00:05:59,639 --> 00:06:02,439
the archeological excavations of ancient Maria.

51
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 5: Yirka, Avatslav stali prataimsti terres de la giochi.

52
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 3: Yurka and Vatslov stood before the ruins, ready to uncover

53
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,959
the secrets that had lain there for millennia.

54
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 5: Yirka naiva ni nemos t.

55
00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:34,439
Speaker 3: Yerka, his eyes filled with excitement and anticipation, couldn't hide

56
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:34,920
his thrill.

57
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:44,360

00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 3: Vautslov, on the other hand, maintained calm and focused on

59
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:51,560
taking notes in his notebook.

60
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:58,079
Speaker 1: Podovistiocirkas m.

61
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 3: According to legends, there's something hidden here, Yurka said, with

62
00:07:03,319 --> 00:07:03,759
a smile.

63
00:07:04,319 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 5: Iteo hero veen idea niches nasitka nizd him nunoski.

64
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 3: It's Halloween, the ideal time to meet the ghosts of

65
00:07:14,759 --> 00:07:15,240
the past.

66
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 5: Vatslav sizamrachil aputasla.

Speaker 1: Nevuli du hum.

70
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:36,959
Speaker 3: We're here for science, not ghosts.

71
00:07:37,639 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 5: Ye ti lem bastardavni artefact okterm vest.

72
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 3: Their goal was to find an ancient artifact that villagers

73
00:07:50,639 --> 00:07:52,240
had whispered about for generations.

74
00:07:52,959 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 5: Nisni de varudostmiuin na naherovin vece zagili.

75
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,199
Speaker 3: The local people warned of strange occurrences they supposedly experienced

76
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:08,959
in these ruins.

77
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: On Halloween night, a la Yirka senjlvestsvosvid vosti avatslav ach

nerat rona sledoval.

79
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,639
Speaker 3: But Yurka was led by his curiosity, and Vautslov albeit

80
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:24,920
reluctantly followed him.

81
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:30,279
Speaker 5: Mil potsit jemusi na mlade ho call gudavatposor.

82
00:08:31,879 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 3: He felt he needed to keep an eye on his

83
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:34,639
young colleague.

84
00:08:34,879 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: Distope d Ruin Postroijo Tereuchovali and Croqui nerospadai se kamenech.

85
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,639
Speaker 3: As they entered the ruins, they were struck by a

86
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:54,080
cold silence, broken only by footsteps on crumbling stones naid.

87
00:08:53,759 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: No za slivs vashtnizvok.

88
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 3: Suddenly they heard a strange sound zdem senot a chilling

89
00:09:05,279 --> 00:09:06,519
whisper carried through the air.

90
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: So bilo, what was that? Zaepta Jirka vites vidavi.

91
00:09:14,639 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 3: Vistrashni whispered Yurka, more curious than frightened.

92
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: Vatslaslal.

93
00:09:23,799 --> 00:09:25,039
Speaker 3: Vatsov cleared his throat.

94
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:31,759
Speaker 5: Vitreovigil ale e tikil yexemud.

95
00:09:33,639 --> 00:09:36,039
Speaker 3: The wind, he replied, but he felt his breath.

96
00:09:35,919 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 5: Quickening pod asdik misto gestalikamen.

97
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,159
Speaker 3: They continued through the dark corridors until they reached a

98
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,440
place where a strangely shaped stone stood.

99
00:09:52,399 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 5: Joirkavedel utikil zaviv vashtni energie.

100
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,919
Speaker 3: When you're lifted it, he felt a tremor of unusual energy.

101
00:10:03,639 --> 00:10:08,159
Speaker 5: Artefact ve ruku serrosail slabim svim.

102
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,399
Speaker 3: The artifact in his hands glowed with a faint light.

103
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 5: Nayid nosachi ruin probie.

104
00:10:18,919 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 3: Suddenly, strange phenomena began happening around the ruins.

105
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 5: Zukisavaime yakobi knimprov la historiamma.

106
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,919
Speaker 3: The sounds grew louder, as if history itself was speaking

107
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:35,240
to them.

108
00:10:35,919 --> 00:10:43,279
Speaker 5: Vatslav Nini zahuat istrachem nalehl mussi ma prich.

109
00:10:45,039 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 3: Vatslav, now seized by fear, urged we must.

110
00:10:47,759 --> 00:10:52,799
Speaker 5: Leave yer Katsi kill jesuit kolemne za China.

111
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,799
Speaker 3: Yerka felt the world around him begin to change.

112
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:04,919
Speaker 5: That is artefactus vita anivsna schet.

113
00:11:06,639 --> 00:11:10,399
Speaker 3: The glow from the artifact intensified, and misty silhouettes began

114
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:11,360
to hover around them.

115
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: Billi e costini minulostic ovili abhra nilisvetaemsti.

116
00:11:20,759 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 3: They were like shadows of the past, appearing to protect

117
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:24,879
their secrets.

118
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 5: Ale mist picrika ut apokoru.

119
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 3: But instead of horror, Yurka felt reverence and humility.

120
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 5: Uvi doo milsodi apti bi mai rupchi visnam.

121
00:11:42,279 --> 00:11:45,039
Speaker 3: He realized that these legends and stories held deeper.

122
00:11:44,879 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 5: Meaning respectov al nini robi histori afechno so sebon.

123
00:11:53,279 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 3: He now respected history more deeply and all that it

124
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:56,480
carried with.

125
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 5: It artefat spo avevilily.

126
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,759
Speaker 3: He quickly placed the artifact back in its place, and

127
00:12:11,879 --> 00:12:14,759
the moment he did, all the strange phenomena ceased.

128
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:20,039
Speaker 1: Vatslav sisulevocho.

129
00:12:19,799 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 3: Vatslov's side with reliefairispatke dovesnitz obavieguos When they returned to

130
00:12:32,279 --> 00:12:35,000
the village, both knew their experience was unique.

131
00:12:35,639 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 5: Yirkaviglima avatslavna jehistori masvatam si tera alecteres is as respektova.

132
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,879
Speaker 3: Yorka now saw legends through different eyes, and Vatslop acknowledged

133
00:12:57,919 --> 00:13:00,159
for the first time that history holds secrets that we

134
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,279
may never unveil, but that deserve our respect.

135
00:13:03,639 --> 00:13:15,799
Speaker 1: Them razzlisnovia nala zenim poro uzto kumnuloschi theo iglishponoza oba

137
00:13:19,039 --> 00:13:21,799
Speaker 3: In the darkness of the autumn night, the two returned

138
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,840
with newfound understanding and respect for the past full of mysteries.

139
00:13:25,879 --> 00:13:27,200
They both promised to protect.

140
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 2: Today's vocabulary words are coming up right after this commercial break.
