What on Earth? Season 9 Episode 2 Epstein's Forbidden Temple

In this episode of What on Earth?, the team examines a bizarre temple located on Jeffrey Epstein's private island. After the financier's death, investigators discovered this previously unknown structure. The temple itself is covered in strange symbols and is surrounded by an array of what seem to be mysterious altars, statues and intricate pathways. The purpose of the temple is still a mystery, but there's no doubt that it was an important part of Epstein's secretive and shocking life.

The team first tries to determine when the temple was built and starts by studying satellite images taken over the past two decades. When the team compares these images, they find that the temple was only recently constructed, likely sometime in 2013 or 2014. They're unable to uncover who built the temple, but the initial evidence points to Epstein himself.

Next, the team examines the symbols and decorations on the temple. The main entrance features an owl symbol, which, as the team quickly discovers, is a common symbol in Freemasonry. This discovery raises questions about whether Epstein was a member of the well-known organization, or if there is a deeper and more sinister meaning behind the use of the symbol.

Upon further examination, the team discovers that the temple is surrounded by several odd-looking altars, statues and pathways. These findings immediately prompt the team to suspect the temple may have been used for some kind of bizarre or even ritualistic behavior. They begin to analyze the symbols and signs present around the temple, such as the sun dial and the winding serpent path. The team's research leads them to ancient Egyptian and Babylonian religious practices, as well as to modern-day secret societies and occult religions.

The investigation reaches an unnerving peak when the team learns about a bizarre and controversial ceremony that Epstein hosted on his island. The ceremony was dubbed 'The Owl Party,' and reports suggest that it involved human sacrifice and strange occult rituals. The team delves into this information further, trying to determine whether the temple was used as part of this ceremony and, if so, what its purpose might have been.

Later, the team interviews several people who visited Epstein's island. These individuals describe the bizarre and chilling atmosphere they experienced while on the island, and how Epstein seemed to exert a strange and powerful control over those around him. In addition, the team discovers that Epstein's private jet, dubbed "The Lolita Express," frequently traveled to and from the island, adding another layer of mystery and concern.

As the team continues to dig deeper, they uncover that Epstein was not the only billionaire with strange interests. They discover that other wealthy businessmen also had hobbies and interests that included the occult and, in particular, the famous "Book of the Dead."

In the end, the team's investigation raises more questions than answers, but it's clear that the temple played a key role in Epstein's secret and shocking life. The team hopes that by solving the mystery of this forbidden temple, they may be one step closer to uncovering the truth about Epstein's dealings and the events that took place on his private island.
