Hey, Vsauce. Michael here. The dog

00:03

that played Toto in The Wizard of Oz was credited

00:07

as Toto, but in reality the dog's name

00:11

was Terry. And when Terry died in 1945

00:15

her owner and trainer Carl Spitz buried her on his ranch

00:19

in Los Angeles. But in 1958

00:23

the Ventura Highway was constructed right

00:27

through Terry's grave. Her remains were

00:30

disturbed and have never been found. Fifty-three years later

00:35

a memorial was erected in Hollywood Forever Cemetery

00:39

in her honor but because she isn't burried

00:42

there, the memorial is not a grave. It's what's known

00:46

as a cenotaph, an empty

00:49

tomb. I was reminded of Toto's

00:52

cenotaph when I saw the cenotaph of Philopappos, atop the Hill of the Muses

00:57

in Athens. You see, I was recently in Greece

01:00

talking about YouTube with YouTube creators. The

01:03

all seen eye of Guy came along and we visited

01:07

the Acropolis, a Lion Gate - nearly a thousand years older than the Acropolis.

01:12

The earliest known analog computer. Plenty of beautiful

01:16

cats and I even took a selfie in

01:20

Delphi. I've seen all of these things and

01:24

how old they were, it made me wonder how will we

01:29

be remembered.

01:31

How will future archaeologists react to the ruins of today's

01:35

society they find thousands of years from now.

01:39

Will they do a good job piecing it

01:42

together? Will anything about you in particular

01:46

be remembered? And, for that matter,

01:50

how do we even know that the past really happened?

01:54

Not just the way we think it happened, but it all.

02:00

Seriously, can you prove that the universe wasn't created

02:05

last Thursday? That everything - every person, every memory you have,

02:09

every photo you've taken didn't just pop in into existence

02:14

last week or five minutes ago?

02:17

Last Thursdayism is the belief that the universe was created

02:21

last Thursday. It doesn't have actual

02:25

followers or rituals but proving it wrong
