Force Mate In 130 Moves?

I've recently seen a video on YouTube which says ''The longest checkmate I've ever seen!''
I was really amazed by the fact that it was true as the NM in the video really describes everything point by point.
So I was curious and placed the exact same position in Lichess board editor and then analyzed that game.
But the engine showed a 0.0 equality even though it was a forced checkmate in 130.
I was really confused to see that. Can't lichess analyze 130 forced moves? Im looking forward for an answer.

Perhaps you could also link to the video in question so that others can compare the two.

Thanks for reminding :)
In the very beginning of the video the NM explains that stockfish cannot see this forced checkmate because 130 moves exceeds the max-depth setting for most stockfish implementations. Maybe if one runs stockfish with max-depth > 100 on heavy duty hardware, one could discover other such long-range forced mates.

if it doesn't see on 130 move, then by playing on his reccomendation , I think he should see , when it reaches range of his view ( he plays the best moves I think, even if it's equal, so it can Reach his range of view maybe, after 60 moves for example)
Besides just press + button near stockfish setttings and depth, It will Rise Ananlysis Depth , and then Try again with ++ max rising depth
