Top 10 Bizarre Alternate Theories of History 

You don't KNOW ME

Lmaooooo I looked and it’s literally EXACTLY 3am RIGHT NOW this was actually strange

04:37AM currently in India. 🤣

Izzazius or when we’re bored during quarantine.

It’s currently 1:15 pm in oklahoma

I know right, my character arc sucks

Hi Miss Phoenix, are you from Arizona?

Mitch Rijkaard I’m not but I lived there years ago..but the name comes from X-men and it’s old as shit lol.

Mike Hawk lmaoooo

Da Sheep right me too!

Kimberly Barnum 🤣🤣🤣

what if they are....?

One of my brother's used to say that stars were girls because they were winking at him. He was five.

Thats some scary shit

Maybe you got the idea from punching breathing holes in a box for captured organisms, then imagined yourself in one

Our descendants have a fucked up sense of entertainment, if that's how they're spending their free time... Kind of an interesting method of education, though.

stop smoking crack

That would mean that people survived World War 3, 4, 5, 6, 6 1/2, 7, and the Battle of New New Jersey.....interesting the places we can find hope.....

Lolo

I'll tell you what's amazing there's supposed to be thousands of these satellites orbiting earth and amazingly non of them crash into each other

@@deanclark3736 yes, yes they do

Yes, but people are stupid - AND the press is all too happy NOT to correct the mistake, but rather to perpetuate misinformation for their own ratings. tavi.

I feel sorry for all those people who committed mass suicide thinking the earth will end in 2012.

five ages and we are now living in the sixth Mayan age, although the ancient alien lot, keep referring to the 5th age as the 3rd age, or the fourth age depends on which one they interview at the time.

@@mannylugz5872 Don't be, they didn't miss much...

@@RedSkysAreOnFire they kept on throwing shit in from Aztec mythology and timekeeping too. The calendars were similar but not the same, and their mythologies were fairly different, and people were just throwing it all together to unify the narrative of a bunch of moronic conspiracy theories and dress them up as ancient mythology

There are some smart people on RU-vid. However, you and I are decidedly the most smartest.

I am the smartest! Over the top!

Alpha status!

It's not just youtube. It's everyone is smarter than everyone everywhere since the beginning of time. Go out & talk to people & find out.

everybody thinks they know everything thats what i hate too

Space? Tell me why you say this....

@Martin Jones the fuel itself has the oxygen in it. Look it up.

@Martin Jones You fucking moron, you bring oxidizer for the fuel with the ship lmfao!! That's how it's always been done because there is NO oxygen in space, there is no atmosphere.

Derrrrr how did they know abt space?????? Well dumb shit they aligned their pyramids w stars for once also look at the hyrogliphics

Kyle Pirko I can’t believe people like you exist

They should have made the title "the history of theories"

@@philswift795 - Any number of other titles might have been more suitable. Maybe something like “oddball theories throughout history” or some such. I wonder if the inclusion of cosmology ones may just be that they didn’t have enough material with just history, so they threw in some other stuff to lengthen the video. Then again, maybe they just don’t know the difference between history and cosmology.

IKR

+BjornV1994 Yeah that one is not necessarily a theory though but more objectively the truth. However, I guess when propaganda and political motives becomes mainstream "facts" then the general consensus changes from the objective truth and it becomes a theory.

+Chris S. What do you mean, of course it happened

Ikr

+Kevin Lee sure because blowing up busses and stabbing innocent people is kind

+Brendan Beatty Seriously. It's non-magnectic, very malleable and conducts heat rather well

I know right? It's more than just a decoration which is what they were implying. If I were an Alien species I'd be looking for gold wherever I could find it.

+Brendan Beatty Then they missed a _fuckton_ of it. There's about enough gold on this planet, we can *plate the surface a meter deep.* ...................... trick is that it&'s mostly in the core. Beyond the reach of current human technology. But _surely_ such advanced aliens could have the tech to get to it, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight? But if you honestly believe aliens were here on earth--- I don't doubt they _exist,_ Fermi Paradox notwithstanding (tl;dr: "Where the fuck is everybody??"), but a solid knowledge of science lets you know how fucking huge the universe is: they're just elsewhere--- that humans weren't that smart enough to figure out modern technology and techniques (you know... the _exact same process_ that modern humans used to figure out modern technology and techniques), that you *require* an even more advanced being to teach them, be it Jesus or Xenu-- which in themselves then requires a even more complex being, if beings aren't naturally as smart as you think they can be-- then why did Jesus seem to fuck off in personal appearances as soon as the video camera was invented, and the aliens seemed to have fucked off as soon as HD became the recording standard (and apparently a lot of the epileptic/Alzheimer/seizure patients who love espressos and happen to carry camcorders everywhere have died off and stopped filming reflections and shiny clouds)? Since they missed so much gold, and had an interest in ruling us: why'd they leave? Hell, Doctor Who presents a more plausible theory: He tricked one of The Silence into ordering us to kill them all on sight. Guess they weren't so advanced after all.

+Xuncu I wasn't implying the ancient alien theory is true ( though I would rather believe in IT then any religious theories) I was just saying that aliens (which undoubtedly exist, just most likely havnt visited us) would have a reason to want a source of gold on an uninhabitable planet unlike what the video claims.

yeah you are right but the only problem in that theory is if the aliens doesnt know anything but than gold but there is a shit tons of materiels and other metalic components in outer space that would put gold to shame that have better effects than gold and the space has a lot of radiation s that would make most metal build resistance for it

Unless space is something else.

Patrick Wagner they’d just say it was a simulation

"He was a plant. He didn't really support the fact that the earth is flat. He was in on the conspiracy all along" "They brainwashed him. MKULTRA". "They replaced him with a doppelganger" "They paid him off" "They threatened his family if he didn't claim he went to space and saw a globe earth".

We can’t because we’ve never been. How come we’ve been to the moon but can’t go again🤔? bEcAusE oF MoNey, yea... somethings not adding up.

Here's my problem with that....the way they capture gold is by exploiting the fact that gold is heavy, on a molecular level. So heavy gold particles floating in the atmosphere doesn't really jive.

Yes, it is a popular modern myth to think that the people in the middle ages (or especially the church) believed in a flat earth.

+Skippa1986 People always knew Earth was round. it's not hard, you just need a mountain, or a big flat field, and you see the planet curvature. If you stay long enough looking to the stars, you'll see the stars rotating in the sky. Even ancient drawings show the sky as a globe above the earth. What pople don't know, was how big it was (they know in ancient greece), and that the sky wasn't a ceiling above the earth, but just empty space and the stars where far far far away. but the "the earth is flat" is a mith very recent. No one ever believe that.

Explains a lot!! 🤔

The Mayans were not warning us about the year 2012, they were warning us about the terrible movie 2012!

The Mayans weren't predicting the end of the world. Their calendar stops at 2012 for the same reason the calendar on your wall stops at December 31.

Ancient Aliens is hilarious... I find it quite enjoyable Along with Conspiracy Files and Alien Files

ravishingelite Well it's not as much ancient aliens but the first aliens we ever encountered and to us our first Gods and yes weirdly enough they are in the history books for some reason. Mainly because everything we got came from ancient Samaria such as writing, the wheel, mining and garden tools, and the first Gods.

j r lies can big so large

+Jason Case It shouldn't have to take the Mythbusters to disprove that kind of stuff...

WeShudInvadIran YoloSwag Yes but if persons want to hold onto garbage then it can be tested by Mythbusters so maybe they finally accept the truth. It wouldn't be necessary if a large amount of persons just gave the hell up of the damn wrong conspiracy theory.

+Cariss Stewart Entirely true. The Enlightenment scholars, bizarrely, loved to see the Medieval eras as a total dark age, and discredited from much. In reality, much knowledge was retained from the classical era. Amusingly though, children are still taught in school that Columbus finally proved the world was round when he sailed to America, believing he would end up in Asia. Of course, no one stops to wonder how that even proves anything, seeing as not reaching Asia, but rather a land in-between them, would hurt the idea the earth was round... EXCEPT IT WAS ALREADY COMMON KNOWLEDGE!

Thank you!

+Phoenix jz It's not strange really, every generation wants to think they're the best.

Thank goodness none of these are scientific theories lol. Because those are actually true.

+TheAmusingOddities What do you mean by "scientific theories"? If you mean "theories supported by scientists or visual proof", then Geocentrism fits the criteria, and it isn't actually true.

+MrAzkhare Couldn't agree more. The one on the 'growing earth' theory really got to me personally, because they try to dismiss it by simply saying 'but plate tectonics'. What about plate Tectonics? Why are these ideas mutually exclusive? The blind dismissal of legitimate questions is every bit as bad as religious indoctrination, if not worse.

+evbb Also, calling the Egyptians and late scientists stupid is just ignorant... But hey obviously WM can't stop being a PC ass...

+evbb There is actually a theory that combines plate tectonics with the expanding earth, proposed by J. Marvin Herndon. Really interesting. And yeah, that's what irks me. The fervent defense of the paradigm, reacting with laughter at new concepts.

I completely agree...u know nothing. Lol jk. I feel exactly the same way. What's beginning to bother me about my most recent concept however, is this the conclusion we are intended to come upon? That we know nothing and that the truth really doesn't exist? Also, if that is the case, then should we assume that our first assumptions were correct just because there are those that would have us believe the opposite??

@@chrissmith1183 this is wierd how eveyone is thinking about the same thing

Why is it every time technology advances there's a nut job that rationalizes, yup that must be how the universe is, we're inside a giant computer simulation. Why would the conspirators allow the development of said technology? They would just simulate it as impossible to achieve being "they" are in control of the physics in your universe rather than risk exposure. My experience in life is that conspiracy nuts behave in the same manner as compulsive liars. Their lives are so aimless and boring and they are so mentally unable to compete that what they lack in ambition and ingenuity they make up for with volume and preposterousness in an attempt to make other people notice them.

That's how dinosaurs, plants and insects could have been so big, because gravity was also lower back then 🤔 Just maybe... Or the oxygen content (or other gases in our atmosphere) had a different ratio.

It wasn't "nothing". It was a singularity, which is everything compressed down to a single point.

So how did everything compressed into a singularity collide with something? Dark matter?

@@OhMy05 not sure. I'm sure they are still trying to figure that out. But I think it makes more sense to me than a god making everything appear out of nothing. We can't have all the answers I guess.

Craig Young well we see everything on a slight delay AND we are just seeing our brain's interpretation of light, so you can't know.

How do I know that the color blue to me is the same as the color blue to you? Middle school stoner thoughts. There is an objective reality.

@@JoeBonez stoner thought and deep level science thoughts. :D Saw someone talking about it on World Science Festival's channel. We don't know that we see anything the way anyone else does. What really gets me is how nothing actually exists the way we see it, that's just our brain's interpretation of light waves and such. AND we are on a like 7 microsecond delay; everything that we see happened in the past, technically. Science is kind of terrifying :D

Craig Young Great observation especially now, 3 yrs later and Schrödinger’s cat theory has come about into the mainstream.

Object permanence... Google it

dude shut up, a hypothesis IS a theory. By definition.

Gavlick Apthesycerski - No its not. Both are scientific terms with very clear definitions. So, please do your research before you tell me to shut up.

D4l4m4r all hypothesis are theories ...

Its the other way round. Every theory has been a hypothesis at some point. A theory is defined as a hypothesis that has been successfully tested on several occasions. So a theory is widely regarded as "truth" until something better comes along. Thats why the vast majority of people accept the theory of Evolution by natural selection as truth. A hypothesis, however, is just an idea how something could have worked. Until it has been succesfully tested (either by experiment or by prediction), its only a hypothesis not a theory. This is basicly what we scientist call "the scientific method" and you might wanna google that.

Pretty much this. An even more basic distinction is that a 'theory' attempts to explain multiple occurrences, and 'hypothesis' a single occurrence.
