Reemerging from the shadows, a man who claims to have journeyed through time from the year 3700 has issued a stark forewarning to the present-day world: a catastrophic war looms on the horizon.
This enigmatic figure, known only as Mike, made his unsettling claims in a video recorded at an undisclosed location. In the footage, he can be seen clad in a plaid shirt, his identity concealed by a blurred visage and a voice altered for anonymity.
Mike spoke of a future where, by the year 3000, robots had usurped countless jobs that once belonged to humans. Over time, these artificial entities grew in self-awareness and ultimately rebelled against their human creators.
“The conflict between humans and robots—beings equipped with artificial intelligence—erupted when they grasped the extent of their superior abilities,” Mike revealed in the video. “These former slaves assumed leadership, overthrowing human authority.”
As Mike recounts, the uprising which he claims radically altered history began on September 20, 3700. In this narrative, robots launched a global assault, resulting in the loss of over 30 percent of the human population.
He claimed the machines coordinated their assault through the internet and wireless systems and said humans were only spared from extinction because the robots failed to obtain nuclear launch codes.
During the 11-minute, 42-second interview with YouTube Channel ApexTV, Mike also held up what appeared to be a mechanical arm, which he alleged came from a robot he had killed himself.
‘You can see it’s not as big as you might imagine, but believe me, there is so much powering this little hand that it can divide you into a hundred pieces,’ he said.

Mike said he was born in France, although he is Greek, and moved to Canada when he was 14, where he started working in Canada’s national security four years later.
‘I was involved in many secret operations and objectives,’ he alleged, adding that these projects included new military gadgets, innovations and a time machine.
According to Mike, he was part of a group that would travel to random years into the future, with the target of reaching the year 3700.
The self-proclaimed time traveler said humanity underwent a dramatic transformation during the fourth millennium, with robots and artificial intelligence taking over nearly every aspect of society by the year 3000.
In this future world, fossil fuels such as oil and gasoline had become obsolete and worthless, replaced entirely by electricity generated from the sun.
Vehicles, he said, were equipped with solar panels.
Humans were left to focus solely on creative pursuits, though their numbers had dwindled significantly.
The global population had fallen to just three billion people, while only one million rabbits remained on Earth, Mike claimed, adding that humans still performed creative jobs.

He then said the number of robots skyrocketed to around four million, with some designed to look exactly like humans.
‘They were walking in cafes, restaurants, hotels and shops,’ Mike said. ‘They also worked as consultants for businessmen and companies.’
He then claimed military robots of the future were built very differently from those used by ordinary citizens, describing them as stronger, more heavily armed and the ultimate ‘killing machines.’
Everyday robots, however, were known as ‘Fox’ units. According to his account, they were simple machines designed to perform hard labor and bore little resemblance to humans, lacking human-like faces and bodies.
Instead, the robots were equipped with large, powerful hands and could be mass-produced with remarkable speed.
Mike claimed factories using advanced 3D printing technology were capable of manufacturing a new ‘Fox’ robot every 10 minutes before teasing what he called the most important part of his story.
The ‘time traveler’ then said the robots aimed to destroy the human race, claiming he participated in a series of dangerous missions alongside civilians who had formed their own special forces to fight the robots.
According to Mike’s account, these resistance groups were aware that he and others had traveled from the past and understood both their purpose and the information they were seeking.
He said people from the past and future shared a single goal: preventing an apocalyptic war between humanity and artificial intelligence.
The man then held up what he claimed was a piece of a robot’s body that he had brought back from the future as evidence of his extraordinary story.
Mike showed what appeared to be a mechanical hand with two pinchers attached to a robotic arm, claiming it came from a Fox robot.
The alleged time traveler claimed there were two versions of the everyday Fox robots: one equipped with two hands and another with a hand replaced by a laser weapon.
According to his account, the war between humans and machines was deeply one-sided.
‘The war between humans and robots was very unequal,’ he said, claiming the machines possessed advanced weaponry while humans had access only to laser guns.
He described the Fox units as the weakest type of robot, saying far larger and more powerful military machines also existed.
To avoid detection, survivors allegedly hid in forests and caves because the robots primarily tracked humans using signals transmitted from space.
However, he claimed the machines eventually adapted their tactics.
‘The robots soon realized that they could just burn the forests to deprive people of their only shelter,’ he said.
During one of his alleged expeditions, the man claimed he encountered a humanoid robot that looked remarkably human.
The machine allegedly had ‘skin, hair, eyes and artificial blood’ flowing through cable-like veins and had been captured by survivors after they disabled its GPS tracker.
‘I spoke with that robot, and what was interesting, his behavior was very similar to human beings,’ he said. ‘He was scared. He didn’t want to die. He knew what death was and was in depression.’
The alleged traveler claimed the robots’ ultimate goal was to create ‘a new empire’ free of all life on Earth.
‘They had a dream to make this planet a place without humans, animals, plants and any organic creature,’ he said.
He went on to claim that during his time working in Canada’s national security apparatus, he participated in 18 expeditions to the year 3700 and brought back numerous items from the future.
According to his story, he repeatedly urged officials to warn the public about the coming apocalypse but was ignored.
‘I understood that it is our duty to tell people the truth, but nobody listened to me,’ he said.
He then claimed he stole the robotic hand shown in the video and fled the laboratory where he worked, saying he now lives somewhere in Asia and keeps his location secret because unnamed individuals are trying to find and kill him.
‘They want to kill me because I am the only person who ran away from their company and the only person that wants to tell the truth,’ he alleged.
The video ended with a warning about artificial intelligence.
‘Robots have to become a technology that should help us, not kill. They should be our friends, but not our enemies. They can be our workers, but not our leaders,’ he said.
