Thank you We sneak Okay so have you ever heard

00:06

of like a talking statue or something like that If

00:08

you haven't there's plenty of them in one in particular

00:11

is probably more famous than anything that you've heard of

00:14

before It was called rooms passkey no statue I'm pretty

00:18

sure i may be saying that wrong but it's okay

00:21

there was an ancient statue that started out because there

00:24

was a lot of churchgoers and from the catholic church

00:28

i think they were digging They're a bunch of stuff

00:30

you know from the olden days and found the statue

00:33

and the statue was beaten the face was unrecognizable it

00:37

had no arms barely you know legs and just scratches

00:40

and things all over And so they couldn't figure out

00:42

what mythological character that the statue was based off and

00:46

so because they couldn't figure it out they couldn't put

00:48

it up with all the other winds and you know

00:50

let it be prominent because it was kind of ruined

00:52

And so instead they decided to just throw it out

00:54

in the town square and start posting posters and things

00:57

on that you know how would you go to like

00:59

a church or on office And you see the bulletin

01:02

board that has posters and take one of these you

01:05

know what They cut the little take one of those

01:07

things that's basically what the statute became well fighting for

01:10

them this thing caught on and so a lot of

01:13

people started posting and tagging things on there and it

01:17

got even so much to the point where people started

01:19

writing stuff on there but it wasn't just you know

01:21

normal helpful things that was mohr humorist iq type thing

01:25

So we're talking political sarcasm even some marangi humor orson

01:31

humorous poetry on they're all dealing with the political and

01:35

governmental establishment This was the original facebook or the original

01:39

social media network that everybody would put their opinions political

01:43

views and everything on and so think about that the

01:45

next time you want to post something on somebody's wall

01:47

And so this went on for quite a while I

01:49

think on this whole thing should big god started in

01:52

fifteen oh one and then i guess they were doing

01:55

it so much that authorities were like whoa this is

01:57

too much you know You guys need to slow down

02:00

You know they decreed this thing that they were you

02:02

know announcing to everyone to please stop doing this and

02:04

people would stop doing it And so they tried to

02:06

take the statue and you know clean it off and

02:09

stuff like that and put borders and things around it

02:11

the kind of guard it and then people started putting

02:13

it on other statues that was happening to more famous

02:17

statues things that definitely shouldn't have been written on And

02:19

so authorities saw that were like okay maybe we spoke

02:22

too soon do what you want with a pass key

02:24

no statue and start putting things on there But the

02:27

one thing that they didn't ever know is what the

02:30

statue wass who was that a statue of and how

02:33

did the name passkey no come about Well come to

02:36

think of it they said something to the effect of

02:38

that it was a cobbler who was like hey this

02:40

looks like a good pass key no statue when it's

02:42

stuck and so they're using it calling koski no is

02:46

getting more and more famous And then finally somebody figures

02:50

out what the statue really is and it's a statue

02:53

Of mental ahas But by now it's already too late

02:55

because it's become more famous is pass kino than it

02:58

would have ever been as minal aaa's So that's the 00:03:01.403 --> [endTime] rome's passkey No ancient statue boom
