00:00I feel sorry for his family, but they have to live with the truth of who he really, really is.
00:06Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're breaking down unsolved mysteries surrounding geography,
00:11world histories, and ancient civilizations that captured imaginations around the globe,
00:15until that lucky breakthrough.
00:16Actually, a lot of people thought, well, Fermat's last theorem, perhaps that's the last theorem,
00:20perhaps we finished mathematics.
00:23The death of King Richard III.
00:24It was here in the Midlands, on the battlefield at Bosworth, during the War of the Roses, that he fell.
00:32The hunched-back so-called villain king was cut down on the pointy end of his successor's sword.
00:38For centuries, Richard III's 1485 demise at Bosworth lived in the fog of legend.
00:44Modern archaeology and forensics cut through it.
00:47In 2012, excavators uncovered a skeleton beneath a Leicester car park on the former Greyfriars site.
00:52Subsequent DNA work matched living matrilineal relatives.
00:56Osteology confirmed adolescent-onset scoliosis, but a combat-capable frame.
01:00I am a 17th-generation nephew.
01:03So that's nephew 17 times removed?
01:06Yes, yeah.
01:07It was through his mother, Joyce, that the mitochondrial DNA link was found.
01:12There am I, with my brother and sister.
01:15Right.
01:15This is my mother, and this is the line all the way back to Annapurk.
01:20The key revelation? Cause of death.
01:22A formal trauma study catalogued at least 11 paramortem injuries, nine to the head, consistent with close-quarters melee after the king's helmet was lost or removed.
01:32Sharp force and penetrating cranial blows were fatal.
01:35Additional humiliation wounds to the pelvis occurred post-mortem.
01:38The historical haze of a singular, chivalric end gave way to a brutal, chaotic reality documented bone by bone.
01:45We haven't cured cancer. We have identified a king, but that's a really, you know, it has been a very interesting project to be a part of.
01:55Yes, yeah. A crown on your head.
01:58Oh no.
01:59The Sailing Stones.
02:00Geologist Richard Norris and his cousin Jim Norris say they have figured out what's behind the so-called Sailing Stones phenomenon of Death Valley that has puzzled scientists for decades.
02:10Death Valley's racetrack playa looked supernatural.
02:13Heavy rocks sailed across the flats, carving long trails with no witnesses.
02:17The reveal took instrumented stones, on-site weather stations, and time-lapse cameras.
02:22In winter 2013-14, researchers directly observed a rare choreography.
02:27Thin sheets of floating ice formed overnight atop shallow playa water.
02:31By late morning, light winds pushed the ice like slow bulldozers, nudging embedded rocks over slick, saturated mud at centimeters per second speeds.
02:40You have a beautiful sunny day.
02:42You have a frozen surface of the pond of this ice floating on a few inches of liquid water.
02:48And when ice breakup takes place, when the ice begins to melt just enough under the light breezes, that ice, big ice sheets drive the rocks in front of them and just plow them along the bottom of this shallow pond.
03:03Tracks formed without gales, magnets, or pranksters.
03:07Just water, freeze thaw, fragile ice panels, sun, and breeze.
03:11The phenomenon had eluded direct observation for decades because the right conditions are uncommon and short-lived.
03:17The mystery didn't break physics.
03:19It showcased its formidable power.
03:21Actually seeing the process explains so much, it's like the scales fall from your eyes.
03:26You begin to figure out all these phenomena.
03:28And now we can go out there and read that playa, you know, all these tracks and trails and so forth.
03:32It now makes sense.
03:34The Franklin Expedition.
03:35The ships sailed down to King William Island.
03:38There they got trapped in the ice.
03:40In April 1848, crew members abandoned the ships and set out on foot, heading south.
03:48None of them lived.
03:49Franklin's 1845 push for the Northwest Passage became a blank page of polar lore, until modern archaeology, Inuit knowledge, and forensics filled it in.
03:58Parks Canada located HMS Erebus in 2014 and confirmed HMS Terror in 2016, opening shipboard time capsules, medicine bottles, navigation gear, personal chests.
04:09Remains were discovered along the coast of the island.
04:12Some made it to the mainland.
04:14The remains at Erebus Bay would be a breakthrough.
04:17Stenton's team gathered samples from 27 crew members, then DNA tests from 17 modern descendants.
04:23They got one match.
04:25On land, skeletal analyses documented cut marks and bone processing consistent with end-stage survival cannibalism, aligning with long-dismissed Inuit testimony.
04:34Recent DNA work even identified Captain James Fitzjames from a single molar, reframing the expedition's final days.
04:41We have a positive DNA match, and I literally had to hold it onto my seat.
04:46You know, it was, it was surreal, it was, it was absolutely phenomenal.
04:52Lead exposure is now viewed as a piece of the puzzle, rather than definitive.
04:55Scurvy, exposure, disease, and starvation likely interacted fatally.
05:00The lost expedition isn't lost anymore.
05:02Its artifacts and bones tell a grim, tragically human story.
05:05Well, the latest expedition at a famous shipwreck site in Nunavut has produced new artifacts and thousands of images.
05:13Underwater archaeologists made 68 dives at the site of the ill-fated Franklin Expedition.
05:19The ship set sail from England in 1845, but became trapped in ice near Nunavut.
05:25The wow signal.
05:26Astronomers are always listening into outer space, so imagine you're listening closely for something as quiet as a pin to drop.
05:32Bam, you hear something as loud as books slamming on a table.
05:35That's what happened in 1977, and take a look at this.
05:39This is the actual, a copy of the actual notes that this astronomer made back then.
05:43You can see he circled the moment that the sound happened.
05:46Detected on August 15th, 1977, the narrowband wow signal remained SETI's most famous outlier.
05:53The secret many hoped for, alien contact, never got a replication, and so it never cleared basic confirmation thresholds.
05:59Over the years, natural explanations have been proposed.
06:02In 2016 to 2017, Antonio Paris argued that hydrogen clouds from comets near the field could account for the 1420 mHz spike.
06:10The claim drew strong critique on positional and physical grounds.
06:14This frequency, 1420 mHz, the hydrogen line, comes from when you've zapped hydrogen, you're giving it energy, and this is the frequency it screams at.
06:22More recently, researchers have floated variants of a natural astrophysical transient illuminating a cold hydrogen cloud.
06:29The upshot?
06:30No consensus smoking gun, but the balance of expert commentary now favors a natural origin over ET.
06:36Paris' theory explains the signal's disappearance, but not why it was broadcasting on such a cosmically significant wavelength.
06:46This is a very small frequency, and it's protected, so here on Earth, we cannot use that frequency.
06:52The humpback whale song mystery.
06:54So what we do is we use a directional hydrophone system, which has effectively two receivers that are spaced at four and a half times the spacing between our ears.
07:04And that allows us to kind of use those kind of amplitude differences that we would normally use in air to effectively resolve which direction the song is coming from.
07:14Why do humpbacks sing, and how do their songs change?
07:17The clearest pieces are now in.
07:19Only males sing.
07:20Song is tied to breeding grounds and functions as a sexually selected display, with evidence pointing toward male.
07:26Male signaling and mate competition, not lullabies to females.
07:29We're interested in the characteristics of a humpback whale song itself.
07:36The song is complex.
07:39It's hierarchically organized.
07:43So what you see here is the full cycle of the song, and each one of these little bright dots right here is representative of basically a song unit.
07:53The other revelation is cultural.
07:55Song types propagate across entire ocean basins via social learning.
07:58Sometimes undergoing rapid revolutions, like pop hits sweeping the charts.
08:03Animals tend to sing kind of canted, about anywhere from about 45 to 60 degrees down.
08:09Most often they're alone.
08:11Sometimes they're singing well in association with other whales.
08:16Long-term data sets show songs can move unidirectionally across the South Pacific, and evolve in complexity and themes year to year.
08:23There was no mysticism at play.
08:24It was culture, selection, and ecology intersecting.
08:27Complex, but not inscrutable.
08:29The humpback whale song is just in itself very beautiful, but when you get in the water with them, and you're right next to a singer, and you feel that the tips of your fins and your lungs vibrating as a result, it definitely leaves a very strong impression on you.
08:44Anastasia's fate.
08:45Immediately after the execution of the Romanov family, the leader of the Bolshevik secret police, Yakov Yurovsky, announces the death of Tsar Nicholas II.
08:56While transparent about Nicholas, the Bolsheviks are far more withholding about the fate of his family.
09:01The enduring rumor that Grand Duchess Anastasia survived the 1918 Romanov executions finally collapsed under DNA evidence.
09:09Bodies exhumed near Yekaterinburg in 1991 matched the Imperial family and several servants, but two children were missing, fueling imposter claims for decades.
09:18Most famously, Anna Anderson.
09:20On February 6th, 1928, Anderson arrives in New York City, claiming that she managed to escape her assassins.
09:28She states that she feigned her death by laying in the pile of her family's bodies, then convinced a guard, whom she befriended during captivity, to carry her and her younger brother to safety.
09:39In 2007, a nearby site yielded burned, fragmented remains of two people.
09:44A 2009 multi-lab DNA study matched those remains to the Romanov family and specifically accounted for the Tsarevich Alexei and one sister, extinguishing the survival myth.
09:55Earlier tests on Anderson's tissue had already shown no Romanov relation.
09:59The secret is no longer a romantic historical mystery.
10:01It's a closed forensic case.
10:03After all the rumors and speculation, years of false leads, dead ends, and imposters, a simple DNA test concludes that Duchess Anastasia, the last of the Romanovs, died alongside the rest of her family on July 17, 1918.
10:20The Umbrella Man.
10:21On November 22nd, it rained the night before, but everything cleared by about 9 or 9.30 in the morning.
10:31So if you were looking at various photographs of the motorcade route and the crowds gathered there, you will have noticed nobody's wearing a raincoat.
10:43Conspiracy lore casts the Umbrella Man at Dealey Plaza as a signal man or assassin.
10:49The deemed mythologizing came not from agents, but from the man himself, Louis Stephen Witt.
10:53In all of Dallas, there appears to be exactly one person standing under an open black umbrella.
11:08And that person is standing where the shots begin to rain into the limousine.
11:14In 1978, he testified under oath to the U.S. House Select Committee on Assassinations that he brought the umbrella to heckle Kennedy,
11:21riffing on a 1930s political symbol associated with Neville Chamberlain,
11:25and by extension, Joseph P. Kennedy Sr.'s alleged appeasement sympathies.
11:29The committee's records identify Witt and preserve his account.
11:32Nothing in the forensic or ballistic record ties an umbrella to any weapon or signal.
11:37In the end, things were neither sinister nor cinematic.
11:40Witt was simply trolling, mid-century style.
11:42If you have any fact which you think is really sinister, right,
11:51is really obviously a fact which can only point to some sinister underpinnings,
11:58hey, forget it, man, because you can never on your own think up all the non-sinister, perfectly valid explanations.
12:06The Golden State Killer's identity.
12:08The chilling moment in the sentencing of one of America's most notorious serial killers,
12:12the sentencing of the Golden State Killer in California,
12:15former police officer Joseph D'Angelo Jr., sentenced to life with no parole.
12:19A faceless predator who committed heinous acts across California in the 1970s to 80s
12:24was unmasked in 2018 as Joseph James D'Angelo.
12:28The breakthrough was investigative genetic genealogy.
12:31Crime scene DNA generated a profile,
12:33which investigators uploaded to an open genealogy site to locate distant relatives.
12:38Traditional detective work narrowed the family tree,
12:41discarded DNA from the suspect and from the match.
12:43He stole my youth, my innocence.
12:46Who could I have grown up to be?
12:49I guess I'll never know.
12:51He was one of the most sadistic serial killers in history,
12:54even taunting victims with phone calls.
12:56I can kill you.
12:59He was captured living in plain sight in 2018.
13:02D'Angelo pleaded guilty in 2020 and received multiple life sentences.
13:06The reveal didn't just solve a case.
13:07It transformed policing, spurring DOJ guidance, opt-in policies, and debates over privacy and scope.
13:14A long-kept secret, his name ended with a lab bench and a family tree.
13:18I feel like maybe he was good to his family members.
13:22He hid behind that mask.
13:25You know, maybe he did pretend to be a different person.
13:29Michelle Cruz's sister, Janelle, was D'Angelo's final murder victim.
13:33Fermat's last theorem.
13:34X squared plus Y squared equals Z squared,
13:37which gives us the relationship between the sides of a right-angled triangle.
13:41For example, three squared plus four squared equals five squared.
13:45But what if I change the squares to cubes, for example,
13:49or fourth powers or fifth powers?
13:51Are there any solutions to these equations?
13:53For 358 years, Fermat's marginal tease taunted mathematics.
13:58The reveal arrived not as a neat page,
14:00but as a deep bridge between number theory and geometry.
14:03Andrew Wiles proved, with a crucial correction developed with Richard Taylor,
14:07a key case of the modularity theorem for semi-stable elliptic curves,
14:12together with Rebet's theorem,
14:13that collapsed Fermat's last theorem as a corollary.
14:16Now, trying to prove that you can't find solutions
14:18is somehow much more difficult
14:20than actually finding three numbers which solve that equation.
14:24And that's why it really was one of the biggest challenges
14:27for mathematicians for 350 years.
14:29We just couldn't find a reason to show why these equations couldn't be solved.
14:34Until, that is, Andrew Wiles came up with his great solution.
14:37The corrected proofs appeared in the Annals of Mathematics in 1995,
14:41and have since been foundational.
14:42The secret wasn't a clever elementary trick Fermat squeezed into a margin.
14:46It was 20th century machinery,
14:48Galois representations,
14:49modular forms,
14:51and an audacious isomorphism strategy.
14:53Being able to have your name on something like Fermat's last theorem,
14:57which mathematicians have been trying to prove for 350 years,
15:02that's the ultimate prize.
15:04The Antikythera mechanism.
15:06Pulled from a Greek shipwreck in 1901,
15:08this corroded lump turned out to be a 2nd century BCE gear computer.
15:12The breakthrough came with high-resolution X-ray CT in the mid-2000s,
15:16revealing hidden inscriptions,
15:17and a dense gear train that predicted lunar phases,
15:20eclipses,
15:21and planetary motions,
15:22and tracked calendars,
15:24and olympiads.
15:25Later work refined the front-face model,
15:27and celestial display architecture.
15:28The secret is twofold.
15:31The device's ambition,
15:32modeling the cosmos in bronze,
15:34and the sophistication of Hellenistic engineering,
15:37long underestimated by modernists.
15:39What once looked like an enigma,
15:40is now clearly the result of human ingenuity,
15:43a hand-cranked universe in a box.
15:45Weeping statues.
15:46It's a statue of the Virgin Mary
15:48that appears to be crying tears inside a Reading shop.
15:519 News reporter Janelle Walton was inside the shop.
15:54Janelle, what did you see?
15:55You've probably seen it on the news or in a movie.
15:57A religious statue is weeping,
15:59and usually some kind of red liquid just to make it that much creepier.
16:03This phenomenon is often associated with miracles,
16:05as, you know,
16:06a statue should not be crying.
16:08However,
16:09there are many non-religious reasons why a statue might be crying.
16:12In some cases,
16:13the water is nothing but condensation,
16:15and if the statue is made of porous materials,
16:17moisture can seep through and resemble tears.
16:20There also might be psychological perceptions at play,
16:23or just good old-fashioned tampering for the sake of fame and attention.
16:26Even the Catholic Church ignores weeping statues for the most part,
16:29and have called out a number of examples as hoaxes.
16:31You're imagining it.
16:32Three of us saw it, Aaron.
16:33How do you explain that?
16:34Sleep deprivation?
16:36Parano?
16:37Delusional Personality Disorder.
16:39The Salish Sea Discoveries.
16:41It is becoming all too common in B.C.
16:43Another foot has washed up on shore,
16:46this time in Richmond,
16:47and it looks like a woman's left foot in a New Balance running shoe.
16:51The western coast of North America
16:53is the site of one of the most gruesome mysteries in modern history.
16:57Beginning in the summer of 2007,
16:58a number of human feet,
17:00often still inside their shoes,
17:01have washed ashore in British Columbia,
17:04Tacoma,
17:04and Seattle.
17:05A number of macabre theories have been put forth,
17:08including the possibility of a serial killer,
17:10but the reality is far more mundane.
17:12People die at sea,
17:13often in tragic boating accidents,
17:15and their bodies decompose in the water.
17:17As this happens,
17:18the extremities,
17:19like hands and feet,
17:20break away from the body,
17:21and because the feet are trapped inside the shoes,
17:24they are most likely saved from decomposition,
17:26and buoyed,
17:27allowing them to float to shore in the currents.
17:29Shoes and feet washing up.
17:31There's been a dozen of them or so,
17:32and you hear about them over the years,
17:33and it's just,
17:34it's just kind of a unique local phenomenon.
17:36The Kanduska event.
17:38In the early morning of June 30th, 1908,
17:41a remote area of Russia was hit with a massive and mysterious blast.
17:45In one hour,
17:46the explosion and the great fire that followed
17:48destroy a region of forest the size of greater London.
17:52People who observed that thought
17:54the end of the world had come,
17:56judgment day,
17:57divine intervention.
17:58This blast completely leveled over 800 square miles of forest
18:02and flattened 80 million trees.
18:04No source could be found for the explosion,
18:06so no one knew what exactly happened.
18:08It's an event,
18:08and it's a mystery that would take 105 years of research
18:12before we could finally write the words.
18:15The end.
18:16Thousands of scientific papers have been written about the incident,
18:19and the area has been studied for decades,
18:21with many trying to crack the bizarre case.
18:23It is now generally agreed
18:24that a 200-foot meteor traveling 60,000 miles per hour
18:28exploded in midair over the area,
18:30resulting in what's called a meteor airburst.
18:32This airburst then leveled everything below the meteor's detonation site.
18:37If it was a meteorite,
18:38and the Earth had turned a bit further,
18:40it would have destroyed St. Petersburg.
18:42An hour later,
18:43it would have destroyed Helsinki.
18:45One hour later,
18:46Stockholm,
18:47and after that,
18:47Oslo.
18:48Crocker Land.
18:49Did he tell you what we're supposed to do?
18:53I did.
18:56Well?
18:56He wants us to move the island.
19:02The 19th and 20th centuries were filled with brilliant adventures into the Earth's poles,
19:06but you probably haven't heard of the Crocker Land expedition.
19:09American explorer and Navy officer Robert E. Perry
19:11described an enormous, mountainous land
19:14that he could see from Ellesmere Island in the Canadian Arctic.
19:17He named it Crocker Land after his financial backer, George Crocker,
19:21and an expedition set out to find and map it.
19:24Yet, they found no such island,
19:26despite its supposedly immense size.
19:28It simply didn't exist.
19:30What a tantalizing mystery.
19:32No, seriously, it didn't exist.
19:34As we later learned through his personal diary,
19:36Perry made the whole thing up,
19:37probably to secure more funding from an excited Crocker.
19:42Where's the island?
19:44Where's the island?
19:47The construction of the pyramids.
19:49The Giza pyramids are arguably the most famous landmarks in the world.
19:52They continue to stand tall, literally, after thousands of years.
19:56Their construction has baffled people for millennia,
19:58leading some to suggest that aliens must have been involved.
20:01After all, humans couldn't possibly drag and lift those stones into place, right?
20:06Well, yes, they could.
20:08Researchers believe that workers loaded the blocks onto sledges
20:11and wet the sand to make them easier to drag.
20:13They raised the blocks using ramps and levering techniques.
20:16This took tens of thousands of people decades to complete.
20:19But hey, no one said building a wonder of the world was easy.
20:22The Windsor Hum
20:23There are a weird number of hums heard throughout the world,
20:37each described as a persistent and irritating whine.
20:40One of the most notable examples was found in Windsor, Ontario.
20:43The sound was described by many as a low, droning vibration.
20:47And it was loud enough that one evening in 2012,
20:49over 20,000 people reported it to the local police.
20:52Alas, the mystery was finally solved in 2020,
20:55and thousands of annoyed residents could finally rest easy.
20:58Literally.
20:58The sound was sourced to nearby Zug Island,
21:01a heavily industrialized area just off Detroit,
21:04and specifically, the blast furnaces operated by U.S. Steel.
21:07When these furnaces were deactivated in April of that year,
21:10the sound ceased, and peace was restored.
21:12To hear the folks at United States Steel tell it,
21:15this is not permanent.
21:17No mothballs, no shuttering of a plant.
21:19They're calling it an indefinite idling
21:21as they try and make their operation more efficient.
21:24The surgeon's photograph.
21:251934.
21:26The first photo of the supposed Loch Ness monster
21:29incites public frenzy
21:31and a torrent of tourists looking for Nessie.
21:34A massive, dinosaur-like head
21:36emerging from Scotland's Loch Ness.
21:38The photo has entranced the public
21:40ever since its publication in 1934,
21:42with many believing it to be verifiable proof
21:44of the elusive Loch Ness monster.
21:47But even for those who didn't believe in the mythical monster,
21:49a lingering question still remained.
21:51What exactly was this?
21:52It wasn't until the 1990s
21:54that we got firm answers.
21:56In 1991,
21:57a man named Christian Sperling admitted
21:59that the photo was a hoax,
22:00having built the monster using a toy submarine
22:02and wood putty.
22:04He then conspired with a number of others
22:06in order to fool the Daily Mail
22:07into publishing a bogus story,
22:09which it famously did.
22:11So using plastic,
22:12wood,
22:13and a toy submarine
22:14that create this model of a creature
22:16with a long neck
22:17and a small head.
22:18Stonehenge.
22:19The awe-inspiring Stone Circle
22:21is an enduring mystery.
22:27Despite centuries of intense scrutiny.
22:30One of humanity's greatest marvels,
22:31Stonehenge has been standing for thousands of years.
22:34The widely accepted theory
22:36is that the Stonehenge landscape
22:38was a large cemetery.
22:40A place to bury and worship the dead.
22:43But where exactly did the giant stones come from?
22:45They are all pretty symmetrical.
22:4713 feet high,
22:487 feet across,
22:49and each weighing 25 tons.
22:51Experts have been trying to crack the case
22:52for hundreds of years.
22:54Some will have you believe
22:55that it was aliens.
22:56But no,
22:56it was really just the nearby woods.
22:58In 2019,
22:59researchers were able to do tests
23:01on a small piece of extracted stone
23:02and sourced it
23:03to the nearby Westwoods in Wiltshire.
23:05The location has finally been pinned down.
23:07But one tantalizing question remains.
23:09How did they drag these 25-ton boulders
23:1115 miles to the south?
23:13Clearly some very, very powerful people around
23:15at that time
23:16who were being able to control resources,
23:19control the labor force,
23:21to create some of the largest monuments
23:23we've ever seen.
23:24The collapse of the Maya civilization.
23:26The largest and most sophisticated
23:27pre-Columbian civilization of the Americas,
23:29the Maya,
23:31flourished for thousands of years.
23:33They mastered mathematics and astronomy,
23:36perfected the first written language
23:39of the Western Hemisphere,
23:41and produced stunning works of art.
23:44The civilization entered its so-called
23:46Classic Period in the year 250,
23:49and this lasted until 900.
23:50It was around then
23:51that the entire political system collapsed,
23:54and the Maya abandoned
23:55their most important cities to move north.
23:57With this,
23:57the Maya civilization entered what is called
24:00its Post-Classic Period.
24:01So what the heck happened?
24:03It's a mystery that has plagued historians for years.
24:05The answer was finally found in the 21st century.
24:08Turns out
24:09that the Maya were so overpopulated
24:11that they damaged the environment
24:12and created a devastating drought.
24:14The extreme intensity of these droughts
24:16was disastrous,
24:18making a carefully managed response
24:22their only hope.
24:24With their agriculture thoroughly destroyed,
24:26the Maya were forced to abandon
24:27their most populous cities.
24:28Today,
24:30the empty jungles of the Yucatan
24:32serve as a reminder
24:33that even great civilizations
24:35can fail.

24:51The Bermuda Triangle
24:54Vast, ominous, mythical.
24:56The Bermuda Triangle,
24:58also known as the Devil's Triangle,
24:59one of the greatest mysteries of our time.
25:02Everyone knows of the mythical Bermuda Triangle,
25:04found between Bermuda,
25:06Puerto Rico,
25:06and the Florida coast.
25:08The Triangle is said to be a hotspot
25:09of paranormal activity,
25:11prone to swallowing ships and planes
25:12and leaving their fates unknown.
25:14It's one of the most enduring mysteries
25:16of American pop culture.
25:17Only,
25:18there isn't really a mystery,
25:19and this has been known
25:20since at least the mid-70s.
25:22That's when Larry Cush published
25:23The Bermuda Triangle Mystery Solved
25:25and posited that the Triangle
25:27does not have a higher incident rate
25:29than any other part of the ocean.
25:30Furthermore,
25:31many of the original stories
25:32were either highly exaggerated
25:34or just outright made up.
25:35It's just a fun story
25:36and nothing more.
25:37Using the terminology of today,
25:39you would call the Triangle.
25:41Well, I mean,
25:42you know,
25:42this is the oldest fake news story
25:43in the world.
25:44I mean,
25:44like this has been around
25:45for a long time
25:46and, you know,
25:47people build on it.
25:48Which world secret
25:49would you most like to see solved?
