Chronovisor: The Vatican’s Secret Time Machine That Saw Jesus?

Is the Chronovisor real—the Vatican’s secret time machine that saw Jesus? Join Ben Chasteen and Rob Counts on this Friday Night Live as they take you on a journey through time and see if there’s any truth to the mysterious Chronovisor’s existence.

The mysterious device known as the Chronovisor has long captured the imagination of conspiracy theorists and enthusiasts of the unexplained. Claimed to be a time-viewing machine invented by Italian priest and scientist Father Pellegrino Ernetti in the 1960s, the Chronovisor supposedly allowed users to witness historical events as they unfolded. Ernetti spoke of witnessing events like Cicero’s speeches and Christ’s crucifixion. However, Vatican officials from where the device was allegedly developed remain silent on its existence. A photo began to spread online in the 2000s of what appeared to be Jesus with John and Joseph of Arimathea. Officially, the photo has been debunked, as people claimed it was a photo of a painting from the 1900s. However, upon taking a closer look, some unusual things began to surface.

For the Weekly Mandela Effect (a.k.a. Bendela Effect), what do you remember about Cheez Whiz? Was it always in a jar, or in a spray can?

Caught on camera: Was this a ghostly person walking, some other strange phenomena, or just some video editing? Join the discussion about what was found.

“Dig Deep” Q&A: “Time feels like it’s speeding up so much. Why can’t I get anything accomplished?” “If you had a Chronovisor, what would you use it for?” “What culture interests you the most that you have the least amount of knowledge about?” “If all times occur simultaneously and can be accessed using advanced tech, are they policed by advanced entities to prevent major disruption to the cosmic order?” “Do you think the Chronovisor uses the Akashic records?” “What was the Great Wall of China built to keep out?”
