There are many enigmatic, giant ruins that can be found within Japan. Super megaliths, so old, a number of the largest have eroded away to a state of unrecognition. An archaeological site, which at the time of its life, would have undoubtedly dwarfed nearly all other civilizations upon Earth, a civilization which far outstretches the modern urban sprawl of the Japanese coastlines. A lost, super-civilization responsible for the construction of numerous pyramids found throughout the landscape, some of which are said to lay beneath several meters of Earth, which has slowly consumed them over the millennia. Amongst these curious ruins are extremely perplexing, apparently sliced megalithic stones, pyramidal capstones, and also, like many places dotted around the world, legends of giants. One of the many things Japanese culture has become renowned for over the centuries is their ability to create swords, steel weapons of a far superior quality than their rivals, giving them an edge over their foes for many centuries. One must wonder, where did this advanced knowledge of sword-making come from? Was it mere ingenuity, or descended knowledge left by a far more superior, entirely different, and far larger race of people? Many sword-making technologies, which even to this day impress and perplex the many specialists who delve into the nature of this advanced metallurgy. Amongst these enigmatic and amazing swords is one in particular, one that for obvious reasons stands out from the rest. Known as the Norimitsu Odachi at over 12 feet in length and weighing nearly 15 kilograms in weight, this sword was masterfully created over 2,000 years ago, with no other intention than to be used by a warrior of gigantic proportions. The Nodachi type of sword was one of the weapons of choice on the field of battle during the Nambokocho period. During this era and far before, these swords were rarely created for decoration purposes. The price of their construction, the time and care needed in creating just one single sword meant that most were indeed manufactured for the purpose of battle. Additionally, the cost of creating such an enormous sword would have been considerable. Was this enormous sword once used by an equally enormous warrior? Understandably, many have denied such explanations as a tangible possibility. Yet regardless, a satisfactory explanation for the creation of such an amazing object remains to be seen. Japan is a country full of ancient architecture, still to be explained by modern fields of study, with much of the method of construction indicative of lost knowledge. We have in the past covered a number of these ancient anomalies. Yet after receiving a message from one of our viewers, we have yet again been provided with a lead which has resulted in us adding to this long list of ancient wonders. With a smorgasbord of previously unnoticed ancient masonry, which is still in existence at a number of ancient sites throughout the country, many of these sites, thanks to the tremendous efficiency of their original constructors, are still in use to this day. Mostly labeled as castles, these additional discoveries further corroborates a hypothesis we presented nearly two years ago. A posit of a past mega metropolis, or now lost super civilization, having once called Japan home. Chris Gorman had previously visited Shuri Castle in Okinawa with his family, and after watching the studies regarding masonry on the channel, recalled seeing this same, now lost method of advanced stone building at the ancient site. He stated and I quote, I'm writing to you after watching your video regarding masonry. I recognize that this same masonry was present at Shuri Castle in Okinawa, Japan, which was once made from volcanic rock. Here are some pictures that I took of the castle. Some areas were completely destroyed in the Okinawa Assault of World War II, but there are also areas which survived the barrage. I witnessed rock walls and pathways that had mossy lichens, some of which taking upwards of thousands of years to form. Heavy pitting was also present upon the rocks, demonstrating significant erosion I didn't notice until recently, end quote. Thanks to Chris's message, I investigated the site along with a number of surrounding sites and found that not only is Shuri Castle littered with this amazing lost technique of stone building, count of other ancient castles and forts across the country also share these same characteristics. With the same synonymous incline found at Saksawaman, which has shown the walls to have not only been a formidable barrier for invaders, but allow them to also survive natural disasters such as large earthquakes, the castle of Nakagusuku in the villages of Nakagusuku and Kitenakugutsu, also found upon the island of Okinawa in Japan, is only second in size to Shuri and predictably is academically claimed as the work of distant ancestors, falling within currently permitted history. Known as the Gusuku, this title however is similar to that of Pryenkin. It is a name given to an unknown group, which is clearly a lost civilization, yet due to the forbidden nature of such investigative endeavors within academic fields, is simply a name which allows academia to dodge any explanation for their origins. Gusuku often refers to the castles or fortresses of the Ryukyu Archipelago, which we have now realized are all remnants of a past highly capable, technologically advanced lost civilization. With the origins of which among those who have the courage to study such unexplainable ruins remains a controversial subject, one forbidden by funded institutional individuals from discussing. In the archaeology of the current Okinawa prefecture, the Gusuku period refers to the archaeological period believed to have followed the, quote, mound of shells period, all located in the Ryukyu Kingdom, which the channel now strongly believes as a whole is evidence of a past now academically concealed mega metropolis, which were all the work of the same now lost civilization, and were all connected parts of this same settlement. Regardless of their controversial nature, many Gusuku ruins of the Okinawa Island are fortunately listed as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. Listed under the name of the Gusuku sites and associated cultural properties of Ryukyu Kingdom, they are undoubtedly highly compelling. The underground cities of Cappadocia, Turkey number more than 200 and are spread across the entire region. It is highly possible that there is many more lying below the surface just waiting to be found. Of all the underground cities discovered so far, the most awe-inspiring is perhaps the Derinkuyu city. It was discovered by accident in 1963, when a local family was renovating a house, a wall gave way to reveal a passage that led to this underground network. According to National Geographic, it is 11 levels deep, descending more than 280 feet to the bedrock, covering an area of over 4 miles squared. It includes temples, tombs, shops, living quarters and even livestock pens. Over 15,000 air shafts were built into its design and would have been enough room to comfortably house approximately 20,000 people. The underground city has extending passages that connected to other neighboring and underground water well systems, providing fresh water. What is especially interesting regarding this underground world is the evidence to suggest that they were hiding from something terrifying. A sophisticated security system consisting of a particular build design accompanied by numerous gigantic rolling stone-blocking doors that would seal the city from the inside. Moreover, its multi-layered design meant that each level could be sealed off from the next level using this same system. Just what were these people hiding from? Whatever it was, they obviously preferred to run rather than confront it. The structure was excruciatingly carved into the underground rock and is as strong today as the day it was built, safely accommodating guests such as archaeologists and tourists. Whoever built the network obviously had an advanced knowledge of stoneworking, architecture, engineering and the local geography. Aging the structure has proven very difficult. There are no existing quarries, waste piles or tools to examine. Furthermore, there are no records documenting its construction or people who may have lived there. Also, unfortunately, many cultures have used the underground towns over the centuries. According to UNESCO, it is believed that the first signs of monastic activity in Cappadocia date back to the 4th century, at which time acting on the instructions of Basil the Great in order to resist attacks from the Arabs, the people should band together into small, local communities and begin inhabiting cells dug into the rock. Therefore, modern academia tends to conclude that they were likely built by the Phrygian people around 800 BC. Yet it is also a strong possibility that they are far older than this. By the bishops' instruction, they are to inhabit, not build. Therefore it is safe to assume he was aware of their existence, rather than the person who thought them up. Some believe the underground caves were constructed by the very ancient Persian king Yema. Yema, attributed as mythological by many, is said to have had a lifespan of more than 900 years, a common feature of biblical figures as well. The Zoroastrian text Vendedad states that Yema built an underground city on the orders of the god Ahura Mazda to protect his people from a catastrophic winter. Much like the account of Noah in the Bible, Yema was instructed to collect pairs of the best animals and people as well as the best seeds in order to reseed the earth after the winter cataclysm. This was before the last Ice Age, 110,000 years ago. Hi guys, so today I wanted to share with you an amazing story. It's about a very bright 15-year-old young lad named William Gadori. He has found something archaeologists have missed for centuries. The young lad often wondered why Mayan cities were not located near rivers and seemed to be randomly plotted. This is where the boy made a miraculous discovery.  In discovering a set of three stars the Mayans clearly held in high regards that we were unaware of previously. I did not understand why the Maya built their cities away from rivers, on marginal lands and in the mountains, Gadori told French-Canadian magazine Journal de Montréal. They had to have another reason, and as they worshiped the stars, the idea came to me to verify my hypothesis. I was really surprised and excited when I realized that the most brilliant stars of the constellations matched the largest Maya cities. By plotting these star locations, William has seemingly discovered the ruins of a very ancient pyramid, accompanied by a city in ruins, untouched by humans for over a thousand years. As Daniel Delisle from the Canadian Space Agency told Samuel Osborne at The Independent, the satellite images revealed certain linear features on the forest floor that looked anything but natural. There are enough items to suggest it could be a man-made structure, he said. Gadori has tentatively named the lost city Kaakchi, meaning Firemouth, and will be working with researchers from the Canadian Space Agency to get his discovery published in a peer-reviewed journal. He'll also be presenting his findings at Brazil's International Science Fair in 2017. However, in a strange development, a scientist supposedly quote, familiar with this Mexican region where the odd, city-like features have been discovered, says at least one of them is an abandoned cornfield. How he knows this is unknown. We visited them, and my grad students know them quite well. Anthropologist Joffrey E. Braswell from the University of California, San Diego's Mesoamerican Archaeology Laboratory told George Dvorsky at Gizmodo. Whether this is an attempt at concealing the finds from the public is unknown. But it is sure to put a halt to a public disclosure of all of Gadori's finds at Brazil's Science Fair. There are indeed confirmed lost Mayan cities in this region, two only being discovered last year, one was a completely new find while the other was a rediscovery, a confirmation of reports of its existence. With the young man coming up with such a compelling theory, complete with confirmed hypothesis, and ruins being confirmed as dotting the 1,800 square mile region of jungle, you have to wonder how specialists can shrug such positive leads off from such a bright young person without further investigation, whether withheld from public scrutiny or not. Within a place called Laos, a landlocked country in the heart of the Indo-Chinese peninsula, is probably one of the most confusing archaeological sites on Earth. We have often covered possible evidence left within countless newspaper archives, blog-witness testimonies, and indeed many stolen bodies of a type of ancient human far larger than we are today. Additionally, there have been many intriguing ancient giant artifacts which have been found at many sites around the world, tools, utensils, and structures. Created in such scales, they would be virtually useless in the hands of modern-sized people. And our archaeological site within Laos could perhaps be seen as one of the more compelling remnants, possibly left by this gigantic race of humans. However, what is seemingly the most perplexing mystery regarding this site is the aptly named Frogman, discovered at the center of this entire historical puzzle. Known as the Plain of Jars, it is an enormous ancient site, littered with countless giant stone jars manufactured to such a scale they are clearly too large for any practical use by humans of today. Numbering over 400 at just one site, the original purpose for these stone jars high up in these locations, if indeed they were manufactured by our ancient ancestors, is a question which has evaded modern explanation and may remain impossible to answer. Out of the many hundreds of jars, it would seem none were ever decorated. All remained completely blank, except one single jar. A single giant jar adorned with the image of a frogman. According to academia, the jars date from the Iron Age around 500 BC, although any compelling reasoning for this remains elusive. It is undoubtedly one of the most important prehistoric sites in Southeast Asia, and it undoubtedly deserves more attention. Who carved these enormous jars? Why make them to such enormous and thus impractical sizes? Where did the stone come from? Or indeed, how were they carried to their final resting places high up on these plateaus? Were they possibly made by a race of giants? Who is our frogman character? Was this single image a signature left by the original makers of these giant jars? Unfortunately, we may never know. Sardinia is undoubtedly one of the most overlooked areas of ancient interest to be found anywhere in the world. Located within the Mediterranean, it's a large Italian island with 2,000 kilometers of coastline dotted with sandy beaches. The interior, however, contains some of the most heavily concentrated ancient ruins to be found anywhere. Thousands of structures known as Nuragis litter the island. Stone structures masterfully shape like beehives, often with domed roofs that from inside reveal the mastery of the original constructors, with the largest and oldest of which known as Sunuragi in Barumini. The Nuragi is a unique feature of the island of Sardinia that, according to mainstream academia, were constructed during the Nuragic Age, between 1900 and 730 BC. However, the Nuragi is not the only compelling ancient ruin to be found upon the island, that regardless of the mundane academic explanation for their origins, are indicative of an enigmatic, highly capable, lost group of ancient beings, locally said to have been of tremendous size. Known as the Giant's Graves, or Tumba de Gigantis locally, the legends that can be found still circulating within the local population tell of giants having once been responsible for these structures, with the graves supporting such claims due to their enormous scale. However, predictably, academics argue that the size of these tombs were merely due to them being mass graves, although any remains from these supposed Nuragic inhabitants, dated to the Bronze Age, remain elusive. Additionally, many of these giant graves, which number around 800, are constructed using enormous megalithic stones many tons in weight. This use of enormous stones is strangely absent from the 2,000 or so Nuragi that are instead constructed from more manageably sized stones. However, interestingly, legends in other areas of the Med, such as the Navita destodoms found in Menorca, also built with manageable stones, shares these legends of giants having once been responsible, a structure built for human habitation by supposed giants using similarly sized stones as the Nuragia. Gantia, found on yet another Mediterranean island called Gozo, shares these same local legends of giant builders. Is it mere coincidence that all of these ancient ruins are found within the same global vicinity as each other? An extremely ancient ritual, still practiced within Sardinia, predating Christianity by a considerable time, could hold clues to the construction of these giants' graves. A carnival so old, the story behind its purpose has been lost throughout the ages. Depicting monsters of giant proportions, often covered in cowbells and adorned with horns or goats heads, these monsters march through the local town, controlled as they go by human-looking counterparts named the Isohidores. Known as the Carnival of the Mamothonus, what exactly the Mamothonus are, or indeed possibly were, is also lost to history. Although these beasts who grunt and stomp through the town center are tethered and controlled by the Isohidores as they go, were these mysterious beasts once a real creature? Were they utilized for their strength and size by these Isohidores to build the inexplicable structures still found within Sardinia? Are these widespread yet openly shared local legends passed down from generation to generation, pertaining to giants having once been responsible for Sardinia's intriguing ruins a true story? With the visually stunning ancient ritual still preserved by the Sardinians, clues to the origins of the giants' graves and indeed the Narages? We find the spectacle practiced by the Sardinians, along with their local legends surrounding the giants' graves, highly compelling. We recently covered the astonishing archaeological discoveries located within the modern-day Turkey. We discussed the unexplained ancient ruins of Gobleki Tepe, clearly a remnant of a far more ancient, far more advanced civilization than academia would ever allow contemplation of. Additionally, and the focus of the last video, the other ancient gem known as Norsen Tepe, a highly complex, thus highly advanced ancient temple whose contents indicated no less than 40 additional re-inhabitations of the structure after the original construction, now conveniently hidden under several meters of water, submerged during a dam-building operation. Why this operation was undertaken, or indeed why this site in particular was chosen for flooding, may become apparent with our next place of interest. It seems that some of the sites within Turkey have revealed some extremely well-preserved, extremely ancient artifacts, left by numerous as yet unknown civilizations. And although these finds have seemingly been concealed from mankind, fate is seemingly on our side. Ironically, a site of complete opposite characteristics, having not been touched or re-inhabited for untold millennia, has also been unearthed within Turkey. Alacahoyak, a site on the surface, perceived to have been a primitive archaeological ruin, dating back to 2350 to 2150 BC, over 4,000 years ago. And yet, upon deeper exploration, an analysis seemingly undertaken too late for academia's dating, has shown that the site possesses evidence of the same lost technology, or more specifically, advanced knowledge of stone construction, found at many other ancient, unexplained sites around the Earth. Like Saxa Huaman, a site we also covered previously, it must be clear to everyone that academia's dating of these sites is not accidental. Was the dating too hastily concluded? We would assume that a dating of over 4,000 years is now difficult to accompany with such advanced knowledge of stone carving and construction. But how old is Alacahoyak? And the same question as always, based on the unexplainable knowledge involved in its creation, who could have built it? We have, in the past, explored some truly remarkable ancient ruins that can be found within Russia. Some of the largest blocks to be found anywhere on Earth can be found within this enormous country. Along with many other intriguing and spectacular finds, still left to be publicly documented, most notably within the notoriously hostile and extremely eerie Ural Mountain Range, a place long rumored to be the home of the elusive snow yeti. Left abandoned for untold millennia, laying within a Siberian lake far from modern civilization, has one of the most scientifically baffling sites to be found anywhere on planet Earth. Claimed to be only a mere 1,300 years old, yet any compelling evidence to back up such predictable claims by certain bodies within historical academia are not forthcoming. Additionally, they harvest no real logical explanation for the site's clear antiquity, reason for abandonment, or indeed construction. It seems with very little to go on, certain groups within constrictive learning practices would like the world to believe that this perplexing site was built a mere 1,000 or so years ago. Known as Porbazin, it is a 3.5 hectare artificial man-made island located in a remote, unnamed Siberian lake between the Seyan and Altair ranges, about 3,800 km from Moscow near the Mongolian border. The site was first discovered in 1891, and the purpose of the island has still not been explained over a century later. It is still a mystery for, quote, experts to explain, although they still strongly insist it was constructed no more than 1,400 years ago. An in-depth archaeological exploration took place in 2007, with archaeologists discovering clay tablets of human feet and faded colored drawings on the plaster. These were subsequently used to date the site to quite recently within antiquity, allowing experts to say that the island was built during the period of the Ugyur Kaganate between 744 and 840 AD. However, they severely lack any clear explanation as to what their motives would have been for constructing such a fortress, in such a solitary place so far from trading routes, their own civilization, or indeed anything else of interest. As with many other confusing and as yet unexplained ruins around the world, the archaeological strata most preferred to academia's currently upheld story in regard to chronological events will always be preferred, and the controversial, and often strong, evidential datings are ignored or destroyed. Is poor Bajin a far older and once far more advanced site than we are led to believe? With the advances in technology allowing us to venture further and further into the wilderness, it is only a matter of time before a self-funded, inquisitively-minded individual gets a chance to take a really good look at this amazing place. Most people have never heard of Pareidolia, but nearly everyone has experienced it. Anyone who has looked at the moon and spotted two eyes, a nose, and a mouth has felt the pull of Pareidolia. It's the imagined perception of a pattern or meaning where it does not actually exist, according to the World English Dictionary. It's picking a face out of a knotted tree trunk or finding zoo animals in the clouds. One design studio on Formative is undertaking perhaps the world's largest and most systematic search for Pareidolia. Their Google Faces program will spend the next few months sniffing out face-like shapes in Google Maps. This phenomena of seeing faces was also attributed to the very famous face of Sidonia that was found on Mars. The face was first imaged in detail by the Viking I and Viking II orbiters. 18 images were taken by the orbiters. Viking I launched on July 20, 1976 and Viking II orbited Mars on July 25, 1978. The striking likeness the apparent natural formation had to a face allowed the image to quickly gain notoriety around the world. The possibility of ancient ruins being on Mars is not a hypothesis held by modern science. And it is certainly not a scenario that NASA endorses. Neither does any other space-going nation appear to have any interest in investigating the possibility. Many conspiracies have surfaced over the years regarding covert operations in search of exactly such ruins on our neighboring planets. Many claiming black operations have occurred, such as an Apollo 20 program, with some rather convincing CGI hoaxes subsequently being created. Regardless, what a number of authentic researchers have managed to accomplish by just studying imagery of Mars and also of historical knowledge of the region held here on Earth is quite remarkable. Modern orbital imagery of the Sidonia region of Mars have attempted to debunk the face as just being a product of light angle. However, thankfully people did not let these debunking efforts dissuade them from further investigations of the area. Some researchers who were versed in the works of Zachariah Sitchin connected the location to the possible burial site at King. Recorded within the 10th Sumerian tablet, Sitchin had apparently translated a passage regarding a god known as Alalu, who requested upon death to be buried, where he would be able to peer into space gazing upon Earth forever. Although many claim Sitchin's vague understanding of the writings may have led to mistranslations, Sitchin became convinced that this 10th tablet also laid claims to King being the constructor of the pyramids. People who knew these fragments of information actually connected a network of apparent extremely ancient pyramidal ruins resting very near to the face. These remnants of once great structures undoubtedly align with the star constellation of Pleiades. What is astonishing is that these ruins would not have been discovered without Sitchin's translations. Was Sitchin right all along? Is this really proof of ancient ruins on our nearest neighbor? The alignments are certainly compelling and must be more than just coincidence. As always, thanks for watching guys and until next time, take care. Kulab, a site that I have previously covered and also personally exposed the true scale of. Seemingly, or more than likely deliberately overlooked by academia. Kulab not only possesses an enormous ancient wall which surrounds the entrance to the site, which according to academia, was seemingly placed upon the plateau of a naturally formed hill. However, after personally investigating this site myself, I found that not only had the wall constructed took unimaginable effort to build, but that the site beyond this impenetrable fortress had in fact been backfilled with earth. Artificially creating the plateau that geologists, academics, and archaeologists alike long ignored and merely assumed was selected due to natural features, were in fact artificially created. However, it is clear for all to see that not only was the plateau painstakingly created to backfill to this fortress' wall, but the ingenious entrances were also the work of a people of tremendous intellect. Many of the passageways into the site allow many to enter the passages. However, as the invaders made their way along these elevations to penetrate the fortress itself, not only were they wide open to arrow fire from above from both sides, but also by design, the passageways slowly narrowed to a point where only one person at a time could actually enter the site. However, the purpose of this video is not the astonishing architectural features of the site itself, but possibly an exposure of the true creators of the site, a group of people with characteristics which may come as a shock to some and been long predicted by others. Found deep within a cave system within the site, a burial chamber at the depth of 800 meters, a burial chamber created at this location for the sole purpose of preserving these individuals' remains for as long as possible, and also to avoid the ravages tomb raiders that have been experienced over the eons by many of the other burial sites by many different cultures. There are many wooden idols that have seemingly been treated with lost technologies and have survived the climate astonishingly well, yet this set of mummies could expose once and for all who were responsible for this astonishing site and indeed its miraculous characteristics. Thankfully, although much of the ancient tombs had been ravaged by robbers over the years, this absence of mummies didn't deter archaeologists war and church, whose work for 19 years to save lost pechudos and learn its secrets. Seemingly successfully unraveling its innermost protected secrets, and possibly coming face to face with its original builders, they were known as the Chachapoya, or the cloud people by the Incas, who by this stage had re-inhabited the ancient pre-Incan ruins which dot-poro, and due to the ingenious nature of the fortress, the tremendous efforts that went into building it, and the seemingly impenetrable nature of its design, the cloud people seemingly survived all the way up until the Spanish invasion, only succumbing to the introduction of smallpox, which the Spanish seemingly brought with them. An intriguing characteristic of these enigmatic people is the fact that they left no written language yet adorned their site with countless stone carvings of orchids, butterflies, and jaguars. According to Warren Church, for more than 500 years, the Chachapoya cut farm terraces and villages into these steep slopes. This burial chamber found deep within the site shows that not only did they display great respect for their dead, but that they were of European origin, white-skinned and blonde-haired, with Church apparently stating that the mummies are of the most beautiful past people he has ever witnessed. Were these mummies the remains of the original builders of this astonishing site? Or were they like the Incas, merely re-inhabitations, although how they got there to these Peruvian hills and controllers of Kulap itself remains a mystery. Yet white mummies of a seemingly European ancestry have been found throughout the globe. Does this suggest that the ruling force we so often postulate once existed? That many known as the Atlanteans shared their knowledge across the globe before catastrophe? Regardless of their ethnicity, we find such research by Church highly admirable and such discoveries highly compelling. While perusing the many perplexing sites we are yet to cover on our channel, we stumbled across something which could quite possibly be a massive clue, evidence left as to the method of construction of many ancient sites found all over Earth. Our channel has, for a long time, put forward the hypothesis that a highly advanced worldwide civilization once flourished here on our planet. We believe that many of the ancient sites which display unexplained architecture were left by this lost people placed far within our distant past. And once one begins to investigate these ruins with this possibility in mind, you start to notice some compelling things regarding these amazing sites. For example, the metal clamps we have previously covered, often created using impressive mixes of alloys and somehow poured molten, could now be seen as earlier architectural examples less than the mortarless, mysteriously notched stonework also found in similar areas all over the world with the more precise and thus more impressive stonework seen as a later, more sophisticated method of construction. What's more, although virtually all ancient sites have been dated to the most convenient suspects within known taut history, there also exists the numerous caves and temples, hewn from the solid bedrocks, carved with such accuracy and vision, they elude recreation even by our modern-day technology. And while looking at an amazing rock-cut cave within the site of Mamalapuram, India, a site we are now convinced was left by this same civilization, a curious piece of evidence seemingly presented itself. Upon the roughly finished roof of this ancient cave is evidence left by the same technology used to not only cut the astonishingly huge Long Yu caves, but also the abandoned Lang Shan quarry both in China. This discovery, we believe, is only just the beginning of a realization that these telltale signatures are present at many other unexplained sites around the world. We have long stipulated that many of the ancient ruins claimed by our more modern-day ancestors are most likely not their actual creations. If the structure does date to this more recent age, they are usually found to be sitting upon the telltale remnants of a highly precise ancient foundation, originally left by this elusive group. Who were these amazing people? When do they flourish here on Earth? What happened to them? Why did they never record how they created such wonders? Although it is easy for skeptics to argue that the caves in architecture were merely created through excruciating hard labor, any practical demonstration of this has eluded us for many centuries. Furthermore, many of the extensive cave excavations found all over the world, presumably dating back to this bygone age, are all absent any waste, as if the machine task with creating these underground labyrinths turned stone to dust. And although the technology and or possible machinery tasked with the job has evaded modern archaeology to this point, it is clearly another piece of evidence which takes us one step closer to unraveling the true history of our planet. Mazda Cave, within modern-day Turkey, is unquestionably an astonishing place. An enormous cave system that many people simply assume is a natural formation, with select areas quarried out, subsequently used to build numerous ruins throughout the area. However, what many people have seemingly overlooked, and we presume funded academics have deliberately ignored, are the signatures left all over the stonework throughout the network of caverns, strongly indicating that this huge complex was once somehow hewn by ancient man. Also, and perhaps most intriguingly, is that this task was completed using a number of different advanced tools, whose marking, thanks to ours and others astute research, has also been found scarred upon many other ancient sites, some located far away from this enigmatic cave system. The stone, once quarried out to create this enormous cavern, subsequently located as having been used to create a number of remarkable precision-cut monuments, including a once-existing wall, which surrounded an ancient site known as Hieron. Additionally, due to the realization of this quarried stone having been used in Hieron, in addition to our own previous research, we have successfully linked Basda to yet more ancient ruins, all dated to vastly different areas within history. Thanks to our channel's creator possessing a photographic memory, we have correlated undeniable characteristic similarities, connecting many of these ancient sites throughout the world. Firstly, the signatures left by advanced stone-cutting technologies, tool marks left upon the cave system's walls, scars upon the stonework, which are present at many other sites—Ballback in Lebanon, Petra in Jordan, Yangshan quarry within China, and at least two rock-cut monuments within India, the roof of a precision-cut cave, and an unfinished temple known as Veduvankoyal. This crescent-shaped scarring, often of an overlapping fashion, we feel, is reminiscent of scars left by modern-day tunnel-boring equipment. Yet due to the lack of in-depth research surrounding such anomalies, with these tool marks, as far as we are aware, only receiving limited attention at Ballback, and merely photographed at Yangshan, have begun to name such markings ourselves in an effort to categorize and identify such curiosities being discovered worldwide, with these now known to us as Crescent Cup and Ring Marks. The second form of scarring, found upon much of the cave's roof, now known to us as Groove and Ridge Markings, are distinctly different in form and appearance to the Crescent Cup and Ring Marks. These rows of grooved scars, however, are identical to those found in plain sight upon the unfinished obelisk located within Aswan Quarry, Egypt. A stone monument well over a thousand tons in weight, which has long been academically argued, has having been abandoned where it lay, due to a fault line discovered during the quarrying process. However, interestingly, others have presented strong evidence that this crack appeared later within history. A fellow alternative researcher, Chris Dunn, argues within his book, Advanced Technology in Ancient Egypt, that the crack happened later on in the obelisk's life, and that the monolith was abandoned before the fault appeared. Backing up his claim, he shows that details upon the monument were being engraved over the top of the location of the fault line, an undertaking that would have clearly been illogical. Although he does not put forward a postulation as to why this crack occurred, we believe it may have been due to a shift in the surrounding geography, more than likely a ground-shifting earthquake, not only cracking the obelisk, but possibly due to and accompanied by a cataclysmic event which quite possibly caused the demise of the civilization, who were liberating the obelisk, thus leaving it unfinished. But I digress. Our focus is upon the scars left by enigmatic, clearly advanced stone-cutting tools, preserved with clarity upon the erosion-resistant granite of the obelisk. These exact markings also undeniably litter the ceiling of the Bosda cave. Additionally, these groove and ridge marks are also found upon the megalithic, often polygonal stonework within Peru, at Cusco, the fortress of Sacsayhuaman, and Machu Picchu, to name but a few. The third set of signature scarring upon the cave stone walls links Bosda cave to another similarly gigantic, artificially created cave system, known as Longyu Caves, located within China. Once an undoubtedly immense excavation, yet the quarried stone from this undertaking has never been located.  However, thankfully, the quarried stone from the Bosda cave systems, as mentioned, was utilized and located. However, the civilization responsible for shaping these quarried stones at Haran were unquestionably responsible for several other sites found around the world. YouTube channel New Earth, first linking these curiously shaped stones to Nimad's fortress on Mount Hermann, with Jarash in Jordan, with us continuing this trail of connecting ancient dots, thankfully due to the uniqueness of stonework. Let's compare Dinimrod fortress with this historic city in Jordan, which according to mainstream sources was conquered by the Romans and they built their typical Roman architecture consisting of columns and so on on the top of the older ruins.  Now those very same blocks, when they are in Balbek, they are telling us it's Roman. In the Temple Mount they are again assuring us that they are some 2000 years old. In Bosnia they are telling us they are whatever, three or more thousand years old and of course they are built by some obscure unknown tribe of which even the name they had to fabricate. Enabling us to link the Royal Kurgan and Crimea to New Earth's discoveries and now to the ancient ruins of Haran in Turkey. Not only can we argue that this cave system was indeed man-made, but is the only site we know of that possesses such an array of these enigmatic stone-cutting technology scars. Allowing us to successfully link it to at least 15 ancient sites around the world. The cave itself, Bosran, Haran, Balbek, Petra, Jarash, Yangshan, Longyu, Vetivankoyl, Malmala-Param, Kusko, Saxe-Huaman and Machu Picchu, Nimrod's Fortress and the Royal Kurgan, possibly many others we are yet to recognize. In conclusion, the vast array of different, as yet unidentified, advanced stone-cutting equipment scars present within the cave, each leaving its own unique signature upon the stone. The shaping of these stones, unique to an unknown civilization's signature handiwork, and worldwide, used within an array of as yet unexplained ruins, academically claim to be of vastly different ages and the work of vastly different cultures. We find it not only clear evidence of academic fallacy, but incredibly compelling. Due to the rigidity of academic opinion regarding the history of man, many sites are stubbornly attributed to civilizations that were simply incapable of their construction. Mausoleums, temples, and other structures found all over the world often carved straight out of the bedrock with such artistic vision and accuracy, they rival even the artistic masterpieces created during the Renaissance. Temples such as the Kalesh, among many others found within India alone, that were somehow carved straight out of rock hillsides with stunning precision. Such astonishing feats of ancient stonework that to claim they were created by the currently academically attested cultures, we feel is absurd. Not only are many of these ancient, unexplainable structures built with the utilization of seemingly impossibly huge megalithic blocks, but they also display masonry techniques and refined stone carving that we believe the only logical explanation for their origins is that of a once highly capable, technologically advanced civilization's workmanship. For example, our recent research surrounding the Bosda cave system, the confirmed quarry for the nearby ancient ruins of Haran, with a focus on the stone cutting toolmarks found within and indeed the easily identifiable shape of the blocks built from this undertaking, we perceive as a possible missing link now connecting a vast number of ancient ruins around the world. Due to it being confirmed as the quarry for Haran, and the unique shape of the stones used in the construction of the site, we have been able to link this signature style of block cutting to many other sites around the globe. With the astonishing ancient rock cut structures found at the site known as Myra, now also identified as one of these sites, predictably claimed as tombs by academia. And although there is no substantiated written reference for Myra existing before it was listed as a member of the Lycian League in 168 BC, the stonework still existing at the site, thanks to ours and New Earth's efforts, could be seen as that of the same as many other ancient sites, also possessing these signature blocks found at Hassan, which we strongly feel due to a large amount of evidence as having a pre-Diluvian origin. These identifiable features most notably found within the theater of Myra, and although the flooring has been robbed out, which we presume was once polygonal, just like that of the flooring found still existing at the ancient amphitheater of Delphi. Additionally, the precision with which these pertained tombs were cut into the sheer cliff face is to us clear evidence of a civilization's work far more capable than that of the academically claimed builders, the Iron Age Lycians or even the Greeks. We suspect, like the many other incredibly built ancient sites around the world, this site was merely re-inhabited by later civilizations, utilized and indeed claimed as their work. Not only due to an absence of documentation of their existence prior to this habitation, making academia's claim to their creators an easy assertion to make, but also due to the perceived illusionary capabilities that these monuments would have lent to the Greeks, and prior to them, the Lycians' architectural skills. There are two necropolis of these rock-cut temple fronts found at Myra. The first being the River Necropolis, and the second being the Ocean Necropolis. The best-known tomb in the River Necropolis is the Lion's Tomb, also called the Painted Tomb. This name given to the tomb by traveler Charles Fellows, who in 1840 found the tomb to have still been colorfully painted in red, yellow, and blue. Lycia is known to history since the records of ancient Egypt and the Hittite Empire in the Late Bronze Age. It was populated by speakers of the Luion Language Group. Written records began to be inscribed in stone in the Lycian language after Lycia's involuntary incorporation into the Acumenid Empire during the Iron Age, with ancient sources indicating that an even older name for the region was Alope. How can academics continue to claim that such precisely-cut stone structures were the work of such primitive cultures? We believe it to be far more logical to presume that these precision-cut structures were already in existence during these eras, and probably the reason for the area's initial inhabitation. Who built the ancient rock-cut structures of Myra? Were they, as we postulate, created by the same advanced-law civilization we have linked through the stonework to sites the world over? It is undoubtedly an incredible location, with particular identifiable features, which we find highly compelling. After many years exploring the remnants of a past highly advanced-law civilization, a civilization who after extensive study, we have identified fingerprints of on literally every continent on Earth, whose identity we have relentlessly searched for. We now feel, after several astonishing realizations, that it may have been right under our nose this entire time. A civilization that no matter which ancient ruin you find yourself within the world over, undoubtedly vanished during a mysterious event, coming to an untimely demise at the hands of a possible cataclysm, with many theories surrounding a great flood of biblical proportions. As most of you will be aware, there exists legends of a mysterious civilization, which seemingly shares these rumors of demise, yet the connection between them, as far as the general population is aware, has never been made. A civilization that many a scholar has concluded was not only a highly capable, technologically advanced and highly intelligent group, but was also hell-bent on world domination. This civilization is most commonly known as the Atlanteans. Illogically, however, regardless of the immense study of this group traveling far and wide in pursuit of this world control, we have only ever been told of them existing upon a single mystical continent, a place that has been searched for by countless people for over 2,500 years. Yet predictably, academia staunchly denies any existence of this past culture, or indeed its influence upon a now lost part of human civilization. However, we feel this is a clue which will support our following assertions. Researchers and scholars worldwide have discussed Atlantis for many years, proposing a number of theories and personal opinions as to its past location. A theory of a single continental inhabitation, we now feel has been a successful red herring, leading many a talented investigator down an inevitable dead end. Ken Fedder, professor in archaeology, however, suggested several things regarding Atlantis in his book Frauds, Myths, and Mysteries, Science and Pseudoscience in Archaeology. Professor Ken suggested, as a result of extensive exhaustive study, that the Atlanteans were incredibly sophisticated yet perceived as an evil culture that attempted to dominate the world by force. Professor Ken portrays the Atlantean civilization as an evil and war-based civilization whose only goal was conquest, a hypothesis we feel we can not only support but extend upon with a large volume of our own research. A Swedish scientist and writer called Olas Redback proposed a rather interesting theory between 1679 and 1702. He wrote a 3,000-page treatise, comprising a total of four volumes called Atlantica, in which the author attempts to suggest, and indeed prove, that Sweden was Atlantis, the cradle of civilization, and that all human languages evolved from Swedish. We do not confirm nor deny this hypothesis, but we do feel, regardless of where the Atlanteans originated from, they were not existing upon a single mystical continent that sunk into the Abyss, but were indeed the dominant force which could be found settled throughout the world. Through our own continuing extensive research of ancient ruins around the world, and the numerous links that we have individually made surrounding these particular ruins, technological characteristics, similarities in building techniques, and unexplained architectural advances, we have concluded that these technologies were shared, not constructed by the same group, but shared as if by a dominating force. We have found, and indeed proven beyond doubt, that there is indeed undeniable links between the technologies used in their construction. For example, the enigmatic toolmarks found upon megaliths are uncannily similar. The techniques used to build such a structure are, for example, the enigmatic toolmarks found upon megaliths are uncannily similar. The techniques used to build such monuments, such as metal clamps, although varying in shape and metallurgy, the actual knowledge behind such advancements seems to have been shared by a controlling ruling class, who we now feel matches the known identity of the Atlanteans, the only logical culprit, supported by historical rumor of their technological dominances, the only suspect present with an ancient historical account, and although these scholars search for a particular continent, we feel we can argue we're present on nearly all. Interestingly, there once existed an unquestionably important historical depiction found upon a Mayan plaque showing the extinction of this mythical advanced civilization at the hands of super volcanic eruption and a resulting deluge. We hypothesize, and we feel quite logically, that Atlantis sunk due to a worldwide cataclysm, and although they may have indeed originated from a specific location, Atlantis was not a single continent. But the pre-Diluvian world thus can be identified as the worldwide advanced civilization we have searched for, and regardless of our own continued research, which supports the existence of a civilization that does indeed match their description. Clues have also been left to us regarding this possibility throughout history, by some of the greatest philosophers to ever live. If, for example, a super volcanic eruption was to occur, possibly triggered due to naturally occurring increases in solar energy, possibly a cyclical characteristic of our own sun, then this gigantic plume of ash would plunge the earth into complete darkness for an unknown duration, possibly triggering an ice age. However, immediately prior to this plummeting of temperature, a dramatic increase in worldwide temperature would be experienced due to this belch of volcanic activity. This dramatic rise global temperature would melt the ice caps at an incredible pace, flooding the earth and thus giving birth to the legends of the sinking of Atlantis, and indeed the biblical flood. This once existing artistic depiction of this event, created by a surviving Mayan artist, not only shows the eruption of a gigantic volcano, but a man in a boat attempting to escape this event, rowing away hopelessly into the rising deep blue ocean, surrounded by drowning parties, and a sinking landmass covered in ancient pyramids which can be seen behind. This landmass, according to the artist, was known as Astlan, which translates to English as Atlantis. Our theory that Atlantis was not one continent, but the actual demise of this worldwide advanced civilization, and indeed the world as they knew it, which sunk dramatically, subsequently reformed by this dramatic melting and freezing over the duration of mere weeks or even days, is also supported by a clue left by Plato. According to Plato, and indeed Greek mythology, Atlantis was protected by the god Poseidon, who for some unexplained reason made his son Atlas, king of this mythical land. We perceive this explanation given by Plato as a clue to the fate of not only Atlantis, but the pre-Diluvian world, Atlas being the defining individual and indeed word which could unravel this mystery. Is it mere coincidence that Atlas is incredibly similar in lexical similarity to Atlantis, and also that it is the name given to the map of modern landmasses, and indeed the oceans of our modern world? Could this making of Atlas as king by Poseidon, claimed by Plato, be an admittance to an awareness of the Atlanteans' fate by Plato himself, with Poseidon deciding the fate of Atlantis, the god of the sea, earthquakes, and thus, cataclysm? Has this mythical continent of Atlantis never been found? Because we have already found it. Proof of their existence, and indeed inhabited landmasses, being all the existing advanced ancient ruins we so often cover here on our channel, which escape explanation, surviving above the waves. Not only has the ancient pyramids been found to have once been submerged under several meters of seawater, but countless other ruins we have covered also share this intriguing characteristic. Are we looking at the past existence of the Atlanteans every time we explore an as yet unexplained advanced ancient ruin? The instructors of these ruins, the font of this knowledge, having been the Atlanteans themselves, who, just like the legends tell of, met their untimely demise at the hands of a great deluge? We find the evidence to suggest such highly compelling. Mersin, a large city and port on the Mediterranean coast of southern Turkey, with some extraordinary ancient ruins. Named after an aromatic plant, Mersini, a genus of the Myrtle plant family, a plant which has a deep and mysterious historic relationship with humans, still to be found growing in abundance in the area. A place which 17th century traveler Eviyachi Libbe wrote of, noting an ancient clan named Mersino Libbe, presumably also named after this special species of plant. Excavated by John Garstang, who managed to examine 23 levels of occupation at the mysterious ruins. According to academia, the ancient fortifications found at the location were put up around 4,500 BC, with the site, like so many others we have covered over the past two years, abruptly abandoned at some point within antiquity. That although obviously due to a cataclysmic event far before 4,500 BC, is a date argued by funded academics worldwide. Our recent video explaining our own conclusions of this being due to natural cyclical solar activity, subsequently triggering volcanic eruptions, which in turn triggered great floods and a possible ice age. It seems struck a chord that some do not want resonating, with it being aggressively dismissed by a volley of objections coming from several directions and sources. Our own thesis, based upon personal, exhaustive and detailed exploration, often accompanied by our own personal discoveries it cites the world over. Discoveries never before made or indeed publicly shared. Often intriguing connections linking these ancient sites with each other. Our theory regarding their demise, however, has been attempted to be dismissed, seemingly en masse, in favor of a comet impact, with most of mainstream media, including Nat Geo and indeed the Smithsonian, not forgetting a certain suspiciously successful YouTube channel, which we shall not mention the name of, who we now perceive as controlled opposition to our own hard-earned discoveries and conclusions thereof, releasing a volley of opposing claims shortly before and immediately after our own release of information surrounding our solar hypothesis. This released within our video concerning Atlantis being that of the pre-Diluvian world rather than a single continent, with these mainstream edities pushing an opposing theory in unison relating to a conveniently timed discovery of a comet impact crater in Greenland. Additionally, we also believe we have unraveled, after some contemplation, their motivations for attempting to conceal solar activity as being the original causation. Yet, we will leave it up to you to decide why these ancient sites worldwide were seemingly all abandoned. Our reason for being reluctant to present a full expose of not only our discoveries regarding their motive for concealing solar activity, but also who would want to, is that we truly feel exposing such agendas would jeopardize our work in several ways. We may digress, however, if we continue our work along the same path. The astute among you may come to realize such motivations on your own. The focus of this video, however, is not solely regarding the recent attack we witnessed upon our work, regardless of the mountain of evidence we have surrounding solar activity. It does not regard the neolus worship of the sun. A culture we have long postulated were a surviving fragment of this one's highly advanced civilization, or rather, what we now perceive was an obsession with the observation of the sun, due to fearful memories, rather than that of worship. But rather, the uncanny advanced, as yet unexplainable architecture, which can be found dotting Mersin and indeed the world. Mersin, like many other extremely ancient well-built fortifications, became a part of many states and civilizations, the Hittites, Assyrians, Persians, Greeks, Seleucids, and Laggards, to name but a few. With polygonal masonry being one of the most easily recognized characteristics – a characteristic for all you amateur explorers out there to use to easily identify sites as pre-Diluvian – littering the site, it is a sophisticated unexplained form of masonry that is also found within Peru, Egypt, Necromantheod, uncannily similar in style, may we add, although many other Greek sites such as Delphi, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Turkey, Lebanon, and so on. A method of construction left by a civilization, we now feel the evidence for the existence of, and indeed them being academically hidden, thanks to ours and others' exhaustive efforts, has become overwhelming. And our suspicions regarding the reasons for the concealing of them, and indeed the reason for their demise, are irrelevant. Even if subsequently blaming climate fluctuations upon our planet, on human activities, is not only incredibly profitable, but also a cunning method of controlling the human population. These circumstantial factors are irrelevant to the evidence of the past existence of this extremely intelligent, clearly technologically advanced and capable civilization. Evidence that has seen funded institutes scrambling to push specific opinions upon inquisitive minds. Regardless of whether we now realize the motivation behind the attack on our channel, undoubtedly being due to the fact that we are certainly onto something, regardless of Poseidon's trident. The undeniable links of this symbolic weaponry with modern-day destroyers, whether physical nuclear threats or spiritual depictive clues, indicators of specific human capabilities, not placed out of mockery, but a nod to those in the know. That if you watch our previous video carefully, we'll realize strongly supports our theory regarding the Atlanteans, Plato's clue, and academia's awareness, yet concealment of such realities. These modern factors are irrelevant to our mission of unraveling the past. However, the fact that it seems that we must now tread carefully regarding the truth of ancient Earth. We do not find concerning, for indeed, we have long expected this reaction, a consequence we predicted would occur once we started to get close to a truth. A truth hidden by profiteering. Rather, we find it all to be highly compelling.


What's good job your boy Ross back here again with another video. So if you missed my stream last night I was having a tough time on a particular boss in Halo Infinite to the point Where I started to rage and this is that clip of me constantly dying to this particular boss over and over and over To the point where the rage was spewing out of me and it was Entertaining for those who was watching definitely not entertaining for me as I was going through it But I ought to believe overcame the boss.

Hi, my name is Arta Kwam, and I am an elementary reading teacher. In this lesson, I will show you how I teach parts of words. This is called onset and rhyme. Before I teach rhyming, I would start by explaining to students that there are two parts of words. The onset and the rhyme. I would tell them that the onset is the first sound or sound of any word, and that the rhyme is the rest of the word. Let's look at the word cat. The onset of cat is c. The rhyme of cat is at. Let's look at another word. block The onset is bull. The rhyme is ock. Bull. Ock. Block. To start practicing, we would sit together, so I can hear their voices easily, and the students can more easily mirror my gestures. Then we would start practicing by hearing each part of the word and putting them together. While doing this, I would use gestures to help them visualize the construction of a word, using one hand to represent onset and the other to represent rhyme. I would say the students would repeat c at. Together we would say cat and move our fists together, representing the word. We would continue with more words. Say buh. Oh, put them together. Oh, say guh. Url, put them together. Girl. Say tur. E, put them together. Tree. The next step would be to practice them the opposite way, giving students the word and having them separate the onset and rhyme. Say broom. Break it apart. Bur. Oh. Say boy. Break it apart. Buh. Oy. Say cake. Break it apart. Acke. So that is how I teach onset and rhyme, a skill that is needed to better understand rhyming.


There's this kind of thing in the insurance industry right now where like everyone's like Facebook leads, Facebook leads, Facebook leads, automations, Facebook leads. And that to me is, I don't think that's gonna live that much longer really. I'm already seeing things go down. You need to take a little bit more holistic approach. Now Facebook leads and digital marketing on Facebook still works incredibly well, just like, just like direct mail does. But there's something that's much more impactful and powerful for the long term of your business. If you're trying to grow a business, then you need to invest in your actual business and brand. And we, you know, coach talked about a person of interest. I've used the term content marketing and thought leader. And I want to just kind of unpack this a little bit further to you further, because this is one of the graphs that I showed yesterday in my presentation. I want to kind of just kind of show you exactly what I mean, right? So let's just say this is January and this is December. Okay, so what we're looking at right now, this is the overall like, you know, lead flow traffic that we're getting to our side, et cetera. Maybe Facebook leads, whatever. So leads, et cetera. So everybody right now is focused on the short term, you know, pay $12 for a Facebook lead, $7 for a Facebook lead, whatever. Drive that Facebook lead now. This is like a paid tool. Drive it now to get the return on investment now. And this is a fantastic tool and you can always scale this typically. It's a very, you have to do paid, you know, lead development and paid marketing to get any short term, you know, return on investment at all. The problem though with this is you kind of become dependent on a particular daily budget and you end up, if you ever end up deciding to cut that budget, your overall lead flow goes to zero because you basically spent today and then if you don't get a return on investment on that spent today, then you haven't really like built anything long term. Now, most people kind of keep things going and move things up, but the point is that you're really not building anything in your business whenever you're buying leads, right? So the long term strategy that I want to break out is this whole idea of content marketing becoming a thought leader, but what I find that people have the most struggle with is not agreeing that it's something they should do and it's not like kind of understanding the gist of kind of how it works. Like, yeah, I think I need a blog and I think I need to do some YouTube videos. It's mostly like how to connect the dots to make sure that they're not wasting their time because so many people start and like they just don't feel like they're getting any traction so they quit and they don't really understand, they have no compass, they have no what is north on how to do this content marketing becoming a person of interest, et cetera. So what the whole point of this that we're trying to do is we're trying to create a piece of content today. Let's just call it a blog post, video, whatever, put it on our website, which I'm gonna break down a little bit further and then maybe we get a couple extra clicks to our website and all of a sudden you're kind of just creeping up and before you know it, you're kind of getting some decent traffic, get a thousand bucks, you know, a thousand traffic leads a day or whatever. Now the beauty about this whole deal is two fold. One, we're building a passive lead flow because Google, the amount of Google searches for, if you just look up, I just look up this morning, Uber Suggest is a keyword tool that you guys should look into. It's Neil Patel's keyword tool. It's free. Just Google Uber Suggest and just play around. It's a really cool awesome tool. Neil Patel's a genius. And so I was playing on that today. Just the keyword burial insurance is Google 9,900 times in this last like three weeks or so, which is kind of crazy. And how much higher intent is a person Googling burial insurance than someone that saw Facebook ad talking about their state really good program that's doing now in their area with a picture of the flag on the Facebook page and then they fill out the lead form, then you get your lead form and they also fill out five other lead forms. And then, I mean, the buyer intent is vastly different. So what are you doing to capture that traffic that someone is looking for Medicare office near me or Medicare supplement plan D compared to whatever, right? So that's how you do it. You do it with content marketing. So over time you get this steady drip. Now, what happens if you cut your content marketing budget or you stop blogging instead of it going to zero, you kind of just get to level off right here, right? So you're still, let's just say at the height, we're gonna get, I don't know, 10 leads a day, I don't know, 10 leads a day, but you cut your budget, then you're gonna get 10 leads a day and basic perpetuity until someone takes you over on the content strategy. So whenever I said yesterday on a long enough timeline, you'll always get a better return on investment with your content marketing. That's what I mean. It's like you may spend whatever amount of dollars to get a website stood up and all of that today, but the long-term benefit of the residual leads that you're gonna get far past when you are investing in your site, if you ever decide to stop, is always gonna get your return on investment, 100%. So what I'm gonna do is break down some steps on how to actually do this, okay? So the first step that you're gonna wanna build towards is you gotta create a site map. Now we're gonna spend a very little time on this because I literally showed you guys a gigantic picture of a site map yesterday and I saw a lot of people taking a picture of that. If you guys want that presentation that I did yesterday, just email landon at SecureAgentMarketing.com and I'll have one of my people send you the presentation if you wanna look at that and didn't take enough pictures. But that site map is what that really is is that's defining how many pages. So you've got your homepage, right? And then you've got your, let's just say, met advantage and then you've got your met sub as an example, all right? So what you wanna do is you wanna create, if you were to take your last 1000, I'll say 100 policies that you've written and you could put them into, let's just say, five piles of different business sort of segments, that means you pretty much need five pages of foundational content, does that make sense? So whenever you're building at your site map, it's like let's just say you focus on these particular plans or index annuities or whatever it ends up being, if you have a block of customers that you're trying to attract, then you need a foundational page relevant to that actual block of customers. So that's how you create your site map. So once you create your site map, then you know exactly how many pages you need to create. So the next thing you gotta do is you gotta write the content, right, content. Now, this is easier said than done. You really need about 400 to 800 words per page of foundational content, if you can. It needs to be unique, if you copy and paste, you're in the naughty corner. You might as well not have the page if you're planning on copy and pasting. Not to mention all of these services that take, reproduce blogs and put on your website is killing your SEO because Google does not want duplicate content on your website. So don't do that unless for some reason you get some situation where it's like emailing them first or whatever. But at the end of the day, you don't want duplicate content that's anywhere else on the internet, right? So you gotta write the content, right? Now, yesterday I talked about how to sort of stand up the baseline of the website, right? So the baseline of this website, I really highly recommend just building a WordPress website with an Elementor page builder. So WordPress with Elementor page builder. Now what this will allow you to do is basically stand up whatever page you want and it's really drag and drop in creating pages or it's really not that difficult to do. You could also do things like Wix or Squarespace or one of those out of the box solutions. I wouldn't recommend those because they don't allow you to do whatever you wanna do and this is pretty much just as easy as that. Then once you have your foundational page and you've got your foundational pages built out and WordPress or Elementor, then you need to create a content engine. Content engine, right now. What that really means is Google does not care whose website they show in your particular market. They only care that their users get the best answers to their questions they just Google. So what I mean is if you have the best website that answers the question the best in a particular area, you're on the first page of Google, that's how it works. Google also is trying to get your local searches in Springfield, Missouri to a website or a business in Springfield, Missouri. You can do that by going ahead and making sure you do your fifth thing which is do your Google My Business setup. Google My Business setup. What this does is this makes sure that Google knows that you're anchored in a particular city and that when there's a local search that's done in that particular area, Google's gonna anchor your site and basically say, wow, this keyword mentioned Springfield, Missouri so we're gonna anchor this to that site, right? So now, once you have the site built and you're good to go and you got your content engine moving, all right, supplemental content. Now, all you gotta do is go to Uber Suggest, type in a keyword that you wanna be ranked for and look for the search volume. Spend 15 minutes poking around the tool.  Let's just say, I'm just for the sake of time, let's just say you guys are gonna go after the keyword met advantage, right? So let's just say I've got met advantage, all right, so there's my third piece, my fourth piece and my fifth piece of content that's relevant to that keyword. Now, obviously we want our goals to create hundreds of pieces of content over time but what happens is when you create a content engine, you can't just write the piece of content and you have to actually connect it to a foundational page of your website as well. So let's just say I picked the keyword met a keyword advantage. I create the 400 word blog post, you should just shoot a video relevant to that exact same topic and talk through it, put that video on YouTube, embed that video on your blog, write the article and then there's a way to connect this actual supplemental piece of content to this actual foundational page, okay? So what happens on Google's brain or their little AI is they say, this person Googled Medicare Advantage in Tupelo, Mississippi, Justin and there is three websites that are talking about met advantage in Tupelo. One website has one page that talks about Medicare Advantage but this site has one page plus two, three, four, five, six. So six total pages talking about Medicare Advantage, these five are all pointing to this foundational page. Which page do you think Google thinks is the most authoritative? Obviously it's this page. So what happens is you've created a supplemental piece of content that may get very little traffic overall but it's acting as like a still to prop up your foundational page to show Google that I'm not just one page of content around Medicare Advantage, I've got like a ton of content around Medicare Advantage, right? So whenever you talk about becoming a person of interest and building and becoming a thought leader, this is the core of how it works. So this is really just like the holding tank of all of your content. So if you're like, how do I actually do the content marketing or how does this work? Just do the keyword research, shoot the video, write the article, share it on social and just go after that strategy. Now I'll tell you if you, this is not super easy to do from a time perspective, so you should potentially hire some or all of this out. So that's what our business does and that's why we've been growing so quickly is we do all of these different pieces.  The key though is that this has to get done. Somebody has to do this if you wanna capture that traffic. I can promise you that there's this interesting conundrum in the insurance industry right now where specifically, good, I have more time than I thought, specifically in the Medicare space. I'm just gonna pick on that because that's like the new thing right now from a marketing perspective because there's so many Google searches relevant to Medicare keywords that you can go after these keywords specifically and there's just tons of volume. So something's happening right now where there's a lot of search volume but there's not a lot of websites that are in particular markets that are captioned at local search because the industry as a whole is very behind in general and so there's really not like the local Medicare office in a particular kit that's building a big, gigantic foundational website and shooting videos and connecting that. There's some big websites that are doing this nationwide and they're basically scooping up all the low hanging fruit from the websites that aren't in a particular market because you can compete, if someone searches Medicare Advantage Springfield, Missouri, you'll outrank any of the actual websites that have a higher authority on the general keyword typically because of that qualifier Springfield, Missouri and whenever you look at the actual geotag that people are doing, a lot of people are Googling these keywords trying to find some help, if that makes sense. So the main thing that I wanna try to get through our mind as we're sort of connecting the dots is that the paid traffic is great and that's how you scale and that's how you can like create a lead flow that's consistent and sustainable but the golden goose is really the organic traffic because the person that Googles Medicare Advantage Plan in my area or Medicare Advantage Help and then finds your phone number and then walks into your office is probably the highest intent lead you can possibly get, right? So on the flip side, whenever you're doing these paid traffic tools, it's expensive, first off, like if you look at the Medicare Advantage keywords typically on Google, they're anywhere from 12 to like $19 a piece just for one click and that's not even like a conversion or a lead, that's like a click to your landing page so a good conversion rate is 10, 20, 15% or so so you can just run the numbers on a CPL that way but why do you think people are spending on all these keywords is because it's working, right? But unfortunately Google is built for the big, big, big, big budgets so as a local individual office we can compete in this way so if you are able to have the time to do this, you won't regret it, I promise and that is how you actually connect the dots because what will happen is one of the biggest things that you accomplish when you're building out this constant engine is people work with the people that educate them and so if you have a website that is filled with videos of you talking about your work and how passionate you are and educating your particular topics, whether you get organic traffic or not, you can point people to your website and that comes across as I think a brand voice and a brand tone where it's like I've made a large effort to educate you, go to my website and just poke around because I've got literally like tens of thousands of dollars invested in this site. It'll pay for itself from the organic leads but I think it'll actually pay for itself in intangible ways more by being more of a thought leader and educational focused individual that is educating your particular customer base in a way that not very many people actually are doing and also people still wanna buy from people. This business I don't think is ever gonna be totally automated. In fact, I know a guy that has millions of dollars invested in a marketing funnel that's built to write the policy and not even ever talk to a person and they're struggling like heck and they've got millions and millions of dollars behind this and after they even get the actual contract the persistency is horrible also because there's no human interaction from it. So it's almost like a failed project after this guy threw $30 million at this thing. So people still wanna work with people. So if you can embed videos and your personality into your website while educating it makes you more of a referral source as well. So I hope this makes sense. I hope this adds value to you guys and I hope that you guys can take some of this. Also, we do content like this all the time on our YouTube channel.
