFO author, destroyed his career in a single afternoon.

Speaker 8 He publicly said he was taking payments from the government via Doty and helping spread lies. He was essentially booed off the stage, and we haven't heard much from him since.

Speaker 8 But Doty has since come forward and said UFOs are real. and that most of the UFO stories we hear are real.

Speaker 128 And that's what is so disgusting and troubling within the UFO community. That's why I have nothing to do with them anymore.

Speaker 8 I've tried.

Speaker 128 I've went to UFO conventions and tried to explain what the truth is, and nobody wants to hear you because they've written a book that says it happened this way and they're going to listen to you, even though they

Speaker 123 really don't know the truth.

Speaker 8 Is he telling the truth now? Who knows?

Speaker 8 Our next bird is Woodpecker. Woodpecker is Jamie Shandera, a film producer.
He's considered one of the the birds who wants UFO disclosure. So there are good guys and bad guys in the aviary.

Speaker 8 But enter Bob Collins, aka Condor. Bob Collins is also a former intelligence agent with OSI who engaged in UFO disinformation campaigns.
In 1989, a documentary was released called UFO Cover-Up Live.

Speaker 8 Shandera was featured in that documentary. But this TV program got people asking questions.
Many in the UFO community consider the dock to be nothing but a disinformation campaign.

Speaker 8 And it's easy to see why. Bob Collins,

Speaker 8 right, he stated in his book that after the documentary, he attended what he called a mini-summit. This was a meeting to deal with the fallout of the TV show.

Speaker 8 At the summit was The Owl, Hal Putoff, Falcon, Richard Dodie, Blue Jay, Kit Green, and Bill Moore, who was being paid by the government to lie to the public about UFOs.

Speaker 8 According to Collins' book, quote, Kit Green took center stage by proposing several lines of attack involving disclosure strategies. So are they on the side of disclosure or disinformation?

Speaker 8 There's more. You might remember my episode on Project Serpo.
This was an exchange program between the United States and aliens from the Planet Serpo.

Speaker 8 It's a great story, and by the way, all these are linked below. Now, it took a long time, but the Planet Serpo story was found to be a hoax perpetrated by what came to be known as the Team of Five.

Speaker 8 Two of the five were Victor Martinez and Bill Ryan who ran the website disseminating the information. The information came from three men, Owl, Falcon, and Blue Jay, Putoff, Doty, and Green.

Speaker 8 Once again, Doty later said Serpo is true.

Speaker 46 And it may be.

Speaker 8 But in telling the story, the Team of Five got caught telling all kinds of other lies. But some of the lies they say are true.
I get into all this in the episode.

Speaker 8 And by the way, Bob Lazar and a few other whistleblowers also say Serpo is true, so you make the call. But birds of a feather stick together.

Speaker 8 Neither talk about it much, but for years, Doty, aka the Falcon, worked for Putoff, aka the Owl. Doty spent 10 years as a private contractor for Putoff's company, EarthTech.

Speaker 8 EarthTech worked with the U.S. intelligence community on black programs.
Don't take my word for it. Here's how.

Speaker 130 The particular area that I took responsibility for is based on this.

Speaker 130 There was a critical issue. As you can well imagine, in these deep black programs.

Speaker 130 It's difficult for contractors to obtain expert opinion on critical technologies because there's such high-level security and there's compartmentalization. We call it stovepiping.

Speaker 130 And so I was contracted to commission papers from experts around the globe. And since we didn't want to be in the position of going out and say, hey, we're trying to figure out this UFO thing,

Speaker 125 you know, can you help us out here?

Speaker 130 I mean, the publicity associated with that in our black program would have been a disaster.

Speaker 8 Here's something else. In 2006, a book came out that blew the whistle on everything.
It's called The Black World of UFOs, Exempt from Disclosure.

Speaker 8 It talks about government cover-ups, sensitive DIA and CIA documents, reverse engineering alien spacecraft. All the great UFO stories are in this book.

Speaker 6 I love it.

Speaker 6 What's the problem?

Speaker 8 It was written by Collins and Doty.

Speaker 6 Condor and Falcon.

Speaker 8 Yep. Yeah.
Look, I believe UFOs exist, and I believe we have recovered craft, but I'm skeptical of anyone who's worked in intelligence, because once you're in, you're never out.

Speaker 8 Whatever's being said about UFOs by people like Doty, Putoff, Elizondo, David Grush, I take all that with a grain of salt. These are not whistleblowers.

Speaker 8 These are people who spent most of their careers in intelligence. The things they say, they're allowed to say.
They have permission.

Speaker 6 Permission for whom?

Speaker 8 Well, isn't that the big question? Pat Price, the psychic who started it all, comes off as the most credible of all the people I talked about today. He was a retired cop from a small town.

Speaker 8 He used his gift to solve crimes, to help people. And Pat was a patriot.
The CIA asked for help and he provided it.

Speaker 29 Four months later, Pat was dead.

Speaker 8 In my research, I found something Pat Price said that bothered me.

Speaker 8 He said this, People have infiltrated all government in sensitive positions, not to control government, the processes, or people, but rather to be in positions of power, to stop politically any activity that may produce a result that could cause discovery.

Speaker 8 Americans want information about UFOs released. Congress tried and couldn't do it.
Presidents have tried and couldn't do it. So if our elected leaders aren't in charge, who is?

Speaker 8 During Stargate, it was discovered that anyone can learn remote viewing.

Speaker 8 Some people like Joe McMonacle and Pat Price are naturally gifted, but the rest of us, with practice and training, it's a skill we can all develop. But that would mean the end of all secrets.

Speaker 8 That can't be allowed to happen. Secrets are the source of their power, whoever they are.
And that's why Stargate was shut down.

Speaker 29 Not because it failed, because it worked.

Speaker 64 Being diagnosed with multiple myeloma was life-changing for both me and my family.

Speaker 66 When my body stopped responding to treatment, I began searching for other options.

Speaker 20 This led me to CAR T cell therapy, a personalized treatment that's made from my own blood cells, which are then genetically modified to find and attack cancer cells.

Speaker 76 If your multiple myeloma treatment isn't working or your cancer has come back, learn more about CAR T cell therapy at discovercar T.com.

Speaker 81 Then ask your doctor if CAR T cell therapy might be an option for you.

Speaker 8 Now it's pretty much an open secret that something is going on underneath those mountains in Alaska, but there's no roads in or out. The only way to investigate is to fly in.

Speaker 8 And that's what the great investigator James Fox did.

Speaker 25 There has been controversy swirling around for decades as to some sort of secret underground potential alien base.

Speaker 25 So that's why I'm here to go and check out Mount Hayes and see if any of the accounts over the last several decades are remotely true.

Speaker 8 Okay, we're going to stay in Alaska for this next one.

Speaker 115 I got to look up, ah, yes.

Speaker 8 Specifically in the Alaska Triangle. I have a few episodes about that, where planes and people have gone missing for years, like thousands of them.

Speaker 8 Anyway, it wasn't until I began researching these episodes that I saw a recurring theme is that there is something buried underneath the mountains in Alaska.

Speaker 41 But

Speaker 8 what I didn't expect is that there are going to be facilities that were joint operations between the U.S. military and alien races.
But it seems like that's what they are.

Speaker 8 So this next episode is about one of those bases.

Speaker 70 This is the Black Pyramid of Alaska.

Speaker 23 In September 1989, Doug Muchler reported for duty.

Speaker 8 He was a counterintelligence officer stationed at Fort Richardson, just outside Anchorage, Alaska. His job was investigating espionage and terrorism, so his first stop was the map room.

Speaker 8 He needed to get the lay of the land. Doug grew up in Ohio, so learning about the rugged terrain and wilderness of Alaska would take a lot of studying.

Speaker 8 Alaska is a big place, almost 700,000 square miles, twice the size of Texas. Doug spread out a few maps across the giant table in the center of the room.

Speaker 24 He scanned the maps.

Speaker 8 They showed mountain ranges, rivers, lakes, cities, old mining towns, the typical stuff. But then something caught his eye.

Speaker 8 On a map of Denali National Park, there was an area no bigger than his thumb that was whited out.

Speaker 29 Doug grabbed a magnifying glass.

Speaker 8 There were no features. About 60 miles west of Mount McKinley was a small zone labeled, this area not surveyed to date.
Doug thought this was odd.

Speaker 8 The entire state of Alaska was definitely surveyed, every inch of it. How could this tiny patch be not surveyed? He set the question aside.
He was a chief warrant officer in military intelligence.

Speaker 8 He figured if he needed to know, he'd know. Still, something about that location haunted him.

Speaker 37 And three years later, he'd find out why.

Speaker 8 It was late 1992, and Doug Muchfler was killing time with a few dozen off-duty soldiers. Someone shushed the group and turned up the TV.

Speaker 8 The local news was running a story about an underground nuclear detonation in China. It was so powerful that it sent shockwaves in the Earth's crust all the way to Alaska.

Speaker 8 But that wasn't the story. When seismologists analyzed the data, they saw the cross-section of a huge object about 100 feet below the surface in central Alaska.

Speaker 8 It was a pyramid. A huge pyramid, bigger than the Great Pyramid of Giza, 550 feet tall from the top to the base.

Speaker 8 The news showed the pyramid's location on a map.

Speaker 24 Doug wasn't sure, but he could swear it was right in the middle of the location marked, this area not surveyed to date.

Speaker 8 He ran to the map room.

Speaker 51 He was right.

Speaker 8 Next stop, his quarters. He set his VCR to record the 11 o'clock news.
He needed to be sure.

Speaker 8 The late night news came and went without a single mention of the pyramid. Doug called a few news junkies he knew.

Speaker 24 Nobody heard anything about it.

Speaker 8 The next day, with military intelligence credentials, Doug went to the local news station. The station manager said there was no such story and had no idea what Doug was talking about.

Speaker 8 They returned to his office.

Speaker 8 Doug stood in the lobby for a minute, confused. Not only did he see the news story, but almost 40 other soldiers did too.

Speaker 8 The station manager's strange behavior made Doug feel that something wasn't right.

Speaker 8 Well, that's what Doug thought. But this visit was off the books.
He had no authority here.

Speaker 24 As Doug was heading out, he heard a voice behind him.

Speaker 8 It was one of the younger employees.

Speaker 45 The kid nervously gestured for Doug to come over, so he did.

Speaker 8 The younger man was clearly rattled. He looked around, lowered his voice, and said the story was true.

Speaker 58 Look, I'm not supposed to say anything. I could get fired for this.
But this just isn't sitting right with me.

Speaker 8 Doug acted like he wasn't sure what the kid was talking about, but he was pretty sure what he was talking about.

Speaker 58 That story about the underground pyramid is real. We ran it during last night's 6 o'clock broadcast.

Speaker 58 A few hours later, a couple of scary guys in suits came by the station and grilled my boss in his own office.

Speaker 58 Next thing I know, the story is pulled from the 11 o'clock lineup and all the tapes of the story were confiscated. It's all gone.

Speaker 8 Doug asked why, although again, he knew the answer. He just wanted to hear hear this kid say it.

Speaker 58 After the suits left, the news director said we had to kill the story. Because it involved a Chinese nuclear test, it was a matter of national security.
We were told to forget about it.

Speaker 58 The nuclear test, the pyramid, all of it. Pretend it never happened or face criminal charges.

Speaker 28 That's all I know.

Speaker 36 The kid begged Doug to keep him out of it, and Doug agreed.

Speaker 8 Again, as an experienced intelligence officer, Doug knew these tactics. He also knew he shouldn't press the issue with his superiors, so he didn't.
But he was annoyed.

Speaker 133 I was mad. I went back to the office in formation that night.
I told everybody what I'd found out, and the guys in the unit were like, wait a minute, we watched it.

Speaker 133 What do you mean they didn't run it?

Speaker 133 You know, same thing I was saying.

Speaker 8 Doug continued his normal duties at Fort Richardson, but he couldn't stop thinking about that pyramid. He was frustrated, frustrated, but there was no way to get more information.

Speaker 8 Then, a year later, Doug was transferred to Fort Meade in Maryland, home of the National Security Agency. And that would provide an opportunity.

Speaker 8 In 1993, Doug Muchler was transferred to Fort Meade, Maryland. Fort Meade is known for being the headquarters of the NSA.
Doug said he wasn't working for the NSA, but for a unit nearby.

Speaker 6 Oh, he was totally working for the NSA.

Speaker 8 Probably. Fort Meade was also home to a giant warehouse of files.
Row after row, shelf after shelf, floor after floor, it was a giant archive of government activity, and much of it top secret.

Speaker 6 Ooh, like where to keep the ark and all that stuff?

Speaker 8 No, this place was just files.

Speaker 6 I'd still like to snoop around there.

Speaker 8 So would I.

Speaker 8 Doug played it cool. He introduced himself to the archivist and showed him his credentials.
Doug asked if there were any files about archaeological sites in Alaska.

Speaker 8 He didn't say pyramid or anything like that. He kept his questions nonspecific.
The archivist didn't blink. He wrote down a few numbers and handed Doug a slip of paper.
The floor, the row, the shelf.

Speaker 8 Doug was getting closer. He found the Alaska files.
He pulled a few and settled into a reading room.

Speaker 24 But he wouldn't get the chance to learn anything.

Speaker 8 Here come the man in black.

Speaker 133 And I had just sat down.

Speaker 133 And these two guys came, you know, you can feel someone standing behind you.

Speaker 52 And these two goons go, hey,

Speaker 133 you don't have a need to know for that information.

Speaker 8 Doug turned around and asked what they meant. He was just looking at archaeological sites in Alaska.
They said, we know what you're looking for. You need to leave the building immediately.

Speaker 8 Doug asks why.

Speaker 133 They don't want us messing with them up there anymore. They don't want you messing with them up there.
They don't want us, anybody messing with them.

Speaker 8 Messing with who up there? Well, that's what Doug wanted to know, but the two guys, men in black, right, they realized they just said too much.

Speaker 8 Doug left the warehouse, resumed his duties, and kept quiet. But after he left the service, he went public with the story.

Speaker 8 It turned out that not only is the pyramid real, the military knows exactly where it is. They also know know what the pyramid is.

Speaker 41 How?

Speaker 29 Because they're the ones operating it.

Speaker 8 Marty Johnson shook his head and quietly laughed. As an engineer in the Navy during World War II, he worked on more than his share of top secret projects.
But this was something else.

Speaker 8 He was flown from Omaha, Nebraska to Unaloclete, Alaska, wherever that was, and then rushed onto a white bus with blacked out windows. On the bus were a few engineers and technicians.

Speaker 8 Once everyone was settled, the bus started driving east. Nobody was told where they were going or specifically what they were doing.
And honestly, Marty didn't care.

Speaker 44 This was exciting.

Speaker 8 While most of the passengers seemed nervous, Marty was smiling ear to ear. He felt like a character in a spy novel.
After the war, Marty was recruited by Western Electric Electric Manufacturing.

Speaker 8 Well, technically, he worked for Bell Labs, created from the engineering department of Western Electric and half owned by AT ⁇ T. When offered the job, Marty didn't need much convincing.

Speaker 8 He'd be working on highly classified projects for the military. His specialty was electrical engineering, but Marty Johnson could build or fix anything you threw at him.

Speaker 8 He liked to challenge, and working on cutting-edge tech was right up his alley. In the late 40s, he worked with transistors.
These little devices revolutionized electronics.

Speaker 8 He had no idea how Bell came up with the idea, but wow, did they change everything?

Speaker 6 The aliens gave them the transistors.

Speaker 8 Maybe.

Speaker 8 Well, here it was, 1959, and Marty felt he was helping invent the future.

Speaker 8 He couldn't tell his family where he was or what he was doing, but they understood that his work, whatever it was, was very important.

Speaker 8 After a six-hour bumpy ride, the bus finally stopped. When the door opened, the cold Alaska air rushed in like a punch in the face.
Stepping out of the bus was even more shocking.

Speaker 24 After six hours in the dark, the bright white Alaskan landscape was overpowering.

Speaker 8 Marty lifted his collar, shielded his eyes, and walked with his colleagues. Once his eyes adjusted, Marty became confused.
There was nothing here. Ice, snow, mountains, that's it.

Speaker 8 Then he heard a shout from up ahead.

Speaker 8 Two men in uniform stood next to what looked like a concrete shed in the middle of nowhere.

Speaker 57 Marty would need answers soon. The cold wind was taking the fun out of this adventure.

Speaker 8 The group shuffled into the shed. The officers came in last and closed the door.

Speaker 57 In unison, everyone sighed in relief.

Speaker 8 One of the officers told the group to grab the rail and hold on. He yanked a metal gate across the door and pushed a button.
With a quick jerk, the platform began dropping.

Speaker 24 Now Marty understood.

Speaker 8 The shed was just an entrance to this elevator shaft. As the elevator descended, the temperature warmed a bit.

Speaker 8 It was still cold enough to see his breath, but at least they were spared from the biting wind. After daydreaming a bit, Marty realized they'd been going down for a long time.

Speaker 8 The elevator finally stopped.

Speaker 33 The officer opened the gate and gestured for everyone to step out.

Speaker 61 Marty followed the group out into the hallway.

Speaker 57 It looked like every military office building he'd ever been in.

Speaker 8 The gray concrete floor and walls painted green beige, the constant buzzing of overhead fluorescent lights, all too familiar. The group started moving again.

Speaker 8 Marty felt like he was on a museum tour, just following the crowd. They passed plenty of doors, so this place must be bigger than it looked.
The doors had no names, only numbers.

Speaker 8 Clean, simple, efficient. Definitely military.

Speaker 8 The officer up front raised his voice a bit so everyone could hear. Before they started their four-week orientation, they would get to see the project.
Finally, Marty thought.

Speaker 8 Judging by the murmurs in the group, he wasn't the only one becoming impatient.

Speaker 8 After making a few turns here and there, they reached the end of the hallway. They were standing in front of a huge steel door.
It had to be 15 feet high and wide enough to drive a car through.

Speaker 8 The officer grabbed a red foam receiver off the wall and spoke into it. Marty couldn't hear, but he chuckled to himself as he imagined the officer saying, open Sesame.

Speaker 8 From somewhere, there was the sound of metal on metal, and the door began to slowly swing open. Not only was the door tall and wide, it had to be a foot thick.

Speaker 8 What could be in here that required security measures like this? Was it nukes?

Speaker 33 Marty hoped it wasn't nukes.

Speaker 9 They walked through the door into a giant cavern.

Speaker 8 Then Marty saw it and everything made sense. The blacked out windows, the secrecy, the security.
The officer proudly announced, gentlemen, welcome to the Dark Pyramid.

Speaker 8 In the spring of 78, Lee Pearson was at the Unaloclete Airport trading war stories with a fellow vet.

Speaker 8 Lee retired and became a teacher, but his new friend, a helicopter pilot, was still in the service. The pilot could tell Lee was missing the excitement of the old days, so he made him an offer.

Speaker 8 He was making a quick run into the infamous Alaska Triangle.

Speaker 127 Lee, I got something that will get your blood pumping. We're taking some important equipment out to a secret base near Denali.
You know Mount McKinley? We'll be in and out in four hours.

Speaker 127 You want to tag along?

Speaker 8 Lee said, absolutely. They hopped in the helicopter and started flying due east.
After just under two hours of flight time, the pilot gave Lee a heads up.

Speaker 28 Okay, we're just about five miles out. Things are about to get weird.
Our instruments are going to go crazy. You're going to hear all kinds of alarms.
Don't panic.

Speaker 28 And we'll go VFR the rest of the way and we'll be fine.

Speaker 6 VFR.

Speaker 8 Visual flight rules.

Speaker 24 Basically, you turn off autopilot, keep the ground in sight, and keep your eyes open for obstacles. Got it.

Speaker 8 Then the helicopter's electronics went haywire.

Speaker 58 The radar screen went out.

Speaker 8 The compass needle was spinning like a fan. Lee was visibly nervous.
Then all the power in the helicopter, the instruments, lights, everything went black.

Speaker 8 But the helicopter kept flying. A few minutes later, it touched down.

Speaker 8 Within seconds, a ground crew was refueling them, with the engine running and the rotor spinning. Lee looked around.
There were a couple of small guard houses with towers.

Speaker 9 He saw two or three Kwanzat huts.

Speaker 8 Boxes of equipment were piled here and there. Razor wire was everywhere.

Speaker 8 Lee looked up. Overhead, a C-130 was flying tight circles over the area.
Then, six men in black uniforms start yanking crates of cargo.

Speaker 8 Lee, being a military man himself, notices the uniforms have no insignia, no unit patches, no rank, no name tape, no identification identification of any kind.

Speaker 8 There are men around the perimeter of the landing zone. They're heavily armed and aiming at the helicopter.
Lee looks behind them. There's a Jeep parked just a few yards away.

Speaker 8 On top of it is a 50 caliber machine gun. It's loaded, manned, and aimed right at them.

Speaker 8 Lee glances nervously at the pilot who gives him a look that says, relax, this is normal. In three, maybe four minutes, they're airborne and headed west, back to the airport.

Speaker 8 Once they get about five miles from the site, all the instruments come back on and everything is working perfectly.

Speaker 8 Lee asks the pilot, what the hell was that? The pilot looks at Lee, taps his headset, and holds his finger in front of his mouth.

Speaker 6 God, they'd be listening to the radio.

Speaker 8 Yep.

Speaker 8 At a small bar near the airport, the three men sit at a quiet table in the back. A waitress drops off a round of beers.
Lee grabs one, takes a sip, and says, okay, let's hear it.

Speaker 127 That place is more secret than the Manhattan Project. Nobody's supposed to know it even exists.
Deep underground is a giant pyramid made of black stone. They think it's stone anyway.

Speaker 9 Lee asks, who would build a giant pyramid underground and why?

Speaker 127 All they know is that it's thousands of years old. They've had Texan engineers working there since the 50s.
It's a power generator of some kind. And this thing puts out a lot of juice.

Speaker 8 This sounded crazy to Lee. He asked how much power does the pyramid generate.
The pilot said enough to power the whole country.

Speaker 8 Pyramids as power plants. Sounds like science fiction, but if made of the right materials, it could possibly work.

Speaker 8 I have an entire episode on how the Great Pyramid of Giza could have created energy, and there's scientific evidence that supports this theory. Pyramid Power, link below.

Speaker 8 Marty Johnson was very specific about the site and the technology. He said the pyramid was five feet.

Speaker 8 He said the pyramid is 550 feet tall, with the base 700 feet below the surface. The angles of the pyramid were 48 degrees, not 45.
I don't know why this is important, but Marty said it was.

Speaker 54 There were enclosed control rooms at each corner.

Speaker 8 The control rooms measured measured the energy flowing through the pyramid. The purpose of the project was energy distribution.
If they ever got this to work, we don't know.

Speaker 8 But Marty Johnson's son said his father built a replica of the pyramid made out of aluminum. He ran a small amount of voltage through the pyramid, and that energy was then magnified.

Speaker 24 This mini-pyramid produced more than enough electricity to power their entire house and farm.

Speaker 134 It's been theorized that the pyramids in Alaska, Egypt, Indonesia, and other places formed an ancient energy grid.

Speaker 8 They pulled electricity out of the zero-point field and transmitted it around the planet, maybe even around the solar system.

Speaker 6 Free energy cover-up link below.

Speaker 8 Right, I have an entire episode about inventors who discovered ways to pull energy from the quantum field that exists everywhere.

Speaker 6 And what happened to those inventors?

Speaker 8 All died of mysterious causes. Uh-huh.
So, is the dark pyramid an energy device? We don't know. We have to find find it first.

Speaker 40 And some people think they have.

Speaker 8 When Doug Muchler went public with his story, he used the perfect conduit. He contacted Linda Moulton Howe.
If you follow UFO news or you're a fan of Coast to Coast, you know who Linda is.

Speaker 8 In case you don't, She's an investigative journalist who's been covering UFOs, aliens, and conspiracies for a long time. She actually won an Emmy for one of her UFO documentaries.

Speaker 6 Yo, Linda is the UFO OG.

Speaker 8 She is. She's a legend in the field.

Speaker 46 She also does her homework.

Speaker 8 So when Doug emailed her, she got copies of his ID, addresses, and phone numbers. But most importantly, she wanted a copy of his DD214.
Oh, well, obviously.

Speaker 15 Oh, you know what a DD-214 is?

Speaker 6 Of course I do.

Speaker 129 Well, then, tell the people.

Speaker 8 No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 6 I don't want to step on your fins.

Speaker 8 You go ahead.

Speaker 8 DD Form 214 is a certificate from the U.S. military that lists everything about your service.

Speaker 8 The date and place of duty, the date and place of release, assignments, rank, education, MOS, job specialty, decorations, medals, everything. Thug Mutchler produced this document.

Speaker 57 He was telling the truth.

Speaker 8 Once Linda reported on the pyramid, other people started coming forward with their own accounts of the Dark Pyramid.

Speaker 8 Marty Johnson and Lee Pearson's stories come from their sons who heard them firsthand.

Speaker 8 Linda heard from a retired naval captain stationed in Alaska. He noticed that aircraft communications always malfunctioned when flying over a certain area, east of Unaloclete and west of Mount Denali.

Speaker 8 Radar showed massive electromagnetic energy coming from the area. When the captain saw the report about the Chinese nuclear test, he thought the pyramid could be the problem.

Speaker 8 So he did the logical thing. He reported it to his superior officer.
Stupid. Soon after, he was told to be quiet or face court-martial.
Told ya. Lee Pearson's son Bruce believes his father's story.

Speaker 8 In fact, he thinks his father gave him enough information to find the location of the Dark Pyramid. So Bruce took that information, went to Alaska, hired a plane, and

Speaker 8 he might have found it.

Speaker 65 Being diagnosed with multiple myeloma was life-changing for both me and my family.

Speaker 66 When my body stopped responding to treatment, I began searching for other options.

Speaker 20 This led me to CAR T cell therapy, a personalized treatment that's made from my own blood cells, which are then genetically modified to find and attack cancer cells.

Speaker 8 Bruce Pearson's father said the Dark Pyramid was east of Eunalikleep and west of Mount Denali. So Bruce hired a pilot to take him to that location.

Speaker 8 If the base was out there, there would be signs of human activity. After almost two hours of flying, they came across a patch of land that looked squared off.

Speaker 28 Go back over to that spot again, Deb.

Speaker 133 That's not natural.

Speaker 28 That is not natural.

Speaker 8 It's not a perfect square, but there are right angles and straight lines. When they came around for another pass, they found the remains of an old road, a road that doesn't appear on any maps.

Speaker 8 And the most amazing discovery of all, they found an old airstrip. This also does not appear on any maps.
So at some point in the past, somebody was using that road and airstrip for something.

Speaker 8 The nearest marked road is almost 100 miles away.

Speaker 8 This area is also pretty close to coordinates sent to Linda Moulton Howe by another retired Navy officer. This is the location.

Speaker 8 Using Google Earth, some people claim they can see an outline of a former compound or structure. I'm not sure I can make anything out, but I link the coordinates below if you want to see for yourself.

Speaker 8 One man actually hiked to the coordinates to see with his own eyes.

Speaker 8 In May 2020, Nathan Campbell hired a plane to fly him to Cary Lake in Denali National Park, just a few miles from the pyramid's alleged location.

Speaker 8 He told the pilot to pick him up at the same location in four months.

Speaker 6 Four months?

Speaker 8 Yep, but Nathan was prepared. He had good gear, plenty of food, and a satellite communicator to let him radio his family.
But after just a few weeks, he stopped checking in.

Speaker 24 A search team found his campsite.

Speaker 44 His gear was still there, but no Nathan.

Speaker 8 He kept a diary. The last entry said, went to get water.
He's never been found.

Speaker 8 Some speculate that he actually was found, that he discovered the location of the Dark Pyramid and was deleted.

Speaker 8 But something to keep in mind, the location of the Dark Pyramid is in the Alaska Triangle.

Speaker 135 Yep.

Speaker 8 For 20 years, the CIA operated Project Stargate. This was essentially a psychic spy project.

Speaker 15 Stargate did a lot of different things, but his primary focus was remote viewing.

Speaker 8 Remote viewing is projecting your consciousness to any place on Earth.

Speaker 6 Project Stargate link below. But if you were psychic, you already knew that.

Speaker 8 One of the most talented remote viewers was Pat Price. Pat was able to see an underground base hidden inside a mountain right in the middle of the Alaska Triangle, Mount Hayes.
Mount Motherfing Hayes.

Speaker 8 Okay, that's enough.

Speaker 14 Mount Motherfing Haze

Speaker 8 Pat discovered that the base was operated by humans and aliens working together. I bring this up because Linda Moulton Howe found a witness who remote viewed the dark pyramid.

Speaker 124 She first saw a small building.

Speaker 8 She went in.

Speaker 108 Then she saw an elevator that went hundreds of feet down.

Speaker 8 She followed that.

Speaker 8 Then she found herself in what looked like a military facility.

Speaker 135 There was a lab.

Speaker 8 Then she saw a huge black sloped wall. She pulled away a bit.

Speaker 57 It was the dark pyramid.

Speaker 8 All around the pyramid was equipment, lights, people working. It was very busy.
She scanned the area and found a network of hallways and tunnels.

Speaker 134 She saw offices, sleeping areas, a kitchen.

Speaker 38 Finally, she found herself with a group of people being taken on a tour by the facility's leader.

Speaker 8 She was stunned.

Speaker 134 The tour guide was not human.

Speaker 50 It was human-like, but definitely not human.

Speaker 8 Then she learned the true purpose of the Dark Pyramid. It is an energy device.
It's a charging station for UFOs.

Speaker 33 There have been over 6,500 UFO sightings in the Alaska Triangle.

Speaker 8 It's one of the most active UFO hotspots in the world, and now we know why.

Speaker 134 The craft are using the pyramid for energy.

Speaker 50 And that's why the military never got it to work and they never will.

Speaker 44 The aliens in charge don't work for us.

Speaker 8 We work for them.

Speaker 8 When Linda Moulton Howe exposed the Dark Pyramid in 2012, the story was a phenomenon. And it's easy to see why.

Speaker 8 We've got credible witnesses and evidence of human activity in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness. Thousands of people really do go missing in Alaska every year.

Speaker 124 There really are thousands of UFO sightings there.

Speaker 8 But is the Dark Pyramid real? Well, let's dissect it. Our first witness is Douglas Mutchler, a former military intelligence officer.
Now, believers in the story say he's a very credible witness.

Speaker 8 He's provided documents that prove he is exactly who he says he is. That's true.
But if you follow this channel, you know how I feel about whistleblowers from military intelligence.

Speaker 8 I don't trust them. I'm not saying every one of them or any one of them is lying, but some of them are.
We know Richard Doty's shady history of spreading disinformation within the UFO community.

Speaker 8 Hal Putoff, Christopher Mellon, Luis Elizondo, David Grush, and now Doug Mutchler, all whistleblowers, all connected to military intelligence.

Speaker 8 Now, I'm not saying Doug Mutchler is lying, but I do view his story skeptically. In his defense, the Chinese did detonate an underground nuke on May 22nd, 1992.

Speaker 33 But that's five or six months earlier than Doug claims.

Speaker 8 But he waited 20 years to come forward. Maybe some of his details are hazy.
He said almost 40 other soldiers saw the news report about the underground pyramid.

Speaker 8 None of those soldiers have come forward. If you go to Linda's website, earthfiles.com, you could see the original emails Doug sent to her.
The details change a little over time.

Speaker 8 At some point, he says China informed the UN about the underground test. That didn't happen.
When the nuke went off in May, the world was taken by surprise, and the UN condemned the test.

Speaker 8 Still, he says this happened late November, early December 1992. There was no nuclear test done then.
There just wasn't. So there'd be no news report of it.

Speaker 8 But what's interesting is there was a major earthquake in Egypt in October 1992.

Speaker 8 The earthquake was a 5.3. the highest ever recorded in the area.

Speaker 13 At least 500 people died.

Speaker 8 The UN did come in to provide aid and monitor any damage to the ancient sites. There was news coverage of that for weeks because people were worried about the Sphinx and the pyramids.

Speaker 8 Now it's possible, it's even likely, that Doug is conflating a few different memories. And there's no shame in that.
Human memory is notoriously bad. But what about Lee Pearson and his son Bruce?

Speaker 57 Well, we only have Bruce's word.

Speaker 8 Same with Marty Johnson. These were real people, no doubt, but they haven't given us any physical evidence, only their word.
And what about remote viewers?

Speaker 51 Do you believe them?

Speaker 8 For the most part, I don't. But I do believe Pat Price saw something under Mount.

Speaker 8 Not only do I believe in Pat Price's ability, I believe he was killed because of it. Check out the episode on Project 8200.
I get into all the details.

Speaker 8 The last and most important name in the story is Linda Moulton Howe. I've followed her work for years.
She was great whenever she was on coast to coast with Art Bell. But she she is a true believer.

Speaker 8 Yes, she does her homework, but she goes into a story believing it and she focuses on investigating details to support the story. Lots of UFO and paranormal researchers do this.

Speaker 10 Almost all of them do.

Speaker 8 I approach these stories from the other side. I go in not believing, but I don't focus on debunking.
I honestly try to find as much evidence as I can to defend a hard-to-believe story.

Speaker 8 Sometimes after researching, I'll change my mind. I thought the hollow moon theory was nonsense until I did an episode on it.

Speaker 137 Now I'm pretty sure the moon is...

Speaker 19 the moon is weird.

Speaker 8 I thought crop circles were 100% man-made, but after researching, I can tell you this for sure. Almost 100% are man-made, but there are a few that can't be explained or debunked.
They just can't.

Speaker 8 I don't know if there's a pyramid buried in Alaska. But if there is, I'm pretty sure it can generate energy, just like the Great Pyramid of Giza did when the Adunaki built it 130,000 years ago.

Speaker 8 Prove me wrong.

Speaker 57 That is still one of my favorite episodes.

Speaker 8 Now we're going to go all the way back to the beginning to episode number 22 about Mount Rushmore. And this one's only six minutes long, but it feels a lot longer than that.

Speaker 28 3 plus 15 plus 00.

Speaker 19 It's one of the most recognizable and most visited landmarks in America.

Speaker 110 But Mount Rushmore has a secret.

Speaker 19 The sculpture, which famously depicts four former U.S. presidents as 60-foot granite faces, was constructed between 1927 and 1941 under the direction of architect Gutson Borglum.
Everybody knows that.

Speaker 19 But few people know about the secret project Borglum was working on as part of the monument. Let's find out why.

Speaker 20 Freedom, hope, justice.

Speaker 19 South Dakota's beloved national memorial, Mount Rushmore, is a testament to these deeply cherished American values.

Speaker 111 Justice?

Speaker 6 Tell that to the Indians they stole the land from.

Speaker 19 Let's keep it nice.

Speaker 6 You got it, Kimisabi.

Speaker 19 By the 1920s, South Dakota, now a U.S. state, had become a popular road trip destination for Americans.
They drove in to see the newly designed Black Hills National Forest and Wild Cave National Park.

Speaker 19 Governor Peter Norbick had also built the Needles Highway, a scenic route winding winding through the granite formations of the Black Hills.

Speaker 19 But Dawn Robinson, a historian at the South Dakota State Historical Society, believed the state needed a little something more to entice tourists.

Speaker 19 In 1924, he learned about an attempt to carve the likenesses of Confederate leaders into the side of Stone Mountain in Georgia. So, Robinson launched a campaign to create South Dakota's own monument.

Speaker 19 Robinson envisioned sort of an ode to the old west with historic figures like Lewis and Clark and Lakota leader Red Cloud.

Speaker 19 He reached out to Stone Mountain sculptor Gutson Borglum to transform the Granite Mountain into what it is today. Now, Borglum became famous for sculptures honoring U.S.
history.

Speaker 19 He was also famous for his flamboyant and bombastic personality. In Georgia, he became involved with the Stone Mountain Project, but soon began to clash with the Stone Mountain Memorial Association.

Speaker 19 And in February 1925, the association fired Borglum, citing mismanagement of funds and his offensive egotism and his delusions of grandeur.

Speaker 19 Borglum Borglum made national news when he destroyed the Stone Mountain models and fled the state.

Speaker 6 That sounds perfect for a government project.

Speaker 19 Borglum was talked into working on Mount Rushmore because it was a chance at immortality, and he liked the sound of that.

Speaker 19 So over the next 16 years, Borglum wrestled with the federal government over funding and control of Mount Rushmore, which he technically never completed.

Speaker 19 Borglum wanted to carve the presidents down to their waists and chisel a description of the memorial next to them.

Speaker 19 But when it became clear that there wasn't enough space for an inscription or a lot of this stuff, he came up with a new idea.

Speaker 19 He envisioned a grand hall measuring 80 feet tall and 100 feet long, accessible via an 800-foot granite staircase that would include busts of famous Americans, as well as bronze and glass cabinets containing historical documents like the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence, and a massive bronze eagle with a 38-foot wingspan would be mounted above the entrance with the inscription reading, the Hall of Records.

Speaker 19 Now, Borgman believed that future generations might find Mount Rushmore as much a mystery as Stonehenge or the Pyramids of Egypt, so he wanted to come up with a way to preserve its history and make sure the story behind the carving would never be forgotten.

Speaker 19 So the vault was built to be just behind Abraham Lincoln's hairline and would contain all the information anyone would ever need to know about the mountain.

Speaker 6 Wait, wait, wait, so they would have to blow a hole in Lincoln's head to do this?

Speaker 22 Yeah.

Speaker 6 And nobody saw a problem with that.

Speaker 19 You know, I never really thought of that.

Speaker 6 Six Semper Tyrannis.

Speaker 19 Work on the Hall of Records began in July 1938, but was halted a year later. Congress wanted construction to focus on the presidents first before moving on to the hall.

Speaker 6 Everyone's got a side project.

Speaker 26 I know.

Speaker 6 Hey, you want to read my screenplay?

Speaker 72 Nope.

Speaker 19 Despite what Congress said, Borglum, he went ahead with the project anyway.

Speaker 19 The onset of World War II in 1941 slowed down the vault project.

Speaker 19 They only got as far as a 70-foot cavern blasted into the mountain, and Borgland was still refining the presidents when his health began to deteriorate.

Speaker 19 He died on March 6, 1941, leaving his son Lincoln to continue the work. But the project kept running into problems.
For example, Jefferson's head couldn't be completed due to the quality of the stone.

Speaker 19 In fact, Jefferson was originally supposed to be on Washington's right side, but the stone was too weak, so they kind of improvised as they went along.

Speaker 19 Now, eventually, funding ran out and the project was declared final and complete on October 31st, 1941.

Speaker 138 Finished!

Speaker 142 Yep, finished.

Speaker 19 The statues are incomplete, the inscription was never started, and the rock that was blasted out of the mountain is still lying in a huge pile at the site.

Speaker 70 They said it was good enough.

Speaker 6 It sounds like a government-run project.

Speaker 19 So, for over 50 years, the Hall of Records was just a hole in Lincoln's head.

Speaker 22 Right.

Speaker 19 But for decades, Borglum's descendants petitioned the government to complete the room in honor of his work. And finally, in 1998, officials agreed to a scaled-back version of the idea.

Speaker 19 Today, sculpted into a series of porcelain enamel panels, is the story and history of Mount Rushmore, along with an explanation of why Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln were chosen.

Speaker 19 There are also panels sculpted with the text of the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, and the Gettysburg Address.

Speaker 61 Park officials even included a biography of Borglum.

Speaker 19 They're all kept inside a titanium vault behind a giant 1,200-pound granite slab. Now, the Hall of Records, it's not open to the public.

Speaker 19 Strict security measures have been put in place following a breach by Greenpeace, who hung a banner reading, Stop Global Warming, over the monument in 2009.

Speaker 6 What does Mount Rushmore have to do with global warming?

Speaker 19 I honestly have no idea. Even high-ranking officials of the government are banned from seeing this hidden and largely unknown chamber.

Speaker 19 But its true intent was to serve as a historical record for future civilizations, so we can imagine that Borglum would be pleased to know that his project was finally completed and may one day do exactly what he intended.

Speaker 6 Oh, six minutes. Those were the days, huh?

Speaker 8 Things were simpler, that's for sure.

Speaker 6 Hey, how many views did that video get the first day?

Speaker 9 192.

Speaker 6 Thousand?

Speaker 9 No, just 192.

Speaker 6 Ah, well, don't feel bad. That video wasn't very good.

Speaker 8 Anyway, next is episode number 39 about Diatlov Pass, which is an incident in which some hikers ran into some grisly misfortune on the mountain.

Speaker 8 And this is one of the first episodes I was proud of because I think I came up with a plausible explanation for what happened to them.

Speaker 78 At least, I hope I'm right, because

Speaker 136 it's pretty gruesome.

Speaker 8 But this episode does have a touching ending. Enjoy.

Speaker 28 3 plus 1-5-0-0.

Speaker 45 When the helicopter rescue team arrived at the Deotlov Pass in February 1959, the nine missing hikers had been dead for weeks.

Speaker 45 The more the investigators tried to piece together what happened, the more the story didn't seem to add up.

Speaker 45 Their tent had been cut open from the inside and abandoned, but there was no sign of a struggle.

Speaker 45 And over a half mile away, two victims were almost completely naked, though temperatures were 30 below zero that night.

Speaker 55 Other bodies were found even farther away.

Speaker 19 Two had fractured skulls.

Speaker 54 Two more had major chest injuries.

Speaker 45 One was missing his eyes and another was missing her tongue.

Speaker 62 And reports show that two of the hikers had been exposed to unusually high amounts of radiation.

Speaker 45 Soviet investigators listed the cause of death as a compelling natural force and closed the case a few weeks later.

Speaker 45 The Dyatlov Pass incident has been a mystery for over 60 years, and theories include a military cover-up, a KGB operation gone wrong, a Bigfoot attack, and of course, aliens.

Speaker 120 Now, one researcher believes he knows what happened that night.

Speaker 45 Others are not so sure.

Speaker 19 Let's find out why.

Speaker 45 In the winter of 1959, nine Russian adventurers were on a 200-mile cross-country hiking expedition making their way through the Siberian wilderness.

Speaker 45 This was difficult terrain, but the seven men and two women were young, fit, and highly experienced skiers and mountain climbers.

Speaker 45 They were led by 23-year-old Igor Dyatlov, a promising student studying engineering at the Ural Polytechnic Institute. A few others in the group were classmates of his at UPI.

Speaker 45 Now before he left, Dyatlov told his friends back home that he would send them a telegram as soon as the team returned.

Speaker 45 Well that letter was never sent, and none of the group was ever seen alive again. The hikers documented everything.

Speaker 13 They kept journals and they took tons of pictures.

Speaker 6 They took selfies?

Speaker 87 Tons of them.

Speaker 45 Now sure, there was lots of snow and frigid temperatures, but everyone was in good spirits and things seemed to be going predictably until February 1st.

Speaker 45 That day, the group was making its way through Dyatlov Dyatlov Pass, though back then it didn't have a name, and as they tried to push through, they were hit with high winds and snow.

Speaker 45 The decreasing visibility pushed the group off course, and they accidentally ended up on the side of a mountain called Kolatsiako by the region's indigenous people.

Speaker 6 Kola, Kulatz!

Speaker 45 Kolatsiako.

Speaker 109 Right.

Speaker 6 We got a translation.

Speaker 110 Dead mountain. No, boy.

Speaker 47 This is a photo of the group.

Speaker 45 In deep snow with almost zero visibility, digging out a platform for their tent.

Speaker 47 This is the last photo of them alive.

Speaker 145 The final entry in the group's diary reads, It is difficult to imagine such a comfort on the ridge, with shrill howling wind hundreds of kilometers away from human settlements.

Speaker 146 And then

Speaker 45 nothing.

Speaker 45 During their journey, members of the group sent postcards and letters to family and friends informing them of their progress. But weeks had gone by without a single word, so people began to worry.

Speaker 45 On February 26th, almost a month later, a search party was finally able to locate the campsite. And when they did, it was obvious something had gone terribly wrong.

Speaker 45 The tent, where the entire group slept, was discovered under a thin layer of snow. It had been cut open from the inside, but there was no sign of a struggle.

Speaker 45 Food, clothes, gear were still neatly stacked inside the tent. A meal had been set up, but the food was untouched.

Speaker 8 And there were no bodies.

Speaker 45 The next day, nine sets of footprints were found leading down the mountain into the woods.

Speaker 126 The tracks were evenly spaced and they weren't deep.

Speaker 45 And this told investigators that the group was moving calmly and orderly.

Speaker 55 They weren't scrambling, they weren't running, and they weren't fighting.

Speaker 148 But the tracks were odd.

Speaker 45 They weren't made with boots. The tracks were made by people wearing socks or barefoot in sub-zero temperatures.
Searchers then came across a cedar tree where they found the remains of a campfire.

Speaker 45 And near the fire, buried in the snow, were the first two victims of Dyatlov Pass, Doroshenko and Krivanoshenko.

Speaker 45 They were almost naked, wearing only underwear, though temperatures were 30 degrees below zero that night.

Speaker 45 Krivanoshenko had blackened fingers and third-degree burns on his shins and feet, and for some reason, in his mouth was a chunk of flesh that he had bitten off his right hand.

Speaker 45 The tree limbs above the fire were broken over five meters above the ground, and pieces of flesh were found in the tree bark, and scraps of clothing were found in the branches.

Speaker 45 Now, why would they climb a tree? Was visibility so poor that they were looking for a way back to the tent?

Speaker 33 Were they gathering wood for the fire?

Speaker 45 Or were they trying to get away from something?

Speaker 45 Rescuers expanded the search area and about 200 feet away, they found three more bodies, including Igor Dyatlov.

Speaker 45 They were positioned as if they were running away from the tree, trying to get back to the tent.

Speaker 45 Investigators said all of them had died of hypothermia, as they had no damage except for superficial injuries and what would be caused by exposure to cold.

Speaker 45 But this doesn't explain why Doroshenko, who was found under the tree, had skin that was brownish-purple or why he had gray foam and gray liquid coming out of his mouth.

Speaker 45 It didn't explain the burns, the flayed limbs, or why someone would bite off a chunk of their own hand. The second set of bodies was also confusing.

Speaker 45 One of them had multiple skull fractures consistent with falling and tumbling over and over again, but there were no bloody rocks or stumps or any evidence anywhere that a fall had occurred.

Speaker 45 The only explanation at this point that despite being highly experienced in outdoor winter survival, they had suddenly fled into the dark and the cold without adequate preparation and were frantically trying to make do before succumbing to the elements.

Speaker 6 That's only five. What? Well, that's only five out of nine hikers.
Did they find the out of four?

Speaker 45 They did, but not until months later. And when those bodies were discovered, the story gets even stranger.

Speaker 45 Four bodies were still missing for months, but in May, when the the snow began to melt, a local hunter found a makeshift snow den in the woods about 250 feet from the cedar tree.

Speaker 45 A deep hole was cut in the snow and the floor was made of branches. Pieces of clothing were found scattered around the den.

Speaker 45 Black sweatpants with the right leg cut off, the left half of a woman's sweater. Another search team arrived and they uncovered the four remaining victims lying together in at least 10 feet of snow.

Speaker 45 Autopsy reports say that these people died not of exposure, but of massive injuries. And at this point, criminal investigators were brought in to determine if there was foul play.

Speaker 45 Three of the bodies had severe injuries, crushed body cavities, broken ribs, and internal hemorrhaging.

Speaker 45 One had a skull fracture so severe that foul play was eliminated because no human could generate the kind of force to create this level of damage.

Speaker 45 Instead, the injuries were consistent with being in a car crash or near the explosion of a bomb.

Speaker 9 But no soft tissue damage was found and no external injuries.

Speaker 45 A careful inventory of clothing recovered showed that some of the victims were wearing clothes taken or cut off the bodies of the others that died before them.

Speaker 8 Avalanche?

Speaker 45 Well, that's what they originally thought, but an avalanche would have flattened the whole campsite.

Speaker 45 But if you look at the photos of the tent the searchers found, you can see that the skis and ski poles are still upright. There was no damage to the tree line, and there was no debris.

Speaker 23 And people who die of avalanches usually asphyxiate, but post-mortem analysis shows no sign of this.

Speaker 45 They either died from injuries or died of cold, but either way, when they died, they were still breathing. The locals say that the Otlov Pass doesn't get avalanches.

Speaker 45 None were reported before the incident and none have been reported since. And what's even more strange is two of the hikers' eyes were missing and one of them was missing her tongue.

Speaker 6 Avalanches don't do that.

Speaker 45 They don't. And maybe the strangest detail of all, two of the hikers' clothing had significant levels of radiation.

Speaker 45 Yep. Now despite all of the strange strange evidence, the case went nowhere due to what was called an absence of a guilty party.

Speaker 35 The investigation was closed a few weeks later.

Speaker 45 The final conclusion was that the cause of death was an unknown compelling force which the hikers were unable to overcome.

Speaker 6 And that was it?

Speaker 8 That was it.

Speaker 45 But the victims' families weren't satisfied, so they started demanding answers from the Soviet government.

Speaker 6 How did the Soviets respond?

Speaker 55 Well, all files, journals, and photographs were classified.

Speaker 45 The area was made off-limits, and all evidence collected was destroyed.

Speaker 73 Of course.

Speaker 45 But there is no shortage of theories about what happened. No, can we? We can.

Speaker 45 Theories about what happened at the Dyatlov Pass.

Speaker 113 There are some good ones.

Speaker 45 I'll cover a few, but I'll link to the full list in the description.

Speaker 19 The first theory is... Aliens?

Speaker 109 Be patient. Sorry, sorry.

Speaker 6 Go go ahead.

Speaker 45 Remember that a lot of the hikers were students at the Euro Polytechnic Institute or connected with UPI in some way?

Speaker 45 Well, UPI was constantly turning out recruits for nuclear research and the Soviet military.

Speaker 6 Ooh, I like where this is going.

Speaker 45 First theory, the KGB connection. Alexei Radikin wrote a book called The Outlook Pass where he claimed that three of the hikers were KGB agents on a mission to uncover a secret cell of CIA operatives.

Speaker 45 During the Cold War, a favorite Soviet tactic was to plant radioactive material in places it didn't belong, just to set the Americans on fruitless searches.

Speaker 45 Now Radikin says that two or three of the hikers were hired by the KGB to deliver radioactive tainted clothing to CIA agents.

Speaker 45 And the oldest member of the group, at age 37, Semyon Zolotaryov, joined the group at the last minute.

Speaker 45 He was a combat veteran with years of military service who eventually went to work for the NKVD or the Soviet secret police.

Speaker 45 And before transferring to the physics department at UPI, he worked in Moscow at a top-secret scientific facility known as P.O. Box 3394.
And Yuri Kravonoshenko worked at P.O.

Speaker 45 Box 404-10, 404-10, where a massive nuclear accident occurred in 1957. Alexei Radikin is convinced that this group was not gathered by accident.

Speaker 45 The histories of at least three of the hikers show a lot of KGB connection.

Speaker 45 The true objective of their mission, unknown to the other members, was to deliver radioactive samples to a group of agents of the CIA and take pictures of the spies.

Speaker 56 At the beginning of the journey, all the hikers had cameras and journals.

Speaker 140 We saw them.

Speaker 45 But when Kalevatov's body was discovered, his journal and camera were missing, and he was one of the suspected spies.

Speaker 23 Now, theory number two, like, who's this guy?

Speaker 64 Being diagnosed with multiple myeloma was life-changing for both me and my family.

Speaker 66 When my body stopped responding to treatment, I began searching for other options.

Speaker 68 This led me to CAR T-cell therapy.

Speaker 72 a personalized treatment that's made from my own blood cells, which are then genetically modified to find and attack cancer cells.

Speaker 45 In 2014, the Discovery Channel released a documentary called Russian Yeti, The Killer Lives.

Speaker 45 And they used the Dyatlov incident to make their case that the hikers had disturbed the natural habitat of a Yeti.

Speaker 61 And they used this photo as evidence.

Speaker 45 The doc went on to say that the Yeti was the reason the bodies were missing eyes and a tongue.

Speaker 24 Now, this photo photo has been authenticated.

Speaker 45 It's absolutely real. But it doesn't look much like a Bigfoot to me.
And that documentary was...

Speaker 62 well it was garbage.

Speaker 45 So next theory. Aliens!

Speaker 101 Ball lightning. Close enough.

Speaker 45 This theory says that the reason for the tent being cut from the inside was not to escape, but to set up a camera on a makeshift tripod.

Speaker 45 Dyotlov himself had experimented with telescopes and was interested in spaceflight and astronomy.

Speaker 45 The local Mansi people had reported seeing glowing golden orbs in the sky that same night, and another hiking group camping 50 kilometers away also reported orange floating orbs in the exact same place at the exact same time.

Speaker 45 There are even recovered photos from one of the cameras that shows some type of lights in the sky.

Speaker 45 Lev Ivanov, the lead investigator of the incident, said, I suspected at the time and I'm almost sure now that these bright flying spheres had a direct connection to the group's death.

Speaker 45 He also reported that the treetops in the area were burned above a certain height.

Speaker 45 In 1990, after Ivanov retired, he published an article claiming that the Soviet government forced him to abandon this theory and they removed everything from the report that mentioned UFOs, orbs, or anything unusual.

Speaker 51 He insisted the deaths were due to heat rays or balls of fire associated with orbs.

Speaker 19 Yes!

Speaker 45 Another scientific theory is that a rare weather event generated infrasound that caused the hikers to suddenly become disoriented and anxious.

Speaker 45 Donny Eicher, who spent five years researching the incident and actually visited the site, believes that a wind phenomenon called a Carmen vortex street could have produced a terrifying, powerful sound, which has proven to induce irrational fear in humans.

Speaker 45 We have a video about this on the channel, I'll link below.

Speaker 45 Now, if hit with infrasound, the group might have fled the tent and fallen victim to the cold before they realized what was happening.

Speaker 45 Now those are just a few of the theories that have been circulating for years. Some say a weapons test went wrong.
Others say the military killed the group and staged the scene.

Speaker 45 Carbon monoxide poisoning is another theory, or a bad mushroom trip, though toxicology reports discount those theories.

Speaker 6 If you believe the reports.

Speaker 45 If you believe the reports. Nobody has been able to come up with a definitive answer.
That is, until this year.

Speaker 45 Two scientists think they've solved the mystery of De Otlov Pass, and they use the movie Frozen to prove their theory.

Speaker 6 Did you just say they used Frozen?

Speaker 138 Yeah. The Disney movie?

Speaker 73 That's right.

Speaker 6 Let it go,

Speaker 22 let it go.

Speaker 22 That one?

Speaker 20 Yeah, that one.

Speaker 6 No, this I gotta hear.

Speaker 45 Though the avalanche theory has been mostly dismissed, a new theory has been proposed that the hikers were hit by a very specific and rare kind of avalanche.

Speaker 45 Johann Gohm, a scientist who studies snow phenomena, was watching the movie Frozen when...

Speaker 22 Let it go,

Speaker 6 let it go.

Speaker 6 I'm a fish and I like water.

Speaker 22 Let it go.

Speaker 45 You done?

Speaker 6 I love that movie.

Speaker 45 Gome noticed that Disney had created very realistic snow movement, so he worked with studio animators to develop a model that shows how the group could have been hit by what's called a delayed slab avalanche.

Speaker 45 This kind of avalanche occurs when you affect the warm, wet snow at the bottom of a slope. This causes the entire face of snow to eventually move at once.

Speaker 45 Now, think about when you have two books stacked on top of each other. You could tilt them and they'll stick together until you reach a certain angle.

Speaker 42 Top book slides.

Speaker 45 Now an avalanche only requires a 20 degree slope to trigger it. Now the Dyatlov camp was built at 23 degrees.

Speaker 45 Gome believes that when they cut into the snow to build their tent, it started a countdown. They initiated a chain reaction of micro disturbances that took a few hours to propagate.

Speaker 45 Now trapped under the slab, the group might have panicked and cut their way out. The injuries sustained by some of the group would have been consistent with another slab hitting them at full force.

Speaker 6 Yeah, but what about all the, you know, the doo-doo-doo-wee and stuff?

Speaker 151 Well, Gome says, we say that this is possible that such a slab avalanche could have injured them the way they were injured.

Speaker 151 Everything that happened after the avalanche is out of the scope of our paper.

Speaker 45 Though it wasn't snowing that night, the hikers did have journal entries about howling winds. These were most likely katabatic winds.

Speaker 45 And katabatic winds fall down a slope and quickly gain speed due to gravity. And the winds are hurricane force, and they were absolutely detected by local weather stations that night.

Speaker 45 So, the hikers cut their camp into the snow, which disturbed the slab, then katabatic winds started blowing snow on top of the slab above the tent, and over the course of hours, the weight of the snow above camp reached critical mass, causing the entire slab to fall.

Speaker 45 Now, using the Disney snow animation, it was shown that just a small avalanche, maybe five by five meters, would have been enough to cover the camp, but not enough snow that the rescue team would have noticed, especially since they didn't arrive on scene for 26 more days.

Speaker 45 So, given this new information, can we piece together what happened to Dyatlov and his friends that night?

Speaker 8 I think we can.

Speaker 45 KGB, UFOs, orbs of light? These are fun theories. But I think this is what happened.
The slab avalanche hits, covering them in a few feet of snow. The nine campers cut their way out of the tent.

Speaker 45 Yeah, but did. What?

Speaker 6 Why leave all this stuff in the tent and then go out in the cold in his skins?

Speaker 45 Well, it was discovered that they had a second stash of supplies in the forest. So they escape the avalanche, knowing they have backup supplies.
They retreat to the trees and start a fire.

Speaker 45 The young trees at the bottom of the slope were icy and wet, so they climbed the cedar in search of dry wood. But with temperatures 30 below zero, they had very little time to save themselves.

Speaker 45 The two most poorly dressed were probably the first to go.

Speaker 45 The burned skin, probably from being desperately close to the fire, and with hypothermia setting in, they were losing sensation and didn't realize they were being burned.

Speaker 45 Krivenoshenko, losing feeling and probably becoming delirious, bites his hand to test for sensation, and he dies within an hour.

Speaker 45 Seven survivors cut the clothes away from their friends and dress themselves in whatever they can scavenge from the bodies.

Speaker 45 Three of the group, including Dyatlov, try to make it back to the tent, but the steep incline and loose snow make it a difficult task. They soon freeze to death in the struggle uphill.

Speaker 45 The remaining four decide to build a snow shelter for the night.

Speaker 45 They find deep snow in a ravine a couple of hundred feet away, but their bad luck continues, and they pick a spot near a fast-running stream that never freezes.

Speaker 45 The stream cuts away the snow above their shelter, causing the roof to collapse. They're thrown onto the rocky stream bed and buried under 10 or 15 feet of snow.

Speaker 45 Now in general, snow weighs about 20 pounds per cubic foot, a little over a pound per inch of depth.

Speaker 45 A section of snow that's 20 feet by 20 feet with a depth of 10 feet, that weighs between 85,000 and 100,000 pounds. That's 50 tons falling on you.

Speaker 45 so it's like being crushed under a tank so your injuries would be severe the missing eyes and tongue probably caused by scavenging animals or just by three months of decomposition near running water what about the radiation right the lanterns they used which were found at the site contain small amounts of thorium which is radioactive and remember at least two of the hikers worked at a nuclear facility and helped with cleanup after an accident that was almost as bad as Chernobyl so in retrospect the nine campers made only one mistake, the placement of the tent.

Speaker 45 Everything else was by the book. They conducted an orderly evacuation to safer ground.
They took shelter in the woods, started a fire, and dug out a snow cave.

Speaker 45 The textbook wrong decision in an avalanche is to stay put. Unfortunately, that wrong decision might have saved their lives.

Speaker 45 Now, today, Dyatlov Pass is a popular tourist destination. People come from all over the world to follow the group's footsteps and see where the tent once stood.

Speaker 45 People say prayers at the stream and leave flowers under the cedar tree where its broken branches are still visible.

Speaker 45 And just before the team embarked on their adventure, Gravenoshenko wrote a poem addressing the entire group.

Speaker 152 Here's wishing you camps pitched on mounts afar. Routes to hike over ranges untamed.
Packs that as ever rest lightly on your backs.

Speaker 152 And weather that smiles smiles upon your quest, and let your footprints trace winding tracks across the map of Russia.

Speaker 45 It's been over 60 years since Yatlov and eight of his courageous friends died on Dead Mountain, but I'm sure they'd be proud to know that not only did they leave their footprints on the map of Russia, but on the map of the entire world.

Speaker 9 All right, let's change the tone a little bit.

Speaker 8 Next is

Speaker 8 another old episode, number 21, the science of ancient acoustic levitation.

Speaker 8 This is a theory that tries to explain how ancient people were able to move these giant stone blocks like to build the pyramid,

Speaker 8 Coral Castle, the Temple of Jupiter.

Speaker 15 Now, I know officially the Great Pyramid was built using ramps.

Speaker 98 Yeah, I don't know about that either.

Speaker 26 But it's very possible they were built by sound.

Speaker 8 And it's possible they were not built by Egyptians.

Speaker 19 Ancient civilizations possessed knowledge that has been lost to time. I think that's obvious.
But to be fair, most lost knowledge is probably not practical to us today anyway.

Speaker 19 I mean, who cares what bacterial infection some ancient Swami cured with pine nuts and prayer when we can just use an antibiotic?

Speaker 19 And if some shaman or witch doctor discovered how I can make Windows not update the very second I start a Zoom call, well, I'd love to know that secret.

Speaker 19 But shaman are typically Mac people, so not a problem for them. But what about ancient technologies that would be of practical use today? Like levitation, specifically levitating large heavy objects.

Speaker 153 Now, that would be useful.

Speaker 19 Many people believe levitation, specifically sound or acoustic levitation, was how ancient civilizations like the Egyptians built the pyramids. There's actual science that supports this.

Speaker 19 Let's find out why.

Speaker 19 The ruins of several ancient civilizations like the pyramids of Giza, Stonehenge in the UK, and many others are monuments constructed of massive stones. And the first question we have to ask is, why?

Speaker 19 Why use huge, ridiculously heavy pieces of stone when the same structures could have been made with smaller blocks like bricks?

Speaker 6 Yeah, they were showing off.

Speaker 19 But we're looking at that question through a modern lens based on the technologies that are available to us today.

Speaker 19 We do know that sound can levitate objects, and I'll get into how that works a little bit later. But current acoustic levitation technology can only move tiny objects with very little mass.

Speaker 19 Nobody's building pyramids at MIT. And if you are, awesome.
Some researchers think ancient cultures may have mastered levitation through sound, which allowed them to easily manipulate massive objects.

Speaker 6 Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.

Speaker 19 Yes, the Jedi were an ancient culture, but let's look at cultures in our own galaxy.

Speaker 19 How the Great Pyramids of Egypt were built has been the subject of debate for a long time.

Speaker 154 Aliens.

Speaker 19 The fact is, no one really knows for certain how they were constructed.

Speaker 6 Oh, the aliens know.

Speaker 19 The mainstream theory is that it took a workforce of about 5,000 men and 20 years to build the Great Pyramid using ropes, pulleys, ramps, and cranes.

Speaker 51 And that may very well be the case, though I have my doubts.

Speaker 19 And if you guys want a whole video on the construction of the pyramids, let me me know in the comments there's a lot to cover about pyramids for example they weren't built by slaves aliens don't need slaves can we can we cool it with the aliens for for just a minute

Speaker 19 but let's talk about the 10th century historian Abul Hassan Ali al-Masudi He's known as the Herodotus of the Arabs.

Speaker 19 And al-Masudi traveled all over the world, but finally settled in Egypt where he wrote a 30-volume history of the world.

Speaker 19 Like everyone, he was awestruck by the pyramids, and he wrote a very intriguing passage about how the giant stone blocks were transported.

Speaker 19 First, magic papyrus was imprinted with symbols and placed under each stone. Then the stone was struck with a metal rod that caused it to slowly rise above the ground.

Speaker 19 The stone then moved along a path that was paved with other stones and fenced in by metal poles. The stone traveled along this path for about 50 meters, then gently settled to the ground.

Speaker 19 And this process was then repeated over and over again until the builders had the stone exactly where they wanted it.

Speaker 19 Some believe metal poles could have been used to create high-frequency sound vibrations, which would have been responsible for creating the levitation effects.

Speaker 19 Now, given that the pyramids were already thousands of years old when Al-Masudi wrote this, we have to wonder where he got his information.

Speaker 19 Was this an oral history passed down through the generations, or just a great story created by a talented writer?

Speaker 6 Can I make a quick point? Go ahead. May I refer you to Clark's third law? Right.

Speaker 19 Clark's third law says any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Speaker 41 Bingo.

Speaker 19 The Great Pyramid of Giza does possess some extraordinary acoustic properties and can dramatically amplify sounds at certain frequencies.

Speaker 19 So the Egyptians clearly knew a lot about sound science and how it could be used to produce powerful effects, possibly including levitation.

Speaker 19 Did striking the rock create vibrations that resulted in sonic levitation? Maybe the layout of stones and rods created some kind of magnetic levitation.

Speaker 19 The science for either scenario is sufficiently advanced and therefore to Al-Masudi and to us is indistinguishable from magic.

Speaker 19 Now, the pyramids aren't the only ancient structures made of huge stone blocks.

Speaker 19 There are monuments around the world that contain stone components of such incredible size that they make the pyramids look tiny, but their construction remains a mystery.

Speaker 111 Let's look at a few more.

Speaker 19 The Temple of Jupiter at Baalbek, Lebanon contains the three largest stone blocks ever used in a man-made structure. Each block is estimated to weigh as much as 1,000 tons.

Speaker 19 Now, no industrial equipment in existence today could lift one, no super crane, and certainly no number of people, yet somehow they are positioned together so precisely that a sheet of paper can't fit between them.

Speaker 19 Now, nearby is an even bigger stone. It's known as Hajar el-Hibla, and it's the largest piece of stone ever cut by humans.
It weighs 1,200 tons.

Speaker 19 It's estimated it would take 16,000 men to even budget, and it would be a huge challenge of modern technology to just create it. Yet, there it is.
How did they do it?

Speaker 104 Nobody really knows.

Speaker 19 Let's go to the other side of the planet. On a remote plateau in Bolivia, 12,000 feet above sea level, there's a monument called Puerto del Sol, or Gate of the Sun.

Speaker 19 This elaborately carved megalith is a single piece of stone that weighs 10 tons.

Speaker 138 Cool.

Speaker 19 Well, how did it end up almost four kilometers up a mountain?

Speaker 155 And some scientists think that it may not be in its original location.

Speaker 53 And if that's so, where did it come from?

Speaker 19 Here's another.

Speaker 19 Medal is an archaeological site on the island of Pompeii in Micronesia, and it's been called the Machu Picchu of the Pacific. It's the only ancient city ever built upon a coral reef.

Speaker 19 And the engineering of Namedal is so complex, nobody can figure out how it was built.

Speaker 19 The lost city dates back to around 200 BC, and it's made up of hundreds of stacked stone logs, each about three meters long and about a meter in diameter.

Speaker 19 The logs, which are stacked kind of like firewood, create walls that are 40 feet high and 18 feet thick. That's taller than a three-story building, yet each stone log weighs about two and a half tons.

Speaker 19 And the logs that make up the high walls, they weigh as much as 50 tons each. How they were moved and lifted into position is absolutely baffling.

Speaker 19 The locals didn't have pulleys, they didn't have levers, they didn't even have access to metal. This is Stone Age technology, so how do they do it?

Speaker 19 Well, the locals tell stories about giants who flew great canoes in the sky.

Speaker 6 Aliens.

Speaker 19 And those aliens, I mean, giants,

Speaker 19 used some kind of magic to levitate the logs into place. Now, these are structures from very different and diverse cultures from all over the world.
What was their secret?

Speaker 19 Well, these societies are so old that there is no record of how these structures were constructed.

Speaker 19 But in almost every culture where megaliths exist, A legend also exists that the huge stones were moved by sound, either by striking with a rod to produce acoustic resonance, or by instruments, or by by simply chanting stones into position.

Speaker 19 Let's see how that works.

Speaker 19 For centuries, travelers from the Far East told tales of acoustic levitation. Some claim to have encountered mystics who possessed the ability to levitate themselves and objects using sound.

Speaker 19 One famous story comes from a medical doctor named Dr. Yall.
He had been brought to a remote area of Tibet in 1939 to treat a Buddhist holy man suffering from an unknown illness.

Speaker 19 After spending some time with the monks, Dr.

Speaker 19 Yal eventually gained their confidence, and to show their appreciation, they performed a demonstration of sonic levitation that left the good doctor astounded.

Speaker 19 They took him to a meadow that was surrounded by high cliffs, and in the middle of the clearing, about 250 meters from a cliff, was a heavy slab of stone.

Speaker 19 Then the monks arranged 19 musical instruments, 13 drums and six trumpets, in a 90 degree arc around the stone and started playing.

Speaker 19 The other monks began singing and chanting a prayer, slowly increasing the tempo. During During the first four minutes, nothing happened.

Speaker 19 Then as the speed of the drumming and the noise increased, the big stone block started to rock and sway and suddenly took off into the air and continued to rise until it landed on a hilltop about 250 meters above the ground.

Speaker 19 This demonstration was repeated multiple times for Dr. Yahl, who actually took film footage of this.

Speaker 78 What?

Speaker 6 Where's the film?

Speaker 19 Oh, that's confiscated and classified.

Speaker 6 Well, that's a piece of bullsh ⁇ .

Speaker 91 I know.

Speaker 19 I actually found a paper that explains scientifically how this levitation might have actually worked. Link below.

Speaker 54 And if you're into geometry and geodetics, you're going to love it.

Speaker 6 Sounds moving.

Speaker 6 You see what I did there?

Speaker 19 Another creation credited with acoustic levitation is the Coral Castle located in Florida. The Coral Castle is a sprawling stone compound built by Edward Leeds Skalnin between the years 1923 and 1951.

Speaker 19 The complex is constructed of nearly 1,000 tons of rock, which Leed Skalnin somehow cut, shaped, lifted, and maneuvered into place all by himself. Just him.

Speaker 19 FYI, he was five foot tall and weighed 100 pounds.

Speaker 121 I ruined the moment tonight.

Speaker 19 Leed Skaldin refused to allow visitors or observers on site while he was working, so there are no eyewitness accounts detailing his construction methods.

Speaker 19 Yet, alone working mostly at night, he was somehow able to cut and transport a thousand tons of rock to use for walls and towers.

Speaker 19 He also built all kinds of buildings and sculptures, all from giant pieces of stone. An obelisk he raised weighs 28 tons and the largest rock on the property weighs an estimated 35 tons.

Speaker 19 Now some of these stones are twice the weight of the largest blocks in the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Speaker 12 All this he did alone and without heavy machinery.

Speaker 19 The most amazing thing to me is the stone gate. It weighs nine tons and has about a quarter inch of clearance inside the the frame.

Speaker 19 It's so well balanced that you could push it open with a single finger. This is something that would be challenging for even the most experienced engineering and construction team.

Speaker 19 Yet somehow Leed Skalnin was able to do it alone.

Speaker 109 Nope.

Speaker 19 Leed Skalnin never specifically identified sound as a key factor in his work, but he had an interest in radio and owned all kinds of sound equipment, which he used for unknown purposes.

Speaker 19 Now, no one ever saw him lift enormous objects, though the story goes that spying teenagers saw him float coral blocks through the air like hydrogen balloons.

Speaker 6 I love this guy.

Speaker 19 I do too.

Speaker 142 I have discovered the secrets of the pyramids and have found out how the Egyptians and the ancient builders in Peru, Yucatan and Asia with only primitive tools, raised and set in place blocks of stone weighing many tons.

Speaker 19 He told friends ancient masters had developed a method for overcoming the force of gravity and that as a practicing Freemason, he was exposed to this knowledge through his contacts in that secret organization.

Speaker 6 This guy built an Illuminati sandcastle with magnets?

Speaker 109 He might have.

Speaker 9 With magnets or sound or both.

Speaker 19 I mean, there's actual science behind some of this.

Speaker 19 Unless you're in a vacuum, sound is everywhere. Sound is created by vibrating molecules of a medium like air or water into waves.

Speaker 19 The waves hit our eardrums or our skull and our brain decodes the wavelengths into sound.

Speaker 19 We don't usually think of sound as having a physical presence, but acoustic waves can absolutely affect the environment. Think of a nightclub or a concert where you could just feel the bass.

Speaker 19 Or how ultrasound is used to pulverize kidney stones, or how singing the right note or wavelength with a sufficient volume or amplitude can shatter glass.

Speaker 19 There are even sound waves that can make people sick. We've got a video coming up on this, so hit subscribe, hit the bell, like, share.

Speaker 75 Hey!

Speaker 19 Don't oversell it.

Speaker 6 I'm sorry, I get excited.

Speaker 19 Anyway, current acoustic levitation techniques use sound traveling through media, usually gas, to counteract the force of gravity. A basic acoustic levitator has two main parts.

Speaker 19 A transducer, which is really just the surface that creates the sound by vibrating, kind of like a speaker.

Speaker 19 And there's also a reflector, which helps focus the sound waves on the object you want to levitate. Now, to get this to work, there's quite a bit of math involved.

Speaker 19 For example, the distance between the transducer and the reflector must be a multiple of half of the wavelength of the sound.

Speaker 19 Now, this is because you need to get enough molecules lined up under the object in order to lift it. If you just blast sound at an object, all you're doing is scattering a bunch of molecules around.

Speaker 138 That won't work.

Speaker 19 But if we remember the story about the Tibetan monks, they were using this precise technique.

Speaker 19 They played specific instruments in unison, just like a transducer, focused at a specific object from a specific distance, like a reflector.

Speaker 19 I bet if we knew the actual sounds of their instruments, we'd see a correlation between the wavelengths they emitted and the distance to the stone.

Speaker 19 Now, I'm not saying the monks actually got this to work, but I am saying the science is sound.

Speaker 111 A pun?

Speaker 138 No, no, no, no,

Speaker 138 it was so terrible.

Speaker 19 No, no, I didn't mean to do that.

Speaker 138 Oh, shame on you.

Speaker 19 So now that we've seen that sound can be used to move objects, is this enough evidence to prove how the pyramids were constructed? For some people, yes. For most, no.
For me, I'm not really sure.

Speaker 19 Could the pyramids have been constructed using pulleys, ramps, and cranes, like mainstream Egyptologists claim? Well, sure.

Speaker 19 But when you look at the sheer size those ramps would need to be and the distances involved, the amount of materials required to build the scaffolding would be more than the material in the actual pyramids.

Speaker 19 Much more.

Speaker 117 So

Speaker 19 where are all the construction materials? To me, there seems like there's something going on here, but we can't even talk about this without being labeled kooks.

Speaker 19 Any challenge of established scientific dogma is labeled pseudoscience.

Speaker 86 Isn't that a bit arrogant?

Speaker 155 I mean, isn't pseudoscience only pseudoscience until it's actual science?

Speaker 19 But People are afraid to go up against the establishment. Kepler and Copernicus were ridiculed by their peers.
Louis Pasteur's research was rejected by the medical establishment.

Speaker 19 Gregor Mendel, Nikola Tesla, initially they were rejected. Imagine the hate they'd get if Twitter existed? But that's a long time ago.
Surely we've matured since then.

Speaker 19 Think about this. In 1903, when the Wright brothers and others were building airplanes, The New York Times said manned flight would not be possible for one to ten million years.

Speaker 64 Oops.

Speaker 19 And in 1985, the New York Times said no matter how inexpensive or powerful a laptop computer would become, nobody would want one.

Speaker 6 No boys.

Speaker 61 And when Apple announced the iPhone, the Times said they'd probably never build it, and even if they did, nobody would buy it.

Speaker 108 And speaking of Twitter, here's what the New York Times said when it launched.

Speaker 157 Using Twitter for literate communication is about as likely as firing up a CV radio and hearing some guy recite the Iliad.

Speaker 157 Whether the service could be made into a sustainable business, quite unknown.

Speaker 158 I'm skeptical.

Speaker 6 Haven't I always told you don't trust the media? You have.

Speaker 19 If you suggest that levitating heavy objects with sound or creating free energy is even possible, you're viciously attacked. Not just by Facebook and Twitter, but by the New York freaking Times.

Speaker 19 Aren't new ideas worth exploring? Did Steve Jobs care what people thought about him? Does Elon Musk care? No, they just went out and changed the world.

Speaker 18 So my message today is not to the corporate media or social media.

Speaker 19 They make money by getting all of us to attack each other.

Speaker 111 That's their business model.

Speaker 19 It's shameful and that's why nobody trusts them. Who cares? George Bernard Shaw said, all great truths begin as blasphemies.

Speaker 19 This message is to those blasphemers, to the recluse out there building castles with sound and magnets and his own hands, to the nerd in the garage tinkering with electronics because he knows in his heart there is a better way.

Speaker 19 This message is to the next Kepler, Jobs, Elon Musk, to the misfits and dreamers and visionaries.

Speaker 18 My message is to you.

Speaker 19 They are going to attack you. They are going to hate you.

Speaker 140 Ignore them.

Speaker 64 Keep dreaming.

Speaker 132 Keep building.

Speaker 18 Keep blaspheming.

Speaker 19 Because I can tell you with 100% certainty, the world needs you much more than it needs the New York Times.

Speaker 109 I think...

Speaker 8 That is another episode we could probably revisit and expand on now that I'm allowed to do episodes longer than 18 minutes.

Speaker 8 Anyway, we're up to our last one. We made it.

Speaker 126 Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't be screaming because most of you are asleep.

Speaker 8 Episode 81 is next. It's about how the Great Pyramid of Giza could have been a power plant.

Speaker 8 And I know if you haven't seen the episode, that sounds far-fetched, but

Speaker 8 I will explain scientifically how through chemical reactions, it absolutely could have been possible. This is a fun one.

Speaker 63 Nikola Tesla believed that he could harness the energy from inside the Earth and transmit that power wirelessly around the world.

Speaker 139 His early experiments were successful, but his research mysteriously vanished after his death.

Speaker 26 There is no evidence left of Tesla's wireless power technology, or is there?

Speaker 160 For years, we were taught that the Great Pyramid of Giza was a tomb for a king.

Speaker 15 It wasn't.

Speaker 110 It had a different purpose.

Speaker 21 Tesla didn't invent wireless power.

Speaker 126 It's been here for 5,000 years and probably a lot longer than that.

Speaker 107 Okay, why were the pyramids built?

Speaker 6 Storage for dead mummies.

Speaker 14 Dead mummies?

Speaker 4 It's a tautology.

Speaker 149 Mainstream Egyptology says that the Great Pyramid of Giza is a tomb built for Khufu, the fourth dynasty Egyptian pharaoh who ruled 4,500 years ago.

Speaker 132 But the Great Pyramid doesn't have any characteristics of other Egyptian tombs.

Speaker 147 The Great Pyramid contains no artifacts, no hieroglyphs, and no elaborate wall art.

Speaker 160 It's been argued that the granite sarcophagus found in the king's chamber once contained Khufu's mummy.

Speaker 15 There's no evidence that a mummy was ever there.

Speaker 107 No mummy has ever been found in any pyramid, ever. Ancient Egyptians considered their pharaohs gods.

Speaker 110 The Great Pyramid is a strange structure for a god.

Speaker 9 Small chambers, narrow shafts, no markings at all?

Speaker 47 The way the pyramid was built and the materials used to build it suggest it had a different purpose.

Speaker 61 The sides of the pyramid are aligned with the compass with such accuracy that only modern engineering can match it.

Speaker 131 The Great Pyramid is a mountain made of 2.5 million blocks of stone weighing 6 million tons, piled 481 feet high.

Speaker 132 Its footprint is over 13 acres.

Speaker 147 To align this construction within 1 15th of a degree of true north is impossible precision.

Speaker 149 The base of the Great Pyramid is leveled within 3 quarters of an inch.

Speaker 47 The only way to do this with modern structures is to use lasers.

Speaker 144 Even though the sides of the pyramid are over 755 feet long, made of stone blocks weighing between 2 and 40 tons each, each side is within 2 inches of any other.

Speaker 107 That's 99.98% accurate.

Speaker 132 Fun fact, the pyramid doesn't have four sides.

Speaker 111 It actually has eight.

Speaker 26 Each side is slightly concave that you can only really see from directly above, or when the pyramid casts shadows during the equinoxes.

Speaker 15 And yes, those angles too are perfect.

Speaker 149 Whoever built the pyramids somehow knew the size of the Earth.

Speaker 107 If you take the height of the pyramid and multiply it by 43,200, you get 3,938.685 miles, which is within 11 miles of the polar radius of the planet. That's 99.7% accurate.

Speaker 14 If you take the perimeter of the base of the pyramid and multiply that by 43,200, you get 24,734.94 miles.

Speaker 132 That's the Earth's circumference at the equator with a 99.3% accuracy.

Speaker 8 We know that the ancients were obsessed with equinoxes when the day and the night are the same lengths.

Speaker 139 The length of the day and night on an equinox is 43,200 seconds.

Speaker 132 Now, skeptics will say this relationship between 43,200 and the size of the Earth is forced.

Speaker 15 They say, well, the planet is different sizes in different places, so this is just a coincidence.

Speaker 6 No, is this one of those episodes where we make the skeptics look like idiots? A little bit, yeah. Oh, good, I love those.

Speaker 26 Don't close.

Speaker 22 Own the skeptics.

Speaker 126 Most of the Great Pyramid is constructed of nummulite limestone, the reddish-brown blocks that we see today.

Speaker 15 This rock is found close to the site and is abundant.

Speaker 47 But the builders of the pyramid also use unusual materials not found locally.

Speaker 126 The exterior of the pyramid was once covered in casing stones made of bright white limestone.

Speaker 47 They were polished smooth and fit together so tightly that no seams were visible.

Speaker 110 These casing stones were cut and shipped from a quarry in Tura, almost 500 miles away.

Speaker 131 That's like carrying thousands of 10-ton stone blocks the length of the entire state of Florida.

Speaker 19 They must have been special.

Speaker 131 Unlike the limestone cut locally, Tour limestone lacks magnesium.

Speaker 61 This makes it an excellent insulator.

Speaker 132 Limestone can carry an electrical current.

Speaker 110 Tour limestone can't.

Speaker 9 Interior chambers were built with a rare type of granite called rose granite, also brought from hundreds of miles away.

Speaker 131 This granite has a high concentration of silicon dioxide, also known as quartz.

Speaker 110 When quartz is compressed or even just moved, it creates a charge called piezoelectricity.

Speaker 109 One face of the quartz will have a positive charge, the other will have a negative charge.

Speaker 15 Connect the two faces together and you have an electrical circuit.

Speaker 61 Because of this property, quartz is used in all kinds of modern devices like watches, clocks, TVs, GPS units, and on and on.

Speaker 47 To charge a watch that uses quartz, all you have to do is shake it. And if you've ever used a barbecue lighter, the voltage is created by a quartz crystal.

Speaker 14 The king and queen's chambers were built with granite that is 85% quartz.

Speaker 9 The tunnels and passageways are also lined with quartz-rich granite.

Speaker 107 If pressure was applied to all this granite, it would generate a tremendous amount of electricity, turning the pyramid into a giant power plant.

Speaker 148 And there's proof that this is exactly what happened.

Speaker 61 The idea that the Great Pyramid was a power plant is not new.

Speaker 126 It was first proposed in the 1970s.

Speaker 15 It was and is considered a fringe theory.

Speaker 6 Fringier?

Speaker 105 Fringier. Now that doesn't sound right.

Speaker 8 Um, uh, what's what's your problem?

Speaker 15 Oh, I'm sorry.

Speaker 147 Is the show interrupting your train of thought?

Speaker 113 Sarcasm, nice.

Speaker 124 But what do you expect?

Speaker 107 I'm trying to set up the show here, and it's it's so easy to do when you're jumping in with comments.

Speaker 113 As more and more discoveries were made over the years, more evidence emerged that the Great Pyramid as a power plant wasn't fringe science, but actual science.

Speaker 126 One of the most compelling cases comes from Christopher Dunn.

Speaker 47 He believes the process starts in the subterranean chamber.

Speaker 110 Below the pyramid are aquifers.

Speaker 126 As water moves through the underground cavities, sound waves are created.

Speaker 61 The frequency of these waves resonate with the Earth's natural vibration.

Speaker 136 As those waves move up through the pyramid, a process is used to magnify, focus, and convert the sound into energy.

Speaker 146 The Queen's Chamber was used for a chemical reaction that created hydrogen, and there's substantial proof of this.

Speaker 136 There are two interior shafts that lead to the Queen's Chamber.

Speaker 54 The northern shaft has traces of hydrochloric acid.

Speaker 126 The southern has traces of hydrated zinc chloride.

Speaker 132 Combining these two chemicals creates a volatile reaction that generates hydrogen.

Speaker 26 A lot of hydrogen.

Speaker 63 This hydrogen gas would flow from the queen's chamber through the horizontal passage and into the grand gallery.

Speaker 139 The grand gallery is also made of granite.

Speaker 111 As the hydrogen gas builds up, the pressure compresses the granite, creating electricity.

Speaker 15 This electricity also ionizes the air, increasing conductivity.

Speaker 136 Within the grand gallery were 27 or 28 pairs of resonators that would vibrate and emit sound.

Speaker 126 The hydrogen atoms would organize themselves into waves in sympathy with the sound waves of the gallery.

Speaker 153 These sound waves further excite the stone, creating even more electricity.

Speaker 9 Uh, that's right, but somehow when you say it, it sounds dirty.

Speaker 12 Hey, I'm a naughty, naughty fish.

Speaker 42 Acoustic engineers have determined the gallery resonates at 440 Hertz and naturally emits an F-sharp chord.

Speaker 150 440 Hertz and the F-sharp chord have been connected to a lot of woo-woo ideas, but there's a reason for that.

Speaker 61 It's considered a sound that resonates in harmony with the earth. The builders of the pyramid knew this.

Speaker 113 Longtime Mac users will recognize this sacred chord.

Speaker 47 At the top of the gallery is a small shaft leading to the king's chamber.

Speaker 63 The opening is 8.4 by 4.8 inches.

Speaker 108 This is the perfect size for hydrogen microwaves to pass into the king's chamber, which also resonates at 440 Hz and F sharp.

Speaker 110 Above the king's chamber are five layers of granite beams, stacked and separated by air gaps.

Speaker 150 This is called the relieving chamber because it was believed that this interior structure relieved the weight of the pyramid.

Speaker 137 That's not what it does.

Speaker 61 The beams are smooth on three sides, but rough cut on the top.

Speaker 120 Christopher Dunn believes the reason for the rough cut is, this is how the beams were tuned.

Speaker 63 The builders could vibrate the granite beams and slowly chip away at the stone until they resonated with an F sharp chord, which they do.

Speaker 15 The king's chamber is what's known as a Helmholtz resonator.

Speaker 55 When you blow air across the top of a bottle and create sound, that's a Helmholtz resonator.

Speaker 33 Change the volume of liquid in the bottle or change the volume of stone within the chamber, you change the pitch.

Speaker 148 The entire complex is a giant musical instrument.

Speaker 113 Now, some skeptics reluctantly agree that the Great Pyramid has musical properties, but for skeptics to consider the pyramid as a power plant, they would need evidence to show that a giant stone pyramid would respond to electromagnetic energy.

Speaker 47 There was no evidence of that until 2018.

Speaker 26 Whether true or not, it's scientifically possible that the Great Pyramid was a structure for creating, harnessing, and focusing energy.

Speaker 160 The exterior was made of material that insulates electricity.

Speaker 54 The interior was made of material that conducts electricity. The chambers were made of material that creates electricity.

Speaker 149 The next piece of evidence is the pyramid's ability to focus EM energy.

Speaker 120 In 2018, scientists used radio waves at different frequencies to see if the Great Pyramid would interact with electromagnetic waves of a resonant length.

Speaker 113 Their experiments proved that in a resonant state, the pyramid can concentrate electromagnetic energy in the internal chambers as well as under its base.

Speaker 61 Resonance in the pyramid can be induced by radio waves with the lengths ranging from 200 to 600 meters.

Speaker 126 The closer to 200 meters, the more dramatic the effect.

Speaker 26 A year after that, in 2019, Eric Wilson published a paper called A Large Scale Thermal Acoustic Generator.

Speaker 26 The paper describes how when granite and other rocks are vibrated, electrons will migrate through the rock and up to the surface.

Speaker 146 By combining science and music, the builders of the pyramid created a power generating machine tuned to the natural harmonic of the Earth's vibration, vibration that primarily comes from the tidal energy created by the moon's gravity.

Speaker 153 This technology created thousands of years ago could generate unlimited clean energy.

Speaker 61 But how did they get the energy out?

Speaker 63 That brings us back to Tesla.

Speaker 110 His Wordencliffe Tower was built on top of an aquifer, with copper and iron rods extending down into the water.

Speaker 61 When electricity was sent into the tower, it was to be transmitted around the world through the atmosphere.

Speaker 131 The pyramid is also built on an aquifer, and copper pipes and iron rods have recently been discovered there.

Speaker 149 If the capstone was made of gold, the energy concentrated inside the pyramid would have been drawn to the top and transmitted to the atmosphere.

Speaker 149 Tesla's wireless power distribution system used the resonance of the Earth, just like the pyramid and just like the pyramid the energy generated by tesla's tower would be unlimited clean and virtually free for everyone on the planet but tesla's tower was destroyed by outside forces there's evidence that the great pyramid was destroyed from within

Speaker 139 in the year 1900 nikola tesla convinced jp morgan to fund a project to create a wireless communication system when tesla received the funding he decided to scale up the project.

Speaker 26 Rather than transmit messages around the world, he would transmit power.

Speaker 143 Tesla had already demonstrated that wireless power would work on a small scale.

Speaker 26 He famously had light bulbs scattered on the ground that would illuminate when a Tesla coil was activated nearby.

Speaker 153 Now he wanted to go bigger.

Speaker 9 He explained this world-changing technology to JP Morgan and asked him for more money to complete the project.

Speaker 108 Rather than support Tesla, Morgan pulled his funding, claiming breach of contract.

Speaker 147 JP JPMorgan owned General Electric, which would be made obsolete.

Speaker 61 He owned AT ⁇ T, which would also become obsolete.

Speaker 110 JPMorgan owned copper mines all over the world, and his factories generated miles of copper wire.

Speaker 136 JPMorgan owned rubber farms and factories that created insulation for wire.

Speaker 126 He owned steel companies and factories that built power generators.

Speaker 26 He owned timber mills that created telegraph and electricity poles.

Speaker 61 He owned coal mines that fueled existing power plants. And he owned two dozen railroads that transported all these resources around the country.

Speaker 143 None of this would be necessary if Tesla created free, unlimited wireless power.

Speaker 147 For several years, Tesla wrote JP Morgan almost every month, begging him to reconsider.

Speaker 109 He wouldn't.

Speaker 107 Instead, JPMorgan chose to finance Tesla's competitors, Edison and Marconi, who were improving on and getting rich from Tesla's inventions.

Speaker 136 And not only did JPMorgan refuse any further investment, but he also put out word to everyone in the wealthy investor class that Tesla should be avoided.

Speaker 47 He was essentially blacklisted.

Speaker 15 By 1915, Tesla had accumulated so much debt that the bank foreclosed on the Wardencliffe property.

Speaker 9 The tower was demolished in 1917 and sold for scrap.

Speaker 47 The project was never completed.

Speaker 54 Tesla was a genius, but he was at a disadvantage.

Speaker 55 Men like Edison and Marconi knew how to bring Tesla's inventions to market.

Speaker 153 They knew how to make technology accessible.

Speaker 108 And most of all, they knew how to play the game.

Speaker 15 You don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Speaker 136 That's why 84% of the world's energy is created from fossil fuels.

Speaker 26 It's also why Tesla died alone and broke.

Speaker 153 It's possible that the Great Pyramid suffered some catastrophic event that caused it to stop working.

Speaker 47 In addition to hydrochloric acid, there are traces of sulfuric acid in the southern shaft.

Speaker 120 In the northern shaft, there's zinc chloride and ammonium chloride.

Speaker 61 These chemicals can create hydrogen without being mixed, but if you do combine ammonium chloride with sulfuric acid, you get more than a reaction.

Speaker 156 You get an explosion.

Speaker 110 Because of the structure of the pyramid, this explosion could be controlled, but there's evidence that an uncontrolled explosion may have occurred.

Speaker 61 In 2001, in the Grand Gallery, scorch marks were discovered in the ceiling above where the resonators would have been.

Speaker 147 In the king's chamber, cracks have been found in the granite beams.

Speaker 61 At first, this was thought to be caused by an earthquake, but the damage was only found in areas of the pyramid where the flow of highly compressed, heated hydrogen occurred.

Speaker 147 The walls in the king's chamber have been pushed out over an inch.

Speaker 98 It takes a lot of pressure to push tons of granite out that far.

Speaker 15 The great step outside the king's chamber also shows extensive damage like that from an explosion, not an earthquake.

Speaker 61 Other parts of the interior also show signs of charring.

Speaker 47 When the southern shaft was discovered, it was coated with salt about an inch thick.

Speaker 61 This would happen if hydrogen was boiling and bubbling up the shaft.

Speaker 153 What caused the pyramid power plant to explode is not known, but Christopher Dunn believes it was some sort of cataclysm, not an earthquake, but maybe an asteroid impact.

Speaker 61 There's a problem with this theory though.

Speaker 54 The ancient Egyptians kept meticulous records of everything.

Speaker 146 There is no record of an impact during this time.

Speaker 47 Dunn believes it happened thousands of years earlier.

Speaker 63 And that brings me to this thought.

Speaker 47 Skeptics will say if the ancient Egyptians used electricity, there would be documentation, even hard evidence of it.

Speaker 26 You'll see true believers point to glyphs that look like light bulbs, but I honestly think that's a stretch.

Speaker 153 There's no evidence the Egyptians worked with glass or any components used to make a light bulb.

Speaker 153 So why is there no evidence of the use of electricity in ancient Egypt and no record of electricity being generated by the Great Pyramid?

Speaker 107 Well, because the ancient Egyptians didn't build it.

Speaker 107 There really is no debate by mainstream academics about the who, when, why, or how of the Great Pyramid.

Speaker 15 It was built by ancient Egyptians in 4500 BC as a tomb for Khufu, and that's that.

Speaker 108 But what if none of that is true?

Speaker 14 What if the ancient Egyptians didn't build the pyramid, but found it?

Speaker 120 And when they found it, it had been dormant for years, maybe thousands of years.

Speaker 156 Graham Hancock is a proponent of the Orion constellation theory.

Speaker 136 This says the Great Pyramid complex is almost a perfect match for the stars in the Orion constellation.

Speaker 126 But they don't line up to where Orion is today.

Speaker 139 They line up with where Orion was in the sky 13,500 years ago.

Speaker 47 We've discussed how the builders were obsessed with equinoxes. The Sphinx faces due east, and on the vernal equinox, the constellation that rose due east 13,500 years ago was Leo.

Speaker 12 Now, I'll concede the astronomical evidence could be a coincidence.

Speaker 63 But there is hard evidence that these structures are older than originally thought.

Speaker 61 You can't carbon date limestone, but there are clues that the pyramid and the Sphinx have been there for a long, long time.

Speaker 15 Robert Schock from Boston University believes the Sphinx and Giza complex is about 13,500 years old.

Speaker 107 Giza has been an extremely dry climate since the time of the Pharaohs, but the Sphinx shows signs not only of wind and sand erosion, but also extreme water erosion.

Speaker 63 The erosion patterns around the base of the Sphinx could only occur if huge volumes of water were washing over the plateau at violent speeds.

Speaker 15 There's evidence this happened at the end of the Younger Dryas, which marked the end of the last ice age in 9700 BC.

Speaker 108 Glaciers were thought to have melted rapidly.

Speaker 153 Within a few centuries, sea levels rose 500 feet.

Speaker 18 This is fast in geologic time.

Speaker 108 But as more evidence was gathered, melting appeared to happen in a matter of decades.

Speaker 54 This would cause dramatic changes in the Earth's climate.

Speaker 139 But when recent ice core samples were studied, things got even more dramatic.

Speaker 26 There's evidence that the last ice age didn't end over centuries or decades, but ended in one single day.

Speaker 47 Some claim that an asteroid impact caused the last ice age to end.

Speaker 148 A worldwide disaster like the Chick Shulu impact that wiped out the dinosaurs.

Speaker 109 That's not what happened.

Speaker 14 An impact causes cooling.

Speaker 126 Recent studies show that there was a major solar event that happened around 9700 BC, basically the mother of all CMEs.

Speaker 147 A violent plasma storm hit the Earth and overwhelmed the Earth's magnetosphere, which is our defense against solar radiation.

Speaker 109 Without the protection of the magnetosphere, massive lightning strikes happened all over the Earth.

Speaker 112 Lightning that was orders of magnitude more intense than anything we've ever seen. This lightning was hundreds or even thousands of times more powerful than anything from a thunderstorm.

Speaker 159 There's evidence in over 120 countries of rock melted and turned to glass during this this event.

Speaker 26 This is called vitrification.

Speaker 149 There's evidence of vitrification in moon rocks.

Speaker 126 We know for a fact large mammals like saber-toothed tigers and woolly mammoths were wiped out at this time.

Speaker 149 They didn't slowly go extinct.

Speaker 131 They instantly went extinct.

Speaker 109 During the four or five days of this event, the Earth was also awash in lethal radiation.

Speaker 110 Only animals that can go underground survived.

Speaker 112 Most of the human race died during this event.

Speaker 61 Only humans living near caves were able to find shelter and survive.

Speaker 111 If glaciers, which covered 30% of the Earth's surface, melted in a day or two, think of the speed, volume, and pressure of water that would rush across the Earth's surface.

Speaker 107 This water would act like a power washer on stone constructions like the Sphinx and Pyramids.

Speaker 120 Meanwhile, a sky full of plasma and lightning and radiation would have severely damaged the Great Pyramid if it was using a volatile chemical reaction to create power.

Speaker 47 Every culture has a flood myth that served as a reset of civilization.

Speaker 153 All those stories seem to point to a cataclysm at the end of the Younger Dryas.

Speaker 15 Myths of lost continents like Atlantis also fit into this timeline.

Speaker 15 Now, I'm not claiming anything I've said today is what happened, but I am saying there is evidence that it was possible that an advanced civilization existed thousands of years ago.

Speaker 137 That civilization had the technology to create unlimited clean energy.

Speaker 107 Then the glaciers melted.

Speaker 26 A great flood came.

Speaker 61 Solar plasma and radiation destroyed a significant amount of life on the planet.

Speaker 15 The civilization then disappeared.

Speaker 61 Then thousands of years later, as the great Egyptian culture was forming, they would have utilized the pyramid not for power, but for ceremonial or religious purposes.

Speaker 61 They would have altered the Sphinx, carving away the original design and replacing it with a design of their own. And we know this is what they did.

Speaker 107 Mainstream scientists are still not convinced.

Speaker 14 And that's okay.

Speaker 150 As time goes on and more secrets are revealed, sooner or later we we will learn the truth.

Speaker 109 And I suspect we'll learn that the pyramid power plant theory was right all along.

Speaker 54 Whoever built the pyramids created energy that wasn't harmful to the Earth, but resonated in harmony with it.

Speaker 120 A suspicious person might wonder why, if this theory has been around for 50 years, nobody's tried to replicate it, even on a small scale.

Speaker 110 Unlimited clean energy for everyone on Earth sounds like a way for the entire human race to take a huge step forward.

Speaker 26 Think of the technological advances that could be made if electricity was free.

Speaker 15 Think of the political strife, economic instability, and the endless wars that could be avoided.

Speaker 110 But maybe what's happening now is what happened to Tesla 100 years ago.

Speaker 54 In Tesla's time, nobody was interested in creating technology that would make power free for everyone. Empires owned by J.P.

Speaker 55 Morgan, the Vanderbilts, and the Rockefellers would have been devastated.

Speaker 107 The Carnegies, the DuPonts, and the Mellons all would have seen significant losses.

Speaker 146 These families owned all the energy production and distribution in the United States.

Speaker 26 Their companies were the lifeblood of American industry.

Speaker 15 The families were American royalty.

Speaker 61 If Tesla was able to achieve his vision, not only would the wealth of these families be diminished, so would America's standing in the world as a great new industrial power.

Speaker 150 Tesla said he wanted to bring abundant electrical energy to remote, underdeveloped parts of the world to foster closer communication between nations.

Speaker 159 This couldn't be allowed to happen.

Speaker 61 America and the corporations that controlled it would never have given up their advantage.

Speaker 19 They still won't.

Speaker 15 When Tesla died, the FBI and agents of the OSS were, for some reason, close by.

Speaker 61 Tesla's documents were stored in 80 boxes, all organized and numbered by Tesla himself.

Speaker 126 Only 60 boxes were discovered.

Speaker 15 And since then, a few scientists have stated that Tesla's invention would have never worked.

Speaker 108 But that's what scientists said of most of his inventions.

Speaker 63 Viewers of this channel know that most science is bought and paid for by corporations and governments.

Speaker 91 This is especially true in the last couple of years.

Speaker 139 Get the jab.

Speaker 22 Right.

Speaker 6 Another jab, another jab, another. Yep.
Whether those jabs work or not, you human pincushions are making people rich.

Speaker 126 Oh, there's no doubt about that.

Speaker 19 80% of the products we use today can be traced back to Tesla.

Speaker 150 But the technology that we really need now more than ever is inexpensive, clean energy.

Speaker 91 Sadly, that technology died with Tesla.

Speaker 61 Instead, the world went in the direction of coal and oil, and nations fought and continue to fight wars to control these limited resources.

Speaker 61 Oil, coal, and war may be terrible for the planet and the people who live on it, but they're great for business. And for all his genius, that's something Nikola Tesla never understood.

Speaker 8 Thanks so much for hanging out today. My name is AJ.
There's Hecklefish.

Speaker 6 Stick a baby fetus in there. A seal fetus, not a human fetus.
That would be gross. Oh, get my face on it.
Oh, get one of these haunted voodoo dolls of YouTubers. Oh, what mega squeezy animal?

Speaker 6 Target, hecklish, a toy doll. We may want to cut the fetus joke out.
