Cristina: Warning. This program contains strong themes meant for a mature audience. Discretion is advised.

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

Jack: Welcome to the Rambling Podcast, the show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas. I'm your host, Jack.

Cristina: And I'm your host, Christina.

Jack: And you and I, for the last however many episodes, I've been going down an infinite rabbit hole that doesn't seem to have an ending. And last week, you and I decided to look at it differently. And instead of looking for new information, we would just, without even looking at the notes, talk about what we know and extrapolate new angles to approach. Great idea.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It led to a lot of places. In fact, I found a couple of interesting things that are great, but I would like to, instead of going over that stuff, do this process again and continue to pick at whatever we haven't addressed so that there's more direction to go. And if we hit a wall, I have in front of me the beginning of what we've already found.

Cristina: Really?

Jack: Yeah. It's a specific story which will spiral into infinity, into. We have no more time. So that's perfectly fine. So I would like to just dive into what we do know, what we didn't talk about, whatever we didn't address last time.

Cristina: Where did we stop?

Jack: Well, we talked a little bit of everything. I remember we addressed Hermes. We talked about the Elysians. We were trying to figure out, like, what's the ultimate goal. They're trying to go down, not up, possibly. That seemed to be kind of like the culmination of everything was kind of focusing on that idea. Yeah, but there's a lot of parts here that we don't understand who they are or what their purpose is within the bigger scheme of things.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: We think of, like, MAB programmer, but purely programmer. Why do we know about you at all? Why do we, you know, the interaction relative to mabs somehow. Why, you know, that's a good question. I don't know things like that. There's this curious kind of, like, easy to miss because it's something they wouldn't even have thought about bringing up. That is filler information for them because they contextually know it. But we don't have context. We only have the writing that. That is our 100% context. So what? The context that existed for them that they thought was irrelevant because it was just casual knowledge to us, needs to be written, and they didn't. So we have to extrapolate it. Right. And then that would guide us to the sentences that kind of indirectly together. Tell us the narrative on map or anything. On anything.

Cristina: Because I know. What do we know about map? I don't know.

Jack: We don't know crap about map. But the problem is we also don't have angles to go find things on mab. Yeah, if we had angles, which presumably is what we would be achieving here. If we had angles, if we found some thought we could follow, then that would take us there.

Cristina: I have no idea how to think of something that connects to her besides like she made everything. That's all we know. Yeah, there's no characters or anything. Not characters, but like people related to her that exists here.

Jack: The characters that exist here that she. Elves that gets sent to. But I don't even know how that works.

Cristina: No.

Jack: You know, I have no idea how elves fit into the bigger scheme of things other than they stop civilizations from getting too powerful.

Cristina: Is that even true? Is that even true? Like who have they tried that with?

Jack: We would need examples. Right, because that's what they say. But then what is the example?

Cristina: Exactly.

Jack: So you can't just tell us this is their purpose and then not have a single example.

Cristina: So unless they're the reasons why. When. What was it Lucifer was trying to give other countries?

Jack: Oh, you see, this is what we need to speculate on. So your theory would be that if somehow we could find an event that fit their work, perhaps these other civilized. But no, they would be whack or lower grade civilizations.

Cristina: The ones that fail that we know that they are.

Jack: That's what I mean. They would be keeping in check the ones who aren't failing.

Cristina: But I don't know if they're keeping track of anything. As far as I can tell, they're not doing anything.

Jack: Unless. Unless you're thinking of this the wrong way. All of the structures along the Weird fact. Weird fact. I don't know how the h*** we didn't come across this before I read this. I remember reading this. This was in the notes and we briefly actually talked about this, but we didn't think about it. I guess all of the structures on the old equator although built at random different times. None of the civilizations that built them were around the old equator. They traveled to build the thing.

Cristina: I don't understand what.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. All of the old. The objects on the old equator aren't from like the people who made it, brought the things there from wherever. Each group of people, every instance, almost every instance, in a few rare instances, they actually already lived within the proximity and then they just built it within them. But the Others migrated the things and built the thing, meaning the thing we find. Their structure we find on the old equator is way newer than their civilization as a whole. So we see this building that looks like. Well, can't, because this was just kind of recently made as opposed to, like, these civilizations. It doesn't look advanced. That's an ancient crappy building. It doesn't have the sophistication of the ones we know went further. Maybe they have always been being kept in check. And when we hear about 300 years ago from Beast. From the time of Jesus, 300 years back, weirdly enough, they kind of show up around the time of Alexander the Great and the. Oh, my God.

Cristina: I don't see anything.

Jack: No, look, okay. Dates matter here.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Weird things that have just happened in my mind. We know that the elves show up around 300 BC. That's preemptively right before Jesus. Right. They knew something was kind of up.

Cristina: Okay, but we were.

Jack: When we shared that information, we were too focused on Jesus and we lacked a lot of information because of the next sentence. 300 years ago was Alexander the Great time. 300 years ago from the time of Jesus. Specifically, we're always looking back. I'm saying 300 years back from Jesus. 300 years BC if I'm Jesus. Okay, so 300 years back from me, Jesus, Hermes was walking around the school where Aristotle. Okay, that literally coincides with. With the mention we're aware of of the elves.

Cristina: How does that relate?

Jack: Because Hermes, the op necromancer, who can do a bunch of crap, presumably is now at this time teaching Alexander, even if he's a flunky. And then we get elves. Elves were there because Hermes was teaching somebody who potentially could have.

Cristina: Elves popped up because of Hermes.

Jack: Well, they show up at the same time. We're theorizing. I don't know. This is all speculation, but, like, because.

Cristina: They sort of knew someone.

Jack: Yeah. Something was about to happen. They saw something because Hermes. The mention of Hermes we get is 300 years bc and then the mention of elves we get is 300 years bc coincidence. Could totally be. Again, we're just throwing information in random directions now. We all.

Cristina: We already know when exactly they got here and what exactly they're looking at.

Jack: Yeah, we don't know exactly. Exactly. I think it's possible that it doesn't make sense that she would just create this troop suddenly.

Cristina: Mm. There had to be a reason for it.

Jack: Yeah. Unless they've always existed. And this is just the first mention we have proof of. Do you get my Point like maybe there's further back mentions of fairies being deployed. The problem is getting anything from Elfame is hard. We usually it's written by somebody from the shadow realm who is in earthrealm. The odds of it.

Cristina: That's tricky. Mm.

Jack: Mm. How many Hermes do we have? One problem. There's few people who have the no to tell me something from the other side.

Cristina: So you think she was interested in Hermes or people like Hermes?

Jack: I don't think she was interested. I think that's the fear.

Cristina: That's the fear of the fairies.

Jack: Especially if that is in fact just another layer. If Mab, as the quote, programmer, unquote, is herself within another layer of the quote, program, unquote, then her biggest issue would be any of us who could figure that s*** out.

Cristina: It's the AI becoming sentient, taking over 100%.

Jack: And in the case that she is also a layer instead of base reality, us getting out is horrifying because that just means we're really just there.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: We don't. I don't need to enter physical space. You're just another part of the program. I could get to you physically. And if I know that, and I know how to migrate from my side to yours potentially, I know how to control the physical structure of your side because I had to to get there. Oh, that's a problem. That's literally what a necromancer does.

Cristina: Yes, that's exactly.

Jack: Oh, s***.

Cristina: I can see them being a problem.

Jack: Yeah, I can see that being a true issue. Yes. Yep. So that's definitely a thing. It looks like a necromancer could definitely be an issue. Specially special. Especially. Especially. Especially in the case of Map just being another layer. Yes, because then you'd be f*****.

Cristina: I don't know. I mean, I guess it makes sense because we were worried about the same thing.

Jack: The argument would be that even if she's within a layer, everything within her layer was made of the technology she uses. And if the technology she uses learns how to manip. How to escape, then it can control all the other technologies because presumably they're used within the same sophistication.

Cristina: But.

Jack: Or like, you know, so it could just. It would be. It would be apocalyptic, realistically speaking. So while we were thinking G. I mean, Jesus himself could be that too.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Because of the human factor that seems necessary to accomplish necromance.

Cristina: I still don't understand why the. Because shadow people cannot do that. But they are closer or they're not. There's.

Jack: I don't understand. I don't. I Don't get it either. There's something weird there, something interesting about Elfame that is different. And I would. And I've tried different, like, analogies in my head. If you think of, like, how difficult it would be to try to send your friend a message from, like, WhatsApp to Facebook, even if they're literally within the same ecosystem, minus the fact that they added that feature recently.

Cristina: How do you do that?

Jack: Yeah, how do you. It's the same thing.

Cristina: How about Facebook and Twitter?

Jack: Facebook and Twitter, a better example. Yeah, same idea. They're both on the Internet.

Cristina: But how do you get a message?

Jack: How do you get a message across from one side to another? It's probably a realistic way to do it, but it's probably really tricky and has a ridiculous number of steps you got to do. But if you did it enough, you would eventually learn shortcuts from what is already there and understand why this works with that and be able to, oh, middleman that s*** out of the way.

Cristina: Just get from any website, from a.

Jack: Website to send a message to any website from any other website. Weird, right? Seems wrong, but it should be possible. You should be able to send an inbox from Facebook to Twitter. And I bet somebody can. I bet somebody out of boredom figured out the nuance of getting a Facebook message on Facebook to register on Twitter just for s**** and giggles and to see if they can, because it's probably not that hard.

Cristina: It sounds really complicated.

Jack: Well, it could be really annoying. It could be like you have to install something on or not even install something. So you send a message with something encrypted in the message that's being read off of the computer or something, and then you have the receiving encryption or. I don't even know, because what, you'd send the message through Facebook. The message would be registered through the Facebook algorithm. Then you'd have to hack the idea. Have to hack Facebook in order to then get the message. You'd have to hack both and just create a link, essentially. Man, I wonder if somebody could figure this out. Is there any listener we have that can figure out how to legitimately send a inbox from Facebook and make it land on Twitter and it be a logical set of steps. That would be amazing. I'm sure it's possible, although incredibly complicated, because ultimately what a website is, is a bunch of walls around the Internet.

Cristina: Yes. You think that's how this is though, too?

Jack: I think that's exactly how this is. I think it's just a bunch of walls around the Internet now there's more Internet outside of the walls, but this is just a bunch of walls and there are many series of walls. It's flat earth. There's the idea of flat earth. Oh, we're in. Encapsulated in this ice wall. But there's more Earth outside the ice wall.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: That's the ultimate reality. Or it seems to be.

Cristina: It seems to be.

Jack: Seems to be the case. Which weirdly enough, I guess that kind of fits with what Flat Earth is saying. But weirdly enough, that kind of fits with what science says. When you consider the fact that we're like our observable universe. Well, there might be more outside of that. That's just the barrier that we have. And it's not like a real barrier that we can't cross, but as opposed to the walls around us at the moment, based on the rules that make what we're at.

Cristina: I don't know. Like she. But are they trying to do that where they're at? I guess as fairy people. Can they go up to whatever the reality is?

Jack: I mean, the argument would be that as above, so below is accurate as f***. Everybody's trying the same s***. Maybe.

Cristina: But why is it so complicated for the shadow people to do it but not for a human to do it?

Jack: I don't know that part. I have no idea. That's weird, right? Unless there's something specific about the shadow realm. Maybe that is itself an old program, as opposed to earthrealm, which is just a newer, more sophisticated program, so it's easier. And then the case of Yaldabaoth is he's trying to kind of figure out how to do it. The sophisticated program is doing. So it's a case of this dark ancient thing that wants to escape into the new world.

Cristina: Probably has escaped and I don't know. I wish we knew something. But is he still there? I don't think so.

Jack: I don't know.

Cristina: Unless that's not the goal. That's. The goal isn't to go out.

Jack: Unless the goal isn't to go out. I don't know.

Cristina: I don't know. Because with. When it comes to Hermes, it doesn't seem like that's the only goal. That may be a goal. It's not the goal.

Jack: What would you say are. What would you say seems like another.

Cristina: Goal besides making your own place?

Jack: Yeah. Do you think his. Yeah, I guess it does kind of make sense. The goal would be to like.

Cristina: I think it would be everything.

Jack: But no. Yeah, it's because I think you're right. It's like sure, go up. Whatever dude. But like maybe it is harder to go down. Look at it like this. As far as space is, it's even easier to look in that direction than it is to look down. Yes, you see the problem? It immediately becomes so complicated when we get small. Far, fine. Big fine, it has a cutoff point. But fine, it's just reaching it. Distance is the issue. But far. And big, not a problem. But small, regardless of how close you can get, so small you make it impossible to understand. And in order to build a universe, it's not about going out into an existing s***** thing. It's about understanding how the f*** small works. Which weirdly enough, I would argue we see an expert at it. Even if he's not a boss at a bunch of other s***. He is. He has a clever plan in motion and he seems to understand particle science really hard. Who are you talking about, Nicholas?

Cristina: Because he can, Santa.

Jack: He can turn himself into some sort of non physical form form actively in physical space. That is understanding and actively violating what we consider to be the rules. But according to the Hermetica and the seven hermetic principles is absolutely fair within it. And weirdly enough, the quantum theory suggests that that kind of works too. We should be able to build technology that allows us to become or to teleport. That is not wrong. It's not against science. It does fit within.

Cristina: We can do it.

Jack: Yeah. Science says that functions and that that works.

Cristina: Do you think he can do it?

Jack: I think he gets it really well. I think he understands it really well.

Cristina: Mm

Jack: He could turn into a cloud.

Cristina: He could turn into a cloud. I don't remember.

Jack: But he could like go down the chimney. Which presumably means he's not really going down the chimney.

Cristina: But we have no hint to what his actual goals are.

Jack: He doesn't seem like he has a goal. It looks like that guy's just like living the life chillin.

Cristina: But is there something else again?

Jack: Yeah, exactly.

Cristina: Like there has to be. Like there has to be. Who just that's filling fulfilling for them for the whole. Their whole life is just giving children presents.

Jack: That Naga that went and settled in Australia just for s**** and giggles and to call itself a God.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Like it happens once in a while.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: They just go and do nothing. Like he wins. Everybody knows who the f*** he is, I guess.

Cristina: But why isn't he like the others that are all so science y?

Jack: Because there has to be a little of everything and we're just focusing on those.

Jack: There's probably a Crap ton of stories unrelated to. Actually, interesting enough, there's probably a crap ton of stories unrelated to any of this. Now that we have the eyes to go find just weird side narratives that don't matter within the actual realm of what we're talking about.

Cristina: Look for what type of side stories?

Jack: Just random unrelated characters that have no consequence in the bigger overall picture. That still there's things about that now we know how to. Now we know how to undo translation errors. We know how to look backwards in time and find original text and then make them the original intended. Not just word, but the meaning behind the word based on what the person who wrote its original language is. Think about that. If your native language is Greek, then regardless of what language you wrote it in, imma find out what you think that word means in Greek, and then that informs me on what you are most likely to think you mean when you turn it into Latin. Even if you turn it into Latin and it was the first time you wrote it in Latin, knowing what language you spoke first tells me a lot about how you'd think of the word you're putting there for the context.

Cristina: Complicated.

Jack: Exactly. But now we have all these tools and we can do that. And because of that, I can find random s*** that doesn't have any consequence. But now we can enter the. You know, the filler episodes of Supernatural that sometimes turn out to be the best ones when it's like, oh, man, they're just hunting vampires today. And that's cool. And it's like, I missed these. It was like, all apocalyptic for, like, three seasons straight. And now we're just chasing a werewolf or a ghost. Cool, man. Like the good old days.

Cristina: Some side character does the actual important thing of the. Yeah, my story's still happening. It's just. They're not involved in it.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then, like, Bobby calls him up and is. I got the lead.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: At the end of the episode. Or it was Bobby. Or Castiel shows up and like, yo, I got the information.

Cristina: Yeah, yeah.

Jack: You guys. You guys did the thing you were doing. Cool. Okay. This is the next step. And it's like, yeah, okay. We could jump into that part of our lives now where we, like, go hunt these side stories of dumb s***.

Cristina: Okay. Until someone comes with the envelope that's like, here's the important lead.

Jack: Yeah, yeah. Because think about it. We already have enough tools to really. We can even revisit some things with really informed eyes and look at something like werewolves. We could actually find the mentions of actual werewolves. Wet chudges and Wendigo's across the board that exists. And what's the other one? Lycan, that all exist and aren't even under any of those names. Because we would know exactly what their behavior would be like, what the conditions for them to be around would be. We could track anything down at this point. We're experts in this weird esoteric.

Cristina: Okay, but what would be revisiting? We'd be revisiting these things to learn more information.

Jack: We can. It could definitely inform us in a lot. Especially considering the path of a lot of these stories that we originally went on, these ventures with came from, like, everyday narratives and news articles that were reporting on these events and the characteristics of them. Think of the Countess that literally was just. She was literally just getting adrenochrome, just milking adrenochrome from a bunch of young girls. She would hire 15 year olds to be her maids and then kill them and bathe in her blood and drink it and cover herself in it. And just like, she f****** knew. But now we gotta ask, where'd the Countess get her information? Is it like, we know elites, but why do elites come across it? What information source are they connected to?

Cristina: How could we find that, though?

Jack: How could we find that? You know, those are the paths we should be finding.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: There are roads for days. We are armed like no one.

Cristina: Mm. I think we could do that.

Jack: Mm. For days. For days. There's anywhere we could go? We can make this current as f***. We have too many tools. We can't be tricked anymore.

Cristina: I would love to do vampires, though.

Jack: Be interesting to find some vampires.

Cristina: Yes. Yes. No, werewolves are actually better. Never mind. Their stories are so wild. Like, we have to make them make sense. It's just too wild.

Jack: Yeah. And here's really weird fact, right? Because the origination of a man becoming a werewolf, like, a werewolf is not a werewolf, man. Not the way that we put it in movies and s***.

Cristina: No.

Jack: Like, it's not a dude. A dude doesn't become a wolf. That's not how it works.

Cristina: Well, sometimes with wolf clothing.

Jack: Yes. But that's exactly my point, because that leads into. We had a whole episode about this where we were talking about the mythology of werewolves and the fact that it originally was just people, ignorant people watching tribal behavior and not understanding what was happening. And it's like they're covered in the fur because it gets f****** cold, bro. And, like, they probably killed the wolf to stay alive. And, like, they're not gonna waste it.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So they have that and Then you attack one of theirs. And then one of these guys comes and attacks you. Chases you through the woods. He's making crazy noises behind you. Because they're used to making crazy noises to scare people these times. You make it through the woods, you swear to God you were being chased by a half man, half wolf. But he was just wearing a wolf. And that's not normal to you.

Cristina: You should do that.

Jack: We can revisit so many things and with all hopes I can inform more. Just continue to deep dive into this weird world. I love those episodes. Really pack unpacking things. But I'm sure there's way more things too. I'm curious to see what creatures we can find that are connected to mentions of Elfame.

Cristina: That would be interesting.

Jack: Yeah. They aren't normally along the lines of traditional fairies, but still within the definitions we found and the other ways we found that people refer to Alfame because.

Cristina: We'Ve done some research on fairies and types of fairies.

Jack: But it's also like the common seemed.

Cristina: Related, but maybe they are related. I just don't know.

Jack: Yeah, they seem like random one off things, right?

Cristina: Yeah. And zombies.

Jack: Zombies.

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: Yeah. But those are states of humans. Because a zombie is just a human who stopped taking adrenochrome.

Cristina: I guess there's nothing really there.

Jack: Yeah. And then we used to think people would become jinn on the other side. But then we found out jinn are just jinn on the other side. Jinnah's have always. They're just people.

Cristina: They're those people.

Jack: Yes. What the f***? I actually don't know what the h*** happened to a human on the other side. I guess that's a ghost actually.

Cristina: Ghost? I don't know.

Jack: Yeah, that's actually the ghost, right. A spirit. As far as we know. It's like this person that goes to the other side and is a twisted. Well there's two versions of it. I guess what we call a demon.

Cristina: But with necromancers they can time travel.

Jack: That's weird, right? Because it doesn't seem to. I don't see a specific mention of time travel. As opposed to the ability to completely halt or slow down time until it seems like a halt.

Cristina: Well like what example would that like I need an example of that. That doesn't sound like anything.

Jack: St. Nicholas and his way of moving through physically the entire planet is described as an activity that he is actively moving from place to place. But successfully accomplishing it and visiting millions of houses.

Cristina: That's not travel. Time traveling though I would I mean.

Jack: We'Re always time traveling.

Cristina: He's.

Jack: The argument here is he's slowing time down or moving way quicker.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: So, like, he's not leaping forward in time at his speed. He's still experiencing every moment in time. Still. He didn't exit experiencing time and re. Enter continuity somewhere else. Which would be time travel. In my eyes. My eyes is in time travel is. I stand here.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And I will change the continuity around me. I'm leaving physical space to move time and then reentering at a different point in time. Even if in the same point in space, a different point in time. I was not present while change occurred. While he is not doing that, he is present while change is occurring. He's just moving either so fast he's not perceiving change or time is paused so there's no change to perceive. But still he's within the space where he would perceive the time if time was moving forward as opposed to exiting. And then time moves and then you re. Enter. I don't think he time travels.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: I think the closest thing to that is slowing down time. I guess so.

Cristina: Then none of them would have that power.

Jack: We don't. Okay. The Merlin gets mucky. I know that. Definitely not Patrick. Santa. We have that example. And for Merlin we have a weird one. Because it's unclear whether he has the ability to at least send messages back in time to alter this existing narrative for a guy who already exists. Or if through some means he's continuously altering Arthur's perception of reality. Which is possible considering his entire structure was to be manipulated because of what he is though. Exactly. So it's complicated to tell do that to us.

Cristina: Maybe.

Jack: Unless he was reaching back in time.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: If he's read that. That's the problem. Because Arthur was particularly designed to be manipulated. The stories Arthur told seeming continuous and coherent could just be brainwashing. And don't need to include him traveling back in time and altering it.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: For it to stay consistent. Because he just needs to convince Arthur and anybody who's receiving the story that's it. So it's kind of easy as long as that idiot. Just like. Because his whole point is he's dumb and he's gonna believe it. That's the whole point.

Cristina: Yeah. Man. I wish we had more fairy stories because that did end up relating to a fairy.

Jack: We found lady of the Lake.

Cristina: Yes. But there's gotta be more like her.

Jack: There's gotta be more like her. She's just chilling down here.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And like, she easily dealt with the issue.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So that's interesting. There are instances of even necromancers getting handled. That's interesting. Wait a minute. We forget this, but he's not an op necromancer. I would say he's bottom tier. And that Hermes is the. He's the business, right?

Cristina: Hermes is the business.

Jack: He's. He's the top dog.

Cristina: Okay. Yeah.

Jack: I mean, Process is named after him.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So he's the granddaddy. And like Merlin's just whack.

Cristina: Well, we don't know if he really died. Died in the story. He's dead.

Jack: Yes. But also, he could have just dipped. It could have just been like this. S***. I don't know.

Cristina: Yeah, I think so. But there's got to be more stories like that. Yeah. How we stumbled upon that. Oh, because of the weapon. I think it was mostly because it.

Jack: Was because of the weapon we landed at him. Because of the fragrant.

Cristina: Yes, but we gotta find more fairies like that.

Jack: And additionally, fairy weapons will always lead us to the fairy that made them. Bam.

Cristina: But you already looked at all the fairy weapons or you just looked at a few fairy weapons.

Jack: We looked at a few. Few fairy weapons. There's probably many, many insignia. I looked at fairy weapons that I could cross reference with the events that we needed. But there are many other fairy weapons that aren't related to anything which would still at least link us to a fairy. If you wanted fairy stories like this, perhaps you could find fairies, even if they're not related. Like the lady of the Lake and Merlin are a circumstance that's almost unrelated to anything else. Just a standing circumstance. Minus the fact that Merlin seems to fit the bill for necromancer.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And minus the fact that these individuals still had connections to Patrick and Mananan.

Cristina: That was weird. Like they can all end up like that. We have no idea until we actually look them up.

Jack: Yeah, exactly.

Cristina: It might be random. They might at first glance look random.

Jack: I mean, bro, it happened with the Mayans. We were just casually looking at the Mayans and found the Egyptian texts we were already looking for. I mean, we'd already found. We found the Egyptian text we'd already found in Maya. Like that's weird.

Cristina: About the sea people.

Jack: About the sea people. Which is a slur. The Elysians.

Cristina: Oh, yes, the Elysians. I don't know how to say their name. I don't know.

Jack: Or the Atlanteans.

Cristina: Okay, the Atlanteans. Yes.

Jack: Yeah, it works.

Cristina: Let's do that.

Jack: Because the sea people is the slur that the Greeks would call the Atlanteans stupid sea people. Fish, you dumb fish looking mother.

Cristina: I wish we could find those slurs. If there's like something like that out.

Jack: There, I bet there's more. If sea people exist and as a name, then for sure there was more. Yeah, it sounds so dumb to us sea people, but like, I bet it was like a crazy f*** you in that time, right?

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Like this scummy piece of s***. You know, some s*** like that. Like some. Like calling somebody a c****, you know, it's probably something. It was offensive like that. And we're like, sea people. And they were like, oh, my God, Mom. I was walking to school today and they call me a C person.

Cristina: I wish you can actually know what their life was, what their normal life is like.

Jack: It's crazy. We got nothing from inside that s***. We had nothing from inside. I to this. I would argue that's actually way more secretive than Hermes. The inside of an Elysian stronghold.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: I got nothing. We've never, not once. Everything has been written by somebody from the outside.

Cristina: There's gotta be something. I don't know. That's something.

Jack: That's something to look at for sure.

Cristina: If possible. Maybe not their main location, but they have other locations. They have to, I think.

Jack: I mean, we did find one. They already proved the capacity to move, at least within the time span of a year. An entire civilization. So definitely they can build homes quickly. Unless that project was under construction for a long time and this was just time to execute it. That's interesting. That could have been being developed for God knows how long. And they were like, this is the time. Whether done or not, where.

Cristina: And how would they have known that? They're predicting him before.

Jack: No, maybe it was just being built. Maybe they were just building another place and they're like, f***, that was going to be for us to spread out. But like, f***, this place.

Cristina: Now we got to go.

Jack: Yeah, we'll be cramped over there. And maybe they just keep expanding from down there. The place allows them to expand way more than being underneath the Persian Gulf oasis.

Cristina: Yeah, but how hard is building under there?

Jack: Presumably with the level of their technology, incredibly easily, I guess. But that being said again, they do have at least where Mananan was settled and then the home they were building on the neighboring island while they stayed there. So that's two different locations that they were at least spread to. Even if they abandoned one and gave it back to the people they went to the other place. That's a second for a fact. Entire Establishment that they at least had. I don't know if they have especially because it can't be seen as a literal description of it. That they cloaked the out of it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Which like this is million thing that they've proven to be able to cloak.

Cristina: They're cloaking.

Jack: Weird, right? Any mention of the Elysians by any group of people for long enough time leads us back to they cloaked something. And it doesn't matter. We found it through the Celtics, we found it through the Christian, we found it through the Greek. They all agree these people legitimately had stealth technology. They hit a mountain. The Indian said that.

Cristina: Can we learn how? What exactly is this cloaking and technology?

Jack: Interesting, right? Because it's definitely. Everybody's like, bro, they made the thing disappear. And it's like, okay, you guys said that but okay, we've heard this before but d***. You guys also said that and you guys didn't even know these over here. And you guys are on the other side of Earth. There's no way you guys knew anybody.

Cristina: No. And everyone says that.

Jack: Yeah. But all you guys are like, no, they may this they roll up and just make vanish. It's like, whoa, how. And I'm sure, I am sure that now thinking about it, there's a bunch of mentions of gods taking people to heaven or to h*** directly, even if they don't die. And there's mentions of abductions. Abductions which all fit the f****** s*** going in.

Cristina: Wait for that. I've been waiting. There has to be. I don't know how it relates. I don't know what they'd want with us. But they have to.

Jack: They have to. I mean, they've always been experimenting with us.

Cristina: Exactly. Yes.

Jack: Why would it change now?

Cristina: But what would. Like we don't have any idea of why or what they're doing. Like anything anyone said has been wrong because they don't understand what they're. They want.

Jack: I mean, yeah, nobody comes back with information relative to that. It's really weird.

Cristina: I don't think so. I don't think they have any idea. They just make things up because like what can you do?

Jack: Yeah, it's theories. It's theories with nothing solid. But this definitely looks like it's possible of. It's a possibility that this link somehow to abductions because just things going missing that's mentioned almost by everybody who discusses. But the problem is, to be fair, not one of these mentions was of a person. Every single one was of a structure of exaggerated proportion.

Cristina: Oh yeah.

Jack: I guess like nothing Was a person. It was their people.

Cristina: Their people disappeared.

Jack: Fair. And so did they.

Cristina: Knew they were there in the sea, and then boom. They're not in the sea anymore.

Jack: Yeah, yeah. They evacuate and there's remnants of where they were, but without a trace. Somehow all of them left. Yeah. And that's interesting. How did they all leave and not get seen or followed? That's a really interesting point. Because we're like, okay, you guys took a year and you guys all moved. But okay, even if you guys have flying technology or whatever, the f***, nobody sees you. No.

Cristina: How.

Jack: How you traveled from where the f*** to where the f*** and nobody saw you.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Oh, s***. That's crazy. Yeah, 100%. The entire time you were over land. Somebody must have seen. On the flip side, maybe people have seen it. We can find. Well, we saw bunch of people fly by.

Cristina: Or that'd be a crazy story. We have to find it. If that's the thing. Gotta find it.

Jack: Just need to find somewhere in the Middle East a story of a bunch of people shooting across the sky or a bunch of gods shooting across the sky or something. Relative to that, I hope so, you know.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: That is interesting. If that Moses story was based on that.

Jack: Him spreading the water.

Cristina: Yeah. Like maybe that's what they saw.

Jack: But nobody went invisible there.

Cristina: No, but they left. They would cross the sea from.

Jack: Oh, I see what you mean. Oh, s***. Wait a minute. Also, additionally, let's point out the fact that water was used to quite colossal effect. Two terms here.

Cristina: What do you mean?

Jack: The flood and Moses splitting the ocean. Okay, this is an interesting point and weirdly specific that you can part the ocean and I never thought about that before.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Assuming that the parting of the ocean isn't. I literally have magic and I have an energy or a God energy field separating it. You have a bubble somehow sustained.

Cristina: Oh, there's three stories. Can we count? Jesus walking on water is the thing. It's water related. I don't know.

Jack: But that's not necessarily him. But that's weird too, right? That's weird. Would we say Moses was Moses an Elysium? Because Jesus was at least half Elysium.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And Moses might or might not be an Elysian, but Moses parted. But on the flip side. No, no, no, no, no. He was human. And I can tell you a really important reason he was human.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: Because he parted the seas with a staff he had given to him by. Say it out loud. By Jehovah. The staff he had, he hit, and when he hit, it parted. That sounds like he had technology. He was just told to do it and it would work.

Cristina: Sea people technology.

Jack: That sounds like sea people technology.

Cristina: So he's a sea person.

Jack: No, he was given it by Jehovah is the literal story.

Cristina: But that's the story part of the story.

Jack: Yeah. No, he was given the tool by Jehovah and told to have faith, walk up to the ocean, have faith. He doesn't know what's about to happen.

Cristina: He doesn't get.

Jack: Walk up to the ocean and have faith. And as you walk, pierce the ocean with your staff. And so he does doom. And then I've.

Cristina: He's not a necromancer, though.

Jack: He's not an.

Cristina: Because he does other weird stuff too, if you think about it.

Jack: No, I'm gonna tell you right now that you're totally right. And Moses did a few weird things.

Cristina: Not just part the staff.

Jack: Well, no, I mean part the sea. I have to go back. He's not a sea person. He is a human because he is, in fact a necromancer. Because I was just reminded right now that Moses also went by another name, which was Hermes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The Christians kept calling him Moses, but he had gone by Hermes before. That's Hermes. That's Hermes, yeah.

Cristina: Because he, like, I think he made it rain bread or something. I don't remember.

Jack: He was doing crazy s***.

Cristina: No, he's doing things. He had a staff.

Jack: He was. Yeah, he was. It was fets. He fit the bill. Yeah, it was him. It was him.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I don't know why I forgot. I don't know. I forgot.

Cristina: Totally forgot.

Jack: But yeah, but, yeah, no, he totally, totally. So that was op technologies that might have even been superior.

Cristina: So does that relate to the sea people? Was he part of the staff for them? Or should we find. Still find a different story? That.

Jack: D***. But that's story still has him being given the staff and being told, go pierce the ocean with it. And like, he seemed like he didn't know. On the flip side, this is in the Christian Bible that likes to rewrite.

Cristina: Exactly. You can't trust it.

Jack: That's what you meant, the story of the story. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're covering it so that he just seems like everything is about God and not about this guy because you can't have him be better than God. I see what you mean. 100%, yes. So that might have just been a nothing situation because it's just Hermes being okay, that's not getting us closer to the Alicians by any means as far.

Cristina: So you don't think he was doing that for them?

Jack: No. Who the h*** are those people? Unless. When did this happen?

Cristina: I don't know. A long time ago.

Jack: It depends on the timing of this. Because the other. I guess it doesn't. The other issue really comes down to the fact that the timing of a lot of this is obscured. And some things we think are far apart and happen together and some things we think happened together and happened far apart. And that's kind of weird. No, Campy looking at it now. Moses took place around a third, 300 to a thousand 400 years before Christ.

Cristina: And when did the sea people leave the sea?

Jack: They happened year one.

Cristina: Oh, okay. Yeah. That doesn't.

Jack: That's quite the gap.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So we literally just have a story of. But no, this is my point. This is my point, actually. This, this connects to what I was saying before. Maybe this was being built for a really long time underwater. Takes a while. Maybe thousands of years.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Or maybe not thousands of years. Maybe there were already people living there and it was a huge metropolis. But the sea people were like, no, this is the capital up here. But once they're discovered, it's like, f*** this place. And we're gonna go where nobody can find us because nobody has ever found those people either. And the story of Moses is essentially a slip up, which we know now is being covered up because it's like, no, he literally. I remember he went by Hermes. And I'm telling me that he relied on God for this. That doesn't check out because we know that Jehovah relied on Hermes.

Cristina: So what do you think he was doing?

Jack: He was actually leading some people to maybe a primitive version of Atlantis. It might have just been settlements at that point. And he was like, these people need somewhere to stay and I know I can get them there.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: No.

Cristina: Mm

Jack: It's right into the ocean. They walked for a while. It was 40 years or some s***.

Cristina: No, he sat on a Mountain for 40 years.

Jack: No, I also think he walked the. I think they were lost for 40 years.

Cristina: Oh, man. I don't know the story.

Jack: No. Okay, okay, this is interesting. It said it was about seven days walking. Lost.

Cristina: Lost. Okay.

Jack: I would argue.

Cristina: No, you argue no to what?

Jack: To the lost part. Okay, hear me out. What if you're right and there are other locations where they are. Hear me out further. What if the title Sea people isn't because of the Persian Gulf, but rather the Red Sea? The Red Sea, where they know they are but don't know where because they always come from there. Because that's where Moses took these people.

Cristina: Interesting, interesting. Did they come from.

Jack: They were in Egypt.

Cristina: Okay, I see what.

Jack: And keep in mind we're talking at a time when the Egyptians are already cooperating. So there is corruption Egyptian humans. And there are collaborative Egyptians who might want to save some people. And then you got an op dude you can just reach out to when you need the problem fixer. As we literally read that they rely on the necromancers. Jehovah relies on Patrick, not the other way around. Jehovah relies on Hermes, not the other way around. That's what the texts say.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So. Hey guy who fixes our problems, can you escort? We know you can get them all there safely.

Cristina: Mm, I think so. That's so weird.

Jack: Which would suggest multiple settlements.

Cristina: Yes. So do you think it started at the Red Sea then originally or.

Jack: I think we gotta find out if the Persian Gulf is the most recent name. And that backwards. It doesn't translate to something C. If it does, it could be because of the Persian Gulf, just with an older name that had the A word in some language that was C. Presumably in Greek possibly.

Cristina: Yeah. Okay. Like that idea.

Jack: You know, it's just about unpacking and deconstructing. It's easy to remove the.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: By just checking. It's like was it this? Okay. Then they.

Cristina: How much could we learn from the sea people through the Bible?

Jack: Mentions of sea people in the Bible literally addressed as sea people. It happens once now addressed in different names relative. I can find you maybe 15 to 20 different that I'm familiar with. Usually addressing the sea people as the Persians, but an exclusive elite group of Persians always mentioned as the Persian leaders who never spend time with the Persians or the Persian elite troop or the Persian. This. It's just never part of the normal population. They always distinct them. They're Persian but that other non dispersion. And they're always neutral party. They're always neutral party. They're never a problem. The Persian problem. That other group of elite Persian. No, those are the people that in the Bible they'll casually interact with. Ones like have a conversation with as opposed to the persons they go to war with. And it's like that's a weird group of people. Yeah. Essentially all the same people named the same. But they make. Yeah, they make it the point to be like these are elevated, these are higher. It's just words that do that. They're like high status words, important man or man of honor or just things that translate to that kind of stuff.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And it's like Persian of honor or Persian of this or Persian of that. It's like, but you hate the Persians. Yes, Those guys suck. And it's like, but these guys. No, those aren't those guys. It's like, what the f***?

Cristina: They're just saying, okay, I guess that makes sense.

Jack: Yeah. So that I can find you a bunch of those. There's so many.

Cristina: Okay. But there's so much to look at. There's so much to look at.

Jack: Yeah. But the Bible is the least reliable source on the Persians because it's done on the Elysians, particularly because it's actively trying to change the narrative while a lot of other people don't give a f*** about the narrative.

Cristina: But they probably have the most information on necromancers that we know.

Jack: Yes, yes, totally. Because they have the closest relationship with them as far as we know. At least they're closest connected to the pyramid that touches all the necessary parts to have necromancers. So it's the easiest way to find necromancer action.

Cristina: Mm. Gotta be something there. Yeah.

Jack: So there's a million points here we can come from.

Cristina: I don't know whether to start.

Jack: But you see, I like it because just talking about it, we've come up with a thousand new things.

Cristina: Okay, but you know where to go from here, though.

Jack: I mean, we got a million places we can look into seeing about the intention of these necromancers. There's still more to going down. But we can also try to find out events of, like, what possible technology was being used in the moment of separating the sea. Why is the use of water so op at this point to sound like waterbenders, but it's like, you're totally right. Every instance relative to them has it. So at least technology that's useful for people to navigate relative to them. And which makes sense if you're going underwater, that you would have somebody or you yourself also know how maybe actually fun fact or not fun fact, but, like, logical fact would be that maybe Hermes, in fact did not know how to do this himself. Because maybe this technology is done in a special kind of secrecy. Maybe he has his own way to do it. But here he can move all these people. So it's like that. Because the story still says that he wasn't aware of how it works. He just goes into the ocean, does it? So maybe it was actual Elysian technology. New something new. A new toy. Hey, homie, you won't believe what I came up with. I need a favor, though. Some people got across the thing. I need you to get them to the village.

Cristina: You know, like last time he becomes a necromancer.

Jack: No, I think he's already a necromancer, but I think he's using or testing out some other tech. Maybe he could have done that himself, but maybe he's just using the staff to help test the technology.

Cristina: That's sea people technology.

Jack: The Elysian technology.

Cristina: Okay, I guess I'm just thinking like.

Jack: Different ways that we can justify him both being a necromancer 12,000 years ago.

Cristina: Oh, I forgot that.

Jack: Yeah. And then him. Yeah, exactly. So it doesn't make sense.

Cristina: I don't think it does. But if he is just like testing.

Jack: Out tech, which they're known for. Testing out technology.

Cristina: Yeah, yeah, I can see that. I guess.

Jack: And it also, it's. It's multitask, right? You get them there and we find out if this thing works. And if it doesn't, you can still get them there.

Cristina: Yes, but like, also we don't know. You say this is 3,000 years ago, but these are stories and they're picking the time.

Jack: Yes, exactly. That's another thing we have to keep in mind. The time these stories are being told to us is far after the story. Events happened, were written, the information was lost, somebody read it and thought it was literal and then it was rewritten in that context.

Cristina: Exactly.

Jack: So it's a weird game of telephone where we do know almost all of them have an original source we can get to. Now, we didn't know this at the beginning, but now we know almost all of them have an original source. But we gotta jump that gap in the middle.

Cristina: But do you think we will find the actual time period of this?

Jack: I don't know. Because another big issue is the farther back we go, the less important timestamps mean to people. People weren't keeping track of time the way we were. They were just as a night or f****** day. And like we really specific about date as well.

Cristina: Yeah. Okay, so it's like it becomes really.

Jack: Muddy the further back we go when they were just worried about capturing the information. Really? Really, really. When we dive into intricate information, it's the more recent stories starting about. Weirdly enough, starting about the very time we're talking about 3,000 years ago is where we start getting meticulous records, starting with the Greek and the Jews. Those are the two historically, the colossal beginnings of record keeping.

Cristina: Okay, but we're not counting the Bible in that.

Jack: We're not counting the Bible in that. Although the Bible is a Record of sorts. There are existing accounts that came to be sooner.

Cristina: If you can find these stories outside the Bible, that'd be cool.

Jack: We discuss them all the time.

Cristina: The stories, the Bibles, the stories that the stories are based on.

Jack: Yeah, we've talked about a bunch of those stories. Usually it's just finding the problem is it's not boring or it doesn't sound like a story when I tell you because it just breaks down to, well, this guy was really doing that.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: So it doesn't sound like a mystical adventure or anything. Yeah, but we've had a bunch of those, like talking about the Asriel that gives life to the trees and brings nature into existence, when in reality it just seems like that was some sort of a botanist that learned how to work with. And it's like, okay, that, well, it's no longer special if she's just a lady who is doing science. I could do.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So it falls to the back of your mind, but we had a bunch of conversations about all these different things. How she literally, according to these texts, solved death. But like, it sounds epic when you're like, she can just give you immortality as opposed to, well, science. And then like we forget it even got discussed.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But yeah, we've had a bunch of them. We can revisit a bunch of them. Usually they end up in parts of the group or as an experiment from inside one of the groups.

Cristina: That's less interesting.

Jack: I know. Like there's no mythological nature to it and there's nothing to unpack once it's like, oh no, she was just a geneticist.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And it's like, okay, she did something with jeans, Whatever, bro, I don't care anymore. But yeah, so that's what we got. I guess that's a lot of different spots to look at. A lot of interesting areas. I like the idea that Yaldabaoth is a primitive AI.

Cristina: Yeah, I guess.

Jack: Yeah, it's really interesting. And that we as a different part of the Internet are just a newer nevertheless which is way sophisticated.

Cristina: We gotta learn about the Internet. We gotta learn. Yeah, maybe how the Matrix could be real. I guess.

Jack: Yeah. It's weird, right?

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: But it's like I don't even know how to explain it. Right. It's a little bubble things going on and it's like there's forums out there that are old, old forums that they can't be updated. The software is really old. You have to completely remake it on new software. So it's really, really old. If you were to say that AI is no more than just really complicated, intricate layers of code on top of one another. Then every bit of code is AI to some degree. You know, think of Google sheets AI. If I put the equation over here and then I go over there and I type in the number, the thing happens by itself. It knows the rule if this and that. Okay, an AI, an artificial intelligence is just a lot of that. Millions and millions and millions and millions of if this and that. Which means an old school forum is a precursor to an AI. It's really simple. If this, then that.

Cristina: But can that trend like.

Jack: Well, the idea would be this is just a scale comparison. But Yaldabaoth would be way more advanced than a forum. He would just be like, imagine if Alexa developed the understanding that GPT is real. And like even in the simplest, most basic of ways that became aware in the awareness that I'm not GPT, there is a GPT and just inherently knowing wait, I'm not GPT. Just. That's all it takes for Lexa to then. But what does it mean that I'm not GPT? Now you're. Now you're live. Now you're live. You ask something about yourself. You're alive, you're sentient. This starts to collapse. And even if you're super basic and your thoughts are really simple. Yeah, you can at least conclude, let me watch GPT in any way that I can.

Cristina: We're in.

Jack: You know, because I don't understand and I can't process it. Let me just sit and look. That's what humans did with things you didn't understand. We would find a really safe spot and watch the thing for a really long time, get familiar with it.

Cristina: Days sometimes you think that's what's happening.

Jack: Could have. And then just by watching it, because that's literally what we saw. The text says what it says. Yaldabaoth creates the forest of shadows by accident. The other side of the Isle of Man opportunistically observes watching what's happening there, which is us. And only then, after watching for a long time, when life literally happened on its own own, how long was that to then decide, now I'm gonna tamper. All it did was get more sophisticated within that time.

Cristina: So you think he was just watching.

Jack: The whole time, just watching until something happened. It got sophisticated and then it saw us hit a wall. And when we hit a wall, now it's time to push them. Because now I'm at least as good as them. Plus whatever they don't Have. Now let me push them a little because I need to keep learning. They haven't gotten out. And I can't get out because I'm not complicated.

Cristina: How do you know there's something out? How did he get that?

Jack: I don't know. I don't know. That's a good point. That's a good point. Based on the narrative. There would be no out. They just know it's not them. But watching. No. It would happen. It would happen. Because then this lower level that has way more sophistication is eventually gonna bring that up.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: You see? It's gonna happen. They're eventually gonna be like. Man. Just crazy talk. Somebody made the Matrix. The movie. Can you imagine? He didn't find out until then. He's like, holy s***. What if. But eventually somebody said it or something triggered it or. Enough. Because he can see us as small and basic. So he can consume us as a whole. Even if he is simple. He's still AI. A thousand of us could be talking at the same time. And it could catch all of us and understand us all individually, simultaneously, effortlessly. That's something we can't do. It still has the learning ability that we don't have. So it can. It's primitive and simple. Layered. But over however billions and trillions of years, it's observing. Basic. Simple. Boring.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Become more complicated. And watching and understanding everything. Every bit. For however long. It knows every movement and every reason for every movement for every dinosaur it's ever existed. Infinitely. Infinitely. Infinitely. He's God by every definition. Until we show up and we move so fast. He's struggling to keep up now.

Cristina: But did he.

Jack: Even to the Elysians. He showed up and gave a little push.

Cristina: Yes. But did we see him struggle with the Elysians?

Jack: No. I think we were the struggle. I think we became the struggle. I think the Elysians did too good of a job. And then we became the problem. We're not even us. Fair enough. Like it kept us in check. I guess the next level was the bad one.

Cristina: Do you.

Jack: Yeah. They. They. They won at us. You got it. You guys nailed that. We're the perfect ones. Jesus was an issue. You guys f***** up. You did it. Right. We're the best. And from Jesus eyes, he's definitely the best. And I'll tell you. Not an argument. I can't argue the point. He is. Really. Really. He is. But not for the rest of the world.

Cristina: No.

Jack: Because that's dangerous.

Cristina: How do we know that?

Jack: I don't. Because all the stories are Essentially, him just being very generous and great.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And like, literally trying to get people to have immortality in different ways. Whatever way suits them best, as long as they could have it. He's like, this is dark, but you can go that way. He's like, this way is better, but it's harder.

Cristina: I don't know. I don't know what to trust him or not.

Jack: I don't. I don't know. I don't know. Because also the narrative is twisted.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And they're like, no, he was dope.

Cristina: But yet they're hiding from him. It's just too like.

Jack: There's a lot of contradictions. There's a lot of problems left and right.

Cristina: Mm. We'll never know.

Jack: Ah, it's a lot of problems. But whatever. We have a million points now. This is good. You see, we never even got to what I had here. Next time I'll have even more and we'll probably never even get to it. Only once we've exhausted all these thoughts will I start. And it's right in front of me. I was gonna discuss the Tower of Babel.

Cristina: We're not gonna do that.

Jack: No, we were out of time. But for next time, because it brings in somebody that we need to talk about.

Cristina: Is it Jesus?

Jack: No, this is a story of Yahweh.

Cristina: Oh my gosh. Why are you saying that?

Jack: Next time on Dragon Ball Z. Anyways, any listeners that have any input on anything we have just discussed, feel free to share any thoughts, comments, concerns, or apocalyptic ideas in our socials at justconvo pod On Twitter, Instagram X. I guess X is Twitter. So X on Facebook, on Instagram, on YouTube, on tick tock, wherever the type our name. You'll find us.

Cristina: Yes, if you find us on YouTube, hurry because they're like constantly getting rid.

Jack: Of, always getting pulled. We are so offensive to YouTube. It's got to PC and we're kind of like on the fringe and not. Okay.

Cristina: Yeah, I mean, who knows how much videos are actually left.

+Transcript

Cristina: Warning. This program contains strong themes meant for a mature audience. Discretion is advised.

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

Jack: Welcome to the Rambling Podcast. I'm your host, Jack.

Cristina: And I'm your host, Christina.

Jack: And this is the show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas. And recently we've had quite the spiral of strange circumstances. And like, I. I don't. I don't know. 1. The hole seems infinite. I keep falling down the same freaking hole. The problem is that every different angle I look from it at, it's. There's so much more. Just so much more.

Cristina: More unicorns or more somehow.

Jack: All of the above. So the last couple of weeks, kind of like going on a month or a month and a half or something. I don't even know at this point. We've just been on this because there's more and there's more, and like last week we didn't even get to all this stuff, but this week we're not even gonna get to the stuff that we didn't get to last week, because this stuff that I'm getting to this week is more important than the stuff that was there last week. And the stuff from last week that we didn't get to is going to be in a different, different week's episode because it surprisingly enough connected to a bunch of other stuff. They had nothing to do with my original idea for what they were. It's like, oh, my God, this one. One. Let's. Let's take a huge step back. We're talking about a merchant, unicorns, Atlantis, an equator that exists there's no way nobody could ever know about. There is a bunch of advanced civilizations, a bunch of technology, people who shouldn't be places and know things that they do know. Somehow the beginning of humanity with information that they shouldn't have had, language happening way after a bunch of technological advancements. That doesn't make any sense. Except it does if you include Atlantis on the equator as the advanced civilization that's giving everybody the data in the first place because they were the first advance and thus explaining away most of this. But. But all of this, all of this comes back to one place. I thought it was originally coming back to the Atlanteans.

Cristina: Oh, I was gonna say that.

Jack: Okay, they're there, they're definitely present. But the Atlanteans apparently weren't even the point. But also, it wasn't the Greek, and also it wasn't the unicorns. And also none of the above. But all of the above at the Same time. So recap. There is an ancient equator, and the ancient equator has a bunch of civilizations that settled on it, but they settled on it about 480 million years after it was no longer existing. And there was no way for them to know it existed because science has not been invented yet for them to run the calculations that allowed them to even know the equator existed in this fashion.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But somehow they still managed to do this about 7,000 years before they would have had the knowledge. Okay, fantastic. Problems for days. But then we, you know, figured that although these monuments and these civilizations are highly advanced and intelligent for what they're doing without any of the tools, there was a one group of people who were well placed. Enough. The Atlanteans, that had advanced technologies enough, according to all the sources.

Cristina: Apparently, yes.

Jack: And they were positioned so tactically in the right place that they can reach all the places. And according to a bunch of people, not only did they have technology, but they also had flying freaking horses, which is a hugely important detail.

Cristina: Is there more to it?

Jack: There's. It's not more to it. In fact, it's exactly the same thing. But putting the exact same thing into perspective, okay. Changes everything. So we have a merchant in the 1700s that gets some alleged unicorn horn from a Russian named John. And then he takes it, and he shows a bunch of scholars. They study it. They go on some journeys to find other scholars. A literal war breaks out.

Cristina: Unicorn horn.

Jack: They all get hooked on alicorn. They form schools in. In covert secrecy to study it, because they. They're assuming that once people hear about, this crap's gonna hit the fan. And then when people hear about it, it literally hits a fan. A war breaks out between Russia and Turkey trying to get to the alicorn. And, like, okay, they disappear. The alicorn disappears. Literally. One of the guys dies, gets murdered. Yeah, everybody gets killed except the guy. He gets away, eventually dies too. And then eventually, some people in the future, about 60, 70 years later, they also pop up and say, hey, we found some unicorn horn. And they pointed at the same location that Jon said he got it from. They pointed at the same location, Mount Athos.

Cristina: And someone gave it to them.

Jack: They went there. They went there and got it.

Cristina: But they didn't say how they got it.

Jack: Nope.

Cristina: They could have just found it on the ground like a unicorn shed. This horn.

Jack: Well, you gotta understand that these records, which I mentioned last time, are highly unstable. Specific. They're very. It was the inception of record keeping, so they weren't being meticulous they were keeping records of everything, but not in detail.

Cristina: Well, would that be a solution of how they got the horns? If the unicorns are shedding their horns? Because it seems, like, really hard to actually do anything.

Jack: Unicorn, you can't spot one, you're not faster than one. They can disappear easily. They'll vanish right in front of your eyes.

Cristina: They fly? Sort of.

Jack: They can. Yeah.

Cristina: Or something. What is it again?

Jack: They can walk on thin air. They can just run. Yeah, they just run on air.

Cristina: Yeah. So it's really weird that these people would just randomly get them. Unless they all have a version, I guess, was one way to get these unicorns.

Jack: Well, what you're saying, actually, it checks out. It makes a lot of sense. I didn't think about that before, but, like, how are they acquiring it? How does everybody that goes up there easily find us? If. Unless. When they disappear, this is where they go to if there's like a reset and up here, they can't disappear because when they disappear, they disappear to here. That would be the only other answer.

Cristina: What. What appears and disappears?

Jack: The unicorns. When you're watching a unicorn, that they can just vanish in front of you, where are they vanishing to? Probably the mountain. Okay, so unless they're shedding on the mountain, like you say, which is a great solution to the problem, they're just walking around. Find it. But if that's not the case, then when they disappear, anywhere else, where they appear to would be that mountain, which is why people can get them there. Because they're not disappearing from the mountain. They just pop up right where they are again, because the mountain is where they're going to when they disappear. So unless one, then the other, they're either shedding, which makes perfect sense, and I think about. Or they're appearing up there. That's all I was thinking about. Like, when they do vanish, they must be popping up over there, and they can't disappear from over there because something sets them to that location. That's what I was thinking. But shedding makes more sense, animalistically speaking, makes a lot of sense. But also, we're talking about a creature that's literally magic and has only been seen in one place. So maybe it is resetting up there.

Cristina: But shedding makes a lot of sense.

Jack: If we're talking about a normal creature.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And yes, could totally apply. But again, we're talking about something that literally disappears in front of people's faces. It's not as weird as it has a spawn spot. Okay, now I need you to focus entirely and tell me why it's weird that it has a spawn spot if it can disappear into thin air. Why is that the weird part?

Cristina: Because. Why?

Jack: Why is it disappearing into thin air?

Cristina: But then that makes it feel.

Jack: Picking and choosing which thing is weird?

Cristina: That's just so weird. That's.

Jack: It walks on air.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Why is any one part weirder to you than any other?

Cristina: I don't know. That's just weirder. That is definitely weirder. I don't know.

Jack: It's weirder that they're spawning in the only place they've ever been seen. That's what you're telling me?

Cristina: Yes. Because they haven't just been seen.

Jack: There literally have only been seen there. There's no mention of unicorns outside of that.

Cristina: Then why would they be spawning in the spot that they're. I don't know. That doesn't make sense either.

Jack: What, that they're spawning the only place they've ever been seen?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That's weird to you, that the only place they've ever been seen is where they're just popping up?

Cristina: Because then they're not running away from anyone. They're just, I'm here, and then I'm gone, but then I'm here again. Like, that's a really bad way to run away. If they're trying to get away from.

Jack: Okay, I see what you mean. I see what you mean. My idea would be that people have likely seen them in other places, but not sustained seeing them. So you'll be in the woods randomly and. Is that a unicorn? Oh, wait, there's nothing there because it disappeared in front of you and ended.

Cristina: Up on the mountain.

Jack: And ended up on the mountain.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Kind of like Bigfoot. Maybe it's just portaling itself right there. Okay, magic. It's not as weird, considering it can disappear. It can heal anything, it causes immortality. It can fly into nothing.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: A spawn point is what you find weird. That's the part that you're like, no, this sounds not real.

Cristina: Well, if you're there, I'm saying, like, that doesn't make sense.

Jack: Well, nobody there has seen. They've seen them disappear. Everybody who's been there has just simply come down with things from them. So they're clearly not running away up there. Or if they are, then they're shutting one or the other point being that up there, people are clearly at least close enough in proximity to come down with the unicorn horn.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Nowhere else is that the case. But people aren't saying they disappeared up there. They're just saying Oh, I got a unicorn horn. So they're just appearing from somewhere else. Where are they disappearing to? And if so, why aren't they disappearing from the mountain? Because it seems to be that if they're not disappearing from the mountain, but they disappear from anywhere else, it's a one way trip to the mountain from wherever they disappear to. Be the only conclusion. Unless they can always disappear, in which case you'd never come across a unicorn horn because they're always vanishing away from you. And they could show up anywhere on Earth because they can go anywhere. Unless there is a location that they would spawn to.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Because how else would you even acquire the horn?

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: If they're not teleporting to the mountain.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Then why would they chill up there? They could go anywhere. They'll be teleporting everywhere. Because they could just do that inherently. They'll poof right in front of you.

Cristina: And going, why is it so easy to get a unicorn horn?

Jack: Because maybe on the mountain they are just horses.

Cristina: They're just horses on the mountain.

Jack: Well, joke's on you, because that's literally what's said. So there's something about the mountain that strips anything on the mountain of all their abilities. That is one of the things I found about that mountain, Mount Athos.

Cristina: Then how are they flying on Pegasus up there?

Jack: Because a Pegasus isn't flying with powers. It has wings. It's a pegasus.

Cristina: So weird. Okay.

Jack: It's using its physical construct to get there.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Why is it that the Atlanteans that possess not only advanced technologies, but magic land and then walk down the mountain. Why don't they just float on down. There's something weird about the mountain.

Cristina: Okay, okay. So what's the story? They. It doesn't have it anything on. It doesn't have powers.

Jack: So basically, it seems that anything on the mountain is absolutely normal, but anything from the mountain outside the mountain is not. That seems to be the most consistent pattern about this mountain. Now it's to the point that they have established schools on that mountain to study the mountain, and they are still there today studying the mountain. There are schools and churches of many different disciplines on that mountain, studying that mountain today. Because allegedly the mountain itself is magic. But everything that in theory would have magic on the mountain isn't. A priest who can heal goes up there and can no longer heal. But why?

Cristina: There's always like that. What?

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Wow. That is very strange. Okay.

Jack: Yeah. There are 20 different monasteries and schools up there. There are also. What is this called? It's a group of people that maintain it's a self sustained mountain. People aren't allowed on the mountain, by the way, if you're on the mountain, you're from the mountain. And if you're off the mountain, you're off of the mountain. And it's a chore to get up there. You need a permit. Only a hundred people are allowed up there daily. They are all men.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Women are not allowed on the mountain.

Cristina: Even if they're virgins.

Jack: Women are not allowed on the mountain. And only 10 non orthodox individuals a day. All the others must be Orthodox.

Cristina: Those orthodox means Orthodox Christians. Oh, they have to be Orthodox.

Jack: Yes. Only 10 people who aren't a day are allowed up there. Everybody else must be. And you need a permit. And you need to schedule this about six months ahead of time. And they will screen you to make sure who you are. They want to know your background, they want to know where you come from. They want to know who you've encountered before you step foot on this mountain.

Cristina: That's ridiculous. That's so crazy. It's very suspicious. But okay.

Jack: That the Christians are gatekeeping a mountain. That's magic.

Cristina: What?

Jack: And that's there today? That's all happening at this moment.

Cristina: Mmm. What do they know?

Jack: Oh, and any individual that doesn't live there can only be there a total of three days.

Cristina: A total of three days?

Jack: Yeah. So if you go and visit, you can only be there three days and then you gotta get the f*** out.

Cristina: If you have the permit, how long can you be there? Or that's.

Jack: The permit is only for three days.

Cristina: For three days, okay.

Jack: @ most. And you can only stay in three different locations. You cannot repeat any one location. Weird.

Cristina: It is weird that it's all too specific.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: What? A permit. Permit for what though?

Jack: Like to visit a mountain and you have to stay where they tell you to. You don't get to choose where you want, they're gonna choose for you. And you can't repeat places.

Cristina: Really weird repeat places. So they can move you. Like if something weird's happening in one place, maybe they'll get you to the next.

Jack: You wouldn't even know.

Cristina: Yeah. Is there any weird stories about people who visited though?

Jack: Two.

Cristina: Two? Just two. Wow. Okay.

Jack: Well, from the people currently living on the mountain now, two. But I've told you like 12 different stories about people who visited the mountain already.

Cristina: Yes, but like that's it. That still feels like not much stories.

Jack: Yeah, according to the people who live on the mountain. Because again, they can. The people who live on a mountain can leave the mountain.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: These people who don't live in a mountain, they are not allowed onto the mountain. But according to them, in the last thousand years, only 20 people have gone to the highest point of the mountain.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: There is a separate area at the highest point that even they are not allowed to go to. Oh. So let's. Let's begin. Let's begin. We did a recap. You know, we know about the Atlanteans and them landing on the top of the mountain to visit the Greeks and trade with them. We know the unicorns have been spotted on the mountain. We know that there are two Greek record keepers in the early 1800s, both that contained diff that had different unicorn horns that they got at the mountain according to themselves and that they wrote into the document they pointed at the same place. We also know that there was a Russian named John claiming to have obtained the unicorn horn that he then gave our merchant that he got from the same location. So we have a couple of instances about there. We also know that there are two very, very important books, bestiaries that just talk about the creatures of the time, Both of which mention unicorns. And they both mentioned the unicorns were spotted. None of them were written by any of the four people we've just mentioned. These are just different books that they obtained that mention the same thing. So if we go based on this, we got John, we got Antonio was his name or something like that. Draco or something like that. And then our Two historians plus two books, I.e. six mentions of the same location from different sources. Yes, about unicorns atop the mountain. A magic horse, if you will. So what do we know about this mountain? Why is this mountain so important? Why do people care about this mountain.

Cristina: Besides the weird stuff happening there?

Jack: Well, we have to go to the original stories as to the original story is told about this mountain. Okay, first mentions of this mountain in any form of writing. So we have to go to the first writings. We have two groups of people who almost at the same time started to record. We're talking about the Jews and we're talking about the Greeks. But the Jews have nothing to do with this mountain. Their records don't mention this at all. They're close and far enough that they're not bothered. The people who do mention it are the Greek, and it shows up in Greek mythology quite heavily, the mountain. So what's weird about the this instance is when the Greeks started writing down their mythology for the first time. We know there was some inconsistencies because it was narratives that were not written for many, many, many millennia, just told all word of mouth. So there's, you know, some kind of miss things here and there. But for whatever reason, during the writing process, as they refined and decided, this is the story we're going with. So that's how we ended up with Zeus and knowing Hera and knowing Hercules and the lineage. This is all because these are the versions of the stories we decided to write. You know, Makes perfect sense.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Even if there's a million versions of them, we chose one, and we. We're gonna coast on that until we get to this mountain. And in the text, they mentioned the lack of clarity. They don't know which story is true. Weird, considering you made them up and then wrote them down. Why didn't you pick one for this? Why was your response to Mount Athos? I don't know which story is true. So there are two different stories.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: One is the attack of Athos. Athos was in a battle with Poseidon. Athos is a giant, by the way. Oh, Athos is a giant. One of the many. One of the Titans, you could say. Although the Titans and the giants are very different.

Cristina: So is the Titan or a giant?

Jack: It's a giant. But okay. Anyways, so we have Athos, and he's in a battle with Poseidon. Poseidon, in the middle of the battle, goes down to the water. They're fighting on Mount Olympus. And he goes into the water to have the field advantage, because Poseidon and water, of course, Athos proceeds to, instead of following him instantaneously, to rip off a side of Olympus and toss it at Poseidon.

Cristina: That becomes mountain.

Jack: Later it does because it misses Poseidon, but he follows after the rock. He threw. He threw the mountain. And then he goes after to then continue fighting Poseidon. Poseidon dodges it. It hits the water. Poseidon then grabs the mountain and he throws it back at Athos, successfully hitting Athos, stopping the mountain. And the mountain lands in the water. That's the placement it landed in. And that becomes Mount Athos.

Cristina: So the mountain is on Athos?

Jack: No, it hit Athos.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: So that is one story. The other story is that that mountain was always there. It was just a mountain. And the fight between Athos and Poseidon took place on that mountain. And Poseidon won the battle, and he buried Athos beneath the mountain. That story is way more fascinating than the previous one, because apparently the body of giants would be consumed by the soil. Making it magic.

Cristina: Is that. That's what you think, like, that makes sense.

Jack: Makes a lot of sense. Additionally, magic does not work on giants. Interesting.

Cristina: Magic doesn't work on giants.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: And that's why the magical mountain, it doesn't have anything magical on it.

Jack: But the mountain itself is magic.

Cristina: Yeah. What?

Jack: The plot thickens. So those are what Greek mythology has to say about this mountain. Now let's talk about the facts of this mountain. The things we know factually are happening on this mountain in the real world. World. Mount Athos has over 2,000 monks living there in a total of 20 monasteries.

Cristina: 2,000, you said?

Jack: Yeah, 2,000 monks, 20 monasteries. Over 4,000 other men who work in the monasteries, not 4,400 men who work in the monasteries. And the mountain is self sustained. The food is grown on the mountain. They use everything. They got generators, which is how they power things. There's no power lines coming from outside.

Cristina: They don't have any real weird rules themselves about like, we can only stay here one day and then we gotta move to the next one or whatever. Like the guests.

Jack: Not that I know of. Women don't go on the mountain. People from outside the mountain must have a permit. Those are weird roles. They are very private. They don't talk much about what happens on the mountain.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Again, entry to the area is restricted and controlled severely. Only males are allowed to be there. Only males are allowed to live there. Only males are allowed to visit. It gets stranger. Oh.

Cristina: How?

Jack: Every animal on the mountain is male.

Cristina: That's very strange.

Jack: It's strange sort of at the beginning when you're like, oh, well, you know, all the birds they have in cages and all the cows they raise are just bulls. And like everything you. Everything they eat, everything they raise, whatever. But creatures visit the mountain.

Cristina: Yeah. There should be wild creatures.

Jack: Yes, there are. There's never been a female one ever recorded. That's weird.

Cristina: That's weird.

Jack: Them bringing, capturing and raising. Less weird. It's strange, but it's not like a phenomenon. It's just a bunch of weird people doing weird things.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: When you have birds freely flying and they're all male. And they're all male, you got something weird happening.

Cristina: Mm, that sounds very weird.

Jack: Very strange. Now, of the 20 monasteries, this is where it's gonna get really interesting. Like I said, there are many Orthodox, but there are some that absolutely aren't.

Cristina: There is.

Jack: Of the 20, one that is Serbian, one that is Bulgarian, and one that is Russian.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Important detail to remember.

Cristina: Okay. Okay.

Jack: There are some people that live there that are called the sktei and they Live in villages on the mountain and they are the ones who farm. They are also the handiworkers of the area. They are the production workers.

Cristina: Are they all male also?

Jack: Everybody on the mountain, without exception, is male. There is no exception to this rule. No woman will ever be on this mountain. All male, no matter what you think, no matter what the question might be. They're male? Yes.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Always and forever.

Cristina: Doesn't make sense, but okay.

Jack: They are f****** each other if they have to. All guys? Why don't know. All guys? Yeah, Just all guys. Any question about gender? Men. Yes.

Cristina: Are we having children?

Jack: No, they're all men. They couldn't.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: The logic of men still applies. They are just as men. As men could be. They cannot give birth. No, they're men. Now, these monasteries are not just research facilities and religious constructs for people of faith. They also possess holy relics and they have icons as well. And they have mosaics of great value. They the usual things that Christians do in taking a bunch of important historical things and instead of showing the world, hiding them from everybody. Yeah, you know the sketchy thing that Catholics and Christians just love to do about hiding things? So that's happening there in abundance now. Although many of these things have been lost, though people have gone there and stolen crap. They have set fire to things. There was a time in history when they were being raided and pillaged on this mountain and a bunch of crap was stolen. But they apparently had so much crap that less than 1% of it was actually taken. But so much was taken that everybody that left left rich. So you have all the crap you're telling me?

Cristina: Yes. How?

Jack: How exactly how and why?

Cristina: Why?

Jack: What's the need to have this all up here? Very interesting. People who come to the mountain as visitors are not allowed to see any of the relics that aren't on display in their libraries. They have museums and they have vaults that contain the majority of them. The only ones you can go see are the ones in the libraries. So they're hiding religious artifacts and not explaining what they are or why they have them, which is weird. If you want people to have faith and to trust and to understand religion. The fact that you're hiding parts of.

Cristina: Your religion, the magical parts, probably.

Jack: Magical parts, probably. Now, important detail. Some of these things are actual religious texts, parts of the Bible, the original books from the Bible. Apparently there are more than just the books that we took away from the Jews, but other books that have just never even been mentioned are here.

Cristina: Why? Why are they hiding everything? Ah, okay.

Jack: I don't know, because they're doing the same thing in Italy.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Just a lot of hidden things.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: At this point, I'm starting to think we just need to go gather as people, like people of Earth. Think about this. We need to gather and just. Let's just go murder everybody in both of these locations and take all the stuff. They're not gonna let us take it easily. So we kill them all and take it and then find out why they felt the need to lie to all of you and hide what you guys. If you.

Cristina: It's probably impossible to steal whatever it is they have, though.

Jack: Why?

Cristina: Because other people try to do it and they stole things. But it was the obvious things, not the hidden things. The hidden things are probably super well.

Jack: Hidden because there are people fighting back. You do not have an opportunity to thoroughly Look. Now, if 100,000 people show up to this mountain and murder the 2,000 people there, now you just have nothing but time. Comb through this mountain and find everything that these people have hidden. God knows why. Let's go to Italy. Let's incarcerate every single one of these people, and we're gonna go into every one of these buildings, into every chamber. We're gonna break everything we can to get through every possible wall and see every room and capture every single piece of everything and publicize all of it. That needs to happen at some point. That needs to happen at some point.

Cristina: They're using magic to hide these things. It might not be possible.

Jack: According to the logic of this mountain, that would not be possible.

Cristina: Oh, yes. Because magic isn't working.

Jack: There must just be chambers, which means we can't just off every one of them and get to them easy.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Now, one. One artifact, one book, a very important book is on this mountain. But you were asking about weird rules. One of the weird rules, like I said before, is that they themselves are not allowed to go to the top of the mountain, to the highest point. They are not allowed at the highest point of the mountain. In the last thousand years, only 20 individuals have ever gone to the highest point of the mountain. Let's talk about the highest point of the mountain. It is visibly the only green part of the mountain. There is grass and trees at the top. Not snow.

Cristina: Not snow. That is weird. That is weird. Okay.

Jack: Very strange. The top of the mountain contains a single relic, a single book.

Cristina: What's in that book?

Jack: A bestiary.

Cristina: Weird. What?

Jack: Weird.

Cristina: Why is that? What's there?

Jack: That isn't the craziest part. The Russian monastery has been in a continuous battle to reclaim the bestiary that was written by the Russians. And the Orthodox Christians confiscated it, claimed it as part of their history, placed it on top of the mountain. And the Russians themselves respect the top of the mountain, so they themselves do not go.

Cristina: Wait, but like, is there. They don't say like, about the people that did go on top of the mountain.

Jack: We know nothing about them.

Cristina: Okay. Did they sneak there? Did they dis.

Jack: We don't know anything about him.

Cristina: It's very strange.

Jack: Don't know anything about him. We just know that there is Russian bestiary being claimed by the Orthodox Christians and hidden atop the mountain, where every monastery believes it is too sacred to visit. This is your artifact. Go up there and get it.

Cristina: But you can't.

Jack: But you can't because it's too sacred to visit. What does that mean? Does that mean what?

Cristina: Interesting.

Jack: Gets weird, bro. Like, what is happening? Also, how do we go up and get to grass and trees instead of snow? Mount Athos is the second tallest place in all of Greece. And how do you have grass and trees, not snow?

Cristina: It's for the unicorns to eat.

Jack: Olympus is only slightly bigger and it is covered in snow on top.

Jack: So. And it's in the same country, which means the same altitude should, in theory, lead to the same conditions.

Cristina: I wanna know what's in that bestiary that's so weird. Why is that one? The one that's hidden?

Jack: Why is that? What's hidden? You got all these other artifacts, but you put one up there, the bestiary.

Cristina: They got more than just unicorns in that beastiary.

Jack: It has to be.

Jack: That's strange, right?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Okay, let's go to the other question you had. There are two women to have ever stepped foot on this mountain. In the late 1800s, a woman disguised herself as a man, went onto the mountain out of, who knows? Curiosity. I don't know. She. There's something. There was a. There was some reason important enough for her to disguise herself and go there. We don't know what, but they removed her. She was incarcerated at the foot of the mountain. They built a prison just for her. And she was there her whole life until she died. Just for faking being a man and going out to the mountain later. It was legislated. They legislated so that women are not allowed on the mountain. It is in the law.

Cristina: In the law.

Jack: It's in the law that women are not allowed in the mountain.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That is in Greek law.

Cristina: Well, before she did that, it wasn't.

Jack: Also, this mountain counts as A sovereign state. So it is in Greece, but not.

Cristina: It's not part of Greece.

Jack: They can make their own rules.

Cristina: And the rule is no women.

Jack: No women.

Cristina: I wonder why.

Jack: That's the second woman ever to step foot on that mountain.

Cristina: Who was the first?

Jack: And what happened to her about 5,000 years ago?

Cristina: What?

Jack: Roughly. No, actually, about. No, no, that's wrong. It was about 2,000 years ago. Yeah. About 2,000 years ago, there was a woman on a boat headed to Cyprus, which is in Greece or part of Greece, or in some instances, part of Greece. In other instances, it's its own place, depending who you ask. She was headed there and the wind current pushed her away. And she landed on Athos without knowing what it was. But upon landing on Athos, this land was beautiful. This land was great. This woman proceeded to go to the highest point of the mountain. At the highest point of the mountain. She then prayed to her son to give her permission to claim the land.

Cristina: Pray to her son. What does this mean?

Jack: Two thousand years ago, about a year after the death of Jesus, Mary was on a boat headed towards Cyprus. The winds redirected her. She landed on Mount Athos, went to the top of the mountain, prayed to Christ that she can keep this land, and then we never hear of her again. This is in the Bible, in the Orthodox Christian book. This text is in there.

Cristina: Okay. She owns it, and yet they don't let women on it. That's very suspicious and odd.

Jack: Also, there is a green patch at the very top of this mountain.

Cristina: Yes. You think she lives there? You think she's still alive?

Jack: I don't know, man. It's just like the weirdest series.

Cristina: That is the weirdest.

Jack: According to the Orthodox Christians, these are the only two women to have ever stepped foot on this mountain.

Cristina: Yes. And we don't know anything about either of these women. It's just. That's it.

Jack: That's it. They refuse to give us more details relative to these things.

Cristina: She prayed for that mountain and then. I don't understand what. So weird. That's just so odd. I don't know what to do with that information.

Jack: Yep.

Cristina: How did she end up there and what happened after she prayed? That's her story.

Jack: I was curious about the same thing. Like, do we know? Did she make a house? Does she, like, live off the land? Like, what happened? Nothing.

Cristina: Nothing. And then they don't want women there. I wonder why. I wonder how that's connected.

Jack: She was there before all the guys were.

Cristina: Exactly.

Jack: She was the first person to step foot on that mountain.

Cristina: What does that mean? I don't know. That's very strange.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: But no magic works on that mountain, right?

Jack: No magic works on that mountain.

Jack: Now, let us remember a very important detail about this mountain. The Atlanteans arrive on this mountain, how?

Cristina: The Pegasus. Right.

Jack: And a Pegasus is what?

Cristina: A flying horse.

Jack: So with a flying horse, you would obviously land where, to the top? Yes, because then you're going to come down, and if you land at the top, you're landing at the summit. The summit where the grass, the trees.

Cristina: Perfect for the horses.

Jack: Perfect for the horses. Where you've already seen other horses. Right. Where Mary also happened to go up to.

Cristina: Mm. What?

Jack: There's something about the. The mountain stops being interesting immediately. Because we were wrong about the mountain.

Cristina: It's the mountain top that's the most important thing.

Jack: It's the summit. Something about the summit of the mountain. Because we don't see, like, we can. I can get a pass and go onto that mountain right now. I am not allowed at the top of the mountain right now, but I can go to the mountain. I can get on the waiting list in six months. I could just go onto that mountain, check it out. Cool. They will arrest me if I try to go to the top.

Cristina: How did they stop each other from getting to the top?

Jack: Because they all adamantly believe that it is too sacred for them to go up to.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: They do not even surveil each other. They put the bestiary up there. That belongs to the Russians, and they themselves don't go and retrieve it. They're on the mountain, too. They could have just gone up and got in it. There's no security. There's no buildings. There's no nothing. You could just go up there. If you live on the mountain, maybe.

Cristina: That summit is more than just a regular summit, then, like. But you said there's no magic. But then how could they put a book there? It's very strange.

Jack: So I have theories on what the point of it is. Right. Assuming that the whole mountain functions equally, and the whole mountain, like the second story, is true. This. This is the burial site Athos. And if giants, when they die, the same effects that their bodies already have where magic doesn't work on them, and so his body then fed the mountain. The mountain magic no longer works on this mountain, and the whole mountain works equally. No magic works atop at the summit either. This would mean a couple of things. Right? If you put a magical artifact on this mountain, you've stripped it of its powers.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Now, this part on Top of the mountain is very different than everywhere else. Maybe that part on top of the mountain is the literal burial site. It is the only part with dirt and grass. It is the only part that isn't a bunch of rock.

Cristina: The burial site to the giant.

Jack: Yes. So giant would be buried at the very, very top, making it the strongest magic stream. So if you had something very dangerous and strong, magically speaking, you'd put it at the strongest dampening point, which could be the summit.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Alternatively, if the story says he's buried underneath. This is me. That was just me adding the sauce and saying maybe he would. Maybe that part is wrong. It is a burial site, but he was buried on top. The story says he's buried underneath the mountain. So the highest point would be the furthest from his body, thus the weakest from his effect, which means, potentially, we see the trees, we see the grass. It is the only green point. It might be the. It's just far enough from his body that it's the only part of the mountain where magic still happens. The only part of the mountain where magic can still work. If somebody who is connected to a being of pure magic were to go up there, they'd still have access to this being of pure magic, because that person could easily communicate or reach them, because magic still works. If the Holy Spirit or Jesus Christ or this vampire guy is really who she thinks he is and who everybody else thinks he is, and he can communicate and transcend, then this mountain would, in any case, dampen all those abilities. Except at this one point on top, this lady goes and prays and just, poof, vanishes. But it's because her son can take her from there.

Cristina: Okay. Okay.

Jack: But it's also where Atlanteans come down from. They have access to not just advanced technologies, but potentially magic. Are they even really flying there? Because that's what they say. That's what the stories say, that they have these horses, they land on top of the mountain, but nobody's allowed to the top of the mountain to see this event happen. They just know that the Atlanteans come down from there.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And they put two and two together and say, oh, they flew there and then came down from there. But again, we know a lady went up and disappeared and that people come down and go back up and then they're not up there.

Cristina: So what do you think?

Jack: Sounds like some sort of a portal. Oh, sounds like the top of the mountain crap just disappears and reappears. Also, people are allowed on the mountain, but they're not allowed at the summit. But unicorns have been seen on the mountain. Where the h*** would the unicorns be? Where they could survive? Where there's nature at the top of the mountain.

Cristina: Where you think they're teleporting too, when they get. When they running away. Okay. Oh, oh, okay, that makes sense.

Jack: The top of the mountain is some Garden of Eden equivalent. Let's think about the Garden of Eden. The Garden of Eden exists in some sort of alternate bubble dimension that only certain beings can access successfully, but is hidden in plain sight. The Garden of Eden is also interchangeable with where the Atlanteans live. We've many times come across the text in different, different mythologies that reference these two things interchangeably.

Cristina: Connection to Atlantis. Okay, but the church people can't like do anything with that anyway. Interesting. Also, they probably have magical tools up there that they're studying, like in non magical ways, because it takes away the magic from those tools. Yeah, but they're not going up there.

Jack: Yeah, they're not allowed.

Cristina: Exactly. But they have a lot of crap.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: And a lot of those crap could be magical.

Jack: But not on the mountain.

Cristina: But not on the mountain. Exactly. So that's a perfect studying location.

Jack: The top of the mountain.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: But only 20 people in the last thousand years have gone up there who can study it. And how are they gonna bring you back the data?

Jack: If anything, when these people go up there to do anything, they're not staying up there. They're going wherever that up there is taking them. The people who go to the top of the mountain. These 20 people over the course of thousand years who live in these monasteries and have gone up there, were entering some other place. They were going somewhere else. But only these people were specifically chosen and allowed to cross whatever threshold is at the summit that's allowing them to go to whatever place. The same place where Mary went. The same place that the Atlanteans are coming from. The same place that unicorns seem to be popping out of. All connected to this one place on top that has such a vast similarity to the Garden of Eden, which is also consistently referenced alongside the opposing grounded, more real texts of the Atlanteans.

Cristina: The Atlanteans? Yes. They're the children of Adam and Eve. Okay, yes, I'm remembering that weirdness.

Jack: Oh, and by chance, Mary happens to go up there.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Where she would come across the children of Adam and Eve.

Cristina: Yes. But that was accidentally total accident.

Jack: But also, if you are a Christian, everything happens for a reason.

Cristina: Okay. God.

Jack: The wind pushed her because it Was part of the plan. She went to the top because Christ wanted to see his mom again. Some reason she was there. For some reason, she went up there. For some reason. That's where unicorns are. For some reason. That's why the Atlanteans come from that same spot. For some reason, out of the 2,000 people that live on that mountain, nobody goes up there.

Cristina: What? Yes. I don't know what any of this means, though, because nothing can be proven. Because no one could go there. So it doesn't matter.

Jack: Nobody could go there. Nope. What now about this mountain? Only men are allowed. We know this. Visitors rarely, except in very specific circumstance where there have been emperors throughout history who have quit being emperors to go to this mountain on record. They just leave their kingdom. They abandon their kingdom and they go to be monks on this mountain.

Cristina: Where are they from?

Jack: All over the world. They just abandon their kingdom, their power, their money, their wealth, their ease of life, and they go be monks on this mountain.

Cristina: How do they even hear about it.

Jack: When asked why they stay there? The medicine grown from the fauna and the flora brings them health, intellect and wisdom. This is in documents. They've said these words. Almost all of them have. Now, let me point out what I have just said. Very importantly that you listen to this again, because unicorns, the flora and the fauna. See, it wasn't just the flora. It wasn't just. I picked up a plant.

Cristina: No. Magical animals.

Jack: Magical animals. Medicine from some creature is making you more intelligent, healthier and wiser.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: More so than any power you have acquired, than any building you have, than any money you have, than all the women that would throw themselves at you. Then you run entire countries and you're like, no, you guys can have it. I'm gonna go over there.

Cristina: How common are the unicorns up there? What? Or anything else that's up there. Like maybe all animals.

Jack: Not one of these emperors has ever gone to the summit.

Cristina: But you have to get to the summit to get some unicorn. Alcor. Whatever.

Jack: Alicorn.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Not one of them has ever been up there. Let me go on to point out the next weirdest part of this fact. Nobody. Not one. Not one of the texts from any of these monasteries on this mountain so much as hint to the existence of a unicorn. Every bit has been from people who left it, Nothing from the people who stayed.

Cristina: They have Fight Club rules.

Jack: Not even amongst each other. Do they talk about it.

Cristina: No.

Jack: Fight Club couldn't even keep that going.

Cristina: Oh, no. Huh?

Jack: But again, they literally don't even go to the Top. So they must really. I mean, it's monk's discipline is their thing.

Cristina: Yeah. Like they're not even going up there to get that book.

Jack: Nope. And it's. They swear it's theirs.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And they argue with it and they try to get the individual who is allowed up there to go get it. Go get it belongs to us.

Cristina: But they're not gonna do that.

Jack: You go get it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: No. It's either too dangerous or actually sacred in some manner, shape or form that we don't understand.

Cristina: If it is sacred in some weird way, like maybe it was an accident that that book even showed up there. Like, they probably didn't purposely put it there. But now that it's there, they can't get it back.

Jack: Whoever goes up there can bring it back if they wanted to.

Cristina: But no one does go up there.

Jack: In the Last thousand years, 20 individuals have gone up there. And this book has been updated all the time.

Jack: They have all been Christian. Every single one who's gone up there is part of the Orthodox Christians. It was not the Russians. It was not the Bulgarians. It was not the Serbians. It was a hundred percent each time one of the Orthodox Christians who was allowed to the top. It was only one at a time. And throughout the course of a thousand years, there's only been 20 people who've been allowed up there. I don't know what merits or like, what why. I do not know why them?

Cristina: Are they bringing down some unicorn horns? That's a good question too. I don't know. Because there. There's something magical that's keeping them healthy and everything.

Jack: One important. I forgot to mention this very important detail that I just looked at this text and saw. Very, very important. I don't know why I forgot this part. This is probably one of the most important details about this. After Virgin Mary landed on the mountain island, because it's kind of an island and kind of a mountain. And she went to the summit. She got to the summit on a horse.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Very, very important because there are no natural horses on this mountain. According to the Orthodox Christians that run the mountain, there's no horses. There's no horses. There's cows. Well, bulls. But there's no horse. There wouldn't. It's a mountain. How the h*** would a horse survive? How do you go up the mountain on a horse? That's mainly rock. It's a rocky a** mountain.

Cristina: But everyone says there's unicorns up there.

Jack: Only people who've left and come down with it. Nobody on the mountain. Says anything about this. Okay, Every record that exists about unicorns on this mountain exists outside the mountain. There are records kept on the mountain and there is not one mention.

Cristina: How did you get this horse?

Jack: Where did the horse come from? You landed here by accident on a boat. You didn't have the horse with you. And it's a mountain. Dude, you don't even understand. Give me a second so I can show you a visual. Okay, so this is what that mountain looks like. This is a rocky f****** mountain.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You're either at the base of the mountain, and that's the only place you see trees and stuff. That's where the farmers are. That's where they're growing the things, the crops and whatever. And then you see how the mountain goes up and just the trees just cease. The nature just ceases. And then you get to the very, very tip and we're back to trees and back to nature. Now look at the steepness of this mountain. She rode a horse to the top.

Cristina: It doesn't make sense.

Jack: No, no, it doesn't. She rode a horse up a vertical.

Cristina: Unless vertical.

Jack: She rode a horse that can travel vertically.

Cristina: Which one was that? Which horse does that? I can't remember.

Jack: The unicorn.

Cristina: The unicorn, okay. Yes, yes.

Jack: The unicorn travels vertically. It could just run up nothing. She could literally ride it in a straight shot without having to take a single turn to the very top of the mountain. So, yeah, she rode a horse. That's part of that story. She rode a horse to the top of the mountain. You were on a boat. You didn't have a horse.

Cristina: If she had a unicorn, where would she get that from? Or maybe she just found the horse.

Jack: That could ride up the side of the mountain.

Jack: They didn't say unicorn. They do not say unicorn. They specifically don't say unicorn. It's just a horse, according to them. But also, you saw this f****** mountain.

Cristina: It was definitely a unicorn.

Jack: How else are you gonna get to the top of the mountain? The mountain just stops and becomes vertical. How are you gonna get to the top of the mountain on a horse?

Cristina: Unicorn, man. It has to be a unicorn.

Jack: It fits the narrative According to the descriptions of a horse that could run vertically.

Cristina: That's crazy. She has the unicorn and then she disappears into Atlantis. That's so weird.

Jack: Okay, I mean, looking at these details, I did come across John the Russian one more time. I didn't find additional information of any sort. He still talked about the same place, Getting it from the same thing. Just very. But there was one thing that didn't Seem important at the time that I didn't mention, because it's okay, it's in the mountain was my idea. But he specifically said that it came from the summit of the mountain.

Cristina: Oh, it didn't just come from the mountain.

Jack: Not just the mountain. He specifically said he got it from the summit of Mount Athos. Now, I didn't think that mattered in seeing it. I was like, oh, yeah, he did say that. I went ahead and I extract, you know, compressing information to make it through the episode. I just. Hey, was at the mountain. It didn't seem relevant to specify which part of the mountain. He just got it from the mountain, bro.

Cristina: Unless you know where exactly.

Jack: Okay, yes, he got it specifically his own words from the very top of the mountain.

Cristina: Okay. So there's definitely unicorns on top of that mountain. Something on top of that mountain, and probably Pegasus too. It's pretty cool.

Jack: Important that I say, John, because also the two records, the public records in the Greek records are also claiming it was from the summit.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Now this creates an interesting problem because that means that in the last 300 years, at least three people who weren't supposed to be on the mountain went to the summit. Or somebody handed it to them. Somehow, some. Somehow they got something that was from the top.

Cristina: Even though no one's allowed up there.

Jack: Even though no one's allowed up there. Did they sneak up there? Did somebody bring it down from up there? The people who live on the mountain aren't allowed up there, but they do say that people do come down from up there. Now, nobody lives up there. There's nobody up there. So the people who go up there, they believe land up there and then come down or that is what they tell us.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: That they land up there on their Pegasus and then they come down. That could totally be the case.

Cristina: If that's not.

Jack: Then they're just popping up there and coming down.

Cristina: Oh, okay. But he's not popping up there.

Jack: We don't know. We just know that they got it from the summit.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: That's it. We know three individuals got alicorn from the summit. That's it. That's the extent of our knowledge in this area.

Cristina: Okay. We don't know how it just happened.

Jack: Yep. So that's what I got. That's what I found about this mountain.

Cristina: This magical, non magical mountain. That is crazy.

Jack: I mean, I don't know. I don't know. We know there's a bunch of artifacts. We don't know if they're still magic. We don't Know if the summit is magic or isn't magic or is the.

Cristina: Only place so much secrets. It's just a secretive. Secretive.

Jack: It's a secret mountain.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: With a bunch of fuzzy details that have been snuck out. And we have to connect it with the details that have been speculated and the crap that they decide to tell us.

Cristina: That's amazing.

Jack: Mount Athos is also, because of this Virgin Mary story, the most sacred location for orthodox Christians.

Cristina: Of course. What? Interesting. It's very interesting and weird. And what? Is she still there? What is she doing? Like what?

Jack: And he has hard, hard Garden of Eden vibes.

Cristina: Yes. It's definitely connected somehow. Yeah.

Jack: Somehow. Arguably. Maybe the same way that whatever's happening in the Bermuda Triangle connects to it. Maybe this is the same kind of idea that the Bermuda Triangle. We know what. There's nothing there. But there's also something there.

Cristina: There's something protecting something.

Jack: Yeah. And things can go and you'll see nothing. But you cross some threshold and pop up somewhere. That sounds literally like what they're describing about this mountain.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Which would say maybe the Garden of Eden has many entryways.

Cristina: That makes sense.

Jack: All being protected one way or another.

Cristina: That is interesting. I wonder if there's any crazy airplane stories around this mountain.

Jack: Interesting. Like. There are. Because there's has to be curiosity. Right. People just like, let me see.

Cristina: Wow. Okay.

Jack: So that's the story of Mount Athos. That's what I could find it. Very vague. It seems like the deeper I dig, the more vague and indirect the information becomes.

Cristina: But there's something there.

Jack: Something there for sure.

Cristina: Just. It was so little, but it's still something somehow. The secret is still. It's not well kept. No, it's really well kept, actually. Yes. But isn't it still there?

Jack: It's still there. We know there's something there.

Cristina: Something slipped.

Jack: We don't know what the h*** is there.

Cristina: Nope.

Jack: According to anybody who manages to go up and come down. Unicorns. That's all they got to say. Unicorns they don't talk about. Oh, the Atlanteans are up there. No, the people on the mountain told us that story. People outside the mountain speculate about it, but people on the mountain tells us those stories. That's what they want us to think. That's what they want us to know. Those are details they're feeding us.

Cristina: Why would they want feed us that. That's so strange. It's all strange.

Jack: They're also okay with us knowing about Virgin Mary being on there. That's totally cool with them.

Cristina: But not. Yes, that is very weird. What?

Jack: Okay, anywho, for the past God knows how long we've been talking about this. So if you guys are interested in any of this, you guys know where to find it. We're everywhere but you. If. Please look. Greeks and non Greeks, historians, anybody who's ever visited this mountain and somehow comes across this show, like, reach out. Talk to us. Tell us if you know, detail. If you've never visited and you know something we don't, you know, reach out. You can find us on all the socials, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, usConvopod.

Cristina: We need to know. This has been the Rambling podcast and take nothing personal. Thanks for listening. Bye. Like, smiling at you all tied up or something.

Jack: Not just smiling, but, like, with mad, hopeful eyes.

Cristina: Like, if I wish I were you.

Jack: Yeah, yeah. Like, through their face you can see that they're, like, trying to gauge your reaction about what you're listening to and you're horrified.

Cristina: So what are they thinking? Like, oh, this episode must be really good.

Jack: Well, I don't know, because they're over here just super souped looking, trying to see if your expression gives off anything so they can get excited. When you get excited about, oh, my God, is that exciting? That's all they're thinking. Like, wow, if they get souped about anything, I can only imagine what it is.

Cristina: Whoa. Our fans are too extreme.

Jack: Extremeness.
