TikTok's Craziest Conspiracy Theory
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 чер 2024
- In this video we explore one of the craziest conspiracy theories I have ever found on TikTok - The Tartarian Mud Flood Theory. This theory believes that a few hundred years ago an advanced civilisation was destroyed by a giant mud flood and all buildings we know today were not built but dug up from this mud. Insane. Insane people think this. Let's take a look.

It’s amazing that the government dug up the pyramids, took that photo, then covered them back up
Nature is healing 😊😅
So much cat litter. No wonder there's all kinds of litter now and sand bags during bad weather 😮😮😮 *GASP*
I refuse to believe this isn't some elaborate troll. It's way too perfect.
its obviously a troll. now some of his followers might be dumb enough to think it’s legit but the actual guy is definitely doing satire
@@Olm- love it it’s hilarious
Tartaria has been around long before TikTok. It has been around for a few decades now, mostly amongst Russian conspiracy theories in my experience. This isn’t a new thing. It’s very much a thing people believe and have believed.
@@Olm-It’s not. There’s a Wikipedia page on Tartaria. It’s a very old conspiracy theory that many insane people have followed for awhile now.
@@ryannash1177are you saying that to defend it, or say it’s not a troll? I think that the person on TikTok is a troll
I literally hate TikTok so much that I have avoided it for 2 years living in a household where my dad even watches it
Ikr
I have tiktok but I don't use it, sometimes I use it to upload and then watch it for 30 mins, but really I just watch YT shorts, then my friends go like "wHy DoNt YoU uSe TiKtOk?" because I don't wanna? Also you don't even watch TikTok you just scroll through every video!
@@pausantimor5941 all of my friends also ask why I don’t watch TikTok but then I talk about stuff like this video and they usually understand
@@Pip-boy_playslook im not that guy that "why tiktok is better that the rest all short form content" but i just hate that when people believing video something like this and the whole comment like "yeah that's why shorts its better" in reality 99% content on shorts just usually something like goofy shit just for children
@@png_saltn shorts at least most of the content on your 'fyp' is actually for you (also i don't think they said shorts was better, they said they used shorts over tiktok) nvm apparently we are both stupid, shorts wasn't mentioned
Even in small villages in hilly parts of the uk it’s not unusual for an older house to be a couple of meters lower than the road next to it, just because of how they went about building the roads smooth in the 1950s. In cities like London and Manchester it’s very common.
listen these idiots think that a mudflood make a building red they dont understand shit xD
correct me if im wrong, but isnt most mud in the uk not red? like isnt it like really dark due to all the coal n such?
When I was in Rome it was really clear too. They have all these incredibly old buildings and they are all way lower because obviously over hundreds of years the ground level rises. How some people Don't understand that is a riddle to me
In my city, some buildings have lowered windows, these were to provide sunlight, as not every building in various cities across what is now modern-day Poland, didn't always have lights everywhere.
And they put windows and doors underground as well? Don't be so damned naive!
@@YTChiefCritic there can often be different reasons why there’s windows and doors below street level. Quite honestly the fashion in the 1800s was to have your access to the cellar on the outside. I’ve fitted staircases to a couple of such buildings that previously had no internal access to the cellar. In larger buildings oftentimes they’re below street level on one side and at it on the other, especially in hilly areas, like the entire northern half of the uk. Also. NO ELECTRIC LIGHTS
He needs to write a movie... What a talent for story telling.
Fr, like these are such cool concepts, a giant flood of mud that covered a very advanced civilization that we had to dig all the mud out, Giants and Humans not getting together, so there's a war and it kills all the Giants, etc. Super interesting.
Its not him, its the history itself.
The most ridiculous part of these conspiracy theories is that the entire academic community would agree on anything.
"when you someone believes in a conspiracy theory, tell him a crazier one"
"there are a lot of secrets to ou history"
"pfft, you believe in the past?"
I love how there’s so much speculation of things that the “flood” effected, but I’ve never seen a SINGLE explanation or speculation of what actually caused the flood
If I had to guess using science (very loosely) I’d say a bunch of volcanoes went off simultaneously causing ash based flooding (forgot the exact term) rather than mud floods
This is obviously completely not what actually happened because we have proof of society in 1812, every single volcano going off at once is ridiculous, there are plenty of explanations of why older buildings are low, the buildings would’ve been destroyed, if the government was hiding something I would hope that they would do a better job, and (most importantly) secret societies/governments don’t make giant scavenger hunts full of hints when they’re trying to keep their shit under wraps
But yeah, multi-ash floods would be my best guess of what “caused” the mud floods
An earthquake supposedly a big one that softened the earth turning it to mud
Maybe the real mud flood was the friends we made along the way.
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
We all have a bit of mud flood in all of us. We're all mud floods.
There’s a mud flood coming out of my ass
my friends are the muddiest floods
If you think outside the box, you first have to understand whats going on inside the box
I was showing a house to a client today, and the man started talking about Tartaria and how our current economic system is horrible, and under Tartaria, no one would be trying to sell houses for profit.
He's right. Look up My Lunchbreak. Mind blowing.
Tartaria sounds like Communism with extra steps: and im sure a guy like that would implode at the comparison
Why would anyone sell their house if there was no profit no be made? Why leave the house you’re already in? We already see with the rising interest rates that ppl are not willing to sell without coming out ahead on their monthly payment.
He clearly is awake and aware

They arent
The people of the opposite are good at bringing them down and blaming it on airliners l
Honestly, I'm gonna have to steal that "the pyramyds are actually enormous buried obelisks" thing that's such a cool idea.

@@themotorcyclemasswhole with saints and handrails!
This guy would love Oldtown Sacramento. They had the option to lift their buildings up when the roads were raised up to avoid flooding. Some buildings chose to stay down and now their first floor is just below street level.
But if you buy the Mud Flood Theory it was totally that and not the well documented history explaining it.
You can be right. But when we are talking about Paris and Moscow, they have no public documents about these underground floors. When you dig something, you go to local bureau and ask for building plan. When you tell them: "There are unchecked Huuuge undrground floors with windows under your basement.", they freak out and call fsb (not police, but secret service pigs). Plus, many "mudflooded" buildings I saw in Russia and Europe are standing on the hills and there are no roads near. I know for sure that Mudflood theory is our russian psyop, but any psyop has at least 5% of truth. My archeology teacher who worked in biggest museum of Kaliningrad (former Koenigsberg) was sure that there was big flood in 15th century, that didn't get into world history books. All archeological activity in former Third Reich territories are under FSB and millitary control, so he kept silence. Funny thing is, I have big hopes for USA diggers)) We have no chance to find something in Russia, all "Mudflood" buildings are under strict FSB control. Koenigsberg is one big underground Disneyland, Moscow is like small underground country. Too bad modern people don't believe it. When my father was young he visited many underground nazzi complexes. Orphan kids of USSR used Hitler's ruins as their playground in 1950s.
@@agestoneplease tell more !!
What about Chicago? They had to lift an entire block sewers under the road 😂
Really? Smh
@@agestonebro the Nazis were literally insane why are you believing them
The mud floods are definitely real. I experience them daily after my 2nd morning coffee
😂
I guess he's never heard about the dust bowl, where entire houses and areas were buried under the sand. There is also a thing called soil liquefaction, It occurs when an earthquake liquifies the soil and a building actually sinks down into the ground, San Francisco has many examples.
Tartaria is hilarious garbage for people who are stupid.
Stop with the logic
Yea, I think we can all recognize those things. Sinkholes happen to, mud slides as well it’s not like the theory suggests a purely fictional disaster. But the suggestion that ALL of human history prior to 1850 isn’t real and we really began then is hilarious
@@desmondsala6944 Why don't I know who my family was prior to 1860? Do you know what your family was doing in the year 1548 for example? How about 1692? How about 1712? Why not?
@@yourii2c I mean I personally know my family history till around the 15th century. My father’s family is an old land owning aristocracy from Navarre, so we can track our line for a while. My mom’s side is Irish, and we have some of the documents such as birth and marriage certificates from British and American sources. I think the major reason is because most of us are descended from impoverished, and they never were historically educated, even on their own family history, so names were forgotten, histories lost. US and Britain did an ok job with censuses and documents but still, we’re lacking a lot.
7:10 if someone actually thought that image was a picture taken in reality, im genuinely concerned. The amount of cognitive dissonance that would require is absurd. Like the detachment from reality is scary. It’s concerning that so many people are actually that detached. I’m starting to see a lot of that lately. Not even just with this subject.
Every time he says oh my days it physically hurts me
It’s incredibly hard to believe that a advanced civilisation was wiped out by mud like dam clearly not that good lmao 💦
It's also hard to believe a child dies from hunger every 10 seconds in 2023 but here we are......
Bro wym 😂 a mud flood would destroy anything and even it history it shows people on purpose destroyed the buildings
So advanced that they couldn’t fucking dig out some dirt.
That’s because it wasn’t a natural disaster. Tartarians had free energy, the elites wanted power and control and money and had just invested a shit ton of money into a sustainable energy source (what we have). So they wiped the Tartarians from history. Removed them from maps and books. Which is not so far fetched to believe, as we have seen many times throughout history civilizations going extinct because of our government. Native Americans, the holocaust, Gaza currently, probably more we don’t know about. But wiping them out wasn’t enough. They needed to rewrite history. So they hid a lot of things. Changed our maps to take tartaria off it. They introduced The World Faires (google it) to re-educate people on new discoveries and inventions and to tell a history of the world. They hosted the world Faires in Tartarian Free Energy buildings and then TORE THEM DOWN after the faire. They say they were built as temporary structures for the faire, but when you compare the scale and magnificence of the buildings and how long they said it took to build, it’s OBVIOUS that the buildings had to have already been there. And then they tore them down. And then they started the orphan trains (google it) where they literally kidnapped 250,000 children from the east and put them on a train, gave them new names, and advertised them out west as poor orphans who need loving homes. This would pretty much traumatize that entire generation of kids and they wouldn’t have any reason to remember a past that was different. Confuse them with a new identity and then send them to the Faire to get educated. And then the wars. And elites gaining more and more control, and all the sudden nobody knows poopy about tartaria anymore and you succeeded in wiping an entire civilization out of history.
@@user-ho2cj8uw5c so you’re saying the earth just errupted with mud everywhere?
Like, the mud made it all the way across the Himalayas?
Was the Great Wall of China built after that or did they dig it out?
"What would the world be like if giants were still around?"
*That one 5'4 guy giving up trying to get somethine from a top shelf even before giants were there*
In my city, there's a bunch of buildings with a similar thing, the main thing is, these buildings are old, like, really really old, 1890s old sometimes. And because, Poland, wasn't it's own country, and my city used to be in the 'Kingdom of Poland' under the Russian Empire, not many houses had electricity everywhere, so these windows were used to provide natural sunlight into the basements, etc. It's not something crazy, not to me atleast.
What city is this, but what if i tell you thats not just an isolated event.
@@aydrianindigo7015 What??
imagine making art of the pyramids being huge pillars just for the aesthetics and then some fuckers that need a hobby suddenly start using it as proof for a conspiracy theory
For such a big conspiracy they sure do get a lot of their videos staying up on youtube. It seems like if they went through all the effort to suppress this idea then wouldn't they shut down their videos?
Its like with ufos/uaps: the pilot who spoke at Congress said hed never had trouble from anyone for reporting one and talking about it so much, yet weve got a series of media presenter grifters saying they cant more or theyll be assassinated
The funny thing about a literal race of Dwarves, is that the actual caveman Neanderthals sort of fit into that description: short, stocky, and craftsman.
Every conspiracy theorist's voice makes me want to squash them underfoot with an intensity that I had never felt towards a bug. I swear we have a built in instinct to notice when another person has truly lost their mind and needs to go.
And this is coming from someone considered 'mentally ill,' so you know this dude is gone if even I can't stand the crazy.
@@demo2823 Sorry if I am bothering you to ask, what's your 'mental illness'? The apostrophies makes me think you might be neurodivergent or on the autism spectrum but I don't think I would call that an illness
I feel like wanting to basically kill people is worse than being a conspiracy theorist
They are calling them factualists now as so many conspiracy theories have been proved correct😂
@@fitzerelli1you’re just joking right?
I kinda knew that the rise of publicly accessible AI art generators is going to make the internet even scarier place... damn, but I didn't realise the whole scope of things until Nickyboy asked when was the photo of pyramids being large underground obelisks taken.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who has hypothetical conversations with myself all the time like Jackson seems to lol
I dont think its because the street level rose, I just think there used to be window wells (look up window well with railing!). Then when cars came around in the 50's and 60's, they needed more roadspace, and with electric lighting also around they just removed the wells and windows. Thats also why the window still exsits on the other side of the corner.
Yes. An easy way to let in lots of light to make the basements useable as a regular floor and feel less claustrophobic. Taller buildings usually need to have a solid base set into he ground for stability anyways so we might as well use it. Modern safety standards also demands multiple safety exits depending on what the intended room use is, and windows of a certain size is a good way of both making the rooms better to use, and safe to escape from.
And of you don't want or need the windows anymore then boarding them up happens on above ground windows too... I refuse to believe the man in the videos is serious, it has to be a joke!
Nah dude, that has to be some commited sarcasm. The dude can't be serious

I don't want to have to debunk to people once again why certain things aren't true and trying to show and explain them why, and end up being called arrogant for that. I've been studying history at a highly prestigious university for more than 6 years. It's getting really exhausting. 🙈
Tartaria has been around long before TikTok. It has been around for a few decades now, mostly amongst Russian conspiracy theories in my experience. This isn’t a new thing. People have been believing this shit long before TikTok, they didn’t need TikTok which is disturbing to think about.
remember history is told by the winner which doesn't make it fact or truthful. but yes i agree most don't understand our history, reason people believe the best tale that sounds factual. great story tellers history is told by. 100 years our science will be proven wrong as the last hundred years has. etc. etc.

And standard water floods would be more likely.
I wonder if the dude is making satire. Anyway I loved when he said "The last neanderthal" because neanderthals were literally short. I love these cringe tiktok videos showing photoshopped versions of old photos or in that case an AI generated image. It reminds me of a creepy photoshopped image of a corpse hanging from a ceiling that was relatively famous which was debunked. I guess AI generated images are harder to inspect to see if they are fake since there is no difference in grain in different parts of the image. That's when written records and a bit of good old common sense comes into account.
Generally speaking unless youre talking about art history, pictures arent relevant so its insane people see these things and thinks a 2023 tablet drawing is physical proof about the pyramids

Look at the old photos there's actual physical evidence of Mudfloods. I get annoyed with people who try to 'debunk' everything because there's never any good arguments. It's just always "that's crazy! Who would belive that?!? Lol." So annoying you all do know who wrote the history books right ?? Instead of trying to debunk every theory maybe you should actually look at the evidence but actually in the form of archival documents maps & photos. The information is all there if you have eyes to see & ears to hear. But hey that's just my opinion. Suit yourself.
conspiracy theorists are always like "oh it looks like this so it must be that!" bro shut up, there is no picture proving it, first off if there was a massive flood... why would there be steps leading up to the front door? like that makes no sense as the steps are the same age as the buildings normally
the real reason that there is steps to buildings... is because of manure... yknow when people used to ride horses, also due to rubbish among other things london for example and other big cities the earth yknow builds up quickly, so in london the earth is about 30cm higher then the countryside due to less trash
also the below level windows? yea those are just for semi basements, they have windows for light, opposed to cellars with no windows, it reflects the needs of the room.. also the first buildings with these basements were actually manors of the countryside and we have alot of documentation of them being built, and in fact some are still built to this day
