[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]
