They almost never fall down. The pyramid with the changing slope could colaps if the builders continued the steep angel, the Zikurats like Babel have faild (ok, zikurats are kinda different buildings).
I teach 8 year olds. Last week one of them came up to me and told me that “earth is flat and Antarctica is a wall”. I must have stared at him in abject horror, because he cracked up laughing and said “Got you!!” He then followed up with saying his sister found a video “proving” it on TikTok but “Miss, it’s so STUPID.” If the 8 year olds have the critical thinking skills…
See, i already know kids will watch those kinds of misleading videos the most but i know they are the least susceptible to misinformation. It’s the adults I’m worried about 😂 cause adults will build backyard 1 man rockets to prove the earth is flat. Then die when their parachute doesn’t work. These are what we know on shows as villains 🦹♂️ very worrisome cause the idiot’s rocket will crash on an innocent smarter bystander
The average iq has plummeted, its shocking how many adults have less than child level intelligence. modern society has been privileged enough to let these people not die to natural selection
My wife teaches special ed. kids that age; I'm consistently surprised at how bright and insightful they can be, as well as the silly thoughts they can have. XD
"Why aren't we building pyramids anymore?" Because pyramids are not actually space efficient and modern engineering allows us to build much more efficient rectangular buildings?
Why build pyramids when we literally have literal skyscrapers. Like we literally have the freaking Burj Khalifa 🤣!!! Like has bro never been to New York or literally ANY urban city with no parking lots and literally no space between building except for the extremely narrow alleys where the crackheads roam and little kids parents die and the little kids become Batman!! Why would you wanna take away Batman!!!
we also dont have god kings we build temples to, we bury our dead in wood caskets under dirt, out culture doesn’t have an emphasis on preserving the dead… we dont build pyramids unless its for an arena that will eventually be turned into bass pro shops. the temples we build are temples of consumerism, not to the king lol

16:09 I for one would absolutely die for a video about why the Mi'kmaq had a writing system when other's in the same area did not. That sounds like the sort of linguistics video I would watch constantly.
Maybe the Frenchguy introduced the concept, but the Mi’qmack developed their own writing system once they had the idea. That’s how the Cherokee ended up with one.
People like control. Democracy tells them they should be in control. So when the government doesn’t act according to what they expect then obviously the people don’t control the government so there must be a shadow government.

I've watched toddlers stack blocks and, through trial and error, they figure out eventually that a wider base and narrower top is the most stable way to stack blocks. Apparently, all the toddlers I know are either super-geniuses or aliens. I lean toward aliens.
Yeah, plus even cuptowers and cheerleader formations are in triangles/pyramids. It's just the easiest way to distribute weight when you want to build higher lol
@@lachlanmckinnie1406every block is tasted first that is how you know where to stack it. This is elementary stuff here: 1. Feel brick 2. Throw brick 3. Cry about thrown brick till it is given back 4. Bang against other brick 5. Taste brick 6. Place brick Repeat until pyramid happens.

As a Bosnian myself, I hate Semir Osmanagić and the Bosnian pyramids with a burning passion. Two main reasons: First of all, as you said, they take resources from actual archeological sights in the country. We had had people here since the dawn of humanity. Neolithic sites, romans, Illyrian, the very interesting medieval church of bosnia with the fascinating stećci, tomb stones that have been neglected. I am pissed off at this. But, what makes me really really mad is the degradation of Bosnian history. One of the biggest and shittiest speaking point during the war and now is that Bosnia doesn't exist or that it didn't and that's why it's ok to hate us and do ethnic cleansing (I'm simplifying a very complex narrative of a very complex country). And our response, instead of propping up centuries of real history and culture, has been to make up this idiotic idea? It's very easy for someone to say "well, bosnians made up piramids. They probably made up the genocide in Srebrenica in 1995 too." Bosnia is very much real and has been for centuries. We plan to stay here, thank you very much and you are all welcome to come and visit our real sites. How about a very beautiful bridge? How about those stećci I mentioned, I adore them? How about some Austro Hungarian architecture or medieval castles? We have so, so much and we don't need stupid fake priamids. Yes, go to the city of Visoko. They have amazing food, but don't go to see those stupid hills.
This frustrates me on your behalf. I often call this sort of thing the "get off my side" phenomenon. People share your side in an argument but do such a terrible job representing and supporting it that they do more harm than good. It makes you wish they were on the other side. They'd be doing more good for you there.
I once knew an ex British Sapa who was responsible for clearing mines over in Bosnia. He got called away to something else one day, the day he was meant to be defusing a mine. That day, his buddy stepped up and lost both his arms. Yeah bud, the Bosnian war was for real.
I love the amount of comments here citing the fact that toddlers, if given a set of blocks, will very quickly find out that the best way to stack them is the shape of a Pyramid.
“If you want to see the hollow earth video… [sigh] leave a comment.” Milo, of course we want to see you do a hollow earth video. We are an audience of sadists.
That was amazing. I once moved from Atlanta to NYC. While there I went to a game night where I met a guy who was from Atlanta. We started talking and it turns out that while in college, he dated my best friend from high school. Weird world.
An old construction worker in Michigan has been building Stonehenge in his backyard, by himself, with sticks ropes and rocks. He’s been filming it. I send it to people who think stacking big rocks is impossible without machinery.
Makes me wonder how he does the stacking. Cause I was thinking about one way to do it and it involves leaning one rock on another after laying the third rock on the ground, allowing it to be pulled into place as one coherent unit.
As an art historian I get MAD when people try to use ancient Egyptian art to justify giants etc bc it was a DESIGN CONCEPT. Hierarchical sizing denoted the importance of figures. Pharaohs were depicted as giant and servants,slaves, and lower positions were depicted as minuscule. It just feels like common sense!!!!
As another art historian, I literally groaned out loud in public watching that part, the “big people in art must mean giants” thing is fucking… so absurd. I was coming down here to make a comment about hierarchical sizing myself haha
Like, how else were they going to denote who’s most important in an obvious? Use the realistic foreshortening design skills they clearly didn’t have or use?
Thing is for us born after perspective in art, and photography, was invented. Hierarchical sizing doesn't register. I had to have it explained to me because we moderns just don't do it. We are trained from a very young age to take an image as more or less literal. We actually have to be taught later that some images aren't, and could never be, real. Later still we have to be taught critical thinking. Olde timey people had rigidly hierarchical social structures. So important person=big in an image makes sense. We're all raised with the myth of equality, and that we're smarter than olden timey dumb dumbs. So the idea that an image would mix an abstraction (which is too smart for olden timey dumb dumbs) like important person=big, everyone else=small means that person is literally big.
I'm a mere history teacher, but the sad thing is that 12 years old kids in my classes can easily deduce that the size means an important person, but alleged adults on the internet can't...

As someone who works as an architect the Pyramid bit has to be the absolute best/worst part of any of Milo's videos. Structurally the only way to build something that large is to do it in a pyramidal shape, even if it is out of wood. This is because it's not only dependent on the strength and weight of the building material, but also the strength of your fastenings. This doesn't even get into how little engineering is required to stack progressively smaller blocks concentrically. Just hand a bunch of progressively smaller blocks to a 3 year old and if they don't want to throw them, watch how long it takes for them to figure out the only way you can stack ALL the blocks is with the largest one at the bottom. Also, note the structural integrity of this 3-year-old's creation. Barring toddler kaiju attacks, it'll stand basically forever.
That’s honestly so funny because Harry Houdini HATED mediums and people who worked in that line of work, actively going out of his way to disprove as many mediums as he could 😂😂

So someone in a plane saw a massive hole and they flew their plane into the hole not knowing if they’d be able to land, turn around or if they’d just crash into a wall? Yeah, no.
Especially considering the fact that this was in 1912, planes were most definitely not able to climb as well as modern planes can. Looking at the holes they showed, you would have to be going at a near vertical angle to get out. There's no way anyone's flying in there, let alone him and his entire squad.
Also it looks pretty freakin dark in there. Like even if there was a futuristic civilization living in some sort of cave (a cave big enough to fly a plane all around), it’s have to be far enough down that the cave entrance would easily be dark enough to just crash into the ceiling or floor
The thing that makes me the saddest about the weird hollow earth stuff involving Admiral Byrd is that his actual expedition to Antarctica is super fascinating. His only communication with others was via Morse code, he got severe carbon monoxide poisoning, and at one point he even got locked out of his shelter! He was so dedicated to his mission that he continuously insisted that he was fine, even when on the brink of death. He only survived the experience because the other members of the mission noticed his messages becoming incomprehensible and went to rescue him. The real story is very exciting, especially since it entails some of the earliest data gathered about Antarctica, but many ignore it because it isn't magical enough for them.
I didn't know about this Admiral Byrd before this video, but the picture of his plane made my mind screech to a halt. That's a fokking Fokker. A pre WW2 plane & those controls in there are just "pre-historic" Seriously? They want to believe me that you could fly into a hole into the earth with that old thing? Look, the man's wikipage is a thing of beauty & they should make a film or even a series about his life, but it is simply so much more believable that he steered the wrong way or suffered poisoning/frost-bite/whatever & hallucinated some things or jutted them down wrong than that such a fragile piece of aviation history would be able to fly in the currents that would occur at such a site that these nuts claim exists. By the by, if a "lost diary" is published, it's by definition not lost anymore. Sincerely, a Dutchy that went to a local museum where old Fokkers were on display & who's read a tiny bit about navigation in planes during WW1 & WW2.
The father of the Atlantis myth was not Ignatius Donnelly. It was Charles Étienne Brasseur de Bourbourg who first mentioned it. But that wouldn't tie so neatly in the white conspiracy narrative because he wasn't one of those guys wouldn't it Milo? And if you wanted to be super precise the first mention of Mayan and Egyptian culture being connected goes back to Augustus Le Plongeon. Also not a white supremacist but he actually believed that Mayans were the ones who repopulated earth after the great flood. So two people who aren't connected to anything racist. But lots of archeologists LOVE to portray everything connected to Atlantis as racist hogwash.
@funnyteacherman That last part always gets me when I'm bewildered by all this conspiratorial BS. A handful of dudes in a goddamn boat sailing for months on end to explore a frozen wasteland in one of the most remote places on Earth *isn't magical enough*.

@@lordbalthosadinferni4384 It's the same kind of conspiracy BS that says that NASA stopped visiting the moon because they found aliens there, or pyramids, or whatever. Instead of the fact that the US had already beat the Soviets there, and the fact that we were sending men and their 15-ton balls of solid brass 240,000 miles with nothing but a rocket and slide rules, and couldn't think of anything for them to do that machines couldn't do better.
i propose we start our OWN conspiracy about antarctica by just vaguely talking about the plot of The Thing (1982) near these people. This would accomplish nothing except getting people to watch The Thing (1982) which would make me happy
We’ll be like: “did y’hear about those twelve people that went missing in the Antarctic? Yeah, it happened in like, 1982. Some people say they were killed by some.. Thing, out there in the ice…”
As a math teacher, the second that Filip said "the three hills connect to make a perfect triangle," I had to pause the video because... uh, yeah? Any three points will make a triangle if you connect them, that's literally what a triangle is.
@@kuroi1995 I guess if “perfect” holds its geometric definition of equiangular and equilateral, then we’re limited to an equilateral triangle. …Which I doubt the hilltops form to any reasonable precision, if at all. And I even more doubt that it’s what he meant by “perfect” as that word is part of his standard language of misrepresenting things that aren’t close to exact, to make the viewer think he’s on to something “they won’t tell us”
@@Michael-kp4bd Yeah, I assumed that was probobly what he was trying to imply with perfect, but I'm not much inclined to be generous with assuming what he was "trying" to say. And also... if these are just 3 random hilltops out of many in the area (which also have no archeological significance) that just so happen to be close to the same distance from each other then it's just the "finding random numbers that are the same" argument that Milo references in the next video.
As an astronomy grad student-- your comment about how we need to move away from reserving terms like "astronomer" and "archaeologist" for those in academia is so spot on! "Amateur" astronomers do so much for the field and have pushed our understanding of the local galaxy forward immensely. The term "amateur" applies only in the sense of doing something for the love of it, rather than being paid-- not as a descriptor of knowledge level.
As someone of Mi'kmaq descent, the idea that my ancestral language is somehow "connected" to ancient Egyptian would be laughable if it were not so culturally dismissive.
Yeah i feel the same way lol, especially since all its going off of is how we both drew pictures 💀💀💀 the spoken language have little to no similarities
Seriously, why do these theories always have to connect back to ancient Egypt? (Unless it actually is something Egyptian, then in those cases it was aliens.) A video like Milo suggested sounds WAY more interesting - one exploring possible reasons why the Mi’kmaq created a written language while many other indigenous groups did not.
The fact that a con man is making soo much money off of a lie while an actual museum is struggling to make repairs due to lack of funds is truly the most disappointing thing I have heard all day. This shit makes me soo fucking sad and mad.

great video so far! Just a comment as an artist who's had their work scraped by generative AI: You can't copyright claim/DMCA AI generated images. They were not created by you. They were created by generative AI that took copyrighted material and spat it back out. This has been upheld in courts of law. I know it's a hot topic, and generative ai is like such a point of argument, but honest to god... it makes me so upset the kind of pretentiousness "AI Artists" have when it comes to this stuff. There's no "creation". There's a difference between using generative AI to just make an image that looks real and someone who actually takes the time and energy to learn how to do that as a craft (see: The Oldest View youtube series for just one example... live action footage combined with blender 3D modeling to make a horror series). At the end of the day, using AI to generate images like that effortlessly and not expecting them to get picked up and used by conspiracy theorists is extremely unethical in a lot of ways. Also. DMCA can't be used for AI generated images!!! IT has to be made by a person! This is actually why someone who is an artist that *creates* art that may be used by conspiracy theorists could *actually* copyright claim that content to keep it from doing further harm. Randomly generating images based on typing a few words isn't art. I genuinely believe this as a disabled artist. It's built off the stolen work of artists, and should not be used.
The Byrd theory is so funny to me, because it involves a pilot in a fucking 1920s biplane deciding to randomly fly into an unexplored cave. *No* pilot would ever do this, unless he was deeply suicidal. What if the cave didn't have an exit on the other side? Even if it did, you're probably going to clip the wing against one of the walls and crash.
So you’re telling me some people believe a pilot saw a giant hole in Antarctica and decided to just fly into it without any concerns of a possibly dead end?
@@alchemicmercury there’s a difference between idiotic and brave, but also it would be very difficult to explain as a military pilot why you crashed an expensive aircraft into a hole in the ground.
Art Historian here, giant people within ancient artwork is called hierarchal scale and is used to indicate the importance of the subject not the actual height of the person. This is basic art history information and is regularly taught within introductory art history survey courses. The best examples of this include the palette of Narmer from Egypt and basically any portrait of Jesus from the medieval period.
that would make sense! kinda like current sayings such as “a giant of a person” or “a corporate giant,” it’s kinda cool when english has terms for this as well. we’re not all that different
@@olivercharles2930bro really looked at a reasonable statement that some cultures would put important people in art of a larger scale to indicate said importance and just said “nuh uh”
When I studied archaeology at the KU Leuven, now over a decade ago, I attended a guest lecture or something from a former student who had actually worked as an intern at this Bosnian pyramid site. I don't remember his name, or even what exact year this lecture was or when he worked at the site, as I said, this was a while ago. He said that the project focuses solely on finding proof of this supposed pyramid, and anything in the way of that goal is ignored, destroyed, and discarded entirely. Like, actual archaeological sites and artefacts are just ripped through to get to the pyramid stuff. Anything found from much later periods than when this pyramid was allegedly built is thrown away and seen as useless. He said it was just a horrible experience watching all this. At some point the people leading the project even wanted him to sign a non-disclosure agreement, which he refused, and of which he said "If anyone ever does that when you're excavating at a site, red fucking flag." I don't recall if he was kicked out after his refusal to sign the NDA, or if it was easier for the project to just let him finish his internship to minimize any external scrutiny. Basically, the whole Bosnian pyramid thing is just an absolutely fucking shit show.
That’s honestly really sad at the very least they could go the way of saying that people worshiped the “pyramid”after it’s collapse and use the artifacts as (bs) proof of that for tourists
And on top of all that, it's textbook pseudoscience by definition. Starting with your conclusion and adjusting your evidence to suit it is the EXACT opposite of how science works.
You forgot that the bad archeologists are the "mainstream" archeologists. You know, those who have degrees, decades of research and facts to back them up and thus reached a consensus. Not like the cool "archeologists" who look at AI art and have open minds about giant sloth skelettons being giant humans.
The thing that infuriates me about the Bosnian "pyramid" as a Bosnian is the fact that the excavations of the "pyramid" which does not exist is ruining the actual Roman and medieval Bosnian sites which are located on the top of the "pyramid". If Osmanagić actually cared about his own country's history, he would have promoted those sites, and not manufacture a pseudo-scientific "finding" to gullible people for his own benefit.
Imagine if they used that funding to bring in serious archaeologists. The foundation can have their tourist trap, they could use this funding legitimately. "We found another artifact, and after studying and dating it, it was determined to be of Roman origin. It now has been donated to the national history museum along with a sizeable cash donation to preserve our history." They are so close to doing the right thing here, but instead, greed.
My thing with the hollow earth thing is, NO ONE not even an idiot would just fly their planes into a hole, that’s like guaranteed death, he’d land and repel.
The thing about pyramids is so funny to me because like we have 800 meter tall skyscrapers and earthquake proof buildings and people are like "we can't even stack big rocks together now, how did Egyptians do it?"
Isn't it interesting how many archaeological conspiracy theories boil down to "I don't know how to move big rock, therefore nobody else could know how move big rock. Big rock very big, move can't".
Also, we have internet, we have smartphones, we have super computers. All these things are so more unbelievably complex than big stone buildings, and we act like they're nothing
I mean our skyscrapers are often unstable, but that’s due to hubris, space saving measures, and architectural nonsense. The pyramid is the ideal shape for stability, and it’s obviously so.
This is exactly why it is so important everyone be forced to learn about cognitive fallacies. Falling prey to confirmation bias or personal incredulity does more damage than ANY amount of education could counter.
After hearing him say it in this video a dozen times in a row, i began to hear it as a type of slur or curse word that someone would say in olden times or something. Akin to whippersnapper. I also dont even hear it as if it is the words google debunker, i hear it like googledy bunker. Lmao
Fun fact: The Bass Pro Shop is only the 8th largest pyramid in the world, with a Casino in Las Vegas actually being the 2nd largest, both of which were built with modern tech easily
I'm not sure what OPs point is. We used power tools, engines, and steel, that's nothing compared to Great the pyramids of Giza. When those pyramids are falling apart the great pyramids will still stand out living them. To be clear I'm not a proponent of the "ancient advanced technology" hypothesis. But I am saying that it's apples to oranges. They only share the fact they are the same shape. That is literally the only thing in common. What the ancient people did is so amazing and awe inspiring without having to evoke ANY fringe fantasy ideas. But to compare a modern imitation to the real thing done 4 thousand years ago (even if you are being humorous about it) is just silly. We COULD build what they did 4 thousand years ago with our modern tools but it would not be easy.
@@jackelewish1568 I think their point is that a lot of these people who believe in ancient aliens and such like to say "we have no clue how these ancient people built the pyramids, and we still can't figure them out" but we do know how they did it with hand tools and raw man power, and we can also do it with modern tech. at least I think that's the point they're trying to make!
one thing i'm gonna mention here, i hate how Filip called Hinduism 'Indian Mythology'. He said 'In Indian Mythology there are the Vedas'. I'm Hindu, that just felt... euUGhh.
“Why did all these different cultures build pyramids?” Because it is in fact in our nature. Children naturally learn to stack blocks and build pyramids when they’re toddlers. It’s a childhood milestone.
I mean, I don’t think it’s even necessarily “in our nature.” I think it’s just a result of learning. You stack blocks up vertically, eventually they fall down. Whether it be because you stacked them too high, or the ground shook a bit, or the wind hit them too hard, they fall. But pyramids don’t, they’re the most stable way to build something.
Plus A bit of survivorship bias I'm sure cultures built lots of different shapes. But a Pyramid is pretty strong and efficient, so they don't collapse after a thousand years without maintenance
Scientific literacy is very important but I do really like to believe it’s human nature because I just find that funny. Same with our insatiable desire to dig holes. Idk what is up with it but stacking things and digging things is such a primal instinct there’s gotta be something deeper going on.
Right lmao, I'm a fantasy writer and I actually made giants a "mythological creature" in the universe. They appeared in a few different cultures that my characters interact with, so one of them asked, "Why are legends of giants so prevalent?" to which another character promptly responded "There exist humans with wings, fur, horns or tails. So why wouldn't there be giant humans?"
27:12 that is actually INCREDIBLY funny that while looking for sources you ended up being led to family. If it were in a fiction novel, people would probably say it was bad writing
One of the silliest arguments I’ve seen among multiple groups of conspiracy theorists is “I’m right because you’re trying to debunk me/ If I was wrong, you wouldn’t need to debunk me”. It’s a complete non sequitur and leads to some absolutely absurd implications, namely that they’re trying to create a situation where they cannot possibly be wrong.
Well yeah, if you just leave you don't have an argument so he's right, and if you argue he's right as well you just don't want to agree with the "truth"™.
Well you can use the same argument on Conspiracy theorists as well, he is also doing the same thing, sort of trying to debunk something scientifically proven, even though he is wrong.
It's like a hack to human consciousness they (as well as right wing propagandists) have figured out: if your answer to someone's statement explaining why the statement is wrong is longer than the statement itself (and in those cases it will be significantly longer), you will sound like you're desperately making excuses.
But he's trying to debunk your debunk of his bunk, which would make you right. Unless you debunk his debunk of your debunk of his bunk. But then he'd have to debunk your debunk of his debunk of.....🤯
A good analogy for ancient technology is the difference between a couple pieces of flint and a lighter. Just because a lighter is far easier to use, that doesn't mean a couple pieces of flint can't do the job just fine. It may be harder, it may be slower, but it works. And when the lighter hasn't been invented you tend to get really good at using the flint.
When I was little, all the kids in my neighborhood were convinced the abandoned house at the end of the block had been the site of a murder, because why else would no one be living in it? Why else would no one cut the lawn and water the flowers? Why else would the paint be peeling off the walls? That's the same vibe I get off of these social media conspiracy theorists- a bunch of 8-year-olds creating a mystery and solving it at the same time.
I mean, depends how long that house went unsold and the relative condition and desirability of the neighbourhood but if it's the one run down house in an otherwise lively, safe and well kept area and has been for years, then something probably did happen there which discouraged the homes sale. I wouldn't consider environmental contamination if nothing else nearby is affected. I lived in an area with contaminated soil and they demolished the entire neighbourhood.
@@Thumper17 There are several other reasons why a house can't be sold than murder and most of them are just mundane shit like “ownership is unclear” or “the previous owner didn't properly take care of it so now no one wants it”.
@@Thumper17 The thing is, it wasn't for sale. The old man who had lived there died when I was a baby so none of the neighborhood kids remembered him.

No mystery, just neglect, but we kids were convinced there were bodies hidden there! 😅

Another thing about giants that gets me is that people can get tall. It's not hard to see how someone who was in reality 6'6" can be slowly exaggerated to be 7 feet, 8 feet, 10 feet tall over hundreds of years.
Crimony, one of his “giant skeleton” images still has a “Worth 1000” watermark on it. That was a website that ran Photoshop competitions about 20 years ago. Amazing that the conspiracy theories arising from its images have outlasted the website itself.
The fact that Beckley wrote two books ascribing psychic powers to Harry Houdini, who was famously so skeptical of the Spiritualism of his day that he even beefed with his bestie Sir Arthur Conan Doyle about it, is a level of dedication to the craft of bullshittery I can only imagine.

Drunk History's episode on this was hilarious. "The lady said...."Your mom is making a shape of the cross!"....Houdini's mother was Jewish." (Cut to Alfred Molina as Doyle) Doyle: 8D Houdini: =\
Houdini would regularly go to psychic medium shows so that he would be able to disprove them to everyone present, purely because of how he hated that they took advantage of people

Hyper diffusion is so frustrating to me because as a biologist we’ve been through this before. There’s a bunch of animals we thought MUST be related because they had similar traits, only for genetic sequencing to come along and prove that they actually aren’t related at all. They just all were in similar environments and evolved similar traits to deal with it. Its called convergent evolution and I guarantee you the idea of a pyramid did not occur to humankind only once.
Isn't it really weird that cultures all around the world developed the technology to make hats? What are the chances that every culture in the world had the same idea to put things on their head to keep the sun or rain off them. Clearly hyperdimensional aliens transmitted this information to them all in order to hide our scalps from the glory of god.
Hysterically genetic sequencing is also proving that all the hyper diffusion cultures aren't the same either. That or our advanced ancient race were all celibate.

Apparently, finger nails are partly made of A material found in TNT. However, I haven’t read the book I had read it from in A while, so I could possibly be mixing it up with something else without realising, so take this fact with A grain of salt… Actually… Why does, “Take With Grain Of Salt,” mean to be weary of misplaced information in the first place…?
@@kartorrent7496 I've never seen it explained, but growing up I always thought the saying 'take it with a grain of salt' was because a grain of salt is really small and adding only one grain to a meal won't change how it tastes, so saying "I think XYZ, but take it with a grain of salt," is like saying "I think XYZ, but (that opinion) means very little." (Usually due to a lack of knowledge\expertise). But, hey! Like I say- I've never looked it up so take that with a grain if salt lol
@@thetruthof8949 Your comment got me to do some research into the actual source, and it turns out this is a pretty deep rabbit hole. Or at least a needlessly convoluted one as there are many different claimed origins. The earliest usage of something like it seems to go back to Pliny the Elder in AD 77 where it's part of a recipe for an antidote to poison, with the inference that the salt was to make the difficult to swallow mixture taste better. In this case the "taken with a grain of salt" would be "this is difficult to consume, so have a little seasoning", turning into "This isn't going to sound/taste right, you'll need something to compensate for it." There's a related Italian phrase, apparently, where "salt" is used as a metaphor for "intelligence" in some idioms, so the "with a grain of salt" (derived from the latin origin) becomes "use at least a little intelligence while considering this information." This usage is even reflected (in the same general era, 1600s) in a book of fables it is lamented that a head might be "finely wrought, but without even a grain of salt in it." Based on other people's research checking old Latin dictionaries, the figurative use of salt for "good sense or wit" goes back to actual Latin usage, which suggests that the Italian version may have its roots in sayings that were developed in Latin first (though I couldn't find any of them directly cited), but the conglomerate of other people's studies I've glanced at seems to all indicate that the "grain of salt" in this phrase is "a little bit of reason/intellect" and is found in diverse languages because of shared cultural roots.

I teach 8 year olds. Last week one of them came up to me and told me that “earth is flat and Antarctica is a wall”. I must have stared at him in abject horror, because he cracked up laughing and said “Got you!!” He then followed up with saying his sister found a video “proving” it on TikTok but “Miss, it’s so STUPID.” If the 8 year olds have the critical thinking skills…
See, i already know kids will watch those kinds of misleading videos the most but i know they are the least susceptible to misinformation.

These are what we know on shows as villains 🦹♂️ very worrisome cause the idiot’s rocket will crash on an innocent smarter bystander

I've watched toddlers stack blocks and, through trial and error, they figure out eventually that a wider base and narrower top is the most stable way to stack blocks. Apparently, all the toddlers I know are either super-geniuses or aliens. I lean toward aliens.
Those sound like woke toddlers, any true real brave warrior patriot knows that toddlers should only be watching YT shorts unsupervised…
All toddlers are aliens. Though I'm curious that they can actually build pyramids without first eating the blocks.
But have you ever seen the Baby Geniuses movies though? About as believable and coherent as a lot of this alt history stuff too!

As a Bosnian myself, I hate Semir Osmanagić and the Bosnian pyramids with a burning passion.
Two main reasons:
First of all, as you said, they take resources from actual archeological sights in the country. We had had people here since the dawn of humanity. Neolithic sites, romans, Illyrian, the very interesting medieval church of bosnia with the fascinating stećci, tomb stones that have been neglected. I am pissed off at this.
But, what makes me really really mad is the degradation of Bosnian history.
One of the biggest and shittiest speaking point during the war and now is that Bosnia doesn't exist or that it didn't and that's why it's ok to hate us and do ethnic cleansing (I'm simplifying a very complex narrative of a very complex country).
And our response, instead of propping up centuries of real history and culture, has been to make up this idiotic idea?
It's very easy for someone to say "well, bosnians made up piramids. They probably made up the genocide in Srebrenica in 1995 too."
Bosnia is very much real and has been for centuries. We plan to stay here, thank you very much and you are all welcome to come and visit our real sites.
How about a very beautiful bridge? How about those stećci I mentioned, I adore them? How about some Austro Hungarian architecture or medieval castles?
We have so, so much and we don't need stupid fake priamids.
Yes, go to the city of Visoko. They have amazing food, but don't go to see those stupid hills.
This frustrates me on your behalf. I often call this sort of thing the "get off my side" phenomenon. People share your side in an argument but do such a terrible job representing and supporting it that they do more harm than good. It makes you wish they were on the other side. They'd be doing more good for you there.
There's also a lot of cool Roman ruins in Bosnia.
That stuff sounds awesome, il be looking that up thanks!
I once knew an ex British Sapa who was responsible for clearing mines over in Bosnia.
He got called away to something else one day, the day he was meant to be defusing a mine. That day, his buddy stepped up and lost both his arms.
Yeah bud, the Bosnian war was for real.
one of the most insidious things about genocide is how its culprits try to manipulate and twist history to legitimize their crimes

Theres a quote I think is apropos here.
“Keep an open mind. But not so open that your brain falls out.”
As an art historian I get MAD when people try to use ancient Egyptian art to justify giants etc bc it was a DESIGN CONCEPT. Hierarchical sizing denoted the importance of figures. Pharaohs were depicted as giant and servants,slaves, and lower positions were depicted as minuscule. It just feels like common sense!!!!
As another art historian, I literally groaned out loud in public watching that part, the “big people in art must mean giants” thing is fucking… so absurd. I was coming down here to make a comment about hierarchical sizing myself haha
especially because it’s seen all the time IN BASICALLY ALL ART OF EVERY CULTURE. like have you ever seen art before? 😭😭
Like, how else were they going to denote who’s most important in an obvious? Use the realistic foreshortening design skills they clearly didn’t have or use?
Thing is for us born after perspective in art, and photography, was invented. Hierarchical sizing doesn't register. I had to have it explained to me because we moderns just don't do it. We are trained from a very young age to take an image as more or less literal. We actually have to be taught later that some images aren't, and could never be, real. Later still we have to be taught critical thinking.
Olde timey people had rigidly hierarchical social structures. So important person=big in an image makes sense. We're all raised with the myth of equality, and that we're smarter than olden timey dumb dumbs. So the idea that an image would mix an abstraction (which is too smart for olden timey dumb dumbs) like important person=big, everyone else=small means that person is literally big.
I'm a mere history teacher, but the sad thing is that 12 years old kids in my classes can easily deduce that the size means an important person, but alleged adults on the internet can't...

I find strange when people ask "well why do so many places have pyramids?" Brother, they are triangles. It's not hard to understand.
They follow the same principles as a pile of dirt: narrow at the top, wide on the bottom. Filip really be looking at 2 piles of stones on different sides of the planet and thinking "But how could both of these civilizations know how to make a pile?!"
And so many also vary a lot in the details (pointy top, room at the top, rooms inside, size, mounds can be a similar shape/idea, etc)
"How can we make structures that won't fall down for long periods of time?"
Literally a man-made mountain.
Literally. My daughter is 5 and likes to stack the rocks in our yard into a pyramid, like it’s one of the first shapes people learn lmao
As someone who works as an architect the Pyramid bit has to be the absolute best/worst part of any of Milo's videos. Structurally the only way to build something that large is to do it in a pyramidal shape, even if it is out of wood. This is because it's not only dependent on the strength and weight of the building material, but also the strength of your fastenings. This doesn't even get into how little engineering is required to stack progressively smaller blocks concentrically. Just hand a bunch of progressively smaller blocks to a 3 year old and if they don't want to throw them, watch how long it takes for them to figure out the only way you can stack ALL the blocks is with the largest one at the bottom. Also, note the structural integrity of this 3-year-old's creation. Barring toddler kaiju attacks, it'll stand basically forever.
Exactly there's only so many ways you can stack stones so they don't fall over for a long time

Surprised that Milo didn't include this when he was talking about it. It's such a simple line of logic.
Especially considering the fact that this was in 1912, planes were most definitely not able to climb as well as modern planes can. Looking at the holes they showed, you would have to be going at a near vertical angle to get out. There's no way anyone's flying in there, let alone him and his entire squad.
Also it looks pretty freakin dark in there. Like even if there was a futuristic civilization living in some sort of cave (a cave big enough to fly a plane all around), it’s have to be far enough down that the cave entrance would easily be dark enough to just crash into the ceiling or floor

The thing that makes me the saddest about the weird hollow earth stuff involving Admiral Byrd is that his actual expedition to Antarctica is super fascinating. His only communication with others was via Morse code, he got severe carbon monoxide poisoning, and at one point he even got locked out of his shelter! He was so dedicated to his mission that he continuously insisted that he was fine, even when on the brink of death. He only survived the experience because the other members of the mission noticed his messages becoming incomprehensible and went to rescue him. The real story is very exciting, especially since it entails some of the earliest data gathered about Antarctica, but many ignore it because it isn't magical enough for them.

Also not a white supremacist but he actually believed that Mayans were the ones who repopulated earth after the great flood. So two people who aren't connected to anything racist.

Just a comment as an artist who's had their work scraped by generative AI:
You can't copyright claim/DMCA AI generated images. They were not created by you. They were created by generative AI that took copyrighted material and spat it back out. This has been upheld in courts of law.
I know it's a hot topic, and generative ai is like such a point of argument, but honest to god... it makes me so upset the kind of pretentiousness "AI Artists" have when it comes to this stuff. There's no "creation".
There's a difference between using generative AI to just make an image that looks real and someone who actually takes the time and energy to learn how to do that as a craft (see: The Oldest View youtube series for just one example... live action footage combined with blender 3D modeling to make a horror series).
At the end of the day, using AI to generate images like that effortlessly and not expecting them to get picked up and used by conspiracy theorists is extremely unethical in a lot of ways. Also. DMCA can't be used for AI generated images!!! IT has to be made by a person!
This is actually why someone who is an artist that *creates* art that may be used by conspiracy theorists could *actually* copyright claim that content to keep it from doing further harm.
Randomly generating images based on typing a few words isn't art. I genuinely believe this as a disabled artist. It's built off the stolen work of artists, and should not be used.
Really hate that this AIbro was inadvertently given a platform to peddle his misunderstandings and propaganda about AI.
The Byrd theory is so funny to me, because it involves a pilot in a fucking 1920s biplane deciding to randomly fly into an unexplored cave. *No* pilot would ever do this, unless he was deeply suicidal.

Art Historian here, giant people within ancient artwork is called hierarchal scale and is used to indicate the importance of the subject not the actual height of the person.

When I studied archaeology at the KU Leuven, now over a decade ago, I attended a guest lecture or something from a former student who had actually worked as an intern at this Bosnian pyramid site. I don't remember his name, or even what exact year this lecture was or when he worked at the site, as I said, this was a while ago. He said that the project focuses solely on finding proof of this supposed pyramid, and anything in the way of that goal is ignored, destroyed, and discarded entirely. Like, actual archaeological sites and artefacts are just ripped through to get to the pyramid stuff. Anything found from much later periods than when this pyramid was allegedly built is thrown away and seen as useless. He said it was just a horrible experience watching all this. At some point the people leading the project even wanted him to sign a non-disclosure agreement, which he refused, and of which he said "If anyone ever does that when you're excavating at a site, red fucking flag." I don't recall if he was kicked out after his refusal to sign the NDA, or if it was easier for the project to just let him finish his internship to minimize any external scrutiny. Basically, the whole Bosnian pyramid thing is just an absolutely fucking shit show.
That’s honestly really sad at the very least they could go the way of saying that people worshiped the “pyramid”after it’s collapse and use the artifacts as (bs) proof of that for tourists
And on top of all that, it's textbook pseudoscience by definition. Starting with your conclusion and adjusting your evidence to suit it is the EXACT opposite of how science works.
I love how he says "not to trust the archeologists" and then goes to quote and believe random or fake archeologists and trust them verbatim.
Mmm perfect irony
You forgot that the bad archeologists are the "mainstream" archeologists. You know, those who have degrees, decades of research and facts to back them up and thus reached a consensus. Not like the cool "archeologists" who look at AI art and have open minds about giant sloth skelettons being giant humans.
Perfect example of cherry picking
The thing that infuriates me about the Bosnian "pyramid" as a Bosnian is the fact that the excavations of the "pyramid" which does not exist is ruining the actual Roman and medieval Bosnian sites which are located on the top of the "pyramid". If Osmanagić actually cared about his own country's history, he would have promoted those sites, and not manufacture a pseudo-scientific "finding" to gullible people for his own benefit.
That's what happened during the expedition to find Troy. Tore through centuries of history to find the 'prize.'
Imagine if they used that funding to bring in serious archaeologists. The foundation can have their tourist trap, they could use this funding legitimately. "We found another artifact, and after studying and dating it, it was determined to be of Roman origin. It now has been donated to the national history museum along with a sizeable cash donation to preserve our history."
They are so close to doing the right thing here, but instead, greed.

The thing about pyramids is so funny to me because like we have 800 meter tall skyscrapers and earthquake proof buildings and people are like "we can't even stack big rocks together now, how did Egyptians do it?"
Isn't it interesting how many archaeological conspiracy theories boil down to "I don't know how to move big rock, therefore nobody else could know how move big rock. Big rock very big, move can't".
"I personally don't know how to build things, and I'm the smartest person I know. That means other people can't possibly have done it"
Also, we have internet, we have smartphones, we have super computers. All these things are so more unbelievably complex than big stone buildings, and we act like they're nothing
I mean our skyscrapers are often unstable, but that’s due to hubris, space saving measures, and architectural nonsense. The pyramid is the ideal shape for stability, and it’s obviously so.

I'm not sure what OPs point is. We used power tools, engines, and steel, that's nothing compared to Great the pyramids of Giza. When those pyramids are falling apart the great pyramids will still stand out living them.
To be clear I'm not a proponent of the "ancient advanced technology" hypothesis. But I am saying that it's apples to oranges. They only share the fact they are the same shape. That is literally the only thing in common. What the ancient people did is so amazing and awe inspiring without having to evoke ANY fringe fantasy ideas. But to compare a modern imitation to the real thing done 4 thousand years ago (even if you are being humorous about it) is just silly. We COULD build what they did 4 thousand years ago with our modern tools but it would not be easy.
Wait are we counting those?? Cuz I would been counting like Egypt or something 😂
@@jackelewish1568 I think their point is that a lot of these people who believe in ancient aliens and such like to say "we have no clue how these ancient people built the pyramids, and we still can't figure them out" but we do know how they did it with hand tools and raw man power, and we can also do it with modern tech. at least I think that's the point they're trying to make!
one thing i'm gonna mention here, i hate how Filip called Hinduism 'Indian Mythology'. He said 'In Indian Mythology there are the Vedas'. I'm Hindu, that just felt... euUGhh.
“Why did all these different cultures build pyramids?” Because it is in fact in our nature. Children naturally learn to stack blocks and build pyramids when they’re toddlers. It’s a childhood milestone.
I know, right? What do you do when you can't fulfill the manly urge to dig a hole? You start piling rocks on top of eachother
I mean, I don’t think it’s even necessarily “in our nature.” I think it’s just a result of learning. You stack blocks up vertically, eventually they fall down. Whether it be because you stacked them too high, or the ground shook a bit, or the wind hit them too hard, they fall. But pyramids don’t, they’re the most stable way to build something.
Plus
A bit of survivorship bias
I'm sure cultures built lots of different shapes.
But a Pyramid is pretty strong and efficient, so they don't collapse after a thousand years without maintenance
Yeah we've evolved in such a way that we can critically think about the best way to stack objects. It's not rocket appliances.
Scientific literacy is very important but I do really like to believe it’s human nature because I just find that funny. Same with our insatiable desire to dig holes. Idk what is up with it but stacking things and digging things is such a primal instinct there’s gotta be something deeper going on.

And if not could you add a pyramid, for milo?

The idea of all humans will eventually build a pyramid is endlessly hilarious to me.

honestly, Hollow Earth sounds like an awesome idea for a DnD campaign
Look up ixalan from mtg same company as dnd and its a great world for a dnd campaign
I’m doing that in a one off next time

In 2nd edition spelljammer you could roll a hollow cube planet
The old-school Mystara setting actually prominently featured a hollow earth
Hyper diffusion is so frustrating to me because as a biologist we’ve been through this before. There’s a bunch of animals we thought MUST be related because they had similar traits, only for genetic sequencing to come along and prove that they actually aren’t related at all. They just all were in similar environments and evolved similar traits to deal with it. Its called convergent evolution and I guarantee you the idea of a pyramid did not occur to humankind only once.
Isn't it really weird that cultures all around the world developed the technology to make hats?
What are the chances that every culture in the world had the same idea to put things on their head to keep the sun or rain off them.
Clearly hyperdimensional aliens transmitted this information to them all in order to hide our scalps from the glory of god.
Hysterically genetic sequencing is also proving that all the hyper diffusion cultures aren't the same either. That or our advanced ancient race were all celibate.
Like it is pretty dumb to think that a person out of millions in two societies with rock wouldn't come up with idea of a four sided triangle with square base

I have such a hatred for people like Filip, when my dad was dying he had dementia and started watching conspiracy content on RUclips
He started believing everything he saw, I had to spend hours trying to convince him that the things he was seeing weren’t real, it got to where he only believed what he saw not me and my books, because the books
It was so painful watching this man that was so smart, and such a history lover fall into the rabbit hole
a friend of mine has a dad who doesn't have dementia but is heavily affected by his aging mind and my friend constantly has to talk him out of truly fearing and believing in things like dog men and other mythical conspiratorial creatures
My grandma had alzeimers and believed there were people hunting her.
You have rember it's not them. It a shell. You grandpa was great man, he was just ill
@@bonkstrum9555 that's really sad for all the people with anti social disorders like schizophrenia too. One gang stalking video and all their delusions are "proven real". But at least those are usually made by other sick people. The audacity of someone like Filip to lie to them on purpose. Disgusting.
@@bonkstrum9555 I'm sure they know that, but it still is valid for them to hate this Filip guy for making this type of content that's preying, whether it's intentional or not, on people who are prone to having delusions and especially when it did the same thing to their father. You can know it's not the person but their illness but that doesn't change the fact that they are suffering and it hurts to see them like that, which I'm sure you also know since your grandmother had Alzheimer's too (I know that's related to dementia though I don't know how exactly)
My grandpa put something in his eyes, went straight to his brain and ate holes in it; killed him. The elderly are so susceptible to this crap 😢

The absolute casual-ness of “whoa did you see that? My finger caught on fire for a second” and then just blowing on the flame to extinguish it like a birthday cake candle got me hysterical
Apparently, finger nails are partly made of A material found in TNT. However, I haven’t read the book I had read it from in A while, so I could possibly be mixing it up with something else without realising, so take this fact with A grain of salt… Actually… Why does, “Take With Grain Of Salt,” mean to be weary of misplaced information in the first place…?
@@kartorrent7496 I've never seen it explained, but growing up I always thought the saying 'take it with a grain of salt' was because a grain of salt is really small and adding only one grain to a meal won't change how it tastes, so saying "I think XYZ, but take it with a grain of salt," is like saying "I think XYZ, but (that opinion) means very little." (Usually due to a lack of knowledge\expertise).
But, hey! Like I say- I've never looked it up so take that with a grain if salt lol
@@thetruthof8949 An interesting proposition
@@thetruthof8949 I like your explanation better than whatever the real one might be.
@@thetruthof8949 Your comment got me to do some research into the actual source, and it turns out this is a pretty deep rabbit hole. Or at least a needlessly convoluted one as there are many different claimed origins.
The earliest usage of something like it seems to go back to Pliny the Elder in AD 77 where it's part of a recipe for an antidote to poison, with the inference that the salt was to make the difficult to swallow mixture taste better. In this case the "taken with a grain of salt" would be "this is difficult to consume, so have a little seasoning", turning into "This isn't going to sound/taste right, you'll need something to compensate for it."
There's a related Italian phrase, apparently, where "salt" is used as a metaphor for "intelligence" in some idioms, so the "with a grain of salt" (derived from the latin origin) becomes "use at least a little intelligence while considering this information."
This usage is even reflected (in the same general era, 1600s) in a book of fables it is lamented that a head might be "finely wrought, but without even a grain of salt in it."
Based on other people's research checking old Latin dictionaries, the figurative use of salt for "good sense or wit" goes back to actual Latin usage, which suggests that the Italian version may have its roots in sayings that were developed in Latin first (though I couldn't find any of them directly cited), but the conglomerate of other people's studies I've glanced at seems to all indicate that the "grain of salt" in this phrase is "a little bit of reason/intellect" and is found in diverse languages because of shared cultural roots.
Filip sees a smooth rock: "Whoa there's no way that could be natural"
Filip sees a rock with faces and edges: "Who there's no way that could be natural"
sees a rock, "there's no way this naturally formed rock could be natural."
To quote the late great Terry Pratchett "The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it." and boy, does Filip love to put things in people's head
Only so long as that puts money in his pocket.
Ever hear the one about being so open-minded, when you lie down your brain rolls out?
I miss Pratchett.
And in other places!
So open that it falls out of their head lol

If you're anything like a game developer, well I'm not gonna say anything because it's not nice to insult people.

No it’s true though. I’m the opposite of tech smart. Which is bleak because I work in publishing…
The saddest thing about Filip is that it is a tale as old as time: a person who is willing to do and say ANYTHING for money, regardless of the reputational and ethical consequences. And they wonder why we don't trust people anymore...
Milo was a soft touch this video, tbh. It felt like he was giving the guy the benefit of the doubt and at least acted like Filip was a just a dumbass who believed his own content. No, it's obvious that he knows what he's doing and is actively taunting any viewers with two braincells to rub together.
@@msjsr9364 Sure, that's not a good thing to do overall, but if you consider how many people do much more questionable jobs invovling direct or indirect violence towards other people every day for far less money, it doesn't seem as significant. Still as bad, but not as horrible.
@@DangerSquiggles Although non-violent, repression of scientific thinking, by dumbing down the general audience, is more dangerous
@@skywindow6764 That assumes that the content zieba creates actively reduces the powers of perception and deduction of his audience, instead of exploiting preexisting deficiencies.
