[Music]

the doors are made of solid bronze each

one weighing thousands of pounds they

don't just keep people out they keep

something in behind them miles of

underground corridors shelves stacked

with ancient books locked away letters

and manuscripts written by hands long

turned to dust there are no Public tours

no casual visitors No cameras allowed

it's called the Vatican secret archives

and it's one of the most restricted

places on Earth what's inside documents

so dangerous they could rewrite history

evidence of extraterrestrial contact

buried before the world could see it

lost gospels forbidden texts even

blueprints for controlling all of

humanity but here's the part that should

keep you up at night for over 400 years

the Vatican has locked these secrets

away sealed untouched off limits the

question is why what could be so

dangerous so Earth shattering that it

needs to be hidden for centuries and

more importantly who decides what we're

allowed to know because once you control

knowledge you don't just control the

past you control reality itself

[Music]

for nearly 2000 years the Catholic

church has shaped human history not just

through faith but through Power

control and suppression they've declared

which books are holy and which are

heretical they've silent scientists

executed the cers and Rewritten history

in their favor and every time someone

asked too many questions they made sure

those questions died with them the

Galileo Affair when Galileo proved the

Earth was in the center of the universe

the Vatican put him on trial and forced

him to renounce his own discover iies

his punishment house arrest for

Life The Forbidden texts over the

centuries the church has banned burned

or outright erased books that challenged

their Authority entire gospels written

by early followers of Christ were

declared Blasphemous and

vanished then we have the Inquisition a

brutal campaign to purge heresy spanning

centuries people were tortured and

executed often for simply asking the

wrong

questions the 1940s coverups as World

War II raged the Vatican played both

sides forging secret deals with the A's

Powers while publicly maintaining

neutrality the full truth still buried

yeah let's all trust the organization

that literally ran an international

torture department for centuries just

pray and Obey folks oh and don't ask

about that pile of banned books and

Silent Scholars over there total

coincidence all right all right I hear

you but let's be fair every Empire has

skeletons in its closets the difference

most of them don't claim Divine

Authority while holding the shovel and

this is just the history we know about

folks if this is what they've done in

the open then what kind of secrets are

locked away in the archives

[Music]

the Vatican archives aren't just any

Library this isn't your local Church's

back room with some old Scrolls this is

the most restricted collection of

historical documents on Earth and not

just anyone can walk in over 50 miles of

underground shelves

exist documents dating back over a

thousand years texts letters and

manuscripts some so sensitive even popes

aren't allowed to see them all so who

holds the keys well at the top of the

chain is the prefect of the Vatican

Apostolic archives think of him as the

CEO of secrecy appointed by the pope

himself his job decide what gets out and

what stays buried

then there's the Secretariat of State

the vatican's intelligence arm if the

pope is the head of the church this

office is its shadow government they

manage Vatican diplomacy classified

Communications and you guessed it the

flow of information in and out of the

archives oh sure let's just trust a

2,000 year old Empire that literally had

its own Army tortured people for heresy

and somehow still operates as its own

independent country no red flags there

definitely the kind of guys I'd let

babysit my classified documents I mean

fair but let's be honest wend if the

Vatican wanted to take over the world

they had 2,000 years to do it maybe

they're not as all powerful as we think

or maybe they already did and we just

call it history but here's where things

get Sinister the Vatican has its own

secret service it's own bank with

accounts hidden from public scrutiny and

its own police force trained encounter

intelligence why does a religious

institution need an intelligence

Network why do they need their own

Financial Empire and why do they need a

sealed off underground Labyrinth filled

with documents the world isn't allowed

to

see because power isn't just about faith

it's about

control here's how they keep the archive

sealed tighter than for KNX first only

Vatican appointed Scholars get access

even then they can only view

pre-approved documents and copying them

is strictly

controlled next The Secret Keeper rule

if you work in the archives you take a

vow of silence speak out you're

excommunicated then documents disappear

the Vatican has been known to lose

inconvenient records sometimes for

centuries and then there's the 75-year

rule any Vatican document in involving

Global Affairs religious conflicts or

papow decisions is kept secret for at

least 75 years before even the most

vetted Scholars can peek at it why

because knowledge is a time bomb some

truths are too dangerous to be known

while the people involved are still

alive and some truths they're never

meant to be known at all

[Music]

deep beneath Vatican City hidden behind

centuries of secrecy lies the most

restricted collection of historical

records in existence what's inside let's

crack open the door first the missing

books of the Bible we take for granted

that the Bible we know today is the true

version but what if entire book books

entire accounts of human history were

erased next the Gospel of Mary Magdalene

suggesting she may have been more than

just a disciple then we have the Book of

Enoch describing Angels descending to

Earth and corrupting

mankind then we also have the Gospel of

Judas portraying Judas not as a traitor

but as a chosen one now why were these

texts declared heretical who decided

which story would shape Christianity and

which would disappear sure let's just

delete entire books because they don't

fit the narrative that's like throwing

out the last season of a TV show because

you don't like the ending except you

know with the fate of Humanity on the

line two the chronovisor The vatican's

Time Machine a device that can see into

the past a machine that may have

captured actual images of Jesus Christ

sounds insane right except there's a

reason this Theory won't die in the

1960s father pelino ernetti an esteemed

Catholic priest and scientist claimed he

helped build a device that could view

any moment in time according to ernetti

it worked like a temporal TV screen

pulling images from the past based on a

residual energy

imprints he claimed to have seen the

crucifixion of Christ The Lost plays of

ancient Rome even the founding of Rome

itself then suddenly silence ernetti

vanished from public life before his

death he recanted his story but those

most close to him say he was forced to

do so does the Vatican have access to a

device that lets them see history unfold

in real time if so it would explain why

they guard certain truths so

aggressively so we're out here

struggling to figure out what's real and

meanwhile the Vatican got Netflix for

history what's next they're sitting on

the Lost Tapes of

Atlantis three the secret agreements

with

extraterrestrials the Vatican has an

entire department dedicated to studying

the possibility of alien life that's not

a conspiracy theory that's fact the

Vatican Observatory research group

actively investigates exoplanets and the

potential for extraterrestrial life high

ranking Vatican officials including

Jesuit astronomer guy Consul Magno have

publicly stated that alien life wouldn't

contradict Catholic teachings leaked

documents suggest the Vatican may have

been briefed on extraterrestrial contact

decades ago if Humanity ever officially

discovers alien life what does the

Vatican already know that they haven't

told us oh yeah no big deal just a

2,000-year-old institution quietly

studying a and life while preaching

about Sin and salvation what else are

they hiding an Intergalactic confession

Booth four the Prophecies of Fatima the

message they won't reveal in

1917 three Shepherd children in Portugal

claim to have received Visions from the

Virgin Mary these Visions included three

apocalyptic prophecies the first two

came true one predicted World War II the

other waren of communist Russia rise to

power the third the Vatican kept it

hidden for decades when they finally

released it in 2000 it was

underwhelming supposedly it just

predicted an assassination attempt on a

pope but many believe that wasn't the

real

prophecies leaked Vatican reports

suggest it foretold the global

catastrophy a warning about a coming

cataclysm possibly involving nuclear war

or a celestial events some claim the

true prophecy was too terrifying to

release if that's true what exactly are

they hiding five the real location of

the Ark of the Covenant if the most

powerful religious Relic in history

still exists the Vatican would

absolutely want to control it the Ark of

the Covenant said to hold the Ten

Commandments and possess immense

Supernatural power some theories suggest

the ark was hidden away before Jerusalem

fell and smuggled to Ethiopia others

claim the Vatican took possession of it

centuries ago and keeps it under lock

and key if the ark is real and the

Vatican has it why haven't they revealed

it oh yeah let's just hoard God's

nuclear reactor in a basement vault like

it's a box of old receipts that won't

come back to bite anyone meanwhile

Humanity's out here stuck with plastic

rosaries and holy water in tiny spray

bottles we've only scratched the surface

Lost Books hidden relics secret

technology suppressed history prophecies

they won't share the possibility that

they know something we were never meant

to know the vatican's grip on knowledge

is unmatched but the real question is

always why are they hoarding secrets for

power or could there be truths too

dangerous for the world to handle and if

so who gave them the right to

[Music]

decide for centuries the Vatican has

been accused of hiding knowledge that

could rewrite human history but how do

they manage to keep the world's biggest

secrets buried because let's be real if

you have the truth about the origins of

humanity lost civilizations and maybe

even extraterrestrials sitting in your

basement you wouldn't just rely on the

lock and key so how does the Vatican

maintain its iron grip on knowledge

let's go through it first the secret

circles who really knows the Vatican

operates on a strict need to know basis

even high ranking Bishops don't have

access to the secret archives only the

Pope the archivist and a handful of

trusted Scholars are allowed inside and

even then they don't see everything the

deeper Secrets they're controlled by

shadowy Inner circles these groups don't

just preserve knowledge they decide

what's too dangerous for the public to

know oh sure let's just handpick a few

old guys in robes to be the soul keepers

of human history who needs democracy

when you've got a council of Gandalf

lookalikes making all the big decisions

two control control of History what's

written what's erased the Vatican has

the oldest and most complete historical

records on Earth and here's the thing

whoever controls the past controls the

future they own original documents from

Fallen Empires things that could reveal

lost knowledge they have direct control

over what gets translated published or

conveniently forgotten the church

actively shaped Western history for over

a, years which means they didn't just

witness history they wrote it if certain

discoveries contradicted Church

teachings they disappeared simple as

that oh don't mind us just deleting

entire chapters of History like we're

editing a bad Wikipedia entry nothing

suspicious about that at all ah then we

have the disappearing

whistleblowers throughout history

Scholars priests and researchers have

come forward claiming the Vatican was

hiding something and time after time

they vanished from public life in 1600

gordano Bruno proposed the idea of an

infinite Universe with countless

inhabited Worlds the Vatican labeled him

a heretic and burned him at the stake in

the 1940s father ernetti claimed to have

worked on the chronovisor a device that

could view the past he later recanted

but his colleagues insisted he was

forced to in 1988

father Malachi Martin a former Vatican

Insider claimed the church was covering

up demonic possessions and

extraterrestrial contact he later died

in a mysterious fall down the stairs

coincidence or a pattern oh yeah just a

string of totally accidental deaths

happens all the time when you expose

World altering Secrets nothing to see

here folks for the propaganda machine

how they control the narrative whenever

Vatican secret leaks notice what happens

the official response silence then if

the pressure builds a carefully worded

dismissal if that doesn't work a slow

quiet character assassination of The

Whistleblower this isn't just

speculation it's how the Vatican has

handled PR disasters for centuries the

chronovisor story was first ignored then

laughed at then debunked the Fatima

prophecies were hidden for decades then

sanitized before being

released the discovery of ancient

Christian texts that contradict the

official Bible buried in academic

circles dismissed as irrelevant see the

pattern it's not about proving something

false it's about making it disappear

from public discussion the goto move of

Gaslight discredit delete love that for

them oh you think we're hiding something

that's crazy also don't ask again or

we'll make you disappear

five the final layer who pulls the

strings at the highest levels there's a

final question that no one asks the

Vatican has Secrets even their own

Cardinals don't have access to if the

pope doesn't have full control of the

archives then who does is the Vatican

truly independent or just a front for

something even bigger some theories

suggest certain families organizations

or hidden Elites have controlled the

church for centuries

and if that's true then what else do

they control history religion science

our perception of reality itself and the

biggest question of all why so we've got

a secret government inside a secret

Church running a secret archive what's

next the Pope's actually a lizard

honestly at this point I wouldn't be

surprised hey let's not go full

conspiracy Iceberg just yet but if a

reptilian and a pope hat ever walks out

on the balcony I want it on record that

Wendell called it

[Music]

first the Vatican secret archives have

fueled speculation for centuries but how

much of what we've covered is actually

backed by hard evidence what well let's

break it down first the archives are

real but how secret are they yes the

Vatican Apostolic archive formerly

called the Vatican secret archive

absolutely exists it spans 85 kilm 53

miles of shelves and holds documents

dating back over a thousand years until

recently access was incredibly

restricted only Elite Vatican historians

were allowed in but here's a Twist in 20

2019 Pope Francis Declassified portions

of it theoretically it's more open now

so does that mean all the secrets are

out oh yeah sure I bet they just left

the alien autopsy files right out in the

open for us come on in take a look we

definitely didn't move the good stuff to

a hidden underground Vault somewhere

right just like how every classified

government document is totally

Declassified but somehow all the juicy

bits are blacked out with a

Sharpie then we have the Lost religious

texts do they have a different Bible we

know the Vatican has ancient Christian

texts that didn't make it into the

modern Bible the Gospel of Judas the

Dead Sea Scrolls and the Book of Enoch

are real historical documents that were

excluded from official church doctrine

some of these texts paint a radically

different picture of Jesus Satan and the

nature of God but does does that mean

the Vatican is hiding a real Bible not

quite Scholars confirmed that early

Christian leaders chose which books to

include but this wasn't necessarily a

conspiracy it was politics and theology

clashing there so a bunch of guys in

robes cherry-picked history to fit their

agenda shocking next you're going to

tell me fast food isn't good for you

third a Forbidden Knowledge does the

Vatican hide scientific

discoveries this one's harder to prove

Pro but history shows they've done it

before the Catholic Church suppressed

Galileo's work when he proved the Earth

wasn't the center of the universe the

church banned books during the

Renaissance controlling which scientific

ideas spread some whistleblowers claim

they've hidden knowledge about human

Origins including possible links to

ancient

civilizations so could they still be

suppressing discoveries today it's

possible but there's no Smoking Gun we

don't have leaked documents or insiders

saying hey they found alien technology

and it's in a Vatican basement yeah but

you know what we do have hundreds of

years of coverups if you're willing to

burn people at the stake for saying the

Earth moves you're probably willing to

stash a few inconvenient discoveries

under lock and key four The Conspiracy

Theory overload is there any proof of

extraterrestrial documents well some

claim the Vatican has secret Rec records

of UFO encounters dating back centuries

others say the Vatican knows about

non-human intelligence and has even made

contact the Malachi Martin claims that a

high- ranking priest said the Vatican

was aware of extraterrestrials are

purely anecdotal there's no verifiable

proof does the Vatican have information

about life beyond Earth here's the

closest real evidence we have the

Vatican runs its own Advanced

astronomical Observatory including

the Lucifer

Telescope yes that's its actual name

several Vatican astronomers have

publicly stated that belief in Aliens

wouldn't contradict Catholic theology

but there's no hard evidence that

they're sitting on files about UFO

crashes or ancient alien contact okay

but explain this why does a church need

one of the most advanced space

observatories in the world seems a

little offbrand for an organization

that's supposed to be looking inward not

outward five the missing evidence what

happened to the files we know existed

many key documents from history are just

gone records of early Christianity that

might show a different version of events

lost files on the Inquisition missing

Crusaders and censored books also

vanished some Vatican accounts suggest

documents were moved hidden or even

destroyed to prevent them from

undermining Church Authority the truth

we'll probably never know what was lost

okay so the final take what's real and

what's myth the Vatican archive is real

and it contains restricted documents

some religious texts were suppressed or

excluded from mainstream Doctrine the

church has historically controlled

information and still does to an extent

but is there undeniable proof of aliens

secret Advanced Tech or lost

civilizations not yet and that's the

thing about Secrets the spig if they

were easy to prove they wouldn't be

Secrets

[Music]

anymore we want to believe that history

is written in ink that the truth is

solid unshakable and permanent but

history is written in fear it's edited

by power and it's controlled by those

who decide what you're allowed to know

for centuries the Vatican has position

itself as the gatekeeper of human

knowledge they don't just own history

they curate it so here's the question

what happens when the truth is too big

to tell the Vatican presents itself as

the guardian of Christianity morality

and divine wisdom but let's be brutally

honest it has orchest rated wars in the

name of God it has silenced voices that

questioned its Authority it has

Rewritten entire chapters of History to

keep control and yet it claims to be the

ultimate moral

compass but what if the church was never

really about faith what if it was always

about power the Vatican has always had a

complicated relationship with knowledge

the Lost gospels records that tell a

different version of History than the

one we were get given the Forbidden

Sciences ideas once explored then buried

under threats of Exile imprisonment or

Worse the missing histories accounts

from civilizations that didn't fit the

narrative quietly erased from public

record and yet every time someone tries

to look deeper the response is always

the same there's nothing to find trust

us don't ask questions which raises a

question of its own why would an an

institution built on truth be so afraid

of people looking for it let's make

something clear Faith isn't the problem

people believing in something bigger

than themselves that's not the crime the

crime is when a small group of men

appoint themselves the sole Arbiters of

Truth they tell you what you're allowed

to believe they decide what history

should look like they choose which

knowledge dies and which survives that's

not faith that's

control imagine for a moment that the

Vatican archives were fully unsealed not

just to Scholars not just to a select

few but to everyone would we find proof

of long lost civilizations would we

uncover knowledge that could rewrite

history as we know it or would we

realize that much of what we've been

told was carefully curated carefully

shaped so that we only ever saw one

version of the story because here's the

thing about control it only works if

people don't know they're being

controlled maybe it's not just the Lost

gospel maybe it's not just proof of

extraterrestrials or ancient

Technologies maybe the biggest secret

isn't what's inside maybe it's the

reason we've never been allowed to see

because when you control the past you

don't just control history you control

the future in the scariest part the

future is still being written and maybe

it's already been decided for us

[Music]
