I have never heard of the comic-con child dissapearances. I must say that is the most disturbing one. Imagine being a young lad or lass getting the oppurtunity to dress up as your favorite character and perhaps meet the real person who portrayed them, only to be stolen from your dream and doomed to unimaginable suffering. It actually breaks my heart.
Kids unfortunately get kidnaped at all kinds of places it would make sense places like comic con would be targeted more the question is why isn't security being improved for these such events why slack about matters like these?
Its really not some giant conspiracy it likely is just a bunch of creeps who realize that kids are there with friends and if you just act as or are a voice actor or big figure you could groom and kid nap kids. Pretty sad nonetheless and comic-con needs more security tbh
In Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the book that inspired Blade Runner, The Nexus 6 was a model of androids, and they sort of skipped to the Nexus 8, but there's a theory that the Nexus 7 model existed in-universe but was not mass-produced as they could reproduce with humans. I'm guessing the conspiracy theory is that some people among us could be androids similar to the Nexus 7 and be virtually indistinguishable from humans.
Glad you mentioned this because I swore nexus something was the name of the androids that were virtually indistinguishable from humans in the book. Never seen blade runner though. I hope he eventually figured this out, thanks

Fun Fact: Holotrophic Breathworks is actually a method of kinda-mind-control used most commonly by cults, basically over breathing in quick succession like that dosn't allow your body to process the oxygen correctly / quickly enough and if done for long enough it can cause serious problems like shotness of breath, mild hallucinations, and even hard to think or come up with ideas, I think you can put two and two together on why cults would like all of those things for controlling members.
My theory for the dropa stones is actually very mundane: it belonged to a native civilization and studying more about it would de-legitimise chinese claims to that territory
Ah a classic, refuse to acknowledge the more than likely reasonable explanation that it was simply a native population and instead jump to aliens cuz clearly only 'modernized, cultured' people have technology
The dolphin one is absolutely true. They even understand syntax, it’s so sad we keep intelligent creatures (apes too) in confinement, you can see them become legitimately depressed

When I was 13-14(I forgot), at a popular anime convention I had a dude sit next to me when I was alone in the back room of a anime seeing I branched off if my old friend group cause we all had different things we wanted to do. This dude was quiet for awhile, he started asking me questions, my name, if I like anime, slowly getting more personal every few minutes. I hunored him thinking he was awkward, the room was dark. Then after a pause I looked at him, he was older, like 20 lookin, just shorter. I then put together he was texring on his phone once or twice like he was getting prompts. Then he asked me age and if I was alone, I forgot what my response was but I just got up and left. The guard at the door who's supposed to watch the room was on the phone, outside the door non shalauntly I just had a panic attack while pacing the building making sure I didn't see him or anyone looking for me or at me with intent. I was very paranoid. My parents or friends never took it seriously and I feel like I over reacted. But I did make mistakes which let it to happen but really reminds me to look out for other people nowadays to know.
holy shit- that’s terrifying. i’ve never had an experience like that at comicon, though i’m a few years older than you were and i go to a smaller convention than the typical big comicon events. i’m so glad you’re safe,, and that’s definitely sus asf.

Nexus 7 Theory goes as follows: The Nexus 7 used to explode in peoples hands all the time because the lithium battery would get too hot. Same thing with the Galaxy Note. This was the reason why those 2 specific electronics (and many more) were not allowed on airplanes. Basically the theory goes that manufacturers, whether US or not, would put C4 inside the phones and make them explode at random so it seemed like it was just the phones issue, when it was actually a failed depopulation plan. Pretty fucking wild. Another theory goes that the Nexus 7 laptops and tablets when broken apart would have strange, and seemingly useless objects unattached to anything electrical, making it seem like it has some sort of tracking device or one of the C4s.
Just to add onto “the Sea People” they weren’t just a blip because they actually were probably what caused the Bronze Age collapse. Which saw Egypt, the Hitties and others lose there great empires and trade routes. The sea people started a literal dark age.
That's the simplified and probably outdated version of this theory. Many contemporary scholars believe that the sea peoples were one of many factors among others (such as famine, draughts, volcanic eruptions, economical and political crises, etc.), and were possibly even themselves just victims of whatever caused the so called Bronze Age Collapse, and that they originally went to Egypt, Anatolia, and the Levant as refugees rather than as conquerors or pillagers. They also weren't one unified people, but a conglomeration of several ethnically and linguistically diverse peoples, who probably came from all over the Mediterranean islands and costal regions.
@@suranumitu7734 Yeah exactly. History RU-vidr Epimetheus made an interesting video about who they were and where they came from, and his videos about Bronze Age civilizations and the collape of the Bronze Age are quite interesting.
@@suranumitu7734 Theories are always being updated. Probably in 40 years the Sea Peoples will once again be seen as the driving force behind the Bronze Age collapse. Twenty years after that, it'll be javelins, then earthquakes again.
The comic-con theory is similar to one about the Kentucky Derby. So. Many. People. get trafficked during the derby every year it's insane. It's considered to be the second most popular major event for human trafficking in the country, after the Super Bowl. In 2019, the last time that the derby happened in person (in 2020 they didn't have the fans), reports came out saying that it was really bad, with survivor testimonies as to how big the ring is and how bad it is at the derby, but then there were lots of other reports saying not to worry about it. Even the jockeys have been accused of and convicted for human trafficking. People don't really talk about it a lot, and Triple Crown doesn't really talk about it or make statements on it, so it's really concerning. Also, to comment on the Ky meat shower: I'm not surprised... have you seen mid-west weather?!! XD It snows one day and its 80 the next day, it's the wildest thing.
As a Kentuckian that lives near Louisville, the Kentucky Meat Shower is one of my favorite random things to tell people about. I didn’t know about the derby though. 🤔 most the people that live here have never been and only have a party on derby day just for the sake of partying and gambling.
So this is super true. I work as a front desk agent for hilton, since the superbowl was in our town, we had to take super intensive courses on how to spot and prevent human trafficking. Its crazy.
as someone who lives in kentucky, this state is a fucking cryptid lol the human trafficking thing would explain why even though i could probably get discounted tickets (my dad does camera stuff), i've never been to the derby. maybe my parents are just worried about that. meat shower is just plain weird tbh, i dont remember if it's ever been explained

in anime expo (an anime convention) which I went to yearly in LA, had a child protection services in the building for minors that were being targeted can quickly go to for help. It's a real thing that happens, especially parents tend to let their underaged cosplaying kids to go ALONE to such a place with a demographic filled with adults and even adult content. Please let it be known s@xual abuse does happen even in places like that. Due to quarantine, those things have been shut down, but to be honest I'm glad because no children can be subject to such horrible events for now.
@Wobbuffet it’s a lot easier than you think to be assaulted in a crowded space, sometimes even easier than in an open space because everyone is distracted. As for abductions they usually lead them outside away from crowds to their vehicles with coercion
The Black Hope Curse sounds more like a regular old ghost story more than a conspiracy theory. Makes me wonder where folklore ends and conspiracy begins...
Conspiracy is just reading folklore without your glasses on. So many conspiracy theories are just conclusions jumped to by theorists who don't get all their facts in order before they start making baseless claims.
For example i feel the same about "himalayan zombies". Just some local folklore thing. Only interesting part beyond that i think is that the local tour guides seem to warn people about them, and make it seem they exist. That in all honestly might just be these guy messing with the tourists for fun. Back in the day i think australians even had legend made up just to mess with tourists "drop bear" basicly bear like small creature that will drop from trees on to you if you walk under them, and they said something silly for tourists to do for protection against the dangerous "drop bear".
The Kentucky meat shower was most likely vultures, who often vomit when stressed to be able to escape faster. Something happened around a large group of vultures which cause them to all begin projectile vomiting. The cause of a the vomiting is unknown, but not too hard to guess.
@@isalesme015 I reckon meat or general food is fairly rare in rural 18th century america. If the meat looks good and doesn't smell funny, probably safe to eat after cooking it dry

8:35 this one has absolutely no backing, snow can last a while, especially when it’s densely packed from things such as snow plows clearing parking lots into just a few large piles, and actually does char before it melts when exposed to flames. You can try it if there’s any snow around, just about all snow does this, and it’s more common and more noticeable in polluted snow
Pure snow should not char. If the snow would be pure it would be like pure water, and there is nothing to char. Its either from residue of the flame you use to melt it or more likely pollution. In every where outside of complete wilderness there will be pollution on the snow from cars, and so on.
I was actually in a dnd campaign that had the "plateaus are petrified tree stumps, and all trees on earth are not fully grown" conspiracy as its basis. (If theres a more concise name for this theory please let me know.)
the comic con one makes me extremely sad. as an avid cosplayer and con attender,, I couldn't imagine taking pictures with a kid in cosplay to only find out that they were kidnapped. absolutely breaks my heart
The Sea People maaaaay have been responsible for the Bronze Age Collapse, or at least a symptom of the greater issues that caused the collapse of the Bronze Age.
@spud lordand there is a theory that the sea people were a conglomeration of people who just kinda had it with what was basically an apocalyptic event and went postal.
thank you for being so chill with your videos. i have cognitohazard issues, and i can't normally watch videos with conspiracy theories or scp stuff, but i can with ur vids because you don't pull all the horror movie bullshit with creepy music, low voice slow words etc. so yeah. u probably wont even see this but thank you for being a window to things i really want to enjoy that i can actually look through :)
Lol, my dad works in pesticide research and it seems even most people in his field clown on Monsanto. I didn't get it until we were watching a documentary on nuclear weapons and in one scene with old footage of the U.S. test, lo and behold on the fences were signs that read something like "Warning, weapons testing site, administered by Monsanto." They really got their hands in everything.
WAIT! I might know what Nexus 7 is. In Blade Runner (and in the original Book, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep), the Replicants/Androids that were nearly indistinguishable from humans were Nexus 6 models. In the film Blade Runner, the character of Rachael who had implanted memories, while not explicitly called such, is often believed to be a Nexus 7, the next evolution of Replicant technology. (Blade Runner 2049 all but confirms this by having her serial number start with N7).
@eureka_7479 Possibly? Or it could just be talking about the theory among Blade Runner Fans that Deckard is a Nexus 7, and whoever was compiling the Iceberg included it because it is, by definition, a conspiracy theory, albeit one from a film rather than real life.
The dedication of this man is wild, I can't tell if he's got a script or just rattling off the stuff committed to memory. It's so genuine and refreshing. Keep up the great work!
The "black" snow happens when dirty fuel, ie that from a common lighter, leaves soot on the snow because the flame isn't hot enough to melt the snow faster than said soot can accumulate. Try using a butane/propane torch. That snow is normal snow. There are many kinds of natural snow that would also melt at different rates due to many many many weather conditions and other natural factors.
So the Gettysburg elevator story actually occurred in Penn Hall (now the college's administration building) which was used as a hospital during the battle. Standard medical practice for the day was that if you got shot in a limb, the limb was amputated, and they regularly just threw the limbs out the window, in this case onto a grassy lawn now known as Stein Lake; it's not an actual lake, but the limbs were later buried and decomposed below ground, and every time it rained, the ground would collapse a little more and the lawn would flood.
The sea people is actually an incredibly interesting factor in the bronze age collapse, which I would highly recommend reading up on. - thank you so much for not calling them litteral fish people. The most that we know about them comes from Egypt, mainly monuments about their defeat. They had ravaged other bronze age civilizations, such as Minoa (and I believe the syrians?), and were only stopped by Egypt. Now it's important to note that these monuments were made to glorify the victory, and commissioned by the pharaoh at the time - so bronze age propaganda and therefore can't be taken at face value. The main theory is that they were a band of mercenaries from the north, who gained strength through recruitment as they went. There were a lot of wars going on at the time, backed by ravaging famines. So mercenaries were pricy, and extremely hard to pay. Egypt however, was pretty rich and would have been worth plundering to make up for the lack of mercenary pay. But yeah main point -ths sea peoples contributed greatly to the bronze age collapse which is the closest humanity has seen to an apocalypse probably ever. It's been a while since I read any of my sources though so take this comment with a grain of salt.
"But yeah main point -ths sea peoples contributed greatly to the bronze age collapse which is the closest humanity has seen to an apocalypse probably ever." Uhmmm you know people existed outside of europe, north africa and the middle east right?
@@BibleStorm oh yeah for sure. At the time China had hands down the most advanced bronze casting techniques and were basically unaffected by the whole thing. I don't remember my history well enough to remember exactly what they were going through at the time but I'm pretty sure it had nothing to do with it. That being said, a handful of powerhouse civs collapsing all at once and leaving a previously flourishing area absolutely desolate by war and famines and power vacuums is still pretty apocalyptic. I didn't bring up litterally everyone else because this one phenomenon just didn't effect them. Like sorry for not discussing what was happening in Mezoamerica when I made a RU-vid comment about the bronze age collapse, a phenomenon centered around the Mediterranean.
@@AdrielClaflin Well you did compare the disappearance of some Mediterranean cultures to "the apocalypse". Perhaps you understand my confusion regarding your choice of wording.
syria wasnt a thing back than but rather some western mesopotamian coastal cities and also some battles of bible, troy and the diarchy of sparta might be linked to this major event
I lived in Murfreesboro, TN for a while. The Battle of Stones River (one of the bloodiest Civil War battles, some 20,000 total casualties) took place there. Part of the actual battlefield is built over now, and part is still preserved as a field, cemetery, and preserved monuments. Sometimes a deep fog rolls over and people hear gunshots and screams.

There's an asian food place near my home in Pennsylvania that hands out Falun Gong brochures to customers when they leave. Food and service was awesome, outside the store is a big sign detailing the crimes of the Chinese Government, with links to information. Thought people would enjoy the personal story.
...you know falun gong are anti-vax qanons, right? they believe that they can gain telepathy through meditation. they are also violently homophobic and believe that mixed-race people lose ability to get into heaven or whatever the fuck. they have a compound where members aren't allowed to use medicine. i have no idea why wendigoon is acting like they're just esoteric buddhists, they are literally a cult.
while the chinese government is generally awful, and no one should be tortured, murdered, etc for their religious beliefs, a lot of the things Falun gong believes are pretty... questionable, to say the least. the enemy of our enemy is not automatically our friend, to be honest. its good that they are speaking out against the government that greatly mistreated them, though.

as a writer, just watching through all the icebergs is great. i remember specifically going through the biblical iceberg video and looking at what ideas would be interesting to explore within a fictional universe, like the angels, nephilim, enoch and some of the other lesser-known figures.
That Black Hope Curse story is easily the standout entry in this video for me. I live in Houston, about ~50 minutes from that Newport subdivision. I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this before.

Hermeneutics is actually a discipline in historical fields wich can be described as "the science of interpretation". It's just a methodology to correctly interpret ancient texts. that implies serching for the historical context of the text, ideas commonly discussed in those times, possible reasons on why that text was written etc. There are different approaches to hermeneutics which can be kinda weird (like the phenomenological aproach) but effective nontheless. I had a semester of hermeneutics at University and it was fun idk why this is in an iceberg. Good video tho
I was confused as well, like, hermeneutics has nothing to do with conspiracy theories, it's just a concept in philosophy and literary studies. Maybe they confused it with hermetics, which is a branch of ancient esotericism that heavily influenced modern schools of magic and occultism.
True & Personal Story: I witnessed a ghost/spirit first-hand when I was a kid in primary school. We were on a little outing/trip to an old farm yard. *getting goosebumps as I write this* Me and a couple of friends were looking through one of the windows of the old farm house when I noticed a pen moving for a brief second on the table. I looked further into the room towards the door and VIVIDLY saw a pale green apparition of a woman in a simple dress! Keep in mind, this house was uninhabited and empty during our visit. None of us actually went inside the building. Today, it looks as if the house is actually a museum at some level. I kid you not, this was one of the scariest moments of my life because it’s something that most people just can’t bring themselves to believe. I really want to go back to Norway, purely to see if she is still there... The memory itself has haunted me ever since, but I also distinctly remember eating an ice lolly afterwards because it was a warm Spring/Summers day.
The section on the Sea People is actually quite fascinating, I ended up looking into more myself as I’m quite interested in history and it’s a very intriguing aspect of history. I don’t think it really deserves to be on the fourth layer as it’s an actual piece of history, but it is definitely something to think about in regards to their origin
There's Chinese people in Dublin, Ireland that frequently hand out flyers and informational pamphlets about Falun Gong. I'll try get one of those pamphlets next time

Hey, Indian human here! At 3:04 u mentioned Vimanas and yeah they are a common occurrence in the old literature of the Mahabharat and Ramayan.

Similarly, there is mention of Television during the great battle towards the end can be seen by a person at a really large distance and can be relayed to others. Also yes Giants are also mentioned

Ok, I think I maybe have an explanation for the Nexus 7 theory. I found an 6 year old Reddit thread probably talking about this subject. It says “I had a bit if a crazy thought but what if part if this big deal with Samsung includes some sort of deal to make them the only nexus hardware partner.” It basically says that Google partnered up with Samsung to be the only Nexus hardware supplier. I have my doubts, but hope this helps a little.

I learned a bit about Pakal in a class on Indigenous artwork and iconography. The inscription on the front actually depicts Pakal's descent into the spirit world (or the underworld). What is seen is Pakal's body placed upon an altar and him being consumed by some kind of spirit. For the inscriptions, it was believed that rulers were descendants (or very close to) the gods. Hence, the inscriptions pertaining to Pakal turning the sun. It has nothing to do with a time machine, but rather, stems from the beliefs of Mayans that their rulers were themselves deities of some kind. The reason for Pakal being offered on an altar in the carving comes from the belief that after death, souls are sent to the underworld and that rulers being so strong, are able to fight back against the demons who wish to destroy the universe. As for the age thing, it's not uncommon for rulers to be VERY physically active / fit (i mean, they gotta send down strong fighters to fight the demons trying to destroy the universe). So that could possibly explain the corpse seeming so young. But these are things I learned a little under a year ago. So if anyone else knows anything else about the ancient Mayans, I'd love to be corrected.
came here to say this! you summed it up really well, there's so much metaphorical cosmological representation in Maya art that you really have to analyze all the little bits haha! also, the estimated age is based on tooth wear which can vary a lot depending on the type of food the individual ate, so its possible that his age at death has just been misestimated
The worst part is there are people who want to recreate it, people who never lived there and have no idea how bad it was. These people shouldn't be allowed to vote or reproduce as everything they plan will turn to shit like always.
Great video as always! Hermeneutics (Her-men-new-tics) can be described in general as “the study of the interpretations of communication”. It’s a very interesting subject, goes beyond literature, including all forms of verbal and non verbal communication.
Don’t know if anyone is still looking at comments, but I think the meat shower was explained to be a bunch of vultures flying overhead and collectively vomiting. Sort of a defense mechanism that made them lighter and able to fly away faster from some perceived danger.
I guess it depends on how much meat was actually on the ground. The way it is described in the video, it sounds like there was meat every five inches or so for a hundred feet diameter. To produce that much meat, it would probably take at least a hundred vultures vomiting at once.
