The Mountweazel is Myrna the cat. Why? Because it's a dog.
EDIT:
Not only, but the whole part of Myrna the cat has been edited in such a way to believe that Myrna is actually a cat:
Cat on the back of the cover (with glasses) ✓
Cat quote on the back by Trilby A. Cat ✓
White cat on the floor ✓
Another fake quote by Bielefeld Artistic Gazette to ensure you it is indeed a cat ✓
Congrats, you got the Mountweazel... well the main one at least ;)

I live about 20 minutes away from Bielefeld and have been there many times.
I can confirm that it does not exist.
I Live in Bielefeld been here for 30 years now and can 100% confirm the city is not there... :D
Have you met anyone from Wyoming though?
I have family living in Bielefeld and actually delivered a package there using the mail which arrived perfectly. The mail definitely is also in on it, as well as my family!

Plot twist: these paper towns and non-existant streets has been [REDACTED] by SCP Foundation
When I was a kid my friends and I altered the stickers on a street sign in NY to match my last name. They replaced the sign and the new updated sign continued to have the "new" street name on it. Maps ever since have also seemed to reflect this. I've wondered for years what kind of chaos and problems a couple of kids made for people's mail and billing as an adult. There's your general mayhem of people.
🤣😂😂🤣😂
Try genealogy a couple of centuries ago, it gets much more worse. 😕 😲
Well played sir lol
@@spacewater7 "what's yer name?"
Yxjzqwist
"Johnson it is"
You changed history man! What was the name of the street before and after?
I really wish I had seen this video while my father was still alive. As a little Canadian child growing up in Germany, my father often went to Bielefeld for training exercises. The name is as familiar to me as any place name in the areas of Germany where Canadian forts were established as part of the Canadian contingent of British Army on the Rhine establishments. I am certain there are thousands of Canadians who know of the place from their own fathers' service. What a fascinating bit of trivia to learn about the story you tell. I used to have a photo of my father's car, or rather what was left of it, following a wreck on his way home from Bielefeld (iirc). The story I recall was that my father was removed from the wreck and thought to be deceased. Someone noticed a twitch in one of his fingers and he was rushed to a hospital. Since I do know the town and its name, I guess I am in on the conspiracy! What a fun realization - thank you for sharing this!
They've got to you too
Sounds like your dad knew too much
Maybe it was not an accident ?
Me: Living in Bielefeld

watching this with my Coffeys over here in California , wanted to thank you for all your work, I enjoy it very much, but this one especially, it hit me at the epiphany level, the concept of the strategy just sank in 100% , I do believe you not only just taught me something I didn't know, as usual, : ) but also something I will be using the rest of my life ! thank you so much !!
I came across a copywrite trap on a map once, though it wasn't a fictitious town. While studying the terrain around Holbrook, Arizona in the Arizona Atlas and Gazetteer, published by DeLorme, I saw a very small, about 3mm wide, cartoon of a frog. I kept looking at it to discern if it was somehow a land feature. I finally got out a magnifying glass and confirmed it was a frog. I found a regional phone number for DeLorme and gave them a call to report what I found and to suggest they had made a mistake. After a bit of a go-round, I was finally patched to someone who could address my concerns. He confirmed that the frog was a "mark of authenticity" or something like that and congratulated me for finding it. Thanks for the video. Now I know why it was put there.
At first when you said you found a copyright trap in the area around Holbrook I assumed you were about to say that Woodruff, AZ doesn’t exist.
I used to work for Geographic Data Technology. Their data was in Google Maps, delivery companies, in-car nav, etc. We still used ghost streets then and we also needed at least 2 sources to add a street to our maps.
@@deViant14 lots of those funky streets in some areas that either have not existed for many years, or never existed. I moved to an area where even Garmin and Google Maps have mislabeled streets, and roads that are not even game trails anymore.
That's awesome. I like stories with happy endings..

*"Esquivalience", origin from Latin: "bovem excrementum"*
I love it.
It will become part of the English very soon, esquivalience , I've got remember that

Cow shit? 🤣
It should be *bovis* excrementum.
A minor contradiction I noticed.
Paraphrasing:
"Our ancestors were often laughably bad at making accurate maps." - Arron
"The sheer rate of change modern cartographers have to deal with means maps are out of date as soon as they're printed." - Arron
If weeks could make a map inaccurate, how much would a millennia change things?
I worked in bielefeld in 1970/1971 in a car scrapyard. Being from england ( an extremely hilly country) the thing that struck me most about this scrapyard was that it was out in the wilds and in every direction you looked the land was as flat as a pancake, no hills or mountains in the background. No roads or buildings to be seen anywhere except the small backroad we had travelled on to get there. There was a town somewhere in the distance where I was staying, but nowhere near enough to be seen from the scrapyard. That town was called bielefeld. And it was a lovely, quite quaint little place. Thanks for jogging my memory.
*Thoughty2's Mustache Doesn't Exist:*

Great content, and the edit quality is fantastic as always. I don't know how many times I find a video of interest that has poor audio quality. Ty again!
Some places are forced to be removed from maps by governments. There is even this one place I have found while exploring near my hometown that just shows empty on maps and even in satelitepictures even though there is stuff there and has been for a long time. Many people in my hometown have heard of the place but only a few have been there, because it is hard to find if you don't know where you are going and it is not the easiest place to get to either. There is a good reason why it doesn't exist on maps though.
"to put it mildly, a bit shit" Love that British accent.
Yeh that's such a British expression, I use it myself lol

"lets open a general store in the middle of nowhere and close it after the court case is over" totally not fishy at all.

Nerded out this entire video b/c as soon as you mentioned Agloi all I could think of was Paper Towns and I LOVE that it was brought up!!!

Plot twist: these paper towns and non-existant streets has been *[REDACTED]* by SCP Foundation
They have been classified as SAFE, although upon touching anything in the area, it consumes ones [person] with a trace of nothing but clothing. With MTF operating under the Golden Eye League, all transmissions were lost once group Captain approached a solid mass of gold, and proceeded to touch it. STF was sent in to observe and find, only the gear the MTF had on. They found a recording showing the captain touching the gold, and the ground giving way to a yellowish goo, until the footage cut out.
Once sent to intel, the Foundation decided to secure the phenomenon in a concealed shield. All physical evidence has been hidden.
Well, that's odd, because I'd read *[SOMEWHERE]* that *[REDACTED]* actually brought all the paper townages into existence, or was that *[REDACTED]?*
It's easy to get them confused.

C'mon, everyone knows that mountains are the result of reticulating splines in a correct fashion!
As an aside, older maps can be very interesting. I own a vintage map that actually includes the "here there be monsters" warning and accompanying illustrations... and the "known world" according to this map is far from complete and accurate. It's fascinating and beautiful (the craftsmanship and artistry are wonderful).
Just found your channel..and can't stop watching and learning all these wierd and wonderful things..
You remind me of my history teacher in high school. Our class used to be a nightmare for any teacher, except for him....
When all the teachers were telling about the class's bad behaviour during a meeting, he was flabbergasted and told them he never experienced any of it! This was because his story telling was keeping the whole class quiet and interested.
Your story telling has the same fascinating and calming effect as his.
I hope you'll keep fascinating us with your beautiful content for many years to come! Thank you

Found a second copyright trap. The mapmaking organization is Germany that you reference did not produce such a map since there is no actual organization with that name. According to its website, it is actually called the Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy (BKG), not the Federal Office for Geography and Surveying. Oh and that map most definitely did not contain s blank puzzle piece. They just omitted the city,

When I was taking my course in graphic design, my Instructor told was to create intentional flaws that were very small and hard to recognize in our designs, or write a name somewhere in the design in case someone tried passing off our work as their own.
Fascinating. Other industries have similar tricks. I've learned that many online retailers have invisible marks on the items they sell, to prevent return scams. In the marketing world, client and prospect lists are "salted" with misleading data to prevent list abuse. Society has a lot of easter eggs for anyone curious enough to look.
Who else went straight to the comment section to see if anyone found out what his copyright trap is.
I'm doing research, like a good Thoughty fan would.
Might be that he said: "Austalian scientists" then shows a New Zealand flag at 6:33
I am pretty sure the map released by the "Federal office for geography and surveilling" with Bielefeld missing is his mountweazel. Because that office doesn't exist.
@philipp what was the time stamp on that?
@@1anon 13:10 He even laughs for no reason when he says the sentence. I am from Germany and I don't know if he just translated something poorly or he made it up, but "Geography and X" does not exist and "Surveilling" would absolutely not be the 2nd part of that office.
We have a "Federal office for Cartography and Geodesy" and several "Geography departments" at some Universities, but none of them has anything to do with surveillance, in fact we don't have a single office that carries that name.

Sandy Island could’ve existed but was worn away. Look at where the old Port Royal existed. Most of what was that area has been eroded, submerged, and buried in the sand.
It was made of sand after all. Also many islands could well have sunk including friesland.
The thing that's ridiculous is that a google employee had to go and look at the satellite image of an empty ocean and then manually label the island as being there.
@@CallMeMrChainmail coulda been an underwater sandbar, if the ocean visibility was high enough you can see a sandbar that's 30 meters underwater, so it would look like an island, but not actually be one

In the '90s there was an airline map (perhaps Lufthansa) on the wall where I worked that showed Morrell Island to the west of Hawaii, an island that has never existed since it was "discovered" by Captain Morrell in 1825. Surprisingly the International Dateline diverted around Morrell Island to include it in Hawaii's time zone until 1910.
I used the phrase 'hic sunt draconus' in one of my novels as a chapter heading, despite my Latin being pretty bad. It was how I found out about the ostrich egg globe a few years ago. Fascinating stuff. I loved the references to komodo dragons. Bear in mind, however, all cartographers were likely rich noblemen who were drunk or very stoned as they were on their world tour. They loved a lot of drugs. Crowley is a good example of people from those times, despite him being slightly later in the timeline. Wicked, he was, and an asshole, too, but his file appears to be missing from British secret service. Either he did some truly heinous things, or he did them specifically for the crown. In which case, I imagine Elizabeth II didn't want the world knowing what her father might have ordered him to do.
But bovem excrementum was a little on the nose (well, hopefully not).

~11:00 - As a former delivery driver there aren't too many streets in the city of Toronto that I don't know - or rather didn't 25 years ago, but still .. there were some, and so I had a Perly's Guide (map book) at hand. For reasons long forgotten I noticed one day that Old Weston Road on the map still connected to Dundas St. W., but familiar with the area, knew well that the bridge that once connected them had been gone for decades .. indeed there was a mature Birch growing right through the center marking line of what was once the bridge ramp. Coincidentally, a decade later I actually found myself having a drink with a lass who was actually the granddaughter of the original Perly and mentioned this - and thus learned of the existence of "paper streets".
Thoroughly fascinating video, as always. I love cartography and encyclopedias. And sneaky 'watermarkings'/Mountweazels are brilliant. I learned a lot and was enrapt. But I got to the end and you dropped that bomb. My reaction: "You motherf--r!" And then I laughed out loud. Brilliant.
0:36 I’m surprised I haven’t seen any comments saying it was the Vikings who discovered America first
Because they really didn't. They stopped off, chopped down a few trees, and went home. It's like saying "I almost invested in Google when it was a dollar."
Native Americans...
Find the Mayan meaning of the term "America" or "Ameriça", and you will learn much of whom truly rules those who believe they rule; (with good reason), yet are deceived.
@@malachisguides They really did, they just decided not to stay there. Christoffer Columbus REdiscovered America, but he didn’t originally discover it.
@@wavequeene yea he arrived and was like, “I want to cut some hands off!” 😂
The man who put agloe in a map: IM A GENIUS
Agloe general store department owner: I'm gonna end this man whole career
Guaranteed Rand McNally was behind it. No one opens a store in the middle of absolutely nowhere.
@@psybin It's certainly possible that you're right but on the other hand, I have seen stores in the middle of nowhere like that. Just as an example, imagine that there's a state highway that leads from the interstate to a seasonally popular fishing and boating spot on a lake. It's about a two hour drive from the interstate to the lake. There's a gamble, that some people will take, in putting a store about halfway in between them.
Plot twist, the cartographer's grandson created a map computer program linked to GPS that was bought by Google.
@@ColonelSandersLite you're too nice. It was a dastardly plot to swindle an honest cartographer imhbwiobodooohn
(In my humble but well informed opinion based on decades of observation of human nature)
You’re the best Thoughty2 !!
I grew up on a street called Bielefeld and had variations on that name. Various GPS and map services spelled the name differently as a copyright trap, making it hard for us to use satnav systems to get home for years
Maybe that adventurer slipped into an alternate reality and really did see the Mountains of Kong? 👍🏻🤔
Tf😂
Sounds reasonable!
Yes!!! Thats exactly what i was thinking 🤣
@@imithos2373 I guess I should clarify: it's sarcasm.
@@silverbanshee7519 But imagine if it was real tho
Hey Thoughty2 i just wanted to let you know I'm a New Zealander and when you said Australian scientists you showed the New Zealand flag waving in the wind. New Zealand's flag has 4 red stars and Australia's flag 5 white stars. I love your videos they are informing and educational
A case of Aussie wannabe??? ;)
i was thinking the same thing haha
You've fallen for another trap. Australia doesn't actually exist, and neither does its flag.
Australia is a particularly elaborate hoax, however. A very large set was created and tens of thousands of actors hired to make it appear to visitors as if it is real.
They did a great job too - I've been to the set several times, and it would have been believable if they hadn't gotten carried away with the fake animals.
Rewatch last 30 seconds. Probably that
A moment set in motion billions of years ago, that by chance of a billion interactions, led to the moment that we here learned the difference between the two countries' flags..
I love this video - it's very funny for me. Thanks.
Thoughty mate you are the man thank you for your short informative videos that help us expand our general knowledge of the world around is

@@avhinavmainali4422 that's the one I got..
Fourth Title: Why Can Nobody Find These Mountains
It's nice to see my country Bhutan in Thoughty 2's video even if it's just about a mountain. The fact that Gangkar Phuensum's reign as the tallest unclimed mountain is due to its uncertain location on the map is quite bizzare as a Bhutanese which I am quite sure majority has no clue about. Anyways it's an eye opener for us. Thanks man 🙌
Wait isn't it unclimbed because climbing was banned in bhutan ig?
Edit: changed Tibet to bhutan lol brain fart
Yes, I have been to Bielefeld. Grew up in the area. Never heard of the controversy
“So I can sue the ever-living shit out of them”
-me at all times.
What a great video Arran! Your storytelling is amazing! Keep making more!
Did you get to see the video earlier than the rest of the non members ?
I remember high alpine hiking in the Alps for 6 days taking my fathers maps with me . Everything went fine until I was supposed to traverse a glacier . Turns out the map was 20 years old and the glacier dramatically has melted and was impossible to traverse on the original path without ice picks and lots of luck . So I had to find another way and found a marker further up the trail to traverse . Got delayed about 2 hours and made it just in time to the shelter before sun set . Moral of the story : dont take old maps with you ever
8:35 mans is having a spliff while looking paranoid af😂🚀
New Piddleberg is an actual town in New York that doesn't appear on any maps. It's about halfway between Schenectady and Poughkeepsie.
