By spring of 1945, Hitler was surrounded on every front, but one project inside a secret mine kept running until the end. It was called Die Glocke, The Bell, built on mercury, fire, and a design borrowed from a thousand-year-old Indian text. The scientists who built it vanished, along with the man who ran the entire project. Decades later, the same technology resurfaced in a US Navy patent, and nobody could explain how it got there. This is the story of a warning written a thousand years before World War II, the men who ignored it, and the strange thread connecting an ancient king to modern spaceflight. Some of it is real, and none of it is finished. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  By spring of 1945, Hitler was surrounded. Russia closed in from the east, the British and Americans from the west. The 1,000-year Reich had 90 days left. But Hitler wasn't finished. In a secret lab in Poland, the Nazis scrambled to finish Die Glocke, the Bell, a superweapon built with technology so dangerous it was intentionally buried for 1,000 years. The Nazis unleashed a power they could not control. They lost the war, and the Bell disappeared. When the fighting stopped, America and Russia raced to grab Hitler's scientists before they vanished. Both sides said they came up empty. Both sides said the men who built the Bell were dead and the technology was gone.

• 1:15AJ Gentile?

  One side lied. Because 70 years later, that same ancient technology showed up in a patent filed by, wait for it, the US Navy.

• 1:33AJ Gentile?

  I keep weird hours. I'm up late, deep in research, rabbit holes. And by the time I actually get into bed, my brain is still going 100 miles an hour. So when I finally do lie down, the bed needs to do its job. That's why I upgraded my bed with Bowlin Branch. For a long time, I thought maybe I needed a better mattress, or a sleep tracker, or some supplement stack. Suddenly, fixing your sleep becomes this whole complicated project. Now, most people aren't sleeping badly because of their mattress. They're sleeping on old bedding. And that's what happened to me. The sheets weren't as soft anymore. The bed slept warmer than I wanted, and the bed slept warmer than I wanted. That just didn't feel as inviting at the end of the day. The fastest, simplest upgrade you can make is replacing what you're sleeping on every single night.

• 2:18AJ Gentile?

  Boll & Branch makes the entire bed. Signature satin sheets, breathable pillows, waffle blankets, comforters, all designed to work together for incredible softness, comfort, and temperature regulation. No new routines, no complicated setup. You lie down and the bed just feels better, immediately. Most people start with the signature sheet set, and then add the comforter or waffle blanket. That's exactly what I did. The moment you lie down, you feel how soft and breathable everything is. Sleep cooler this summer with Boll & Branch during their annual summer event.

  In the year 1010 in central India, King Bhoja put down his stylus. He wrote dozens of books on medicine, yoga, poetry, grammar, everything. Now he was writing about architecture, design, and machines. But he started to hesitate, something the king never did. Not because he didn't know what to write, because he realized this information was dangerous. He wrote about technology years ahead of its time. Mechanical fountains that shot across courtyards, water clocks that kept perfect time, automated guards that swung swords at anyone who tried to pass. Every invention was described in precise detail, right down to usable engineering schematics. But he wasn't so generous in his newest and most interesting entry, flying machines.

• 4:06AJ Gentile?

  He wrote about "a great bird built of light wood with a human controlling wings from the inside." At the machine's center, a sealed vessel of mercury heated by fire propelled the machine through the sky. How exactly the heat of mercury defied gravity, Boeja refused to say. There was a heavier craft shaped like a temple. Inside were four massive cylinders of mercury set over ovens. And just like the wooden bird, the temple would fly. Boeja wrote down the materials and the proportions: the mercury, the fire, how to pilot the craft, everything. Everything except how to build it. His other inventions came with step-by-step instructions, not these.

• 4:44Speaker 02

  The construction of the machines has not been explained for the sake of secrecy and not due to lack of knowledge. In that respect, that should be known as the reason. They are not fruitful when disclosed.

• 4:58AJ Gentile?

  Translation: "I can build these." That doesn't mean I should. In ancient India, mercury was almost sacred. Mystics believed it could purify metals, cure diseases, even extend life. It was the most powerful substance they knew, but they didn't realize how dangerous it was. Hitler was obsessed with ancient myths and artifacts. He sent archaeologists looking for the Holy Grail, the Spear of Destiny, even Thor's Hammer.

• 5:25Speaker 03

  Milne.

• 5:26AJ Gentile?

  What?

• 5:27Speaker 03

  Milne. Thor's Hammer was called Milne.

• 5:29AJ Gentile?

  How is that relevant?

• 5:30Speaker 03

  Eh, I'm just trying to impress the Marvel movie fans.

• 5:34AJ Gentile?

  Wait, there are still Marvel movie fans?

• 5:35Speaker 03

  Yeah, you make a point.

• 5:38AJ Gentile?

  Hitler brought in Sanskrit and Vedic experts to translate the ancient Indian texts that described exotic technology, specifically Vamanas, which could generate free energy and defy gravity, and some are shaped like a bell. Germany already had the most advanced aircraft in the world. They deployed the first jet fighters. They were dramatically faster and better armed than Allied piston and prop planes. They had the best tanks, the best subs.

• 6:02Speaker 03

  Sandwiches?

• 6:03AJ Gentile?

  Submarines.

• 6:04Speaker 03

  Ah, that makes most sense.

• 6:05AJ Gentile?

  The problem was fuel. A working Vamana solves this: unlimited energy, anti-gravity. A few well-armed Vamanas could end the war in weeks, maybe days. But mercury had even more powerful properties. It's the reason the bell had a codename: Kronos, "time." Hitler didn't just want to win the war, he wanted to win it before it started.

• 6:35AJ Gentile?

  Here's my glasses situation. They're fine. One of the lenses has a scratch and the frames are a little bent. I need to book an appointment, but can't carve out two hours of my day. I barely have 20 minutes, so I just keep wearing them. And that's most of us. You have to book an appointment, pay ridiculous amount, and wait two weeks. Zenni Optical fixes all of that. Zenni is an online eyewear shop. Prescription glasses, sunglasses, blue light lenses, starting at under $30. Pick a frame, upload your prescription, and they ship it to your door. No appointment, no store, no upsell at the counter. My last pair from a real glasses place would have been close to $300. Through Zenni, I paid $34. That's less than my lunch last week.

• 7:20AJ Gentile?

  And at that price, something shifts. You stop treating glasses like a massive commitment and start treating them like just a thing you can have. Get the work pair, get the fun pair. At under $30, you don't have to justify it. Over 150,000 5-star reviews. And Zenni has a virtual try-on, so you can see exactly how a frame looks on your face before you come in. Once I actually had the glasses, I couldn't believe I ever waited that long for an appointment in the first place. If your glasses are overdue for a refresh, now is the time.

• 8:14AJ Gentile?

  When the German scientists turned it on, it glowed a pale blue. Plants nearby turned to gray sludge. Animals fell over, convulsed and died. Birds fell out of the sky.

• 8:33AJ Gentile?

  No living thing could survive near the Bell. It ran on zirum 525, sometimes called "red mercury." Red mercury was even more toxic than regular mercury. It was so dangerous and volatile, the entire machine had to be surrounded by lead. Even with heavy shielding, many of the scientists got sick. Their hair fell out, their skin blistered, they vomited blood. It was like radiation poisoning, but much faster acting and much more painful. This was the danger King Boja hinted at. It's why he left a warning, it's why he hesitated. A thousand years later, the Nazis didn't hesitate. The temptation was too great, the stakes were too high. Research was done in a repurposed mine that extended deep beneath the mountains.

• 9:17AJ Gentile?

  A network of tunnels connected the labs and living quarters. Scientists working on the Bell couldn't leave the site. All that mattered was the work. The Nazis knew they were losing the race for the atomic bomb. They were close, but the Manhattan Project was gonna get there first. So Hitler needed a different weapon. Something the Allies couldn't build, something they couldn't fight, something they couldn't even imagine. Fifteen feet tall, nine feet wide, made of a hard, heavy metal and shaped like a church bell, the Glocke. Maintenance panels and portholes ran all the way around it. But that was about it. The real magic was inside the machine, its engine. The cylinders spun in opposite directions.

• 9:58AJ Gentile?

  Spin mercury fast enough, and the counter-rotation could generate anti-gravity, dimension shifting, even invisibility. The Bell's test site was a ring of 11 massive concrete pillars. Each had a heavy iron bolt and chain to tether the machine. A web of wires ran out of the machine and into different consoles and equipment. Since the engine distorted gravity, it also distorted time. On top of the Bell was a special mirror that showed glimpses of the past. That was the main goal of Project Kronos. Free energy was good, anti-gravity was better, but unlocking the secret to time travel, that was how you build an empire to last a thousand years. And the Bell didn't necessarily have to send people back in time.

• 10:43AJ Gentile?

  It just needed to send information, like the D-Day landing site, a new enigma code, or warning against attacking the Soviet Union. The Bell was a true Wunderwaffe, a wonder weapon. But the irony was, the Time Machine Project was running out of time. The Allies tore through Europe from the west, heading straight for Berlin. From the east, the Red Army. Two million soldiers, 8,500 planes, 6,500 tanks. They were unstoppable. But when the Russians finally captured the mine, it was empty. The Nazis were gone. The Bell was gone. And by the time the war was over, every scientist who worked on the project was dead or missing. The Soviets didn't think the mine was abandoned.

• 11:27AJ Gentile?

  They thought someone got there first, murdered the scientists, and stole the Bell. They believed the Bell was on an unmarked ship somewhere, traveling by night, slowly and quietly. Maybe a merchant ship, maybe a private vessel. They didn't know for sure. But the Soviets were sure of one thing: The Bell was headed to the United States. The trapdoor of the gallows dropped, and SS commander Jakob Spornerberg fell. The noose around his throat pulled tight and snapped his neck. A few spasms, then the Nazi commander was gone. He was captured by the British in May of 1945.

• 12:12AJ Gentile?

  During questioning, he mentioned Di Glaca. Now, he wouldn't say what the Bell did, but he did say the project was closed and everyone who worked on it was dead. Around 60 men executed, so the secret would stay buried. The Brits turned him over to the Poles, who tried, convicted, and hanged him the same day. Whatever Spornerberg knew about the Bell disappeared at the end of that rope.

• 12:37AJ Gentile?

  The man at the center of the Bell project was Hans Kommler. Kommler was Hitler's fixer, the man in charge of impossible projects. He oversaw the V-2 rocket program, the world's first ballistic missile. He supervised the Nazi jet aircraft factories. He also ran the tunnel system under the mountains, including the one they called "Der Isar," the giant. Miles of reinforced chambers carved into the rock by prisoners who worked until they died. He designed the mine complex where the Bell was built. But in November 1945, Kommler disappeared. Now, some say he shot himself, others say he took cyanide. One story says he died in a firefight, another that he was captured but escaped. Four stories: none produce a body.

• 13:24AJ Gentile?

  In 1948, a German court declared him legally dead on the testimony of his driver and aide. Again, no body, no dog tags, no grave, just two men swearing he was gone. But that's not what the paperwork says. A US military document dated May 30, 1945, lists the senior German prisoners in American hands. Herman Göring is at the top of the page. Eighteen names later, Hans Kommler. Researchers later found US intelligence reports that put Hans Kommler alive in American custody months after the day he supposedly died. Then he vanished. The men who chased the story think they know why. Kommler made a deal. He traded information for freedom and a new life.

• 14:08AJ Gentile?

  But the US wasn't interested in tunnels, or jets, or rockets. They had those. They wanted the Glocka. They wanted the Bell. More than 1,600 German scientists and engineers were quietly brought to the United States after the war. The program was Operation Paperclip. In exchange for working for the Americans, their war crimes were forgiven and their backgrounds sanitized. The most famous was Wernher von Braun, who designed the V-2 rocket. That rocket eventually became the Saturn V, which took us to the moon.

• 14:36Speaker 03

  Bad news.

• 14:37AJ Gentile?

  Please don't.

• 14:38Speaker 03

  Fifty years ago, they had the technology to get to the moon, yet somehow I have a room but I can't find the kitchen.

• 14:44AJ Gentile?

  About 20,000 prisoners died building his rockets, worked to death or hanged in the factory as a warning. All on Von Braun's watch. Major Werner Von Braun of the SS. Instead of a rope, he got a job, a title, and a pension.

• 14:59Speaker 03

  Nazis commit war crimes, you get a pension and a dental plan. We tell the truth and get an IRS audit. Only in America.

• 15:06AJ Gentile?

  That's actually true. But while Von Braun headed to NASA, Commler went nowhere. Officially, the man who led the Glaca didn't make it to America. But the technology did.

• 15:26AJ Gentile?

  What do you do when the math stops making sense? $39 trillion in debt, another trillion printed every few weeks, stagflation squeezing your dollar, and the people in charge are just calling it a normal day. So here's what the numbers actually say. Over the past year, gold is up around 35%. Silver, up 125%. The stock market clocked in around 27%. Gold and silver aren't just keeping pace, they're not even in the same conversation anymore. And the big banks know it. Bank of America sees silver hitting $309 an ounce. Top banks are projecting gold at $6,300. Now, these aren't fringe predictions. That's Wall Street. Now, here's the part most people miss.

• 16:51AJ Gentile?

  For forty years, every rocket worked the same way: strap a cockpit to a bomb, light the fuse, and pray. Nazi missiles, NASA rockets, same design. Violent, loud, and over in minutes. Nobody thought there was any other way to move through space. Nobody except one engineer at NASA, who thought the whole approach was backwards. In the early 1960s, Harold Kaufman wanted the opposite of a rocket: not a single violent burst, a gentle push that never stopped. An engine that used very little fuel at once, but kept running and running and running for months. Maybe years. The problem was, nobody knew how to build it. The existing designs didn't work, so Kaufman built his own.

• 17:36AJ Gentile?

  And he worked mostly on instinct. He could feel how the charged gas behaved inside the engine before the math caught up. But it caught up. His colleagues were terrified. Kaufman's work was dangerous. He could turn the building into a smoldering crater. But his instinct was right, again and again. And he finally got it to work. Take liquid mercury and boil it into a vapor. Hit that vapor with electrons to charge the atoms. Then throw the charged atoms out the back of the engine at tens of thousands of miles an hour. Now, one atom does almost nothing. But trillions of them, hour after hour, could push a spacecraft clear across the solar system. That's the power of sustained thrust.

• 18:16Speaker 03

  Yeah, I'll show you some sustained thrust.

• 18:19AJ Gentile?

  Take it easy.

• 18:20Speaker 03

  Sorry, sorry. It's the peptides talking.

• 18:22AJ Gentile?

  So that was the first ion engine, and it ran on mercury. When it fired, it glowed a pale blue, the same pale blue the Germans saw coming off the Glac. In 1970, NASA bolted Kaufman's engine to a satellite called CIR-2 and waited for it to die. It didn't. They hoped it would run for six months. It ran for 11 years. They shut it off and restarted it more than 500 times. And it kept working. It finally ran out of fuel in 1981. But it didn't crash, it didn't break down. It's still up there. We're still tracking it.

• 18:57AJ Gentile?

  Cert 2 is considered one of NASA's greatest successes in its entire history. But they walked away from it. Not because it failed, because of what it ran on. Mercury poisoned the people who built the engines. It contaminated the spacecraft. One crash on the launch pad would spread it across the whole site. They bailed on the most efficient engine they ever designed. Because they finally understood what King Bojia knew a thousand years before. Just because you can build something, doesn't mean you should.

• 19:27AJ Gentile?

  But someone always picks the dangerous idea back up. There's always someone who thinks they can control it. Around 2017, the US Navy quietly filed a handful of strange patents. Warping gravity for flight. Bending gravity into a weapon. Cloaking a craft by spinning charged matter. Every one of those technologies traced back to DeGlocke. This couldn't be a coincidence. There was only one explanation that made sense. The US Navy was building the Nazi belt.

• 20:04AJ Gentile?

  In 2017, the US Patent Office denied the US Navy several patents. That's because they sounded like science fiction. A particle weapon that could knock a missile out of the sky. A fusion reactor small enough to fit in a garage. Gravity shielding, cloaking, lensing. And a patent for a vehicle that sounds familiar. A cone-shaped craft that could fly through the air, dive into the ocean, and cross through space. It leaves no heat signature and runs on a single anti-gravity engine. When these patents were rejected as fiction, the Navy's chief technology officer told the Patent Office, "All these inventions worked." And by the way, China was also working on the same technology. So in 2018, the patents were approved.

• 20:46Speaker 03

  China's doing it. Those magic words get any project approved.

• 20:51AJ Gentile?

  That's true.

• 20:52Speaker 03

  Especially projects that try to gain new functions.

• 20:56AJ Gentile?

  Okay.

• 20:56Speaker 03

  What, back joke? I mean, bear joke?

• 20:59AJ Gentile?

  That's enough.

• 21:00Speaker 03

  Sorry, sorry. Get back to the bed. Yeah.

• 21:05AJ Gentile?

  The inventor kept a low profile. He still does. Salvatore Paeis is an aerospace engineer who worked at various secret test bases. When the public learned about the patents, the media wanted to speak to him. He gave no interviews. There are hardly any pictures of him anywhere. He barely exists on paper. Today, he works for the United States Space Force. If you find his cell number, let me know, by the way. All his patents ran on one idea: the Paeis effect. Take an object and give it an electric charge. Spin charged matter fast. Spin it fast enough at the right frequency, you warp the space around it. Suddenly, the rules of physics no longer apply. A craft can be invisible or have no mass. Inertia disappears. Gravity bends around the machine instead of pulling it down.

• 21:49AJ Gentile?

  This is the same technology Spoinberg described 70 years ago. And the same technology King Boja described 1,000 years before that. But Boja wasn't stupid enough to build it. He knew how dangerous mercury was. He saw what happened to the men who handled it. Tremors, vomiting blood, blindness, insanity. He knew one spilled barrel would poison a city. The Nazis ignored that warning in 1945. NASA learned it the hard way in the 60s. But in 2018, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur decided that 1,000 years of wisdom didn't apply to him. He put together a plan to launch thousands of satellites into near-Earth orbit. And they would put 20 metric tons of mercury into the atmosphere. 20 metric tons. Per year.

• 22:34AJ Gentile?

  You want to know what the Earth looks like after a few years of that? Okay, you asked for it.

  It starts in your mouth. A taste like old pennies. Your gums smell and bleed. A tooth comes loose, then another, and you can't stop drooling. Then your hands turn pink, bright and swollen like they've been boiled. Skin peels off your thigh in long red strips. Light is unbearable. You sit in the dark. The sun feels like needles in your eyes. Then comes the tremors. Small at first. It's difficult to write. Then you can't hold the cup. You can't hold the spoon. You can't feed yourself. But by then, you don't care. You have fits of rage, then fear, then long, empty stretches where you can't remember your own children's names. Then you can't remember your own name.

• 24:05AJ Gentile?

  You can't remember anything at all. It's in the rain. Then it's in the wheat. Then in every plant on Earth. The animals go first. Most die of convulsions or internal bleeding. But some go insane. Dogs attack their owners. Cats intentionally drown themselves. And it's in every tap on Earth. You can't boil it out. You can't filter it. And it kills you slowly, mercilessly. By the time you die, you're barely healing. And the babies are born already shaking. That's what worldwide mercury poisoning looks like. And it almost happened.

• 24:44Speaker 03

  Oh, so this isn't gonna happen?

• 24:46AJ Gentile?

  No.

• 24:47Speaker 03

  Ah, that's too bad. When you said cats were drowning, I felt so warm inside.

• 24:52AJ Gentile?

  Stop that.

• 24:53Speaker 03

  This is hell, beast.

• 24:55AJ Gentile?

  The Minamata Convention banned new mercury mining and phased out existing mines. The US signed it in 2013. Mercury could no longer be used in manufacturing and healthcare. But here's the thing about that treaty. It didn't say anything about space. In 2018, Apollo Fusion, Inc. began quietly pitching mercury engines to satellite manufacturers. Mercury was cheap and efficient. A few pounds of mercury could power a satellite for a year. Thousands of satellites means saving billions of dollars. Small problem, though. All those engines admit their mercury waste back to Earth.

• 25:34AJ Gentile?

  A whistleblower did the math. In 2018 alone, about 4,000 satellites were launched. Just 1,000 satellites would dump around 20 tons of mercury into the upper atmosphere, and that was 20 tons every year. It'd be in the rain, then the oceans, then the entire food chain. Mercury would infect every cell of our bodies.

• 25:53Speaker 03

  There's three safety tips for you guppies out there. Don't talk to strangers, don't eat gas-stitched sushi, uh, don't touch a T-1000, or Robert Patrick. Yeah, somebody out there gets it.

• 26:08AJ Gentile?

  In 2022, the UN closed that loophole and banned mercury as satellite fuel. But closing one loophole doesn't close the next. Ban something, and the money just goes looking for the exception, and it always finds one. And whether it's using illegal chemical weapons in Vietnam, or illegal drone strikes on sovereign countries in 2026, nobody's better at war crimes, I mean loopholes, than the USA.

• 27:12AJ Gentile?

  Ancient kings and secret Nazi weapons. This is right up my alley. Love it. But is it true? Well, some of it is, but not all of it. The entire deGlocke story traces back to one man. Igor Wachowski published claims in 2000. He got a tip from an intelligence contact he called Mr. X. Mr. X let Wachowski retranscribe a Spurrenberg's interrogation. He could look and take notes, but he could not make copies. So it's been 25 years, and no one else is seeing those documents. Spurrenberg's actual interrogation transcripts are there. He was a field police commander tried for murdering civilians. There's no bell mentioned in his file. But we don't have to listen to journalists, because why would you? We can listen to the Nazi scientists themselves, literally.

• 27:59AJ Gentile?

  At the end of the war, the British rounded up 10 of Germany's top nuclear physicists. They put them in a country house and bugged every room. For six months, scientists talked freely. They argued about why Germany's atomic program failed. They argued about quantum mechanics. They argued about women. The transcripts came out in 1992, hundreds of pages. There's no mention of a bell, no serum 525, no chronos, no red mercury, no flying machines. And these are the men who would know. These were the scientists linked to the Glocke by Igor Wachowski. Those 11 concrete pillars in the forest? Well, they make the story feel real because they're there. But it's just a base for an industrial water tower. There are structures like this all over Europe.

• 28:42AJ Gentile?

  The Glocke story really took off in 2001, when Nick Cook wrote about it in his book, "The Hunt for Zero Point." Cook was a respected aerospace journalist. His book was about advanced propulsion. He was intrigued by the Glocke story, but he framed it as part of a pattern of rumors around Nazi wonder weapons. He never said it was true. In 2021, he said the Glocke was probably part of Germany's nuclear program and probably designed for enriching uranium. But that's not the end of the story. Like all good urban legends, there's plenty of truth here. Kambogia was real. He wrote hundreds of books about everything, including engineering. The Samarangara Sutradara is real. It really does describe mercury and fire lifting a craft into the sky, and he really

• 29:27AJ Gentile?

  refuses to finish the instructions. Vamanas were real. Sort of. They were flying chariots or flying palaces used by gods in Hindu literature. Now, were the ancient Indians describing UFOs? That's a different episode.

• 29:41Speaker 03

  Yeah, you're nasty.

• 29:43AJ Gentile?

  That's the theory. NASA really did power satellites and spacecraft with mercury. They stopped in the 1970s because it was so toxic. That didn't stop a former Google exec from trying to get rich. Salvatore Paez is a real engineer. The patents for anti-gravity and visibility faster than light travel? All real. But Paez has no peer-reviewed evidence, and his descriptions are vague, and they mix proven science with speculation. He's been widely criticized by physicists and engineers for those claims. Forbes magazine said his technology is either an Einstein-level breakthrough or a government-funded gaslighting. I think you know where I stand on that.

  What about the disappearance of Hans Kommler? Well, the story is dicey. There are documents putting Kommler in US custody. He was even assigned an interrogator. But the US has never released an official statement. Foyer requests about him are denied, or disappear, or are heavily redacted. American intelligence has plenty of records about Kommler, but most of them are still classified. Now, from my research, I'm pretty sure the Americans had him. Now, whether he died, was murdered, escaped, or given a deal, I don't know. The US is still hiding a lot of information that's 80 years old. Red mercury, that's a myth. But there's a reason that real mercury shows up in so many stories. It's fascinating.

• 31:09AJ Gentile?

  Mercury is the only metal that's liquid at room temperature. It's heady, it flows like water, it carries electricity. And when you charge it, it glows. It looks like magic. But it's dangerous magic. Boja said he left the instructions out for the sake of secrecy. For a thousand years, people read that one way. He didn't want anyone to abuse the technology. But Boja wasn't protecting the machine from us. He was protecting us from the machine. And look at what happened every time someone actually built the mercury engine. It worked. Engineers ran mercury through power plants, and it was more efficient than steam. NASA used it in satellites that ran forever. The machine was never the problem. The mercury was. Every one of those projects died the same way.

• 31:54AJ Gentile?

  Not from failure, from poison. This was the lesson King Boja tried to teach us a thousand years ago. Just because you can build something doesn't mean you should. And as long as mercury and greed exist at the same time, someone's always going to try to conquer mercury, and a lot of people are going to get hurt.

• 32:14AJ Gentile?

  So, mercury or greed. We have to get rid of one of those. But there's really only one we can control. Because mercury, the magical metal that can destroy a civilization, it lasts forever.
