What’s the Vatican Hiding in Its Secret Archives? Aliens, Proof of Jesus, Satanic Bible?

What’s really in the secret Vatican archives? We know there are over 52 miles of shelves with miles upon miles of books, over 35,000 volumes of catalogs, and at least 12 centuries worth of documents. But what else is secretly hidden deep within the walls of Vatican City? There are whispers of everything from pieces of UFO spacecraft and evidence of aliens to a portrait of Jesus that was painted when he was alive to documentation of Jesus’ missing years. Some say the Vatican knows the truth about the Holy Grail, the whereabouts of the lost Ark of the Covenant, the “Grand Grimoire” or Devil’s Bible—and even information about Satan himself.

Last week, Edge of Wonder talked about the Vatican’s alleged secret time machine, the Chronovisor, which reportedly saw Jesus. In this episode, Ben Chasteen and Rob Counts dive even deeper.

Q&A: “Would the Vatican have hidden information about cryptids like griffins?” “What do you think would affect the public the most if that secret from the library were disclosed?” “If the Vatican has 52 miles of shelves, how many miles exist in the USA? What are they hoarding?” “If you had access to the Vatican archives, what would you hope to find?” “Why is Vatican City shaped like a key?” “If you could sneak into the Vatican archives, would you want to use an invisibility cloak, teleport into it, or another way?” “Which was bigger, the Vatican archives or the Library of Alexandria?” “Where did you get the info to draw the aliens for the Ultimate Alien Races Guide?”
