And that's why the masonry looks so different, why the artifacts look so different, why the layers are completely different in where they are, okay?

So let's start with, this is an actual real photograph.

We talked about this a little bit last time, but I have to set the stage here.

This is a mythical city called Chirupac.

It's considered one of the first cities in the tablets ever, ever built.

The tablets, ancient Mesopotamian tablets, for instance, the Sumerian king list, the Atrahasis, the Eridogenesis, all those tablets discuss the same thing.

They say there was five cities created first on earth.

and that nothing existed before then.

And that after that, there were other cities and other emergencies of those civilizations that came later on in history.

But the wild thing is though, is that even though the tablets state that Chirupac was one of the original first five cities, academics don't.

In fact, academics up until potentially even now believe that Chirupac wasn't real, it was a myth.

And that's the same thing that happened to Troy, right?

When they found Troy in the 1800s in Western Turkey, all of a sudden they realized that this story that's been throughout history is based on a real place.

So all of a sudden you're like, wait a minute.

So allegory and myth, is there truth woven into that?

Yeah, and then it can be rewritten over time based on influences of other people.

It definitely is, which is why it's very interesting that this civilization that I have uncovered didn't leave any writings behind at all.

They didn't believe in writing.

That might seem crazy until you go into the dialogues of Plato and Socrates.

Do you know that Socrates told Plato, basically his emphasis or his stature on the whole idea of writing versus talking was that he didn't believe that anything could be written down because it could be misinterpreted too easily, which that's dangerous because then if you die and then it's just oral tradition, right?
