1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
An island of giant statues.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,000
A vast plateau covered in enormous geoglyphs.

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
A megalithic settlement that dates back more than 12,000 years.

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,000
On ancient aliens, we've tracked across deserts,

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,000
hacked through jungles, flown to remote islands,

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,000
and climbed rugged mountains in order to investigate extraordinary sites

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,000
that seem to defy any conventional explanation.

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,000
We're going to look back at what I consider to be the top 10 ancient sites we visited.

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:40,000
And you can decide for yourself, do these places hold the proof

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,000
that Earth has been visited by extraterrestrials?

11
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,000
When I think of all the mysterious sites we've investigated on ancient aliens,

12
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:03,000
it's really tough to narrow them down to the top 10, and even tougher to rank them.

13
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Each of these sites offers compelling evidence that extraterrestrials visited our ancestors.

14
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:17,000
And at one particular site in Peru, that evidence is imprinted right on the vast desert floor.

15
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:24,000
And what makes it even more incredible is that you can only see it from high above the Earth.

16
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:31,000
At number 10 on my list of top 10 mysterious sites, the Nazca Lines.

17
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Southern Peru, 1927.

18
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:49,000
While hiking in the foothills of the arid Nazca Desert, archeologist Terribio Mejia Cespe

19
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:55,000
discovers what appears to be a large network of ancient roads carved into the Earth.

20
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Years later, as airplane travel to the region becomes more frequent,

21
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:07,000
aerial flyovers reveal nearly 100 other designs in the nearby landscape.

22
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:15,000
The Nazca Lines consist of these massive drawings or carvings, if you like, on the ground.

23
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Everything from geometric symbols, lions, to animals, even fish, birds.

24
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,000
But the intriguing thing about them is, you know, that number one, they're massive,

25
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,000
and they can really only be seen properly from the sky.

26
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:40,000
According to mainstream archeologists, these mysterious Earth drawings were created by the Nazca,

27
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:47,000
an ancient people that flourished in the region between the 1st century and 8th century AD.

28
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,000
But what was their purpose?

29
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Archeology has still no answer.

30
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:58,000
In my opinion, it has something to do with the extraterrestrial.

31
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Our ancestors made these gigantic signs in the ground because they want to signalize to the beings up there.

32
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,000
We are here. Come down here.

33
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:17,000
If you leave Nazca and travel due west some 2,400 miles out into the Pacific Ocean,

34
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,000
you'll eventually reach one of the most remote islands on Earth.

35
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:27,000
It was discovered by Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen on Easter Sunday, 1722.

36
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:33,000
And he was amazed by the gigantic stone statues he found all over the island.

37
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,000
They've become one of archeology's greatest riddles.

38
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Mysterious site number nine, Easter Island.

39
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,000
April 5th, 1722.

40
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen and his crew are 2,400 miles off the coast of Chile

41
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,000
when they spot a small land mass completely isolated in the Pacific Ocean.

42
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:06,000
As they draw closer, they are surprised to find that the remote island is inhabited.

43
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:12,000
But even more unexpected are the giant stone figures staring out at them from the shore.

44
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,000
The statues on Easter Island, which we call Moai, are one of the great archeological wonders of the world.

45
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:27,000
We know they carved something like a thousand of them over a period of probably roughly about 500 years.

46
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Weighing tens of tons, no other culture in the world has ever done this, certainly not on this scale.

47
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,000
In many ways, we still don't know exactly how they did it.

48
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:43,000
The Moai were found to have been carved from the volcanic bedrock at the center of the island.

49
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:50,000
But exactly how the native people managed to move such enormous statues out to Easter Island shoreline,

50
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:57,000
in some cases more than 11 miles from the quarry, has been the subject of endless debate.

51
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:03,000
There have been many theories over the years as to how they were moved.

52
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:12,000
The first theories thought that they must have been dragged horizontally on sledges or rollers or something of that kind.

53
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:19,000
It was tried again recently for a TV film and again they moved it a few meters, but it really doesn't prove anything.

54
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:26,000
You're talking about several hundred statues and it would depend on the size and weight of the statue,

55
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:32,000
the number of people you had available to help, the distance you were going to go, the kind of terrain.

56
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,000
So basically we don't really know.

57
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:45,000
According to oral tradition and the legends, the people used the mana of the Ariki to make the Moai walk.

58
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,000
The Ariki were the god kings of the communities.

59
00:05:50,000 --> 00:06:00,000
The mana is a special energy or power that some Ariki and important people of the different tribes used to have.

60
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:13,000
So one has to wonder if mana was some type of extraterrestrial technology that allowed these stones to be levitated into place.

61
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Some have suggested that sound technology was used in order to move some of these rocks because scientists have proposed

62
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:31,000
that levitation technology can be achieved with one thing, sound frequencies.

63
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,000
This mana is an energy that no one understands today.

64
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,000
Is it some kind of extraterrestrial energy? We just don't know.

65
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:51,000
You know, what's really curious is that so many of the world's most massive megaliths are found on islands

66
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:57,000
where in ancient times resources and manpower were extremely limited.

67
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:06,000
And on one island nation in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, you'll find some of the oldest and most enormous structures anywhere on Earth.

68
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:12,000
Number eight in our countdown of mysterious sites, the Islands of Malta.

69
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:25,000
The Maltese islands lie in the center of the Mediterranean Sea just south of Italy.

70
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:33,000
Scholars believe the first inhabitants migrated here from the nearby island of Sicily in 5200 BC.

71
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Today, stone structures on two of the islands, Malta and Gozo, are considered by archaeologists to be among the greatest achievements

72
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,000
by ancient builders anywhere in the world.

73
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,000
There are engineering features in these temples that are just astonishing.

74
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:57,000
We're talking about walls and closing space, paved walkways.

75
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,000
They were ceilinged at one time.

76
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Definitely much more complex than anything else that was appearing on Earth for a very long time.

77
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:20,000
In 2014, Giorgio Succolos traveled to Malta to get an up-close look at its incredible megalithic structures.

78
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:29,000
At the temple of Hajar-eem, he met with Dr. Anthony Bonanno, a professor of archaeology and classical literature.

79
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000
What does Hajar-eem actually mean?

80
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,000
Stones of worship or standing stones.

81
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,000
Like this one? Check this out, this is huge!

82
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Yes, 3 meters high by 6 meters, 50 wide and about another meter thick.

83
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,000
That makes about 20 odd tons.

84
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,000
Minimum.

85
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,000
This is incredible, so this is one of the largest freestanding stones.

86
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:02,000
When I see stuff like this, that's when I wonder how...

87
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,000
They quarried it in this case, yes, they must have quarried it.

88
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:14,000
While visitors to these islands are immediately struck by the massive megaliths,

89
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:19,000
one of Malta's most incredible structures remained hidden for centuries.

90
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:29,000
In 1902, construction workers accidentally discovered one of Malta's most curious features,

91
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:35,000
a mysterious underground sanctuary dating to 2500 BC.

92
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Called the Hypogeum, the subterranean structure was revealed to be three levels deep,

93
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,000
all hewn from solid stone.

94
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:52,000
How could people from that far back, how could they know how to construct such a thing?

95
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:58,000
If you look at some of the chambers, it looks like it's actually been carved with some type of a laser.

96
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:03,000
So I don't know exactly how it was done, but I do know that they had a technology

97
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,000
that far exceeds what we have today as far as stone cutting.

98
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,000
If you look at the way some of these walls have been cut,

99
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:18,000
there had to have been a type of plan or construction plan beforehand.

100
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:24,000
And one has to wonder if that engineering knowledge was imparted upon the builders,

101
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,000
which were our ancestors, by extraterrestrials.

102
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Could the incredible stonework found at the Hypogeum

103
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,000
have been achieved using extraterrestrial technology?

104
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Curiously, the first archaeological investigations performed at the site in 1907

105
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,000
turned up more than 7,000 skeletons.

106
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:52,000
And according to a National Geographic magazine article from May 1920,

107
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,000
many were found to have unusually long skulls.

108
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:04,000
In 2014, I had the great privilege of looking at five of these elongated skulls.

109
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:11,000
And they were very interesting because one of those skulls that I looked at had a missing sagittal suture.

110
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,000
The sagittal suture connects to the sides and roof of the cranium.

111
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:22,000
This suture is open when a person is born and closes around the age of 35.

112
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:28,000
As you can see even from the insiders, no sign of the middle suture.

113
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,000
Right.

114
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Completely fused.

115
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,000
That's fascinating.

116
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,000
Even if you have a suture that ossifies or fuses together,

117
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:45,000
you still have a fine line that you can discover or detect.

118
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,000
And with the one skull that I was able to look at in Malta,

119
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,000
that suture was completely missing.

120
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Enormous megalithic structures built more than 5,000 years ago.

121
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:05,000
A mysterious underground sanctuary hidden for centuries.

122
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Ancient skulls of abnormal size and shape.

123
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,000
As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned,

124
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,000
the evidence all points to one conclusion.

125
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:23,000
That the islands of Malta were once home to extraterrestrial beings.

126
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:34,000
There aren't many places on earth that can turn modern archeology on its head,

127
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,000
like the next mysterious site on our countdown.

128
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:42,000
It's a place that mainstream science says can't possibly exist.

129
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:49,000
But not only does it exist, it may even provide evidence of the great flood described in the Bible.

130
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,000
Number 7 in our countdown of the top 10 mysterious sites,

131
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Gobekli Tepe.

132
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:06,000
San Lir Fatorki, October 1994.

133
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,000
While plowing his field, shepherd Saba Gildiz,

134
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,000
spots a strangely shaped stone protruding from the ground.

135
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:21,000
After brushing away the dirt, he realizes that it may be part of a much larger object.

136
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:28,000
It wasn't until German archeologist Klaus Schmidt visited the site and began digging.

137
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,000
They realized what was really at the site.

138
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,000
What he discovered was mind-blowing.

139
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,000
After discovering the first T-shaped pillar buried at the site,

140
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,000
he soon found more of these massive structures.

141
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:50,000
Klaus Schmidt had the sediment layers of the site radiocarbon dated.

142
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:57,000
The results indicated that the stone structures could be as much as 12,000 years old,

143
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:03,000
more than 5,000 years older than mankind's first known civilization in Mesopotamia.

144
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:09,000
Some researchers propose the megalithic structures provide evidence

145
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:14,000
that an advanced civilization existed on Earth many thousands of years ago,

146
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:21,000
one that was assisted by other worldly visitors before falling victim to a deadly cataclysm.

147
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:29,000
There is evidence of a great cataclysm that took place around 12,900 years ago.

148
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,000
It's called the Young Adryus Impact Event.

149
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:40,000
Where comets and air bursts impacted the land and the ice sheets causing massive flooding

150
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,000
and Quebec Littepi dates to the time of the Young Adryus Events

151
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,000
that would take place over a few thousand years earlier.

152
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,000
Quebec Littepi could be the smoking gun of a lost civilization

153
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:57,000
because it confirms that at the time of the last ice age

154
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,000
there was high culture existing in the world.

155
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,000
This is something that had been speculated for many years.

156
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,000
If you think of Quebec Littepi as one of the most mysterious sites on Earth

157
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,000
there is another that I think is even more baffling.

158
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:18,000
It's a series of massive stones in northern France

159
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:23,000
that have been arranged in a very deliberate and perplexing geometric pattern.

160
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,000
Even modern archaeology can't explain their purpose.

161
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:33,000
At number six on our countdown are the top ten mysterious sites,

162
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,000
the standing stones of Carnac.

163
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:46,000
On the northwest coast of France, just south of Brittany

164
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,000
lies one of the most important prehistoric sites in Europe.

165
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,000
At the seaside village of Carnac

166
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:59,000
over 3,000 megalithic stones are placed in rows over two miles long.

167
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:04,000
The Carnac stones were hewn from local rock formations

168
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:10,000
and directed between 4,500 to 2,500 BC at the end of the Stone Age.

169
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:15,000
They are the largest collection of standing stones in the world.

170
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:21,000
Archaeologists are baffled by the many megaliths at Carnac here.

171
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,000
It's clearly a massive construction project

172
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:34,000
with blocks of granite weighing 50 to 100 to even up to 350 tons.

173
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,000
Although mainstream archaeologists speculate that the Carnac stones

174
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:44,000
are most likely tomb markers, ancient astronaut theorists believe

175
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:49,000
these stones are intentionally laid out in a unique geometric formation.

176
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:54,000
The Carnac stones were laid out incredibly precisely

177
00:16:54,000 --> 00:17:01,000
using standard units of measurement that show very sophisticated mathematics.

178
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:08,000
It's been suggested that they were using the Pythagorean theorem thousands of years ago.

179
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,000
It may elude us now exactly what they were trying to accomplish

180
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,000
but it seems like they were encoding some kind of information.

181
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:22,000
The Pythagorean theorem wasn't established until 2,000 years after the last Carnac stones were erected.

182
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,000
So how could the builders have possessed this knowledge?

183
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:32,000
And why were the stones arranged in such precise geometrical patterns?

184
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:38,000
The Carnac stones are a perfect marker for any kind of aerial vehicle looking down on the earth.

185
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,000
The extraterrestrials told our ancestors,

186
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:48,000
do this, move stones, put it exactly in this pattern we order you.

187
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,000
It was on purpose. The idea was that generations in the far future

188
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:56,000
would start to ask questions. That's the situation we had today.

189
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:04,000
Could the Carnac stones contain a mathematical message left by extraterrestrials?

190
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,000
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes

191
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:15,000
and suggest further evidence can be found by examining a famous megalithic site to the north.

192
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:25,000
We're nearly halfway through our countdown of my top 10 most mysterious sites

193
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,000
that we've investigated on ancient aliens.

194
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:33,000
And the next side on my list is one that some believe has the power to heal

195
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:38,000
while others say it was once a portal through space and time.

196
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:43,000
But what's most amazing to me is that ancient people arranged these stones

197
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,000
to be an exact replica of our solar system.

198
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,000
Number 5, Stonehenge.

199
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Wiltshire, England.

200
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:05,000
The Neolithic monument known as Stonehenge

201
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:10,000
has dominated the landscape here for no less than 5,000 years.

202
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:15,000
The iconic stone circle consists of vertical standing stones

203
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:20,000
towering 13 feet tall and weighing 25 tons each,

204
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,000
topped by connecting horizontal lentil stones

205
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,000
and surrounding a smaller ring of stones in the center.

206
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:32,000
Stonehenge is unlike any stone circle anywhere on the planet.

207
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:37,000
It's perfectly circular. It has lentils above it.

208
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:42,000
It's designed with precision engineered astronomical alignments.

209
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:48,000
How could the ancient Stone Age people of Britain move these stones into place?

210
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,000
However Stonehenge was constructed,

211
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:58,000
it involved moving much more than just the stone blocks that stand today.

212
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:04,000
According to researchers, this is just 25% of the original monument.

213
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:10,000
The center of a much larger structure that was surrounded by multiple concentric circles

214
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:14,000
constructed over a period of more than a thousand years.

215
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:20,000
So Stonehenge is very interesting in that it evolves over a very long period of time

216
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:25,000
and the first thing that goes up at Stonehenge is not there anymore.

217
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,000
It's the 56 holes that today are known as the Aubrey circle

218
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:35,000
that used to be filled with 56 stones in a big stone circle just inside the henge.

219
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:42,000
Stonehenge is a replica of our solar system on Earth.

220
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:50,000
Each circle corresponds with one of our planets inside our solar system including Pluto.

221
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,000
So now we have a structure that's at least 4,000 years old

222
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:59,000
and our ancestors knew about Pluto without telescopes.

223
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:06,000
Someone told them about Pluto and all of our planets in our solar system

224
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:13,000
and that is the message because in Neolithic time there is no way that they knew about this.

225
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,000
As amazing as Stonehenge looks today,

226
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:26,000
remember what's still standing is only a fraction of the original structure.

227
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:33,000
But 2,400 miles to the south is an even more extraordinary ancient site

228
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,000
that remains almost perfectly intact.

229
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:42,000
The number four site on my countdown, Egypt's Giza Plateau.

230
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:53,000
In April 2018, ancient astronaut theorist George O'Souklos, Egyptologist Rami Romani

231
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:58,000
and arduous astronomer Dr. Giulio Mali traveled to Cairo to investigate

232
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:03,000
what is perhaps the most impressive structure ever constructed on Earth,

233
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,000
the Great Pyramid of Giza.

234
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,000
This is one incredible block.

235
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,000
Every single block is bigger than this car.

236
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,000
It is insane, it really is.

237
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,000
Are you ready for some climbing?

238
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,000
I'm going to have goosebumps on my calves right now.

239
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:32,000
Built from more than 2 million limestone blocks, each weighing thousands of pounds,

240
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:37,000
the pyramid is aligned perfectly to the cardinal points of the compass,

241
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,000
north, south, east and west,

242
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:46,000
suggesting that its builders possessed extraordinary geographical knowledge.

243
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,000
According to mainstream Egyptologists,

244
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:54,000
the Great Pyramid was built sometime around 2500 BC

245
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,000
as the burial tomb of the Pharaoh Khufu,

246
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:01,000
but this claim has yet to be proven.

247
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:06,000
Archaeologists and Egyptologists claim that they were tombs for the pharaohs,

248
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:12,000
and yet no Egyptian pharaoh was ever found in a pyramid in Egypt.

249
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,000
We have found the mummies of many Egyptian pharaohs,

250
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:21,000
but they're found in vaults deep underground at the valley of the kings in Luxor,

251
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,000
hundreds of miles away from the pyramids.

252
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:30,000
The pyramids, no real explanation of what their purpose was.

253
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:36,000
But if the pyramids at Giza were not intended to house the remains of dead pharaohs,

254
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:41,000
then why were these towering monuments built?

255
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,000
In his 1998 book, The Giza Power Plant,

256
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,000
noted machinist and engineer Christopher Dunn,

257
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,000
proposed that the shape, positions of chambers,

258
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,000
and proximity to underground rivers,

259
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:00,000
indicate the pyramids of Giza functioned as ancient power plants.

260
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:06,000
This incredible hypothesis, which has since been adopted by other scientists and researchers,

261
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,000
may be impossible to ever prove.

262
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:17,000
But ancient astronaut theorists believe new information about the great pyramid may soon be revealed.

263
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:25,000
In March 2016, archaeologists examining the ancient structure with a new technology known as muagrafi

264
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:34,000
made a shocking discovery, a mysterious chamber inside the structure that is as large as the Statue of Liberty.

265
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:38,000
This new room is only the beginning of it.

266
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,000
I'm sure within the next months or at least two years,

267
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:45,000
they will discover more rooms in the great pyramid.

268
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:53,000
I personally think that the great pyramid in Egypt holds some sort of time capsule.

269
00:24:53,000 --> 00:25:00,000
Perhaps what lies within the great pyramid will reveal not only incredible truths about ancient Egypt,

270
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,000
but about the history of humankind.

271
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:12,000
Could there be clues that reveal that Egypt was once home to an extraterrestrial civilization?

272
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,000
Is it an altitude of 12,000 feet?

273
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:43,000
Number 3 on my countdown of the world's top 10 mysterious sites,

274
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,000
Saksaihuaman.

275
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,000
Kusko, Peru

276
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,000
On the northern outskirts of what was once the capital city of the Inca,

277
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,000
at an elevation of more than 12,000 feet,

278
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,000
looms the ancient fortress of Saksaihuaman.

279
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:11,000
Mainstream archaeologists suggest the Inca built this megalithic site in the 15th century AD.

280
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:19,000
But many researchers now believe that the foundation of Saksaihuaman dates back centuries earlier.

281
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:27,000
My feeling is that we're looking at a two-phase construction site in many of the so-called incurs stone monuments.

282
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:34,000
And that the Inca structures sit on top of much more ancient rock cut structures and megalithic structures

283
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:39,000
that we just don't know who built them. And this actually fits with the Inca's own view.

284
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:46,000
Like many Inca sites, Saksaihuaman features astonishing stonework.

285
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,000
But not all of it credited to the Inca.

286
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,000
According to conventional archaeology,

287
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:59,000
the Kilke culture built the older sections of the site approximately 1,000 years ago.

288
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:06,000
But the Inca themselves believed the site was constructed by an earlier, unnamed race of people

289
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:11,000
led by a powerful god who descended from the skies.

290
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:17,000
Throughout time, there has been witness to a god named Veracocha that visited the South American people

291
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:21,000
and blessed them and gave them all types of technology.

292
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:26,000
Some of his physical characteristics make him stand out from the indigenous population

293
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,000
because he was not at all similar to the indigenous people.

294
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:34,000
Veracocha was the primary deity of the Andes.

295
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:45,000
Going back many thousands of years, he was thought to be the founder of all the ancient sites we see in Peru and Bolivia today.

296
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,000
But did Veracocha actually exist?

297
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:57,000
Could he have been, as ancient astronaut theorists suggest, a visitor from an alien world?

298
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:04,000
If so, it might help to explain just how the ancient site was constructed.

299
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,000
It's amazing all these, the weight of the stones.

300
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:14,000
It's difficult, definitely, for any human to move even in groups.

301
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,000
And the other aspect is how it's put together.

302
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:25,000
In some stones we will see still now there is like some marks that it seemed that it was dissolved.

303
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:32,000
The walls are put together with blocks of stone weighing 50 or 100 tons.

304
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:37,000
Cut and shaped like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle so that they lock together so tightly

305
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:42,000
that you can't even get a sheet of paper between them.

306
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:48,000
According to local legend, a bird was responsible for the seamless construction.

307
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:58,000
Legends say the winged creature carried a powerful chemical in its beak, a substance capable of melting stone.

308
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:05,000
Saksa-guaman means the head of the falcon, falcon's head.

309
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:14,000
But maybe it was some falcons or maybe some bird people who could connect with the place.

310
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:22,000
But is it possible, as ancient astronaut theorists suggest, that the mythical bird might actually have been a spacecraft

311
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:28,000
piloted by alien visitors known to the locals as space brothers?

312
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:37,000
I believe that it's a combination of the space brothers' technology with other kinds of possibilities.

313
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,000
Nowadays we know different kinds of tools.

314
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:46,000
We didn't have before these kinds of tools. Or maybe we had more sophisticated.

315
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:53,000
So the thing is that this place, Saksa-guaman, it continues as a mystery.

316
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:20,000
This site, the ruins of Balbeck.

317
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:30,000
Eastern Lebanon, the Bekka Valley.

318
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:36,000
Here, at this archaeological site, stand the ruins of Heliopolis.

319
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:42,000
Built in the 4th century BC by Alexander the Great to honor Zeus.

320
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:52,000
But beneath the Corinthian columns and remnants of both Greek and Roman architecture, lie the ruins of a site that is much, much older.

321
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:58,000
According to archaeologists, it dates back nearly 9,000 years.

322
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:06,000
The ancient city of Balbeck, named after the early Canonite deity, Bal.

323
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:11,000
Bal is the god of life, the god of the sky, the god of the sun.

324
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:19,000
He was the god that was venerated on the site of Balbeck during the Canonite and the Phoenician times.

325
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:31,000
And so because it was already sacred to the god Baal, then later the Greeks and the Romans then would build temples on this very same spot.

326
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:41,000
Archaeological surveys have revealed that the enormous stone foundation that lies at the base of the site dates back thousands of years.

327
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:52,000
Balbeck, as we know from the archaeological evidence, must have existed during theolithic period, between 6 to 8,000 years or even 9,000 years BC.

328
00:31:53,000 --> 00:32:07,000
But even more significant to ancient astronaut theorists is their belief that the colossal stone platform may have been built using extraterrestrial technology.

329
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:19,000
As evidence, researchers point to the gigantic megalithic stones incorporated into the foundation, each weighing between 800 to 1600 tons

330
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,000
and perfectly fitted together.

331
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:32,000
In Balbeck, stone blocks were transported, which have a weight of over 1,500 tons.

332
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:37,000
And this not in a flat land, it's all mountain.

333
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:46,000
We have absolutely no idea how such heavy loads could there be transported in the mountain.

334
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:56,000
I have not even a speculation to this, but for sure it does never fit into the prehistoric knowledge of our ancestors.

335
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:06,000
This is the real mystery of Balbeck, how these stones came to be there, why they were placed there and specifically how they were transported into place.

336
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:15,000
Because some of the stones are of such magnitude that modern machinery is incapable of putting them there, but somehow our ancestors were able to do this.

337
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:35,000
It is one of the oldest, oldest megalithic sites on the planet and it has these huge stones laid out in a precise geometrical shape at a time when the prehistoric people who would have lived there would have no concept of how to move stones of that nature.

338
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:51,000
But if the moving, hoisting and setting of such massive stones was so incredibly difficult, then who or what helped to place them there? And perhaps more importantly, why?

339
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:57,000
We know that the ancients always went to power places and Balbeck clearly is one of them.

340
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:05,000
It is a place where the gods were worshipped, where the gods were said to be present. And so when it comes to Balbeck, this platform was built there for a reason.

341
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,000
For what purpose it was used is a question we can't answer at this moment in time.

342
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:18,000
But what we do know is that whatever was happening there had a great religious significance to them and was linked with worshipping deities.

343
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,000
Deities which clearly are of an otherworldly origin.

344
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:28,000
Hopefully at one point, archaeology will be so open-minded that they actually want to explore this further.

345
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:40,000
We're just moments away from the top site on my list and in my opinion we've definitely saved the best for last. Can you guess what it is?

346
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:48,000
We finally reached number one on my top ten countdown of ancient aliens most mysterious sites.

347
00:34:48,000 --> 00:35:05,000
Lying in ruins atop a vast plateau in the Andes Mountains at an altitude of over 12,000 feet, the megalithic stones found at this incredible location are among the largest on planet Earth.

348
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:11,000
But even more impressive is how they were cut with such exact precision.

349
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:21,000
And to me they provide the strongest evidence that extraterrestrials visited our planet and changed the course of human history.

350
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:26,000
My number one most mysterious site, Puma Punku.

351
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:36,000
Olivia, South America.

352
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:41,000
Here lie the mysterious ancient ruins of Puma Punku.

353
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:54,000
Spread across a desert plateau are dozens of megalithic stone blocks cut with extreme precision and some weighing more than 100 tons.

354
00:35:55,000 --> 00:36:04,000
These are the mysterious ruins of Puma Punku nearly 13,000 feet in the Altiplano of Bolivia.

355
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:15,000
What you have here are massive blocks of granite scattered like some kids toy blocks around the site.

356
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:28,000
Archaeologists are baffled by what Puma Punku was, how it looked and what the purpose of this enormous structure would have been.

357
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:44,000
What sets Puma Punku apart from other ancient megalithic sites is the incredible stonework, which some researchers suggest is far too sophisticated to have been accomplished using primitive tools.

358
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:52,000
One of the amazing things here at Puma Punku is the precision of the blocks.

359
00:36:52,000 --> 00:37:00,000
You can see with this block of granite that it's really been cut at very accurate right angles.

360
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:13,000
Not only do these granite blocks have precision corners, but they also have these difficult drill holes that are going right through the rock.

361
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:31,000
Mainstream scientists believe the site was originally constructed about 2,000 years ago, but in 1945, archaeologist Arthur Posnanski proposed that Puma Punku was much, much older.

362
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:40,000
By examining the structures and what he believed were their original alignment with the stars, he dated the ruins to 15,000 BC.

363
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:50,000
But how could such primitive people, living perhaps over 10,000 years ago, have produced such flawless stonework?

364
00:37:51,000 --> 00:38:00,000
The Spanish conqueror asked the Inca, the people living there, including the king of the Inca, what is this Puma Punku?

365
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:10,000
And they all said, it's not us, it's not our forefather who made this. This was made by the gods in one single night.

366
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:26,000
One of the earliest chronicles that we have in regards to Puma Punku talks about that these giant platforms were moved through the air by the sound of a trumpet.

367
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,000
They basically floated into place.

368
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:39,000
And here's another very interesting thing that according to the myths, this is exactly what happened with the Moai on Easter Island.

369
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:48,000
Could it be that the local traditions of Easter Island and Puma Punku tell nearly identical stories of levitation?

370
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:54,000
Because the ancient people at both sites witnessed the same extraterrestrial technology.

371
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:04,000
And if the stone blocks of Puma Punku were once part of a megalithic structure, how did it end up in ruins?

372
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:10,000
I honestly believe that Puma Punku is more than 12,000 years old.

373
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:21,000
12,000 years ago there was a global cataclysm that destroyed a lot of ancient sites that we find, whether in Egypt or the Altiplano of Bolivia.

374
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:33,000
We had at the end of the last Ice Age all kinds of catastrophic flooding due to the events and the climate changes and the melting of the glaciers and increased precipitation.

375
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:40,000
There were incredible rises in sea levels since the end of the last Ice Age.

376
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:47,000
More than 12,000 years ago Lake Titicaca was 100 feet higher than it is today.

377
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:55,000
And I believed that Puma Punku was literally on the shore of the lake at that time whereas now it's eight miles away.

378
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:04,000
12,000 years ago it was hit by a wave of mud coming from Lake Titicaca as a tsunami.

379
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:18,000
A megalithic structure built more than 12,000 years ago with the help of extraterrestrial technology destroyed by a great cataclysm.

380
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:25,000
If this incredible story is true, one question still remains.

381
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,000
What was Puma Punku?

382
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:39,000
When you look at the complexity of Puma Punku, the huge platforms, the interlocking blocks that were made into what they thought were indestructible walls,

383
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:50,000
what you could have is the kind of perfectly made granite spaceport that extraterrestrials would want.

384
00:40:51,000 --> 00:41:00,000
Although the origins of many of the incredible sites we featured on ancient aliens continue to be debated,

385
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:12,000
to me Puma Punku is so extraordinary that it is the one site where I will say yes, this was likely built directly by the aliens themselves.

386
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:21,000
But make no mistake, each and every one of the sites on our countdown deserves to be investigated with an open mind.

387
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:31,000
And it is only by asking the questions that we can finally uncover the truth of our extraterrestrial origins.
