Weird, electrical burn patterns and rivers look similar... almost like they're both following the path of least resistance.

When I was a kid I found all kinds of swords in the woods. They looked like sticks but they had to have been swords from a forgotten civilization that got cast in bark.

Bro really said "if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and swims like a duck, it must be evidence of an ancient civilization"

As a Geologist…I-I just can’t. Literally everything this conspiracy theorist came up with had a geological explanation. I am pretty sure I’m walking away with a few brain cells missing.

Silly Alphatalkz, if he had ever read the acclaimed scientific journal known as the Pokedex, he would know that Ground is in fact Immune to Lightning, and therefore could not form these Lichtenberg Figures

It’s never “scientists can’t explain this phenomenon.” It’s always “scientists can’t explain this phenomenon in a way that is satisfying to ME.”

Dude built an entire conspiracy theory based on just never going outside or seeing a rock.

Hi Milo! Long time listener, first time caller. As an university professor in geology, I am impressed by your description of sedimentary rocks and structures. Good job! I look forward to more of your videos in the future. PS Lichtenberg figures, lighting, erosion, dendritic crystal growth are all fractal patterns. This is why they have a superficially similar form. Their forms have nothing to do with their causes; they are a consequence of following the path of least resistance (see monte carlo simulations and random walk theory).

Also, can we take a sec to talk about why canyons look similar to the electric current pattern? It's literally just cause electricity takes the path of least resistance, just the same as water in a river. Like there is a reason both have "current"

half that dude's vocabulary is "this looks like". grown man learns that sometimes things look like other things. groundbreaking.

There's a very good reason why he keeps seeing pyramid shapes in nature and also man made buildings: This is the best way to stack rocks so they don't fall down.

Imagine seeing a cool looking rock and instead of saying "oh, that's neat" you say "this changes everything, the world must know!"

The most frustrating thing about “The Grand Canyon is a Lichtenberg Figure” hypothesis, is that if he used just a _little bit_ more brain power, he’d find the reason for this similarity. Electricity traveling through wood & water eroding rock have a feature in common: they follow the path of least resistance. That’s what the path of least resistance tends to look like.

As an Indian person, I can say conclusively, as a representative of my people, that we built those temple looking things in Mt. Zion. But we didn't properly seal the materials and so they melted. Also, we left no traces because we're environmentalists and cleaned up our trash, duh!

The round balls are proof that there was once a Super Target in those locations

As someone who still refuses to download Tik Tok. I really appreciate that you started making KZfaq videos more often

"Talk to any engineer!" My father is an engineer, and when inquired about building on slopes, he stated simply: "We're engineers. We make it work, it's not that hard. As long as the foundation is sound and you know the local geography-- i mean, we've been doing this for a few thousand years, it's not a new science. And I mean, it's an efficient way to use space if you're building a city." Engineers dont give a shit if it's on a slope, they take that as a challenge to their intellectual might. Engineers are some of the most batshit crazy inventors out there, and you think a slight incline is going to stop them from making their dream home? Hilarious.

Snowflakes? They're just too crazy, too symmetrical. There's just GOT to be a big snowflake factory in the sky filled with alien snow people who design each one.

I don't yet have a conspiracy theorist bingo card, but I do have a terrible video essayist bingo card and this guy hit all the prerequisites. Soft, reasonable voice; inoffensive piano music; citation-less statements; baseless connections/inferences; visuals/references that debunk their own theories..... You get the idea. LOL. New subscriber and I'm binging before bed. 😁 👍

This guy's the king of "just trust me dude". Making stuff up in his brain and passing it off as fact 🤣 thanks for the awesome debunk!

Guy: *sees literally any rock* Him immediately: this is, in fact, evidence that there was a melted civilian of Atlantis in the heart of Utah

By this man's logic, the blood vessels in our bodies were also formed by an electrical current because they display the same fractal pattern. Maybe that's why we have magnetic personalities :P

Bro Im ngl your humour the way you write or just say what you say is incredible. Just in case you see this comment, from start to finish your KZfaq videos are of impeccable quality. Its really something to be proud of and worth continuing the trend. Thank you

Omg. I was just going through all of my KZfaq Smart Downloads that I didn't know were on my phone and came across this bad boy. I remember when this was released, and it was an instant subscribe for me. I had not, and still have not ever been on TikTok, so this was my very first exposure to Milo, and I've been a follower and fan ever since. It's nice to watch a KZfaqr's first YT video that I really enjoyed, and realize that they havent changed at all, and they are still doing the exact same things as they were in the beginning, and in all of the best possible ways. I'm so glad I found Milo's channel then, and I'm proud to still be a fan and viewer today, and I really look forward to see what him and his team create in the future.

His whole argument is basically "doctors are humans, you look human, you must be a doctor"

My man, not only are you the most entertaining person on tiktok. You are exactly what the world needs right now, dismantling insane conspiracy theories with cold hard facts. I cannot wait for your ancient aliens series. Absolutely love your content.

The start of the greatest history KZfaq Channels Bless you for your Work

I know this video is ancient at this point, but I just wanted to touch on the point of why people need to be called out on their conspiracy theories, and also say that I appreciate that you're doing it, Milo. Someone has to, really _everyone_ has to, but your academic background and relatable way of speaking makes you a really great candidate for being the Loud One. There are a lot of people out there who have their "pet" conspiracy theories, (Kubrick and the moon landing, for example) and yes, they look mostly harmless, but the problem with leaving any of these things standing is that they open doors to more insidious thoughts. Once you're just "asking questions", you can "ask questions" about some really dangerous topics. "Asking questions" about vaccination leads to vaccine hesitancy, which leads to vaccine refusal, which leads to outbreaks of diseases almost no one has seen in 100 years in the west, and even leads to pets living shorter lives because people don't want their dogs to get autism. There are people alive _right now_ who knew people, usually children, who died of these very preventable diseases, and anti-vaxxers just somehow completely ignore that those people exist somehow; they say they want proof, but they don't trust scientists, which means they should trust anecdotes, right? The mental gymnastics and the hubris involved are just astounding. All that to say, thanks for doing what you do man, keep it up! It's important work.

I love how painfully close he gets to a truth, usually “this looks like runoff” and then he immediately goes straight to “it must have been a mega lightning bolt/thermonuclear detonation.”

"Who builds buildings on unlevel ground?...Talk to any engineer". Well, the College of Engineering at my university was built on a slope in 1905.

Crazy to see this after watching so many videos already. Your stuff is awesome. Appreciate it

Keep up the good work! For every quack out there we need people debunking them hard (and in a funny way). Also, you missed one point. The first "pyramid" he points out, at the bottom of a valley that was supposedly made by horizontal lighting (???) would imply that they made the building underground and then the lighting revealed it by creating the valley? Nice work, by the way, your videos cheer me up immensely (and are educational too!)

I'm really feeling sorry for the man who made the melted building theory. He seems so desperate to understand the mysteries around him, but he fails at every step. It's like he is holding a book upside down and is willing to consider any and all options on what it could mean and how to interprete it, except the option of turning it around.

He forgot to mention all those "electrical patterns" on Mars. I guess the Egyptians had a "lightning melts my cities" problem no matter where their colonies were.

This has to be the most informative and entertaining decent into madness I have ever seen. A man at the mountains...wait...The Pyramids of Madness.

10:30 "they don't really look like mountains at all" and what exactly do mountains look like? Is there a specific shape a mountain needs to be to be considered a mountain, or else it's suddenly a secret pyramid?

i've found that conspiracy theories are actually really great for writing fiction. Imagine a planet covered in canyons and caves formed by an actual mega-death-laser striking it

I feel like the worst problem in the theory is that apparently the "pyramid" in the grand canyon was melted in the same "mega lighting" that created the grand canyon... that it apparently was built in

Love the bolo tie & bandana combo. Very dashing.

I love Milo’s videos. I actually have a miniminuteman conspiracy bingo card that I fill out while watching these lol. Almost always get a bingo, I’m one space away for this one and not even halfway there 😂

I love how the heat was so immensely intense that it completely melted the entire "buildings" leaving no trace of their existence behind...but those "bridges" just...persevered.

The words "appears, looks like, and as if" are doing a lot of heavy lifting for this guy's hypothesis.

The only reason people make conspiracies is because they wanna feel special and like they know more than the “common person” Thank you for showing them that this is not the way to fix their insecurities

The music in that dude's video is doing A LOT of heavy lifting too. You put that mystical piano behind pretty much anything and it starts to sound mysterious.

I’m stunned that you didn’t mention how this cataclysmic heat storm that melted entire stone pyramids and buildings somehow didn’t melt the thin stone bridges connecting those very buildings together.

As a Californian, I can confirm that the state used to be an ancient Egyptian skyscraper megacity thousands of years ago with windows made of rocks

a lot of natural phenomenon follow a fractal pattern. Plants also grow in a fractal shape, this doesn't mean they were caused by electricity. Clouds also fallow a fractal pattern. Also not created by electricity.

Put this on and my daughter immediately just chilled and started watching. Glad I'm raising her right

"If it looks like a thing, it must be that thing" what a philosophy to live by. I wonder, if that dude stands on one side of a lake & can't see the other side, would he say "it's a secret ocean!"

When I was in fifth or six grade we had a science fair. I did the “dripping water from bath tub faucet onto bar of soap” “experiment.” I thought it was a silly one but given how this guy doesn’t understand erosion, I’m thinking he should do that experiment.

Absolutely enjoyable. Had a lovely time watching, and the important part at the end really made me satisfied. Thanks for protecting our scientific communities.

I wanted to come back to the start it’s nice you have done so well.

I also love the idea that it HAS to be the Egyptians despite having other cultures that indeed built layered pyramids in the Americas 🤡 at least blame it on the Mayans or something, man, to make it a bit less of a ridiculous claim

As an OSHA 10 certified person, the world's first documented OSHA violation nearly made me do a spit take 🤣

Hey maniminuteman I have to say I am proud of you for what it's worth I didn't know you at one time or only doing little tiktok videos the first time I saw you was on KZfaq shorts but I went to your channel and it was probably last year he's mad young and he's not looking like an archaeologist at all. But I listened and saw that you are actually not fake I think you said you had a PhD I might be making that up though and if so that's really impressive but anyway you go on site you make someone entertaining videos they're definitely of quality that you could call them academic almost... Anyway if you were only making little shorts at one time and you weren't all that happy to be able to do these long ass videos is really a great accomplishment because the information on them is dank as hell the production quality is good enough I mean they're not Syfy adventures I hope you make a reasonable living off of your endeavors because when I saw you go to gobekli tepe and the other tepe... You are like a giddy little kid actually excited and it shows with the amount of information that you really do put forth it is refreshing to say the least and you deserve to eek out an existence with this so that you can keep doing it for the good of all humanity

I thought this was about a *specific* melted building theory but this is even better

Wow, melting and erosion look crazy similar. It’s almost like there is some kind of force that pulls things down to the earth when they’re loosened or detached from the main structure.

so many of these ideas are so cool aesthetically like... these people need to stop doing conspiracy theories and start writing fantasy

17:38 and this section is the best description of conspiracy theories by example. The stuff they come up with is so fing wild

"Terrible conspiracy guy" in the search bar. 😂😂😂 Love you and what you do Milo!

I honestly think these people just haven't spent enough time out in the natural world. Around the time you find your 10th heart shaped rock you start to understand that these things just happen.There are literally thousands of mountains and uncountable hills, it's hardly surprising a couple of them look a little bit like a pyramid from the right angle.

When 'they' (in this case, conspiracy theorists) do things like comparing electrical damage to wood to the grand canyon, and deciding it must be the same cause, it's like saying: We have seen lines drawn by pencil, and when you look at a highway from above it's a line, therefore highways must have been formed by giant pencils.

Desided to go back to the start of these amazing videos and I am so happy to see how much traffic this video is still getting

“When the only evidence you have for something is saying it looks like something else, you’re probably wrong”. This is so true. Also in other cases, too. A girl keeps pointing to every redhead and asks if they’re sibling. No, they just look like it.

7:30 friendly reminder fractal wood burning is highly dangerous and very easily could kill you, as the voltage is not regulated by your standard built-in off switch by your at home electricity (when detecting interference like a human body) since it’s passing through a makeshift toaster thing to get that high of a current into the wood. it’s neat but it’s dangerous just thought i should mention

I've got to give this guy credit for the sheer confidence he seems to have when he says something "looks like Atlantis..." Like has he seen Atlantis up close? What else is he hiding from us?

I find it interesting that none of these "buildings" have an interior

Where he got started. So proud of how far you’ve come

i love when conspiracy theorists either point at or hide behind a vague hypothetical “they” because my immediate mental image is just a large group of non-binary people

Every time a conspiracy theorist says "science can't explain" I roll my eyes so hard it is painful. There are many things science can't explain, this is not one of them.

God look at how your channels grown bro crazy

I’ve always wanted to visit the Egyptian colonies of Arizona. Heard it’s a must for your bucket list, as well as those melting caves

I’m laughing so hard at the “who builds on a slope” thing lmfao. In all the buildings I’ve ever lived, not a single one was built on flat ground. When there’s an economic/social incentive to build in a hilly area, it’s not that hard to make it happen.

"Partly because I'm a terrible person, and mostly because I was depressed" has got to be the most spot-on description of my life ever. Thanks for the insight, small time person.

Your explanation was delightful. Keep debunking.

I wish I worked at KZfaq, shit like that guys video would be gone immediately, kudos to you for debunking him.

As someone who grew up in the south west, and who revisits the best sites every year, it is exceedingly clear to me that Alpha Talkz has never actually seen any of these things in person. You can see arches in the process of formation, and you can watch canyons forming pretty much in real time. Geological formations do not exist in a time vacuum.

On the Lichtenberg argument: It’s been observed that flow of any kind, such as people, marbles, or electrical current generally follows the same principles as flowing water. It would only make sense that the patterns formed by water searching for a place to pool and current searching for a place to ground would resemble each other.

LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS, Bro!!!!

Look at the baby, and how far he's come since this vid! Seeing your meteoric rise has been a delight!

Fun fact: The great pyramid of Giza *also* has fossils in it, because it was made of limestone blocks that had fossils in them. They're actually pretty easy to find if you visit it and wander around the base looking moderately closely at the building blocks.

I love how he says it “looks too symmetrical” I guess butterflies and moths are actually man made lmfao

Lmao watched the premiere live and rewatched this video multiple times, and I’m only just now realizing milo has red tag Levi’s…top tier choice good sir.😂😂😂

I am currently writing in a whole a$$ book. I am about write every note I can from your videos! This is my new favourite subject.

I've just realised something. If the "pyramid" in the grand canyon was made before the "global heating event", how would it be at the bottom of a canyon THAT WAS MADE IN THE SAME EVENT?!? But yeah, anyway love your videos mate, absolutely brilliant.

Favorite conspiracy theorists phrases: "It appears to be" "It looks like"/"it doesn't look like" "Could it be possible that..." "What could cause (thing that has concrete explanation that caused it" "Coincidence 🤔" (thing that is definitely explained) "this is unexplained"

In a world where, increasingly, E=MC Hammer, and opinion disguises itself as fact, your channel is greatly appreciated, so much so that I'm subscribing to your channel and joining your crusade against melted-building thinking.

I love the logic: classical architecture in a lot of places on earth has fractal elements in its design and partially resembles shapes found in nature because we as humans think it's pretty, therefore the natural features the buildings resemble must be built by humans too... Such sense. Much logic. Wow.

Re: The Grand Canyon, his logic totally breaks down. The canyon is supposed to be created by a mega lightning bolt, but a pyramid, that was built in the canyon, before it existed, was also melted by the same mega-bolt that created the canyon???

I’m- a little worried about that conspiracy theorist. It’s like he grew up in a bunker with his only exposure to the outside world being Ancient Aliens and the Bible. He doesn’t seem to understand ANY of the basic mechanics of the world around him to the point where I have trouble believing he even went to school. Can someone go check on him?

i put in headphones halfway through this video and let me tell you: learning that this guy's conspiracy theory video only has single-channel audio is maybe the least surprising thing I've discovered in a few years

Do a whole video on Tartarus please!

I used to LOVE conspiracy theories. So much fun to look at pseudo-evidence and ask “what if”. That’s been ruined once they actually started having real life consequences because people are dumb.

When I was a student at university I had a professor who said he couldn't be bothered to refute any of the stuff that people like von Daniken said, because he figured if they ignored them, they would go away. Well, here we are, 36 years later, and we are stuck with a population that is taught to reject scientific reasoning, because it's elitist. I love your channel. Thanks for fighting against the demon haunted world.

bro your monte python impression slaps

That guy would totally love a game called Kenshi. It's rough, but he could make hours of content with what he finds and the fans would love it.

I just noticed something: at 20:56, the so-called "rock" to your right *looks like* a fresh loaf of sourdough bread. Therefore, I conclude that it is, in fact, a fossilized bread loaf, since that's all you need to prove a theory apparently.

We would have remarkably less conspiracy theorists if people look at a river once or twice

The fly swatter bit was gold 😂

Nice headband you're sporting there, Miniminute-san.
