1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Mega machines cutting through solid rock.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,000
The transportation of multi-ton stone blocks.

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Modern aircraft carrying millions of people each day around the

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,000
world. And space shuttles,

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:25,000
sending humans to the stars. But are these examples of modern

6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,000
technology? Are they the same?

7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Or is there evidence that these incredible achievements existed

8
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,000
on Earth thousands of years ago?

9
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,000
And you begin to have to ask yourself, are we missing part of the story?

10
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Could ancient man have possessed knowledge far beyond that of our

11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,000
own century? And if so, where did it come from?

12
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,000
I think that people in ancient times were visited by beings coming

13
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:58,000
not from this Earth. And they gave us scientific technologies.

14
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,000
It becomes ever more apparent that the possible answer of have

15
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,000
aliens visited in the past could be a potential yes.

16
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:12,000
Millions of people around the world believe we have been visited in

17
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,000
the past by extraterrestrial beings. What if it were true?

18
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history?

19
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,000
And if so, what if there were clues left behind,

20
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,000
sometimes hiding in plain sight?

21
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,000
What if we could find the evidence?

22
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Music

23
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Sakara, Egypt. Located roughly 20 miles south of Cairo,

24
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:17,000
it is home to the world famous steppe pyramid of King Joseph.

25
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Dating back more than 4,000 years, it is the oldest of Egypt's

26
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:30,000
97 pyramids. Sakara is also famous for being one of Egypt's

27
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,000
oldest burial grounds, earning it the nickname City of the Dead.

28
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:42,000
It was here in 1891 that French archaeologists unearthed an

29
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:47,000
ancient tomb containing the burial remains of Padiemen,

30
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,000
an official from the 3rd century BC.

31
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Among the various items discovered was a small wooden model of

32
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,000
what appeared to be a bird, lying beside a papyrus,

33
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,000
bearing the inscription, I want to fly.

34
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,000
The artifact was later sent to the Cairo Museum,

35
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,000
where authorities placed it alongside several other bird figurines.

36
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:18,000
The model sat largely unnoticed until 1969,

37
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,000
when Egyptologist Dr. Khalil Masiya was examining the bird collection

38
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,000
and noticed that there was something very different about the Sakara bird.

39
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:33,000
It's interesting because on one hand clearly it should look like a bird,

40
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,000
because it has eyes and has a typical nose of a bird.

41
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:42,000
On the other hand, the wings are clearly not bird wings.

42
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:48,000
To the middle of the rum, you see is the wing a bit thicker.

43
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:53,000
In this region, the lift up is the highest.

44
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:59,000
The whole thing becomes thinner to the end of the wings,

45
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,000
and those wings are modeled down.

46
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,000
And this is a very modern aerodynamic design.

47
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Then the other point is birds have no rudders,

48
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:15,000
because a bird does not need a rudder because of its aerodynamic architecture.

49
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:21,000
And so there is the idea that they are not representing birds,

50
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,000
but flying machines or aircraft.

51
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Could the ancient Egyptians have possessed the power of flight?

52
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,000
In 2006, aviation and aerodynamics expert Simon Sanderson

53
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,000
built a scale model of the Sakara bird,

54
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:47,000
five times larger than the original, to test that possibility.

55
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,000
We're running the constant speed,

56
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,000
slowly increasing the angle of attack,

57
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,000
and then measuring the forces which it's producing.

58
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,000
That way we can learn about its flight characteristics.

59
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,000
At 10 degrees, we're producing four times quite in lift,

60
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,000
so it actually would be flying now. That's good.

61
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:25,000
Tests shows the Sakara bird is a highly developed glider.

62
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:30,000
And this is a design we use today.

63
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,000
During the Sanderson tests, it was discovered

64
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,000
that the only thing preventing the Sakara bird from achieving flight

65
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:43,000
was the lack of a rear stabilizing rudder or elevator needed to maintain balance.

66
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:48,000
Is it possible that the Sakara bird ever possessed this critical component?

67
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,000
What is missing is something like an elevator.

68
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000
But if you look at this feature here,

69
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:01,000
then we may interpret that something like an elevator was connected here

70
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,000
or was lost during the history.

71
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Computer models seem to confirm that the Sakara bird is certainly airworthy.

72
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,000
But there is another problem to consider, launching a glider.

73
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Modern methods require the use of a tow plane

74
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000
that pulls the glider into the air,

75
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,000
then releases it when a proper altitude is reached.

76
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,000
So how might the ancient Egyptians have launched the Sakara bird?

77
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:39,000
The scientists of Egyptology told us that such a bird could be powered off by catapults to fly.

78
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:45,000
And we had a high acceptance by Egyptian scientists.

79
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,000
The idea of using a catapult does have a contemporary parallel.

80
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Many of today's glider enthusiasts employ a bungee court system to launch their sail craft into the air.

81
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:05,000
But if the Sakara bird is capable of flight, where would ancient Egyptians have acquired such technology?

82
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:11,000
I think that people in ancient times were visited by beings coming not from this earth

83
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:20,000
and they gave us culture and scientific technologies to improve our life on earth,

84
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,000
coming from the primitive to a higher developed culture.

85
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:30,000
If ancient cultures would be able to produce any really flyable machine,

86
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,000
they would be far more advanced than we believe today.

87
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:42,000
It changes our viewpoint of ancient societies.

88
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:53,000
It's a fact that our ancestors were more intelligent and had more technological superiority capabilities

89
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,000
than our history books give them credit for.

90
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,000
You begin to have to ask yourself, are we missing part of the story?

91
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:06,000
And honestly, I think we are. I think there has been a forgotten episode in human history.

92
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:12,000
And we're a species with amnesia. We don't really remember who or what we are.

93
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:20,000
I haven't been convinced that there is evidence that supports an ancient visitation.

94
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:28,000
But there is no reason why not. And I think to shut oneself to that possibility is a mistake,

95
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,000
mainly because there are so many anomalies that we can't explain.

96
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:40,000
7,000 miles from Egypt, the dense jungles and rugged mountains of Columbia

97
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,000
contain a vast number of archaeological sites.

98
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Many treasure hunters believe the legendary city of gold, Eldorado, lies hidden here,

99
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,000
somewhere under a thick canopy of trees.

100
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,000
While the mythical metropolis has never been found, early in the 20th century,

101
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:11,000
tomb robbers searching along the Magdalena River stumbled upon a gravesite dating back 1,500 years

102
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,000
to a pre-Columbian civilization known as the Tolima.

103
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Among the funerary objects found there were hundreds of small 2-3-inch gold figurines.

104
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:27,000
Many of those looked like insects and fish.

105
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:33,000
However, out of those hundreds that they found, they also found about a dozen

106
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:38,000
that are eerily reminiscent of modern-day fighter jets.

107
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:49,000
They have a triangular shape. They have an upright tail fin,

108
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,000
stabilizers,

109
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,000
and a fuselage.

110
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:03,000
And they have nothing in common with anything similar in nature.

111
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:12,000
Could these gold objects really be proof that Earth has been visited by ancient aliens?

112
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:19,000
One of the objects shows typical specked wings, like with a modern aircraft.

113
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:28,000
And if you compare it to something like a space shuttle, you'll see that the basic wing shape is very similar

114
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:35,000
to wing shapes for high-speed aerodynamic bodies, like a space shuttle is.

115
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,000
There is not a single insect in the world which has got its wings at the bottom.

116
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:50,000
Now when you exclude the possibility that it's an insect, one of the things which remain is the fact that this is actually, yes, what it looks like, a plane.

117
00:10:51,000 --> 00:11:00,000
In 1997, German aviation experts including Algun Invom and Peter Belting set out to prove the speculation

118
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:07,000
by building a scale model replica of the Goldflyer, fully equipped with landing gear and a working engine.

119
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:17,000
It was rather simple because we don't need to put much parts to this shape because this shape is perfect.

120
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:23,000
Everything was already done by the native people 2,000 years ago.

121
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:31,000
They did not add an inch or remove an inch. They just essentially blew the little thing into a larger size.

122
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:40,000
I mean, this is sensational that pre-Columbian culture knew about aerodynamics.

123
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:48,000
Once completed, the remote-controlled flyer took off down a makeshift runway and flew.

124
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:58,000
When you see this thing taking off, you really feel that this is the real deal.

125
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:10,000
It was a very successful test and showed us how perfect ancient people were working out aerodynamic design.

126
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:19,000
What shows you that there must be something happened, we are not quite sure how it did, but that it did.

127
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,000
This is applied science. This isn't just thinking somewhere.

128
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,000
This is people going out there and making sure and proving.

129
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,000
With eyes to see, anybody can see this, that this is real, this is genuine.

130
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:35,000
This little thing, which sits in a museum, could fly.

131
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:51,000
So we have two examples from opposite side of the planet, and both examples are aerodynamically sound and they fly.

132
00:12:52,000 --> 00:13:01,000
So to suggest that all of this is coincidence, I mean, after a while, even coincidence no longer makes sense.

133
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:13,000
Could the ancients have seen actual entities like ancient gods, ancient astronauts actually flying around in what amounted to modern aircraft?

134
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:26,000
The answer to these questions may be found in ancient documents that describe flight patterns, aircraft specs, and even aerial battles in remarkable detail.

135
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:36,000
Over the past 50 years, NASA has sent astronauts into space inside large rockets.

136
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:44,000
This method has been described by Sun as simply putting a man on a large firecracker and lighting the fuse.

137
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:59,000
Man's ability to travel farther into space will require more advanced propulsion systems. Several are being researched by NASA.

138
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:10,000
There are a wide variety of advanced propulsion technologies that are being actively developed and studied by NASA and other researchers.

139
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:16,000
A really exotic version of that is to use a launch assist catapult.

140
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:28,000
You use technology derived from the magnetic levitation trains to build a maglev sled that carries your rocket, gets it up to about Mach 1,

141
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,000
and then launches the rocket from it.

142
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:44,000
While these futuristic propulsion systems seem like something out of science fiction, ancient alien theorists believe past civilizations possess these same advanced technologies.

143
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:58,000
They point to a number of cultural myths that describe sky people coming to Earth in fire-breathing dragons or metallic-looking machines as proof of extraterrestrial visitation.

144
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,000
In my mind, legends and myths are based on something real.

145
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:19,000
And while they've been mythified and exaggerated in many cases, in my mind, some core of truth here in that people really were flying in airships in ancient times, just like we do today.

146
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:26,000
But might these airships have reached Earth using the same type of propulsion systems we use today?

147
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,000
The answer may be found deep in the Indian subcontinent.

148
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:44,000
India, over 1.1 billion people crowd its modern cities and rural townships, speaking hundreds of languages, and practicing a number of different religions.

149
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:52,000
India is considered one of the oldest civilizations, with settlements dating back over 11,000 years.

150
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,000
It is also home to several of the oldest records of ancient technologies.

151
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:08,000
Ancient Sanskrit texts dating back as far as 6000 BC describe in varying but vivid detail flying machines called Vimanas.

152
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:16,000
Vimanas are aeroplanes and they are powered by some jet engines.

153
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:26,000
This seems to be true because all the description of the flight behavior, elephants ran away in panic.

154
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:35,000
Grass was thrown out because there was a lot of pressure from behind those Vimanas.

155
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,000
So that we can say this is a description of the spaceship.

156
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Although mainstream historians believe the Vimana texts are myths, many of the documents contain passages that seem to describe modern machinery and technology.

157
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:04,000
The Vimanika Shastra goes into metals that are used in these craft.

158
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,000
It talks about electricity and power sources.

159
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,000
It talks about the pilots and the clothing they have to wear.

160
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,000
It talks about the food that they eat.

161
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,000
It talks even about the weapons that are kept on these airships.

162
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:27,000
The flight manuals of the Vimanas are quite similar to the flight manuals you find in the modern passenger flight business.

163
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Or when you go to the military jet engines, of course they have also flight manuals because it's necessary for a pilot to get knowledge about his plane.

164
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,000
He wanted to fly with.

165
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:53,000
We also learned that these Vimanas could be controlled mentally.

166
00:17:54,000 --> 00:18:01,000
And this is a technology that modern militaries are beginning to develop.

167
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:13,000
Even today, with its advances, we think we are, almost every manifestation of an actual extraterrestrial civilization today would look almost like magic to us.

168
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:22,000
Where it has to do with technological electromagnetic systems that interface with coherent thought and organized thought.

169
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,000
And this gets into people go, well, now you're losing me here.

170
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:31,000
But I tell people, I said, yeah, well, you got to push your boundaries a little bit if you're talking about a true interstellar civilization.

171
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:44,000
The Vimanakashastra, or science of aeronautics, indicates Vimanas used a propulsion system based on a combination of gyroscopes, electricity and mercury.

172
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,000
Is this possible?

173
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,000
Mercury is an unusual element.

174
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,000
Mercury is metal.

175
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,000
It's also a liquid.

176
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:58,000
And is a conductor of electricity.

177
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,000
Now, there's unusual things you can do with mercury.

178
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:12,000
You can put it into a closed gyroscopic device with mercury spinning around, and then you can electrify it.

179
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,000
And studies have been done on this by NASA and by other scientists.

180
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:25,000
And they find that, you know, levitation effects, anti-gravity kind of effects, and a spinning bright light is part of it too.

181
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:34,000
The Vimanakashastra suggests Vimanas were powered by several gyroscopes, placed inside a sealed liquid mercury vortex.

182
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,000
Here's an example of a little kid's gyroscope.

183
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:44,000
You spin it with a heavy wheel around a central axis.

184
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:50,000
Well, a gyroscope seems to do a lot of strange things, even defy gravity.

185
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:58,000
And it does this because it uses what's called rotational or angular momentum.

186
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:06,000
And it wants to keep a particular orientation on its spin axis, the center rod.

187
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:14,000
If you push on that rod, it will want to brighten itself up to its original orientation.

188
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,000
It wants to keep that same angular momentum.

189
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:26,000
Gyroscopes are used all over the place in airplanes, in spacecraft, in submarines.

190
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,000
This allows them to determine their position based on where they started.

191
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:38,000
They can also use it for finding their velocity, or even just the orientation of the vehicle in space.

192
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:51,000
One of the texts talks about mercury rotating and driving some sort of a powerful wind, or a windmill effect.

193
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:59,000
That might be some sort of what we call a flywheel energy storage, where you have a spinning disk,

194
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:03,000
and then you extract energy from it slowly. That would be the mercury.

195
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:13,000
And then that could be used to drive some sort of propeller, or what we call a ducted fan sort of system, like you have in a hovercraft.

196
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:23,000
Mercury would be quite good for that because it's a high density, so you'd have a small package for your power plant.

197
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,000
And that's always good when you're building an aircraft.

198
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:32,000
Flywheel energy storage systems, however, tend to lose power quickly.

199
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,000
To navigate across space, its size would have to be enormous.

200
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,000
They're fine for use by power companies for load leveling.

201
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,000
You put energy in when you don't need it, you get energy out when you need it.

202
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:52,000
But they're sitting on the ground. They have something light enough to actually fly.

203
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,000
It's not at all clear that this would be a practical device.

204
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:03,000
Now maybe the people were trying to describe something that kind of looked like this to them.

205
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,000
It might not have actually been mercury. It might have been some other liquid metal.

206
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:15,000
The mercury vortex engine is perhaps a failure in the translation,

207
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:23,000
because the vortex is not a material quite suitable to a jet engine.

208
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:33,000
The issue of how are these civilizations traveling faster than the speed of light is a fundamental question.

209
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:40,000
It's a scientific application of things that have been studied for thousands of years and they're within the Vedas.

210
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:45,000
The ancient Vedic teachings or other ancient teachings and it is there.

211
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:56,000
But if Vimana's existed, could this prove there was a worldwide transportation network thousands of years before Columbus?

212
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:02,000
The answer might be found on a mountain top outside Mexico City.

213
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:14,000
In the 21st century, modern transportation and communication methods have connected the world like never before.

214
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:22,000
Products or ideas, no matter where in the world they may have originated, can spread to even the most remote countries.

215
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:28,000
A hip-hop hit in Brooklyn might make it big in Tokyo before it's even heard in Manhattan.

216
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:34,000
This cultural interconnection has transformed the globe. But is it new?

217
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:48,000
Mainstream archaeologists believe ancient civilizations such as those found in the remote Pacific islands, Asia and South America developed independently from each other.

218
00:23:49,000 --> 00:24:01,000
But ancient astronaut theorists contend that similarities in building styles and beliefs found in these cultures suggest that a worldwide trade route may have connected them to each other.

219
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:26,000
But just like we have airports today around the world, in ancient times with the Vimana's there would have been hangers for the craft, airports for them to land and those airports would have been situated in strategic places around the world.

220
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:31,000
And that's exactly what we see in remote places.

221
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:45,000
Could the complex set of lines covering Peru's Nazca plain or the mysterious plateau above Mexico's Oaxaca Valley be evidence of runways for a worldwide air transportation system?

222
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:51,000
One of the unusual archaeological sites in Mexico is a place called Monti Alba.

223
00:24:52,000 --> 00:25:04,000
That is also a mountain where the top of the mountain was completely cut off and leveled to make a very flat tabletop mountain.

224
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,000
And there's a megalithic city there too that's extremely old.

225
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:16,000
This was probably some kind of Vimana airport.

226
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:38,000
The Vimana's could be kind of missing link between the single cultures in the world because they had just a very short time to flow from one part of the world to the other.

227
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:48,000
Legends of air travel are also found in ancient Africa and the Middle East.

228
00:25:49,000 --> 00:26:02,000
According to the Kaver Nagast, a holy book of the Ethiopians written sometime before the second century AD, the Queen of Sheba was once given a gift of a flying carpet by King Solomon of Israel.

229
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:08,000
The Kaver Nagast is one of the most important texts you've never heard of.

230
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:18,000
The Kaver Nagast means the Book of Kings and it is the most sacred book of the Ethiopians.

231
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:28,000
In it, King Solomon is described as having access to some type of a flying machine.

232
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:37,000
And in that part of the world, the term flying carpet was always used very liberally.

233
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:50,000
My question is, did they really mean actual flying carpets or was it another term with which to describe some type of a flying machine?

234
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:58,000
This was the original chariots of the gods that Eric Vondonikon talked about.

235
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:04,000
The flying magic carpets of the Arabian Knights stories.

236
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:13,000
There are traditions in the Middle East of King Solomon having this airship and flying to different places in the Middle East.

237
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,000
Certain mountains which are known as the mountains of Solomon.

238
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:25,000
These may have been certain airports or landing areas for these Vamanas.

239
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:36,000
Nicholas Rorick, famous Russian American explorer who traveled all through Central Asia and Tibet in the 1920s.

240
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:43,000
He too claimed that Tibetans had traditions of King Solomon flying to Tibet in this aircraft.

241
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:51,000
The Kaibra Nagast also describes how King Solomon used his flying airship to make maps of the world.

242
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:59,000
But could these have any relation to other ancient maps some believe may have been made by extraterrestrials?

243
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:06,000
Some of these maps show the world not as it looks today but as it looked during the last Ice Age.

244
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,000
And this is really hard to explain.

245
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:22,000
Everybody's heard of the Piri Rees map but they perhaps not heard of the Ronitius Phineas map or the Mercator maps that show Antarctica in great detail hundreds of years before Antarctica was even discovered.

246
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:30,000
One of the most referenced stories of ancient aircraft is found in a surprising place, the Bible.

247
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:40,000
In the Book of Ezekiel, the prophet describes a flying chariot containing wheels within wheels and powered by angels.

248
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:56,000
Although Bible historians suggest Ezekiel was speaking symbolically about the terrifying enemies facing Israel, could this be another example of an alien visitation and proof that prehistoric aircraft existed?

249
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:15,000
In the story of Ezekiel's throne chariot, this flying vehicle that doesn't seem to have any means of propulsion, if we thought of the word angel as representing something like celestial energy, it sounds much more like a spacecraft then because some of the angels are going back and forth.

250
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,000
Well that sounds like flames, that sounds like propulsion.

251
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,000
Some of them are wheel like, well those sound like flying saucers.

252
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:36,000
Our ancestors weren't idiots. Ezekiel saw something that was so frightening to him that he fell to his knees.

253
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:50,000
Then out of the glory of God came this being in these bright clothes that looked like metal and told Ezekiel, alright man, we brought you here.

254
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:57,000
We want you to measure this monument, this building and Ezekiel asks, well why should I do this?

255
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,000
And the being says, that's why we brought you here.

256
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:17,000
And then you have 40 pages in the second part of the Book of Ezekiel with measurement after measurement after measurement of this gigantic building in which by the way, the glory of the Lord landed.

257
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:31,000
In the early 1970s, NASA scientist Joseph Blumrick set out to disprove the theory that what Ezekiel witnessed was a spaceship.

258
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:36,000
Joseph Blumrick is your proverbial rocket scientist.

259
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:49,000
He worked on the Moon project for NASA and from the mind of a rocket engineer started to look at what was written in the first part of the book.

260
00:30:50,000 --> 00:31:08,000
In the book of Ezekiel and after many months of research, Joseph Blumrick came to the conclusion that what Ezekiel described in his eyewitness report, it was indeed a type of spacecraft.

261
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:15,000
Joseph Blumrick would go on to write the spaceships of Ezekiel.

262
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:31,000
Several years later, a German structural engineer named Hans Herbert Bayer sketched out a blueprint of the second section of the Book of Ezekiel, where Ezekiel is told to construct an open top building to house the flying chariot.

263
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:39,000
Ezekiel's spaceship fit exactly into the temple that Hans Herbert Bayer recreated.

264
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,000
So what we have here is a proof by indication.

265
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:49,000
Here we have a NASA engineer and a structural engineer.

266
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:56,000
They didn't know of each other's work and both pieces fit together like a puzzle.

267
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:01,000
In any court of law, that's evidence that would hold up.

268
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:12,000
I think that scientists feel uncomfortable with the notion of the lost civilization precisely because the evidence for it is so ambiguous.

269
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:19,000
It's not so in your face that it's immediately obvious and you know the result is that science has not welcomed this idea.

270
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:24,000
It'll take much more evidence before it's widely accepted.

271
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:33,000
The God that I believe in doesn't need a vehicle in which to move around from point A to point B.

272
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:39,000
Whatever was described in the Old Testament wasn't God.

273
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:50,000
It was a misunderstood flesh and blood extraterrestrial whom our ancestors misinterpreted as being divine and supernatural.

274
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:54,000
And why? Because of misunderstood technology.

275
00:32:54,000 --> 00:33:01,000
And that is the underlying thread that applies to all of the ancient astronaut theory.

276
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:11,000
But while ancient texts provide tantalizing clues to our past, physical evidence paints an even clearer picture.

277
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:16,000
But will modern science finally prove the ancient astronaut theory?

278
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:22,000
Did the ancient civilizations of Earth have access to advanced technology?

279
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:26,000
Well, it seems like they had something going on.

280
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:43,000
In today's largest construction sites and quarries, huge mega machines are used to dig, cut and lift stone.

281
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:52,000
These man-made creatures dwarf their creators and perform the work of thousands of men using modern hydraulic technologies.

282
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:59,000
Without such equipment, builders could never construct modern skyscrapers.

283
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:10,000
Yet thousands of years ago, ancient civilizations were accomplishing the same work while constructing their monuments and temples using massive stones.

284
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:19,000
These enormous blocks, many weighing in excess of 100 tons, would be a challenge even for today's engineers.

285
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:29,000
Yet thousands of years ago, people cut them out of solid rock, transported them for miles and then lifted them precisely into place.

286
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,000
But how?

287
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:42,000
Did they cut these massive stone blocks with hammers, chisels and copper wire, as mainstream archaeologists suggest?

288
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:47,000
But they have lifted and transported them without a pulley system or the wheel.

289
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:54,000
Or did ancient civilizations possess advanced technologies that have since been lost to science?

290
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,000
At Giza, you just don't have the pyramids.

291
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,000
The link to the pyramids are what Egyptologists call valley temples.

292
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:12,000
It doesn't take a rocket engineer that when you go there, there's something not quite right here.

293
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:27,000
Whereas the pyramids are built with blocks of 2 to 3 tons, these temples, which are minute compared to the pyramids, are built with blocks of 100 tons and some of them 200 tons.

294
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:34,000
Now let me tell you what a 100 ton block is. If you take 100 family cars and you squeeze them together, you get one of these blocks.

295
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:42,000
First of all, let alone how they move these blocks is why would they want to use 100 ton blocks? It simply doesn't make sense.

296
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:52,000
There's no reason for them to want to build out of granite blocks the size of a semi-truck.

297
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:58,000
It's like, okay, let's do something, but let's do it as difficult as we could possibly do it.

298
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:18,000
The reason why I am convinced that sophisticated technology was utilized in these ancient rocks is because if we go to a stone quarry today and look at the scope of machinery required to accomplish similar things,

299
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,000
those machines are huge.

300
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:37,000
Subscribers to Ancient Alien Theory do not believe extraterrestrials built these amazing monuments, but instead provided some type of technological know-how or tools to our ancestors.

301
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:46,000
Engineering expert Chris Dunn has spent several decades researching the construction tools used by the ancient Egyptians.

302
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:54,000
We're normally taught by Egyptologists that the ancient Egyptians had simple tools.

303
00:36:55,000 --> 00:37:06,000
They went to work every day using stone balls, copper chisels, a copper tube and sand to grind holes in diorite and granite, extremely hard rock.

304
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:17,000
From what I have actually gathered over the years is information that seems to actually argue against that notion that they had simple tools.

305
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:24,000
In Egypt, Dunn was able to examine ancient sites first-hand.

306
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:30,000
What he found has proved to be both revolutionary and controversial.

307
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:45,000
If you look at the Giza Plateau and all the stones that they actually placed in the Great Pyramid and Capra's Pyramid, MacCarras Pyramid, two and a half million blocks of stone in the Great Pyramid alone,

308
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:51,000
they had to have had some efficient means of cutting them to size and putting them into place.

309
00:37:51,000 --> 00:38:02,000
They had to have had somebody on site who was saying, OK, I need to block this size and then getting a block to them that size, stack, like immediately.

310
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:15,000
While searching several miles north of Giza at Abu Rwash, Dunn stumbled upon a clue when he spotted a granite block containing a deep cut.

311
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:20,000
When I first saw it, I just didn't know what to make of it.

312
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:30,000
And it was only after puzzling over it for days and sometimes waking up at 3 o'clock in the morning scratching my head and thinking, how do they make this cut?

313
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:40,000
And finally to realize that the only way that they could have actually cut that thing was with a saw that was 35 feet in diameter.

314
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:53,000
The idea that ancient Egyptians used giant saws provoked much resistance from mainstream archeologists. Dunn, however, was convinced.

315
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:58,000
As an ex-machineist, I look for tool marks. I look for them everywhere I go.

316
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:06,000
And I could be accused of, well, you know, if you're going to look for something, you're probably going to find it because you're looking at it through a certain filter.

317
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:11,000
Accept it, I agree. But the question is, why is it there?

318
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:17,000
Clearly to me, that is a machine mark, but there were no machines back then.

319
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:23,000
So what do I do? I just go looking for more machine marks and they're all over the place.

320
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:30,000
You find them on statues and find them particularly in the Luxor Museum.

321
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:40,000
There seems to be an impression on the side of Amun's buttock where it meets the bench, where there is an undercut.

322
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:46,000
It was the slip of a tool and therefore it must have been a tool that was quite efficient.

323
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:56,000
Dunn also believes that the large depressions in the ground at Giza are not boat pits, as is claimed by mainstream archeologists.

324
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:00,000
But were actually used to hold the 35-foot saws.

325
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:12,000
I speculate that they were actually saw pits. The saws were mounted in these pits and they ran the blocks through the saws before they put them in the Great Pyramid.

326
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:19,000
Another mystery involves how megastones were lifted up and placed into a precise position.

327
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:28,000
What you find in modern construction is that to build big buildings, you need to build big instruments which help build these big buildings.

328
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,000
And that is something which archeology has never addressed.

329
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:39,000
The three largest man-made stones in the world are found at the Temple of Jupiter at Balbec in Lebanon.

330
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:45,000
Each weighs an estimated 1,000 tons or 2 million pounds.

331
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:52,000
A nearby quarry contains an even bigger stone, known as the Stone of the Pregnant Woman.

332
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:58,000
This giant rectangular block weighs an incredible 1,200 tons.

333
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:04,000
To move it today would take the strength of 21 heavy lift cranes.

334
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:23,000
Being in the construction industry, if a certain project is being constructed somewhere, particularly in mountainous areas, how would we carry this machinery, these cranes and all that?

335
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:28,000
They are so heavy that it is virtually impossible to take them to the site.

336
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:39,000
This stone came off of a project in Palm Springs where they had one of the largest excavators they could rent.

337
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:55,000
They had trouble loading it into the truck. It is well in excess of 5 tons, 10,000 pounds, small in megalithic terms, but basically what we can handle with modern machinery.

338
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:07,000
We're supposed to accept that the people who built the pyramids did not have the wheel, did not have the pulley, did not have iron.

339
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:17,000
In fact, they had nothing. With brutal manpower and pieces of strings, the context does not fit the evidence.

340
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:33,000
I've done pulling operations in Upper Egypt, thousands of people involved in the various stages of the project, moving very fragile pieces of stone that weigh hundreds if not thousands of tons.

341
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:41,000
Yes, you can use ropes, but you're going to have to use other mechanical advantages.

342
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:51,000
But if ancient civilizations did not possess modern mechanical equipment, how did they move and lift megaton stones?

343
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:57,000
Some believe they were given a technical advantage from extraterrestrial visitors.

344
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:05,000
You've got to ask yourself, why would they try and do something that seems so incredibly difficult?

345
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:15,000
The answer to why they would do that has to be that it somehow wasn't so difficult for them. It was easy.

346
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:31,000
There exists one very concise description of how these massive stones were transported from the quarry to the building site.

347
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:51,000
The master builders had the capability of putting some type of a white substance, paper-like substance, onto the stones and they rode on it and then they basically gave the stone block a push and it moved by six feet as if by magic.

348
00:43:52,000 --> 00:44:00,000
Now, did that thing really move by magic? No, some technology was used.

349
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:23,000
That is part of the solution. In order to really move massive amounts of stone like that, they would have had to have been levitated, somehow made weightless, and then just moved through the air by some kind of device, perhaps even a handheld kind of device like some beam weapon.

350
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:42,000
Ancient man's method of moving large blocks is only one mystery. Another surrounds the techniques of their stone masons. How did prehistoric civilizations cut such intricately designed patterns in solid granite?

351
00:44:54,000 --> 00:45:05,000
Palm Springs, California. Master stone mason and sculptor Roger Hopkins uses a variety of advanced tools to cut and shape hard stones.

352
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:18,000
Powered implements such as diamond tip wires and polishers enable him to fashion works of art out of huge granite blocks obtained from nearby quarries.

353
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:29,000
Yet even with these high-tech tools, Hopkins cannot replicate what ancient civilizations accomplished thousands of years ago.

354
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:40,000
Could these advanced engineering methods be the smoking gun that proves humans had help from alien beings?

355
00:45:41,000 --> 00:46:00,000
The precision on some of the work that I've seen is just incredible. It's possible to do by hand, but it takes an incredible amount of time. Plus, you have to have years of experience to be able to pull it off.

356
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:14,000
In my opinion, the most tangible pieces of evidence that we have regarding possible extraterrestrial technology is when we look at the ancient stone cutting techniques.

357
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:27,000
Because in some instances, we ourselves today could not replicate what our ancestors allegedly accomplished with stone masonry.

358
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:40,000
Puma Punku is a large temple complex located on a high plateau in Bolivia.

359
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:51,000
Mainstream archaeologists date the site from approximately 200 BC.

360
00:46:52,000 --> 00:47:00,000
The people who lived here had neither written language nor the wheel. Yet somehow, they built one of the world's most complex structures.

361
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:11,000
Ancient alien theorists view Puma Punku as clear proof of extraterrestrial influence.

362
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:19,000
The ruins we find at Puma Punku are simply extraordinary.

363
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,000
Puma Punku defies logic.

364
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:37,000
The interest of Puma Punku is not so much that the individual stone slotted together perfectly, but the fact that the stones as such are of such tremendous design.

365
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:43,000
That it requires concepts of mathematics which are far beyond anything we are actually using right now.

366
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:54,000
Yet somehow in the past, somebody has made that for a specific purpose and in a way which even computer programs today would kind of go, how is this possible?

367
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:11,000
In the highlands of Bolivia, Puma Punku, some of these blocks are over 40 to 50 tons each.

368
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,000
What can you tell us about this?

369
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:22,000
Boy, they had their stone cutting abilities pretty well fine tuned for 5,000 years old.

370
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,000
I mean, it's almost unbelievable.

371
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:30,000
But these cutting planes that they have on here are very impressive.

372
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:40,000
And some of the incised cuts, see like in here, all these interior cuts, very hard to do.

373
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:46,000
I mean, it would be difficult for us with our equipment to get that kind of precision.

374
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:53,000
Let's talk a little bit about inside boxes.

375
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:57,000
I was afraid you were going to pull something like this on me.

376
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,000
That is a hell of a piece of work.

377
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:09,000
I mean, if we were to do something like that today, we use what they have, these computer driven CNC machines,

378
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:16,000
which have diamond tips and you have a template that, you know, the computer follows.

379
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:19,000
And even then, it may not come out as perfect.

380
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:28,000
Because even though you can tell that obviously this piece broke off, nowhere in here can you see any imperfection.

381
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:37,000
It's like, and by the way, when you're there, if you go with your finger over these edges and you put a little pressure on your fingertip,

382
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:41,000
you can cut yourself. This is how sharp the edges are.

383
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:50,000
But where could the ancient peoples have developed such technology?

384
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:57,000
Is it really possible that extraterrestrial visitors provided different construction methods and tools?

385
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:03,000
When I saw these blocks, I didn't really think that they were cut.

386
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:13,000
The first thing really that I thought of was this appears very similar to Frank Lloyd Wright's textile block system of construction,

387
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:18,000
which he used in his California houses in the early 1920s.

388
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:25,000
Now what he did was he took concrete, poured it into molds.

389
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:37,000
There actually are ancient Incan legends that suggest that they had the capability of softening the stone.

390
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:45,000
At Sakse Huaman, for example, we find these gigantic stone blocks, gigantic stone walls,

391
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:54,000
where it looks as if those stones were molten, put into place, and then the stone hardened again.

392
00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:09,000
Several hundred miles north of Puma Punku, Machu Picchu sits high atop the Peruvian Andes.

393
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:18,000
Built by the Incas in the 15th century, this stone citadel was suddenly abandoned about 100 years later.

394
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:28,000
Like Puma Punku, Machu Picchu also has signs of advanced engineering and possibly molded stones.

395
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:36,000
I can't help but think that whoever was behind this thought the process through from beginning to end.

396
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:41,000
They didn't quarry the rock and then decide how the heck are we going to transport this.

397
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:49,000
They knew from beginning to end what needed to be done with whatever techniques and technology they were going to use

398
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,000
so that this was no big deal.

399
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:58,000
In industry today there's kind of an adage, keep it simple, stupid.

400
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:06,000
Based on his experience, Mike Dunn believes the simplest way to build the great walls of Machu Picchu

401
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:14,000
would have been to transport small rocks to the site, then melt them, and use molds to fashion the exact size and shape needed.

402
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:21,000
That would solve a lot of difficulties of constructing this wall first.

403
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:31,000
You have your shapes all the same size, each shape, so you're guaranteed that they would fit together,

404
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:35,000
as opposed to being cut by different artisans.

405
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:46,000
Melting the rocks and then pouring them into place would take an incredible amount of heat just to spall off pieces of stone.

406
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:59,000
I have a stone torch which I use for sometimes shaping granite, and it generates a temperature of in excess of 3,000 degrees.

407
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:03,000
3,000 degrees? That's a lot.

408
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:13,000
When we look back at the ancients and we see a technology that they couldn't possibly know,

409
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:20,000
there's only two possibilities of that. Either God did it, which we really don't think happened,

410
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:27,000
or some high-tech civilization from another planet came and showed them how to do it,

411
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:31,000
then took their materials and tools and went back home.

412
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:40,000
The idea behind that is that none of these ancient monuments that were constructed or manufactured by extraterrestrials,

413
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:46,000
it was us humans who built it with extraterrestrial technology.

414
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:54,000
It's entirely possible that there were visitations, that they pointed out ways to do things,

415
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:56,000
and that they wanted to leave some kind of a record.

416
00:53:56,000 --> 00:54:02,000
I mean, if you're going to leave a permanent record, the only way you can do that is in stone.

417
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:09,000
But if advanced beings from another planet really did bring their technology to Earth,

418
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:14,000
might the ancient astronauts have left one of their tools behind?

419
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:29,000
The methods used to build huge megalithic structures such as Puma Punku and the Pyramids of Egypt remain a mystery.

420
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:38,000
But what about the tools used to build them? Where are they?

421
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:43,000
And might they provide a clue as to how these enormous stone structures were created?

422
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:53,000
A lot of the real ancient mysterious work was done at a time when there was no steel.

423
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:59,000
And the copper they had was, yeah, they could harden it by cold hammering it,

424
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:05,000
but still wouldn't make a dent in rocks like basalt and granite.

425
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:12,000
So they would have had to use, you know, much more labor's techniques,

426
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:18,000
or they had some sort of advanced technology which escapes me.

427
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:21,000
And I've been in the business 40 years.

428
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:32,000
The tools and machines must have been equal to the task of actually building the pyramids.

429
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:37,000
Crafting those statues to such a high order of precision.

430
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:43,000
Crafting those boxes to a modern day precision that we find in our inspection lab.

431
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:48,000
And the big question, where are the tools?

432
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:55,000
In the late 19th century, British archaeologist Sir Flinders Petrie scoured Egypt,

433
00:55:55,000 --> 00:56:00,000
looking not for the biggest items, but the smallest.

434
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:07,000
Petrie was absolutely fascinated by the technical achievement

435
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:11,000
of the British archaeologist Sir Flinders Petrie.

436
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:18,000
Petrie was absolutely fascinated by the technical achievements of the Egyptians,

437
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,000
particularly the early Egyptians.

438
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:25,000
He constantly was looking for how they made things, how they developed things,

439
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:29,000
how they continued to sort of basically perfect their tools.

440
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:35,000
We're normally taught that the ancient Egyptians had simple tools,

441
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:42,000
and what Petrie brought out is information that seems to actually argue against that notion.

442
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:54,000
This is an example of a drill hole. You can see the very fine lines on it.

443
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:57,000
You can see the technology that's made to use it.

444
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:02,000
You can see how it's a perfect hole, it's all the way through, but it tapers at one end.

445
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:06,000
This is the fragments of a die-right bowl.

446
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:12,000
It's one of the hardest substances, and you can see on this fragment that there's a lathe mark,

447
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:17,000
which is really interesting that they managed to make such a mark in such a hard material.

448
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:26,000
Among all the tools discovered by Petrie, however, one stood out from all the rest.

449
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:34,000
While working inside the Great Pyramid, Petrie stumbled across a tubular drill made of granite.

450
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:41,000
Tubular drills amongst the ancient Egyptians were actually fairly common.

451
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,000
I mean, Petrie found quite a few of them.

452
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:48,000
The interesting thing about the one that he found in Giza is that it's such hard stone

453
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:52,000
that was so carefully curved, precisely grooved.

454
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:58,000
As you can see, it's got very, very fine markings on it, basically lines,

455
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:01,000
literally a couple of millimeters apart.

456
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:08,000
You can see it goes all the way around, very, very accurately, hardly any waves at all.

457
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:11,000
He was absolutely amazed by this.

458
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:14,000
He kept returning to it throughout his life.

459
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:19,000
His theory was that the Egyptians must have had access to diamonds

460
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:22,000
or some kind of drill that would have cut it.

461
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:28,000
The interesting thing about Petrie's theory about how these drill lines were made

462
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:31,000
was that he never discovered any diamonds in ancient Egypt.

463
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:37,000
So where were they? Where did they go? We don't know.

464
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:43,000
If the ancient Egyptians didn't possess diamonds,

465
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:47,000
how were the precision grooves cut onto the granite drill?

466
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:52,000
Did Petrie accidentally discover a tool made by extraterrestrials?

467
00:58:54,000 --> 00:59:00,000
Machinist expert Chris Dunn attempted to answer this question by creating his own granite drill,

468
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:04,000
using the known tools and techniques of the ancient Egyptians.

469
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:14,000
In order to test the Egyptologist's theory about how the ancient Egyptians drilled into granite,

470
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:22,000
I took a tube and a fixed-day crank on it and actually used sand and silicon carbide.

471
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:28,000
And after many hours of turning and drilling into this piece of granite,

472
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:32,000
finally got deep enough that I could actually pop a core out.

473
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:38,000
And the reason for that was to actually look out the surface, not just of the hole, but of the core.

474
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:45,000
The next step was to use a high-tech industrial microscope to compare his drill core

475
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:49,000
to a latex copy of the one at the Petrie Museum.

476
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:55,000
We have under the microscope the core that we drilled with the copper tube and sand.

477
00:59:55,000 --> 01:00:02,000
And as you can see, the surface of the core, the striations are not very clear.

478
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:13,000
There's nothing really distinctive in terms of the feed of the tool marks using sand and copper.

479
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:20,000
Now, bringing the latex that they took of the core in the Petrie Museum,

480
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:24,000
and we see something totally different.

481
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:29,000
The striations are very clear and they're quite deep.

482
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:36,000
The devil is actually in the details, and the details of this particular artifact

483
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:45,000
are what I consider to be a smoking gun in terms of what level of technology we give the ancient Egyptians credit for.

484
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:56,000
Intrigued by his discovery, Chris Dunn performed other experiments using his precision instruments.

485
01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:09,000
As you can see, this is an inspection surface plate, probably ground to within 2-10 thousandths of an inch.

486
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:13,000
That is 1-tenth the thickness of a human hair.

487
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:23,000
Now, I was really amazed when I went inside the Serapium and put these gauges up against the surface

488
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:32,000
and found them to be within what I consider to be the tolerance of these particular gauges.

489
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:41,000
If you put a piece of paper under one edge of that blade, just a piece of paper,

490
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:46,000
you begin to see that there will be light leaking through.

491
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:54,000
And so the precision on the inside of the granite box is in the Serapium.

492
01:01:54,000 --> 01:02:03,000
I would say within 2-thousandths of an inch, which is incredible,

493
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:07,000
because those tolerances can't just appear by accident.

494
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:20,000
It was very shocking, it was astounding to me to go to Egypt and go into a facility that was supposedly 3-thousand years old

495
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:26,000
and find the same kind of precision. I was amazed.

496
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:41,000
I've seen evidence of the carvings on granite done in Egypt and they did it with little shards of quartz.

497
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:47,000
I believe they would have just scratched away the stone with that. That's one possibility.

498
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:51,000
But I mean, that's a heck of a lot of work to do that.

499
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:55,000
I mean, we're talking somebody would devote years to doing something like that.

500
01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:07,000
But here is my point. Here we have a real-life stone cutter. You see this and there's smoke coming out of your head.

501
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:11,000
Let's put it this way. I had a client come in and ask me to do that.

502
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:17,000
I wouldn't do it for any amount of money because I'm not going to waste my life trying to replicate that.

503
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:24,000
But precision-cut stone monuments are not the only enduring Middle Eastern mysteries.

504
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:32,000
Engineering experts have also examined the Bible story of the Israelites exodus from Egypt.

505
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:36,000
Just how did they survive for 40 years in the desert?

506
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:46,000
Could they have possessed intricate machines with extraordinary abilities used not for building, but for man's own survival?

507
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:58,000
In the Hebrew Bible, the book of Exodus describes how the Jewish people suffered as slaves living in Egypt.

508
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:11,000
Then sometime in the 14th century BC, the ruling pharaoh feared their growing numbers and ordered the killing of all firstborn Jews living in Egypt.

509
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:21,000
In an effort to save her son, one mother put her child in a small basket and set him adrift on the Nile River.

510
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:30,000
That child was found by the pharaoh's family who named him Moses and raised him as their own.

511
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:37,000
As an adult, Moses discovered his true identity and demanded that the pharaoh free the Jews.

512
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:43,000
When the pharaoh rejected him, Moses helped the Jews escape from Egypt.

513
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:51,000
Historians believe that Moses and his people crossed the Red Sea and made their way into the Sinai Desert.

514
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:57,000
According to the ancient texts, God grew angry at the Jews for idol-worshiping

515
01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:04,000
and forced them to wander the desert aimlessly for 40 years before allowing them to enter Israel.

516
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:11,000
During this time, the Bible says the Israelites survived by eating a single food source, manna.

517
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:20,000
But what is manna? A naturally abundant food provided by God? Or, as some believe, something very different.

518
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:29,000
In the Bible, it explains how the Israelites got from Egypt where they'd been slaves to the promised land.

519
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:33,000
They had to cross the Sinai Desert.

520
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:42,000
And inevitably, given that there was a lot of Israelites and very little growing as it was a desert,

521
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:48,000
they ran short on supplies. God stepped in at this point and sent manna from heaven.

522
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:56,000
This took the form of some kind of seeds that rained down upon the desert and then they were collected the next day

523
01:05:56,000 --> 01:06:02,000
and they provided food for the Israelites, except Friday, when there was a double portion.

524
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:06,000
Because on Saturday, being the Sabbath, they didn't fall.

525
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:17,000
While the Hebrew Bible fails to give a clear description of manna, another ancient Jewish text provides an alternative clue.

526
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:23,000
The Zohar is a collection of spiritual commentaries and interpretations of the Torah

527
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:28,000
and is central to the mystical Kabbalah belief written in the 13th century.

528
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:33,000
The Zohar describes what is called the Ancient of Days as providing the manna.

529
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:40,000
But what was this Ancient of Days? A man, a God, or something else?

530
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:47,000
The text speaks of different sized brains, different sized faces.

531
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:54,000
They were connected with different tubes and different light sources.

532
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:58,000
Theologians have suggested that this is a description of God.

533
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:10,000
However, when looked at from a modern perspective, what is described in the Zohar isn't necessarily a God figure,

534
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:13,000
but rather a type of machine.

535
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:20,000
Intrigued by this information, two electrical engineers, George Sassoon and Rodney Dale,

536
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:27,000
use the anatomical descriptions of the Ancient of Days to design what they called a manna machine.

537
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:36,000
This really is the key diagram of the manna machine as we built it up from the texts.

538
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:42,000
For instance, one here is the mouth, but it's actually the air intake,

539
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:47,000
which carries what is described as the breath of life.

540
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:54,000
The air goes up this tube here, which is described as the brain of the Ancient one,

541
01:07:54,000 --> 01:08:02,000
but is actually a dew still, so that although we were talking about the great sea and the hairs of the beard and so on,

542
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:07,000
at the same time we were able to work out their relative positions,

543
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:14,000
build up the specification of the machine, and find that we had something that was biochemically viable.

544
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:30,000
The machine took in moist morning air and condensed it in the part of the machine that looked like a plexiglass dome.

545
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:34,000
From there it mixed with an algae culture.

546
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:41,000
The culture was treated with energy, such as a strong laser light in order to speed the growth.

547
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:49,000
Of course it needed energy for cultivating the algae, and this was produced, we postulate,

548
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:54,000
in a small nuclear reactor which would produce both heat and light as required.

549
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:03,000
The manna machine was a very dangerous device.

550
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:08,000
We suspect that the reactor that powered the machine was transported in the arc of the Covenant.

551
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:20,000
We have multiple references in the Bible that whoever came close to the arc of the Covenant

552
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:25,000
and didn't know how to operate it was smitten to death.

553
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:36,000
And sometimes people after they encountered the arc started to lose their nails and started to lose their hair.

554
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:45,000
So we have evidence of some type of radiation poisoning which was in direct correlation with the arc of the Covenant.

555
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:56,000
And so the arc of the Covenant housed an extraterrestrial device which was given to the Israelites during their 40 year wanderings through the desert.

556
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:05,000
The manna machine is believed to have supplied a highly nutritious form of green algae, or chlorella, as its food source.

557
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:10,000
It's yet another theory supported by modern science.

558
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:21,000
We found that work in the field of space travel had already been done where the green algae chlorella was bred in tanks

559
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:28,000
and fed to people living in the closed environment and kept them alive.

560
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:37,000
Research studies done by NASA in the 1960s and 1970s established that human life could be sustained for extended periods of time

561
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:41,000
by consuming chlorella algae and nothing else.

562
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:48,000
If it's possible for astronauts to survive on algae, could the Israelites have done the same?

563
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:54,000
The manna machine was a sensitive device.

564
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:59,000
In order to function properly, it had to be cleaned once a week.

565
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:05,000
On that day the machine was taken apart and cleaned.

566
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:11,000
So it's possible that the Sabbath we have today actually originated from cleaning this machine.

567
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:25,000
One theory that one could put forward, of course, is that the machine, although they knew how to maintain it and make it produce the manna,

568
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:32,000
that it did after a time pack up, not work anymore, and that was why they came out of the desert.

569
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:37,000
But if the Israelite survival depended upon the manna machine, where did they get it?

570
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:42,000
Some believe they had stolen it from the Egyptians prior to their exodus.

571
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:50,000
Others suspect extraterrestrials gave it to them as a humanitarian gesture to prevent their starvation in the desert.

572
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:56,000
Either way, the answer, like the Ark of the Covenant, seems lost to history.

573
01:11:57,000 --> 01:12:10,000
Today, scientists have successfully pioneered a process that produces a substance high in protein by means of solar energy, water vapor, and chlorella algae.

574
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:16,000
Could this be a duplication of alien technology from thousands of years ago?

575
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:26,000
They actually built a machine, a machine based on algae culture producing some type of superfood,

576
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:33,000
and we can find a similar type of technology described in the Zohar.

577
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:36,000
Is history repeating itself?

578
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:41,000
One of the big questions is where did the machine come from?

579
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:44,000
And I suppose there are two answers to that.

580
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:49,000
Either it was built on Earth, which is a theory I can't really subscribe to.

581
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:54,000
The other question, of course, is that it might have come from outer space somewhere.

582
01:12:54,000 --> 01:13:05,000
Now that's quite a big leap of imagination, but of course the interesting part is that it actually produces food as is used by spacecraft.

583
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:16,000
If the ancient world contained manna machines, giant mega-saws, and sophisticated aircraft, what was the energy source for all of this technology?

584
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:20,000
The answer may be hiding in plain sight.

585
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:32,000
Of all the ancient structures located around the world, perhaps none is more mysterious or as enduring as the great pyramid at Giza.

586
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:46,000
At a height of 471 feet, the great pyramid stood as the tallest structure in the world until the completion of the Eiffel Tower in 1889.

587
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:55,000
But while other pyramids and temples contain walls filled with hieroglyphics describing their purpose, the great pyramid lacks even a single marking.

588
01:13:55,000 --> 01:14:02,000
What was its function? Why was it built? And what secrets remain hidden inside?

589
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:09,000
Nobody has been able to explain the interior design of this pyramid. It simply doesn't make sense according to our logic.

590
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:17,000
You have narrow tunnels that you have to crouch. You emerge in grand galleries that are 9 meters high.

591
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:26,000
You have chambers that are made of granite where granite doesn't come from. In the air, you have to ship the granite by barges 600 miles away.

592
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:38,000
It's an anonymous site, not a single inscription, not a single hieroglyph, not a single anything. It's just there.

593
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:50,000
Some people speculated that it was a temple and that initiation chamber where people would go to the King's Chamber and become enlightened.

594
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:59,000
There are anecdotal reports about people who have been inside the pyramid and have come out absolutely shaken because it was haunted.

595
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:09,000
Egyptologists believe that the pyramids were built to bury the dead pharaoh.

596
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:22,000
The problem with the accepted view is the fact that not a single dead pharaoh's body has been found inside a pyramid, even when the pyramid was completely sealed, i.e. not a single grave robber could have entered it.

597
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:31,000
The Egyptologists say it's to conceal the body. Well, why advertise it? I mean, there's nothing more visible than a pyramid for miles.

598
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:43,000
And to this day, you would have thought, in this modern age, with all the knowledge we have, we should be able to explain this pyramid. We cannot explain this pyramid.

599
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:54,000
Engineering expert Christopher Dunn has been on a personal quest to unlock the secrets of the Great Pyramid since the late 1970s.

600
01:15:55,000 --> 01:16:03,000
According to him, there are specific clues in the design and construction of this mega monument that can help answer exactly why it was built.

601
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:14,000
When you look at the Great Pyramid and look at the culture that built it, there are brilliant, brilliant engineers. In fact, a lot of engineers say we've come to build the Great Pyramid today.

602
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:21,000
And it was built supposedly 4500 years ago and it was built to the precision of a machine.

603
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:35,000
When I started to do the research and I examined the Great Pyramid with the eye of a functionality, it was built like a machine, perhaps it functioned like a machine.

604
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:46,000
The interior design of the Great Pyramid features four inclined air shafts emanating from the King's Chamber and the Lower Queen's Chamber.

605
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:52,000
Like the Great Pyramid itself, their presence and purpose cannot be easily explained.

606
01:16:53,000 --> 01:17:02,000
The difficulty of building those shafts is incredible. It's a bit like building a chimney at an incline across a house. I mean, as a construction engineer, it's a nightmare.

607
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:12,000
In 2002, a team of engineers and Egyptologists sent a small robot into one of the air shafts connected to the Queen's Chamber.

608
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:26,000
After 65 meters, a stone door blocked its path. A hole was then drilled through it. On the other side was a small room with yet another door leading further up the shaft.

609
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:38,000
Since the discovery of the door, we've had every university, archaeologists, anthropologists, every engineer you can think of, nobody has been able to explain the purpose of these shafts.

610
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:45,000
But were these shafts ever open? And if they were, what might they have been used for?

611
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:59,000
The early explorers that went into the Queen's Chamber found that the walls were coated with a layer of salt. That kind of gelled with a theory that I had developed.

612
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:13,000
It had a dilute hydrochloric acid solution coming down one shaft and hydrated zinc coming down the other shaft. And when they combined in the Queen's Chamber, they created hydrogen.

613
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:28,000
Hydrogen. It is one of the most powerful energy sources in the universe. In the mid-19th century, it was hydrogen gas that helped lift some of mankind's first airships, called zeppelins, into the sky.

614
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:44,000
Today, it is used as a fuel to launch rockets into space. And if, thousands of years ago, the Great Pyramid was actually producing hydrogen, that would make it one of the earliest power plants known to man.

615
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:59,000
The Giza power plant theory is essentially the drawing of energy from the Earth through the Great Pyramid and converting that energy into microwave energy.

616
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:09,000
So, the chemicals actually come in through the shafts into the Queen's Chamber and then they combine and mix and hydrogen boils out.

617
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:14,000
The hydrogen is then lighter than air and it will flow into all the upper chambers.

618
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:24,000
The energy from the Earth is then vibrating the whole pyramid. The vibrations are picked up in the Grand Gallery.

619
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:38,000
So, I proposed the Grand Gallery was a resonator hall and there are 27 pair of slots that actually go up the length of the gallery and then the resonators were mounted in there vertically.

620
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:48,000
Christopher Dunn is theorizing that with resonating galleries, the pyramid shot a microwave out of one of the shafts.

621
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:59,000
And once you started up this power plant, it would have gone on for years, decades, even hundreds of years, without stopping and creating the microwave.

622
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:03,000
And that was a usable energy that could be captured.

623
01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:12,000
Now, we can speculate where it goes from there. It could be collected in the immediate vicinity or it could keep traveling off into space.

624
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:15,000
We don't know. That's the mystery.

625
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:27,000
But if the Great Pyramid was actually a power plant producing energy, was it doing it alone? Or was it part of a larger network?

626
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:34,000
And are there any clues that could tell us what all of that energy was being used for?

627
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:48,000
Perhaps the 20th century's most influential inventor was a Serbian American named Nikola Tesla.

628
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:57,000
His patents on alternating electrical currents and distribution helped establish the commercial electricity industry.

629
01:20:57,000 --> 01:21:05,000
He also made contributions to robotics, radar and computer science.

630
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:17,000
But while Tesla can be credited for many scientific advances, one idea that fell short was his attempt to create a wireless electrical grid.

631
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:25,000
Tesla's project was to have these towers around the United States and around the world.

632
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:31,000
They would broadcast electricity like a television station.

633
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:43,000
Instead of having to strain power lines all over the place, you just transmit the energy through the air or through the ground.

634
01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:54,000
There were a number of demonstrations of this device for wireless power transmission during Tesla's lifetime.

635
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:56,000
So we know the device worked.

636
01:21:56,000 --> 01:22:07,000
It appears that he was using the conductivity of the ground or the air to carry the electric current.

637
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:13,000
Basically in the air, if you put enough voltage on it, you'll get an arc across it.

638
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:17,000
You see that all the time in a fluorescent light bulb.

639
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:25,000
In the ground you have water, mineral salts that can also carry the ions along and therefore carry the electric current.

640
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:35,000
But while Tesla's power towers proved popular in theory, the project ended in financial failure.

641
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:43,000
But could Tesla's idea of wireless electricity have been a rediscovery of an ancient technology?

642
01:22:43,000 --> 01:23:01,000
I believe that what Tesla was doing was trying to recreate what was an ancient power system that was used around the world.

643
01:23:01,000 --> 01:23:05,000
And the way they did this was the use of obelisks.

644
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:20,000
Obelisks as monolithic granite towers which are one solid piece of crystal.

645
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:27,000
And the obelisks themselves were cut to special sizes and tuned like a tuning fork.

646
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:34,000
Could these ancient broadcast towers really have sent electricity up into the atmosphere?

647
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:39,000
And if so, how was the electricity generated?

648
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:47,000
Each of these obelisks would have required some kind of generating power station similar to what we have today.

649
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:52,000
Electricity is created by rotating magnetic fields.

650
01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:56,000
So rotating magnetic fields generate AC power.

651
01:23:56,000 --> 01:24:01,000
The very first power station was built by Nikola Tesla at Niagara Falls.

652
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:10,000
You've got to have some sort of power that's spinning the rotating fields and in this case would be water.

653
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:17,000
So every obelisk would have had to have had a power station similar to like the one at Niagara Falls.

654
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:24,000
It's generating power but the obelisk itself is putting the power into the atmosphere making it usable.

655
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:40,000
And this is similar to Christopher Dunn's theory of the Giza power plant because he believes that the great pyramid was actually sending a microwave beam to a satellite that was in orbit around the planet.

656
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:56,000
That satellite then could have been taking microwave power and then it could transmit it again in theory to some other location on the earth such as say remote island like Easter Island or something like that.

657
01:24:56,000 --> 01:25:06,000
From some of the descriptions of ancient flying machines, it's possible that some form of power beaming might have been used.

658
01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:20,000
And in fact for a lot of the schemes that you see it actually would make a lot of sense because you could put the power beaming station on a mothership in orbit.

659
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:27,000
You're just beaming energy to the vehicle where it's absorbed and turned into propulsion thrust.

660
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:37,000
It actually makes a lot of sense because you're taking the energy system, the power system off of the vehicle and locating it remotely.

661
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:52,000
Electricity, power tools, mega machinery and the ability to explore the heavens.

662
01:25:53,000 --> 01:26:05,000
Have these technologies been available for just the past few centuries or are they of ancient origin only recently rediscovered?

663
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:16,000
Where are ancestors capable of these incredible achievements or might they have come from another source one much more out of this world?

664
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:25,000
Civilizations were much more advanced than we give them credit and literally as advanced as we are today.

665
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:33,000
In my view we need to take this seriously simply because of the scale of the work.

666
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:37,000
We're looking at monuments that took perhaps a century to build.

667
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:41,000
Even today we have difficulty in considering such a project.

668
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:50,000
It just boggles the mind and really to look at those artifacts and to go back in time and say how did they do it?

669
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:56,000
We are kind of cracking the lid open a little bit and looking inside to try and see just what happened in our history.

670
01:26:56,000 --> 01:27:07,000
It's a question which is a scientific question and you constantly have to ask it and the possible answer of have aliens visited in the past could be a potential yes.

671
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:29,000
It's a very specific reason why all of this stuff was built in stone for posterity so it would last so that a future generation would have to stumble across these monuments.

672
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:48,000
We are that society who can look at these ancient monuments and finally recognize that all of this stuff was built as a message for us to see that our past is way different than what we're being taught in school.
