Most valuable things can be secured with a lock and a key
but there are some things that require security like you've never seen before
from documents and records that could change the fabric of society
to secret recipes treasures and cold hard cash
these are the most heavily guarded places on the face of the planet
fort knox from the outside fort knox looks like a maximum security prison
it's made completely of blast proof concrete there's watchtowers in about
four different fences there's even an army tank stationed
outside but inside is not prisoners instead it's
gold fort knox is said to be one of the
largest gold reserves on earth thousands of tons of gold bars kept
inside this building and incredibly valuable and important
documents are also stored here for example the declaration of
independence and magna carta are both stored inside fort knox it used to be
known as the united states bullion depository this states backed when the
us dollar was tied to gold now that it's not this makes
gold even more valuable fort knox was built in 1936 but now has
security like nowhere else on the planet they have laser beams to check movements
they also have gigantic security centers which monitor the place 24 7.
and the most elite armed officers are selected from the us army
these guards have machine guns and grenades too
the windows of this place are bullet and fireproof
they're also one way meaning that only people inside can see outside not vice
versa the vault door is very thick and weighs 22 tons
and it's said that this place could survive an atomic bomb hit
coca-cola vault how do you make coca-cola
if you're watching this you likely can't answer that question because only two
people in the world can that's right at any time only two people
on planet earth know the recipe to coca-cola this is in
case one of them passes away the people who know the recipe also
can't fly in the same plane at the same time that's because if they both passed
away the recipe would be lost forever these two people are coca-cola
executives and they're the only people who have the
code to get into the coca-cola recipe vault this vault is inside the
world of coca-cola in atlanta georgia the recipe is sometimes taken
out of the vault for display during which a dramatic light and fog show
happens at the same time before it was stored in the coca-cola
world they used to put it in the suntrust bank in atlanta

new mexico it's pretty near to area 51 but the underground vault contains
the most sensitive secrets of the church of scientology
many criticize scientology for their strange beliefs
inside their vaults are the original writings from the religions founder
l ron hubbard they're stored in titanium plates and casings
they also have top-notch security guards at the vault 24 7. there are also
maps and plans to help guide the incarnation of hubbard to the next
right place that is because they believe in reincarnation
vatican secret archives the vatican's secret archives contained
documents that would change the world as we knew it if they were
released they hold the church's most sensitive secrets to get in you need to
enter through the porter santa anna you then need to show your vatican
archive security card this is only ever given to scientific
researchers and scholars and of course high up people inside the
catholic church for example the pope inside the archives there's around 35
000 records and documents and almost all of these have been
chipped with an rfid tag this means they can be tracked no matter
where they're taken on earth many have questioned and criticized how
secure these documents are it makes people think what are they
hiding under there park safe car park it may surprise you
to learn that a car park makes the list of the most heavily guarded places on
earth but this car park is like no other in
fact it's a car thief's worst nightmare it's also known as bold lane car park
and you can find it in derby uk the car park was opened in
1974. at the time it was a normal car park but
they soon realized they had a big problem
there was lots of homelessness and crime in the area and many cars got broken
into that's why in the 90s they went crazy
with security they have very tight restrictions on
entry they also have motion sensors and a lockdown mode in
case your car is in danger there's cameras everywhere and even
motion sensors in the ground underneath the cars
since these were installed crime in this car park has dropped to zero
and that's why it's trusted by many people with luxury cars
many people who have car collections park their car in the park safe car park
that's because it's more safe than their own garage and some of the most valuable
cars on earth are parked here white house
the us president is one of the most powerful people in the world
and that's why his home and office must be secure 24
7. there are many iron fences surrounding the house

there are even people with snipers on the roof there's over 3
200 secret service agents at any given time there are also canine units
stationed all around the white house the number of secret service at the
white house at any given time is classified but seeing as no one's ever
broken into the white house i would say the president is pretty well protected
zurich vaults
it's almost a cliche now how the world's elite have swiss bank accounts
but why is this why switzerland well it's because of a special swiss law
this states that a swiss bank can't discuss anyone's account with anyone
even law enforcement this means your assets are totally
protected because their existence is classified these safety deposit boxes in
the zurich vault require three keys to open
armed guards and constant surveillance are also used here
granite mountain records vault this place is also known as the mormon
church's secret vaults this vault contains
documents which are priceless to the church
the net worth of the mormon church is said to be around 160 billion dollars
this would make them about as rich as jeff bezos the world's richest man
the temperature inside the vault is controlled by constant monitors
there are also heat and motion sensors everywhere the records date back
hundreds of years and they include many family history
records and secret documents the vault is buried under 700 feet of mountain
rock and the vault's door weighs a whopping
14 tons it's said to be able to withstand a
nuclear blast and the public is strictly prohibited from entering this
vault at any time new york federal reserve bank
ever wondered where most of the world's money is from well it's from
the fed or federal reserve bank there are 12 of these banks but the most
heavily guarded is the one in new york the vault is located
underneath the streets of manhattan the security is so good that foreign
countries even keep their gold there the vault is 80 feet below street level
and it contains an estimated 10 of the world's gold reserves only three
people in the world can grant access to the vault
two of those are federal reserve staff and one is a member of the fed's
internal audit staff there's a gigantic nine-ton volt door
there's also constant surveillance cameras and armed guards outside
area 51 by now everyone knows what area 51 is
some say it's a secret base where aliens are kept and
others say it's a place where the us military tries out new technology
for example driverless planes whatever it is they do not want people anywhere
near it check out this map i made showing the
armed perimeter around area 51. there's motion detectors all around this
perimeter this means that even if a mouse crossed over they would know about
it their security cameras all over the
place and heat sensors too now you may say is this place really
that secret after all you can see it from google maps
well what you can't see is underground according to x engineers from area 51
almost all of the advanced technology is housed underground
this wouldn't exactly be unusual for a military base because
that's the case with pretty much every other one but the question is what are
they hiding from the public the base was built in the 1950s but the
us government only confirmed it existed in 2012.
