• 0:07
  So today we are doing a deep dive into a huge body of
• 0:11
  research that honestly, it just completely challenges the
• 0:14
  official story of human civilization, right?
• 0:17
  We're looking at sources that suggest the timeline for places
• 0:20
  like ancient Egypt and South America isn't just a little bit
• 0:23
  off, it's it's profoundly wrong. So our mission here is to really
• 0:29
  pull out the most important pieces from all this material.
• 0:31
  We're talking about evidence of these lost super technical
• 0:34
  civilizations, proof of, you know, massive cataclysm.
• 0:37
  And why this stuff gets suppressed?
• 0:39
  Exactly why it's so often just dismissed by mainstream
• 0:42
  archaeology. We're really trying to get to
• 0:44
  the heart of what happened before recorded history.
• 0:46
  And if you need just one piece of evidence to grasp how big
• 0:49
  this is, we have to start in Egypt with maybe the single most
• 0:53
  explosive thing found in the last decade, a massive,
• 0:56
  unidentified metallic object buried deep, deep down beneath
• 1:01
  the structure that everyone thought was just a myth.
• 1:03
  Let's just jump right into that. You're talking about the great
• 1:06
  lost labyrinth of ancient Egypt. And this isn't some New Age
• 1:10
  theory. This place was famous back in
• 1:12
  the day. I mean people like Herodotus,
• 1:14
  Pliny the Elder, they wrote about it being even more
• 1:17
  magnificent than the pyramids. That's the thing, Herodotus
• 1:20
  visited it what, around 450 BC, and he described a building so
• 1:25
  complex you couldn't navigate it. 12 roofed courts, 3000
• 1:29
  rooms. 3000. Yeah, half of them above ground,
• 1:32
  half below. And Pliny the Elder.
• 1:35
  He suggested the roof might have been one single giant piece of
• 1:38
  stone, or at least the joins were so perfect it looked like
• 1:41
  one piece and engineering marvel.
• 1:44
  So it was real, but it got lost. People thought it was at Hawara
• 1:47
  near the Fiume Oasis, and when the archaeologist Flinner's
• 1:51
  Patriot dug there in the late 1800s, he just found these huge
• 1:54
  stone slabs. Right.
• 1:56
  And he just concluded as the foundation that the rest had
• 1:58
  been, you know, quarried away over time.
• 2:00
  That was a big mistake. 100 year mistake.
• 2:03
  Because Petri was almost certainly standing on the roof
• 2:06
  of the top level, the whole complex actually starts 9 to 10
• 2:10
  meters down. Down below the modern water
• 2:12
  table exactly. Which brings us to the Manaha
• 2:15
  expedition around 20/15/2017. They went in with modern tech,
• 2:20
  ground penetrating radar, Sonic stuff.
• 2:22
  And they found it. They absolutely verified it.
• 2:25
  Massive multi level cyclopean walls, meters thick.
• 2:29
  A labyrinth right where the ancient writers said it was.
• 2:32
  The only problem was you couldn't dig there.
• 2:34
  The water table is too high. But the report, it got buried.
• 2:37
  I mean, you've just found proof of one of the greatest wonders
• 2:40
  of the ancient world and then crickets.
• 2:42
  Nothing. Yeah, according to the team
• 2:44
  leader, a guy named Louis Dordia, the report was
• 2:47
  intentionally suppressed, he said.
• 2:49
  Zahi Hawass, who was the big guy in Antiquities.
• 2:51
  Then he basically threatened them.
• 2:53
  Threatened them how? With national security sanctions
• 2:56
  told them they'd lose their licenses, their equipment,
• 2:58
  everything if they publish what they found.
• 3:00
  The message seems pretty clear. This just doesn't fit the
• 3:03
  narrative we've all agreed on. But that didn't stop the
• 3:06
  research. It just it forced it to go
• 3:09
  underground, so to speak. Into more secretive channels.
• 3:12
  Exactly, so other teams came in using newer space based scanning
• 3:16
  tech stuff that could see past the water and the GPR
• 3:19
  limitations and they confirmed the structure went way deeper.
• 3:23
  How deep? 60 to 70 meters down three,
• 3:25
  maybe 4 distinct massive levels. And this is where it gets really
• 3:29
  weird, because in a huge central atrium, like an open room 40 or
• 3:33
  50 meters long, the scans found something.
• 3:35
  Something completely out of place.
• 3:38
  A freestanding unidentified metallic object, also about 40
• 3:42
  meters long, and the scans described it as Tic Tac shaped.
• 3:46
  A 40m long metallic Tic Tac deep underground.
• 3:50
  And the guy who ran the scans, he said he couldn't even
• 3:52
  identify the metal, said it wasn't like any metal he knew.
• 3:54
  OK, I have to jump in. Could this just be a glitch?
• 3:56
  AGPR anomaly? I mean, we hear about those all
• 3:58
  the time. Or maybe a really weird natural
• 4:00
  formation. Why jump straight to, you know,
• 4:03
  a recovered spacecraft? That's a totally fair question,
• 4:06
  and the sources say the reason is twofold.
• 4:08
  First, the shape, its size and geometric perfection. 40 meters
• 4:12
  long, perfectly formed, just suspended in this room, makes a
• 4:15
  natural 'cause really unlikely. And 2nd, the composition.
• 4:19
  It's metallic, but it's registering as no, not like
• 4:23
  terrestrial metals. So if you have this impossibly
• 4:26
  ancient buried structure and inside you find what looks like
• 4:29
  a sophisticated alien shaped ship, yeah, it makes you
• 4:32
  question everything. That's a pretty good reason to
• 4:34
  keep the labyrinth buried, I guess.
• 4:36
  But this whole pattern of suppression, these deep
• 4:39
  underground chambers, it's not just the labyrinth, is it?
• 4:42
  Not at all. Look at the Sphinx.
• 4:44
  For centuries Arab historians wrote about tunnels.
• 4:47
  Underneath it you have El Masoudi, the Herodotus of the
• 4:50
  Arabs. He was writing in 947 describing
• 4:53
  tunnels leading to rooms right under the structure.
• 4:56
  This was just known for 1000 years.
• 4:58
  And then you layer on top of that the Edgar Cayce prophecies,
• 5:01
  the sleeping prophet. Yeah, back in the 40s, he
• 5:04
  predicted these three holes of records from Atlantis, and one
• 5:08
  of them is supposed to be right there beneath the paws of the
• 5:11
  Sphinx. And this group, the AA, they've
• 5:14
  been searching for it since the 70s.
• 5:15
  Which led to that whole secretive expedition in the mid
• 5:17
  90's, the shore expedition with Zahi Hawas and the AA, and
• 5:21
  footage from that just surfaced recently.
• 5:23
  After being buried for decades, yeah.
• 5:25
  And what's on it? It shows Hawas himself.
• 5:28
  He's entering a tunnel right at the rump in the Sphinx, and he
• 5:31
  says on camera that they're going to explore where it leads.
• 5:33
  So it's proof the tunnels are real and the head of antiquities
• 5:38
  was in them. Precisely.
• 5:40
  And then that footage just vanishes.
• 5:43
  The area was apparently back filled with concrete, and hobos
• 5:47
  even announced in some Arabic papers around that time that
• 5:50
  he'd found three tunnels, only to deny it later.
• 5:52
  The pattern is always the same if the.
• 5:54
  Evidence points to something pre dynastic or something else.
• 5:58
  It gets erased from the public record.
• 6:02
  And this whole cover up story gets real scientific teeth when
• 6:04
  you look at the water erosion controversy.
• 6:06
  This is the geological smoking gun.
• 6:07
  This is Doctor Robert Shucks work.
• 6:09
  The geologist? Yep.
• 6:11
  He was brought in by John Anthony West and Shock.
• 6:14
  As a geologist, he noticed these deep vertical erosion channels
• 6:18
  on the walls of the Sphinx enclosure, the pit it was carved
• 6:21
  out of. And why is that specific type of
• 6:24
  erosion so important? Couldn't it just be wind and
• 6:27
  sand over thousands of years? No, that's the key.
• 6:31
  Wind and sand create horizontal layers, you know, pitting.
• 6:34
  You see that on the Sphinx's head, which has been exposed
• 6:36
  longer. But these deep vertical
• 6:38
  channels, that is the unmistakable signature of
• 6:42
  thousands of years of heavy, sustained rainfall.
• 6:46
  And that kind of rain just hasn't happened in the Egyptian
• 6:48
  desert for a very long time. Not since the African Humid
• 6:51
  period, a time when the Sahara was green, full of lakes and
• 6:53
  rivers, and that period ended around 4000 BC.
• 6:56
  So for that erosion to be there. Chuck's conclusion is that the
• 6:59
  Sphinx enclosure had to have been standing there exposed to
• 7:02
  that rain for centuries, which means it has to be at least, you
• 7:05
  know, 12,000 years old. 12,000 years.
• 7:08
  That pushes it back into the Younger Dryas before the last
• 7:12
  Ice Age really ended, predating dynastic Egypt by what, 7 or
• 7:17
  8000 years? It completely shatters the
• 7:19
  conventional timeline that says Coffrey built it around 2500 BC.
• 7:24
  Which opens up this whole bigger picture right?
• 7:26
  The idea of multiple advanced civilizations rising and
• 7:29
  falling. We know modern humans have been
• 7:30
  around for over 300,000 years. It's not that big of a stretch
• 7:34
  to think high technology could have appeared and then been
• 7:36
  wiped out a few times. It even lines up with those
• 7:39
  ancient kings lists. Sumerian, Egyptian, Biblical.
• 7:43
  They all talk about leaders living for hundreds, even
• 7:46
  thousands of years before some great flood or cataclysm.
• 7:48
  A lost golden age of knowledge. And what's amazing is how much
• 7:52
  of that knowledge seems to have survived, encoded into
• 7:55
  structures like the Great Pyramid.
• 7:57
  The sources are pretty clear. The pyramid was not a tomb.
• 7:59
  It was a geodetic marker. A what?
• 8:01
  A repository of advanced data about the Earth and the cosmos.
• 8:04
  OK, let's slow down here because this math part is dense, but
• 8:08
  it's it's critical. The whole theory is that the
• 8:10
  pyramid is a scale model of the northern hemisphere, yes?
• 8:14
  At a very specific ratio, 43,200 to 1.
• 8:19
  Why that number? Because there are 43,200 seconds
• 8:22
  in 12 hours. It connects the building itself
• 8:25
  to time and to cosmic cycles. OK.
• 8:27
  So when you apply that ratio, what do you get?
• 8:30
  Well, the results are just staggering.
• 8:32
  You take the pyramids original height multiplied by 43,200 and
• 8:36
  you get the Earth's polar radius.
• 8:38
  Wow. And then you take the pyramids
• 8:39
  perimeter at the base, multiply that by 43,200 and you get the
• 8:43
  Earth's Equatorial circumference.
• 8:45
  And this is accurate. Incredibly accurate.
• 8:47
  We're talking within hundreds of feet of modern satellite data
• 8:50
  from the 1980s. That's impossible.
• 8:52
  That means the builders knew the exact size and shape of the
• 8:55
  planet. But wait, it gets even crazier.
• 8:58
  They knew the Earth wasn't a perfect sphere.
• 9:00
  They knew it was an oblate spheroid, that it bulges at the
• 9:03
  equator because of its rotation. How on earth could they encode
• 9:06
  that? It's in the base.
• 9:07
  There's a perimeter of the casing stones, the white
• 9:09
  limestone finish, and there's a slightly wider perimeter if you
• 9:12
  include this granite base it sits on called the Suckle.
• 9:15
  OK, the suckle. The ratio between the perimeter
• 9:17
  with the suckle and the perimeter without it.
• 9:20
  That ratio perfectly encodes the difference between a second of
• 9:23
  latitude and a second of longitude at the equator.
• 9:26
  I mean, you just can't get that kind of data without satellites
• 9:30
  or, you know, some kind of incredibly advanced global
• 9:33
  survey. It points to a unified knowledge
• 9:36
  base. A.
• 9:36
  Global unified system, which is why you see these sacred numbers
• 9:40
  like a 108 and 432, Yeah, popping up in ancient cultures
• 9:44
  all over the world. 18 That's the ratio of the sun's diameter
• 9:47
  to its distance from us. Right.
• 9:48
  And the moon's diameter to its distance.
• 9:50
  It's why they appear the same size in the sky, why a perfect
• 9:52
  solar eclipse is possible. It's all connected.
• 9:55
  So let's pivot. If we jump across the ocean to
• 9:58
  South America, to the Andes, these timeline problems become
• 10:01
  even more obvious. Oh, way more obvious.
• 10:04
  In Peru. You can see the different layers
• 10:07
  of building with your own eyes. You have the sophisticated
• 10:09
  megalithic stuff, these huge, perfectly joined blocks that
• 10:13
  look like they were melted together, right?
• 10:15
  And then sitting right on top of it, you have the later Inca
• 10:17
  work, which is, you know, basically just caught a
• 10:19
  cobblestone stuck together with mud.
• 10:21
  The Inca empire was really brief, just a few 100 years.
• 10:25
  They clearly inherited and built on top of something much, much
• 10:28
  older. You can see that so clearly at
• 10:31
  Ollianti Tambo. The work just stopped mid
• 10:34
  project. You have these massive 90 ton
• 10:36
  blocks called the tired stones just left on the road miles from
• 10:40
  the quarry. Yeah, think about that.
• 10:42
  What kind of event would make a whole society abandoned 90 ton
• 10:45
  blocks they were in the middle of hauling?
• 10:47
  It wasn't just a changing in government.
• 10:48
  Something huge happened. A cataclysm.
• 10:50
  Which brings us to the absolute craziest place of all, Tuanaku
• 10:55
  and Puma Punku up in Bolivia at 12,500 feet.
• 10:59
  Yeah, the stonework there is it's next level.
• 11:02
  Precise, complex interlocking blocks, 90° internal corners,
• 11:06
  perfect polishing, even what look like tool marks from
• 11:09
  tubular drills or something. And mainstream archaeology dates
• 11:12
  that to what, 1100 AD? Which just makes no sense.
• 11:17
  A professor named Arthur Poznanski.
• 11:19
  He spent 50 years studying it, and based on astronomical
• 11:22
  alignments in geology, he dated it to 15,000 BC.
• 11:26
  What was the geological evidence?
• 11:28
  It couldn't just be the alignments.
• 11:29
  There is an ancient shoreline from Lake Titicaca, A strand
• 11:32
  line that runs right through the site.
• 11:34
  And here's the kicker. That line is tilted.
• 11:37
  Tilted so the whole landscape shifted after the city was
• 11:40
  built. Exactly, that's not just the
• 11:42
  water level changing. That is a massive geological
• 11:45
  upheaval. The whole plateau moved.
• 11:47
  If the city was only 1000 years old, that line would be level.
• 11:51
  And why would anyone build a major port city at 12,500 feet?
• 11:55
  Well, the idea is that it wasn't at 12,500 feet, the land was
• 11:58
  lower and it was a port in Lake Titacaca.
• 12:00
  Which is supported by the stuff they found in the lake.
• 12:02
  They found entire temple complexes, paved roads, huge
• 12:06
  walls, all submerged under the current lake, proving that
• 12:09
  people were living there when the water levels were way, way
• 12:12
  lower in the very distant past. So when you tie this all
• 12:15
  together for everyone listening, whether it's the buried Tic Tac
• 12:19
  in Egypt or the Sphinx tunnels, or the stonework in the Andes
• 12:23
  that was just stopped dead, you see the same pattern over and
• 12:27
  over. It's a pattern of a
• 12:28
  sophisticated, global, technologically advanced
• 12:31
  civilization that was wiped out violently interrupted by
• 12:35
  something like the Younger Dryas impact, and ever since, the
• 12:39
  official story has been to just ignore or suppress any evidence
• 12:44
  that points to that older, true history of humanity.
• 12:46
  Which brings us to one last really strange piece of this
• 12:50
  puzzle from the sources. Something that links this idea
• 12:53
  of Advanced Tech Direct to the ancient past, The Shamir.
• 12:57
  Ah, the Shamir is an old Jewish legend from the Talmud.
• 13:00
  It describes this mythical worm, or maybe a substance that King
• 13:04
  Solomon used to cut the stones for the First Temple.
• 13:07
  He. Used it so he wouldn't have to
• 13:08
  use metal tools which were associated with war.
• 13:10
  Right, but the fascinating part is how you had to store it.
• 13:14
  The legend says the shamir had to be wrapped in wool and kept
• 13:16
  in a lead box. Why?
• 13:17
  Lead. Because if you put in anything
• 13:19
  else, the container would burst, it would just disintegrate.
• 13:22
  Wool and lead? That sounds an awful lot like
• 13:25
  how if you'd handle something radioactive.
• 13:27
  Or some other kind of incredibly powerful advanced technology,
• 13:30
  something that fits perfectly with the idea of lost knowledge
• 13:33
  from an earlier age. So if there really is a 40 meter
• 13:36
  metallic object buried under the labyrinth, we have to ask the
• 13:39
  question. Was the Shamir just a myth?
• 13:42
  Or was it a real piece of cutting technology?
• 13:45
  Maybe a leftover tool from the same civilization that built
• 13:48
  Tuanaku that was found, used, and then lost to time all over
• 13:52
  again? Something to think about.
