1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,400 Speaker 1: Low fellow conspiracy realists think it was always for tuning in. 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 1: If you listen to this show for a long time, 3 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:11,080 Speaker 1: then you probably realize one sinister fact about human civilization. 4 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: A lot of skeletons are not where they're supposed to be. 5 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: Where are they supposed to be in the ground mainly? Yeah, 6 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:26,119 Speaker 1: an a line box? Yeah, resting comfortably. Well, you know, 7 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: you see those legends about crystal skulls. You see these 8 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 1: allegations of ancient, non human or extra terrestrial remains in 9 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: this episode, and the three of us ask what gives? 10 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: What are the strangest cases of this? And is it 11 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 1: possible to separate fact from fiction? Ooh, and note this 12 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: episode came out in January of twenty eighteen. From UFOs 13 00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: to Psychic Powers and government Conspiracies, History is old with 14 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: unexplained events. You can turn back now or learn this 15 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: stuff they don't want you to know. Hello, and welcome 16 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: back to the show. My name is Max, my name 17 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: is no old baby skeletons bround. They call me Ben. 18 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: We are with our super producer Paul Decant, and you 19 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: are you that makes this stuff they don't want you 20 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: to know. Let's get morbid from the jump. Why I 21 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: was trying to do that with my nick preface. I 22 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 1: like it. I like it. I think it's a good nickname. Yep. 23 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: Well that's the thing. It'll hit you sometimes. We don't 24 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: know what environment you find yourself in while you're listening 25 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: to this, but if there are other people around, take 26 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: a moment, look around. Don't be super creepy, don't make 27 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: crazy eye contact. Just look at look at them, at 28 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: the bodies around you, and realize that all of them 29 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: are you know, essentially they're They're like their flesh and 30 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: their organs and their eyes and their muscles and expressions. 31 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: It's all like painting over a house, and that house 32 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: is the skeleton. Everybody is essentially a body smuggling a 33 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: skeleton around. YEA kind of like that. It's super creepy, yeah, 34 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 1: skeleton smugglers. And then really, the next time you talk 35 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: or move your hand, just think about it. Really, think 36 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: about your jaw and your teeth and how it's connected up. 37 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: I promise it won't get weird. You'll be fine. The 38 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: hip bones connected to the whichever gocket. All right. We 39 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: are building a very strange skeleton, and that's good because 40 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: that pertains to this episode. Right, we've examined stories of 41 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 1: strange cadavers and ancient artifacts, and past episodes and long 42 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: time listeners, you may recall the work we've done on 43 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: legends of Giants, allegations of alien artifacts, and lost civilizations, right, 44 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: multiple times, No one, don't forget the video series on 45 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: early Man, Dennis Ovans, Neanderthal's Hobbits, and so on. We've 46 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: covered a lot of this stuff in the past, even aliens. Oh, 47 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: no way, not us a couple of times. Well, today 48 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: we are not restoring. We're exploring bizarre skeletons, skulls, and 49 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: other remains of physical relics that, according to some people, 50 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: prove there's much more to the historical record than what 51 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: you find written in textbooks and hold the phone. Turns 52 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: out there are a lot of bizarre skeleton stories to 53 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: go around. So we're going to kind of do a 54 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: bit of a grabby bag of sorts today, right, Yeah, 55 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: definitely a grabby bag, a grizzly, a grab bag, a 56 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: grizzly grabby bag, a grim golgotha which does the etymologically 57 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: that word originally meant place of bones, a place of skulls. Yeah, 58 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: is that where Goth comes from, and that's probably the Visigoths. 59 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: I'd be interested. I don't know enough about Goth. We should, 60 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: we should find out. Or if you consider yourself a 61 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: Goth while you're listening to this, more power to you. 62 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: Let us know. It all goes back to Bauhaus and 63 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: Bella Legosie's dead, and that's all I know. That's very true. 64 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: And like Bella Legosie, many artifacts also have some sort 65 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: of story or legend or even conspiracy theory attached to them. 66 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: But today we ask how many of these are mere legends, 67 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: how many are outright hoaxes? Are any of these stories true? 68 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: It's possible. Let's dig in every day. Yes, so, at 69 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: institutions across across the world, the entire globe, at dig sites, 70 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: in museums and laboratories, experts are constantly sifting through human 71 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: remains architectural remains, in hopes of shedding some kind of 72 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 1: light on our past. Our spee sees humanity in general 73 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: and painting a better sharper picture of our origin story, 74 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 1: where we've been, where we come from. And there's a 75 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: good news bad news scenario here. Let's do the good 76 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: news first. Okay, although this sound queue for good news, 77 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: bad news or something like that. Yeah, let's try it out. 78 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: We should have good news as a really really happy thing, 79 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: and then oh no, let's do it opposite. Let's do 80 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: the good news queue is really ominous like good news, yeah, 81 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: and then bad news is like bad news. We're gonna 82 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: workshop this, Yeah, we're gonna like it though. I like 83 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 1: the direction that's setting. But yeah, well, I think we've 84 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: given a super producer, Paul, some stuff to work with. So, uh, 85 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: you know, take it away, Paul, this will be our 86 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 1: good newsque good. I like it. What do you think 87 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 1: good news? It feels good to me. Hey. So here's 88 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: the good news. It's that we are as a species 89 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: to newly discovering new information, testing and revising theories, and 90 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: we're also applying new techniques. That's really good news because 91 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: we're moving forward, right. The bad news is the further 92 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: back we go in time, the less stuff, the less 93 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: evidence we have to actually work with. Not every skeleton 94 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:27,119 Speaker 1: becomes a fossil's that's first and foremost fossils are not rare, 95 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: but much more rare than what usually happens to a 96 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 1: human being or any animal that is biological that dies 97 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: and they're all biological except for some of the stuff 98 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: coming out of DARPA, right, right, right, the silicon based 99 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: life forms. Yes, when your organic matter, you decay into 100 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: nothingness pretty much into your basic chemical compounds. And this 101 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: is why you'll hear scientists explaining their best guesses for 102 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 1: some animal or hominids appearance based on a few bone fragments, 103 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 1: maybe a jaw, maybe some teeth, maybe a foot or 104 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: a towbone, and you're trying to put it all together 105 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 1: and make a story from what you have. Did that 106 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: ever get to you guys as kids when you would 107 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: see like a new dinosaurs discover Oh yeah, and they 108 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: have they have a tooth. Yeah, well, and a lot 109 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: of times it would be fragments from maybe the entire 110 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: part of the dinosaur. But they're not put together in 111 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: any kind of way. You were making your best educated 112 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: guests on how these things are actually structured. Dinosaurs all 113 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: had feathers and that's not cool. That ruined Jurassic Park 114 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: for me. Plus feathered dinosaurs, I I don't know why. 115 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: It just delights me. So it makes them so much 116 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: more Doctor Seusian, You know you say that, but you 117 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: know my position on feathered creatures and Jed. Honestly, if 118 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: I were attacked by a feathered dinosaur, I would probably 119 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: be more terrified than if I were attacked by a 120 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: lizard like dinosaur. I'll protect you, thanks, buddy, I won't. 121 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I would be like, no, it's very good 122 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: that we have had this conversation in advance. I just 123 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: I'm just saying I would be in your boat of 124 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: like a running runaway giant feathered thing python style, Yes, 125 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: run away, well, evan trying to die for a long 126 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: time now and defending you guys from a feathered dinosaur 127 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: seems like a pretty decent way to go. Might as 128 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: well be a hero stuff. They'll write songs about you. 129 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: I will, I specifically, but it's always like why did 130 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: you do that? Stupid things? The fucking Yeah. The first 131 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: thing I'll do is find my loot and you know, 132 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: make some stuff work. Oh boy, can we get a 133 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:40,439 Speaker 1: loot strike? Sorry, Pauly, So just a background, just a background. 134 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 1: Every time. You could tell we're big fans of super 135 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: producer Paul, but every time we ask him for a 136 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: sound cue, he's got a window through which he observes us. 137 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: And you're you're familiar when you've heard, you know, back 138 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: when Noel was on the Ones and twos. There, we 139 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: look and we make eye contact and we try to 140 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: interpret his body language. We do an okay job. It's 141 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: hard to say. Yes, he's a little hard to read, 142 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: but we try to speculate because speculation is important. I 143 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: don't want to downplay when when we're saying that scientists 144 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 1: today are making their educated guests, we're not downplaying any speculation. 145 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: And there's very there's inherently going to be speculation. But 146 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: they're not just making things up. They're not attempting to 147 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: hoax people. And that's a big, big deal because in 148 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: the past, hoaxes were everywhere. They were ubiquitous, you know. Yeah. 149 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: The most well known example of this, arguably is the 150 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: pilt Down Man from nineteen twelve. This gentleman named Charles Dawson, 151 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:54,119 Speaker 1: who is an amateur archaeologist. He claimed to have discovered 152 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: what he called the missing link between humans Homo sapiens, 153 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: and apes, and well, it's kind of a long story, 154 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: I guess we can get into it really fast. He 155 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,719 Speaker 1: you know, he contacted some other people, they got involved, 156 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,599 Speaker 1: and they were looking at this skull and the fragments 157 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: from a part of a jawbone and some teeth and 158 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: some primitive tools that he had discovered. They looked into 159 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: him and they decided, yes, this is the missing link. 160 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: And then another group of people got involved, right, and 161 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: they did some further testing. As you know, technology is 162 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: growing a little bit as because this is in nineteen 163 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: forty nine. Now we were gone from nineteen twelve to 164 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: nineteen forty nine. They've got some better tools, some better 165 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 1: scientific testing that they can do. Right, they were using 166 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: flooring tests because in nineteen twelve Dawson and the Geological 167 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 1: Society that he revealed his discovery, no can you throw 168 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: me a woohoo? You work too, you know discovery. Indeed, 169 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: they all agreed that this was this was the skull 170 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: of someone who was alive five hundred thousand years ago, 171 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: a long time, half a million years ago. But the 172 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: test in forty nine proved that not only was this 173 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 1: much younger fifty thousand years old, it was also there's 174 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: no way it could have been the missing link between 175 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 1: humans and apes because at this point humans has already 176 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,959 Speaker 1: developed into this Homo sapien form. And then exactly and 177 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: then the biggest thing that the testing discovered is that 178 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: the jaw had actually, like the teeth they were inside 179 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 1: the jaw had been whittled down with a tool to 180 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 1: make it look more human because it was probably an ape, 181 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: part of the ape. It was. It was a really 182 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: bad hoax too. There was one. It came from the 183 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: skull and jaw fragments two different species, a human and 184 00:11:54,320 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: an orangutang yeah, orangutan. And unfortunately with the institutionalized racism 185 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 1: tied up in this stuff in the in the studio 186 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: science like this is also the age of the infamous 187 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: Fiji mermaid. You know what I mean? And I don't 188 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: mean to sound even more morbid, but if you guys 189 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: had an opportunity to collect like fake taxidermy animals, you 190 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: know where somebody puts like a I don't know, like 191 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: a tiger with a bear or gives it a blind 192 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: eagle wings. I mean, don't don't endanger a species for it, 193 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 1: But would you would you get one of those? Or 194 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: would it creep you out? I couldn't have that in 195 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 1: my house. I'm sorry, I wasn't listening on. All right, 196 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna taxidermy knoll, It's official. Oh taxidermy, Hell yeah, 197 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 1: I'd have some taxic I mean, oh, you ever do 198 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: a barbecue resta around the middle of nowhere and like 199 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: you sit down and there's a taxidermy squirrel on the table. No, 200 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: that's a thing. Yeah, Oh my gosh. I was not 201 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: aware of this, but yeah, I ben I would say 202 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: if it was, if it was creative enough, and I 203 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: had a ruin in my house that was isolated away 204 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: from anybody who if I'm presenting at my house or 205 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: having a party, they would never see it unless I 206 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 1: made sure they were going to see it. Yeah, then yes, 207 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. All right, all right, Well, if 208 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: you are listening to this and it happened to be 209 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: a taxidermist, right in, let us know what the going 210 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: rate is on these Fiji mermaid esque amalgamations. You know. 211 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: So when people discovered these extraordinary skeletons throughout history, in 212 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 1: the days before the proliferation of modern scientific techniques, local 213 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: communities would often have a legend, right, we found this 214 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: group of people, maybe they were abnormally sized, larger than 215 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: we are, shorter than we are, and they existed with 216 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: this relationship to our god or our gods, you know, 217 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 1: and something happened and here's what happened, and that's why 218 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: they're dead and we are alive. Yeah, and now the 219 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: you know, with those legends still there, it becomes folklore 220 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 1: or you know, legends. And then now with these new 221 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: scientific discoveries that we're talking about, the new techniques that 222 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: we have, we have this toolbox essentially that we can 223 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: test both those legends if there's any remains or anything 224 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: like that, but anything new that's discovered as well. And 225 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: you can use X ray scans, CT scans, you can 226 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: carbon date things, DNA testing if there's any organic material left. 227 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: And there's so much more possible that we can glean 228 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: from the remains of an animal or a human or whatever. Yeah. 229 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: And in the recent past, think as recently as the 230 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: last few centuries or so, which is the recent past. 231 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: In this sort of field, pseudoscience was widespread and was 232 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: often just accepted as fact. Us led people to create 233 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: fantastic stories and strange hoaxes, or to, despite their best intentions, 234 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: get things completely wrong when attempting to explain and the 235 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: origin or the provenance of a skeleton. That can really 236 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: muddle up the record, you know, moving forward, because things last, Yeah, 237 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: and they they stick around just like we hope you 238 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: will after a quick word from our sponsor, Oh, well done, 239 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: and we're back. This is somewhat of the here's where 240 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: it gets crazy part of our show. But what we 241 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: hope will we'll do the best service to this will 242 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: be to explore some of the examples a Asnal said, 243 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: grabby bag. And there are so many, many, many examples here, 244 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: so many purported explanations, and no matter how thoroughly proven 245 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: one explanation might be, there are going to be other 246 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: people who refuse to believe the story. And let's go 247 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: through some of the top contenders, the most well known 248 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: veterans of this field, to see whether we can find 249 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: some solid explanations and warning friends and neighbors, fellow bone people, enthusiasts, 250 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: bone havers, yes, fellow people also smuggling a skeleton right now? Yes, 251 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: fellow keepers of the bones, fellow keepers of the bones. 252 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: There we go. We do want to we do want 253 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: to let the badger out of the bag. Here. We 254 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: have some really solid explanations on some of the most 255 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: well known examples of this, and in many cases they're 256 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: not what they were purported to be. Yeah, and in 257 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: other cases there are still questions. Even with all of 258 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: the scientific tools we have and they've been tested, there's 259 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,479 Speaker 1: still some weird stuff going on. So let's jump right 260 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,880 Speaker 1: into this, Noel, do you want to start us off? 261 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,439 Speaker 1: Sure do. First example we have of strange skeleton, skulls 262 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 1: and graves is the Star Child. Very close to my heart. 263 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: You guys remember the National Inquirer. Oh yes, I'm thinking 264 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: of the Weekly World News. But but there was a 265 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 1: time where they were sort of neck and neck in 266 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: terms of schlocky schluckiness. Am I right? Agreed? Weekly World 267 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,959 Speaker 1: News is a good one, but didn't inquire sort of 268 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: get a little more legit it edged ward towards celebrity stuff. Okay, 269 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,919 Speaker 1: so legit in quotation fingers for sure, But yeah, so 270 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: the Inquirer. The Star Child has the same sort of 271 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: quality to it as Weekly World News or the early 272 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 1: days of the Inquirer. It came to the into the 273 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 1: public consciousness when a paranormalist named Lloyd Pie surfaced with 274 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:58,439 Speaker 1: a skull, claiming it was physical proof of a human 275 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: alien high Bridge and Pie said that he attained the 276 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: skull from Ray and Melanie Young of El Paso, Texas. 277 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 1: And that was in February of nineteen ninety nine and 278 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: the Youngs, according to Pie, believe the skull was found 279 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: around nineteen thirty in a tunnel, a mind tunnel about 280 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: one hundred miles southwest of Chihuahua, Mexico, and it was 281 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: buried alongside the normal skeleton of a human female. It's 282 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 1: that about so. Neurologist by the name of Stephen Novella 283 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: of Yale University Medical Schools said that the cranium had 284 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: qualities exhibited characteristics of a child who had died as 285 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: a result of congenital hydrocephalus, and the deformations were the 286 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: result of accumulations of cerebro spinal fluid within the skull. 287 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 1: Estimated child to be about four point five to five 288 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 1: years at time of death, which is just heartbreaking, you know. Yeah. 289 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,959 Speaker 1: In the DNA testing that occurred in what was that 290 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,360 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine and then again in two thousand and three, 291 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: it confirmed pretty much beyond the shadow of a doubt 292 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: that the skull belonged to a male, completely human mail. 293 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,199 Speaker 1: But you'll still see this, You'll still see this skull 294 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:27,360 Speaker 1: or photographs of it shown as existence of a cover up. 295 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: But in this case, in particular, as we said, there 296 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: is extensive testing available, and yeah, I would just say 297 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: looking at the pictures online of the starchild skull that 298 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: I remember seeing in papers and in some of the 299 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 1: more it's not the UFO magazine. Well actually, yeah, I 300 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: do remember any UFO magazine seeing a picture of this. 301 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: It does look a little strange if you just see 302 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: the part because it's pretty much the top of the 303 00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: skull and the ocular area and going down to kind 304 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: of the top job, but without really the jaw and 305 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: jaw yeah no lower jaw. Yeah, And it does look 306 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: a bit strange when you when you see it, and 307 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,360 Speaker 1: there's there's this aspect of it as well. One more 308 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: mystery remains, at least in my opinion, guarding the star Child, 309 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 1: and that's the that's the DNA that tests that they 310 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 1: conducted upon the star Child. They were able to conduct 311 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: similar DNA test on the normal female skeleton that was 312 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: found next to it. And that skeleton is not the 313 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: star Child's mother. Oh so there's a strange story there 314 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: and we'll probably never know. Wow, sort of a guardian 315 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: to the galaxy kind of scenario. Yeah, spoiler alert, quite possibly. 316 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 1: And so we we pretty much as a species without 317 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: knowing the individual story of what happened to this poor 318 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: fortunate soul, we do know that it was human the 319 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: entire time this stuff happened, and probably had a very 320 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: hard and painful life. Yeah, and not a very long one, 321 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 1: A pretty sad story. But we can lighten it up 322 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: a little bit, did you you guys? I think we 323 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: may have talked about this on air before. See the 324 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 1: most recent Indiana Jones film. Oh yeah, I couldn't get 325 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 1: through it, man, I thought it was a pretty atrocious. 326 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 1: Oh you liked it? I mean, look like is a 327 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: maybe not how I would describe it. I went into it. 328 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: I got some Indiana Jones back in my life for 329 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: a little bit, you know. I mean I got all that. 330 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: I got the whip, I got the gun, I got 331 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 1: Harrison Ford. It's been five years, right, five years plus. 332 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: I can't believe that that's not true. It is that true? 333 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: Since the Crystal Skulls. Yeah, yeah, I guess I'll I 334 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: remember about it was. There's a part where he survives 335 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: a nuclear attack by climbing into a refrigerator and gets 336 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 1: blown halfway across this warehouse or whatever and tumbles out 337 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: like you know, hunky Dory or whatever. But someone reminded 338 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 1: me that, like, Indiana Jones is sort of a superhuman character. Yeah, 339 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: because that's that's one of the parts of the film 340 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: that everybody remembers is the fridge scene. It's replaced Jump 341 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 1: in the Shark, right right, yeah, and it's hopping the fridge. 342 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 1: That's pretty good. That might be on that might be 343 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,719 Speaker 1: on TV tropes or something. They remember that, and they 344 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: also remember the the the endings. Yeah, in the spoiler territory. Yeah, 345 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 1: let's do it, okay. The only thing that really bothered 346 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 1: me on a personal level about the film, um, despite 347 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:47,880 Speaker 1: the problematic the multiple problematic issues with Indiana Jones overall, 348 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: the fact that ninjas show up with no precedence, no explanation, 349 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:59,640 Speaker 1: just like in this jungle and there's like crawling out 350 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 1: and before you ask, no, they're not ninja esque people. 351 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 1: They're ninjas, like Japanese ninjas. Just the part where they're 352 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,880 Speaker 1: swinging on vines and stuff too, like literally is swinging 353 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 1: like Tarzan. Oh yeah, I forgot about that part. And 354 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 1: at the there's monkeys, Yeah, join him, I think, yeah, 355 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 1: just for a second, just like a dolphin, uh see 356 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: that boat. They're just really just swinging. How many sharks 357 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: were in this movie? Sharks? So so at the very end, 358 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: the reason we bring bringing this up, it's uh, Indiana 359 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,719 Speaker 1: Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal of the Kingdom. Okay, uh, 360 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 1: one of the big mcguffins in there is this skull, 361 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: this artifact, this unknown thing, and it is crystal and 362 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: it turns out that it is a Have we ruined 363 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: the movie? No, yeah, we already gave a spoiler alert. Okay, 364 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: the movie is uh. We we said more than five 365 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: years right at this point, seven I can IMDb. Oh eight, 366 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: we're good, all right, we're good. Paul just told us. 367 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: Producer Paul just told us. It came out in no way, 368 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: so we are free and clear, and that means we 369 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,880 Speaker 1: can tell you that at the very end, they find 370 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: that this skull is one of like twelve and it 371 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 1: was removed from the actual body, the crystalline body or 372 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: skeleton of this ancient alien one of twelve, and when 373 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: you put it back on, it comes right back to life, 374 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: because that's how aliens work. Yep. And this is like 375 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: most Indiana Jones stuff. It's based on a lot of 376 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 1: the why would you say nineteen twenties to forties stuff, 377 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 1: and this one takes place in the fifties, this film, 378 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: but it it pulls from the crystal skull mythology, which 379 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 1: actually occurred in the nineteen twenties. A crystal skulls of 380 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,919 Speaker 1: stone carving in the shape of a human skull. It 381 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: could be like a few inches to life size. Some 382 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: are made a pure its crystal. Those are probably the 383 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,679 Speaker 1: most famous ones. Others might be some other type of stone. 384 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: And they some of them are genuine artifacts from Mesoamerican cultures, 385 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 1: and they're called skull masks or death heads. But the 386 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 1: skulls we're talking about in this instance are those to 387 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: whom some spiritualists attribute extraordinary supernatural origins and or powers. 388 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 1: You can look in this and see the future. You 389 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:32,640 Speaker 1: can get emanations. You can actually project into the past, 390 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: much like a crystal ball. Very similar. Yeah, And the 391 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,199 Speaker 1: most famous of these is the Mitchell Hedges Skull of Doom. 392 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: The story goes that was discovered by a seventeen year 393 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: old Anna Mitchell Hedges in nineteen twenty four, twenty seven, 394 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,640 Speaker 1: while she was with her father on an excavation in 395 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: a Mayan city called Lubuntun in Belize and this. They 396 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: were excavating this because her father thought that he would 397 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 1: find Atlantis. Yes, always looking for Atlantis. In retrospect, a 398 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 1: fellow named Joe Nickel proved beyond a reasonable doubt that 399 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: what actually happened is Mitchell Hedges bought the skull at 400 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: a South of These sale in nineteen forty three for 401 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: four hundred pounds the British currency, not four hundred pounds 402 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 1: of like rice, human yeah, rice or human fat or 403 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: human fat. I don't know, man, I mean there were 404 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: some soapmakers that were just really in need, that's true. 405 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: The story then becomes more or less sexy window dressing. 406 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: The British Museum studied several crystal skulls in nineteen ninety 407 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: six and determined that they were all probably made in 408 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 1: Germany within the past hundred and fifty years at least 409 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 1: these famous ones that are about the size of a 410 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: human natural human skull a little smaller. The recent origin 411 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: explains how they were made with tools unavailable to ancient 412 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: Meso American peoples at the time, like modern polish and 413 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: wheels and stuff like that. She's the genuine ancient objects 414 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: which show haphazard, very very tiny uh, scratches, yeah, and abrasions. 415 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 1: So they're beautiful works of art, but they're not earth 416 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: shattering evidence of any law civilization other than our own. Again, 417 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,400 Speaker 1: not to be dark, yeah, but they are. They are 418 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: examples of a really nice place for me where mystery 419 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 1: kind of comes into reality, at least the actual genuine 420 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:37,679 Speaker 1: Aztec artifacts. Just imagining someone that far back in time 421 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: constructing this thing with tools available to them, and imagine 422 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: having that in that time, having like actually holding that 423 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 1: crystal skull in a time when you know, the most 424 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 1: advanced technologies are fire in hand tools. I mean, pretty 425 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,919 Speaker 1: pretty awesome. Actually that's not true. There's all kinds of 426 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: other technologies that exist at a time, but nothing very advanced, 427 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: and having in something like that in your hands would 428 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: be so mystical. Did you you know? I agree? Did 429 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: you guys ever hear this? This has haunted me from 430 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: schooling days. I heard back when I was a wee 431 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 1: tyke that no meso American culture had invented the wheel 432 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,439 Speaker 1: when they were encountering other cultures. I find that a 433 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:29,120 Speaker 1: little hard to believe. Did you guys ever hear that? No? 434 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 1: No, no no, I'd have to get into that. I don't know, 435 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: but that's I'm trying to imagine building the structures they 436 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: built without any kind of system like that. But I guess, 437 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: you know, okay, possible because it feels incorrect to me. 438 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: And it's weird that when I was a kid, a 439 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,239 Speaker 1: teacher told me that, Yeah, teachers have told me a 440 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: lot of things, especially in middle school, that I've come 441 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: to find. No, no, no, no, what did they tell 442 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: you about the Paracas skulls? Well, I had one teacher 443 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: told me about them. We're just gonna call her missus Bliss, 444 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 1: miss Bliss uh from like a Judy Bloom book or something. 445 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure that saved by the bell. 446 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: But they were found. Did you see Paul getting ready? 447 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: He was not going to let that slide um, So, okay, 448 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: the Paracas skulls were found in Peru. They created all 449 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: kinds of waves throughout the internets in the world. In 450 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, after this geneticist undertook the preliminary or like 451 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: the first DNA testing on these and he reported some 452 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: unknown results. And this was reported by a gentleman calls 453 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: himself Brian Forrester, and that his name because that's what 454 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 1: his parents called him or who you know, whoever named him, 455 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: and so he allegedly found these skulls had mitochondrial DNA 456 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: with mutations unknown in any human primate or animal known. 457 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: So farm well that that turned out not to be 458 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: the case at all. The story about mystery DNA simply 459 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 1: didn't hold up to some more cursory examination. Yeah, that's 460 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 1: the thing. So a lot of people were skeptical when 461 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: Forster introduced these claims because he had a reputation the 462 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: scientific community as being somewhat unreliable, Yes, or a bit 463 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 1: of a sensationalist. To be clear, neither Matt nor Noll 464 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 1: or I have spoken with Forster. No, we should say 465 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: that these skulls in question, these process skulls, they they're elongated. Okay, 466 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: so they do look strange. If you're looking at one 467 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: of these, it the top of the skull from essentially 468 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: the eyes upward goes out into a cone. It's a 469 00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: cone head. It's a yeah, it's a conical shape. It's 470 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: similar in some ways to the way you see a 471 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: gorilla's head. The Simian shape of it goes up at 472 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 1: the back, but even further and more point cone headed 473 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: and lean him back, it does not the cone heads. 474 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 1: But but maybe that's an homage. Maybe that's what dan 475 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: Ackroyd was really going for, you know, perhaps that is 476 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 1: you know, he's our type of person. He's a full 477 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 1: time uphologist now or well he's heavily interested, yes, yes, 478 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 1: so yeah, okay, So they said that the DNA is 479 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: screwy and not entirely human. The problem with this, and 480 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 1: this is a totally understandable thing to believe, but the 481 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,960 Speaker 1: issue with that is the following uh, DNA has an 482 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: expiration date. DNA is also organic matter, and as Matt 483 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, organic matter decays, so there can also there 484 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: can be decaying DNA, but there can also be cases 485 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: where the DNA is somehow contaminated, not on purpose, just 486 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 1: sort of a things happen scenario, right, And now this 487 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,479 Speaker 1: means that we have to be able to separate between 488 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: whether whether there's something alien, extraterrestrial somewhere locked away in 489 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 1: the genetic code you know, that's a show for a 490 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 1: different day, or whether there was something in the methodology, yes, 491 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: that poisoned it. And in this case, we have a 492 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 1: pretty solid understanding of what was happening to create these 493 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: skull shapes, right, Yeah, absolutely, these elongated skulls were probably, 494 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: let's say absolutely most likely created by binding, which is 495 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: this this ancient practice where civilizations would purposefully change the 496 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 1: shape of their skull to several You know, there are 497 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 1: varying versions of this, but the most common one that 498 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: you can find is this elongated skull by actually binding 499 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: it as it's growing. It's like it's like an extreme 500 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:11,959 Speaker 1: version of like footbinding in Asian cultures. Yeah, but in 501 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 1: this case it's well, I guess kind of in the 502 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: same as footbinding in a way that served of your 503 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 1: faturing something that is growing in order to make it 504 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 1: take a certain shape. Yes, yes, the footbinding is for 505 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 1: a largely sexual purpose. This is for like almost to 506 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: show not royalty, but like there's a social status that 507 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 1: was associated a lot of times with this headbinding. Right. 508 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: We still don't know entirely why this occurred. We know 509 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 1: how they did it, We have a good guess, but 510 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 1: it is it is fair to point out a mystery 511 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:52,239 Speaker 1: remains because maybe you know what, call us just a 512 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 1: bunch of know nothings from twenty seventeen, but if somebody 513 00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 1: proposed that we try something like that with our own kids, 514 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 1: or something that'd be kind of weird. Yeah, I wouldn't 515 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 1: want to do that, And who knows what effect it 516 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,799 Speaker 1: has on the brain as it's being developed and all that, 517 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,840 Speaker 1: especially if you're doing it at such a young age 518 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 1: as these, you know, as the skull itself is growing. Yeah, 519 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to mess with that. And then we 520 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:22,360 Speaker 1: have another example, the Atacama skeleton. Is this is a 521 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 1: really weird one. This is probably the one that gets 522 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,280 Speaker 1: to me, you know. Yeah, we we had the gentleman 523 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: on our show, doctor Stephen Greer, who at least introduced 524 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,760 Speaker 1: me to this subject with a documentary film that he made. 525 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: It's a fascinating story. And this is in particular where 526 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,879 Speaker 1: we get to the point where there are still some 527 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 1: questions that I have that I want answered before I 528 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: can make any kind of judgment call on what I 529 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:53,720 Speaker 1: believe this thing is. It's it's really it's really cool 530 00:34:53,840 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 1: in my opinion. So, okay, I don't remember whether whether 531 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: he spoke about this one in our previous interview with him. 532 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 1: Frown acknowledge, Oh no, no. In the interview he does 533 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: not address at least not in in length, but he 534 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 1: was the previous documentary they would make that he had 535 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 1: made before, the one he came to talk to us about. Noel, 536 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 1: can you give us the skinny on this skeleton? The 537 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,800 Speaker 1: skeleton skinny, oh man, because skeletons are skinny. I'm a dummy. 538 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 1: That's great, Okay. So in two thousand and three, in 539 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:30,880 Speaker 1: a deserted town in Chile um located in the Atacama Desert, 540 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: a six inch long skeleton or portion of skeletal human 541 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 1: remains was found and according to a local newspaper, ben 542 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,360 Speaker 1: I believe they gave it a name, isn't that right? Yeah? 543 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,279 Speaker 1: And Ata was found in northern Chile by a man 544 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 1: by the name of Oscar Munios, who later sold the 545 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 1: remains to a Spanish businessman by the name of Ramon 546 00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 1: Navia Osaria. That was nice, rule, yeah, yeah, yeah. So 547 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 1: here is a little snippet from if L Science, a 548 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 1: great blog, and you know, the IFL stands for I 549 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,920 Speaker 1: Flipping Love It, I Flipping Love Science Family Show. They 550 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 1: went into how the skeleton was part of a private 551 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:21,400 Speaker 1: collection until oh nine, and at that time was brought 552 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:26,319 Speaker 1: to a symposium in Spain in Barcelona, and then in 553 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,920 Speaker 1: twenty twelve a group of scientists had the chance to 554 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 1: study this skeleton at length, and they used X rays, 555 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 1: cat scans, and took genetic samples as well, and the 556 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 1: results showed that the chest cavity of Atta actually still 557 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 1: had what appeared to be the remains of lungs and 558 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 1: also a heart inside. Exactly a heart and lungs inside 559 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 1: this skeleton. Now, really fast, if we pull up a 560 00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:57,759 Speaker 1: picture of this and we take a look at it, 561 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 1: you can you can get a better idea of kind 562 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,360 Speaker 1: of what they were working with. So we Nolman, you 563 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:07,360 Speaker 1: mentioned that it's a six inch long skeleton, and it 564 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 1: looks like a fully formed human skeleton, everything from the 565 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 1: footbones all the way up to the top of the skull, 566 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,239 Speaker 1: including the arms and the hands, the ribs, everything. That's 567 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:22,600 Speaker 1: where my nickname came from. No old baby skeleton brown. Ah, 568 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,759 Speaker 1: there we are. Well, as we'll find out, perhaps it 569 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 1: wasn't a baby, but it was still a baby skeleton. 570 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:36,440 Speaker 1: It was, Yes, a tiny skeletons got it. So it was. 571 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,239 Speaker 1: Originally this skeleton Auto was thought to be ancient, but 572 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,280 Speaker 1: this testing that they were doing at this time found 573 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,680 Speaker 1: the remains were only a few decades old and they 574 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 1: were entirely human. But there was some weird stuff that 575 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 1: went on with a genetic testing because ten percent, nine 576 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,760 Speaker 1: to ten percent of the DNA came back as not human. 577 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 1: But there's an explanation for that. It's kind of weird. 578 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 1: But because you think ten percent, nine to ten percent 579 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 1: of this was not human, what in the heck could 580 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 1: that be? But that just has to do with with 581 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 1: the DNA. As Ben said earlier, it degrades over time. 582 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:20,319 Speaker 1: And also there's a certain percentage of error that you're 583 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:24,799 Speaker 1: going to get where you're doing DNA testing, and there 584 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 1: I guess it's also has to do things that I 585 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 1: don't understand. The entire genome when it's being tested. There 586 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,439 Speaker 1: are certain parts that sometimes will fall off a test. 587 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,719 Speaker 1: This segment, Yeah, it gets a little weird and again 588 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 1: beyond my pay grade. But the results of you know, 589 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,960 Speaker 1: ninety one percent roughly being human are well within the 590 00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:47,279 Speaker 1: expected parameters for contamination and degradation of DNA and so 591 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:51,840 Speaker 1: entirely human fetus but so tiny to be so formed 592 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 1: in the way it is. You know, to most observers, 593 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,760 Speaker 1: Ata appears to be a fetus. People would say, maybe 594 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 1: die premature purely, Maybe was born prematurely and died shortly thereafter. However, 595 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 1: to Matt's point, the same scientific analysis says that there 596 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,799 Speaker 1: were a mature teeth present in the mouth and the 597 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,920 Speaker 1: bones were well developed, with the leg bones showing growth 598 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,280 Speaker 1: plates that you would expect to see in a child 599 00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 1: of the age between six to eight. And that's also 600 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 1: from that IFL science article, and it goes on. While 601 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 1: the testing did provide answers, it also raised many more questions. 602 00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 1: How could a six year old child only be six 603 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 1: inches long? And at this point we still do not know. 604 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 1: We don't just mean Matt, Noel and Ben don't know, 605 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,440 Speaker 1: We mean no one is completely sure. Yeah, and it's 606 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,080 Speaker 1: hard to imagine. Can you imagine when you look at 607 00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:47,319 Speaker 1: a picture of this thing, imagine it walking around and 608 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 1: before it was this large, after six to eight years 609 00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 1: it was smaller. In fact, let's take a break. Go 610 00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:58,440 Speaker 1: check this out. If you're as long as you're not 611 00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,319 Speaker 1: driving or something, go check out a photo of this 612 00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:03,960 Speaker 1: and tell us what you think. After a word from 613 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:12,919 Speaker 1: our sponsors. Okay, just a few more examples. I feel 614 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,200 Speaker 1: like we should laundry list some of these. I have 615 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 1: one thing in the notes titled in those days there 616 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,920 Speaker 1: were chaliants because that's such a dramatic phrase. You use 617 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,759 Speaker 1: that line in one of the radio plays we did. Yeah, yeah, yepy, 618 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:31,319 Speaker 1: the creepy demon monologue revealing his diabolical plot. Yeah, there 619 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 1: were giants in those days. Okay, Yes, I am in 620 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,799 Speaker 1: love with that phrase, and it's it's quite dramatic, but 621 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,560 Speaker 1: we say it because it's cool phrase, and we also 622 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,279 Speaker 1: say it because we want to recap our the thing 623 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:47,279 Speaker 1: about ancient giants, right could cover up in which you 624 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,200 Speaker 1: have heard mentioned on our show before. The idea is 625 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,879 Speaker 1: that throughout human history, from the ancient days to well 626 00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 1: within the past one hundred and fifty years, civilizations around 627 00:40:56,120 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 1: the world have been discovering the skulls and skeletons of giants. 628 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,840 Speaker 1: We're talking people who are nine twelve feet tall, you know, 629 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:09,080 Speaker 1: well outside the bounds of what would be expected. People 630 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:12,000 Speaker 1: who believe this story point to photographs that appeared in 631 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,200 Speaker 1: various newspapers of note around the time, or were claimed 632 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,920 Speaker 1: to appear in those newspapers. And proponents of this stuff 633 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,360 Speaker 1: also believe the world's museums are part of a cabal 634 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,960 Speaker 1: that is purposely buying up these remains and suppressing them 635 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:29,719 Speaker 1: or storing them or destroying them. Yeah, And critics point 636 00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:31,759 Speaker 1: out that a lot of the alleged photographs that you 637 00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 1: would find in these newspapers and ones that you'll find 638 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:38,239 Speaker 1: now online are doctored in some way or photoshopped. And 639 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,719 Speaker 1: I can verify that several of the images that I 640 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:45,240 Speaker 1: have found on my personal Facebook feed because of people 641 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:49,960 Speaker 1: and pages that I follow, are most certainly the works 642 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:53,799 Speaker 1: of image manipulation. You can see that there's been resizing 643 00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:58,040 Speaker 1: and compositing of different images. In a lot of these. 644 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,160 Speaker 1: You can see the edges where it's been cut out. 645 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,160 Speaker 1: You can see where there should be shadows but there aren't, 646 00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,200 Speaker 1: or the shadows don't match up. Um. Yeah, it's an 647 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:09,479 Speaker 1: unfortunate truth, but it's the truth, right. And it's also 648 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,680 Speaker 1: tough to imagine that if the world is littered with 649 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:17,880 Speaker 1: giant skeletons, some organization could keep it completely secret from everyone. Literally, 650 00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:21,320 Speaker 1: that's that's that's a big secret. It's literally dozens of 651 00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:26,279 Speaker 1: big secrets, Benjamin, the giant secrets. I had us all 652 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,840 Speaker 1: down on that when there was also you may have 653 00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,839 Speaker 1: heard of a three fingered mummy. This was I had 654 00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 1: not heard of this. This was mentioned through an outfit 655 00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:40,520 Speaker 1: called Gaya TV, and they presented it in sort of 656 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:46,080 Speaker 1: history channel ancient Aliens way, Like, I'm not saying it 657 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,160 Speaker 1: was aliens. This is definitely an alien. I'm saying it's 658 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,080 Speaker 1: an alien, but definitely an alien. Check out this alien 659 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,960 Speaker 1: at all. But it's not an alien, right, but I 660 00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:58,920 Speaker 1: understand it might be an alien. Yeah, this is most 661 00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:03,680 Speaker 1: likely another hope because apparently Gaya has been accused of 662 00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:08,279 Speaker 1: hoaxing or misrepresenting things in the past. However, we are 663 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,759 Speaker 1: not we haven't spoken with the people a guy, and 664 00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:14,719 Speaker 1: I'm not very familiar with their work. These are just 665 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:18,080 Speaker 1: criticisms I've read, and it may be possible that those 666 00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:21,960 Speaker 1: criticisms are subjective or not true. I just I just 667 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:23,680 Speaker 1: want to be fair. I don't want to hate on 668 00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,160 Speaker 1: Guya too much. But I've definitely seen some things that 669 00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:31,440 Speaker 1: they've published that are bogus. You've seen some things, yeah, Okay, 670 00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,840 Speaker 1: the last one maybe is the well, one of the 671 00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:40,080 Speaker 1: last ones is the Kishtam dwarf. Small human fetus known 672 00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:45,000 Speaker 1: as Alyoshenka was found by an elderly woman in Russia. 673 00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,400 Speaker 1: It had an unusual appearance, and it gave rise to 674 00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:52,760 Speaker 1: rumors and extra terrestrial origin. Local populations supported the rumors, 675 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,480 Speaker 1: and they would charge reporters for interviews. At least two 676 00:43:55,600 --> 00:44:00,440 Speaker 1: Japanese companies made documentaries about it in April two thousand 677 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:04,160 Speaker 1: and four. Scientists who studied these remains said it was 678 00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:11,480 Speaker 1: a premature female human infant with severe deformities. Other eyewitnesses said, no, 679 00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:15,480 Speaker 1: deformities can't explain this. There are too many, especially deformities 680 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,200 Speaker 1: in the skull. They said, it wasn't a hoax. It 681 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:22,080 Speaker 1: was a genuine mummified body that was once living tissue. 682 00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:25,120 Speaker 1: But the argument was, you know, some people just didn't 683 00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:26,920 Speaker 1: want to walk away from the idea that this was 684 00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:30,040 Speaker 1: extraterrestrial and was a cover up. But right now, the 685 00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:32,800 Speaker 1: best guest for this, and there's not a whole bunch 686 00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:37,080 Speaker 1: stuff written about this discovery in English, but the best 687 00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:40,399 Speaker 1: guess is that it may be attributed to something called 688 00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:44,080 Speaker 1: the nineteen fifty seven Kishtom disaster, which I had never 689 00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:47,319 Speaker 1: heard of. And I feel ashamed for not knowing about this. 690 00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,640 Speaker 1: Shame for shame, Ben Pole, But you know, for shame 691 00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 1: on all of us week. We had to look it up, 692 00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,200 Speaker 1: and as it turns out, there was a radioactive contamination 693 00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,239 Speaker 1: incident that occurred on the twenty ninth of September in 694 00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:00,960 Speaker 1: nineteen fifty seven at Mayak, which is a plutonium production 695 00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:05,880 Speaker 1: site in Russia for nuclear weapons and also nuclear fuel 696 00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:09,680 Speaker 1: reprocessing for the Soviet Union, and it measured as a 697 00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:16,360 Speaker 1: level six disaster on the International Nuclear Event Scale or INEZ, 698 00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,000 Speaker 1: that's how I'm gonna choose to say it, and it 699 00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:22,680 Speaker 1: made it the third most serious nuclear accident ever recorded, 700 00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:27,760 Speaker 1: behind the Fukushima Daichi nuclear disaster and the Chernobyl disaster. 701 00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:31,160 Speaker 1: I just want to take a tiny little sidebar. Paul, 702 00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:35,880 Speaker 1: superproducer Paul, and myself and the superproducer Alex and superproducer 703 00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:40,200 Speaker 1: Tristan all went and saw this movie Stalker, this Tarkovski film, 704 00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,520 Speaker 1: and it was all shot in and around these Russian 705 00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 1: nuclear sites, and it is some bleak, bleak stuff. It's 706 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:53,880 Speaker 1: a really excellent film, quite cerebral and plotting and very drony, 707 00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:55,799 Speaker 1: but very much worth your time. I would check it out, 708 00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:57,920 Speaker 1: if only for just the visuals of like these sites. 709 00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:00,759 Speaker 1: And as it turns out, it's the filmmaker and a 710 00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:05,880 Speaker 1: couple of the members of the crew died from radiation. 711 00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:10,399 Speaker 1: Raiation but later in life circumstances pretty well associated with 712 00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:14,120 Speaker 1: them splashing around in these uh, these super fun sit 713 00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,839 Speaker 1: like ponds. Was this recent? Was this still in the 714 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:20,239 Speaker 1: theater seventy nine? Oh okay, he came out in seventy nine, 715 00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:21,839 Speaker 1: came out, so it was probably made in like you know, 716 00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:25,440 Speaker 1: seventy five actually was made three times. That's a whole 717 00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:28,200 Speaker 1: other story. But yeah, anyway, I was actually a fan 718 00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:31,160 Speaker 1: of There's a video game series called Stalker. There were 719 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:34,000 Speaker 1: a couple of them. One of them is called Stalker 720 00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:37,279 Speaker 1: Shadows of Chernobyl, and it feels very different or very 721 00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,120 Speaker 1: similar to that, but I wonder if it's actually a 722 00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,680 Speaker 1: completely different. Well, the character the Stalker in the film 723 00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:45,399 Speaker 1: is like his whole deal as he guides people through 724 00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:50,960 Speaker 1: these sites in the film have a supernatural connotation. But anyway, sidebar, 725 00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:52,839 Speaker 1: I just really really enjoyed the film and it made 726 00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,400 Speaker 1: me think of some of the scenes, and it's good 727 00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:57,919 Speaker 1: for people to see, well maybe not good, but it's 728 00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:02,719 Speaker 1: important for people to see the level of destruction and 729 00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,080 Speaker 1: the level of lasting effect these sorts of technologies can 730 00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:09,359 Speaker 1: have upon the world, especially on children who are being 731 00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:13,080 Speaker 1: born right and not to mention animals right or plant life, 732 00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:17,080 Speaker 1: and we know that this stuff lasts and as much 733 00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,920 Speaker 1: as we would like to pretend that we exist in 734 00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:24,040 Speaker 1: our own islands, everything is eventually connected, you know what 735 00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:27,560 Speaker 1: I mean. A disaster from one place, if it's big enough, 736 00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:31,319 Speaker 1: as a disaster everywhere. There was one more thing I 737 00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:35,120 Speaker 1: found that was interesting. It's a bit of a bit 738 00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:38,400 Speaker 1: of a crime story. This is the last one I have. 739 00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:43,160 Speaker 1: I started looking at mass graves of ordinary skeletons who 740 00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:47,759 Speaker 1: met extraordinary ends. I found one in a state in India, 741 00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:52,400 Speaker 1: uttarakand at an altitude of about sixteen thousand feet in 742 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:56,800 Speaker 1: the Himalayas, someone found as many six hundred skeletons buried 743 00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:00,200 Speaker 1: in a place called Rupekund Lake or Skeleton Lake. They 744 00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:03,360 Speaker 1: date from either the ninth century to the fifteenth century, 745 00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,560 Speaker 1: and the local community had a legend about this. They 746 00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,520 Speaker 1: said the remains include those of King Jaz the Wall 747 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:14,080 Speaker 1: because he was disobedient during a pilgrimage and with his wife, 748 00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:17,719 Speaker 1: the queen and his royal entourage, and this angered the 749 00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:21,000 Speaker 1: Hindu goddess Mata. So to gain revenge, she in a 750 00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:26,279 Speaker 1: local deity named Latu created thunderstorms and avalanches, raining gigantic 751 00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:30,160 Speaker 1: stones on the king and his army. And it turns 752 00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,320 Speaker 1: out the legend might contain a grain of truth because 753 00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,680 Speaker 1: the scientists say it's possible that the skeletons cracked skulls 754 00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:40,439 Speaker 1: were all struck by stones, hailstones, and that they died 755 00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:44,759 Speaker 1: in a blizzard or other natural catastrophe. Wow. Not the 756 00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:46,920 Speaker 1: best way to go. Yeah, not the best way to 757 00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:48,959 Speaker 1: go at all, and maybe not a legend at all. 758 00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,960 Speaker 1: But we see how the legend gets built off of that. 759 00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,160 Speaker 1: You know, I think it's really important to know that 760 00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:57,560 Speaker 1: most legends start from a grain of truth, right, So 761 00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:04,040 Speaker 1: that's a pearl inside the clam. I love that. That's 762 00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:08,440 Speaker 1: very Are you secretly auditioning for a Disney movie Pixar character? 763 00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:13,840 Speaker 1: That was? I can see you? Yeah, I plam. I 764 00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:18,400 Speaker 1: love it. I don't want to cut you off. Please. 765 00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,640 Speaker 1: The last one that I just wanted to mention here, 766 00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,440 Speaker 1: and I'm not even really going to get into it 767 00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:26,680 Speaker 1: all the way, but I think you should look up 768 00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:30,879 Speaker 1: a place called little More Priory. Little More is one word. 769 00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,000 Speaker 1: Little More is one word, yes, and it was a 770 00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:38,400 Speaker 1: priory church. That also, what is the what not in 771 00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:41,279 Speaker 1: a nunnery? What is the Is that a priory a 772 00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:45,560 Speaker 1: place where nuns convent? Maybe a convent of sorts where 773 00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:47,880 Speaker 1: there were a lot of nuns who lived in this area. 774 00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:53,440 Speaker 1: And this is in Yeah, it's a small it's specifically 775 00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:55,799 Speaker 1: a smaller one, and it's run by a prior s 776 00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:58,759 Speaker 1: a priores that's exactly that's where that word came from. 777 00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:04,840 Speaker 1: Okay um. So this place in the fifteen hundreds, apparently 778 00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,400 Speaker 1: there was some strange stuff going on with the prioress, 779 00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:12,120 Speaker 1: the person who ran this joint, and the nuns who 780 00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:16,160 Speaker 1: were in there. There was some misdeeds, let's say, in 781 00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:18,200 Speaker 1: the eyes of the people who were in charge of it. 782 00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:21,320 Speaker 1: There's some serious sinning who was occurring. Believe the bishop 783 00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:23,480 Speaker 1: shut it down. The bishop did shut it down. But 784 00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:29,240 Speaker 1: they're ninety two women. The remains of ninety two humans, 785 00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:33,360 Speaker 1: most of them women and some children were found buried 786 00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:38,200 Speaker 1: here and unceremoniously. Some of them were faced down. One 787 00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:41,360 Speaker 1: was buried with a child appeared to be an unborn 788 00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:46,200 Speaker 1: child or you know, a child that was born and deceased, 789 00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:50,880 Speaker 1: and yes, and then several other women who were prostrate 790 00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:54,160 Speaker 1: on the ground which appeared to be maybe witches. And 791 00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:57,880 Speaker 1: there's this whole series of strange stuff that went on 792 00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:01,080 Speaker 1: with all of these deaths. And or you know, skeletons 793 00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:06,040 Speaker 1: buried face down and unconsecrated ground. Yeah, very very strange 794 00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:10,520 Speaker 1: that those are the usual signs I recognize, at least 795 00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:14,120 Speaker 1: that's how they usually put me in. Okay, yeah, well whatever, 796 00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,600 Speaker 1: anybody got to roll over. I don't know why everybody 797 00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:19,040 Speaker 1: thinks that's gonna work. Got anyway, look up a little 798 00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,480 Speaker 1: more priory. There's more to it. There's more to it, 799 00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:26,640 Speaker 1: but just check it out. And we're getting the signal 800 00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:30,959 Speaker 1: from ourselves. We've been thinking about mortality for a while now, 801 00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:34,440 Speaker 1: so we're going to go, uh, we're going to venture off, 802 00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:38,719 Speaker 1: and we're going to ask for your help because we 803 00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:42,000 Speaker 1: know that there are multiple other stories like this, and 804 00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:47,080 Speaker 1: we are actually having we're actually having a really interesting 805 00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:51,720 Speaker 1: time tracing any possible explanations for this. So, for example, 806 00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:53,319 Speaker 1: I don't we didn't have time to put it in 807 00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:55,640 Speaker 1: the show today, but there are a bunch of reports 808 00:51:55,680 --> 00:52:01,279 Speaker 1: of red haired mummies in uh strange places where you 809 00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:04,400 Speaker 1: wouldn't expect to find a red haired mummy, right, And 810 00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:07,319 Speaker 1: one of the explanations for that would be that the 811 00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:11,400 Speaker 1: sunlight transforms the hair, turns the hair red. And then 812 00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:14,120 Speaker 1: there are other people who say no, no, no, that's 813 00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:17,200 Speaker 1: not good enough. What are these red haired people doing 814 00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:20,000 Speaker 1: in this part of the world, with red hair being 815 00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:25,920 Speaker 1: relatively rare trait. So we have just dipped our We 816 00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:30,280 Speaker 1: have dipped our conceptual facasha just a little bit into 817 00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:36,200 Speaker 1: the olive oil sauce of mystery. Oh not all these 818 00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:39,600 Speaker 1: comparisons are going to work. In conclusion, it appears the 819 00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:43,480 Speaker 1: most famous cases of mysterious skulls can be largely explained 820 00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:48,440 Speaker 1: by mundane causes such as genetic disorder, injury, hoaxes, or, 821 00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:53,200 Speaker 1: in the case of Prakash, purposeful deformation for cultural purposes. 822 00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:55,920 Speaker 1: And you know, in that one case, there's a pretty 823 00:52:55,960 --> 00:53:01,680 Speaker 1: compelling argument for freak meteorological occurrences. But also those skeletons, 824 00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:06,319 Speaker 1: other than their grizzly strange death, are perfectly normal. And 825 00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:08,279 Speaker 1: I feel like I have to make a point about 826 00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:11,600 Speaker 1: a coaxing here. Sure, there are loads of individuals who 827 00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:14,680 Speaker 1: claim they've discovered something unusual, only for it later to 828 00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:17,560 Speaker 1: be proven, you know, not to be an alien or 829 00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:21,680 Speaker 1: not to be an extraterrestrial or nephelim or whatever. But 830 00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:24,440 Speaker 1: that does not automatically mean they are con artists. And 831 00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:28,440 Speaker 1: they may genuinely believe what they have discovered, and so 832 00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:31,840 Speaker 1: it would be unfair for us to automatically ascribe some 833 00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:35,880 Speaker 1: kind of motive or internal motivation to these people. Oh yeah, absolutely. 834 00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:38,160 Speaker 1: If if I was the person who came across that 835 00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:42,800 Speaker 1: Autocoma skeleton, I would absolutely think there was something strange 836 00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:46,040 Speaker 1: going on and want it to be tested immediately. Let's 837 00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:50,560 Speaker 1: go right now and let's get this thing tested. Yeah. Absolutely, 838 00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:53,319 Speaker 1: And a lot of these examples, I would the starchild skull. 839 00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:55,719 Speaker 1: I would also want to look into that. If you know, 840 00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:59,000 Speaker 1: I didn't have an understanding of some of the human 841 00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:02,000 Speaker 1: genetic different nations that occur that I have now, and 842 00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:05,319 Speaker 1: I'm I'm, you know, lucky to have that information in 843 00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:09,880 Speaker 1: my life. Well said Matt. Well said indeed, And I 844 00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:13,680 Speaker 1: am inspired by that, and I follow your lead in 845 00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:16,359 Speaker 1: these sorts of things because I'm inspired by you too. 846 00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:19,040 Speaker 1: Oh boy, well, we're both inspired by Noel. Who do 847 00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:22,400 Speaker 1: I get to be inspired by? Oh wait, I am 848 00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:26,120 Speaker 1: inspire me daily?

I'm hungry, all right, Yeah, 852 00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:45,040 Speaker 1: so we are off too. We are off to feed 853 00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:49,120 Speaker 1: our skeletons, hungry for the truth, hungry for the truth. Yes, 854 00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:53,640 Speaker 1: Noel indeed, and dried cranberries and dried cranberries and Philly 855 00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:57,040 Speaker 1: cheese steaks and all the all the beautiful things about 856 00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:00,520 Speaker 1: staying alive. So we're we're going to head off, but 857 00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:04,160 Speaker 1: never fear, we will be back next week.
