Hello my curious! Be all...
Weeeeeeeeeelcome to a new video!
On our planet there are dozens of places that are heavily protected for various reasons.
That's why I now did a compilation for you
with 10 of those places that you probably did not know about.
From the safest military base known, located 600 meters under a mountain,
to an island that has been fiercely protected by a tribe for hundreds of years,
and that you should not even approach!
For everything that awaits you in this video, I'm sure you'll love it.
Only before I start with the topic, I have a small question for you.
In my previous video I told you about this horrible worm
that lives in the bottom of most of the world's oceans.
Do you remember his name?
If you saw my past video you sure know which of these 4 options is the correct answer, right?
So to begin as it should!
Write your answer below in the comments at this time,
because at the end I'll tell you the correct answer and we'll see if you got it right, okay?
Now we are ready! Make yourself comfortable...
And enjoy it my friend!
I'm the Curious Ben. And… How curious are you?
Iron Mountain Vault
Located about 100 kilometers from the American city of Pittsburgh,
the Iron Mountain Vault is one of the safest and most protected places on the planet.
The vault belongs to a company that physically and digitally stores all types of objects and files.
Whatever you can imagine, from super valuable objects to ultra confidential documents,
they keep it for you safely in insurmountable vaults like these.
Although the company has dozens of vaults in more than 35 countries...
The main vault, which is located near Pittsburgh, is the most incredible of all.
Not only because it was built almost 70 meters inside a mountain,
but also because it has an advanced security system that is practically impassable.
According to the reports, it is said that the vault is equipped with hundreds of cameras
that observe each movement 24 hours a day, many of its doors are activated by voice control,
or biometric access control by fingerprints or facial recognition,
and the system they use to make everything work,
is capable of supporting even electromagnetic pulse attacks.
That sounds crazy, right?
As you can imagine, all this security has a logical reason,
and is that inside all kinds of files and objects that have an incalculable value are protected.
-Damn garbage! -Benny, get out of the vault before we're discovered.
Number 9
Ol Pejeta Nature Reserve
Although you might think that nature reserves are not sites that stand out for being strongly protected,
the Ol Pejeta Natural Reserve, which is located in Kenya, has become in recent years,
one of the safest natural reserves in the world.
If you do not believe me, you should know that the reserve is patrolled 24 hours a day
by dozens of soldiers of the Kenyan army who are very well armed.
Their job is to protect the animals that live here from the hunters that lurk in the area.
In previous years, the hunters had become a real problem
so the government decided to take that measure of protection to ensure the perimeter.
Did you know that one of the most protected animals in the reserve for several years was Sudan,
the last remaining male white rhinoceros in the world,
and that unfortunately died of an infection earlier this year?
Although Sudan is no longer there and its species is about to disappear forever,
Kenyan soldiers continue to protect the other species that live within the reserve 24 hours a day.
Converting this place into one of the most heavily protected sites in the world.
Number 8
ADX Florence
ADX Florence is a federal maximum security prison
where the worst criminals you can imagine are sent.
The prison is located in the county of Fremont, in the United States,
and is one of the most protected and impassable places known.
Just to give you an idea, the cells of the prison are soundproofed
to prevent prisoners from communicating with each other.
And each cell is monitored 24/7 without exception thanks to an advanced security system.
As if that were not enough, the prisoners spend 23 hours a day in confinement,
and they only allow them to leave their cell for one hour each day
so that they can exercise or be distracted for a while.
In addition, the prison has several man-trap control points,
and the 1400 steel doors can be closed instantly to prevent any escape of a prisoner.
Because of its extreme security, which is composed of lasers, high definition cameras,
guard dogs and even towers with franchisors,
the ADX Florence prison is one of the most protected places you can imagine.
Number 7
Sentinel Island North
The Sentinel Island North, located in the territory of India,
is known worldwide for being the most protected island on the face of the earth.
Not only for the Hindu government, since they have taken measures so that no one approaches,
but also because of the ferocious behavior of the tribe that lives on the island.
Sentineleses, this is how people who belong to this tribe are known,
have lived here for thousands of years, and although very little is known about them,
it is very clear that they do not like the contact with the outside world in the least.
In all the occasions in which someone has tried to contact them,
the men of the tribe have reacted violently with spears and arrows
making clear the message that nobody is welcome.
The most recent example of how hostile the members of that tribe can be
was the case of a missionary who was greeted with pure flirts to kill him.
So, if we add the hostility of the tribe,
plus the cases in which someone has tried to contact them but have responded with flies,
plus the permanent protection of the Hindu government in this area,
the result is the most protected island in the world.
-Do you want to go? -Bullshit!
Benny, come back to the raft, do you want to die?
Number 6
Room 39
Although there is very little information about the office or Room 39,
it is said that this site is one of the most confidential and protected places in North Korea.
According to some sources, this ultra-secret room is located inside the offices
of the Workers' Party of Korea, in Pyongyang.
Although that has never been confirmed,
the fact that this room has been mentioned throughout history in official reports of that country,
makes it clear to us that it is a real office or room, which really exists.
Of course, whatever they do inside is also a complete mystery.
Access to that secret room is only for people of high rank in the government of that country,
and any attempt to enter illegally would be punished with death.
Or with tortures!
So if you are ever asked what is the most protected room in the world,
do not be afraid to answer that it is Room 39 in North Korea.
For being ultra secret, of unknown location and to which any person can not access.
Number 5
Area 51
Does that name sound familiar?
Probably!
Area 51 is one of the most recognized mysterious sites in the world
and at the same time one of the most protected known.
And it's quite interesting because at first glance it might seem like a place that is unimportant,
with a large air base surrounded by pure desert,
but the signs of staying away make it clear that they do not want anybody loitering nearby.
And that has become clear when some overly curious people
have tried to get closer than they should
and have been intercepted almost instantly by well-armed soldiers.
That quick response of protection makes me think that it is very likely
that all this area that you are seeing is full of hidden cameras or microphones
to catch anything out of the ordinary.
Like the visit of someone unexpected!
At the moment nobody is allowed access in a radius of 32 kilometers,
neither by land nor much less aerial, and interestingly,
if you put a foot in the delimited area, they know it almost instantly so you better not do it.
Due to all that super security, currently Area 51 is one of the most protected sites on our planet.
Number 4
Antwerp World Diamond Centre
As its name implies, the Antwerp World Diamond Centre is the place where
the greatest activity of the diamond business in the world is concentrated.
To give you an idea, about 220 million dollars in diamonds move daily inside this place,
If that is impressive for you...
Just wait for me to show you the vault they have built two floors below the floor.
Equipped with multiple security mechanisms,
including a lock with 100 million possible combinations, infrared heat detectors,
a seismic sensor, a Doppler radar, a magnetic field,
and an access door made with tons of steel have converted to this vault in one of the safest known.
Listening to those characteristics, you will not be surprised to know that at one time here,
more than 70% of the world's diamonds were stored.
Nowadays, so many diamonds are not stored, especially after what happened in 2003,
but I'll tell you that another day...
Number 3
Pionen
Pionen is a heavily protected data center located 30 meters below the ground
in the White Mountains park, in Stockholm.
During the cold war, the high ranking of that country designated this place
as the place where it would be sent to important people of the nation in case a nuclear war broke out.
Fortunately that never happened and now it is a data center belonging to a Swedish company
that provides internet to the whole country.
In case you're wondering, to access this place before you must pass several checkpoints
and go through a solid steel door that is about 40 centimeters thick.
And that does not open unless you're authorized to go through it.
If that does not sound like a big deal, you should know that this bunker is so safe and unpenetrable
that it can even withstand the attack of a hydrogen bomb…
-Very easily! -Silliness!
Where are you going with that bomb, Benny?
Although I personally hope that the data center never has to face the force of one of those bombs,
do not doubt that you are in front of the most protected office of the entire planet.
Number 2
Cheyenne Mountain Complex
Located 600 meters of granite under the surface of Cheyenne Mountain, in the state of Colorado,
this military base is the safest bunker built to date.
If you do not believe me, you should know that the main access door has 25 tons of steel
and one meter thick.
Do you know that this would allow it to withstand a nuclear explosion
of 30 megatons just 2 km away?
It's strong, right?
Although there is very little information about what they are doing here,
which is obvious in the case of a military base,
it is known that at the moment it works as an information center
that is responsible for making important decisions,
many of them related to the security of the nation.
But beyond that, those who work here assure us that the true purpose of the bunker
is to serve as a refuge for important people in case one day the world enters a nuclear war
that threatens to end everything, or if a deadly virus arises that ends with humanity
and it is necessary to repopulate the planet.
In that case, there is no safer place to take shelter than the Cheyenne Mountain Complex.
Number 1
Svalbard Global Seed Vault
Inside this immense silo, which is also known as the "Doomsday Vault",
is stored the largest seed bank in the world.
Do you know what it is for?
To assure food to the whole world in case some catastrophe of epic dimensions happened.
Although we do not want something like that to happen...
Obviously!
if it did happen, humanity is ready to start over again.
In case you want to know...
The large vault where these seeds are stored
has been built in a remote and isolated archipelago of Norway,
where it is maintained in ideal conditions so that the seeds are not spoiled.
Being a vault that keeps millions of seeds from plants around the world,
you'll imagine that they take great care of it.
It has been built with explosion-proof doors, motion sensors,
cameras that monitor everything at all times and an artificial refrigeration system
that takes care of keeping these seeds healthy and safe for future generations.
It is a very safe vault and it is totally protected.
And that's all for today!
It was very good, right?
If you loved the video as much as I did, you should leave a thumbs up
because that helps me a lot to know which videos you really like
and which topics I should not study again.
So if you want to see more videos about places or incredible sites
like the ones that I just showed you...
You know what to do!
The answer to the riddle is option B.
The Bobbit Worm...
That by the way is very ugly!
Buries itself at the bottom of the ocean and only comes out of its cave when it is hungry.
If you would like to know more details about this worm
and about other strange animals that live in the depths of the ocean,
follow the link that will appear here above, okay?
And as I always tell you at the end...
