Compilation: Weird & Bizarre stories!

[Music] hey thanks so much for clicking on the compilation videos they're doing better than I expected and I've been able to get just a little bit ahead on episodes so thank you this is our last compilation we'll be back next week with a brand new episode called anunaki Gods from planet Nibiru and the makers of man we're finally doing an anunaki episode well we got to come back with a Banger Banger I hardly know her since when did that ever stop you ah the human makes a good point anyway this is a compilation of seven

short episodes that are in the category of weird and bizarre all our episodes are in that category Chief well that's true but these are some early ones so so they suck no they don't suck but let's just say we've come a long way the past few years let's kick it off with the story about the meat shower and when spiders frogs and fish fell from The sky oh oh I singing this one oh yeah I forgot about that I apologize for what you're about to endure 3+ five plus z z every second about 16 million

tons of water evaporates from the surface of the Earth during that same second 16 million tons of water falls back down to the Earth as rain but water isn't the only type of precipitation we experience due to certain weather conditions all kinds Of crazy stuff has fallen from the sky things like frogs snakes spiders animal flesh even blood have rained down all over the world for centuries oh this is sounding ominous well it's more common than you think in fact in Honduras they celebrate yuvia de peses which means rain of fish now Honduras is a

landlocked Nation with the nearest body of water 120 miles away yet Every Spring it rains thousands of fish all over the town of yoro and these fish are Completely aquatic we're not talking about flying fish wo wo wo wo wo what do you mean flying fish there are a few species of fish that can fly well technically they Glide but it's pretty amazing actually amazing I'll say it's like it's like a whole new world all new stuff for me to see I just fly along and sing this song it's a whole new world for me

what anyway fish rain snake rain blood rain it's weird And it's real let's find out [Music] why welcome to the Wi files where smart folks Like Us come to laugh and learn today we're talking about the phenomenon of raining animals Animal Reign has been documented throughout human history plenty of the Elder talked about a storm of frogs and fish as early as the 1st Century ad in the late 18th century French soldiers saw frogs falling from the sky during a heavy rain near the City of Le this story fascinated French physicist Andre Marie air yes

that air who was one of the first scientists to take these stories seriously Ander speculated that violent winds could pick up large numbers of small animals and carry them great distances he might be right the current working hypothesis is that animal Reign involves tornadic water spouts which are tornadoes that form overwat water spouts usually occur in the tropics but they can occur Anywhere Europe Australia Antarctica even over America's great if the conditions are right water spouts typically form as their parent clouds are developing over warm water did I say warm you did as the warm

water evaporates humid air is pulled up toward the cloud as more humid air pours in a Vortex can form these vortexes vortices can grow to be 300 ft wide 90 M and 2,000 ft tall 600 M large water spouts can be violent And dangerous when they reach speeds of 160 KP H they can damage ships airplanes and put people's lives in jeopard Lennox get out of there anything within a meter of the water's surface can be lifted into the air and if the water spot is powerful enough these animals can be carried all the way

up to the parent cloud and sometimes even stay up there for miles after the water spout is long gone fish specifically are small light and flat and they're light enough That they can be buffeted up and down within a cloud for a long time don't you dare oh fine this is what scientists believe is happening in Honduras a water spout is pulling fish from the ocean and carrying them far inland others speculate there's an underground river that's carrying the fish closer to the town still something is lifting them in the air is it a water

spout it could be they're common in that part of the world but reports of fish Rain have occurred all over the planet as recently as 2017 in India and Sri Lanka but also Mexico Wales Saskatchewan California even in Philadelphia Pennsylvania recently on September 9th 2016 Lisa ly was out for a walk in the suburbs of Philly now she hears her rustling in the trees above her she looks up and she gets smacked in the face with a 5B catfish that's not funny she ended up with a cut on her eye oh is she all Right

well she's all right now but now his shoes and he had a fin oh people catching fish boring but fish catching people oh boy it hurts it hurts me now nobody's sure how a catfish can fall from the sky in Philadelphia and some people have speculated that a bird was carrying it but that' have to be a pretty large bird it could grip it by the husk just a few months ago thousands of small fish rained on the town of yawa Australia What makes this so weird is that yawa is 500 Mi inland and some

of the fish were alive and the water spout Theory doesn't address why some incidents of animal rain only consist of one species and not all kinds of different animals of the same size let's look at a few of [Music] these just kidding that was that was just a bad movie yeah I rather enjoyed it spiders now this one's not a horror movie but it definitely looks like one Let's go back to the terror content called Australia on May 15th 2015 residents of goldurn Australia witnessed millions of baby spiders literally raining down and blanketing the countryside

in silky white whbs what happened in this case is called ballooning which is a form of spider Transportation spiders will climb to the top of the highest tree or structure they can then spin a web into a sort of parachute that catches a breeze which Can carry them a long way they do this to escape Predators seek food or to establish new territories when a spider is getting ready to travel it will raise its legs and Sample the air flow once it's satisfied it orients its abdomen Skyward spins a little silk and off it goes

normally this goes unnoticed because spiders typically travel one at a time but sometimes like in goldurn the weather conditions were so favorable to ballooning that thousands of spiders Took to the a simultaneously the same thing happened in Brazil however these weren't baby spiders these were nightmare spiders you do folks in Brazil were pretty upset I mean before this video I didn't know how to say the world is ending in Portuguese but I do now if you want to see more of that I'll link to some spider rain videos below W worms from the sky is

strange Because it can occur in calm weather as well as stormy and worms don't seem to mind the cold either thousands of worms appeared on a snowy mountain in Norway in 2015 and scientists still don't know how it happened the worms were first noticed by a skier who said the mountain was covered with thousands of them he assumed they were dead but then he grabbed a few and they were alive how the worms couldn't have come from the ground because under the snow was about A meter of soil frozen solid so General consensus is that

a violent air pocket lifted the worms and then dropped them on the mountain but from where where are there thousands of live worms in the mountains in Norway in March nobody knows Sweden same thing raining worms where why how so I did some research and it seems that this has been happening in Scandinavia since at least the 1920s and in Europe far before that nobody knows why they're under the ground they're Under the ground Scotland 2011 so many skyw worms rained on a middle school football game that they had to call off the game and

go inside there's wee worms everywhere let's go inside Texas 2015 clumps of earthworms appeared in the middle of the street out of nowhere hundreds of them in piles in the street from where Aurora Michigan 2016 skyw worms tucon Arizona 2018 skyw worms can you fly you sucker this is sounding a lot less like weather and More like an invasion blood oh nothing is better at whipping up a little local hysteria like Raining Blood cases of blood rain or red rain had been recorded since Homer's Iliad and throughout history in Europe alone there are hundreds of

reports of blood rain going back centuries and every time it occurred it was considered Supernatural and a bad almond in the year 787 ad there was a recorded rain of blood that Was later said to predict the Viking invasion of England in Germany a shower of blood in 1347 was followed by the arrival of the black plague so you know they just connected the dots blood rain bad plague bad one of the first scientists to try to proved this phenomenon was not Supernatural was jeppe Maria Javen blood rain fell in Italy in 1803 and Javen

correctly came to the conclusion that sand from Africa was pulled high in the Atmosphere across the Adriatic and mixed with storm clouds to turn the water red in 2001 blood rain received International attention when it fell on corrup ala India initial studies showed the rain had large amounts of nickel titanium iron and other metals this led to a theory that the red rain was caused by an atmospheric meteor burst now that sounds super cool but further studies showed that the rain contained spores of a specific type of algae indigenous to Austria that had migrated to

India in the upper atmosphere after another incident of red rain in carala in 2012 Studies have confirmed with certainty that the micro algae Trent aolia is indeed turning the rain red so know blood rain is not actually blood except when it is March 3rd 1876 was the famous Kentucky meat storm that doesn't sound like a derby for several minutes small chunks of meat fell from the sky on a farm in Ranken Kentucky enough meat to fill a large wagon so The Story Goes Reports say it appeared to be [Music] beef but according to an issue

of Scientific American Two Gentlemen who tasted the meat thought it was either lamb or deer unknown Meats fell from the sky and someone ate it yep and Joe Rogan wasn't there nope gross yep studies of the meat determined it was lung tissue either from a horse or from a human Infant oh nobody noticed a missing baby or a missing horse who was in charge of this investigation Transylvania University wa wa wait wait so Dracula ate the baby no no no Transylvania universities in Lexington Kentucky I'm so confused oh you're not the only one a scientific

reason for the Kentucky meat storm was never settled but locals think it came from vultures who when threatened will regurgitate everything in their stomachs to make a quicker Getaway and when one vulture vomits they all do oh there's so much blood no no don't you start doing that no you're going to make Buzzard vomit okay fine but 9 days later on March 12th 1876 the same thing happened in London England still no explanation well it does explain English cooking snakes the famous snake rign occurred in Memphis in 1877 Reports say thousands of black snakes rained

from The heavens and slithered all over the streets snakes of all sizes some they say were over a foot long oh I really wanted this one I really did every list article in video about Weir rain has this story in it thousands of snakes thuing to the ground writhing around and hissing that's YouTube Gold we had clips from Indiana Jones and Sam L Jackson photos and b-roll that would have it would have blew your mind but those of you who followed the wi file since the Beginning know that even though we're a goofy Channel we

do try to get the facts right this was a huge National story in 1877 it was picked up by the New York Times and it was reprinted in newspapers all around the country but nobody fact checked they just regurgitated the same story 19th century clickbait nothing ever changes there was actually only one eyewitness to the Memphis snake rain and she didn't really see them fall they were already on the ground she said the Snakes were black and clumped together but when rinsed with water they turned flesh in color they also didn't move like snakes she

said they gathered up their bodies in horseshoe shapes and creeped along the ground that's how worms move o I love how they do that the infamous snake reign of Memphis of 1877 was probably earthworms but I did find actual newspaper stories from Pierre South Dakota 1870 Columbus Kentucky 1907 and San Francisco 1909 all talking about Actual live snakes falling from the sky I have had it with these snakes on this I'm glad we worked that in links below tadpoles in 2009 the entire country of Japan was covered in dead tadpoles I mean the entire country

they were first spotted in Ishikawa which is on the west coast of Japan but dead Tad poles were reported in towns and Villages and on cars all over the country in one Incident a 55-year-old man who was caught in a tadpole downpour described hearing a strange sound in the parking lot of a Civic Center in the city of naau and upon further exploration he found 100 pad poles covering the windshields of cars then now is in the middle of the island miles away from Ishikawa and there are two theories for what happened here both of

which we discussed and I believe neither of them first explanation water spout but even Local meteorologists aren't buying this because the weather was clear the winds were light and it doesn't explain how tadpoles got scattered everywhere the second explanation is that large birds like herons or crows or seagulls dro the Tad poles while being disturbed mid-flight fine but again how does this happen across an entire country simultaneously nobody knows or they won't tell us frogs it's been riging frogs for a Long time even the Bible's Book of Exodus talks about a swarm of frogs as

one of the plagues it might not have been a metaphor this is a real thing that happens periodically in different places around the world not just in Paul Thomas Anderson movies in 1873 Kansas City Missouri experienced a rain storm that covered the entire city in frogs same thing happened in Minneapolis in 1901 where the frogs were so thick the travel was Impossible Lester Mass 1953 Sheffield UK 1995 but we don't need to comb through old newspapers to find stories about raining frogs we just have to go back to 2010 in June of 2010 in Hungary

thousands of tiny frogs rained all over the country and many of them were still alive can a water spout do this if you drop a frog from a building it goes Splat and in all the cases I mentioned hungry included there were no reports of Weird weather or wind or water spouts and in this particular case in Hungary frogs were falling for several days across the whole country now some zoologists claim that this is common migratory behavior for frogs that's fine but then how did the frogs get on top of cars and buses and buildings

answer me that zoologists now this is an ongoing debate but I find it really interesting that there are all these reports of animal rain but very Little video of the animals actually falling and lack of evidence brings out all kinds of theories from the wrath of God to alien intervention that brings us to Star jelly star jelly before Hollywood icon Steve McQueen was dubbed the king of cool he starred in a little horror movie called The Blob The Blob was released in 1958 and it's a well-known film to horror fans and Hollywood history Buffs what's

up what's not so well known is The inspiration for the blob the plot goes like this it's a small town in rural Pennsylvania two teenagers are making out on Lovers Lane when they see a meteorite crash Just Over Yonder later an old fell investigates the site and naturally he pokes the meteorite with a stick it breaks open and a small jellylike substance oozes out attacks him and he goes screaming off for help 28-year-old teenager Steve McQueen picks him up and takes him to a doctor The rest is movie history but the blob was inspired by

a real event in 1950 four Philadelphia policemen reported the discovery of a dome disc of quivering jelly 6 ft in diameter and 1T thick at the center and an inch or two near the edge when they tried to pick it up it dissolved into an odorless sticky scum the producer of The Blob Jack Harris is from Pennsylvania and he was Fascinated with the local star jelly Legend an outbreak of star jelly happened as recently as 2013 at the ham wall Nature Reserve in England but star jelly occurs all over the world so it has a

lot of names star slime star slubber in German it's called sterz which means star snot in Spanish it's kakad DeLuna which moon poop I was going to say excrement oh you're such a slave to the YouTube algorithm grow up here Sky jelly is a gelatinous substance That's been found in grass but also in branches of trees and reports of Sky jelly go back centuries and explanations range from frog eggs to bacteria to alien organic matter to the Paranormal so what is it we don't know star jelly usually dissolves or evaporates as soon as it's discovered

so we don't have a lot of samples but scientists in the National Geographic Society tested a sample in the US they found no DNA at all so what is it we don't know oh I Don't care for that at all I don't either let's talk about Secrets it's human nature to want to know what we can't know to have what we can't have the most alluring things in life are often those that are unattainable so true what Sheila oo talk about alluring and unattainable I guess we're doing this now who Sheila she was this angel

fish that I knew when we were Guppies oh no oh she had the most perfect gills and on my own her pelvic fins went all the Way back no no no I'm talking about secret places oh I dreamed about Sheila's secret places you know what I'm talking about no I I don't I I mean I do but we're not why am I even talking to you I lost my train of thought yeah you're really floundering a floundering you see what I did there oh I'm on fire today baby wait wait whoa whoa oh what are

you doing oh come on can you take a joke oh nice we are mature these are the most secret Places in the world off limits to almost everyone and when you tell us we can't go inside or photograph or even know what's happening in these places well we need to know [Music] why welcome to the Wi files where smart folks Like Us come to laugh and learn today we're talking about the most secret places in the world and the Mysterious theories that surround them a few weeks ago we covered the scariest Places in the US

that you can actually visit the locations on this list are different you can't visit any of these without special access and no one really knows what's happening inside and when you don't give the public information about something we'll fill in the blanks Heckle fish you ready to behave oh thank goodness oh I couldn't breathe yeah give me just give me a secondy okay I'm ready drama queen Area 51 oh we're getting right to The meet huh right to the meet you can't do a list of Secret locations without this one Area 51 has been a

perennial American Obsession for more than 50 years it's been the backdrop for countless movies books TV shows and YouTube videos in 2019 this well-known but little understood location basically broke the internet when some crazy person got millions of people to RSVPs to trespassing on Area 51 did we RSVPs we did not yeah you're not as dumb as You look Area 51 is located in Rachel Nevada about 80 Mi Northwest of Los Vegas and as a remote Detachment of Edwards Air Force Base it's so highly classified that the military disputed it even existed for years gas

liers the Air Force finally acknowledged Area 51 as real in 2013 but nobody really knows what's happening in there built in 1955 as part of the Nevada test and training range complex it was initially constructed by contractor Lockheed Martin as a test facility for the U2 spy plane seees that joke worked on two levels I appreciate you noticing now although it's never been declared top secret the area is highly protected and deadly force is authorized against trespassers so what's going on there well the official statement is for operational security reasons we do not provide detailed

information regarding what takes place in the facility not good Enough I agree the most widely circulated theory is that area 51 houses an alien spacecraft that crashed in Roswell New Mexico in 1947 along with the bodies of the pilots we got ET bodies that's huge the Air Force said the UFO was a weather balloon I don't buy it oh you don't trust our super honest transparent government and military industrial complex I do not lots of people don't Area 51 operated in secret for decades Until 1989 when Bob Lazar who claimed he worked there gave a

public interview where he said that the military reverse engineered alien spacecraft and utilized that technology in American Military and space programs I believe that I know you do and think about how quickly technology advanced in the second half of the 20th century look at it this way 20 years before Roswell 1927 Charles Charles Lindberg flew across the Atlantic Ocean in the Spirit of St Louis A single engine single seat aircraft and that was a huge deal he became an international star that's 20 years before Roswell okay well about 20 years after Roswell we were launching

satellites into orbit and Landing people on the moon fake news oh the moon landing was was faked faked fine fine fine fine I I don't want to get into this now but still the airplane was just invented about 20 years before Lindberg so there are huge leaps forward in Technology in a relatively short period of time proof we use the uh Alien and stuff well we have no evidence but it's clear that technology advancement started accelerating in the ' 50s and 60s because of something what do you guys think let us know in the comments

did these technological leaps come from reverse engineering alien spacecraft or was it something else RAF men with hill men with Hill is a royal Air Force station in North Yorkshire England which Was built to provide Communications and intelligence Support Services to the UK and the US now even though this is a royal Air Force Station in the 60s operational control was transferred to the National Security Agency of the United States no boy who then created the largest electronic monitoring station in the world does monitoring mean spying sure does and there it is Project Echelon is

a surveillance program operated by the US Australia Canada New Zealand and the UK K also known as the five eyes oh I love their fries no no no you're thinking of Five Guys delicious they do have good fries right all right so the five eyes and spies nice developed Echelon into a global system for the interception of private Communications and we're talking Mass surveillance of high threat individuals and corporations via industrial Espionage ah who decides who's a high Threat yeah I thought so Echelon is now a Global Network of electronic spy stations that can EES

drop on landlines cell phones fax machines computers it can even track bank accounts and all that data is stored in Echelon computers which can keep millions of Records on millions of individuals companies even countries Barton Gelman a PT Sur prise winning journalist for the Washington Post summarized the leaks as follows secret legal authorities empower the NSA To sweep in the telephone internet and location records of whole populations there are reports that every text message and phone call in the world flows through Echelon and then is then added to the files of the sender and the

receiver and stored for later analysis um is this legal well well is the wrong answer it's not legal in the United States without a warrant but this facility is not in the United States that's a bull loophole and officially This project doesn't even exist so nothing to see here who built this crazy thing Martin H that company seems to show up in an awful lot of these videos yeah I noticed that too so what do we do about it uh uh can you make one of those for me I'm terrified right now I'm using a

stolen Netflix password oh I I know you stole it from me I didn't really Peg you as a fan of the Twilight movies stop breaking my horns I need some protection over here where you Pal there you go I don't know why but that feels so much better I know it does what do you guys think is echelon real are you concerned about government's reading your texts and screening your calls let us know in the comments Mount weather emergency Operation Center built in 1958 Mount weather serves as the operations center for the Federal Emergency Management

agency AKA FEMA it's part of the United States's continuity of government plan And it's a relocation site for the highest level of Civilian and government Personnel this is the 564 acre High Security federal government facility along the ladden Clark County border in Virginia built during the Cold War as a relocation site the facility consists of two parts the above ground FEMA complex and a 600,000 Square ft underground facility reportedly it's a fully self-contained City with its own leaders its own police and fire departments even Its own set of laws this underground bunker has a hospital

dining and Recreation areas sleeping quarters a self-contained water system emergency power plant even a radio and television Studio which is part of the emergency broadcasting system now people are said to be able to survive down here in isolation for years without ever leaving the compound sounds a lot like 2020 too soon Mount weather has been designed to survive conventional chemical biological Even nuclear attacks even though it's been operated and maintained for over 60 years very little is known about Mount weather the general public first learned about it in 1974 when tww FL 514 crashed nearby

and up until then most federal officials didn't even know it existed has it ever been used oh yeah mount weather was briefly activated by federal agents on April 7th 2015 after a major power outage hit Washington DC it was also used during the 911 attacks when The entire Congressional leadership was transported there by helicopter all of Congress in one bunker oh I'd rather take my chances with the bombs I hear you nobody really knows who's on the mount weather list but it's a pretty exclusive list so how do we get on a list of course

bullsh it were working our taals off over here do us a favorite hit the thumbs up or a like button or whatever button you got there I mean come on You're doing nothing but walking around with the mask you're angry you're depressed come on help a brother out Mount yant Meo Mees yamantau along with Kavinsky Mountain are claimed by the us as being Secret nuclear facilities with underground bunkers cuz large excavation projects have been observed by satellites several military garrisons were built on the site and then merged into the closed Town of mjor closed Town

Well closed town is a residential area where travel is restricted in and out how many people live in meso or whatever well estimates are there are 30,000 military and another 30,000 non-military Personnel but nobody really knows because people haven't been able to enter or leave for over 20 years years and nobody knows well countries in the west have been asking Russia for years what's going on in there and the story keeps changing it is place for mining Rocks it is place for making delicious cheeses it is like a big Home Depot they really said that

they did I don't trust those guys they're Russian they they don't care what you think the global seed Vault ooh that looks like the thing that the Jawas drive around it's just a big C deep in an icy Mountain above the Arctic Circle between Norway and the North Pole lies a resource of vital importance for the future of civilization it's not coal oil Or Precious Minerals but seeds millions of seeds from more than 900,000 varieties of food crops are stored in the global seed Vault on spitsbergen part of Norway's falar archipelago get tell the people

how many tries it took you to get that right go ahead tell them it took me 14 tries fall bar AR arip arip Fu it's been a long day folks the seed vault is basically a huge safety deposit box to protect against loss during large Scale Regional or Global crises so if they drop bombs on us we still got Tomatoes we still got Tomatoes the seed bank is 120 M inside a Sandstone mountain and employs seriously Advanced security systems seeds are packaged in these special foil packets that allow them to last basically forever the facility

is managed by the Nordic Genetic Resource Center but they only open the vault to make deposits there are no permanent staff on site now Spitsbergen was considered ideal because it lacks tectonic activity has permafrost and it's 130 m above sea level which keeps the site dry even if the ice caps melt also Norway typically tries to stay out of military conflicts I I said they try while the Press has emphasized its use in the event of a major Global catastrophe the sea bolt will be more frequently accessed when Gene Banks lose samples due to mismanagement

accidents equipment Failures funding Cuts or natural disasters and these events are actually pretty common war and civil strife have a history of destroying seed banks for example the national seed bank of the Philippines was damaged by flooding and then later destroyed by a fire and the seed banks of Afghanistan Syria and Iraq have all been lost completely from B Ms I'd rather end on a high note thanks to the global seed Vault many of those seeds were recovered Tomatoes Tomatoes Vatican secret archives 53 mil of shelving 35,000 volumes millions of pages going back 1200 years

housed in one of the most iconic bastions of religion and culture the vatican's apostolic archives are the stuff of historical Legend and Dan Brown books but they're absolutely real the archives indexes are not public and they're only accessible to very few Scholars and then only after the deposits have been stored for at least 75 years and they're housed In a fortress inside the Vatican hey why do we have to wait 75 years to read this stuff I'd rather not get into it ah gotcha anyway notable documents include Henry VII's request for a marriage annulment a

handwritten transcript of the trial of Galileo and letters from Michelangelo complaining he hadn't been paid for his work on the cine Chapel they sff Michelangelo on his bill apparently they did oo what a p yeah someone out there gets it the Secretive nature of the Catholic church and the potential information within have fueled years of wild speculation about what's inside and there are tons of crazy conspiracy theories about what's in the archives can we talk about a few yes we can disclaimer we are merely reporting we are not endorsing any of these theories I may

endorse one you may not fine fine fine what do you got many conspiracy theorists believe the archives show the Vatican is hiding Proof that Jesus didn't exist no boy you're right I'll stay out of this one good thinking another theory says the Vatican has evidence of extraterrestrials and that the pope is conspiring with aliens to implant us with computer chips there's also this great theory about a device I have to say it slowly it's called the chronovisor cronovisor now try saying that word fast and watch how quickly your YouTube video Gets banned and anyway the

chronovisor is a machine that allows the operator to view past and future events and it was designed by an Italian priest and scientist who is trying to prove evidence of the crucifixion and the archives are said to contain the three secrets of Fatima which is a series of visions and prophecies that predict the end of the world and of course some people believe the archives are controlled by the Illuminati which the Vatican is a founding member fact a conspiracy theory that turned out to be true is that the Vatican archives can contained a document that

absolved the Knights Templar of crimes against the church in 2001 the shenon parchment was discovered in the archives and the parchment is dated August 1308 at shanon France and contains interrogations confessions and absolutions of the knights when the shano parchment was made public in 2007 it confirmed the Legacy of the Knights Templar by proving that Pope clont V actually absolve the group of heresy in 1308 it's a fascinating document that reads like Law and Order episode actually a Law and Order SVU episode if if you know what I mean if you want to check it

out I'll put a link to the full text in the description and if you want to see a whole video about the Knights Templar I do let us know in the comments and we'll get on It Room 39 Room 39 also called Bureau 39 and office 39 is officially known as the Central Committee Bureau 39 of the Workers Party of Korea and it's a secretive North Korean party organization that seeks to bring in foreign Curren to party leadership the organization is estimated to bring in $1 billion a year or more and may be involved in

activities such as counter fiting $100 bills producing meth heroin and committing International insurance Fraud for big big bucks W hold on what can we U ease into this this this is crazy okay okay uh we'll we'll ease into it office 39 was set up in the 1970s by the founding father of North Korea Kim ilung as a kind of Royal slush fund it takes its name from the office that occupies inside the Workers Party building in the capital Pyongyang not far from the official residence of the party leader much of what we know about room39

comes from a Defector that ABC interviewed in 2018 he said he spent 5 years working as an agent in the daon group an Umbrella Corporation that smuggled Gins sing gemstones and gold into China so it could be sold on the international markets as Chinese gold apparently evading United Nations sanctions was easy and China played a central part they just changed company names and had branches in different countries we don't know much about the internal operations of room 39 because The Defector is afraid of assassination attempts on himself and his family but there are plenty more

shady details which I'll link below uh uh should we be talking about this oh now you're screamish I was fine until the last story maybe we could cut this one out it's too late now well well how do you say I'm sorry in Korean wait I was being rhetorical is that is that is that how to say it yep I don't why do you hey we all have secrets Don't we yes yes we do 3 + 1 5 plus 0 0 for 600 years the voyage manuscript has stumped Scholars cryptographers physicists computer scientists pretty much

everybody now a researcher in Germany has claimed to have finally decoded the most mysterious book in the world it did what's it say well welcome to the Y files where smart folks Like Us come to laugh and learn have the secrets of the voyage manuscript finally Been revealed well a German egyptologist claims he solved it has he well he thinks so but first some background The Voyage manuscript is a 240 page medieval codex written in an indecipherable language full of bizarre drawings of strange plants astrological symbols and lots and lots of naked women ooh is

there a cold actually there is spicy the voage manuscript defies classification and has also defied comprehension everybody's taken a shot at this Cryptologists FBI operatives respected medievalists mathematic and scientific Scholars skilled linguists they've all been left stumped even Alan Turing took a crack at it and came up short so sorry a book written in an unknown language no one has been able to decode with crumbling Pages made of bound calf skin dating back to the 15th century you'd probably picture something out of a Nicholas C movie hello what you might not picture is a book

filled with Whimsical illustrations of nude women in bathtubs bathtubs with Windows bathtubs shaped like ovaries bathtubs oozing green liquid bathtubs bathtubs bathtubs everywhere these along with drawings of star-shaped flowers and wild green Vines they're all kind of tucked inside the pages the mysterious book has been divided into sections by historians herbal astrological pharmacological and bological bological the study of balls the study of baths ah that makes more Sense The herbal section is thick with elaborate drawings of unrecognized plants they're twisted and spiky with dripping leaves and wide petals and one drawing there's some kind of

reptilian sea creature who looks like a mix between a dragon and a seahorse is chewing on one of the leaves looks like whoever made this book was also making funny tea with those plants that would that would answer some questions in the astrological section Pages fold out into Massive charts of the night sky with complicated constellation intertwined with Doodles of naked women holding stars and emerging from tubes wait wait wait wait is this the cold you were talking about yep no mermaids and nothing nope bit of a let down you need a girlfriend well let's

go to the store and pick one out uh that's not a healthy way to start a relationship if she doesn't work out we'll exchange her for a one you can't do that right right Right right how many times have you said you'd like to trade your wife in for no no no some say the astrological part is the book's most translatable section it features constellations like Pisces Taurus and Sagittarius but they're a little bit off and the bological section is by far the most bizarre you've got naked women floating swimming drowning and resting in all

kinds of baths and the baths are cake-shaped baths or holes In the ground winding River like pipes and baths shaped like a woman's reproductive system this section is the most famous in the manuscript and it's easy to see why people have wondered for centuries why the author was so fascinated with women in bathtubs this is giving me some ideas for a new fish pole design nope don't even how good are you at blowing glass oh I'm not blowing anything for you the last section the pharmacological Section is almost all text in vo of cheese is

vo of cheese made by cows or goats technically it was made by a man I have nipples Greg could you milk me VOA cheese is written from left to right and although it's never been officially deciphered there's definitely a structure to it researchers have concluded that the language has 20 to 25 distinct letters but nobody's been able to figure out how the letters fit together according to Crypt analyst Elizabeth Friedman in 1962 anyone who attempts to translate it is doomed to utter frustration same goes for trying to understand a YouTube algorithm can't argue with that

the theories about the voyage manuscript are all over the place some think the book was written by philosophers in a secret code only they could understand but my favorite theory is alien yep if you Google Voyage plus aliens you get all kinds of great stuff because it Contains a language that cannot be found anywhere else on the planet and given the fact that the ancient manuscript to pick star charts that are unknown to us the voyage manuscript could have been created by a being not from Earth who during the 1400s crash landed here knowing that

humans didn't have the Necessary Technology to help him return to his Planet maybe the alien visitor decided to Chronicle his remaining life on Earth inside the manuscript et's Coloring book oh I love the internet after hundreds of years of failed attempts to translate it no theory was really off the table but this June one man claimed to have cracked the code once and for all according to German egyptologist rer hanig vo aese is actually based in Hebrew he concluded that the text must be a Semitic language and given the European imagery in the book's illustrations

he narrowed the options to Arabic Aramaic or Hebrew Which were languages spoken by the European scholars of the Middle Ages after identifying a connection between certain Voyage characters in Hebrew he managed to translate the first few words and then full sentences it will be years hanik says before the full manuscript will be translated so what's it say mostly gibberish experts in ancient Hebrew are not convinced that hanig cracked anything they've poked more than a few holes in his translation and said He's taken quite a few liberties with the language to try to derive meaning where

it just doesn't exist I'm wrong again wrong about us over the past few decades at least 60 voage Solutions have been published so far all of them have been debunked in 2019 David chesher a research associate at the University of Bristol in England thought the book was written in a language lost to time a predecessor to Modern English and Spanish he told romance studies when I Realized the magnitude of the achievement it was like a Eureka moment and Chester's news hit the media like a tsunami and was debunked with the same amount of force botched

research and a rush to publication added up to a pretty embarrassing mess and as stated in RS Technica after the Fallout another day another dubious claim that someone has quoted The Voyage manuscript in 2017 television writer Nicholas Gibbs made international news When he claimed to have solved the mystery Gibbs believed that the book is a woman's health manual and the language is actually made up of Latin abbreviations now the woman's health book Theory might hold some Merit I mean why else would you doodle ovaries in a bunch of Fallopian tubes unless you Jackie treehorn and

Labowski fans get it but the Latin abbreviation idea was less convincing Latin experts found his Translations to be pretty much nonsense this wasn't too much of a shock Gibbs didn't have a lot of credibility to begin with he was studying the text for a television show and lacked real experience in historical text decoding so TV producers think they know everything even the Hebrew theory has been brought up and shut down before in 2016 two computer scientists announced that they had successfully translated the entire sentences of the book from Hebrew how did they test their Theory

well they typed every Hebrew letter they recognized into Google translate according to their findings the first sentence of the manuscript reads she made recommendations to the priest man of the house and me and people seems legit it wasn't Hebrew experts reviewed this work and said the translation wasn't even close now while the language of the voyage manuscript remains unknown the book's history is slightly less Mysterious although there's still a few hundred years not accounted for historians at the University of Arizona have carbon dated the book to the 15th century between 1404 and 1438 including such

as the style of the illustrations the type of pigments and paints used and the calf skin that the text was written on all indicate it probably originated in Northern Italy The Voyage first appears in the historical record in the late 16th century when Holy Roman Emperor Rudolph II purchased the book and the Imperial physician signature is visible on the first page of the text so we know he probably had it it then passed into the hands of George baresque an alchemist from Prague who referred to the book as a certain riddle of the Sphinx that

was uselessly taking up space when bares Heir inherited the manuscript he sent it to an Egyptian hieroglyphics expert in Rome for help decoding the text did he decode it he Did not he said it couldn't be cracked oh man well they weren't kidding the manuscript then disappeared for 250 years finally resurfacing when it was purchased by polish book dealer Wilfred voyich in 1912 and voyich dedicated his life to deciphering it and eventually the book was named after him for a Time some people believe that boyage himself wrote the manuscript hoping to sell the medieval mystery

for a lot of money but Carbon dating proved this Theory impossible the book was eventually donated to Yale's biniki rare book and manuscript Library where it remains today capturing imaginations igniting Curiosities and fueling controversies while historians and cryptologists linguists and scientists continued their search for The Voyage manuscripts meaning the most logical Theory to me is that it was a hoax perpetrated on Emperor Rudolph by Edward Kelly a medieval scam artist Kelly would go into these transes where he claimed to be able to speak to angels and other people would then write down what the Angels

said in their angel language other people spoke this uh Angel language nope then what do they write down just you know nonsense that is not at all helpful it's not if the manuscript really is a transcription of one of these Angel sessions decoding it is going to be tricky do angels even Have a language oh some people in the comments are going to insist they do you'll see so the best cryptographers are stumped computer scientists and all their tools have gotten nowhere and experts in ancient languages have all hit dead ends I guess all we

have left to do is wait for an angel we were awaiting your arrival 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 I mean who cares what bacterial infections some ancient Swami cured with pine in prayer when we can just use an antibiotic 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 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 now that would be useful 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 let's find out [Music] why 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 why use huge ridiculously heavy

pieces of stone when the same structures could have been made with smaller blocks like bricks yeah they was showing off but we're looking at that question through a modern lens based on the technologies that are available to us today 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 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 hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good Blaster at your side kid yes the Jedi were an ancient culture but let's look at cultures in our own Galaxy how the Great Pyramids of Egypt Were built has been the subject of debate for a long time Aliens the fact is no one really knows for certain how they were constructed oh the aliens know 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 and that

may very well be the case though I have my doubts and if you guys want a whole video on the construction of the pyramids let 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 but let's talk about the 10th Century historian Abul Hassan Ali Al masudi he's known as the Herodotus of the Arabs and almi traveled all over the world but finally settled in Egypt Egypt where he wrote

a 30 volume history of the world like everyone he was a struck by the pyramids and he wrote a very Intriguing passage about how the giant stone blocks were transported 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 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 m then gently settled to the ground and this process was

then repeated over and Over again until the builders had the stone exactly where they wanted it some believe metal poles could have been used to create highfrequency Sound Vibrations which would have been responsible for creating the levitation effects now given that the pyramids were already thousands of years old when almasi wrote this we have to wonder where he got his information was this an oral history passed down through the generations or just a great story created by a talented Writer um can I make a quick Point go ahead may I refer you to Clark's thirdd

Law right Clark's thirdd law says any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from Magic Bingo the Great Pyramid of Giza does possess some extraordinary acoustic properties and can dramatically amplify sounds at certain frequencies so the Egyptians clearly knew a lot about sound science and how it could be used to produce powerful effects possibly including Levitation did striking the rock create vibrations that resulted in Sonic levitation maybe the layout of stones and rods created some kind of magnetic levitation the science for either scenario is sufficiently Advanced and therefore to alasti and to us is indistinguishable from Magic

now the pyramids aren't the only ancient structures made of huge stone blocks 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 let's look at a few more the Temple of Jupiter at balbec 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 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 now nearby is an even bigger Stone it's known as hajar El hea and it's the largest piece of stone ever cut by humans it weighs 1,200 tons it's estimated it would take 16,000 men to even budg it and it would be a huge challenge of modern technology to just create it yet there it is how did they do it nobody really knows let's go to the other side of the planet on a remote Plateau in Bolivia 12,000 ft above sea level there's a monument

called Puerto Del Soul or gate of the sun this elaborately carved megalith is a single piece of stone that weighs 10 tons cool well how did it end up almost 4 km up a mountain and some scientists think that it may not be in its original location and if that's so where did it come from here's another Nadal is an archaeological site on the island of ponpe 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 the engineering of nonm Medal is so

complex nobody can figure out how it was built the lost city dates back to around 200 BC and it's made up of hundreds of stacked Stone logs each about 3 m long and about a meter in diameter the logs which are stacked kind of like firewood create walls that are 40 ft high and 18 ft thick that's taller than a three-story building yet each Stone log weighs about 2 and 1/2 tons 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 the locals didn't have pulleys they didn't have levers they didn't even have access to metal this is Stone AG technology so how do they do it well the locals tell stories about Giants who flew great canoes in the sky aliens and those aliens I mean Giants yeah use 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 well these societies are so old that there is no record of how these structures were constructed but

in almost every culture were 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 simply chanting stones Into position let's see how that works for centuries travelers from the Far East told Tales of acoustic levitation some claim to have encountered Mystics who possess the ability to levitate themselves and objects using sound one famous story comes from a medical doctor named Dr ya he had been brought to a remote area of Tibet in 1939 to treat a Buddhist

holy man suffering from an unknown illness after spending some time with the monks Dr ya eventually gained their confidence and to show their appreciation they performed a demonstration of Sonic levitation that left the good doctor astounded they took him to a meadow that was surrounded by high Cliffs and in the middle of the clearing about 250 M from a cliff was a heavy slab of stone then the monks arranged 19 musical instruments 13 drums and six trumpets in a 90° Arc around the stone and started playing the other monks began singing And chanting a prayer

slowly increasing the tempo during the first 4 minutes nothing happened 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 m above the ground this demonstration was repeated multiple times for Dr y who actually took film footage of this what where's the film oh that's confiscated and classified well That's a piece of I know I actually found a paper that explains scientifically how this levitation might have actually

worked link below and if you're into geometry and geodetics you're going to love it sounds moving you see what I did there another creation credited with acoustic levitation is the Coral Castle located in Florida the Coral Castle is a sprawling Stone compound built by Edward Leed scolin between the years 1923 and 1951 the complex is constructed of nearly 1,000 tons of rock which lead scolin somehow cut shaped lifted and maneuvered into place all by himself just him FYI he was 5T tall and weighed 100 lb itman I ruined the moment didn't I lead scalin refused

to allow visitors or observers on site while he was working so there are no eyewitness accounts detailing his construction methods 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 he also built all kinds of buildings and sculptures all from giant pieces of stone an oblisk he raised weighs 28 tons and the largest rock on the property weighs an estimated 35 tons now some of these stones are twice the weight of the largest blocks in the Great Pyramid of Giza all

this did alone and without heavy machinery the most amazing thing to me is the Stone Gate it Weighs 9 tons and has about a/4 in of clearance inside the frame 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 yet somehow lead scolin was able to do it alone oh this guy definitely wasn't Union nope lead scalin 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 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 I love this guy I do too 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 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 this guy built an Illuminati sand castle with magnets he might have with magnets or sound or both I me there's actual science behind some of this unless you're in a vacuum sound is everywhere sound is created by vibrating M molecules of a medium like air or water into waves the waves hit our eard drums or our skull and our brain decodes the wavelengths into sound 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 you could feel the Bas 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 [Music] glass 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 hey don't don't oversell it I'm sorry I get excited anyway current acoustic levitation techniques use sound traveling through media usually gas to counteract the force

AG gravity a basic acoustic Levitator has two main parts a transducer which is really just the surface that creates The Sound by vibrating kind of like a speaker 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 for example the distance between the transducer and the reflector must be a multiple of half of the wavelength of the sound 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 in an object all you're doing is scattering a bunch of molecules around that won't work but if we remember the story about the Tibetan Monks they were using this precise technique they played specific instruments in unison just like a transducer focused at a specific object from a specific distance like a reflector 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 now I'm not saying the monks actually got this to work but I

am saying the is Sound a pun that was so terrible I didn't mean to do that shame you 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 could the pyramids have been constructed using pulleys ramps and cranes like mainstream egyptologists claim well sure 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 much more so where where 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 CS any challenge of established scientific Dogma is labeled pseudo science isn't that a bit arrogant I isn't pseudo science only pseudo science until it's actual science but people are afraid to go up against the establishment Kepler and cernus were ridiculed by their peers Louis pastor's research was rejected by the medical establishment Gregor Mandel Nicola 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 think about this in 1903 when the Wright brothers and others were building airplanes the New York Times said man flight would not be possible for 1 to 10 million years oops and in 1985 the New York Times said no matter how inexpensive or powerful a laptop computer would become nobody would want one no boy and when Apple Announced the iPhone the times said they'd probably never build it and even if they did nobody would buy it

they and speaking of Twitter here's what the New York Times said when it launched using Twitter for literate communication is about as likely as fu firing up a CB radio and hearing some guy recite the Iliad whether the service could be made into a sustainable business quite unknown I'm skeptical haven't I always told you Don't trust the media you have 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 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 change the world so my message today is not to the corporate Media or social media they make money by getting all of Us to attack each other that's their business model it's shameful and that's why nobody trusts them who cares George Bernard Shaw said all great truths begin as blasphemies 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 this message is to the next Kepler jobs Elon Musk to The Misfits and Dreamers and Visionaries my message is to you they are going to attack you they are going to hate you ignore them keep dreaming keep building keep blaspheming because I can tell you with 100% certainty the world needs you much more than it needs the new New York Times 3 + 5 plus 0 0 I'm a Rocket Man bur Bott you smell that I can smell that underwater but don't look at

me let's get out of here [Music] agreed the smells of the universe are not Universal listen you smell something different objects in space like comets planets moons gas clouds each have their own distinctive Aroma oh I love the smell of the universe in the morning me too we're all watching the expanse right if you're not start immediately it's the best sci-fi show on TV and it's based on a series of novels which are equally Awesome and I will link below anyway the expanse describes the moon as having a gunpowder sting and I remember reading that

and thinking what a cool description and it made me wonder how did they come up with that does the moon really smell like gunpowder turns out it does for this video we're going to assume the moon landing was not faked we are going to assume the moon landing was real you'll believe anything when recalling the smell of the Moon Apollo 17's Jack Schmidt said everyone's impression of the smell was that of spent gunpowder now this is strange because the makeup of lunard dust is completely different than gunpowder moon regolith is made up of silicon Dio

oide glass created by billions of years of meteor impacts it also contains iron calcium and magnesium but modern gunpowder is a combination of nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin so why the similarity well nobody really knows But it could be a sign that moondust is chemically active so how does this smell even happen well there are a couple of theories one is called the desert rain effect you ever notice that awesome smell that happens after a summer rain that smells called Petra cor from the Greek words Petra meaning rock or stone and the word IA which is the

fluid that flows through the veins of the Gods on Earth plant oils accumulate on rocks during dry periods along with another Compound geosman which is a metabolic byproduct of bacteria found in soil and during rain the oils and geosmin are released into the air causing that distinctive smell of Petra cor and if there's lightning sometimes you can sniff a little ozone obviously there are no plants on the moon but there's still stuff right the molecules trapped in the dry moondust may have been activated by contact with the moist air in the lunar module just like

Petra Po and the desert Rain effect another theory is solar winds hot solar winds of hydrogen helium and other ions Buffet the moon's surface and may become trapped in the dust when the ions are dislodged such as by an astronaut's footsteps then come in contact with the warm air inside the lunar module they evaporate it's possible these ions were brought into the cabin producing the odor either way the smell didn't last long by the time the moon dust made it back to Earth it Was completely odorless so we'll have to take NASA's word for it

but space itself may even have a smell astronauts returning from space walks have reported smelling burnt metal or burnt meat and no one really knows for sure what this is but it could be molecules of metal leeching off onto space suits then oxidizing when it comes into contact with actual humidified air now I think that's super interesting so let's work our way around the solar system and see Which planet smells like toasted almonds and which planet smells like the portapotty on the last day of a renaissance fair that refence refence was oddly specific Mercury Mercury

is the smallest and closest planet to the Sun named after the Greek God Hermes translated into Latin as mercurious the messenger of the Gods and Mercury contains a lot of sodium which doesn't have much of an odor but there's also a lot of silicon Dioxide present like the moon so we assume the smell would be gunpowder just salty gunpowder Venus Venus is the second planet from the sun named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty when they name the planet they clearly couldn't smell it Venus has a thick atmosphere mostly carbon dioxide there's also

heavy clouds of sulfuric acid that combination makes Venus smell like a burnt match and rotten eggs Mars Mars is the fourth planet from the sun and the Second smallest planet in the solar system being larger than only Mercury named for the Roman god of war Mars is often referred to as the red planet because of the iron oxide on the surface now despite what Matt Damon would tell you Mars doesn't have much of an atmosphere since Mars lost its magnetosphere billion of years ago solar winds are constantly stripping away atoms from the outer layer but

what atmosphere there is contains methane Formalde carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide the Martian sand smells like rusty metal because that's what iron oxide is combining the odors of the surface with the odors of the air and Mars is probably going to smell like the exhaust of an old car with a bad catalytic converter it's basically the same stuff and yeah you can't breathe that I'm definitely going to die up here Jupiter Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun and the largest in the solar System it's a gas giant named after the king of the

Roman gods a Jupiter's atmosphere is 5,000 km thick and actually has multiple layers each with slightly different smells the outer layers have a lot of ammonia which smells like horse urine hello As you move closer to the surface the atmosphere becomes more sulfuric smelling like skunk and horse urine the inner layers have a high concentration of hydrogen cyanide which Smells like toasted almonds and skunk and horse urine and rotten eggs Saturn Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun and the second largest in the solar system after Jupiter it's also a gas giant named after

the Roman God of wealth and agriculture now Saturn's atmosphere is 96% hydrogen and 4% helium so not much of a smell but there are Trace Amounts of methane phosphine acetylene and ammonia and phosphine can smell like rotten Fish what so Saturn probably smells like dead fish and skunk and rotten eggs what's with all the rotten eggs good question eggs are very high in two proteins globulin and keratin when globulin decays a toxic chemical is released hydrogen sulfide which has a very potent sulfur smell I mean you know it when you smell it and keratin also

has very high levels of amino acid called cysteine which is also full of sulfur hydrogen sulfide happens To be one of the most common compounds in the solar system so rotten eggs everywhere Uranus Uranus Uranus please please don't say it that way you say tomato I say Uranus tomato Uranus potato do you mind all right go ahead I couldn't resist Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun named for the Greek god of buts Greek god of the sky it's probably the smelliest planet in the solar system stop it the upper atmosphere is mostly Hydrogen

so not much of a smell but as you get closer to the surface it it gets pretty ripe have we a probed Uranus yes we we have no I hope they were gentle so why does Uranus smell so bad well the cloud tops of Uranus are made of hydrogen sulfide that gas responsible for the foul smell of rotten eggs and human flatulence a little lower in the atmosphere you'll find methane amonia so so Uranus smells like a public toilet it [Music] does Neptune named after the Roman god of the sea Neptune is the eighth and

farthest planet from the sun that's 17 times the mass of the Earth it's slightly more massive than its twin Uranus does it smell as bad as Uranus well most of the compounds are frozen in the atmosphere so really just hydrogen and helium are present Neptune doesn't have much of a smell at all a that's too bad I got more jokes no I'm sure you do Everywhere else a few honorable mentions dwarf planet Pluto is a near vacuum with nitrogen methane and carbon monoxide so deadly but odorless one of Saturn's moons Enceladus is covered in ice

but underneath it has an ocean of liquid salt water and it was recently discovered that plumes of methanol are ejected from the surface so it could smell like a martini I'm steo and this is the Poo cocktail Supreme comets mostly smell like burnt metal and of Course rotten eggs and lots of asteroids contain from alahh and cyanide so they could smell like pickles and marzipan no sounds like what my ex-wife ate when she was pregnant you've been married three times huh I didn't know that well I had a life before you came along you know

okay okay take it easy sorry sorry I'm I'm still working through some things anyway the center of our galaxy is the dustcloud Sagittarius B2 and in that cloud scientists have discovered a Substance called ethyl formate which is the chemical responsible for the flavor of raspberries and the smell of rum so not so bad so here's what we learned today what's that the worst smelling thing in a solar system is Urus I hate you in 1981 an arcade in Portland was the scene of countless Gamers coming down with migraines having heart attacks seizures and strokes local

teens were suffering from amnesia IIA and having hallucinations all due to a mysterious Game that seemed to arrive out of thin air the game was called pbus and even though playing the game was dangerous it was highly addictive and caused some teams to become hyper aggressive fights started breaking out of the arcade one player was stabbed to death all traced back to people who played pus now why would the government allow the public to play such a dangerous game well because the government created it let's find out why If you've never heard the urban legend

about pus here's how it goes in 1981 a Portland arcade received a video game called pbus that had gameplay unlike anything anyone had ever seen before the player would stare at random geometric patterns and strange shapes causing them to fall into a sort of hypnotic State the game was known for its psychedelic images unsettling soundtrack and subliminal messages and if you played pus it could cause all kinds of Physiological effects Amnesia anxiety night terrors aggression insomnia it could also cause physical effects like migraine headaches nausea vertigo even heart attacks and strokes pus was created by

a company named sinus lotion which in German roughly translates to sense deleting now after playing two Portland teenagers disappeared without a trace a some say they were abducted others say they were recruited whoa now this game was so addictive the players Would line up around the block and get into physical fights in order to play it people reported that the pivus machines were watching players and collecting data about them that data was periodically retrieved by men in black suits who serviced the machines and The Story Goes that these men in black could change the game's

attributes in order to elicit different responses from the players mind control yep grab my hat please ah thank you the game was only Released in two arcades and only for a short time then it disappeared as quickly and as quietly as it arrived never to be seen again now this is an urban legend and it's a good one but how much of it is true well actually more than most people think but it wasn't just any game you have been recruited by the star league to defend the frontier against Z and the clan Arman to

get to the truth of the story of pus you have to dig pretty deep And if you Google pvus you'll get a bunch of blurry images of an arcade cabinet there's no way to tell if these are photoshopped or an actual physical cabinet existed if one did exist I doubt there's photos of it also there's only one known screen capture of the game's title screen the screen cap shows the name of the game the year copyright and says it was developed by a company named cus lotion now in German this translates to sensory deprivation or

sense deleting But it's not a good translation so probably not a native German speaker there's also no evidence of a company ever existing in Germany with the name c lotion no company anywhere had that name so no help there now the font used for the title itself is actually unusual for the time the memory required to produce this effect was pretty significant in the early ' 80s only games from huge companies like Nintendo and Williams were known to put so many resources into A title screen and the screen font is very close to a font

used by Williams but a couple of letters don't quite match so again not much to go on now there are a few sources that say polius was mentioned on uset as early as 1994 now for you Young Bucks uset news groups were a type of global Message Board used during the early days of the internet and if something was happening on the internet there was a News Group about it Google has archived messages going back To the beginning of uset but searches for pus come up empty now what about the gaml itself the sources claimed

that pus was vector-based similar to games like Tempest or Battle Zone now Tempest was a huge game at the time and known for its unique Graphics so it's reasonable that people who are playing arcade games in that time remember Tempest I definitely do and Battle Zone was used by the military as a training tool for tank Crews the Army's version was called the Bradley trainer so the government creating arcade games that's absolutely true now what about the story that people would get sick playing vector-based games like pus or Tempest or actually die after playing certain

games turns out this is also true an open mind is easy to expand it might even be a good idea to heed the advice that one game player carries on his shirt maybe it's a warning in 1982 14-year-old Michael Lopez was playing Tempest with friends at the Malibu Grand Prix arcade in Beaverton Oregon he began to feel a weird sensation in the back of his head and he started losing his vision he became dizzy stumbled outside the arcade and threw up all over the parking lot he then collapsed a few blocks from his home screaming

in pain now apparently the game's flashing lights and visual effects triggered a migraine or a Seizure okay then there's the case of Jeff Daly who died after playing the game berserk that same year the daily had an unknown congenital heart condition apparently the stress of trying to break the game's high score triggered a heart attack same for Peter bowy of CET City who also died of heart failure while playing berserk also in Calumet City two teenage boys got into a fight over a game and one stabbed the other to death and then there's Brian Morrow

who is playing Asteroids for 28 straight hours trying to break the record he got sick and collapsed now Morrow was pounding coca-colas for hours so it's understandable that he gets sick from that now he survived but when these stories stack up you can see how they can lead to paranoia about the effects of playing video games now it seems weird now but in the early ' 80s Video Games Were a new phenomenon and like always parents are suspicious of Anything new fun and seemingly addictive like playing video games now can you really blame them now

game developer job is is to make a game so fun and immersive and addictive that you want to throw money at it I mean that's just as true now as it was back then whether it's putting coins in a slot or microtransactions in a mobile game the psychology is the same game companies want you to give them money and they want to give you hits ad dopent cool a Role of a game company or any Corporation is to make money so nobody disputes that they're transparent about it but people tend to be more suspicious of

the government than they are of Corporations because the not so transparent no now do government agencies really conduct top secret operations using video games at arcades that's a rhetorical question right it is because the answer is yes they did the FBI's records indicate that the Agency actually was monitoring and raiding arcades in Portland at the same time that players were collapsing arcades had reputations of being places for drug activity gambling and petty crime like pickpocketing now though the story were sensationalized in the media of course people really were gambling over pinball games kids really were

buying and smoking weed in arcades so how does this factor into the pbus legend well during one sting operation The FBI placed microphones and cameras inside video games to gather evidence on criminal activity one of the games they used was Tempest Tempest again yep now the FBI didn't care that Tempest was a vector game all they cared about was that the cabinet had large bevels and a lot of room behind the glass perfect for cameras and this FBI operation was so extensive that in the early 8s there was actually a shortage of Tempest cabinets in

the Pacific Northwest because the Feds were all over it and apparently the feds weren't very discreet about picking up their camera footage agents dressed in suits and ties would show up in an arcade open the machine and pull out videotape and then leave they didn't even bother with the coins St nads okay but what about the CIA conducting mind control experiments can that possibly be true that's another rhetorical question of course it's true it's true the CIA became convinced the Communists had found the key to brainwashing now the Americans had to unlock the mystery of

Mind Control early in the Cold War the CIA was convinced that Communists had discovered a drug that would allow them to control human Minds in response the CIA began its own secret program called MK Ultra the goal was to find a mind control drug that could be weaponized against enemies MK Ultra which operated in the 1950s and 60s was created and run by a chemist Named Sydney gotle now some experiments were covertly funded at universities and research centers While others were conducted in American prisons and in detention centers in Japan Germany and the Philippines and

subjects endured psychological torture ranging from electric shock to very high doses of LSD the Gotti realized that mind control was a two-part process first you had to destroy the existing mind then you had to find a way to insert a new mind into The void now the CIA didn't get too far creating minds but they did a hell of a job destroying them the top secret nature of MK Ultra makes it impossible to measure the human cost of the experiments why is that oh because the CIA destroyed the files yeah that doesn't sound legal it's

not that's your government people enjoy now we don't know how many people died during MK Ultra but we know some did and many lives were permanently destroyed and the US government has been experimenting on people against their will for as long as the government has existed so it's not far of a stretch to think they would use video games for this purpose maybe they have they have maybe they are they are what the United States government did was shameful and I am sorry now these stories are all true but none of them are actually connected

to a game called pus no such game has ever been found and If you find a game called pus it's either fan-made or it's a hoax freeware developer Rogue synapse is known for creating fictional arcade games like the one from the last starf fighter they created a game named pus in 2007 and their version attempts to recreate the gameplay described in the urban legend including psychedelic visuals and subliminal messages it's pretty creepy it's kind of fun I'll link it below you can play it's free yeah no no thanks I'm Good coward oh speaking of the

last star fighter that's a movie from the 80s where an Intergalactic space force uses a video game to recruit star Pilots this probably leaked into the B's Legend allegedly players were disappearing and it was said they were either abducted by the government or were actually recruited by the government I've seen him come and I've seen him go but you're the best my boy light years ahead of the Competition hey so the name pivus was probably chosen specifically to troll people who were into conspiracies what pus was a Greek philosopher born in 200 BC in megalopolis

and he's known for puzzles in cryptography and you might have heard of the pus Square which is a type of Cipher name for him pus also famously said you should never believe anything unless it could be verified with hard Evidence and Witnesses irony so yeah I think whoever started the story was trolling us now the urban legend of pivus emerged in February of 2000 when a listing for the game showed up on coop.org a website that covers arcade games now the entry for pivus listed the game as having been copyrighted in 1981 but no copyright

exists and it talks about bizarre rumors and says the game's history is unknown the person believed to have created the Post and this entire Legend is Kurt ker the owner of coin op after coin op created their listing for pus caller tipped off game pro magazine about it a game pro referenced pus in an article about secrets and lies in video games and as to whether pus was a secret or a lie game pro said the story was inconclusive that was a big deal in the early 2000s game pro was one of the largest gaming

magazines in the country so this generated interest a few months Later the story landed on slash Dot and if you remember the internet in the early 2000s a mention on slash dot was a huge deal a legend was born now since then pbus has been all over the media the subject of countless investigations it's even been referenced in pop culture H never saw this one before when an unsolved mystery gets as much attention as this there's going to be people claiming that they were involved one notorious hoaxer is someone named Steven Roach who posted on

coin op that he worked on the game did he no his story has been investigated and debunked but it got him plenty of attention and if Kurt caller invented the story to drum up traffic for his website work like a charm worked like a charm so is the story of polius true well the psychology behind addictive games and social media platforms like Facebook are certainly a form of Mind Control the US government has a long History of experimenting on its citizens so there's no doubt in my mind that the government is doing that right now

now people can become addicted to video games and have gotten sick and even died playing them government agents were using arcade games and secret operations all of these things happened and they all happened in Portland about the same time so no I don't think the game ever existed but the rest of the story it's completely true and that's why as far as Urban legends go the story of pivus is just about perfect 3 plus 5 plus 0 how do you join a cult without knowing it well here's how it happened to thousands of people in

San Francisco just a few years ago you're with a trusted friend maybe on a hike or sitting in a bar or just hanging out then out of nowhere your friend asks can you keep a secret well of course you reply that you can your friend then hands you a small black sleeve about the Size of a credit card on one side of the sleeve OSS in gold is a geometric pattern on the other side the words absolute discretion inside is a security card printed with a website and a code later that night you go to

the site and enter the code and the website responds with congratulations you've been invited to the latitude and what happens next changes you forever after entering your code you set up an appointment to visit the San Francisco house you're ordered to tell no one and come alone you arrive at a non-descript building and swipe your card through the electronic lock the door opens you're now in a narrow hallway painted matte black from invisible speakers an ominous pulsing sound is heard on the walls are two red lights which fade in and out in time with the

sound high above you in the room like every room in the latitude is a camera you are being watched at the End of the hall is an ornate Victorian mantle of some kind but where you'd expect to find a fireplace is the entrance to a wooden slide and the slide curves down into the darkness so there's no way to tell where it leads this no sign or instructions or nothing nope how do you know this doesn't lead to something moreful like sharks or snakes or a K-pop concer you don't to go any further inside the

latitude you must literally go down a rabbit hole with no Idea what awaits you at the bottom after a quick and gentle trip down the slide you're deposited into a basement room called the flux chamber on one side of the room is a series of doors on the other is a bright neon sign that says sh and under that sign behind glass is a ticket taker but the glass is so heavily frosted that you can't really see the person's face you simply hear their voice you're given a claim ticket and Asked to turn over all

your personal belongings your wallet purse phone Keys everything in your pockets you're told this is for your own safety I don't like where this is going once you've complied with this request you hear a door unlock you enter and close the door behind you it's dark so dark that you have no idea if you're in a huge room or a closet you can't see your hands in front of your face and it's so quiet that it almost feels like the air is being sucked out Of the room and after a second or two you hear

a muffled click as the door locks you in you now have no choice but to go forward into the black without your wallet without your phone without your eyes in the black you feel your way around everything Florida ceiling is covered in thick carpet and as you move forward the passageway gets smaller and smaller closing in around you you can no longer stand you have to literally crawl Forward if you're claustrophobic or Afraid of the Dark Panic is going to set in pretty quickly now moving slowly on your hands and knees you hear music playing

you keep moving and see a hint of light you reach the end of the passage and you draw back a heavy black curtain you're now in a small six-sided room lined with books all of which say the latitude and all the pages are blank a voice from somewhere tells you to place a book on a Podium and open it the Lights go out and suddenly the blank pages of the book you chose begin to show you a story this is called the Fable the Fable talks about an ancient society that walled itself off from the

rest of the world but 12 Brave citizens dug a tunnel under the wall in order to bring their philosophy to other cultures now after the Fable is told you see the words absolute discretion the lights come back on and you're instructed by name to move on so you enter another Small door and continue crawling through the dark again you crawl yeah who started this cult a me doctor I don't see how and you crawl to another secret room which has a stack of business cards that say do you have knee and joint pain call Jeffrey

Rosen MD latitude Orthopedics you like that the next room you find looks like an old office there's a couch coffee table and a vintage phone the phone has one button that blinks for your Attention you pick up the receiver you have been selected out of many and were chosen for a reason one of our members has great faith in you in bright Axiom my friend you exit the room gather your belongings walk back out to the street now on the ground embedded into the sidewalk itself is the mysterious hex logo of the latitude now people

walk by going about their day completely unaware of the absolute bizarre experiences going on inside you yourself are AR Quite sure what just happened then your cell phone rings the voice on the other end of the phone tells you you've been chosen for a special Mission over the next few hours a series of calls and texts directs you around the city on sort of an urban scavenger hunt now at one point you're told to go to a local bar give the bartender your card and say nothing the bartender then slides you a heavy brass coin

and on the coin it says absolute Discretion a few minutes later you get a text sending you to another address and when you arrive you see the hex logo stamped in the cement this is the place you get another text with a door code you try it it works you see the hex logo on the stairwell you walk up the stairs following the clues that have now become familiar and when you reach your designated floor it's just a row of offices but one of the doors has a key card lock and the door is labeled

Den Arcadia so you try your card it works the room is covered in ornate psychedelic murals and in the middle of the room are five vintage arcade games so you put in your coin and start playing now at first the game plays normally but after a minute or so it glitches out and you see a mysterious glowing figure who disturbs my coma this is quas the gatekeeper of the latitude theas gives you a secret word he then instructs you to go home to your glowing Box and enter the signal back home you enter the code

on the latitude website you're then shown a video of Professor Walter Kinley the latitude for us has a double meaning as you can see on the one hand latitude means Geographic breadth width a sense of leeway the professor welcomes you to the latitude society as a comper and he then gets on a boat and sails away you then choose a society Secret name called a moniker and you now have access to all the perks of the latitude Society like what kind of perks well you can go to their e-commerce store and buy latitude merchandise like

t-shirts keychains and other swag ah there it is you can also attend secret Gatherings called practices you can participate in other events which are called jauns but most importantly you can now invite others to join the society for about $30 each you can Purchase those mysterious latitude security cards and as long as you use absolute discretion you can buy as many cards as you like this is a pretty complicated way to sell merch it is and this is one of the reasons for the downfall of the latitude at least this version of it to learn

what went wrong and what happened to the latitude Society we have to pull back the curtain and that leads us to the latitude founder and chief Visionary his name is Jeff Hall you know like for some people heaven and hell is reality Jeff Hull is a Silicon Valley Tycoon artist he worked for his father's Financial firm and made a bundle when they sold the business for half a billion dollars Hull went on to create a company called nonchalant which specializes in real world immersive storytelling things like Escape rooms or murder mysteries is this type of

Entertainment nonchalance uses the urban landscape as a canvas on which to paint these interactive narratives another well-known nonchalant experience was called The jijun Institute and its format was similar to the latit but maybe a little more Sinister Jun needs its own video but if you're interested in things like this I'll link you to a documentary in the description the TV show dispatches from elsewhere starring Jason seagull is based on the jijun Institute so check that out if you want to learn more about how these immersive experiences work so what was the intention of the latitude

Society was it a game yes was it a business yes but was it a cult well what are the things that like a cult would do you know separate yourself from your friends well absolute discretion might might be that right um ask for money oh like you know they have like it was a gift shop beforehand But now all of a sudden it's like if you want to continue on in the early days of the ltitude society the intent was to create amazing immersive experiences to attract corporate clients who wanted to commission their own experiences

whether for entertainment team building or marketing Jeff Hull believed he could use the latitude as proof of concept to raise funding and he needed to the society cost about $3,000 per day to Operate and Hull put about $2 million of his own money in but after 3 years the latitude couldn't sustain itself so Hull introduced some controversial policies initially members could invite anyone they wanted to for free but eventually invitation cards cost $25 which was soon raised to $32 per card now members didn't like this then Hull announced that there would be a membership fee

of about $300 per year this caused fullscale outrage members argued that When they invited someone to join they were giving them a gift and asking them to pay for their gift was rude so everyone just wanted all this for free they did in greats well Jeff Hull kind of felt the same way the latitude Society had over 3,000 members but even if all of them paid their membership dues paid for invitation cards bought merchandise you still fall way short of the $100,000 per month the latitude needed to be self- sustaining so what Did that guy

do the only thing you do with a failing startup he shut it down but this was easier said than done Jeff Hull and the latitude Society were so good at creating an experience so immersive that members couldn't distinguish it from reality now whether intentional or not that's how Cults are created I totally underestimated the power that the story can have upon certain people no matter what kind of life you lead Most of it falls into the mundane day in day out you're going through the motions so when someone invites you to join a mysterious secret

society it's only natural to be intrigued and this secrecy is attractive people love to belong and if it's something exclusive that creates scarcity it makes you feel special now I remember when the only way to join Gmail was if someone invited you and when Facebook launched you could only join if you were a student currently enrolled in College you know we preach over and over about how labeling people is bad but if we're honest we all have labels that we've given to ourselves that we're proud of maybe it's our country our political party our religion

or our favorite sports team we want to be in a tribe now during a Latitude Gathering or practice there's going to be crazy rituals like chanting dancing costumes all kinds of things that would look silly to Outsiders but latitude members Fully committed to their roles these experiences were special to them they were important to the tribe and the invitation system is genius people want to be Promethean meaning they want to be the holders of knowledge who teach that knowledge to others so think about an obscure band or TV show that you discovered before anyone else

it made you feel cool to be early to be first the person who initiates you into the latitude Society is called your Ascendant and you are their descendant tribes have hierarchies and people like rising in the ranks the more people you bring into the society the more descendants you have the higher you rise in the tribe genius there's a specific model of identifying Cults developed by Steven Hassan and it's called The Bite model of control B that's Behavior information thought and emotion so let's see how the latitude shapes up I was actually a little bit

nervous that I was Going to be kidnapped or that you know there was going to be some kind of crazy Pagan ritual with some kind of sacrifice or something like that I didn't really know what to expect at the top of the behavioral control section of the bite model is regulate an individual's physical reality latitude does this by Design then there's isolation from non-members absolute discretion certainly covers this then there's controlling what clothes you wear now Look at the shot of the latitudes Elder Council notice everyone's wearing a Latitude Sash and on the sash are

various pins and Insignia showing your rank in the organization's hierarchy even Jeff Hull himself is wearing what looks to be a military uniform now this is similar to what the leader of Scientology wears did you just beat me had to we had to call it the Tom Cruz thing the Tom Cruz thing that's psychology hey look if you say the s Word they're going to come after us with lawyers and video cameras good point I in the bite model is information control Cults use deception latitude does this information is not freely available to Outsiders spying

is used cult generated propaganda is created also information is shared unproportionally one ex latitude member complained that she had to give the society all kinds of personal information about herself but when she asked how that information was Going to be used and who had access to it she was told she didn't need to know now latitude checks all these boxes T is thought control members are encouraged to take on a new identity sir what's your mono welcome Sho techniques are used to alter mental States members are required to take the Cults Doctrine as truth meditating

chanting praying and rituals are used to instill a new map of reality checks all the boxes all the boxes e is Emotional control this includes making you feel like the cult can help you reach your full potential another thing Cults do to manipulate emotion is shunning those that leave in an excellent article in Vice one former member talks about how after she left the society her roommates stopped telling her where they were going and they treated her as suspicious the latitude Society checks a lot of these boxes even active members posted Anonymously on Reddit asking

others is this a cult they were worried that they like most cult members joined by accident that's pretty scary did the founder of the latitude Society Jeff Hall set out to form a cult well I I don't think he did but whether intentional or not he seems to have an intuition for how to manipulate people now fortunately I don't think he tried to do any harm nor did he try to enrich himself he could have taken advantage of His members but he didn't so this leads to a deeper and potentially dangerous question a religion is

defined as a group of people adhering to a specific set of beliefs a cult is defined as a group of people adhering to a specific set of beliefs yeah that's the same definition it is but religion is widely accepted Cults not so much nobody can argue that religions have or had cruel practices and many people who leave Cults felt that while they were in them Their lives were better so what's the difference between a cult and a religion I don't have the answer you in 2011 Dutch scientists connected mice to a brain scanner and cut

their heads off they discovered that mice remained conscious for up to 4 seconds after decapitation other studies show that small mammals remained aware for up to 29 seconds now if this is also true for humans it would provide enough time for A pretty gruesome experience and might also explain some pretty Grizzly stories from history so does a human head remain conscious after being separated from its body it sure does let's find out [Music] why a common method of execution throughout history has been beheading and it's easy to see why it sends a powerful message that

kept citizens in line for thousands of years throughout history we find many stories about how Some decapitated heads still move their eyes or make facial expressions usually of Anguish or despair some have even made sounds despite being severed from the rest of their body there's even a famous story about a man who attended the execution of his friend during the French Revolution now seconds after the guillotine fell the man retrieved the severed head and asked it a series of questions and through blinking and facial expressions the victim allegedly Communicated with his friend this type of

post head chopped off Consciousness is called Lucid decapitation so scientists and doctors started to ask the question does a person really stay conscious and aware after losing their head well the answer is not only is it possible but it's medically proven debate on the subject started ever since Charlotte cord was guillotined in 1793 for murder The Executioner's assistant lifted her head by the hair and slapped It on both cheeks for some reason and eyewitnesses reported that quote her face took on an angry expression and for a moment or two there was a look of a

ghastly stare which implied that the head was aware of its ignominious situation ignominious it means humiliating I know what it means anyway French doctors argue that Witnesses were confusing nervous asms with voluntary motion and very little research was conducted on the subject until 1905 when A French doctor named BAU was allowed to make an investigation of a severed head his um subject was a criminal named enre Lil and immediately after guillotining here's what Dr Barrow wrote in his journal after the decapitation on the eyelids and lips spasmed for about 5 Seconds the face relaxed the

lids half closed leaving only the white visible it was then that I called out in a strong voice Lil as then saw the eyelids slowly Lift up with even movement quite distinct and normal such as with people awakened or torn from their thoughts next Lil's eyes definitely fixed on mine and the pupils focused I was not then dealing with a vague dull look I was dealing with undeniably living eyes which were looking at me after several seconds the eyelids closed again I called out again and once more without any spasm the eyelids lifted and living

eyes fix themselves on mine with more Penetration than the first time since there was a further closing of the eyelids but now less complete I attempted a third call but there was no further movement and the eyes took on the glazed look which they have in the [Music] dead um you okay de sport hello oh boy not again sorry folks the the human gets a little Squeamish uh we'll be back after these messages by the mid 20th century the government of France wasn't so sure beheading was as painless as its supporters claimed in the 1950s

a study by doctors p lra and forier concluded that death by guillotine is not instantaneous the report said every vital element survives decapitation the last man to be guillotina in France was Tunisian Born Killer Hamida djubi in 1977 djubi became the last person in Western Europe to be executed by the state before France officially abolished capital punishment in 1981 now French authorities had already banned public executions after the heading of Eugene Weedman in 1939 this event was secretly filmed by a member of the crowd in Versailles and once the horrible film made the rounds the

government preferred to do its killing in private however there is one decapitated head which still sort of lives on at the University Of Lisbon's facility of medicine Dogo Alves was Portugal's first serial killer and one of the last people to be executed in the country in 1841 his severed head was actually cut off and studied by scientists following his hanging and is now preserved in a glass jar in the medical school they had this head for 150 years yep why keep it sometimes it's just really hard to throw things [Music] Away okay so chopping off

your head doesn't result in immediate death but just how long do you actually survive some doctors have said a human head could survive up to 15 minutes but it's probably just a few seconds when the brain runs out of oxygen this is called anoxia and all motor functions stop though the headless body lives on for about another minute until the heart stops pumping but if we look at some other animals some of them can survive For longer than you think cockroaches can live for weeks without their head and if the wound is able to seal

itself off well it just keeps ongoing headlessly a decapitated snake's head can still bite you and release Venom without its body headless frogs still jump snapping turtles still snap for hours just the heads but the craziest headless animal has got to be the chicken specifically Miracle Mike no the movie with the male strippers no no no No that's Magic Mike yeah I don't think you're right about that I am Miracle Mike was a chicken who belonged to a farmer in Colorado named Lloyd ol and Lloyd was planning on having a little chicken dinner but after

chopping off Miracle Mike's head he kept walking around the farmer kept walking around no Miracle Mike the chicken what yep he was able to balance himself run around and was still trying to Peck for food so Lloyd decided to keep him as a pet oh no this this isn't real oh it it is Lloyd fed Miracle Mike a mixture of milk and water with an eye dropper to keep them alive and even dropped small of corn down Mike's neck hole gross just get a puppy for crying out loud this is crazy what's even crazier is

Miracle Mike lived for 18 more months without his head he went on tour made public appearances he was even on the cover of Time Life magazine that's a terrible way To become famous Miracle Mike was considered to be very healthy the only reason he died was because one of those Corin Colonels got stuck in his nickle right if there's a lesson in there somewhere probably but I don't know what it is 3 plus one five plus z0 after six long years of fighting the Allies finally defeated the German war machine in 1945 in July of

that year the leaders of the Allies Roosevelt Churchill and Stalin met at the Potsdam Conference to decide what would become of Germany and how to divide The Spoils of War now publicly the Allied leaders were friendly and respectful but privately it was a different story when the cameras were off it there was anger mistrust and hours of arguing Stalin felt that Churchill was weak and deceitful and Roosevelt threw a fit when he heard Stalin's demands for war reparations even though the Soviet Union And the United States were allies they weren't friends the Potsdam Conference marked

the end of the last war but it was the beginning of a new [Music] one on August 4th 1945 just a few days after Potsdam the United States Ambassador William AAL Harman received a gift from a group of Soviet children who belong to the Vladimir Lenin all Union Pioneer organization the Vlad of what they were like uh Russian Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts but uh more [Music] [Music] patriotic [Music] for whoa yeah something tells me these kids don't sell cookies nope intense the kids presented the Ambassador with an impressive gift to commemorate the Friendship of

the US and the Soviet Union a handcarved wooden replica of the Great Seal of the United States the Ambassador was so pleased with the carving that he hung it in his office at the official Ambassador residence in Moscow the spazo house what Harman didn't realize is that the wooden carving was more than just a decoration now hanging on the wall just behind the ambassador's desk was a state-of-the-art highfrequency listening device that was completely undetectable Ambassador Harman held private meetings with military diplomatic and Intelligence officials there he had top secret conversations with generals the Secretary of

State and the president and the Russians they could hear every word oh boy how long before they found this bug seven years no for crying out loud yep the intelligence Community call the device the thing you got to be kidding and the thing was on the office wall of five different ambassadors over 7even years how did they finally find it Well by accident actually and that's what Makes the thing so interesting and so effective this was an electronic listening device that didn't require electricity diplomats serving at the American Embassy in Moscow were very concerned about

Soviet spying all staff from the cooks to the cleaners were background checked they were constantly sweeping for bugs and even people visiting the embassy were given cards on arrival that warned them that they should assume all rooms and even outdoor Spaces were being monitored even with all these security measures in place the Soviet Secret Police Were Somehow able to listen to the American ambassador's private conversations for years completely undetected the thing was created by Leon Therman a Russian inventor most famous for developing one of the world's first electronic musical instruments which he called the thein

name checks out it's all about branding I don't think I've ever heard of a thin Oh you [Music] have yeah okay I know that one bring back David Tenant sorry sorry I get emotional about Dr Who I understand in the 1920s Therman was touring the world showing off his invention he even performed with the New York Phil harmonica and at Carnegie Hall now eventually he set up a lab in New York and developed one of the first metal detectors for alcatra prison he also Created an electronic burglar alarm and was the first person to demonstrate

interlace video now this was advanced stuff for the 1920s Therman was Ching out inventions working with Thomas Edison and really making a name for himself but in 1938 he suddenly disappeared when Leon Therman suddenly and mysteriously disappeared from New York in 1938 it was reported that he was executed but eyewitnesses said that they Saw him talking to several tough talking Russians who um encouraged him to return to the Soviet Union did he go back well the other option was a firing squad he went back he did in Russia thean was put in a Siberian gag

and given a choice he could work a gold mine breaking big rocks into smaller ones or he could work at a shashka which is a secret lab for detained scientists and Engineers he chose the lab he did at the secret lab fman was tasked with developing new Surveillance technology to bug the US Embassy and the spazo house his first success was an infrared microphone called a boron eavesdropping device which inspired the modern laser microphone and it worked by emitting a low power IR beam to detect vibrations on glass windows now the Boron system worked well

but it required good line of sight which the Russians didn't have at the spazo house in Moscow they needed to get something inside so Thurman invented The thing the first resonant cavity microphone the thing was light Hollow and it was made of wood so it would vibrate when sound passed into it and this is a lot like how a guitar body generates sound when strings vibrate but the thing was shaped so that sound wouldn't amplify outwards like a guitar but instead sound waves were focused on an interior membrane that acted as a microphone and the

microphone was attached to a small antenna which could Broadcast radio waves but radios need power to broadcast and that's why the thing is so unique it didn't have its own power source and wasn't connect Ed with wires instead it was activated externally the NSA calls this technique Illuminating a device and when the Russians knew and important meeting was happening at the embassy they would park an unmarked van somewhere close by and then using a strong radio transmitter agents could activate the thing's Antenna remotely and listen to conversations at will once the thing was no longer

illuminated it was completely inert now this was genius Cutting Edge and highly effective and that's why it operated for years undetected until in 1951 a full 6 years after the thing was installed in the American Embassy in Moscow a British Army Radio operator was randomly scanning frequencies coming from the Moscow airport then suddenly he heard what Sounded like an American conversation now as he tuned the signal he realized he recognized one of the voices as the British Air attache now completely by accident he had tuned into the KGB frequency now he alerted the embassy who

conducted a full bug sweep but they found nothing then about a year later another operative was scanning Soviet military radio traffic when he picked up a conversation in English that seemed to be coming from the spazo house the new Ambassador George Kenan called in a special anti- Espionage unit to perform a sweep but this time they focused on radio traffic so Kenan went to his office and pretended to dictate an important message to his secretary the American radio Tech switched on their equipment and picked up the signal almost immediately and it was coming from something

very close by it's coming from inside the house exactly a few minutes later they triangulated the Signal and found the source hanging right there on the wall it was the thing so you remember my name now do you during those seven years the thing gathered top secret information from some very high level guests including General Eisenhower White House staff and a dozen congressmen a member of the Soviet team that monitored the spazo house later said the thing allowed the KGB to get specific and very very important information which gave us Certain advantages in the prediction

and performances of world politics in the difficult period of the Cold War that night a radio technician slept with the thing under his pillow just in case the KGB tried to retrieve it the next day it was sent to Washington to be studied and what did the Russians say about this oh nothing the Americans and the British didn't say a word for years no what did they do with it they reverse engineered it to use on the Soviets yeah I saw that Coming whatever ever information the thing provided to the Russians it eventually came back

to bite them in May 1960 an American U2 spy plane was shot down over Soviet airspace a few weeks later at a un National Security Council meeting the Soviets accused the United States of spying and drafted a resolution that would have the UN officially condemn the US call the violation of Soviet airspace an aggressive act and force American Flights to stop so for 3 Days the Soviets presented arguments attacking the US the United States was accused of warmongering being an untrustworthy nation and threatening World Peace the Soviets argued that countries who spied on each other

should be condemned and Espionage and surveillance are considered acts of aggression right right right right right the Americans quietly took the punishment then on day four when it was finally time for the US To present its rebuttal it simply brought out the thing Ambassador large counter his repeated denials of Soviet spy activities with a concrete and dramatic example he tells how the Soviet planted a listening device in America's Moscow Embassy concealed inside a wooden carving of the Great Seal presented as a gift by the Russians the thing was top secret for almost 10 years but

now the entire world was shown spying goes both ways i' open it Up and here is the uh here is the clandestine listening device uh you can see the the antenna in the area and was right under the beak the UN voted against the Soviet resolution 7 to and now thanks to a wooden carving delivered by children as a gift of peace and friendship the cold war was in full swing and nuclear war seemed more likely than [Music] ever when the helicopter rescue team Arrived at the deff pass in February 1959 the nine missing hikers

had been dead for weeks the more the investigators tried to piece together what happened the more the story didn't seem to add up their tent had been cut open from the inside and abandoned but there was no sign of a struggle over a half mile away two victims were almost completely naked though temperatures were 30 below zero that night other bodies were found even Farther away two had fractured skulls two more had major chest injuries one was missing his eyes and another was missing her tongue and reports show that two of the hikers had been

exposed to unusually high amounts of radiation Soviet inves tigators listed the cause of death as a compelling natural force and closed the case a few weeks later the de of pass incident has been a mystery for over 60 years and theories include a military coverup a KGB Operation gone wrong a Bigfoot attack and of course aliens now one researcher believes he knows what happened that night others are not so sure let's find out [Music] why in the winter of 1959 nine Russian adventurers were on a 200m CrossCountry hiking Expedition making their way through the Siberian

Wilderness this was difficult terrain but the seven men and two women were young fit and highly Experienced skiers and mountain climbers they were led by 23-year-old Igor diatloff a promising student studying engineering at the Euro Polytechnic Institute a few others in the group were classmates of his at UPI now before he left theof told his friends back home that he would send a telegram as soon as the team returned well that letter was never sent and none of the group was ever seen alive again the hikers documented everything they kept journals And they took tons

of pictures they took selfies tons of them 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 that day the group was making its way through de of 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 the decreasing visibility pushed the group off course and they accidentally ended up on the Side of a mountain called katako by the Region's indigenous people Cola kolats katako right we

got a translation dead Mountain oh boy this is a photo of the group in deep snow with almost zero visibility digging out a platform for their tent this is the last photo of them alive the final entry in the group's diary reads it is difficult to imagine such a on the ridge with shrill howling wind hundreds of kilometers away from human settlements and then Nothing 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 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 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 food clothes gear were still neatly stacked inside the tent a meal had been set up but the food was untouched and there were no bodies the next day nine sets of footprints were found leading down the

mountain into the woods the tracks were evenly spaced and they weren't deep and this told investigators that the group was moving calmly and orderly they weren't scrambling they weren't running and they Weren't fighting but the tracks were odd they weren't made with boots the tracks were made by people wearing socks or barefoot in subzero temperatures Searchers then came across a cedar tree where they found the remains of a campfire and near the fire buried in the snow were the first two victims of the outl pass dorenko and cran shenko they were almost naked wearing only

underwear though temperatures were 30° below zero that night crana shenko 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 the tree limbs above the fire were broken over 5 MERS above the ground and pieces of Flesh were found in the tree bark and scraps of clothing were found in the branches now why would they climb a tree was visibility so poor that they were looking for a way back to the tent were they

Gathering wood for the fire or were They trying to get away from something Rescuers expanded the search area and about 200 ft away they found three more bodies including Igor deav they were positioned as if they were running away from the tree trying to get back to the tent 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 but this doesn't explain why dorenko 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 it didn't explain the burns the Fay limbs or why someone would bite off a chunk of their own hand the second set of bodies was also confusing 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 the only explanation at this Point that despite being highly experienced in outdoor winter survival they had suddenly fled into to the dark and the cold without adequate preparation

and we frantically trying to make do before succumbing to the elements that's only five what well that's only five out of nine hikers did they find the out of four they did but not until months later and when those bodies were discovered the story gets even Stranger four bodies were still missing for months but in May when the snow began to melt a local Hunter found a makeshift snow Den in the woods about 250 ft from the cedar tree a deep hole was cut in the snow and the floor was made of branches pieces of

clothing were found scattered around the den 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 ft of snow 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 three of the bodies had severe injuries crushed body cavities broken ribs and internal hemorrhaging one had a skull fracture so severe the foul play was eliminated because

no human could generate the kind of force to create This level of damage instead the injuries were consistent with being in a car crash or near the explosion of a bomb but no soft tissue damage was found and no external injuries a careful inventory of clothing recovered showed that some of the victims were wearing clothes taken or cut off the body of the others that died before them Avalanche well that's what they originally thought but an avalanche would have flattened the whole campsite 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 and people who die of avalanches usually asphyxiate but postmortem analysis shows no sign of this they either died from injuries or died of cold but either way when they died they were still breathing the local say that the ol of pass doesn't get Avalanches 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 Avalanches don't do that they don't and maybe the strangest detail of all two of the hiker's clothing had significant levels of radiation they they were radioactive yep now despite all of the strange evidence the case went nowhere due to what was called an absence of a guilty party the investigation was closed a few Weeks later the final conclusion was that the cause of death was an unknown compelling Force which the hikers were unable to overcome and that was it that was it but the victim's families weren't satisfied so they started demanding

answers from the Soviet government how did the Soviets respond well all files journals and photographs were classified the area was made off limits and all evidence collected was destroyed of course but there's no shortage of Theories about what happened no 10 we we can theories about what happened at the de of pass there are some good ones I'll cover a few but I'll link to the full list in the description the first theory is aliens be patient sorry sorry go go ahead remember that a lot of the hikers were students at the Euro Polytechnic Institute

or connected with UPI in some way well UPI was constantly turning out recruits for nuclear research and the Soviet military oo I like where this is Going first Theory the KGB connection Alex Rakin wrote a book called The out of pass where he claimed that three of the hikers were KGB agents on a mission to uncover a secret cell of CIA operatives 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 now Rakin says that two or three of the

hikers were hired by the KGB to deliver radioactive tainted Clothing to CIA agents and the oldest member of the group at age 37 seman zarof joined the group at the last minute SS he was a combat veteran with years of military service who eventually went to work for the nkvd or the Soviet Secret Police and before transferring to the physics department at UPI he worked in Moscow at a top secret scientific facility known as PO Box 3394 and Yuri cranes shenko worked at PO Box 44/10 where a massive nuclear accident Occurred in 1957 Alexi Rakin

is convinced that this group was not gathered by accident the histories of at least three of the hikers show a lot of KGB connection 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 at the beginning of the journey all the hikers had cameras and journals we saw them but when kevo's body was discovered his Journal and Camera were missing and he was one of the suspected spies now Theory number two like who's this guy [Music]

W in 2014 the Discovery Channel released a documentary called Russian Yeti the killer lives and they used the deff incident to make their case that the hikers had Disturbed the natural habitat of a Yeti and they used this photo as evidence that the doc went on to say That the yeti was the reason the bodies were missing eyes and a tongue now this photo has been authenticated it's absolutely real but it doesn't look much like a Bigfoot to me and that documentary was well it was garbage so next Theory aliens ball lightning close enough 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 de himself had experimented with telescopes and was Interested in space flight and astronomy the local mancy people had reported seeing glowing golden orbs in the sky that same night and another hiking group camping 50 km away also reported or floating orbs in the exact same place at the exact same time there even recovered photos from one of the cameras that shows some type of lights in the sky Lev ivanof

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 he also reported that the Treetops in the area were burned above a certain height 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 he insisted the deaths were due to heat Rays or Balls of Fire associated with orbs yes another Scientific theory is

that a rare weather event generated infrasound that caused the hikers to suddenly become disoriented and anxious Donnie AER who spent 5 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 is proven to induce irrational fear in humans we have a video about this on the channel I'll link below nice plug now if Hit with infrasound the group might have fled the tent and Fallen victim to the cold before they realized what was happening 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 carbon monoxide poisoning is another theory or a bad mushroom trip though toxicology reports discount those theories if you believe the reports if you believe the Reports nobody has been able to come up with a definitive answer that is until this year two scientists think they've solved the mystery of De of pass and they use the movie Frozen to prove their Theory did you just say they use frozen yeah

the Disney movie that's right Let It Go Let It Go that one yeah that one no this I got to 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 Johan gome a scientist who study snow phenomena was watching the movie Frozen when it go let it go I'm a fish and I like water let it go you done I love that movie 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 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 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 top book slides now an avalanche only requires a 20° slope to trigger it now the DI of Camp was built at

23° G 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 a 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 yeah but what about all the you know the weird stuff well G says we say that this is possible that such a slab Avalanche could have Them the way they were

injured everything that happened after the Avalanche is out of the scope of our paper inconvenient though it wasn't snowing that night the hikers did have journal entries about howling winds these were most likely catabatic winds and catabatic 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 so the Hikers cut their Camp into the snow which Disturbed the slab then catabatic winds started blowing 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 Now using the Disney Snow animation it was shown that just a small Avalanche maybe 5x5 M 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 so given this new information can we piece together what happened to Deo and his friends that night I think we can 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 what why leave all this stuff in the tent and and then go out in the cold And his skibbies 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 fight fire 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 the two most poorly dressed were probably the first to go the burn 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 creen shenko losing feeling and probably becoming Delirious bites his hand to test for sensation and he dies within an hour seven survivors cut the clothes away from their friends and dress themselves in whatever they can scavenge from the bodies three of the group

including theatl 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 the remaining four decide to build a snow shelter for the night 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 the stream Cuts away the snow above their shelter causing the roof to collapse they're thrown onto the Rocky Streambed and buried under 10 or 15

ft of snow now in general snow weighs about 20 lb per cubic foot a little over a pound per inch of depth a section of snow that's 20 ft by 20 ft with a depth of 10 ft that weighs between 85,000 and 100,000 lb that's 50 tons falling on you 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 3 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 I 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 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 the textbook wrong decision in an avalanche is to stay put unfortunately that wrong decision might have saved their [Music]

lives now today de 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 people say prayers at the stream and leave flowers under the cedar tree Where its broken branches are still visible and just before the team embarked on their Adventure Cen shenko wrote a poem addressing the entire group here's wishing you camps pitched on mounts afar routs to hike over ranges Untamed packs that as ever rest lightly on your backs and whether that smiles upon your quest and let your
