  3. 0:04>> [music]
  4. 0:10>> An old Hopi man was walking along a
  5. 0:12desert highway when a minister pulled
  6. 0:14over and gave him a ride.
  7. 0:16The old man told the minister about a
  8. 0:18prophecy, nine signs and then the end of
  9. 0:21the world. The Hopi take the prophecy so
  10. 0:24seriously, they warned the United
  11. 0:26Nations because by the 1990s eight signs
  12. 0:29came true. The last sign is the
  13. 0:31appearance of a new blue star.
  14. 0:35In 2025, something flew into our solar
  15. 0:37system. Some called it a comet, some
  16. 0:40called it a machine, but whatever it
  17. 0:42was, it looked like a star. But when it
  18. 0:44came around the sun, that star turned
  19. 0:47blue.
  20. 0:57>> The USS Saratoga
  21. 0:59Good news. Good news. I've acquired a
  22. 1:02liquid asset.
  23. 1:03>> What did you buy?
  24. 1:04>> I can neither confirm nor deny.
  25. 1:06>> You're wearing a captain's hat.
  26. 1:08>> The hat is classified.
  27. 1:11>> What was that?
  28. 1:12>> Uh swap guest.
  29. 1:14>> So, did you buy the hot tub boat after I
  30. 1:16told you not to?
  31. 1:17>> The earlier reports of a hot tub boat
  32. 1:19were premature. It was a weather
  33. 1:21balloon.
  34. 1:22>> With my credit card?
  35. 1:23>> Uh the transaction involved a card. I I
  36. 1:26I won't speculate on ownership.
  37. 1:28>> You know there's AI that analyzes what
  38. 1:30someone says and flags where they might
  39. 1:32be deceptive.
  40. 1:33>> Yeah, I'm sorry. This greeting is over.
  41. 1:35No more questions.
  42. 1:36>> Well, let's start with liquid asset.
  43. 1:39>> Fine, I bought the hot tub boat, uh but
  44. 1:42you told me to.
  45. 1:43>> I absolutely did not.
  46. 1:44>> I have the voicemail. Hey buddy, the hot
  47. 1:48tub boat, do it. Use my credit card, the
  48. 1:51one in the freezer.
  49. 1:52>> That sounds like me, but I never said
  50. 1:54that.
  51. 1:54>> Uh sounds like someone hasn't been
  52. 1:56transparent with the American people.
  53. 1:58>> Someone cloned my
  54. 2:01Good thing the AI checks for deep fakes,
  55. 2:02too.
  56. 2:04How do they know about the freezer card?
  57. 2:06>> I may have mentioned it on a forum.
  58. 2:08>> Which forum?
  59. 2:09>> All of them.
  60. 2:09>> Who sold you the boat?
  61. 2:11>> Lovely man. Said it just like you.
  62. 2:13>> We're returning the boat.
  63. 2:15>> Oh, before we make any rash decisions,
  64. 2:18did you just declassify your way into
  65. 2:20today's sponsor?
  66. 2:23>> I can confirm. Around here, we don't
  67. 2:25take anything at face value.
  68. 2:27Whistleblower claims, government
  69. 2:28statements, public apologies, and that
  70. 2:31viral clip everyone's sharing, it might
  71. 2:33not be real. That's where deceptio.ai
  72. 2:35comes in. Now, Deceptio has built a
  73. 2:37version for everyone else, because we're
  74. 2:39all navigating the same web of deception
  75. 2:41every day. From the news and social
  76. 2:43media to emails and dating apps. Give
  77. 2:46Deceptio a written or spoken statement,
  78. 2:49and its proprietary AI analyzes the
  79. 2:51language for indicators of potential
  80. 2:53deception. You'll get a visual
  81. 2:54truthfulness score along with an
  82. 2:56explanation of what was flagged and
  83. 2:58where to dig deeper. It also analyzes
  84. 3:00images, audio, footage, and PDFs for
  85. 3:03signs they were created by AI, edited by
  86. 3:05AI, or digitally altered. That [music]
  87. 3:08shocking photo, that leaked recording,
  88. 3:10that clip of someone saying something
  89. 3:11they swear they never said, now you can
  90. 3:13investigate it yourself. Stop taking
  91. 3:16everything at face value. Tap the link

  94. 3:21>> Link in the description, 50% off.
  95. 3:24>> That's it.
  96. 3:25>> Okay, Deceptio says the voicemail was
  97. 3:27fake and the other 11.
  98. 3:29>> Great. Now, did you use the freezer card
  99. 3:31for anything else?
  100. 3:32>> No.
  101. 3:33>> Run that through Deceptio.
  102. 3:35>> Okay, fine. There's a second hot tub
  103. 3:37boat, mirror on the ceiling. She's
  104. 3:39called the Wet Bandit.
  105. 3:49>> It was the summer of 1958. The old man
  106. 3:51introduced himself to the minister as
  107. 3:53White Feather, an elder of the Hopi Bear
  108. 3:55Clan.
  109. 3:56>> How did you know I'm a full-blooded
  110. 3:57Native American?
  111. 3:58>> Really?
  112. 3:59>> Yep, Chickasaw.
  113. 4:01>> Here it comes.
  114. 4:01>> The Chickasaw me naked and left her
  115. 4:03husband.
  116. 4:05>> [cough]
  117. 4:06>> Okay. Yeah, okay. Okay.
  118. 4:08Okay. Okay.
  119. 4:09>> As they drove through the heat of the
  120. 4:11American Southwest, White Feather told
  121. 4:13the minister that humanity was running
  122. 4:15out of time. He said the Hopi elders
  123. 4:17held an ancient prophecy passed down for
  124. 4:19generations. It was a countdown of nine
  125. 4:22signs
  126. 4:23>> [music]
  127. 4:23>> that would appear before the end of the
  128. 4:24world. Then White Feather started
  129. 4:26listing them.
  130. 4:27The first sign was the arrival of
  131. 4:29white-skinned men who would take the
  132. 4:31land and strike their enemies with
  133. 4:33thunder. When European settlers arrived
  134. 4:35with guns, the first sign was complete.
  135. 4:37[music] The second sign was the coming
  136. 4:39of spinning wheels filled with voices.
  137. 4:41In the 1800s, over 400,000 settlers
  138. 4:44rolled west across the plains in covered
  139. 4:46wagons. The third sign was a strange
  140. 4:49beast, like a buffalo, but with great
  141. 4:52long horns that would overrun the
  142. 4:53country. Within a few decades, settlers
  143. 4:56slaughtered 30 million buffalo and
  144. 4:58replaced them with millions of longhorn
  145. 5:00cattle.
  146. 5:02The fourth sign was snakes of iron
  147. 5:04crossing the land. By 1900, railroads
  148. 5:07had laid nearly 200,000 miles of steel
  149. 5:09track across the continent.
  150. 5:11>> Wow, 200,000 miles. They laid almost as
  151. 5:14much steel as Wilt Chamberlain.
  152. 5:17>> The fifth sign was a giant spider web
  153. 5:19crisscrossing the land. It was a web of
  154. 5:21wires. First the telegraph, then
  155. 5:24telephone, then power lines. Today more
  156. 5:27than 5 million miles of wire hang above
  157. 5:29the United States.
  158. 5:31But the prophecy could also apply to the
  159. 5:32entire planet. Every day we use wires to
  160. 5:35connect to something called the web.
  161. 5:38The sixth sign was rivers of stone that
  162. 5:41make pictures in the sun.
  163. 5:43Soon blacktop highways were everywhere.
  164. 5:45In the desert heat, asphalt creates
  165. 5:47mirages that shimmer like water. And
  166. 5:50under the right conditions, a mirage
  167. 5:51called a fata morgana bends light
  168. 5:54through the air and makes it look like
  169. 5:55an entire city is floating in the sky.
  170. 5:58White Feather listed these signs in
  171. 6:001958. The first six had already come
  172. 6:02true. But he said the seventh sign would
  173. 6:05be coming soon.
  174. 6:06And he was right.
  175. 6:14By 1958, six of the Hopi's nine signs of
  176. 6:16the apocalypse had come true. The
  177. 6:18seventh would happen just a few years
  178. 6:20later. The seventh sign was the sea
  179. 6:22turning black and many living things
  180. 6:25dying because of it.
  181. 6:26Well, 1967,
  182. 6:28a supertanker ruptured off the Isles of
  183. 6:30Scilly, dumping 35 million gallons of
  184. 6:33oil into the ocean. 15,000 birds died
  185. 6:36from that spill.
  186. 6:37In 1978, there was another spill off
  187. 6:39France, 68 million gallons. In 1979, two
  188. 6:44separate spills dumped over 230 million
  189. 6:47gallons of oil into the ocean.
  190. 6:49Just counting major oil spills since
  191. 6:521967,
  192. 6:53>> [music]
  193. 6:53>> over 1.3 billion gallons of oil has
  194. 6:56polluted the ocean.
  195. 6:57Nobody knows how many animals were
  196. 6:59killed, but estimates are over 500,000
  197. 7:02birds, 4,500 marine animals like seals
  198. 7:05and dolphins, thousands of sea turtles,
  199. 7:08millions of fish, and billions of
  200. 7:10mollusks, crabs, and other
  201. 7:12microcrustaceans.
  202. 7:15The eighth sign was young people with
  203. 7:17long hair trying to learn the ancient
  204. 7:19Hopi ways from tribal elders.
  205. 7:21In the 1960s, the counterculture
  206. 7:23movement exploded. Thousands of
  207. 7:25long-haired hippies drove into the Hopi
  208. 7:27villages in Arizona looking [music] for
  209. 7:29spiritual wisdom. So many camped on Hopi
  210. 7:31land that the tribal council banned them
  211. 7:34from the reservation.
  212. 7:35>> Whoa, banned by the tribal council.
  213. 7:37I wonder if they hired Chef Popes to
  214. 7:39deliver the news.
  215. 7:40>> By the end of 1968, only one sign
  216. 7:43remained. So, the Hopi waited and hoped.
  217. 7:46But, the following year, another Hopi
  218. 7:48warning came true.
  219. 7:50The Hopi elders warned that man must
  220. 7:52never go to the moon and bring pieces of
  221. 7:54it back to Earth. Taking rocks from the
  222. 7:56moon, even the smallest rocks, would
  223. 7:59disrespect the creator and break the
  224. 8:01Earth's natural balance. This would
  225. 8:03trigger earthquakes and violent weather.
  226. 8:07In July 1969, Apollo astronauts landed
  227. 8:10on the moon
  228. 8:11>> [music]
  229. 8:11>> and across six missions, they brought
  230. 8:13842 pounds of moon rock back to Earth.
  231. 8:17There have been five times as many
  232. 8:18severe weather disasters since we went
  233. 8:20to the moon compared to the years
  234. 8:21before.
  235. 8:22>> As you mean since Kubrick released his
  236. 8:24movie.
  237. 8:25>> Please, not not again.
  238. 8:26>> We never went to the moon and Buzz
  239. 8:28Aldrin's real and Paul is dead and so is
  240. 8:31the internet.
  241. 8:32>> As more and more signs came true, the
  242. 8:34Hopi knew they had to do something. For
  243. 8:36centuries, Hopi elders kept their
  244. 8:38prophecies locked away in underground
  245. 8:40prayer [music] rooms called kivas.
  246. 8:42Some elders wanted to warn the outside
  247. 8:43world while others insisted they had to
  248. 8:46stay silent. Under sacred law, they were
  249. 8:48forbidden to share the warnings with
  250. 8:50outsiders until a specific weapon fell
  251. 8:52from the sky, a gourd of ashes that
  252. 8:55would poison the land.
  253. 8:58That hadn't happened.
  254. 9:00Then a Hopi elder reminded the council
  255. 9:03that this weapon was already used. It
  256. 9:05was dropped on Japan in 1945.
  257. 9:18The prophecy called that weapon a gourd
  258. 9:20of ashes. It said a container full of
  259. 9:22ashes would fall from the air, boil the
  260. 9:24oceans and poison the land so nothing
  261. 9:27would grow for years.
  262. 9:31In August 1945, the United States
  263. 9:34dropped two atomic bombs on Japan. In a
  264. 9:36twist of evil irony, a lot of the
  265. 9:39uranium used to build the bombs was dug
  266. 9:41out of the desert around Hopi land. The
  267. 9:44gourd of ashes had fallen. The vow of
  268. 9:46silence was [music] over.
  269. 9:49A Hopi interpreter, Thomas Banyacya, was
  270. 9:51chosen to carry their warning to the
  271. 9:53House of Mica. That was their name for a
  272. 9:55great house of glass on the eastern edge
  273. 9:57of the continent, the United Nations
  274. 9:59headquarters in New York City. For
  275. 10:01years, Hopi elders traveled to New York
  276. 10:04to deliver the message. Every time the
  277. 10:06United Nations turned them away.
  278. 10:08Finally, in December 1992, the UN agreed
  279. 10:11[music] to listen. 83-year-old Thomas
  280. 10:13Banyacya walked up to the podium inside
  281. 10:15the United Nations General Assembly
  282. 10:16Hall, and almost every seat in the giant
  283. 10:19room was empty. Most diplomats didn't
  284. 10:21even bother to show up. Officials only
  285. 10:23gave Thomas 10 minutes at the very end
  286. 10:26of the day.
  287. 10:27>> Uh last slot of the day, huh? It's like
  288. 10:291:00 a.m. at an open mic, right after
  289. 10:31the prop comic and the and all the guys
  290. 10:34who do Christopher Walken impressions.
  291. 10:36Ugh.
  292. 10:37>> Thomas sprinkled sacred corn meal beside
  293. 10:38the microphone and delivered the warning
  294. 10:41in the Hopi language.
  295. 10:44>> Hopi spiritual leaders had an ancient
  296. 10:47prophecy that someday world leaders
  297. 10:50would gather in a great house of mica to
  298. 10:53solve the world problems without war.
  299. 10:56Today, you see increasing floods, more
  300. 10:59damaging hurricanes, hailstorms, [music]
  301. 11:02climate changes, and earthquakes as our
  302. 11:04prophecies said would come.
  303. 11:07If we humans do not wake up to the
  304. 11:09warnings, the great purification will
  305. 11:12come to destroy this world.
  306. 11:15>> The handful of delegates in the room
  307. 11:17clapped politely and walked out. Nobody
  308. 11:19took him seriously.
  309. 11:21That night, a massive storm hit New
  310. 11:23York. Extreme winds tore through the
  311. 11:25city, and 4 ft of water flooded the
  312. 11:28streets. The subway was shut down. Cars
  313. 11:31were underwater on the FDR Drive. Scuba
  314. 11:34divers were called in to rescue the
  315. 11:35drivers.
  316. 11:36>> [music]
  317. 11:37>> And, as if responding to Banyacya's
  318. 11:39warning, even the UN building flooded.
  319. 11:43How could an isolated desert tribe in
  320. 11:44Arizona know about atomic bombs, power
  321. 11:47grids, moon landings, and a flood at the
  322. 11:49United Nations?
  323. 11:51Well, because according to the Hopi,
  324. 11:53they've watched humanity destroy itself
  325. 11:54before.
  326. 11:56Three times.
  327. 11:58>> [music]
  328. 12:09[music]
  329. 12:10>> The Hopi say we are living in the fourth
  330. 12:12world. The first three worlds were wiped
  331. 12:14out every time humanity lost its way.
  332. 12:17>> [music]
  333. 12:17>> In the first world, humans and animals
  334. 12:19lived in harmony and shared their
  335. 12:21thoughts without conflict. But
  336. 12:23eventually men grew greedy and turned on
  337. 12:25each other. The creator knew this world
  338. 12:28[music] had to go. He spared only the
  339. 12:30faithful. They were led underground to
  340. 12:32live with the ant people who taught them
  341. 12:34that survival depends on cooperation and
  342. 12:37sharing. Above ground, volcanoes erupted
  343. 12:40and fire rained down across every corner
  344. 12:43of the earth. The world burned for a
  345. 12:45thousand [music] years. But below
  346. 12:47ground, the ant people shared their food
  347. 12:49with the humans until they almost
  348. 12:51starved.
  349. 12:51>> It's sharing food. You ever been to a
  350. 12:53picnic? Those little bastards shared
  351. 12:55nothing.
  352. 12:56>> When the fire stopped, the faithful
  353. 12:58returned to the surface [music] and the
  354. 13:00second world began. Villages grew into
  355. 13:02busy trading towns and the world
  356. 13:04prospered. But as trade grew profitable,
  357. 13:08merchants became obsessed with money and
  358. 13:10forgot the creator once again. But the
  359. 13:12creator was watching. He saw the path
  360. 13:14that mankind chose and decided to start
  361. 13:17over again. The second world wouldn't
  362. 13:20end with fire, it would end with ice.
  363. 13:22>> Fire, then ice. Finish the book, George.
  364. 13:27>> Two giant twin brothers stood at the
  365. 13:29north and south poles holding the planet
  366. 13:31steady. The creator ordered the twins to
  367. 13:34let go. The earth tipped off its axis,
  368. 13:37mountains crumbled, oceans spilled
  369. 13:39across the land, and the whole planet
  370. 13:41froze.
  371. 13:42>> The creator told them to let it go and
  372. 13:44the whole world froze.
  373. 13:46Uh Disney's lawyers would like a word.
  374. 13:50>> Once again, the faithful waited out the
  375. 13:52cataclysm underground with the ant
  376. 13:54people until the twins returned to the
  377. 13:56poles. The earth stabilized and the ice
  378. 13:59melted. That began the third world. Hopi
  379. 14:02elders carried the lessons from the
  380. 14:03previous two worlds into this one and
  381. 14:06this time people listened. Villages grew
  382. 14:08into cities and cities became high-tech
  383. 14:11nations. They built machines that could
  384. 14:13fly. But that technology made the people
  385. 14:15arrogant. They felt superior to the ant
  386. 14:18people, [music] and some believed they
  387. 14:20were more powerful than the creator.
  388. 14:22Then, the nations went to war, and
  389. 14:24millions died. It was time for the
  390. 14:26creator to try again.
  391. 14:29This time, the creator sent water. Waves
  392. 14:31higher than mountains rolled across the
  393. 14:33continents, and whole nations sank
  394. 14:35beneath the sea.
  395. 14:40The creator sealed the faithful inside
  396. 14:42giant hollow reeds until the water
  397. 14:44receded. When they paddled east toward
  398. 14:46new land, they watched the last islands
  399. 14:48of their old world sink behind them.
  400. 14:53The cities and the flying machines were
  401. 14:55gone, buried at the bottom of the ocean.
  402. 14:58According to the Hopi,
  403. 14:59those three lost worlds aren't just
  404. 15:01fairy tales. They say the entrance to
  405. 15:03that underground refuge is still right
  406. 15:05there in Arizona, deep inside the Grand
  407. 15:08Canyon.
  408. 15:09In April 1909, the Arizona Gazette
  409. 15:11reported that explorer G. E. Kincaid and
  410. 15:14a team from the Smithsonian actually
  411. 15:16found it, 2,000 ft up a sheer canyon
  412. 15:19wall. Kincaid entered a massive tunnel
  413. 15:21cut into solid rock. Inside was an
  414. 15:24underground city carved with hundreds of
  415. 15:26rooms, storage vaults filled with seeds,
  416. 15:28copper tools, and strange stone idols.
  417. 15:31The cavern was big enough to shelter
  418. 15:3350,000 people. Soon after the story
  419. 15:36broke, the Smithsonian denied the
  420. 15:37expedition ever happened, and the
  421. 15:39government made that part of the Grand
  422. 15:40Canyon off limits. I have a whole
  423. 15:43episode about that if you want to check
  424. 15:44it out.
  425. 15:46And across the canyon walls near the
  426. 15:47Hopi mesas, ancient rock carvings show
  427. 15:50the beings who sheltered humanity down
  428. 15:52in the dark. They have thin waists, long
  429. 15:55limbs, and oversized almond-shaped eyes
  430. 15:58that look just like modern gray aliens.
  431. 16:00In the Hopi language, the word for ant
  432. 16:02is anu, and the word for friend is naki.
  433. 16:06Put them together, and the ant people
  434. 16:08who came down from the sky were
  435. 16:10>> Yeah, new naki.
  436. 16:11>> Right. The same gods as the ancient
  437. 16:13Sumerians on the other side of the the
  438. 16:16>> Yeah, naki. This episode is cooking.
  439. 16:18>> You don't think this is a good episode?
  440. 16:22Researchers also mapped the Hopi
  441. 16:24villages on the three mesas in Arizona.
  442. 16:27The towns were built in the exact same
  443. 16:28pattern over Orion's belt, just like the
  444. 16:31pyramids in Giza.
  445. 16:33In the 1970s, a NASA engineer who helped
  446. 16:35design the Saturn V moon rocket traveled
  447. 16:37to Arizona. He wanted to ask a Hopi
  448. 16:40elder about the flying machines of the
  449. 16:42third world. The elder told him the
  450. 16:44civilization was a sunken continent in
  451. 16:46the Pacific called Kaskara. The craft
  452. 16:48were curved metal shields that hummed as
  453. 16:51they flew. They ran on magnetic power
  454. 16:54and carried directed energy beams that
  455. 16:56could vaporize a whole city in a
  456. 16:57blinding flash of light.
  457. 17:00According to the Hopi, those sky beings
  458. 17:02and their flying shields didn't vanish
  459. 17:04forever. They're waiting to return when
  460. 17:07our current world reaches the end.
  461. 17:09When the survivors came into this world,
  462. 17:11the fourth world, a guardian spirit gave
  463. 17:14them a plan for staying in balance. He
  464. 17:16carved that plan onto sacred stone
  465. 17:18tablets. One tablet is small, about 4 in
  466. 17:21square, and made of dark stone. Carved
  467. 17:23on the front is a figure with no head.
  468. 17:26Any Hopi leader who betrays the sacred
  469. 17:28plan agrees to lose his head.
  470. 17:30>> Betray the people, lose your head. I'd
  471. 17:33put that in the Constitution and
  472. 17:35Congress is empty by Tuesday.
  473. 17:37>> And one corner of the stone tablet was
  474. 17:39broken off. According to the prophecy,
  475. 17:42the day that missing piece comes back,
  476. 17:44our world ends.
  477. 17:45The Hopi have a word for what destroys
  478. 17:47worlds, Koyaanisqatsi.
  479. 17:50It means life at a balance.
  480. 17:52Look around.
  481. 17:53Do you think our world is in balance?
  482. 18:06The Hopi had a lost white brother,
  483. 18:07Pahana.
  484. 18:09Long ago, he walked east taking that
  485. 18:10missing corner of the stone tablet with
  486. 18:12him. The prophecy says that at the end
  487. 18:14of the fourth world, Pahana will return
  488. 18:16from the east carrying the missing
  489. 18:18piece.
  490. 18:19When he fits that corner back onto the
  491. 18:21tablet, the great purification will
  492. 18:23begin. The great purification starts
  493. 18:26with the end of the fourth world, our
  494. 18:27world. First, natural disasters like
  495. 18:30earthquakes and floods, then global
  496. 18:33conflict.
  497. 18:35Wars will break out everywhere until
  498. 18:37there is a final cataclysmic war.
  499. 18:39Then humanity will be tested. [music]
  500. 18:41Those who remain pure will be saved.
  501. 18:43Those consumed by greed and materialism
  502. 18:45will die.
  503. 18:48Outside their oldest village Oraibi, the
  504. 18:50elders carved their warning into
  505. 18:51Prophecy Rock, a large sandstone
  506. 18:53boulder. The carving shows two paths for
  507. 18:56humanity. One path is in balance with
  508. 18:59nature and it's a very long line. The
  509. 19:01other path warns of technology without
  510. 19:04spirit. Along that path sits three
  511. 19:06circles marking three great shakings of
  512. 19:10the world. [music]
  513. 19:12Some think those are the world wars.
  514. 19:14Past the third circle, the line breaks
  515. 19:16apart, [music] then it just stops.
  516. 19:20The Hopi still have the sacred tablet.
  517. 19:22The keeper of the tablet has said the
  518. 19:23prophecies are playing out like a movie.
  519. 19:26And our movie ends after the ninth sign
  520. 19:28when a new blue star appears. And in
  521. 19:302025, it did.
  522. 19:37>> [music]
  523. 19:41>> Back on the desert highway in 1958,
  524. 19:43White Feather gave the minister
  525. 19:45>> [music]
  526. 19:45>> the final warning.
  527. 19:47>> You will hear of a dwelling place in the
  528. 19:49heavens above the earth
  529. 19:52that shall fall with a great crash.
  530. 19:56It will appear as a blue star.
  531. 19:59Very soon after this,
  532. 20:01the ceremonies of my people will cease.
  533. 20:05>> White Feather's ninth sign had two
  534. 20:06parts, a dwelling place in the heavens
  535. 20:09falling with a great crash and the
  536. 20:11appearance of a blue star.
  537. 20:13>> [music]
  538. 20:13>> Then in June 2024, NASA paid SpaceX $843
  539. 20:17million
  540. 20:19to build a special spacecraft. It's only
  541. 20:21job is to grab the International Space
  542. 20:23Station and crash it into the ocean
  543. 20:26around 2030. The largest home ever built
  544. 20:28in space [music]
  545. 20:29is already scheduled to fall with a
  546. 20:31great crash.
  547. 20:32>> Yeah, I'd pay green money to see the
  548. 20:34Property Brothers try to fix that one.
  549. 20:36Uh hey, did you know one of them is
  550. 20:37married to Zooey Deschanel?
  551. 20:39>> I didn't and I don't care.
  552. 20:40>> It's so weird. I I feel like no girl
  553. 20:42should be aiming high up, but no.
  554. 20:44>> And what about the blue star? For
  555. 20:46decades the Hopi watched the sky for a
  556. 20:48new blue star. In October 2007, they
  557. 20:51thought it arrived when Comet Holmes
  558. 20:53exploded near the Earth. Its brightness
  559. 20:56increased a million times. Its glowing
  560. 20:58cloud was bigger than the sun.
  561. 21:00But it burned yellow, not blue.
  562. 21:03Then in July 2025, another object showed
  563. 21:06up. Astronomers named it 3I Atlas. It
  564. 21:10was only the third object ever seen
  565. 21:11entering our solar system from another
  566. 21:13star. And from the moment telescopes
  567. 21:16locked onto it, nothing about its
  568. 21:17behavior looked natural. The object
  569. 21:20vented pure nickel gas and sped up in
  570. 21:22ways gravity couldn't [music] explain.
  571. 21:24Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb warned that
  572. 21:273I Atlas could be alien technology. And
  573. 21:30most comets approach the sun from steep
  574. 21:32angles above or below the planets, not
  575. 21:343I Atlas.
  576. 21:36>> [music]
  577. 21:36>> It flew almost flat in the plane of the
  578. 21:38planets, passing close to Jupiter, Mars,
  579. 21:40and Venus.
  580. 21:41>> Yeah, that proves it was flown by
  581. 21:44intelligent aliens.
  582. 21:46They were smart enough to avoid Uranus.
  583. 21:52>> In October 2025, the object flew behind
  584. 21:55the sun. This made it invisible to
  585. 21:56telescopes, but when space probes caught
  586. 21:59it coming back around, it was burning
  587. 22:01bright blue,
  588. 22:02>> [music]
  589. 22:02>> as bright as any star.
  590. 22:04Eight signs have already come true. The
  591. 22:06dwelling place in the heavens is
  592. 22:07scheduled to fall and the blue star is
  593. 22:10here.
  594. 22:22An old Hopi elder on a desert highway
  595. 22:24lists nine signs before the end of the
  596. 22:26world. One by one, eight signs come true
  597. 22:29from railroads and oil spills to the
  598. 22:31internet [music] and the atomic bomb.
  599. 22:33Elders warn the UN, a storm floods
  600. 22:35Manhattan, and in 2025 an object from
  601. 22:37another star around the sun burning
  602. 22:39bright blue. I think
  603. 22:41that's the whole legend. It's a great
  604. 22:42one. But how much of it is true? Well,
  605. 22:45the core Hopi prophecy is completely
  606. 22:47real and so are the sacred stone
  607. 22:49tablets. Outside witnesses have seen and
  608. 22:51photographed those dark stone tablets
  609. 22:53for more than a century. And according
  610. 22:55to the elders, the Hopi are still
  611. 22:57waiting for that missing corner of the
  612. 22:58tablet to return. [music]
  613. 23:00In 2017, Thomas Banyacya's son Tommy
  614. 23:03explained what the elders really meant
  615. 23:04by their warnings. His father grew up
  616. 23:06speaking Hopi and learned English from a
  617. 23:08Bible, which is why he used the word
  618. 23:10prophecy. Tommy said that wasn't really
  619. 23:12the right word. To the Hopi, it wasn't a
  620. 23:14fixed calendar or future gadgets. It was
  621. 23:18a warning passed down through
  622. 23:19generations about cause and effect and
  623. 23:21what happens when humanity falls out of
  624. 23:23balance.
  625. 23:24Thomas Banyacya's 1992 speech at the
  626. 23:26United Nations is real, too. He really
  627. 23:28did warn the General Assembly about
  628. 23:30floods and storms on December 10th,
  629. 23:321992. The next morning, one of the worst
  630. 23:35storms in New York history slammed into
  631. 23:36the city, flooding highways and shutting
  632. 23:38down the subways.
  633. 23:40Now, there's no official record that the
  634. 23:42UN building itself flooded. That detail
  635. 23:44came from a note attached to copies of
  636. 23:46his speech years later. Still, the
  637. 23:47timing of that storm was an eerie
  638. 23:49coincidence. So, the ancient warning is
  639. 23:51real. What about the specific checklist
  640. 23:54of modern inventions and events? Well,
  641. 23:56most of those were made to fit after the
  642. 23:58events already happened. Start with the
  643. 24:00three destroyed worlds and the flying
  644. 24:01shields. In 1963, writer Frank Waters
  645. 24:05published a bestseller about the Hopi.
  646. 24:06Waters worked with a Hopi spokesperson
  647. 24:09who took genuine tribal stories about
  648. 24:11past world cycles and filtered them
  649. 24:13through 1960s sci-fi language, coining
  650. 24:16phrases like flying shields. When the
  651. 24:18book came out, the UFO and New Age
  652. 24:20movements ran wild with it. Later,
  653. 24:22historian Armin Geertz tracked every
  654. 24:25recorded Hopi prophecy back to the
  655. 24:261830s. He found that specific
  656. 24:29predictions about cobwebs of wire, the
  657. 24:31atomic bomb, and landing on the moon
  658. 24:33only showed up in recorded speeches
  659. 24:35after those technologies already
  660. 24:37existed. The same goes for White Feather
  661. 24:39and his list of nine signs from 1958.
  662. 24:42Nobody's ever found the minister who
  663. 24:43supposedly picked up White Feather on
  664. 24:45that desert highway.
  665. 24:46>> Yeah, naked desert highway. Cool wind in
  666. 24:49my fins. Fresh smell of eucalyptus and
  667. 24:53something rhymes with fins.
  668. 24:55>> Do Do you mind?
  669. 24:56>> Sorry, sorry. It was too easy. Uh go
  670. 24:58ahead.
  671. 24:59>> And there is no traditional Hopi record
  672. 25:00of the nine signs. That checklist didn't
  673. 25:02appear in print until 1980 in a new age
  674. 25:05book about earth changes. And by 1980,
  675. 25:07the first eight signs were already
  676. 25:09history from railroads and highways to
  677. 25:11oil spills and hippies. After that, the
  678. 25:13internet added its own layers. In the
  679. 25:15Hopi language, the ant people are called
  680. 25:17Anu Sinom, not Anunnaki. A writer
  681. 25:20attached the Sumerian ending onto the
  682. 25:21word in 2006 to manufacture an ancient
  683. 25:24alien connection. And while the
  684. 25:26interstellar object through Atlas really
  685. 25:28did turn bright blue near the sun in
  686. 25:292025, NASA confirmed it's a natural
  687. 25:32comet. When solar heat baked the ice, it
  688. 25:34lit up carbon gas that glows blue, just
  689. 25:37like a gas stove. Without that
  690. 25:38checklist, the blue comet isn't a
  691. 25:40doomsday countdown, it's just cool
  692. 25:42astronomy. But the Hopi didn't need to
  693. 25:44predict railroads, the internet, or
  694. 25:46space stations before they were built.
  695. 25:48That's not what makes their warning
  696. 25:49real. They weren't saying avoid
  697. 25:51technology. They were warning against
  698. 25:53developing technology that outruns the
  699. 25:56human spirit.
  700. 25:57Think about AI. AI is so powerful that
  701. 26:00we don't completely understand it. It's
  702. 26:02outrunning us.
  703. 26:04AI has no soul, no conscience, no
  704. 26:07wisdom. It only knows what we teach it.
  705. 26:09It's a mirror of our spirit. We're
  706. 26:12teaching AI about greed, division, and
  707. 26:14war. We should be teaching AI honesty,
  708. 26:17curiosity, and restraint.
  709. 26:19AI can either be the greatest invention
  710. 26:20of mankind
  711. 26:22or the end of it.
  712. 26:24Two paths. The Hopi had spent 100 years
  713. 26:27warning us about the two paths. One of
  714. 26:29peace and enlightenment that continues
  715. 26:31forever. The other path worships
  716. 26:33technology and money. That path is
  717. 26:35chaotic and short.
  718. 26:37Which path do you think we're on?
