Rasputin’s life has remained shrouded in mysteries since his legendary assassination in 1916... His rise to power one of the most strange accounts in modern history. But was he really 'the Devil' as some have said? Was he possessed by some kind of strange otherworldly force, one that helped him ascend to places no other Siberian-born peasant ever dared venture, building up a mythical reputation that continues to thrive to this day...

S2 Ep33: Film Friday: The Dark Side of The Moon (1990)

Over the past several years, rumours and reports have resurfaced of a massive pyramid structure said to be hidden underground in a chamber beneath the ice, snow and rock of the remote Alaska mountains. Towering over 1000 feet high, this alleged enigma remains buried between remote mountain ranges in a vast ice-covered landscape. If this structure does exist, it could quite possibly connect us to an unknown past and perhaps to dimensions beyond our own. Join us on Into The Portal, as we venture into the remote wilds of the Alaskan mountains for a discussion of a mysterious megalith known as The Dark Pyramid.
