23 00:01:18,121 --> 00:01:19,688 We start our countdown 24 00:01:19,818 --> 00:01:22,169 with the tallest stone in England, 25 00:01:22,256 --> 00:01:24,519 which also happens to be a hot spot 26 00:01:24,736 --> 00:01:27,957 for strange hovering orbs. 27 00:01:28,088 --> 00:01:32,483 At number ten on our countdown of mysterious monoliths: 28 00:01:32,657 --> 00:01:33,919 the Rudston Monolith. 29 00:01:39,969 --> 00:01:42,319 Rudston, England. 30 00:01:42,537 --> 00:01:46,367 At the north end of this quaint village in Yorkshire 31 00:01:46,541 --> 00:01:49,370 stands a 12th-century parish church 32 00:01:49,544 --> 00:01:52,068 that is famous throughout the region. 33 00:01:52,242 --> 00:01:54,418 Not because of the church itself 34 00:01:54,505 --> 00:01:56,768 but because of an ancient monolith 35 00:01:56,899 --> 00:01:59,945 that towers above the church cemetery. 36 00:02:01,164 --> 00:02:02,644 The Rudston Monolith 37 00:02:02,818 --> 00:02:05,647 is the tallest standing stone in Britain. 38 00:02:06,909 --> 00:02:10,173 Currently, it is 25 feet in height, 39 00:02:10,347 --> 00:02:12,567 and it weighs 40 tons. 40 00:02:12,784 --> 00:02:15,744 Archaeologists believe the Rudston Monolith 41 00:02:15,874 --> 00:02:19,574 dates back to at least 2000 BC. 42 00:02:19,704 --> 00:02:21,489 And according to local historians, 43 00:02:21,663 --> 00:02:25,014 the giant standing stone has been associated 44 00:02:25,188 --> 00:02:29,279 with strange phenomena in the area for centuries. 45 00:02:29,453 --> 00:02:31,333 We have reports of high strangeness 46 00:02:31,455 --> 00:02:35,720 in the region dating back to the tenth century. 47 00:02:35,894 --> 00:02:39,376 We have accounts of lights in the sky, 48 00:02:39,463 --> 00:02:41,639 intelligent light forms 49 00:02:41,770 --> 00:02:45,295 that seem to have a purpose and a will of their own. 50 00:02:45,382 --> 00:02:47,254 So you have to wonder, 51 00:02:47,384 --> 00:02:49,256 is the Rudston Monolith there 52 00:02:49,430 --> 00:02:51,649 because of all these strange effects? 53 00:02:51,823 --> 00:02:54,652 Or perhaps the Rudston Monolith itself 54 00:02:54,783 --> 00:02:57,046 is helping create some of these effects? 55 00:02:57,133 --> 00:02:59,570 Could this ancient monolith 56 00:02:59,744 --> 00:03:02,399 be a magnet for unusual phenomena? 57 00:03:02,573 --> 00:03:04,793 And if so, how? 58 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,839 According to ancient astronaut theorists, 59 00:03:08,013 --> 00:03:10,494 there may be a connection to the fact 60 00:03:10,668 --> 00:03:13,889 that the Rudston Monolith stands at a convergence point 61 00:03:14,063 --> 00:03:16,718 of what are known as "ley lines." 62 00:03:16,892 --> 00:03:18,981 Ley lines are identified 63 00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:22,027 when numerous significant ancient sites line up 64 00:03:22,202 --> 00:03:24,595 in perfectly straight lines. 65 00:03:24,769 --> 00:03:28,120 And researchers have found that along these ley lines, 66 00:03:28,295 --> 00:03:31,385 there are strong Earth energy currents. 67 00:03:31,559 --> 00:03:34,431 The Rudston Monolith, apparently, 68 00:03:34,605 --> 00:03:38,435 is at a junction of three ley lines. 69 00:03:38,653 --> 00:03:42,787 And there's an energy associated with these. 70 00:03:42,961 --> 00:03:44,746 It's a subtle energy, but it's there, 71 00:03:44,876 --> 00:03:49,620 and it can be amplified by these standing stones. 72 00:03:49,751 --> 00:03:52,057 The ancients knew what they were doing. 73 00:03:52,275 --> 00:03:54,799 They were placing these stones in specific spots 74 00:03:54,973 --> 00:03:56,975 and it would affect the energy. 75 00:03:57,149 --> 00:03:59,891 But were they working with other beings to do this? 76 00:04:00,109 --> 00:04:01,669 You have to ask these kind of questions, 77 00:04:01,806 --> 00:04:03,504 because why would they do it? 78 00:04:03,678 --> 00:04:06,681 It seems as if it was the result 79 00:04:06,811 --> 00:04:10,380 of some kind of contact with entities, 80 00:04:10,554 --> 00:04:12,382 perhaps even extraterrestrials. 81 00:04:15,429 --> 00:04:18,127 One of the most remarkable things I've ever seen 82 00:04:18,301 --> 00:04:21,696 is a giant monument in the countryside of Japan 83 00:04:21,870 --> 00:04:24,394 that is one of the largest and oldest monoliths 84 00:04:24,568 --> 00:04:25,830 anywhere on Earth. 85 00:04:26,004 --> 00:04:27,876 And what's even more intriguing 86 00:04:28,006 --> 00:04:31,706 is that ancient lore claims that this massive stone 87 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:36,232 was carved to resemble a ship that flew through the sky. 88 00:04:38,103 --> 00:04:41,716 the Ishi no Hoden monument. 89 00:04:46,895 --> 00:04:49,071 Takasago, Japan. 90 00:04:50,290 --> 00:04:54,206 This small city just west of Osaka 91 00:04:54,337 --> 00:04:56,818 is home to one of the most extraordinary wonders 92 00:04:56,992 --> 00:04:59,081 of the ancient world, 93 00:04:59,211 --> 00:05:02,519 a colossal monolith called Ishi no Hoden, 94 00:05:02,650 --> 00:05:04,304 or "the Floating Stone." 95 00:05:05,435 --> 00:05:07,698 Standing 18 feet tall, 96 00:05:07,872 --> 00:05:12,399 21 feet wide and almost 24 feet thick, 97 00:05:12,573 --> 00:05:16,577 the Ishi no Hoden is estimated to weigh 500 tons, 98 00:05:16,751 --> 00:05:20,189 making it one of the largest monoliths on Earth. 99 00:05:22,191 --> 00:05:24,541 In 2017, 100 00:05:24,628 --> 00:05:27,675 Giorgio Tsoukalos traveled to the Oshiko shrine 101 00:05:27,849 --> 00:05:31,200 to investigate the colossal monolith. 102 00:05:31,374 --> 00:05:34,203 He is joined by fellow ancient astronaut theorist 103 00:05:34,377 --> 00:05:35,683 Takeharu Mikami. 104 00:05:41,776 --> 00:05:43,517 Wow. 105 00:05:43,647 --> 00:05:45,214 It's gigantic. 106 00:05:46,868 --> 00:05:48,652 I-I want to... I need to walk around. 107 00:05:50,785 --> 00:05:54,919 I mean, I had no idea how massive this is. 108 00:05:55,050 --> 00:05:58,706 Archaeologists have been unable to date its construction, 109 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,273 but according to Japanese mythology, 110 00:06:01,448 --> 00:06:06,235 the Ishi no Hoden could be more than 16,000 years old. 111 00:06:06,409 --> 00:06:09,630 The massive monument is made of volcanic tuff 112 00:06:09,804 --> 00:06:13,764 and was carved in place out of the surrounding bedrock. 113 00:06:13,895 --> 00:06:17,986 Its name, "Floating Stone," comes from a unique feature 114 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,989 that can be seen under the huge rock. 115 00:06:24,471 --> 00:06:26,734 So, you want to just look down below here. 116 00:06:28,388 --> 00:06:29,613 It looks like it's floating 117 00:06:29,693 --> 00:06:30,999 over the water. 118 00:06:31,173 --> 00:06:33,088 It really does. 119 00:06:33,218 --> 00:06:35,133 But what interests Giorgio the most 120 00:06:35,307 --> 00:06:37,919 is what the monolith is said to represent. 121 00:06:43,185 --> 00:06:45,274 So, this monolith is said to be related 122 00:06:45,405 --> 00:06:47,407 to one of the first gods 123 00:06:47,537 --> 00:06:49,670 that descended from the heavens to Japan, 124 00:06:49,844 --> 00:06:53,935 and he is said to have traveled over the country 125 00:06:54,109 --> 00:06:57,678 on a-a sky ship made out of a giant rock. 126 00:06:57,808 --> 00:06:59,556 So, what you're telling me is that there is 127 00:06:59,636 --> 00:07:02,813 an ancient Japanese legend that speaks of a deity 128 00:07:02,987 --> 00:07:04,989 flying around in the sky 129 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,341 with a gigantic vehicle made of stone? 130 00:07:09,559 --> 00:07:11,300 Absolutely. 131 00:07:13,955 --> 00:07:18,481 The fact that they used this water mirror 132 00:07:18,612 --> 00:07:23,138 underneath this stone to show as if it is hovering 133 00:07:23,312 --> 00:07:25,619 and floating in the air, 134 00:07:25,793 --> 00:07:28,752 to me, is one of the smoking guns 135 00:07:28,970 --> 00:07:30,972 by our ancestors 136 00:07:31,189 --> 00:07:35,716 to show that these things were actually in the sky. 137 00:07:38,719 --> 00:07:40,938 Our next mysterious monoliths 138 00:07:41,112 --> 00:07:45,029 are an instantly recognizable symbol of ancient Egypt. 139 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,598 They are the most perfectly carved stones in existence, 140 00:07:48,772 --> 00:07:51,079 and some of the largest as well. 141 00:07:51,166 --> 00:07:54,604 But what most people don't know is that these towering pillars 142 00:07:54,735 --> 00:07:58,478 were seen as points of contact with the gods. 143 00:08:01,176 --> 00:08:04,658 At number eight on our list: obelisks. 144 00:08:10,664 --> 00:08:13,710 Thousands of years ago, the people here produced 145 00:08:13,884 --> 00:08:17,279 some of the most enduring monuments on Earth, 146 00:08:17,453 --> 00:08:20,674 including massive pyramids, elaborate temples 147 00:08:20,891 --> 00:08:24,025 and some of the largest monoliths ever created, 148 00:08:24,199 --> 00:08:27,115 called obelisks. 149 00:08:27,245 --> 00:08:31,162 The Egyptian obelisk is one of the most unique 150 00:08:31,293 --> 00:08:33,861 pieces of architecture in ancient Egypt. 151 00:08:33,991 --> 00:08:36,211 Every obelisk you look at, 152 00:08:36,428 --> 00:08:39,780 it is geometrically perfect. 153 00:08:39,867 --> 00:08:42,652 They were always made of granite, 154 00:08:42,826 --> 00:08:44,306 and they were four-sided, 155 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,396 and towered upwards 156 00:08:47,570 --> 00:08:52,314 and eventually ended in this perfect pyramid. 157 00:08:54,751 --> 00:08:59,321 Most obelisks are between 70 and 100 feet tall, 158 00:08:59,408 --> 00:09:02,324 and they can weigh over 100 tons. 159 00:09:02,498 --> 00:09:05,066 But what compelled the Egyptians 160 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,157 to carve such perfect monoliths in the first place? 161 00:09:09,287 --> 00:09:12,595 Perhaps the answer can be found by taking a closer look 162 00:09:12,769 --> 00:09:16,773 at the unique properties of this stone. 163 00:09:16,947 --> 00:09:20,211 Obelisks, they're a piece of crystalline granite, 164 00:09:20,342 --> 00:09:24,520 and within the granite is quartz crystal. 165 00:09:24,694 --> 00:09:30,439 So, obelisks themselves are, in a sense, a crystal tower. 166 00:09:30,613 --> 00:09:32,615 It's an antenna. 167 00:09:32,789 --> 00:09:36,097 And any antenna can receive a broadcast 168 00:09:36,271 --> 00:09:39,622 and it can give a broadcast. 169 00:09:39,796 --> 00:09:45,802 Could it be that 4,000-year-old obelisks were antennas? 170 00:09:45,976 --> 00:09:48,457 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest 171 00:09:48,588 --> 00:09:50,981 the writings of the ancient Egyptians themselves 172 00:09:51,155 --> 00:09:52,548 support this idea. 173 00:09:54,855 --> 00:09:58,249 According to hieroglyphic records known as the Edfu texts, 174 00:09:58,467 --> 00:10:01,209 a 130-foot-tall obelisk 175 00:10:01,426 --> 00:10:04,081 once stood at Abu Gorab in Memphis, 176 00:10:04,212 --> 00:10:07,781 where the people could commune with the gods. 177 00:10:07,911 --> 00:10:12,742 Abu Gorab was known as the "Place of the Gods." 178 00:10:12,916 --> 00:10:14,352 And what's so interesting is that 179 00:10:14,483 --> 00:10:16,485 most mainstream Egyptologists 180 00:10:16,616 --> 00:10:20,010 are actually saying that we know it as a place 181 00:10:20,184 --> 00:10:24,014 where the ancients connected with divine energies. 182 00:10:24,188 --> 00:10:26,538 The ancient astronaut theory is suggesting 183 00:10:26,713 --> 00:10:29,411 that ancient Egyptians were in direct contact 184 00:10:29,585 --> 00:10:31,631 with those extraterrestrials. 185 00:10:38,942 --> 00:10:40,464 I find it fascinating that many of the monoliths 186 00:10:40,465 --> 00:10:41,989 we've investigated on Ancient Aliens 187 00:10:42,163 --> 00:10:44,644 are covered in symbols or writing 188 00:10:44,818 --> 00:10:47,690 that point to an otherworldly connection. 189 00:10:47,864 --> 00:10:50,040 One of the most compelling examples of this 190 00:10:50,214 --> 00:10:54,044 can be found in an ancient Mayan city in Honduras. 191 00:10:54,262 --> 00:10:56,786 At number seven on our list 192 00:10:56,917 --> 00:10:59,528 of the top ten mysterious monoliths: 193 00:10:59,659 --> 00:11:01,835 the stelae of Copán. 194 00:11:07,754 --> 00:11:11,061 This ancient site, located deep in the jungle, 195 00:11:11,235 --> 00:11:13,760 served as one of the most important city centers 196 00:11:13,934 --> 00:11:15,587 of the Maya civilization. 197 00:11:15,805 --> 00:11:19,591 At the peak of its power in the 9th century AD, 198 00:11:19,766 --> 00:11:22,464 the kingdom of Copán had a population 199 00:11:22,638 --> 00:11:25,902 of at least 20,000 people, 200 00:11:25,989 --> 00:11:30,646 and covered an area of over 100 square miles. 201 00:11:30,777 --> 00:11:33,344 Copán is a classic Maya city 202 00:11:33,475 --> 00:11:37,827 that sits at the far eastern edge of the Maya world. 203 00:11:38,001 --> 00:11:40,830 Most of the Maya world is built out of limestone, 204 00:11:41,004 --> 00:11:44,399 and a lot of those limestone monuments have now melted. 205 00:11:44,529 --> 00:11:46,793 But Copán's sculpture, 206 00:11:46,967 --> 00:11:50,318 because it's in volcanic tuff, is beautiful. 207 00:11:50,492 --> 00:11:54,583 It's deep relief and still very visible. 208 00:11:54,757 --> 00:11:58,761 Among the most remarkable carvings discovered at Copán 209 00:11:58,892 --> 00:12:03,418 are the more than 80 monolithic statues known as "stelae." 210 00:12:03,635 --> 00:12:05,681 The most fantastic part of Copán 211 00:12:05,855 --> 00:12:09,598 is the carved monuments which are carved in the round. 212 00:12:09,772 --> 00:12:12,949 They're not what we call plano-convex, 213 00:12:13,123 --> 00:12:16,126 like a slab with a, you know, low-relief carving. 214 00:12:16,344 --> 00:12:19,042 These are carved in a sort of a Michelangelo way, 215 00:12:19,260 --> 00:12:22,089 in the round, and they're absolutely fantastic. 216 00:12:23,612 --> 00:12:27,268 Copán is full of big stelae 217 00:12:27,442 --> 00:12:29,661 that that stand ten, 12 feet above 218 00:12:29,879 --> 00:12:32,055 the surface of the plaza. 219 00:12:32,186 --> 00:12:35,276 They are single monolithic stones carved 220 00:12:35,363 --> 00:12:39,933 with all sorts of hieroglyphs and images of rulers. 221 00:12:40,063 --> 00:12:43,240 The most well-known of Copán's stelae 222 00:12:43,371 --> 00:12:45,765 were built during the 43-year reign 223 00:12:45,939 --> 00:12:48,768 of the ruler Uaxaclajuun Ub'aah K'awiil, 224 00:12:48,898 --> 00:12:53,250 better known by the nickname 18 Rabbit. 225 00:12:53,468 --> 00:12:55,426 On one of the stelae of Copán, 226 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,212 18 Rabbit portrayed himself 227 00:12:58,386 --> 00:13:00,954 as the foremost patron god of Copán, 228 00:13:01,171 --> 00:13:04,827 the all-encompassing god K'intay Ahau. 229 00:13:05,045 --> 00:13:06,655 And on the stelae, 230 00:13:06,829 --> 00:13:11,312 he basically gives a dissertation on the cosmos. 231 00:13:11,486 --> 00:13:13,270 For all intents and purposes, 232 00:13:13,357 --> 00:13:17,187 18 Rabbit is depicted like modern-day astronauts. 233 00:13:17,318 --> 00:13:21,191 You see tubes, you see weird boxes, 234 00:13:21,278 --> 00:13:25,805 you see weird canisters and tanks, you see boots, 235 00:13:25,935 --> 00:13:29,156 It looks more technological in origin. 236 00:13:30,635 --> 00:13:32,115 Does the monolithic statue 237 00:13:32,289 --> 00:13:35,553 of 18 Rabbit commemorate the Maya's interactions 238 00:13:35,684 --> 00:13:37,599 with extraterrestrials? 239 00:13:37,773 --> 00:13:41,516 As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, 240 00:13:41,646 --> 00:13:45,041 the answer is a resounding yes. 241 00:13:45,215 --> 00:13:48,088 The Maya, in their own words, 242 00:13:48,262 --> 00:13:52,483 tell us that the founders of the Mayan civilization 243 00:13:52,614 --> 00:13:54,659 were, in fact, star beings 244 00:13:54,790 --> 00:13:57,271 that had come down in the distant past. 245 00:13:57,445 --> 00:13:59,273 It would seem that 246 00:13:59,447 --> 00:14:04,060 these gods of the ancient Maya were real physical beings, 247 00:14:04,191 --> 00:14:07,324 and they were interacting with the Mayans, 248 00:14:07,542 --> 00:14:08,978 giving them knowledge, 249 00:14:09,109 --> 00:14:11,763 and were really instrumental in creating 250 00:14:11,938 --> 00:14:15,028 this advanced culture in Central America. 251 00:14:17,291 --> 00:14:19,728 2,500 miles south of Copán, 252 00:14:19,902 --> 00:14:22,426 high in the Andes mountains of Bolivia, 253 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:27,214 is a massive doorway carved from a single piece of stone. 254 00:14:27,388 --> 00:14:29,956 It stands near one of the most extraordinary 255 00:14:30,173 --> 00:14:33,524 ancient sites on the planet, called Puma Punku. 256 00:14:33,698 --> 00:14:36,353 And carved into the monolithic doorway 257 00:14:36,484 --> 00:14:40,357 are strange, winged beings that, from the perspective 258 00:14:40,488 --> 00:14:43,099 of an ancient astronaut theorist like myself, 259 00:14:43,230 --> 00:14:46,929 clearly represent extraterrestrial visitors. 260 00:14:47,103 --> 00:14:51,586 Number six on our countdown: the Gate of the Sun. 261 00:14:58,767 --> 00:15:02,118 While searching for the southern capital of the Inca Empire, 262 00:15:02,336 --> 00:15:05,600 Spanish conquistador Pedro Cieza de León 263 00:15:05,774 --> 00:15:08,298 comes upon a mysterious site, 264 00:15:08,472 --> 00:15:12,520 a vast, abandoned city near the shore of Lake Titicaca 265 00:15:12,650 --> 00:15:15,958 that the locals call Tiahuanaco. 266 00:15:16,089 --> 00:15:18,265 The ruined city contains temples, 267 00:15:18,395 --> 00:15:20,354 huge megalithic structures 268 00:15:20,484 --> 00:15:24,010 and vast ceremonial buildings. 269 00:15:24,097 --> 00:15:26,055 Tiahuanaco was huge. 270 00:15:26,229 --> 00:15:28,405 It spanned for miles and miles 271 00:15:28,579 --> 00:15:32,801 and had a population of perhaps as many as 20,000 people. 272 00:15:32,932 --> 00:15:36,500 Among Tiahuanaco's most impressive ruins 273 00:15:36,674 --> 00:15:39,634 is a terrace mound called Puma Punku, 274 00:15:39,808 --> 00:15:42,028 containing dozens of stone blocks 275 00:15:42,158 --> 00:15:44,595 cut with extraordinary precision. 276 00:15:44,726 --> 00:15:47,207 And at the opposite end of the complex, 277 00:15:47,337 --> 00:15:50,210 at the entrance to a large, sunken plaza, 278 00:15:50,384 --> 00:15:55,258 stands a giant carved doorway called the Gate of the Sun. 279 00:15:55,389 --> 00:15:58,696 Cut and shaped from a single andesite stone, 280 00:15:58,870 --> 00:16:03,005 the massive monolith is ten feet tall, 13 feet wide 281 00:16:03,179 --> 00:16:06,313 and weighs more than ten tons. 282 00:16:06,487 --> 00:16:09,707 The Gate of the Sun is the icon of Tiahuanaco, 283 00:16:09,838 --> 00:16:11,622 if not for all of South America. 284 00:16:11,796 --> 00:16:14,625 And it is an amazing sculpture 285 00:16:14,756 --> 00:16:17,933 that's carved with some very elaborate iconography. 286 00:16:18,064 --> 00:16:21,850 It features the Inca god Viracocha, 287 00:16:22,024 --> 00:16:24,809 who's the god of creation, who's portrayed 288 00:16:24,940 --> 00:16:28,813 as a sort of a humanoid figure with rays coming off his head. 289 00:16:28,944 --> 00:16:30,337 Viracocha was 290 00:16:30,511 --> 00:16:32,643 the primary deity of the Andes, 291 00:16:32,817 --> 00:16:34,515 going back many thousands of years. 292 00:16:34,602 --> 00:16:38,519 He was thought to be the founder of all the ancient sites 293 00:16:38,693 --> 00:16:41,087 we see in Peru and Bolivia today, 294 00:16:41,217 --> 00:16:46,614 including Tiahuanaco, Cuzco, Sacsayhuamán, 295 00:16:46,831 --> 00:16:49,443 Machu Picchu and many others. 296 00:16:49,660 --> 00:16:52,141 When European explorers 297 00:16:52,272 --> 00:16:56,015 rediscovered the monolithic doorway in the 19 century, 298 00:16:56,145 --> 00:17:00,019 it was lying flat on the ground and broken into two pieces. 299 00:17:02,195 --> 00:17:05,024 Today, it stands where it was found, 300 00:17:05,198 --> 00:17:07,156 but many archaeologists believe 301 00:17:07,374 --> 00:17:10,159 this is not its original location. 302 00:17:12,727 --> 00:17:14,431 It's standing there, and we all know 303 00:17:14,511 --> 00:17:16,905 it's not where it used to be. 304 00:17:17,123 --> 00:17:19,255 Its architecture and the way the stone is cut 305 00:17:19,342 --> 00:17:20,865 in these right angles, 306 00:17:21,083 --> 00:17:22,737 the only other place in all of Tiahuanaco 307 00:17:22,911 --> 00:17:25,479 that we see that is Puma Punku. 308 00:17:25,653 --> 00:17:29,700 Puma Punku is one of the most enigmatic places 309 00:17:29,831 --> 00:17:31,441 on planet Earth. 310 00:17:31,615 --> 00:17:35,750 Some of the stone blocks are over 100 metric tons, 311 00:17:35,924 --> 00:17:39,145 at an altitude of almost 13,000 feet. 312 00:17:39,362 --> 00:17:40,842 And the legend is 313 00:17:40,972 --> 00:17:43,758 that this place was built by the so-called gods. 314 00:17:43,932 --> 00:17:46,543 Is it possible that Puma Punku 315 00:17:46,717 --> 00:17:51,896 was built by otherworldly beings, as legend suggests? 316 00:17:52,027 --> 00:17:54,551 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, 317 00:17:54,725 --> 00:17:57,641 and believe further clues can be found 318 00:17:57,815 --> 00:18:01,123 by taking a closer look at the depiction of Viracocha 319 00:18:01,297 --> 00:18:03,430 carved on the Gate of the Sun, 320 00:18:03,604 --> 00:18:06,955 and the strange beings that surround him. 321 00:18:07,129 --> 00:18:08,696 Viracocha 322 00:18:08,913 --> 00:18:12,091 is flanked with 48 winged beings. 323 00:18:13,396 --> 00:18:15,572 Now, why would these beings 324 00:18:15,746 --> 00:18:17,444 have wings attached to them? 325 00:18:17,661 --> 00:18:22,884 Well, because our ancestors try to signify flight. 326 00:18:23,058 --> 00:18:25,060 What I think is depicted 327 00:18:25,234 --> 00:18:29,499 on the Gate of the Sun is a type of a celestial pantheon, 328 00:18:29,673 --> 00:18:33,895 suggesting that whoever came and imparted knowledge 329 00:18:34,113 --> 00:18:36,593 at Tiahuanaco and Puma Punku 330 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,641 were beings that had a celestial connection, 331 00:18:40,815 --> 00:18:43,600 meaning they came from the sky. 332 00:18:49,911 --> 00:18:51,520 We're nearly halfway through our countdown 333 00:18:51,521 --> 00:18:54,263 of the top ten mysterious monoliths. 334 00:18:54,394 --> 00:18:57,092 And while the monuments we have investigated so far 335 00:18:57,266 --> 00:18:59,312 are tall standing stones, 336 00:18:59,486 --> 00:19:02,141 archaeologists have also discovered monoliths 337 00:19:02,271 --> 00:19:04,317 that are perfectly round. 338 00:19:06,797 --> 00:19:09,278 the stone spheres. 339 00:19:12,499 --> 00:19:14,501 Zavidovici, Bosnia. 340 00:19:14,675 --> 00:19:18,374 2016. 341 00:19:18,505 --> 00:19:23,814 Archaeologist Dr. Sam Osmanagich and a small team of researchers 342 00:19:24,032 --> 00:19:26,643 are hiking along the Bosna river 343 00:19:26,817 --> 00:19:30,256 when they spot what appears to be an enormous stone sphere 344 00:19:30,343 --> 00:19:33,302 hidden in the forest floor. 345 00:19:33,476 --> 00:19:36,262 We started clearing it, realizing 346 00:19:36,436 --> 00:19:37,872 that it was huge. 347 00:19:39,395 --> 00:19:41,354 Monumental in size. 348 00:19:41,528 --> 00:19:44,487 Once we cleared almost all of it, 349 00:19:44,661 --> 00:19:47,534 we've done the measurements. 350 00:19:47,708 --> 00:19:51,494 It is more than three meters in diameter. 351 00:19:51,668 --> 00:19:56,456 37 tons. 352 00:19:56,586 --> 00:20:02,026 So, this was the largest stone sphere discovery in the world. 353 00:20:04,420 --> 00:20:07,293 While the giant stone sphere in Bosnia is impressive, 354 00:20:07,467 --> 00:20:10,034 it is not unique. 355 00:20:10,209 --> 00:20:12,602 From Kansas to Kazakhstan, 356 00:20:12,820 --> 00:20:14,691 we find these stone spheres. 357 00:20:14,865 --> 00:20:16,563 Some of them are massive, 358 00:20:16,737 --> 00:20:19,522 and the key thing that links all of them 359 00:20:19,696 --> 00:20:22,308 is this incredible mystery about how were they created, 360 00:20:22,525 --> 00:20:23,918 why were they created, 361 00:20:24,048 --> 00:20:25,963 and ultimately, what is their purpose? 362 00:20:26,094 --> 00:20:28,575 What compelled ancient people 363 00:20:28,749 --> 00:20:31,882 to create monoliths in the shape of spheres? 364 00:20:35,016 --> 00:20:38,454 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest clues can be found 365 00:20:38,585 --> 00:20:40,064 by examining a discovery 366 00:20:40,282 --> 00:20:43,807 made deep in the jungles of Central America. 367 00:20:44,025 --> 00:20:46,680 In the 1930s, 368 00:20:46,854 --> 00:20:51,641 workers in Costa Rica found hundreds of giant stone spheres. 369 00:20:51,815 --> 00:20:54,949 About 300 have been discovered so far. 370 00:20:55,123 --> 00:20:56,733 Some of them are huge, 371 00:20:56,951 --> 00:21:00,911 between eight and nine feet tall and wide. 372 00:21:01,042 --> 00:21:03,784 They look like they're created in a machine. 373 00:21:05,089 --> 00:21:06,787 Archaeologists believe 374 00:21:06,917 --> 00:21:09,398 that the Diquis civilization carved the spheres 375 00:21:09,572 --> 00:21:11,313 with simple stone tools. 376 00:21:11,531 --> 00:21:15,230 And they are thought to be at least 1,000 years old. 377 00:21:15,404 --> 00:21:18,842 But just what purpose did they serve? 378 00:21:18,929 --> 00:21:21,722 We do not know the original location of most of the spheres. 379 00:21:21,802 --> 00:21:24,326 You start to wonder, what if we could 380 00:21:24,500 --> 00:21:26,937 go back in time and see the exact location 381 00:21:27,155 --> 00:21:28,755 of all the spheres, what would they show? 382 00:21:28,939 --> 00:21:30,811 Would they show a pattern? 383 00:21:31,028 --> 00:21:33,944 Would they show a constellation map? 384 00:21:34,075 --> 00:21:36,382 Would they be like the Nazca Lines, 385 00:21:36,469 --> 00:21:38,558 like a pattern that you could only see from above? 386 00:21:40,168 --> 00:21:43,258 How and why Costa Rica's monolithic spheres 387 00:21:43,432 --> 00:21:46,174 were created has been lost to history, 388 00:21:46,348 --> 00:21:49,308 but ancient astronaut theorists suggest 389 00:21:49,525 --> 00:21:52,441 that local legends reveal a connection 390 00:21:52,615 --> 00:21:54,051 to otherworldly beings. 391 00:21:55,662 --> 00:21:58,839 One very interesting explanation for the Costa Rica spheres 392 00:21:58,969 --> 00:22:01,668 is that they were created by Tará, the God of Thunder, 393 00:22:01,842 --> 00:22:05,062 who used some sort of a blowpipe to shoot 394 00:22:05,193 --> 00:22:09,023 these spheres out of the pipe in order to push back hurricanes. 395 00:22:09,197 --> 00:22:11,547 Ancient astronaut theory says 396 00:22:11,634 --> 00:22:14,158 that within legends like this, there's often a kernel of truth. 397 00:22:15,551 --> 00:22:17,945 And so, you have to wonder, is this a calling card 398 00:22:18,075 --> 00:22:20,251 from some extraterrestrial entity, 399 00:22:20,426 --> 00:22:23,516 a sky god, Tará, with some sort of message? 400 00:22:26,345 --> 00:22:28,912 The fact that our ancestors created 401 00:22:29,086 --> 00:22:32,873 such perfectly round spheres is truly fascinating. 402 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,484 And even more intriguing is a collection 403 00:22:35,658 --> 00:22:38,705 of huge monoliths that are not only round, 404 00:22:38,835 --> 00:22:42,056 but are also carved with mysterious human features. 405 00:22:44,580 --> 00:22:46,495 At number four on our countdown 406 00:22:46,626 --> 00:22:48,802 of the top ten mysterious monoliths: 407 00:22:49,019 --> 00:22:51,239 the colossal heads. 408 00:22:53,937 --> 00:22:56,200 Tres Zapotes, Mexico. 409 00:22:57,201 --> 00:22:59,334 1938. 410 00:22:59,465 --> 00:23:02,772 Smithsonian archaeologist Matthew Stirling 411 00:23:02,903 --> 00:23:04,992 makes a remarkable find. 412 00:23:05,122 --> 00:23:07,603 He discovers a colossal stone head 413 00:23:07,777 --> 00:23:09,997 buried in the ground. 414 00:23:10,171 --> 00:23:12,042 Over the next few years, 415 00:23:12,216 --> 00:23:14,001 16 more heads are discovered 416 00:23:14,175 --> 00:23:17,352 partially buried at four locations in Mexico, 417 00:23:17,570 --> 00:23:21,878 including ten in San Lorenzo and four in La Venta. 418 00:23:23,140 --> 00:23:26,274 These monolithic statues are carved from basalt 419 00:23:26,448 --> 00:23:28,494 and vary in height from nearly five feet 420 00:23:28,624 --> 00:23:31,148 to over 11 feet tall, 421 00:23:31,322 --> 00:23:35,152 the largest weighing approximately 50 tons. 422 00:23:35,326 --> 00:23:38,460 Archaeologists believe the stone heads are 423 00:23:38,634 --> 00:23:42,943 some 3,000 years old and were created by the Olmecs. 424 00:23:43,117 --> 00:23:45,728 The Olmecs, they're often called 425 00:23:45,902 --> 00:23:48,644 the mother culture of Mesoamerica. 426 00:23:48,818 --> 00:23:52,648 They are the first complex culture 427 00:23:52,779 --> 00:23:56,260 of any size and significance in that part of the world. 428 00:23:57,827 --> 00:24:00,700 For decades, archaeologists assumed 429 00:24:00,787 --> 00:24:03,442 the colossal stone heads were carved 430 00:24:03,572 --> 00:24:06,706 to honor important figures in Olmec society. 431 00:24:07,924 --> 00:24:10,100 But just who they depict has been the source 432 00:24:10,274 --> 00:24:12,015 of debate among researchers. 433 00:24:13,452 --> 00:24:16,063 The controversy is that many of the beautifully carved 434 00:24:16,237 --> 00:24:19,806 statues and stelae seemed to show African men. 435 00:24:22,025 --> 00:24:25,072 They appear to be not native to the New World. 436 00:24:25,246 --> 00:24:27,857 But are native to sub-Saharan Africa. 437 00:24:27,988 --> 00:24:29,990 This is not scientific, 438 00:24:30,120 --> 00:24:32,383 physical anthropology, but just the appearance 439 00:24:32,558 --> 00:24:34,821 of these things, is pretty suggestive. 440 00:24:36,866 --> 00:24:39,652 Is it possible that the Olmec stone heads 441 00:24:39,826 --> 00:24:41,697 are a record of ancient visitors 442 00:24:41,871 --> 00:24:45,440 who traveled thousands of miles to Central Mexico? 443 00:24:45,614 --> 00:24:48,704 According to ancient astronaut theorists, 444 00:24:48,791 --> 00:24:52,621 these monoliths might serve a more profound purpose. 445 00:24:52,795 --> 00:24:55,406 And as evidence, they point to research 446 00:24:55,537 --> 00:24:58,105 done by a team of scientists at Harvard, 447 00:24:58,279 --> 00:25:00,977 Yale, and MIT that revealed 448 00:25:01,151 --> 00:25:03,327 the colossal stone heads 449 00:25:03,502 --> 00:25:05,852 have unusual magnetic properties. 450 00:25:07,244 --> 00:25:09,290 The Olmec... 451 00:25:09,464 --> 00:25:13,120 were craftsmen at finding these magnetic fields in basalt rock. 452 00:25:13,294 --> 00:25:16,863 And they would actually hunt down large stones, 453 00:25:17,037 --> 00:25:19,300 take it back and carve it into heads. 454 00:25:19,518 --> 00:25:21,781 And they were so precise with knowing 455 00:25:21,911 --> 00:25:23,565 where the magnetic fields were 456 00:25:23,739 --> 00:25:27,221 that they actually carved around these anomalies. 457 00:25:28,701 --> 00:25:30,753 When we look at how the ancients were selecting 458 00:25:30,833 --> 00:25:32,443 certain stones that were magnetic 459 00:25:32,574 --> 00:25:34,141 or had certain energies, 460 00:25:34,271 --> 00:25:36,926 we wonder how they could know 461 00:25:37,144 --> 00:25:40,451 about all of the properties of these stones. 462 00:25:40,626 --> 00:25:42,671 Are they getting this information 463 00:25:42,889 --> 00:25:44,412 from extraterrestrials? 464 00:25:46,588 --> 00:25:48,416 Could it be that the ancient people 465 00:25:48,590 --> 00:25:51,114 of Mesoamerica received instructions 466 00:25:51,201 --> 00:25:53,160 to sculpt these giant basalt heads 467 00:25:53,290 --> 00:25:55,423 from extraterrestrial visitors? 468 00:25:55,597 --> 00:25:57,730 But if so, why? 469 00:25:59,993 --> 00:26:02,125 According to ancient astronaut theorists, 470 00:26:02,299 --> 00:26:05,564 they may have been designed for data storage. 471 00:26:05,738 --> 00:26:07,957 Certain stones like basalt 472 00:26:08,131 --> 00:26:09,698 hold a magnetic field 473 00:26:09,872 --> 00:26:11,744 and can be magnetized. 474 00:26:11,918 --> 00:26:14,224 A basalt stone could actually act 475 00:26:14,398 --> 00:26:16,749 like a hard disk for a computer. 476 00:26:18,620 --> 00:26:21,060 When we look at how we store information today, 477 00:26:21,231 --> 00:26:22,711 we have to understand 478 00:26:22,929 --> 00:26:24,713 that an extraterrestrial civilization 479 00:26:24,931 --> 00:26:27,629 might approach this from a different angle. 480 00:26:27,847 --> 00:26:30,589 So is it possible that extraterrestrials 481 00:26:30,806 --> 00:26:33,243 have embedded ancient sacred knowledge 482 00:26:33,417 --> 00:26:35,942 in statues or in monuments? 483 00:26:36,072 --> 00:26:38,292 And if we were able to extract this information, 484 00:26:38,466 --> 00:26:40,555 there could be a wealth of information ready, 485 00:26:40,729 --> 00:26:42,601 waiting at our fingertips. 486 00:26:48,607 --> 00:26:49,847 Running through the countryside 487 00:26:50,260 --> 00:26:52,959 of northwestern France are thousands of standing stones 488 00:26:53,133 --> 00:26:56,179 that are aligned in perfectly straight rows. 489 00:26:56,310 --> 00:26:58,399 And while their purpose is unknown, 490 00:26:58,529 --> 00:27:00,619 some believe they were part 491 00:27:00,749 --> 00:27:02,621 of a long-lost technology. 492 00:27:05,493 --> 00:27:07,756 At number three on our countdown 493 00:27:07,974 --> 00:27:10,716 of the top ten mysterious monoliths: 494 00:27:10,890 --> 00:27:13,153 the Carnac Stones. 495 00:27:15,851 --> 00:27:18,071 On the northwest coast of France 496 00:27:18,201 --> 00:27:21,248 lies the most famous and mysterious collection 497 00:27:21,422 --> 00:27:24,643 of ancient standing stones found anywhere in the world. 498 00:27:25,861 --> 00:27:29,038 Stretching across an astonishing two miles 499 00:27:29,169 --> 00:27:30,910 of rolling countryside, 500 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,087 more than 3,000 giant monoliths 501 00:27:34,304 --> 00:27:36,393 are organized in neat formations. 502 00:27:36,567 --> 00:27:39,788 They are collectively known as the Carnac Stones. 503 00:27:42,399 --> 00:27:45,664 The megaliths of Carnac in Brittany a-are just amazing. 504 00:27:47,230 --> 00:27:49,624 Some of them stand about 30 or 40 feet tall. 505 00:27:50,930 --> 00:27:54,585 There's multiple avenues of stones going right over hills. 506 00:27:54,716 --> 00:27:58,024 No one's really worked out exactly what their purpose is. 507 00:27:59,242 --> 00:28:03,812 These are arranged in four huge alignments. 508 00:28:05,031 --> 00:28:08,034 Some of them are in parallel lines. 509 00:28:08,164 --> 00:28:10,036 Some of them are fan-like. 510 00:28:12,603 --> 00:28:14,823 Archeologists believe the monoliths 511 00:28:14,954 --> 00:28:18,261 were erected more than 6,000 years ago, 512 00:28:18,435 --> 00:28:21,003 making them older than the Great Pyramid of Egypt 513 00:28:21,221 --> 00:28:24,180 and the stone circles of Great Britian. 514 00:28:24,354 --> 00:28:27,314 But just why the stones are in such precise alignments 515 00:28:27,444 --> 00:28:29,142 remains a mystery. 516 00:28:30,839 --> 00:28:33,842 One of the most interesting is the alignment of Ménec. 517 00:28:34,016 --> 00:28:35,888 When viewed from above, we can see 518 00:28:36,062 --> 00:28:38,412 these 11 almost-perfect parallel lines 519 00:28:38,586 --> 00:28:40,327 that stretch out for almost a mile. 520 00:28:40,501 --> 00:28:43,852 So the Ménec alignment is so pristine 521 00:28:44,026 --> 00:28:46,550 and created with such perfection, 522 00:28:46,725 --> 00:28:48,422 we can't even imagine how it would've 523 00:28:48,552 --> 00:28:49,858 been done in ancient times. 524 00:28:51,251 --> 00:28:53,427 We have to wonder what these lines were for. 525 00:28:55,081 --> 00:28:58,040 I think in Carnac, our ancestors did not know 526 00:28:58,258 --> 00:28:59,738 what they were creating. 527 00:28:59,868 --> 00:29:03,306 The entire region has over 4,000 stones. 528 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:08,224 Somebody told our ancestors why to move it there, 529 00:29:08,355 --> 00:29:11,053 and above all, how to move it there. 530 00:29:11,227 --> 00:29:13,926 Carnac, at some point, 531 00:29:14,100 --> 00:29:17,756 was an extraterrestrial hot spot. 532 00:29:19,061 --> 00:29:22,282 Is it possible that the position of the Carnac Stones 533 00:29:22,456 --> 00:29:25,502 was directed by extraterrestrial visitors, 534 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,636 as ancient astronaut theorists suggest? 535 00:29:29,985 --> 00:29:32,422 Perhaps clues can be found by examining 536 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,991 a discovery that may point to these mysterious monoliths 537 00:29:36,165 --> 00:29:39,473 having served an energetic purpose. 538 00:29:39,647 --> 00:29:42,781 In 1992, a French engineer 539 00:29:42,955 --> 00:29:46,393 named Pierre Méreaux did a study of the Carnac Stones. 540 00:29:46,567 --> 00:29:49,613 And what he found was that 541 00:29:49,744 --> 00:29:53,530 the stones were aligned and placed over areas 542 00:29:53,704 --> 00:29:57,099 that had quartz fissures. 543 00:29:57,273 --> 00:30:02,191 The standing stones themselves are also made of quartz. 544 00:30:02,278 --> 00:30:05,586 And if there are quartz crystals within the stone, 545 00:30:05,804 --> 00:30:10,373 those crystals can actually be vibrating and storing energy. 546 00:30:11,070 --> 00:30:14,595 Today quartz is used in watches, speakers 547 00:30:14,769 --> 00:30:17,032 and computer storage systems. 548 00:30:17,206 --> 00:30:19,905 Is it possible that the Carnac Stones, 549 00:30:19,992 --> 00:30:23,517 with their high quartz content and strategic placement, 550 00:30:23,691 --> 00:30:26,912 had some kind of technological function? 551 00:30:27,086 --> 00:30:29,349 It's really interesting that these stones 552 00:30:29,523 --> 00:30:31,568 are standing in just the right locations 553 00:30:31,742 --> 00:30:33,527 where you could create a phenomena like this. 554 00:30:33,701 --> 00:30:35,529 You can store 555 00:30:35,703 --> 00:30:37,836 and create electromagnetic energy 556 00:30:37,966 --> 00:30:40,577 in these types of stones. 557 00:30:40,708 --> 00:30:44,538 Somebody understood something about the quartz in the ground, 558 00:30:44,712 --> 00:30:46,845 the standing stones and the fault line. 559 00:30:47,019 --> 00:30:48,672 It's too big of a coincidence 560 00:30:48,803 --> 00:30:50,243 for them not to have understood that. 561 00:30:50,370 --> 00:30:53,199 Were the Carnac Stones created 562 00:30:53,373 --> 00:30:56,289 to be part of an electrical grid? 563 00:30:56,506 --> 00:30:59,422 One that was designed by extraterrestrial visitors 564 00:30:59,596 --> 00:31:03,470 to tap into the natural energy produced by the Earth? 565 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,994 If so, what exactly 566 00:31:06,212 --> 00:31:08,301 were they using the energy for? 567 00:31:09,563 --> 00:31:13,088 Energy can be amplified by these standing stones. 568 00:31:13,262 --> 00:31:15,569 And it can be emitted, as well. 569 00:31:17,049 --> 00:31:19,138 Much like we use antennas, and towers, 570 00:31:19,268 --> 00:31:22,010 radio towers and things like that. 571 00:31:22,141 --> 00:31:23,838 We have to wonder, does it have to do 572 00:31:24,012 --> 00:31:27,711 with extraterrestrials and spacecraft? 573 00:31:29,452 --> 00:31:32,412 What if somebody came here 574 00:31:32,629 --> 00:31:35,850 who has been around longer than us 575 00:31:35,937 --> 00:31:39,506 and has figured out how to harness 576 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,769 the energy of the planet 577 00:31:41,943 --> 00:31:44,250 through use of standing stones? 578 00:31:45,599 --> 00:31:47,993 The stone rows in Carnac, Brittany, 579 00:31:48,210 --> 00:31:50,647 to me, are a calling card. 580 00:31:50,734 --> 00:31:55,826 It's a message that somebody was here in the past, 581 00:31:56,044 --> 00:31:57,263 and they were our teachers. 582 00:32:03,747 --> 00:32:05,452 Thousands of miles off the coast of South America 583 00:32:05,532 --> 00:32:08,143 is a tiny island in the South Pacific 584 00:32:08,274 --> 00:32:11,451 where hundreds of massive stone statues 585 00:32:11,668 --> 00:32:14,019 stand guard on the shoreline. 586 00:32:14,149 --> 00:32:16,804 Archaeologists believe that these sentinels 587 00:32:16,978 --> 00:32:19,894 could be more than 800 years old. 588 00:32:20,068 --> 00:32:21,678 But just whom they depict, 589 00:32:21,852 --> 00:32:23,854 and how they were moved into place, 590 00:32:24,029 --> 00:32:25,639 is an intriguing mystery. 591 00:32:28,033 --> 00:32:32,298 the Moai of Easter Island. 592 00:32:35,388 --> 00:32:38,695 More than 2,000 miles off the coast of Chile, 593 00:32:38,869 --> 00:32:41,655 a rocky island rises from the ocean. 594 00:32:42,917 --> 00:32:45,006 Called Rapa Nui by the locals, 595 00:32:45,180 --> 00:32:48,227 it is best known as Easter Island, 596 00:32:48,314 --> 00:32:51,708 due to the fact that Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen 597 00:32:51,882 --> 00:32:56,322 discovered the island on Easter Sunday, 1722. 598 00:32:57,888 --> 00:33:00,804 As recorded in the ship's log, Roggeveen and his crew 599 00:33:00,935 --> 00:33:05,200 were astonished by what they saw along the shore. 600 00:33:05,374 --> 00:33:09,726 "We noticed certain remarkably tall stone figures. 601 00:33:09,813 --> 00:33:13,643 "These stone figures caused us to be filled with wonder, 602 00:33:13,774 --> 00:33:17,821 "for we could not understand how it was possible to erect them. 603 00:33:17,952 --> 00:33:21,303 "Some of these statues were a good 30 feet in height 604 00:33:21,477 --> 00:33:23,349 and broad in proportion." 605 00:33:25,264 --> 00:33:26,917 Known as the moai, 606 00:33:27,092 --> 00:33:29,616 more than 1,000 of these monolithic statues 607 00:33:29,833 --> 00:33:33,489 are scattered across Easter Island's grassy cliffs. 608 00:33:33,663 --> 00:33:36,666 The statues on Easter Island, which we call moai, are 609 00:33:36,797 --> 00:33:38,806 one of the great archeological wonders of the world. 610 00:33:38,886 --> 00:33:40,670 They are unique. 611 00:33:40,844 --> 00:33:43,021 And we believe that, overall, 612 00:33:43,195 --> 00:33:45,371 they carved something like 1,000 613 00:33:45,545 --> 00:33:50,550 of these moai over some centuries. 614 00:33:50,724 --> 00:33:53,727 You don't realize that they're really buried 615 00:33:53,901 --> 00:33:55,816 right up to their chest. 616 00:33:55,990 --> 00:34:00,647 And that these statues are two, three times as large 617 00:34:00,821 --> 00:34:03,693 as we can see because most of them is below ground. 618 00:34:03,824 --> 00:34:06,435 Many of the statues, they're oftentimes 619 00:34:06,609 --> 00:34:10,265 sort of sideways, looking up. 620 00:34:10,352 --> 00:34:14,704 Most moai stand between 13 to 20 feet tall, 621 00:34:14,878 --> 00:34:17,577 but some reach as much as 30 feet high. 622 00:34:19,666 --> 00:34:21,581 According to archaeologists, 623 00:34:21,711 --> 00:34:24,845 the native Polynesian inhabitants of Easter Island 624 00:34:24,975 --> 00:34:29,589 constructed the moai between the 12th and 17th centuries AD. 625 00:34:31,765 --> 00:34:34,811 Why did these people go to such great effort 626 00:34:34,942 --> 00:34:37,205 to build these giant statues? 627 00:34:37,336 --> 00:34:40,600 No one else in Polynesia was doing that. 628 00:34:40,687 --> 00:34:42,993 When you talk to the people of Easter Island today, 629 00:34:43,168 --> 00:34:44,952 the Rapa Nui people, 630 00:34:45,126 --> 00:34:47,389 they say that they were doing them to honor 631 00:34:47,563 --> 00:34:52,046 certain important ancestral Areeki, or rulers. 632 00:34:52,177 --> 00:34:57,573 These moais are images of great ancestors. 633 00:34:57,704 --> 00:35:01,229 As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, 634 00:35:01,403 --> 00:35:03,318 these monolithic figures 635 00:35:03,536 --> 00:35:05,973 aren't just depictions of ancient rulers, 636 00:35:06,147 --> 00:35:09,237 but visitors from another world. 637 00:35:09,455 --> 00:35:11,196 The thing about these moai 638 00:35:11,370 --> 00:35:13,589 is that they have these very strange faces, 639 00:35:13,720 --> 00:35:15,461 very elongated. 640 00:35:15,635 --> 00:35:17,289 They don't look quite human. 641 00:35:17,463 --> 00:35:19,334 They're humanoid, but they're somehow different 642 00:35:19,465 --> 00:35:21,031 than ordinary humans. 643 00:35:21,206 --> 00:35:24,774 They look almost alien in appearance. 644 00:35:24,948 --> 00:35:28,909 And you have to wonder, what do they ultimately represent? 645 00:35:29,127 --> 00:35:33,000 You cannot exclude that they are representation 646 00:35:33,131 --> 00:35:35,437 of celestial ancestors. 647 00:35:35,611 --> 00:35:37,396 We have all these statues 648 00:35:37,570 --> 00:35:39,789 and the faces of the statues 649 00:35:39,963 --> 00:35:42,444 do not look like the Easter Islanders. 650 00:35:43,837 --> 00:35:47,362 The statues they created, they look like robots, 651 00:35:47,580 --> 00:35:52,280 with long narrow noses with narrow lips. 652 00:35:52,498 --> 00:35:56,284 They have nothing which compares the Easter Island people. 653 00:35:59,766 --> 00:36:03,639 Is it possible that the moai depict extraterrestrial beings 654 00:36:03,770 --> 00:36:07,121 who were once present on Easter Island? 655 00:36:07,252 --> 00:36:09,993 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, 656 00:36:10,124 --> 00:36:12,387 and suggest these visitors 657 00:36:12,561 --> 00:36:16,522 also helped in the erection of the giant statues. 658 00:36:17,784 --> 00:36:19,873 According to the local Rapa Nui people, 659 00:36:20,047 --> 00:36:22,745 their ancestors possessed a type of divine energy 660 00:36:22,919 --> 00:36:26,880 called "mana" that allowed them to levitate the moai. 661 00:36:28,664 --> 00:36:31,101 The king was given the gift of mana 662 00:36:31,276 --> 00:36:34,104 from the great creator god, Makemake. 663 00:36:34,322 --> 00:36:37,151 Mana is a magical energy, 664 00:36:37,325 --> 00:36:41,111 and it seemed to be capable of extraordinary feats. 665 00:36:41,286 --> 00:36:43,984 And the king used the power of mana 666 00:36:44,202 --> 00:36:47,205 to command that the great stone statues walk. 667 00:36:49,163 --> 00:36:52,253 In my opinion, mana was some type 668 00:36:52,427 --> 00:36:54,212 of extraterrestrial technology 669 00:36:54,342 --> 00:36:57,824 that allowed these stones 670 00:36:57,998 --> 00:37:00,914 to be levitated into place. 671 00:37:03,177 --> 00:37:05,919 We're heading towards the number one entry 672 00:37:06,049 --> 00:37:09,749 on our countdown of the most mysterious monoliths. 673 00:37:09,923 --> 00:37:12,317 And some consider these standing stones 674 00:37:12,534 --> 00:37:14,754 to be the most enigmatic on Earth. 675 00:37:19,628 --> 00:37:21,150 We've reached number one on our countdown 676 00:37:21,151 --> 00:37:23,763 of the top ten mysterious monoliths. 677 00:37:23,893 --> 00:37:26,592 And this collection of massive standing stones 678 00:37:26,679 --> 00:37:29,856 has baffled historians for hundreds of years. 679 00:37:30,030 --> 00:37:32,946 It's a neolithic monument that some believe 680 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,123 has a profound connection to the cosmos. 681 00:37:38,343 --> 00:37:42,129 Stonehenge. 682 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,443 The neolithic monument known as Stonehenge 683 00:37:51,660 --> 00:37:56,186 has dominated the landscape here for no less than 5,000 years. 684 00:37:56,404 --> 00:37:59,277 This iconic stone circle 685 00:37:59,494 --> 00:38:02,715 consists of an outer ring of 30 monoliths 686 00:38:02,845 --> 00:38:05,848 topped by connecting horizontal lintel stones. 687 00:38:06,066 --> 00:38:07,850 And within this ring 688 00:38:08,024 --> 00:38:11,463 are five even larger stone arches. 689 00:38:13,291 --> 00:38:17,860 Some of the stones at Stonehenge weigh between 50 and 70 tons. 690 00:38:18,034 --> 00:38:20,254 Some of the stones are even heavier. 691 00:38:20,385 --> 00:38:22,145 So how could you have moved these into place? 692 00:38:23,257 --> 00:38:25,912 If we go to the traditions of ancient England 693 00:38:26,042 --> 00:38:27,522 about how the stones were moved, 694 00:38:27,740 --> 00:38:31,091 we know that there were stories of Merlin 695 00:38:31,178 --> 00:38:35,095 somehow levitating the stones all the way from Ireland. 696 00:38:35,269 --> 00:38:38,794 Merlin? The powerful wizard of British mythology? 697 00:38:38,968 --> 00:38:43,103 According to some researchers, Merlin was not only real, 698 00:38:43,321 --> 00:38:46,062 but a figure who was not of this world. 699 00:38:47,455 --> 00:38:49,247 The great 20th-century French philosopher 700 00:38:49,327 --> 00:38:51,285 and historian, Jean Markale, 701 00:38:51,459 --> 00:38:54,419 wrote over 40 books on the Celtic traditions. 702 00:38:54,506 --> 00:38:56,551 And was adamant that Merlin 703 00:38:56,725 --> 00:39:00,033 was an incredibly powerful otherworldly being. 704 00:39:00,207 --> 00:39:02,731 And in a number of the legends, 705 00:39:02,949 --> 00:39:06,039 Merlin brought the understanding of how to utilize these stones 706 00:39:06,169 --> 00:39:09,738 in some extraordinary way in terms of technology, 707 00:39:09,912 --> 00:39:12,001 communications, energy. 708 00:39:12,132 --> 00:39:14,526 Could the legend of Merlin 709 00:39:14,700 --> 00:39:17,790 really be the story of an ancient alien visitor? 710 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:21,533 One who helped to build the mysterious Stonehenge monument 711 00:39:21,707 --> 00:39:24,710 for some kind of technological purpose? 712 00:39:24,884 --> 00:39:27,974 The point is that the standing stone formations 713 00:39:28,191 --> 00:39:30,672 that we find all around the world 714 00:39:30,846 --> 00:39:33,632 are pieces of the puzzle, 715 00:39:33,762 --> 00:39:37,157 of the ancient astronaut theory 716 00:39:37,331 --> 00:39:42,380 that, long ago, we received visits from outer space, 717 00:39:42,554 --> 00:39:44,469 and we were visited by none other 718 00:39:44,643 --> 00:39:48,037 than our first teachers on planet Earth. 719 00:39:48,211 --> 00:39:53,173 But if Stonehenge really was of extraterrestrial design, 720 00:39:53,303 --> 00:39:56,568 the question remains, what purpose 721 00:39:56,742 --> 00:40:00,528 might this megalithic stone circle have served? 722 00:40:00,702 --> 00:40:03,096 According to some ancient astronaut theorists, 723 00:40:03,270 --> 00:40:07,840 the site might have been a portal to another world. 724 00:40:08,014 --> 00:40:11,234 Archaeologists now are speculating 725 00:40:11,409 --> 00:40:13,411 that the blue stones 726 00:40:13,541 --> 00:40:16,631 that are part of the Stonehenge complex, 727 00:40:16,805 --> 00:40:22,028 they are a type of black-blue dolerite 728 00:40:22,202 --> 00:40:26,598 that has very bright nodes of quartz in them. 729 00:40:28,164 --> 00:40:29,521 So you have electrical qualities 730 00:40:29,601 --> 00:40:31,994 when the quartz is kind of crushed, 731 00:40:32,168 --> 00:40:34,040 and then you have magnetic qualities as well, 732 00:40:34,127 --> 00:40:35,433 within the same stone. 733 00:40:37,826 --> 00:40:39,654 So this could have been used to manipulate 734 00:40:39,828 --> 00:40:41,090 earth energy currents. 735 00:40:41,264 --> 00:40:43,484 You have to wonder if it's a way 736 00:40:43,658 --> 00:40:46,008 to create a special portal area. 737 00:40:46,226 --> 00:40:48,402 It's got a special energy, 738 00:40:48,576 --> 00:40:51,884 perhaps being manipulated and created 739 00:40:52,014 --> 00:40:54,321 by these megalithic structures. 740 00:40:55,844 --> 00:40:58,934 What is it that compelled ancient people 741 00:40:59,152 --> 00:41:01,284 to construct enormous standing stones 742 00:41:01,415 --> 00:41:03,025 across the globe? 743 00:41:03,199 --> 00:41:05,680 It's a question that ancient astronaut theorists 744 00:41:05,898 --> 00:41:09,162 believe has an extraterrestrial answer. 745 00:41:09,336 --> 00:41:13,427 And whether they were used as energy sources, 746 00:41:13,558 --> 00:41:17,126 or as signals to be seen from above, 747 00:41:17,300 --> 00:41:22,523 or even as points of contact with otherworldly visitors, 748 00:41:22,697 --> 00:41:25,744 the more we learn about the ancient monoliths, 749 00:41:25,831 --> 00:41:27,963 the closer we will come to revealing 750 00:41:28,137 --> 00:41:31,358 the truth about our alien origins. 751 00:41:31,532 --> 00:41:33,692 >>>>oakislandtk<<<<< www.opensubtitles.org 58975
