“Ancient civilizations were terrified of the eclipse. Why? Nothing bad ever happened during an eclipse”
Good question Greg, I wonder if it’s because THE SUN THAT KEEPS THEM ALIVE AND GROWS THEIR CROPS just turned off and they have no idea why or if it’s ever going to turn back on
"Pfft, that's not where food comes from. Everyone knows food comes from the store."
If you get the chance to experience an eclipse in person they are definitely something different
@@YttriumWolf oh yeah, they are definitely a little spooky in the bones. I can only imagine the psychological reaction less knowledgeable groups had to the giant ball of light in the sky, that behaves like clockwork for the most part, rapidly and seemingly without warning going dark in the middle of the day.
Like obviously early agricultural civilizations would have had pretty decent understandings of the seasons and the movement of the sun and stars, but eclipses are relatively rare events.
@@FrozEnbyWolf150 This is only half true, the green man supplies all those stores with food, every night he slips and uses tigers and lions to restock all the shelves.
@@Nico_Sno if you'd like a case study and how people react in a situation when they don't understand eclipses, look no further than Christopher Columbus's account of when he used his knowledge of eclipse charts to bamboozle a tribe out of their winter provisions. He basically asked them to give him and his men enough to travel, the tribe elders said no, we only make enough to survive the winter. Columbus then essentially said if you don't give us what we need Our God, which is more powerful than your God, will turn the moon blood red. He then proceeded to give an exact prediction of the eclipse. Needless to say, his men got the provisions they needed. It is probable that many people in that tribe starved that winter.
The nose man is clearly the lost nose of the sphinx and vacuum is clearly the answer to the riddle of the sphinx 😂
Greg has self-suggested his way into believing he is a literal doomsday prophet
I have been telling you guys for the last few videos this goes hard off the rails through several hospital cancer wards. This video isn't the end, mark my words, there will soon come a video where you will not even recognize who Greg is anymore..
He has self suggested his way in to way worse than that. You haven't seen the worst of it yet.
@@ninjalokust I already don't, I remember when he wore that helmet and was, well kind of logical. Now, he reminds me of someone that would be on Alex Jones
@@Nobody_Fn_Important don't ask me to find which one it was because I couldn't sit through 20 hours of podcast hoping to find the right one but he began doing a "phone in" style podcast format for a while. He commented on them that he always loved Art Bell on coast to coast and listened intently to them because Art would most of his callers at their word no matter how crazy their story was, but maintained some semblance of sanity by questioning the most insane and incoherent callers and dismissing them. He said he wanted to emulate Art Bell and asked his viewers to record themselves telling their own stories and then send them to him so he could listen to them and then make comments afterwards.
He was the most high it was possible to be during those episodes if my memory serves and told some of his own stories about ghost hunts he went on and his girlfriend of the time (an Australian woman not shoe, but just as doomed a relationship) had a UFO story of her own. He would continually bring things back to biblical experiences which upset her I think as they were both sceptical towards the others experience, him towards aliens and her towards religion.
But after THAT breakup is when he began going full messiah mode and released a video undermining his entire skeptic career. Going back into his extremely old videos and implying he was always trying to redpill atheists into believing in religion by sowing subliminal messages using the green man messiah imagery. This is what I mean, you guys think you know who Greg is, but what you know is who he pretended to be, the helmet era was a total deception according to him.
@@ninjalokust this just sounds like the prototypical excuse from someone caught being either a hypocrite or just plain insincere, "ooh yeah I was like this all along, I was just playing a part, yeah that's it, a part and you were guinea pigs to an experiment I was performing... that's it" what a doofus.
He is definately wearing that green flannel because he believes he is the green man. It gets obvious later on he believes he is some christ like figure. He feels clever.
This is turning into a really fascinating character study.
I stopped watching when he started this. At the time I thought it was some kinda joke, jabbing at crazy conspiracists by emulating them. I wasn't interested in watching it so I never knew he'd kept at it.
You're laughing. The Green Man is coming and you're laughing.
The green man is cumin. He is in the spice cabinet.
Watching this series from Greg honestly just feels like if a kindergartener ran up to me and went “You know what would be really cool!? If (favorite cartoon character) teamed up with (favorite super hero) and then they went to outerspace and they met (villain from most recent Disney movie) except he could shoot electricity from his hands! And he wasn’t a bad guy this time he was actually one of the good guys the whole time obviously! Oh and (Minecraft streamer) was also there, but what if then it turned out he was actually Santa clause 🫢”
“Yeah… so anyways, my dog is going to die eventually”
I thought the 666 thing was pretty well accepted as a reference to Nero, which is also why sometimes it's 616, because there's a couple different ways to spell his name
AFAIK this is pretty accepted, yes; the fact Greg doesn’t even mention 616 shows the depth of his thinking on this issues
one thing I love is that the crazier Greg gets, the more he looks, acts, and moves like a magician, to the point that it makes me want to watch Arrested Development
This series is fascinating. I never knew the depths of narcissism and delusion.
Those are some harsh words. What have I missed? Jake said something about Greg getting mad at him? So far I've been trying to give Greg the benefit of the doubt. Should I stop that?
@@Pensive_Scarlet he thinks he is so smart that he knows things no one else does while doing no research.
@@Pensive_Scarlet *spoiler* do not read if you would rather experience this as it happened when its covered soon
There will be a video soon that is all about Greg and how he is the messiah. You might take it as being a "joke" or tongue in cheek and you might be right but he begins to refer to imagery in his old skeptic videos to show he was always hinting at this self opinion. What these videos also dont show are the stuff happening around it, the podcasts where he talks about how he was scared of expressing his beliefs and how grateful he was to his audience, at the same time he would pull down his entire video series and post a comment saying "you don't deserve these" and then later bring them back after his fans fawned over him enough.
I was watching this as it happened and had to stop because I legit felt troubled about his mental state and creeped out by the cultish behaviour and manipulations. It was fun for a while when I thought he was actually doing parody of conspiracies but it became very apparent that wasn't the case and his disclaimers were there to convince the audience to stick around long enough so Greg could have the chance to make them a believer.
It has been 3 years of this, the benefit of the doubt has long since ended.
Trust me when I tell you that we have not yet seen the end of his narcissism or how deep his delusions go. This gets worse.
@@ninjalokust wow, that is so deranged of him!
This is better than History Channel at 3am.
He...he does know that Cthulhu is just a fictional character made by a dude, right? HP Lovecraft wasn't born that long ago. We have his own words and body of work to reference when talking about the symbology and inspiration behind his works. We don't have to guess or make connections here.
Apparently, even back then a guy thought Lovecraftian monsters were real and even wrote to him to that effect.
I am from Australia and I can tell you from what I know about indigenous art. The circle represents a meeting spot or water I believe and the "U" shapes represent people sitting at that spot
Indigenous Australian mythology and art don’t get a lot of representation, and that sucks because they’ve got some fascinating stories.
'Characters like Plato would present history in a fictional manner'...
Dear gods man. He CRITICIZED that way of telling history.
I think he confused Plato with Aesop
let me guess: the answer to the riddle of the sphinx is "the green man"
I'm loving this series. Got me back into your content
9:03 okay maybe i'm writing this prematurely but im losing my mind at this. Greg is taking the Sphinx posing the riddle, IN TYPICAL RIDDLE FORMAT, in saying, "I walk on 4 legs etc." as meaning the SPHINX does all these things?! god i wish i was here for this stream because it's driving me crazy that Jake is missing this
I pose insane things, based on cobbled-together mythologies, and my avatar is a suit wearing a knight helmet. what am I?
@@LiarJudas666 A Cone Head?
Dark souls character
@@acheyawachtel9409 got it in one!
"Now I know all of this might sound crazy!"
Its not so much "crazy" as it is "wrong", Greg.
he says that but like I really don't think he does know how crazy he sounds
Dude just makes random assertions, provides absolutely no evidence, says "I think I've sufficiently proven blah blah blah"
do you think gerg jacks it to a recording of his own vocal fry?
*in vocal fry* yyeeeeaauuuussssss
he def has to edit with one hand
@@siah2930 trick question, he has a mechanical masturbator for the entire time
Ive been showing this series to my fellow history major friends (because i dont want to subject them to Greg's content directly without Jake's commentary) and it has been a blast loosing our minds together.
I used to get ashes as a kid. My mom never pushed any of the religion on me. But she would be anxious if i didnt get ashes. I would do it, get throat blessings, and even got confirmed because it made her happy. She always made clear i had a choice. I think her not having a choice got to her. The church is kinda fucked up like that.
I was hoping I could utilize my history degree to provide some fancy in-depth commentary to these videos. But all of this stuff is such nonsense that you can't say much beyond "No, that's wrong."
Where we are going, you wont need education to see.
When I have nightmares I just tell the monsters that they don't exist and I insist on it until they dissapear.
My main question is how the Dayman and Nightman fit into this. Could Dayman be a form of the Greenman since he’s the Champion of the Sun?
I mean, the green man is also the best friend for everyone but I’m not sure he is a master of karate
I HATE that put on voice he does with a passion and he confirmed it was fake for me when he repeated “plateau” to himself and reveled in how marvelous he sounded (to himself)
Greg is the Donnie Brasco of skeptics. He's in too deep. He can't remember if he's a cop or a gangster no more.
the wake behind a boat is pretty chaotic
So the way the earth's magnetic field works is that as it absorbs the energy from the solar wind it gets pushed back. It can't stretch back indefinitely so once too much stress is put on it it snaps back to the poles and that's what causes the aurora at the poles. I'm no astrophysicist or whatever but I'd bet that's what armored sceptic was freaking out about lol
yeah, his idea that a magnetic field is some static shape is completely wrong. magnetic fields wibble and wobble based on their generation (the earth's core is not a uniform sphere) and on their interaction with other magnetic fields - the sun's magnetic field is well known for being VERY complex and for snapping off whorls and loops (that's... what causes solar flares...) and those loops of energized particles mess with the earth's magnetic field.
I am an astrophysicist, and you got it right.
If one were to pan around his room with a camera they would notice that most of the room is actually a white and padded cell.
I used to have a reoccurring nightmare where the abominable snowman broke into my house and ate my family. Then when I was older I had the dream again after multiple years not having it, but instead of waking up after my family died, i went to the garage and got a chainsaw, cut the abominable snow man’s stomach open, and my family fell out whole. Haha
That is so METAL. I love it!
Wasn't the armored sceptic an atheist?
This is Greg, The skeptic was a character Greg played who he developed. He has claimed (up to you whether its true) the character of the skeptic doesn't represent his beliefs or opinions either on religion or on politics and that he is far more left of centre politically and agnostic on religion. He doesn't think there are gods (at least...I mean maybe I dont know now that I write this) he thinks that they are stories meant to convey real events. That its all metaphors, jesus is the aurora of the planet, god is the sun, gods wife is the second sun. The constellations and planets being related as gods was just a way to tell a story of an event that ancient people didn't fully understand.
So he is trying to say the story is relating some kind of truth but there is no spiritual aspect, no supernatural god, just natural events that were related through supernatural metaphors, or something. It gets really muddy because I think he does personally have some spiritual beliefs he just doesn't believe in God or at least any religions version of God.
I wont speculate further because I haven't watched passed a certain point and its possible since then he literally started being a theist and I don't know it.
1 minute in and I know what to expect:
"The Venn diagram of what I'm talking about and what I believe is a circle. A *golden* circle. And you know what that means: THE GOLDEN CIRCLE IS THE GREEN MAN."
I feel like every time we watch these it's some kind of group trauma bonding experience, Jake
Im not sure i have the patience to do it, but i want to count how many times in this series he says "i think" with no evidence and then uses that to base a wild new theory
"A magnet is stationary, it doesn't produce these kinds of effects."
Even tiny magnets that you can buy do sometimes shift polarity. Not to mention, our core is molten and is constantly moving. The shifts in our electromagnetic field are completely normal.
Armored "Skeptic" might be the best content mine on your channel.
Wasn't Oedipus Rex that game on super Nintendo with the little T Rex riding the skateboard? I used to love playing that back in the day.
its Radical Rex hehe
He says this is "just for fun" but like why upload all this if he doesn't really believe it? It's not presented like a fictional story he's telling, it's presented like something he actually believes.
plausible deniability so he and his defenders can point to it as a deflection whilst at the same time there's other members of his audience who are like "We know what's REALLY goin on don't worry Greg" read his comments, as the series develops it gets more and more obvious how cultish his audience is and the "lol this is so obviously entertainment" kind of comments slowly develop more into some true believer shit.
also, apparently...he gets worse as the series goes on according to people who have seen ahead and I for one cannot wait to have my mind blown
This whole series is just Thunderbolts Project meets Ancient Apocalypse (I mean Graham Hancock's whole body of work since The Message of the Sphinx from 1996, not just the new Netflix "documentary"). Greg thinks he is a trailblazer, when none of this is new. Other cranks have already came up with these ideas many years before he first wrapped his head in tinfoil.
Great point about Thunderbolts Project. None of this really is new - I saw it years ago in fringe documentaries about the Electric Universe. Man, those videos have gravitas. The sheer lunacy on display is mesmerizing!
"... the famous eye [of Jupiter]? Is rapidly shrinking. No idea why." - Gee, I dunno, Greg. It might be because the last time I checked, the bigger question was how the hell has it been going on for as long as it has.
I can't handle the way he ends his words at the end of, like, EVERY SENTENCE! 🤣😭💀
It's very grating. He thinks he's so clever and profound
I'm glad I found your channel. I loved bible reloaded as a teen and I also loved armoured skeptic. I saw his post broken up with vids over COVID, and I've been hoping someone would call it out. Who would of known it would be another og of my childhood.
Oh lord, anyone familiar with the Planet X/Nibiru conspiracies sensed that reveal coming a mile off, the second he started talking about horned goddesses it was obvious where he was going.
Naw dude that beard thing he has going i noticed before too when i first found your channel from these episodes today and its been driving me nuts lol
I watched to the end and I am stunned, just, stunned, that Greg is not in a padded cell or seeking medication. he needs help, he needs serious, serious help. may Ra and Sett have mercy upon his soul. he does know that unlike the other gawds mentioned in his wackadoodle speech that Cthulhu, though fascinating and has a fan base, is a creation of a fiction writer right? right? oh please I hope he knows, please someone get him some help
It is pretty impressive how Greg was able to solve a thousand years of mystery and confusion without ever leaving his apartment.
In early manuscripts the number of the beast is actually 616. Using gematria, Neron Caesar transliterated from Greek into Hebrew short-form spelling, נרון קסר, produces the number 666. The Latin spelling of "Nero Caesar" transliterated into Ktiv haser Hebrew, נרו קסר, produces the number 616. Thus 666 is probally a coded reference to Nero, who was the Roman emperor from 55 to 68 AD.
🎶I am the Nose Man... coo coo ACHOO! 🎶
Cthuhlu isn't from mythology or religion! And it never claimed to be anything outside of Lovecarft's horror science fiction books. Does Greg think the Necronomicon is real? Good lord.
Could you imagine if MatPat or other fiction theory channels delivered their same ideas with the fucking SOLEMN GRAVITAS of high school theater student that Greg does for his “just for fun, none of this is real” conspiracy theories?
7:24 I am actually not sure from a quick look whether the sky turned red during the Carrington event. It's not a wild claim, as the sky has turned red before, including during another solar storm in the 1770s over eastern Asia. But I cannot find any pictures other than this one and the only mention of a red sky I can find is someone talking about a red eastern sky making the water look like blood in some part. The closest I've found is an idea that some of the auroras, which happened in places that typically don't see them, were red.
Then again, it was a quick search and doesn't actually cause a problem for his points. (There are plenty of those.) But he might have gotten a little overdramatic (might???).
I could not sit through all of these in his playlist, but watching it with Jake has become the highlight of my day.
I only saw like a bit into the very first stream before jumping way into this one, But its so weird to see a man so thoroughly convince himself that he alone has all the answers that no one else in modern day could possibly have come to understand it, and thay he alone has the answers of the universe - this is sounding more and more like the kind of thing you wait to tell new recruits to your cult or religion till youre sure theyve sunk so much faith, time and money into it that they cant leave
Moscow wasn't burned for "no reason", Russian troops just burned it down in order to not give enemy troops any food and anything to loot. They did the same with some villages when they retreated.
That was incredible. I like how he threw in the "Phantom time hypothesis" like it was an established fact just unknown to the lay people rather than a pretty easily debunked, eurocentric conspiracy.
It snowed ash for 2 years and people forgot the ground level? What? I think I'd notice if, by the next midterm election, the entire first floor of my apartment building was underground. They had buildings in 1812 as well, with doors that would presumably need to be moved if the entire first story was buried over a 2 year span. I think they might notice. This is the dumbest argument I've ever seen.
He's so confident in his delusion it's wild
The way Greg talks, it sounds to me like a drug psychosis. I've had my brush with it too. It's not fun, especially when you factor in social isolation. Fortunately I quit before it messed me up for good. However I have met other people who were way past that hill.
An hour and a half in and I've completely forgotten this was about the sphinx until he finally brought it up again.
11:23 when you have to constantly say "it's a bit", that's when you *reeeally* know it's a bit.
If the denisovans were so smart couldn’t they have just chiseled their knowledge into stone
I remember watching his Bigfoot videoa and i thi k that was him testing the waters
I don't know how Greg found out about this stuff, but I highly doubt he came up with any of it on his own. Apparently Andrew Collins' books "Gobekli Tepe: Genesis of the Gods: The Temple of the Watchers and the Discovery of Eden", "Denisovan Origins: Hybrid Humans, Göbekli Tepe, and the Genesis of the Giants of Ancient America", and "From the Ashes of Angels: The Forbidden Legacy of a Fallen Race" cover almost everything he mentions. Maybe he read those and took them seriously? I'm sadly curious how far down this crazy hole he goes.
ain't no planet X comin' cuz ain't no space cuz ain't not globe earth
This is the content I’m here for
seated and ready to hear more about the green man
4:10 Dude... Armored, my guy.... What do you think sand is made of?
Your aside to discuss your dream sealed for me that no matter the context, listening to someone describe their dreams is the dullest shit in existence.
It really is. Everyone is guilty of it. Shit is just never as exciting to other people as it was in your dream lol
Greg says I have no idea where I am right now, jokes on him I’m at home
9/11 out of nowhere on the Bingo card. Seriously Greg explain this in a way that it doesn’t sound like you’re constantly changing definitions to make all these “connections”. Also, quick question A.S., what’s your explanation for the Island people whose entire language consists of whistling or the existence of human languages that are physically impossible to learn if you don’t start learning them as a baby because we lose the ability to make the some of the phonemes unless we regularly use them from an early age?
lady liberty is a Mesopotamian goddess that got regifted to us
That's not too far off base lol
oh, yes, it all makes sense now - jake the corn is a green man who (using earths electromagnetic spectrum in the form of vacuum cleaner) defeated the nose man of the apocalypse
Some of the things he comes up with is fun but also just insane, but I guess to enjoy things as idea and play with it but at the same time is just so out there.
Anyone wanna tell Greg that Cthulu was invented by HP Lovecraft wasnt a deity of an ancient religion?
You get insanely quiet between 13:00 and 14:20 ish. Like i have no clue what you're saying and I listen to stuff LOUD. You're the quietest streamer i know lol
Your mom sounds like a gem btw.
yea, ive heard of the inserted time "hypothesis"
Holy shit, replace the nose man with Ronald McDonald, and I had that exact dream as a kid.
Someone. Please. For all that is holy in this world and the next, set the Nose Man story to a beat like William S Burroughs and Ministry.
o, he 100% is doing a wolverine beard spike
that earth magnetic field thing is the most infuriating thing he said so far. probably(definitely) because I'm a space nerd since I was a kid and know that is typical behavior of the magnetic field.
solar flares are incredibly irregular in intensity and when they happen and *yes* they do push the magnetic field out like this. stars do that with all planets that have a magnetic core. even with a star as steady as ours, of course the magnetic field would act like this.
compared to the magnetic field orbiting a flare star, this is a steady kind of magnetic field waving.
and just as a sidenote. there is potential that we're in a weak magnetic field phase, but same as how fast the earth rotates. which is currently on the slower end. these things change and shift like our north and south poles do(they even flip completely on a regular base)
sorry not sorry for nerding out like this, but I just had to. it's so easy to find any of this information as well
Make sure Greg never sees Discovery season 4. He'd probably integrate the DMA into his Green Man thing.
"In the next episode, let's see how we can go from the Green Man to spicy guacamole, by way of quantum physics and string theory."
13:52, I would bang my head on the pillow to keep the red skeletons that lived under my bed from pulling me down til I was like 8.
48:10, that pause and that face make me wanna PUNCH.
I imagine him talking to a mirror or monitor with himself.
Is this stupid intonation of the last word of a sentence the outcome of the great lobster debate? I'm so impressed. When voices weird you out, take a step back. Vibe check.
Yeah Ash Tuesday is Mardi Gras.
i love this greg series. its been fascinating
Does he not know that the core of the earth, which generates our magnetic field, is in fact molten and slowly cooling.
Science is a lie will be the next series
Armoured skeptic seemed more skeptical when vi listened as a fan sonlong ago
bro had one too many mushroom trips
20 bucks greg has a shaman hat
I do not imagine things and see them in my head😁😊😊
"The sun has a heartbeat" might be the most absurd statement in this series yet lmao
it would make for a cool novel title tho
Depends what he means by that. Literal heartbeat or he talking about solar cycles, that are actual thing.
It is better than Chocolate is an octave of sun energy but he is on his way there.
What happened to this guy being a reformed christian or something long ago and creating his channel because of that. Usually that would make you the most ardent atheist skeptic. Wild.
It's really cool how people will sit there and say stuff like "that doesn't make sense" when they don't understand science. Then turn around and talk about all these bizarre conspiracy theories about mythical creatures and science fiction magic like it's so OBVIOUS that they're true.
1:10:00 lol in 1908 there weren't even 1.6B people alive, compared to almost 7B in 2010 + massively larger and denser populated cities in earthquake-prone areas, like Jakarta which has 34M people. A jump from 78k deaths to 390k is pretty easy to explain without evoking some almost-supernatural "there's something pulling the planet apart" crap. Not to mention he cherry-picked 2010 as most of the deaths that year happened during one event that impact Port-au-Prince, Haiti. An incredibly impoverished city of 2.1m (in 2010) with the worst infrastructure possible to deal with earthquake and tsunami events. Go look up pics and you'll know what I mean.
A 5-second google search was able to show that earthquake activity has not been increasing. I picked that specifically to use as an example of how easily debunkable everything Greg says is. It's sad. Your vids on him have been entertaining though, ha
So many knight based things are going wild
The okd saying the mind of a mad man is a deadly thing
I studied early Christian history and Revelations is most likely about Christion prosecution written in 95 CE the Dragon is Rome and its about Nero as the beast and a metaphor to communicate
to stay strong
So, just to summarize, I will now present all of the evidence that Greg has produced for this theory of his.
Thank you.
