<v Speaker 1>H m hm hm Trigger Warner. This podcast may include

2
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:41.759
<v Speaker 1>explicit content that will take you out of your comfort

3
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:46.079
<v Speaker 1>zone and make you question reality. Listener's discretion is advised.

4
00:01:13.719 --> 00:01:20.359
<v Speaker 1>Hello everyone, what I have another really cool addition to

5
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:25.480
<v Speaker 1>the Ancient Architecture series today. I don't know how many

6
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:28.040
<v Speaker 1>times I've tried to record this, which means it's either

7
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:31.519
<v Speaker 1>a really good episode or a really shit one. But

8
00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:35.599
<v Speaker 1>the other day I showed up to work at seven am,

9
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:38.079
<v Speaker 1>like I always do, but we had a really bad

10
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.239
<v Speaker 1>storm and it knocked out all the power in our

11
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:44.319
<v Speaker 1>building and like in a five mile radius, and all

12
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:48.319
<v Speaker 1>the traffic lights were out and everything. So they sent

13
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:50.560
<v Speaker 1>us home for the day and I was like, oh

14
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:53.680
<v Speaker 1>my god, I know what I'm going to do. I'm

15
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.439
<v Speaker 1>going to record that episode for Ancient Architecture.

16
00:01:58.480 --> 00:01:59.280
<v Speaker 2>Tell me why.

17
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:03.359
<v Speaker 1>At eight o'clock in the morning, everybody in my fucking

18
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:07.640
<v Speaker 1>neighborhood started firing up their lawnmowers and all I could

19
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:10.919
<v Speaker 1>hear in the background was people edging up their fucking driveway.

20
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:14.919
<v Speaker 1>Bit to really, every time I try to record this,

21
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:19.759
<v Speaker 1>it's just chaos. But today I'm feeling good about it,

22
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:25.759
<v Speaker 1>so let's try it again. Welcome back, to another installment

23
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:29.080
<v Speaker 1>of ancient architecture. I got a really cool one for

24
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:33.680
<v Speaker 1>you today. I really was inspired by my last episode's

25
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:38.159
<v Speaker 1>research to look further into the idea of mythical cities

26
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:42.879
<v Speaker 1>and kingdoms that were written about and documented, but somehow

27
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:45.960
<v Speaker 1>seem to have just vanished off the face of the earth.

28
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:49.879
<v Speaker 1>If you all know me at all, which by this

29
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:55.719
<v Speaker 1>time you probably do, you'll know that I don't necessarily

30
00:02:55.759 --> 00:03:01.560
<v Speaker 1>believe in myths, quote unquote, but consider them more as memories,

31
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:05.759
<v Speaker 1>memories that were either spoken or written and then passed

32
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:09.520
<v Speaker 1>down by generations until someone goes to look for it,

33
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:15.759
<v Speaker 1>can't find it and declares that it's a myth. And

34
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:18.800
<v Speaker 1>the Kingdom of Shambala from the last episode is not

35
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:23.159
<v Speaker 1>the only case of this happening. Turns out, there are

36
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:29.759
<v Speaker 1>numerous ancient cities lost for centuries that actually dozens of

37
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:33.080
<v Speaker 1>people have risked their entire freaking lives in pursuit of

38
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:35.560
<v Speaker 1>and we're going to be talking about a couple of

39
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:41.400
<v Speaker 1>those today, the City of Gold, for example, Pietti and

40
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:44.560
<v Speaker 1>another location that is just so freaking interesting, but we'll

41
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:48.919
<v Speaker 1>get into that in a minute. So it is believed

42
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:52.360
<v Speaker 1>that treasures may still be hidden deep underwater at one

43
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:57.919
<v Speaker 1>of these locations where locals claim to this day mysterious

44
00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:01.439
<v Speaker 1>lights can be seen in the sky and going in

45
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:07.599
<v Speaker 1>and out of the water at these locations. So what

46
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:13.439
<v Speaker 1>may that imply. That's some freaky shit going on for

47
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:15.840
<v Speaker 1>a city that's supposedly.

48
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Just a myth.

49
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:20.959
<v Speaker 1>I mean, when you think about it, talking about cities

50
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:25.600
<v Speaker 1>of gold, gold was supposed to be the flesh of

51
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:32.079
<v Speaker 1>the god's lowercase. It's still idolized to this day. In

52
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:36.800
<v Speaker 1>every civilization you will find gold. Egypt is known to

53
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:39.800
<v Speaker 1>have had the biggest supply of gold. But take it

54
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:43.879
<v Speaker 1>even further back, the Innachi were supposed to be the

55
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:48.680
<v Speaker 1>gods that created humans just for the sake of mining gold, right.

56
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:52.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean that is if you believe the Zachariah Sitch

57
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:57.360
<v Speaker 1>and bull. That's another episode though, But since the dawn

58
00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:01.399
<v Speaker 1>of time, humans have been upset best with the legends

59
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:05.480
<v Speaker 1>of hidden gold. I mean, I'll be the first one

60
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:10.000
<v Speaker 1>to say I wanted to live in the goonies when

61
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:16.040
<v Speaker 1>I was a kid, literally, And then we have movies

62
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:19.639
<v Speaker 1>like National Treasure, Indiana Jones, and deep down we all

63
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:23.759
<v Speaker 1>kind of connect with those stories. But why I wanted

64
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:28.160
<v Speaker 1>to find one eyed Willie's sunken ship at the bottom

65
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:33.120
<v Speaker 1>of an Italian restaurant with my friends. That is a

66
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:35.600
<v Speaker 1>forever memory in my mind, watching that and then like

67
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:38.600
<v Speaker 1>meeting up with my friends on the weekends and just

68
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:41.680
<v Speaker 1>digging in the backyard and shit. So why do we

69
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:45.079
<v Speaker 1>connect with those kind of stories. It's almost as if

70
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:49.079
<v Speaker 1>it's been programmed into our subconscious to desire and lust

71
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:54.079
<v Speaker 1>for gold, and think of the ultimate symbolism of love

72
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:59.399
<v Speaker 1>giving someone a gold band. Even before the whole diamond craze,

73
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Marilyn and Row, men and women simply wore and adored

74
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:07.759
<v Speaker 1>their gold bands. So that's why we're going to take

75
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:12.000
<v Speaker 1>a deeper look into this whole Seven Cities of Sibyla,

76
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:16.319
<v Speaker 1>which is mentioned in National Treasure Part two. The Seven

77
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:21.639
<v Speaker 1>Cities of Sibyla were all made completely of gold. Now

78
00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:26.160
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna start by taking a little journey all the

79
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:29.759
<v Speaker 1>way to a little place called Lake Guadavida in Colombia.

80
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:33.959
<v Speaker 1>It's believed to be the site of an ancient meteor crater,

81
00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:38.160
<v Speaker 1>which is, in my opinion, what they call things found

82
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:40.560
<v Speaker 1>in nature that they can't disclose what it really is

83
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:46.680
<v Speaker 1>or say, or like it's covered up by saying it's

84
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.399
<v Speaker 1>a meteor crater, like.

85
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh, just say.

86
00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:56.439
<v Speaker 1>It's another one of those meteor craters, Like fuck off,

87
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:04.439
<v Speaker 1>really nobody's buying it. But anyways, Lake Guadavida meteor crater.

88
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:08.879
<v Speaker 1>It's perfectly circular too. By the way, I'm sorry, I

89
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:12.560
<v Speaker 1>just have to say it's perfectly circular, which is definitely

90
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:17.720
<v Speaker 1>something meteors are right, completely symmetrical and shit. Anyways, it

91
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:21.000
<v Speaker 1>happens to be right in the middle of one of

92
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:27.879
<v Speaker 1>mankind's greatest searches, that is the search for El Dorado,

93
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:33.759
<v Speaker 1>the Lost City of Gold. Since the sixteenth century, El

94
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Dorado has been the holy grail of treasures for treasure hunters.

95
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:45.560
<v Speaker 1>The legends abound about a city filled with untold riches

96
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:51.439
<v Speaker 1>somewhere in South America. Yet to this day it remains undiscovered,

97
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:56.920
<v Speaker 1>or so they say. But let's just say it's eluded

98
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:04.160
<v Speaker 1>treasure seekers across time. What are some of the theories. Wow,

99
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:13.199
<v Speaker 1>some believe that the answers may lie within Lake Gudavida.

100
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:18.120
<v Speaker 1>And here's why. Okay, So there was a Native American

101
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.680
<v Speaker 1>population around this area called the Chicha, and I guess.

102
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:24.560
<v Speaker 2>They were loaded with gold for whatever reason.

103
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:27.839
<v Speaker 1>And the ruler of this territory was known as the Zippa,

104
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:31.519
<v Speaker 1>but the Spanish conquistadors who arrived to give all the

105
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Chicha people nice little mums and bombs and big stores

106
00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:38.639
<v Speaker 1>all over their body, called the Zippa el Dorado, which

107
00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:42.240
<v Speaker 1>is Spanish for the golden one, and they gave him

108
00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:48.960
<v Speaker 1>this name after observing their most sacred ritual, which, by

109
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:51.919
<v Speaker 1>the way, it's just crazy to me, like, thanks for

110
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.840
<v Speaker 1>the gold and letting us be a part of your

111
00:08:54.960 --> 00:09:00.559
<v Speaker 1>most sacred rituals, and shit, here's the mumps. Don't worry.

112
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:02.679
<v Speaker 1>In a couple hundred years there will be a Pfizer

113
00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:04.720
<v Speaker 1>shot for this that will make your dig fall off

114
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:11.720
<v Speaker 1>back to the grind like really, but whatever, the Spanish

115
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:15.720
<v Speaker 1>conquista doors get to observe their most sacred ritual. But

116
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:19.759
<v Speaker 1>what was the ritual, you may ask. Well, the Zippa

117
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:23.639
<v Speaker 1>covered in gold dust and his crew would get on

118
00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:27.759
<v Speaker 1>this huge barge and float out into Lake Guadavida, and

119
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:31.559
<v Speaker 1>they would make offerings of gold to the god they

120
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.360
<v Speaker 1>believed lived at the bottom of this so called meteor crater,

121
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:40.200
<v Speaker 1>and then the Zippa covered in gold dust would the

122
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:41.679
<v Speaker 1>jump into the lake.

123
00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:45.120
<v Speaker 2>Swim down to the bottom and over time.

124
00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:49.320
<v Speaker 1>This gold dust would accumulate in the lake. This would

125
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:54.120
<v Speaker 1>also be an offering to that so called god at

126
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:58.720
<v Speaker 1>the bottom of this meteor crater. And so we're born

127
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:03.759
<v Speaker 1>all the miss around El Dorado, the City of Gold.

128
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:06.600
<v Speaker 2>But so flash forward.

129
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:12.360
<v Speaker 1>In nineteen twelve, an excavation of Lake Guadavida led by

130
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:19.080
<v Speaker 1>British engineer Harley Knowles recovered around twenty thousand dollars worth

131
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:22.120
<v Speaker 1>of gold from the bottom of the lake. But what's

132
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:26.279
<v Speaker 1>interesting is he was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I found

133
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:30.039
<v Speaker 1>all this gold right. The real treasure, though, is that

134
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:33.559
<v Speaker 1>he thought there was something hiding under the hardened lake bed,

135
00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:40.159
<v Speaker 1>a city perhaps. I mean, gold is a perfect conductor

136
00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:44.919
<v Speaker 1>of electricity. It's used for so many things, going back

137
00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:47.919
<v Speaker 1>to the whole ancient technology being way more advanced than

138
00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:51.639
<v Speaker 1>we could ever understand. Idea, this makes a lot of

139
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:56.799
<v Speaker 1>sense to me. Could he have actually discovered a hidden

140
00:10:57.000 --> 00:11:03.840
<v Speaker 1>city under the so called meteor cre I mean, there

141
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:08.039
<v Speaker 1>are numerous ancient texts that speak of entire cities made

142
00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:12.559
<v Speaker 1>of gold. I believe they were older than we could

143
00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:17.200
<v Speaker 1>even imagine, older than the Chicha people, older than the Inca.

144
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:20.399
<v Speaker 1>But they were discovered by the Native Americans and then

145
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:25.440
<v Speaker 1>rediscovered by the conquistadors who took over and pillaged pretty

146
00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:31.720
<v Speaker 1>much everything. It's like, here's a perfect example. It's like

147
00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:37.080
<v Speaker 1>the so called Indian burial mounds, like the Serpent Mound

148
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:42.159
<v Speaker 1>in Ohio. They say, oh, it's Native Americans who belt it. Right.

149
00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:47.840
<v Speaker 1>Then you ask the Native Americans and they're like, uh, no,

150
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:51.480
<v Speaker 1>the mounds were here when we got here, and we

151
00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:54.000
<v Speaker 1>just kind of maintained them and plant some flowers and

152
00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:58.200
<v Speaker 1>shit around them. Why are we not taking it straight

153
00:11:58.240 --> 00:11:59.279
<v Speaker 1>from the horse's mouth.

154
00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:01.559
<v Speaker 2>They said they didn't.

155
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:04.039
<v Speaker 1>Do it, but then they still put in the history

156
00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:07.320
<v Speaker 1>books these are Native American burial mounds. But don't ask

157
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:09.279
<v Speaker 1>them about it because they'll just lie and say they

158
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:09.879
<v Speaker 1>didn't do it.

159
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:11.879
<v Speaker 2>Like what sense does that make?

160
00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:15.759
<v Speaker 1>These are huge, Like anyone with an ego would just say, yeah,

161
00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:18.879
<v Speaker 1>we did it, but they know they didn't. They just

162
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:24.879
<v Speaker 1>discovered it and then moved in. Like the Incan city

163
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:27.960
<v Speaker 1>of Pi Titi that I mentioned at the beginning of

164
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:35.440
<v Speaker 1>this episode, So the Incan resided there, but it probably

165
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:39.919
<v Speaker 1>existed way before they moved in. It's thought to be

166
00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:44.399
<v Speaker 1>located somewhere near Peru, where they found a bunch of

167
00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:51.159
<v Speaker 1>red haired, elongated skulls, but that's again another episode. Anyways,

168
00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:55.039
<v Speaker 1>the conquistadors pop up in pie Titi as well. Imagine

169
00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:59.559
<v Speaker 1>that they were a assessing over finding this incan city.

170
00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:04.080
<v Speaker 1>And just by the way, El Dorado and Pietiti are

171
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:09.679
<v Speaker 1>frequently confused, but we're two very, very separate places. So

172
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:14.440
<v Speaker 1>in this documentary I watched to explore's named Gregory and

173
00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Paulino have spent twenty five years of their precious lives

174
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:25.799
<v Speaker 1>exploring the Amazon Jungle, among other places, to find clues

175
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:31.480
<v Speaker 1>to the location of Pietit. Now I could have saved

176
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:34.360
<v Speaker 1>them a lot of time if he would have just

177
00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:39.039
<v Speaker 1>listens in my podcast, Greg Paul Brothers.

178
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:43.519
<v Speaker 2>You are never gonna find that bitch, period. Okay.

179
00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:48.120
<v Speaker 1>This ain't some Nicholas Cage shit. This is real life.

180
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:51.519
<v Speaker 1>And even if he did find it, you're as good

181
00:13:51.559 --> 00:13:52.120
<v Speaker 1>as dead.

182
00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:53.879
<v Speaker 2>You'll get a.

183
00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:56.720
<v Speaker 1>Half assed suicide job or one of those super fast

184
00:13:56.720 --> 00:13:59.879
<v Speaker 1>acting anus cancers or something. I mean, they do not

185
00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:05.679
<v Speaker 1>want people finding these places they talked about in the documentary,

186
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:07.799
<v Speaker 1>all these clues and shit that they've found, And I'm

187
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:11.200
<v Speaker 1>sitting here like, yeah, okay, you have some clues, So

188
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:16.200
<v Speaker 1>what look around. The second you find something like that

189
00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:23.919
<v Speaker 1>to that grand of a level, you're dead. Anyways, back

190
00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:28.399
<v Speaker 1>to the point, the Inca themselves are kind of mysterious.

191
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:32.480
<v Speaker 1>It's said they had temples covered in gold sheets according

192
00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:35.399
<v Speaker 1>to the gun Keystadors, and they also claim to be

193
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:40.639
<v Speaker 1>into a communication with Detis who gave them this gold

194
00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:46.039
<v Speaker 1>and golden artifacts. Doesn't anyone ever wonder about that, like

195
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:49.559
<v Speaker 1>when they see all these golden artifacts and shit from

196
00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:53.720
<v Speaker 1>the Native Americans that are like truly magnificent, like who

197
00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:54.879
<v Speaker 1>gave it to them?

198
00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Who gave it to them?

199
00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:00.919
<v Speaker 1>The conquistadors didn't give a shit though, They just wanted

200
00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:04.240
<v Speaker 1>to take it. They took over the city of Cusco

201
00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:08.480
<v Speaker 1>and went through all the temples looking for gold. But

202
00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:12.919
<v Speaker 1>the Incas, as this story goes, had already stashed this shit.

203
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:16.279
<v Speaker 1>They knew the conquistadors were coming, and sunk all their

204
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:21.240
<v Speaker 1>shit to the bottom of Lake Peree, twenty miles away

205
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:26.480
<v Speaker 1>from Cusco, and none of it has been found to

206
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:29.279
<v Speaker 1>this day. So how much gold did they sink to

207
00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:33.200
<v Speaker 1>the bottom of the lake? Thank you for asking. It's

208
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:39.759
<v Speaker 1>estimated that they sunk billions of dollars of gold to

209
00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:44.159
<v Speaker 1>the bottom of the lake, and you know why it's

210
00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:48.159
<v Speaker 1>never been found, the same reason the cities have never

211
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:52.679
<v Speaker 1>been found. It's not that they don't exist. I'm a believer, okay,

212
00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:56.120
<v Speaker 1>it's just people in high places know about this shit

213
00:15:56.919 --> 00:15:59.279
<v Speaker 1>and it's covered up or confiscated.

214
00:15:59.360 --> 00:15:59.679
<v Speaker 2>In my.

215
00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:05.559
<v Speaker 1>Someone out there knows the real history, not the crap

216
00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:08.799
<v Speaker 1>we're given in a history book. They know the truth

217
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:13.679
<v Speaker 1>behind the mud floods in all ancient civilizations and architecture

218
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:19.000
<v Speaker 1>and buried treasure and cities of gold. But we will

219
00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:22.600
<v Speaker 1>probably never know what that is. All we can do

220
00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:26.600
<v Speaker 1>is put some breadcrumbs together. Like I'm not sure if

221
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:31.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm even convinced that Inca had a way of transporting

222
00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:36.200
<v Speaker 1>practically overnight by foot or horse, billions of dollars of

223
00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:41.879
<v Speaker 1>gold twenty miles away into Lake Parae. I don't know

224
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:43.799
<v Speaker 1>about that. I don't know if they had some way

225
00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:47.200
<v Speaker 1>of doing that practically overnight. Billions of dollars of gold

226
00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:51.679
<v Speaker 1>sounds fucking heavy to me, Okay, But what I do

227
00:16:51.799 --> 00:16:56.080
<v Speaker 1>know is over both Lake Parree and Lake Guadavida, for

228
00:16:56.240 --> 00:17:02.039
<v Speaker 1>hundreds of years, there have been documented sightings of unidentified

229
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:03.799
<v Speaker 1>lights in the sky and craft.

230
00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Not only hovering.

231
00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Over the lakes but submerging into them. And please don't

232
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:15.319
<v Speaker 1>jump straight to aliens. It may be far more complex

233
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:19.359
<v Speaker 1>than that, but I will say this is how the

234
00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:21.119
<v Speaker 1>locals describe the sightings.

235
00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:23.319
<v Speaker 2>Okay, they say they see.

236
00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Little windows or portals, vortexes, tomato tomato whatever opening up

237
00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:29.400
<v Speaker 1>in the sky.

238
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:31.880
<v Speaker 2>The craft comes through.

239
00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:36.359
<v Speaker 1>It submerges into the lake, and then the window closes

240
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:41.200
<v Speaker 1>right poof. Then all of a sudden boom, the vortex

241
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:43.920
<v Speaker 1>opens back up. The craft shoots back up out of

242
00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:46.559
<v Speaker 1>the water, back up into the vortex, and then it

243
00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:51.359
<v Speaker 1>closes again and life goes back to normal. For the

244
00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:55.759
<v Speaker 1>locals to have described this very sighting for hundreds of

245
00:17:55.839 --> 00:18:00.440
<v Speaker 1>years at both of these locations where there's supposedly hidden

246
00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:04.599
<v Speaker 1>gold or hidden cities of gold under the lake, it's

247
00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:10.559
<v Speaker 1>just interesting to me. But that, my friends, is why

248
00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:13.759
<v Speaker 1>Greg and Paul, who worked part time at Hobby Lobby

249
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:19.279
<v Speaker 1>are not finding the fucking city of Gold. Okay, maybe

250
00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:23.160
<v Speaker 1>the inca who claimed they had friends in high places

251
00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:28.759
<v Speaker 1>got some help transporting the gold. I don't know.

252
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:31.079
<v Speaker 2>Seems like it must.

253
00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Have been really important to these lower case gods to

254
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:37.519
<v Speaker 1>get this gold out of the city or hide this gold,

255
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:41.359
<v Speaker 1>or submerge this gold in some way that others couldn't

256
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:43.079
<v Speaker 1>find it, or they could come back for it later.

257
00:18:43.480 --> 00:18:47.720
<v Speaker 1>Seems like maybe, after all, the INCA did know some

258
00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:51.359
<v Speaker 1>peeps that were capable of helping them pull this off,

259
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:56.599
<v Speaker 1>because this gold must have been really important. So what's

260
00:18:57.119 --> 00:19:04.039
<v Speaker 1>the deal with the gold story? Time? Now, there was

261
00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:07.039
<v Speaker 1>a professor in Japan around nineteen twenty four. His name

262
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:12.279
<v Speaker 1>was Professor naga Oga. He figured out how to make

263
00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:17.839
<v Speaker 1>gold literally out of essentially nothing, and he called it

264
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:24.519
<v Speaker 1>the Saturnian model of the atom. I'm sure your eyebrows

265
00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:28.279
<v Speaker 1>popped up on that last statement in congrats. They should have,

266
00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:33.599
<v Speaker 1>because that right there is one of these sacred sciences,

267
00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:39.079
<v Speaker 1>like the idea of the Philosopher's Stone. It's very occult,

268
00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:43.839
<v Speaker 1>the understanding and ability to take inexpensive metals and turn

269
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:50.519
<v Speaker 1>them into gold. It's alchemy, its transmutation, and for thousands

270
00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:54.559
<v Speaker 1>of years king sought out this mythical way of creating gold.

271
00:19:55.559 --> 00:20:01.279
<v Speaker 1>Scientists and alchemists spent centuries trying to invent a way

272
00:20:01.519 --> 00:20:06.119
<v Speaker 1>to do this. People like Isaac Newton were obsessed with

273
00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:12.000
<v Speaker 1>the idea of the Philosopher's Stone. I believe the ancients

274
00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:18.720
<v Speaker 1>were taught this alchemy by the lower case gods. Case

275
00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:25.079
<v Speaker 1>in point, the Egyptians were the worst for it. They

276
00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:29.480
<v Speaker 1>were silly with ancient dark arts and alchemy. The Geza

277
00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:35.359
<v Speaker 1>Pyramid itself is like a huge energy generator. They had

278
00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:41.279
<v Speaker 1>limitless energy and power to practice these sacred sciences. Even

279
00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:47.680
<v Speaker 1>the Babylonians were jealous of the Egyptians. They wrote freaking

280
00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:52.880
<v Speaker 1>letters to the Egyptians begging them for gold, saying, quote,

281
00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:57.160
<v Speaker 1>for gold is as dust in the land of my

282
00:20:57.319 --> 00:21:04.000
<v Speaker 1>brother the Pharaoh end quote. Think of that practically saying, Hey,

283
00:21:04.599 --> 00:21:07.000
<v Speaker 1>we're trying to do our dark arts and shit too. Man.

284
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:09.119
<v Speaker 1>If you could spot us some gold for.

285
00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:12.880
<v Speaker 2>Our moloch rituals, brother, we'd sure appreciate it.

286
00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:21.359
<v Speaker 1>So what is the significance why gold? It seems to

287
00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:25.279
<v Speaker 1>have cost a lot of people their lives and seems

288
00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:32.440
<v Speaker 1>to be sacred in multiple capacities. I mean, no one

289
00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:37.160
<v Speaker 1>is risking their lives for honks of sterling silver, but

290
00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:40.559
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the day, they're still both hunks

291
00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:45.200
<v Speaker 1>of metal. So what is behind the obsession for gold

292
00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:48.640
<v Speaker 1>and why was it so important to the lower case gods.

293
00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:58.519
<v Speaker 1>So let's flush way forward into the future California gold Rush. Now,

294
00:21:58.680 --> 00:22:04.319
<v Speaker 1>in regards to California's Native people, one hundred and twenty

295
00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:10.119
<v Speaker 1>thousand Native Americans died of disease, starvation, and homicide during.

296
00:22:09.880 --> 00:22:11.279
<v Speaker 2>The gold rush.

297
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:13.359
<v Speaker 1>Now, let's talk about the miners.

298
00:22:13.799 --> 00:22:14.839
<v Speaker 2>If I've seen.

299
00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:17.960
<v Speaker 1>One haunted gold mine episode on Ghost Adventures, I've seen

300
00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:23.119
<v Speaker 1>fuck a thousand, hundreds of thousands of miners dead as

301
00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:29.640
<v Speaker 1>fuck mining for gold. Want to get biblical? The story

302
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:32.720
<v Speaker 1>of the Golden Calf is told in the Bible in

303
00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Exodus thirty two. The story goes that while Moses was

304
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:40.759
<v Speaker 1>away on Mount Sinai for forty days and nights receiving

305
00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:46.240
<v Speaker 1>the Ten Commandments, the Israelites became concerned that he would

306
00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:51.680
<v Speaker 1>not return because it had been forty days, and they

307
00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:59.039
<v Speaker 1>asked Aaron, Moses's brother, to make them a god. So

308
00:22:59.079 --> 00:23:03.359
<v Speaker 1>what did Aaron do? Airing collected gold earrings and gold

309
00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:10.000
<v Speaker 1>ornaments from the Israelites and fashioned a golden calf idol

310
00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:15.599
<v Speaker 1>from them, declaring, this is your God, oh Israel, who

311
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:21.400
<v Speaker 1>brought you out of the land of Egypt. The Israelites

312
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:26.200
<v Speaker 1>then worshiped the golden calf instead of the real God,

313
00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:31.200
<v Speaker 1>and when Moses returned with the tablets. Boy, he was

314
00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:35.680
<v Speaker 1>in raged. He ripped some new assholes that night. He

315
00:23:35.960 --> 00:23:39.839
<v Speaker 1>could not stand to see the Israelites worshiping this golden calf.

316
00:23:40.839 --> 00:23:46.759
<v Speaker 1>So Moses, in a rage fest, smashed the freaking tablets

317
00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:50.599
<v Speaker 1>that it took him forty days and nights to get.

318
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:55.720
<v Speaker 1>And he ordered the calf to be melted down, ground

319
00:23:55.759 --> 00:24:00.680
<v Speaker 1>into powder and get this, mix it with water, right,

320
00:24:01.799 --> 00:24:05.960
<v Speaker 1>and then he forced the Israelites to drink this cocktail.

321
00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:10.799
<v Speaker 1>And what was the purpose of that, Well, some say

322
00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:13.880
<v Speaker 1>this was meant to reduce the idol to the level

323
00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:19.079
<v Speaker 1>of human waste. I mean, I can just hear Moses now, honestly, truly,

324
00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:24.240
<v Speaker 1>I'd be like you, impatient ass calf building no better

325
00:24:24.279 --> 00:24:30.279
<v Speaker 1>than Babylonian ass bitches. What the hell Now, Moses got

326
00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:32.640
<v Speaker 1>to go back up for another forty days and nights

327
00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:34.119
<v Speaker 1>and get a noose, set of tabs.

328
00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:35.119
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god.

329
00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:37.720
<v Speaker 1>The point is, though he had them melt it down,

330
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:39.839
<v Speaker 1>mix it with water, everybody had to drink it and

331
00:24:39.839 --> 00:24:41.960
<v Speaker 1>then shit it out or piss it out or whatever

332
00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:49.000
<v Speaker 1>to symbolize that the gold is the equivalent to human waste.

333
00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:52.880
<v Speaker 1>But it was so very important to the lower case gods,

334
00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:56.160
<v Speaker 1>so it just makes me think it's part of these

335
00:24:56.519 --> 00:25:01.960
<v Speaker 1>sacred sciences. It's part of these dark rituals, the worshiping

336
00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:06.920
<v Speaker 1>of gold, golden cities, like these golden artifacts that were

337
00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:11.400
<v Speaker 1>given to the Native Americans. The point is, though, of

338
00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:17.519
<v Speaker 1>that whole story about Moses, the golden calf represented the

339
00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:22.799
<v Speaker 1>pagan worship practices of the surrounding people. Hey, yo, the

340
00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:26.759
<v Speaker 1>Egyptians and the Babylonians. Right. The bull was supposed to

341
00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:31.759
<v Speaker 1>be a symbol of strength and fertility, and the Israelites

342
00:25:31.799 --> 00:25:36.599
<v Speaker 1>were already familiar with Egyptian bull gods. Bulls were also

343
00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:43.079
<v Speaker 1>commonly used for sacrifice, so the image of a bull

344
00:25:43.240 --> 00:25:48.839
<v Speaker 1>as a god was an abomination and idolatry of false gods.

345
00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:54.160
<v Speaker 1>So I think that's why in the New Testament, Jesus

346
00:25:54.160 --> 00:25:59.759
<v Speaker 1>said to Matthew, build up your treasures in heaven, not

347
00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:06.160
<v Speaker 1>on earth, For where your treasure is there, your heart

348
00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:11.039
<v Speaker 1>will be also. So what do you think? What is

349
00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:15.319
<v Speaker 1>the gold connection, the significance and the desire of man

350
00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:18.440
<v Speaker 1>to have it, to risk their lives for it.

351
00:26:20.079 --> 00:26:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Are we all just still.

352
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:28.319
<v Speaker 1>Looking for one eyed Willie's treasure chest thanks to Spielberg,

353
00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:32.480
<v Speaker 1>which I think we all know what he was into

354
00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:34.039
<v Speaker 1>with his one eyed Willie.

355
00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:36.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, just something to think about.

356
00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:43.480
<v Speaker 1>But did these cities of gold actually exist? El Dorado

357
00:26:43.759 --> 00:26:48.359
<v Speaker 1>Pi td. These are actually just two of what is known,

358
00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:52.680
<v Speaker 1>as I said earlier, the Seven Cities of Sibyla that

359
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:58.640
<v Speaker 1>was mentioned in National Treasure Part two. They claim, by

360
00:26:58.680 --> 00:27:02.720
<v Speaker 1>the way, in National Treasure Part two that Mount Rushmore

361
00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:07.160
<v Speaker 1>in the Black Hills of South Dakota was nothing more

362
00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:10.559
<v Speaker 1>than a cover up to hide one of these seven

363
00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Cities of Gold. In the movie, they call it Sibyla,

364
00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:18.400
<v Speaker 1>But in real life there are seven cities of Sebela.

365
00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:21.240
<v Speaker 1>One of them is supposed to be located within the

366
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:24.279
<v Speaker 1>Black Hills, and they made Mount Rushmore as a cover job.

367
00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:29.839
<v Speaker 1>There's always some truth in movies, you know. When I

368
00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:33.559
<v Speaker 1>watched National Treasure Part one and Part two recently, trying

369
00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:40.200
<v Speaker 1>to kind of decode some of the messages in those movies,

370
00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:42.920
<v Speaker 1>I thought that was I mean, they might as well,

371
00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:45.079
<v Speaker 1>especially casting Nicholas Kgeass.

372
00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:47.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there is some truth in those movies.

373
00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:52.640
<v Speaker 1>But the full list of the seven Cities of Gold

374
00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:59.039
<v Speaker 1>where Eldorado Pai Titi, city of the Caesars Lake Palm.

375
00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:02.079
<v Speaker 1>You know, I really just don't know how to pronounce

376
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:05.759
<v Speaker 1>this lake perh bah blah blah blah blah, and then

377
00:28:05.880 --> 00:28:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Antila and Quavera are these cities and people risk their

378
00:28:13.440 --> 00:28:18.000
<v Speaker 1>lives to find them and are for one point in history,

379
00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:21.599
<v Speaker 1>our money was supposed to be backed by gold, right

380
00:28:21.720 --> 00:28:26.319
<v Speaker 1>gold backs. Now our dollar is completely worthless. You might

381
00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:31.880
<v Speaker 1>as well wipe your ass with it. I just I

382
00:28:31.920 --> 00:28:35.839
<v Speaker 1>feel like this is intrinsic to what is going on

383
00:28:36.119 --> 00:28:41.240
<v Speaker 1>in the world now and the idea that the Bible

384
00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:45.960
<v Speaker 1>tells us in more ways than one, over and over

385
00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:49.400
<v Speaker 1>again to build up our treasures in heaven and not

386
00:28:49.559 --> 00:28:55.440
<v Speaker 1>on earth in worldly possessions. And like Jesus was literally

387
00:28:55.519 --> 00:28:59.240
<v Speaker 1>sold out for seven pieces of silvers thirty pieces of

388
00:28:59.279 --> 00:29:02.000
<v Speaker 1>silver like that. He didn't even get gold, he got

389
00:29:02.039 --> 00:29:07.559
<v Speaker 1>freaking silver. So I just, you know, I wonder what

390
00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:11.880
<v Speaker 1>the significance is sometimes to the obsession with alchemy and

391
00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:14.839
<v Speaker 1>transmutation in the Philosopher's Stone. They put that shit in

392
00:29:14.960 --> 00:29:20.359
<v Speaker 1>freaking Harry Potter the Philosopher's Stone, and I just it's

393
00:29:20.519 --> 00:29:26.319
<v Speaker 1>very very interesting to me. So anyways, thanks for joining

394
00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:30.200
<v Speaker 1>me for another episode of Ancient Architecture. I hope you

395
00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:35.440
<v Speaker 1>learned some cool shit today and is always I'll catch

396
00:29:35.440 --> 00:30:03.319
<v Speaker 1>it on the next time. P
