1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,000 There are structures as old as time that continue to baffle historians and engineers the world 2 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,560 over. 3 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:18,440 How did ancient civilizations build Earth's most enduring architectural wonders? 4 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:24,400 Advanced cultures in Sumeria and Egypt arose as if from nowhere to build massive pyramids 5 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:30,240 and temples, an epic achievement, even with today's technology. 6 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,720 A lot of people will ask the question how did they become that advanced? 7 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:39,760 It was like they took a huge technological leap in regards to science and mathematics. 8 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:44,280 So is that human ingenuity and human thought and they just happen to make those leaps and 9 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,200 bounds by themselves? 10 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:52,920 Or they wonder could they have received help from a higher power somewhere beyond Earth? 11 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:59,120 We build these ancient megaliths ourselves or did aliens guide our hand? 12 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,760 And if so, at what cost? 13 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:08,920 From alien gods to the possible return of the original architects, join us as the alien 14 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:16,680 roots of human civilization are investigated on Unsealed Alien Files. 15 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,200 A global effort has begun. 16 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:25,360 Alien files hidden from the public for decades, detailing every UFO account, are now available 17 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:26,360 to the public. 18 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:31,760 We are about to uncover the truth behind these classified documents. 19 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,040 Find out what the government doesn't want you to know. 20 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:42,000 Unsealed alien files, exposing the biggest secret on planet Earth. 21 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,040 Tehran, Iran. 22 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,080 September 19th, 1976. 23 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:57,680 Dozens of terrified civilians witness a star-shaped orb nearly 300 feet in diameter. 24 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,400 Two Iranian Air Force pilots chase the UFO. 25 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:07,440 As they lock on target, the control panels in both aircraft suddenly go dead. 26 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:13,280 The planes are still in the air, but are dangerously no longer under the pilot's control. 27 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,120 This thing was seen on radar, it was seen visually, it behaved in very strange ways 28 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,080 and seemed to have some sort of technology that could disarm our weapons system. 29 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,760 The lead pilot actually went on to become a general in the Iranian Air Force. 30 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,200 Obviously, his credibility was not challenged. 31 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:35,240 As suddenly as their instruments went blank, control of their aircraft is returned. 32 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:42,640 The Tehran UFO is a well-documented encounter, but it's far from the region's first. 33 00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:48,640 The area around modern-day Iran is part of ancient Mesopotamia and has long been referred 34 00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:52,120 to as the Cradle of Civilization. 35 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:59,560 But many ancient experts believe it wasn't founded by humans. 36 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:05,800 Ancient Sumerian art shows winged god-like beings appearing before humans, driving flaming 37 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:11,240 chariots and riding giant discs in the sky. 38 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:18,400 Do these beings represent mythical gods, ancient extraterrestrials, or both? 39 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,520 4000 BC. 40 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:25,680 After centuries of living as hunters and gatherers, the Sumerians suddenly make massive 41 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,840 leaps forward. 42 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:33,000 They develop the plow and irrigation, sparking the age of agriculture. 43 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:39,040 They even develop an early form of astronomy and a written language. 44 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,800 Did the ancient Sumerians achieve this on their own? 45 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,680 Or did they have help? 46 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,880 The answer may be on display in a Berlin museum. 47 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,880 Unsealed case file. 48 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,000 Cylinder VA-243. 49 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:02,240 Cylinder VA-243 is housed in the Sumerian collection at the Pergamon Museum. 50 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:08,040 Its uncanny inscriptions demonstrate an advanced knowledge of space, one that is considered 51 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,480 impossible for an ancient culture to have possessed. 52 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:20,800 It features a map of our galaxy and refers to a mysterious planet that lies beyond Neptune. 53 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:26,720 Author and ufologist Zachariah Sitchin has put forward controversial claims that a planet 54 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:33,960 called Niberu is home to the Sumerian sky gods called the Anunnaki. 55 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:40,480 Sitchin believes the Anunnaki were extraterrestrials, a race of giants that came to mind Earth's 56 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,360 gold deposits. 57 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:48,480 We have seen depictions of these strange creatures on cable walls. 58 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,640 We have seen them in hieroglyphics. 59 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,800 We have seen them in Sumerian cuneiforms. 60 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:59,080 They're humanoid creatures, just like us, except they're wearing strange kinds of spacesuits 61 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,920 with rays coming out of them. 62 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:06,880 They've been around for over 10,000 years and quite frankly they are a mystery because 63 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,040 they pop up all over the world. 64 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:18,320 But even more disturbing is the Sumerian stories of the gods creating the first humans. 65 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,780 Ancient Sumerian accounts tell of the gods designing humans to relieve them of their 66 00:05:22,780 --> 00:05:24,720 daily work. 67 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:33,120 Did the Anunnaki genetically engineer a human hybrid from their own genetic code? 68 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:38,440 World famous astronomer Carl Sagan co-wrote in his book, Intelligent Life in the Universe, 69 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:44,400 I feel that if Sumerian civilization is depicted by the descendants of the Sumerians themselves 70 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:51,800 to be of non-human origin, the relevant legends should be examined carefully. 71 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:58,280 Could the human race be genetic descendants of an ancient alien race and are aliens responsible 72 00:05:58,280 --> 00:06:04,040 for humanity's most remarkable achievements? 73 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:09,320 Ancient artifacts have revealed that the Sumerians may have been visited by extraterrestrials 74 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,240 offering advanced knowledge and technology. 75 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,440 But this isn't the only evidence of ancient aliens. 76 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:23,600 The presence may still be seen on a massive scale in one of the seven wonders of the world. 77 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:29,080 The Great Pyramid of Giza is the most instantly recognizable structure on Earth. 78 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:36,480 Its massive dimensions and precise design continue to amaze engineers even today. 79 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:44,080 You have stone blocks of pure granite being hauled over 500 miles to the site of construction. 80 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:50,000 And on top of that, you have to lift these insanely large blocks 240 feet. 81 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,800 It points due north within five hundredths of a degree. 82 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,720 No other structure on Earth has that kind of precision. 83 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:02,360 The geometry of the pyramid of Giza would almost have been impossible to comprehend 84 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,480 if you were standing at ground level. 85 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:11,680 It seems as though whoever created the equations would have seen it from above. 86 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,720 Would ancient aliens help build the Great Pyramid? 87 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:21,080 Some experts believe its unique geometry links our world to the farthest reaches of the galaxy. 88 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,880 Unsealed case file. 89 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,560 The Orion Correlation 90 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:33,680 The ancient Egyptians called the pyramids ekeh, meaning glorious light, and referred to them 91 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,200 as Earth-bound stars. 92 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:44,160 But in the 1980s, a researcher named Robert Boval made an astonishing discovery. 93 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:49,360 Seen from above, the three major pyramids at Giza bear an uncanny resemblance to the 94 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:55,640 position of the three stars that formed the Belt of Orion, a constellation the Egyptians 95 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:56,640 worshipped. 96 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:03,080 The two larger pyramids were built in a straight line and positioned closely together while 97 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,520 the smaller of the three was set slightly apart. 98 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:13,720 Boval has said, there is much that suggests a deliberate intention to represent Orion's 99 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,920 Belt at Giza. 100 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:22,200 At the time of the pyramid's construction, its four sides were covered with a highly 101 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,600 reflective limestone. 102 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:29,440 When hit by the rays of the sun, they would have shown bright enough to be seen from outer 103 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:30,440 space. 104 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:36,440 It's alleged that the Egyptians learned this technology from the Anunnaki, the same race 105 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,120 that guided the Sumerians. 106 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,360 Are the pyramids at Giza a galactic beacon for the Anunnaki? 107 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,800 Were they created as an astronomical signpost? 108 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,840 And if so, why? 109 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:56,960 The size of the megaliths in Sumer and Egypt point to highly advanced engineering methods 110 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:03,320 and the use of high tech equipment to move, cut and position the finished blocks. 111 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:09,640 This mysterious craftsmanship is evident all over the world. 112 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,920 Wiltshire, England Many experts believe the massive pillars 113 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:20,200 of Stonehenge were built in the same time period as the pyramids at Giza. 114 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:25,880 Evidence suggests that Stonehenge was constructed as an ancient observatory, built in perfect 115 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:30,680 alignment to track complex astronomical calculations. 116 00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:32,080 But why? 117 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:36,160 And what were they tracking? 118 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:42,360 Teotihuacan, Mexico Its name means, Birthplace of the Gods. 119 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:47,760 How and why this ancient pyramid complex was built remains a mystery. 120 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:54,480 But evidence suggests that like Giza and Stonehenge, the buildings align to a complex system of 121 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,200 astronomical calculations. 122 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:02,240 How did ancient people build these huge and complex structures on their own? 123 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:07,680 Many believe only a highly advanced technology could have been used to achieve such exact 124 00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:09,360 precision. 125 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:14,960 Some think that bronze saws and diamond tip tools might have been used. 126 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:19,320 Creating the blocks themselves is just one mystery. 127 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,120 But how did they move them? 128 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:29,560 The 2.3 million blocks in the largest Egyptian pyramid weigh several tons each. 129 00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:34,160 To finish construction in the roughly two decades it took, workers would have needed 130 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:41,080 to place one multi-ton block with pinpoint accuracy every two minutes. 131 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:45,920 Did the ancient Egyptians receive alien assistance? 132 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:51,080 Some experts believe the Anunnaki may have used a type of anti-gravity technology to 133 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,880 build the Earth's greatest ancient monuments. 134 00:10:54,880 --> 00:11:01,320 Modern worldwide alien encounters, describing cars being lifted by tractor beams and people 135 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:08,360 being injured by lasers, may also be descriptions of alien technology that may have been employed 136 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:13,360 to lift and position megaton objects. 137 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:19,480 According to the theories of ufologist Zachariah Sitchin, the Anunnaki's planet Nipiru orbits 138 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:26,240 out beyond the range of Neptune, coming near Earth every 3,600 years. 139 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:31,280 But how could ancient humans have designed a megalithic site like Stonehenge to track 140 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:36,600 a planet rarely seen? 141 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:41,360 Scientists called archaeo astronomers who study these ancient sites and their relationship 142 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:47,640 to the stars point to the incredible possibility that a group of alien descendants may have 143 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:55,480 been tracking the return of their extraterrestrial ancestors. 144 00:11:55,480 --> 00:12:02,360 Ufologists maintain that ancient civilizations may have received extraterrestrial assistance. 145 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:07,120 Was humanity given these gifts by an alien race called the Anunnaki? 146 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:13,040 In return for helping them plunder the Earth's plentiful gold and natural resources, recent 147 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:20,320 evidence suggests they may also have had the power to save us or destroy us. 148 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:25,480 Some experts believe the pyramids are more than just temples. 149 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:30,760 Author Edward Malkowski spent years researching and constructing models of the Great Pyramid 150 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,320 at Giza. 151 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:38,160 He believes that it performed a function that may have affected Earth's destiny. 152 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:44,520 Malkowski speculates that the lower chamber of the Great Pyramid was not a burial vault. 153 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,640 If it had been, a huge amount of space would have been wasted. 154 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:54,320 He writes, if the chamber was an integral part of the overall design and performed a 155 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,880 function, what could that function possibly be? 156 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,920 The key is water. 157 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:08,080 Malkowski thinks the Great Pyramid used water to create a type of sound wave generator, 158 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,880 producing massive vibrations. 159 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:16,320 The pressure generated by pumping water from the Nile into the pyramid would have created 160 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:23,040 a deafening sound that would be compressed by the giant stone walls into an electromagnetic 161 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:24,640 frequency. 162 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:30,160 Other pyramids could have been designed to connect as a network, all transforming sound, 163 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,000 into electromagnetic energy. 164 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,160 But for what purpose? 165 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:40,520 The Anunnaki may have built the pyramids to be the first electrical generators, not to 166 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,800 power a civilization, but to protect it. 167 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:50,240 The pyramids may have amplified the Earth's natural electromagnetic frequencies, thereby 168 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:55,560 strengthening the Earth's magnetic field, shielding our planet from devastating solar 169 00:13:55,560 --> 00:13:59,640 flares and polar shifts. 170 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:04,400 Did aliens control the Earth's magnetic field with a pyramid machine? 171 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:09,480 And are they also responsible for the creation of another mysterious structure thousands 172 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,160 of years before? 173 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:17,240 Unsealed Case File, The Sphinx. 174 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:22,840 The Sphinx is one of the most recognizable statues in the world, carved from a single 175 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,400 monstrous block of desert limestone. 176 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:34,320 But researchers have discovered it has suffered from erosion, not from wind, but water. 177 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:39,600 A recent NBC News online article reports a new understanding of rainfall on the Giza 178 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,040 Plateau thousands of years ago. 179 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:47,520 The last time there was sufficient precipitation in the region to cause this pattern of rainfall 180 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:55,360 erosion on limestone was around 9,000 years ago, 7,000 BC. 181 00:14:55,360 --> 00:15:01,160 Could the Sphinx be older than the pyramids? 182 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:05,680 In our history books, we're being taught that the ancient Egyptians built the Sphinx 183 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,600 along with the great pyramids of Giza. 184 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,400 But what if that's not true? 185 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:14,800 There are theories now in science that that may not even be close to being true, that 186 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:20,240 a civilization thousands of years before the Egyptians could have potentially built this 187 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,960 great monument. 188 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:30,080 Closer examination of the Sphinx has turned human history upside down. 189 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:35,720 Scientists believe the pharaohs may not have been its architects, and if true, it would 190 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,520 alter the history of human civilization. 191 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:45,040 Could it be that humanity might not be the Anunnaki's first experiment with intelligent 192 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:49,360 life on the earth? 193 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:55,600 Ancient texts of many cultures all tell of an apocalyptic flood caused by a god displeased 194 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,200 with his creation. 195 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:03,640 Do these myths all hint at a single terrifying truth? 196 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:08,720 The Anunnaki may have had the power to cross the universe, perform incredible feats of 197 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:13,720 engineering, and even assist in the evolution of a species. 198 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:18,680 They may also have had the power to flood the entire surface of the earth, wiping out 199 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:24,040 a race that predates our own. 200 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:30,680 According to Sumerian myths, the Anunnaki return to earth every 3,600 years. 201 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:36,560 The precise beginning and end dates of the Anunnaki cycle are unknown, but many experts 202 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:43,360 believe the return of the Sumerian sky gods is rapidly approaching. 203 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:49,920 Earth's greatest ancient civilizations may owe their achievements to an alien race called 204 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,960 the Anunnaki. 205 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,480 Ancient texts tell us they are due to return. 206 00:16:55,480 --> 00:17:00,000 But how will they judge our advancement in light of the knowledge they granted so long 207 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,160 ago? 208 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:08,080 Overpopulation and rampant consumption of natural resources has placed humanity's future 209 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:09,720 in doubt. 210 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:16,640 By 2030, we will require the equivalent of two earths to meet our needs. 211 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,720 Has humanity grown out of control? 212 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:24,480 Some of the world's greatest architectural wonders may provide a warning about our own 213 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:25,760 destruction. 214 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:31,440 If the Egyptians didn't build the Sphinx, it would have to have been an older, more sophisticated 215 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:38,400 culture with superior technological abilities, and one that may have been wiped off the face 216 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,760 of the earth. 217 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:47,000 The UFO incident over Tehran in 1976 might indicate the return of the Anunnaki to the 218 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:51,200 very location where their human experiment began. 219 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:56,800 But some experts believe the experiment isn't finished. 220 00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,840 The earth was once considered a garden of Eden. 221 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:06,400 Will the Anunnaki still consider the earth plentiful when and if they return? 222 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,120 Will they continue to enrich and protect us? 223 00:18:10,120 --> 00:18:13,880 Or will they wipe the earth clean and start again? 224 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:23,840 This is Unsealed Alien Files, exposing the biggest secret on planet Earth.
