Hello and welcome back to the Most Amazing Channel on the internet.
I am your host Rebecca Felgate and today we are talking the Top 10 Scary Secrets Hidden
in Time.
OOhhh!
Time!
The biggest revealer!
Before we get into this video, I want to know if you have ever buried or dug up a time capsule?
My sister and I – shout out Julia, buried a time capsule in our old garden over the
millennium.
It has a pikatu pokemon card in it….
That is all I know!
Let m me know in the comments – like – share –
insta…..
10 - Classified JFK Assassination Documents When it comes to scary secrets hidden in time,
the Unites States Government is sitting on a motherload.
While the freedom of information Act is a thing, the US government has classified a
bunch of documents to keep them from the public eye.
The CIA says that when historical information is no longer sensitive, we take seriously
our responsibility to share it with the American people… well… responsibility or not, it
seems that Donald Trump does not want the American People to know more information about
JFK’s assassination in 1963.
In October 2017, 2800 files about his murder were released which revealed all sorts of
things, including that the Russian KGB believed Vice President Lyndon conspired against the
Pres.
It seems there are still thousands more documents waiting to be released and Trump has halted
it for reasons of national security, law enforcement and foreign affairs concerns.
What do they say?
Time… the biggest revealler!
9 - Rongorongo The Rongorongo refers to artifacts found on
Easter Island – a remote Island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean – the one with all
the big stone heads!
Well this island used to be the home of an ancient civilization that died out under mysterious
circumstances.
On the island, artifacts – wooden tablets - were discovered with strange undeciphered
writing on it.
The writing is a series of glyphs, which is like symbol writing.
There have been many attempts to crack the code – but so far they have been unsuccessful.
It is thought that the language is a special and rare case of an independent invention
of human writing.
If the Rongorongo language is ever translated it could reveal the scary secret of how the
people of Easter Island died.
8 - Pershing Square Underground Garage in Los Angeles
Oooh this one is a mysterious one indeed.
And where there is a mystery there is a spook.
Underneath Pershing Square there is a 225 pound time capsule that was buried in 1950.
It was buried under the instruction to be opened in the year 2951…sooo… a cool thousand
years in the future.
The project was very secretive so …. We literally have no idea what is down there….
to me that sounds pretty scary!
And I wont be around to find out ! I don’t have that much time!
7 - Ancient Disease Two things to discuss here really.
You guys know how much I love to bang on about the Siberian Permafrost and how it is melting
and unleashing all these ancient disease that had been trapped under the ice for thousands
of years and making people sick – well – that – but also did you know that there are secret
laboratories in the world where scientists keep copies of ancient extinct diseases, including
Smallpox, which was declared eradicated in 1980 by the World Health Organization.
The reason copies of old disease are kept is so that we can study them and have copies
of pathogens to work with when creating cures….although we wouldn’t need cures if these viruses
were totally destroyed!
It’s a science catch 22!
While we may think we are rid of these nasties, they are actually hiding out in secret.
The Permafrost is earths secret waiting for the right time to reveal its mysteries, but
the laboratories are scientific secrets!
6 The Shigir Idol So often I wonder what lost relics and artifacts
are hidden around the world waiting to be discovered and honestly, I feel like there
must be so many!
The only reason we know about the Greeks, the Romans, The Aztecs etc is because we have
found evidence of them in our soil.
Other places, like our number 5 have been written about but never found, but there must
be small civilizations or very early ones that we haven’t found yet and for which
we don’t have any literature surrounding it.
So….
Let me introduce the Shigir Idol.
This impressive wooden statue was AMAZINGLY found in a Russian bog by gold miners in 1894….
Before that it had laid untouched and undiscovered for 11 and a half thousand years!
It is over twice as old as the Egyptian Pyramids.
It seems like the carving is of a forest spirit, but what it really means, we don’t really
know yet.
And to think – this statue was hidden in time for millenia without anyone knowing it
was there.
5 - Atlantis The lost city of Atlantis is just that.
Lost.
Where exactly it is, well…some think that it may be in the Straights of Gibraltar between
Africa and Spain.
The Ancient Greek city was supposed to be thriving in its day, which was over 11 thousand
years ago, so sometime after the wooden statue from number ** was submerged into a swamp!
The late great Philosopher, Plato mentioned Atlantis in a number of his works and writings,
and he is a pretty credible guy.
Where Atlantis is and what we may find within its walls – well that is a secret hidden
in time waiting to be discovered one day.
4 - Byron Preiss’ Scary Hidden Treasure In 1981, publisher Byron Preiss hid 12 treasures
to promote his book The Secret.
The book was a buzzle made of 12 verses and 12 fantasy paintings.
Readers were supposed to pair paintings with verses and use them as clues to find 12 plexiglass
boxes buried in various parks around North America.
Each box contained a ceramic key that could be redeemed for a jewel worth $1,000 – so
far two of the boxes have been found.
One in Chicago, one in Cleveland and there is a group of people who are ebbing closer
to finding another in New Orleans.
It seems that Byron Preiss never told another human where the treasure was hidden and he
himself was killed in a tragic car accident in 2005…so with his death, the secret hidden
treasure really is …well….secret.
It’s been nearly 40 years …..when will the remaining boxes be found and what exactly
will be found in them?
3 - Heard Island Heard Island is a mystery land of Fire and
Ice.
What goes on there, we don’t really know!
Heard Island is between Australia and Antarctica – although when I say between, I mean a
two week sail from Australia in some of the roughest seas imaginable.
You cant land a plane here, and for this reason hardly any humans have ever set foot here….
That we know of, anyway.
The snow, cold, yet volcanic island is a mystery to us and likely holds secrets to earth and
wildlife that we know little about.
Who knows what we could discover here!
2 - Under Antarctica So my line of questioning when it comes to
Antarctica is two pronged.
It all boils down to this.
160 years Antarctica separated from Africa… and back then it was by and large a pretty
hospitable place to live.
There was animal life living in Antarctica back then – what kind of life – well it
was the Mesozoic era, so it was very much the age of the dinosaur.
Okay.
Noted.
Animal life will have died out in the Antarctic deep freeze, which started around 23 million
years ago.
This means there could be a whole host of creatures trapped under the ice that we might
not know about.
Some people even go as far as to say there could be evidence of an ancient human or pre
human civilization trapped under there that we don’t yet know about.
The ice is, after all, an average thickness of 2.4 kilometres, and over 4 kilometres at
its thickest.
Beyond possibly preserved dinosaur carcasses or lost human civilizations, the land under
the ice, as in its geological make up, hold secrets to our very early history as a planet.
Antarctica is likely shielding some of the biggest and maybe scariest secrets of all
time.
1 - A Message From Aliens Okay, here me out.
In 1977 humans sent out a message from planet earth into the ether via the Voyager 1 and
2 spacefarers – although these were on two vinyls, so unless there are some hipster aliens
about, I have no idea how they will listen to them.
Either way, it will take 40,000 years for our message, travelling at the Voyagers top
speeds, to reach Gliese 445 star 1.6 light years away.
So… that being known… perhaps aliens have sent out a message but it is hidden in time
and space.
The Universe is… well… pretty endless.
So far scientists have discovered more than 500 solar systems in our own galaxy, the milkyway….
Our galaxy is one of 2 trillion…so…
I mean I am not one for super quick math, but if the Milky way is typical, there could
be 100 billion or more … lots more solar systems in the observable universe.
I imagine there is other life out there somewhere, and if it has reached the point where it has
the technological capabilities to send information into space, then perhaps one day we will come
across a message from them, like our own message we put out.
Or maybe it wont be like ours, maybe it will be a warning, or worse…a threat!
Okay before we go I am going to read some quick comments from our Top 10 Scary
Items Traded on the internet – if you haven’t watched that video yet then please do so.
This is what you had to say!
Idray Medrano said they traded a sandwich for a basketball…
sounds fair.
Mauriana Wolf said: Reiss said: Wait until they find out I traded
my livers for a shiny charizard?.
It all comes back to Pokemon cards in the end, doesn’t it!
