1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
A 2,000 year old computer.

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,000
It had more complicated inner workings

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,000
than a modern day Swiss watch.

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,000
Giant power plants.

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,000
It's very strange, but it's clearly a battery.

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,000
And weapons, more powerful than anything that exists today.

7
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,000
It roared and then flashes of fire came out of it.

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Throughout the world, there are artifacts and stories

9
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
that point to advanced technology in the distant past.

10
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Could these be products of our ancestors' imaginations?

11
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,000
Or might there be a more profound explanation?

12
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:47,000
It sounds fantastic to us that they could have had some kind of alien technology.

13
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,000
It's clearly what they're describing.

14
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Millions of people around the world believe we have been visited in the past

15
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000
by extraterrestrial beings.

16
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,000
What if it were true?

17
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,000
Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history?

18
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:13,000
And if so, might we find proof by examining mysterious devices?

19
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:32,000
The Geese and Necropolis, Egypt, 1993

20
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:46,000
A team of engineers,

21
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,000
uses a remotely operated camera in an attempt to discover the true function

22
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,000
of what is believed to be an air shaft,

23
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,000
leading from the supposed Queen's Chamber of the Great Pyramid.

24
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,000
First discovered in 1872,

25
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,000
archaeologists long considered these narrow tunnels to be ventilation ducts.

26
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,000
The first to be discovered in 1872,

27
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,000
archaeologists long considered these narrow tunnels to be ventilation ducts.

28
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,000
This robot traveled up this small shaft,

29
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,000
which was too small for a human or any type of device to go through.

30
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
And all of a sudden it finds a closed door,

31
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,000
hinged by two little metal clamps.

32
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,000
According to mainstream archaeologists,

33
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:38,000
the door and metal handles were intentionally built as a symbolic passageway

34
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,000
that the Queen would travel through to the afterlife.

35
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,000
But some researchers have questioned

36
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,000
why this passageway would have been designed with a deliberate blockage.

37
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:58,000
And why, on a plateau filled with monumental pyramids

38
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000
believed to serve as royal tombs,

39
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,000
is the Great Pyramid the only one with such a door?

40
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Egyptologists are very much fond of saying that

41
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:14,000
pyramids are tombs and that they have been robbed at some point in the past.

42
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,000
But the fact is that we have found in the 20th century

43
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:24,000
a number of pyramids whose central King's Chamber, so to speak, is intact.

44
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000
And when they opened to sarcophagus,

45
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,000
they found that sarcophagus to be empty as well.

46
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,000
If the Great Pyramid was not a tomb,

47
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000
what may have been its true purpose?

48
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,000
In May 2011, another team of researchers set out to further explore

49
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,000
the blocked air shaft in the Queen's Chamber.

50
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,000
This time, the crew used a robot,

51
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,000
equipped with a micro snake camera,

52
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,000
to slip through a hole and reveal what was beyond the door.

53
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,000
When they actually penetrated this small door,

54
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,000
they found a hidden room within the pyramid.

55
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,000
What they found was copper fittings, or the metal fittings.

56
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Another feature of the back of these metal fittings

57
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:16,000
was that on one side, the loop looked like it was corroded.

58
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,000
The camera also looked down and scanned the floor.

59
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,000
What we saw was red markings.

60
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,000
My interpretation of the picture was that the camera

61
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,000
was red of markings.

62
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,000
My interpretation of those were electrical symbols.

63
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,000
But why were they there?

64
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Could these artifacts be actual evidence

65
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,000
that electricity once coursed through the structure?

66
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,000
And if so, could the Great Pyramid of Giza

67
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,000
have been built to serve as not a royal tomb,

68
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,000
but a power plant, as some researchers contend?

69
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:04,000
If we dismiss the tomb theory and we look at the pyramid itself,

70
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,000
we see something that modern engineers

71
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,000
can really tune into and understand.

72
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,000
What we have is a very, very precise building

73
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,000
that has the precision of a fraction of an inch.

74
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,000
It's something that is very noteworthy

75
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,000
and not indicative of a simple agrarian culture.

76
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,000
So what we have is something that is almost like a machine.

77
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,000
If the Great Pyramid was a sophisticated machine,

78
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,000
potentially capable of creating energy,

79
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,000
how could it have worked?

80
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,000
Some researchers believe clues can be found

81
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,000
by exploring underneath the structure.

82
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,000
In 2000, maritime engineer John Cadman

83
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,000
proposed a theory that the Egyptians pumped water

84
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,000
from the nearby Nile River

85
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,000
into a small chamber underneath the Great Pyramid.

86
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,000
The pump could then create intense hydraulic pressure

87
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,000
that would cause the entire pyramid to vibrate.

88
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,000
In the subterranean chamber, there is some evidence

89
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,000
that shows that there had been water present in it

90
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,000
that had been water erosion on the floor

91
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,000
and then up in the fin area

92
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,000
and then also because it was a hydraulic pulse generator.

93
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,000
They have a rarefaction wave,

94
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,000
extremely low pressure wave,

95
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,000
which would have struck the ceiling

96
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,000
and the ceiling is actually chipped.

97
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,000
And that would have been from the actual compression waves

98
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,000
hitting the ceiling. That's very evident.

99
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,000
If Cadman's theory proves true,

100
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,000
what would have been the purpose of the hydraulic pulse?

101
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,000
Engineer Chris Dunn believes the answer can be found

102
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,000
by further examination of the shafts

103
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,000
in what some call the Queen's Chamber,

104
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,000
where traces of zinc and hydrochloric acid

105
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000
have been discovered.

106
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,000
I believe the chemical coming in through the northern shaft

107
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,000
was hydrated zinc

108
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,000
and the other chemical coming through the southern shaft

109
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:30,000
and into the chamber was dilute hydrochloric acid.

110
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,000
These are actually seen on the chamber walls.

111
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,000
Dunn suggests that the two chemicals were poured down

112
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,000
through the shafts and then mixed together

113
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,000
inside the Queen's Chamber, triggering combustion.

114
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,000
This vessel represents the Queen's Chamber.

115
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,000
Into the tubes, we're going to pour hydrated zinc

116
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,000
and then hydrochloric acid.

117
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,000
When you bring these two liquids together

118
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,000
and a chemical reaction occurs,

119
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,000
and a product of that chemical reaction is hydrogen.

120
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,000
And you can see the vapor, the hydrogen,

121
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,000
escaping through the chimney.

122
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,000
And there you have the reaction.

123
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,000
Dunn speculates that the hydrogen gas

124
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,000
traveled from the Queen's Chamber into the King's Chamber.

125
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,000
Then, the vibrations from the subterranean pool

126
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,000
energize the hydrogen atoms into a microwave energy beam.

127
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,000
The evidence that indicates the use of hydrogen

128
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,000
can be found in the King's Chamber.

129
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,000
There is a shaft in the King's Chamber

130
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,000
as dimensions of 8.4 by 4.8,

131
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,000
which would be suitable for a waveguide

132
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,000
for a maser or microwave amplification

133
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,000
of the hydrogen gas.

134
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,000
And from there, we can actually propose

135
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,000
many different ideas of what they did with it.

136
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000
The ancient Egyptians demonstrated

137
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,000
an exceptional level of skill

138
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,000
in everything that they created during the Old Kingdom,

139
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,000
but the question remains, did they do it on their own?

140
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,000
Or did they have some access to information

141
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,000
or to the information that they had in the King's Chamber?

142
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,000
Or did they have some access to information or technology

143
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,000
that was not of this Earth?

144
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,000
If Giza was, in fact, a power plant,

145
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,000
could the energy have been used for some other worldly purpose,

146
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,000
as some ancient astronaut theorists suggest?

147
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,000
Perhaps further evidence that advanced technology

148
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,000
really did exist on Earth thousands of years ago

149
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:01,000
can be found by examining yet another mysterious device,

150
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,000
the Ark of the Covenant.

151
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,000
Approximately 17 miles northeast of Jerusalem

152
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:19,000
lies the ancient ruins of the city of Jericho.

153
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,000
Here, archaeologists have uncovered evidence

154
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,000
of settlements dating back to 9,000 B.C.

155
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,000
According to the Hebrew Bible,

156
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Jericho is believed to be where God spoke to Joshua,

157
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,000
the successor to Moses,

158
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,000
and instructed him to march around the walled city

159
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:44,000
once every six days with seven priests carrying rams horns

160
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,000
and followed by the Ark of the Covenant,

161
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,000
the golden chest containing the Ten Commandments.

162
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Then, on the seventh day, under orders by God,

163
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,000
Joshua and the Israelites marched around the perimeter of the city

164
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000
one last time.

165
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,000
But this time, they blew the rams horns.

166
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,000
The walls of Jericho fell

167
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,000
and the city was sacked.

168
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:21,000
In the Old Testament, you see very clear descriptions

169
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,000
in Joshua 6 about the shofar,

170
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,000
which is described as a trumpet that was used in the battle of Jericho

171
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,000
to actually bring the walls down.

172
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:39,000
To religious scholars, the collapse of Jericho's walls was a miracle.

173
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,000
To most modern-day scientists and historians,

174
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,000
the destruction was most probably caused by an earthquake.

175
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,000
But could it have been something else?

176
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Could the Israelites have possessed advanced sound wave technology?

177
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,000
If so, where did it come from?

178
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,000
In the scriptures, we have a fascinating story

179
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,000
about the fall of the walls of Jericho.

180
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,000
Armies were told to circle the wall repeatedly

181
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,000
and then finally blow their horns and down came the walls.

182
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,000
And we know there was a powerful presence, the Ark of the Covenant.

183
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,000
This mysterious sacred item was with them at all times,

184
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:25,000
which of course was part of the event and part of the fall of the walls of Jericho.

185
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:32,000
The idea that some kind of sonic weapon

186
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,000
was used to destroy these huge, thick ancient walls

187
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:41,000
to allow the Israelites to basically take over that city is a fascinating one.

188
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,000
So what kind of technology were they using?

189
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,000
It sounds utterly fantastic to us

190
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,000
that they could have had some kind of advanced alien technology.

191
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,000
It's clearly what they're describing.

192
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:01,000
There is little doubt that the Ark of the Covenant was a weapon.

193
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:08,000
It was described as a weapon famously when the Israelites crossed over into Canaan.

194
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,000
They had to pass by Jericho,

195
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,000
and it could be that there was some technology.

196
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,000
According to many ancient astronaut theorists,

197
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:28,000
Moses and the Israelites acquired a supernatural source of energy at Mount Sinai.

198
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:34,000
This powerful energy source was later contained in the Ark of the Covenant

199
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:39,000
and would have provided the kind of power necessary to amplify Joshua's horns

200
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,000
and make them into a powerful sonic weapon.

201
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:49,000
The Ark of the Covenant appears to be some sort of advanced technology.

202
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:54,000
What's interesting about the battle of Jericho is that this particular use of the shofar

203
00:13:54,000 --> 00:14:00,000
clearly seems to be the same thing that we're seeing with particle beam technology,

204
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,000
death ray technology, thunderbolt technology.

205
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,000
It very clearly seems that once again we have an extraterrestrial technology

206
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:15,000
that the ancient people had at the ready that they could use when needed for military campaigns.

207
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:24,000
But even if the Israelites possessed some sort of advanced extraterrestrial technology,

208
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:30,000
could the amplified sound of ram's horns really bring down stone walls?

209
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:36,000
According to scientists and former astronaut Professor Taylor Wang,

210
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:43,000
recent research into the field of physical acoustics suggests it is a distinct possibility.

211
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,000
Jericho wall breaking apart, if you said it has happened,

212
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,000
caused by acoustic, caused by sound.

213
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:58,000
Well, what possibility has to be somehow a resonance is built in that wall.

214
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,000
It may not be the whole wall, maybe some of the structural material.

215
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,000
When the resonance happens, amplitude gets larger and up.

216
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:12,000
Yes, it could destroy almost anything because what the resonance does is store enormous amount of energy.

217
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:16,000
So you keep on feeding it, eventually it shatters everything.

218
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,000
When you want to know how powerful sound is,

219
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,000
you have to realize that the basic thing that sound is is a pressure wave.

220
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,000
And it will come down to the amount of energy you put into your sound wave.

221
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,000
And whether or not that particular pressure wave you generate

222
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,000
will couple or impact the thing you're trying to destroy.

223
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,000
You can make it quite powerful because you can make a very high amplitude,

224
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,000
very large pressures in the sound.

225
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,000
It might be at a frequency or amplitude where we no longer hear it as sound,

226
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,000
but from a physics point of view it is still sound because it's a pressure wave in the air.

227
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,000
So it can get quite destructive if you put enough energy into it.

228
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,000
You could also think of it as a particle weapon because you're moving air around

229
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,000
and you would just need something to focus the sound, which we know how to do.

230
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,000
And so that would give you a directed energy beam with sound.

231
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:14,000
Did advanced extraterrestrial technology really help the Israelites

232
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:19,000
survive their exodus in the desert, as the Hebrew Bible contends?

233
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:27,000
And if so, might early humans have possessed other equally astounding technological devices?

234
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and believe further clues can be found

235
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:37,000
by examining an object that dates back to the second century BC,

236
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,000
one that functioned as a computer.

237
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Did aliens really inspire our ancestors to build ancient temples and pyramids?

238
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:58,000
And if they came here, did they leave behind any advanced knowledge of physics,

239
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,000
astronomy, or mathematics?

240
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:06,000
If so, is there any evidence that remains to this day?

241
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:12,000
One example might be this one, often described as the world's first mechanical computer.

242
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,000
It dates back over 2,000 years.

243
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:22,000
The Antikythera device was found in 1900 by sponge divers

244
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:27,000
diving off a small island in the Aegean called Antikythera.

245
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:34,000
There was a shipwreck there, and in it was a coral encrusted box,

246
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,000
and it was made of metal alloys.

247
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:42,000
And it then went to the Athens Museum, where a good 50 years later,

248
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:48,000
they were able to x-ray this box, and they were able to discern

249
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:55,000
cogged wheels that were interconnected and give us a very good depiction

250
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,000
of what this thing was, and it is a computer.

251
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,000
It's a really sophisticated machine.

252
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:10,000
It's a very interesting piece of technology because it serves two purposes.

253
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:15,000
One was that it was an astronomical device where you could, by using it,

254
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,000
chart your position to the stars and navigate your way through the seas.

255
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,000
It was also an astrological device so that someone could tell you,

256
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,000
ah, if you were born on this date and your planet sign is this,

257
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,000
then certain things are going to happen to you when the planets are in this alignment.

258
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:35,000
So it was a very interesting piece of technology that literally had

259
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:40,000
more complicated gears and inner workings than a modern day Swiss watch.

260
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,000
And it's found to be dated, I think, like 200 BC,

261
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,000
so it's really an anomaly as to who could have created that

262
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,000
and what it was being used for.

263
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:56,000
When archaeologists first started to examine this thing in the 1950s,

264
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:03,000
they said that they never could conceive of the ancient Greeks having such complicated machinery.

265
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:09,000
And in fact, they said this was tantamount to finding a jet airplane in the tomb of King Tut.

266
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,000
Even older than the Antikythera mechanism,

267
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:27,000
are these carvings on a wall at the Dendera Temple complex in Egypt?

268
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:35,000
To some, the strange designs look eerily similar to objects very much in use today.

269
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:42,000
In Egypt, there is this underground crypt at Dendera that was always secret,

270
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:47,000
and only the high priests had access to that crypt.

271
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,000
It's very hot in there, very narrow, low ceiling,

272
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:59,000
and on the walls you have these reliefs of what looks like ancient light bulbs.

273
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Because we have to question one thing,

274
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:08,000
how did the ancient Egyptians light the inside of their tombs?

275
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,000
According to most mainstream archaeologists,

276
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:20,000
torches were used by the ancient Egyptians to light the pitch black chambers of tombs and temples.

277
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:26,000
Yet nowhere on the ceilings is there even the slightest evidence of soot or smoke residue.

278
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:37,000
There isn't enough oxygen inside those tombs with which to support or feed a flame of a torch.

279
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:43,000
The only remaining solution is by some sort of an artificial light source.

280
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:48,000
And that is, for example, a light bulb.

281
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:56,000
So, as an underground crypt at Dendera, we find reliefs of such light bulbs?

282
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:04,000
But how could the ancient Egyptians have used anything resembling a modern day light bulb without access to electricity?

283
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:10,000
After all, electricity wouldn't be discovered for thousands of years.

284
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:16,000
That is, of course, with the exception of what scientists call the Baghdad Battery.

285
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,000
The Baghdad Battery was discovered in ancient Iraq.

286
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:24,000
Scholars today say there's no way that ancient man was using electricity or light bulbs.

287
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:29,000
So they look at this Baghdad Battery and there's about a dozen of them that have been found in Iraq.

288
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,000
And the only mainstream theory is that they were using it for electroplating jewelry.

289
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:40,000
Two major proponents of ancient alien theory, Jason Martel and Georgiosucholos,

290
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:48,000
demonstrate just how the Baghdad Battery could generate electricity using a modern mock-up of the device.

291
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,000
Well, basically this is made out of a clay pot.

292
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,000
Clay just found naturally in that region in southern Iraq.

293
00:21:54,000 --> 00:22:01,000
And then they would use a small copper lining and something along the lines of an asphalt stopper wrapped around an iron rod.

294
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:09,000
And these all applied together, and the combination of some weak acidic acid, vinegar, grape juice, orange juice, in this case wine,

295
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:14,000
would be able to generate a charge by combining these elements with the iron rod and the copper.

296
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,000
And the combination of that creates an abundance of electricity.

297
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:23,000
So what we're going to do is basically just fill the clay pot with some orange juice here.

298
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,000
I'll try not to spill it too much.

299
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,000
And then we'll go ahead and put the copper rod back in there, copper and iron rod.

300
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,000
We'll give it a moment to kind of fill that copper area there.

301
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:40,000
And then by turning on the voltmeter and applying this to each side, we should be able to generate a charge.

302
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,000
And there it goes, into the positive.

303
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:54,000
And if we give it some time to get the electrolytes really buzzing in there, you'll see that this volt will actually continue to rise.

304
00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:02,000
It is a battery. Everybody agrees with that, but nobody knows why they made it and how they made it.

305
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,000
What mind would think of that?

306
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:11,000
You know, electrical current that several thousand years ago, it's very strange, but it's clearly a battery.

307
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:21,000
The whole idea that ancient civilizations actually had knowledge of electricity and used electricity is an accepted archaeological fact today.

308
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:32,000
Just like in our own civilization where about 200 years ago Benjamin Franklin and other scientists began experimenting with simple electrical devices,

309
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:40,000
we now have evidence that over 3,000 years ago people were also experimenting with electrical devices.

310
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:45,000
Where might it have led them? What other electrical devices would they have been able to create?

311
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:52,000
I believe they probably created all kinds of electrical devices.

312
00:23:52,000 --> 00:24:03,000
Are the Antikythera device and the Baghdad battery evidence that our ancestors really were in possession of advanced technology?

313
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:09,000
And if so, might this technology have had extraterrestrial origins?

314
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Ancient astronaut theorists believe further clues may be found in the story of a top secret Nazi project simply known as the Bell.

315
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:38,000
In a remote valley just outside Ljubljana, Ljubljana, Poland stands a strange circular structure known as the Henge or Flytrap.

316
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:53,000
We are in the middle of a valley which was taken over by the SS and transformed into a secret research, development and industrial facility.

317
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,000
It was closely guarded.

318
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:04,000
Inside of this valley we have three security rings closing specific areas from each other.

319
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:12,000
Inside of the innermost circle this structure stands and it's quite mysterious.

320
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:23,000
Mainstream scholars believe the structure served as the concrete support base to a cooling tower used by a coal mine.

321
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:32,000
But according to Wittkowski and others, the German high command would not have devoted so many military resources here

322
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,000
if the valley contained only an energy plant.

323
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:46,000
They say the Henge was used to test a new highly advanced machine known as Deglaka or the Bell.

324
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:54,000
The Bell Deglaka was probably one of the top secret projects of the Third Reich.

325
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:58,000
It was so secret that it's even unclear on how much Hitler was told.

326
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:15,000
There's a great deal of evidence that suggests that the scientists including Hermann Oberthen, Werner von Braun and others were working on a bell shaped craft that was electromagnetic in its propulsion system.

327
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:31,000
Surviving sketches depict the bell as having a ceramic covering and dimensions measuring 10 feet high and 5 feet in diameter.

328
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:36,000
Its design appears contrary to modern aerodynamic principles.

329
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:47,000
If you're starting to think about a bell shaped for flight, the challenge you're facing I think is making it aerodynamic when you move around side to side and forward and backward.

330
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:54,000
Because you're presenting a very large cross-sectional area to the air and you're going to generate a lot of drag.

331
00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:01,000
So you might be very good if you wanted just like a hovercraft that went up and down, but once you start moving I think you're going to run into trouble.

332
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:07,000
But if the bell was not a new type of aircraft, then what was it?

333
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:14,000
According to some ancient astronaut theorists, the bell may have been a time machine.

334
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:22,000
There is a kind of vortices named solitons which vortices isolated electromagnetically from the outside world.

335
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:34,000
Recent research and experiments show that the link between gravity and electromagnetic physics is much stronger than the scientists out for some time.

336
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:47,000
The laws of the universe being universal, if you take the right electromagnetic field and very high voltage, pulse it or phase it in a certain way, you can get some very strange phenomenon.

337
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,000
You can make things disappear and reappear.

338
00:27:50,000 --> 00:28:06,000
Therefore, it follows the reason that this would be studied and that the Nazi bell was probably an attempt by that regime to develop some type of flying machine that would use these sort of advanced electromagnetic concepts.

339
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:12,000
But was time travel even a possibility?

340
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:19,000
According to German-born physicist Albert Einstein, humans were theoretically capable of it.

341
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:26,000
His theory of special relativity actually showed for the first time that time can slow down when you go very fast.

342
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,000
And so that has an impact on going into the future.

343
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:38,000
It allows you to travel really fast somewhere and your time goes slower than somebody else and you end up in the future relative to what you thought you were doing.

344
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:45,000
The harder one to think about is general relativity where Einstein talks about gravity and how it to describe gravity.

345
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:55,000
And there you can start thinking about space-time and bending it and actually by warping space and time in the right way you end up going backwards in time.

346
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,000
While no records exist, indicating the bell was ever used during the war.

347
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:18,000
As the Allied military forces pushed into Germany, the entire project and its commander, SS General Hans Kamler, suddenly disappeared.

348
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:25,000
SS General Hans Kamler was going to defect in exchange for immunity.

349
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,000
But then by the end of the war he disappeared.

350
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,000
So where did Hans Kamler go and what did he take?

351
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,000
I think he took the bell.

352
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:42,000
Did he create a wormhole? Did he create a stargate? And this is what the Nazis were working on.

353
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:55,000
Did Kamler and the other Nazis really use the bell to escape justice by disappearing across time or possibly to another planet?

354
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:02,000
In the spring of 1945, Germany's war effort collapsed.

355
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:10,000
And as the Allied armies advanced towards Berlin, German scientists and engineers abandoned their laboratories.

356
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:14,000
Hitler's search for a wonder weapon failed.

357
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:24,000
Instead, it was the Americans who scored the decisive technological edge with their development of the atomic bomb.

358
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:35,000
But according to ancient astronaut theorists, a similar and perhaps even more devastating weapon had already existed.

359
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:42,000
Unleashed in an area that is now part of India more than 3,000 years ago.

360
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:53,000
An unmanned aerial vehicle hurtles across the sky.

361
00:30:53,000 --> 00:31:06,000
It travels at supersonic speeds, spitting fire, launching deadly missiles, programmed to seek and destroy.

362
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:14,000
The effect is devastating. High-tech warfare at its most lethal.

363
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:30,000
But what could be a page stolen from a US military black project is actually a description written down over 2,500 years ago in the sacred Hindu text known as the Mahabharata.

364
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:38,000
When it comes to the ancient Indian accounts, they really eye-witness testimony of the gods fighting.

365
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:51,000
When you read the ancient Hindu epics, they talk about horrific weapons, missiles and atomic weapons.

366
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:58,000
Massive laser weapons that are melting and devastating entire cities.

367
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:05,000
I refuse to think that our ancestors came up with these stories out of thin air.

368
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:11,000
When writing was first invented, they wrote down their history.

369
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:17,000
The first things that were ever written down were actual events.

370
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:29,000
How is it that some of the earliest written accounts of warfare describe sophisticated weaponry that humans wouldn't develop for thousands of years?

371
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:39,000
For the answer, ancient astronaut theorists point to numerous descriptions of deadly weapons found throughout the Mahabharata.

372
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:46,000
Many strikingly similar to those used by the military today.

373
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:57,000
One example are the incendiary weapons wielded by Vishnu, which are specially equipped to find their targets.

374
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:02,000
Vishnu has a flying guided missile to the Nare and Astra.

375
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:08,000
And once it is launched, it will destroy everything that is moving.

376
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:14,000
So, you know, according to the description, it is Mohsen detecting a weapon.

377
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,000
Was it pretty much like our modern weaponry?

378
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,000
There is also a weapon that was a heat seeking.

379
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:34,000
Heat seeking is a very effective way of finding something you would fire a missile from behind one aircraft at an aircraft in front of you, specifically targeted against the hot engine.

380
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:42,000
And then you were able to move off from behind the airplane and the heat seeker would still be able to find the target.

381
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:50,000
I am aware that there are forces of nature.

382
00:33:52,000 --> 00:34:02,000
You've got thunder, lightning, earthquakes, but how would you go from witnessing that to a description of heat seeking missiles?

383
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:13,000
In addition to guided missiles, the Mahabharata is filled with accounts of other sophisticated weapons wielded by the gods.

384
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:21,000
In the Mahabharata, 46 different types of weapons are described and each one has a specific function.

385
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:30,000
The Pasupati is a weapon that actually multiplies into seven different arrows, so then it hits seven different targets at the same time.

386
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:37,000
Salva is an anti-god. He can make his vehicle disappear.

387
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,000
So, we're talking about flying objects that are stealth.

388
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,000
He also can put people into sleep.

389
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,000
So, we're perhaps talking about nerve gas.

390
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:55,000
They talk about weapons that are so high tech that it could only be from extraterrestrials.

391
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:10,000
But of all the weapons described in the Mahabharata, perhaps the most deadly was a device called the Ramastra, a weapon that the text warned was never to be used.

392
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:15,000
The Ramastra is described as the ultimate weapon.

393
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:22,000
Once it is launched, it will simply burn everything so it incinerates the entire universe.

394
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:35,000
We're talking about a nuclear blast, a hundred-fold magnitude of the bomb that we have seen or experienced in our own times.

395
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:42,000
It should never be used. And yet, someone was going to make use of that Ramastra.

396
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:47,000
So, that's the dilemma that the books talks about in the Mahabharata.

397
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:55,000
India now has a rocket program and one of their rockets is called Shakti.

398
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:01,000
Shakti means goddess energy. This is also another divine weapon.

399
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:09,000
Indians are now sort of going back to their text or rather, mythology and reliving it by their modern technology.

400
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:25,000
Is it possible that alien beings visiting the Earth thousands of years ago dealt with the same issues of nuclear annihilation that humans are dealing with today?

401
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:38,000
And might the deadly weapons currently being deployed by the world's military really be recreations of weapons first used on Earth by extraterrestrials in the ancient past?

402
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:50,000
Perhaps. But then it should also be possible to predict mankind's military future by searching through still more ancient texts.

403
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:00,000
May 2010, off the coast of California.

404
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:09,000
A powerful new weapon shoots down unmanned aerial drones during secret testing carried out by the US Navy.

405
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:22,000
Firing from a warship at a distance of nearly two miles, a ray of intense laser energy burns through targets traveling at speeds of more than 300 miles per hour.

406
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:32,000
But is it possible that such so-called death rays could have been used before? Perhaps in ancient times.

407
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:41,000
I'm quite convinced that there have been in the past advanced civilizations on Earth that did have such things as the so-called death ray.

408
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:49,000
Whether it was used as a weapon or whether it was just observed being used is a very, very open question.

409
00:37:50,000 --> 00:38:01,000
In 214 BC, Greeks living in the Sicilian city of Syracuse prepared for an attack by a fleet of Roman warships.

410
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:12,000
Though outnumbered by a superior military force, ancient texts suggest that Syracuse was well defended by a mysterious and powerful new weapon.

411
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:22,000
Probably the most famous ancient death ray was the one that was built by the Greek inventor Archimedes.

412
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:34,000
He was able to create this giant mirror and parabolic disk and focus the sun's rays on the fleet and set these ships on fire.

413
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:42,000
So here we have what would be a primitive kind of death ray that really worked.

414
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:54,000
But how could Archimedes have conceived such a formidable weapon, one far in advance of any known at the time?

415
00:38:55,000 --> 00:39:04,000
Researchers suggest the inventor may have drawn inspiration from Greek myths written nearly 600 years before the Battle of Syracuse.

416
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:12,000
Myths that told the stories of gods that brandished cosmic weapons of incredible destructive force.

417
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:20,000
If you look in the Greek tradition, they have a very clear description of Zeus's thunderbolt,

418
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:33,000
which he was able to point at people or at other things that he wanted to explode, hit the button, and what they described as lightning would come out and create a fierce and terrible explosion.

419
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:45,000
But if death ray type weapons had been used in ancient times, might there be some sort of tangible proof?

420
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,000
Perhaps there is.

421
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:54,000
Here, scattered throughout the Scottish countryside, can be found numerous ancient ruins.

422
00:39:55,000 --> 00:40:01,000
Many appear to have been forts or other enclosures, dating back thousands of years.

423
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:06,000
Remarkably, they also appear to have been subjected to fire and heat.

424
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:11,000
So intense, it practically turned the stone structures into glass.

425
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:16,000
It's a process more scientifically known as vitrification.

426
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:30,000
Here you have these stone buildings in which an analysis of the outside comes to the conclusion that they were heated to over a thousand degrees Celsius in temperature.

427
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:38,000
Conventional fire could not have reached this heat. You needed to sustain the burn at a thousand degrees Celsius for a long period of time.

428
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:53,000
According to Celtic legend, there once was a god named Lou, also known as the Shining One, the Sun God, and the God of War.

429
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:04,000
Like the Greek god Zeus, Lou was said to wield a mighty magic spear, not unlike the thunderbolts of his Greek counterpart.

430
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:15,000
When battle was near, Lou would draw out his spear and it roared, and then flashes of fire came out of it.

431
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:23,000
And it tore through the ranks of the enemy, never tired of killing and slaying.

432
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,000
It was one amazing weapon.

433
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:40,000
I mean, how else can we explain all those numerous vitrified forts where the surface of the stone is as smooth as glass?

434
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:48,000
And these spots can only be found in very concentrated areas through Northern Scotland.

435
00:41:49,000 --> 00:42:01,000
All these descriptions of sophisticated weaponry sounds almost like science fiction, but is it really? Because we have those weapons today.

436
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:13,000
And I think that all the stuff that we have today has been around before and that our past is not science fiction, but science fact.

437
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:24,000
Deadly laser beams, acoustic weapons, time machines.

438
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:32,000
Were these mysterious devices really in the possession of our ancestors thousands of years ago?

439
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:38,000
And if so, could they have been built with the help of extraterrestrial beams?

440
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:54,000
Perhaps as our own technology continues to advance, we will come closer, not only to our future, but to a rediscovery of our past and a reconnection with our alien ancestors.
