Could you introduce yourself for us. I’m Knowing Bett-
Could you look at the camera when you do. Oh, sure. I’m Knowing Better, I make videos about
history, government, and psychology. And occasionally religion. And what are some of your recent videos? Well, I just finished a year-long project
where I talked about changes to climate policy, the post office, police militarization, and
Mormons. That was my most popular video this year. Are you a Mormon? No. So what qualifies you to talk about them? I’m also not a postal worker, what kind
of bar is that? If I only ever talked about things that I’ve
personally been a part of or believe in, I wouldn’t have much of a channel. Okay so, what do you believe in? [Sci-fi intro music] This video is brought to you by CuriosityStream and Nebula. There are trillions of stars and billions
of galaxies in the universe, which means there’s an incalculable number of planets with the
potential for life. It is a mathematical likelihood that they
exist out there somewhere. Imagine if any one of these alien planets
developed a civilization that had a thousand- or even a million-year head start on us. They would be so advanced that their technology
would essentially look like magic. The thing is, we don’t have to imagine a
scenario like that, we’ve had plenty of those interactions between humans on our own
planet. Think about how far we’ve come in just the
last hundred years. We went from the Great Depression in 1929
to landing on the Moon in 1969 to… well we’re working on it-
What happened after 1969? I’d really, rather not… Whenever I talk about the 70s, I black out
or something. The point is, we’ve had scenarios here on
Earth where two civilizations, which are technologically centuries apart, finally meet. And it’s interesting to see how the less
advanced civilization reacts. During World War 2, the American military
used several previously uncontacted Pacific Islands as air bases and they often gave supplies
to the locals. When the war ended and the planes stopped
coming, the people began building altars and effigies calling for their return. These became known as Cargo Cults; they basically
viewed the advanced civilization as gods. And this isn’t a one-off example. Carl Sagan liked to tell a story of the Alaskan
Tlingit, who were first contacted by Europeans in the late 1700s and then recontacted almost
a century later. To discover that the story of that first contact
was now a religious mythology. And that’s just among humans who are a few
decades or centuries apart; imagine a civilization with a difference of thousands of years. How would we interpret what we’re seeing? When you see an object like this, your first
inclination might be to call it a UFO or a flying saucer, but that’s because of your
vocabulary. What would someone from 3000 years ago call
it? Obviously not a UFO, and I’m not entirely
sure that saucers even existed yet, but you know what did? Clouds. Or perhaps, a flaming chariot made of light. The Book of Ezekiel in the Old Testament tells
the story of his encounter with angels who came down from Heaven. Making a tremendous noise and issuing forth
clouds of smoke. The angels are the Cherubim, described as
having four wings and four faces, usually depicted as coming from different animals. But again, think of the vocabulary available
to him. If you were trying to describe an alien to
someone else, you might say that it had a beak like an eagle and a mane like a lion. After a few centuries of oral tradition, you
end up with something like this. The angels rode down on vehicles known as
Thrones, which he describes as looking like wheels within wheels, covered in eyeballs. You know what else looks like wheels within
wheels covered in eyeballs? [X-Files Theme music] If the Book of Ezekiel accurately describes an extraterrestrial visitation, as many ancient
astronaut theorists believe, is it possible that all of our religions are simply Alien
Cargo Cults? That’s the theory put forth by Erich von
Däniken in his book Chariots of the Gods, written in 1968. People had been talking about the possibility
of extraterrestrials for centuries, but they didn’t really enter our pop culture until
the turn of the century when we first began to fly. And then it really took off during the Space
Race. A few authors had toyed with the idea of ancient
aliens, most notably HP Lovecraft in his story At the Mountains of Madness. But nobody had framed it as a serious academic
theory until Däniken. While studying the Bible at his Christian
boarding school, Däniken noticed that many characters and stories paralleled the mythologies
of other cultures from around the world. What if they all refer to the same historical
events? The Egyptians prayed to a pantheon of half-animal
gods, the Greek gods flew around on clouds and chariots, and the Sumerians believed that
the Anunnaki came down from the stars. What if these are all different interpretations
of the same gods? The Epic of Gilgamesh from Ancient Sumeria
tells the story of when Gilgamesh visited the Gods in Heaven. Gilgamesh was a demigod, much like Hercules. While he was there, he met Utnapishtim who,
centuries earlier, was warned to prepare for a worldwide flood by building a boat. We see this same story in Hinduism, Zoroastrianism,
and Christianity. Moses grew up in the palaces of Egypt as an
adopted son of the Pharaoh and likely studied the Epic of Gilgamesh, when it came time to
lead his people to freedom, he simply adapted the story. Utnapishtim’s flood became Noah’s Flood. Since the Epic of Gilgamesh is the original,
and contains far more detail, we should take that one as the most accurate telling of events. Which means Gilgamesh and therefore Noah,
were both part alien. We all know the boat story is a bit of a stretch,
but what if the Ark was just a misinterpretation of a spaceship, meant to save a few select
humans from the Flood? [Halo music] But if Noah’s Flood and the Epic of Gilgamesh are different accounts of the same event,
as ancient astronaut theorists have speculated, why would the gods warn us? Could the biblical flood be a preconceived
event meant to clear away the human race with a few notable, controlled exceptions? Hi, KB Morgan here, from KB Morgan’s Gold,

billion years old, but the Earth only cooled down around 500 million years ago. That’s how short of a time life had to take
hold on this planet. Mars cooled down a billion years earlier,
it had an atmosphere, a temperate climate, and water on its surface. So, it’s entirely possible that life formed
on Mars first. I’m not talking about bacterial microbes
frozen in the ice, I’m talking about an advanced civilization of intelligent beings. If you’ve ever played Doom, you’ve seen
evidence of that. Okay that’s the second video game you’ve
brought up… Know your audience man, besides, you just
have to look at the moons of Mars to notice that something isn’t quite right. Unlike every moon in our solar system, they
aren’t round. They look more like asteroids, they’re completely
out of place. Mainstream astronomists have agreed that the
Martian moons, Phobos and Deimos, are captured asteroids from the nearby asteroid belt. But if that’s true, then captured by whom? And for what mysterious purpose? It’s entirely possible that this ancient
Martian civilization artificially captured these asteroids, either for mining or to stabilize
the planet’s rotation. Either way, they were intentionally put there. After Mars suffered an ecological collapse,
possibly triggered by those artificial moons, the civilization fled to the nearest planet
– Earth. You probably know this as the Panspermia Hypothesis. When they came here, they found the planet
full of different species of hominids and over a period of thousands of years, interbred
with them to create modern humans. Which the Greek gods did on a regular basis. These Martians would have been larger and
stronger than any humanoid on Earth, which is why we have legends of giants in just about
every culture. They also lived far longer than us. As you read through all of the people who
knew and begot each other in the Bible, you’ll notice that people used to live for hundreds
of years. And as that blood was diluted, our lives got
shorter. It’s entirely possible that we might be
the descendants of – or creations of – ancient Martians. But if extraterrestrials came to Earth to
breed humans, as many ancient alien astronaut theorists believe, to what end? Human civilization seemed to spring up out
of nowhere and started in the Americas, specifically Nazca, Peru. We know this because of the archaeological
evidence which is still visible to this day. The famous Nazca Lines are dozens if not hundreds
of geometrically perfect lines crisscrossing the plateau. You also find enormous depictions of animals
that can only be seen from the sky. Why would the ancient Nazca people make this
giant artwork that they themselves could not see? To me, it’s obvious. Nazca, Peru is a perfect microcosm of everything
you can find on Earth; gold, silver, uranium, you name it. And anything that isn’t located on the plateau
is depicted in these giant pieces of art, almost as if they’re advertising what is
available on this planet to any spaceship passing by. Which can then land on any number of these
air strips. This is obviously an ancient alien spaceport. Extraterrestrials genetically modified or
interbred with humans in order to create a species smart enough to mine elements like
copper and gold for them. Which they could then pick up at the Nazca
Spaceport. Think about it, gold and copper are pretty
much useless metals, they’re too soft for weapons or tools, so historically the only
thing we’ve used them for is jewelry. We’ve only recently discovered their uses
in electronics and space travel. It’s entirely possible that the only reason
we exist is to mine precious metals for a species who already knew how to properly use
them. We’ve seen this story pop up numerous times
in our religious texts and even pop culture – from Stargate, to Transformers, to Alien
vs. Predator. They taught humans how to build and were worshipped
as gods. Now you’re citing movies as evidence? Look, what are movies and video games if not
modern retellings of ancient epics and oral traditions? And the physical evidence is all around us. There are cave paintings from around the world,
separated by thousands of years, which depict humanoid beings wearing astronaut suits. What do you think those angelic halos really
are, if not helmets? Many ancient people, including the Nazca,
practiced skull elongation, shaping the soft craniums of infants until they looked like
this, what does this look like to you? Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Once these developed humans had served their
purpose, the extraterrestrials needed to get rid of the evidence. Some of the areas in Nazca, Peru have way
too many lines to be an airstrip; no airport has this many runways. Do you know what this looks like to me? When you compare it to a picture of Hiroshima,
it isn’t that much of a stretch to imagine what it would look like after a few thousand
years of erosion. These are city streets. This ancient, lost city full of futuristic
technologies like air travel, goes by a number of different names in our mythology, like
the legendary city of Atlantis. But it could also be Sodom and Gomorrah. Why else would the angels be in such a hurry
to get Lot and his family out of the city by a specific time? And why couldn’t Lot’s wife turn around
and look at it? Because it was destroyed by a nuclear meltdown
or intentional explosion caused by the aliens. If humanity was bred to mine resources for
extraterrestrial space travelers, as many ancient astronaut theorists believe, wouldn’t
there be evidence for this theory outside of Nazca? Turns out, there is. Once their experimental humans were intelligent
enough to serve their purposes, the aliens caused a worldwide flood to destroy all of
the unsuccessful specimens. That’s what happened to the Neanderthals,
Denisovans, and all of the other hominids. This flood, coupled with the destruction of
Nazca, displaced the bulk of humanity from the Americas to Eurasia. Then we spread out and formed new cultures
– based on the same stories. Why does every civilization have a similar
flood myth and tales of dragons and giants? Because those stories were literally true. Why do we see pyramids built all over the
world by civilizations who supposedly never knew about each other? Maybe these were imitations or effigies of
alien spacecraft, just like the Cargo Cults. The Pyramids of Giza hold a lot of significance
– they line up just like Orion’s Belt, which happens to be the birthplace of stars. How could they know that without a telescope? The pyramids also perfectly divide the world
in half along the longest line of latitude and the longest line of longitude? How could they have possibly figured that
out? How did the ancient Egyptians have a decimal
system and why did they practice mummification? What were they saving these bodies for? Maybe that was their best attempt at recreating
stasis or freezing astronauts for interstellar travel. Egyptology and Ancient Alien Theory go hand-in-hand,
there are simply too many unanswered questions. You expect me to believe they did all that
by themselves? The extraterrestrials didn’t leave us alone
after all of that, they continued to send down messengers to guide humanity in whatever
direction best suits them. God and all of the biblical prophets were
at least part-alien. In the Bible, God always speaks in the plural
– “Let us make mankind in our image” and “Man has become like one of us.” Why don’t we ever take this literally? It’s practically an admission. And, more importantly, they never show their
face, they always appear as a burning bush or a bright light. Or speak through objects like a stone. Prophets like Moses and Jesus were specifically
sent down here to gather a chosen few to lead them to a promised land, whether that be a
physical or heavenly place. And this isn’t unique to the Abrahamic religions. Quetzalcoatl was a demigod who took the form
of a dragon and did the same for the peoples of Mesoamerica, creating the Incans, Aztecs,
and Mayans. Who also built pyramids, how much more evidence
do you need? When Europeans finally arrived in the Americas,
they found that the Aztecs and Mayans had a calendar that reached back tens of thousands
of years and a vastly superior knowledge of astronomy. They even knew about Neptune and Uranus, centuries
before the West. When the conquistadors and priests arrived,
they burned all of this ancient knowledge, calling them pagan texts. They were on a mission to convert everyone
to Christianity. According to mainstream historians, the texts
were burned by Friar Diego de Landa in 1562. But what if this act of religious zealotry
was little more than an alien coverup? What if these texts bore a true account of
how these people came across this knowledge? And the Spanish just wanted to burn the evidence. How else could these primitive brown people
possibly know more about the stars than the Europeans? I’m not saying they learned it from aliens
but… Are you alright? I just realized how racist that sounds… You just realized that? Yeah… what do you mean just realized? Are you saying that Ancient Alien Theory is
just a way to continue to believe in white supremacist fairy tales through a science
fiction religion rather than a supernatural one? … Or am I saying that… …I think I’m going through a bit of a
crisis here. Setting aside the scientific racism and eugenics
movements that were popular when he was growing up, Däniken’s theory was completely compatible
with mainstream Christianity. It was just a new way of looking at things. All of the events of the Bible happened just
as they were described and people like Noah, Moses, and Abraham were real. They were just alien messengers, rather than
supernatural prophets. Because of this plausible compatibility, the
book became pretty popular in Europe, though it would take a while before it made it over
to the states. All that ch- NO! Change the light back, we’re not doing that
joke anymore. It’s a dead meme. Anyway, it didn’t catch on in the US until
a documentary based on his book was released in 1970, which became the ninth highest grossing
movie that year. It was even nominated for an Academy Award
for Best Documentary in 1971. After the book and movie came out, there was
an increase in UFO sightings, along with hundreds of unexplained cattle mutilations and crop
circles. Didn’t two guys admit to faking those… … Yeah, only in England though. That doesn’t explain the hundreds if not
thousands of them that have appeared around the world ever since, they can’t all be
fake. Keep in mind, they didn’t appear after Roswell,
it was only after Chariots of the Gods. And in the decades since, Däniken has written
dozens of books and several other people have brought new evidence to light, which have
expanded on the original theory. How do you think this show has been going
for 16 seasons? Does this have any overlap with other conspiracies
like QAnon? … No, we’re not like them. QAnon is what we call a “Big Tent” conspiracy
because multiple theories can fit inside of it and they don’t always conflict. It’s hard to broadly define what they believe. Some of them believe that the world is being
controlled by a Satan-worshipping cabal who drink the blood of children. Others believe that they’re reptilian shape-shifters
who may or may not be aliens. Some of them believe that the world is flat,
space travel is impossible, and therefore, the Moon landing was faked. We obviously don’t believe that. Ancient Aliens is more of a “Shotgun”
theory, we throw a lot of disconnected, unexplainable phenomena out there, any number of which could
be true. And they do sometimes get in the way of each
other. The benefit to this sort of theory is that
if any one of the facts miss their mark or are disproven, there are dozens of others
that might still land for you. Not everyone believes in every facet of Ancient
Alien Theory. AltHistHub: But what if everything ancient
astronaut theorists claimed was true? If mainstream archaeologists and historians
are wrong, what is the true history of our planet? Don’t worry, I’m not gonna speak like
the Ancient Aliens guy the whole time. So uhh… watch my video about that, I guess. Here at Knowing Better, we strive to bring

and biblical prophets like Noah, Moses, and Abraham were extraterrestrial messengers,
would they not still send messengers today? And if they did, who would believe them? Hello. My name is KBODY. And how did you become involved in all of
this? Ah well, I had just graduated high school
and there was a lot of bad stuff going on in the country at the time… What bad stuff? … I don’t really know, I was still pretty
young and I wasn’t really paying that much attention. Anyway, a lot of us distracted ourselves by
retreating into fiction, I read a lot of Robert Heinlein and L Ron Hubbard. We had just landed on the Moon; science fiction
was really popular. Then I saw this documentary that raised a
lot of interesting questions about the pyramids and whether angels and prophets were actually
aliens. And it just sort of made sense to me. So, when I heard that there was this mysterious
couple travelling around the country gathering followers to take them to outer space… Well, that was right up my alley. In September 1975, I attended a meeting in
Waldport, Oregon along with 200 other people. 34 of us joined that day. They were originally known as “The Two”
which is a reference to the Book of Revelation, since they thought the world was about to
end. They were hardly alone in thinking that, this
was the height of the Cold War. Plenty of religions claimed that in the past
too, but this was the first time anyone had incorporated science fiction elements into
it. We came from distant space, what your religious
literature would call the Kingdom of Heaven, and we’re about to return. They believed that they were just another
in a long line of biblical prophets, like Moses and Jesus. Who were actually alien messengers sent down
here to gather a group of loyal followers to take them back to Heaven. We have this simple truth, though the most
potent truth, and it is the identical truth that Jesus brought to human beings 2000 years
ago. After a few dozen of us had joined their flock,
The Two changed their names to Bo and Peep. Which implied that their followers were sheep. That didn’t really sit well with us since
we were all part of the free-thinking hippy counterculture and we didn’t like thinking
of ourselves that way. So, they changed their names to Ti and Do,
from the Sound of Music. In truth, Do’s real name was Marshall Applewhite,
a few years prior, he was a music professor in Alabama and had a homosexual affair with
a student, which cost him his job and his marriage. His father was a Presbyterian minister and
died in 1971. All of these events caused Marshall to have
a mental breakdown, and while in a psychiatric ward in Texas, he met a nurse named Bonnie
Nettles. Who would later become known as Ti. Bonnie was really into New Age religious thinking,
including astrology, crystal healing, and UFOs, and convinced Marshall that they were
soulmates with a special divine assignment. In 1974, they began travelling the country
to spread their message. That message was that Heaven was a real, physical
place, known as the Next Level, which you could see if you had a powerful enough telescope. And to get there, you needed to go through
a Human Individual Metamorphosis. This was a process that would physically transform
your body into that of a perfect alien being, allowing you to board a spacecraft that would
take you there. This process required you to leave behind
everything that made you human. They taught that you needed to let go of your
possessions, your family, your job; anything connected to your humanness. And you needed to do that quickly, because
the ship would arrive at any moment. The group travelled around the country, staying
at different campgrounds and holding meetings to gain more followers. Ti and Do would eventually call this period
“The Harvest.” But we were pretty heavily maligned by the
press, calling us a UFO Cult and blaming us for a number of cattle mutilations which took
place wherever we happened to be staying. They even called our leaders “Pied Pipers
from Outer Space.” This unfair lampooning by the media caused
Ti and Do to close the Harvest in 1976 and the group, which only had a few dozen members,
became much more insular. This is when our doctrine was really developed. That year, they printed a guidebook for our
beliefs titled How and When Heaven’s Gate (The Door to the Physical Kingdom Level Above
Human) May Be Entered. We never actually called ourselves “Heaven’s
Gate.” We were known as “the Crew” or “the
Class” and Ti and Do became our teachers, aside from that, there really wasn’t any
hierarchy. We didn’t have priests, bishops, and cardinals
or anything. Again, this was an individual process, everyone
was on their own journey to perfect themselves and leave behind anything that made them human. Including their thoughts and emotions. We invented an entirely new vocabulary to
disassociate ourselves from our past feelings. Your body is your Vehicle, your mind is your
Computer, and your thoughts are your Programming. Everyone dressed in unisex clothing in order
to look androgynous, since everyone in the Next Level is genderless. Which meant you also had to repress your sexuality. Everyone was celibate, we lived a monastic
lifestyle, and everyone was assigned a Check Partner, who was with you at all times. To make sure you were following all of the
rules. They limited what media you were allowed to
consume, but one of the few shows we were allowed to watch as a class was Star Trek. According to Do, we should aspire to be like
the Borg. We were also given new names, usually two
or three letters followed by -ODY, so my name became KBODY. This further disconnected us from our past
selves. Leaving the group was physically easy, nobody
would try to stop you since this was supposed to be an individual process. You’d just be giving up your chance to Graduate
to the Next Level. A few of the people who left the class over
the years eventually came back, since they had trouble reintegrating into society after
learning the truth… You mean after they were brainwashed? …We don’t think of it like that, it’s
more of a baptism of the mind. Plenty of doubters left the group over the
years, leaving the rest of us to focus on the teachings of Ti and Do. It was kind of nice not having them weigh
us down anymore. What’s up guys Knowing Ferrets here! Did you know that I have two ferrets now? Atlas and Peabody, like from the game – you
know the game. Which means you also just lost it! Ohhh! I just wanna ask you one question – do you
want to know more about ferrets? Of course you do, what kind of question even
is that?! Well, you should head over to curiositystream.com/knowingbetter. CuriosityStream is a subscription streaming
service that offers thousands of documentaries and non-fiction titles which you can access
across multiple platforms. I specifically recommend that you watch Meet
the Mustelids – quite possibly my favorite animal documentary ever. Check it out by also signing up for Nebula,
a streaming service built by fellow extraterrestrial beings just trying to guide humanity along
the right path. All of my content is hosted over there ad-free,
and viewers who watch this video over on Nebula get to see a few jokes which were too spicy
for youtube, as well as a different commercial segment. So, head on over to curiositystream.com/knowingbetter,
for a limited time, you can get a subscription to both CuriosityStream and Nebula for only
14.79 a year – you’ll also be supporting the channel when you do. And if you want to learn even more about ferrets,
I also did a collab on this channel a few years ago that you should check out. I haven’t thought of an ending for this
commercial yet, but when I do, I’ll put it right-
If human bodies were simply extraterrestrial vehicles which need to perfect themselves
in order to get into Heaven, as Ti and Do believed, what happens when that vehicle breaks
down? In 1985, Bonnie Nettles, otherwise known as
Ti, died of cancer. This really shocked the class, if she was
a perfect alien being from outer space, how could her vehicle break down like that? This was especially hard for Do. For the first time in ten years, he sent the
entire group home and even began to question whether he should continue the class. Ti was the real spiritual leader of the group. Do often referred to her as his “older member,”
she was way more into astrology, metaphysics, all that other New Age stuff. Do was the son of a preacher and was far more
Christian. So when he invited everyone back, everything
shifted away from science fiction; you’d no longer physically transform into an alien
being or get on an actual UFO. It was now a spiritual journey. After a few years, Do began teaching that
he was the reincarnation of Jesus and that Ti was continuing to guide him from space. Which meant, as his older member, she was
God. Blasphemy! You say you’re from the Kingdom of God. Who do you think you are, Jesus? Who do you think you are, God? While being soulmates, Ti and Do were never
romantically involved because Do was very obviously homosexual. And very obviously ashamed of it. He tried repressing it for years, but eventually
he asked one of the earliest members to leave the group because his vehicle had become attracted
to their vehicle. When that wasn’t enough, the castrations
began. In order to rid themselves of their normal,
human, male sexual desires, a few members of the class decided it would just be easier
to… Remove the parts that made them male. Do and about five or six other classmates
went through with it and these increasingly radical moves caused a lot of people to start
leaving the group. So, in 1991, Do opened up the Second Harvest. We began a satellite TV show called Beyond
Human and we were incredibly active on the early internet, especially Usenet. Do was a frequent poster on UFO forums. So, when the Hale-Bopp comet was discovered
in 1995, we were among the first people to know about it. In 1996, a picture was taken which appeared
to show a companion trailing behind the comet. This was obviously the spaceship Ti and Do
had been talking about for the last twenty years, this was a sign. It was time to plan our Exit. You have to remember, this was around the
same time as Ruby Ridge and Waco, the government was taking out cults left and right. So, we had to keep our plan a secret. We decided to wait until the comet was a bit
closer, which was supposed to happen around Easter, so we spent a few months going on
road trips to see everything one last time. The companion was eventually disproven, but
that didn’t matter, our path was clear. On March 22, 1997, 39 Heaven’s Gate members,
21 women and 18 men, committed suicide through a combination of phenobarbital, alcohol, and
a plastic bag. This was, and still is, the largest mass suicide
on US soil. They died in three groups, each group taking
care of the previous and covering them with a purple shroud. Except for the last two people, for obvious
reasons. They wore all-black uniforms with a patch
on their shoulder and black and white Nike shoes… Why aren’t you dressed like that? Because it’s 2021. Those who went through with it believed that
their spirits would be taken up to the alien spaceship to travel to the Next Level. Which again, is just what we call the Kingdom
of Heaven. A few of us were asked to stay behind and
document the scene and maintain the website and intellectual property. And many of us continue to believe in the
teachings of Ti and Do. In the weeks and months that followed the
Exit, three other members committed suicide in the hopes of catching up to them. A few others attempted but didn’t succeed. At this point, I figured it’d be best to
just wait for Hale-Bopp to swing around again, which should happen in the year 4384. Until then, I’m looking into mummification,
since we haven’t invented cryostasis yet… You know they remove your brain for that,
right? Your brain has nothing to do with it, your
brain is sort of, well I don’t know, brain is brain. What it does I’m never quite sure and I’m
not sure anybody else is either. This is all a spiritual journey, you need
to stop relying on your brain’s programming, because now, you know better. Pay no attention to the date this video was

AHH posted an Ancient Aliens video as well at basically the same time. I haven't seen either yet but I'm guessing there's some kind of collaboration at hand.
And if not, it seems like an awfully weird coincidence.... Look I'm not saying it's aliens but...
Lol I knew this was gonna be a fun episode when I saw all the terms were translated into Aurebesh
Could someone explain the lighting joke at 16:07?
Glad this came out today. Was slightly worried this was going to get more serious video with KBs tweets leading up to it. Relieved it only got a comical but still informative and enjoyable video instead.
I’m new to his channel and he definitely had me going for a minute or two. I was just thinking, I thought this guy was a little more reasonable than this.
At around 5:05 you say that the story of Moses (and Noah) is something found in Christianity. While technically accurate, attributing the Moses to Christianity during Passover is a little ironic.
Very enjoyable video!
Love it! I like to put on KB's videos as background noise while working, and it has been kind of difficult with some of his more recent videos because they were so heavy topic wise. All things have a place of course, just glad that I have more things for that work rotation!
Ok, forgive me. But this video confused the fuck out of me.. does he believe in AA and what was the heavens Gate part about? I mean I guess the heavens Gate part was satirical but the whole thing left me confused.. sorry if I missed the joke.. love the channel
