@@olencone4005it is an inherent part of our identity to avoid or outright reject all things European. When we enacted the Munroe Doctrine, we meant it!😂
I remember the first time I saw Mount Shasta in the distance as a kid and it’s honestly insanely stark how much it sticks out from the landscape. Like I thought it was a lone cloud at first only to realize…oh that’s a mountain. I get why people would make legends out of something like that.
Every single time I drive up there, I try to distinguish cloud from mountain. When I finally can see the distinction, I am knocked out by the beauty, as if I have never witnessed this marvel before. It's magnificent.
13:30 Simon is talking about the same radiological effects that caused the distinction of low-background/pre-war steel and modern day steel alloys here. Pre-war steel is in high demand for high precision medical devices in hospitals because it was refined prior to use of nuclear weapons. After the use of nuclear weapons, enough radiation was thrown into the atmosphere and dispersed across the planet that today's modern steel contains trace amounts of radioactive isotopes. These trace amounts aren't enough to harm fauna or flora, but they are large enough to throw off high precision equipment used in the medical industry.
@@RedVelvetRabbit to add more to it, this also lead to people illegally scavenging pre nuke ship wrecks, and some of them there's barely anything left because of this.
That Isotope is actually Carbon-14 which is unstable and has a half-life of 5700 years. Carbon-14 Does occur naturally due to Cosmic Radiation BUT the Nuclear Testing/Bomb Drops caused it to be in a Very High abundance since, and because of that half-life well... Not gonna be clean anytime soon
There is also the amount of strontium in bones and teeth of creatures before and after nuclear weapons testing began. Strontium can go in the same chemical reaction chains as calcium, so it can become fixed in bones and teeth through diet. North Americans have elevated levels of strontium from this, and the milk and cheese that is popularly consumed in Canada and USA.
Wooo Shasta Mentioned! As someone who grew up and lives near it, and has known people in California who've never even heard of it, it's still so weird whenever people bring it up. I never even knew there were all these weird conspiracies about it until a few years ago. It does have magma deep down in there what with being an extant volcano and all, but that's bout it. There's some pretty cool lava tubes associated with it, and plenty of natural wonders in the wider area- like the Shasta caverns, Burney falls, and Shasta's little sibling to the southeast Lassen, castle crags, etc, but ain't nothing supernatural about those either. Worth checking out if you're in the area if you're one for hiking though. There is also a cult problem in Redding, the biggest city in the area that has a pretty spectacular view of Shasta, if you want more weird shit. Also I'm impressed you nailed the pronunciation in one go, even other Americans keep mucking it up.
I totally get that, a couple months ago on Side Projects, there was an entry dedicated to a patient who drowned in icy water and was successfully revived a six hours later. One of my EMT class instructors was actually on that call. It wasn’t until it was included in that video that I realized how unique that case was and that it wasn’t a part of every EMT class.
@@laurenelizabeth8948Goddamn thats a wild case- and even wilder to have a personal connection to it! Always a weird feeling when you encounter things from your in person life mentioned in unexpected places only to find out how extraordinary it really is (or in Shasta's case, people Think it is)
Yes, the geomagnetism is wild.@@bluekittymax My father and I once made a project of hiking up Lassen trying to see if we could correlate fluctuations with mineral deposits back when I was in middle school, since I wanted to be a volcanologist. He patiently let me study the lava tubes in the Lava Beds too.
hey there, so I am actually in the United States Forest Service and I actually work in public information for the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. currently about half way through, had to comment at the start of the Alien section lol. so far its been pretty accurate but the thing with how Mt Shasta puts off a lot of spiritual energy, thats mostly because its been a very sacred spot for the local natives for a very very long time, theres also increased magnetism in the area from Mt Shasta itself and also from the large amounts of Iron we have here. love the video!
I moved from Lewiston (Trinity County) 4 years ago. I agree, many area Tribes have a spiritual connection, and the earth (and water) have an extreme iron content (plays hell on the laundry 😁) But I can't say I ever heard about a under ground alien city🤷♀️ I lived in the area for nearly 30 years, prior to moving. So I'm a little confused. I am a little surprised that the Caverns, nor Mt. Lassen were mentioned 🤔
its a huge huge thing the underground alien city, obviously not true lol but, there was a religion based off of it it started in the late 1800s or the early 1900s worshipping the lemurians, or really the ascended the people in white, the leader claimed he had become an ascended. its actually still active today, and has in the millions of members, they make pilgrimmages out here.the cause for the magnetism and the iron as well as gold and silver and lead and copper, is because we are along the volcanic scenic byway, and have alot of volcanic history here, some massive mile long 50ft diameter lava tubes and hot springs theres lots and lots of amazing here@@janiceperkins4340
probably just for time, Mt Shasta and its lore was probably as much as they could fit in, Lassen that I know of doesnt have as much history or lore in the same sense as Shasta, yes, its got the volcanic park which is like a miniature Yellowstone, but its also not in my forest so I dont know as much about it @@janiceperkins4340
@@janiceperkins4340 yeah this video surprised me as someone from NorCal. I know a fair few conspiracy theorist types and paranoid tweakers that go on and on about crap like this and yet they've never brought up this stuff and a few of them go fishing every year at Shasta.
@@dontneednoname2072 Oh, it gets even worse in Trinity County! A few people I thought had common sense and some tweakers insist they have seen vehicles disappear into the mountains and the government is secretly mining Plutonium !😮 🤣🤣 So glad we escaped!😊
I used to live in Mount Shasta (the town, not *in* the mountain) off and on during the 80's and 90's. I'm gonna add one more bit of lore. The Acid House duo, The KLF and their songs are all about Lemurians. Their original name was The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu (Lemurian continent). This is what The KLF is about indeed!
I have summited Mt. Shasta 4 times. 2 by the West Face, 1 by Avalanche Gulch, 1 by Sargents Ridge. The wackiest thing about it are the locals. I did see the Aurora Borealis during the Sargents Ridge trip. Very awesome to see but no aliens or spirits.
So envious, I live in the UK, we have some moutains but I can't comprehend almost, the vast land mass that's the US! You have Bears, we have Hedgehogs (they are gorgeous though!).....you have Cougars we have......cats, you have huge Eagles, we have Sparrows.....you have venomous snakes, we have Adders (our only venomous snake) you have Buffalo, we have Cows and Sheep. 😂 At least we don't have Trump! Honestly would love to travel to the US!
I live near it and my god you’re right with the locals part🤣I’ve lived here for 24 years and that is 110% true. No aliens or weird stuff. But you will see a hippie doing a ritual to the mountain pretty commonly😭
I live between Mount Shasta and Mount Lassen and I love seeing these two mountains every day. And now I’m super excited to see what Simon says about our weird little superstitious folks. We love them. And even buy a few of their crystals. …. And yep there it is. Only took 10:15 for Lemuria to get mentioned.
Was driving on US97 (north side of Mt Shasta) about a year ago. Saw a Bigfoot walking off an alien's UFO (Grays, I think) being greeted by a crowd of Lemurians, each one holding a cosmic muffin. Also saw two Lizard People out walking their lemurs.
You should do a video on Thylacines aka Tasmanian Tigers and the fact that some people think they either never went extinct or went extinct much later than thought, a theory which recently gained evidence. There's even some ring cam footage of what people claim are Tasmanian Tigers and a lot of people who believe that the people of Tasmania hide the fact that they aren't extinct. It's a very interesting theory.
@@mione3690 that would be a great thing to add to the video and something that I was unaware of despite keeping myself pretty well versed on the Thylacine. I'm not Australian, but I'm fascinated by them.
For the sake of the thylacines, maybe their continued existence - if true - should not be so widely advertised... Can't be sure humans learned to make sure the zoo animals are inside before they close the doors to their indoor pens this time around.
@@trishapellisI'm another thylacine nerd, and remembering that that was really their end makes me make similar noises to the ones I and my fellow ancient world nerds commonly make about the Library of Alexandria burning. Also sorry that sentence turned into a TEDTalk.
Being from Northern California, I cackled when I read that title. A lot of old hippies I knew used to tell stories about seeing caves in the Sierras and Kings Range that only appeared by specific moonlight or certain dates or weather conditions.
About the nucleotides that Simon is talking about ~13:00, what he's thinking about is probably pre-war steel. Industrial steel furnaces pass a lot of air through them. It's the blast part of blast furnace. Post-atomic detonation there is an infinitesimal amount of radioactive debris in the atmosphere. It's a tiny amount, it won't harm you, but it is there. Generally this doesn't matter but in instruments that needs to detect trace amounts of radiation it's a problem because contemporary steel is fouled by that trace radioactivity when it's forged. That's the reason why pre-war steel is seriously valuable for science. It can be melted and reworked without exposing it to our atmosphere and allows for incredibly sensitive and accurate radiological readings.
I've seen where salvage of sunken WWII ships is being done for the pre-irradiated steel. I can't imagine the cost of retrievel and who's paying for it.
Really really appreciate the way traditional Native stories are acknowledged and presented before the bonkers stuff, with cultural context. Many channels covering mysteries and the unknown would have added them as point 6 out of 10 of crazy theories and not even bother naming the tribes.
I grew up in Redding, northern California. You can easily see the volcano from the top of Pine Street, miracle mile. I called Mt. Shasta “the Lady” as you can matrix a woman laying on her back and looking at the sky. My dad cut Christmas trees at her base every year. I spent time camping at Gumboot Lake and up in Dunsmir. I never saw anything strange besides cool clouds.
As a Lemurian, I thank you for helping keep our secret society secret via making people disbelieve in our existence. For that we are grateful. Also we got more Simon Lore in this video than we did uncovering the truth of the Lemurian secret society.
I live within 50 miles of Mt. Shasta and Crater Lake in Klamath Falls Oregon. I can see Shasta most days that I’m driving for work. The Klamath and Modoc tribes are the local tribes you mentioned in the video. It’s pretty cool seeing a video so close to home. I haven’t heard most of the stories you mentioned about Shasta!
Traveling from Oregon to California usually requires going on I-5. This means driving up the Siskiyou mountain range and over. Mt Shasta is a completely beautiful site on the left side of the freeway when traveling south. In winter months the pass can be dangerous and gets closed due to ice and snow. Chains and other traction devices are often required: Yes, its a very tall mountain. Its truly a major freeway and Shasta is beautiful to drive past. Sorry i missed all those crystal shops! Born in Oregon and having traveled to California along this route, i must admit i never once saw a Sasquatch, aliens, UFOs nor any Lemurians, which I kept my eyes open for specifically , because of my previously mentioned schizo friend from highschool. 😊 Alas,none appeared, indicating my special friend had not been right before I even knew it.😊
Yp. I have Kin in Bend and used to live in Fresno. We made this trip many times in my childhood. Got stuck in Redding afew times and sat in the Denny´s overnight.
My friend lived at the base of the mountain for a few years, and we would go and play concerts at the high school, every now and then. The shows would be awesome, but that’s besides the point - there was always some weird cloud formation, and electric activity around the mountain. Now, common sense would tell you that these events are due to elevation and weather etc. etc. but boy, oh boy, the people got some wild beliefs at the base of Shasta lol we would go out snowmobiling and go out to the basin and traverse up to the highest points we could. I can confidently say that there are no aliens up there. Even after a psychedelic trip… Still no aliens.
I love Simons version of the "bros' fight" laughing to myself because its the chief that called down the sky god to help the tribe not the underground god calling the sky god down. I love when he's lost track of the script two lines later 😂 😂
Crazy becuase that's higher than it has ever been in Vegas ever in the past 100 years. A simple Google search show the highest its ever been there 47°C, I think Simon exaggerated a bit.
Hello Dear Simon. Thank you, once again. I have driven past Mount Shasta many times over the years; and had no idea what kind of party I was missing. By the way, at 21:15 in this video, you read off the word "insecurity", but the text on screen read "Insincerity". As for the Cosmic Muffin, back in the 1980's and 1990's here in Los Angeles, there was indeed a radio astrologer who would cast his forecast for every zodiac sign on the radio at around 4:30am every Monday morning. (Keeping in mind that the cast and crews of tv shows and films are all waking up at that tender hour to get to work.) Thank you for another good video.
This is a new record for soonest I've gotten to watch one of your videos after release! And I'm so glad it's about this topic! I've coincidentally watched a few other videos about Mt. Shasta in the last couple days and i was hoping you'd make one! Thank you good sir! 😎
I live in Oregon near Mt Shasta. I’ve been down to, on and around, this Mtn on service calls. I’ve seen some really different things in that general area starting with rain. There’s been enough that they finally cut run-offs for all the water as mudslides were starting to occur since all the plants and their roots burnt off (thanks Gavin) Then theirs that even weirder stuff, SNOW! Sometimes we even see hail, but mainly snow. Take these oddities along with some serious thigh winds, boy it really creates a storm! I love the stories, but your version had me in stitches and am now a very happy subscriber. Thank you for being honest and straight forward with your short jabs, specifically Danny Devito, it makes listening to you very enjoyable.
I REALLY love how Simon was (In a recent video) talking about how good he is at reading comprehension then got utterly confused about the two gods/spirits fighting lolol Edit: I know he said he is getting sick so I get he is likely ALLEGEDLY hopped up on cough meds :P
Right? Simon -“F*ck the crystal shops.” Me, a guy who who literally wholesales crystals and sold to a bunch of shops in Mount Shasta last summer-“Dang bro. I take that kinda personally.”
@@jameserb7904 Exactly. I once paid 20 bucks for a 99 cent Arizona Iced Tea, because i was stuck in a tent full off 80+ soldier's body odor in the Mojave Desert and i set the exchange rate at "I don't care if you think this is stupid, i want it, because this will make me less stressed". And where there are buyers, there will be sellers. And bless any merchant who says "F' it, i'm in!"
Me only half listening to this and trying to figure out how we got from Native American legends to foresighted Atlanteans to an underground sun. 🤣 Definitely going to need to restart this from the beginning.
I grew up in The Valley below Mount Shasta. Spend a lot of time on that mountain. Never once heard a conspiracy theory about it. So there should be interesting.
Simon talking about getting his hands on one of these books - I actually bought the book about Lemuria from the gift shop of the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose, and it is glorious. It is indeed as wacky as you suspect, and more. The height of entertainment, and let's not forget the chapters describing California as if it were some mystical, mythical place as well. It's amazing.
Such fun ,thanks guys. This broke up my rather homely afternoon of doing some light housework and cooking a casserole (Uk kind ) very nicely. What I mostly took away from this is that it would be possible to run a highly profitable B&B for gullible people in this area.
Seeing Mount Shasta for the first time as a child 50 years ago is still engrained into my brain. It was insanely beautiful yet felt mystical. Not just the mountain but the drive from its South into Southern Oregon. It’s just different
Thanks, great belly laughs, I actually live in Mount Shasta, the town, not in the mountain. Great place but yes many weird people. Good skiing and mountain biking, fishing, and other adventure-type stuff.
I grew up hunting and fishing in the Trinity Alps, around Mount Shasta, and that whole general area. Been to Mt. Shasta quite few times. My family even hiked down into a Lava tube midsummer for 5 hours, ate lunch next to the ice, and hiked back up by dusk. Could have actually been 11 miles down. Haha No gold treasures though.
Ok i admit it yes, the production dude and or team had just sent me into a strange fully immersed vision/permission (hard to describe=strange) from the angle that captured, Henãlu. The crisp yet smooth but still beautiful and powerful perfect wave displayed briefly at 13:00.. O how i miss the Ocean and in my youth the time spent in love with it. How did i get so old so fast with out knowing it?!? From my heart, Thank you for sparking such lovely memories for this i wish you good Fortune and every Blessing... Aloha Ahi Ahi 🤙
Just found the Decoding videos. This is the second I've watched. I gotta say... I REALLY enjoy this version of Simon! Calling out the BS but still being open minded when the info is legit. And just funny! Keep it up!
Crystals are pretty, Simon! And some can be very pricey. My favourite piece is a green moss agate. It looks a dark green until you hold it to the light and then it looks like moss in a creamy stone. It’s just beautiful…and it makes a good gaming marker
I live in Shasta County, where I can see Mount Shasta easily by looking North (though it should be said that paradoxically, Mount Shasta isn't in Shasta County, but in Siskiyou County--and neither the town of Shasta nor the City of Shasta Lake are the county seat of Shasta County despite being in said county, but Redding is, and the Shasta Native Americans aren't from Shasta County either, whose major tribe are the Wintu; can get a little confusing to people, heck Shasta is just a historical town and not really much of anything to write home about, and Shasta Lake as a city has only existed since the late 90s, when they basically knocked several towns around Shasta Lake, the actual lake, under the same umbrella with a shiny new name). Therefore, this video is interesting to me. All my life, though, Mount Shasta has always just been a mountain. A big one, for sure, but a mountain, just like Lassen to the East and Shasta-Bally (tended to be just called Bally around here) to the West. They're important to the economy, though. Their spring water sells well enough, and there's a board and ski park that draws people in (it's a dirt biking park in the summer). However, the real draw of the local economy, and closer to me, is Shasta Lake, with Shasta Dam, which provides power to us, and which sells power down the state, to places who don't have the resources for hydroelectric. Also, Lassen's closer and cheaper, so if my mom wanted to take my siblings and I to some guaranteed snow to play in, that's where we would go. Interesting to know there are a lot of New Age-y crystal shops around Mount Shasta, though. This area is heavily conservative, and there's a bit of religious nuttery around (anybody who's heard of the megachurch called Bethel--they're in Redding), so anything counter to Christian teachings seems like it wouldn't do so well. But I've rarely been to Mount Shasta, so who's to say? I mean, I know there's a large contingent of weed grown further North in Yreka (not really in Weed, as far as I know, though--though tourists apparently constantly steal that town's welcome sign). I'd understand crystal shops happening more in Humboldt County, around Eureka and Arcata, because that's the hippy area, but they're on the coast and Shasta and Siskiyou counties are nearly a hundred miles from all that. And yes, to those who have never been here: Eureka and Yreka are both Northern California cities (eh, Yreka is more of a town than a city, but that's a nitpick). We don't pronounce them the same. Eureka is spelled like people are used to it being pronounced (you-reek-uh, like telling someone they stink), and Yreka is one we just say the first letter and then the rest (why-reek-uh, like you're asking someone the cause of their stink). And on that note, "Siskiyou" is pronounced here as "sis-k-you", though it's possible we're supposed to pronounce the second "i". At least those pronunciations don't make people's brains hurt as much as places much further South, like Zzyzyx Road.
Thank you, I grew up in Mt. Shasta and its always frustrating to see how many people get all of that wrong. Hopefully this clears up a lot of confusion for people.
Katy's Ben Franklin joke made me think of a lyric from Dire Straits (Yes, I'm old!) from a song called Industrial Disease "Two men say they're Jesus, one of them must be wrong" Edit: Also, on screen it said "insincere" but Simon read it as 'insecure' then referenced it many more times as 'insecure'! While insincere feels like the better word, insecure would also work, so WHICH IS IT? ;)
I remember learning about Mt Shasta during the eruption of Mt St. Helens in 1980. The local media decided to let everyone know that it's also a volcano, further feeding my childhood anxiety about the event.
Simon, the Chief and father of the daughter called down the one deity to fight off the spurned deity. So yeah, definitely not bros. But also no betrayal
It’s okay Simon: I, too, am a strong proponent of Multiverse Theory. Partially cuz it would make sense but also it’s just badass to think about the infinite possibilities.
Hey Simon, I live in Mendocino County, North California. Can not remember, in 45 years of life that includes civil and military service, anyone ever mentioning anything relevant about Mt.shasta. I feel like you have just completed a full 45 minute episode on methamphetamine delusions about NorCal. If you want to talk about something NorCal relevant then maybe Mount ST. Helena, because people died, or maybe "Trail of tears", because people died, or maybe our current problem, a invasion from the south because people are un-aliving there too. Love all the other content
The other thing about the "Lemuria land bridge" theory that is *crucial* to understand it is, when it was proposed, *no mainstream scientist* accepted the idea of continetal drift - he was hypothesizing *one hundred years before* continental drfit and plate tectonics were the accepted theory.
The Cosmic Muffin Daryl Martinie was an astrologer who used to broadcast his predictions on the local classic rock station (WBLM). I’m sure it was similar with other stations in this region. Overall predictions, lucky color, and daily ratings that kinda stuff at the end of the broadcast he used to say “It’s a wise man who rules the stars and a fool who is ruled by them. Over and out.” Everyday from the time I can remember listening to morning radio until his death in 2006. I guess it’s one of those things that fades away in your memories until someone asks.
No that’s how I spelled it I was just going from memory though he was on the radio after all I never saw his name in print I knew his last name had a silent e because an older coworker had the same last name
If you've never had any of the Shasta brand sodas, I highly recommend them. They're great for an off-brand product and their Tiki Punch is way better than any other fruit punch soda available including Hawaiian Punch.
Hey Simon, I am waiting for Danny DeVito to guest narrate some entries here on Decoding the Unknown. I can imagine his dulcet tones reading me crazy conspiracy theories.
Simon, two things, not sure if anyone said it already. The quote from the Lemurian book said “insincere” not “insecure”. In other words, if you say you disagree with them after all the “evidence” they presented, you would be lying. Second, in the Native American story, it was the Chief (the father of the girl the below spirit coveted) who called on the sky spirit for help. Thats why they were fighting. I really love your channels btw, this and Casual Criminalist are my favorite. Keep up the good work.
The clouds are called lenticular clouds. They are very common not only at Shasta, but along the western slope of the Sandía Mountains in New Mexico and other similar mountains.
Your voice is the only voice I can sleep to rn. As soon as youtube goes to another video that isn't your voice, I wake up. That's what I'm going through rn in 2024 lol
Hey man, love your content on all of the 127 channels you speak for. I support all of them. That beings said People like you do odd things all the time just like other humans(including myself), and we all deserve scrutiny. Thanks for coming to my ted talk, all humans are whack.
Speaking as someone who lives in California, this is the first I've heard of a lot of this stuff. Mostly my thoughts of Shasta are "if it an Lassen both erupt after heavy snow season, the entire valley is FUUUUUUUUUUCKED."
Simon's opening rant about bands made me think about how Brian May kicked rocks outta academia to become world famous in Queen, had a whole ass music career, then finally decided to come back decades later to finish his research into a super niche atmospheric dust phenomena and actually got it published. Still not sure if he was literally the only person in the world to care about it or if the entire science community just collectively decided to leave it alone because he always said he'd like to come back to that. I like to think it was the latter and for the last 40 years anytime some random grad student showed interest their professors were like, "Yeah, maybe you should pursue something more important." Knowing full well that was Brian May's thing. Also I think the nuclear dating is something to do with cesium 120 iirc. The cesium content is used in the art world to determine the authenticity of renaissance paintings when they allegedly pop up out of somebody's attic or basement.
Thank you! As someone who worked in a lookout where i could see mt shasta, a view just miles away everyday... I love that my home is among the weirdest.
My grandfather was a mountain climber and summited Mt Shasta a few times. I asked my dad if he had any stories about weird shit around it and he had none. I'm pretty disappointed.
“You’re just criticizing my lake of science and evidence cause your insecure” almost perfectly sums up most modern conspiracy theorists on the internet
I was just in the area over this past summer, and I was floored by Mount Shasta. It was stunning, and looked like a painting. I've never seen in person a mountain that tall before.
I love the Danny Devito measurement, please never get rid of it!

Why do I get the feeling that Simon found joy in telling other kids that Santa wasn’t real, when he was a kid.
I dunno, sounds like he believed in witchcraft when he was a kid.
Santa's real, you've just been very naughty
Definitely
I just don't understand why children can't apply the same logic to God after they learn about Santa, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy.
Of course he did, this is a guy that pranked his sister into thinking she'd won the lottery lol.

Wooo Shasta Mentioned!
As someone who grew up and lives near it, and has known people in California who've never even heard of it, it's still so weird whenever people bring it up. I never even knew there were all these weird conspiracies about it until a few years ago. It does have magma deep down in there what with being an extant volcano and all, but that's bout it.
There's some pretty cool lava tubes associated with it, and plenty of natural wonders in the wider area- like the Shasta caverns, Burney falls, and Shasta's little sibling to the southeast Lassen, castle crags, etc, but ain't nothing supernatural about those either. Worth checking out if you're in the area if you're one for hiking though.
There is also a cult problem in Redding, the biggest city in the area that has a pretty spectacular view of Shasta, if you want more weird shit.
Also I'm impressed you nailed the pronunciation in one go, even other Americans keep mucking it up.
I totally get that, a couple months ago on Side Projects, there was an entry dedicated to a patient who drowned in icy water and was successfully revived a six hours later. One of my EMT class instructors was actually on that call. It wasn’t until it was included in that video that I realized how unique that case was and that it wasn’t a part of every EMT class.
@@laurenelizabeth8948Goddamn thats a wild case- and even wilder to have a personal connection to it! Always a weird feeling when you encounter things from your in person life mentioned in unexpected places only to find out how extraordinary it really is (or in Shasta's case, people Think it is)
You can get lost in those caves and conventional compasses don’t work well.😂
Yes, the geomagnetism is wild.@@bluekittymax My father and I once made a project of hiking up Lassen trying to see if we could correlate fluctuations with mineral deposits back when I was in middle school, since I wanted to be a volcanologist. He patiently let me study the lava tubes in the Lava Beds too.
California gets bashed too much. Thanks for being kind.
hey there, so I am actually in the United States Forest Service and I actually work in public information for the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. currently about half way through, had to comment at the start of the Alien section lol. so far its been pretty accurate but the thing with how Mt Shasta puts off a lot of spiritual energy, thats mostly because its been a very sacred spot for the local natives for a very very long time, theres also increased magnetism in the area from Mt Shasta itself and also from the large amounts of Iron we have here. love the video!
I moved from Lewiston (Trinity County) 4 years ago. I agree, many area Tribes have a spiritual connection, and the earth (and water) have an extreme iron content (plays hell on the laundry 😁)
But I can't say I ever heard about a under ground alien city🤷♀️
I lived in the area for nearly 30 years, prior to moving. So I'm a little confused.
I am a little surprised that the Caverns, nor
Mt. Lassen were mentioned 🤔
its a huge huge thing the underground alien city, obviously not true lol but, there was a religion based off of it it started in the late 1800s or the early 1900s worshipping the lemurians, or really the ascended the people in white, the leader claimed he had become an ascended. its actually still active today, and has in the millions of members, they make pilgrimmages out here.the cause for the magnetism and the iron as well as gold and silver and lead and copper, is because we are along the volcanic scenic byway, and have alot of volcanic history here, some massive mile long 50ft diameter lava tubes and hot springs theres lots and lots of amazing here@@janiceperkins4340
probably just for time, Mt Shasta and its lore was probably as much as they could fit in, Lassen that I know of doesnt have as much history or lore in the same sense as Shasta, yes, its got the volcanic park which is like a miniature Yellowstone, but its also not in my forest so I dont know as much about it @@janiceperkins4340
@@janiceperkins4340 yeah this video surprised me as someone from NorCal. I know a fair few conspiracy theorist types and paranoid tweakers that go on and on about crap like this and yet they've never brought up this stuff and a few of them go fishing every year at Shasta.
@@dontneednoname2072
Oh, it gets even worse in Trinity County! A few people I thought had common sense and some tweakers insist they have seen vehicles disappear into the mountains and the government is secretly mining Plutonium !😮
🤣🤣
So glad we escaped!😊
What’s inside Mount Shasta? Simon’s tangent collection
Is it big enough ?....
😂😂😂 gonna need a pocket dimension then
And a giant reservoir of the best cola drink in existence.
Caves tons of caves and lava tubes, supposedly there's tubes in the boonies that'll take you all the way to shasta.
@@stevelee5724 I would’ve said, “sure” until I watched this video. He was doing tangents in tangents. It was like tangentception-level tangents.
Woo! A Katy script! I know Danny and Kevin get a lot of love in the WhistlerVerse, but I do love Katy's writing ^_^
Thank you for continuing the Danny DeVito measurements, I chuckled when that came about
“2916 danny (devito) all stacked up NICELY” i love every writer from the whistlerverse especially when we get danny devito comparisons from kath
I used to live in Mount Shasta (the town, not *in* the mountain) off and on during the 80's and 90's. I'm gonna add one more bit of lore.
The Acid House duo, The KLF and their songs are all about Lemurians. Their original name was The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu (Lemurian continent).
This is what The KLF is about indeed!
Cool! Thank you for that information! I never knew that 😊
I’ll have to check them out. Thanks!
My parents used to rent a cabin in the Shasta Trinity National Forrest area . It’s absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend going.
I have summited Mt. Shasta 4 times. 2 by the West Face, 1 by Avalanche Gulch, 1 by Sargents Ridge. The wackiest thing about it are the locals. I did see the Aurora Borealis during the Sargents Ridge trip. Very awesome to see but no aliens or spirits.
So envious, I live in the UK, we have some moutains but I can't comprehend almost, the vast land mass that's the US! You have Bears, we have Hedgehogs (they are gorgeous though!).....you have Cougars we have......cats, you have huge Eagles, we have Sparrows.....you have venomous snakes, we have Adders (our only venomous snake) you have Buffalo, we have Cows and Sheep. 😂 At least we don't have Trump!
Honestly would love to travel to the US!
As a certified local of somewhere I'm offended
I’ve only done the avalanche gulch route. Awesome experience and I’ve thought about making a trip out to do it again with my split board.
@@supernoodles91 We don't have buffalo, we have bison. There is a difference.
I live near it and my god you’re right with the locals part🤣I’ve lived here for 24 years and that is 110% true. No aliens or weird stuff. But you will see a hippie doing a ritual to the mountain pretty commonly😭
I live between Mount Shasta and Mount Lassen and I love seeing these two mountains every day. And now I’m super excited to see what Simon says about our weird little superstitious folks. We love them. And even buy a few of their crystals. …. And yep there it is. Only took 10:15 for Lemuria to get mentioned.
Was driving on US97 (north side of Mt Shasta) about a year ago. Saw a Bigfoot walking off an alien's UFO (Grays, I think) being greeted by a crowd of Lemurians, each one holding a cosmic muffin. Also saw two Lizard People out walking their lemurs.
tell us more about these muffins
Yeah, the truck stop in that area is VERY popular.
@@quester09 I think they were blueberry muffins. Well, they looked and tasted like blueberries...
I need some of those muffins!
What you described is just a tartarian circle jerk
I’m from Northern California and grew up to all the neat stories about it. So of course I had to click on this video.
You should do a video on Thylacines aka Tasmanian Tigers and the fact that some people think they either never went extinct or went extinct much later than thought, a theory which recently gained evidence. There's even some ring cam footage of what people claim are Tasmanian Tigers and a lot of people who believe that the people of Tasmania hide the fact that they aren't extinct. It's a very interesting theory.
Forrest Galante recently posted a video that he has a lead that thylacine might be present in Papua
@@mione3690 that would be a great thing to add to the video and something that I was unaware of despite keeping myself pretty well versed on the Thylacine. I'm not Australian, but I'm fascinated by them.
People swear they’re around in the northwest of the state.
For the sake of the thylacines, maybe their continued existence - if true - should not be so widely advertised... Can't be sure humans learned to make sure the zoo animals are inside before they close the doors to their indoor pens this time around.
@@trishapellisI'm another thylacine nerd, and remembering that that was really their end makes me make similar noises to the ones I and my fellow ancient world nerds commonly make about the Library of Alexandria burning.
Also sorry that sentence turned into a TEDTalk.
Being from Northern California, I cackled when I read that title. A lot of old hippies I knew used to tell stories about seeing caves in the Sierras and Kings Range that only appeared by specific moonlight or certain dates or weather conditions.
About the nucleotides that Simon is talking about ~13:00, what he's thinking about is probably pre-war steel. Industrial steel furnaces pass a lot of air through them. It's the blast part of blast furnace. Post-atomic detonation there is an infinitesimal amount of radioactive debris in the atmosphere. It's a tiny amount, it won't harm you, but it is there. Generally this doesn't matter but in instruments that needs to detect trace amounts of radiation it's a problem because contemporary steel is fouled by that trace radioactivity when it's forged. That's the reason why pre-war steel is seriously valuable for science. It can be melted and reworked without exposing it to our atmosphere and allows for incredibly sensitive and accurate radiological readings.
What he described is also a thing
I've seen where salvage of sunken WWII ships is being done for the pre-irradiated steel. I can't imagine the cost of retrievel and who's paying for it.
Really really appreciate the way traditional Native stories are acknowledged and presented before the bonkers stuff, with cultural context. Many channels covering mysteries and the unknown would have added them as point 6 out of 10 of crazy theories and not even bother naming the tribes.
"No one will miss the crystal shops. F the crystal shops." - best Simon Whistler quote. Thanks Simon!
On the plus side, some of the crystals actually do make pretty jewelry. Shhhh.
Very Pretty! I like regular Stones, too
Best Simon Whistler statement indeed!
I made a day job of supplying crystal shops in the late 80's
@@patrickbrumm420 That sounds like a pretty cool gig.
I grew up in Redding, northern California. You can easily see the volcano from the top of Pine Street, miracle mile. I called Mt. Shasta “the Lady” as you can matrix a woman laying on her back and looking at the sky. My dad cut Christmas trees at her base every year. I spent time camping at Gumboot Lake and up in Dunsmir. I never saw anything strange besides cool clouds.
The cut to Owen Wilson just made my whole week!! Thank you for that.
Weow
that was two spelling errors from disaster 🤣
😁
Lol! I can't even remember when Dany DeVito first became an official measurement for decoding the unknown but it still makes me smile every time 😅
I'll also keep pushing for the tangent timer to be a regular thing across all of Simon's "Never read this before," channels.
As a Lemurian, I thank you for helping keep our secret society secret via making people disbelieve in our existence. For that we are grateful.
Also we got more Simon Lore in this video than we did uncovering the truth of the Lemurian secret society.
Watching the snow fall around Mt Shasta currently 😄
Had to drop out of casual criminalist to rough for my skin. But I love decoding the unknown, keep them coming.❤
I live within 50 miles of Mt. Shasta and Crater Lake in Klamath Falls Oregon. I can see Shasta most days that I’m driving for work. The Klamath and Modoc tribes are the local tribes you mentioned in the video. It’s pretty cool seeing a video so close to home. I haven’t heard most of the stories you mentioned about Shasta!
Traveling from Oregon to California usually requires going on I-5. This means driving up the Siskiyou mountain range and over. Mt Shasta is a completely beautiful site on the left side of the freeway when traveling south. In winter months the pass can be dangerous and gets closed due to ice and snow. Chains and other traction devices are often required: Yes, its a very tall mountain.
Its truly a major freeway and Shasta is beautiful to drive past. Sorry i missed all those crystal shops! Born in Oregon and having traveled to California along this route, i must admit i never once saw a Sasquatch, aliens, UFOs nor any Lemurians, which I kept my eyes open for specifically , because of my previously mentioned schizo friend from highschool. 😊 Alas,none appeared, indicating my special friend had not been right before I even knew it.😊
Yp. I have Kin in Bend and used to live in Fresno. We made this trip many times in my childhood. Got stuck in Redding afew times and sat in the Denny´s overnight.
Anyone who has a fear of heights- beware driving through this pass! Windy or snowy is pretty tough.
My friend lived at the base of the mountain for a few years, and we would go and play concerts at the high school, every now and then. The shows would be awesome, but that’s besides the point - there was always some weird cloud formation, and electric activity around the mountain. Now, common sense would tell you that these events are due to elevation and weather etc. etc. but boy, oh boy, the people got some wild beliefs at the base of Shasta lol we would go out snowmobiling and go out to the basin and traverse up to the highest points we could. I can confidently say that there are no aliens up there. Even after a psychedelic trip… Still no aliens.
I love Simons version of the "bros' fight" laughing to myself because its the chief that called down the sky god to help the tribe not the underground god calling the sky god down. I love when he's lost track of the script two lines later 😂 😂
Simon's excitement to find out what connects Madagascene lemurs and a California volcano was *adorable*.
When Simon said 50 degrees in Vegas, i was thinking damn thats cold for there. Then i remembered Celsius😅
Crazy becuase that's higher than it has ever been in Vegas ever in the past 100 years. A simple Google search show the highest its ever been there 47°C, I think Simon exaggerated a bit.
Hello Dear Simon. Thank you, once again. I have driven past Mount Shasta many times over the years; and had no idea what kind of party I was missing. By the way, at 21:15 in this video, you read off the word "insecurity", but the text on screen read "Insincerity". As for the Cosmic Muffin, back in the 1980's and 1990's here in Los Angeles, there was indeed a radio astrologer who would cast his forecast for every zodiac sign on the radio at around 4:30am every Monday morning. (Keeping in mind that the cast and crews of tv shows and films are all waking up at that tender hour to get to work.) Thank you for another good video.
I'm on board with Kate's writing style!
This is a new record for soonest I've gotten to watch one of your videos after release! And I'm so glad it's about this topic! I've coincidentally watched a few other videos about Mt. Shasta in the last couple days and i was hoping you'd make one! Thank you good sir! 😎
I live in Oregon near Mt Shasta. I’ve been down to, on and around, this Mtn on service calls. I’ve seen some really different things in that general area starting with rain. There’s been enough that they finally cut run-offs for all the water as mudslides were starting to occur since all the plants and their roots burnt off (thanks Gavin) Then theirs that even weirder stuff, SNOW! Sometimes we even see hail, but mainly snow. Take these oddities along with some serious thigh winds, boy it really creates a storm!
I love the stories, but your version had me in stitches and am now a very happy subscriber. Thank you for being honest and straight forward with your short jabs, specifically Danny Devito, it makes listening to you very enjoyable.
I REALLY love how Simon was (In a recent video) talking about how good he is at reading comprehension then got utterly confused about the two gods/spirits fighting lolol
Edit: I know he said he is getting sick so I get he is likely ALLEGEDLY hopped up on cough meds :P
So glad people are actually following, regardless of Simon’s reading 😆
@@katywatson4940 nah, I watch/subscribe it in large part *because* of his reading; it is just fun :)
Also:
ponderous -> "panderous"
insincerity -> "insecurity"
A+ video!
Intriguing topic, fantastic writing and analysis!
Simon, some of us like crystals because they're cool not necessarily because of their magical properties.
That's called bartering chips in military circles. Foreign currency, cigarettes, and pirated media also count
Right? Simon -“F*ck the crystal shops.”
Me, a guy who who literally wholesales crystals and sold to a bunch of shops in Mount Shasta last summer-“Dang bro. I take that kinda personally.”
Crystal Shops are great and you buying the crystals because you think the stones are beautiful.
@@jameserb7904 Exactly. I once paid 20 bucks for a 99 cent Arizona Iced Tea, because i was stuck in a tent full off 80+ soldier's body odor in the Mojave Desert and i set the exchange rate at "I don't care if you think this is stupid, i want it, because this will make me less stressed". And where there are buyers, there will be sellers. And bless any merchant who says "F' it, i'm in!"
Piezoelectric energy created by crystals, was unexplained "magic" until it could be explained, then becoming "science"
Me only half listening to this and trying to figure out how we got from Native American legends to foresighted Atlanteans to an underground sun. 🤣
Definitely going to need to restart this from the beginning.
I grew up in The Valley below Mount Shasta. Spend a lot of time on that mountain. Never once heard a conspiracy theory about it. So there should be interesting.
I didn’t know until this video that it was actually a real place and not just in odd stories.
The "huge and jarring JUMP CUT" really got me, nice editing lol
Simon talking about getting his hands on one of these books - I actually bought the book about Lemuria from the gift shop of the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose, and it is glorious. It is indeed as wacky as you suspect, and more. The height of entertainment, and let's not forget the chapters describing California as if it were some mystical, mythical place as well. It's amazing.
I live an hour south of Mt shasta. My daughter and I go there often. We love this place. My Native ancestors are from there.
Such fun ,thanks guys. This broke up my rather homely afternoon of doing some light housework and cooking a casserole (Uk kind ) very nicely. What I mostly took away from this is that it would be possible to run a highly profitable B&B for gullible people in this area.
Seeing Mount Shasta for the first time as a child 50 years ago is still engrained into my brain. It was insanely beautiful yet felt mystical. Not just the mountain but the drive from its South into Southern Oregon. It’s just different
Thanks, great belly laughs, I actually live in Mount Shasta, the town, not in the mountain. Great place but yes many weird people. Good skiing and mountain biking, fishing, and other adventure-type stuff.
I grew up hunting and fishing in the Trinity Alps, around Mount Shasta, and that whole general area. Been to Mt. Shasta quite few times. My family even hiked down into a Lava tube midsummer for 5 hours, ate lunch next to the ice, and hiked back up by dusk. Could have actually been 11 miles down. Haha No gold treasures though.
Ok i admit it yes, the production dude and or team had just sent me into a strange fully immersed vision/permission (hard to describe=strange) from the angle that captured, Henãlu. The crisp yet smooth but still beautiful and powerful perfect wave displayed briefly at 13:00..
O how i miss the Ocean and in my youth the time spent in love with it.
How did i get so old so fast with out knowing it?!?
From my heart, Thank you for sparking such lovely memories for this i wish you good Fortune and every Blessing...

Just found the Decoding videos. This is the second I've watched. I gotta say... I REALLY enjoy this version of Simon! Calling out the BS but still being open minded when the info is legit. And just funny! Keep it up!
Crystals are pretty, Simon! And some can be very pricey. My favourite piece is a green moss agate. It looks a dark green until you hold it to the light and then it looks like moss in a creamy stone. It’s just beautiful…and it makes a good gaming marker
I agree! I just collect them bc they’re pretty 😂 my favs are labradorite and peacock pyrite on poker chip calcite!
Yes that one is expensive I have a small collection id like to get more.

I live in Shasta County, where I can see Mount Shasta easily by looking North (though it should be said that paradoxically, Mount Shasta isn't in Shasta County, but in Siskiyou County--and neither the town of Shasta nor the City of Shasta Lake are the county seat of Shasta County despite being in said county, but Redding is, and the Shasta Native Americans aren't from Shasta County either, whose major tribe are the Wintu; can get a little confusing to people, heck Shasta is just a historical town and not really much of anything to write home about, and Shasta Lake as a city has only existed since the late 90s, when they basically knocked several towns around Shasta Lake, the actual lake, under the same umbrella with a shiny new name). Therefore, this video is interesting to me. All my life, though, Mount Shasta has always just been a mountain. A big one, for sure, but a mountain, just like Lassen to the East and Shasta-Bally (tended to be just called Bally around here) to the West. They're important to the economy, though. Their spring water sells well enough, and there's a board and ski park that draws people in (it's a dirt biking park in the summer). However, the real draw of the local economy, and closer to me, is Shasta Lake, with Shasta Dam, which provides power to us, and which sells power down the state, to places who don't have the resources for hydroelectric. Also, Lassen's closer and cheaper, so if my mom wanted to take my siblings and I to some guaranteed snow to play in, that's where we would go.
Interesting to know there are a lot of New Age-y crystal shops around Mount Shasta, though. This area is heavily conservative, and there's a bit of religious nuttery around (anybody who's heard of the megachurch called Bethel--they're in Redding), so anything counter to Christian teachings seems like it wouldn't do so well. But I've rarely been to Mount Shasta, so who's to say? I mean, I know there's a large contingent of weed grown further North in Yreka (not really in Weed, as far as I know, though--though tourists apparently constantly steal that town's welcome sign). I'd understand crystal shops happening more in Humboldt County, around Eureka and Arcata, because that's the hippy area, but they're on the coast and Shasta and Siskiyou counties are nearly a hundred miles from all that.
And yes, to those who have never been here: Eureka and Yreka are both Northern California cities (eh, Yreka is more of a town than a city, but that's a nitpick). We don't pronounce them the same. Eureka is spelled like people are used to it being pronounced (you-reek-uh, like telling someone they stink), and Yreka is one we just say the first letter and then the rest (why-reek-uh, like you're asking someone the cause of their stink). And on that note, "Siskiyou" is pronounced here as "sis-k-you", though it's possible we're supposed to pronounce the second "i". At least those pronunciations don't make people's brains hurt as much as places much further South, like Zzyzyx Road.
Thank you, I grew up in Mt. Shasta and its always frustrating to see how many people get all of that wrong. Hopefully this clears up a lot of confusion for people.
A casino in Reno. DUDE. Thanks for the smile. It's rare when someone on RUclips mentions my Hometown
And it rhymed!
Katy's Ben Franklin joke made me think of a lyric from Dire Straits (Yes, I'm old!) from a song called Industrial Disease "Two men say they're Jesus, one of them must be wrong"
Edit: Also, on screen it said "insincere" but Simon read it as 'insecure' then referenced it many more times as 'insecure'! While insincere feels like the better word, insecure would also work, so WHICH IS IT? ;)
Insincere is probably correct, but Simon repeating Insecure all the time was WAY FUNNIER! I hope he makes that a bit for other videos as well
I remember learning about Mt Shasta during the eruption of Mt St. Helens in 1980. The local media decided to let everyone know that it's also a volcano, further feeding my childhood anxiety about the event.
Simon, the Chief and father of the daughter called down the one deity to fight off the spurned deity.
So yeah, definitely not bros. But also no betrayal

Simon needs a travel budget, he needs to go on one of those retreats. That’d be hilarious.
It’s okay Simon: I, too, am a strong proponent of Multiverse Theory. Partially cuz it would make sense but also it’s just badass to think about the infinite possibilities.
Hey Simon, I live in Mendocino County, North California. Can not remember, in 45 years of life that includes civil and military service, anyone ever mentioning anything relevant about Mt.shasta. I feel like you have just completed a full 45 minute episode on methamphetamine delusions about NorCal. If you want to talk about something NorCal relevant then maybe Mount ST. Helena, because people died, or maybe "Trail of tears", because people died, or maybe our current problem, a invasion from the south because people are un-aliving there too. Love all the other content
The only Shasta I ever heard of until now was Shasta Soda. Thx for the enlightenment 😂
Named after the Mountain!
lol I was gonna say has to be from the soda.
The company used to get naturally carbonated water from springs east of the mountain.
I really appreciate all your channels! I enjoy learning about your traveled.
The other thing about the "Lemuria land bridge" theory that is *crucial* to understand it is, when it was proposed, *no mainstream scientist* accepted the idea of continetal drift - he was hypothesizing *one hundred years before* continental drfit and plate tectonics were the accepted theory.
Very interesting
Love this guy, could listen to him all day. Great voice.
The Cosmic Muffin Daryl Martinie was an astrologer who used to broadcast his predictions on the local classic rock station (WBLM). I’m sure it was similar with other stations in this region. Overall predictions, lucky color, and daily ratings that kinda stuff at the end of the broadcast he used to say “It’s a wise man who rules the stars and a fool who is ruled by them. Over and out.” Everyday from the time I can remember listening to morning radio until his death in 2006. I guess it’s one of those things that fades away in your memories until someone asks.
He even has a Wikipedia page, although apparently it was spelled Darrell, not Daryl.
@@leontrotsky7816could the "Daryl" spelling be caused by auto carrot?
No that’s how I spelled it I was just going from memory though he was on the radio after all I never saw his name in print I knew his last name had a silent e because an older coworker had the same last name
Whoever edited this one is great.
If you've never had any of the Shasta brand sodas, I highly recommend them. They're great for an off-brand product and their Tiki Punch is way better than any other fruit punch soda available including Hawaiian Punch.
Dr. Shasta is gross! Haha. Nothing like the real thing!
Don't want no pop, pop! Hasta' be a Shasta!
Im a big fan of the cream soda, but it has to be really cold to taste its best
Not anymore! now they use artifical sweeteners in even the regular flavors instead of just diet and they have that disgusting fake sugar aftertaste
Never heard any of those wild tales! I'm from Oregon. This was fascinating!
SG1 fans already know if there's a portal to other worlds under a mountain it's at the Cheyenne Mountain Complex ;)
Indeed
This is fun. I live within driving distance of Mt. Shasta
Hey Simon, I am waiting for Danny DeVito to guest narrate some entries here on Decoding the Unknown. I can imagine his dulcet tones reading me crazy conspiracy theories.
Simon, two things, not sure if anyone said it already. The quote from the Lemurian book said “insincere” not “insecure”. In other words, if you say you disagree with them after all the “evidence” they presented, you would be lying.
Second, in the Native American story, it was the Chief (the father of the girl the below spirit coveted) who called on the sky spirit for help. Thats why they were fighting.
I really love your channels btw, this and Casual Criminalist are my favorite. Keep up the good work.
The clouds are called lenticular clouds. They are very common not only at Shasta, but along the western slope of the Sandía Mountains in New Mexico and other similar mountains.
Your voice is the only voice I can sleep to rn. As soon as youtube goes to another video that isn't your voice, I wake up. That's what I'm going through rn in 2024 lol

2916 Danny (DeVitos). Americans will use anything other than the metric system for measurements
Because it's accurate... unlike foreigners thinking they were walking around in 122° heat, just so they can call it an even 50 degrees....
We use the metric system for important stuff. You know, science, guns, drugs...
Simon letting loose of a "raspberry" @ 18:00. Hahahahaha, Killer!
Danny de Vito: further evidence that Americans would rather use anything but the metric system. 😁
Hey man, love your content on all of the 127 channels you speak for. I support all of them.
That beings said People like you do odd things all the time just like other humans(including myself), and we all deserve scrutiny. Thanks for coming to my ted talk, all humans are whack.
Speaking as someone who lives in California, this is the first I've heard of a lot of this stuff. Mostly my thoughts of Shasta are "if it an Lassen both erupt after heavy snow season, the entire valley is FUUUUUUUUUUCKED."
Simon and his word fumbling at it again. Misread insincerity as insecurity and thus begins a tangent. Love ya Simon.
Simon's opening rant about bands made me think about how Brian May kicked rocks outta academia to become world famous in Queen, had a whole ass music career, then finally decided to come back decades later to finish his research into a super niche atmospheric dust phenomena and actually got it published. Still not sure if he was literally the only person in the world to care about it or if the entire science community just collectively decided to leave it alone because he always said he'd like to come back to that. I like to think it was the latter and for the last 40 years anytime some random grad student showed interest their professors were like, "Yeah, maybe you should pursue something more important." Knowing full well that was Brian May's thing. Also I think the nuclear dating is something to do with cesium 120 iirc. The cesium content is used in the art world to determine the authenticity of renaissance paintings when they allegedly pop up out of somebody's attic or basement.
Everything will thus forth be measured with 'DeVitos'. Dannys are too general, the man - the myth, the legend - deserves the recognition.
Thank you! As someone who worked in a lookout where i could see mt shasta, a view just miles away everyday... I love that my home is among the weirdest.
My grandfather was a mountain climber and summited Mt Shasta a few times. I asked my dad if he had any stories about weird shit around it and he had none. I'm pretty disappointed.
I live real close to this place it is so funny to see it get covered on this channel. Love it.
Story Time with Simon... ? hell yeah! 😂 New channel BOOM
“You’re just criticizing my lake of science and evidence cause your insecure” almost perfectly sums up most modern conspiracy theorists on the internet
That Devito clip 😂. Bravo editor, bravo !
last time i drove past Mt Shasta it was spectacular!
it was sunset and the entire mountain was pink and orange! so beautiful!
🌸🙏🌸
I was just in the area over this past summer, and I was floored by Mount Shasta. It was stunning, and looked like a painting. I've never seen in person a mountain that tall before.
