Paid for by Virginians for fair elections. I want you to close your eyes for a second.

Assuming you aren't driving. Right, yeah. Assuming you aren't behind the wheel of a car

or operating heavy machinery right now. Please don't do that. Yeah, safety first.

But if you can really put yourself in this scene, imagine you were standing on the edge of the ocean

at the absolute brink of a continent. Mm-hmm. You're looking at the endless churning water.

You can feel the cold salt spray whipping against your face, the roar of the surf,

drowning out everything else. It's a powerful image. It is. And it looks completely wild untamed

and above all permanent. But what if I told you that beneath those crashing waves?

Hidden in the dark. Exactly. Hidden in the crushing lightless depths

lie the shattered remnants of an advanced extraterrestrial civilization. It's a staggering thought

to entertain. Right. A civilization that was building megalithic structures, engineering

and possible alloys and mapping the stars with pinpoint precision long before we even had a

crude written history to record their existence. Long before we supposedly invented the wheel.

Yeah. Imagine that humanity's entire recorded past is just a localized case of collective amnesia.

We simply forgot. We're walking around with a tiny fragmented memory of a much larger,

much stranger story that we've simply forgotten, or perhaps been forced to forget.

Welcome to Thrilling Threads.

Build to be here. I am incredibly excited you are taking this journey with us today because

the territory we are about to cover is going to challenge the very foundation of how you view the

world. Our mission in this exploration is nothing short of unraveling the ancient tangled threads

of lost pre-flood civilizations. The big ones. Atlantis, Lemuria, Moonu. Exactly. And more than

just the geography, we are going squarely after the extraterrestrial architects who purportedly built

them. We have an absolutely massive stack of sources sitting on the table between us today.

A literal mountain of data. Yeah. We are pulling from ancient religious texts,

deeply guarded indigenous oral histories, modern whistleblower accounts and astonishing underwater

archaeological discoveries that are currently baffling mainstream science.

It is a profound pleasure to be here to unpack this with you. Setting the tone for our exploration

today requires a specific kind of analytical lens. Which is crucial. Right. We have to acknowledge

right out of the gate that mainstream history overwhelmingly labels these stories as mere myths.

Just fairy tales. Exactly. The Orthodox academic view is that these are just allegories or morality

tales invented by primitive minds trying to explain a scary, unpredictable world.

They see a flood myth and say, well, early humans live by rivers, rivers flood, so they wrote a

scary story about a big flood. Which always felt a little condescending to me. It is deeply condescending

and it completely ignores the data. Our goal today is not to blindly accept fairy tales,

but to look at the striking undeniable patterns across completely disconnected continents.

The physical proof. Yes. The geological anomalies that utterly defy conventional timelines,

and the concrete physical, metallurgical evidence that strongly suggests we are not the first

highly advanced civilization to walk on this planet. And when you synthesize this data objectively,

a completely different narrative emerges. One that replaces comforting myth with a highly

disruptive, forgotten reality. Exactly. And that is why I'm asking you, the listener, to simply

keep an open mind today. Just for the next hour. Suspend your disbelief just for the duration of

this exploration. Because I promise you, by the time we reach the end of this conversation,

the way you look at a mountain range, the way you stare out at the ocean, and even the way you

think about your own genetic and cultural origins will be forever changed. Okay. Let's unpack this.

Let's do it. We're starting with something that is completely ubiquitous across human history,

the global flood narrative. It is the ultimate historical anchor point. Yeah, most of us who grew up in

the West are highly familiar with the Genesis account of the flood. No way in the ark. Right.

Chapter six, verse nine, you find the story of Noah. The earth has become corrupt. The divine

hits the reset button with a massive deluge and a tiny fraction of life is preserved to start over.

Which is a profound story on its own. It is. But if that were the only text in the world that

mentioned it, you could write it off as localized folklore. But the plot thickens exponentially

when you travel over to ancient Mesopotamia and read the epic of Gilgamesh. Which significantly predates

the Hebrew Bible, it should be noted. Exactly. In Gilgamesh, you have a council of gods

making a deliberate, calculated decision to bring a cataclysmic flood upon the earth.

The hero, Hutnapishtim, is told to build a boat to survive. The parallels are undenoyable.

And it doesn't stop there. You cross the Mediterranean over to Egypt and look at the Edfu creation

texts. Fascinating documents. Incredibly specific inscriptions found on the walls of the temple of

Edfu. They speak of an antiteluvian meaning pre-flood civilization of builder gods.

Gods who lived on an island of fire. Right. An island of fire that was completely wiped out by water,

leaving only a few survivors to travel the world and restart civilization. And if that isn't

enough, you travel all the way across the globe to the Andes in South America. To the Inca traditions.

Exactly. The tradition of the god Virokoccia. He also brought about a great flood to destroy

a race of giants he had created because they had become unruly and failed to follow his laws.

What's fascinating here is the specific mechanism of destruction coupled with the moral framework.

It's always about a moral failing. Right. It's not just that it rained a lot. The statistical

improbability of completely isolated cultures. Cultures separated by vast oceans and thousands of

years independently inventing the exact same cataclysmic narrative is staggering.

I always think about it like this for you listening. Imagine you have five friends

who absolutely do not know each other. Complete stranger. Yeah. They live in different cities,

have different backgrounds, never spoken a word to one another. If every single one of those five

friends comes to you and tells you the exact same highly specific, incredibly detailed story

about a traumatic event that happened downtown. You believe them. At what point do you stop calling

it a rumor or a coincidence and start accepting that this event actually took place? That is a

phenomenal analogy. In a court of law, we call that corroborating testimony. Right. And this

brings us directly to the foundational text for the Atlantis narrative, which operates as

the keystone for this entire theory. Plato. Yes. Around 360 BC, the Greek philosopher Plato wrote two

very famous dialogues, the Tameis and the Credius. Now, mainstream academics love to say Plato is

just weaving a fictional parable to illustrate his ideal republic. Yeah. But in these texts,

Plato explicitly states that this information is historical fact. He says it was passed down to

the Greek statesman Solon from high ranking Egyptian priests at sites. He practically cites his

sources. He does. These priests claimed that Atlantis was a highly advanced civilization that

existed 9,000 years before their time, which is a very specific number. It is. Now, if we do the math,

Solon was an Egypt around 600 BC, add 9,000 years to that, and it places the destruction of Atlantis

right around 9,600 BC. So roughly 11,600 years ago. Highly suspicious, because it aligns

perfectly with modern geological evidence, specifically a period known as meltwater pulse 1b.

Right. The end of the ice age. Exactly. A time of massive, rapid, global sea level rise

at the abrupt end of the Younger Dryas climate anomaly. Plato nailed the exact geological timeline

of the ice caps melting thousands of years before modern geology existed. That is wild to think

about. But the sources provide an even more starling detail. Plato claimed that Atlantis was

founded and governed by the Greek god Poseidon. And based on the synthesis of our sources today,

we had to look at Poseidon not as a mythical sea god holding a magical three-pronged pitchfork.

But as an actual physical extraterrestrial ruler. Yes, an extraterrestrial architect who

established a sophisticated colony on Earth. It fundamentally changes how you read the text.

When you view Poseidon as an extraterrestrial ruler, the temples Plato describes

stop being religious monuments. They become infrastructure. Exactly. They suddenly sound like

administrative centers or technological hubs. But wait, I want to play devil's advocate for a second.

Couldn't the Greeks just be projecting their own pantheon onto an older story?

If we connect this to the bigger picture, we see the exact same god ruler dynamic globally.

Let's bring in the Native American connection. Because this is where the synchronicity becomes

undeniable. Let's do it. Look at the oral traditions of the Hopi and the Pueblo

peoples in the American Southwest. They talk extensively about the ending of the third world.

Right. And we're currently in the fourth world according to them.

Correct. According to their histories, the previous world was destroyed by a massive watery

cataclysm. But why was it destroyed? The Hopi elders state that humanity had wandered away from

spiritual truths and fallen deeply into greed and materialism. And what did Plato say about

Atlantis? He wrote that the Atlanteans were a divine race that eventually became diluted with

human nature. They lost their way. They became greedy, materialistic and corrupt, which directly

provoked their watery destruction. The Hopi and Plato, separated by an ocean and thousands of years,

are citing the exact same moral decay as the trigger for the exact same physical cataclysm.

And if we look further south to the Aztec Empire, we find another massive piece of the puzzle.

The Aztecs held a deep central legend about their ancestral homeland, a place called Aslan.

I was tripped out over the phonetic similarity there. Aslan, Atlantis. It is hard to ignore.

According to their traditions, Aslan was an island paradise situated in the middle of a great

lake or ocean. When the Aztecs built their spectacular capital city to Noctalyn.

Which lies beneath modern day Mexico City, for you listening.

Right. They didn't just build a city, they built a deliberate replica of Aslan.

They engineered their capital artificially on an island in the middle of Lake Texcoco,

utilizing massive, complex causeways to connect it to the mainland.

Mimicking Plato's concentric circles.

They purposefully mirrored the island structure that Plato described for Atlantis.

And just like Atlantis was ruled by the physical presence of Poseidon,

Aslan and Tenetitlin were said to be guided by their god Weetzio Popli.

But furthermore, our sources indicate that in these ancient societies,

highly advanced technology, perhaps the very gifts from these extraterrestrial rulers,

was strictly hidden from the general public.

Kept completely secret.

It was hoarded by an elite ruling class of priests and royals who kept themselves

entirely separated from the common people.

That hoarding of technology is such a profound concept to think about.

Especially for you listening to this right now in our modern era,

think about the psychological implications of an advanced technology,

maybe unlimited free energy, maybe advanced metallurgy or cellular regeneration,

being deliberately withheld from the public by a ruling class.

It's a terrifying thought.

It mirrors our absolute deepest modern societal anxieties, doesn't it?

Yeah.

The fear that the people at the very top of the pyramid

have access to knowledge and tools that could cure diseases or end poverty,

but they keep it classified to maintain control and leverage.

Power dynamics rarely change.

It makes you wonder if human nature, or perhaps the nature of those ruling over us,

hasn't changed a single bit in 12,000 years.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have.

Exactly.

And speaking of this hidden advanced technology,

let's move out of the ancient texts and into hard physical evidence.

My name's Mackenzie and I started to go fund me for the adoptive mother

of a nonverbal autistic child.

The mother had lost her job because she wasn't able to find out what care

for this autistic child.

So she really needed some help with living expenses, paying some back bills.

So I launched a GoFundMe to help support them during this crisis.

And we raised about $10,000 within just a couple of months.

I think that the surprising thing was by telling a clear story

and just like really being very clear about what we needed.

We have some really generous donations from people who are really moved

by the situation that this family was struggling with.

Let's talk about the artifacts of the gods,

specifically the mystery of Oriculcom.

This is an incredible case.

In 2015, a team of marine archaeologists was exploring a 2600 year old shipwreck

off the southern coast of Sicily.

Down in the wreckage of this ancient vessel,

half buried in the sand, they discovered a cache of 39 metal ingots.

Just sitting there on the ocean floor.

Right. When they brought these ingots to the surface and tested them,

the archaeological community was stunned.

The ingots were identified as Oriculcom.

This was the legendary, practically mythical metal

that Plato specifically wrote about in his descriptions of Atlantis.

This discovery is a massive paradigm shift.

For centuries, mainstream historians argued that Oriculcom was just a fictional element.

A poetic flourish Plato invented to make his story sound more grandiose and wealthy.

Just a mate of fantasy metal.

But here it is, physically sitting on a laboratory table in the 21st century.

Let's look at the metallurgical breakdown of these recovered ingots,

because the science here is critical.

The lab analysis showed that this Oriculcom is an alloy consisting of roughly 80% copper and 20% zinc,

with trace amounts of lead and iron.

Wait, copper and zinc? Isn't that just brass?

Are you telling me the mythical glowing metal of the gods is basically the same stuff my cheap

doorknobs are made of?

It sounds incredibly underwhelming when you put it like that.

I mean, it does.

But here is the catch that mainstream historians are sweating over.

You can't just walk into a cave and mine a chunk of metallic zinc.

It doesn't natively exist in that state on Earth.

Here's where it gets really interesting, because the chemistry required here is mind-blowing.

In nature, zinc primarily exists as a mineral-called sphelerite.

A zinc sulfur complex.

Right.

To get usable zinc out of sphelerite, you have to subject the ore to a highly-sophisticated

chemical and thermal process.

The cementation process, to be exact.

Exactly.

You have to roast the sphelerite at extremely high temperatures.

To burn off the sulfur is sulfur dioxide.

And by the way, sulfur dioxide is highly toxic.

Very toxic.

If you don't know what you're doing, you will literally gas yourself to death.

Then you have to capture the vaporized zinc.

This is the craziest part.

Zinc boils and turns into a gas at about 907 degrees Celsius.

The copper.

Copper doesn't melt until about 1085 degrees Celsius.

So if you just throw copper and zinc ore into a fire together,

the zinc completely evaporates into thin air before the copper even turns liquid.

It just vanishes.

You need specialized sealed crucibles, precise temperature control,

and an understanding of thermal dynamics and chemistry that mainstream historians

flat out insist did not exist in the ancient world.

They claim that level of technological sophistication was completely absent prior to the modern era.

And yet there are the 39 ingots from a 2600-year-old shipwreck

proving that someone somehow possessed that knowledge.

Exactly.

The sheer chemical sophistication required to smelt sphelerite into pure zinc

and then perfectly alloy it with copper at an 80-20 ratio without the zinc flashing off as a gas

is a glaring anachronism.

It's an artifact out of time.

It shouldn't exist.

It really shouldn't.

Now let's look at how Plato described this metal.

He did not for a recipe.

He didn't detail a mining operation.

He described or a calcum as being of unknown origin.

Unknown origin.

He stated that the great temple of Poseidon in the center of Atlantis

flashed with the red glowing light of this copper tinted metal

and that it was a substance set to physically resonate with the divine.

Wow.

If we view this through the lens of the ancient astronaut fairy,

a very clear picture emerges.

Early humans did not spontaneously develop the complex thermodynamics required to process

sphelerite.

They were directly taught the process of advanced metallurgy by extraterrestrial visitors.

It was handed down to them.

These visitors took raw primitive populations and bootstrapped their technological evolution,

giving them the exact formulas, the crucible designs,

and the techniques needed to create these impossible alloys.

I love thinking about this from a practical standpoint.

Let's do a thought experiment.

Imagine you, a modern person sitting there listening to this,

with all your basic knowledge of how the world works.

Suddenly traveled back in time, 5,000 years,

to a primitive bronze age society.

Imagine you knew the exact process to take a weird crumbly rock like sphelerite.

He did it in a sealed clay pot, capture the invisible vapors,

and create a shining, incorruptible metal that flashes red in the sun.

To them.

To those ancient people, you wouldn't just be a clever engineer.

You would be a god.

Your chemistry would be perceived as literal magic, a divine gift,

bestowed upon mortals.

That is exactly what our sources are suggesting happen.

Deciding in his extraterrestrial cohort didn't just rule, they educated.

They handed down the blueprints for civilization.

But as we know from the myths, something went terribly wrong.

That advanced civilization didn't survive.

Which logically forces us to ask,

if a global, technologically supreme society was wiped out,

where is the physical debris?

We found the ingots in Sicily, sure,

but where are the megacities?

You can't just misplace an entire continent.

Unless, of course, it's hiding in plain sight under a mile of ice.

Yeah.

Which brings us to a part of the globe that is

almost completely alien to us today, the frozen continent of Antarctica.

Antarctica is perhaps the greatest terrestrial mystery we have left.

It is massive.

It is larger than Europe, completely covered in ice that averages over a mile thick,

and virtually inaccessible to the general public.

When we look at the research of individuals like Michael Salla and David Childress,

a compelling hypothesis emerges regarding this desolate ice sheet.

That it wasn't always frozen.

Exactly.

They proposed that Antarctica wasn't always a frozen wasteland.

In fact, they suggest it was the site of a flourishing,

extraterrestrial colony,

perhaps even the true location of Atlantis itself.

But how does a tropical or temperate paradise become a frozen desert?

The mechanism for that brings us to the pole shift theory,

originally championed by researchers like Charles Habgood.

This is fascinating stuff.

To visualize this, imagine the Earth's crusts,

the continents and ocean floors as the loose skin of an orange,

while the inside of the Earth is the fruit.

OK, I'm visualizing the orange.

The pole shift theory posits that approximately 13,000 years ago,

coinciding exactly with the timeline of Plato's Atlantis destruction

and the end of the last ice age,

the Earth experienced a catastrophic sudden shift.

The entire outer crust detached and slid over the molten mantle.

So the skin of the orange spins, but the inside stays put?

Right.

This event physically moved the landmass of Antarctica,

which may have been sitting in a temperate zone much further north,

directly into the polar region where the South Pole currently sits.

Which means it would freeze incredibly fast.

Instantaneous cataclysmic climate change,

a literal flash freezing of an entire advanced civilization,

preserving their megalithic structures,

their biological remains,

and their advanced technology under miles of solid ice.

It is absolutely mind-bending to think that right now,

under miles of pristine white ice,

there could be the spires and temples

of a 13,000-year-old alien city perfectly preserved

like a prehistoric fly in amber.

It's a haunting image.

And what's even crazier is the modern implication of this.

We have modern whistleblowers coming forward right now,

claiming that the world's most powerful governments

aren't just down in Antarctica studying penguins

and taking ice-core samples to measure ancient carbon dioxide levels.

That's just the cover story.

According to these whistleblowers,

there is a massive, highly classified cover-up happening.

They argue that military coalitions are actively excavating

these buried ancient artifacts that are uncovering these ancient cities,

and in the most shocking claims of all,

they are actively working with extraterrestrial beings

in hidden, subterranean and Antarctic bases today.

It sounds like science fiction,

but when you lay it alongside the ancient texts,

the abrupt geological anomalies

and the massive, heavily-funded military presence down there,

it starts to look like the missing piece of the puzzle.

It really does.

And this brings us to one of the most fascinating

enigmatic figures in American history, Edgar Case.

The Sleeping Prophet?

Yes. If you aren't familiar with him,

Case lived from 1877 to 1945

and is widely considered America's greatest psychic.

The man documented over 14,000 psychic readings

in his lifetime. His process was fascinating.

Very unique methodology.

He would loosen his tie, take off his shoes, lie down on a couch,

and go into a deep, self-induced sleep state.

While in this trance,

he would speak in a completely different cadence,

often diagnosing complex medical illnesses

for people he had never met,

located hundreds of miles away.

And with startling accuracy.

But most importantly for our exploration today,

he began to recount the hidden history of the human race.

Case's readings are an absolute treasure trove

of anomalous historical data.

While in these deep trance states,

Case made a wild profound assertion regarding the concept of reincarnation.

This part always gives me chills.

He claimed that the souls of the people who inhabited Atlantis,

the engineers, the scientists, the philosophers who experienced

that great cataclysm first hand,

were mass reincarnating in the 20th century as the people of America.

Wait, so he was saying that the technological boom of the 1900s

was basically Atlantean souls picking up where they left off?

Exactly. He suggested that the rapid advancement of society,

the invention of flight, the splitting of the atom,

the creation of modern computing,

and even the inherent geopolitical struggles of modern America,

were a direct, karmic carryover

from the lost civilization of Atlantis.

That's incredible.

Humanity was essentially getting a second chance

to wield advanced technology without falling into the destructive trap

of materialism and hubris that ruined them the first time.

Let's hope we do better this time around.

Indeed, but case didn't just offer philosophical musings about karma,

he offered highly specific geographical predictions.

He prophesied the existence of a hidden hall of records,

a physical repository containing the entire documented history,

technology, and wisdom of the Atlantean civilization.

And he said there wasn't just one, right? He said there were three.

Correct.

He stated that this hall of records was split into three locations

to ensure it's survival.

One is located under the right paw of the Great Sphinx in Egypt,

which is wild because modern radar has found something there.

Yes, modern seismic ground penetrating radar

has indeed detected a large rectangular void under the paw,

though the Egyptian antiquities authorities strictly

forbid excavation.

Dominantly.

Very.

The second location was supposedly buried deep in the jungles

of the Yucatan Peninsula,

and the third was said to be submerged

underwater in the Bahamas,

specifically near Bimini or Andrus Island.

And this is where the psychic predictions

collide violently with modern physical discovery.

Let's fast forward to the year 2003.

The Association for Research and Enlightenment,

which is the foundation dedicated to studying and preserving

Casey's work, is conducting organized searches

off the coast of Andrus Island in the Bahamas.

Following his exact coordinates,

they are literally out on boats,

following Casey's 70-year-old psychic treasure map.

And what do they find?

Beneath the crystal clear waters,

marine archaeologists discovered a massive artificial platform

of perfectly rectangular, square-cut stones.

It's breathtaking to see the photos.

We are talking about magnetic architecture stretching

for several hundred yards across the ocean floor.

The blocks are massive,

perfectly fitted together without mortar.

When they analyze the site,

all geological and archaeological indications

pointed to the structure dating back 11,000 to 12,000 years ago.

Which is the exact end of the last ice age?

The exact timeline of Plato's Atlantis

and the exact location case predicted.

You have to sit back and marvel at that.

You have a photographer from Kentucky in the 1930s

going to sleep on his couch,

pointing to a random spot in the ocean.

And 70 years later,

we find a megalithic platform

right where he said it would be.

This raises an important question.

How did that massive stone platform end up

hundreds of feet underwater?

Casey was what we call a cataclysmist.

In his readings, he consistently warned about earth changes,

violent pole shifts,

and rapid geological upheavals

that wiped out these ancient civilizations.

Just like the orange peel.

Exactly.

He detailed how a celestial event even something

as seemingly minor as a grazing asteroid

that doesn't directly impact the earth

but passes close enough for its gravitational pull

to interact with our planet

could alter the earth's tilt axis.

So it doesn't even have to hit us.

It just has to fly by and tug on us.

Exactly.

If the axis shifts even a few degrees,

the equatorial bulge of water on our planet

violently redistributes.

You would have massive,

continent drowning tsunami's miles high,

instant climate change,

and the literal sinking of land masses,

while others are pushed upward by the tectonic stress.

That's terrifying.

It forces us to reflect on the immense fragility

of our current world.

We build our massive cities on the coasts.

New York, Tokyo, London,

assuming the oceans are static.

The evidence from the Bahamas

and Casey's consistent warnings

suggests that the map of the earth

is far more volatile and fluid

than we dare to admit.

That is a terrifying,

yet completely awe-inspiring thought.

Continents don't just stay put.

They rise and they sink.

Too fast, Trevor, too fast.

And to really drive that point home,

we are going to leave the Atlantic and shift our map

to the largest body of water on the planet.

The Pacific Ocean.

That's a grand expanse.

To give you an idea of the scale here,

the Pacific covers over 63 million square miles.

It is so incomprehensibly massive

that you could fit all the land masses on earth

inside it, every continent, every island.

And still have enough room left over

to fit another continent the size of Africa.

It's mostly unexplored, too.

Completely.

And according to a vast array of sources

right in the middle of this vast emptiness,

one set of continent known as Lemuria or Mu.

The Pacific is the perfect place

to hide a sunken world.

Researchers like David Childress

have compiled immense amounts of data,

suggesting that Mu was a sprawling land

mass that stretched all the way from Hawaii

in the north down to East Island in the southeast

and all the way across to Micronesia in the West.

A massive empire.

This was an empire of staggering proportions

that supposedly sank beneath the waves

roughly 50,000 years ago.

What's incredible is when you talk to the native Hawaiian people,

they're deeply held oral traditions.

Don't talk about evolving slowly from cavemen.

No, they don't.

They talk about Kapoe o Kalani,

which translates to the people of the heaven.

They explicitly state that they're original ancestors.

The original settlers of this lost continent of Mu

were extraterrestrials who came down

from the Pleiades star cluster.

It's vital that we don't dismiss

these indigenous oral traditions

as mere folklore or campfire stories.

They are ancestral records,

meticulously passed down through generations.

And when we look for physical corroboration

of these records in the Pacific,

we find structures that simply defy

conventional explanation.

Like Micronesia.

Yes.

Take Nanmadaal, located on the island of Pompeii in Micronesia.

This is a partially submerged ancient city

constructed from literally millions

of massive basalt columns.

And these aren't pebbles.

These are massive hexagonal logs

of solid volcanic rock, right?

Exactly.

Some way between five and 50 tons each.

50 tons.

The sheer logistics of moving

and stacking millions of these heavy basalt logs

to build a city directly on top of a coral reef

is an engineering nightmare,

even by today's standards.

I can't even imagine trying to move that on land,

let alone over a reef.

Furthermore, the area is known

for bizarre magnetic anomalies

that disrupt compasses.

Yet, there it sets heavily submerged,

leading many researchers to ask if Nanmadaal

isn't just an isolated island settlement,

but rather the highest mountain peaks,

the last surviving visible tips

of the sunken continent of Mu.

And Nanmadaal isn't an isolated anomaly

in the Pacific.

Let's jump to September 1997.

We are at Yonaguni Island,

which is the southernmost

of the Ryukyu Islands in Japan.

This is one of my favorite discoveries.

It's amazing.

is looking for a good spot

to observe hammerhead sharks.

He dies down less than 100 feet under water,

and he stumbles across something

that looks like it belongs in a sci-fi movie.

It's an immense,

megalithic stone configuration

carved directly out of the bedrock.

The sheer scale of it is hard to grasp.

We are talking about perfect 90-degree angles,

massive sheer vertical walls,

perfectly flat,

terraced platforms,

and gigantic, sweeping staircases.

The scale of it is breathtaking.

It doesn't look like it was built for normal humans.

The steps are so tall,

it looks like it was built for giants.

Right.

When images of the Yonaguni monument

hit the research community,

it ignited an absolute firestorm.

Because nature does not create

perfectly-level platforms

and sheer right-angled drop-offs

in a terraced, ziggurat formation.

To understand the true significance of Yonaguni,

we have to provide the geological context,

heavily championed by geologists like Dr. Robert Shoke.

We know for an absolute verifiable scientific fact

that during the glacial maximum

at the end of the last ice age,

around 14,000 years ago,

a massive amount of the earth's water

was locked up in polar ice caps

and continental glaciers.

Because it was so cold.

Because all that water was frozen on land,

global sea levels were as much

as 300 to 400 feet lower than they are today.

Which means Yonaguni wasn't underwater at all.

Precisely.

14,000 years ago,

the Yonaguni monument was sitting high and dry

on the coast of a much larger landmass.

For it to have been carved

by human or extraterrestrial hands,

it had to have been carved

before the ice melted in the sea's rows.

It forces the timeline backwards.

This places the creation

of the Yonaguni monument firmly

in the 10,000 to 12,000 BC range.

This completely shatters the timeline

of conventional human civilization,

which insists that humans were nothing more than primitive,

spear throwing hunter-gatherers during that era,

completely incapable of carving

megalithic stone cities out of bedrock.

It's physical proof sitting right there

on the ocean floor.

You can literally put on scuba gear and touch it.

But wait,

because we're going to go even further back in time.

Yeah.

Let's travel from Japan down to West Java

in the Nizhya to a site called Gunang Padan.

The mountain of enlightenment.

Exactly.

This place translates to the mountain of enlightenment.

It was originally discovered by Dutch explorers

back in 1914.

And for a long time,

people just thought it was a natural hill

with some ancient basalt columns scattered on top.

It looked like an old ruined graveyard.

Just a natural formation with some debris.

But in 2013,

the Indonesian government finally sponsored

a massive multi-disciplinary excavation.

And the technology they brought in

is what changed everything.

Exactly.

They didn't just dig with shovels.

They brought in ground penetrating radar,

seismic tomography, and core drawing.

Let me interject to explain seismic tomography

because it's crucial.

For you listening,

imagine putting an entire mountain inside an MRI machine.

That's a great way to put it.

Instead of using magnets,

scientists shoot sound waves deep into the earth

and measure how those waves bounce back.

It allows them to literally see

the hidden 3D structure beneath the dirt and vegetation

without lifting a single shovel.

And what they saw beneath the dirt and rubble

wasn't a natural hill at all.

It is a massive,

artificially constructed, step pyramid.

It's like a nested doll.

The top layer is a few thousand years old.

But when they carbon-dated the organic material

pulled from the deepest boreholes,

the dates came back at a staggering 20,000 years old.

That changes everything we know about human history.

20,000 years.

That makes Gunan Panang the oldest known

pyramidal structure on the face of the earth

predating the pyramids of Egypt

by well over 15,000 years.

Gunan Panang is the smoking gun

for a lost epoch of high civilization.

Geologically, we must connect this

to the concept of Sunderland.

Tell us about Sunderland.

20,000 years ago during that same

glacial maximum we discussed,

Java wasn't an island.

It was the mountainous southernmost tip

of a massive continuous subcontinent

called Sunderland

that encompassed most of modern day

Southeast Asia,

connecting Indonesia, Malaysia,

and the Philippines to the Asian mainland.

So it was all connected land.

Gunan Panang would have sat at the high elevation

of this vast fertile land mass.

Sometime around 10,000 BC

when those ice caps melted rapidly,

perhaps due to the asteroid impact

or the pole shift we discussed earlier,

the oceans rose dramatically,

flooding the lowlands of Sunderland

and turning the highest mountain peaks

into the fragmented island archipelago

of Indonesia we see today.

That is just incredible.

Gunan Panang is a survivor.

It is a physical beacon left behind

by a civilization that was drowned out of existence.

I really want to ground this in reality for you

because I know talking about sunken continents

and lost world sounds fantastical

like something at a comic book.

But let's look at hard accepted modern geology.

Did you know that in 2012

mainstream scientists mapped out dogger land?

Right in the North Sea.

Yeah, this was a huge mass of dry land

that used to connect Great Britain to mainland Europe.

Humans lived there, hunted there,

built settlements there,

and then as the ice melted,

it was completely swallowed by the North Sea.

And we found Zelandia too.

Right. In 2017,

geologists confirmed the existence of Zelandia,

a nearly submerged continent near New Zealand

that is almost the size of Australia.

Plus marine archaeologists have formally mapped

over 200 known submerged ancient cities

just in the Mediterranean Sea alone.

200.

Cotton and Ducink lands are swallowed by the sea.

It is a scientifically verified reality

of our planet's dynamic history.

The Earth is incredibly dynamic.

It is constantly erasing its own surface.

So what does this all mean?

If cotton and sink

and advanced civilizations are wiped out

by massive walls of water,

what happens to the survivors?

Where do they go?

They have to seek higher ground.

Right. To find out,

we are going to bring this exploration back state side.

We are heading to the Pacific Northwest,

specifically to the towering snow-capped peak

of Mount Shasta in Northern California.

Mount Shasta is an incredibly potent

geographical location, renowned for its esoteric

and anomalous history.

The connection to our lost civilizations

begins in 1864 when a zoologist named

Philip Schlater first proposed the existence

of the lost continent of LaMaria.

Based on animals, strangely enough.

Interestingly, he based this on the anomalous

distribution of lemur fossils found in Madagascar

in India, but not in Africa,

suggesting a sunken land bridge.

This theory was quickly embraced

and expanded upon by esoteric writers and mystics.

Like Madame H. P. Blavatsky, right?

Yes, Blavatsky, who founded the Theosophical Society,

she brought esoteric eastern philosophies to the west.

A powerful tradition emerged from these circles,

suggesting that as the continent of LaMaria

was fracturing and sinking beneath the Pacific,

a contingent of survivors possessing advanced

extraterrestrial technology managed to escape the cataclysm.

And where did they go?

The legend states that they fled to the western coast of North America

and took refuge deep inside the massive volcanic

cavern systems of Mount Shasta.

They didn't just hide.

They built a subterranean city called Tilos.

They maintained their high technology

and spiritual practices far away from the floods

and earthquakes ravaging the surface world.

And this isn't just some dusty 19th century fairy tale

that people forgot about.

The phenomenon surrounding Mount Shasta is ongoing,

heavily documented and happening right now.

You can go there today and talk to the locals.

Or look at the investigations conducted as recently

as November 2020 by researchers like William Henry

and local author Dustin Nafe.

The activity there is off the charts.

The entire area is an absolute hotspot for UFO sightings.

Bizarre magnetic anomalies that drain batteries

and encounters with tall, ethereal light beings

roaming the tree lines and flowing white robes.

And the disappearances.

Even more chilling are the numerous

completely baffling disappearances of hikers

and explorers on the mountain.

People just vanish without a trace,

leaving their gear behind.

It all paints a picture of a location

that is actively guarding a massive secret.

And that brings us to what I think is one of the most

gripping cinematic stories of this entire exploration.

You have to hear the mystery of JC Brown.

The story of JC Brown is a perfect encapsulation

of the tantalizing deeply elusive nature of this research.

In 1906, Brown is a prospector

hired by the Lord Caldery mining company in England.

His job was to prospect for gold

and the unforgiving rugged terrain

of the Sierra Nevada Mountains,

specifically around the slopes of Mount Shasta.

A tough job.

Very.

One day, while mapping a sheer rock face,

a rock slide occurred, revealing a hidden,

unnatural-looking cave entrance.

Brown investigated and claimed to have discovered

an artificial man-made tunnel

sloping deeply downward into the very heart of the mountain.

He followed this tunnel for over 11 miles into the darkness.

11 miles.

Can you imagine the claustrophobia?

It requires immense bravery.

At the end of it, he didn't find gold veins.

He described finding a massive cavernous room,

a subterranean reliquary, or a hidden temple.

What did he find inside?

Inside, he claimed to have found walls lined with tablets

inscribed in an unknown hieroglyphic language,

an arsenal of strange, unfamiliar weapons

made of a highly refined metal,

and most shockingly of all, the mummified remains of giants.

He described being standing up to 10 feet tall,

dressed in ornate robes.

Let me stop you right there,

because if I am listening to this,

I am probably thinking,

okay, this is just a tall tale from a lonely miner

who spent too much time breathing dust in a cave.

But there is physical evidence left behind in the environment

to back out that something strange was happening.

Yes, the symbols.

Brown, and other miners of that era,

marked the landscape with very specific,

strange geometric symbols carved directly into the rocks

around Mount Chasta.

These symbols weren't standard mining claims.

They were complex glyphs designed to point inward

toward hidden entrances.

It's a map.

And here is where the hairs on your arms should stand up.

These specific symbols found at Mount Chasta

are nearly identical to Mysteries' glyphs

found half-worldly way at Rinlichetto in France,

and thousands of mild east at Oak Island in Nova Scotia,

two other locations famously associated with legendary,

unrecovered hidden treasuries and ancient underground mysteries.

It's as if there is a universal underground language

marking the hiding places of the ancients.

It points to a globally connected network of hidden repositories.

And the climax of Brown's story is where it shifts

from a fascinating archaeological curiosity

to a profound, almost sinister mystery.

This is the crazy part.

After making his monumental discovery in 1906,

Brown purportedly hid the entrance,

burying it under rubble,

and kept his secret for almost 30 years.

Finally, in 1934, at the age of 79,

he resurfaced in Stockton, California.

He finally decided to talk.

He decided it was time to reveal the truth to the world.

He publicly recounted his story and successfully gathered

an expedition party of 80 enthusiastic people

scientists, journalists, and adventurers.

They gathered the necessary gear, provisioned themselves,

and set a departure date to march up Mount Chasta,

blow open the entrance,

and document this Lemurian subterranean city.

I can only imagine the excitement in Stockton that week.

It would have been electric.

On the very morning, they were scheduled to depart,

the 80 expedition members gathered in Stockton,

waiting for their guide.

But JC Brown never showed up.

He had completely vanished.

Just gone.

Law enforcement investigated, but he left no trace.

No packed bags, no signs of struggle, no ransom notes,

just gone.

He was never seen or heard from again.

Let's speculate wildly here for a moment,

because you really have to wonder what happened to him.

Imagine being one of those 80 people standing in the Stockton fog,

waiting for a man who is about to hand you the keys

to the greatest secret in the history of humanity,

only to realize he's been entirely erased from the board.

It's devastating.

Was Brown silenced by a shadow government agency

that made exactly what was inside that mountain

and wanted to keep the technology hidden?

Just like the elite ruling classes of Atlantis and Aslan.

Or, and this is the really wild thought,

did Brown get cold feet by sharing it with the world?

Did he go up to the mountain early by himself,

access the tunnel, and find a portal?

Did he rejoin them?

Did he somehow rejoin the surviving remnants of that ancient civilization?

We might never know,

but it forces you to look at every towering mountain,

every deep cave system,

and wonder who or what is looking back at us from the door.

It truly does, as we step back and synthesize

this vast array of data we've covered today.

A profoundly coherent, if unsettling, narrative takes shape.

When you look at the metallurgical impossibility

of an 80-20 copper zinc ratio in ancient Orcalcom ingots,

requiring thermal dynamics that shouldn't exist.

Right.

When you analyze the sheer,

megalistic, geometric precision of the submerged steps

at Yonaguni and the colossal 50-ton basalt columns of Namadol,

when you read identical,

Heidi-specific flood myths

separated by vast, uncrossable oceans,

you are no longer looking at coincidence.

You are looking at a fingerprint.

The definite pattern.

My core belief, born from analyzing these multiple perspectives

across thousands of years of human history,

is that they all point to one undeniable truth.

We are not the first.

Humanity, as we know it today,

is a species suffering from profound amnesia.

We are living on the ruins of a pre-recorded,

highly advanced, and likely extra-terrestrial

influence civilization that was wiped clean from the surface of the earth

by violent cataclysmic geological forces.

History is cyclical.

It operates in grand sweeping circles.

And that is the absolute, so what?

For you, the listener,

going about your daily life.

If a global society equipped with extra-terrestrial technology,

capable of engineering and possible alloys

and constructing megalithic cities out of bedrock,

could be completely wiped off the map

in a single day and night of terror

due to a cosmic event in their own hubris and materialism.

How fragile is our world?

Exactly. How fragile is our modern world?

Look around you right now.

We are entirely dependent on a delicate,

invisible digital grid.

We build our skyscrapers at a glass

and steel materials that would rust,

shatter, and completely disintegrated to dust

in a matter of centuries

if abandoned by maintenance crews.

Nature reclaims everything.

Think about the massive server farms and data centers

holding all our recorded history.

The towering cities built right on the coastlines,

the immense but ultimately delicate physical footprint

of our 21st century civilization.

If a grazing asteroid altered our tilt tomorrow,

if the ice caps melted in a sudden surge

and the pole shifted wiping our slate clean,

what would be left of us?

Very little.

In 20,000 years,

when the next cycle of civilization rises up

and begins to dig in the dirt,

what anomalous structures will they find?

Will they unearth the concrete base of the Hoover Dam

or the strange subterranean tunnels of our subway systems

and wonder what giant rates of gods built them?

Will they piece together the melted silicon

of our fragmented hard drives fail to understand what they are

and just call us a myth?

It's a sobering thought.

I want you to really mull that over.

And we want to hear from you,

what do you think is the most compelling piece of evidence

we discussed today?

Do you think the truth of our origins

is buried right now under miles of crushing ice and Antarctica?

Or is it waiting to be found behind a secret rock wall

inside Mount Shasta?

We want to hear your stand on this.
