1 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:04,320 Speaker 1: From UFOs two, ghosts and government cover ups. History is 2 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: writted with unexplained events. You can turn back now or 3 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: learn the stuff they don't want you to now. Hello, 4 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:17,959 Speaker 1: welcome back to the show. My name is Matt, and 5 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: I am then and today we're going deep. Yes, we're 6 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: going deep literally, figuratively, metaphorically, and I'm sure a couple 7 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: of elites that I've forgot to mention. Uh. The big 8 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: question here to start us off, Matt, is can we 9 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 1: be happy underground? Not the bend full of song, but 10 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:45,480 Speaker 1: the honest question. Sure, I think we can be happy underground. 11 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 1: There are lots of different people who have been happy underground. No, 12 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: we hide in our homes. We build these structures so 13 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: it feels like we're somewhat underground. We lived in caves. 14 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: Humans lived in caves for a very long time because 15 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: we need shelter, and what better shelter than the thing 16 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: that's right beneath you and closed and closed. In this episode, 17 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,559 Speaker 1: we are going to talk about the world beneath your 18 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 1: feet now, Matt, you and I have are are midway 19 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: through our series this week, which is on catacombs primarily, 20 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: but then on also other other ancient hidden things. I 21 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: think we brought our classics Crystal skull episode back. Yeah, 22 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: Crystal Skulls. It's that's a polarizing episode. Oh yeah, no 23 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: kidding people, people are mad at us. One of my 24 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: favorite things about that, as a side note, um, is 25 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: how many people felt so strongly about the video or 26 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: that they didn't watch that they saw the title and 27 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: ran directly to the comments to say, you guys are 28 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: full of b as. These things are not actual alien artifacts, 29 00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: which is pretty much what we say in the video. 30 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: But you know, you'd have to watch it, I know, 31 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: and I'm and I'm always like, well, did you see 32 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: Indiana Jones three four? I mean, I don't know whichever 33 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: one that came out. Yeah, with the Indiana Jones the uh. 34 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: But but all of that aside, um, and you know, 35 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: I'm I'm just joshing a little bit with the YouTube commanders. 36 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,959 Speaker 1: I know, people get heated. But all of that aside, 37 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: it did bring up some really interesting topics that we 38 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: had touched on before. Now, this is a little bit 39 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: close to our episode on deep underground military bases, but 40 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: it's much bigger. It's more of a grab bag. So 41 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: first to understand if we can really be happy underground. 42 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: We have to understand what underground is, which means we 43 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: need a quick recap of Earth's structure. And luckily it's 44 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: pretty simple, right and thankfully there's this thing called geology 45 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: that looks at rocks and you know, what are we 46 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: on but one giant rock that has a multi middle. 47 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: So we live, all of us, you listening right now, 48 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: We live on the surface of the Earth. And then 49 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 1: directly below that surface there's the crust and sexy name, 50 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that crusty crust, and that where it comes 51 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: out of the mouth. Strangely, it's three to six miles thick, 52 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: and that's that's underneath the ocean, and then it's around 53 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: two forty some miles underneath the surface of the land. 54 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: And that's that's really thin when you think about it. 55 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: If you think about how large the Earth actually is 56 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: very thin. So imagine an apple. Okay, it's kind of 57 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: the skin. Think about the skin in that tiny little 58 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: layer that is the crust, and under the skin in 59 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: this apple comparison, we have the mushy insides known as 60 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: the mantle. The mantle is the largest part of earth 61 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: earth structure. It's really really hot, which might be counter 62 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: in two. It of to some people because you know, 63 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: we know that people live in caves for a while, 64 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: because it holds a cold temperature better in an arid environment. 65 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: But once you get down to where the pressure is increasing, uh, 66 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,839 Speaker 1: it's a whole different ball game. So the mantle, even 67 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: though it's hot, and it's hot enough that parts of 68 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: it would melt, it stays solid primarily because the pressure 69 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 1: deep inside the planet is too great to permit melting. However, 70 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 1: when it does melt, you know, in a plate shifts 71 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: or something like that, boom, magma makes its way to 72 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: the outer crust. Sorry, Pompeii. That's just how it goes. 73 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: So then you keep going down and you get to 74 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: the core. Now the core has two different parts. There's 75 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: there's an inner core and an outer core. The outer 76 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: one is it's liquid um. I mean, it's the kind 77 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: of the magma stuff, but it's just underneath the earth 78 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: that's just kind of pressure, super pressure, like Ben was 79 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: saying with the mantle. And then you've got to keep 80 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: going down all the way you get to the very center, 81 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: which is theorized right to be solid. Yes, but it's 82 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: basically and this thing is crazy hot. It's it's almost 83 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: it's not as hot as the sun. It's almost as 84 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 1: hot as the sun, right, right, and again according to 85 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: the estimations, because no human being that we know of 86 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: has uh the center of the earth gotten remotely close 87 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: to it. However, this is interesting because you know, when 88 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: we were talking about the hollow earth theories, there were 89 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: people who said, well, of course the core appears to 90 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: be as hot as the sudden, because there is a 91 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 1: mini tour son within the core of the earth. Neither 92 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: you nor I really bought just do due to what 93 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: we understand about the magnetosphere and the physics involved, right, 94 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: and gravitational pull and stuff, it seems very difficult to 95 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: explain how that could that sort of condition could be true. 96 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: But but a fascinating story. Fascinating story, and it is 97 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: true that we know dead lee about the core of 98 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: the earth. Really, we we make these guesses. You know, 99 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: it's really hot, that's not tough to guess. And oh, 100 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: it's maybe it's a nickel alloy of some sort of 101 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: you know, hopefully we'll find out. But if we dig 102 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 1: in and we say that, all right, everything that people 103 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: are doing, as far as the science goes, everything that 104 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: people are doing inside Earth so far is just going 105 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: to different areas of the crust. People do live in 106 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: cave homes, right, People go to ground all the time. 107 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: They live in caves um and have as you mentioned 108 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: Matt for for right. Oh yeah, yeah, their their cave 109 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: homes all over Australia, UM and throughout the world there 110 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 1: are cave homes, ancient ancient cave sure structures where people 111 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: would live all a little. They look like cities almost. 112 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: You've seen these canyon settlements in the United it States, 113 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: and there are there are a lot of reasons that 114 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 1: a human group would go there. There's temperature regulation, um, 115 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: there's all kinds of escaping, dangerous environments, maybe even dangerous animals, predators. Um, yes, 116 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: I'm safety was a huge issue. Different to have a 117 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: group moving towards a cave or at least underground. I 118 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: remember we've seen some older settlements, you know, ancient semments 119 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: like those two that we always mispronounced. Oh go both 120 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: of us, uh go go back Lee Tepe and kayle 121 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: hulk is how it's spelled. Yeah, I'm just gonna let 122 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: you do that. But one thing you do have to 123 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: deal with now that you're living basically underneath a large 124 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: piece of rock, or underneath a cave, inside of a cave, 125 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: and it's the you gotta worry, worry about the earth 126 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: itself kind of fighting against you. Yeah, So if there's 127 00:07:54,800 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: any kind of earthquakes shifts, bad news, right salutely. And 128 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: this means that, of course you could be in a 129 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: cave in if you dig too deep. Hobbit holes are 130 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: a real thing. Uh. There's the idea of building a 131 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: house sort of on a hill structure, so it's not 132 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: actually cave, it's not in bedrock, it's just covered with dirt. Um. 133 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: There are also these ongoing plans to build massive permanent 134 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: living areas underground. One of the one of the most 135 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: science fiction type ones is this thing called Alice City, 136 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: which already sounds like it's an autom a right uh 137 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: in Japan, and it's these two domes and these shafts 138 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: that go way deep into the ground, and there are 139 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: all sorts of plans to try to make it okay 140 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: to live in there. Um because as we're about to see, 141 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: many people love to visit underground, but uh, not a 142 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: lot of people want to live there. And that way, 143 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: it's kind of similar to Orlando yeah, I've been there 144 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: a couple of times. I enjoyed. I enjoyed my time 145 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 1: I was there briefly. Right yeah, um so, and this 146 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: is the part Matt where during our show, somebody's listening 147 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: right now, and um, yes, it's true. We can hear 148 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 1: your thoughts just a little bit. We know that you're thinking, Hey, 149 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: people already have these massive underground living complexes. Governments, right, 150 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: private entities have have something like that. But we're not 151 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 1: talking about the doomsday bunkers. Uh. Those things are contingency plans. 152 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: They're not people living in those twenty four hours a day. 153 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:38,439 Speaker 1: Right now, we're talking about a commercial thing in underground city. Um, 154 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: much more than an apartment complex where you could be 155 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: born and die and never go to the surface world. 156 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: We're talking about that more people type stuff, right. That's 157 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: a great scenario. So okay, so let's talk a little 158 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: bit about how deep we've actually gone we okay, you know, 159 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: no one's gone too deep into the mantle, um, but 160 00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: let's just talk about the deepest hole that's ever been 161 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: at least thus far. It's it's called the Cola Super 162 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: Deep Bore Hole, and that's it's where Russia basically reached 163 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: a depth of seven and a half miles and it's 164 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: the deepest man made hole on the planet currently and 165 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: it's probably gonna stay that way for a while just 166 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: given the crazy temperatures involved with the process of trying 167 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: to get that deep. Well, it's crazy hot, man. And 168 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: think about if you've got boring technology, just a massive 169 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: metal drill, and you're just going down and down and down. 170 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: Eventually you're gonna hit a point where your equipment is 171 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,559 Speaker 1: going to just fail and it's not going to be 172 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 1: able to function um And then what if you get 173 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: into kind of the more liquid e molten areas where 174 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: the where the pressure makes the rock behave more like 175 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: a plastic And then what do you do It gets 176 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 1: all gunked up on your drill. You're trying to get 177 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: it out. If you get if you get a little 178 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: bit out, there's gonna be just more fills it in, 179 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: like like you would if you hit a pool of water. Yeah. Yeah, 180 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: And uh. The thing that taught me about this, because 181 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 1: I remember us talking about this before, was one of 182 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 1: the most surprising things scientists found other than that it's 183 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: really difficult to drill a hole that deep, is that 184 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: they found signs of ancient life or micro fossils. Um 185 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: in this rock was two billion years old. These were 186 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: single cell plants, so plankton basically. That freaks me out. Man. Yeah, 187 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: that's that's intense. Just you know what, maybe the world 188 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: there's only six thousand years old been oh wait, probably not. Well, 189 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: you know, those rocks might have come from somewhere else. 190 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 1: That's what happened. That's what happened. We're doing the rock theory, 191 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: not the wrestling. So this idea that there are signs 192 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: of life, that there are extreme of files that live 193 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: under the surface of Earth and these remote, inaccessible areas, 194 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: all of this naturally makes human beings, some of them 195 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: narcissistic of Earth's creatures. Wonder why don't we live underground 196 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: right now? Well, it's because we've evolved to live above ground. Evolution. 197 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: Sorry but yes, but truly it's me it's because of that. 198 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: If you think about your circadian rhythms, the way your 199 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: body releases chemicals when it thinks it's time to go 200 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: to bed, it's directly related with night, which means you're 201 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,839 Speaker 1: probably on the surface, so that during the day when 202 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: the sun's out. You know, not only are you are 203 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: you able to use the sun to figure out where 204 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,119 Speaker 1: the heck you're walking around? You? Um, But it's absence 205 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: cause the chemicals released. Now it's time for bed, right, Yeah, 206 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 1: we're diurnal, that's the that's the fancy word for it, 207 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: right and we um. We also have this weird relationship 208 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: with this thing called vitamin D, which I'm whare of 209 00:12:55,840 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: internet slang. It's not that vitamin D, but uh, it's 210 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 1: the actual vitamin that prevents rickets, keeps your immune system 211 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 1: pimp and strong. And it's also, weirdly enough, the only 212 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: vitamin that we don't get from food or flint Stone's chewables. 213 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: We actually create vitamin D. Get this, folks through photosynthesis. Yeah, 214 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 1: plants like plants. No, I think I think you're You're wrong. No, 215 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: well I'm I'm not the one pedalin evolution. So uh 216 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: So the thing is that, weirdly enough, the ultra violet 217 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 1: radiation coming from sunlight causes this photosynthesis that produces vitamin 218 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: D in our cells. So no sunlight, no vitamin D 219 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: q rickets cheese. And that's not the only thing that 220 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: sunlight kind of allows us to produce. Um. We produce 221 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: saratonin also through sunlight. Without sunlight, we basically get that 222 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: thing that you've heard it before, seasonal effective disorder, where 223 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: you're just feeling down and oppressed and oh man, when 224 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: is when is the sun coming back? And they say never, 225 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: we're north of the Arctic circle. Oh gosh, and then 226 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: you're like, oh man, I can't sleep right, can't sleep 227 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: at all. Let me just point out for anyone who 228 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 1: didn't catch there, hasn't heard of this, Matt, what was 229 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: the name of that disorder again, Seasonal effective disorder, which 230 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: makes the acronym SAD, which I still think it's funny. 231 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: So it's it's just a note on this one. You've 232 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: probably seen this before to Matt, where they've they've got 233 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: these programs in some um northern countries, countries that are 234 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: closer and closer to the Arctic Circle, where they expose 235 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: children to ultra violet light. Right, these are school kids 236 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: and they're being exposed to that UV light we talked 237 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: about earlier to help with the assistance of vitamin D 238 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: and serotonin and to prevent them from coming becoming s 239 00:14:53,600 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: A d uh acquiring s A D acquiring SAD, acquiring SAD. Sorry, 240 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: I'm no, we're making light of it. But it's a 241 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: real thing, and it's I mean, it's pretty serious. It 242 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: can lead to you two bad things, no joke. Um, 243 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: So okay, then we need some light. We've we've we 244 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: figured that out. What else do we need? Oh we 245 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: need air. Oh yeah, that's that's important. Gotta be able 246 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: to breathe. You gotta be able to send oxygen to 247 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: all of your cells. So most humans have evolved, I'm 248 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: just gonna go with this. So most of us, um 249 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: using the word again, have evolved to accept the mixture 250 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: of a couple of different things in the air. You've 251 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: got nitrogen, you've got oxygen, are gone even and c 252 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: O two and at sea level the atmospheric pressure. Uh, 253 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: it's that's where we need it. We need it to 254 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: be at the pressure of sea level or you know, 255 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: in a varying range. That's the sweet spot we evolved 256 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: to exactly. Okay. Uh yeah, And that's you know, not 257 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: counting Tibetans and Andians who over um multiple generations living 258 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: in these high out to two places. They got a 259 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: little weird with it and they are better at um 260 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: getting oxygen from the thin environment. Right. Um. But yeah, 261 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: so in general, we've evolved to live in this area 262 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: on land, breathing just the the tap water version of air. Right, 263 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: So what happens? What what does this have to do 264 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: with us being underground? Well, it's atmospheric pressure. So it's 265 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: the opposite of going way up into the Indian mountains. Right, 266 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: So if you go deep, deep into the ground, the 267 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: pressure is going to increase, uh, like crazy. And so 268 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: if you spend too much time, you know, too far 269 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: below sea level, it makes the components of the air 270 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: separate from our blood. And this is the thing that 271 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 1: you've probably heard before called the bends where if you're 272 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: diving deep um under the ocean and you can't come 273 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 1: up very fast because if you do, all of the 274 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: all of the molecules separate, So you would have to 275 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: that's why you have to decompress, right, you have to 276 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: go up more slowly. You will, you go up really slowly. 277 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: Then usually have to spend time in a decompression chamber 278 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: just to make sure everything stays the way it should. 279 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: And miners have to do the same decompression staging two 280 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: right if they go too deep. Okay, so here's the 281 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: here's the next question I have then, um for you 282 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: Matt and for everybody listening, will we eventually have to 283 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 1: live underground? Evolutionarily? Uh? Disadvantaged as we may be for that? 284 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 1: Oh man, you're gonna make me bring up another subject 285 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,919 Speaker 1: that everyone gets really happy about or really mad about. 286 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:55,199 Speaker 1: What's that climate change? Depending on what happens on the 287 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,679 Speaker 1: surface of the earth, we may be forced to at 288 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 1: least spend some more time underground. And you've got all 289 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: kinds of technologies now that can assist us in living undergrown. Um, 290 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: it won't be easy though, you know, in Alice City 291 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: they were talking about simulating weather patterns. You know, So 292 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: would it be easier to always live underground? If you 293 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: felt that there was a window, which you know is 294 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,880 Speaker 1: fake intellectually, but this window shows you sunlight and nighttime 295 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: rain on the glass. I think it would make things easier. 296 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 1: But it'd be cool if you could program it, program 297 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 1: your own room or your maybe your level or something 298 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: that of a hollow deck. Oh man, one day, one day. 299 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: So billions of people are spreading across the planet right 300 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: and space is already at a ridiculous premium in some places. Um. 301 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 1: San Francisco, I think is one of the most expensive 302 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 1: in the United States, but that has nothing on Hong Kong, 303 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: nothing on Tokyo. And these are incredibly, incredibly dense areas. 304 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 1: So people started building up and down because you can't 305 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 1: build out anymore. Horizontal don't work. Um. So there are 306 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: all kinds of people who have proposed these ideas of 307 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: massive underground cities. But honestly, at this point, the closest 308 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: thing we've got are the dumbs that we talked about, 309 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: the deep underground military bases and you know bunkers that 310 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: some people have made. There are a couple of missile 311 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 1: silos that are being changed into you know, in case 312 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: s hits, the fan scenarios. There's they're like really nice 313 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: vertical mansions. Um, you can find you can find these 314 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: occasionally for sale on the internet. Um, dude, and if 315 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: I if I hit the lottery or something, Yeah, I 316 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 1: guess what this guy is getting one of those? Can 317 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,400 Speaker 1: I can I rent a spot from? Oh yeah, everybody 318 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: gets to join. If you know me, we're going. You 319 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: just made a lot of friends. That's okay, We're gonna 320 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: start a whole new world together deep underground. So if 321 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: we do start this whole new world together deep underground, 322 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: then it's more of a comeback than it is an 323 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,639 Speaker 1: innovation because we have delved into Earth forever and that 324 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 1: brings us to something a little bit different. We'll talk 325 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: about one of our ancient earth delving experiments, the catacomb. 326 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: So what is a catacomb. Well, a catacomb is it 327 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:24,120 Speaker 1: can really be described as any underground passage way that 328 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 1: was you could say it was typically used for burial 329 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: in the beginning. In the beginning at least, But now 330 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: there are a lot of things described as catacombs that aren't. 331 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: You know, in my head, I wouldn't have viewed them 332 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,400 Speaker 1: as catacombs back in the day. Oh yeah, because they 333 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: are really old. Like the first places that we know 334 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: of that we're called catacombs or these underground tombs in 335 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: uh the Appian Way in the Empire of Rome, and 336 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: that's um, that's something I think we mentioned in our vlog. 337 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: The Appian Way is really interesting. I was watching a 338 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: Rick Steves. I know he's a competitor I guess in 339 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 1: some weird way with us, but Rick Steves with his 340 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 1: I think his PBS show. Yeah, Rick Steves is awesome. 341 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,479 Speaker 1: I would have him on our show, dude. I really 342 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 1: enjoy his show. But anyway, he did a whole thing 343 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: on the catacombs in Rome in the Appian Way, and 344 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: I put a tiny little clip in there and I 345 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: watched the whole thing. It was awesome. I would highly 346 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 1: recommend you watching it. And this that parts the part 347 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: of the Appian Ways, uh so old that it has 348 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: been rumored the apostles Paul and Peter were buried in there. Yeah, 349 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:36,159 Speaker 1: that's I mean that goes all the way back to 350 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 1: the common Era, like early days of the Common Era. 351 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 1: That's that's old. Now by the eighteen hundreds, I think 352 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 1: that's when that shift occurred that you and I were 353 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: talking about, where the word catacomb can refer to any 354 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: structure that was underground and held the dead in mass graves. 355 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 1: And this was more um. This, this enlargement of the 356 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,719 Speaker 1: term was something that we find happens pretty often just 357 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 1: in English. Yeah, and you'll find these catacombs all over 358 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: the world, but probably the one you've heard of the 359 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: most are the catacombs in Paris. We've had a couple 360 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: of people talk to us about visiting the cateacory s 361 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: are Um. We actually we need to thank give a 362 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 1: big thanks to our listener heather S who wrote to 363 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:34,919 Speaker 1: us with a fantastic, h very dense like email with 364 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 1: all these facts and then set up, uh, set up 365 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: some pictures that we could use and stuff. So thank 366 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 1: you very much either. That was really really cool. Um, 367 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 1: and I think we wrote back thanking her. Oh yeah, 368 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: and I will be making use of some of those 369 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: images in the video coming up this week. That's a 370 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: that's an official special thanks that we should probably have 371 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: show up in the video. Yea, though I wish we 372 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: could show you a sign right now that just said 373 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 1: thanks Heather, and we can't do it. I don't know 374 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 1: how to get that information to you. If only everybody 375 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: at synas Asia you know what I mean. Anyway, Yes, 376 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 1: So back to catacombs. Um, I think, as we alluded 377 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,880 Speaker 1: to earlier, most catacombs have been used for multiple things. Right, 378 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: it's not all just mass graves, but that's that's sort 379 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,199 Speaker 1: of the main thing. Yeah, and well after once a 380 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: catacomb has been around for a while, if it ever 381 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,919 Speaker 1: goes into disuse or maybe there aren't a lot of 382 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: there's not a lot of foot traffic in there anymore, 383 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 1: you'll find people like squatters hanging out there. Um, you'll 384 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: even find this is my favorite underground political movements, uh, 385 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,880 Speaker 1: like gatherings of rebels would use a catacomb because it's 386 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 1: one of the most secret places you could go and 387 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: meet if you didn't want anybody on the surface knowing 388 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: what's going on, if you don't want the guys on 389 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: the surface, get get in a little too uh too 390 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: keen on your business. Which what's weird is that this 391 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: sort of this sort of structure offers such an enormous 392 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: opportunity as a hideout that there were times, you know, 393 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:20,880 Speaker 1: during World War Two when the French Resistance was working 394 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 1: on stuff during one part of the war or in 395 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,719 Speaker 1: one area of the city of Paris, and then the 396 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:32,919 Speaker 1: Nazis also had their catacomb base. It's clear, you know, 397 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: we had some tough times trying to find some information 398 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: on squatter communities in the catacombs currently around the world. 399 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,160 Speaker 1: But I would say almost certainly, especially in very dense, 400 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:49,679 Speaker 1: expensive cities, they're almost certainly squatters. Yeah. So if you 401 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: look at a city like New York that has such 402 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: an extensive underground part to it, there are subway systems, Yeah, 403 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 1: there there were areas. I don't know, oh man, what 404 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,159 Speaker 1: the heck was it called New York's Bandoned Subway Station? 405 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: There were jeez, there was a great documentary that I 406 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:10,719 Speaker 1: saw Netflix ages ago about this one abandoned subway station 407 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: that was being used and it was basically a whole 408 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 1: city of people living in there and they all got 409 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,919 Speaker 1: kicked out for some reason. But man, it was awesome 410 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: dark days. I think maybe something like that, I don't know. 411 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 1: That's absolutely right, Matt and uh, listeners, ladies and gentlemen, 412 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 1: We know that some of you maybe listening to this 413 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 1: show under the influence of chemicals. If you are, we 414 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: don't want you to be freaked out by thinking of 415 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: the invisible world that runs beneath your feet. Think of 416 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 1: the forgotten subway stations, think of the underground bunkers. The 417 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,360 Speaker 1: next time you're in a crowded city and you walk 418 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:57,439 Speaker 1: by one of those greats, look down. How far do 419 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: you think it goes? And where do you think it goes? Uh? Yeah, 420 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: but don't worry. Don't worry about that too. To bring 421 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: it the Yeah, don't't worry. Pay no attention to the 422 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:13,360 Speaker 1: people behind the sewer grade. Yeah, that makes me think 423 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: of Penny Wise. Dude. Okay, before we move on. I 424 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 1: know we're moving on. I just I want to say 425 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,119 Speaker 1: how excited I am. E three was going on, and 426 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: maybe it's still going on. I was watching videos from it. 427 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 1: Did you see the New Assassin's Creed? No, I have not. 428 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 1: The New Assassin's Creed is based around the French Revolution 429 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 1: in Paris, and I cannot wait to see if they 430 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,880 Speaker 1: make use of any of the catacombs or I don't know, 431 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 1: maybe well just that let alone the catacombs, just that 432 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 1: time period. I'm so excited to play it, and everybody 433 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 1: knows I'm a huge gamer. I'm sorry, but it's great. Oh. 434 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,239 Speaker 1: One thing also that we should mention. I hope they 435 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: do make use of the catacombs. One thing we should 436 00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:00,120 Speaker 1: mention is that catacombs in the in the world the 437 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: way that we're talking now, using of course, that in 438 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,360 Speaker 1: large definition, which includes things which are not necessarily from 439 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: the Roman Empire. Uh. Well, that's a heck of a 440 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:15,400 Speaker 1: run on sentence. Colon point being colon. Uh. These catacombs 441 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: are surprisingly accessible, at least small parts of them. You 442 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,679 Speaker 1: can easily visit as a tourist, as long as you 443 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: stay within the areas that the authorities have marked as safe. 444 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: Their primary concerns, of course, being things like cavens, because 445 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: a lot of these are very old safety concerns about 446 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 1: unexpected drops, you know, satanic cult areas. They don't want 447 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 1: you to go. That's the question. Yeah, safety is it? Safety? 448 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: What else is? What else is out there? You know? Um, 449 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I was just hopefully no one was taking 450 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: me serious. Oh yeah, I was, because there there wouldn't 451 00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: be anywhere. Yeah, okay, okay, we'll move on. Uh So, 452 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,719 Speaker 1: the let's bracket catacombs for a second, because we do 453 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: need to go back to that exploration. Okay, Ben, are 454 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: you referring to the Hollow Earth exploration? You know, I 455 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: love that you brought this up. This has been one 456 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,679 Speaker 1: of my favorite conspiracy theories since the very beginning of 457 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 1: our show, Matt, we just lay it on me, man, 458 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 1: hollow Earth? What's up? What's going on? Well, there's so 459 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 1: many different parts too. I guess we'll start with there 460 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: were some explorations by the Nazis to Antarctica. Yes to 461 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: found New Swabia. Yes to found New Schwabia, because you 462 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 1: know it's more land. We're we're an empire of sorts. 463 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: We need to control as much as we can. Well, 464 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: here's nobody's over here, let's might as well take that piece. 465 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: But there could have been more to it than that. 466 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 1: What if they thought that there was some sort of 467 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: entrance into the Earth that led to the whole other 468 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: underside of the Earth, where there's a whole another race 469 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: of humanoids, human beings of sorts, which are are somehow 470 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: acceptable and cool to the incredibly racist Nazis. Yeah, well, 471 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna gonna point that out. That always bugged me. 472 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: They just welcome them in with the salute, and yeah, 473 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: maybe they were just waving. But levity aside that, that 474 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 1: is one of the biggest conspiracy theories, and that's when 475 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: we tackled in one of our very very early episodes, 476 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: um and the Hollow Earth is this group of conspiracy theories, 477 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: some of which say that the world is completely hollow 478 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: and there's a hidden universe or excuse me, a hidden civilization. 479 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: They're only another Earth essentially, just yeah, that's exactly a yeah, 480 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: another uh an inverse version of Earth. And aside from 481 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: all of the scientific reasons that that seems impossible. Aside 482 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 1: from all of that, right, yeah, which we I think 483 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: we do list in our episode on that there's there's 484 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 1: this weird thing that um we there. There are these 485 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: weird things that we stumble on that could be the 486 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: grains of truth, right, and that later become the basis 487 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: of these theories. So it is true as you say 488 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: that Germany did intend to found a place called New 489 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 1: Swabia on Antarctica. Um, whether or not that would have 490 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 1: been a wise decision is is anybody's guests, just because 491 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: of how inhospitable it is to live in Antarctica. Even 492 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: with technology today, it's extremely difficult to maintain bases there. 493 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 1: I think they're only a handful. Yeah, and their research stations. Yeah. Um, 494 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: you can travel to Antarctica on tour, which is something 495 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: that I wanted to do for a while. Funny story 496 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: met when you and I were uh first doing that episode. 497 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 1: Remember we found the We found this group of guys 498 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 1: on the internet who were getting ready to take an 499 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: expedition to Antarctica to find whether or not there was 500 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: an entrance into Um they didn't say a hollow earth necessarily. 501 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: They said more like a large cave system where something 502 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: might be living. And um, yes, sign me up, I 503 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: want to watch I want to go I'll take a camera, 504 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 1: let's do it. Yeah. I sent an application in but 505 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 1: got no response, so I I checked before we went 506 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 1: on air, and I couldn't find any updates on it. 507 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 1: But um, what's what's weird about that is that that 508 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: leads us to all of the stuff we don't know 509 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: about this surface, which is why when we hear people 510 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 1: talking about you know, secret underground even cities and stuff 511 00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 1: like that, we can say probably not, but we can't 512 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 1: completely say no way. I mean, it's just just with okay, 513 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 1: just with um. One of the longest known cave systems, 514 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 1: Mammoth Cave System in Kentucky. We don't really know what 515 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 1: goes on in Mammoth Cave System. We know it's big, 516 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 1: and we know it spreads out way further than it should. Yeah. Well, 517 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 1: I love that their technology, their technologies now that we 518 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: can use to begin mapping that stuff. Yeah. Have you 519 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 1: seen the little drone guys, little miniature drones that Yeah, man, 520 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 1: it's so cool it It feels to me like, I 521 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 1: don't know how many of you are been Did you 522 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 1: see Prometheus? Yes, the little little drones they send out, 523 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: they go down the systems we're getting. We're not there, 524 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: but we're getting close to their right. We do. We 525 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 1: do have more and more technology that allows us to 526 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: explore things, um in a much safer way than we 527 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 1: would have been able to previously. But even to go 528 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: back to our discussion about catacombs and minds and stuff, 529 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 1: in Odessa, that's one of the world's largest structures of 530 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 1: this sort. They have an entire thing, entire network of 531 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 1: tunnels and caverns that are you know, roped off to 532 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 1: the public lack of better word, that's K to nine, 533 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 1: and no one is sure yet, uh, in the absence 534 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: of one of these cave drones exactly how far KH 535 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 1: nine goes or where it goes, and is most the 536 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 1: vast majority of this is man made. They may have 537 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 1: perhaps found, uh, you know, some natural caves, but I 538 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: don't think so. I think these are all man made. 539 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 1: So whomever made them forgot or because it's you know, 540 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 1: it's mining. So about once every five years, uh, some 541 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: unlucky tour guide or cataphile, uh finds another body because 542 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,120 Speaker 1: people it's so big that people get lost, and it's 543 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 1: The Parisian catacombs are really nice in that they have 544 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,799 Speaker 1: these signs that tell you where you're at you know, uh, 545 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 1: not so in Odessa, it's just a long dark somebody 546 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 1: needs to get on that start mapping it out right, 547 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: and some drones. They're even places in Vietnam. The San 548 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 1: Dum Cave. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it's another one of 549 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: the largest cave systems in the world. It's five and 550 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 1: a half miles long, and it's crazy. There's an inside 551 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:38,880 Speaker 1: of it. Get this, there's a jungle oh in the 552 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,840 Speaker 1: part of it that's like open air. Right. There's also 553 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,240 Speaker 1: you've got a river inside of it as well, because 554 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 1: you know, as we know, a lot of the cave 555 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 1: systems were formed by water, it would make sense. But 556 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,720 Speaker 1: this one has a nice big river. And this is crazy. 557 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 1: You could fit a forty story skyscraper inside of this thing, 558 00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,399 Speaker 1: like vertically or horizontally. Well, I would do it. Kind 559 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:08,280 Speaker 1: of have to cia to get it in. UM's that's interesting. 560 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 1: So we have these. These are just a few examples 561 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,800 Speaker 1: of a fact that will disturb some people and excite 562 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: others UM listeners. If you remember, in the old days 563 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 1: of exploration, cartographers would often put here be serpents or 564 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 1: terry incognita for monsters, the unknown stuff at the edge 565 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 1: of the map exactly that unknown stuff still exist. There 566 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:40,399 Speaker 1: really are edges of maps with no end or no 567 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:44,359 Speaker 1: knowable end, and uh, some of them are in these 568 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 1: gigantic cave systems, which makes it just possible enough that 569 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 1: we could say there's something there that we don't know 570 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 1: about or something. You know, I'd be very surprised if 571 00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: there was something they don't want you to know, but um, 572 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 1: maybe maybe there is. It's there's probably not. I'm gonna 573 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 1: say that there's probably not uh some some big secret. 574 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 1: But if there is, uh, it would be on the 575 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 1: edges of those maps. And we know that it's worth 576 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 1: learning because as recently as two thousand and twelve, scientists 577 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 1: were discovering new forms of life within caves. So after 578 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:31,800 Speaker 1: a certain points, we really don't have an idea what's 579 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 1: down there, you know. And so here is to encouraging 580 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:41,480 Speaker 1: young people to explore caves and become the scientists. Yeah, 581 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 1: go cave diving, I mean, come back, But yeah, cave 582 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 1: diving is an incredibly dangerous pursuit. But underwater caves, of course, 583 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 1: are even more enigmatic in a lot of ways. So again, 584 00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:00,960 Speaker 1: the I guess the emphasis here is that all the 585 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,880 Speaker 1: evidence we're finding does not tell us the earth is hollow, 586 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: but all the evidence we're finding also tells us that 587 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:11,759 Speaker 1: there is a lot more underneath our feet that we're 588 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 1: aware of yet. That's right. So what do you think? 589 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,279 Speaker 1: Are there any places near you that are maybe not 590 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:22,920 Speaker 1: as explored underground places?
