1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Giant volcanic rock walls rise up from the sea.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,000
We consider the sheer scale of the nanodual construction site.

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,000
It's mind-boggling.

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Just how were these massive structures built and why?

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Ancient astronaut theorists, Giorgio Succolos and David Chondris

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,000
embarked on an incredible journey to these remote ruins in search of answers.

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Wow, look at this.

8
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:37,000
250 million tons of basalt just piled up and in artificial islands.

9
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Will they solve the mystery of one of the world's most back-lane sites?

10
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,000
It should be getting close to the wall.

11
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,000
So as soon as you get close to those stones, it disconnects.

12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,000
That's so strange.

13
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,000
The more you know, the more mysterious it gets.

14
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:59,000
There is a doorway in the universe.

15
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Beyond it is the promise of truth.

16
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,000
It demands we question everything we have ever been taught.

17
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,000
The evidence is all around us.

18
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,000
The future is right before our eyes.

19
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,000
We are not alone.

20
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,000
We have never been alone.

21
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,000
The Pacific Ocean, January 1836.

22
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:43,000
The British-cutter Lantan arrives at the shores of the Micronesian island of Pongpei.

23
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,000
It is one of the first European expeditions to reach this remote landmass,

24
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:54,000
which is located roughly 2,500 miles northeast of Australia.

25
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,000
The ship surgeon, identified only as Dr. Campbell,

26
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:04,000
writes about a megalithic site that stands off Pongpei's southeastern shore.

27
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:10,000
He speculates that the massive structures are as old as the Egyptian pyramids

28
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,000
and must have been the work of great men.

29
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,000
It is one of the earliest accounts of what will later be known

30
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,000
as Non-Middle.

31
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Non-Middle is this amazing construction.

32
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,000
It's a full-on city.

33
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,000
When pilots during World War II would fly over that part of the Pacific,

34
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:37,000
they would look out their windows and they would see what essentially was described as the Venice of the Pacific.

35
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,000
So that became one of its nicknames.

36
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Today, much of Non-Middle is hidden beneath dense vegetation,

37
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:51,000
making it appear as though the edge of Pongpei extends further out into the ocean.

38
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:58,000
But in reality, it is an 11-square-mile complex consisting of more than 100 man-made islets,

39
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,000
standing atop a submerged coral reef.

40
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Archaeologists estimate that to construct the site, the builders used 250 million tons of basalt.

41
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:17,000
A black rock that forms when basalt lava from a volcano cools and becomes solid.

42
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:23,000
Some of the basalt logs and blocks weigh upwards of 50 tons.

43
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Nanmedal is this mysterious island in the middle of nowhere.

44
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:41,000
You have at least 600 miles in every direction where there is absolutely nothing.

45
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:47,000
And so to find this incredible megalithic structure there,

46
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,000
you have to wonder why that place existed in the first place.

47
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:58,000
When we consider the sheer scale of the Nanmedal construction site, it's mind-boggling.

48
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:05,000
Why would they need this scale of construction on a tiny island in the middle of nowhere?

49
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:11,000
It is a complete mystery who exactly constructed it and when.

50
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:18,000
Historians have attributed the megalithic construction to the Sondallur dynasty.

51
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:26,000
The Empire ruled over Nanmedal for approximately 500 years from 1100 to 1628 AD.

52
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:32,000
But speculation that they were the builders of Nanmedal has been the subject of controversy.

53
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:38,000
As many believe that an accurate dating of the structures is virtually impossible to determine.

54
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,000
It's difficult really to put dates on Nanmedal.

55
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:49,000
Currently mainstream archaeologists are giving the city a date of about 1100 AD.

56
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:55,000
And they're coming up with that date by dating some of the coral rubble that's there.

57
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:04,000
What I think of there is that this is the date of the last repair work on this amazing city.

58
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,000
And that the city itself was actually built much earlier than that.

59
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:14,000
The thing is they left no records, they left no literature, no history, no art.

60
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:19,000
Nothing that says that they had these advanced technologies or concepts like mathematics

61
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,000
that would enable them to build such an archaeological wonder.

62
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:28,000
So it leaves this great mystery of who actually constructed Nanmedal and why.

63
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Baltimore, Maryland, September 16th, 2019.

64
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:42,000
A team of scientists backed by the U.S. Department of State Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation

65
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:49,000
completes a six-month project to conduct the first LIDAR survey of this world heritage site.

66
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:55,000
LIDAR utilizes laser wave pulses to create a 3D representation of an area

67
00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:01,000
and allows unprecedented access to otherwise impenetrable locations.

68
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:11,000
This recent LIDAR survey at Temwin Island at Nanmedal indicates that there was a specially designed irrigation system

69
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:18,000
that could support people on this relatively small island adjacent to Panape

70
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,000
and then Nanmedal is built there too.

71
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:28,000
So who then would have built such a sophisticated irrigation system

72
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,000
which no one knew about until this recent LIDAR survey?

73
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:37,000
And it doesn't seem that the so-called builders, the Sautilares, were the builders of this.

74
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:43,000
While the study continues to credit the construction of Nanmedal to the Sautilares,

75
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:49,000
many researchers suggest that the oral history of the people of Panape contradicts this notion.

76
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:55,000
This recent LIDAR survey is sensational because the big mystery about Nanmedal was always

77
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,000
where did the people get their food from or their water?

78
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,000
And according to the local population, it had to be boated in.

79
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:09,000
But if you now look at this new LIDAR survey, which suggests that there is an artificial irrigation system on Temwin,

80
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,000
well, they could have collected the water right there,

81
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:21,000
and this leads me to think that the Sautilares appropriated whatever was at Temwin Island and Nanmedal.

82
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:29,000
Does the LIDAR survey prove that the conventional theories crediting the Sautilares as the creators of Nanmedal are wrong?

83
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:34,000
But if so, who built Nanmedal and why?

84
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,000
September 2019

85
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,000
Intrigued by the results of the recent LIDAR survey,

86
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:53,000
ancient astronaut theorists, Georgiosuchilos and David Childress embark on a journey to the remote island of Panape.

87
00:07:53,000 --> 00:08:00,000
They are hoping to find evidence that could shed new light on what has become a centuries-old mystery.

88
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Here we are.

89
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,000
It's exciting.

90
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:08,000
This expedition is the first for Georgios, but David's fifth visit to the megalithic site.

91
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,000
All right, hello.

92
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Hi, Gus.

93
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,000
This is our guy.

94
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,000
How are you, Gus?

95
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Welcome to see you.

96
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,000
At Mangrove Bay on the island's north shore,

97
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:21,000
Georgios and David meet up with Mike Rinesha's National Historic Preservation Officer, Gus Kohler.

98
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,000
So, ready to go?

99
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,000
Let's get going, yeah.

100
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,000
From here, they will travel by boat to Nanmedal.

101
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Nanmedal is one of the last ancient mysteries that I have yet to see,

102
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,000
and it's been 30 years since I've wanted to come here,

103
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:41,000
and I cannot wait to see what awaits us and what better guide than David Childress?

104
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Nanmedal is the eighth wonder of the world.

105
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,000
It's one of the most amazing megalithic sites that I've ever seen,

106
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,000
but it's very little known.

107
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,000
The archaeologists who come here...

108
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,000
What do they say?

109
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,000
Yeah, what they...

110
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,000
How do they say it was made, Nanmedal?

111
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,000
Everyone has their own theory.

112
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:07,000
If you imagine, if you carry it, you know, it's very uneven terrain.

113
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,000
You've got mountains, you've got valleys.

114
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,000
Very rugged.

115
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,000
Very rugged.

116
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,000
Very rugged.

117
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:17,000
And then the question of putting it or having it hung underneath a boat...

118
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,000
I mean, we've tried to carry locks, small ones on rafts,

119
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,000
tried to imitate out...

120
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,000
It's just impossible.

121
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,000
They can't do it.

122
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,000
Really?

123
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,000
So you have actually tried to do it the way that mainstream archaeology suggests,

124
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,000
and it didn't quite work?

125
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,000
Not with the rafts that we had.

126
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:39,000
According to mainstream scholars, bamboo rafts transported the blocks used

127
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:44,000
in the construction of Nanmedal, but Gus Kohler does not agree.

128
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:49,000
As far as he's concerned, this method has repeatedly been tested,

129
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:54,000
and has failed, even when the smallest of basalt columns are used.

130
00:09:54,000 --> 00:10:00,000
One of the most recent attempts was made for a television documentary in 1995.

131
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:06,000
After several attempts, they were unable to demonstrate how this would be done,

132
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,000
even with smaller blocks weighing only one ton.

133
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:16,000
After a 90-minute boat ride, David and Giorgio get their first look

134
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,000
at the massive basalt walls of Nanmedal.

135
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,000
All right, so here we go.

136
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Here's the massive sea wall here, but it's just huge.

137
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Look at these giant stones, how they're piled up here.

138
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,000
But it's just huge.

139
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:39,000
It's just 250 million tons of basalt just piled up

140
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,000
and into giant walls and artificial islands.

141
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,000
It boggles the mind.

142
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,000
It's just so incredible.

143
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,000
Some of these blocks are just massive, massive.

144
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,000
Huge.

145
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:59,000
The first time I laid eyes on Nanmedal, I thought it was prehistoric.

146
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:07,000
This place potentially is thousands of years older than what mainstream archaeology suggests.

147
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,000
Nanmedal astounds you when you see it,

148
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:17,000
but most archaeologists really don't want to open this Pandora's box

149
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:26,000
of what is there on this island because it's not easily explained by mainstream archaeology.

150
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Rufino Mauricio, the director of the Federal States of Micronesia Office of National Archives,

151
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:40,000
is among many who believe that the secret to Nanmedal's origins may not be a terrestrial one.

152
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:46,000
The existence of Nanmedal itself continues to pass on people

153
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,000
because it welcomes all kinds of possibilities,

154
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:57,000
including possibilities of people from the outer space influencing what was built here.

155
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,000
People from outer space?

156
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,000
It is a question that Giorgio and David are determined to answer.

157
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,000
And as the first step in their investigation,

158
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,000
they are eager to make a closer examination of the site

159
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,000
and investigate the details of its baffling construction.

160
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,000
So here we're just on the edge of Tamuen Island.

161
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,000
Amazing.

162
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,000
After docking on Pompey's Tamuen Island,

163
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:34,000
ancient astronaut theorists Giorgio Sucalos and David Chondris

164
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,000
are now approaching the ancient ruins of Nanmedal by land.

165
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:45,000
With them is Micronesia's National Historic Preservation Officer, Gus Coler.

166
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,000
Okay, we're going to make a left up there.

167
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,000
A left up here, okay.

168
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,000
This is it, huh?

169
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,000
This is it.

170
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:59,000
To get an expert opinion on the construction of this staggering megalithic complex,

171
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:05,000
they have enlisted UCLA Professor of Structural Engineering, Dr. Henry Burton.

172
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,000
I'm a structural engineer, so I think about how to design things

173
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,000
to make sure that they move through structures in a way that they're stable.

174
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000
They're okay back there.

175
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:21,000
So my role is to bring a modern perspective on the structures that we're seeing here in Micronesia.

176
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Wow, look at this.

177
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,000
Amazing, huh?

178
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,000
That's amazing.

179
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,000
I mean, look at some of those.

180
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,000
I know.

181
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,000
Look at that guy.

182
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:38,000
So here's this huge wall here, full of prismatic basalt.

183
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,000
How would you build that then today?

184
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,000
Well, you'd certainly need cranes, I can tell you that.

185
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:51,000
Even for some of these smaller blocks you're talking about on the order of tens of tons.

186
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,000
So how would you build this if you didn't have any cranes?

187
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:04,000
Well, that I can't, I can't, yeah, I can't think of any way that you'd be able to build this.

188
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Because one would argue perhaps this was done with some sort of scaffolding,

189
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,000
but wouldn't you need really strong trees?

190
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:20,000
And they don't really have strong trees here to build that type of scaffolding.

191
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,000
Yeah, it's a mystery to me.

192
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,000
I can't imagine how it could be built without cranes.

193
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:32,000
So Gus, what is your tradition of how they built these walls?

194
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,000
Well, according to our oral history, these rocks came from the north,

195
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,000
we're in the Saudis, this area in the Saudis.

196
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:45,000
And in fact, the recent studies have been able to collaborate that 40% of these rocks actually came from the north.

197
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,000
And that is distance wise how long, how far?

198
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,000
Up to 20 miles maybe?

199
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,000
Just imagine moving that boulder right there.

200
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,000
How many people would it take to move that?

201
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,000
What kind of a boat would you have that you could put that boulder on?

202
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,000
Well, I mean, you'd be talking about a barge, right?

203
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:10,000
So there are barges that hold up to hundreds of tons.

204
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,000
They have hundreds of tons in terms of capacity.

205
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,000
So that's what you're talking about.

206
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,000
You're talking about basically shipping barges.

207
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Giant shipping barges.

208
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,000
Yes.

209
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,000
Like what we have today.

210
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:30,000
The idea that people actually drag these things across a rugged terrain or on rafts is absolutely preposterous in my opinion.

211
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:45,000
The bottom line is that it is an impossibility to move 250 million tons of basalt from one side of the island to the other without modern technology, without modern machinery.

212
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:57,000
As a heavy rain suddenly sets in, the team makes its way through the ancient site and towards a remarkable feature in one of the basalt walls.

213
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,000
So the weather here changes every 30 seconds?

214
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,000
Yeah, welcome to Bonbe.

215
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:13,000
For structural engineer Henry Burton, just as impressive as the size of the stones used to construct non-Madame, is the engineering knowledge the ancient builders must have had.

216
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:23,000
So what's interesting about this is if you look at the doorway in any modern building and you open up the walls, you'll find a beam directly over the doorway.

217
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:28,000
And why this type of beam is important is because it supports all of the load that's above it.

218
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,000
It's called a lintel, right?

219
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,000
So that's actually a structural element that's used in design.

220
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,000
This is interesting because this is actually in bending, right?

221
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,000
It's subtle, but this is actually a bending action that you're seeing here.

222
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,000
And it becomes a little bit more interesting when you have to do the design.

223
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,000
What type of mathematics or physics is involved here?

224
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,000
Well, there are several things you have to think about.

225
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,000
So first you'd have to think about the load that's being placed on this, right?

226
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,000
Then you would have to consider the structural mechanics.

227
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,000
So you'd have to consider the cross-sectional properties of this thing.

228
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,000
You would have to consider the material properties.

229
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:08,000
Now, if we're talking about sort of what governs the bending shape of this thing, then there's some actual calculus involved in understanding that.

230
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:15,000
Dr. Burton said that in order to calculate these stress levels,

231
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:19,000
he would need advanced mathematics such as calculus.

232
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:29,000
And that is a pretty tall order because even archaeologists would have to admit that calculus did not exist in the 11th century AD.

233
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:36,000
Calculus for all intents and purposes was not invented until the 17th century AD.

234
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,000
So gentlemen, we're going to cross.

235
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,000
All right, let's do it.

236
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:54,000
Although no inscriptions of any kind exist on the stone structures,

237
00:17:54,000 --> 00:18:02,000
in 1907 excavations were performed in areas believed to be ceremonial temples and tombs.

238
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:07,000
So this is the central part of Nandoas, the ceremonial center.

239
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,000
This is unreal.

240
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,000
Right up front, you'll see a tomb.

241
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:18,000
Isn't this great? This is something else, isn't it?

242
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,000
This is extraordinary.

243
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:30,000
So this area is the main ceremonial center of Nandoas. This is where they perform all the rituals.

244
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,000
And then this was some type of a tomb at some point?

245
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,000
They said it was a burial tomb of some of the chiefs.

246
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,000
Okay.

247
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,000
But they're not really sure that it was a tomb, are they?

248
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,000
It was excavated during the German time.

249
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,000
And what did they discover? Did they discover bones?

250
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:51,000
Nobody knows for sure because the guy who did the excavation died the very next day.

251
00:18:52,000 --> 00:19:01,000
And then later some of the excavated material from here was put on a ship and that ship sank in the Marshall Islands and everything was lost.

252
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,000
So the excavator died and the ship sank.

253
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,000
So is this similar to the curse of the pharaohs?

254
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:14,000
Because also in ancient Egypt they were saying that if you excavate something, you'll have a curse and you die.

255
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000
And some people have died.

256
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:22,000
Well, what I'm trying to explain is that the local people believed that it was because he disturbed this area.

257
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,000
Although Pompey is home to 34,000 people,

258
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:33,000
Narn-Medal is completely uninhabited and has been for centuries.

259
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:39,000
Among the reasons is that the native islanders believe this ancient site is cursed.

260
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,000
There's all kinds of taboos about visiting this place.

261
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,000
Like it's got ghosts there.

262
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:53,000
The local islanders believe that the city of Narn-Medal is cursed and they believe that if they spend the night there, they'll die.

263
00:19:53,000 --> 00:20:00,000
The islanders say that at night there are lights that move around in the city.

264
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Even today few locals also come here today.

265
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:07,000
I mean it's a sacred place, it's taboo because they believe this area.

266
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:12,000
This whole place is either good or bad spirits but it's got spirits roaming this area.

267
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:17,000
An unexplainable death after the opening of a sacred tomb.

268
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:22,000
All evidence gathered from the site mysteriously lost at sea.

269
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:31,000
Could Narn-Medal be home to something that mankind is not yet met to discover?

270
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,000
Man oh man.

271
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,000
Look how tall that is.

272
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:51,000
While visiting the ancient site of Narn-Medal, ancient astronaut theorists Giorgio Succolos and David Chondras,

273
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:59,000
along with their guide Gus Kohler and structural engineer Dr. Henry Burton have traveled to the site of Narn-Dawas.

274
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:04,000
The royal mortuary said to belong to Narn-Medal's original builders.

275
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:09,000
This is supposed to be the biggest stone here at Narn-Dawas.

276
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,000
This cornerstone right here?

277
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:15,000
This thing, it's supposed to be the biggest of all the stones here.

278
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,000
Henry, do you think you can calculate the weight of this?

279
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,000
Yeah, we can certainly estimate it.

280
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:25,000
I have a measuring tape, we can estimate the volume and we know the density so that can give us the mass.

281
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,000
Alright, let's do that.

282
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,000
Yeah, so this is about four meters.

283
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,000
Alright, here's the far corner here.

284
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:40,000
Using the dimensions and the density of one of the basalt stone blocks, Dr. Burton calculates its weight.

285
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,000
250.

286
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,000
250.

287
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,000
Alright, so based on the measurements you're looking at a weight of about 54 tons.

288
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,000
54 tons then.

289
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,000
So 50 times give or take.

290
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:59,000
And you have one, two, three, four of those monoliths essentially stacked on top of each other at a height of 40 feet?

291
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:05,000
So Gus, what is then the oral history of moving this stone on the island?

292
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:11,000
Well, according to the legends, the stones were flown up here.

293
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,000
Rocks were brought from the north and they were flown up here.

294
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:26,000
For generations, the people of Pompeii have told the story that Non-Midal was constructed by strange visitors through a process of levitation.

295
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:38,000
It is this legend that is suggested to ancient astronaut theorists that Non-Midal is not only an ancient megalithic structure, it is also an extraterrestrial one.

296
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:47,000
So we have in the oral traditions a story about two brothers, Olesopa and Olesipa.

297
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,000
They managed to construct what you know today as Non-Midal.

298
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:57,000
According to oral histories, the stones flew to the Non-Midal area.

299
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,000
How did they fly there? We don't know.

300
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:06,000
The two brothers who started Non-Midal, according to the Bon-Pen legend, were foreigners.

301
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,000
They were not from here, so we don't know where they were from.

302
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:17,000
According to legend, the twin sorcerers who created Non-Midal were of giant proportions.

303
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:27,000
Much like the legends of Easter Island, where it is said that giants magically floated the stone Moai statues into place.

304
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:35,000
Similar stories involving levitation are associated with numerous other megalithic sites, like Stonehenge in England.

305
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,000
The Great Pyramid in Giza, Egypt.

306
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,000
The Ushma Pyramid in the Yucatan Peninsula.

307
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,000
And Kumapunko in Bolivia.

308
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:51,000
There are other stories around the world that say the exact same thing.

309
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:57,000
How gigantic stones were moved into place as if by magic.

310
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,000
And you have to ask yourself, is there a connection?

311
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:06,000
Did all of our ancestors receive the same knowledge from the extraterrestrials?

312
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,000
And the answer to that is a resounding yes.

313
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:17,000
We have done scientific studies and 40% of the rocks that come from this side of the earth came from the north.

314
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:22,000
So it does kind of collaborate our oral legend that it came from the north.

315
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,000
The other 60%.

316
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,000
I think they don't know where it came from.

317
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,000
But it's not from here, right?

318
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,000
Nobody's been able to source that.

319
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,000
So yeah, 60% of the stones, they don't know where they came from.

320
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:38,000
That's incredible that the 60% is essentially still a mystery, yes?

321
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:51,000
For decades, mainstream archaeologists have been frustrated by their failure to identify this source for much of the basalt used in the construction of Nhan Madal.

322
00:24:51,000 --> 00:25:03,000
But recently, a growing number of scientists have become convinced that it came from a volcanic outcropping located 25 miles northeast of Nhan Madal called Huysan Malik.

323
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:07,000
The unusual formation extends over 400 feet into the air.

324
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:15,000
And incredibly, the rock used to construct Nhan Madal appears to have been extracted from the least accessible part of the mountain.

325
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,000
The very top.

326
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,000
But how?

327
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:27,000
According to the oral history of Pompeii, the basalt was taken by what the natives referred to as a giant bird.

328
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:36,000
There's one story that says that at some point there were these giant roosters that lived on top of that mountain.

329
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:43,000
And this rooster took these basalt blocks and flew them over to Nhan Madal.

330
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:55,000
Now, monster roosters do not exist, so my mind always goes to misunderstood technology, machines that were provided by the extraterrestrials.

331
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:05,000
I believe that the islanders are correct when they say all those stones were flown through the air.

332
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:09,000
Because I can't see how it was done in any other way.

333
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:21,000
As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, the local legends, along with hard evidence that basalt appears to have been excavated from the top of Huysan Malik,

334
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:28,000
add credence to the idea that advanced alien technology was used in the construction of Nhan Madal.

335
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:37,000
And to help prove their theory, Georgiosuchlos and David Chondris, along with structural engineer Dr. Henry Burton,

336
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:42,000
traveled 25 miles across the island to visit the nearest basalt quarry.

337
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,000
Man, look at this.

338
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:45,000
Wow.

339
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,000
What a quarry.

340
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:50,000
So how does one free the basalt from this wall?

341
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:56,000
Yeah, no, it would certainly require some specialized tools, some type of excavator, some type of drill tip.

342
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:03,000
Once you start taking rocks off, depending on how much room you have to drive things up, depending on the size of the blocks,

343
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,000
you might need a crane to sort of move things around.

344
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,000
You would need some type of machinery to be able to do that today.

345
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:16,000
How did people from at least a thousand years ago remove these blocks from this quarry?

346
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:25,000
They had to somehow pry these columns out of the cliff and, you know, remove them so that they would be, yeah,

347
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:31,000
a standalone piece of prismatic basalt and then move it, millions of tons of it.

348
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:41,000
I would think that, yeah, there was very much a special survey done of this island looking for material that could be used to build.

349
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,000
Right.

350
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,000
And I would say that an aerial survey would accomplish all of that.

351
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:56,000
Yes, or any type of, you know, advanced radar technology that, in my opinion, existed with the extraterrestrials at the time.

352
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:05,000
For Giorgio and David, the more they learn about non-Madal from the weight of the basalt columns to the distance they had to be transported

353
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:13,000
to the tools that would be needed to quarry the rock, the more difficult it becomes to explain how all of this could have been accomplished

354
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,000
without the help of advanced extraterrestrial technology.

355
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:28,000
Nevertheless, according to the oral history of Pompeii, the most compelling evidence cannot be found by examining the megalithic structures themselves,

356
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,000
but what lies beneath them.

357
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:51,000
In search of further clues to help solve the mystery of non-Madal, David Childress and Giorgio Succolos meet up once again with historical preservation officer, Gus Kohler.

358
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,000
You guys ready for a trip?

359
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,000
Yes.

360
00:28:54,000 --> 00:29:02,000
Gus has provided access and underwater drones so they can get an additional perspective on the ruins of non-Madal.

361
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:14,000
With their drone operator, Ross Conklin, David and Giorgio head out towards an area where it has been reported that there are a number of incredible structures that lie hidden under the water.

362
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:21,000
Structures that some believe are part of an incredibly ancient submerged city called Con Aue So.

363
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:30,000
According to oral history, non-Madal is supposedly built above Canemoiselle.

364
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,000
And it's deep under the water. It's another city.

365
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,000
It's another city.

366
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,000
It's different than non-Madal.

367
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,000
It's a second city.

368
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:44,000
Could it be that the coral reef itself is that city and the coral's grown over it?

369
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,000
It's very possible.

370
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:52,000
After a short trip across the shoreline, the team arrives at their destination.

371
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:59,000
So when you were scuba diving here about 30 years ago, you saw basalt columns encrusted in coral.

372
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,000
That's what we think. We think they're basalt column. We don't know.

373
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:11,000
So wouldn't that correlate with an extreme age if you have columns encrusted in coral?

374
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,000
It would have been. I mean, it's about 80 feet deep or so.

375
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:21,000
And it would mean that ocean levels were 80 feet lower than they are today whenever they built that.

376
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Right. And that would mean that we're talking 12,000 years ago at least.

377
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,000
Like the last Ice Age.

378
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,000
Right.

379
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:33,000
So, yeah, this city would be 12,000 years old or older.

380
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,000
12,000 years old?

381
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:44,000
Is it possible that extraterrestrials were not only responsible for constructing the incredible non-Madal complex,

382
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:48,000
but also an earlier structure that is now beneath the water

383
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,000
and that they are still accessing to this day?

384
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:58,000
In many ancient texts, there can be found accounts of a great flood

385
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:05,000
wiping out a previous civilization of humans, such as in the Sumerian epic of Gilgamesh,

386
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:12,000
the Egyptian Edu creation texts, the Vedic texts of India, and the Bible's book of Genesis.

387
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:18,000
Today, more and more scientific evidence is emerging to suggest that such a cataclysm

388
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:24,000
may actually have happened around the end of the last Ice Age, 12,000 years ago,

389
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,000
when sea levels were 400 feet lower.

390
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:35,000
Is it possible that non-Madal was built that long ago by a now forgotten pre-flood civilization?

391
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:39,000
The builders of the non-Madal were a very advanced civilization.

392
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:44,000
So whether these people originated on the island or as tradition states, they came from other areas.

393
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:51,000
It may have been an inheritance from the lost city that was actually underwater that non-Madal was built upon.

394
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,000
The team prepares to launch an underwater drone.

395
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:01,000
This will be the first time that the ruins have ever been explored in this way.

396
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:06,000
All right, so Gus, I'm going to ask you for a hand with this cable, just to wrangle it.

397
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,000
Okay.

398
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,000
Watch mode.

399
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:09,000
Boom.

400
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,000
All right.

401
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,000
So you just kind of drop it.

402
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,000
Yeah, there it is.

403
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,000
All right.

404
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,000
All right, now we're moving.

405
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,000
Cool.

406
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,000
A little bit of an image.

407
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,000
Ooh, yeah, look at that.

408
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,000
Open ocean, open ocean.

409
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,000
It's just going to be getting close to the wall.

410
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,000
Wow, cool.

411
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,000
So let me drop down.

412
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,000
And there we start to see the wall again.

413
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,000
Now, it's disconnected there for a second.

414
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,000
And it's connected.

415
00:32:51,000 --> 00:33:01,000
Curiously, the image being relayed by the drone continues to cut out every time it starts to get close to what appears to be an underwater wall of basalt columns.

416
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,000
It just keeps disconnecting.

417
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:14,000
The drone Ross is using tested perfectly just one day earlier and in an area that was also rich in basalt.

418
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:19,000
So he is genuinely baffled as to why it is now malfunctioning.

419
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,000
I think what we should do is reel this one back in.

420
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,000
I have another underwater drone.

421
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,000
We'll give that one a try and we'll just go straight to that wall.

422
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,000
Okay, fingers crossed.

423
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,000
Let's go.

424
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,000
The image is sent back.

425
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:08,000
The submersible drone they deployed suddenly stopped working.

426
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:12,000
Fortunately, Ross came prepared with a backup.

427
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,000
Alright, so I'm heading right for that corner over there.

428
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,000
Okay, disconnected.

429
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,000
Yep, okay, disconnected. Wow.

430
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:33,000
As soon as you get close to those stones, it disconnects.

431
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:37,000
So I'm just right below the surface and as soon as I try and drop.

432
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,000
This is now our second one now.

433
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,000
Yeah, now it's doing it to both.

434
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,000
That's so strange.

435
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:47,000
Curiously, the second drone has also malfunctioned.

436
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,000
Could the stone materials have something to do with it?

437
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:55,000
Both underwater drones worked on the north side of the island the day before.

438
00:34:55,000 --> 00:35:03,000
And then we came to the area of Nandmidal and outside only a few feet away from Nandmidal.

439
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,000
Those machines no longer worked.

440
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:11,000
It's as if something or someone was interfering with the devices.

441
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:18,000
So it's very strange to think that maybe somehow those basalt blocks have been magnetized.

442
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:22,000
And if that is the case, what were they exposed to?

443
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:27,000
That they are now apparently magnetized as some people have suggested.

444
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,000
People see lights in this city at night.

445
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:37,000
They see lights moving around and that may be because the whole city is magnetic.

446
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:43,000
And it's some kind of electromagnetic phenomenon that's coming from the rocks themselves.

447
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:49,000
Oceanic basalt, like that found at Nandmidal, is ferromagnetic.

448
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:55,000
Meaning that when exposed to a magnetic charge, it becomes magnetically charged itself.

449
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:59,000
Rocks really have three basic effects on magnetic fields.

450
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:03,000
They either have no effect, so the magnetic field stays kind of straight.

451
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,000
They can effectively repel magnetic fields or attract them.

452
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,000
Rock enhances the magnetic field.

453
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:17,000
The natives say that the stones all flew across the island.

454
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:27,000
And if that was the case, then some magnetic energy was put onto the stones, levitated them,

455
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:32,000
they put them into place and that energy is still there in a residual manner.

456
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:41,000
And that is why the drones wouldn't work there because there's still this energy that was used to levitate the stones.

457
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:52,000
If they flew these stones through the air, if they're using some anti-gravity technology, they would then be magnetized.

458
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,000
Clearly it has something to do with the structure.

459
00:36:55,000 --> 00:37:01,000
It's highly unlikely that two pieces of equipment are malfunctioning all at the same time.

460
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:10,000
If the legend of Nandmidal is true and it was constructed by other worldly visitors using levitation technology,

461
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,000
what was it built for?

462
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:18,000
Why would anybody have to create artificial land or islands back in the day,

463
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,000
especially with a sizable island right here?

464
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,000
Right here. But think of Venice in Italy.

465
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:27,000
It's a port city, it has canals, it's very much more boats.

466
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:36,000
To me it's a giant naval base here for huge ships and those ships were coming out of Southeast Asia into the vast Pacific

467
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:45,000
and they would meet here and then they would go on to other islands and then to Mexico and to Columbia and Peru.

468
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:51,000
But then also it's airships and high technology.

469
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,000
Right.

470
00:37:54,000 --> 00:38:00,000
I don't think that naval traffic and airship traffic are necessarily exclusive of each other.

471
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,000
And it would seem that, you know, it's a combination of both.

472
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:10,000
They were using it as a stepping stone, going out to other Pacific islands where other megaliths and pyramids and things were built.

473
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:16,000
Was Nandmidal a port for an advanced free-flood civilization?

474
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:24,000
As far as David Childress is concerned, it was not only a port, but one with an extraordinary origin

475
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:29,000
and he believes the most important evidence to support his theory can be found.

476
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:34,000
By examining the basalt stone used to build the massive complex.

477
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:48,000
For more than three decades, ancient astronaut theorist David Childress has been studying Nandmidal.

478
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:55,000
Over the years, he has entertained dozens of theories as to how it was constructed and why.

479
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,000
Based on what he has learned over the course of his latest investigation,

480
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:07,000
he is now more convinced than ever that it was built either by or with the help from extraterrestrial visitors.

481
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:14,000
He is also convinced that the complex was built with basalt rock because of its electromagnetic properties.

482
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:20,000
Properties that would make it possible to levitate the large megaton stones into place.

483
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:28,000
Nandmidal is built out of millions and millions of tons of basalt which is magnetic.

484
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:35,000
And perhaps this is something that extraterrestrials can manipulate, use for themselves,

485
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:40,000
even it could possibly help power their spaceships and things.

486
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:49,000
Nandmidal for sure had to have been built when the worldwide water levels were much, much lower.

487
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:56,000
And that, according to science, was between 11 and 20,000 years ago.

488
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:04,000
So right there, we have physical evidence of a site that in my opinion was built in prehistory.

489
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:12,000
When you find evidence deep under the water, potentially goes back tens of thousands of years,

490
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:16,000
in a very important part of the Pacific, it does raise the question,

491
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:21,000
is there a much earlier epoch to Nandmidal than people realize?

492
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:30,000
So the incredible site of Nandmidal looks like it was part of a great culture that existed throughout the Pacific and probably beyond.

493
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:36,000
We find evidence of similar construction at Gunan Padang which potentially goes back 20,000 years.

494
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:42,000
We find similar basalt columns at Olmec sites in ancient Mexico.

495
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:48,000
And these builders may have been influencing the pyramid constructions in ancient Mexico.

496
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:53,000
All these indicators of an ancient lost civilization in the Pacific.

497
00:40:54,000 --> 00:41:02,000
There's no doubt in my mind that the engineering knowledge for Nandmidal came from the extraterrestrials.

498
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:10,000
I have seen megalithic structures around the world, but this one is one of the few that absolutely defies logic.

499
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:18,000
I would categorize Nandmidal in the same category like the Great Pyramid of Egypt and also Puma Punku.

500
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:25,000
And you have to ask yourself, is there a connection? And the answer to that is a resounding yes.

501
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:37,000
Do the incredible megalithic constructions at Nandmidal provide evidence that mankind has only begun to scratch the surface of an alien presence on planet Earth?

502
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:42,000
One that dates back tens of thousands of years.

503
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:49,000
As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, the answer is a profound yes.

504
00:41:49,000 --> 00:42:00,000
And they are also convinced that further investigations will not only prove that extraterrestrials have revealed themselves to humanity at different times throughout history,

505
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:05,000
but that we are about to be visited by these same alien visitors.

506
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,000
Again.
