How do we actually know what we think we know? Jake opens the Week in Review with the J746 date stones, the Crystal Palace and Chicago's White City, then takes your chat questions through the buried windows and the Seattle Underground, the forgotten pneumatic tube networks (and the kids once mailed through the post office), Antwerp's 50 star forts and the keyhole shapes at their centers, the orphan trains and the palace-sized orphan and insane asylums built in towns of 1,800 people, how much of Chicago the 1893 World's Fair really covered, painted-in people in 1890s street photos, spotless Civil War uniforms, and the incubator baby exhibits and Barnum's $2,000 baby show.

In 1909 the Arizona Gazette reported a cave city cut into the Grand Canyon, with tunnels, mummies and Egyptian-style artifacts. Then the story disappeared. On this Sunday Mixtape, Jake pulls the hidden-pyramid moments from the live show: why so much of the Grand Canyon is closed on foot and by air, the temples named after Egyptian gods and their Orion's belt layout, how the Kincaid story was buried, Washington's perfectly shaped Tum Tum Mountain, the stone pyramids reported under Wisconsin's Rock Lake, the St. Louis Big Mound that was leveled in the 1860s, Monks Mound at Cahokia, the pyramid structures found off Cuba in 2001, and what Mexico's pyramids looked like before they were dug out. It wraps up with your questions about the Smithsonian and the missing proof. You decide.Stitched from Episodes 23, 47 and 48.

Episode 97 of Questioning Everything goes deep on the great World's Fairs, those massive, beautiful palace cities we're told went up in a couple of years out of "temporary" plaster, only to burn or get torn down right after. We go through the construction photos, the fire pattern that keeps showing up, and the questions the official narrative never really answers.We start at London 1851 and the Crystal Palace, all the way to the 1936 fire that Churchill called the end of an age. Then it's Philadelphia 1876, with Bell's telephone, Heinz and the Statue of Liberty's arm on display, then Paris 1889 with the Eiffel Tower, the Galerie des Machines and the human zoos. We finish in Chicago 1893, the White City, supposedly built on a swamp in about two years.We only got through half the list, so Part 2 is coming: Buffalo 1901, St. Louis 1904, San Francisco 1915, the incubator babies and the orphan trains. This one is very visual, so catch the full video on YouTube if you're listening here.⏱️ CHAPTERS00:00 Opening02:18 Welcome + Menasha tornado update04:06 Bluejays vote06:59 How tonight works10:47 Construction photos & the fire pattern17:53 London 1851: the Crystal Palace25:45 Sydenham 1936: the Crystal Palace fire31:55 Chat33:40 Philadelphia 187637:47 Chat: Luna Park + plugs40:55 Bell, Heinz & the Liberty arm47:04 Paris 188951:55 The Galerie des Machines54:49 Human zoos58:09 Chat: Turkmenistan1:04:07 Chicago 1893: the White City1:07:39 Built on a swamp in 2 years?1:23:15 Wrap-up💛 SUPPORT THE SHOW🎮 Play my free game, Lost Photos of the Old World: https://theimprobabledreamer.itch.io/lost-photos📖 An Improbable Atlas (paperback): https://a.co/d/07vWFI99🌳 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/theimprobabledreamer🛍️ Merch: https://the-improbable-dreamer-shop.fourthwall.com☕ Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/TheDoctor3940📰 The Dreamer Weekly (free, Sundays): https://jakes-newsletter-99912c.beehiiv.com/subscribe✈️ Telegram: https://t.me/TheDoctorregenerated📺 Live Tue, Thu & Fri 10:30 PM CTQuestion everything.#questioneverything #worldsfair #whitecity #crystalpalace #oldworld
The Missing Thousand Years: Who Rewrote Our Timeline? | QE Ep 96On this solo episode of Questioning Everything, Jake went through the stones carved with J746, J787 and J725 and asked a simple question. In Latin, Jesus was IESUS, and I and J were once the same letter. So was that first "digit" really a 1, or did it mean "the year of Jesus"? From there he covered how the AD count was invented by one monk in 525, the missing year zero, the Donation of Constantine and other admitted forgeries, and Scaliger and Petavius building the timeline. He also covered the 10 days Pope Gregory deleted and the 11 Britain "annihilated" in 1752. Then came the Phantom Time hypothesis, Fomenko's New Chronology, the old Roman 10-month calendar and the 13-moon year. He ended on Revelation 20, Gog and Magog on the Tartaria maps, and whether we're living in the little season.

Why did the airships disappear? Jake Castrey (The Improbable Dreamer) joins Flat Earth Dave on Deep Inside The Rabbit Hole for a wide-open conversation about the old world: star forts as a lost power grid, ancient city layouts that look like circuit boards, Turkmenistan's empty white city, Kazakhstan's pyramid, orphan trains, mooring masts on the Empire State Building, flying cruise ships and Tesla's airship, melted castles, and whether Himalayan salt is something stranger than rock.CHAPTERS0:00 Why Did the Airships Disappear?1:16 Meet Jake + The Improbable Atlas4:54 Star Forts & the Old-World Power Grid11:30 Ancient Cities vs. Circuit Boards13:57 AI, the Creator & the Edge of the Realm19:59 Turkmenistan: The Empty White City29:40 Kazakhstan's UN Pyramid & Stadium "Eyes"34:20 1776, Orphan Trains & Asylums39:30 Quick Detour42:54 Mooring Masts & the Empire State Building46:53 Flying Cruise Ships & the Hindenburg52:15 Sky Carriers, Endless Range & Tesla's Airship1:03:53 Melted Castles & Solar Lenses1:09:50 Himalayan Salt: Petrified Flesh?1:13:19 Where to Find Jake & Dave━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━🔭 JAKE CASTREY | THE IMPROBABLE DREAMERHost of Questioning Everything━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━🔗 All my links: https://linktr.ee/theimprobabledreamer📖 An Improbable Atlas (paperback): https://a.co/d/07vWFI99👕 Merch: https://the-improbable-dreamer-shop.fourthwall.com📰 The Dreamer Weekly (free, Sundays): https://jakes-newsletter-99912c.beehiiv.com/subscribe☕ Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/TheDoctor3940━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━🌍 FLAT EARTH DAVE | DAVID WEISSDeep Inside The Rabbit Hole (DITRH)━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━🌐 Website + Flat Earth Clock App: https://flatearthdave.com▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flatearthdave📺 Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/FEDinterviews🐦 X: https://x.com/FlatEarthDaveX💬 Locals: https://flatearthdave.locals.comMusic: Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0.#history #oldworld #tartaria #airships #flatearth
Peter Forhan came back for Episode 95 of Questioning Everything, and for the first time we took the show outside, live. It was high noon on a rooftop in Shenzhen, China, and Peter brought a lens that concentrates sunlight a thousand times to show what "sunfire" can do.Peter exploded a chunk of pyrite (it made both of us jump), melted pewter into a shot-glass mold and turned it into a little tin "goose," and heated obsidian until a single tap split it, his case for how the old world could have quarried and shaped stone without lasers. We also covered Prometheus, Roman self-healing concrete and stone worked at the "wax" stage. He showed how a hidden lens can make anyone look like a wizard, and we compared notes on moonlight reading about 4 degrees colder.When the clouds rolled in, we moved to Peter's theory that Rome crossed the Atlantic, the Washington statues, and a one-star flag in the Maryland State House painting. We closed on the Eye of the Sahara: Plato's ringed Atlantis west of the Pillars of Hercules, and what looks like a flood path running out to the Atlantic.The clouds cost us the brick-melting demo, so we'll have Peter back for round two. The demos are very visual, so watch the full video on YouTube if you're listening here.Having a guest on isn't an endorsement. Nothing here is medical advice. Never look at the sun or focused sunlight, and don't try lens experiments without eye protection.

Brian of The Demon Erasers came back for Episode 94 of Questioning Everything, live. His first visit (Ep 75, "Satan's Little Season") became one of our most-watched shows, and he left a lot of doors open. This time he walked back through them with old books, old money and old maps on screen: what if the thousand years already happened?We covered the headless saints of the old hagiographies, an 1837 magazine that mentions a "lapse of more than 2,000 years," and an 1812 medal that reads "the Messiah has reigned." We asked why Washington was carved like a Roman emperor and painted among the gods, and what's sitting in the U.S. Capitol Crypt under the rotunda. Brian brought out a 1587 map with a "Region of Giants" and a compass star that looks painted over. We talked rapture vs. raptor and why the catacombs hold mostly skulls and leg bones, then asylums, orphan trains and "the rest of the dead" in Revelation 20. From there it was Renaissance names that read like titles, the Mikoshi "Ark" in Japan, Bible stories in ancient Chinese characters, Prajapati in the Rig Veda, and Josephus' account of chariots in the clouds before 70 AD. We closed with the titan face in the Antarctic ice and the "graveyard of titans" at the tip of South America. Chat brought great questions all night, and Brian's big 1587 map is coming to demonerasers.com.Having a guest on isn't an endorsement.
