    This was life changing for me.
    I was enraged at first. Then I realized I was angry soley because how foolish I was and how easily I fell for it. I had no issue dismissing all the red flags because I wanted it to be true.
    This film was one of the first to help me realize that I wasn't as smart as I thought I was and how able and willing I was to buy a lie.

    Well done! I just watched this for the third time and only now read the comments to see, if this was factual. The making of this film must have cost a fortune. To deposit this art on the seabed, just to bring it back up again to be filmed. Mindboggling. Even when watching this the first time, I thought the art itself looked very modern in some cases. The faces especially. I've never seen an egyptian statue with closed eyes, for example. And there were two! And I wondered how those huge statues could survive standing upright on the seabed?! I guess my common sense and general knowledge knew from the beginning, that this isn't true. Shows how much I wanted it to be true and how much the narrative influenced my judgment. Do I still want to get the catalogue? Hell yeah!

    Not gonna lie, I was ready to buy a plane ticket until I died of hysterical laughter with the glimpse of Mickeys ears.
    I really enjoyed the ride.

    I gotta admit I bought this hook, line and sinker right up until the end. There were plenty of warnings which I ignored. Being a diver I was curious how they preserved so much of the colors of the coral, urchins and worm casings. When they were carrying the large gold works of art I thought wow they must be really strong to carry that much gold so easily, but still ignored my sense of reality. The statue of the bear with the screaming man with outstretched arms standing on its head was insane and seemed too modern to me. The monkey with the corn cob was odd as was the gold transformer statue. When I glimpsed the "Made in China" stamp my mind was screaming WTF?? The statue of Mickey still in the water at the end looked so out of place I thought I was just interpreting an old work of art through simple eyes. It wasn't until I went to the comments did I realize it was really just another Hollywood movie making it truly Treasures of the Unbelievable.

      You have to listen to the opening of the movie as he's talking he's telling you it's fake but it's what you believe to be real through the movie. This is what's called a psychological vivid imagination implant movie..😂😂 basically what this is is it put together from the psychological perspective and there's holes and gaps left. There are Easter eggs and teasers to have you believing that something is real but those Easter eggs are there to show you that that is not a real thing but an object skated view because you have new age visuals mixedwood supposed old age ancient archaeological history😅😅😅 so they basically put the real in front of you but at the same time I giving you the substructure to allow your imagination to take the movie wherever you want to take it😅😅😅 it's actually a CIA kind of operation that they do with all of us here in America they're basically putting in a movie form and showing you how f*****-up things really are it's meant for you to wake up it's trying to get you to see how intelligent you are

    Even in our Digital Age , I do not think men can create the work of these lost Artisans. Truly amazing astonishing , in the scale. Good they went into the deeper place , and searched. Amazing , simply amazing. That year I had just had my Cancer surgery revisions ...and I was on Chemo still .... Life is amazing.

    Damien Hirst is a British artist known for his controversial and provocative works, often exploring themes of life, death, and the fragility of existence. Born in Bristol, England, in 1965, Hirst rose to prominence in the art world during the 1990s as part of the Young British Artists (YBAs) movement.
    Hirst gained significant attention for his installation art, sculptures, and conceptual pieces. One of his most well-known works is "The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living," which features a preserved shark suspended in formaldehyde. This piece, along with others in his "Natural History" series, challenged traditional notions of art and provoked discussions about mortality and the human condition.

    Good addition to RUclips, because there are so many docs here, but this one gets you thinking about docs in general. Yeah, I have to admit the mouse object was where I really connected the dots. I'd be curious to know where an expert would start? Right away? Styles were the first thing I noticed, then scales and detailing under the coral.

    My good friend has the gallery book from this show. It's truly amazing work. The detailed craftsmanship in all the coral and worm-damage is really beautifully done.
    Sorry they didn't note that this is all "fake" in the channel notes. This is the video that would play in the gallery where the show was being held and it is a work of fiction and artistry as much as anything else in the show. I can understand how some people would feel cheated or misled if they don't know the context of the video. To be fair, my friend did show me the gallery book as a bit of a joke to see how long it would take before I figured out that it was an exhibit of modern art.

    I was in my teens when Blair Witch Project came out. Then there was that Mermaids documentary on Discovery Channel or TLC. Prior to both was radio The War of the Worlds. There's been others. This is so much more than those. I love it! I'm here for it.
    I'm not sure why so many people seem to be frustrated or angry after experiencing this type of creative endeavor. I have an idea that they foolish when they learn it's not real
