Let us know in the comments what your favorite Antarctica-related theory is!

[Aditya_-kl]

Secrets of The First Order isn’t just another book about secret societies—it’s a dangerous weapon. The kind of book they would bury if it ever got too much attention. Every chapter digs deeper into the hidden forces that have shaped our world from behind the scenes. What shook me most wasn’t what I learned—but how much I already sensed and ignored. Reading it felt like someone finally giving me permission to trust my instincts again. A must-read if you’re serious about reclaiming your mind.

Love that Hydra might've hidden a base there. 😂

The most mysterious place on earth! Admiral Byrd, Piri Reis map, what’s buried beneath the Ice? Why did all nations sign a treaty over the land? Have to get permission to visit there, there is so much to learn about Antarctica

Why is there a no-fly zone over a specific spot where the US, Russia, and China facilities are said to be located. Why are they there and what are they working on.

I AM EXCITED FOR THIS BRILLIANT VIDEO!

CRAZY MYSTERIES FOR EVERYONE!!!

Reading Secrets of The First Order felt like waking up from a dream I didn’t even realize I was trapped inside. For years, I accepted the official stories—history, media, government—believing I understood reality. This book shattered that illusion completely. It’s not just a book—it’s a rebellion disguised as knowledge. If you still trust everything you’re told, don’t bother. But if you feel deep inside that there’s more to this world than you’ve been shown, this is your call to arms.

I finished Secrets of The First Order in one sitting because I simply couldn’t walk away. It spoke directly to a part of me that’s been silenced for too long—the part that knew something was wrong with the stories we’ve been fed. Every word felt raw, real, and necessary. This isn’t about comfortable myths; it’s about uncomfortable truths. If you’re looking for a book to make you feel good, look elsewhere. If you’re ready to face what’s been hidden all along—this is it.

When I picked up Secrets of The First Order, I thought it would be just another book about conspiracies and myths. I was wrong. This book hit me like a freight train. It didn’t just hint at hidden truths—it ripped the curtain down. Every page felt like a slap to the face I didn’t know I needed. If you’ve ever felt deep down that the world is built on unseen forces you can't explain, Secrets of The First Order will tear that veil wide open. Absolutely life-altering.

Wonder if these mysteries will ever be solved... I'm getting chills just thinking about it! 😅

[JanetteAlfaro-rm]

It isn't ANTARTICA it's ANTARCTICA.

[Stablemable]

I like the Duran Duran song My Antartica.

[Actress_Monica_Biel]

That sounds like an awesome topic! Antarctica really is a treasure trove of mysteries, from the Lava Lake to those wild UFO theories. I’d love to hear what everyone’s favorite theory is too!

[tdthib]

I would love to live and work there. So many mysteries. My favorite conspiracy theory is the pyramid.

The chilian woman was most likely during the slave trade. Wasn't a good enough slave so they threw her overboard on their travels. Probably wasn't able to sell her due to being sick or she rebelled.

The only mystery I want to know is what Childs The Thing?

[NiqueSmith]

I'm so surprised about the country Antarctica. You can thank History Channel's Anicent Ailens series.
