A man who claims to be a time traveller who has visited the year 3700 has warned of a terrible and destructive war between humans and robots.

Mike the time traveller even brought back part of a robot that he said he had killed with his bare hands as proof of his fantastical missions.

He made the claims in an interview with Apex TV , a Youtube channel which specialises in paranormal activity and bizarre theories, and has nearly 800,000 subscribers.

Mike said he has visited the year 3700 a total of 18 times

Mike, who is of Greek heritage, was born in France and lived there until he was 14, before moving to Canada. It was in Canada that he says he began to be interested in science, and ended up working at a place called the National Secure Laboratory of Canada at the age of 18, where he said was involved in "many secret operations and objectives."

"We were doing experiments with time machine. We sent many groups and single travels to the future. I was also involved in the groups and was travelling with them.

"We were travelling to random years, but our main target was the year 3700."

Mike said he visited the year 3700 around 18 times. There were different kinds of robots, some of which were "just machines" and others which had an "individual artificial intelligence operating system". Some advanced robots had a face and body with a "synthetic colour" which he said made them look like a real human.

There were also military robots which were stronger and had weapons, and worked as "perfect kill machines", and some robots which had a laser gun in the place of a hand.

He said: "In the year 3700 the war began. The war between human race and artificial creators. The robots. The robots who had an artificial intelligence once understood their power. They understood their dominance above humans and raised above them. They were slaves but become the leaders.

Mike described the different robots he had seen

"The war had been started. The war that kind of nobody had seen before. On September 20 in the year 3700, all robots over the planet earth started their attack.

"After the first wave of assault, over 30 per cent of humans were destroyed.

"They used internet and wireless system to be connected at once and give attack together. The only thing that saved the most population of humans is that robots did not get the codes of launching system of the nuclear rockets. In that case there would be not a war, but a genocide of the human race."

He said the robots "wanted to make a new empire. Their own generation of artificial beings. They had a dream to make this planet a place without humans, animals, plants and any organic creature."

Mike said he brought back a part of a "robot body" from the future from a robot that he "killed with my own hands". The supposed robot arm is quite small and simple looking, but Mike insisted: "There is so much power in this little hand that it can divide you in hundred pieces."

He is now living in hiding in Asia because he believes the National Secure Laboratory of Canada want to kill him for running away from the company and taking the robot arm with him.

Unfortunately, Mike did not go into details about what happened after 3700 and who eventually won the war.

People leaving comments on Apex TV's channel appeared less than convinced by Mike's story.

One, Steve Burkett, described the video as the "dumbest thing I've seen today". Another, FreiNrg, raised concerns about the rudimentary looking robot arm.

"Seriously could have made something better than that piece of crap to claim it's from the future," they wrote.
