Hello my curious! Be all...
Weeeeeeeeeelcome to a new video.
Throughout history there have been dozens of objects with supposed powers
that nobody has been able to explain.
And since I know you like history and chaos as much as I do...
Although that has nothing to do!
Now I made a compilation for you with 10 of the most powerful objects known in history.
From a powerful ring that belonged to an ancient Egyptian god,
to a chair that can kill you instantly if you sit on it.
This sounds scary, right?
Just before starting the topic, I have a small question for you.
Do you remember that in my last video I told you about one of the most terrifying places
that have been found on the ocean floor?
in case you do not remember and it serves as a clue... The name of that place starts with Castle...
-What a stupid thing! -That has nothing to do, Benny.
As we always do, I'm going to leave these 4 options on your screen.
Choose the option that you think is correct and write it down below in the comments at this moment
because at the end of the video, I'll tell you the full name of that tenebrous castle,
and we'll see if you guessed right, okay?
Now we are ready! Make yourself comfortable!
And enjoy it my friend!
I'm Curious Ben. And… How curious are you?
The Ring Of Rá The Magic Ring Of Howard Carter
In the year 1922, the famous archeologist Howard Carter
made one of the most important discoveries of all history:
The Intact Tomb Of The Pharaoh Tutankhamun.
The story tells that the discovery of that tomb also brought with it one of the most powerful curses known.
Did you know that at least 30 people who had direct contact with Pharaoh's sarcophagus
died under strange circumstances?
That sounds scary, right?
Suspiciously, the only person who did not suffer the wrath of that curse
was archaeologist Howard Carter... Do you know why?
The story tells that Carter was carrying a powerful ring
capable of counteracting the spell of Tutankhamun:
The Ring Of The Egyptian God Rá
The legend says that the ring protected its bearer from any danger or curse.
And it was thanks to him that the archaeologist did not die like his other fellow explorers.
It sounds crazy, does not it?
At the moment it is not known in whose hands is the Rá ring,
or if it is even real, but it is considered as one of the most powerful objects of all history,
together with the sarcophagus of Tutankhamun.
Number 9
The Sword of Goujian The Swords Of Jian
Among the most powerful weapons in all history are the mythical "Swords of Jian"
Following a millenary technique known only to Chinese blacksmiths,
the swords were made with a special alloy of metals
and decorated with blue crystals and millenary ideograms that gave it a unique design.
This thing is well done, right?
Did you know that some stories claimed that these swords were so perfectly designed,
that even these could retain their fiber over time?
Although that might sound like the greatest stupidity in history,
in 1965, during an archaeological expedition in the Hubei region of China,
an ancient sword of Jian was discovered in perfect condition.
Without the slightest trace of rust, and with its fiber and hilt intact, as if it had just been manufactured.
Do you know how old this sword is?
If the numbers did not fail the experts,
it is more than 2500 years old and remains the same as the first day.
That sounds impressive, do not you think?
So, for being weapons that can survive the passage of time,
and for being known as "The Knight Of All Weapons' In China's Martial Arts",
Jian's swords are one of the most powerful objects in all of history.
Number 8
Stone of Scone The Stone of Destiny
In the Edinburgh Castle, which is located in Scotland,
is a stone with a power never before seen... Do you know what that thing can do?
Legend says that this Stone gives you power over all of Scotland.
Basically, if you have the stone in your power,
you could declare yourself as the legitimate sovereign of Scotland
and nobody could take that right away because the stone is on your side.
In case you want to know, the history of this stone, which by the way is called Tanist Stone,
or Jacob's Pillow Stone, traces its origins back to the book of Genesis, in the Bible.
The official version says that the patriarch Jacob supported his head on this stone
thousands of years ago, and since then he acquired powers over natural.
As the story goes, the stone went through different kings and important rulers over the years,
until finally it arrived in Scotland where it stayed for a long time,
and was used every time a new king was crowned.
Currently, Jacob's Pillow Stone is located in Edinburgh Castle,
and no one is allowed to come into contact with it
because it is one of the most powerful objects on our planet.
Number 7
The Philosopher's Stone The Magic Philosopher's Stone
The philosophical stone is a legendary alchemical substance that had extraordinary powers,
including converting any metal into gold,
curing any disease and even prolonging a person's life to immortality.
Although today the idea of a Stone as powerful as that sounds ridiculous...
If not stupid!
It is known that for many centuries, the creation of the philosopher's stone
was the most coveted goal by alchemists of the ancient world.
Even highly respected scientists such as Isaac Newton,
conducted research on the process of creating this stone.
Unfortunately, as far as we know, one of them could never be created,
or something that resembled it.
And over time, the attempts to manufacture it simply disappeared.
-Screw you! -Benny, that is not a philosopher's stone.
It's dog poop!
What is a reality is that, regardless of whether they existed or not,
the philosopher's stone is one of the most powerful objects that has been mentioned in history.
Number 6
The Holy Grail The Most Searched Object Of All Time
According to one version of the legend, the Holy Grail was the cup that Jesus Christ used
during the last supper that he celebrated the night before he died.
This cup is credited with great powers never seen before
such as giving eternal life to those who drink from it,
or the ability to bestow infinite wisdom on the one who holds it.
It’s powers have captivated hundreds of people throughout history,
and many have sought it out to exhaustion even in modern times.
Without going so far, did you know that in 2017 an English antiquarian offered a reward
of one million pounds sterling to anyone who found this relic?
Obviously no one has claimed the reward to date,
even if it really existed and someone had it...
I doubt that the person delivers it for a million pounds externs.
Having a cup with that power would be worth much more than that.
Currently many doubt that a cup or artifact such as the Holy Grail really exists,
but there is no doubt that it has been one of the most sought after objects of all times,
and one of the most powerful on our planet.
Number 5
Koh-I-Noor Diamond The Most Powerful Diamond In The World
The Koh-i-Noor diamond is a 108-carat diamond considered one of the most powerful objects in history.
The legend says that those who have the diamond in their hands
will have the ability to dominate the world at will, only that there is a condition.
It seems that for some reason, the diamond only works if it is in the possession of a woman,
if you are a man and you touch it, you die.
That's scary, right?
The origin of this mysterious diamond goes back to India,
and when stories about its power began to reach the ears of people,
it became an object coveted by the most powerful rulers of different nations.
Supposedly many innocent people died for this diamond.
At the end of this story, it is said that in 1877,
the Koh-i-Noor diamond arrived at the hands of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom,
and it is they who keep it well protected today.
I am not mistaken if I tell you that this thing is the most important object of the British crown jewels.
So, for being an object for which hundreds of people gave their lives,
and for having the power to give total dominion over the world,
the Koh-i-Noor diamond is one of the most incredible and powerful objects that humanity has known.
Number 4
Ark of the Covenant An Artifact That Can Kill You If You Touch It
One of the most powerful artifacts known in history was the Ark of the Covenant.
The story goes that this sacred chest
was built by ancient Israelites following instructions directly from God.
The ark was a kind of gold chest where the original tablets with the ten commandments,
among other objects, were protected,
and obviously had natural powers never before seen.
In different verses of the Bible it is mentioned that the Ark of the Covenant
was capable of doing such incredible things as destroying armies at will,
throwing down great stone walls, killing anyone who touched it,
and even providing direct communication with God.
Considering this great power, the Ark quickly became an object desired
by many rulers throughout history,
but until now no one has been able to find it, or at least that is supposed.
There is a version of this story that says that the Ark is hidden inside this temple located in Ethiopia,
only that no one is allowed to see it or touch it.
So, for all he was capable of, the Ark of the Covenant of biblical history
is one of the most powerful objects on our planet.
Number 3
The Book Of Thoth The Most Incredible Manuscript Of All Time.
I think you already know that the history of Ancient Egypt is full of many artifacts
and mysteries that remain an enigma.
And I think one of the most curious,
was this manuscript with which you would supposedly get the power to talk to animals,
and to communicate directly with the gods whenever you wanted.
Yes, of course!
The story tells that this book or manuscript was written by one of the most powerful gods
of Egyptian mythology called Thoth.
Within the manuscript, which was composed of 78 gold plates,
you found powerful information never before revealed to humanity,
which gave you the power to speak with animals and with the gods when you wanted to.
Of course, it seems that not everyone could interpret it,
you had to be the chosen one or something like that.
Unfortunately, the manuscript was lost at some point in history
and now only fragments of its contents are preserved in different cities of the world,
such as Berlin, Paris or Vienna.
I know that a book that gives you access to understand and communicate with animals
and the Gods could sound like something very silly,
but considering all the objects that I have shown you in this video,
I think it is best not to rule out anything.
By the knowledge you could access with the manuscript of Thoth,
it is likely that it was the most powerful manuscript that ever existed in history.
Number 2
Busby's Stoop Chair The Chair You Should Never Sit On
Although it is likely that a chair is the least powerful
or frightening object that you could come across,
the chair I am about to show you is the exception to that rule.
The story goes that in 1702, a murderer who was about to be executed named Thomas Busby,
asked as a last wish to be allowed to dine at his favorite bar.
Although his request was accepted,
it is said that the chair in the Thomas Busby sat that night was cursed forever.
The story goes that everyone who has sat in this chair since then
has lost his life under strange circumstances.
Although there are no official numbers,
it is said that 70 brave men did it, and they found death for believing the big deal.
-Bullshit! -Benny, get off the chair.
Do you want to die?
In case you're wondering,
the chair is still in the same bar where Thomas Busby went for his last night's dinner,
only now they have turned it into a museum in his memory.
And they have it up to avoid a tragedy again.
Whether or not this legend is true, it is likely that the cursed chair of Thomas Busby
is the most powerful and mysterious chair that ever existed in history.
Number 1
The Chintamani Stone The Stone That Can Grant You Any Desire
Some ancient stories tell that a long time ago,
a bright stone that had magical powers fell from the sky.
Currently, this stone is known as the Chintamani stone in the Buddhist religion,
and is one of the most powerful objects in all of history.
According to the account, the stone fell from the sky thousands of years ago
directly from the Orion constellation.
The person who found it quickly realized that this stone was special
because it had powers never before seen,
including traveling through time, and fulfill all the wishes you wanted.
As with this class of objects, it is known that throughout history
many people tried to find it, but it was simply useless.
Even today it is not known what is its real location,
and the only record you have of its existence are the old stories and legends.
So that leaves us with the dilema of knowing if it was a real stone or not,
let alone discovering if it really fell from the Orion constellation as those stories claim.
In spite of that, I believe that a stone that supposedly had the power to grant wishes,
and make you travel in time, deserves a place in the list of the most powerful objects in history.
And that's all for today!
Another video that is super good, right?

So if you want a video with curiosities similar to this one...
You know what to do!
The answer of the riddle, by the way, is option A.
This place so ugly was affectionately called by experts as Loki's castle.
Who knows why they put him like that?
but what is certain is that there are very ugly things in this area.
Some worms that seem taken out of hell.
That’s great, right?
