After staying at the foot of Cang'er Snow Mountain for a few days, Chen Yang and his group left. Dong Yujue went back with them, while Xia Yue stayed behind for the time being. She developed several kinds of vegetarian pastries, which pleased Master Chanshan very much.
As they began their journey back to camp, their documentary, "The World You Don't Know," also started to gain popularity.
There are many videos online that resemble wilderness survival and primitive techniques. Bear Grylls, Ed Stafford, and the Australian guy are among the best, and many people try to imitate them, so it's not too surprising.
However, almost none of them become famous in the country because they lack distinctive characteristics.
This documentary is full of Chinese elements; it has so many unique features.
The buildings constructed with mortise and tenon joints, the uniquely Chinese oil pressing workshops and machines, the Chinese papermaking industry, the Chinese cooking methods—any Chinese person can recognize these things.
Moreover, the items in the documentary were all made by themselves, and while the documentary showed the production process of some of the products, no trace of modern tools was seen in the others.
Everyone here is so unique.
The guy who starts the fire is more skilled at it than they are at masturbating.
The woman hunting was an exceptional archer, agile, and possessed an ethereal quality.
The blacksmith's hammer blows were so cool, his muscles were amazing!
And when pressing oil, the scene of several people pushing out the oil hammer together and the oil seeping out of the oil cake is simply even more exciting.
There were even bears! This group of people actually kept bears. If it weren't for the fact that those shirtless men didn't have much hair, they would have suspected they were Russians from the north.
Most importantly, where the hell is this?
Snow-capped mountains, lakes, mountain ranges, an island in the middle of the lake, a salt lake as beautiful as Chaka Salt Lake, waterfalls, and various animals.
I've never seen a snow-capped mountain like this before.
So where exactly is that salt lake?
Is this in China? Europe? America?
Everything in this video is so beautiful: the picturesque lake, the rolling mountains, the magnificent snow-capped peaks, and the island in the middle of the lake, which is like the finishing touch.
This truly is the legendary utopia.
Many travel enthusiasts have started trying to match the worlds depicted in documentaries with the places they have visited.
First, the presence of snow-capped mountains eliminates many possibilities. Then, by examining the shape of the snow-capped mountains and matching it to the surrounding environment, the answer should become clear.
And the result? Nothing came of it!
There is no corresponding snow-capped mountain at all.
Each snow-capped mountain has a significantly different shape, making it easy to spot the differences.
"Perhaps it's the angle; only eight peaks were captured in the photo," someone suggested.
Because many snow-capped mountains are tourist attractions, visitors can usually only see one or two sides of them.
“I can confirm that this is definitely not China,” someone said.
There are only so many snow-capped mountains in China, most of which are concentrated in the plateau region of the southwest, but the climate conditions in the video are completely inconsistent.
"This video is definitely fake. The plants in the forest behind the house are all subtropical plants, and there are no snow-capped mountains in the subtropics that meet the criteria."
"Your knowledge is insufficient. I work in film special effects. This is definitely a scene without any special effects processing, although a filter has been added."
"Wow, you're very knowledgeable. Tell me, where is this place?"
"I'm a filmmaker, not a geographer, you idiot."
"Then shut up. I'm a geography teacher."
"I'll just keep babbling, anyway, this wasn't made by a computer."
There are too many arguments like this online.
There are always keyboard warriors who want to show off their "profound knowledge," and there are always people who refute them.
Especially on bullet screen websites, people started cursing directly.
Some marketing accounts on Weibo also wanted to ride the wave of popularity, reposting various posts. Some even simply used the name of a country to retweet them.
"The stunning primitive tribes of Finland—this is the life I've always longed for."
This is a marketing account's name.
"Do you think I haven't studied? Finns can cook, and Finns know the oil-pressing techniques from our ancestors."
"The blogger is brain-dead, diagnosis complete."
"Wow, Finland is so beautiful! This is a true paradise on earth. As for China, well, hehe."
"The person upstairs is a troll and an idiot, case closed."
…………
At first, this only attracted the attention of a few people, but as the attention increased and more people joined in, more and more people learned about the documentary "The World You Don't Know".
Sometimes, even documentaries can generate buzz simply by capturing people's interest, such as the documentary series "A Bite of China".
As the discussion spread, more and more professionals joined in. Not just geography teachers, but real geographers too.
However, even under these circumstances, there is still no definitive conclusion as to where the place in the video is.
"This is just editing; there's no way there could be a salt lake under these abnormal climate conditions."
“I agree, but the snow-capped mountains and forests are in the same frame, and the climate doesn’t seem right.”
"Moreover, the vegetation distribution on the island in the middle of the lake is also very strange."
“Building a camp in a place like this is impossible to hide. It’s a habitable place, and there are definitely people nearby. If we share this with more people, the truth will come out.”
More and more people are sharing it; some like the video itself, some are jumping on the bandwagon, and some are asking for the link.
The documentary is gaining popularity, and more and more people are becoming aware of it.
The search rate for the keywords "the world you don't know" is increasing.
What truly made this documentary a hit was a repost by a prominent social media influencer.
"Please tell me, where is this 'world you don't know'? I really want to go there, it's so beautiful."
This is an internet celebrity, the kind with tens of millions of followers.
Sometimes, the influence of online celebrities is terrifying.
Her Weibo post was forwarded more than 30,000 times.
Don't be fooled by the mere 30,000+ views; the total number of views across the internet is definitely in the tens of millions.
Moreover, even though this video has become so popular, no one has yet found a place that perfectly matches the criteria.
This is quite shocking.
As a result, the video has gained increasing attention, and within just one day, it has received over 100 million views across the internet.
The number of views is already alarming, therefore, this video has attracted attention.
To this day, no one has found out where this place is.
There's something strange about the video.
Many professionals have even analyzed this and published reports on it.
Most reports still lean towards the view that the video contains some special effects, especially the snow-capped mountains.
The conditions for the formation of snow-capped mountains are extremely demanding, and the snow-capped mountain in this video does not correspond to any snow-capped mountain on Earth.
Because the Earth is only so big, it's impossible for a snow-capped mountain that has never been seen before to suddenly appear. This isn't like the Bermuda Triangle; as long as it exists on Earth, it can definitely be seen.
Another theory suggests that this is actually another world, as the title itself is "The World You Don't Know".
Of course, this claim is unfounded and is nothing but nonsense.
An official, influential account reposted this video with the title "The World You Really Don't Know".
