18 Forbidden Places

Do you know about the island that's off-limits because of its deadly snake population? Or the impenetrable vault that supposedly holds the secret Coca-Cola recipe? This episode of The List Show is all about Forbidden Places that humans are strictly barred from visiting. Some are forbidden to protect secrets, and others are forbidden to protect humans from an unseemly fate.

I just want to say thank you for continuing to make content

Can you cover the sheer number of people that would have to be "in on it" for conspiracies like the moon landing and flat earth. For flat earth not just governments and any scientist in the Earth Sciences but also most anyone in the navigation industry, air and sea travel, the telecommunication industry, whole aerospace and satellite companies. The numbers would be staggering.

For the record: my favourite conspiracy theory is that they hired Stanley Kubrick to fake the moon landings but because he was such a perfectionist he insisted they film it on location on the moon.

"one to five snakes.. but we aren't sure those could be an exaggeration " very nice reporting

As an Australian, I appreciate you having a crack, but Ayers rock is pronounced like "airs rock" and Uluru is OO-luh-ROO

I read "18 forbidden palaces" before watching the video. But it was still interesting, as always.

What a great, enjoyable episode! Keep up the good work!

Remember when Storm Area 51 was one of the craziest things going on in the world?

[groovylobster]

It would be interesting to see mention of the phenomenon of finding patterns/correlation in things that don't have any, because that seems to be a huge driving factor in people's belief in conspiracy theories.

At the moment, the entire outside world is forbidden to me. Damn you covid!

Does Dyatlov's Pass count as a conspiracy theory for your purposes? A group of climbers went missing and then were found in mysterious ways that had many conspiracies about how they sustained their injuries. Cool and creepy story. Last Podcast on the Left covered it

I see The Voynich Manuscript behind you. I'd love a List Show about that!!

imagine if one person was able to visit all these places in their lifetime...

[Litera_Trotter]

I loved the Robert Langdon reference. In Angels and Demons he do visit it.

A scientific study published in 2019 by Goreis & Voracek stated that, “fear and anxiety were reported as positive predictors of conspiracy beliefs. As people are anxious, fear a threatening situation, or have low perceived feelings of control over situations, they tend to conspiracies.”

Really good video. I’m surprised you didn’t mention North Sentinel Island. It’s a really interesting thing to research if you’ve never heard of it.

[wandabissell]

And you didn't mention North Sentinel Island?!

You all have the same living room. Nice.

Added a like because of the copy of CHUD on the shelf.

Uluru should have an emphasis on the first syllable OO-lu-ru
