00:00Alex built a time travel machine and decided to present it in the show Shark Tank.
00:06To prove that his invention was legitimate, the investors challenged him to bring back vestiges from different eras.
00:12Now, he needs your help to impress his untreatable financiers.
00:17He enters the machine and…
00:19Pouf! Alex finds himself in the middle of a dense forest.
00:22He hears a powerful rustling that gives him chills in the back.
00:26Curious, he approaches discreetly and sees two gigantic dinosaurs accompanied by a small one.
00:34Who does this baby dino belong to?
00:45It belongs to the dinosaurs on the right, because both have red stripes on their backs.
00:51But Alex has no intention of staying to discover the rest.
00:55And he immediately takes his legs to his neck.
00:59Second stop, Ancient Egypt.
01:02Alex is now lost in the dusty hallways of a pyramid.
01:06Then, a ghostly silhouette appears.
01:09It is the spirit of an ancient pharaoh.
01:11And he is not there to make friends.
01:14The pharaoh declares,
01:15To escape this pyramid, you will have to listen to me carefully.
01:19If you face the rising sun, walk towards the shadows.
01:24If you hear the whispers of the ancients, turn left.
01:28But if you feel the freshness of the stone, go straight.
01:32Alex thinks for a moment, thinking about what to do.
01:35What should he do to find the exit?
01:45The right answer is option A, walk towards the shadows.
01:49Look, Alex has a compass, and knows that he must face east,
01:53where the sun rises and projects shadows to the west.
01:57Walking west will lead him safely out of the pyramid, thus avoiding traps.
02:03After leaving the pyramid,
02:05he enters a huge library filled with many rolls of papyrus.
02:09He grabs one as a souvenir.
02:11But then he realizes that he must get out of here very quickly.
02:15Why does he decide to escape?
02:19Why does he decide to escape?
02:21Why does he decide to escape?
02:23Why does he decide to escape?
02:25A huge library in Egypt.
02:27Wait, we're talking about Alexandria's library.
02:31The one that is sadly famous for having burned.
02:34If you look around, you can already see a small flame spreading.
02:38And since Alex knows the end of this story,
02:41he decides to escape as soon as possible.
02:44Great, Alex has recovered his Egyptian relic.
02:48His next step is a fascinating kingdom of medieval times.
02:52Alex falls on an old sword trapped in a rock,
02:55and something is engraved on it.
02:58I am not alive, but I can grow.
03:01I do not breathe, but I can faint.
03:04What am I?
03:05Can you help him find the answer?
03:08What am I?
03:10Can you help him find the answer?
03:12What am I?
03:14Can you help him find the answer?
03:16The answer is fire.
03:18After pronouncing it aloud,
03:20Alex manages to pull the sword from the stone
03:22and takes it with him on his journey.
03:25Alex dies of hunger.
03:27So, before regaining his time-traveling machine,
03:30he stops in an animated medieval market
03:32where a merchant sells fish to the crier.
03:35The prices are 2 pieces for a small fish,
03:383 pieces for a medium fish
03:40and 5 pieces for a large fish.
03:42He only has 10 pieces.
03:44If he wants to buy 2 small fish,
03:46how many medium fish can he still buy?
03:58After buying 2 small fish,
04:00he will have spent 4 pieces,
04:02which leaves him 6.
04:04Thus, Alex can still buy
04:062 medium-sized fish.
04:08It is time to return to the time-traveling machine.
04:11Now, Alex finds himself
04:13in a sumptuous Renaissance court,
04:15where the king faces a challenge.
04:17Two young women claim to be
04:19a long-lost princess.
04:21To determine who is the real heir,
04:24he designs a royal label test.
04:27Each woman receives a beautiful dress
04:29for a grand banquet.
04:31As they enter the room,
04:33the king watches them closely.
04:35One woman walks with the braid
04:37of her dress behind her,
04:39while the other catches her
04:41elegantly on her arm.
04:43Which woman is the real princess?
04:54It is the woman who has raised
04:56her braid on her arm.
04:58A real princess would raise
05:00the braid of her dress
05:02and spread her grace and elegance.
05:05The king is so impressed
05:07by Alex's perspicacity
05:09that he would like to offer him
05:11a relic of the Renaissance
05:13to take with him.
05:15But first, he wants to test
05:17his knowledge on this period.
05:19The king designates the famous
05:21Mona Lisa and asks.
05:23Who painted it?
05:25Donatello, Leonardo da Vinci
05:27or Michelangelo?
05:29Do you know?
05:33This portrait was painted
05:35by Leonardo da Vinci.
05:37Since Alex had already seen
05:39the Mona Lisa at the Louvre,
05:41it was an easy question for him.
05:43Once this mystery of the Renaissance
05:45has been resolved and another
05:47relic acquired, Alex returns
05:49to the time-travelling machine
05:51and heads for Ancient Rome.
05:53He arrives at an animated market
05:55full of philosophers, artisans
05:57and speakers.
05:59Suddenly, an old sage
06:01approaches and challenges him
06:03with an enigma.
06:05I speak without mouth
06:07and I hear without ears.
06:09I have no body,
06:11but I take life with the wind.
06:13What am I?
06:15Alex scratches his head.
06:17Can you help him find the answer?
06:27The answer is an echo.
06:29Impressed by Alex's wisdom,
06:31the philosopher gives him
06:33an old parchment
06:35as a souvenir of his trip.
06:37Everything seems to work for Alex,
06:39but he now lands
06:41in the Viking era.
06:43He is frigorified
06:45and must quickly
06:47enter a house.
06:49There are three cabins,
06:51each with a threatening
06:53Viking at the door.
06:55In which house
06:57should he go?
07:01He should clearly
07:03go to the third house.
07:05If you pay attention,
07:07the owners of houses 1 and 2
07:09have shields on them.
07:11This means that they are warriors
07:13and Alex certainly does not want
07:15to have problems with them.
07:17His next destination is Ancient China.
07:19Look, they are still
07:21building the Great Wall.
07:23So he decides to bring a brick
07:25to the investors.
07:27When he approaches,
07:29one of the workers intervenes
07:31and says that among this huge pile of bricks,
07:33only one would be worthy of the Great Wall.
07:35Can you guess which one?
07:45What are all these colored squares doing there?
07:47Look at the color of the Great Wall.
07:49The right brick is this one,
07:51with its earthy hue.
07:54Back in the time machine,
07:56Alex goes to the Maya.
07:58Suddenly,
08:00an old sage appears,
08:02blocking his way.
08:04He holds a mysterious stone calendar
08:06and explains that their solar calendar,
08:08called Hab,
08:10has 365 days.
08:12But they also have a shorter calendar,
08:14called Tzolk'in,
08:16mainly used for ceremonial purposes.
08:18If Alex guesses
08:20how many days the Tzolk'in calendar
08:22has,
08:24he will be able to take it with him.
08:26So, what is the right answer?
08:36If the Hab calendar has 365 days
08:38and the old man said
08:40that the Tzolk'in calendar
08:42was shorter,
08:44the only possible answer
08:46is option B.
08:48Hooray!
08:50After another leap in time,
08:52Alex finds himself
08:54in the Victorian era
08:56and in the middle of a plot.
08:58A rich aristocrat
09:00mysteriously disappeared from his manor.
09:02Four people were in the house
09:04that night.
09:06The butler, the maid,
09:08the gardener, and the Lord's niece.
09:10Each was in a different room
09:12when the authorities arrived.
09:14The butler said
09:16he was preparing the dining room.
09:18The maid said
09:20she was cleaning the living room windows.
09:22The gardener insisted
09:24that he was outside
09:26to maintain the garden.
09:28And the niece said
09:30she was reading in the library.
09:32Who's lying?
09:38It's the maid.
09:40Look closer at the windows.
09:42They are dirty
09:44and covered in dust.
09:46The maid lied
09:48about cleaning them.
09:50She could be involved
09:52in the disappearance
09:54of her employer.
09:56The time machine
09:58brings Alex back to 1896.
10:00He is in Greece
10:02where he attends
10:04the very first international
10:06Olympic Games.
10:08He notices a wall
10:10with illustrations
10:12of all the sports of the time.
10:14Wait!
10:16This illustration
10:18represents the breakdance
10:20that was introduced
10:22only at the 2024 Olympics.
10:24What is it doing here
10:26in the mid-19th century?
10:28Could it be that something
10:30is wrong with the time machine?
10:32Alex thinks it's better
10:34to go back to the present.
10:36And thanks to all these relics,
10:38he really impresses
10:40the investors of Shark Tank
10:42with treasures from all over history.
10:44It looks like his journey
10:46through time has paid off.
