the enigmatic and icy continent of

Antarctica is essentially a huge island

at the bottom of the planet

Antarctica's weird realities are Wilder

Than Fiction

excellent scientific insights can be

obtained from Antarctica a further

surprise is the little known Perils of

Antarctica that might potentially kill

you

several people have worked hard to learn

some of Antarctica's greatest secrets

and the continent has been the focus of

extensive exploration

over the years one such figure has

undoubtedly been Joe Rogan the host of

the world's most well-known podcast many

scientists and adventurers who have

discussed some of the lesser-known

secrets of this region have appeared on

his podcast

one of the strangest and most startling

facts about Antarctica that Joe Rogan

has revealed let's find out

[Music]

although the world's population may have

Antarctica permanently imprinted or may

we say Frozen in their memories as the

legendary island continent of penguins

the continent of ice was only very

recently discovered throughout ancient

times people have conjured up the idea

of Antarctica as a frictious location a

dubbed Terror Australis which is Latin

for southern land but the first known

human sizing of the continent was during

a Russian Voyage in 1820

a wide range of people from sealers to

geographers were interested in the polar

scenery the first recorded human

footstep on Antarctica was made in 1821

by American sealer John Davis who

traveled from his home in New Haven

Connecticut to Hughes Bay Antarctica and

came ashore there this was one of the

major turning points in the gradual

discovery of Antarctica another

significant event occurred in 1899 when

carsten borskravink and his crew sailed

in the Southern Cross to Cape Adair to

overwinter there for the first time ever

as humans the magnetic South Pole was

attained by 1909 and the geographic

South Pole by 1911. one may

understandably assume that a trip to

Antarctica would entail aimless roaming

around the Frozen landscape without much

care clad only in an insulated suit

reminiscent of space exploration

equipment

yet if you don't take enough precautions

to stay out of Antarctica's bad

neighborhoods you could lose your life

by Falling hundreds of feet while on

level land

huge crevices that are several hundred

feet deep rip into the continent many of

which are invisible until you take a

step into the chasm a genuine Hazard

results when you combine glare with

featureless ice

in Antarctica where the deceptively

featureless icy landscape can hide the

catastrophic weakness in the terrain the

Earth actually could swallow you up

a crevice swallowed up an Antarctic

research vehicle in 1965 killing all of

the crew who were inside

on October 14th of that year an

expedition commanded by John Ross Jeremy

Bailey David Wilde and John Wilson who

went in a Muscat tractor were getting

close to the east Antarctic Halley

research station when a crevice suddenly

formed the vehicle's cab was broken

after a 100-foot drop Ross was spared to

tragic occurrence since he was not in

the cab the cab was crushed in the fall

but bayley who was seriously hurt

managed to stay alive long enough to

shout to Ross who let him know that wild

and Wilson were dead before he too

passed away

more than 10 years have passed since Joe

Rogan started his podcast he and his

guests have developed quite a few

outlandish beliefs and disputes

throughout that time because of this you

don't often see job really shocked but

in 2022 he experienced a startling

Revelation that left him speechless in

an episode of his Joe Rogan Experience

podcast from August 22 Joe invited Sam

Tripoli to discuss the history of

operation high jump a military drill in

Antarctica that featured President Harry

Truman during the 20th century

the United States Navy Antarctic

developments program was the official

name of the military initiative which

was put into motion between 1946 and

1947 under the direction of rear Admiral

Richard E Byrd task 468 also known as

operation high jump is a fully

legitimate military operation that has

been extensively documented for the

training and testing of military troops

and equipment in Antarctica

Admiral Richard Evelyn bird oversaw a

group of 4 000 troops as they launched a

benign assault on the icy continent

a communication ship to supply ships two

icebreakers two seaplane tenders a type

of small aircraft carrier two tankers

two destroyers an aircraft carrier and a

submarine containing task 468 the fleet

assigned to the task

the Mount Olympus the task force

communication ship was particularly

equipped with 50 radio operators and

served as its flagship

those unfortunate Penguins had no chance

it was not the intention of those 13

ships and over 5 000 men to travel to

Antarctica and lecture the Penguins and

seals instead the vast force was

intended to achieve what could be

divided into three broad objectives to

train personnel and Equipment under

Antarctic conditions to consolidate and

expand American claims in the Antarctic

while scouting potential locations for

American bases and developing methods

for their establishment and maintenance

and lastly to advance scientific

understanding of the continent

it was obvious that this was a military

expedition in Antarctica the Pentagon

understood that a conflict with the USSR

would necessitate polar fighting and

that it would be terrifying to put it

mildly

the Pentagon also wanted to maintain its

public profile the United States

military ensured it would firmly remain

within the Public's field of vision by

launching a mission of such magnificent

grandeur

operation high jump like other

government initiatives is the subject of

several conspiracy theories that claim

it had ties to the Nazis and alien

Technologies

Sam tripley mainly discussed the more

entertaining aspects of the operation

and when he started to explain some

theories Joe Rogan was taken aback

The Missing 411 theory was one of the

theories Tripoli brought up according to

this Theory a number of people have gone

missing and have been associated with

similar traits many of whom are

intelligent and of German descent

Sam on the other hand informs Joe that

in accordance with notebooks kept by

Admiral Byrd a Navy Commander had spoken

with a Nazi unidentified flying object

UFO Sam revealed that the Nazis had

essentially agreed to deploy

extraterrestrial technology during World

War II however it's unclear as to why

this was never employed in the real

struggle or why aliens remained in

Antarctica after the fighting was over

nonetheless according to Sam the

president was eventually informed by

operation high jump senior brass that

they had to accept the aliens and

Striker deal with them the president

complied making a deal with the aliens

and permitting them to use humans as

test subjects

the world's oldest pyramids

when you hear about pyramids thoughts of

Egypt probably immediately come to mind

the Pyramids of Giza of the most

well-known pyramids in the entire world

and exhibit incredible Ingenuity and

originality

the oldest structures in the world today

however are not the Egyptian pyramids

pyramids that have been found in

Antarctica hold that distinction

in 2016 satellites circling the

Antarctic region noticed a peculiar

formation that seemed to be looking out

from the ice

the existence of man-made pyramids in

Antarctica at the very least serves to

support the theory that people lived in

this region before we knew anything

about them some researchers even contend

that the existence of these pyramids

demonstrates the existence of a

sophisticated human civilization in this

area but as of right now it is

impossible to collect much proof because

that region is essentially unreachable

although it seems unlikely that a

civilization could have existed in such

a harsh and inhospitable environment as

Antarctica a group of geologists from

the German Alfred Wagner Institute for

Arctic Marine research visited

Antarctica in 2017 and took core samples

from the Frozen sea floor there

they set out to determine what the

climate of the continent would have been

like in the past and what they

discovered was pretty intriguing

in essence the geological team is

speculating that despite the possibility

that there isn't much life in Antarctica

now this wasn't always the case a

meteorite strike did not destroy

Antarctica

since ice dominates Antarctica it has a

very unusual environment making the

continents Frozen wastelands the world's

most popular location for searching for

extraterrestrial objects not small green

men but meteorites one of the biggest

predictors of Extinction in the known

Cosmos is meteorites every time a

meteorite strikes a planet or Surface

disaster is almost certain just take a

moment to recall the dinosaurs those

creatures were probably alone in their

prehistoric Utopia when all of a sudden

a meteorite struck forcing the planet to

essentially restart

ninety percent of all meteorite fines

worldwide have been made in Antarctica

which is astounding as the ice is pushed

up against the trans Antarctic mountains

and erodes a fascinating phenomenon

unlike anything else on Earth the

continent's ice and glacial activity

capture conceals in quantity as

Clockwork

among the meteorites found in the

Antarctic certain extraordinary examples

stand out for their size and the tales

they can impart the largest

extraterrestrial Stone found thus far

was two feet by two feet by a foot and a

half and it included complex mineral

salts that were left over from

evaporation processes chondritic

meteorites from Antarctica hold the key

to understanding the characteristics of

the early Solar System since pre-earth

water has been preserved in the

meteorite's hydrous mineral crystals

the meteorites collected are also in

excellent condition and for examining

due to the cold climate of Antarctica

and the absence of Flora or eroding

Sands

it's interesting to note that there may

have been an even greater meteorite

strike in Antarctica one that may have

occurred before the demise of the

dinosaurs and that according to some

sources including Joe Rogan may have

been considerably worse

recently Joe invited content producer

and author Ben kirkwick and YouTube

famous independent researcher Jimmy

corsetti to appear on his podcast the

three guys talked at length about early

humanity and their capacity to endure

extinction level events

according to accounts a collaborative

effort between NASA and the German

Aerospace Center in 2006 led to the

discovery of this meteorite crater this

mission's goal was to attempt to measure

patterns in the earth's gravitational

field which would ultimately reveal the

distribution of Mass on the globe and

variations in the metric Through Time

according to scientists the meteorite

that had to have created such a large

crater could have undoubtedly caused the

worldwide extinction level event it is

thought that the Collision made the

planet extremely unfriendly to all forms

of life by causing a significant amount

of dust to rise into the atmosphere

only a few prehistoric shellfish must

have survived the Fallout after months

of darkness and Caustic Acid Rain

rendered the Earth inhospitable

the dinosaurs who later evolved into the

planet's dominant species over the

following 200 million years before

another asteroid struck and wiped them

out as well would have descended from

the muscles themselves

without a doubt Antarctica is a hub of

mystery and has had its fair share of

conspiracies over time

a large staircase bizarre buildings

alien spacecraft and peculiar

constructions like elongated skulls and

unusual pyramids have pushed the belief

that Antarctica once supported

extraterrestrial life or still does

each year there are numerous reports of

UFO sightings and Google Earth has

captured some strange activity that is

believed to be the work of

extraterrestrials

why would an alien civilization visiting

Earth pick Antarctica above any other

location

experts say that just because Antarctica

has become so inhospitable to humans due

to its extreme cold doesn't mean that

other living forms won't be able to

survive there it's feasible that an

alien culture interested in visiting our

planet might feel more at home in

Antarctica than anywhere else
