The easiest way to distinguish when you travel to the moon orbiting Mars in Tag Der Toten. The rocks in the water change from being snow covered to a plain texture about halfway through swimming. I don’t know if anyone else has found this out yet but it’s a little subtle detail that Treyarch put in that gives a small indication that “yes you’ve just travelled through a wormhole and you’re looking at Mars”

Without this man, there is no way we would find the easter eggs. 💀

this brought a surprising amount of joy and put a large smile on my face. Took me back to the days of watching hours of lore about zombies back in Waw times lmao

The Deimos image matching perfectly is crazy. They literally probably used that png of it in the game files

after watching this whole thing, you've nailed it. Shangri-La is on MARS but not all the time

If you happen to read my comment, thank you for everything BOA. This video was perfect, from the intro till the last second, and I am especially happy now that my theory was somewhat correct and indeed, Shang was on Mars. But I am here mostly to say thank you for still being here. You are the first channel I have subscribed to back in 2014 when I discovered ytb and watching you today reminds me of my teenage years and the hype of playing CoD, Zombies in particular, and how happy and free I was. You are truly one of the main factors that motivate me to keep going nowadays. Moreover, seeing people still having interest in the greatest game of all time, BO3, brings an inner joy to my childish soul. Thank you so much BOA and please keep doing what you are doing, I can't imagine ytb and BO3 without you!

I wonder if we’ll find any Easter eggs in Cold War and Vanguard zombies later on in the future. It’s great to see Easter eggs from the old school zombies tbh

If you take the tranzit crew's names and line them up it spells "MARS" (M) carlton (A) bigail (R) ussman (S) amuel Tag der toten in Mars confirmed

Pack a Punch on COTD travels underwater in order to appear at different locations. Maybe we use something similar to get to Mar’s moon?

Before I would scoff at the thought, say there's no way ha ha, but dammit you've convinced me that Shang is on Mars..... sometimes. Also I find the wormhole Tag theory more believable but what you said about Pablo potentially sailing around Mars' moon bc it is so small makes a lotta sense too.

Not gonna lie I’m high on mushrooms, but I could if swore I saw a face on that asteroid in the music vid. 👀 look little closer though in the middle has what looks like long spike hair covering the eye. And I’m pretty sure that I saw what looked a smile. It’s just me losing my mental, but you find some wierd things in cod zombies in general.

Something else you forgot to mention is that on moon's loading screen, one of the Shangri la temples is seen on the panel with Samantha's shadow over the moon just floating in the distance.

when going in the little pond of water, if you pay attention to the walls the texture seems to change from looking like ice to rock. In my mind that is when it switches from siberia to phobos. i guess it could also just be a flooded cave, which would make more sense, but this is cod zombies, nothing makes sense.

An old theory about Shang is that tornado from the comic page loading screen was like a movie wormhole. It destroyed it after richtophen visited it and it transferred Shang to Mars. That might be my theory if there ain't one like it.

This is what zombies fans love

Somebody should tweet this to jimmy to see if he says anything. Im intrigued lol

Nice video, love it. I always believed that in 19:37 in the sunset side direction, those barrels could be removed by doing a small ee and we can maybe finally use a boat or a submarine to arrive in the destination.

Is it possible that Tag Der Toten takes place during Shangri-la’s eclipse and that’s why it is directly in front of mars. And since shangri-la’s eclipse takes us back in time tag der toten has water on it.

@blackopsamazing The only way to travel through time is to manipulate gravity. Manipulating gravity manipulates space. So the equation is gravity+space=time

Well… if you travel for a short time to Mars with the entire environment full of plants and trees you can still breathe because the plants and trees are still creating oxygen.

It looks like deimos completely fits if you flip it.

You do realize plants use Carbon Dioxide, (Which comes from humans & animals when we exhale.) plants breath in Carbon Dioxide and breath out Oxygen so it wouldn't be a long shot to say the plants and the foliage all over Shangri-La allow the characters to breath on Mars for a limited amount of time.

Bruh tryarch needs to confirm this

Does brock and the others get out of Shang or are they sent into the dark either also maybe when rictofen and the others from ultimus teleported some how between that and tag the location was teleported to the moon of Mars or perhaps tag is one of those fractured locations

I think it’s interesting how when you swim through the tunnel, the texture goes from icy to solid rock instantly. Makes me think that you may be right about the swimming area being a wormhole. Great video!

They can also be transported to other universes since Shangri-La was seen in revelations in the primus universe

What if a 4th person got sent to shangri la and they made a full on remake with new areas to explore, new elemental wonder weapons, and a kick ass ee kinda resembling the MOTD ee where there is no escape and cutscene ends with them in a continuous loop.

the old boa theme brings memories

It’s back, your intro is finally back 🎉🎉❤

I have always thought that it took place on Mars but man does it make so much sense after you explain it like that...nice

Wow, I’m speechless with the evidence! We all knew it but it was never 100% sure. That changes now

There's always a reason for everything in treyarch zombies.

I’m glad u and glitchingqueen still make this type of content I mean I outgrew zombies bc of the other cods bo3 was the best so far sad we won’t get the other maps smh best bo3 mechanics but wtv 😢 glad I’m able to hear these videos while I study or etc ❤

I got a few questions I really wanted to ask: 1. Was there any data mines or leaked projects for a possible richtophen side of buried being canon at one point with its own set of unique and different maps? 2. How different could the zombies story have gone if richtophens end game was canon? 3. Is there any good guesses on why did the ending of our mainline zombies crew get changed from the leaked idea of a great war final map? 4. Since Activision is trying to merge the new stories of modern warfare and black ops together, would it be possible we could see a more modern zombies that could take place in Berlin or any of that sort with the campaign characters like ghost, price, mason and woods as the new main crew? 5/6. When richtophens turned into a zombie by maxis, why didn't maxis just take control of him and his body? I think in the comics zombie richtophen played quite a helpful role, and also how come he didn't try to eat anyone in sight including the human version of himself?

I wish they would have done something more with the vrill and time travel or something. Maybe back then mats was hit by element 115 meteors and the vrill that lived there and were overrun by zombies and that’s what caused the downfall of mars society back then but a small village (shangri la) was able to teleport to the nearest habitable planet and that ended up being earth only for it to also be hit by meteors far into the future. Or something like the shangri la was the first humans on earth but they accidentally brought the zombies with them.

Right at the end of 2010 when I started playing zombies I was listening to these theories wile was a kid and was believing in them and loving it to the bits. the years passed, I grew up and stopped believing because of how much reusage there is on gamefiles, cause i started to look at them (literally all of them hahaha) but after BO3, studying it after the new shang i thought that could be it, got interested in the theory again but kept to myself, now with someone like you saying pretty much the same thing linking the information way more than i had done, It really looks more true. thanks alot man.

Thanks for properly pronouncing Der Eisendrache

Buried is an American Old West mining town from the late 1800's- early 1900's (post civil war - pre WW1). NOT FROM THE 1200's LMFAO 😂

Tranzit Mars sign 🎉

Babe wake up boa posted

If they made this map today the moon would be added to the skybox as mid season dlc

thanks for making this video going in depth on the mars theory, i always wondered about it and always hear it mentioned, but never really saw anyone go in detail about it

I remember a month ago I was watching gameplay of the shangri-la Easter egg both bo1 and bo3 back in bo1 i noticed the eclipse wasn’t the same as in der riese and looked a weird shaped but just thought it was a little editing glitch and just ignored it but then seeing it on bo3 I noticed that the moon still looked odd shaped and this was when “the secret” Easter egg was solved in tag der toten so that’s when I started thinking maybe Shang is on mars but also knowing it takes place in the Himalayas would just make me think other wise but would still have the thought “but there must be a reason why they showed mars with the shangri-la loading screen playing. But man this video just broke the ice and it was very easy to understand. I forgot that buried and Arthur were teleported. You nailed it on the head and finally gave us closure for this unsolved confusing Easter egg secret. Now I understand a lot more why it was called “secret”

tag is bing chilling on the moon bruh

Great video! I always thought the chances were slim, but there is some strong evidence here

This Explains a lot now I've always thought Shangri-la had something to do with mars but this was the first I've heard about It's moons as much as I love to learn about Space and Time Travel It also scares me right down to my bones

Boa, I have a question, wat happened to Pablo? Cuz, after you complete the easter egg in Tag Der Toten, the multiverse is destroyed and everything is banished to the dark aether. Also if I can remember, Pablo does something where he teleports himself to the Great War and says he’s going to save the universe or something. So does he get banished to the dark aether unknowingly or is he doing something that could be connected to the storyline in Cold War in the future? Wat do u think?

I miss the intro

LETS GO THE INTROS BACK

broo that intro gave me heavy nostalgia, loved the vid ofc

It’s kinda weird how sangs entire EE is about breaking the cycle .. and yet togs is the same exact thing, it’s the end finally breaking the cycle.If togs and Shangs(eclipse) events take place at the same time wouldn’t that mean that sang is also just the end or at least foreshadows it?

Great theory I love them. Plz make more that we forgot or we haven’t found yet this what kept me into zombies always lol

Theres probably layers to this that make other stuff makes sense. IF you think of the planets and what they mean in the sephiroth , not just as a physical planet but the esoteric occult implications

Spin foil guy here to hit you with the 🤯 Mars is actually Earth in the future and we’re stuck in the biggest time loop of all; CoD Zombies.

Wormholes are real theyre not theoretical... they just cant be used for transport yet because they break as soon as they form... if we could learn how to keep them stable we could use them to travel vast distances

The ridge line in shang legit is ripped outta a picture of one of the largest mountains ranges in our known universe

Awesome video bro.

15:41 idk if it’s just me or cause of the video but if you really focus on the walls you can see them change as you continue so it’s most likely is some sort of a wormhole. It makes more sense as you don’t see mars when on the actual map considering how close it is Could be due to another experiment from group 935, a Tele-Porter to our moon from earth could’ve been easier due to distance so they may of wanted to build another facility on one of mars’ moon but the only way to get there is to create a wormhole between Siberia where Tag der Toten is to the moon. But my guess is wormholes are tough to make so maybe it failed and they gave up or were all dead before they got it 🤷‍♂️

had to stop at 13 secs lol boy oh boy do I Miss Shangri-La and Moon......actually... I MISS THEM ALL, REALLY GOOD DAYS

Great video!!! This deserves more views.

Pablo marinez, sally, Brock & Gary is the next zombies crew. Getting released from their cycles once the dark aether happens

I am convinced you are correct BOA. i also believe that the call of the dead ee has a good role to play in it. hear me out what if because of the ultimis crew teleporting they ended trapping themselves and the call of the dead crew. noew they are on mars moon phobos. because it was severly cold and fog rolled in like what pablo stated in his recording.. Also Tag has a wormhole ya but my question is who would be using it. keepers didn't need it and there is never a mention about using a wormhole in the storyline i dont think? Idk my thoughts BOA keep up the videos man.

I'm still confused about something in blood of the dead the characters break the cycle then why do they respawn if the cycle is broken

I’ve been playing this game since 2011 and I’m still learning things about it that I never knew!

Lost Horizon by James Hilton is worth reading for the true lore of Shangri La.

some reddit user recommended this video to me saying that it was good, you have them to thank for my view as ive grown genuinely distrustful of your content throughout the BOCW era

That intro is ⛽️⛽️⛽️⛽️

Possibly the reason why he was also in a loop seeming to be on Phobos it’s when the eclipse happens on mars it happens on Phobos but you cant see it because you are on the moon at the time

great video always been a believer of the mars theory but tag der toten confirmed it in my eyes

YES, THE INTRO, MISSED IT

Considering time and space disposition, it's very possible that in the events of bo4 and all of the "against the timeline" actions, that because of the 115 on the ship in Call of the Dead, that this part of Siberia, like Shang, was displaced on phobos and it could be possible that reason why there is a lake that extends out towards Mars that we could be on phobos as an eclipse is happening. We do technically go to the flip side of the map when we swim through the tunnel

Nightmares=demos,its treyarch.

Just going in circles

Objection! The atmosphere on Mars is too thin to sustain life, with a maximum temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a minimum of -153 degrees celsius according to NASA. This shows that the atmosphere is far too thin to sustain life.

Shang is on Mars Imo

How is Shangri La on mars

I just don't get it because I'm pretty sure you can't breathe on mars.

There is clearly an Eclipse or dimensional travel in Tag Der Toten when you complete the Easter Egg

It's sad Shang is probably one of the least played zombies map throughout the series underrated map imo.

I always have slightly believe it was on Mars, it just looks like it would be on Mars

Bro forgot to include the alien skulls in the map

I see a red door and I want it painted black

Wait your name is Eli? Cool

What if there’s 2 tag der totens. There one that is at Siberia and one on mars’ moon. After the outbreak at call of the dead maybe some sort of teleportation or cloning thing activated meaning that there’s 2 call of the dead’s and anytime anyone enters the area they get teleported to the mars moon call of the dead. People can still teleport out of there however just like how richtofen and crew can teleport out of shangri la Also I just thought maybe because the vrill device is in call of the dead and the focusing stone is in shangri la, maybe there linked some way which is why they seem to be so similar in this aspect where they both have loops(call of the dead a space loop and shangri la a time loop)

Keep going bro, only come to u and few others for content

the intro is back lets goooo bois

I think shangri la is “the gateway” to mars. The only way you can pass through this “gateway” is when there is an eclipse, hence why we are looking at an eclipse from mars.

Tag der untoten could be inside of the moon

i think it's just an easter egg off the theory like an inside joke yk

That nsbm picture lol

oh my god he brought back the intro

Had to follow after this great work !

Unpopular opinion: BO3 isn't actually the OG zombies we all are used to. Proof is in the pudding. Theres so much changed with the maps they no longer follow the original storyline and it just makes no sense to me. The zombies trilogy literally ended on BO2s origin's (last cut scene) the fans loved zombies that much they needed to continue to make them, if you haven't noticed from the rename Der Riese changed to The Giant and now has a nod to origins although original it had nothing to do with that. The same is happening here. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the main storyline creator of zonbies leave not long after BO2 finished is cycle? That also would mean another team have picked up where he left off and have changed multiple things to try make sense of whats going off but clearly don't understand themselves. Plus the FF for shang has nothing to do with mars nor its moons but nonetheless this is still and interesting theory but I can't see it being true

BOA intro is so fucking awesome

KZfaq will not let me like this video for some reason.

Every time you say broken arrow it sounds like Brock and gary

10:00 great album

Its really not on MARS the Easter egg on tag der toten is simply just an easter egg cause blundell put it in there cause so many people speculated shang to be on MARS also lore wise it makes no sense why shang would be on mars either because jimmy zalinsky never intended shang to be mars i mean there was a village full of people and Richthofen was there too

Hey BOA I have a question if you do another Q&A and my question is why was Resnov seen in Black Ops 2 if he died in Black Ops 1.

OLD INTROOO!!!!!! WHOOOO
