9:55 - To those who were wondering, as I was, what an "amputation by avulsion" means... It means that both of his legs and one of his wings were ripped the fuck off.
Some context: the genetic marker is probably the Cohanim Jewish priestly class. Kahn is a common last name they have. In olden days, on Yom Kippur, the holiday when we ask forgiveness for our sins and transgressions against others, the first priest would enter the inner sanctum of the temple and speak God's name in his prayers. If his meditation wavered, he would die in there. The other priests put a chain around his ankle to fish him out in case he died. No one else could come inside, for the holiness would burn you. That probably explains the immunity. It also probably means that the veil will open once again in a year now that the ritual was properly performed. Melachim means angels or messengers. I dont know what the prpcedure would be.
It's a depressing thought, isn't it? The idea of a god who hides himself, simply because his beloved could never comprehend his suffering. Because after seeing him in such a terrible state, you couldn't even bring yourself to worship him anymore. You could only mourn.
Ark of the covenant in judeo_christian literature. (Jesus suffered and was placed behind a stone in a cave after he was crucified in a decreped state. when he died the veil at the temple was torn; the vale that kept the ark of the covenant from view and would only be allowed for the highest preist to enter once a year to see the glory of G_d on the throne of the ark. )So very religious themed i,d say
@@genevieve396But how do you help something that is so far beyond you? What makes you think you could ease the infinite suffering of an eternal being?
@@jtf5223 yeah like Justin said sometimes he gets other talented people like Lumi to do a certain character but unless they're credited in the description it's all Volgun lol
Ok so, i saw a lot of confused people on this one, so i'll say what i understood and if i get anything wrong please correct me Somewhere around syria there is a complex of 3 rooms, in the third is a raised platform surrounded by a metal cylinder, 3 times a day it lifts releasing a lot of radiations, to "contain" it a ritual must be performed wich gives radiation resistance to performers and lowers the cylinder, the ritual was kind of reversed engineered by the foundation and they are constantly adjusting it, the ritual must also be performed only by people that meet a list of criteria, similar to the ritual itself the foundation doesen't know exactly what all these criteria are Before the foundation arrived it's presumed the ritual was carried on by the weird humanoid (man modified by the ritual?) that died briefly after containment There are 2 groups in the foundatuon that contain this scp, team B actually performes the ritual, team A handles the logistics Team b are unwilling to reveal what is behind the cylinder, 05s proceed to make a performer look under the cylinder directly and when interviewed (nearly dead from the experienxe) describes an injured figure that presumably betrayed his kind to help humanity also the function of the ritual is to protect him (from his people?)lowering the veil In the interview it's also said that the entity wants the director to join him "back home" when he does, after performing (alone?) a revised ritual the veil stops lifting 3 times a day and the foundation is now ready to perfom a not specified protocol once/if it lifts again The foundation also claims that the ritual is a cognitohazard and people that witness it become affected by some religious mania, it's no clear tho if this is true or if the "mania" is just a logical result of understanding whats under the veil (or maybe is a little bit of both) Also failure to contain this anomaly is a prerequisite for a whole bunch on k-class scenarios (This obviously is a very streamlined version of the story and ignores a lot of themes, mostly the religious references, and characters, also english is not my first language, have pity on me)
Good summery. And I think it is a little bit of both mania and logical reason. That is to say the ritual to accept the responsibility of the ritual invokes a mania that makes one more capable to at doing the ritual. Sort of numbing the affected to the horror of what they must do to themselves to do what is right. No one of sound mind could carry it out to the very end like that otherwise. I guess you can say it is a kindness to those whom have to perform the ritual to allow them the means to keep doing it. But until the question is raised by doing the ritual the effect will not be administered. It implies the imprisoned entity is not the danger but the kin to that entity that feel that entity overstepped its bounds.
Excellent summary. Spared me much of the time I would've spent continuing to scour for the details on 228-Melecah. (Which seems to be some sort of "screw it, destroy everything inside" measure, but we just don't know).
One of your videos a while ago had a segment at the end you called ‘Extra Credit’, which was an out-of-character explanation of what just happened for the more obscure SCPs. Maybe it’s still too early in the morning for me (it’s 5:30am in Australia), but I need the Extra Credit on this one.
He's almost done no extra credit for any of his videos after he started either he hasn't got a video that might need explanation or he doesn't like the concept anymore.
I don't know exactly but I seem to recall him trying it out but the extra time spent on that wasn't reflected in watch metrics and in balance he's had to chop and change the formula to yield to The Algorithm. Much like all content creators, it's a balancing act. Actually, is service to The Algorithm an scp of its own? Is content creation containment? Who's to say
Hey doc, I uh had to escort 049 earlier and now 049 is saying I would make a good "cuddle buddy", am I in danger doc? I didn't sign up to be some big spoon for scps.
I just had a fascinating yet funny thought. It's always so interesting to me, that when the foundation finds an anomaly they can't move, (usually location based) then they'll just casually set a foundation site right there just to contain it. It becomes hilarious when i lmagine the foundation literally building an establishment. Like you know how restaurants and gas stations are often stationed nearly next to each other? I like the think the foundation finds an immobile anomaly, constructs a building to trap it in shortly after, then finds another immobile yet completely unrelated anomaly just around the corner. Say "Welp, time to put another building up". Lmao
And then there are SCPs like the indefinite starecase, and the indefinite hallway which for some reason are within walking distance in the SCP containment breach game.
I dont really understand what this SCP is about. But the writing is superb. The monologue about how and why his father was shaped into such a hard man, and him having only met his father after these events that had shaped the man already happend.. That hit me on a very very per person
Well unless you have messed up very badly (Like rounding up all viable uranium/plutonium and then exploding another nuclear bomb next to it), it’s basically impossible to cause any form of nuclear explosion or nuclear disaster by bombing an enrichment site or power plant.
I like how the Foundation have chalked up the religious experiences of the different involved parties as 'mania' and memetic effects. It shows the limitations in their worldview, as cold and clinical as it is.
This is one of my favorite SCPs. It takes a traditional Judeo-Christian concept and strips it down to the "Science" behind it. I believe in the SCP verse Yahweh is like Yaldabaoth and Mekhane but gave humanity the tools to defend itself.
I kinda have that impression of this SCP too. That the idea is to buy time so humanity can learn to take care of itself despite the animosity of the rest of creation.
If that's the case, then it could be theorized that the YHWH of the SCP universe could be a god of human evolution such as Mekhane and Yaldabaoth. But seems to want to evolve humans within the form we have now, instead of some possible mechanical form or some beastly flesh amalgam.
It's jesus christ, injured from his crusifixion, spilling forth his celestial radiance which is radioactive, attended by an angel performing a ritual to mask his location from his god. Pretty obvious.
@@Zectifin Well let's give you some context then: Haplotype cmh-6, also refered to as the "Y-chromosomal aaron", is the hypothesized patrilineal line to the most common recent ancestor of the jewish priestly cast. Who, according to the bible, was Aaron, the brother of moses. This leads me to suspect that the figure behind the veil is moses. Moses, according to the bible, died all alone in the wilderness upon reaching the promised land but before ever setting foot into it and he then was buried by god himself. The bible also insists that no one knows where god buried moses. So yeah, this site is probably the burial site of moses.
the humanoid that they found on the outside and dissected has all the earmarks of either an angel, or a fallen-angel either way, it's a being that has to be divine in a way and for some reason the ritual it was doing also contributed to it's malnutrition. I guess even Angels needed to eat something but when it's too busy making sure the veil stays put it doesn't have time?
No, it's implied that the malnutrition happened because it was contained by the foundation, and since the foundation only offered human food, it died. In other words, if the humanoid was never contained and foundation let it stay in SCP-1348, it'll stay alive and do the procedure for a long time.

I’m having a hard time working out exactly wtf is going on with this SCP… I dunno if it’s just me or if it’s all the redactions, or even if it’s just the document itself being obscure and vague, but I just…well, I don’t understand it, I guess.
@@antarcticmoongiant2691 it sure feels that way, or at least how I’d imagine such a thing to feel. Idk if you’ve ever been struggling your way through a maths exam, and end up getting all hung up on a particular problem you can’t solve because you either simply don’t comprehend the concept of how to solve it, or perhaps skipped doing the homework that would’ve otherwise taught you said concept? It feels like that.
@@kadoji remember listening to a reading of this SCP a few months ago, it was done by a russian channel and I barely understood it too, i think i was also like half asleep maybe? Don't really remember, but this article did peek my interest since i picked up the implication that this was some giant reference to Semitic religions, after some time i decided to check out what people said on the discussion page on the wiki, there were also a lot of confused people but some did pick up some references that i had absolutely no clue about, many even formulated their own theories and conclusions which helped me realise what some of the stuff in the article actually meant, though people still were somewhat conflicted on certain aspects of the article. On that discussion page the author gave a bunch of hints and the like, in general being pretty vague and coy, but he did provide a link to a full explanation of the article on page 3 in the discussion. I think it will be better if you read the explanation provided by the author but one thing I will say is that this article is heavily related to SCP-1427 (Extinguishing stele).
@@АнастасВиноградовthank you for letting us know, I'll have to look up the explanation and the other SCP. I understood a decent bit of this one but would love to read what the author has to say.
I gotta point out that Yom Kippur is today (at time of writing and day of video’s release) according to the Jewish calendar. It is the Day of Atonement in Judaism, and is a Big Damn Deal. Considering @TheVolgun ‘s timing on the release of this one it is an interesting coincidence.
@@TheVolgun your timing was impeccable! The themes of utter holiness, reconciliation, accountability, even down to the uttering of the name of the abrahamic god. The writer knew their stuff, and reworked it wonderfully.
OK, so this might just be me but with mention, badly hurt father, on a throne and psychic influence is anyone else getting a strong god emperor of man from Warhammer 40 K vibe?
I would love to say that this was an awesome Article, but while it's got great potential, it's quite a confusing mess (and I am not saying this because of the presence of scientific terminology; that's always appreciated when used properly). It could really use a rewrite to untangle the narrative and especially make the containment procedures clearer. It's not complicated, but the way it's written, it's unnecessarily confusing, ultimately distracting from the meat of the Article, which itself is made confusing in an attempt at playing mysterious. I still like this SCP, but when it needs an explanation, it's because it has failed its purpose. An SCP Entry is supposed to explain a phenomenon to those who are reading it.
Felt the same way. I couldn’t keep up at all with what was happening, mentions of like, electron flow? The only bits that stuck with me were the logs at the end, I at least like the theming there.
@@XSpamDragonXTheres definitely a lot about this article that many people won't get unless they have some familiarity with Judaism and Abraham religions. Now with that knowledge to draw on its a pretty cool SCP.
I'd say it realistically hits the nail on the head. It is confusingly technical on the scientific level and on the theological level because it is two perspectives trying to understand something that can't be known. This confusion is represented in the article.
I have been struck by the graceful and nimble beauty of the language used in this SCP entry which shocks by its' contrast of quality. This is something I feared was altogether lost after the coups and purges.
Look up the author, Ophite’s personnel file on the wiki for an explanation of all the obscure mythology and cultural references in this skip. It’s a fascinating article that takes a bit of extra work to even begin to understand, but it’s so worth it
Ok, so from other comments (& the SCP DeClassified Reddit), it seems like the entity inside is the Abrahamic God, the chamber it’s contained in is the Holy of Holies, the celebrants are Jewish priests, the deceased entity is a biblical angel, and the entities outside the circle are fellow gods trying to kill/eat the contained god. But what’s the meaning of “your uncle” ? I would assume it has some religious/jewish-cultural significance, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard of God being somebody’s uncle, only their father/Father. 🤔
I feel like I have a decent understanding of this SCP but are there any other videos with more backstory or relevance the subject? I'd certainly appreciate being able to watch them ❤
Hi Volgun i listen to your videos every night to sleep and i notice the 106 video isn't in the playlist with the rest of the scp entries. Its one of my favorites youve done but i almost never get to relisten since i listen to the playlist in bed.
Back to working on my SCP story. Why did I stop? .....Oh right my anxiety meds failed and I went nuts for three months. But I'm dedicated to my projects, and Ruth is laughing at the question of why these people lost their faith. "How do you keep yours? After all we've seen?"
Interesting file, as much as people dislike introducing real world history as basis for fiction- I guite like it, the main rule is to keep grace and not turn your fiction into propaganda. I am tho quite interested where and how did you acquired the pictures for the video (I trust your quality, but I have my doubts about the origins of the piictures put on the monitor)
Sounds like research is conducted in the belly room or was at one time that. location truly needs more investigation into anomalous activity and as well as paranormal
So how many rituals does it take to get to the center of the room. For Dr Kahn…just one. Though I have to ask. What is this god? Why is he trapped in there? Why do we need to protect him from the world? So many questions. But most importantly what happened to Dr Kahn?
The only conclusion I can come to is that this 'being' is the catalyst for all major world religions. He's the "jesus christ" figure who made some great sacrifice a very long time ago, in order to ensure the continuation of the human race. A race which was never supposed to exist. And for that reason this being is hunted and hated by its own 'race' of incredibly powerful beings. The location of the 'tomb' or 'ritual site' being in or near the holy land, the fact that it's being tended to by a creature that fits the description of an angel, and age of the temple all point to the thing on the chair being the 'great sacrifice' that all major religions (even pagan religions) mention.
I definitely enjoyed that SCP. But, it's clear that it was initially written in hebrew and was then translated to english with a few mistakes.. For example when letter is being read, the Dr. Writes: "The Name" (השם) - Which is also a word for "God" and was clearly intended to mean that.
"he cannot get up from his chair" its the emperor from 40k
Glad im not the only one who thought this.
lol i posted that same comment and i just scrolled down
Was thinking the same thing my self.
Bro litarally my words
DUDE i was literally about to make this joke and saw this comment!!! 😂
The only truly anonomalous thing about this SCP is that Israel and Syria could agree on anything.

It's a depressing thought, isn't it? The idea of a god who hides himself, simply because his beloved could never comprehend his suffering. Because after seeing him in such a terrible state, you couldn't even bring yourself to worship him anymore. You could only mourn.

Somewhere around syria there is a complex of 3 rooms, in the third is a raised platform surrounded by a metal cylinder, 3 times a day it lifts releasing a lot of radiations, to "contain" it a ritual must be performed wich gives radiation resistance to performers and lowers the cylinder, the ritual was kind of reversed engineered by the foundation and they are constantly adjusting it, the ritual must also be performed only by people that meet a list of criteria, similar to the ritual itself the foundation doesen't know exactly what all these criteria are

The logs in this kinda sound like when you’re taking care of your buddy after he drank too much. Haha!
the angelic creature on the gurney reminds me of that fake angel from the memorable Simpsons episode Lisa the Skeptic.
I see anything with the words Keter I’m watching with a pique interest.
I Love how we have a precise location For this thing
I’m having a hard time working out exactly wtf is going on with this SCP… I dunno if it’s just me or if it’s all the redactions, or even if it’s just the document itself being obscure and vague, but I just…well, I don’t understand it, I guess.
I think they hit you with a amnesiac
@@antarcticmoongiant2691 it sure feels that way, or at least how I’d imagine such a thing to feel. Idk if you’ve ever been struggling your way through a maths exam, and end up getting all hung up on a particular problem you can’t solve because you either simply don’t comprehend the concept of how to solve it, or perhaps skipped doing the homework that would’ve otherwise taught you said concept? It feels like that.
@@kadoji remember listening to a reading of this SCP a few months ago, it was done by a russian channel and I barely understood it too, i think i was also like half asleep maybe? Don't really remember, but this article did peek my interest since i picked up the implication that this was some giant reference to Semitic religions, after some time i decided to check out what people said on the discussion page on the wiki, there were also a lot of confused people but some did pick up some references that i had absolutely no clue about, many even formulated their own theories and conclusions which helped me realise what some of the stuff in the article actually meant, though people still were somewhat conflicted on certain aspects of the article. On that discussion page the author gave a bunch of hints and the like, in general being pretty vague and coy, but he did provide a link to a full explanation of the article on page 3 in the discussion. I think it will be better if you read the explanation provided by the author but one thing I will say is that this article is heavily related to SCP-1427 (Extinguishing stele).
It’s not just you
@@АнастасВиноградовthank you for letting us know, I'll have to look up the explanation and the other SCP. I understood a decent bit of this one but would love to read what the author has to say.
Is this story about The Emperor of Mankind (beloved by all)?! Praise be to him on Terra!
Fitting that an SCP about the holy of holies is premiered on Yom Kippur Eve.
This was cool ,the back and forth conversation really drew me in
wonderful and detailed work as always Mr. TheVolgun. Thank you for doing what you’re doing :)
I gotta point out that Yom Kippur is today (at time of writing and day of video’s release) according to the Jewish calendar. It is the Day of Atonement in Judaism, and is a Big Damn Deal.
Considering @TheVolgun ‘s timing on the release of this one it is an interesting coincidence.
I just learned about Yom Kippur today - very bizarre coincidence indeed!
@@TheVolgun your timing was impeccable! The themes of utter holiness, reconciliation, accountability, even down to the uttering of the name of the abrahamic god. The writer knew their stuff, and reworked it wonderfully.
@@TheVolguninspired, perhaps? We know more than we realize.
The closing audio log was beautiful.
Special thanks to Volgun for making my Sunday evenings terrifying and calming at the same time.
I assume the Foundation tells itself “All for the best” pretty frequently.
Tak!
OK, so this might just be me but with mention, badly hurt father, on a throne and psychic influence is anyone else getting a strong god emperor of man from Warhammer 40 K vibe?
Onlz because the concept of The Emperor strongly draws from the same mysticism as this SCP
I would love to say that this was an awesome Article, but while it's got great potential, it's quite a confusing mess (and I am not saying this because of the presence of scientific terminology; that's always appreciated when used properly). It could really use a rewrite to untangle the narrative and especially make the containment procedures clearer.
It's not complicated, but the way it's written, it's unnecessarily confusing, ultimately distracting from the meat of the Article, which itself is made confusing in an attempt at playing mysterious.
I still like this SCP, but when it needs an explanation, it's because it has failed its purpose. An SCP Entry is supposed to explain a phenomenon to those who are reading it.
Felt the same way. I couldn’t keep up at all with what was happening, mentions of like, electron flow?
The only bits that stuck with me were the logs at the end, I at least like the theming there.
This article was definitely written for a Jewish audience...
@@XSpamDragonXTheres definitely a lot about this article that many people won't get unless they have some familiarity with Judaism and Abraham religions. Now with that knowledge to draw on its a pretty cool SCP.
Some SCPs are meant to be left to interpretation and mystery.
I'd say it realistically hits the nail on the head. It is confusingly technical on the scientific level and on the theological level because it is two perspectives trying to understand something that can't be known. This confusion is represented in the article.
Volgun!!!! It is genuinely upsetting that you haven’t been appearing in my recommended for like 2 months!
Beryllium bronze and Bnei Brak being mentioned in the same article. I never ever thought all see such a thing
0:39 That must've been a bitch to contain and hide in the heights of the Syrian Civil War.
I have been struck by the graceful and nimble beauty of the language used in this SCP entry which shocks by its' contrast of quality. This is something I feared was altogether lost after the coups and purges.
I like how description is easier to skip to in the video now
great timing. love this
Look up the author, Ophite’s personnel file on the wiki for an explanation of all the obscure mythology and cultural references in this skip. It’s a fascinating article that takes a bit of extra work to even begin to understand, but it’s so worth it
Lots of love and thank you!
Skellig is getting ready for examination
Ok, so from other comments (& the SCP DeClassified Reddit), it seems like the entity inside is the Abrahamic God, the chamber it’s contained in is the Holy of Holies, the celebrants are Jewish priests, the deceased entity is a biblical angel, and the entities outside the circle are fellow gods trying to kill/eat the contained god.
But what’s the meaning of “your uncle” ? I would assume it has some religious/jewish-cultural significance, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard of God being somebody’s uncle, only their father/Father. 🤔
Holy shit, this is well written, really love stories using history and religious stories in fiction. Really hope the writer goes professional
I feel like I have a decent understanding of this SCP but are there any other videos with more backstory or relevance the subject? I'd certainly appreciate being able to watch them ❤
Hi Volgun i listen to your videos every night to sleep and i notice the 106 video isn't in the playlist with the rest of the scp entries. Its one of my favorites youve done but i almost never get to relisten since i listen to the playlist in bed.
there are some videos that youtube deleted... he posted something about that...
Finally I have a good poop excuse
Oooo loved this one a lot. I love stories that tie into real world history and religions. 🙌
“So you don’t have to..if you don’t want to..” shook something in me for some reason.
Another awesome reading.
"He's stuck in a chair and is very badly hurt" makes me think of WH40K! lol!
Dude this is deep. ❤
Nice work!
I don't know why, but this one really resonated with me.
I wonder what Protocol 228-Melachah is? Any Hebrew scholars around who can enlighten us all?
I'm not a scholar, but "Melachah" is work, or craftsmanship.
I like this one! I find alot of these go over my head 😂
So, basically, YHWH is depressed and punishing Himself for a mistake? Dark...
Back to working on my SCP story. Why did I stop? .....Oh right my anxiety meds failed and I went nuts for three months. But I'm dedicated to my projects, and Ruth is laughing at the question of why these people lost their faith. "How do you keep yours? After all we've seen?"
Interesting file, as much as people dislike introducing real world history as basis for fiction- I guite like it, the main rule is to keep grace and not turn your fiction into propaganda.
I am tho quite interested where and how did you acquired the pictures for the video (I trust your quality, but I have my doubts about the origins of the piictures put on the monitor)
Sounds like research is conducted in the belly room or was at one time that. location truly needs more investigation into anomalous activity and as well as paranormal
Hells ya perfect timing
6 million rads spill out when the veil is retracted 💀
He is stuck in his chair…. The emperor as an SCP confirmed
So how many rituals does it take to get to the center of the room. For Dr Kahn…just one.
Though I have to ask. What is this god? Why is he trapped in there?
Why do we need to protect him from the world?
So many questions. But most importantly what happened to Dr Kahn?
very good video and the ending is good to
The only conclusion I can come to is that this 'being' is the catalyst for all major world religions. He's the "jesus christ" figure who made some great sacrifice a very long time ago, in order to ensure the continuation of the human race. A race which was never supposed to exist. And for that reason this being is hunted and hated by its own 'race' of incredibly powerful beings. The location of the 'tomb' or 'ritual site' being in or near the holy land, the fact that it's being tended to by a creature that fits the description of an angel, and age of the temple all point to the thing on the chair being the 'great sacrifice' that all major religions (even pagan religions) mention.
Isn’t this the same thing Moses did with the Ark of the Covenant?
Can we bring back Extra Credit here? Because I am lost.
Dr. Ive been here gawsh years for sure, old account and this one like
You Rock
I miss when you do the extra credit, especially on some of the ones like this, unless I'm just missing the obvious point for one reason or another.
I definitely enjoyed that SCP.
But, it's clear that it was initially written in hebrew and was then translated to english with a few mistakes..
For example when letter is being read, the Dr. Writes: "The Name" (השם) -
Which is also a word for "God" and was clearly intended to mean that.
Beautiful post!
