6:33

really like second i'm sorry i missed

6:38

now so i got i got one more zig

6:40

say they serve their sides

6:43

family style so

6:45

i'm a member years

6:47

and years ago i

6:50

was gonna take a main to this restaurant

6:52

and i told her they each great

6:55

it's family style then

6:58

she got this really weird look on her site

7:00

since the and

7:03

i was almost

7:05

she was excited about going up

7:07

until i said it's family style

7:09

room and i thought

7:12

what do that we have one as i is everything

7:14

okay she goes yeah

7:17

just add is not like even with people

7:20

that i don't know and i was like what

7:22

are you talking about seals

7:25

, that would family style means you know when you

7:27

say the table with bush people you don't have

7:29

a site

7:31

no never made

7:33

, all all our minds

7:36

oh oh the locate the on his side

7:39

so all this time

7:40

she had thought that family style

7:43

was like when you go to the japanese they

7:45

can sit around and you have

7:47

people that you don't know we'll see

7:49

thought we were going to be at a table with people we

7:51

did know and i was like no i would i'd better

7:55

yet i said i don't like that either

7:58

some put up with

8:00

when we go to the japanese steakhouse but

8:03

i usually get the

8:05

our and seat so i don't have

8:07

to sit next to anybody i don't know yeah

8:11

i and there's a way

8:14

there's a way to prevent that from

8:16

happening

8:17

okay

8:19

have five kids are yeah

8:21

that's a good boy and then uses take

8:23

up all the seats and they can't see spencer

8:26

good points on rather see it was strange

8:32

you would be assessed

8:36

ah man that's enough be as

8:38

soon in the beginning here one on see tell us

8:40

what are we talking about tonight brother

8:43

okay so then i want we're

8:45

gonna talk about another last

8:48

the city and i say last

8:51

with quotation marks right

8:53

the case

8:54

some people can feel like it was never

8:57

lost but

9:00

there are there is there has been alleged

9:03

vice city

9:05

in honduras

9:08

that

9:10

the spanish spore cortez

9:12

heard rumors of from

9:15

what he said was how

9:17

did he put it adam he said it was credible

9:21

at credible credible sources

9:24

credible information that this

9:27

the city existed as in the story

9:29

was is there was this why

9:32

city in the jungle

9:35

that had

9:36

enormous wealth

9:38

and it even had this enormous

9:41

the old monkey stats so

9:45

it became known

9:47

as the lost city of

9:49

the monkey guy okay and

9:53

you know what i'm talking about these

9:56

la ciudad blunck the

9:58

or the white city

10:01

the

10:02

and and five hundred years

10:05

since cortez was poking around

10:07

in the jungle trying to find it

10:10

we think we might actually have found there

10:14

honey arguments about that but we'll

10:16

talk about seven talk about that to

10:18

ah the

10:20

you know

10:22

there's not you know there's always something

10:25

that is going on with a loss civilization

10:28

allow city any of this stuff and

10:30

there's plenty

10:31

about

10:32

la ciudad blanca in

10:34

in my opinion preface

10:38

the episode with tears in my opinion

10:41

when you

10:43

hearing a city like last

10:46

you that blanca that the

10:48

jungle eight

10:50

basically i hovered up the

10:53

in a way i feel like that might be

10:55

nature's way of trying to

10:58

earlier something

11:01

from that area there

11:03

may be a problem to current

11:06

or future civilizations maybe

11:08

that's me

11:10

where

11:11

putting too much pan psyches i'm into

11:13

this stuff where i'm thinking the jungle

11:15

has some typos

11:18

motive and and cincy

11:21

it's like that but i think

11:23

mira nair and might be something to

11:26

that were nature's like know i'm

11:28

gonna try to cover this up because they're

11:30

my en masse

11:32

gonna get in the one of the reasons here in a minute

11:34

why it might do that but

11:36

and and i feel i feel very

11:38

similar and i said we'll we'll get into

11:40

it later in the show

11:42

the

11:44

i think there's more there's more

11:46

to that

11:47

the

11:49

then than just adam's adam's

11:51

statement of

11:53

no the jungle just took took stuff back

11:56

the

11:57

yeah it'll be it'll be interesting to

11:59

discuss rep mike we say

12:01

go check your sources don't have the bottom of the show

12:03

notes am you can find

12:05

where we found the information and you can

12:07

continue the research there's always

12:09

a little bit that we may be don't

12:11

touch on for time sake them

12:14

or because it's who

12:17

hanjin show what

12:19

would are going about it it fits but it

12:21

doesn't quite fit answer go check

12:23

our sources dump bottom of the show notes now

12:26

lassila blown com or like

12:28

matt was saying the legendary land of

12:30

the monkey god is located in the most

12:32

kitty of region in honduras

12:35

so any to look at that region real quickly

12:37

and talk about it's now musketeer

12:40

is one of the last great

12:42

wilderness regions remaining

12:44

in central america is located

12:47

on the eastern most part

12:49

of honduras along what is called the

12:51

mosquito coast the

12:54

in it's part of the western

12:56

caribbean zone there so

12:58

have you done if you know the caribbean zone

13:00

it's part of the the western side of it in

13:03

the that area the most get

13:05

the area extends into

13:08

nicaragua as well the

13:10

so it's a big area

13:12

is not just in honduras but what

13:15

we're talking about is located in

13:17

honduras another region is comprised

13:20

of tropical rainforest time savannah

13:22

and marshes and him

13:25

these are mostly accessible by water

13:27

or air it's really really really

13:29

really difficult who want

13:32

who need regions in there and

13:34

there is no way you're driving a vehicle

13:37

you know you have to legally deaf

13:39

yeah there's no there's no expressway know

13:42

if you think you're going to kitchen goober

13:45

la ciudad blanca you are wrong

13:47

it's not happening

13:50

now today this area

13:53

the the musketeer area there is

13:56

populated by indigenous peoples

13:58

an indigenous the groups

14:01

man it has the largest continuous

14:04

wilderness area in central america

14:07

though

14:08

basically if a the has the most

14:11

the wilderness area it's not broken

14:13

up by a city the anymore

14:16

now is matt said spanish contested

14:18

or her nan cortez and

14:20

we've talked about him recently

14:22

in another episode two so this guy gets

14:24

around but her name

14:27

cortez reported hearing trustworthy

14:29

information about the ancient ruins but

14:31

he was never able to locate them now

14:34

in nineteen twenty seven pilot

14:37

charles lindbergh reported seeing

14:39

monuments constructed from whitestone

14:41

flying over eastern honduras

14:44

the as lindbergh was making a trip

14:46

a look down and he apparently

14:49

song some the

14:52

ruins monuments they

14:54

were all white and he reported seeing that now

14:56

by the nineteen thirties there

14:59

were rumors of a place in

15:01

honduras called the city of

15:03

the monkey god

15:04

this was

15:06

the equated with

15:09

ciudad blanca and in nineteen

15:11

thirty nine adventurous theodore

15:14

more day claim to have found it

15:16

and brought thousands of artifacts back

15:18

to united states to prove it and

15:21

home i'll say soda much as

15:23

later when match starts talking

15:25

about

15:28

the artifacts a little bit more but i

15:30

question this but

15:33

one thing to touch on or a quick remember

15:35

i said there were rumors

15:38

of a place in honduras called the city and a monkey

15:40

god the end it

15:42

was equated with

15:44

see you dot blanca

15:47

though

15:48

they

15:51

right there they're thinking that maybe

15:53

it's not the same maybe it's not the same

15:56

thing maybe the land

15:58

and a monkey god is separate

16:00

from last you that blanca but won't

16:03

won't dive in a little more

16:05

later but just keep all that in mind when

16:07

waste keep talking about it now

16:09

according to more day the indigenous people

16:11

said a giant statue of a monkey

16:13

god was buried there though he

16:15

never revealed the precise location

16:18

of his find because he feared

16:20

that the site would be looted and he was probably

16:23

right on the money without one the

16:25

and eat and revealed it it

16:27

certainly would have been looted either by

16:31

the people in the area

16:33

going out and finding and or people traveling

16:36

there simply to loot

16:38

this city

16:39

the so it can a good that

16:41

he kept to himself but sadly

16:44

he died before he was able to return

16:47

to that site and continue the

16:49

excavation so by not revealing

16:52

where he found nes

16:54

in a way was a catch twenty two yeah

16:57

i was like is good because the

16:59

site would remain pristine besides

17:01

what he pulled out of there but

17:05

you've got lost all over again

17:09

and the rain forest the

17:11

animals get the legion in twenty twelve

17:14

to twenty thirteen revealed

17:17

broad plazas or if works mounds

17:20

and and alison pyramid this

17:23

was all pointing to the existence of a

17:25

flourishing settlement about a thousand

17:27

years ago or so the

17:30

now the legends the expedition

17:32

and the findings were later documented

17:35

by american journalist and author

17:37

douglas preston in his twenty

17:39

seventeen book titled the lost city

17:41

the monkey god a true story one

17:44

of my favorite authors we've mentioned him before

17:46

on this show the of the up these

17:50

another guy gets around

17:52

the is he absolutely is

17:56

now i'm i'm not i honestly

17:58

have not read i hadn't read

18:00

this book i probably will

18:03

the

18:04

i haven't read it at i now have only

18:06

read his fiction

18:08

the

18:10

which is if you if you're looking a if

18:12

you need like a series of books

18:14

to gonna get into and you

18:16

want to find one that's got seventeen

18:18

or eighteen books

18:21

it was pressed in and lincoln child

18:24

the have a series of books featuring

18:27

a

18:29

i'll always is pendergast who is a

18:31

new orleans f b i'd wanna

18:33

name main yeah a

18:35

they're fantastic but anyway enough enough

18:38

of that

18:39

that dog was president he's

18:41

they east asia almost

18:44

more of an archaeologist and he is

18:47

an author because and you can tell

18:49

in his in his writing in his ear infection

18:52

the research that he is done

18:55

the

18:56

he's got a lot of books that speak on

18:58

native american folklore

19:00

culture just

19:03

he's a fascinating

19:05

individual, so

19:06

yeah

19:11

unlike you i'm gonna have to go read more of

19:13

his stuff the

19:15

i've skimmed a lot of his work

19:17

just in in the research that we've done

19:19

but i haven't actually sat down and read

19:22

the whole book so i need to

19:25

whenever i have time to read a full book that

19:27

as the now

19:29

when a team of researchers from the conservation

19:32

international rapid assessment program

19:35

return from see you [unk] blanc and twenty

19:37

seventeen the world was stunned

19:39

by the findings of their biological survey

19:43

though not only did they come across an extremely

19:46

rich presence of flora and fauna but

19:48

also some species new to science

19:50

and several which were thought to be extinct

19:54

the i wanna talk about come on out

19:56

here in a second as well but the

19:58

team also discovered remarkable

20:00

cache of stone sculptures that in lane

20:02

on touch since the city was abandoned and

20:04

mans gonna touch on that here shortly to

20:07

now when i started his research

20:11

the how many get to discuss the

20:14

maya in this episode we discuss the

20:16

as tax not too long ago someone

20:18

to get to discuss the my i in a city of as

20:20

welcome to find out most of the professionals

20:23

don't believe that this was mine right

20:26

am they said that this society

20:28

obviously had contact with

20:31

the maya during that time but

20:34

it wasn't a mayan civilization

20:36

so i'm on had to put off the mind discussion

20:38

for yet another episode i

20:41

could have zero it was definitely

20:43

my and inform sure yeah certainly

20:45

and that's what made me think initially

20:48

that this was a mayan settlement

20:50

but the further you get into it the more

20:52

you like now it's actually not maya

20:56

so why to do the mine

20:58

episode later but that this is one of those

21:00

tangential the information things

21:02

that if you want to go ahead research hop

21:04

in there and start looking at it because

21:07

it sort of relates to this city

21:10

but not exactly now

21:13

let's see that blanca was built by

21:15

people that were referred to as pre

21:17

columbian people know

21:19

what's that mean i'm sure we've heard it pre colombian

21:22

civilizations whatever ancient

21:24

cultures located south of

21:26

the present the united states the

21:29

that that border there with

21:31

the mexico if you'd lie

21:33

south of that the

21:38

they are referred to as pre

21:40

colombian cultures and it's the

21:42

people they live their south

21:45

the present day us border

21:47

so from mexico down

21:49

while

21:51

the arrival of columbus

21:54

though that would be pre colombian

21:56

now the three most notable pre colombian

21:59

civilizations aren't the as

22:01

tags the maya and the inca

22:03

they were the biggest the

22:06

pre colombian nations we

22:08

talked about the as tax we will

22:10

eventually talk about the my i'm probably pretty soon

22:12

and will talk about the inca but

22:14

this was another smaller group of

22:16

pre columbian people they're

22:19

basically traded with all of these groups

22:22

why want

22:24

technically any of them many

22:26

in a pre colombian cultures eventually ended

22:29

with the european contact

22:31

dying out for more fair as well as

22:33

disease in which we discussed

22:36

when we discuss the aztecs wanted

22:38

to get touch on the animals here

22:40

in the region that they found because

22:42

this o'connor the

22:46

this to give you an idea of what

22:48

these people were up against when

22:50

they went into that

22:53

area just hiking

22:55

mer am according to the findings

22:57

of conservation international researchers

23:00

the bio diversity of sudan blanca is

23:02

exceptional in a context

23:04

of central america with most

23:07

the economic group showing a richness of

23:09

species not seen and other parts of

23:11

honduras in fact

23:13

some of the species found their such as the wife

23:15

lived pet theories which is if

23:17

you don't know that's a pig like animals it

23:21

looks like an aardvark i know

23:23

yeah i suppose onto that pictures of

23:25

it and i was like oh this looks like the

23:28

catalog and aardvark for our make

23:30

sure that a guy from tweener have begun

23:32

an aardvark the as a kind

23:35

of mess with a tape you well

23:37

yes

23:38

yeah

23:39

but in

23:41

it there's a sub

23:43

sector them called of wife lived factories the

23:46

narrow the apparently

23:48

indicative of an intact healthy

23:50

for a so if you've got them then

23:52

you know it's like frogs in a pond

23:55

if you got frogs and in

23:58

stuff like that upon the you know healthy

24:00

pine because the water isn't contaminated

24:03

am not a team not only found twenty

24:05

two species that we're not known do

24:07

have the existed

24:09

in honduras prior to this but

24:11

also at least forty three species

24:14

which have been a source of concern for conservationists

24:17

elsewhere

24:18

though

24:19

in other areas there like only species

24:21

or going extinct they're on the

24:24

endangered list they found him the

24:27

in a la ciudad blanca area of honduras

24:29

and they didn't had no idea they were they're mainly

24:31

because you can't get to that dang place they

24:34

don't know hard to get to there's no way to know now

24:37

now we're in danger plants the

24:40

there was a variety of palm and

24:43

there was a variety of from there and those

24:45

are two of the in danger plants found

24:47

there and if you want to look up the

24:51

scientific name for those go ahead

24:53

i'm not going to try to repeat them

24:57

the but nairn there is

24:59

a variety of palm and of are a variety of phone

25:02

better the endangered that

25:04

they found in abundance there and

25:06

be endangered great green mccall

25:09

the and abundant population of

25:12

populations of the endangered jeffrey

25:14

spider monkey and the birds

25:16

tape your have also been

25:18

found now researchers they say

25:21

we're delighted to rediscover the presence

25:23

of the pale faced bat spy

25:26

alone followed dharma spin offs

25:29

we had been reported if

25:31

it hadn't been reported in honduras

25:33

for over seventy five years they

25:35

thought it was extent and

25:38

apparently know i just moved out there in a

25:40

place where you can find it there's

25:43

a false three coral snake wade

25:45

said not been reported in honduras for fifty

25:47

years the there's

25:50

a tiger beetle then

25:52

hen only ever been recorded in nicaragua

25:55

not in honduras and

25:58

warm of interesting features

26:00

is the presence of five

26:03

the cat species occurring in the region

26:05

though there's five major

26:09

predatory cast jaguar

26:11

puma ocelot more

26:13

gay and the jaguar and

26:15

he winces a smaller

26:18

type jaguar am in fact

26:20

the reasons is actually named a study

26:23

area around they're

26:25

lucky that blanca area they were

26:27

not calling it was you that blanca

26:29

they were calling it see you that bill jaguar

26:32

because any of the jaguar because

26:35

on the trail can that they put up they

26:37

caught a time a jaguar running

26:40

around this area so these

26:42

researchers had to battle to

26:44

get into this area with elements and

26:47

there's also the fertile lands the

26:49

an area of yeah which i don't know if y'all know

26:51

is one of the most

26:53

the only

26:55

the night the deadliest

26:57

snake am i think they call

26:59

it the the

27:02

six pay snake or something because

27:04

you're dead before you take six basis

27:07

yeah it's know what i read was it's

27:09

the deadliest snake in the new were

27:13

though

27:15

you know in the of in the americas

27:17

in a out of europe asia

27:19

and africa

27:20

the

27:22

this is the deadliest sniper

27:24

right and

27:25

no from what i understand

27:27

it it it may even be more

27:30

dangerous than the the lance head

27:33

viper which

27:35

on snake island off the coast

27:38

of brazil

27:39

right right can

27:41

now as like

27:43

south america seems to have a lot of stuff

27:45

that was to you

27:46

the image aids

27:48

a lot like australian that since never

27:51

everything in australia wants to kill you all apparently

27:53

south america the same way all of these

27:56

the at five different big paths in

27:58

that region

27:59

the

27:59

it

28:01

you probably got a lot of plants

28:03

out there too that a

28:05

if you brush against a more hurt or

28:08

cause rashes if you eat on no kill

28:10

years so i mean it's not

28:13

an easy place to research it's not

28:15

easy place to get to the

28:17

thing yeah there and

28:19

they found stuff have

28:22

you ever seen a picture of a jagged jaguar

28:24

on the yeah the

28:27

i did but yah yah

28:29

me to look this up

28:31

this looks like

28:32

a house cat

28:34

anna and a sea otter yeah it's

28:36

weird together the in

28:39

a little more okay

28:40

you're gonna walk like a monkey okay

28:44

that's what last line last line

28:46

i i've never seen one of these

28:48

in a picture anything and i'll look it up

28:50

and i'm like

28:52

the craziest organ thing is like

28:54

a venomous weasel are some success

28:56

or failure

29:00

never

29:03

never heard that at all

29:05

i mean age

29:07

the idea has that

29:11

maine coon looking face like

29:14

if you look at it yeah i the

29:16

front part of it conner looks like a maine

29:18

coon why the

29:22

aged it's not cute this

29:24

it will attack you and will

29:26

kill you so

29:29

so

29:32

as we say it's it's extraordinarily dangerous

29:36

he go to to try to even go to displace

29:38

the

29:39

even more so

29:42

when not when

29:44

cortez first learned of this

29:46

city of great well hidden

29:49

in the jungle he

29:51

also learned that according to legend

29:54

that city was cursed

29:56

and it was so that anyone who dared to enter

29:59

the so called

29:59

the white city

30:01

would fall ill and died

30:04

oh five hundred years later we

30:07

learn that the curse

30:09

was more than just a mess okay

30:12

right

30:14

adam mentioned earlier author douglas

30:16

pressed in went on an expedition to

30:18

find the white city in two thousand and sixteen

30:21

in in his book

30:22

the lost city is a monkey guide

30:24

he tells the gruesome story the

30:27

curse of la ciudad blanca

30:29

this is fascinating to me bassem

30:31

is it is this is this is amazing this

30:33

is the the in my penis the best her

30:35

story and okay many

30:39

members of the expedition including

30:41

president himself the came

30:43

very ill christian

30:45

explain during

30:47

and americans are like came down with

30:50

this disease called lies lies

30:52

from elias and

30:55

very very bad form of it

30:58

is called you go cutaneous

31:01

like demise of life

31:04

minaya says a nuisance say

31:06

a does sound terrible

31:09

the anything when i'm you go in it sounds

31:11

terrible surf

31:13

now are you know when when when

31:16

pressed and was explaining this he said

31:18

up for i don't want to revolt

31:21

you know

31:22

the reader way

31:24

the it's since we

31:26

a flesh eating disease this

31:29

is it's like leprosy and

31:32

it's transmitted by the by the same

31:34

for

31:35

the parasites

31:37

which is a single cell organism

31:39

migrate to your

31:42

face they eat away

31:44

your nose and your lips

31:47

huh until they fall off

31:50

leave your face an open

31:52

weeping sore ah

31:55

okay

31:57

the mean

31:58

this is real

31:59

this is not us this is

32:02

not oh that's what they say will

32:04

happen

32:05

no this is what happened

32:08

okay and the fascinating

32:10

part about that hondurans

32:12

got it too no

32:14

so they're not there they are they're not immune

32:16

to write a haven't developed any kind of

32:18

immunity does right meds for the same you would

32:20

think in a region near usually

32:23

pretty immune to the stuff in your region

32:26

it's when you travel outside of your

32:28

country that becomes a problem that's

32:30

why you'd usually get shots

32:34

for stuff when you travel out

32:36

of your country it even

32:39

the hondurans we're getting

32:41

this life when i us is so that

32:44

means it's very unique

32:47

the war

32:48

very very bad like it it's

32:50

yeah it's a rough one

32:54

the

32:55

the parasite will eventually eat

32:58

away the bones of your face the

33:00

create a hole in your head

33:03

and eventually

33:04

you'd i know her

33:06

but not before you

33:08

have this miserable existence is

33:10

your face right right right

33:13

the mean if if you gotta

33:15

ask me okay you're

33:18

you're gonna get sick and something is

33:20

gonna write off of you before

33:23

you die my face

33:26

these

33:27

where you at the bottom of the list

33:29

yeah i'm of something i might consider

33:31

let him rot all exactly wings

33:34

i had my my pinky toe is probably

33:36

numero uno vs face

33:39

and , maybe maybe some metal snail

33:41

snail way of right very

33:44

buffet of i was gonna say there's was gonna

33:46

particular reasons that i don't want

33:48

fleischman i as is hitting and men the face

33:51

is definitely tied

33:53

but they get they get to your face mm

33:56

okay that's the mucosa

33:58

part of the first one need the mucus

34:00

membranes

34:02

right

34:02

that's what happens if you're not

34:05

treated

34:06

now preston and his team received

34:09

the treatment but they said it's a really

34:11

horrible three

34:13

and it doesn't cure the disease

34:15

that he can obese it back he keeps

34:18

the parasite a bay right

34:20

though

34:21

no you you can be okay with

34:23

this that it's it's

34:25

not

34:26

it's not like oh well i'm going to get it's

34:28

not like he stepped on rusty nail and you go

34:30

get a tetanus shot or okay is not know

34:32

like that at all i am it's it's pretty

34:35

it's pretty stink of miserable

34:38

and person says it was it was really

34:40

rough on some of the people in the group

34:42

sit in fact the honduran

34:44

archaeologist that was with him nearly died

34:47

so

34:49

you know n n

34:51

it's not like people are run around honduras

34:54

during the a slight right and dynamic

34:57

you know we're not seeing pictures of

34:59

people with ah why some

35:01

oblige manassas

35:03

i'm going all this is terrible

35:05

you know if it's also it's all over honduras

35:08

you're not see and now you have to

35:10

go

35:11

out here he of in the jungle

35:14

where

35:15

la ciudad market years and

35:17

in order to encounters and what i heard

35:19

was that it's one that medical

35:22

professionals had not seen

35:25

it is a type of life when isis that

35:28

medical professionals have not seen before

35:31

the un the a one of the

35:33

things in the curse is that you'll die

35:36

from a disease oh

35:39

he know the

35:41

the inhabitants of the area many

35:43

years ago knew about this life when i as this

35:46

thing and is used it in their

35:48

purse or their

35:50

car had something to do with it and

35:53

if i heard a professional saying well

35:55

it's because you're out in an area that

35:57

has other animals

36:00

that nice and flyers you're biding and

36:03

attracting the

36:06

yeah i'm moving that virus

36:08

from them to you and my thought

36:10

was okay

36:11

but

36:12

they kept talking about the monkeys

36:15

in the area they implies

36:17

biting them and then biting you and

36:19

transferring it from the monkeys to you will one

36:22

the monkeys are dying from life when isis

36:25

right not that we know

36:27

of and to narrow monkeys

36:30

in many many parts of honduras

36:32

in these people are not getting though

36:35

it and i would imagine they're saying

36:37

flaws yes i'm in other part

36:39

yes of under so i would think

36:42

that if it was simply that we

36:45

would see other cases of it outside

36:47

of los de la mancha i feel

36:50

like there's something else to it and that may

36:52

just be me because i've done too

36:54

much research like this because this know you're

36:56

kind of on the same page as me so it may be

36:58

our history of research but

37:01

my me either these are some up anywhere

37:03

right right

37:06

not archaeologists believe that the

37:08

disease may be why early

37:10

inhabitants

37:12

the band in the city in the sixteenth century

37:16

the leaving that the area was cursed

37:19

maybe yeah

37:20

amy so is so you know it's

37:23

were worried a chicken or egg

37:25

cannon right choice right what

37:27

where's the area cursed and that

37:30

cause these inhabitants to

37:32

leave

37:33

the war

37:34

they to leave and put

37:36

a curse on the city

37:38

i don't know them again

37:40

you and think of it was their relation if

37:42

it was their prior to them leaving it would

37:44

go elsewhere especially

37:46

if some of them had it in

37:49

cook it elsewhere

37:51

then other sanford would bite

37:53

them and take it to somebody else you

37:55

know i mean so i i see in

37:58

my opinion thing know curse

38:01

came first by

38:05

history tells us that this

38:08

the abandoning of the city

38:10

most likely happened right around the

38:12

time that the spanish conquistadors

38:14

invaded the region and

38:16

brought with them other diseases

38:18

that the indigenous people couldn't fight

38:21

and here we're dead

38:24

that's happened all throughout history young

38:26

and old europeans

38:28

made it

38:29

the americas they

38:31

they brought all kinds of illnesses

38:33

my that the indigenous people of the

38:35

americas said never come in

38:38

to contact with and

38:39

had no immunity to it at all

38:42

right it was wiping these folks out

38:45

they are now and happen whether

38:47

there was war or not if you just bring

38:50

bright a bunch of people into an area

38:52

that doesn't have disease that's another reason

38:54

you get inoculated before you go to another

38:56

country so you don't take anything one

38:58

area with you to themselves

39:03

now

39:05

the archaeological team the

39:07

discover

39:08

why a few artifacts

39:11

and the the archaeological team led

39:13

by chris fisher of colorado state university

39:16

dug up more than two hundred artifacts

39:19

including or ornate sculptures

39:21

of animals ritual stone

39:23

vessels decorated with animal head

39:26

the geometric patterns then

39:28

ceremonial mistakes

39:30

and i'm not sure that i'm pronouncing that right

39:33

the

39:34

they they thought that these would have

39:36

been a type of thrones now imitate

39:39

the

39:41

it is

39:42

it's like i can have a big cars

39:45

is that they used to crush

39:48

great l and you take

39:50

you take a big heavy roles

39:52

stone and you roll it back and forth

39:54

over that's a huge and the

39:56

green now why they thought this was part

39:58

of a throne i

39:59

i i never did find an exact

40:02

answer to that

40:03

but i know that's what imitate is

40:07

fisher went on to say this

40:09

he said some of them at eight legs

40:12

the puzzling markings on

40:14

one set of cross by indeed

40:16

motifs according to archaeologist

40:19

who examined

40:20

resemble i my and skiba

40:23

now and similar to depictions

40:26

of the night sky found

40:28

under seated figures in

40:30

sculptures at chichen

40:32

itza in mexico

40:34

so that's where animals but we

40:36

saw some my and influence

40:40

in artifacts that were fail

40:43

but it's not exactly

40:44

in so that's more evidence that

40:47

the people of was see that

40:49

blanca were not mine

40:52

but

40:53

you know had

40:54

it obvious contact traded

40:56

with them or something yeah

40:59

ah

41:01

spain did motifs are often associated

41:03

with gods and objects of power

41:06

in the mayan were

41:07

the page also display many puzzling

41:10

pseudo glyphs on them that have

41:12

really yet to be studied now this was

41:14

from in two thousand and seventeen

41:17

two thousand eighty but

41:19

there's still no evidence that they have

41:21

figured out anything further right

41:24

by studying these artist

41:26

researchers discovered that the artifacts

41:29

had originally been placed together on a

41:31

red clay floor

41:33

i arranged around a central figure

41:35

of importance which was a sculpture

41:38

of a vulture several

41:40

of the vessels placed around the sculpture

41:43

had a carving depicting a strange

41:45

humanoid figure with a triangular

41:48

has

41:49

that had hello eyes and an

41:51

open mouth on a wizard looking

41:53

body this

41:55

is a coin to national geographic in

41:59

this carving

41:59

is believed to represent a desk

42:03

hell no

42:05

yeah so i went it is

42:07

it

42:08

when when i read this a be there is

42:10

a i can't remember

42:12

his

42:14

i think i want to say

42:16

maybe it's resident evil

42:18

the

42:20

there is a there is a character in

42:22

i'm in a video game in a more horror

42:25

type videogame pyramid head

42:27

oh so

42:30

when i read this that that was the image

42:32

that immediately came to mind so

42:35

i went and i look

42:37

are you know ancient d these were

42:39

the triangular shaped head

42:42

all easy on tried some different he words

42:44

everything that came up was egyptian

42:46

in some fashion

42:47

the

42:49

the or less because the way the

42:51

artwork of hieroglyphics and sculpture

42:54

were you know that

42:56

you know a new buses head was very

42:58

triangular it wasn't exactly

43:00

what i was looking for

43:02

yeah i'm so i didn't see anything

43:04

else is as far as

43:06

the any other groups in that area

43:09

worshipping a deity where the triangular

43:11

head

43:12

or having a

43:14

how similar something similar

43:16

to a a a god of death

43:19

the that would have a triangular

43:21

shaped head

43:22

that's very very interesting

43:25

so am eighty eight

43:27

really pushes the facts

43:30

this was a civilization that

43:32

we essentially no zero about

43:35

there you know that it's it's different

43:37

from the ones that we you know we

43:39

do know about and we've studied for the

43:42

old decades and decades we don't

43:44

know anything about these and it's obvious

43:46

they're different the are so

43:49

that that really makes it even even

43:51

more strange

43:53

the

43:54

that they abandon the city

43:56

then

43:58

just left everything

43:59

the law and were gone either they were wiped

44:02

out are they moved to another

44:04

area maybe they began to intermingle with

44:06

another one of and each has gonna say is

44:08

if they moved what's

44:10

strange to me in

44:13

there when vas

44:15

tags the maya the mood

44:18

you knew they moved because in their

44:20

new area they started the same

44:23

our work the same language

44:26

the same building types

44:29

in another area so you could say okay

44:31

they move from here to hear the

44:33

new civilization we

44:35

don't see it pop up anywhere else

44:38

we don't have now

44:40

there may be archaeologist in

44:42

listening that say no we actually do

44:44

and here's one it's any that's the case

44:47

then hit me up and let me know but

44:49

as far as far research that i've done

44:52

we don't see this same

44:56

depictions of stuff the

44:58

in another culture that weekend

45:01

research and figure out who this was

45:03

exactly so if they moved

45:06

they had do have jumped in with

45:08

the maya or something and completely

45:11

lost what they were

45:13

doing and just took up the maya stuff

45:16

but it is weird to me that this is the only

45:19

area that they found any

45:22

it is really weird

45:24

the

45:25

it you know if if we if

45:28

we can speculate

45:30

the added that

45:31

good at that

45:34

so so

45:37

the last inhabitants of the city

45:39

the there

45:40

they're getting the hell outta dodge

45:43

the gather up their most precious sacred

45:45

objects and less them as a final

45:48

offering to the gods

45:50

there's they departed

45:52

nine some cases breaking them

45:55

as away to release their spirits right

45:57

right

45:58

so you know when they when they say

45:59

this area

46:01

everything was congregated in

46:04

and such a fashion that it

46:06

was it just this was where this stuff

46:08

was right now he of this was

46:11

the it just everything stopped

46:13

and where it was is where was it

46:15

look harper school because

46:17

it was all gathered up

46:19

yeah

46:21

in l a

46:23

what my what appeared to be a symbolic offer

46:25

i wasn't like pompei were

46:28

everything was where it was it does this

46:30

stop yeah didn't pause on a visa

46:32

your yup

46:33

yeah

46:35

yeah maybe write everything the

46:37

case the area that they found

46:39

this stuff he on a was a pretty small

46:41

area the a graphically

46:43

speaking for a dig site in

46:46

a town those two hundred pieces

46:48

in that small area the only

46:50

was like people brought it there and

46:52

left it there

46:53

that's because they actually found three

46:56

separate locations but they were only

46:58

able to eggs great one of right

47:00

because they couldn't stay there were all getting sick

47:06

again why the city was a bane and

47:08

will never the least

47:10

not with any certainty

47:13

one ways we said earlier one

47:15

hypothesis is that the inhabitants

47:17

were plagued by diseases

47:19

not necessarily the parasite

47:22

the but the diseases brought by the european

47:25

invasion

47:26

which

47:27

your eyes we said is ineffective a lot

47:29

of a lot of the indigenous people

47:32

this particular article said it

47:34

decimated up to ninety five

47:36

percent of the indigenous

47:38

wow the i mean it's it's

47:40

amazing what a common cold

47:42

can do is the of you've never been

47:45

exposed to the i've you have no

47:47

antibodies to at and rec you

47:49

man

47:50

that's like the ah the the say and now you

47:52

get people little say

47:55

oh you know you gotta let kids

47:57

play gotta let him get dirty and all

47:59

that yeah eat dirt

48:02

and play with snakes and the

48:04

frogs and bugs in all this guess

48:07

that's how they build immunity

48:08

there is some definite truth

48:11

of yeah okay

48:13

why

48:16

the

48:16

sometimes i think is just

48:19

it's just the way parents become

48:22

you know if you're a new if you're a

48:24

new pair

48:25

the

48:26

if your baby drops the past far

48:28

you pick it up you clean it off you wash

48:30

it off sterilize it in any give

48:32

it back to at the time you get to number

48:34

five you're you're gonna wipe

48:36

it off or your about yeah

48:38

the you summer join wipe it off like

48:41

visibly dirty a on us

48:43

soil extra flavor

48:45

no yeah oh yeah

48:48

and there's probably some truth in that to

48:50

i i think there is some truth in and the

48:52

i'm nine letting

48:55

them expose themselves

48:57

to some things because i

48:59

mean it does urine antibodies

49:02

then learn in small amounts

49:04

this is not good i find it right

49:07

there's also a dna component

49:10

to your immune system they

49:12

get passed on for generations

49:15

they have found neanderthal

49:17

gene in our

49:19

immune genes when

49:22

i looked it homo sapiens

49:24

sapiens they found neanderthal

49:26

us greens and

49:28

narrow that we head

49:31

hey can

49:32

the wrong the neanderthals back

49:34

in the day when we intermingled

49:36

will say and

49:39

that was that good immune system gene

49:41

so homo sapiens homo sapiens

49:43

in so there is a genetic

49:46

component as well and is your

49:48

ancestors were exposed

49:50

to any of this in did

49:52

not pass on that gene

49:55

for making this

49:57

antibody then you're not gonna

49:59

either the new get exposed to it even

50:01

in a small amount and

50:04

you may get super sick from

50:07

the

50:11

and

50:16

talking about one of my sponsors and one

50:18

of our favorite a ,

50:21

yearbook oh yeah i'm i'm i'm

50:23

telling you you you haven't

50:25

experienced rey cause you're

50:27

missing out for so

50:29

many reasons i'm but for

50:31

reasons i'm the ease in function

50:34

and comfort in where you

50:37

gotta give much right

50:40

hands everyday your bus which

50:43

is what i say

50:45

, and feel and sound

50:47

better than they ever have have

50:50

, specialized ,

50:52

deal with

50:55

a lot of headphones these

50:59

are these are super soft they're

51:01

, soft and they allow

51:03

you to have them for sixteen insane

51:06

and you almost forget

51:09

that you've got him on and they will

51:11

not come on i

51:13

, i like to wear mine mine

51:16

i'm laying down a like to where i'm

51:18

certain the certain the

51:21

, i have taken

51:24

a swear on and off they get off

51:26

my sunglasses on my hands

51:28

off there never i've

51:30

never had one

51:32

fallout four hundred it's

51:35

amazing how how well they fit

51:37

but they they how hurt like some of

51:39

them hurt your ears because

51:41

they're shoved in there somewhere to these don't

51:44

raid condos not and the go thing

51:46

is like you i wear mine all the time

51:48

i'm aware want to go to the gym and

51:50

were at one am doing projects around

51:52

my house and stuff and that's

51:55

and cool thing because they had that noise isolation

51:57

mode which is one of my favorite modes

52:00

they have and it allows me to

52:02

do like i can

52:04

run the saw and will be listening

52:06

to music and it knocks

52:08

down some of that saw noise as if i

52:10

was wearing earplugs but i also

52:13

get to listen to music and i can

52:15

go all day that way because they give you eight

52:17

hours of playtime and in the box

52:19

as of thirty two hour battery life so

52:22

you could have , in

52:24

and the other one charging and just flip flop back

52:26

and forth for thirty two hours straight

52:28

yeah it's it's amazing you

52:30

get all that that their

52:32

price just right because you get quality

52:35

audio at half the price of

52:37

other premium audio premium

52:40

which is incredible and i mentioned

52:42

the noise modes a the noise isolation

52:44

mode they have multiple other

52:46

modes they have a the awareness

52:49

mode which allows you to

52:51

listen to music but still

52:53

hear people talking to you they

52:55

have a customizable sound profiles

52:58

and they had the ear bud tap functions

53:00

lot more secrets and my guess

53:59

is yet nine found this

54:01

giant muggy statue right

54:03

okay which i would i would really want

54:05

to know is is actually they are they would be

54:08

that would be the the kicker

54:11

as far as know and that what

54:13

they found is actually

54:15

this young the ciudad blanca from

54:18

the ledge

54:19

they may find this tip it up

54:21

his mouth is gonna open an

54:24

infectious murder hornets are gonna come

54:26

out an incentive spread some

54:29

nice when nice assist everybody for murder

54:31

hornets things and is right well for don't

54:33

we should have put that bags in that we should

54:35

know messed around with it around thousand

54:37

years now they're going to be going let's tell you the story

54:39

about why we don't have face yeah

54:42

exactly what we're we're what faceless

54:44

society because of la ciudad blanca

54:47

and it was his monkey statue and

54:50

it , the twenty twenty so they should have

54:52

known better than to screw around with his stuff

54:55

what they did it anyway

54:58

you know and

55:00

like a third was pressed as as it's unlikely

55:03

that we're ever gonna be able to figure

55:05

out more about

55:07

this particular location because

55:09

it is so extraordinarily dangerous

55:12

to even make the trip right

55:14

now honduras has

55:17

always been one of the poorest places

55:19

and central america and

55:21

you do recent political strife

55:24

most of the country is considered to be

55:26

unsafe for travel by foreigners

55:29

especially western now okay

55:32

the northeast corner of the country

55:34

where the mosquito coast is an

55:36

the a la ciudad want are located

55:39

is there to be the most dangerous

55:41

part this and

55:43

as region

55:46

it was in i was actually

55:49

in the jungle preston

55:51

and the team encountered everything

55:53

from quit my day

55:55

the deadly fertility vipers

55:58

the only to arrive in

55:59

the attacked by a flesh eating parasite

56:03

n you know he

56:06

to tell his story

56:08

it is it's amazing he said that

56:11

they got to honduras

56:13

and it was like seventy degrees

56:16

ball me know insects no

56:18

rain was gorgeous new the

56:20

i what's the big deal asparagus

56:23

56:40

56:43

i remember that years one at that

56:46

56:51

got back on the trail and then oh crap

56:54

there is a six foot long for the lamps

56:56

the

56:58

he said one of the members of their

57:00

expedition was and a british

57:03

58:24

this thing venomous it's like

58:26

newton acid

58:28

and and so he he said

58:31

58:34

the british the british warfare expert

58:36

he he knew that he had it

58:38

58:48

he get cut the head off even

58:51

after they got there head off

58:53

58:56

the jungle and the head is still spit

59:00

the to ancient a half long things

59:08

an adult and also with it i don't like snakes

59:10

59:13

i don't mind snakes but i don't like the ones

59:15

59:17

poisonous runs or any large constrictors

59:19

i'm not a big fan of you

59:22

may corn snake i'll take a corn snake

59:25

note this is the first nine

59:27

yeah okay let me know they

59:30

they've barely even gotten started and

59:32

and this is how

59:34

he tells another story of one of

59:36

the i

59:38

think it was one of the either one of the journalist

59:41

or the one of the honduran archaeologist

59:44

they actually

59:45

almost lost in

59:47

what he calls quick mode which is

59:49

similar to

59:51

the idea of quicksand

59:54

they were trying to trudge through this

59:56

and know we're going slowly that

59:58

see it started so

59:59

now he has it that you know bubble

1:00:02

started some of that they had to wrestle her out

1:00:04

of it took several of them to get around

1:00:06

can you imagine that

1:00:08

would that would freak me out

1:00:10

almost as bad as the snake near

1:00:13

near going down getting sucked

1:00:15

into this and when i was a kid i thought

1:00:17

quicksand was gonna be a big issue because it

1:00:19

was on all the shows we watch and

1:00:22

allow turns out i don't run into quicksand

1:00:25

except for one time and for and eye

1:00:27

on the beach then then

1:00:29

and only sucked me and of a nice why

1:00:33

i mean to be getting sucked down in

1:00:35

a puddle a mud and you know if

1:00:37

you get to a certain point even if your head doesn't

1:00:40

go under it's gonna keep you from breathing

1:00:43

then you're going to suffocate in the mud puddle

1:00:46

that's crazy can you imagine

1:00:48

how deep that mud had to be to

1:00:50

for that a half hour yeah yeah

1:00:52

it's it's it's insane

1:00:55

then you know other than just having

1:00:57

a big neon sign on the edge of the jungle

1:00:59

go and go away yeah a mania

1:01:02

what else what else do you need to

1:01:04

say work

1:01:05

that was to be here now no

1:01:07

room for you here please leave

1:01:09

the jungle does not want us yeah

1:01:11

okay

1:01:13

but they did they did try

1:01:15

john and you know as as we discussed

1:01:17

they found the artifacts and everything but

1:01:20

there is no evidence that these ruins

1:01:23

that they found are actually the legendary

1:01:25

white city i didn't

1:01:27

find giant of white sculptures

1:01:29

anywhere

1:01:30

right right and

1:01:33

n n h believe that there were

1:01:35

many powerful ancient

1:01:37

cities that existed in the jungles

1:01:39

of honduras i'm sure he'll say

1:01:42

could have found another one that either way

1:01:44

this is an amazing discovery oh yeah

1:01:46

i'm even if it's not the white city

1:01:49

it's it's it's fascinating

1:01:51

the and then i call it city of

1:01:53

a jaguar instead of continuing city

1:01:55

of the white city is

1:01:57

because they they weren't one hundred percent

1:01:59

sure and i knew that area would

1:02:01

kill you because there's jaguar so and

1:02:04

they found a lotta of carvings of jaguar

1:02:07

him so

1:02:09

that's how it got it's name there

1:02:13

n n some carvings and in many

1:02:15

of the artifacts

1:02:16

had jaguar images

1:02:18

so

1:02:20

we don't we don't know

1:02:22

okay

1:02:25

but it's it's amazing

1:02:27

the

1:02:29

this place went undiscovered

1:02:31

essentially for

1:02:33

five hundred years old more yeah

1:02:36

we we don't really know if

1:02:38

they found it

1:02:39

in nineteen forties if this

1:02:42

is where

1:02:43

the

1:02:45

what's the guy's name mode

1:02:47

the are more day

1:02:49

more more day

1:02:51

we don't know is this is the site

1:02:53

bit more day actually fail because he

1:02:55

didn't share it right way neighborly

1:02:58

it would never go back i would almost be

1:03:00

willing to bet it's not the

1:03:02

cause for two reasons

1:03:04

one he didn't didn't talk about

1:03:06

all the crazy dangerous

1:03:09

when he got out and to

1:03:11

he apparently brought back you

1:03:14

wanted save two hundred certain

1:03:16

a bunch of the

1:03:20

the pieces from that

1:03:22

area the and when

1:03:25

they found there's

1:03:27

masuda blanca what they thought was that

1:03:30

the that

1:03:32

area had not been looted

1:03:35

i knew was not there

1:03:37

was not evidence of someone being in there

1:03:39

and taking pieces and

1:03:42

leaving other pieces

1:03:43

so

1:03:45

i i think he found another one

1:03:47

or he found another piece of this

1:03:50

one city and didn't get to

1:03:52

that main plaza area that they got

1:03:55

to why he

1:03:58

in my opinion

1:03:59

there are

1:04:02

places in the world that

1:04:04

humans they

1:04:06

didn't know

1:04:08

period

1:04:09

don't need to go but but should not go

1:04:11

period

1:04:12

then i think

1:04:13

the jungles and in

1:04:16

the areas let you know

1:04:18

that my if you're

1:04:21

if you're supposed to be in an area and

1:04:23

you'll you'll notice this with is it

1:04:26

like we're talking about

1:04:29

hey an elemental isn't stuff and how

1:04:32

the ocean for you is like

1:04:35

the the woods are for

1:04:37

me i feel comfortable i

1:04:39

feel relaxed

1:04:41

and at home things work out

1:04:43

for me there everything is

1:04:45

fine and i think if you're supposed

1:04:48

to be in an area nature will show

1:04:50

you that nature will say you're

1:04:52

fine to be here let me help you out

1:04:54

discreetly respectfully and i'll help

1:04:56

you if you're not supposed

1:04:59

to be in an area it will also give you

1:05:01

a lot of signs that you

1:05:03

need to get the hell out of there the

1:05:05

and lance jaguars

1:05:08

jaguar only quick mud like

1:05:11

manassas all things that say

1:05:13

you should not be in an area that

1:05:15

humans need to stay out in

1:05:19

it may have been that way from

1:05:22

the beginning and this pre colombian

1:05:24

society that popped up there

1:05:27

may have popped up there and then when they

1:05:29

tried to the

1:05:32

pain the wilderness in

1:05:34

that area and they quickly found

1:05:36

out no this area

1:05:39

is not for humans we should not

1:05:41

be here and they move an

1:05:44

eight may have been the

1:05:47

you know a could be if you wanna

1:05:49

taken along the curse line and

1:05:51

the elemental line this

1:05:54

may be a place that is cursed

1:05:57

but the civilization that was

1:05:59

their didn't her said they

1:06:01

were just the first victims of

1:06:03

the curse this the

1:06:06

area has probably been

1:06:08

the pursued for probably

1:06:12

since the beginning of time when it popped

1:06:14

up in this

1:06:16

is not an area for humans and they found

1:06:18

that out and then this research

1:06:20

group found that out and anybody who

1:06:22

goes in there later we'll find that out this is

1:06:24

not an area that you need to be so

1:06:26

i think there is there

1:06:29

are is the leader

1:06:31

the to the curse i

1:06:33

don't think the

1:06:35

cold your first it i

1:06:37

think they just found out

1:06:40

this is a

1:06:42

very first place and nature

1:06:44

once you else there could me some

1:06:47

the you know i like this ancient spirit

1:06:50

from the beginning of time

1:06:52

that lives in this area this

1:06:54

is their domain and that's how they

1:06:57

keep you out rather than manifesting

1:06:59

and screaming at you go out

1:07:01

likely haunted houses do they

1:07:04

just send their natural

1:07:07

the fences at you

1:07:10

i mean it is just i

1:07:13

know it sounds crazy say this but it makes

1:07:16

perfect sense

1:07:18

that natured says this is

1:07:20

not for you know this this

1:07:23

and any and we talked about this is

1:07:25

the beginning of the show

1:07:28

you know why the jungle would just take it

1:07:30

back

1:07:31

and

1:07:31

my idea is it's not just

1:07:33

the john

1:07:34

okay

1:07:35

the the jungle would be

1:07:38

the planet earth

1:07:41

hitting new with that knockout punch

1:07:43

now okay yeah

1:07:46

it is all over the planet

1:07:48

is hits you with the jabs

1:07:51

and body blows everything

1:07:53

and you just have to keep fighting back

1:07:56

the

1:07:57

if you've ever watched one of those

1:07:59

the

1:08:01

the first day after humans

1:08:03

are gone now this is

1:08:05

a year

1:08:06

after humans are going

1:08:09

you know yettaw speculative

1:08:11

the it's not wrong know

1:08:15

you know things would begin to flourish

1:08:18

in the natural

1:08:20

flora and fauna of an area

1:08:22

will take it over the ever seen

1:08:24

an abandoned house or an old born

1:08:26

or anything like that look just look

1:08:29

a mainstay of vines will grow on

1:08:31

it i mean it it's rotting away

1:08:33

it's been torn apart by

1:08:35

nothing but nature whether

1:08:37

it's

1:08:38

plant or animal

1:08:41

four elements the it

1:08:43

it will destroy you

1:08:45

over time without human

1:08:48

intervention to prevent that from happening

1:08:51

okay

1:08:53

even even the largest city

1:08:55

the most urban place you can imagine

1:08:58

will fall victim to

1:09:00

this yeah

1:09:02

you know the human race doesn't do

1:09:04

something to keep nature at

1:09:06

bay right so

1:09:09

i i you know i've heard of because we've

1:09:11

talked about other last places

1:09:14

where whether it's in the jungle or

1:09:16

in the oceans

1:09:18

the the planet just gonna says

1:09:22

this man

1:09:24

the you know you can't have it anymore

1:09:26

the and takes you back

1:09:28

right i'm and i i i

1:09:30

suddenly believe that

1:09:32

then you know when when people

1:09:35

love this george this george carlin say

1:09:37

this years and years and years ago

1:09:40

where he said

1:09:41

everybody's worried about plastic destroying

1:09:44

the planet you're destroying the planet with these

1:09:46

plastic grocery bags and these plastic bottles

1:09:48

you're destroying the planet it's

1:09:51

like

1:09:52

eventually the planet will just be

1:09:55

the

1:09:56

was biased

1:09:58

it'll just say okay

1:09:59

whatever

1:10:01

many site we're we're not destroy

1:10:03

anything

1:10:04

there ain't you know the the planet will take

1:10:06

care of itself why in there and they've found

1:10:09

bacteria that he plastic now no

1:10:12

esoteric will figure out a way if we

1:10:14

quit doing quit merits will figure out

1:10:16

a way n

1:10:19

and the earth will figure out a way to

1:10:21

take humans out absolutely my area

1:10:24

that they shouldn't be absolutely

1:10:27

i may not as i believe that wholehearted

1:10:29

right so this is a point in the show where we

1:10:31

say what are you think and and we've

1:10:33

given you a lot to think about

1:10:36

do you think that maybe this

1:10:40

expedition in two thousand

1:10:43

thousand actually pounds

1:10:45

the ciudad blanca the

1:10:48

think they found another city

1:10:50

and will see it that blanca is still out there

1:10:52

somewhere

1:10:54

what do you think about nature taking

1:10:56

things over you know that

1:10:58

all these all these

1:11:00

deadly things that they had to

1:11:03

face and come in contact with in

1:11:05

order to even get

1:11:07

the location

1:11:10

it it push them back

1:11:12

extraordinarily hard what are you saying
