EDWIN BARNHART: The Aztecs say they started 34 00:02:14,551 --> 00:02:18,013 from this place up in the north called Chicomoztoc. 35 00:02:18,013 --> 00:02:20,182 It was a cave, and inside that cave, 36 00:02:20,182 --> 00:02:22,768 it had seven different caverns, 37 00:02:22,768 --> 00:02:26,104 and there were said to be seven different tribes. 38 00:02:26,104 --> 00:02:30,150 And the Aztecs say they were part of the seven tribes 39 00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:34,488 that came from the seven chambers of Chicomoztoc. 40 00:02:34,488 --> 00:02:37,491 NARRATOR: While Chicomoztoc was once thought 41 00:02:37,491 --> 00:02:40,369 to be a mythological place, 42 00:02:40,369 --> 00:02:44,915 some scholars believe archaeological evidence suggests 43 00:02:44,915 --> 00:02:48,877 that it really did exist, and is located at the site 44 00:02:48,877 --> 00:02:53,423 of the ancient pyramid complex known today as Teotihuacan. 45 00:02:57,260 --> 00:02:59,805 BARNHART: The place of seven caves, we think 46 00:02:59,805 --> 00:03:04,309 maybe that has actually been located archaeologically 47 00:03:04,309 --> 00:03:09,272 at the site of the main temple of Teotihuacan, 48 00:03:09,272 --> 00:03:11,358 called the Pyramid of the Sun, 49 00:03:11,358 --> 00:03:14,653 which sits just north of the Valley of Mexico. 50 00:03:14,653 --> 00:03:18,824 Underneath it is actually a cave 51 00:03:18,824 --> 00:03:22,327 with seven different spots that it extends out into. 52 00:03:22,327 --> 00:03:24,621 And that's where the Aztecs said 53 00:03:24,621 --> 00:03:27,332 their original ancestors came from. 54 00:03:30,627 --> 00:03:32,838 NARRATOR: In the 16th century, 55 00:03:32,838 --> 00:03:37,551 Spanish chronicler Geronimo de Mendieta recorded the legends 56 00:03:37,551 --> 00:03:40,220 of the local native population. 57 00:03:40,220 --> 00:03:43,265 According to their accounts, the Aztec believed 58 00:03:43,265 --> 00:03:44,850 that they were fashioned by a group 59 00:03:44,850 --> 00:03:48,103 of stranded gods within these seven caves. 60 00:03:48,103 --> 00:03:52,941 JONATHAN YOUNG: Mendieta wrote an account of Aztec legend. 61 00:03:52,941 --> 00:03:56,445 In this report, he describes a giant flint knife 62 00:03:56,445 --> 00:03:58,363 landing on the Earth. 63 00:03:58,363 --> 00:04:00,949 And the Earth was trembling and shaking 64 00:04:00,949 --> 00:04:04,077 as this enormous flint knife landed. 65 00:04:06,413 --> 00:04:10,959 Then some 1,600 gods disgorged from this thing, 66 00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:15,338 and they are responsible for launching Aztec civilization. 67 00:04:17,883 --> 00:04:20,427 BARNHART: The Aztecs talk about the many gods 68 00:04:20,427 --> 00:04:24,639 coming down to Earth and creating humans. 69 00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:30,353 They create them out of bone, ash and their own blood. 70 00:04:30,353 --> 00:04:34,149 And they make them somewhat in their own image. 71 00:04:34,149 --> 00:04:37,527 But they make them specifically so that they will honor them 72 00:04:37,527 --> 00:04:38,862 and they will serve them. 73 00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:41,948 GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: All of a sudden, 74 00:04:41,948 --> 00:04:44,951 there is a description of a giant flint knife 75 00:04:44,951 --> 00:04:50,540 that descended from the sky, and somebody emerged out of it. 76 00:04:50,540 --> 00:04:53,668 One has to wonder 77 00:04:53,668 --> 00:04:57,839 whether or not our ancestors were witness 78 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,509 to a landing of some type of a craft. 79 00:05:00,509 --> 00:05:06,139 If so, then the Aztec story suggests 80 00:05:06,139 --> 00:05:08,391 that, some point in our history, 81 00:05:08,391 --> 00:05:12,604 extraterrestrials created mankind. 82 00:05:12,604 --> 00:05:17,692 And something very strange was going on at Teotihuacan. 83 00:05:17,692 --> 00:05:22,447 NARRATOR: Located just 30 miles northeast of Mexico City, 84 00:05:22,447 --> 00:05:26,076 the Teotihuacan complex encompasses nearly 85 00:05:26,076 --> 00:05:30,372 eight square miles, and is dated to the first century AD. 86 00:05:30,372 --> 00:05:34,000 It is the oldest and most sophisticated city 87 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,213 of Mesoamerica, an area that extends from northern Mexico 88 00:05:38,213 --> 00:05:40,340 down through Central America. 89 00:05:43,134 --> 00:05:45,595 The civilization predated the Maya 90 00:05:45,595 --> 00:05:47,931 by at least a hundred years. 91 00:05:47,931 --> 00:05:50,767 At its peak, it was said to have supported 92 00:05:50,767 --> 00:05:53,395 nearly 100,000 residents. 93 00:05:53,395 --> 00:05:58,900 It was also the largest city in the entire Western Hemisphere 94 00:05:58,900 --> 00:06:03,697 prior to the 15th century, and served as the major commerce 95 00:06:03,697 --> 00:06:06,116 and religious center for the region. 96 00:06:06,116 --> 00:06:08,660 BARNHART: The significance of Teotihuacan 97 00:06:08,660 --> 00:06:11,162 cannot be overstated. 98 00:06:11,162 --> 00:06:14,124 It is the Rome of Mesoamerica. 99 00:06:14,124 --> 00:06:18,837 The things that Teotihuacan did set the pattern 100 00:06:18,837 --> 00:06:21,339 for all other city‐states after it. 101 00:06:23,133 --> 00:06:25,010 NARRATOR: The central features of the complex 102 00:06:25,010 --> 00:06:27,679 are two large pyramids, 103 00:06:27,679 --> 00:06:33,393 known as the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon, 104 00:06:33,393 --> 00:06:38,064 as well as a temple dedicated to Quetzalcoatl, 105 00:06:38,064 --> 00:06:40,525 the feathered serpent. 106 00:06:40,525 --> 00:06:44,863 These structures stand alongside a thoroughfare 107 00:06:44,863 --> 00:06:49,200 referred to as the Avenue of the Dead. 108 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,496 Over 200 smaller buildings, platforms and pyramids 109 00:06:53,496 --> 00:06:56,583 are found adjacent to the Avenue. 110 00:06:56,583 --> 00:06:59,252 And there are thousands of living quarters 111 00:06:59,252 --> 00:07:02,047 just outside the complex. 112 00:07:02,047 --> 00:07:05,842 But as incredible as Teotihuacan is, 113 00:07:05,842 --> 00:07:09,137 no one knows exactly who built this metropolis 114 00:07:09,137 --> 00:07:12,307 or what happened to its occupants. 115 00:07:12,307 --> 00:07:15,935 BARNHART: Teotihuacan, despite its size, 116 00:07:15,935 --> 00:07:18,897 has no hieroglyphs whatsoever. 117 00:07:18,897 --> 00:07:20,649 There are other cultures in Mesoamerica 118 00:07:20,649 --> 00:07:22,484 that were using writing systems. 119 00:07:22,484 --> 00:07:24,694 There's nothing like that at Teotihuacan. 120 00:07:24,694 --> 00:07:28,531 So we don't really have a clear history 121 00:07:28,531 --> 00:07:32,118 of what happened at Teotihuacan. 122 00:07:32,118 --> 00:07:36,831 And we can't really find evidence of their rulers. 123 00:07:46,925 --> 00:07:51,054 ...to develop a complete, huge complex, citadel... 124 00:07:58,061 --> 00:08:00,814 WILL HART: We have such a sophisticated site 125 00:08:00,814 --> 00:08:06,695 that embodies engineering principles, craftsmanship, art. 126 00:08:06,695 --> 00:08:09,114 Where did it originate? 127 00:08:09,114 --> 00:08:12,409 Where are the smaller versions of this? 128 00:08:12,409 --> 00:08:14,494 Well, we don't find any. 129 00:08:14,494 --> 00:08:18,915 So, we don't have a progression, an evolution, 130 00:08:18,915 --> 00:08:20,500 to show where this came from. 131 00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:25,380 So we have to ask: where did it come from? 132 00:08:25,380 --> 00:08:27,048 WILCOCK: We've become conditioned to look 133 00:08:27,048 --> 00:08:29,759 at these awesome works of stone architecture and think, 134 00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:32,512 "Oh, primitive people did that, and they used primitive methods 135 00:08:32,512 --> 00:08:34,222 with primitive technology." 136 00:08:34,222 --> 00:08:38,643 But we have to rethink the fundamental assumptions, 137 00:08:38,643 --> 00:08:41,688 and come to a greater and greater level of understanding 138 00:08:41,688 --> 00:08:44,774 that the technology required to build these artifacts, in fact, 139 00:08:44,774 --> 00:08:47,819 is greater than anything that they possessed. 140 00:08:51,781 --> 00:08:54,284 NARRATOR: But based on the local lore of the region, 141 00:08:54,284 --> 00:08:57,871 ancient astronaut theorists suggest that the original 142 00:08:57,871 --> 00:09:02,125 builders of the site may not have been human at all. 143 00:09:02,125 --> 00:09:05,170 YOUNG: All of the people in this area felt 144 00:09:05,170 --> 00:09:10,550 this city was a sacred site connected to a divine realm. 145 00:09:10,550 --> 00:09:13,887 The population along the coast were the Totonac. 146 00:09:13,887 --> 00:09:17,432 They believed that the place was founded by 147 00:09:17,432 --> 00:09:20,977 a dozen sky gods‐‐ the lords of thunder. 148 00:09:25,231 --> 00:09:29,402 Other nearby Mesoamerican cultures had their own theories. 149 00:09:29,402 --> 00:09:33,656 One associated the site with the feathered serpent god 150 00:09:33,656 --> 00:09:36,993 Quetzalcoatl, who was said to have come from Venus. 151 00:09:41,706 --> 00:09:45,126 It was the Aztecs who gave the place its name, 152 00:09:45,126 --> 00:09:48,129 Teotihuacan‐‐ City of the Gods. 153 00:09:53,426 --> 00:09:56,054 The name speaks for itself. 154 00:09:56,054 --> 00:09:59,933 So one has to ask the question: what gods? 155 00:10:04,395 --> 00:10:06,397 Who were they? 156 00:10:06,397 --> 00:10:09,818 Were they just a figment of our ancestors' imagination, 157 00:10:09,818 --> 00:10:12,695 or did they see someone? 158 00:10:12,695 --> 00:10:14,572 Did somebody visit them 159 00:10:14,572 --> 00:10:17,575 to essentially jumpstart civilization? 160 00:10:21,788 --> 00:10:24,791 NARRATOR: If Teotihuacan truly was founded 161 00:10:24,791 --> 00:10:28,002 by extraterrestrial visitors in the remote past, 162 00:10:28,002 --> 00:10:30,171 just how old might the site be? 163 00:10:32,423 --> 00:10:35,426 And could this ancient city still hold evidence 164 00:10:35,426 --> 00:10:37,846 of alien visitation? 165 00:10:43,434 --> 00:10:44,936 NARRATOR: Every year, 166 00:10:44,936 --> 00:10:47,021 millions of tourists visit the ancient ruins 167 00:10:47,021 --> 00:10:49,858 of Teotihuacan. 168 00:10:49,858 --> 00:10:53,069 But most are unaware that many of the buildings 169 00:10:53,069 --> 00:10:54,863 they see throughout the complex 170 00:10:54,863 --> 00:10:59,576 have been erected upon much older structures. 171 00:10:59,576 --> 00:11:03,204 The Pyramid of the Sun is believed to consist of 172 00:11:03,204 --> 00:11:06,082 a total of five layers of pyramids, 173 00:11:06,082 --> 00:11:10,879 one built on top of the next, like a Russian nesting doll. 174 00:11:10,879 --> 00:11:14,674 Curiously, the oldest layers are said to exhibit 175 00:11:14,674 --> 00:11:16,968 the most advanced building techniques. 176 00:11:19,220 --> 00:11:22,307 Evidence of this older stonework can still be found 177 00:11:22,307 --> 00:11:24,767 scattered in parts of the complex, 178 00:11:24,767 --> 00:11:27,937 including a largely off‐limits area 179 00:11:27,937 --> 00:11:30,565 behind the Pyramid of the Feathered Serpent. 180 00:11:34,485 --> 00:11:37,739 This enormous stone has been very finely cut 181 00:11:37,739 --> 00:11:40,241 by the inhabitants of Teotihuacan. 182 00:11:40,241 --> 00:11:43,661 NARRATOR: Local researcher Marco Vigato 183 00:11:43,661 --> 00:11:47,207 has gained unprecedented access to this part of the site. 184 00:13:06,661 --> 00:13:09,580 NARRATOR: When archaeologist Leopoldo Batres 185 00:13:09,580 --> 00:13:13,251 started excavating the site in 1884, 186 00:13:13,251 --> 00:13:16,379 he discovered the pyramids were buried 187 00:13:16,379 --> 00:13:19,007 in upwards of 12 feet of earth. 188 00:13:19,007 --> 00:13:22,719 He surmised that only a catastrophic event 189 00:13:22,719 --> 00:13:24,512 could account for the devastation. 190 00:13:26,806 --> 00:13:30,143 HART: It was covered under a deep layer of earth. 191 00:13:30,143 --> 00:13:31,602 And we have to ask why. 192 00:13:31,602 --> 00:13:33,896 How did it get covered in so much dirt? 193 00:13:33,896 --> 00:13:37,608 It would require an enormous amount of time 194 00:13:37,608 --> 00:13:39,027 ‐for nature to do it. ‐(thunder crashes) 195 00:13:40,820 --> 00:13:43,573 Unless you have a catastrophic flooding. 196 00:13:45,658 --> 00:13:47,452 DAVID CHILDRESS: You have to ask yourself: 197 00:13:47,452 --> 00:13:49,287 was there some big cataclysm 198 00:13:49,287 --> 00:13:51,956 that occurred here in prehistory? 199 00:13:51,956 --> 00:13:55,543 Possibly even the Great Flood 200 00:13:55,543 --> 00:13:58,963 that is spoken of in various mythologies around the world? 201 00:13:58,963 --> 00:14:02,341 This could mean that Teotihuacan 202 00:14:02,341 --> 00:14:05,553 is actually many, many thousands of years older 203 00:14:05,553 --> 00:14:07,722 than what archaeologists say. 204 00:14:09,474 --> 00:14:11,768 NARRATOR: According to the accounts recorded 205 00:14:11,768 --> 00:14:13,519 by Spanish chroniclers 206 00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:16,898 when they initially made contact with the locals, 207 00:14:16,898 --> 00:14:20,485 the Aztec believed that they were one of seven tribes 208 00:14:20,485 --> 00:14:23,029 to be created by the gods at a time 209 00:14:23,029 --> 00:14:25,114 after the world had been wiped clean 210 00:14:25,114 --> 00:14:27,158 due to a catastrophic event. 211 00:14:30,119 --> 00:14:32,538 They were the last group to leave the caves 212 00:14:32,538 --> 00:14:37,251 where they were created in order to repopulate the world. 213 00:14:37,251 --> 00:14:39,879 YOUNG: Teotihuacan is where they believe 214 00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:43,299 the gods had created humanity, had created all things, 215 00:14:43,299 --> 00:14:48,262 had created the sun, which they referred to as the "fifth sun." 216 00:14:48,262 --> 00:14:52,725 The Aztecs had a cosmology that involved five ages. 217 00:14:52,725 --> 00:14:56,229 They were solar ages, about 5,000 years long, 218 00:14:56,229 --> 00:14:59,398 and each one terminates in a disaster. 219 00:14:59,398 --> 00:15:03,611 The fourth age was called the "Water Sun," 220 00:15:03,611 --> 00:15:07,323 and it was presided over by the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue. 221 00:15:07,323 --> 00:15:11,994 She was the goddess who, at the end of the age, 222 00:15:11,994 --> 00:15:13,913 ‐poured the deluge on the Earth, ‐(thunder crashes) 223 00:15:13,913 --> 00:15:16,415 and flooded everything. 224 00:15:21,129 --> 00:15:22,755 NARRATOR: If the origins of the site 225 00:15:22,755 --> 00:15:24,590 are thousands of years older 226 00:15:24,590 --> 00:15:27,301 than mainstream archaeologists suggest, 227 00:15:27,301 --> 00:15:29,720 might this help explain why, 228 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,306 even after decades of excavations, 229 00:15:32,306 --> 00:15:34,225 they still haven't found evidence 230 00:15:34,225 --> 00:15:36,394 of who the site's rulers were? 231 00:15:36,394 --> 00:15:39,355 And could it also shed new light 232 00:15:39,355 --> 00:15:42,441 on recent perplexing discoveries? 233 00:15:44,402 --> 00:15:47,029 October, 2003. 234 00:15:48,614 --> 00:15:50,741 (thunder crashes) 235 00:15:50,741 --> 00:15:53,828 Torrential rains sweep through the ruins 236 00:15:53,828 --> 00:15:56,789 of this ancient pyramid complex... 237 00:15:56,789 --> 00:15:58,082 (thunder crashes) 238 00:15:58,082 --> 00:16:00,960 ...leaving a three‐foot‐wide sinkhole 239 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,422 at the foot of one of the site's most important structures: 240 00:16:04,422 --> 00:16:07,466 the Temple of the Feathered Serpent. 241 00:16:09,468 --> 00:16:13,181 Archaeologists immediately begin exploring the cavity. 242 00:16:16,684 --> 00:16:18,519 BARNHART: What they found is the tunnel 243 00:16:18,519 --> 00:16:20,313 leading from outside the temple 244 00:16:20,313 --> 00:16:24,483 all the way to about centerline underneath the temple. 245 00:16:24,483 --> 00:16:26,319 It was very filled in, 246 00:16:26,319 --> 00:16:29,071 probably by the Teotihuacanos themselves. 247 00:16:29,071 --> 00:16:31,324 But it's been a slow process to excavate. 248 00:16:32,658 --> 00:16:35,119 Halfway through down the tunnel, 249 00:16:35,119 --> 00:16:37,496 we find these two chambers on either side. 250 00:16:42,501 --> 00:16:44,587 As they continued down, 251 00:16:44,587 --> 00:16:47,465 they found three more chambers at the end. 252 00:16:47,465 --> 00:16:49,508 And those hold some incredible things. 253 00:16:52,136 --> 00:16:55,389 There were many jade statues in there. 254 00:16:56,807 --> 00:16:58,351 And ceramics. 255 00:17:01,854 --> 00:17:05,233 NARRATOR: In April, 2015, 256 00:17:05,233 --> 00:17:07,902 after nearly 12 years of excavations, 257 00:17:07,902 --> 00:17:11,322 archaeologist Sergio Gómez and his team 258 00:17:11,322 --> 00:17:13,908 make another shocking discovery. 259 00:17:13,908 --> 00:17:17,620 Directly underneath the center of the pyramid, 260 00:17:17,620 --> 00:17:20,957 they have located a vast pool of liquid mercury. 261 00:17:24,168 --> 00:17:26,128 WILCOCK: What makes this so interesting 262 00:17:26,128 --> 00:17:31,759 is that the mercury cannot exist in its native form in nature. 263 00:17:33,970 --> 00:17:37,098 There is a natural minerallac material called "cinnabar," 264 00:17:37,098 --> 00:17:38,808 and in order to get mercury, 265 00:17:38,808 --> 00:17:42,311 you have to extract it out of the cinnabar, 266 00:17:42,311 --> 00:17:46,566 which requires a complex process involving high temperatures. 267 00:17:46,566 --> 00:17:48,943 TSOUKALOS: It's a highly toxic element. 268 00:17:48,943 --> 00:17:51,320 It is difficult to extract. 269 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:55,575 So, the logistics behind this are incredible. 270 00:17:55,575 --> 00:17:57,785 How was it transported there? 271 00:17:57,785 --> 00:18:01,414 Where did it come from and for what purpose? 272 00:18:01,414 --> 00:18:08,212 Also, how did our ancestors handle liquid mercury 273 00:18:08,212 --> 00:18:09,422 without them dying out? 274 00:18:11,674 --> 00:18:14,510 Interestingly enough, the only other site 275 00:18:14,510 --> 00:18:18,014 that features liquid mercury is in China, 276 00:18:18,014 --> 00:18:23,227 inside the tomb of the first emperor. 277 00:18:23,227 --> 00:18:28,482 How come there is liquid mercury in a tomb in China, 278 00:18:28,482 --> 00:18:33,738 and now they've discovered liquid mercury 279 00:18:33,738 --> 00:18:36,115 in Teotihuacan? 280 00:18:36,115 --> 00:18:39,994 One has to ask the question: what was it used for? 281 00:18:39,994 --> 00:18:44,665 NARRATOR: Liquid mercury is a superconductor, 282 00:18:44,665 --> 00:18:49,295 and in our modern technological age, this class of elements 283 00:18:49,295 --> 00:18:51,964 is being used in revolutionary applications 284 00:18:51,964 --> 00:18:57,053 such as free‐energy generation, advanced medical imaging 285 00:18:57,053 --> 00:19:01,307 and cutting‐edge transportation projects. 286 00:19:01,307 --> 00:19:05,061 But why would there be vast amounts of mercury 287 00:19:05,061 --> 00:19:08,939 found under a nearly 2,000‐year‐old pyramid? 288 00:19:08,939 --> 00:19:12,360 Could it have served a technological purpose? 289 00:19:20,576 --> 00:19:23,496 NARRATOR: May, 2013. 290 00:19:23,496 --> 00:19:27,208 Just two years prior to the astounding discovery 291 00:19:27,208 --> 00:19:29,752 of liquid mercury at Teotihuacan, 292 00:19:29,752 --> 00:19:33,255 archaeologist Sergio Gómez and his team 293 00:19:33,255 --> 00:19:35,675 made another curious find: 294 00:19:35,675 --> 00:19:38,969 hundreds of gold‐colored metallic spheres 295 00:19:38,969 --> 00:19:41,055 scattered in the same tunnel 296 00:19:41,055 --> 00:19:43,808 beneath the Temple of the Feathered Serpent. 297 00:19:43,808 --> 00:19:46,686 The spheres ranged in diameter 298 00:19:46,686 --> 00:19:49,313 from just one inch up to five inches. 299 00:19:51,732 --> 00:19:53,067 There were hundreds of them. 300 00:19:53,067 --> 00:19:56,320 On the exterior, they were burned pyrite. 301 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,949 And on the interior, they're mostly clay. 302 00:19:59,949 --> 00:20:02,368 In fact, the entire chamber seems to have 303 00:20:02,368 --> 00:20:06,539 flecks of this golden pyrite or fool's gold all over it. 304 00:20:06,539 --> 00:20:08,666 I've never seen anything like it. 305 00:20:08,666 --> 00:20:13,587 I do not know what these things are, what their meaning is. 306 00:20:13,587 --> 00:20:16,340 To my knowledge, we've never found a chamber like that 307 00:20:16,340 --> 00:20:19,009 anywhere in Mesoamerica, 308 00:20:19,009 --> 00:20:21,512 certainly nowhere in Teotihuacan. 309 00:20:21,512 --> 00:20:25,015 It's an enigma, and neither I nor any of my colleagues 310 00:20:25,015 --> 00:20:26,517 know what to make of it. 311 00:20:29,812 --> 00:20:33,190 One of the findings of the analysis of these golden spheres 312 00:20:33,190 --> 00:20:38,195 was that there are substances in them that can't be identified, 313 00:20:38,195 --> 00:20:42,616 can't be related to other known Earth substances. 314 00:20:42,616 --> 00:20:46,245 The archeologists themselves cannot explain 315 00:20:46,245 --> 00:20:47,997 how these were formed, 316 00:20:47,997 --> 00:20:51,292 why is there anomalous organic material within them, 317 00:20:51,292 --> 00:20:54,920 or what purpose did they serve. 318 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,548 We have to wonder what these pyramids 319 00:20:57,548 --> 00:20:59,592 and this whole structure is about. 320 00:20:59,592 --> 00:21:03,012 What are these golden spheres about? 321 00:21:03,012 --> 00:21:07,475 And why is there mercury inside of this pyramid? 322 00:21:07,475 --> 00:21:10,728 It's almost like some kind of alien technology 323 00:21:10,728 --> 00:21:15,024 is being used at Teotihuacan, but we don't understand it. 324 00:21:15,024 --> 00:21:18,486 NARRATOR: The recent finds of mercury 325 00:21:18,486 --> 00:21:21,030 and the inexplicable golden spheres 326 00:21:21,030 --> 00:21:24,074 only add to the mystery of the site. 327 00:21:24,074 --> 00:21:29,413 In 1906, archaeologist Leopoldo Batres discovered 328 00:21:29,413 --> 00:21:34,210 layers of mica throughout the Teotihuacan complex. 329 00:21:34,210 --> 00:21:37,838 The discovery of entire sheets of this material, 330 00:21:37,838 --> 00:21:41,675 which is used in electrical and thermal applications, 331 00:21:41,675 --> 00:21:44,804 has baffled researchers, as it has not been found 332 00:21:44,804 --> 00:21:48,098 in any other ancient architecture. 333 00:21:48,098 --> 00:21:51,310 In a couple of different places in Teotihuacan, 334 00:21:51,310 --> 00:21:54,230 we've discovered sheets of mica. 335 00:21:54,230 --> 00:21:58,651 The first reports of them were supposedly that 336 00:21:58,651 --> 00:22:02,530 Leopold Batres had found these large sheets of mica 337 00:22:02,530 --> 00:22:05,449 on top of the Temple of the Sun. 338 00:22:07,076 --> 00:22:09,119 NARRATOR: Since that first discovery, 339 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:13,249 entire chambers lined with mica have allegedly been found 340 00:22:13,249 --> 00:22:16,293 at different locations along the Avenue of the Dead, 341 00:22:16,293 --> 00:22:20,297 but the areas are now off limits to visitors. 342 00:22:20,297 --> 00:22:26,262 Ever since the late 1990s, the Mexican government... 343 00:23:06,844 --> 00:23:11,807 NARRATOR: In the 1970s, author and researcher Erich von Daniken 344 00:23:11,807 --> 00:23:16,604 got a firsthand look into one of these mica chambers. 345 00:23:16,604 --> 00:23:20,149 I was brought there by a local archeologist who loved my books, 346 00:23:20,149 --> 00:23:22,234 and he said he can show me a mystery. 347 00:23:22,234 --> 00:23:25,946 There is a room, and the room has a ceiling, 348 00:23:25,946 --> 00:23:27,781 and has, of course, four walls. 349 00:23:27,781 --> 00:23:31,076 And in the four walls, you see mica. 350 00:23:31,076 --> 00:23:33,746 This mica is put in artificially. 351 00:23:33,746 --> 00:23:36,582 It's like an insulation. 352 00:23:36,582 --> 00:23:39,293 First, you have stone, then you have a level of mica, 353 00:23:39,293 --> 00:23:42,504 about ten centimeter, and then again stone. 354 00:23:42,504 --> 00:23:46,675 From this chamber where the mica is, there is a hole, 355 00:23:46,675 --> 00:23:49,803 and the hole is insulated with mica. 356 00:23:49,803 --> 00:23:52,973 And I have been told that the hole goes 357 00:23:52,973 --> 00:23:55,142 inside the great pyramid‐‐ 358 00:23:55,142 --> 00:23:57,603 the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan. 359 00:23:57,603 --> 00:24:00,314 That will be the next discovery. 360 00:24:02,691 --> 00:24:05,194 NARRATOR: Today, mica is used as a heat shield 361 00:24:05,194 --> 00:24:08,322 in electronic and aerospace industries. 362 00:24:08,322 --> 00:24:11,575 It has the unique properties of being a good insulator 363 00:24:11,575 --> 00:24:15,204 of electricity as well as a conductor of heat, 364 00:24:15,204 --> 00:24:18,332 and it is able to resist temperatures 365 00:24:18,332 --> 00:24:21,168 upwards of 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit. 366 00:24:23,045 --> 00:24:26,465 We use mica today with high technology. 367 00:24:26,465 --> 00:24:29,176 So one has to wonder, 368 00:24:29,176 --> 00:24:33,389 why is there a mica chamber at Teotihuacan? 369 00:24:33,389 --> 00:24:35,391 It's very brittle, 370 00:24:35,391 --> 00:24:39,436 but it's incredibly, incredibly heat resistant. 371 00:24:39,436 --> 00:24:45,234 Why was there any need for mica in the first place? 372 00:24:45,234 --> 00:24:48,696 GEORGE NOORY: There seems to be a correlation, though, 373 00:24:48,696 --> 00:24:52,116 between mica, liquid mercury, 374 00:24:52,116 --> 00:24:56,495 and these orbs or spheres that all seem to point 375 00:24:56,495 --> 00:25:00,207 to some high technology usage. 376 00:25:00,207 --> 00:25:02,001 What did they know, 377 00:25:02,001 --> 00:25:05,004 how did they know it is anybody's guess, 378 00:25:05,004 --> 00:25:07,339 but it just sounds like they needed these materials 379 00:25:07,339 --> 00:25:09,675 for something, and they used them. 380 00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:15,848 We have to wonder, are we looking at a technology? 381 00:25:15,848 --> 00:25:17,891 We see components of it 382 00:25:17,891 --> 00:25:20,978 that don't make sense just for a primitive culture. 383 00:25:20,978 --> 00:25:22,813 The pyramids 384 00:25:22,813 --> 00:25:25,399 and the various components could've been part of 385 00:25:25,399 --> 00:25:28,110 a sophisticated system of technology. 386 00:25:28,110 --> 00:25:31,405 NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut theorists propose 387 00:25:31,405 --> 00:25:34,450 that the mercury, mica, 388 00:25:34,450 --> 00:25:38,287 and gold‐colored spheres may be somehow connected 389 00:25:38,287 --> 00:25:42,750 and serve as components of a larger device. 390 00:25:42,750 --> 00:25:45,461 They suggest that further evidence 391 00:25:45,461 --> 00:25:48,505 can be found at the site by examining the remnants 392 00:25:48,505 --> 00:25:51,800 of an ancient explosion. 393 00:25:56,305 --> 00:25:59,224 NARRATOR: Teotihuacan. 394 00:25:59,224 --> 00:26:02,436 Along the Avenue of the Dead, 395 00:26:02,436 --> 00:26:04,438 multiple structures show evidence 396 00:26:04,438 --> 00:26:06,356 of a catastrophic fire 397 00:26:06,356 --> 00:26:09,943 that consumed portions of the temple complex. 398 00:26:09,943 --> 00:26:12,446 The damage has been attributed 399 00:26:12,446 --> 00:26:15,991 to an uprising at the end of the sixth century, 400 00:26:15,991 --> 00:26:19,912 just before the population entirely vanished 401 00:26:19,912 --> 00:26:21,246 without a trace. 402 00:26:23,957 --> 00:26:26,001 This structure, in particular, 403 00:26:26,001 --> 00:26:28,504 in spite of the many modern restorations... 404 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,065 NARRATOR: According to archaeologist Leopoldo Batres, 405 00:26:48,065 --> 00:26:50,984 who surveyed the site in the late 19th century, 406 00:26:50,984 --> 00:26:53,862 the damage seemed too extensive 407 00:26:53,862 --> 00:26:57,074 to be attributed to simple torch flames, 408 00:26:57,074 --> 00:27:00,869 leading researchers to explore alternative explanations. 409 00:27:18,846 --> 00:27:21,515 NARRATOR: Could the curious finds 410 00:27:21,515 --> 00:27:23,934 of mica and mercury at the site 411 00:27:23,934 --> 00:27:27,646 help corroborate the theory that the burn marks we see 412 00:27:27,646 --> 00:27:29,231 along the Avenue of the Dead 413 00:27:29,231 --> 00:27:32,317 are from some sort of mechanical explosion? 414 00:27:32,317 --> 00:27:36,655 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, 415 00:27:36,655 --> 00:27:39,741 and they suggest that like the Great Pyramid at Giza 416 00:27:39,741 --> 00:27:42,828 and other sites throughout the globe, 417 00:27:42,828 --> 00:27:45,914 the structures at Teotihuacan may have once served 418 00:27:45,914 --> 00:27:48,834 as an electromagnetic power plant. 419 00:27:51,420 --> 00:27:53,338 Researchers proposed that the pyramids 420 00:27:53,338 --> 00:27:56,383 constructed around the world are, in fact, power plants. 421 00:27:56,383 --> 00:27:58,886 This is based on our new knowledge 422 00:27:58,886 --> 00:28:00,762 that they, in fact, are designed 423 00:28:00,762 --> 00:28:03,181 to tap the resonant power of the Earth 424 00:28:03,181 --> 00:28:06,310 and then to distribute it around the world. 425 00:28:06,310 --> 00:28:10,063 Teotihuacan matches precisely this model. 426 00:28:10,063 --> 00:28:11,982 It's built over caverns, 427 00:28:11,982 --> 00:28:15,444 it had liquid mercury and mica incorporated into its design, 428 00:28:15,444 --> 00:28:18,488 and we know that the gods came and left from this place. 429 00:28:18,488 --> 00:28:21,575 So when we put all the pieces together, 430 00:28:21,575 --> 00:28:24,870 we're looking at Teotihuacan as yet another example 431 00:28:24,870 --> 00:28:26,955 of the power plants of the gods. 432 00:28:28,582 --> 00:28:31,960 If it was a technological system 433 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,547 that was generating a lot of energy, at some point, 434 00:28:35,547 --> 00:28:38,133 there could've been a malfunction in it. 435 00:28:38,133 --> 00:28:42,137 If there was energy, the mica found at the site 436 00:28:42,137 --> 00:28:44,181 was supposed to shield it, 437 00:28:44,181 --> 00:28:47,351 and mercury‐‐ was also found at the site‐‐ 438 00:28:47,351 --> 00:28:49,478 seems to have been used. 439 00:28:49,478 --> 00:28:52,230 Perhaps we had some kind of accident there 440 00:28:52,230 --> 00:28:54,107 at some point in time. 441 00:29:02,032 --> 00:29:05,118 NARRATOR: If Teotihuacan served as an ancient power plant, 442 00:29:05,118 --> 00:29:08,163 generating electromagnetic energy, 443 00:29:08,163 --> 00:29:10,749 just what role did the liquid mercury‐‐ 444 00:29:10,749 --> 00:29:12,584 recently discovered at the site‐‐ 445 00:29:12,584 --> 00:29:14,294 play in such a scenario? 446 00:29:16,672 --> 00:29:19,549 There's stories of mercury being used in spacecraft. 447 00:29:21,635 --> 00:29:23,971 And some of the ancient Indian epics 448 00:29:23,971 --> 00:29:27,182 talk about mercury as part of the vimanas 449 00:29:27,182 --> 00:29:29,142 and the mechanics of these craft. 450 00:29:29,142 --> 00:29:33,230 So here we have the idea that this mercury 451 00:29:33,230 --> 00:29:36,900 that's being found at archeological sites 452 00:29:36,900 --> 00:29:40,946 is really part of the propulsion of some of the craft 453 00:29:40,946 --> 00:29:44,533 that the extraterrestrials were using here on Earth. 454 00:29:48,704 --> 00:29:50,247 NARRATOR: Los Angeles, California. 455 00:29:52,416 --> 00:29:56,044 February, 2017. 456 00:29:56,044 --> 00:30:00,340 Physicist James Lincoln has been experimenting 457 00:30:00,340 --> 00:30:02,342 with superconductors like mercury 458 00:30:02,342 --> 00:30:04,428 and the levitation effects produced 459 00:30:04,428 --> 00:30:08,265 in the presence of strong electromagnetic fields, 460 00:30:08,265 --> 00:30:10,517 such as those suspected of being generated 461 00:30:10,517 --> 00:30:12,936 by the ancient pyramid power plants. 462 00:30:14,855 --> 00:30:17,858 Author and researcher David Wilcock 463 00:30:17,858 --> 00:30:19,609 visited his laboratory 464 00:30:19,609 --> 00:30:22,529 to see how electromagnetism creates an environment 465 00:30:22,529 --> 00:30:24,614 that allows mercury to levitate. 466 00:30:24,614 --> 00:30:27,242 ‐Good to meet you. ‐Nice to meet you. Yes. 467 00:30:27,242 --> 00:30:28,744 NARRATOR: The demonstration will utilize 468 00:30:28,744 --> 00:30:30,829 a conventional superconductor material 469 00:30:30,829 --> 00:30:33,498 in place of mercury due to its toxicity. 470 00:30:36,835 --> 00:30:38,462 What am I about to see here? 471 00:30:38,462 --> 00:30:41,506 Now, one of the signatures of a superconductor 472 00:30:41,506 --> 00:30:43,967 is that once it reaches its critical temperature, 473 00:30:43,967 --> 00:30:46,303 as being it's cold enough, 474 00:30:46,303 --> 00:30:49,848 it will actually levitate over a magnetic field. 475 00:30:49,848 --> 00:30:51,683 That is unbelievable. 476 00:30:51,683 --> 00:30:54,811 LINCOLN: We can actually make it go around the track. 477 00:30:54,811 --> 00:30:58,315 This is the signature behavior of any superconductor 478 00:30:58,315 --> 00:31:00,484 in the presence of a magnetic field. 479 00:31:00,484 --> 00:31:03,236 It generates electricity flowing in loops 480 00:31:03,236 --> 00:31:04,988 inside of a superconductor. 481 00:31:04,988 --> 00:31:07,240 ‐That's why it floats. ‐WILCOCK: Wow. 482 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,202 There's not really an upper limit 483 00:31:10,202 --> 00:31:11,745 to how fast this thing can go. 484 00:31:11,745 --> 00:31:13,705 WILCOCK: So there's a flow of current 485 00:31:13,705 --> 00:31:16,166 in the disc as it's going? 486 00:31:16,166 --> 00:31:19,252 LINCOLN: Yes. Once these electric currents are generated, 487 00:31:19,252 --> 00:31:21,254 it's free and permanent 488 00:31:21,254 --> 00:31:23,632 and can last as long as you can keep it cold. 489 00:31:23,632 --> 00:31:26,968 WILCOCK: Wow. Very, very cool. 490 00:31:26,968 --> 00:31:30,305 So if you had mercury here 491 00:31:30,305 --> 00:31:32,349 and got it really, really cold, th‐this same type 492 00:31:32,349 --> 00:31:34,476 of effect would occur, or would we notice anything different? 493 00:31:34,476 --> 00:31:36,269 LINCOLN: We would be able to get the same effect 494 00:31:36,269 --> 00:31:38,313 if we managed to get this cold enough. 495 00:31:38,313 --> 00:31:41,066 ‐Okay. ‐Mercury is also a superconductor. 496 00:31:41,066 --> 00:31:42,526 In fact, it was the first superconductor 497 00:31:42,526 --> 00:31:44,027 ‐ever discovered. ‐Okay. 498 00:31:44,027 --> 00:31:47,656 And this one can be anywhere, any orientation, 499 00:31:47,656 --> 00:31:49,825 whether I put it on forward or backwards 500 00:31:49,825 --> 00:31:53,453 or even upside down, it still works. 501 00:31:56,623 --> 00:31:58,542 And here we're seeing it 502 00:31:58,542 --> 00:32:02,587 held perfectly in place, zipping along on its own. 503 00:32:02,587 --> 00:32:04,673 Now that is truly remarkable. 504 00:32:07,300 --> 00:32:10,804 This, to me, looks like a flying saucer. 505 00:32:10,804 --> 00:32:13,515 It does look a lot like a flying saucer. 506 00:32:13,515 --> 00:32:15,642 In fact, you can get it to avoid obstacles, 507 00:32:15,642 --> 00:32:18,645 like you would want from any hovering technology. 508 00:32:18,645 --> 00:32:21,148 So, here I'm placing some little debris on the track, 509 00:32:21,148 --> 00:32:24,693 and let's see if it, uh, can get over this, uh, pile of sticks. 510 00:32:24,693 --> 00:32:25,944 WILCOCK: Sure. 511 00:32:28,196 --> 00:32:29,865 ‐LINCOLN: No trouble. ‐No resistance. 512 00:32:29,865 --> 00:32:31,783 Yeah, so now you can imagine it flying over forests, 513 00:32:31,783 --> 00:32:33,618 if it was large enough, 514 00:32:33,618 --> 00:32:36,746 and if you managed to have enough magnetism on the surface 515 00:32:36,746 --> 00:32:38,248 for that to happen. 516 00:32:38,248 --> 00:32:39,457 Unbelievable. 517 00:32:42,878 --> 00:32:46,798 If this technology could be scaled up, 518 00:32:46,798 --> 00:32:50,635 could we have something that potentially people could be able 519 00:32:50,635 --> 00:32:53,430 to ride in as a craft? 520 00:32:53,430 --> 00:32:56,391 LINCOLN: Yeah. If you keep the superconductor cold. 521 00:32:56,391 --> 00:32:58,101 ‐WILCOCK: Huh. ‐LINCOLN: And you imagine 522 00:32:58,101 --> 00:32:59,895 ‐it has to have a chamber of liquid nitrogen. ‐Right. 523 00:32:59,895 --> 00:33:02,272 And you have enough magnetism over a surface, 524 00:33:02,272 --> 00:33:06,443 then there's no upper limit to how big this can be. 525 00:33:06,443 --> 00:33:08,653 So, if there were some way to make this 526 00:33:08,653 --> 00:33:13,241 a self‐contained continuously cooling unit, 527 00:33:13,241 --> 00:33:15,785 theoretically at least, would it be able 528 00:33:15,785 --> 00:33:18,496 to keep doing what it's doing right now indefinitely? 529 00:33:18,496 --> 00:33:20,624 LINCOLN: Well, yes. 530 00:33:20,624 --> 00:33:23,001 It will last, uh, as long as it stays cold. 531 00:33:23,001 --> 00:33:25,712 People have had superconductors lasting for years already 532 00:33:25,712 --> 00:33:27,672 with currents flowing in them. 533 00:33:27,672 --> 00:33:29,883 And there's a lot of places that are cold enough 534 00:33:29,883 --> 00:33:31,343 that that would work. 535 00:33:31,343 --> 00:33:33,678 ‐For example, outer space. ‐WILCOCK: Right. 536 00:33:36,014 --> 00:33:39,059 We're seeing a very intriguing connection here. 537 00:33:39,059 --> 00:33:43,313 Teotihuacan may be a location 538 00:33:43,313 --> 00:33:45,815 in which exotic technology was used 539 00:33:45,815 --> 00:33:48,860 to create an electromagnetic field. 540 00:33:48,860 --> 00:33:51,279 And therefore, the area around the pyramid 541 00:33:51,279 --> 00:33:54,407 may have been an area in which levitation 542 00:33:54,407 --> 00:33:56,993 was much easier for a flying saucer 543 00:33:56,993 --> 00:33:59,537 that involved liquid mercury as a fuel. 544 00:34:01,581 --> 00:34:05,585 Teotihuacan may have been the Cape Canaveral of its day. 545 00:34:07,379 --> 00:34:08,964 Today most space facilities 546 00:34:08,964 --> 00:34:12,842 are built as close to the equator as possible 547 00:34:12,842 --> 00:34:16,721 to take advantage of the Earth's rotation. 548 00:34:16,721 --> 00:34:20,225 And Teotihuacan is relatively near the equator, 549 00:34:20,225 --> 00:34:23,311 and so it would be an ideal spot 550 00:34:23,311 --> 00:34:26,481 as a spaceport for extraterrestrial vehicles 551 00:34:26,481 --> 00:34:28,858 to land and take off. 552 00:34:31,486 --> 00:34:34,364 NARRATOR: Is it possible that Teotihuacan 553 00:34:34,364 --> 00:34:37,701 functioned as some sort of extraterrestrial spaceport, 554 00:34:37,701 --> 00:34:42,455 one capable of generating electromagnetic power 555 00:34:42,455 --> 00:34:46,126 to support interstellar craft fueled by liquid mercury? 556 00:34:46,126 --> 00:34:49,546 Perhaps further evidence can be found 557 00:34:49,546 --> 00:34:54,843 by examining a planetary map encoded in the city's layout. 558 00:35:00,265 --> 00:35:03,560 NARRATOR: March, 2017. 559 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:08,231 Archaeologists continue to dig under the pyramid complex, 560 00:35:08,231 --> 00:35:11,109 in an attempt to answer the many mysteries 561 00:35:11,109 --> 00:35:14,154 of Teotihuacan. 562 00:35:14,154 --> 00:35:17,115 The discoveries of liquid mercury, 563 00:35:17,115 --> 00:35:20,076 walls lined with mica, 564 00:35:20,076 --> 00:35:24,039 and strange artifacts like the golden spheres 565 00:35:24,039 --> 00:35:27,334 point to the possibility that an advanced society 566 00:35:27,334 --> 00:35:29,336 once occupied this city. 567 00:35:29,336 --> 00:35:34,716 But some researchers suggest even greater clues can be found 568 00:35:34,716 --> 00:35:39,137 by examining the layout of the entire complex. 569 00:35:39,137 --> 00:35:44,392 Three of the major structures contained within Teotihuacan 570 00:35:44,392 --> 00:35:48,063 have been found to line up with the three belt stars of Orion, 571 00:35:48,063 --> 00:35:51,191 a connection that is also mirrored 572 00:35:51,191 --> 00:35:55,737 in the layout of the pyramids at the Giza Plateau in Egypt. 573 00:35:55,737 --> 00:35:59,366 And the positioning of the main thoroughfare, 574 00:35:59,366 --> 00:36:01,493 known as the Avenue of the Dead, 575 00:36:01,493 --> 00:36:04,287 is directed toward the Pleiades star cluster. 576 00:36:06,539 --> 00:36:09,084 But perhaps the most intriguing connection 577 00:36:09,084 --> 00:36:11,461 was proposed in the 1970s 578 00:36:11,461 --> 00:36:15,757 by American engineer Hugh Harleston Jr. 579 00:36:15,757 --> 00:36:18,385 HART: In 1972, Hugh Harleston 580 00:36:18,385 --> 00:36:21,262 undertook a study of the site. 581 00:36:21,262 --> 00:36:23,723 And he was trying to determine mathematically 582 00:36:23,723 --> 00:36:26,142 if he could break down or discover 583 00:36:26,142 --> 00:36:29,312 a standard unit of measure at Teotihuacan. 584 00:36:29,312 --> 00:36:31,898 The conclusion that Harleston came up with 585 00:36:31,898 --> 00:36:35,819 in all his measurements, he found consistent numbers. 586 00:36:35,819 --> 00:36:38,988 And he discovered that they reflected 587 00:36:38,988 --> 00:36:43,118 mathematical principles that involved units, intervals, 588 00:36:43,118 --> 00:36:46,162 and the spacing of the planets. 589 00:36:46,162 --> 00:36:51,084 WILCOCK: He found the actual derivation of the solar system 590 00:36:51,084 --> 00:36:53,878 with the planets, their correct distances from one another, 591 00:36:53,878 --> 00:36:56,798 actually laid out 592 00:36:56,798 --> 00:37:00,427 in the spacings of the monuments at this complex. 593 00:37:00,427 --> 00:37:04,305 NARRATOR: Harleston noted that the intervals 594 00:37:04,305 --> 00:37:07,600 between the major structures corresponded exactly 595 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,937 to the distances between the various planets. 596 00:37:10,937 --> 00:37:14,149 WILCOCK: There is a very clear rationale 597 00:37:14,149 --> 00:37:16,359 for the positioning of these artifacts, 598 00:37:16,359 --> 00:37:18,945 and it's only once you get into their measurements 599 00:37:18,945 --> 00:37:21,740 that you start to see compelling proof 600 00:37:21,740 --> 00:37:23,950 that this is intended to be 601 00:37:23,950 --> 00:37:27,078 an accurate map of our solar system. 602 00:37:29,664 --> 00:37:32,167 NARRATOR: Even the distance of the asteroid belt 603 00:37:32,167 --> 00:37:35,378 between Mars and Jupiter was correctly plotted 604 00:37:35,378 --> 00:37:38,631 by the diversion of the San Juan River through the site. 605 00:37:38,631 --> 00:37:41,551 CHILDRESS: Harleston believed 606 00:37:41,551 --> 00:37:44,679 that a man‐made canal that was cut 607 00:37:44,679 --> 00:37:47,557 through Teotihuacan represented the asteroid belt, 608 00:37:47,557 --> 00:37:51,102 which was not something known to ancient people. 609 00:37:53,271 --> 00:37:56,065 Whoever built Teotihuacan, 610 00:37:56,065 --> 00:37:58,568 they had full knowledge of our solar system 611 00:37:58,568 --> 00:38:02,197 and knowledge that ancient people could not have had. 612 00:38:02,197 --> 00:38:05,492 NARRATOR: Three and a half miles away, 613 00:38:05,492 --> 00:38:08,077 on top of the Cerro Gordo mountain range, 614 00:38:08,077 --> 00:38:13,666 Harleston also located the ruins of the Temple of Xóchitl, 615 00:38:13,666 --> 00:38:17,170 which fell directly in sight line of the Avenue of the Dead. 616 00:38:19,506 --> 00:38:21,257 CHILDRESS: Harleston believed 617 00:38:21,257 --> 00:38:24,677 that this temple was mathematically showing 618 00:38:24,677 --> 00:38:27,972 that there was a planet beyond Pluto, 619 00:38:27,972 --> 00:38:30,391 twice as far as Pluto, 620 00:38:30,391 --> 00:38:34,687 that was somehow orbiting around our solar system. 621 00:38:34,687 --> 00:38:38,650 NARRATOR: Curiously, in 2016, 622 00:38:38,650 --> 00:38:40,652 planetary scientists 623 00:38:40,652 --> 00:38:43,988 from the California Institute of Technology announced 624 00:38:43,988 --> 00:38:47,200 that they had found preliminary evidence of the existence 625 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,787 of an unknown planet beyond Pluto. 626 00:38:50,787 --> 00:38:54,082 Would such a revelation give further credence 627 00:38:54,082 --> 00:38:57,460 to the idea that the inhabitants of Teotihuacan 628 00:38:57,460 --> 00:39:00,505 had intimate knowledge of our solar system, 629 00:39:00,505 --> 00:39:03,633 and that the site served as an ancient spaceport, 630 00:39:03,633 --> 00:39:08,555 one that might still be active today? 631 00:39:15,270 --> 00:39:18,898 NARRATOR: May 4, 2015. 632 00:39:18,898 --> 00:39:23,570 A tourist visiting the ancient pyramid complex of Teotihuacan 633 00:39:23,570 --> 00:39:26,573 takes a photograph featuring the Pyramid of the Sun. 634 00:39:26,573 --> 00:39:28,324 (camera whirs, clicks) 635 00:39:28,324 --> 00:39:32,412 He thinks nothing of it until he later reviews the photo 636 00:39:32,412 --> 00:39:36,207 and notices two strange objects hovering over the pyramid. 637 00:39:39,502 --> 00:39:41,838 Upon closer examination, 638 00:39:41,838 --> 00:39:46,301 they appear to be silver disk‐shaped craft. 639 00:39:46,301 --> 00:39:49,470 What's strange about the two UFOs photographed 640 00:39:49,470 --> 00:39:52,724 above the Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan is 641 00:39:52,724 --> 00:39:55,101 ‐that only ten seconds later, ‐(camera clicks) 642 00:39:55,101 --> 00:40:01,649 a second photograph was taken and those two objects were gone. 643 00:40:01,649 --> 00:40:05,486 So, clearly, we're not talking about Mylar balloons here. 644 00:40:05,486 --> 00:40:07,947 There's nothing floating in the sky anymore. 645 00:40:07,947 --> 00:40:11,200 And if they would have been Mylar balloons, well, 646 00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:15,079 they don't move that fast to just (whistles) disappear. 647 00:40:17,415 --> 00:40:19,751 There has been a long history 648 00:40:19,751 --> 00:40:23,338 of UFO sightings and unusual events 649 00:40:23,338 --> 00:40:27,800 in Teotihuacan, particularly around the pyramids, 650 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,054 which perhaps are somehow attracting UFOs 651 00:40:31,054 --> 00:40:32,555 and extraterrestrials. 652 00:40:36,851 --> 00:40:39,604 NARRATOR: Is there more going on at Teotihuacan 653 00:40:39,604 --> 00:40:41,564 than archaeologists realize? 654 00:40:43,858 --> 00:40:47,070 Could there be secrets about our extraterrestrial past 655 00:40:47,070 --> 00:40:51,574 left for us to discover at this ancient city? 656 00:40:51,574 --> 00:40:53,701 HART: At Teotihuacan, 657 00:40:53,701 --> 00:40:57,413 so far only ten percent has been excavated. 658 00:40:57,413 --> 00:41:02,126 That means there's 90% that remains to be dug up. 659 00:41:02,126 --> 00:41:05,546 How much more is there at the site? 660 00:41:05,546 --> 00:41:07,423 We have no idea. 661 00:41:07,423 --> 00:41:11,052 But we have to ask, if we continue and press on, 662 00:41:11,052 --> 00:41:14,681 might we find the artifacts, the components 663 00:41:14,681 --> 00:41:16,891 that start to put the pieces together, 664 00:41:16,891 --> 00:41:20,561 and perhaps lead us to a much clearer concept 665 00:41:20,561 --> 00:41:24,065 of who these beings were that built this? 666 00:41:24,065 --> 00:41:26,359 CHILDRESS: We don't know what they will find 667 00:41:26,359 --> 00:41:28,069 in the future, but I suspect 668 00:41:28,069 --> 00:41:31,239 they'll make some startling discoveries. 669 00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:35,284 There's many things in our past that we just don't understand, 670 00:41:35,284 --> 00:41:38,997 but it's possible that the answers, or some of them, 671 00:41:38,997 --> 00:41:40,373 are at Teotihuacan. 672 00:41:40,373 --> 00:41:42,750 NARRATOR: Is it possible 673 00:41:42,750 --> 00:41:45,128 that the ancient complex of Teotihuacan 674 00:41:45,128 --> 00:41:47,714 was an extraterrestrial spaceport? 675 00:41:47,714 --> 00:41:50,925 Might it still hold the very fuel 676 00:41:50,925 --> 00:41:54,971 that was used to power alien craft? 677 00:41:54,971 --> 00:41:58,016 Perhaps the secrets of Teotihuacan 678 00:41:58,016 --> 00:42:00,309 will ultimately be revealed 679 00:42:00,309 --> 00:42:06,435 in time for mankind's alien ancestors to return. 55115
