Funny story: My wife and I were looking to see "unusual" places on a trip through Virginia. I searched online for such odd places and found a website that hyped the best spy museum in the country called the CIA Spy Museum. They showed pictures of artifacts and listed hours and such. It has a Facebook page. So we drove there and when we got to the address we ended up at the CIA at gates that were entirely empty. Hmm. Next door there were other gates for a neighboring building and we asked the attendant there. She said, "Oh, you've come to the wrong entrance. Just go ....." and gave us the correct directions to the right entrance. We followed those and there was the ominous sign saying that it was off-limits if you go straight, but visitors should stay right. This is the CIA so we obviously stayed right. We got to what looked like a ticket kiosk and I rolled down my window and after a few long moments a voice said, "What are you doing here?" I said, "We're here to see the Spy Museum which we read about on this website." (Yeah, I know, at this point we sound batty, but in for a penny, in for a pound, right?) The silence returned and then, after about a minute he came back and said, "Please drive directly forward to the officer on the right by the pylons. Do not drive anywhere else." Uh, okay. So we drove forward and it was then we noticed a lot of firepower trained on us from various locations and as we moved towards the pylons new round barriers came out of the ground and trapped our car in the spot it was in. A heavily armed officer came up and asked us again why we were there. We explained everything. They had us open all our windows, give them ID, explain again and again and again. Then more officers showed up in more gear and walked all around the car including looking under it with mirrors (uh oh). Finally the baddest-ass woman officer I've ever seen came out and started the whole process again, but she seemed to understand. We explained exactly how we found the location and how it was presented as a tourist spot. She told us not to move and then went off. While we were in the car, alone, we talked about how incredible this all was and how screwed we were by this website entry. It was just another "unusual" place to visit in Virgina, literally, like #6 on a list of 30, or something similar. So then the woman officer returned and as she was explaining the situation she clearly referenced elements of the conversations my wife and I had while alone in the car. Obviously they had acoustic mics aimed at the car and heard everything. Cool. She then mentioned my being a vet and said they had quickly verified my story and let me know, to my TOTAL SHOCK, that they'd actually been trying to get that website to stop listing the museum as an attraction. It turns out it IS a thing and IS there, but it's JUST for select CIA employees. She also made two final points CRYSTAL clear. 1. Never, EVER return there again, that they certainly were recording this transgression and this was our single mistaken foray. 2. As we drove out follow the path she described to the absolute last detail without wavering in any way, shape or form. We did exactly that. As we left, we realized that, in the end, we actually had likely experienced a better story than if we had just gotten into the museum. So, do NOT go there. We contacted the website after our experience and pleaded with them to make changes and they finally amended the entry to point out that you're not allowed there and can get into serious trouble if you show up.

Your mention of historical sites reminded me, I was fortunate enough to tour through parts of Syria in 2009, including historic Damascus, Ma'aloula, and Palmyra. Palmyra in particular was simply gorgeous, and the Temple of Baal was one of the most impressive sights I've ever seen; honestly, I actually found it more awe-inspiring than the Athenian Acropolis. Sadly, nobody else will get to experience the same awe: ISIS blew up the Temple and many other ancient buildings in 2015 during their rampage through Palmyra (and as though that weren't bad enough, they also beheaded Palmyra's long-serving head of antiquities, Khaled Al-Asaad, for being an "apostate" and "idolater").

I snuck into the Elisabeth Sanatorium in Berlin a few years ago. That was a thrill because it was very much forbidden and I had to keep dodging the guard. It looked a lot like the sanitorium in your video. It was built over a hundred years ago in the middle of a forest for tuberculosis victims. Now it's surrounded by a roundabout like a moat.

There must be a good top 10 list in forbidden places like Metro 2, where the items are assumed or probably real but aren't definitely known to be real.

From my recollection, Chow wasn't "immediately murdered", he got shot at with arrows while trying to give them "paperclips" as a present... I have no idea what people with no access to PAPER are going to do with paperclips... anyways he swam like a mile back to the boat.... then decided to have another go. Might even have been 3 attempts, but he was warned away by the actual Sentinelese themselves and even wounded during that warning... and yet he freely chose to return again. This incident was quite odd and different from the other encounters, where they didn't give a warning, granted the 2 fishermen killed were thieves.... again, just my recollection, don't have time nor interest in looking this all up again, so definitely fact check it before trusting my memory.

As the Supreme Leader, gotta say it's pretty nice to be able to visit the most secretive room in the most secretive building in the most secretive capital in the most secretive country on the planet And then there is a place you can't visit if you're a specific gender: Mount Athos in Greece. A theocratic society that has been autonomous within Greece since 1927 because it's an important center of Eastern Orthodox monasticism and has a population of around two thousand monks. While it's only been autonomous since 1927, for over a thousand years women have been banned from there for the reason that they'll distract the monks from prayer and study (the only woman allowed is Virgin Mary). Domestic animals are banned as well, except cats for catching the mice. But for those who ARE allowed, daily visitors to Mount Athos are restricted to 100 lay Orthodox and 10 non-Orthodox pilgrims, and all are required to obtain a special entrance permit from the Mount Athos Pilgrims' Bureau, valid for only three days.

As I recall, they were pleased to see that the Sentinelese had survived, but so did a bunch of low-tech people on similar islands that are in contact with the outside world. It turns out that those communities have very clear oral traditions that say “when the birds all start flying inland and the sea draws back a way, make for the high ground” or words to that effect. Serious tsunamis evidently happen just often enough that a community can learn this stuff.

I've been to the Lascaux facility. At the time, they were still building the copy (which has a pretty interesting process... they set up equipment in the original to do exact laser scans of it, so they could make the duplicate) so I didn't get to go INTO the caves proper, but the rest of the tour was interesting anyway.

I got to within about 30’ of the Chapel of the Ark in Axsum, Ethiopia. I tried to walk all the way to the fence, but suddenly a guy came out of nowhere and grabbed my arm and shook his finger at me. The Ethiopian pilgrims could pray at the fence, but that was close enough for a foreigner. It’s a stunning place!

Though there is some debate as to whether Pope Saint John Paul II's 1994 Ordinatio Sacerdotalis is ex cathedra (a statement of papal infallibility), there is no debate among theologians that the contents of Ordinatio Sacerdotalis are true.

I was on mission work in Ethiopia and was able to see the building that houses the "ark of the covenant". The gentleman at the gate was very kind and allowed us to take pictures of the building itself but of course we were not permitted to enter or to speak with the priest that is appointed to guard over it. The building is just kind of in the middle of nowhere, as is most of Axum. If you go, be sure and see the Obelisk, which is way more impressive, and the ruins of Dungur. It is hard to get to, as you either have to fly in from Addis Ababa or take a bus (do not recommend this option). It is worth the trip, and the parade of the ark (obviously a replica, not the one housed inside) is a cool thing to see.

Love it. Great stuff!

Joe Scott, the sentinelese people actually did allow us to start getting friendly with them. We (westerners) started by bringing coconuts and tossing them from boats near the shore. There was even video of a woman picking up a coconut in the water and getting hit in the head with another. Fast forward a little and we kidnapped a pair of grandparents and a pair of kids. The grandparents died right away from illness and we returned the kids. Who knows if the children returned with some illness and spread it among them. There is no telling how bad that could've scarred the tribe. They are acting REASONABLE. What's that saying? Fool me once, shame on you...

You are very confused. The kidnapping happened by the British Empire in 1883. The coconut was a contact attempt by anthropologists tasked by Indian authorities in the 1990s. So your theory is based on a lot of false facts and you flipped events that are 100+ years apart. And also your western bashing is based on nonsense since India has been controlling and deciding the contact missions with this island since their independence.

Tom Bennett The expedition that kidnapped people (it was actually two older people and four children) was in 1880. I’m pretty sure that any video taken of people and coconuts would have been after that time. And in fact the Naval officer responsible for that kidnapping visited the island several more times in the next few years. And British ships continued to visit for many years. After India got its independence the Indian military continued the practice. The Sentinelese seemed to be fine with it as long as visitors didn’t stay too long. India stopped visiting in 1997, and since that time the Sentinelese have killed anybody who got too close, but I’m uncertain what caused the Indian government to stop visiting. Anyway, my point is that you make it sound as if the Sentinelese’s hostility is because of an incident that occurred in 1880, but actually they had some friendly contact for 117 years after that. It’s weird that they suddenly remembered something that happened to their great great great great grandparents and became xenophobic when they hadn’t been before.
