MYSTERIOUS Ruins That Defy History!

 Origins Explained is the place to be to find all the answers to your questions, from mysterious events and unsolved mysteries to everything there is to know about the world and its amazing animals! 1. Pompeii, Italy There are many scary stories in history, but the story of Pompeii is one that we just can’t get over. This is the city that was built in the fertile valley near a volcano, Mt. Vesuvius. When it erupted, it caught people by surprise and buried the city in soot and ash and left it covered and perfectly preserved for hundreds of years. Now much of it has been uncovered and it is a sad historical marvel and many people were frozen in time forever. 2. Great Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe Sticking with Africa, let's head to Zimbabwe, which holds one of the biggest mysteries of the continent. It's called ... Great Zimbabwe. Yeah, does not really sound mysterious, does it? But don't let that fool you, there's more to this than you might think. 3. Thonis, Egypt If you're bi

The Bible Tells the True Story of Humanity

In its entirety, The Book of Enoch is made up of five books - The Book of Watchers, Book of Parables, The Astronomical Book, The Dream Visions, and The Epistles of Enoch - containing some 100 chapters. These chapters tell the story of the 7th patriarch in the Book of Genesis - Enoch, the father of Methuselah and grandfather of Noah, the same Noah in the biblical story of Noah's Ark.

Yet, this was not the biblical story of Noah's Ark. In fact, the Book of Enoch provides an entirely different recounting of the events leading up to the Great Flood of Noah's time, that is, a completely different doctrinal history. It tells a story of the Watchers, explained in biblical terms to be fallen angels, sent to earth to watch over humans at some undefined and ancient point in time. Unfortunately, far from merely watching humans, these Watchers became infatuated by human women, and in short order, began to engage in depraved sexual acts with them. The Book of Enoch tells of the children born through this interbreeding between Watchers and humans, called the Nephilim. These Nephilim were as described: "giants and savages that endangered and pillaged humanity," or, said another way, "supernatural, man-eating giants."

What is human history?
It is a record of the victors, of power and purpose. Evolution, the agricultural revolution, and so on, most are at least vaguely familiar with these concepts. But what if it is not quite so simple?

What if the stories of the ancients, tales of gods and angels, of giants and disasters, are more literal than they might seem upon first glance?
Look closer, and an alternative history of the human race may be revealed. One which totally upends conventional knowledge and the history of power. This is an alternative history which has been censored out of human understanding, mostly forgotten or ignored. Until now.

It was called the Book of Enoch. In its entirety, The Book of Enoch is made up of five books, The Book of Watchers, Book of Parables, The Astronomical Book, The Dream Visions, and The Epistles of Enoch, containing some 100 chapters. These chapters tell the story of the 7th patriarch in the Book of Genesis, Enoch, the father of Methuselah and grandfather of Noah, the same Noah in the biblical story of Noahs Ark. et, this was not the biblical story of Noahs Ark. In fact, the Book of Enoch provides an entirely different recounting of the events leading up to the Great Flood of Noahs time, that is a completely different doctrinal history.

It tells a story of the Watchers, explained in biblical terms to be fallen angels, sent to earth to watch over humans at some undefined and ancient point in time. Unfortunately, far from merely watching humans, these Watchers became infatuated by human women, and in short order, began to engage in depraved sexual acts with them. The Book of Enoch tells of the children born through this interbreeding between Watchers and humans, called the Nephilim.

These Nephilim were as described, giants and savages that endangered and pillaged humanity, or, said another way, supernatural, man-eating giants. Angered with what the Watchers had done, those described as gods chained them in a subterranean prison deep within the earth. Enoch became the go-between gods and imprisoned Watchers. The Book describes Enochs journeys between heaven and earth in his role as an intermediary, how he flew with the angels and saw the rivers and mountains and the very ends of the earth from above.

Yet, despite Enochs intervention, the gods decided the atrocity that the earth had become must be punished. Of course, the punishment would be a great flood. This flood would destroy the Nephilim and cement the Watchers in their prison. Beforehand, however, Enoch would be whisked away to heaven in a fiery chariot. Interestingly, the Book of Genesis, which tells of the Great Flood in Abrahamic traditions, references the Nephilim in Chapter six, describing heroes that were of old, warriors of renown. This is not the only place in biblical canon which the Nephilim appear. In Numbers 13:32-33,
the Israelites visit a land inhabited by Nephilim, who are so large they make the Israelites look like grasshoppers.

Of course, many things in the Bible are seen in modern ties as allegorical, that is, more philosophical myth than historical record. There is archaeological evidence of a great flood in the earths past, one, incidentally, also spoken about in countless religious and cultural traditions across the world. Had beings like Nephilim giants actually existed?

Surely there would be similar evidence. What if there is?

In our 30-minute documentary video about giants, which we linked in the description and comments, we highlighted dozens of stories of enormous skeletons unearthed across North America, together with many newspaper articles from the late 19th and early 20th century suggesting that ancient giants were indeed real and coexisted with early humans.

This is not a phenomenon confined to the United States. Similarly, enormous skeletons have been found
in the Amazon Rainforest, Africa, and elsewhere. In fact, stories of giants permeate human history and tradition. The famed explorer Marco Polo once wrote of a race of giants in Zanzibar who were  so strong they can carry as many as four ordinary men, while the people of modern-day Tangier, Morocco
once claimed their citys founder was a giant named Antaeus. According to Irish myth, the so-called Giants Causeway off the northeast coast of Ireland, an astonishing 40,000 interlocking columns of rock,
was built by the Irish giant Finn McCool so that he could walk across the sea to Scotland to fight another giant.

Further, stories of giants dot Norse legends and ancient Greek mythology. Perhaps if giants did exist, as these records across countless cultures suggest, then the Book of Enoch is less allegorical than it might originally appear, less fantastical myth and more grounded in actual history. It is interesting to note that for centuries, the Book of Enoch was an important part of both Christian and Jewish religious traditions. Many, if not most, sects accepted the book as scripture. Further, some have even suggested
that the Book of Enoch was the inspiration for the Book of Genesis, due to their many parallels and overlapping stories. The question is thus, what happened?
Why is the Book of Enoch not part of the Bible?

To answer this, we must go back to the early centuries after the death of Jesus Christ. Far from the rigid canon of 39 Old Testament and 27 New Testament books that we know as the Bible today. Originally, there were numerous gospels and religious texts which made up the broad spectrum of Christian tradition. As the Christian religion grew after the death of Jesus, the burgeoning Christian church needed to know which texts should be read and followed, which teachings should be applied, which texts would be deemed as acceptable and divinely inspired. The church needed, out of diversity, to create uniformity, they needed an official canon. In a story popularized in modern times by Dan Browns seminal work The Da Vinci Code, this canonization is remembered as happening, somewhat nefariously, at the Council of Nicea in the 4th century. There, according to the story, Emperor Constantine and other high-ranking church authorities shaped the Christian canon to conform to their own secret agenda.

Unfortunately, this is not historically accurate. The Council of Nicea did not determine the official Christian canon. Don’t blame Dan Brown, the famed philosopher Voltaire, made a similar assertion in the 1700s. But while the story may not be factually accurate, it is accurate in a sense. High ranking members of the church certainly did pick and choose what to include in the official biblical canon,
they argued, pulled strings, cast their opponents as heretics, and almost certainly sought to expand their own power. It just didn’t take place at a single council, but rather, as a much longer process between the 1st and 4th centuries.

It is generally understood that by the end of the 4th century, the process was complete and the Bible was officially set without the Book of Enoch. How could something as influential, if not vital, as the Book of Enoch be left out?

To answer this question, one might examine other gospels which were also censored from the final product. Consider the Gospel of Peter, a fragment of which was found in Egypt in 1886, which tells the long-missing story of a resurrected Jesus leaving his tomb and features two gigantic angels and a floating cross that talks. And they heard a voice from the heavens, saying, Thou hast preached to them that sleep. And a response was heard from the cross, Yea. Or, consider the Gospel of Mary, that notorious work in which Mary Magdalene is named not only as one of Jesus disciples, but his favorite one, perhaps even his wife. Within this gospel, the disciple Peter asks why he and the other disciples should listen to Mary, a woman, to which Matthew responds, If the Savior made her worthy, who are you then, for your part, to cast her aside?

Surely the Savior knows her full well. That is why he has loved her more than us. Like the Book of Enoch, these gospels tell extraordinary and history-challenging stories. Perhaps then, it should be no surprise that these texts were censored out by early power brokers of the official Christian canon. It stands to reason that the Book of Enoch may have been totally forgotten if not for its survival in small orthodox sects of Ethiopian Jews.

In fact, the only pre-modern version of the text was written in Geez, an ancient African language. It was this version which Richard Laurence, the Archbishop of Cashel, used in 1821 to produce the first ever English translation of the book, the version used to inform study of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Curiously, though the Book of Enoch was omitted from the established Christian canon and subsequently forgotten
in all but the most obscure corners of religious tradition and theological study, the Bible does contain numerous references to it. There are references to the Nephilim in Genesis and Numbers.

Genesis also contains an extensive recounting of Enochs lineage. The Book of Hebrews describes how
God had taken Enoch away, seemingly a reference to his being taken to heaven via fiery chariot before the Great Flood. Jude, meanwhile, contains an entire paragraph transcribed almost word-for-word from Enoch, suggesting that the Book may, in fact, have served as an early inspiration for canonical biblical texts. Further, Corinthians 11:5-6 contains instructions from St. Paul that women should cover their heads while in church. This, seemingly a direct reference to the fact that the Watchers in the Book of Enoch were attracted to women with long flowing hair.

This is a practice which remains in Roman Catholicism and Islam to this day. Though it was censored, even forgotten, the Book of Enoch never truly disappeared. There is something deeper behind the Book of Enoch and its incredible stories, something which goes beyond simply whether or not it is part of the Christian canon. It has been pointed out that Enoch, the 7th patriarch of the Bible, seems to reflect the 7th antediluvian king, Enmenduranna, in Babylonian tradition. The ancient Greeks believed Enoch to be the same as the god Hermes, while ancient Egyptians had someone similar in their own tradition. The examples could continue, and so it must be asked, why does Enoch, no matter his name, keep appearing in the traditions of the ancients?

The answer may go back further than the Greeks, Egyptians, or even the Babylonians, back to the ancient Sumerians. According to Sumerian texts, earth was visited by a group of supernatural beings
sometime in the distant past. These visitors are described in Sumerian tradition in a way that is eerily similar to descriptions of the Watchers in the Book of Enoch. Instead of Watchers, however, Sumerians called these beings the Anunnaki, which literally means those who came from the heavens.

They were gods, to the Sumerians to modern thinkers like Zecharia Sit chin and Erich von Däniken, they were an ancient race of aliens who came to earth. Interestingly, Sumerian texts tell stories of these Anunnaki, much like the Watchers, beginning to interbreed with human beings, creating an entirely new species in the process, reflecting the creation of the Nephilim. Like the gods of the Book of Enoch, the Anunnaki became angered with the condition of the earth and brought about a great flood. Is it possible the Book of Enoch, as well as other related traditions, are simply retelling the older Sumerian story of the Anunnaki?

Consider the Agricultural Revolution, which began around 10,000 BCE, during which time human beings transitioned from a lifestyle of hunting and gathering to one of agriculture and settlement. According to historical record, as early as 9500 BCE, in what is now modern Kurdistan, barley, wheat, and rye were being cultivated, oats, peas, and lentils were being grown, while goats and sheep were domesticated. Some 500 years after that, copper and lead smelting were taking place in the region, alongside weaving and pottery making. Additionally, this ancient Kurdish culture was the first to develop a script, standing as one of humanitys earliest literate societies. Some have asked how human beings could have made this jump so fast.

Interestingly, the Kurdish people claim to be the descendants of the Children of the Djinn the Children of Spirits. Is this an ancient cultural reference to the procreation between Anunnaki and human women?
According to the Sumerians, it was the Anunnaki who brought advanced knowledge and technology to human beings, lending a helping hand, as it were, to the progression of human civilization. Many have suggested that this explains seemingly impossible monuments like the pyramids of Giza or Teotihuacan,
those ancient monuments of extraordinary sophistication which is completely unexplained by the cultural and social circumstances of historical record.

Perhaps this also explains how human beings were able to transition from nomadic hunter-gatherers to sophisticated civilizations in a historically insignificant amount of time. Incredibly, the Book of Enoch
describes an almost identical process taking place, with the Watchers mirroring the Anunnaki in providing humans with advanced knowledge and technology. They teach humans metallurgy and mining, science and medicine, how to read and write, and how to read the stars, they teach humans to wear cosmetics and make jewelry and reveal the secrets of the art of war.

The Book of Enoch 8:1-3a reads, And Azazel taught men to make swords and knives and shields and breastplates and made known to them the metals [of the earth] and the art of working them and bracelets and ornaments and the use of antimony and the beautifying of the eyelids and all kinds of costly stones and all coloring tinctures. And there arose much godlessness and they committed fornication and they were led astray and became corrupt in all their ways. Was the Book of Enoch, in this way, merely reflecting and retelling the story of the Anunnaki?

It is interesting that the most common example given of something completely unexplained by the cultural and social circumstances of historical record, that is to say, something the Anunnaki must surely have helped ancient humans with, are the Egyptian pyramids. According to the ancient Arabian historian Al-Maqrizi, these pyramids were built by a king named Saurid, who lived before the Great Flood. Incidentally, Saurid translated into Hebrew, is Enoch. Consider elsewhere in the Book of Enoch,
in a chapter in which Enoch bears witness to the secrets of the lightning’s and the secrets of the thunder.
Some have suggested, this chapter is meant to illuminate the riddles of energy and electricity. Again, this relates directly to the Anunnaki, who many believe have been trying to reveal similar secrets to human beings through crop circles for some time.

In our latest video, called Crop Circles Contain Blueprints for Free Energy Devices, we talked how in only the past few decades, crop circles have appeared across the world detailing complex mathematical equations, magnetic diagrams and motors, mechanical routers and the field lines of an electrical charge,
the work, according to some, of the Anunnaki. In fact, consider Enochs description of his journey to meet the gods while keeping in mind the UFO sightings which often accompany and compliment these crop circles, I was taken to a kind of floating palace, Enoch said.

It was huge, like carved glass. The floor had glass plates. Through the floor you could see the stars we were crossing. With this in mind, one might wonder if the fiery chariot which took Enoch away before the Great Flood was not in fact, an alien spacecraft. It may seem hard to believe that stories as mind-blowing as these, of Watchers and Anunnaki and Nephilim giants, stories which permeated ancient cultures for thousands of years, should be largely forgotten, the Sumerians erased from the pantheon of ancient civilizations, the Book of Enoch censored from biblical canon. However, given the way these stories fundamentally reshape human history and redefine what human beings are their exclusion is perhaps no surprise. Yet, maybe these stories were not, in fact, totally erased. Consider the well-known biblical story of Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden. Read it not literally, nor philosophically, but as an allegory.

Read it metaphorically. God creates Adam to watch over the earth, much as the gods send the Watchers to do in the Book of Enoch. From Adams rib, god creates Eve, Adam and Eve procreate, representing the interbreeding between the Watchers and human females. Adam and Eve are told they can eat anything they want in the Garden of Eden, except fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Of course, they do eat from the tree of knowledge, representative of the Watchers bringing advanced technology and knowledge to human beings, which perhaps they were not mentally evolved enough to handle. Just as eating from the tree of knowledge provided Adam and Eve with the knowledge of God, so too did the book of Enoch describe how the Watchers revealed the eternal secrets which were preserved for heaven, which men were striving to learn.

Reading the story of Adam and Eve this way, it is easy to see the parallels between it and the Book of Enoch. And perhaps that is just the point. Perhaps the people who wrote the story of Adam and Eve were simply retelling the stories in the Book of Enoch in their own way, retelling the Sumerian story of the Anunnaki, as so many across religions and cultures had before them, inserting this crucial piece of human history allegorically into their own religious canon, so that these ancient records could continue to exist. What is human history?

Is it that which is understood through officially sanctioned history books?
Or is it something deeper, something more incredible, if, perhaps, forgotten?

Baffling Secret Revealed? 1100 Year Old Prasat Thom Temple, Cambodia

 Hey guys, today I wanted to show you the secret behind this ancient temple called Prasat Thom in Cambodia, at first look you think everything is completely ruined but I am going to show you something exciting. Look at these blocks, anything strange about them? Anything unusual ? Out of all the blocks, only these blocks have some type of markings on them? Do you see what they are? Now, let us just follow these blocks with those weird marking or designs. While the other blocks seem to have a flat top, these blocks seem to have a nice curved surface on top. There are a series of these stone blocks, all made of sand stone, each block is about 2 or 3 feet long, and they all look like bread loafs neatly arranged in a line. This is a pretty long line and at the very end, you see something quite interesting. A block that is curved and look what we see, a 7 headed snake, a Naga raised up with its hoods ready to attack. See the scales on its back, now you know what those markings on the stone b

The One Intelligent Thing That Alexander Did

 In history textbooks, Alexander is usually referred to as Alexander the Great. But was he really, or was he something else? Sadhguru speaks about the only intelligent thing Alexander did in his life. Sadhguru: So one reason he was pushing towards India was he wanted to find a yogi and learn how to become immortal. And they told Alexander, that we found the man, but he’s not willing to come. For once he did one intelligent thing, that’s the reason why we really removed his third name. See, Alexander,  in our history textbooks, school textbooks, they said, Alexander The Great. They only got the first name, the middle name, they missed out the last name, his name was Alexander The Great Idiot,  but because it was too long somebody left out the last name.  Well, the moment you make such a man, a great man in this world then in many ways, you’ve des…destroyed the future of humanity. Because from the age of sixteen – I think he died around thirty-two or thirty-three – all he did was kill, k

How does an Electric Motor work?

Electric motors can remain very mysterious! How do they use electricity to start rotating? Let's break it down step by step to understand how it works. Topics covered in this video: circuits, current, magnets, electromagnets, armature, commutator, brushes, stator, and rotor. This video only covers DC motors.  If you look around your house, you will see many devices that have electric motors, such as kids toys, table fans, toothbrushes, hairdryers, and this electric cutting knife. But how does the electric motor work? You turn it on and somehow it starts rotating. Why is that? Let’s start with something called a circuit. You have a battery, some wires and a device that uses electricity, such as a light bulb. Electricity flows through the circuit. But as soon as there is a break in the wire, the electricity stops flowing and the light bulb goes off. The path must be complete for the circuit to work. This is best down through the use of a switch. Electricity is flowing down the wire.

Kailasa Temple in Ellora Caves

  This is the world famous Kailasa temple at Ellora and let's look objectively into who could have built this amazing structure. By the end of this video, I hope you will agree with me that our history is completely wrong, and that this temple was built by a very advanced civilization. What is so special about this temple? This temple was not constructed by adding stone blocks, but an entire mountain was carved to create this temple. This is the only example in the whole world where a mountain was cut out from the top, to create a structure. In all the other temples and caves, even in Ellora and the rest of the world, the rock was cut from the front and carved as they went along. The whole world has followed a rock cutting technique called "cut-in monolith" while Kailasa temple is the only one that has used the exact opposite technique called "cut-out monolith". To see why this rock cutting technique is so different, let's take a look at this pillar that is

Strange Ancient Pyramid in Cambodia

 Hey guys, today we are going to look at a very strange place called Baksei Chamkrong in the Angkor Wat Complex in Cambodia. This is a very strange site because this is the only stepped pyramid in this temple complex. As you can see this is desolated, this is not a popular site but this is a perfect stepped pyramid and is one of the oldest construction sites in Cambodia. In fact there are inscriptions that actually take this back much much earlier in time. Who built this and why?  Archeologists and historians claim that this was built by a king called Rajendravarman and he spoke Tamil and Sanskrit. But there are inscriptions where he takes the entire Khmer dynasty to mythical times, more than many thousand years ago. This is a very interesting pyramid, and to understand it fully, we need to look at the aerial view. When we look at the drone footage, it is obvious that it was built with a specific pattern in mind. A specific frequency pattern. Remember, frequencies create patterns that
