NARRATOR: Mysterious
stone heads.

GEORGE NOORY: How in the heck

did they make these?

Where did they come from?

And how did they move them?

NARRATOR: Ancient monuments

containing 100-ton blocks.

PHILIP COPPENS: Some of the

stones are of such magnitude,

modern machinery is incapable of

putting them there.

NARRATOR: And solid granite

cut with incredible precision.

GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS: We

ourselves today could not

replicate what our ancestors

allegedly accomplished
with stonemasonry.

NARRATOR: Throughout the

world, there are giant

structures that have baffled

archaeologists.

Could they really have been

constructed using
primitive tools?

Or might they be the product of

alien technology?

ERICH VON DANIKEN:

Extraterrestrials would not have

left without any proof.

They wanted that in the far

future we start to reflect,

have we been visited
by outer space?

NARRATOR: Millions of people

around the world believe we have

been visited in the past by

extraterrestrial beings.

What if it were true?

Did ancient aliens really help

to shape our history?

And if so, might they have a

connection to the world's most

mysterious structures?

On the northwest coast of

France, just south of Brittany,

lies one of the most important

prehistoric sites in Europe.

At the seaside village of

Carnac, over 3,000 megalithic

stones are placed in rows over

two miles long.

The Carnac stones were hewn from

local rock formations and

erected between 4500 to 2500 BC,

at the end of the Stone Age.

They are the largest collection

of standing stones in the world.

DAVID CHILDRESS:

Archaeologists are baffled by

the many megaliths
at Carnac here.

It's clearly a massive

construction project with blocks

of granite weighing 50 to 100,

to even up to 350 tons.

Legends here say that
giants built Carnac.

But you have to wonder, what is

the real purpose of these giant

megaliths, and why would

prehistoric people have moved

all of these massive stones and

placed them in the many

alignments here at Carnac?

MICHAEL CREMO: Thousands

of large stones have been

arranged in very
interesting patterns.

They're arranged in intersecting

lines that form triangles that

could only be visible
from above the earth.

These arrangements of stones may

have been a way of communicating

with extraterrestrial beings.

NARRATOR: The ancient Greek

poet Pindar spoke of a mystical

land called Hyperborea, far to

the north, where the sun shined

24 hours a day.

Legends claim that Apollo

visited Hyperborea, traveling in

his chariot of fire every 20

years.

TSOUKALOS: Apollo would tell

to the Greeks, okay, I'm gonna

go see some other people, I've

got to go and teach them.

And they're like, well, where

are you off to?

And he's like, well, I'm

actually going to a place that's

beyond where the
north wind comes.

It's the land of
the Hyperboreans.

NARRATOR: Although mainstream

archaeologists speculate that

the Carnac stones are most

likely tomb markers, ancient

astronaut theorists believe

these stones are intentionally

laid out in a unique
geometric formation.

VON DANIKEN: Many

speculations existed
since centuries.

And only a few years ago, in

France, they started to

photograph this whole French

Brittany by helicopters.

And when they put the pictures

together, all of a sudden

someone realized, hey, this is

not coincidence.

The distances of the lines are

always the same- 2,860 meters,

or exactly the half of 2,860

meters.

The angles are always the same.

It's Pythagorean triangles.

It's all a gigantic geometrical

pattern from Stone Age, which is

impossible.

Our Stone Age people had no idea

of Pythagoras' triangles.

Pythagoras was about 420 BC.

NARRATOR: Even though the

geometric arrangement of the

Carnac stones predates the

Pythagorean theorem by more than

2,000 years, one
question remains.

Why were the stones arranged in

such a precise pattern?

CHILDRESS: The Carnac Stones

are one of the few things on the

planet that can actually be seen

from space.

And they're a perfect marker for

any kind of aerial vehicle

looking down on the earth.

Many of the tourists who come

here to Carnac claim that they

can actually feel the energy

emanating from these
granite megaliths.

How did these ancient people

know about this energy?

And is it possible that they

were able to use this energy to

even move and erect
these giant stones?

VON DANIKEN: I am of the

opinion that they
were made on purpose.

The extraterrestrials told our

ancestor, do this, and this.

It's not the extraterrestrials

who made the stone lines.

It's the humans who made it, but

by the order of the
extraterrestrials.

NARRATOR: But were the Carnac

stones a signpost for an ancient

astronaut called Apollo as he

flew his spacecraft
high above the land?

CHILDRESS: If the Greek god

Apollo was really some kind of

ancient astronaut, it's possible

that the stones here at Carnac

were a directional finder

pointing the way to the far

north, to the Hyperborea of the

ancient gods.

NARRATOR: Over 1,000 miles

north of Carnac lies

Scandinavia, home to an ancient

people called the Norse.

The Norse were tribal Germanic

people who lived in what is now

known as Sweden, Denmark,

Iceland and Norway.

Norse legends record the

triumphs of great warriors with

advanced weaponry, sophisticated

combat techniques, and

navigational prowess.

Like the Greeks, Norse mythology

includes supernatural beings,

other worlds and powerful gods.

But like the Romans, could the

Norse myths refer not to

different gods, but the same

gods as those depicted by the

ancient Greeks?

CHILDRESS: There are a

number of similarities between

Greek mythology and Norse

mythology, and many of the gods

are, uh, almost identical.

And they do much the same thing.

NARRATOR: Descriptions of the

Viking god Odin- the god of

war, death and knowledge- and

the Greek god Zeus, bear

striking similarities.

JONATHAN YOUNG: Zeus and Odin

are both sky father gods.

They travel through the skies in

chariots because they are akin

to the solar, uh, divinities.

The precursor to many, uh,

religious beliefs
is sun worship.

The ancients knew that life came

from the sun.

So that is a great mystery and

a source of great awe.

COPPENS: What you're getting

there is not just some minor

deity, but you really are

nailing it down to one of the

chief deities.

This is a very
important character.

And so whoever is behind Odin or

Zeus is obviously a person or a

divine entity, which is shared

by these cultures.

And it's clear that whoever

inspired the myth of-of Zeus or

Odin is somehow somebody who had

an extremely important

contribution to make
to both civilizations.

So this entity was definitely

known throughout Europe.

NARRATOR: Could the Norse and

Greek gods really have been the

same extraterrestrial beings?

Did they use the megalithic

stones at Carnac as a

directional marker that could be

seen from high above the earth?

And if so, is it possible that

this site- and other megalithic

structures around the world-

really were built with the help

of otherworldly technology?

Ancient astronaut theorists say

yes, and claim further proof can

be found by examining megalithic

rocks in Bolivia cut with

incredible precision.

NARRATOR: Palm
Springs, California.

Master stonemason and sculptor

Roger Hopkins uses a variety of

advanced tools to cut and shape

hard stones.

Powered implements such as

diamond-tipped wires and

polishers enable him to fashion

works of art out of huge granite

blocks obtained from
nearby quarries.

Yet even with these high-tech

tools, Hopkins cannot replicate

what ancient civilizations

accomplished thousands
of years ago.

Could these advanced engineering

methods be the smoking gun that

proves humans had help
from alien beings?

ROGER HOPKINS: The precision

on some of the work that I've

seen is just incredible.

It's possible to do by hand,

but it'd take an
incredible amount of time.

Plus, you have to have years of

experience to be
able to pull it off.

TSOUKALOS: In my opinion, the

most tangible pieces of evidence

that we have regarding possible

extraterrestrial technology is

when we look at the ancient

stonecutting techniques.

Because, in some instances, we

ourselves today could not

replicate what our ancestors

allegedly accomplished
with stonemasonry.

NARRATOR: Puma Punku is a

large temple complex located on

a high plateau in Bolivia.

Mainstream archaeologists date

the site from
approximately 200 BC.

The people who lived here had

neither a written language nor

the wheel, yet somehow they

built one of the world's most

complex structures.

Ancient alien theorists view

Puma Punku as clear proof of

extraterrestrial influence.

TSOUKALOS: The ruins we find

at Puma Punku are
simply extraordinary.

Puma Punku defies logic.

COPPENS: The interest of Puma

Punku is not so much that the

individual stones sorted

together perfectly but the fact

that the stones, as such, are of

such tremendous design that it

requires concepts of mathematics

which are far beyond anything we

are actually using right now.

Yet somehow in the past,

somebody has made that for a

specific purpose, and in a way

which even computer programs

today would kind of go,

how is this possible?

TSOUKALOS: In the highlands

of Bolivia, Puma Punku.

Some of these blocks are over 40

to 50 tons each.

What can you tell us about this?

HOPKINS: Boy, they... they

had their, uh, stonecutting

abilities, you know, pretty well

fine-tuned for 5,000 years old.

I mean, uh, it's
almost unbelievable.

But the... these cutting planes

that they have on here
are very impressive.

And some of the incise cuts.

See like in-in here, all these

interior cuts, very hard to do.

I mean, it would be difficult

for us- with the...

our equipment- to get that kind

of precision.

TSOUKALOS: Let's
talk a little bit...

HOPKINS: God.

TSOUKALOS: ...about
inside boxes.

HOPKINS: Ooh, I was afraid

you were gonna pull something

like this on me.

That is a hell of
a piece of work.

I mean, if we were to do

something like that today, we'd

use what they have these, uh,

computer-driven CNC
machines which are...

have diamond tips and, uh, you

have a template that, you know,

the computer follows.

And even then, it may not come

out as perfect.

TSOUKALOS: Because, even

though you can tell that

obviously, this
piece broke off...

HOPKINS: Mm-hmm.

TSOUKALOS: ...nowhere in here

can you see any imperfection.

It's like... and by the way,

when you're there, if you go

with your finger over these

edges and you put a little

pressure on your fingertip, you

can cut yourself.

This is how sharp the edges are.

NARRATOR: But where could the

ancient peoples have developed

such technology?

Is it really possible that

extraterrestrial visitors

provided different construction

methods and tools?

MIKE DUNN: When I saw these

blocks, I didn't really think

that they were cut.

The first thing really that I

thought of was this appears very

similar to Frank Lloyd Wright's

textile block system of

construction which he used in

his California houses
in the early 1920s.

Now, what he did was he took

concrete, poured it into molds.

TSOUKALOS: There actually are

ancient Incan legends that

suggest that they had the

capability of
softening the stone.

At Sacsayhuam疣, for example, we

find these gigantic stone

blocks, gigantic stone walls

where it looks as if those

stones were molten, put into

place, and then the
stone hardened again.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that

the precision-cut stones at Puma

Punku are really the product of

extraterrestrial technology?

Perhaps further clues can be

found halfway around the world,

with an ancient civilization

that was found buried
beneath the earth.

NARRATOR: Located more than

500 miles away from the crowded

streets of Istanbul is

Sanliurfa, in
southeastern Turkey.

There, in 1994, on a dusty

hilltop, a local shepherd

noticed the tip of a stone

sticking out of his field.

He began to dig, eventually

unearthing a 19-foot pillar.

Its edges were precise, and

rising from its center was a

relief carving of
a strange animal.

Upon closer examination, it

appeared that the finely

chiseled stone had been

fashioned by talented

stonemasons, working
with advanced tools.

When word of the discovery

reached the scientific

community, one fact became

obvious: a Kurdish shepherd had

stumbled upon what is perhaps

the most astonishing

archaeological discovery in

modern times- a site
known as Gobekli Tepe.

LINDA HOWE: For 13 years, a

German archaeology team has been

meticulously going into a hill.

And they have been doing carbon

dating, as deep as they go.

It has taken them 13 years

to uncover only five percent of

a gigantic civilization.

They know what's
under the ground.

Circles upon circles upon

circles, perfect
circles in stone.

And rising up out of those stone

circles are huge sculpted

columns- 19 feet high,
15 tons per column.

NARRATOR: Test results have

supported the idea that Gobekli

Tepe is nearly 12,000 years old,

almost 7,000 years older than

Mesopotamia's Fertile Crescent,

long heralded as the cradle of

civilization.

HOWE: In Gobekli Tepe, the

oldest advanced site
now on our planet.

We know of no other site that is

this advanced.

And it has now doubled the

history of humanity.

GRAHAM HANCOCK: And right

there is this gigantic site with

huge megalithic
circular structures.

It just stands there, a mystery,

asking us to go figure-
how was this done?

What's the background to this?

We don't know who made them.

They just come out of the

darkness of the last ice age-

where we know nothing- and

enter the stage of history

already fully formed.

And to my mind, this is

indicative of a major forgotten

episode in human history.

NARRATOR: Curiously, after 13

years of digging, archaeologists

investigating the ancient site

have failed to recover a single

stonecutting tool.

Nor have they found any

agricultural implements.

HOWE: How in the world can

you contemplate 19-foot-tall,

perfectly sculpted columns that

are 11,000 to 12,000 years old,

and no tools.

NARRATOR: The mystery of

Gobekli Tepe is further

compounded by the ancient stone

carvings found
throughout the site.

They depict creatures like wild

boars and geese.

ANDREW COLLINS: We see

various types of creatures-

different animals, birds,

insects and even abstract human

forms that seem to come together

to create this very weird

menagerie which has totally

baffled the archaeologists who

have uncovered this site.

Now, what they represent is a

matter of speculation, but it's

my intuition that they may even

represent a... ark in stone.

NARRATOR: Located less than

350 miles from Mount Ararat-

the site many biblical scholars

believe to be the resting place

of Noah's Ark- the animal

carvings of Gobekli Tepe suggest

a time in the region's history

when the indigenous animal

population may have been of a

totally different origin.

But do these carvings actually

provide historical proof of the

great flood that was described

in the Bible?

HANCOCK: Archaeologists are

aware that there are more than

2,000 myths of a-a great flood,

which destroyed an
earlier civilization.

NARRATOR: Some researchers

theorize that the events of a

cataclysmic flood and a story

similar to that told of Noah's

Ark was recorded on the stone

pillars of Gobekli Tepe.

If true, that would push the

date of the great flood back to

the end of the last ice age, far

earlier than the
biblical period.

COLLINS: There is evidence

that this may have ended quite

catastrophically.

There was a lot of things

happening, um, a lot of

migrations, possibly waters

rising up very quickly, uh, a

lot of rapid changes
in lifestyles.

NARRATOR: But another perhaps

even more profound
question remains.

Who built Gobekli Tepe?

For what purpose?

And how did such an ancient site

remain in nearly pristine

condition for more than 10,000

years?

COPPENS: In the case of

Gobekli Tepe, we find that the

site was carefully
placed underneath sand.

This site was buried.

It appears as if somehow the

usage of Gobekli Tepe was no

longer there and that people

moved on but had such a

reverence to this important site

that rather than destroy it,

they put it to peace
by burying it.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that

the people at Gobekli Tepe had

such reverence for the site

because it really was built with

the help of alien technology?

Ancient astronaut theorists say

yes and claim further evidence

that extraterrestrials were

behind the construction of the

world's most mysterious

structures can be found in

Lebanon, with a site that dates

back nearly 9,000 years.

NARRATOR: Eastern Lebanon,

the Bekaa Valley.

Here at this archaeological site

stand the ruins of Heliopolis,

built in the fourth century BC.

by Alexander the
Great to honor Zeus.

But beneath the Corinthian

columns and remnants of both

Greek and Roman architecture lie

the ruins of a site that is

much, much older.

According to archaeologists, it

dates back nearly 9,000 years:

the ancient city of Baalbek,

named after the early Canaanite

deity, Baal.

HANAN CHARAF: Baal is the god

of life, the god of the sky, the

god of the sun.

He was the god that was

venerated on the site of Baalbek

during the Canaanite and the

Phoenician times.

ROBERT MULLINS: And so,

because it was already sacred to

the god Baal, then later the

Greeks and the Romans then would

build temples on
this very same spot.

NARRATOR: Archaeological

surveys have revealed that the

enormous stone foundation that

lies at the base of the site

dates back tens of
thousands of years.

CHARAF: Baalbek, as we know

from the archaeological

evidence, must have existed

during the Neolithic Period,

between 6000 to 8000 years or

even 9000 years BC.

NARRATOR: But even more

significant to ancient astronaut

theorists is their belief that

the colossal stone platform may

once have served as a landing

pad for space travelers.

CHILDRESS: We don't know why

Baalbek was chosen as
this specific site.

Uh, it may well be some kind of

special power place.

But what was originally there

before the Roman temple was this

spaceport platform that was

apparently used for

extraterrestrials coming and

going on planet Earth.

NARRATOR: As evidence,

researchers point to the

gigantic megalithic stones

incorporated into the

foundation, each weighing

between 800 to 1,200 tons and

perfectly fitted together.

COPPENS: This is the real

mystery of Baalbek, how these

stones came to be there, why

they were placed there and

specifically how they were

transported into place, because

some of the stones are of such

magnitude that modern machinery

is incapable of putting them

there, but somehow our ancestors

were able to do this.

TSOUKALOS: Some have

suggested that this stone alone

weighs in excess of 1,200 tons.

How was it moved there?

Because obviously it's situated

on top of these stone rows that

we can find down here, which

means that this stone had to be

lifted and then set on top of

these stones down here.

CHARAF: And because these

stones were gigantic, ancient

people assumed that

extraterrestrial or unknown

forces brought them
to the site itself.

BILL BIRNES: It is one of the

oldest, oldest megalithic sites

on the planet, and it has these

huge stones laid out in a

precise geometrical shape at a

time when the prehistoric people

who would have lived there, who

would have gone to the Bekaa

Valley in Lebanon, would have no

concept of how to move stones of

that nature.

NARRATOR: But if the moving,

hoisting and setting of such

massive stones was so incredibly

difficult, then who or what

placed them there?

And perhaps more importantly:

Why?

COPPENS: We know that the

ancients always went to power

places, and Baalbek
clearly is one of them.

It is a place where the gods

were worshipped, where the gods

were said to be present.

And so when it comes to Baalbek,

this platform was built
there for a reason.

For what purpose it was used is

a question we can't answer at

this moment in time.

But what we do know is that

whatever was happening there had

a great religious significance

to them and was linked with

worshipping deities, deities

which clearly are of an

otherworldly origin.

NARRATOR: Is it possible, as

ancient astronaut theorists

believe, that Baalbek had been

considered a sacred place for

tens of thousands of years

because it was where

extraterrestrial beings first

arrived on Earth?

Perhaps the answer can be found

by examining other megalithic

stones on Easter Island.

NARRATOR: The South
Pacific Ocean.

2,300 miles west of South

America, in one of the most

remote places on Earth, giant

stone figures stand with their

backs to the sea.

Called moai by the native

inhabitants, they are the silent

sentinels of Easter Island.

CHRIS STEVENSON: The moais

are scattered throughout the

island, and they're positioned

on top of-of platforms,
for the most part.

A moai is a... is a stone

sculpture of a
deceased ancestor.

They were once living

individuals who ruled the

society or led the society.

They were chiefs, and then, upon

their death, we believe that

they've become
represented in stone.

NARRATOR: Nearly 900 moai

were carved between the 12th and

18th centuries.

Hewn with stone tools from

volcanic rock, the tallest

stands a towering 33 feet high

and weighs a staggering 75 tons.

STEVENSON: They were probably

even more unique-looking,
uh, in the past.

They may have been painted.

And they also had large white

coral eyes with obsidian pupils.

So it's a very effective way of

kind of telling people, not

verbally but symbolically, that

someone's watching you and you

should toe the line.

You should do what
you're supposed to do.

NARRATOR: The people who

created the moai called

themselves the Rapa Nui, and

mainstream historians believe

their Polynesian ancestors came

to the island in canoes from

across the vast Pacific Ocean

between 700 and 1100 A.D.

But over several centuries, for

reasons that are still unclear,

what was once an island paradise

withered into a treeless desert

stalked by famine, violence and,

some say, cannibalism.

When the first Europeans arrived

in 1722, the Rapa Nui culture

had already been nearly wiped

out, and few could imagine how

such primitive people could have

created the moai.

NOORY: How in the heck
did they make these?

Where did they come from?

And how did they move them?

Nobody has the answer.

NARRATOR: Modern scientists

have tried and so far have

failed to duplicate the feats of

the ancient Rapa Nui.

In 1987, anthropologist Charles

Love used rollers to move a

nine-ton moai replica at Western

Wyoming Community College.

Ready? On three.

One, two, three.

Come on. Come on.

Good!

Thank you. Whoa.

Only able to budge it
about half an inch.

NARRATOR: Other researchers

have tried pulling
moai with sleds.

But there is a unique problem

with the idea of moving moai

with sleds or rollers.

CHARLES LOVE: When you go to

Easter Island, you don't get the

impression they had enough wood

to have rollers.

And, in fact, in the 1700s, the

first four expeditions to Easter

Island never really saw a tree.

And so that's the real mystery

of Easter Island.

How can you move a multi-ton

statue if you have no
trees for rollers?

NARRATOR: According to the

oral history of the Rapa Nui,

the moai were moved in
a very unusual way.

LOVE: They all reply

basically the same thing.

The moai walked to the ahu, and

that's the only explanation
that they give.

NARRATOR: But who or what had

the power to make multi-ton moai

appear to walk to their ahu, or

stone platforms?

In 1919, British archaeologist

Katherine Routledge, who lived

on Easter Island for a year,

recorded the legends and

testimony of an old woman who

said the moai were moved with a

mystical energy called mana.

And, according to the oral

histories of the Rapa Nui, mana

came from the gods.

TSOUKALOS: Mana was a direct

gift of the gods given to the

Easter Islanders.

Was this mana really a type of

magical force?

Of course not.

It was some type of

misunderstood technology, some

type of a device, an

extraterrestrial tool with which

you could move those massive

Easter Island heads
rather easily.

NARRATOR: Did early

inhabitants of Easter Island

really know how to unlock the

secrets of gravity using mana?

And, if so, where might such

power over the physical world

have come from?

Might these astounding

abilities, forever lost to time,

have been made possible by

extraterrestrial visitors?

Perhaps further evidence can be

found with a mysterious

structure in southern Florida

built from 30-ton coral blocks.

NARRATOR: Homestead, Florida,

30 miles south of Miami.

This former agricultural town is

home to one of the most

mysterious structures in North

America, a stone garden made of

sculpted blocks of ancient

coral, some weighing 30 tons.

It's called the Coral Castle.

Spread over several acres, the

complex formations and intricate

designs of the stone walls and

sculptures marvel tourists.

But unlike other great

structures around the world,

this site is not ancient.

CHILDRESS: Coral Castle in

Florida is often said to be, uh,

the only modern megalithic

structure ever built.

NARRATOR: In 1923, Ed

Leedskalnin, a Latvian

immigrant, began building what

he originally called
Rock Gate Park.

But believe it or not,

Leedskalnin insisted that he was

not using modern machinery to

build the impressive structure.

He also claimed that
he was working alone.

RUSTY McCLURE: Well, Ed was a

hermit and Ed was a loner and he

was a foreigner and he was a

recluse and a scientist.

NOORY: He was in love with a

woman, and he wanted to build

this facility in memory of her.

And he waited for her to come

from Europe, and he waited and

he waited, and she never did.

But the big question is, is how

did this frail little man move

these thousands of pounds of

block by himself.

NARRATOR: Barely over five

feet tall and weighing just

100 pounds, Leedskalnin is said

to have carved, moved and

hoisted huge multi-ton stones

using only a makeshift tripod.

McCLURE: He has a tripod,

three pieces of Florida Pine

and he's got some chains, and

he's now gonna lift 30 tons,

ten tons of rock- can't be done.

No one could do that.

NOORY: He would work at

night- he wouldn't let
anybody watch him.

And he said that he knew the

secrets of the pyramids.

NARRATOR: But what exactly

was Leedskalnin referring to?

Had he rediscovered the same

advanced technology used to

build megalithic structures like

Carnac and Gobekli Tepe?

McCLURE: Ed over and over

again would tell people that he

knew the secrets that helped the

Egyptians build the pyramids.

What was he talking about?

Why was he constantly harking

back to the Egyptians?

We don't know.

NARRATOR: Leedskalnin

continued work on the Coral

Castle until his death in 1951.

In the journals he left behind,

the builder explained that he

had discovered the ancient

secret of transforming stones

into weightless objects.

McCLURE: Ed says this in his

pamphlet, Magnetic Current, that

real gravity is
actually real magnet.

So if you reverse the magnet

forces with a force of some kind

of electromagnetic radio,

perhaps, frequency, you can then

make these rocks not as heavy as

they seem otherwise and

therefore you can lift them.

NARRATOR: But if Leedskalnin

had developed a device that

could modify gravity,
what was his secret?

Some suggest the answer lies in

a mysterious black box that can

be seen in various photographs,

a box that has
since disappeared.

McCLURE: The black box

sitting on top is the element

that no one has ever seen except

in those pictures, and
no one has today.

We believe that black box has

something to do with how he got

these massive, heavy, brittle

pieces of rock up in the air in

a way that no one can duplicate.

NOORY: He had some kind of

magnetic machine down in one of

his other house areas that has

since been dismantled, but it

had a revolving ability.

He may have been having
that thing spin.

The whole place could have been

antigravity.

He probably just pushed
these into place.

SARA SEAGER: Levitation is

the only way that I know of to

hold up very heavy objects.

Very, very high-speed trains are

magnetically levitated.

These high-speed trains don't

have wheels that
touch any tracks.

They're literally suspended

above the track using
magnetic forces.

JOHN BRANDENBURG: We can

speculate at this time that

there are techniques for using

electromagnetism to
nullify gravity.

Uh, this was the great
quest of Einstein.

The motivation for such

technology is, of course, to

lift a large spaceship out into

space and across space.

All right.

(chuckles)

NARRATOR: Could it be that Ed

Leedskalnin utilized antigravity

to levitate and distribute the

enormous rocks used to
build Coral Castle?

If so, where did this incredible

knowledge come from?

COPPENS: And he died, taking

this secret to his grave.

The question is, did he invent

it, or did he himself somehow

inherit it or learn it from a

tradition or maybe from some

visitor from another realm?

McCLURE: The only thing that

is explainable is that someone

with a higher form of physics

and understanding of gravity has

created the ability of one

person to lift stones that

modern technology could not do,

the way he did it.

It had to come from a different

place in this galaxy.

TSOUKALOS: The fact that one

guy created these massive

structures is
absolutely fascinating.

Am I suggesting that he did this

with extraterrestrial
technology?

No, because I don't know.

Am I excluding that possibility?

No.

NARRATOR: If aliens visited

Earth in ancient times, perhaps

the world's mysterious stone

structures can provide clues not

only to mankind's past
but to its future.

VON DANIKEN: I think that

extraterrestrials would not have

left our solar system some

thousands of years ago
without any proof.

They wanted that in the far

future we start to reflect,

"Have we been visited
by outer space?"

NARRATOR: Could additional

evidence still lie hidden right

before our eyes?

Evidence that, when found, will

prove once and for all that we

are not alone?
