1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
A mysterious cloth bearing a divine image.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,000
It represents the supernatural transformation of a human.

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,000
Gold hats, worn by strange mystical beings.

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:22,000
The wearing of a golden hat would tend to amplify the signal that you were getting from higher-up beings.

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:28,000
And powerful stones, believed to have otherworldly origins.

6
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
It is said that every wish was granted.

7
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Could these mysterious objects simply be the targets of human imagination?

8
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Or are they evidence of something even more profound?

9
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:52,000
We have to wonder if possibly all of these metallic books aren't part of some extraterrestrial library.

10
00:00:52,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Millions of people around the world believe we have been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings.

11
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
What if it were true?

12
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history?

13
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:15,000
And if so, might the evidence be found in the world's most mysterious relics?

14
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,000
The White House

15
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,000
The White House

16
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:37,000
The White House

17
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,000
The White House

18
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,000
The White House

19
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,000
February 11, 2013

20
00:01:51,000 --> 00:02:06,000
President Barack Obama presents a Medal of Honor to Army Staff Sergeant Clinton Romachat for his courageous actions during the deadly battle of Khamdesh in Afghanistan.

21
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:12,000
These 53 Americans were surrounded by more than 300 Taliban fighters.

22
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:20,000
If you seek a measure of that day, you need to look no further than the medals and ribbons that grace their chests.

23
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:31,000
This tradition of honoring brave soldiers by decorating their chest with medals dates back to at least the second century B.C.

24
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:38,000
When the ancient Roman military used sculpted discs of metal to reward superior acts of service.

25
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,000
But why?

26
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:49,000
What is it about the properties of metal that make them chosen objects of adornment and commemoration?

27
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:55,000
The tradition of adoring people with metal really goes back thousands of years.

28
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:09,000
In the case of the Bible, we have stories about how the priests actually had to wear certain medals before they were able to enter the Holy of Holies and make contact with the divine.

29
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:23,000
Today, we are confronted with symbolism. Our heroes are given pins and medals because somehow we set them apart as great people who somehow have superseded the human race.

30
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,000
But in the past, this was to be taken literally.

31
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Do certain medals actually enhance mankind's ability to connect with divine, or some would say extraterrestrial forces?

32
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:51,000
And is this the reason why gold, platinum and silver jewelry, along with other medal adornments and relics, have been so prized throughout human history?

33
00:03:51,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Definitely the belief is that we hold the relic there because the relic is a link either to a deity or to something magical.

34
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,000
Relics can be any number of things, pieces of wood, bits of statues.

35
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:13,000
Literally anything can be a relic if it has been kind of invested with a divine power.

36
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:20,000
And that means you have a piece of the God and therefore a piece of the God's power with you.

37
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:32,000
It seems to have always been the case with human beings that they've wanted to possess items which they thought were either from the gods to do with the gods,

38
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,000
or in some way associated with the gods.

39
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,000
Berlin, Germany, 1996.

40
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:52,000
The Museum of Prehistory and Early History acquires a glittering artifact from an anonymous Swiss collector,

41
00:04:52,000 --> 00:05:03,000
a tall cone-shaped hat crafted from a thin sheet of pure gold and embellished with dozens of sun and moon symbols.

42
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:14,000
It is one of four that have been unearthed at various sites throughout Europe and is believed by historians to date back as far as 1000 BC.

43
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:21,000
What is so important about them is that they indicate that there was a common culture.

44
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:26,000
The images on them represent astronomy, the study of the stars.

45
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:36,000
They also have complicated mathematical implications suggesting a level of philosophical development that's very advanced for what we thought was available at that time.

46
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:48,000
German researchers carefully studied the symbols on the golden hat and concluded they represent a complex mathematical table,

47
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:55,000
one that can accurately calculate the long-term cycles of the sun and the moon.

48
00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:04,000
But how could such ancient people have been able to make such advanced and highly sophisticated astronomical predictions?

49
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:12,000
The suggestion is that they belong to what might be referred to as oracles.

50
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:24,000
People that could fall into an altered state and prophesize could come up with statements relating to the future or other worldly situations.

51
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Though most mainstream scholars believe these mysterious hats were worn by king priests during religious ceremonies,

52
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:41,000
ancient astronaut theorists have another, even more astounding theory.

53
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:52,000
The golden hats are kind of interesting because if gold is something that actually enhances your connection with energies and higher-up celestial beings,

54
00:06:52,000 --> 00:07:00,000
then the wearing of a golden hat, especially in a conical shape, would tend to amplify the signal that you were getting from on high.

55
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:13,000
So it seems to me that ancient cultures logically would build them, yet connected with the gods who had perhaps left them behind and gone back to their celestial birthplace.

56
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:21,000
In the case of the golden hats, what we're seeing there is that all of this technology seems to have been part of a larger framework,

57
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:27,000
whereby once again it seems this is a civilization which made contact with the gods.

58
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:36,000
But we just don't know who would have made these or why, and they're so incredibly unusual and tall.

59
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Perhaps the extraterrestrial gods were wearing some kind of conical hat like this.

60
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:56,000
Could the so-called king priests of the ancient past have been other worldly visitors, utilizing metals unique properties?

61
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:07,000
If so, might additional evidence be found of other ancient peoples using metal relics for advanced, even metaphysical purposes?

62
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Kierbet Kumran Israel, 1952

63
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:27,000
Hidden deep in a cave on the desert cliffs, archaeologists discover a mysterious 2,000-year-old manuscript written on a sheet of copper.

64
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:38,000
Known as the Copper Scroll, this mysterious relic was found at the same site as the ancient religious writings known as the Dead Sea Scrolls.

65
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:46,000
All the Dead Sea Scrolls that have been found were written on either a leather or papyrus.

66
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:52,000
The Copper Scroll is the only one made of copper, so you've got to keep in mind copper was valuable,

67
00:08:52,000 --> 00:09:00,000
and to hammer out a whole scroll would take a lot of time and a lot of technique, so it has to be very important.

68
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:09,000
Scholars examining the language on the Copper Scroll agree it is unlike anything found in other texts of the period.

69
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:17,000
The script that's on it is a little different, but it's not just in Hebrew, it's in or Aramaic.

70
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,000
It also has Greek letters on it, so it's quite peculiar.

71
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:26,000
The thing that makes the Copper Scroll so fascinating is that it mentions hidden treasures.

72
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:36,000
The Copper Scroll lists 64 locations in Jerusalem and around that area that buried treasure is located.

73
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Maybe the key is in the 64th location, it says there's another copper scroll that will help explain the rest of it.

74
00:09:50,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Because we haven't found a treasure yet, I somehow suspect there could be another code within this treasure map, a code within a code.

75
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:09,000
What is the origin of the mysterious Copper Scroll and what is its true purpose?

76
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:16,000
Mainstream scholars and archaeologists have been puzzled by these questions for more than half a century.

77
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,000
Maybe the Copper Scroll is missing a piece.

78
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Many times with treasure maps you need a second piece in order to complete the entire map, so who knows if there's a piece missing.

79
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:42,000
It seems to be an oddball artifact and it's written in metal.

80
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:49,000
And you have now the stories of other ancient books supposedly written in sheets of gold.

81
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Joseph Smith Jr., who began the Mormon Church, he claimed also to have been shown gold-plated books.

82
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:10,000
So we have to wonder if possibly all of these metallic books written in copper or gold plates aren't part of some extraterrestrial library.

83
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Could the mysterious copper scroll have extraterrestrial origins?

84
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:27,000
And is the fact that it is made of copper evidence of a connection between metal objects and other worldly beings?

85
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:39,000
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and believe further proof can be found by examining the similarly strange properties attributed to other mysterious relics,

86
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,000
found all over the world.

87
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,000
Bulgaria's Black Sea Coast, July 2010.

88
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:04,000
Here in the ruins of a medieval church on St. Ivan Island, six small human bone fragments are discovered inside a marble sarcophagus.

89
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:16,000
Through radiocarbon dating and DNA testing of one knuckle bone, scientists conclude that the bones are from the first century AD.

90
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:26,000
But what is even more incredible is the belief by many that the bones are actually those of St. John the Baptist.

91
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:37,000
In Christianity, John the Baptist is specifically important because he is known as the forerunner, the precursor, the one who comes before the Messiah.

92
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:48,000
And in the stories of John the Baptist, he becomes extremely important for Christians because he announces that a greater Messiah is coming after him.

93
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:54,000
And the legends around John's bones were always legends of extreme power. John was a prophet.

94
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:06,000
Now on tour in churches throughout Bulgaria, tens of thousands of the faithful come to visit, pray, and even worship these tiny bone fragments.

95
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:17,000
But why? What is it about ancient bones, even those thought to have belonged to a saint that compel people to come and visit them?

96
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:22,000
Could it be they possess some mystical or other worldly power?

97
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:30,000
The idea of saints' bones and relics having power is something that goes back to the very early days of Christianity.

98
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:36,000
And certainly in the latter part of the Dark Ages and the Middle Ages, they became very big business.

99
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:44,000
If you had saints' relics in your church or in your cathedral, you could bring in a lot of pilgrims who would also bring in a lot of donations.

100
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:52,000
There was a strong belief by the nobility and the royalty that the bones of these saints actually did contain some kind of power.

101
00:13:53,000 --> 00:14:03,000
Humans always want to worship their celebrities, their kings. Whatever was linked with mysteries, humans worship it.

102
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,000
So in antiquity, it entered already into althos.

103
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:21,000
When a high priest died, part of his body, part of his bones were sometimes separated, brought to different countries, and everyone worshipped the bone in an altar.

104
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,000
That still happened in Christianity.

105
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,000
Kushinagar, India, 483 BC.

106
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Siddhartha Gautama, the great spiritual teacher upon whom Buddhism is founded, dies.

107
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:49,000
According to legend, after Buddha was cremated, several small pieces of his body remained intact and were retrieved from the ashes.

108
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:57,000
After his cremation, the ashes were fought over by a lot of his disciples.

109
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:04,000
And finally they resolved the problem by dividing them into eight different parts.

110
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:13,000
When the Buddha's ashes were divided and there's a claim that there's a tooth found there, it was considered as very valuable.

111
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:26,000
Right away when the tooth was given to a king, the relic, the tooth relic itself became associated with the power of kingship.

112
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:34,000
And it's believed that the king who possesses the tooth would be able to rule properly and there would be peace and prosperity in his kingdom.

113
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:42,000
Could such a tiny but tangible relic from the mouth of the dead Buddha really have such power?

114
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:49,000
Is a physical link to a holy and venerated leader really a means of connecting to the afterlife?

115
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:54,000
And even more profoundly, some divine life force.

116
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:03,000
The worship of relics actually is as old as the Buddha's religion itself and many other religions too.

117
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:16,000
The Buddha himself approves of the worship of relics because he believes that his followers need something very concrete to remind them of his presence and his teachings.

118
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:22,000
The relics are supposed to be actually the essence of the saints.

119
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:28,000
So in a way the relics are the saints themselves, so they have the powers of the saints.

120
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:38,000
The importance here is why is it that objects like this can gain such an incredible spiritual value?

121
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:52,000
And quite clearly it's to do with the psychology of the importance of individuals like the Buddha who are seen to be personifications of God or the gods themselves.

122
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:59,000
And that just to own this or to have some part of it imbues you with the same power as the gods themselves.

123
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:10,000
So you have to wonder just why these relics are so important. We give them power, these bones and these teeth.

124
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:18,000
But what they are at least in a scientific manner is a piece of DNA from the Buddha himself.

125
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:27,000
I think they knew that in the far futures the gods, the extraterrestrials would return again.

126
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:41,000
And some of these gods may have said to one of his darlings on the planet Earth, if we find your body, your cells are still existing, then we are able to reconstruct your body.

127
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,000
Cloning dead saints using DNA from their relics?

128
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:59,000
Could this incredible notion be one of the reasons why bone fragments and other human remains have been so prized throughout the centuries?

129
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:08,000
And might this now very real scientific possibility be connected to ancient religious notions of rebirth and resurrection?

130
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:18,000
Perhaps the answers can be found in another mysterious relic that some believe depicts the greatest religious figure of all time.

131
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:27,000
The Cathedral of Turin, Northern Italy

132
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:33,000
Here lies the sacred relic known as the Shroud of Turin.

133
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:42,000
A large piece of linen, which when photographed bears the eerie image of what appears to be a crucified man.

134
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:52,000
The Shroud of Turin is a piece of ancient linen cloth, measures about 14 feet long by 3.5 feet wide.

135
00:18:52,000 --> 00:19:03,000
And what's so important about this cloth is there's a very faint imprint of a human being on the cloth who appears to have been crucified, which matches the Biblical descriptions of Jesus Christ.

136
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:12,000
So many believe that this Shroud, this relic, is the actual burial cloth of Jesus Christ and bears the wounds of crucifixion.

137
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:20,000
The Shroud of Turin has such a fascinating history and the question is, is it authentic?

138
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:28,000
Those who are against it say no, this could easily have been a fake and a body would never have left such an image and so on.

139
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,000
The chemicals of it in bomb body would not do such a thing.

140
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:36,000
But the people who say that are not able to explain how the figure did get there, it's not painted.

141
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:40,000
It doesn't seem to be a pigment that's applied to the cloth.

142
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:48,000
The Shroud has been studied actually by some of the top scientists and researchers in the world.

143
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:56,000
And with all the scientific knowledge and equipment, we still do not know how the image of the Shroud was produced.

144
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,000
And this is what I think continues to fascinate us about it.

145
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:08,000
Regardless of what you believe, whether you are a Christian and a believer and believe that this is the image of the resurrected Christ,

146
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:14,000
or if you just believe that there is some other extraordinary metaphysical event that causes this,

147
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:24,000
you have to be fascinated by the fact that this extraordinary relic could not have been created by any means that in the 21st century we can identify.

148
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:34,000
Could the Shroud of Turin really be a divine relic?

149
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:39,000
Tangible evidence of the existence of an almighty power.

150
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:49,000
In 2011, Italian scientists were able to prove that the Shroud of Turin was created by a supernatural flash of light.

151
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,000
An unearthly flash of light.

152
00:20:53,000 --> 00:21:04,000
In my opinion, the Shroud of Turin is proof that Jesus transformed himself into a being of light and projected himself through the Shroud of Turin.

153
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:11,000
Does the Shroud of Turin actually contain an image of the crucified Jesus?

154
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Or could this sacred object be something else?

155
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:24,000
Might it, in fact, be evidence of an incredibly advanced otherworldly technology?

156
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:32,000
Perhaps the answer can be found by examining another, even more perplexing ancient artifact.

157
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,000
One found on a land known as the Emerald Isle.

158
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,000
The Shroud of Turin is a relic of the Shroud of Turin.

159
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,000
The Shroud of Turin is a relic of the Shroud of Turin.

160
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,000
The Shroud of Turin is a relic of the Shroud of Turin.

161
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,000
The Shroud of Turin is a relic of the Shroud of Turin.

162
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,000
The Shroud of Turin is a relic of the Shroud of Turin.

163
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,000
The Shroud of Turin is a relic of the Shroud of Turin.

164
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:05,000
This nearly 90-foot-tall fortress houses the world-famous Blarney Stone,

165
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,000
a relic that more than 300,000 people come to kiss each year.

166
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,000
It is not in a convenient location.

167
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,000
It's in the castle wall, high up on the outside.

168
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,000
So to kiss it, you've got to dangle over or sneak around

169
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,000
so that you're really at some peril of falling a very great distance.

170
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:33,000
According to legend, it grants whoever kisses it the power to speak

171
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,000
in an articulate and charismatic way

172
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,000
and to flatter and blandish in any circumstance.

173
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:47,000
Here you have a stone that has been kissed and revered by probably millions of people.

174
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,000
Blarney is the gift of Gav, and so the idea is that somehow kissing this stone

175
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:58,000
gives you the ability to talk better or to somehow amplify your verbal prowess.

176
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:05,000
Composed of a single block of bluestone, the same material used at Stonehenge,

177
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,000
this stone relic's magical powers are widely renowned.

178
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,000
But could a stone really have such power?

179
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,000
One that could actually affect an individual's power of speech?

180
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:25,000
And the story is in the 15th century, Cormac McCarthy had a court case coming up

181
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:31,000
and he was concerned about this and called upon the goddess Kleana, the queen of the banshees,

182
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,000
to help him find the right words and present a good case.

183
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:41,000
She did. She said, listen, on your way to court, kiss the first stone you see

184
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,000
and you'll be eloquent, you'll find the words.

185
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:48,000
And he did this, he went to court, he was very persuasive and won his case.

186
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,000
On his way home, he picked up that rock and carried it back

187
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:58,000
and had his workmen fashioned it into a stone and set it into the wall of his castle,

188
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,000
where it is still to be found.

189
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:09,000
When you look at Irish mythology as a whole, it starts to become pretty obvious

190
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:14,000
that these people, such as Kleana, were not ordinary earth-born humans,

191
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:19,000
but were in fact most likely extraterrestrial humans who came to the earth

192
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,000
and shared their technology.

193
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,000
And Blarney being the gift of gab, the gift of talking more eloquently,

194
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,000
is something that may have been impregnated into the stone

195
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:34,000
by an extraterrestrial technology using energetic means that we're not now aware of.

196
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,000
Is it possible, as ancient astronaut theorists suggest,

197
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:45,000
that the Blarney stone is actually evidence of some ancient and other worldly power?

198
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:51,000
Technology that helps to prove that ancient man was in direct contact

199
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,000
with highly developed beings from another part of the galaxy.

200
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:01,000
If so, might the character known in Irish folklore as the goddess Kleana

201
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,000
actually have been a celestial traveler?

202
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:11,000
Perhaps more clues can be found by investigating another mysterious stone relic

203
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,000
located just 160 miles away.

204
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,000
County Meath, Ireland.

205
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:28,000
On top of this mound, known as the Hill of Tara, lies the Lea Fall, or Stone of Destiny.

206
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,000
One of four magical treasures said to have been brought to Ireland by mythical deities,

207
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,000
called the Twaha de Danad.

208
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:43,000
The Lea Fall was a stone that was considered magical.

209
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:48,000
All of the kings of Ireland up until the fifth century of the common era

210
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,000
were said to have been crowned on this.

211
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,000
It seemed to know who the true king was.

212
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:59,000
They say if the true king put his feet up on it, it would roar with delight.

213
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:06,000
It also had the power to give strength to the leader to help him solidify his rule

214
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,000
and in some cases to heal if that was necessary.

215
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:20,000
To mainstream scientists and archaeologists, this stone relic represents nothing more than the coronation stone of Ireland's ancient kings.

216
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:28,000
But according to Irish mythology, the Hill of Tara was also a sacred dwelling place for the gods.

217
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:34,000
The Hill of Tara is a mound and like many mounds in Ireland, like many of these she-mounds,

218
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:40,000
it is allegedly the entrance to the realm of the she, or these otherworldly people.

219
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,000
The word she means both the people themselves, the otherworldly people,

220
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,000
and the mounds in which they are said to dwell.

221
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,000
And the Hill of Tara is allegedly an entrance to the otherworld.

222
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:58,000
The Hill of Tara is considered the sacred center of Ireland.

223
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:05,000
The kings ruled from there for many centuries in ancient and in early history.

224
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:11,000
And this was considered a sacred portal to another dimension to the otherworld.

225
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:17,000
So it had more than the authority of kingship, it had the authority of the supernatural.

226
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:27,000
In Irish mythology, the Tuatha de Danan were gods who had magical powers.

227
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:34,000
They arrived from the lands of the west, these mythical lands of the gods.

228
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:42,000
They were said to come in these dark clouds, which then landed in the mountains of Ireland.

229
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:48,000
And when they came, there were three nights and three days of darkness.

230
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:57,000
So you have to ask yourself what kind of power they had, and were they some kind of celestial visitors arriving in UFOs?

231
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:05,000
Maybe the extraterrestrials found a way to help society make advancements, including the selection of a virtuous leader.

232
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:13,000
It's entirely possible that this stone is not just something that was coming out of a mythology.

233
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:28,000
That the Leofal was an engineered device, that those leaders were able to be assessed by the stone, and even maybe see into their destiny, see into their future.

234
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:42,000
Might the Leofal, a stone relic imbued with power like the Blarney stone, really be evidence of highly advanced knowledge brought to mankind by the so-called gods?

235
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:50,000
And do these sacred objects provide proof of ancient man's extraterrestrial connections?

236
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:59,000
Perhaps the answers can be found by examining strange and unusual relics fallen from the sky.

237
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:10,000
Valley of the Kings, Egypt, November 1922.

238
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:19,000
Archaeologist Howard Carter discovers King Tutankhamen's tomb, containing a treasure trove of artifacts.

239
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:32,000
Among them is King Tut's magnificent breastplate, with a yellow jewel as its centerpiece, a jewel created as the result of a meteorite impact.

240
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:40,000
In Egyptian culture, there was a fascination with Libyan desert glass.

241
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:47,000
And while it's not actually a meteorite, Libyan desert glass is the product of a meteorite impact.

242
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:54,000
Millions of years ago, an enormous meteorite crashed into what is today the Egyptian desert.

243
00:29:55,000 --> 00:30:05,000
And the heat and pressure of that impact melted the sand in the desert, forming a beautiful yellow impact glass.

244
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:10,000
And it crystallizes the sand, it forms glass.

245
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,000
And again, it's wonderful, almost like jewel stones.

246
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:19,000
And they clearly imagined these stones to be celestial, to have been created by the impact of a star.

247
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,000
And therefore, they were given cosmic meaning.

248
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:33,000
Humans have long had a fascination with meteorites, and have fashioned many tools and spiritual objects from them.

249
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,000
But why?

250
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:41,000
There are many magical stories of meteors, meteorites and meteor showers.

251
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:48,000
Escalus in Prometheus Unbound talks about an angry Zeus throwing rocks down at the earth.

252
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:53,000
In the Aeneid, Virgil speaks of meteors.

253
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:58,000
He describes a meteor shower as indicating Troy is about to fall.

254
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:05,000
Such folk believes about meteors, shooting stars, meteorites were common in the ancient world,

255
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:11,000
where clearly a piece of stone from the heavens is worshiped as a divine item.

256
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:21,000
The reason why they were so important was because they inherently had the power of the gods in them,

257
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:27,000
because they were already forged in the universe and they descended from the sky.

258
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:36,000
Meteoric gemstones like Libyan Desert Glass have been venerated throughout history,

259
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:43,000
but one particularly mysterious green gemstone could be the most sought after relic of all time.

260
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:52,000
Moldovite is the name given to a green impact glass of extraordinary beauty and rarity,

261
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:58,000
that's only found in one small region of the Czech Republic. It's very old.

262
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:08,000
Metaphysically, Moldovite creates this strange pulsating energy field that amplifies human thoughts or intention.

263
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:17,000
If you're a loving or compassionate person, it will amplify that, or it can bring chaos if your thoughts and energy and emotions are chaotic.

264
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:29,000
According to some legends, the holy grail, the cup from which Jesus and his apostles drank during the last supper,

265
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:35,000
was carved from a green gemstone that had fallen to earth from the heavens.

266
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:43,000
It is said that there was discord in the heavens involving Lucifer, and a stone dropped.

267
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:51,000
It was a stone that at one time had been the center of Lucifer's crown when he was an important angel.

268
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:59,000
It dropped to earth. It was then a piece of heaven on earth and had great power and was greatly venerated.

269
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:08,000
It was carved into the holy grail, which was not made of metal, but of this beautiful emerald, a precious stone from heaven.

270
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:18,000
Could the green gemstone that supposedly fell from Lucifer's crown have been made not of emerald, but of moldovite?

271
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:28,000
Perhaps more evidence can be found in the legends of another sacred stone that fell from the sky, more than 4,000 miles away.

272
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,000
Yombu Lecombe Palace, Southern Tibet.

273
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:40,000
Here, according to legend, the 28th king, Lattatori Niansen, obtains a magical jewel called Sintimani.

274
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:46,000
It is said to be one of four revered relics that fell from the sky in a chest.

275
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:53,000
The Sintimani stone is a fascinating myth that could well have meteorite associations.

276
00:33:54,000 --> 00:34:00,000
It describes a jewel that's meant to have enormous properties that it can bestow upon its owner.

277
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:07,000
And there are legends that some of the greatest warriors of the world have ever seen.

278
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:14,000
In both Hindu and Buddhist tradition, there are stories relating to a so-called wishing jewel.

279
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:22,000
And it wielded great power and power, and it was the most powerful jewel in history.

280
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:29,000
It is said that it could be used to interact not just with the other world, but the centre of the universe itself.

281
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:38,000
It is said that the Sintimani stone is a very powerful jewel that can be used to help the world.

282
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:43,000
It is said that it could be used to help the world.

283
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,000
It is said that it could be used to help the world.

284
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,000
Not just with the other world, but the centre of the universe itself.

285
00:34:51,000 --> 00:35:00,000
It is said that whoever possessed the Sintimani stone was able to control destiny, that every wish was granted.

286
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:08,000
Now, a stone or an object which is able to change reality, truly that is something which is a piece of technology.

287
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:15,000
And how our ancestors got this is a gigantic question mark, which fortunately our ancestors have answered for us.

288
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:25,000
Their answer is that this came from the sky, that it was given to us by the gods, and that it played a role in this exchange between us and the divine.

289
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:31,000
Could the legends of the Sintimani stone be based on fact?

290
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:43,000
If so, might this other worldly stone, as well as other sacred and mysterious relics, help forge a connection between mankind and extraterrestrial forces?

291
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:52,000
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and believe the ultimate proof can be found in one of the most sacred objects in the world.

292
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,000
Mecca, Saudi Arabia.

293
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:08,000
50 miles from the Red Sea, this is Islam's holiest city.

294
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:21,000
It was here in 2000 BC that Muslims believed the prophet Abraham built the Kaaba, a cube-shaped structure that draws millions of pilgrims each year.

295
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:29,000
But just what is it about this building that is so sacred? And why do so many people line up to touch it?

296
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:39,000
On the eastern side of the Kaaba is a meteorite stone which is embedded in the corner of the Kaaba.

297
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:46,000
According to Muslim belief, this meteorite stone was sent from heaven to Adam and Eve.

298
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:51,000
That stone was used to build the first temple.

299
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:59,000
And this really makes Mecca the most holy place to Muslims.

300
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:09,000
Muhammad himself threw out all of the other gods, deities and statues.

301
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:22,000
But he retained the one strange thing that was there, the black stone, the extraterrestrial object that still worshiped today at Mecca.

302
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:34,000
So you have to wonder why Muhammad specifically chose that object as part of his religion that would remain as part of the Muslim faith.

303
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:40,000
It would have to be some memory of an extraterrestrial event.

304
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:48,000
Might the black stone of Mecca and other sacred relics really possess great power?

305
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:57,000
Could they be gateways, not only to ancient knowledge but to other worlds and even other dimensions?

306
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:11,000
Perhaps the answer can be found by examining what many believe to be the most sacred and powerful of all the earth's mysterious relics, the cross of Jesus Christ.

307
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:21,000
Jerusalem, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

308
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:30,000
According to some researchers, this sacred site is the place where the crucified Jesus was buried.

309
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,000
And after three days rose from the dead.

310
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:47,000
And it was near here in 326 AD that the remains of a relic, thought to be Jesus's cross, were discovered by a Roman empress.

311
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:55,000
Empress Helena was the mother of the emperor Constantine and she was an early convert to Christianity.

312
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:00,000
According to legend, she journeyed to the Holy Land to found a number of churches there.

313
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:07,000
And when she was there, she was drawn to the hill of Calvary where Jesus was allegedly executed.

314
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:12,000
And she had the pagan temple which she found there torn down.

315
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:19,000
And in the rubble of that temple, she allegedly discovered the true cross, the cross where Jesus was crucified.

316
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:28,000
She found three crosses. Well, Christ was crucified with two thieves, so three crosses might be the right artifacts.

317
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:34,000
But to test them, she brought a woman with terminal disease, very near death.

318
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:39,000
To touch the crosses, she touched the first two crosses and her condition was unchanged.

319
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:49,000
When she touched the third cross, she was miraculously healed and Helena declared that to be the true cross upon which Christ died.

320
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:56,000
The true cross, it's sacred, sacred to many, many, many people.

321
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:06,000
And people collect these, or like to say that they may have pieces of this cross because it brings them closer to the one they love.

322
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,000
Or their Lord and Savior call it what you will.

323
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:17,000
Literally hundreds of Christian churches lay claim to the fact that they have pieces of the actual cross that Jesus died on.

324
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:31,000
Like many relics or pieces of saints' bodies, the true cross where Jesus was crucified was believed to have all kinds of miraculous powers, including healing powers and the power to grant salvation.

325
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:42,000
So if you were to touch or own a relic of the true cross, a piece of the true cross, some of that power that Christ had would transfer itself to you through the power of touch.

326
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:56,000
It's a fascinating thought that relics like the true cross could contain some divine energy that will heal people and even perhaps raise them from the dead.

327
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:07,000
So is it possible that there are some kind of extraterrestrial artifacts with some kind of power in them that we don't understand?

328
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:17,000
Could fragments of Jesus' cross like other ancient stones and relics really have harnessed strange extraterrestrial energy?

329
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:23,000
Could legends concerning mysterious healing powers really be true?

330
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:37,000
It's very human for people to want to possess whether it's a piece of cloth, a stone, a follicle of hair to possess an object that means something to them, an object that can perhaps help them in their life.

331
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:42,000
Could these relics assist us in invoking other worldly power?

332
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:49,000
I think we need to be open. We need to be open to that possibility. Clearly our ancestors thought so.

333
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:59,000
Well ancient relics were very important to many different ancient cultures just as I still are today to religions.

334
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:12,000
And the reason for this is that it was believed that they were access points to other worldly environments, wearing the gods, the spirits, the immortals, to earth.

335
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,000
And the gods were the ones who were the most powerful.

336
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:23,000
Throughout history we find that some of our most powerful figures, our most powerful leaders, have gone on relic quests.

337
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:30,000
They're looking for the Holy Grail, the Spear of Destiny, the Key of Life.

338
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:37,000
And the belief is that if we can acquire these relics we will acquire powers beyond human comprehension.

339
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:44,000
Powers that originally came from the gods that will make us more god-like if we can get our hands on them.

340
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:59,000
The relic tradition, these tooth from a deity, the bone from a saint, all of these aspects really tie in that somehow this deity, this saint, is able to link us mere mortals to the realm of the divine.

341
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:15,000
Sacred bones, golden hats, and fragments of sacred objects thought to possess healing properties.

342
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:25,000
Is it possible that these ancient and mysterious relics help to prove that extraterrestrials not only visited earth in the ancient past,

343
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:31,000
but remain strangely connected to us throughout space and time?

344
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:40,000
Perhaps the truth of mankind's origins has been right before our eyes for hundreds and thousands of years.

345
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:48,000
In fabric, metal, and stone, and in the DNA of holy saints and martyrs,

346
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:55,000
who someday, thanks to modern science, may even rise again.
