1
00:00:00,420 --> 00:00:03,040
A 2,000-year-old computer.
2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,360
It had more complicated
inner workings than
3
00:00:06,420 --> 00:00:08,360
a modern-day Swiss watch.
4
00:00:09,180 --> 00:00:11,060
NARRATOR: Giant power plants.
5
00:00:12,100 --> 00:00:14,240
It's very strange,
but it's clearly a battery.
6
00:00:15,220 --> 00:00:19,200
And weapons more powerful
than anything that exists today.
7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,220
It roared, then flashes of
fire came out of it.
8
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,460
Throughout the world,
there are artifacts and
9
00:00:28,020 --> 00:00:29,420
stories that point to advanced
10
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,220
technology in the distant past.
11
00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:37,040
Could these be products of
our ancestors' imaginations?
12
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:41,160
Or might there be a more
profound explanation?
13
00:00:42,100 --> 00:00:44,260
It sounds fantastic to
us that they could
14
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,340
have had some kind
of alien technology.
15
00:00:47,460 --> 00:00:50,180
It's clearly what
they're describing.
16
00:00:51,220 --> 00:00:54,120
Millions of people around the
world believe
17
00:00:54,180 --> 00:00:56,160
we have been visited
in the past by
18
00:00:56,220 --> 00:00:58,140
extraterrestrial beings.
19
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,400
What if it were true?
20
00:01:01,260 --> 00:01:03,480
Did ancient aliens really help
21
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,460
to shape our history?
22
00:01:06,180 --> 00:01:09,100
And, if so, might we find proof
23
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,440
by examining mysterious devices?
24
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,100
The Giza Necropolis, Egypt.
25
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,220
1993.
26
00:01:52,460 --> 00:01:55,200
A team of engineers uses a
27
00:01:55,260 --> 00:01:59,320
remotely-operated camera in
an attempt to discover the true
28
00:01:59,380 --> 00:02:02,440
function of what is believed
to be an airshaft
29
00:02:03,180 --> 00:02:07,000
leading from the supposed queen's
chamber of the Great Pyramid.
30
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,040
First discovered in 1872,
31
00:02:11,100 --> 00:02:13,180
archaeologists long considered
32
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,380
these narrow tunnels to
be ventilation ducts.
33
00:02:17,220 --> 00:02:20,300
This robot traveled up this
small shaft, which was
34
00:02:20,420 --> 00:02:22,200
too small for a human or any
35
00:02:22,260 --> 00:02:24,340
type of device to go through,
36
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,080
and all of a sudden,
it finds a closed door
37
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,260
hinged by two
little metal clamps.
38
00:02:32,340 --> 00:02:35,180
According to mainstream
archaeologists,
39
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,160
the door and metal handles
40
00:02:37,220 --> 00:02:40,320
were intentionally built as
a symbolic passageway
41
00:02:40,420 --> 00:02:44,000
that the queen would travel
through to the afterlife.
42
00:02:47,140 --> 00:02:48,360
But some researchers have
43
00:02:48,420 --> 00:02:51,120
questioned why this passageway
44
00:02:51,180 --> 00:02:52,300
would have been designed
45
00:02:52,380 --> 00:02:54,280
with a deliberate
blockage,
46
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,220
and why-- on a
plateau filled with
47
00:02:59,300 --> 00:03:03,240
monumental pyramids believed
to serve as royal tombs--
48
00:03:03,420 --> 00:03:07,240
is the Great Pyramid the
only one with such a door?
49
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,020
Egyptologists are very
much fond of saying
50
00:03:11,100 --> 00:03:14,020
that pyramids are tombs, and that
they have been robbed at
51
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,280
some point in the past.
52
00:03:16,460 --> 00:03:19,360
But the fact is that we have
found, in the 20th century,
53
00:03:19,420 --> 00:03:22,340
a number of pyramids whose central
54
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,340
king's chamber, so
to speak, is intact.
55
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,480
And when they opened
the sarcophagus,
56
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,200
they found that sarcophagus
to be empty, as well.
57
00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:36,020
If the Great Pyramid was
not a tomb,
58
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,340
what may have been
its true purpose?
59
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,120
In May 2011, another
team of researchers
60
00:03:46,180 --> 00:03:49,040
set out to further explore
the blocked airshaft in
61
00:03:49,100 --> 00:03:50,320
the queen's chamber.
62
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,200
This time, the crew used a robot
63
00:03:53,260 --> 00:03:56,020
equipped with a
micro-snake camera
64
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,020
to slip through a hole and reveal
what was beyond the door.
65
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,040
When they actually
penetrated this small door,
66
00:04:03,100 --> 00:04:05,420
they found a hidden room
within the pyramid.
67
00:04:07,020 --> 00:04:09,060
What they found was
copper fittings,
68
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,060
or the metal fittings.
69
00:04:11,340 --> 00:04:15,180
Another feature of the back
of these metal fittings
70
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,440
was that on one side,
71
00:04:18,060 --> 00:04:21,380
the loop looked like
it was corroded.
72
00:04:23,260 --> 00:04:25,240
The camera also looked down
73
00:04:25,340 --> 00:04:27,220
and scanned the floor,
74
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,320
and what we saw
was red markings.
75
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,020
My interpretation of those were,
76
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,420
they were electrical symbols.
77
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,440
But why were they there?
78
00:04:38,300 --> 00:04:41,200
Could these artifacts
be actual evidence
79
00:04:41,260 --> 00:04:44,340
that electricity once coursed
through the structure?
80
00:04:47,340 --> 00:04:49,420
And if so, could the Great
81
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,420
Pyramid of Giza have been built
82
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,060
to serve as not a royal tomb
83
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,460
but a power plant, as some
researchers contend?
84
00:04:58,340 --> 00:05:01,020
DUNN: If we dismiss
the tomb theory,
85
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,100
and we look at the
pyramid itself,
86
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,260
we see something that modern
engineers can really
87
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,200
tune into and understand.
88
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:15,200
What we have is
a very, very precise
89
00:05:15,340 --> 00:05:20,100
building that has theprecision
of a fraction of an inch,
90
00:05:21,020 --> 00:05:23,120
is something that is
very noteworthy
91
00:05:23,180 --> 00:05:27,280
and not indicative of a
simple, agrarian culture.
92
00:05:28,060 --> 00:05:31,480
So, what we have is something
that is almost like a machine.
93
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,340
If the Great Pyramid was
a sophisticated machine,
94
00:05:36,460 --> 00:05:39,340
potentially capable
of creating energy,
95
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,320
how could it have worked?
96
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,020
Some researchers believe
clues can be found
97
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,460
by exploring underneath
the structure.
98
00:05:50,460 --> 00:05:54,380
In 2000, maritime
engineer John Cadman
99
00:05:55,020 --> 00:05:57,320
proposed a theory that the
Egyptians pumped water
100
00:05:57,380 --> 00:05:59,340
from the nearby
Nile River
101
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,340
into a small chamber underneath
the Great Pyramid.
102
00:06:06,260 --> 00:06:10,080
The pump could then create
intense hydraulic pressure
103
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,280
that would cause the
entire pyramid to vibrate.
104
00:06:17,460 --> 00:06:19,200
In the subterranean
chamber, there is
105
00:06:19,260 --> 00:06:20,480
some evidence that shows that
106
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,100
there had been water present in
107
00:06:23,220 --> 00:06:27,320
it and that there's water
erosion on the floor
108
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,240
and then up in the thin area.
109
00:06:30,300 --> 00:06:35,200
And then, also, because it was
a hydraulic pulse generator.
110
00:06:36,140 --> 00:06:38,360
See how the rarefaction wave,
111
00:06:38,420 --> 00:06:40,280
this extremely low-pressure wave,
112
00:06:40,420 --> 00:06:42,160
which would have struck the ceiling,
113
00:06:42,220 --> 00:06:44,360
and the ceiling is actually chipped.
114
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,260
And that would have
been from the acts
115
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,340
of compression waves
hitting the ceiling.
116
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,180
That's very evident.
117
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,260
If Cadman's theory proves true,
118
00:06:56,340 --> 00:06:59,480
what would have been the
purpose of the hydraulic pulse?
119
00:07:00,300 --> 00:07:04,120
Engineer Chris Dunn believes
the answer can be found
120
00:07:04,180 --> 00:07:06,480
by further examination
of the shafts in
121
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,180
what some call "the
queen's chamber,"
122
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,120
where traces of zinc
123
00:07:12,220 --> 00:07:15,140
and hydrochloric acid
have been discovered.
124
00:07:16,420 --> 00:07:19,380
I believe the chemical coming
in through the northern shaft
125
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,440
was hydrated zinc,
126
00:07:22,220 --> 00:07:24,340
and theother chemical coming through
127
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,040
the southern shaft
and into the chamber
128
00:07:27,220 --> 00:07:30,160
was dilute hydrochloric acid.
129
00:07:31,220 --> 00:07:33,480
These are actually seen
on the chamber walls.
130
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,000
Dunn suggests that the two
chemicals were poured
131
00:07:39,060 --> 00:07:41,180
down through the shafts
and then mixed
132
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:46,020
together inside the queen's
chamber, triggering combustion.
133
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,100
DUNN: This vessel represents
the queen's chamber.
134
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,060
Into the tubes, we're going
to pour hydrated zinc
135
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,460
and then hydrochloric acid.
136
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,240
When you bring these
two liquids together,
137
00:08:05,300 --> 00:08:07,380
and a chemical reaction occurs,
138
00:08:08,220 --> 00:08:13,160
and a product of that chemical
reaction is hydrogen.
139
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,200
And you can see the vapor,
the hydrogen, escaping
140
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:19,420
through the chimney.
141
00:08:20,260 --> 00:08:21,460
And there you have the reaction.
142
00:08:23,380 --> 00:08:26,180
Dunn speculates that
the hydrogen gas
143
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,000
traveled from the queen's chamber
into the king's chamber.
144
00:08:31,380 --> 00:08:35,240
Then the vibrations from
the subterranean pool
145
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,400
energized the hydrogen atoms
146
00:08:37,460 --> 00:08:40,100
into a microwave
energy beam.
147
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,220
The evidence that indicates
the use of hydrogen
148
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,280
can be found in the king's chamber.
149
00:08:51,060 --> 00:08:54,220
There's a shaft
in the king's chamber,
150
00:08:54,380 --> 00:08:58,260
has dimensions of 8.4 by 4.8,
151
00:08:58,380 --> 00:09:01,320
which would be suitable
for a wave guide
152
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,000
for a maser, or a microwave
153
00:09:04,060 --> 00:09:07,220
amplification through stimulated
emission radiation.
154
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,040
And from there we can actually
155
00:09:11,100 --> 00:09:13,420
propose many different ideas
of what they did with it.
156
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,200
The ancient Egyptians
demonstrated an
157
00:09:16,260 --> 00:09:18,420
exceptional level of skill
158
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,060
in everything that they created
159
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,140
during the Old Kingdom,
but the question remains:
160
00:09:24,260 --> 00:09:26,380
did they do it on their own?
161
00:09:26,460 --> 00:09:29,200
Or did they have some access
162
00:09:29,260 --> 00:09:34,340
to information or technology
that was not of this earth?
163
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,200
If Giza was, in fact, a power plant,
164
00:09:40,260 --> 00:09:44,260
could the energy have been used
for some otherworldly purpose,
165
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,020
as some ancient astronaut
theorists suggest?
166
00:09:49,060 --> 00:09:52,180
Perhaps further evidence that
advanced technology
167
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,160
really did exist on Earth
thousands of years ago
168
00:09:56,260 --> 00:10:00,460
can be found by examining yet
another mysterious device,
169
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,140
the Ark of the Covenant.
170
00:10:13,140 --> 00:10:17,100
NARRATOR: Approximately 17
miles northeast of Jerusalem
171
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,940
lies the ancient ruins of the
city of Jericho.
172
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,020
Here, archaeologists have
uncovered evidence
173
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,240
of settlements dating
back to 9,000 BC.
174
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,220
According to the Hebrew Bible,
175
00:10:31,380 --> 00:10:35,260
Jericho is believed to be where
God spoke to Joshua,
176
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,280
the successor to Moses,
177
00:10:37,380 --> 00:10:41,080
and instructed him to march
around the walled city
178
00:10:41,140 --> 00:10:45,360
once every six days with seven
priests carrying rams' horns,
179
00:10:46,020 --> 00:10:48,360
and followed by the
Ark of the Covenant,
180
00:10:48,420 --> 00:10:52,340
the golden chest containing
the Ten Commandments.
181
00:10:54,060 --> 00:10:56,040
Then, on the seventh day,
182
00:10:56,140 --> 00:10:58,000
under orders by God,
183
00:10:58,060 --> 00:10:59,940
Joshua and the
Israelites
184
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,240
marched around the perimeter
of the city one last time...
185
00:11:05,260 --> 00:11:08,400
...but this time they
blew the rams' horns.
186
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,260
The walls of Jericho fell,
187
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,080
and the city
was sacked.
188
00:11:21,420 --> 00:11:24,960
In the Old Testament, you
see very clear descriptions
189
00:11:25,020 --> 00:11:28,020
in Joshua 6 about the shofar,
190
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,080
which is described
as a trumpet that
191
00:11:30,140 --> 00:11:32,100
was used in the battle of Jericho
192
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,260
to actually bring the walls down.
193
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,140
To religious
scholars,
194
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,020
the collapse of
Jericho's walls was a miracle.
195
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,060
To most modern-day scientists
and historians,
196
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:50,180
the destruction was most probably
caused by an earthquake.
197
00:11:50,420 --> 00:11:53,380
But could it have been
something else?
198
00:11:54,340 --> 00:11:59,220
Could the Israelites have possessed
advanced sound wave technology?
199
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,280
If so, where did it come from?
200
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,300
In the scriptures, we have
a fascinating story about
201
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,940
the fall of the walls of Jericho.
202
00:12:08,100 --> 00:12:10,960
Armies were told to circle the
wall repeatedly
203
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,200
and then finally blow their horns,
and down came the walls.
204
00:12:14,300 --> 00:12:16,940
And we know there was
a powerful presence.
205
00:12:17,020 --> 00:12:18,160
The Ark of the Covenant,
206
00:12:18,420 --> 00:12:22,180
this mysterious, sacred item, was
with them at all times, which,
207
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,260
of course, was part of the
event and part
208
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,160
of the fall of
the walls of Jericho.
209
00:12:29,300 --> 00:12:34,180
The idea that some
kind of sonic weapon
210
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,960
was used to
destroy these huge, thick,
211
00:12:38,060 --> 00:12:40,020
ancient walls to allow the
Israelites
212
00:12:40,100 --> 00:12:44,060
to basically take over that
city, is a fascinating one.
213
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,240
So what kind of technology
were they using?
214
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,960
It sounds utterly fantastic to us
that they could have had some kind
215
00:12:52,060 --> 00:12:55,000
of advanced alien
technology.
216
00:12:55,140 --> 00:12:57,260
It's clearly what
they're describing.
217
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:03,940
There is little doubt that the Ark
of the Covenant was a weapon.
218
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,400
It was described as a weapon,
famously,
219
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,360
when the Israelites
crossed over into Canaan,
220
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,360
and they had to
pass by Jericho.
221
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,980
And it could be that there was
some technology.
222
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,080
According to many
ancient astronaut theorists,
223
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,060
Moses and the Israelites
224
00:13:27,140 --> 00:13:31,140
acquired a supernatural source
of energy at Mount Sinai.
225
00:13:31,940 --> 00:13:34,000
This powerful energy source
226
00:13:34,100 --> 00:13:37,040
was later contained in the
Ark of the Covenant
227
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,960
and would have provided
the kind of power necessary
228
00:13:40,060 --> 00:13:42,160
to amplify Joshua's horns,
229
00:13:42,220 --> 00:13:45,240
and make them into a
powerful sonic weapon.
230
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,100
The Ark of the Covenant
appears to be some sort
231
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,040
of advanced technology.
232
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,320
What's interesting about the
Battle of Jericho
233
00:13:54,380 --> 00:13:57,180
is that this particular
use of the shofar
234
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,340
clearly seems to be the same
thing that we're seeing with
235
00:14:00,940 --> 00:14:04,240
particle beam technology, death
ray technology,
236
00:14:04,340 --> 00:14:06,220
thunderbolt
technology.
237
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,120
It very clearly seems that, once
again, we have an
238
00:14:09,180 --> 00:14:13,180
extraterrestrial technology that
the ancient people had at the ready
239
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:17,120
that they could use, when
needed, for military campaigns.
240
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,960
But even if the Israelites possessed
some sort of advanced,
241
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,180
extraterrestrial
technology,
242
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,220
could the amplified
sound of rams' horns
243
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,220
really bring down stone walls?
244
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,060
According to scientist and
former astronaut,
245
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,060
Professor
Taylor Wang,
246
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,380
recent research into the
field of physical acoustics
247
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,380
suggests it is a
distinct possibility.
248
00:14:45,980 --> 00:14:48,140
Jericho, wall breaking apart.
249
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,100
If you said it has happened,
250
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,320
caused by acoustic,
caused by sound...
251
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,960
Well, the possibility has to be,
252
00:14:57,020 --> 00:15:00,200
somehow a resonance
is built in that wall.
253
00:15:00,260 --> 00:15:01,960
Ah, may not be the whole wall,
254
00:15:02,020 --> 00:15:03,360
may be some of the
structure material,
255
00:15:03,420 --> 00:15:07,040
when that resonance happens,
amplitude gets large enough.
256
00:15:07,140 --> 00:15:09,360
Yes, it could destroy
almost anything.
257
00:15:09,940 --> 00:15:13,940
Because what the resonance does
is store enormous amount of energy.
258
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,340
So you keep on,
keep on feeding it.
259
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,100
Eventually, it shatters everything.
260
00:15:22,020 --> 00:15:23,400
When you want to know
how powerful sound is,
261
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,060
you have to realize that the basic
262
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,980
thing that sound is,
is a pressure wave.
263
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:28,160
And it will come
down to the amount
264
00:15:28,220 --> 00:15:30,080
of energy you put
into your sound wave,
265
00:15:30,140 --> 00:15:34,960
and whether or not that particular
pressure wave you generate
266
00:15:35,060 --> 00:15:38,080
will couple or impact the thing
you're trying to destroy.
267
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:42,980
You can make it quite powerful,
268
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,220
'cause you can make a
very high amplitude,
269
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,300
very large pressures
in the sound.
270
00:15:46,380 --> 00:15:48,120
It might be at a
frequency or amplitude
271
00:15:48,180 --> 00:15:49,360
where we no longer
hear it as sound,
272
00:15:49,420 --> 00:15:52,020
but from a physics point
of view, it is still sound,
273
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,000
because it's a
pressure wave in the air.
274
00:15:54,060 --> 00:15:56,420
So, it can get quite destructive
if you put enough energy into it.
275
00:16:00,420 --> 00:16:02,400
You could also think of it as a
particle weapon,
276
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,120
because you're
moving air around,
277
00:16:04,180 --> 00:16:06,320
and you would just need
something to focus the sound,
278
00:16:06,380 --> 00:16:07,400
which we know how to do.
279
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,180
And so that would give you a
directed energy beam with sound.
280
00:16:11,220 --> 00:16:14,220
Did advanced
extraterrestrial technology
281
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,260
really help the Israelites survive
their exodus in the desert,
282
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,400
as the Hebrew Bible
contends?
283
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,300
And, if so, might early humans
have possessed other,
284
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,400
equally astounding
technological devices?
285
00:16:29,220 --> 00:16:32,240
Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes
286
00:16:32,300 --> 00:16:36,240
and believe further clues can be
found by examining an object
287
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,420
that dates back to the
second century BC,
288
00:16:40,020 --> 00:16:43,000
one that functioned
as a computer.
289
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,040
Did aliens really
inspire our ancestors
290
00:16:54,140 --> 00:16:57,060
to build ancient
temples and pyramids?
291
00:16:57,940 --> 00:16:59,180
And if they came here,
292
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,160
did they leave behind any
advanced knowledge of physics,
293
00:17:02,260 --> 00:17:04,280
astronomy
or mathematics?
294
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,920
If so, is there any evidence
that remains to this day?
295
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,100
One example might be this one.
296
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,360
Often described as the world's
first mechanical computer,
297
00:17:17,100 --> 00:17:19,960
it dates back over 2,000 years.
298
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,160
The Antikythera device was
299
00:17:23,220 --> 00:17:26,900
found in 1900 by
sponge divers
300
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,040
diving off a small island in the
Aegean called Antikythera.
301
00:17:31,900 --> 00:17:33,160
There was a shipwreck there,
302
00:17:33,220 --> 00:17:38,120
and in it was a coral-encrusted box,
303
00:17:38,300 --> 00:17:41,320
and it was made of metal alloys.
304
00:17:41,980 --> 00:17:44,060
And it then went to
the Athens Museum
305
00:17:44,120 --> 00:17:46,200
where, a good 50 years later,
306
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:50,100
they were able to x-ray this box
307
00:17:50,180 --> 00:17:53,000
and they were able to discern
308
00:17:53,140 --> 00:17:56,140
cogged wheels that were
interconnected
309
00:17:56,260 --> 00:17:59,220
and give us a
very good depiction
310
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:00,880
of what this thing was.
311
00:18:00,980 --> 00:18:02,940
And it is a computer.
312
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,120
It's a really sophisticated
machine.
313
00:18:10,940 --> 00:18:12,180
It's a very interesting
piece of technology,
314
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,080
because it served two purposes.
315
00:18:14,140 --> 00:18:17,940
One was that it was an astronomical
device where you could,
316
00:18:18,060 --> 00:18:20,040
by using it, chart your
position to the stars
317
00:18:20,140 --> 00:18:22,060
and navigate your
way through the
318
00:18:22,180 --> 00:18:24,200
It was also an
astrological seas. device,
319
00:18:24,300 --> 00:18:26,100
so that someone could tell you,
320
00:18:26,180 --> 00:18:28,100
"Ah, if you were born
on this date,
321
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:29,920
and your planet
sign is this,
322
00:18:29,980 --> 00:18:31,320
then certain things were
going to happen to
323
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,920
you when the planets
are in this alignment."
324
00:18:33,980 --> 00:18:38,200
So, it was a very interesting piece
of technology that, literally, had
325
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,280
more complicated
gears and inner workings
326
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:43,280
than a modern-day Swiss watch.
327
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,320
And it's found to be dated, I
think, like 200 BC.
328
00:18:46,900 --> 00:18:49,000
So, it's really an anomaly as to
329
00:18:49,060 --> 00:18:52,000
who could've created that and
what it was being used for.
330
00:18:55,260 --> 00:19:00,140
When archeologists first started to
examine this thing in the 1950s,
331
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,300
they said that they
never could conceive
332
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,920
of the ancient Greeks having
such complicated machinery.
333
00:19:06,980 --> 00:19:09,280
And, in fact, they said, this
was tantamount to finding
334
00:19:09,340 --> 00:19:12,180
a jet airplane in the
tomb of King Tut.
335
00:19:23,900 --> 00:19:26,300
Even older than the
Antikythera mechanism
336
00:19:26,980 --> 00:19:31,160
are these carvings on a wall at the
Dendera Temple complex in Egypt.
337
00:19:32,220 --> 00:19:36,200
To some, the strange designs
look eerily similar
338
00:19:36,260 --> 00:19:39,160
to objects
very much in use today.
339
00:19:39,360 --> 00:19:43,000
In Egypt, there is
this underground crypt
340
00:19:43,120 --> 00:19:48,120
at Dendera that was always secret,
and only the high priests
341
00:19:48,260 --> 00:19:51,100
had access to that crypt.
342
00:19:51,220 --> 00:19:55,000
It's very hot in there, very
narrow, low ceiling.
343
00:19:55,120 --> 00:19:58,080
And on the walls,
you have these reliefs
344
00:19:58,220 --> 00:20:03,160
of what looks like
ancient lightbulbs.
345
00:20:03,340 --> 00:20:07,100
Because we have to
question one thing.
346
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:12,940
How did the ancient Egyptians
light the inside of their tombs?
347
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,280
According to most
mainstream archeologists,
348
00:20:18,340 --> 00:20:21,020
torches were used by the
ancient Egyptians
349
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,900
to light the pitch-black chambers
of tombs and temples.
350
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:26,960
Yet, nowhere on the ceilings
351
00:20:27,020 --> 00:20:30,240
is there even the slightest
evidence of soot or smoke residue.
352
00:20:32,340 --> 00:20:35,260
There isn't enough oxygen
353
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,960
inside those tombs with which to
support or feed
354
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,060
a flame of a torch.
355
00:20:42,100 --> 00:20:44,140
The only remaining solution is,
356
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,000
by some sort of an artificial
light source.
357
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,880
And that is, for example, a
lightbulb.
358
00:20:52,940 --> 00:20:56,300
So, at the underground
crypt at Dendera,
359
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,120
we find reliefs of such
lightbulbs.
360
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,980
But how could the
ancient Egyptians
361
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,000
have used anything resembling
a modern-day lightbulb
362
00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:09,220
without access to
electricity?
363
00:21:09,300 --> 00:21:14,120
After all, electricity wouldn't be
discovered for thousands of years.
364
00:21:14,260 --> 00:21:18,140
That is, of course, with the
exception of what scientists call
365
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,060
the Baghdad Battery.
366
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,140
The Baghdad Battery
was discovered in ancient Iraq.
367
00:21:23,220 --> 00:21:25,300
Scholars today say there's no way
368
00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:28,320
that ancient man was using
electricity or lightbulbs.
369
00:21:28,940 --> 00:21:30,240
So, they look at
this Baghdad Battery--
370
00:21:30,300 --> 00:21:33,040
and there's about a dozen of them
that have been found in Iraq--
371
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,140
and the only mainstream
theory is that they were
372
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,220
using it for electroplating jewelry.
373
00:21:38,120 --> 00:21:41,240
Two major proponents of
ancient alien theory,
374
00:21:41,360 --> 00:21:44,960
Jason Martell and
Giorgio Tsoukalos,
375
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:49,300
demonstrate just how the Baghdad
Battery could generate electricity,
376
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,220
using a modern
mock-up of the device.
377
00:21:52,300 --> 00:21:55,020
Well, basically,
this is made out of a clay pot,
378
00:21:55,100 --> 00:21:57,900
clay just found naturally in
that region in Southern Iraq.
379
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,920
And then they would use
a small copper lining
380
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,260
and something
along the lines of an asphalt
381
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,300
stopper wrapped
around an iron rod.
382
00:22:05,360 --> 00:22:07,920
And these all applied together
383
00:22:08,020 --> 00:22:10,160
and the combination of some weak
acidic acid--
384
00:22:10,220 --> 00:22:13,300
vinegar, grape juice, orange
juice in this case, wine--
385
00:22:13,360 --> 00:22:16,060
would be able to generate
a charge by combining
386
00:22:16,120 --> 00:22:18,920
these elements with the rod, the
iron rod and the copper.
387
00:22:19,020 --> 00:22:20,220
And the combination of that creates
388
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,160
an abundance of, uh,
electricity.
389
00:22:22,220 --> 00:22:24,020
So what we're gonna do is, uh,
390
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,980
basically just fill the clay pot
with some orange juice here.
391
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,200
I'll try not to spill it too
much.
392
00:22:28,260 --> 00:22:29,320
Okay.
393
00:22:29,940 --> 00:22:32,060
And then we'll go ahead and put
the copper rod back in there.
394
00:22:32,120 --> 00:22:33,220
Copper and iron rod.
395
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,320
We'll give it a moment to kind
of fill that copper area there.
396
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,180
And then by turning on
the volt meter
397
00:22:39,100 --> 00:22:41,300
and applying this
to each side,
398
00:22:42,020 --> 00:22:43,940
we should be able
to generate a charge.
399
00:22:46,060 --> 00:22:48,080
And there it goes,
into the positive.
400
00:22:48,140 --> 00:22:49,880
Mm-hmm.
401
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,300
And if we give it some time
402
00:22:52,900 --> 00:22:55,060
to get the electrolytes
really buzzing in there,
403
00:22:55,120 --> 00:22:57,360
you'll see that this volt
will actually continue to rise.
404
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,260
It is a battery.
Everybody agrees with that.
405
00:23:02,360 --> 00:23:06,040
But nobody knows why they made
it and how they made it.
406
00:23:06,100 --> 00:23:07,980
What mind would think of that?
407
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,260
You know, electrical current
back several thousand years ago?
408
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,100
It's very strange, but it's
clearly a battery.
409
00:23:15,980 --> 00:23:18,220
The whole idea
that ancient civilizations
410
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:22,160
actually had knowledge of
electricity and used electricity
411
00:23:22,220 --> 00:23:25,180
is an accepted
archeological fact today.
412
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,240
Just like in our own
civilization,
413
00:23:28,300 --> 00:23:30,220
where about 200
years ago,
414
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,080
Benjamin Franklin and other
scientists began experimenting with
415
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,100
simple electrical devices,
416
00:23:36,260 --> 00:23:40,320
we now have evidence that
over 3,000 years ago,
417
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,040
people were also experimenting
with electrical devices.
418
00:23:44,220 --> 00:23:46,040
Where might it have led them?
419
00:23:46,100 --> 00:23:49,280
What other electrical devices would
they have been able to create?
420
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:56,000
I believe they probably created
all kinds of electrical devices.
421
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,260
Are the Antikythera
device and the Baghdad Battery
422
00:24:01,360 --> 00:24:05,040
evidence that our ancestors
really were in possession
423
00:24:05,140 --> 00:24:07,080
of advanced technology?
424
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:13,060
And if so, might this technology
have had extraterrestrial origins?
425
00:24:13,260 --> 00:24:17,260
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe further clues may be found
426
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,320
in the story of a
top secret Nazi project
427
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,120
simply known as The Bell.
428
00:24:29,300 --> 00:24:32,960
In a remote valley just outside
Ludwikowice, Poland...
429
00:24:35,140 --> 00:24:38,020
stands a strange circular structure
430
00:24:39,140 --> 00:24:43,820
known as the Henge,
or Fly Trap.
431
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,220
We are in the
middle of a valley,
432
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,880
which was
taken over by the SS
433
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,100
and transformed into a secret
434
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,260
research, development and
industrial facility.
435
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,040
It was closely guarded.
436
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,860
Inside of this valley we have
three security rings,
437
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,980
closing specific
areas from each other.
438
00:25:12,100 --> 00:25:14,920
Inside of the innermost circle
439
00:25:14,980 --> 00:25:18,260
this structure stands, and it's
quite mysterious.
440
00:25:22,180 --> 00:25:25,100
Mainstream scholars
believe the structure served
441
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,180
as the concrete support
base to a cooling tower
442
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,200
used by a
coalmine.
443
00:25:31,120 --> 00:25:33,300
But according to
Witkowski and others,
444
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,840
the German high command
445
00:25:35,980 --> 00:25:39,060
would not have devoted so many
military resources here
446
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,160
if the valley contained
only an energy plant.
447
00:25:43,820 --> 00:25:46,020
They say the Henge was used to test
448
00:25:46,120 --> 00:25:50,040
a new highly advanced
machine known as Die Glocke,
449
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:52,940
or "The Bell."
450
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,180
The Bell, was probably one of
451
00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:00,860
the top secret projects of the
Third Reich.
452
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,900
It was so secret that it's even
unclear on how much Hitler was told.
453
00:26:06,180 --> 00:26:09,120
There's a great deal of evidence
that suggests that, uh,
454
00:26:09,260 --> 00:26:13,020
the scientists,
including Hermann Oberth
455
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,020
and Wernher von Braun and others,
456
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,260
were working on a bell-
shaped craft
457
00:26:18,940 --> 00:26:21,260
that was electromagnetic in
its propulsion system.
458
00:26:29,020 --> 00:26:33,140
Surviving sketches depict The
Bell as having a ceramic covering
459
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:38,040
and dimensions measuring ten
feet high and five feet in diameter.
460
00:26:38,860 --> 00:26:42,960
Its design appears contrary to
modern aerodynamic principles.
461
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,200
If you're starting to think about
a bell shape for flight,
462
00:26:46,820 --> 00:26:48,960
the-the challenge you're
facing, I think,
463
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,300
is making it aerodynamic for
when you move around
464
00:26:51,900 --> 00:26:53,280
side to side and forward
and backward.
465
00:26:53,860 --> 00:26:55,860
'Cause you're
presenting a very large
466
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,980
cross-sectional area to the air.
467
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,160
And you're gonna
generate a lot of drag.
468
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,180
So you might be very good if you
want just, like,
469
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,140
a hovercraft
that went up and down.
470
00:27:04,860 --> 00:27:07,140
But once you start moving, I
think you're gonna run into trouble.
471
00:27:08,100 --> 00:27:12,840
But if The Bell was not a new type
of aircraft, then what was it?
472
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,820
According to some ancient
astronaut theorists,
473
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,820
The Bell may have been
a time machine.
474
00:27:20,980 --> 00:27:23,960
There is a kind of, uh,
vortices named solitons,
475
00:27:24,020 --> 00:27:27,080
which are vortices isolated
electromagnetically
476
00:27:27,140 --> 00:27:28,940
from the outside world.
477
00:27:29,140 --> 00:27:32,040
Recent research and experiments show
478
00:27:32,140 --> 00:27:36,020
that the link between
gravity and electromagnetic
479
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:40,060
physics is much stronger than the
scientists thought for some time.
480
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,000
The laws of the universe being
universal, if you take
481
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:49,040
the right electromagnetic
field and very high voltage--
482
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,040
pulse it or phase it in a
certain way--
483
00:27:52,120 --> 00:27:54,120
you can get some
very strange phenomenon.
484
00:27:54,180 --> 00:27:56,980
You can make things disappear
and reappear.
485
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,240
Therefore, it follows to reason
486
00:27:59,300 --> 00:28:02,260
that this would be studied and
that the Nazi Bell
487
00:28:02,820 --> 00:28:04,820
was probably
an-an attempt
488
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,840
by that regime to develop, uh,
some type of flying machine
489
00:28:09,980 --> 00:28:13,140
that would use these sort of
advanced electromagnetic concepts.
490
00:28:15,820 --> 00:28:18,300
But was time travel
even a possibility?
491
00:28:19,060 --> 00:28:22,240
According to German-born
physicist Albert Einstein,
492
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,220
humans were theoretically
capable of it.
493
00:28:26,020 --> 00:28:28,940
His theory of special
relativity actually showed,
494
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,020
for the first time, that time can
slow down when you go very fast.
495
00:28:32,300 --> 00:28:36,000
And so that has an impact on
going into the future.
496
00:28:36,060 --> 00:28:39,080
It allows you to travel really
fast somewhere,
497
00:28:39,140 --> 00:28:41,120
and your time goes slower
than somebody else
498
00:28:41,180 --> 00:28:42,840
and you end up in the future,
499
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:44,840
relative to what you
thought you were doing.
500
00:28:45,820 --> 00:28:47,900
The harder one to think about
is general relativity,
501
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,900
where Einstein talks about gravity
502
00:28:49,980 --> 00:28:51,960
and how to describe gravity.
503
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:56,260
And there you can start thinking
about space-time and bending it,
504
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,300
and actually by warping
space and time in the right way,
505
00:28:59,900 --> 00:29:01,980
you end up going backwards in time.
506
00:29:07,300 --> 00:29:09,060
While no records exist
507
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,080
indicating The Bell was
ever used during the war,
508
00:29:14,860 --> 00:29:17,900
as the Allied military forces
pushed into Germany,
509
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,880
the entire project
and its commander--
510
00:29:20,980 --> 00:29:22,920
SS General
Hans Kammler--
511
00:29:23,020 --> 00:29:24,940
suddenly
disappeared.
512
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:27,820
SS General Hans Kammler,
513
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,040
who was going to defect
in exchange for immunity.
514
00:29:32,060 --> 00:29:34,960
But then, by the end of the war,
he disappeared.
515
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:39,080
So where did Hans Kammler go,
and what did he take?
516
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,300
I think he took The Bell.
517
00:29:43,140 --> 00:29:46,020
Did he create a wormhole?
Did he create a stargate?
518
00:29:46,180 --> 00:29:48,180
And this is what the Nazis were
working on.
519
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,080
Did Kammler and the
other Nazis
520
00:29:54,140 --> 00:29:58,920
really use The Bell to escape
justice by disappearing across time?
521
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,300
Or possibly to another planet?
522
00:30:04,100 --> 00:30:08,940
In the spring of 1945, Germany's
war effort collapsed.
523
00:30:09,220 --> 00:30:12,920
And as the Allied armies
advanced towards Berlin,
524
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:17,160
German scientists and engineers
abandoned their laboratories.
525
00:30:17,300 --> 00:30:20,900
Hitler's search for a wonder
weapon failed.
526
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,840
Instead, it was the Americans
who scored the decisive
527
00:30:26,900 --> 00:30:31,000
technological edge with their
development of the atomic bomb.
528
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,020
But according to ancient
astronaut theorists,
529
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:40,040
a similar and perhaps even more
devastating weapon
530
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,100
had already
existed--
531
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,120
unleashed in an area
that is now part of India--
532
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,100
more than 3,000 years ago.
533
00:30:56,140 --> 00:31:01,160
An unmanned aerial
vehicle hurtles across the sky.
534
00:31:02,820 --> 00:31:05,820
It travels at supersonic speeds,
535
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:10,240
spitting fire,
launching deadly missiles,
536
00:31:11,820 --> 00:31:14,200
programmed to seek and destroy.
537
00:31:16,060 --> 00:31:18,200
The effect is devastating.
538
00:31:19,180 --> 00:31:23,000
High-tech warfare
at its most lethal.
539
00:31:23,060 --> 00:31:27,960
But what could be a page stolen
from a U.S. military black project
540
00:31:28,100 --> 00:31:31,060
is actually a
description written down
541
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,920
over 2,500 years ago
542
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:38,180
in the sacred Hindu text
known as the Mahabharata.
543
00:31:40,140 --> 00:31:42,220
When it comes to the
ancient Indian accounts,
544
00:31:42,860 --> 00:31:46,240
they're really eyewitness
testimony of the gods fighting.
545
00:31:49,100 --> 00:31:51,200
When you read the
ancient Hindu epics,
546
00:31:51,260 --> 00:31:54,080
they talk about horrific weapons.
547
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:59,900
Missiles and atomic weapons,
548
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,240
massive laser weapons
that are melting
549
00:32:04,820 --> 00:32:06,840
and devastating entire cities.
550
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,080
I refuse to think
551
00:32:10,220 --> 00:32:14,160
that our ancestors came up with
these stories out of thin air.
552
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,880
When writing was first invented,
553
00:32:16,940 --> 00:32:19,840
they wrote down their history.
554
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:26,040
The first things that were ever
written down were actual events.
555
00:32:27,220 --> 00:32:31,280
How is it that some of the earliest
written accounts of warfare
556
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,140
describe sophisticated
weaponry that humans
557
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,040
wouldn't develop for
thousands of years?
558
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,900
For the answer, ancient
astronaut theorists
559
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,800
point to numerous descriptions
of deadly weapons
560
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,060
found throughout the
Mahabharata.
561
00:32:49,860 --> 00:32:54,260
Many strikingly similar to those
used by the military today.
562
00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:00,920
One example are the incendiary
weapons wielded by Vishnu,
563
00:33:02,820 --> 00:33:06,040
which are specially equipped
to find their targets.
564
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:10,260
Vishnu has a flying guided
missile, the Narayanastra.
565
00:33:11,260 --> 00:33:13,100
And once it is launched,
566
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,820
it will destroy everything
that is moving.
567
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,060
So, you know, according to the
description,
568
00:33:19,140 --> 00:33:22,160
it is a motion
detecting weapon,
569
00:33:23,900 --> 00:33:27,000
which is pretty much like
our modern weaponry.
570
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:32,000
There is also a weapon that is
heat-seeking.
571
00:33:33,180 --> 00:33:36,180
Heat-seeking is a very effective
way of finding something.
572
00:33:36,260 --> 00:33:38,880
You would fire a missile from
behind one aircraft
573
00:33:38,940 --> 00:33:40,840
at an aircraft in front of you,
574
00:33:40,900 --> 00:33:43,020
specifically targeted against
the hot engine.
575
00:33:44,900 --> 00:33:48,060
And then you were able to move
off from behind the airplane,
576
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,960
and the heat-seeker would still
be able to find the target.
577
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:58,240
I am aware that
there are forces of nature.
578
00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:03,960
You've got thunder, lightning,
earthquakes.
579
00:34:04,020 --> 00:34:06,920
But how would you go from
witnessing that
580
00:34:07,020 --> 00:34:10,840
to a description
of heat-seeking missiles?
581
00:34:13,020 --> 00:34:15,060
In addition to
guided missiles,
582
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,040
the Mahabharata
is filled with accounts
583
00:34:18,100 --> 00:34:21,280
of other sophisticated
weapons wielded by the gods.
584
00:34:22,140 --> 00:34:26,800
In the Mahabharata, 46 different
types of weapon are described.
585
00:34:27,820 --> 00:34:30,040
And each one has a specific
function.
586
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:32,240
The Pashupatastra is a weapon
587
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,160
that actually multiplies into
seven different arrows.
588
00:34:35,980 --> 00:34:38,920
So then it hits seven different
targets at the same time.
589
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,140
Salva is an anti-god.
590
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,880
He can make his vehicle
disappear.
591
00:34:45,980 --> 00:34:49,280
So we're talking about a flying
object that is stealth.
592
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,120
And he also can
put people into sleep.
593
00:34:54,060 --> 00:34:57,020
So we're perhaps talking
about nerve gas.
594
00:34:57,900 --> 00:35:01,960
They talk about weapons that
are so high-tech, that it's...
595
00:35:02,060 --> 00:35:04,840
Could only be from
extraterrestrials.
596
00:35:06,220 --> 00:35:09,820
But of all the weapons described
in the Mahabharata,
597
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,980
perhaps the most deadly was a
device called the Brahmastra.
598
00:35:14,220 --> 00:35:18,860
A weapon that the texts warned
was never to be used.
599
00:35:18,980 --> 00:35:23,060
Brahmastra is described
as the ultimate weapon.
600
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:27,280
Once it is launched, it will
simply burn everything.
601
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,040
So it will incinerate
the entire universe.
602
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:38,020
We're talking about a nuclear blast
603
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,140
a hundredfold magnitude of
the bomb that we have seen
604
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,080
or experienced in our own times.
605
00:35:43,900 --> 00:35:44,980
Should never be used.
606
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:50,120
And-and yet someone was going to
make use of that Brahmastra.
607
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:55,860
So that's the dilemma that the books
talks about in the Mahabharata.
608
00:35:57,240 --> 00:36:00,040
India now has a rocket program,
609
00:36:00,140 --> 00:36:03,220
and one of their rockets is
called Shakti.
610
00:36:04,100 --> 00:36:06,040
Shakti means goddess energy.
611
00:36:06,260 --> 00:36:09,180
This is also another divine weapon.
612
00:36:10,180 --> 00:36:12,980
Indians are now sort of going
back to their text or their
613
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:17,880
mythology and they're reliving
it by their modern technology.
614
00:36:22,020 --> 00:36:25,220
Is it possible that alien
beings visiting the earth
615
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,200
thousands of years ago
616
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,880
dealt with the same issues
of nuclear annihilation
617
00:36:30,940 --> 00:36:33,180
that humans are
dealing with today?
618
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:36,160
And might the deadly weapons
619
00:36:36,220 --> 00:36:39,180
currently being deployed by the
world's military
620
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,180
really be recreations of
weapons first used on earth
621
00:36:43,240 --> 00:36:46,200
by extraterrestrials
in the ancient past?
622
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:49,200
Perhaps.
623
00:36:49,900 --> 00:36:52,020
But then it should also be possible
624
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,820
to predict mankind's
military future
625
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,100
by searching through
still more ancient texts.
626
00:37:06,860 --> 00:37:08,220
May, 2010.
627
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,780
Off the coast of California.
628
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:15,840
A powerful new weapon shoots
down unmanned aerial drones
629
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,180
during secret testing carried
out by the U.S. Navy.
630
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,860
Firing from a warship at a
distance of nearly two miles,
631
00:37:25,140 --> 00:37:27,840
a ray of intense laser energy
632
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,120
burns through targets
traveling at speeds
633
00:37:30,180 --> 00:37:32,920
of more than 300 miles per hour.
634
00:37:34,100 --> 00:37:37,980
But is it possible that such
so-called death rays
635
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,120
could have been used before?
636
00:37:40,220 --> 00:37:43,120
Perhaps in ancient times?
637
00:37:43,900 --> 00:37:47,160
I'm quite convinced that there
have been, in-in the past,
638
00:37:47,780 --> 00:37:49,120
advanced civilizations on Earth
639
00:37:49,180 --> 00:37:52,000
that did have such things
as the so-called death ray.
640
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:55,040
Whether it was used as a weapon
641
00:37:55,100 --> 00:37:57,780
or whether it was
just observed being used
642
00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,920
is a very, very open question.
643
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,080
In 214 BC,
644
00:38:04,900 --> 00:38:08,020
Greeks living in the Sicilian
city of Syracuse
645
00:38:08,100 --> 00:38:11,900
prepared for an attack
by a fleet of Roman warships.
646
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,880
Though outnumbered by a
superior military force,
647
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,940
ancient texts
suggest that Syracuse
648
00:38:19,020 --> 00:38:22,980
was well defended by a mysterious
and powerful new weapon.
649
00:38:25,060 --> 00:38:28,800
Probably the most
famous ancient death ray
650
00:38:28,860 --> 00:38:32,980
was the one that was built by the
Greek inventor Archimedes.
651
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,920
He was able to create
this giant mirror
652
00:38:36,980 --> 00:38:42,940
and parabolic disc and
focus the sun's rays on the fleet
653
00:38:43,100 --> 00:38:45,220
and set these ships on fire.
654
00:38:47,940 --> 00:38:50,140
So here we have what would be a
primitive kind
655
00:38:50,220 --> 00:38:52,960
of death ray that
really worked.
656
00:38:56,220 --> 00:39:01,100
But how could Archimedes have
conceived such a formidable weapon?
657
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:05,140
One far in advance of
any known at the time?
658
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:10,020
Researchers suggest the inventor
may have drawn inspiration
659
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:15,120
from Greek myths written nearly 600
years before the battle of Syracuse.
660
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:19,840
Myths that told the stories of
gods that brandished cosmic
661
00:39:19,900 --> 00:39:23,020
weapons of incredible
destructive force.
662
00:39:25,860 --> 00:39:27,200
If you look in
the Greek tradition,
663
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,980
they have a very clear description
of Zeus' thunderbolt,
664
00:39:32,180 --> 00:39:35,100
which he was able
to point at people or at
665
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:39,040
other things that he wanted to
explode, hit the button,
666
00:39:39,140 --> 00:39:41,780
and what they described as
lightning would come out
667
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:43,980
and create a
fierce and terrible explosion.
668
00:39:47,940 --> 00:39:50,100
But if death ray
type weapons
669
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,900
had been used in
ancient times,
670
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,800
might there be
some sort of tangible proof?
671
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,000
Perhaps there is.
672
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,220
Here, scattered throughout the
Scottish countryside,
673
00:40:02,780 --> 00:40:05,140
can be found numerous
ancient ruins.
674
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:09,120
Many appear to have been forts
or other enclosures,
675
00:40:09,180 --> 00:40:11,800
dating back
thousands of years.
676
00:40:12,100 --> 00:40:14,760
Remarkably, they also appear
677
00:40:14,820 --> 00:40:17,060
to have been subjected
to fire and heat
678
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:22,020
so intense it practically turned
the stone structures into glass.
679
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:27,020
It's a process more scientifically
known as vitrification.
680
00:40:28,820 --> 00:40:30,940
Here you have these
stone buildings
681
00:40:31,100 --> 00:40:33,940
in which an analysis
of the outside
682
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:35,900
comes to
the conclusion
683
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:40,880
that they were heated to over 1,000
degrees Celsius in temperature.
684
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,920
Conventional fire could not have
reached this heat.
685
00:40:44,060 --> 00:40:46,000
You needed a sustained burn
686
00:40:46,060 --> 00:40:48,980
at 1,000 degrees Celsius for
a long period of time.
687
00:40:52,820 --> 00:40:54,820
According to Celtic
legend,
688
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:56,940
there once was a god
named Lugh,
689
00:40:58,180 --> 00:41:00,780
also known as the
Shining One,
690
00:41:00,900 --> 00:41:03,760
the Sun God, and
the God of War.
691
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,040
Like the Greek god Zeus,
692
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:11,220
Lugh was said to wield
a mighty magic spear
693
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,900
not unlike the thunderbolts
of his Greek counterpart.
694
00:41:15,980 --> 00:41:17,820
When battle was
near,
695
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,200
Lugh would draw out his spear,
696
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:26,040
and it roared and then
flashes of fire came out of it
697
00:41:26,220 --> 00:41:30,040
and it tore through the ranks of
the enemy,
698
00:41:30,140 --> 00:41:33,860
never tired of
killing and slaying.
699
00:41:36,900 --> 00:41:39,200
It was one amazing weapon.
700
00:41:40,180 --> 00:41:45,220
I mean, how else can we explain
all those numerous vitrified forts
701
00:41:45,780 --> 00:41:50,940
where the surface of the
stone is as smooth as glass?
702
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,080
And these spots
can only be found
703
00:41:54,140 --> 00:41:57,120
in very concentrated areas
704
00:41:57,740 --> 00:41:59,840
through Northern Scotland.
705
00:42:00,180 --> 00:42:04,100
All these descriptions of
sophisticated weaponry
706
00:42:04,220 --> 00:42:06,860
sounds almost like science fiction.
707
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:08,100
But is it really?
708
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:11,880
Because we have those
weapons today.
709
00:42:13,820 --> 00:42:17,820
And I think that all the stuff
that we have today
710
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,160
has been around before
and that our past
711
00:42:20,220 --> 00:42:23,960
is not science fiction but
science fact.
712
00:42:26,860 --> 00:42:28,160
Deadly laser beams.
713
00:42:30,060 --> 00:42:31,980
Acoustic weapons.
714
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:34,940
Time machines.
715
00:42:35,860 --> 00:42:37,940
Were these mysterious devices
716
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:42,780
really in the possession of our
ancestors thousands of years ago?
717
00:42:43,780 --> 00:42:46,840
And if so, could they have been
built with the help
718
00:42:46,900 --> 00:42:49,140
of extraterrestrial beings?
719
00:42:50,140 --> 00:42:54,140
Perhaps as our own technology
continues to advance,
720
00:42:54,220 --> 00:42:58,040
we will come closer--
not only to our future
721
00:42:58,140 --> 00:43:01,080
but to a rediscovery of
our past
722
00:43:01,740 --> 00:43:05,760
and a reconnection with
our alien ancestors.
