The show where its ok to admit we really know nothing at all about this world around us. We know what they tell us in the news is a carefully crafted narrative often devoid of any actual truth, same most certainly can be said about everything we have been taught in school from the fundamentals of history, to the fundamental nature of this world we call home, so lets explore this world without the blinders on together and figure out and discuss what we discover together.

    Week in Review | Episode 98

    How do we actually know what we think we know? Jake opens the Week in Review with the J746 date stones, the Crystal Palace and Chicago's White City, then takes your chat questions through the buried windows and the Seattle Underground, the forgotten pneumatic tube networks (and the kids once mailed through the post office), Antwerp's 50 star forts and the keyhole shapes at their centers, the orphan trains and the palace-sized orphan and insane asylums built in towns of 1,800 people, how much of Chicago the 1893 World's Fair really covered, painted-in people in 1890s street photos, spotless Civil War uniforms, and the incubator baby exhibits and Barnum's $2,000 baby show. You decide.

    The Hidden Pyramids of America: The Grand Canyon Cover-Up | Best Of Questioning Everything Vol. 3

    In 1909 the Arizona Gazette reported a cave city cut into the Grand Canyon, with tunnels, mummies and Egyptian-style artifacts. Then the story disappeared. On this Sunday Mixtape, Jake pulls the hidden-pyramid moments from the live show: why so much of the Grand Canyon is closed on foot and by air, the temples named after Egyptian gods and their Orion's belt layout, how the Kincaid story was buried, Washington's perfectly shaped Tum Tum Mountain, the stone pyramids reported under Wisconsin's Rock Lake, the St. Louis Big Mound that was leveled in the 1860s, Monks Mound at Cahokia, the pyramid structures found off Cuba in 2001, and what Mexico's pyramids looked like before they were dug out. It wraps up with your questions about the Smithsonian and the missing proof. You decide. Stitched from Episodes 23, 47 and 48. Full episodes are on the channel and on Spotify.

    Episode 97: The World's Fairs In Depth | Cities Built to Be Destroyed?

    Episode 97 of Questioning Everything goes deep on the great World's Fairs, those massive, beautiful palace cities we're told went up in a couple of years out of "temporary" plaster, only to burn or get torn down right after. We go through the construction photos, the fire pattern that keeps showing up, and the questions the official narrative never really answers. We start at London 1851 and the Crystal Palace, all the way to the 1936 fire that Churchill called the end of an age. Then it's Philadelphia 1876, with Bell's telephone, Heinz and the Statue of Liberty's arm on display, then Paris 1889 with the Eiffel Tower, the Galerie des Machines and the human zoos. We finish in Chicago 1893, the White City, supposedly built on a swamp in about two years. We only got through half the list, so Part 2 is coming: Buffalo 1901, St. Louis 1904, San Francisco 1915, the incubator babies and the orphan trains. This one is very visual, so catch the full video on YouTube if you're listening here. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 Opening 02:18 Welcome + Menasha tornado update 04:06 Bluejays vote 06:59 How tonight works 10:47 Construction photos & the fire pattern 17:53 London 1851: the Crystal Palace 25:45 Sydenham 1936: the Crystal Palace fire 31:55 Chat 33:40 Philadelphia 1876 37:47 Chat: Luna Park + plugs 40:55 Bell, Heinz & the Liberty arm 47:04 Paris 1889 51:55 The Galerie des Machines 54:49 Human zoos 58:09 Chat: Turkmenistan 1:04:07 Chicago 1893: the White City 1:07:39 Built on a swamp in 2 years? 1:23:15 Wrap-up 💛 SUPPORT THE SHOW 🎮 Play my free game, Lost Photos of the Old World: https://theimprobabledreamer.itch.io/lost-photos 📖 An Improbable Atlas (paperback): https://a.co/d/07vWFI99 🌳 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/theimprobabledreamer 🛍️ Merch: https://the-improbable-dreamer-shop.fourthwall.com ☕ Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/TheDoctor3940 📰 The Dreamer Weekly (free, Sundays): https://jakes-newsletter-99912c.beehiiv.com/subscribe ✈️ Telegram: https://t.me/TheDoctorregenerated 📺 Live Tue, Thu & Fri 10:30 PM CT Question everything. #questioneverything #worldsfair #whitecity #crystalpalace #oldworld

    The Missing Thousand Years: Who Rewrote Our Timeline? | QE Ep 96

    The Missing Thousand Years: Who Rewrote Our Timeline? | QE Ep 96 On this solo episode of Questioning Everything, Jake went through the stones carved with J746, J787 and J725 and asked a simple question. In Latin, Jesus was IESUS, and I and J were once the same letter. So was that first "digit" really a 1, or did it mean "the year of Jesus"? From there he covered how the AD count was invented by one monk in 525, the missing year zero, the Donation of Constantine and other admitted forgeries, and Scaliger and Petavius building the timeline. He also covered the 10 days Pope Gregory deleted and the 11 Britain "annihilated" in 1752. Then came the Phantom Time hypothesis, Fomenko's New Chronology, the old Roman 10-month calendar and the 13-moon year. He ended on Revelation 20, Gog and Magog on the Tartaria maps, and whether we're living in the little season.

    Look down. Star forts on every continent that were supposedly "for cannons." A "temporary" 1893 fair building photographed already buried in mud.

    Why Did the Airships Disappear? | Jake on Flat Earth Dave | Questioning Everything

    Why did the airships disappear? Jake Castrey (The Improbable Dreamer) joins Flat Earth Dave on Deep Inside The Rabbit Hole for a wide-open conversation about the old world: star forts as a lost power grid, ancient city layouts that look like circuit boards, Turkmenistan's empty white city, Kazakhstan's pyramid, orphan trains, mooring masts on the Empire State Building, flying cruise ships and Tesla's airship, melted castles, and whether Himalayan salt is something stranger than rock.

    Episode 95: Melting Stone With the Sun | Peter Forhan LIVE Solar Experiments

    Peter Forhan came back for Episode 95 of Questioning Everything, and for the first time we took the show outside, live. It was high noon on a rooftop in Shenzhen, China, and Peter brought a lens that concentrates sunlight a thousand times to show what "sunfire" can do. Peter exploded a chunk of pyrite (it made both of us jump), melted pewter into a shot-glass mold and turned it into a little tin "goose," and heated obsidian until a single tap split it, his case for how the old world could have quarried and shaped stone without lasers. We also covered Prometheus, Roman self-healing concrete and stone worked at the "wax" stage. He showed how a hidden lens can make anyone look like a wizard, and we compared notes on moonlight reading about 4 degrees colder. When the clouds rolled in, we moved to Peter's theory that Rome crossed the Atlantic, the Washington statues, and a one-star flag in the Maryland State House painting. We closed on the Eye of the Sahara: Plato's ringed Atlantis west of the Pillars of Hercules, and what looks like a flood path running out to the Atlantic. The clouds cost us the brick-melting demo, so we'll have Peter back for round two. The demos are very visual, so watch the full video on YouTube if you're listening here. Having a guest on isn't an endorsement. Nothing here is medical advice. Never look at the sun or focused sunlight, and don't try lens experiments without eye protection.

    Satan's Little Season, Part 2 | Brian of The Demon Erasers LIVE | Questioning Everything Ep 94

    Brian of The Demon Erasers came back for Episode 94 of Questioning Everything, live. His first visit (Ep 75, "Satan's Little Season") became one of our most-watched shows, and he left a lot of doors open. This time he walked back through them with old books, old money and old maps on screen: what if the thousand years already happened? We covered the headless saints of the old hagiographies, an 1837 magazine that mentions a "lapse of more than 2,000 years," and an 1812 medal that reads "the Messiah has reigned." We asked why Washington was carved like a Roman emperor and painted among the gods, and what's sitting in the U.S. Capitol Crypt under the rotunda. Brian brought out a 1587 map with a "Region of Giants" and a compass star that looks painted over. We talked rapture vs. raptor and why the catacombs hold mostly skulls and leg bones, then asylums, orphan trains and "the rest of the dead" in Revelation 20. From there it was Renaissance names that read like titles, the Mikoshi "Ark" in Japan, Bible stories in ancient Chinese characters, Prajapati in the Rig Veda, and Josephus' account of chariots in the clouds before 70 AD. We closed with the titan face in the Antarctic ice and the "graveyard of titans" at the tip of South America. Chat brought great questions all night, and Brian's big 1587 map is coming to demonerasers.com. Having a guest on isn't an endorsement. Do your own homework and bring your questions. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 Opening: What if the thousand years already happened? 02:28 Brian of The Demon Erasers returns 03:08 The headless saints 06:03 Old books: an 1837 magazine and a "lapse of 2,000 years" 10:32 The 1812 "Messiah has reigned" medal 14:00 Old banknotes: Victory and the eagle of Zeus 17:27 Washington as Zeus?
