1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Hey guys, Steve here, you are listening to one of

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: our original twenty six episodes. If you listen to any

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: of our new episodes, you're gonna notice that we're sounding

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: a little different in these ones. Yeah, there's a reason

5
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: for that. There is they've been remastered. They have been

6
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: remastered because they had a really annoying hum. Yeah, I

7
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: mean a huge thanks to listener James for doing almost

8
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: all of the legwork on this thing. They'll also notice

9
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: if you had listened to what we're calling the last

10
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 1: twenty six episodes before and you're re listening now, the

11
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 1: music and sound effects are gone. Yes, we've we've gone

12
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: back to straight audio, So be warned. We sound a

13
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: little different today than we do in what you're about

14
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: to listen to. Yeah, bye bye, Thinking Sideways. I don't

15
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: you never know stories of things we simply don't know

16
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: the answer too. Welcome to Thinking Sideways. I'm Devin, I'm Steve,

17
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: and I have an interesting thing to talk about today.

18
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: What kind of a conundrum sort of thing. Well, get started.

19
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: It's a little bit of a mystery. Um So in

20
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: rural China, in a location that is widely considered to

21
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: be uninhabitable, by humans. There are three openings into a

22
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: mountain called Mount by Agog by a Gong by Gong

23
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: that contain hundreds of very out of place artifacts. So

24
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: this is out of place artifactory, out of place artifacts story,

25
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: you know, out of place artifacts story is so out

26
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: of place artifacts are really really unusual or found in

27
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: really improbable contexts, things like the crystal skulls of Mexico

28
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: that they referenced in the Indiana Jones movies recently moved recently.

29
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: There's an iron pillar in Delhi, India, And there's a

30
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: the I can never say the name that mechanism that

31
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,839
Speaker 1: they found in Greece that was sunk in a ship. Yeah.

32
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: That one is supposed to be like an old clock

33
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: or something that's like a really long time ago. Yeah,

34
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: I can and I can never say the name. I'm

35
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: sure they will talk about these future think they're all

36
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: really really out of place artifacts. But so this one

37
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: is Um. They're iron pipes, uh. And some of the

38
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: pipes run deep into the mountain um and others run

39
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: under a lake. Some of them run near a lake

40
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: and they come through the cave system. They come through

41
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: the caves. Yeah, there are pipes that uh they Yeah,

42
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: they run all over this little area here. Um. They're

43
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: cleanly cut um, which indicates that they were used at

44
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: one time and that they were man made. Okay, so

45
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: they're just pipes. Well, they're just pipes. But archaeologists have

46
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: dated them to a time when humanity was still trying

47
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: to figure out fire. That's what five eight thousand years ago. Yeah,

48
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: that's longer than that, but still a long time ago. Yeah,

49
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I think we figured out fire like

50
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: more like a hundred thousand years ago or something like that.

51
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: But so there, you know, and I couldn't find any dates.

52
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: I looked at a lot of sites and all everything

53
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: just references like when we were still basically Neanderthals. It says,

54
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: as we're figuring out how to work fire, this is

55
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: when this time, this is the time frame for these pipes.

56
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: And I remember reading about this that there was something

57
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: about the it correct me if I'm wrong, Kevin, But

58
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: isn't there stuff about the fact that Chinese government had

59
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: done said they did all kinds of research, but then

60
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: they never released their researching. Yeah, that was the dating.

61
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: They never said what it was. Yeah, so there's a

62
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: lot of controversy around these there's not a lot of data,

63
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: and it's partially because it comes out of China. Ink.

64
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: The government has funded a lot of different research into

65
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: these pipes, but none of the research has ever really

66
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: been released, and they have allowed any foreign scientists and

67
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: to have a look at these things. They're anoying. So

68
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: the pipes according to tests carried out by a local smeltery.

69
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: So how you say that word smelter. Smelter, I've never

70
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: heard of a smelter, but maybe they exist somebody who

71
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: specializes in these sort of things. It's it's a place

72
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: that makes iron. Yeah. Yeah, these pipes that they sent

73
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: a sample to this place, they're made mostly of iron,

74
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: but they have an unusually high um of silicon dioxide dioxide,

75
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: which is what our manhole covers are made out of.

76
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: All right, so that's the same percentage. However, it's a

77
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: very odd mixture find in an era when we didn't

78
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: really know how to make fire, even right a consultant energeologists,

79
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: I mean, does this occur naturally, this particular mixture. Maybe

80
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: we'll get to that. Okay. A lot of people think

81
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: that they're using that information to say that these are

82
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 1: alien made. Of course, the aliens. Only one problem with that,

83
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: and that's why would aliens be messing around with iron?

84
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: You know, I think they make them out of titanium

85
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: or plastic. Well, iron's easily found in earth. That's a

86
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: good point, right, It's very easy to find. So you

87
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: know the problem with these iron types is that if

88
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: they are man made, it seems they may be they

89
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: were being made before. There's any way that we could be,

90
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: you know, smelting irons. So they're not man made, they're

91
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: alien made. Maybe that's that's that's one of the theories

92
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 1: right here. They're not naturally occurring. I think it's what

93
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: you're getting at. Well, there's a theory that says they are.

94
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: Well what a let's you run with this. There are

95
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: some theories about this too are scientific, and one is

96
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: the aliens theory are funny doing aliens? So but anyway,

97
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: but you know, and by the way, I don't I

98
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: don't mean we shouldn't, which a lot our listeners know

99
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: that we're not saying that believing in an aliens is

100
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: not scientific. No wrong with that. Yeah, it's it's a

101
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: go to answer. Very often. I think that one of

102
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: the arguments that um one of my problems with the

103
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: aliens theory is that it's it's really narcissistic of us

104
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: as humans to say, well, aliens took such an interest

105
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: in us that they've built all this stuff, you know,

106
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: you know, but you know, actually, you know, they actually

107
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: built in an area, in an area the world that's

108
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: probably far away from where humans lived at that time, well,

109
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: in an area that is inhospitable to humans. So the

110
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: other thing that it was an alien spa. Right, So

111
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: the some of the things that add to this alien

112
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: theory um are that, you know, the pipes travel below

113
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: the lake bed, which again, we couldn't even figure out

114
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: how to make fire. How are we going to figure? Yeah, well,

115
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: and they go horizontally under there, so like you lay that,

116
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a that's an impressive feat. You know,

117
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: even a hundred years ago, it's a pretty impressive feat

118
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: to be able to lay something underwater. How did they

119
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: so it's actually not it's the one through the lake.

120
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: They run under the bottom of the lake bed. So

121
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: so did they use like ground radar to find this?

122
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: How do they find that these they're all connected? How

123
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: they follow they dig up the bottom of the lake.

124
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: But you know, I don't know that. Yeah, these things

125
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: are really small, so I'm guessing they scope them. So yeah,

126
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: that would be my assumption. So then they run parallel

127
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: to the lake bed and then up into the mountain

128
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: and through the mountain, and um they run vertically up

129
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: all the way to the top of the mountain. Um

130
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: where you know, as previously mentioned, up at the top

131
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: of this mountain, it's humans can't live there, there's not

132
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: enough anything. So like, how in inhabitable is this area?

133
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: Like what's the local ambient temperature? I you know what,

134
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: I don't know that information and I can't find it anywhere.

135
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: The same for the like the height of the top

136
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: of the Yeah, I can't find any of that information,

137
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: which is bizarre. Yeah. The only thing you know that

138
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: comes up on searches of mount by Goong is these pipes.

139
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: It's kind of annoying. Yeah, it's very there's probably some

140
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: geology websites somewhere geography website, excuse me, that's that's actually

141
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: got the altitude of the mountain. But what I'm interested

142
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: in finding out is like have they denity archaeological digs

143
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,479
Speaker 1: like on the top of the mountain where some hypothetical

144
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: spaceport might have been to see if there's a remnant.

145
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: Oh actually, yes, kind of maybe. The other thing that

146
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: UFO ologists maintain about this being an alien sight is

147
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: that there's a quote pyramid up at the top of

148
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: the mountain. Um, you mean the peak of the mountain.

149
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: It's not the peak of No, it's like offen the side.

150
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: And apparently nobody has ever tried to excavate this pyramid,

151
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,599
Speaker 1: which seems like highly unlikely, right as like, literally I

152
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: could not find any information and nobody all the reports

153
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: that I read, has said that there's maybe this pyramid

154
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 1: up here. It might be natural, but nobody's ever done

155
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: any research on it, which is bizarre to me given

156
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: the amount of attention to these pipes. So there may

157
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: be some information suppressation going on there. You know, it's China.

158
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: As far as I can tell, pretty much everybody agrees,

159
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: even except for like the craziest of the crazy people.

160
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: Pretty much everybody agrees that the pyramid is just like

161
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: a natural formation on a mountain. You know, mountains get

162
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: weird formations all the time. The other thing that supports

163
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,359
Speaker 1: the alien theory is that there's a really big anecdotal

164
00:09:55,440 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: history within the locals that the Biagogue pipes were created

165
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: by aliens, that they these people ancestors were very frequently

166
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: visited by aliens, and you know there you get a

167
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: lot of those stories throughout history. Um. But you know

168
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: they're weird stone carvings around the pipes and the caves

169
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: and they've been there for a really long time. And

170
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: you know, if the local legend has it that it's

171
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,599
Speaker 1: been aliens, it's in Chinese. And I just have to

172
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: take everybody's word for that's what they're saying. You know

173
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: that it's not like a loose translation of what they're saying.

174
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: It's not like people came from the sky. That they're

175
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: actually saying beings from a different world came here. Okay,

176
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: maybe maybe maybe maybe it's aliens. Um. There are similar

177
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: pipe like structures that have been found um from Jurassic

178
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: sandstone in southwestern United States and some citronella formations in

179
00:10:55,880 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: Louisiana that are generally linked to these pipes. So they're

180
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: they're similar. Yeah, they are pipe like things. The similarity

181
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: kind of stops there that they're like these hollow kind

182
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: of pipe things. They're not made of metal, they're just

183
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: kind of tubes through fossil So that leads me to no,

184
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: so that leads me to the scientific explanations. UM. One

185
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: is that their fostlight cast of trees that were like

186
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: brought in by flood and then incorporated into the stone,

187
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: which it seems to be that the the quote pipes

188
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: in Louisiana and the ones in the southwestern United States

189
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: might actually be that those pipes are really like kind

190
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 1: of twisty turvy like roots would be. They could very

191
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: easily be, you know, fossilized roots, fossilized trees like you

192
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: would notice in a tree. Um. So that was the theory.

193
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: And a scientist, a Chinese scientist who was sent in

194
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: by the government, said he found fossils of tree rings

195
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: also in the pipes. Then and then he said when

196
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: they said, but you know, trees don't grow that straight

197
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: and narrow because they're pretty little. Um, he said, oh yeah, no,

198
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: I mean it was bamboo, but bamboo doesn't grow tree rings,

199
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: so that doesn't totally add up, you know, and they're

200
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: really they're really little and they're made of iron, so like,

201
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: okay maybe and and and that was that was the

202
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: theory that I I didn't I hadn't seen that. When

203
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: I did the research on this story, the first thing

204
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: I thought was it had to be some kind of

205
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: bamboo like plant that then shot a giant tap root

206
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: or had that that had the bamboo had been covered

207
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: and then absorbed minerals from around it. In course, bamboos

208
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 1: naturally hollow. That was the first thing my mind went to, Yeah,

209
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: bamboo ye does grow, which I think is a great theory,

210
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: except for the tree ring the rings in yeah, he

211
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: said it was tree ring. He said that he found

212
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: tree rings, which is like obviously not true, you know,

213
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: And then scientists also say that, um, it's just like

214
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 1: a natural formation, just like, oh yeah, that just formed

215
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: naturally because it was a mix of silicon oxide and

216
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: calcium oxide and just natural, which for me is like, okay,

217
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 1: but do do natural formations Are they hollow like that usually?

218
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: And then also do they like form in so many

219
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: like vastly different situations and so vertically and horizontally and

220
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: connect you know, I think if I if it were

221
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: just like, oh, there are a couple of pipes kind

222
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: of around, that's one thing that there are hundreds of

223
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: these things and they are pretty much you know, they

224
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: run pretty true, like the cardinal directions. They run in

225
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: totally different you know areas. They run vertically and horizontally

226
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: and not like diagonally, not really just like with the

227
00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: flow of anything. So yeah, so the theories. So there's

228
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: the aliens, there's the tree rings or trees that got buried.

229
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: Sound incredible natural formation, naturally formed somehow osmosis. Yeah wait,

230
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 1: now wait, how big? How big your the biggest ones

231
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: of these? Like, okay, so they're they're really they're not

232
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: the biggest ones. Are that big and not that big?

233
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: I think there there are some. Yeah, they're mostly like

234
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: ten to forty centimeters. Well I'm sorry, we're in America.

235
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: Sixteen inches four to sixteen inches and the sixteen inches

236
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: is like it's not little. So wait wait is that

237
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: sixteen across or in circumference? I think it's across? Okay,

238
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: so well six is yeah, okay, so that's some of

239
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: our pretty big chunks of pipe that, yeah, and that.

240
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: But so if if the ones that they find they're

241
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: say sixteen inches across, do they stay that they stay

242
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: that diameter the whole link the pipe. Yeah, so they're

243
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: they're like a reddish brown like pipe, rusty pipe, rusty

244
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: like a rusty pipe color there. Uh. They range from

245
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty ft long to like a hundred

246
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: and thirty feet it's pretty long stretches of pipes. So

247
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: what happens at the end of I mean, do they

248
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: just stop? Do they just break? I mean, do we know?

249
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: Because if we don't know that, I mean that that

250
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: just is part of the course of this story, because

251
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: there seems like there's so much a lot of information

252
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: that's not released. Yeah, it's probably pretty hard. I mean

253
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: without actually digging them up, you know, and then training

254
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: draining the entire lake and then digging them all up.

255
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, so they find they find like rusty, strange,

256
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: rusty scraps around these areas, and strange stones and stuff

257
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: like that. I assume the ones that are preserved are

258
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: the ones that are like under the lake, embedded in

259
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: the shore, are like in rock. If they are in

260
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: fact a hundred thousand years old and they've been just

261
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: like left to the elements, they're gonna corrode and just dissolve. Well, yeah,

262
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: that's the thing they say. If it's full of iron,

263
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: it should have rusted away a long time ago. So

264
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: they seem really rusty. But you know, So I don't

265
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: know what the I just thought. I just think these

266
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: are really interesting. This is because that's front with right.

267
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: I mean, if we've talked about it, so many issues

268
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: have come okay with it's piece of iron or rusting.

269
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: You know, it's gonna rust away. And we've all dealt

270
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: with a rusty pipe that's been in a house for

271
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: let's say fifty years and things falls apart. They're stuck

272
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: in the ground, the rust away, but they might be

273
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: disappeared after a Yeah, I mean, you know, I guess

274
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: the only thing is that they're embedded in rock, right,

275
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: so you kind of maybe they're better preserved. Maybe, you know,

276
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: if they actually they would stay perfectly reserved until they're

277
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: exposed to oxygen because yeah, because like you know, shipwrecks

278
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: for example, Yeah, they're perfectly preserved until they bring out

279
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: the bring them out to the surface, and that's when

280
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: the deterioration starts. Yeah. So I don't know that. I

281
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: think the obvious answer is too he's always got no.

282
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: I mean, the obvious answer to find out what's going on,

283
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: it's just to send in archaeological teams and start digging

284
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: around for other artifacts and the soil, because if the

285
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: aliens popped in and laid this whole network of pipes,

286
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: they had to have left a bunch of other stuff

287
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: stones weird stones. And that's literally all the information that

288
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: there is on those stones is that they just described

289
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: them as like weird stones. Like every single thing that

290
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: you read, even though wiki like everything is just like

291
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 1: oh yeah, and some strange stones are around there, it's

292
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: just like, what, how are they strange? Like, yeah, really unhelpful.

293
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: I've got to admit right now, this story frustrates me

294
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: just because of the fact that we can't get any

295
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: information on Yeah, and it's one of those stories. It

296
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 1: seems as if if we let people in there and

297
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 1: we got some pros who could go in and spread

298
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: whatever findings they had to the world, this whatever this is,

299
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: would be solved and dead and gone. But instead, for

300
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: cultural reasons, we don't hear any of it. Right, That's

301
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 1: what's frustrated. It's it's so easy to just go find

302
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: then the mysteries bigger than we don't know, But now

303
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: we don't have to rely on me. Oh well that's

304
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,959
Speaker 1: why we don't know. Yeah, absolutely, you know, And I

305
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: think that um people are kind of satisfied with the

306
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 1: misinformation because most people are just like, yeah, it's bamboo.

307
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: It's clearly just fossilized bamboo. But you know, bamboo fossilized

308
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: doesn't turn into iron, you know what I mean? Yeah,

309
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: the other things. You know, I have never seen or

310
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: heard of bamboo getting like sixteen inches and die it

311
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: gets pretty big. Yeah, I guess big. I mean I've

312
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: seen that seen like like five six inch diameter. Yeah,

313
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know of it ever going

314
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: to true tree proportion. Yeah. So I just think that

315
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: it's yeah, it's it's really frustrating, and I think it's

316
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: really interesting. And you know, they were discovered in the

317
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: early two thousands, so, I mean it's been around for

318
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: a while. At two thousand too, I think was the

319
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: air that they ten years or so that we've known

320
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: of their existence, as you know, it's spread to the

321
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 1: rest of the world to know about, right. But you

322
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: know that it's frustrating because if they are that old,

323
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: then there are some serious mysteries to be solved here.

324
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: You know, they are definitely artifacts that are found around

325
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: the world that are dated to be just incredibly old,

326
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: to be you know, really past what we think humanity

327
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 1: was capable of that time. So you know, either our

328
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: timeline of humanity is off, or our timeline of those

329
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: things are off, or there's something else going on, and

330
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,479
Speaker 1: I I just want to know, you know, it's just

331
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 1: it's a very interesting. Yeah, yeah, humanity. I mean, you know,

332
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 1: ancient man was able to do some amazing things. Absolutely,

333
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: but you know, smell iron for pipes. Well, the thing

334
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: about it is is like I'm not sure exactly Hell,

335
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: this was I'm not sure exactly when man kind actually

336
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: sort of moving out of Africa and into Asia and

337
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: places like that, and it wasn't really that long ago,

338
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: you know, So I mean I'd have to like go

339
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: to you go out in the the World Wide Web to

340
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 1: actually look that up. So this sounds like this kind

341
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: of predates that. Yeah, it does. Yeah, there are definitely

342
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: some other mysteries that I'm sure we will do shows

343
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: on that you know, kind of tie into the same

344
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: theme of like things we've found that are really old

345
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 1: that should predate human capability but are place object out

346
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: of place artifacts artifacts. Yeah, but yeah, it is it

347
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: is it is that you know, it is true though

348
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 1: that I mean our whole arc and paleontagical history or

349
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: whatever the hell it is about mankind and archaelogical history.

350
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: I mean we might have missed some major important clues

351
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: and maybe mankind actually, some some really smart tribes actually

352
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 1: moved out of Africa way before we thought if you

353
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: would know about and maybe they know the flourished and

354
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: built civilization. I mean they're copy I mean there's always

355
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: that theory of the laws. Civilization is one group that

356
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: left accelerated, but for whatever reason, died off and all

357
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: the knowledge that they had was lost. Because a lot

358
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: of civilizations, because they didn't have writing that we know of,

359
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: transferred all their their knowledge verbally and so when the

360
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: last one died off, all that knowledge was gone and

361
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 1: had to be rediscovered later on. In fact, for the

362
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 1: day when Cleopatra was born, the pyramids were already years old.

363
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: Whoa I didn't like just to like give a scope

364
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 1: of civilization. That's crazy. You don't think about that. And

365
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: I you know, I think they were being built when

366
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: she was an adult. What you will? Yeah, just like that.

367
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: She was part of that. But another fun ancient already. Yeah,

368
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: another fun fact speaking of that part of the world

369
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: conscious pilot, you know, the conscious pilot. Do you know

370
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: where he was born? Wait? Wait, can we back up? Yeah?

371
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: Who is that ponscious pilot? He was the Roman governor

372
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: of Palestine when it when Jesus was what Jesus was crucified. Yeah, so, uh,

373
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 1: ponscious Pilot's birthplace was Nope, Nope, none other than England

374
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: because yeah, actually the Roman Empire extended as far north

375
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: as brought about half of England's Yeah, and so he

376
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: was born in England, believe it or not. That's yeah,

377
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,119
