Ilko reveals he's found evidence that the biblical Promised Land could actually be located in the Netherlands.

The episode begins with host Marco welcoming back Ilko, who previously discussed mysterious patterns in the Netherlands linked to Greek and Germanic myths. Ilko has since written a book expanding this idea to biblical stories, concluding the Promised Land may be in the Netherlands. He explains his method: combining mythology, place names, and star images to build a case beyond coincidence. Ilko shows examples, such as names from the tribe of Benjamin matching Dutch locations like Empel (from Bet-el). He argues these names haven't changed in thousands of years. Ilko discusses the migration of Sea Peoples from Northwestern Europe to the Middle East around 1200 BC, linking it to biblical events like Gog and Magog and citing DNA evidence. He suggests this migration influenced cultures in Israel and Greece. The conversation shifts to hidden powers, with Ilko showing how elites use reptile and dragon symbolism, referencing the Vatican, Chinese emperors, and European institutions. He connects this to lines on the ground in the Netherlands, like those from Apeldoorn to global sites. Ilko touches on royal lineages possibly descending from biblical figures and the suppression of esoteric knowledge. The host reflects on how this challenges conventional history and the role of institutions like the Catholic Church. Ilko encourages open investigation, noting growing interest from younger researchers despite resistance from established academia.
