Steven knew that the footage he had
0:01
captured with his drone was special, but
0:03
he had no idea just how special it
0:05
actually was because what he assumed
0:07
would only get him a few likes online
0:09
turned out to help [music] solve a
0:10
mystery that had gone unexplained for
0:12
500 years. And a lot of people did not
0:14
want this secret to [music] come to
0:15
light. The footage that he had captured
0:17
with his drone proved it beyond a shadow
0:19
of a doubt. And he was ready to show
0:20
this bombshell to the world. But what
0:22
did Steven capture [music] on his drone
0:24
footage? What was this strange
0:26
500-year-old story? and why did the
0:28
locals want to keep the truth [music]
0:29
about a secret? But before we start,

0:38
predicted the impact his footage from
0:40
that day would have. He had gone out
0:42
into the mountain with the intention of
0:43
getting some great aerial shots for the
0:45
mountain tops [music] that were now
0:46
surprisingly devoid of snow. He was
0:48
working on a documentary about climate
0:50
change [music] and wanted to use this
0:51
drone footage as an illustration for a
0:53
section about the temperature increasing
0:55
to snow melting highs in the normally
0:57
ice and ice cold mountain. But the
0:58
footage would eventually never make it
1:00
into any film or documentary. [music]
1:02
Steven had gone out into the mountains
1:04
alone that day. He was in Nepal with a
1:06
small crew associated with a
1:08
documentary. The rest of them had
1:09
interviews with locals scheduled today.
1:11
So Steven decided this would be the best
1:13
use of his time. After 3 hours of
1:16
journeying up into the mountains, he let
1:17
his drone fly free. Steven had 10
1:19
minutes to shoot as [music] much footage
1:21
as possible, so there was no time to be
1:23
wasted. He was looking for mountains
1:24
with as little snow as [music] possible,
1:26
and one small mountain range did seem to
1:28
stand out to him from afar because you
1:30
could see a lot of snowless rock. It was
1:32
seemingly the perfect shot for the
1:33
movie. But when the drone hovered above
1:35
it, Steven noticed there was something
1:37
else strange about it. Steven was a man
1:39
on a mission. He'd made [music] the trip
1:41
with friends and some colleagues, but
1:42
Steven knew that each of them would be
1:44
set on making their own discoveries.
1:46
This meant he'd looked at several aerial
1:48
pictures to get a better understanding.
1:50
But this this was like nothing he'd ever
1:52
seen. A goddess, he thought to himself
1:54
[music] mystified. Steven could barely
1:56
believe his eyes. He scanned the camera
1:58
lens, wiping at it to make sure the
1:59
[music] view in front of him was real.
2:01
The more he wiped, the less convinced he
2:03
was, but nothing changed. It seemed
2:05
[music] almost too good to believe. The
2:06
sheep in front of him resembled a
2:08
sleeping woman. He watched the image
2:10
come into focus [music] as he moved his
2:12
drone around some more, but nothing
2:14
changed. The image stayed the same. Now
2:16
he was confused for a completely
2:17
different reason. If he didn't imagine
2:19
things, why was this the first he had
2:21
ever seen of it? His battery was low. It
2:23
was a sharp jerk to reality. Looking at
2:25
the number, it read 40%. If his drone
2:27
was going to make it back, he would need
2:29
to turn off the camera and steer it
2:30
back. [music] Steven couldn't fight the
2:32
excitement as he steered the drone back.
2:34
He'd brought an extra pack of batteries
2:36
and would switch them for more shots.
2:38
But for now, the images would be more
2:39
than enough. Soon, he would share the
2:41
evidence of the sleeping beauty that
2:43
rested above the mountains. He knew it
2:45
would be great, but [music] never
2:46
expected the results. Steven had shut
2:48
off the camera to ensure the drone made
2:50
it safely [music] down. But even that
2:52
wasn't enough to get it safely back to
2:54
him. The battery died and the drone fell
2:55
into the snow. [music] Steven sighed in
2:57
frustration, but was glad he could make
2:59
the hike up to the drone. But what he
3:01
found left him even more stunned. It
3:03
took about an hour for Steve to get to
3:05
the top. He was exhausted and out of
3:07
[music] breath. Kneeling, he let himself
3:09
relax for a moment before searching for
3:10
his drone with his eyes. But instead of
3:12
his expensive equipment, his eyes landed
3:15
on a middle-aged woman dressed in thick
3:16
traditional clothes, and she did not
3:18
look pleased to [music] see him. Steven
3:20
knew that a few tribes lived up in the
3:21
mountains, but had no interaction with
3:23
them. He wanted to explain himself, but
3:25
she began to yell in a foreign language.
3:27
Steven did not understand a word she was
3:29
saying, but it was clear from her tone
3:31
that she was furious. She stretched her
3:33
hands, and that's when he saw it. In her
3:35
hands was a stick of some kind, and she
3:37
waved it and yelled. But that was not
3:39
what Steven's eyes had settled
3:40
[music] on. Steven was transfixed on the
3:42
object behind her. His drone was smashed
3:44
into tiny pieces in the snow. This
3:47
strange woman had destroyed months of
3:48
his savings, and he had no idea why. At
3:51
this point, Steven had equally lost his
3:53
temper. The two of them were now yelling
3:54
at each other in languages that were
3:56
foreign to the other, but neither of
3:58
them backed down. Steven was furious
4:00
about his expensive equipment, and the
4:02
lady was furious about his presence. But
4:04
things took an unexpected turn. The lady
4:06
pulled out an axe. Steven was stunned
4:08
into silence. This had gone far beyond
4:11
an angry spat and his life felt in
4:12
danger. Seeing no other way around it,
4:14
he took a leap of faith and crouched
4:16
down into a ball as he slid off the top
4:18
of the cliff, using the snow as a
4:20
natural sled. [music] He prayed he would
4:22
make it down safely. Luckily, the
4:24
mountain was steeped in snow, making a
4:26
bumpy but nonetheless safe ride down. By
4:28
the time he made it down, Steven had
4:30
lost his drone, the batteries, and
4:32
admittedly some of his manly [music]
4:33
pride. But he was safe, and thankfully,
4:35
the footage from the drone was as well
4:37
because he'd set it to automatically
4:39
upload to the cloud. The walk back to
4:41
his lodge was stressful, and Steven
4:42
[music] felt frazzled. He still wasn't
4:44
sure what about him had angered her.
4:46
Perhaps he'd crossed into her private
4:48
territory. [music] He admitted to
4:49
himself that yelling at her in a foreign
4:51
language had likely made it worse, but
4:53
that was a mystery for another day. For
4:56
now, he had one goal. The lodge was warm
4:58
and [music] Steven was glad to be back
5:00
in the town with warm water and no angry
5:02
women holding axes. He still could not
5:04
believe the turn his day had taken.
5:06
Checking the footage on his laptop, he
5:08
was glad it had been safe. It was a long
5:10
day and he needed some rest, but not
5:12
before he did one last thing. Steven
5:14
dragged himself out of bed to the sound
5:16
of loud pounding [music] against his
5:18
room door. He had asked to not be
5:20
disturbed as he wanted to sleep in, so
5:22
he assumed it was one of his colleagues
5:24
coming [music] to discuss something
5:25
important, but it was unexpected.
5:27
guests. When Steven looked through the
5:28
hole in the door, he saw that there was
5:30
a bunch of local police waiting for him,
5:32
[music] and they did not look happy at
5:34
all. From the agents facial expressions,
5:36
Steven sees that they are under great
5:38
stress. One of the agents even stands
5:40
with his hand on his gun, ready to
5:42
shoot. A bit afraid, Steven [music]
5:44
asked them what they wanted through the
5:45
door. He would not open the door if they
5:47
did not reveal it to him. But then he
5:49
got the warning that they would kick in
5:50
the door if he did not open it in 5
5:52
seconds. He had no choice. [music]
5:54
Steven had to make a decision in a split
5:56
second. He quickly grabbed his to-go
5:58
bag, which he had readied the night
5:59
before and jumped out the hotel room
6:01
window onto the fire escape. He did not
6:04
expect that jump to be so high. Upon
6:06
landing, his ankles [music] hurt
6:08
considerably, but he escaped. He quickly
6:11
made his way down as he heard his door
6:12
being beaten down. He had no idea what
6:14
these people [music] wanted, but it
6:16
could not be good. Could it have
6:17
something to do with the drone footage
6:19
he shot yesterday? First, the strange
6:21
woman, now the local police. something
6:24
was going on here and the only way he
6:26
could think of figuring this out was to
6:27
see the footage. Then he is startled.
6:30
Did he take his cell phone from the
6:31
hotel room? Luckily, he did. Now he
6:34
could check the footage on his phone. He
6:36
found himself a hidden spot and started
6:37
to play the footage. He looked around
6:39
carefully to be sure no one noticed him.
6:42
At first, nothing seemed unusual. Then
6:44
something caught his attention. The
6:46
outline of a distant mountain range
6:48
appeared on the screen and the shape
6:49
felt oddly familiar. He [music] had seen
6:51
it before, though he could not
6:53
immediately remember where. After a
6:55
moment, it [music] came back to him. The
6:57
mountain looked exactly like the one
6:58
described in an ancient story told about
7:00
this region, a legend said to be more
7:02
than 500 years old. Locals had always
7:05
dismissed it as a myth, but now Steven
7:07
wondered if it had been true all along.
7:10
According to the tale, there was a cave
7:12
hidden near the head of the mountain,
7:13
guarding something important. The
7:15
strange reactions from the locals and
7:17
the police presence only strengthened
7:19
[music] his belief. If it truly was just
7:21
a myth, why go to such lengths to stop
7:23
him? Steven knew he had to find out.
7:26
[music] Still, he understood that no one
7:28
would believe him based on footage and
7:29
stories alone. If proof existed, it
7:32
would be inside that cave. Reaching it
7:34
would not be easy. Steven [music]
7:36
prepared carefully for the long journey
7:37
across the icy plane. He bought winter
7:39
clothes and supplies from a store not
7:41
owned by locals and set out toward the
7:43
mountains. Knowing the trip could take
7:45
several days. Getting back [music] was
7:46
difficult. The area was now more heavily
7:49
guarded by local police, but the terrain
7:51
was vast and they could not watch
7:53
everything, Steven avoided the main
7:55
routes and managed to slip through
7:56
unnoticed. Once [music] past the
7:58
checkpoints, the path ahead was clear.
8:00
However, the cold quickly became
8:02
dangerous. At one point, one of his toes
8:05
began to freeze, [music] forcing him to
8:06
stop and warm it before continuing. Even
8:09
then, fear followed him constantly. He
8:11
worried about being caught by locals or
8:13
arrested, [music] but he pressed on.
8:15
After more than 20 hours of walking, he
8:17
finally reached what he believed was the
8:19
head of the mountain ring. Now he had to
8:21
find the cave. [music] He did not have
8:23
to search long. Just as the old story
8:25
described, there was an opening in the
8:27
rock. Excitement surged through him as
8:29
he stood before it. But he was not
8:31
alone. In the distance, Steven noticed a
8:33
large group approaching, wearing
8:35
traditional regional clothing. There
8:37
were at least 15 people, [music] and
8:38
they were heading straight for the cave.
8:40
They were clearly coming to secure it.
8:42
Steven had to choose escape [music]
8:43
while he still could or enter the cave
8:45
and risk being captured. The sensible
8:47
option was clear, but he could not turn
8:49
back now. He rushed inside the cave as
8:52
commotion erupted behind him. The locals
8:54
had seen him. Darkness swallowed him as
8:56
he ran deeper, barely able to see, but
8:58
he kept going. After several minutes, he
9:01
reached a chamber and stopped in
9:02
disbelief. Shining his flashlight into
9:04
the darkness, he saw it. The legend had
9:07
been true. The golden treasures of the
9:09
natives were hidden there. Hearing
9:11
[music] footsteps approaching, Steven
9:13
quickly took a photo, intending to share
9:15
it with the world. Suddenly, [music] his
9:17
phone cracked. Panic set in as he
9:19
restarted it, and thankfully, it worked
9:21
again. Just as he prepared to send the
9:23
image, the locals rushed into the
9:25
chamber and stopped when they saw him.
9:27
They demanded that he not release the
9:29
picture. Steven [music] explained his
9:30
intentions, and soon they were ready to
9:32
negotiate. They did not want fame or
9:34
profit. They only wanted their ancestors
9:36
treasure to remain protected. Steven
9:39
[music] understood. A deal was made.
9:41
They arranged that Steven could leave if
9:42
he promised to not release the [music]
9:44
pictures. The locals were now going to
9:46
move the treasure to a secure location
9:47
so that nobody would ever find it again.
9:50
Steven leaves the cave and begins the
9:51
long journey back. [music] He may not
9:53
have pictures or treasure. Then he does
9:56
have a great story to tell his friends
9:57
and family.
