Ancient Manuscripts That Should Never Have Been Opened

I can tell you were the ark of the covenant is its in the ether because it doesn't exist and never did its a fariy tail 8:52

I'm super confused by the title of this video. Am I the only one not seeing the connection between "interesting old shit" and "should never have been opened"??

I have a theory that the Book of Soyga was someone's enormous one-time pad.

I love the idea of a monk or someone just sitting behind their desk having a laugh going “they’re gonna be so confused when they find this in the future”
Nowadays people also sometimes go to great lengths for a prank

If people nowadays would do it
People back then would as well

I find it plausible that there was a orictice similar to speaking in tongues, but writing in an inspired language that arrives at the author through esoteric means. Or it was just a meme among scribes to show somebody a book written in a fake language (medieval rick roll)

Please do a video on the Jamestown tablets!

I am David and I do have a son. 😮

One of my pet peeves is placing honorable mentions in second place. You are essentially counting down like this: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 14, 13, 12, 11, 1

There is the language of words, and the languages of music, rhythm, action, and dance. The non verbal language is powerful and hopefully universal. If you're fed up with cloudy weather you can blow a hole in the clouds.

Do a video on the Jamestown slate!

You should do a video on the minoans, or on linear a/b. I think the topic is perfect for your format

You know what's fun? Realizing that people from history did dumb shit like make up secret languages and wrote fictional stories and now we dive into a rabbit hole of why, without ever answering "just because" or "it was funny"

Gnostics believe that the god typical Christians worship is actually the rejected son of a higher god who is taking his misery out on humans because they contain a small seed of divinity inside of them because of hijinks. That's the knowledge that is achieved which leads to enlightenment.

Hmmmm … Entertaining – for sure… informative ??? Accurate ??? – Well hopefully.. Kind of like the way Joe makes complex subjects " accessible " Hopefully he won't be another victim of "audience capture" In the meantime I am intrigued enough to subscribe … also like the way I can fast forward through the "Brilliant" advert..

Consider "The Epic of Gigamesh". Written about 2500 BCE to me certainly demonstrates that if 45000 years ago we were writing creative literature (No, I have not made a study of this work), then certainly someone could have 'found some old linen lying around' and some educated aristocrat could have written something 'on a goof'.

The map of Antarctica without ice sounds like a good video
