How smart are we to believe in history?

Well, I found out in 2014 when my mother asked me to search online for solar panels for the roof of her house. A simple mission. Or so I thought.

I typed my noble query into Google, expecting brands, prices and maybe a boring comparison table.

Instead, Google served me a YouTube video from Michael Tellinger titled :

200 Thousand Year Old Technology with a giant pyramid staring at me like it knew secrets of the universe.

I asked myself the most intelligent question ever:

What on earth does a pyramid have to do with solar panels?

Looking back at that moment, I now know the Universe had much bigger plans for me.

The kind of plans that start with a simple click and end with you staring at reality like it just played a cosmic prank on you.

I noticed the video was more than two hours long.

Two hours???

Online???

In that era I did not even know YouTube videos could even be that long.

Completely unaware that this one click would stretch my worldview like a rubber band that never intended to snap back to normal.

As the video unfolded, I became deeply grateful.

Grateful for Michael.

Grateful for his work.

Grateful for the fact that nothing in this world seems logical and yet somehow, after watching this video, everything suddenly does.

Michael explains how unbelievably smart we think we are, to swallow every so called fact or theory we were ever told. We were fed stories labeled as history before we could even question anything.

So what could possibly be wrong with what we learned in school, on television and from people who heard the same stories repeated for decades?
