WEBVTT - CLASSIC: Gabon's Ancient Nuclear Reactor(s) 0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:06.680 Nukes. Remember when when the only thing we really had 0:00:06.720 --> 0:00:08.200 to make fun of the president for his when he 0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:12.639 said nuclear Yeah, I remember that. I do remember that 0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:16.840 golden time. Yeah, these are these are nukes without that 0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:20.160 necessary process where you gotta spin them up, spin all 0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:23.040 the stuff up really fast for a long time. These 0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:25.520 are nukes that are just hanging out. It's not nukes. 0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:31.400 These these are materials that that are functioning as a 0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:34.839 nuclear reactor in the ground. Yeah. And also just like 0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:39.200 out of nature. And they're two billion years old. Uh 0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:41.680 and they are in Gabon, West Africa. And we'll tell 0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:45.600 you all about it. Here is this classic episode from 0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:49.120 UFOs two Ghosts and Government cover Ups. History is waled 0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:52.760 with unexplained events. You can turn back now or learn 0:00:52.840 --> 0:01:00.600 the stuff they don't want you to now. Hello, welcome 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:02.200 back to the show. My name is Matt and Don 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:05.480 Ben And right off the bat, by the way, stuff 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:07.160 they don't want you to know. You know that you 0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:09.560 clicked on the thing you're listening to it. Some people 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:13.160 have it on shuffle, you know what I mean. Yeah, 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:14.920 well guess what this is stuff they don't want you 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:17.080 to know. And right off the bat today we're going 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:20.080 to talk about the thing that I got wrong. Uh, 0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:22.800 something that I don't know why I got it wrong, 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:25.840 but I was just thinking, I think I got it wrong. 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:28.240 Uh No, I don't. I don't know that you did. 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:29.959 I think it was me because I just started rambling 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:33.160 about it. Anyway, We're talking about A D and B C. 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:37.840 And I said, I did the old thing that I 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:40.800 guess I learned somehow in church. I don't know where 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:44.600 I learned it, but the whole before Christ after death thing, 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:48.800 and that's not at all what it is. Oh okay, yeah, 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:53.200 we we know this. We heard your emails and tweets 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:56.120 and responses, and a lot of people were really courteous 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:59.720 about this. Uh. I think we just misspoke because it's 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:03.040 something that we we both knew, and when we're doing 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:06.840 a casual conversation playing with live fire, uh, some things 0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:09.400 can slip through. But Matt, go ahead and let us 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:12.120 know what it. What it stands for. Well, it means 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:16.240 Anno Domini, which is actually the year of our Lord 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:20.000 a D. When you when you use a D. So 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:23.520 my bad, you know, Matt. Honestly, I thought we would 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:25.680 get a lot more listener mail from people who are 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:29.120 angry at us because we were exploring the history of 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:32.080 the Bible. Yes, even for having that conversation, but it 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.200 didn't turn out that way, at least not yet. Maybe 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.480 in a year after it's been floating around, we'll get 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:38.880 some of that mail. Yeah, but thank you guys so 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:42.440 much for listening. And today we would like to start 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:47.760 the podcast with a story. In two, an employee at 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:51.639 a French nuclear fuel processing plant notice something weird about 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:55.359 the uranium or he was working on. All natural uranium 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.920 contains three forms with different atomic masses. There's you two 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:02.560 thirty eight, YouTube thirty four, and you two thirty five. Now, 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:06.519 the last one is the most desirable because this is 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:09.320 the one that you can use to sustain a nuclear reaction. 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.880 And typically you two thirty five makes up only about 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:17.440 point seven two percent of the ore. But the sample 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:19.959 of this guy is looking at it had point seven 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:23.600 one seven. Now it's a small amount, a small difference. 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:26.600 But this guy freaked out because there's only one way 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:32.480 that that can happen, and that's through a nuclear reaction. So, uh, 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.440 this poor guy, of course, he as you said, he 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:38.720 freaks out. He lets the scientists know, you know, hey, 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:42.400 where's this ore from? What's going on because I think 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:47.240 they have nuclear power somewhere. And the scientists trace this 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.760 sample back to a place called the Oaklow uranium deposit 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:54.120 in the highlands of Gabone or from part of the 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:59.520 mind was way way shorter of uranium two thirty five 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:02.160 than it should have been, As an article in Scientific 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:06.240 American pointed out, there were about two missing and that 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.920 is important because by way of measurement, that is enough 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:14.839 to make about a dozen nuclear bombs. Wow. Yeah, so 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:18.159 what the f is going on here? Been Yeah, that's 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:21.600 what the yeah, right right, Well, the answer comes from 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:24.479 much earlier prediction and they found as they were digging 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:27.120 around in this happened in nineteen seventy two, right, they 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:31.080 find the weird uranium. In nineteen fifty three, these two guys, 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:35.159 George weather Hill and the co author Mark Ingram, argued 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:39.440 that some uranium deposits might have once been natural versions 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:44.760 of nuclear reactors. That's crazy. So what they what they 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:48.480 postulated is that somehow a stray neutron caused this YouTube 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:50.440 thirty five to split, and then it gave off more 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:54.040 neutrons and it caused this chain reaction. Yeah. That last 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:57.640 part is from a scientists named Paul Kuroda at the 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:01.719 University of Arkansas. The are a couple of conditions, he said, 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:04.640 for this to occur, the deposit has to be at 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:07.520 least longer than two thirds of a meter, which would 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:11.480 be the length that the neutron would travel. The second 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:14.680 thing you need is enough you two thirty five. Today, 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.840 most of the concentrated deposits can't become reactors because the 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.640 U two thirty five is just too low, the concentrations 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:23.680 too low. And today it's less than one percent in 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.680 a deposit, but two billion years ago it could have 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:30.440 been around three percent, right. And next, you'll need a 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.919 neutron moderator of some sort, something that can slow the 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:37.880 neutrons given off when a nucleus splits and make them 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:40.760 more likely to hit and split other atoms. And the 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:44.080 last thing is you have to have no substantial amount 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:48.880 of boron, lithium or any other substances that would absorb 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:53.000 the atoms and halt the reaction. So this sounds like 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:57.240 a lot of stuff to have happened by chance, right, Yes, 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:00.240 it turns out this all I actually did just happen 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.440 as far as we can tell, in gabone about two 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:08.599 billion years ago. And not just once, but about sixteen times. 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.320 So physicists around the world studied this evidence. They looked 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:14.880 at these natural nuclear reactors, and they all came together 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:19.200 to share their work on this quote oaklow phenomenon at 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:22.480 a special nineteen seventy five conference in the capital of Kimbo. 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:27.000 And the fossil reactor wasn't just known for uranium that 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.200 I'd like to read quote from Scientific American. When they 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:31.440 were trying to figure out how this could happen, some 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:34.400 of the neutrons released during the fission of uranium two 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:37.720 thirty five were captured by the more abundant uranium two 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:41.080 thirty eight, which became uranium to thirty nine, and after 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:45.920 admitting two electrons, turned into plutonium to thirty nine. More 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:49.719 than two tons of this plutonium isotope were generated within 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:55.360 the oakload deposit UH. And the quote goes on, although 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:58.000 almost all of this material, which has a twenty four 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:01.560 thousand year half life, is since this appeared primarily they 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:05.120 think through natural decay. Some of the plutonium itself underwent 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:08.120 fission as it tested by the presence of its characteristic 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:12.680 vision products. The abundance of those lighter elements allowed scientists 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.760 to deduce that fission reactions must have gone on for 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:20.840 hundreds of thousands of years. So not only was this 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:25.200 a natural nuclear reactor that just sort of happened, but 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:28.160 it also just sort of happened for hundreds of thousands 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:31.360 of years. From the amount of uranium, they think that 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:35.520 it released about fifteen thousand megawatt years overall, So the 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:40.960 average power output was a little disappointing, a little less 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:45.400 than a hundred kats, but still that's enough to run 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:50.040 some toasters maybe, Yeah, and two billion years ago, toast 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:53.160 was like the main thing. Man, if you didn't have toast, 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:56.000 then who are you get out of here before anybody? 0:07:56.480 --> 0:08:01.960 Before anybody finishes that email, we know that there weren't toasters, yeah, 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:05.920 or as far as we know, right, let's get it safe. 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:09.800 So they were able to do some forensic work on 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:16.160 this by analyzing zenon uh heavy inert gas, and this 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:19.760 gas can stay imprisoned in minerals for billions of years, 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:24.040 and because it's rare, scientists can use it to detect 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:27.960 and trace these nuclear reactions, even those that occur in 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:35.720 primitive meteorites before the Solar system happened. That's uh. Hold 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:41.000 on a second, calculating understanding dope. Okay, so Ben, let's 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:44.480 get to the met to this seriously, Yeah, how did 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:47.760 this happen? Why? Why didn't when when it became this 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:52.240 more volatile version of uranium, why didn't it just explode 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:56.920 or decay further? Yeah? Yeah, since we're a family, should 0:08:56.960 --> 0:09:00.000 I guess the best way to say it is, why 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:04.920 didn't the sleeve hit the fan? Yeah? And then we 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.320 get all the rest of the uranium up into the 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:13.800 fan and then just got all the change. Yeah. Uh, 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:17.240 that's a great question. And from what we're seeing, at 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:21.160 least everything we found is that the oaklow reactors kind 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:24.960 of regulated themselves in a really neat way. The most 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:30.520 likely candidate for this regulation would be groundwater. So here's 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.080 what they think happened. They think that the nuclear chain 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:37.560 reaction was happening and it was water around to act. 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:40.760 Is that neutron moderator to slow the neutron so that 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:46.080 they can continue the reaction as the as the reactor 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:48.800 or in the reaction area maybe is a better way 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:51.920 to say. It reached the critical level or critical temperature, 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:56.000 the water boiled away, and then the chain reaction would 0:09:56.000 --> 0:10:00.360 have ceased and cooled off. Uh, to the it where 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:02.720 water could come back and then it starts again. Oh 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:06.320 that's crazy. So it was functioning as a nuclear reactor 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:09.280 the way it the way we use them now, by 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:11.480 dipping the rods into the water and then taking the 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:14.520 rods out of the water and causing the reaction. This 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:19.280 is it's crazy. Whoa man. That's weird to think about 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:21.920 that a natural process could do the same thing that 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:26.120 we spend hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars to produce. Yeah, 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:28.800 it just happened, and it but it did it over 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:35.679 a long period of time. And still that's that's mind boggling. Okay, 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:39.160 So when they're looking at the Oaklow reactor, they found 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:42.679 that it switched on for about thirty minutes then off 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:45.120 for at least two and a half hours. And they 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:48.000 see this in almost all the deposits. So not only 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:51.120 is the groundwater going over it and accounting for the 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:57.120 self regulation, it protected these reactors from destruction. And in 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.679 this way it was really effective. Not only was it 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.440 not allowing any kind of melt down or explosion during 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:05.120 these kinds of years, but it was just regulating the 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:08.400 thing to an extent where you have this beautiful chain 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:11.040 reaction that they can now see. And here's another weird 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:15.960 thing that just happened. It stored nuclear waste really well. 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:20.000 I mean, that's something that humans still haven't really cracked 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:24.560 the code on. There are some amazing ideas as a 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:30.080 matter of fact, about how to warn future civilizations, not 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:34.160 necessarily humans, to stay away from nuclear waste, trying to 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:37.559 come up with a universal sign that anyone from any 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:39.760 time would be able to go, Okay, I'm not going 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.360 near there. Yeah, it's crazy when you think about that. 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:46.880 If the human race were to just die, right, something 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:50.800 happens only only a few enclaves of people are a 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:52.920 lot alive for a while, and then by a few 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:56.679 under years they've dwindled and like the last person dies, uh, 0:11:56.720 --> 0:12:01.600 and then buildings crumble, great stone, mon immense also crumble. 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:05.880 The season and the forest take over the cities, and 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:10.920 eventually the only thing that an alien civilization would see 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:15.000 there was a sign we were there would be nuclear waste, 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:18.839 which is totally like because it would be anomalous to 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.679 the natural settings, they would they would find the Oaklow. 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:24.840 It would it would be like stumbling upon that of 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:27.760 their own. Our version of the Oaklow reactors just now 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:30.960 they're in these weird deposits. Why is all this uranium 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:34.000 and plutonium over here? Yeah, and that's that's a that's 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:37.680 a weird thing because although we have not cracked the code, 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:40.480 we being the human species, not you and I'm at um, 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:46.240 we do know that this proves a tremendously efficient nuclear reactor, 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:50.160 if not a tremendously powerful one. And that's where we 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:56.280 go to the crazy stuff, because we have been saying 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.920 for the entirety of this podcast, and all of that 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:05.439 just happened or did it? Oh, don't don't doom. So 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:09.000 here's the deal. Uh. We talked about this in the 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:11.920 vlog when we were covering this, and in the vlog 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:13.880 we talked about how they buried the lead and one 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:18.400 of these scientific American articles and they said, um, well, 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:21.040 what maybe we should just do the quote. Okay, here's 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.720 the quote. The Oaklow reactors may teach scientists about possible 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:27.480 shifts in what was formerly thought to be a fundamental 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:32.839 physical constant, one called alpha, which controls such universal qualities 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:37.079 as the speed of light. Boom, I I can't think 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:48.320 of an appropriate sound effect. Maybe our superproducer Noel has one. Yeah, 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.680 that's it. That's the perfect one, because that is mind blowing, 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:56.160 the idea that all of these constants we perceive in 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:59.400 the universe may not be as constant as we think. 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:02.640 You know, they change if you're in another neighborhood of reality. 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:05.360 It's possible. But we have to remember this is one 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:11.520 one version, one one subject, one time that we're noticing 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:14.600 that this constant isn't the same, right right yep. So 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.120 any of you out there, you know, shrugging and going, 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:22.080 oh god, they don't understand the just note that we 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:25.080 we do understand that this is one instance of a 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:28.600 constant that seems to not be the same righte light? 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:33.960 It just sounds so emo. Now they just don't understand 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:36.800 the speed of light. Um, yeah, it's true, and it's 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:41.240 it's a really good observation because what we're finding is, 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:47.480 uh is bizarre because we know that now a reaction 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:50.720 like this probably wouldn't occur in the wild. There's simply 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:56.080 not enough uranium in those deposits. So how how did 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:59.320 it work? Deffinitely? Was there just more you two thirty 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:03.960 five in the deposits? Did it somehow take less of it? 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:08.120 Did nuclear reactions? I don't know. Worked differently. What we're 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:14.560 seeing is that the fundamental concepts of the glue binding 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.840 the spine of the universe into a book may just 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:21.600 be non existent or as you said, just in our neighborhood, 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:26.040 or Ben, here's the best theory. What if this is 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:30.000 a sign of ancient technology. What if this was made 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:36.000 this way? What if? What if aliens? Or what if 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:39.880 we're the aliens who found the nuclear waste? You know, 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:47.040 are we a butterfly having a dream, et cetera. Right, Yeah, 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:49.640 I can't remember. I'm kidding. We do remember the whole quote, 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:53.600 but but it is a nice way to flip the perspective. So, yeah, 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:56.880 what it was somehow made here's the deal. If it 0:15:57.000 --> 0:16:00.480 was made by people, and if ancient his three is 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:05.440 remotely true, then uh, people would have to be around 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:08.240 the way longer than we thought. It's if this thing 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:12.600 really is two billion years old, then there's no one 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:15.360 we know of who would be capable of doing that. 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:19.320 People weren't around. We were just a twinkle in the 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:23.640 universe's eye. Unless it's been so long since the previous 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:27.680 iteration of intelligence on this planet, Ben, that we didn't 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:31.200 find anything. Like you said, but the uranium deposit, which 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:34.880 is weird because that from what we know about the 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:40.880 formation of the Earth. Yea, whomever was surviving, right, who 0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:46.080 would be intelligent enough to create a nuclear reaction? Uh? 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:48.520 They had to be some hard cases because Earth was 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:52.760 a brutal place and billions of years ago. I just 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:57.080 I don't know. We we received some interesting letters from 0:16:57.120 --> 0:17:01.120 people before about doing an ancient technology podcast, and we 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:03.920 know that a lot of the skeptical folks listening in 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:07.480 the audience will roll their eyes and say this is 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:11.800 not worth it. But newsflash, Uh, there there really has 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:15.640 been ancient lost technology that was rediscovered, right. No, yeah, 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:18.639 you can look at the antiquathere mechanism. We we talked 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:21.400 about that before in a video podcast a long time ago. Yeah, 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:23.880 I'd love to do an audio show about that. Then 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:27.840 you even got the Greek fire, right, Yeah, that is uh, 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:32.600 that was a weapon that the Greeks would use and 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:36.840 the secret of making this was lost for a very 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:40.920 long time. That's not the only example, of course. We 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:46.680 can have an entire other show about historical or archaeological anachronisms, 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:51.240 you know, things out of time batteries, right, yeah, Bagdad batteries, 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:53.920 which I think was used for silver plating, but I'm 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:58.200 not sure we'll wait for it. Ye, sorry, matt um. 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:01.600 So we want to know what you think. Now we've 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:06.080 gotten we've gotten some great letters about especially in uh 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:13.359 South Asia areas, Pakistan, uh Bangladesh, India. We've gotten letters 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:17.399 about various descriptions of what maybe ancient technology. And we 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:24.760 know that historically India is a powerhouse of um brilliant innovations. 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:28.720 You know a lot of If you're not familiar with 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:33.840 some of the history of inventions and concepts that come 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:38.960 from South Asia, then you know taken afternoon off, tell 0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:43.199 your bossy and I'll learn about the world. Yeah, right, 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:46.200 doesn't everybody get a day off to learn about the world. 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:49.480 And we'd like to know your suggestions of what sort 0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:53.119 of ancient technology we should look at and if you 0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:56.239 think it is possibly tell us this. Uh. Do you 0:18:56.320 --> 0:19:00.399 think it is possible that being that humanity we know 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:05.040 it has gotten the entire story of history? Wrong? Uh? 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:06.919 And when I when I say that, what I mean is, 0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:09.640 do you think it's possible that there could have been 0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:17.440 some other civilization that was responsible for um nuclear reactors? 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:19.960 Because it looks like everything we see it looks like 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:25.000 these just happened, as ridiculously weird as that sounds, and 0:19:25.040 --> 0:19:28.080 if you have to be explained perfectly, but they've been 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:32.440 explained adequately, at least for me. Yeah. Yeah, it seems 0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:38.119 like just the lottery of strange coincidences and just right moments, 0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:43.040 unless that is somehow an intelligent force made them. But 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:46.359 then the question would be, why haven't we seen anything else? 0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:48.560 Because you know, Ben, I hear that there are no 0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:51.920 coincidences that I hear. I got a fortune cookie that 0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:55.399 said that one time it was a weird moment in 0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:58.040 my life, so I was like, oh, this is also 0:19:58.119 --> 0:20:01.920 not a coincidence. Yeah, you ever have them in those 0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:05.280 days where everything seems laden with meaning and symbolic and 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:08.199 stuff all the time. It happens to me when I 0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:12.160 don't get enough sleep, which is all the time. Alright, guys, 0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:14.160 so right to us.
