Carla Chung-MattixGUEST
It can be an area like Grand Canyon that really Theodore Roosevelt looked at for its scientific value.
Carla Chung-MattixGUEST
The very first national monument was Devil's Tower National Monument in 1906, and that was preserved because of its really interesting volcanic geologic features.
Carla Chung-MattixGUEST
So many of the first national monuments were established for scientific interests, but many more were also established for historic or archaeological type values.
Christine LambersonHOST
And what are some of the limitations, I guess, on the president from the Antiquities Act? I mean, perhaps another way to ask this question is about the arguments on behalf of the entrepreneurs and business people and miners who of course they want to exploit the area because they want to be making money and in those cases and because they have claims and they don't want to be asked to leave and lose that potential economic value but what are their legal arguments there
Carla Chung-MattixGUEST
So in addition to the area having to have historic and scientific interest values, The statute also says it has to be the area that's compatible, the smallest area compatible to, you know, being able to protect these specific characteristics that a president's trying to protect.
Carla Chung-MattixGUEST
So it does have the smallest area component.
Carla Chung-MattixGUEST
And then, and often people will point to the terms, you know, object of scientific or historic interests and try to, try to argue that an object means a very sort of discrete, specific, smaller item of some sort, maybe a single ruin or something along the size of Devil's Tower, a very smaller area.
Carla Chung-MattixGUEST
But Theodore Roosevelt, and he was the president, he was contemporaneous with the passage of the Antiquities Act.
Joaquin EscobarGUEST
And it's serving kind of the dark timeline war where once you have then the psychic authority to do all of that, the warping of the timeline can then be can serve into the Mandela effect where.
Joaquin EscobarGUEST
As the example would be, then I think a big example would be the giant trees we used to have on this planet that were like something like Devil's Tower or Uluru or these other giant tree locations.
Joaquin EscobarGUEST
Those trees have been destroyed and cut down.
Joaquin EscobarGUEST
You know, something like the pyramids is another great example.

the dining room table.
Elizabeth CraftHOST
The Devil's Tower,
Gretchen RubinHOST
which I think is a real place, actually, by the way.
Gretchen RubinHOST
No, and then her watercoloring it.
Robert W. SullivanGUEST
This was a ghost coming alive.
Robert W. SullivanGUEST
That is intentionally designed to conjure close encounters of the third kind, where you had the devil's tower being circled by all the UFOs.
Robert W. SullivanGUEST
Again, it's a memory trick.
Robert W. SullivanGUEST
It's drawing a parallel to your subconscious mind.
Robert W. SullivanGUEST
By doing that, if you remember in Close Encounters, it was Devil's Tower.
Robert W. SullivanGUEST
So by doing that, what the filmmakers are doing is making Gozer demonic by transferring the energies of the Devil's Tower in Close Encounters to Ghostbusters Afterlife.
Robert W. SullivanGUEST
Very, very clever.
RyeHOST
Wow.
Nicholas CastleGUEST
And for a lot of like explosive eruptions, you end up with that lava being kind of stuck in the neck of the volcano.
Nicholas CastleGUEST
In fact, some of our famous monuments like Devil's Tower are volcanic necks where we remove the rest of the volcano and it's just the solidified lava.
Nicholas CastleGUEST
That giant columnar basalt is, this was basalt that... missed the end of the eruption.
Nicholas CastleGUEST
It just kind of stayed there.
