Chronovisor: The Vatican's Secret Device to See Through Time
[Music]. vatican city is an inspirational place. you don't need to be catholic or even. religious to appreciate the architecture. the art and the city's historical. significance but there is a place within. the vatican that's rarely seen hidden. beneath the city is an underground. fortress inaccessible to the public and. protected by armed guards and. state-of-the-art security the secret. apostolic archives within the stone and. steel reinforced walls are vaults. climate-controlled rooms and over 50. miles of shelves and on those shelves.
are countless texts relics and artifacts. collected by the church for over a. thousand years and one of the most. intriguing objects hidden in the archive. is called the chronovisor a device that. can view events anywhere and anytime in. history and for years its existence was. just a rumor no proof of the chronovisor. was ever found but a book released by a. vatican priest would change all that. let's find out why.
pellegrino ernetti was a scientist. world-class authority on music and a. scholar he spoke several languages he. dabbled in electronics physics and even. the occult arts he also happened to be a. benedictine monk now whether by luck or. by fate father pellegrino or neddy found. himself in the company of francois brune. a priest from france and they were. sharing a ferry ride down the grand. canal in venice the water was calm and. the trip was long so the men struck up a. conversation they shared a love of.
languages science and history and they. were discussing different. interpretations of the bible when. hernetti interrupted there's nothing to. interpret ernetti said it's possible to. see what actually happened to see the. truth with your own eyes the broom. thought ernetti was joking or being. rhetorical. he wasn't ernetti spoke of a device he. had worked on hidden in the deepest most. secret levels of the vatican archive a. device that allowed its operator to. witness events anywhere and any time in. the past and it was called the.
chronovisor do a time machine sort of. you can't travel anywhere with the. chronovisor but you can program it to. show you certain events on a screen like. a television oh boy you can stream. anything these days now francois brune. was stunned by the story he knew father. pellegrino ernetti to be a serious man. ernetti was well read well educated and. well respected in the church he was not. one for exaggeration yet ernetti claimed. to have heard speeches by napoleon and. mussolini he visited ancient rome and.
ernetti was amazed that cicero was as. captivating as speaker as history. claimed my name is maximus desmos. viridius commander of the armies of the. north general of the felix legions and. loyal servant to the true emperor marcus. aurelius father to a murdered son. husband to a murdered wife and i will. have my vengeance in this life what a. next. are you not entertained. i'm not anyway broon wanted to know.
about the events in the bible did they. really happen it's all true ernetti said. he had seen the final days of jesus. including his crucifixion he saw the. creation of the ten commandments the. last supper the destruction of sodom and. gomorrah and everything in the bible the. broon was obviously skeptical even. though ernetti was intelligent and. talented he didn't have the skill and. knowledge needed to build this kind of. device and ernetti agreed that he. couldn't build the chronovisor himself. he had help.
[Music]. in 1952 father pellegrino arnetti was. working on a project at the catholic. university of milan and being an expert. in early christian music he was studying. and restoring tape recordings of. gregorian chants while listening to one. of the tapes the school's founder father. agostino jameli was convinced he heard. his father's voice even though his. father was dead at the time of the. recording but what gemelli heard was not. his dead father relaying some profound. message to his son from beyond the grave.
what he heard was more mundane his. father arguing with someone over the. price of shoe wax jamelli's father was a. cobbler who made and sold shoes and. jamelli thought he'd been given a gift. from god but hernetti wondered if there. was a scientific reason for this that. the sights and sounds of people in the. past somehow continued to exist long. after they happened and if they did. could they be detected. well it does and this technology is not. that different from what we now call.
evps or electronic voice phenomena and. since jameli was president of the. pontifical academy of sciences he was. able to fund a project to explore the. possibility of listening or seeing. events from the past ernetti assembled a. team of 12 scientists but he would only. reveal the names of two and one was. enrico fermi the nobel prize-winning. physicist known for fermi's paradox and. for creating the world's first nuclear. reactor the other scientist was nazi. rocket scientist turned director of nasa.
werner von braun like sound waves can be. pressed into vinyl to produce a. recording ernetti said that his team had. discovered that light and sound. continued to exist as forms of energy. and using a series of antennas the. chronovisor could detect this residual. electromagnetic radiation and translate. it into image and sound operators of the. chronovisor could designate a specific. date and location then the scene was. reconstructed on a large cathode ray. tube now francois broome was obviously.
amazed by the story and asked her nettie. what happened to the device bernetti. said that once the team realized what. they had invented they brought their. discovery to the pope and since the. chronovisor can tune into any place and. time in the past it could be used as a. powerful weapon it could reveal state. secrets or be used for blackmail so pope. pius xii worried that in the wrong hands. the chronovisor could launch a. dictatorship unlike anything the world. had ever seen the pope ordered the.
machine dismantled and forbid anyone. from speaking of it ernetti said this. was the first he's spoken of it in over. 10 years and brune understood and agreed. that a machine like the chronovisor. would be extremely dangerous and it was. probably best if it stayed hidden and. dismantled but brune said tornetti it's. too bad there's no proof that the. chronovisor actually worked ernetti said. to brune my friend i have proof. quintus inius was a writer and poet who.
lived during the roman republic between. 239 and 169 bc he's often considered the. father of roman poetry and during his. lifetime he wrote about 20 plays and an. epic poem on the history of rome called. the annals but only a few fragments of. his work survive his final play the. estes was produced shortly before his. death in 169 bc and scholars have. wondered about this play for centuries. they knew the story was based on the. writing of another author seneca but the. actual text of theestes except for a few.
lines has been lost to history ernetti. used the chronovisor to visit rome in. 169 bc where he saw a performance of the. play in a roman square ernetti fluent in. latin was able to transcribe and finally. complete enes's play after 2 000 years. and that manuscript still exists the. story of the chronovisor remained hidden. for another 12 years or so then in 1972. an article appeared in the italian. magazine le domenica del corriere.
the headline of the article was a. machine that photographs the past has. finally been invented and some believe. that the chronovisor was not dismantled. but was actually functional and being. used by the church to maintain watch and. control of the population that theory. makes sense oh you you believe that one. huh. in the woods. soon several photos were leaked. including this one taken by ernetti. himself ernetti used the chronovisor to. view jesus's entire final day including.
his crucifixion my favorite photo is. this one which shows jesus walking and. talking with his followers. and this photo is also pretty compelling. but again the chronovisor fell out of. the public eye all the information was. suppressed by the church or that well. then in 2002 francois bruin released his. book called the new mystery of the. vatican which documents his relationship. with ernetti and includes more details. of what ernetti saw with the chronovisor. and even includes blueprints for the.
machine. and father pellegrino ernetti passed. away in 1994 but until his dying day he. swore the chronovisor was real he even. published an open letter saying so. father francois brune passed away in. 2019 and during his life he published. multiple books and papers on theology. and its relationship to quantum physics. he gave talks on evp phenomena. communicating with spirits and many. different aspects of parapsychology he.
too until his last day believed the. chronovisor existed and possibly still. exists today two highly regarded and. well-respected clergymen insisted that. the vatican is in possession of the most. important most advanced and most. dangerous scientific invention ever. created the vatican denies this claim as. fantasy so. who's telling the truth. [Music]. the chronovisor is a story that bothers. me. on one hand there are a lot of details.
that are easily debunked but on the. other hand the story comes from credible. sources father pellegrino arnetti was. well known and highly respected by his. peers he spent most of his life. researching teaching and writing and his. books are highly regarded father. francois brune is also well known and. respected so why would these men of such. high esteem risk their reputations on a. lie of this magnitude what was there to. gain their entire lives both men said. this device existed and possibly still.
exists but the legend of the chronovisor. does have a few problems first anyone. who can confirm that it existed in the. first place is dead when the story first. emerged fermi had been gone a long time. and von braun while still alive never. mentioned it von braun had a lot of. secrets though he sure did and it's fair. to point out that both fermi and von. braun worked on multiple top secret. projects during and after the war now. the photos associated with the. chronovisor are fake the crucifixion.
photo is actually a picture of a statue. from a church in central italy and the. sculptor was lorenzo valera a relatively. famous spanish artist who created the. statue shortly before his death in 1931. when confronted about this bruin said. valera took inspiration from a nun who. had seen a vision of the crucifixion and. that's why the statue is so similar to. the photo taken from the chronovisor but. to me they don't look similar they look. identical but father brune said the. photo was real and there are other.
photos associated with the chronovisor. but these became attached to the story. over the years they don't come from. ernetti this one is sometimes attributed. to the chronovisor but it shows up in. other urban legends as well it's a. photograph but not one taken through a. time machine it's a photo of a painting. by german artist johannes rafael vela. it's called jesus among the wheat fields. and was painted around the year 1900 and. this photo is another that's become. attached to the chronovisor this is a.
photograph of a painting by eugene. bernande called peter and john running. to the tomb dated 1898. so what of. ernetti's transcription of the estes. well it doesn't hold up ernetti had. written about 150 lines which he said. was the complete play but experts are. pretty sure the play would have been. much longer than that probably a. thousand lines or more and linguists. aren't impressed with the transcription. scholars have said the latin is clumsy. and uses words that wouldn't appear in. the language for at least 200 years so.
whoever wrote it wasn't a native speaker. in 1994 just after ernetti's death a. letter was published by someone who. claimed to be a distant relative of his. but wanted to remain anonymous this. person said that on ernetti's deathbed. he confessed that the photo and his. writing of the estes were fake and that. enrico fermi had nothing to do with the. machine but he still claimed the. chronovisor was real then another. distant relative said ernetti made the. whole story up to get more people. interested in the church i don't trust.
when distant relatives suddenly crawl. out of the woodwork well father francois. bruin didn't trust them either he. insisted that the chronovisor was real. and if fernetti confessed it was because. he was coerced to do so by the church. i believe well that brings up an. interesting side note now obviously the. catholic church said the chronovisor. wasn't real but in 1988 the church. issued a strange decree but said if. anyone was caught using a machine like. the chronovisor they would immediately. be excommunicated so if the chronovisor.
is fake why bother releasing a statement. like that at all when i first heard the. story of the chronovisor it was one that. i desperately wanted to be true and many. people believe it is true believers say. the church keeps the chronovisor a. secret but does use it occasionally to. influence world events and that's. something to think about if the. technology exists that allows someone to. view anyone anywhere and at any time in. history we wouldn't want any government. to have such immense power and the only.
worst institution to be the steward of. this technology that i can think of is. an organized religion. so with that in mind. i don't know if the chronovisor is real. but for all our sakes i really hope it. isn't. thank you so much for hanging out with. me today my name is aj that's hecklefish. this has been the y-files if you had fun. or learned anything do me a favor and. like subscribe comment and share those. things really help a small channel now i.
love the secrets of the bible and the. vatican so i'd like to do more of these. and if you want to hear those stories. let me know in the comments until next. time be safe. be kind and know that you are. appreciated. [Music].
you.
