At Goliamo, they were searching for buried treasure, but they were really looking for ancient artifacts or alien technology. They brought psychics with them. They were told the location by Baba Vanga.

They had an encounter with aliens and dark forces. A couple of people died. Some managed to escape. They sealed the cave and left in a hurry. And that project was also covered up. I listen to lots of podcasts about how the people in the area feel like there's a special energy there. It's a paranormal hotspot. There's a vortex. It's on a ley line. All that stuff.

That may be what the young people say because it's fun. But the older folks who were there for the dig said nothing strange happened and they'd like to be left alone. but they never will be. Stories like this resonate because we know there's more to reality than we understand, so we keep asking questions. But it warns us we might not like the answers, and some mysteries are better left unsolved.

The three-body problem.

The three-body problem.

All stories about pushing boundaries in search of hidden knowledge that lead to unintended and often disastrous consequences. This is a theme that's going to keep turning up until we finally understand the universe and our place in it. That's going to take a while. So we're going to keep seeing variations of this classic story again and again. And you know what? That's fine with me.

Just leave Indiana Jones alone. That was a fun episode to produce. But I'm always nervous with those kinds of stories. Because they're obviously fake. And they're easily debunked. But where I get nervous is I take creative license with those. And, you know, it feels dishonest. Like when I'm covering a story, I don't want to add to the lore.

Because I see that happening now with the channel being a little bit bigger. I'll see some details introduced to like an urban legend that I added. And I don't, I kind of don't want to do that. But there are some stories that are so fake that there's gaps in the narrative. So I just kind of fill it in to make it work. And I don't know, I'm kind of torn.

Because I don't want to contribute to the urban legend, but at the same time, they're super fun to write and watch and produce. So you tell me. Let me know what you think. And that's not me fishing for comments. You can email me or send a chat during one of the live streams. When I say I'd like your opinion, I actually would. So, okay. Now we'll go back to episode 50, Derinkuyu.
