Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,986 --> 00:00:04,076
An ancient figurine
2
00:00:04,230 --> 00:00:06,730
Of a modern-day airplane.
3
00:00:06,823 --> 00:00:10,916
A primitive statue
of a man in a spacesuit.
4
00:00:11,070 --> 00:00:13,403
Mysterious crystal Skulls
5
00:00:13,496 --> 00:00:17,332
Whose origins are entirely
unknown.
6
00:00:17,425 --> 00:00:19,329
For more than a decade on
ancient aliens, we've traveled
7
00:00:19,353 --> 00:00:22,187
The globe and investigated
strange objects
8
00:00:22,338 --> 00:00:26,003
Found on every continent
on earth.
9
00:00:26,027 --> 00:00:27,946
I'm counting down
what I consider
10
00:00:28,010 --> 00:00:31,420
To be the top ten
alien artifacts.
11
00:00:31,515 --> 00:00:33,865
Artifacts that, in my opinion,
12
00:00:34,017 --> 00:00:36,868
Provide strong evidence
that in the distant past,
13
00:00:37,020 --> 00:00:40,688
Extraterrestrials walked
among us.
14
00:00:48,941 --> 00:00:52,125
Ancient artifacts offer us
a fascinating glimpse
15
00:00:52,277 --> 00:00:55,128
Of how our ancestors lived.
16
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,631
And for ancient astronaut
theorists like me,
17
00:00:57,783 --> 00:01:00,392
Some artifacts provide
critical evidence
18
00:01:00,618 --> 00:01:03,619
To support the notion that
extraterrestrials
19
00:01:03,713 --> 00:01:06,472
Visited earth
in the remote past.
20
00:01:06,567 --> 00:01:10,569
One compelling example is
a group of precisely-carved
21
00:01:10,719 --> 00:01:14,221
Objects that are not only
surrounded in controversy,
22
00:01:14,316 --> 00:01:18,701
But may possess a technology far
more advanced than our own.
23
00:01:19,896 --> 00:01:22,581
Number ten on my countdown
24
00:01:22,807 --> 00:01:26,335
The crystal Skulls.
25
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,406
- Lubaantun, Belize.
- Central America.
26
00:01:37,430 --> 00:01:41,319
Here, in the jungles
of the Yucatán Peninsula,
27
00:01:41,343 --> 00:01:44,343
Lie the ruins of an ancient
pre-Colombian city that
28
00:01:44,496 --> 00:01:47,918
Thrived in
the eighth century ad.
29
00:01:47,942 --> 00:01:51,168
In 1924,
30
00:01:51,260 --> 00:01:53,353
Explorer Frederick Albert
Mitchell-Hedges
31
00:01:53,447 --> 00:01:55,004
And his daughter Anna
32
00:01:55,097 --> 00:01:59,408
Discovered a human-sized Skull
made of clear quartz crystal.
33
00:02:01,513 --> 00:02:04,013
Mitchell-Hedges was told by
the Mayans that
34
00:02:04,106 --> 00:02:07,126
His Skull was over
3,600 years old.
35
00:02:07,352 --> 00:02:09,794
This is fascinating,
because this would pre-date
36
00:02:10,021 --> 00:02:12,609
Mayan civilization.
37
00:02:12,633 --> 00:02:14,540
Mitchell-Hedges and his daughter
38
00:02:14,693 --> 00:02:16,337
Kept the Skull
under lock and key
39
00:02:16,361 --> 00:02:17,877
For almost four decades
40
00:02:18,030 --> 00:02:20,806
Before allowing it
to be studied.
41
00:02:20,956 --> 00:02:23,141
When it comes to the
Mitchell-Hedges crystal Skull,
42
00:02:23,293 --> 00:02:26,719
It has been analyzed on
a number of occasions.
43
00:02:26,813 --> 00:02:30,460
Frank Dorland in the 1960s
did it as a private individual.
44
00:02:30,484 --> 00:02:33,877
Hewlett-Packard did it as well,
and the british museum did
45
00:02:33,969 --> 00:02:36,299
A very short analysis
in 1980 as well.
46
00:02:36,323 --> 00:02:39,377
So this Skull has been
subjected to
47
00:02:39,401 --> 00:02:42,735
A number of detailed
scientific analyses.
48
00:02:42,888 --> 00:02:46,331
In all of those occasions,
what was found was that it was
49
00:02:46,483 --> 00:02:51,561
Almost impossible for
a human being to make this.
50
00:02:51,655 --> 00:02:53,004
The Mitchell-Hedges Skull
51
00:02:53,231 --> 00:02:55,064
Was milled or worked
52
00:02:55,158 --> 00:02:58,659
In a way that went
counterclockwise
53
00:02:58,753 --> 00:03:01,346
To the creation of the crystal.
54
00:03:01,573 --> 00:03:04,493
Crystal grows in a certain
direction.
55
00:03:04,518 --> 00:03:07,686
And if you don't mill
or work the crystal
56
00:03:07,913 --> 00:03:10,931
In that particular direction,
it'll shatter.
57
00:03:11,082 --> 00:03:13,025
So how was it done?
58
00:03:13,175 --> 00:03:16,436
Quartz crystal is
extremely hard.
59
00:03:16,587 --> 00:03:20,014
And almost any object
that's made out of
60
00:03:20,108 --> 00:03:23,034
Carved quartz crystal
would probably
61
00:03:23,262 --> 00:03:27,205
Have to be created
using power tools.
62
00:03:29,951 --> 00:03:32,096
Although hundreds of people
have claimed to be
63
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,356
In possession of
ancient crystal Skulls,
64
00:03:34,381 --> 00:03:38,383
A curious legend can be found
in multiple cultures
65
00:03:38,534 --> 00:03:41,795
That says there are exactly
13 crystal Skulls
66
00:03:41,889 --> 00:03:47,466
Located around the planet that
are of otherworldly origin.
67
00:03:47,561 --> 00:03:50,120
These include the synergy Skull,
68
00:03:50,212 --> 00:03:51,875
Discovered in the
Melanesian Islands
69
00:03:51,899 --> 00:03:53,807
Of the Soufth Pacific,
70
00:03:53,901 --> 00:03:57,401
The Amar Skull of Tiibet,
71
00:03:57,628 --> 00:04:00,145
The Einstein Skull,
found in Mexico,
72
00:04:00,241 --> 00:04:02,907
And the Mitchell-Hedges Skull.
73
00:04:03,058 --> 00:04:07,913
Researchers suggest that
not only were these 13 Skulls
74
00:04:08,063 --> 00:04:10,634
Constructed using
advanced technology,
75
00:04:10,658 --> 00:04:13,418
But that they may contain
ancient knowledge,
76
00:04:13,645 --> 00:04:18,475
Hidden from mankind
for thousands of years.
77
00:04:18,500 --> 00:04:20,925
What we know as a fact
is that crystal is
78
00:04:21,076 --> 00:04:22,819
Able to store information.
79
00:04:22,911 --> 00:04:25,983
So what we need to
ask ourselves is whether
80
00:04:26,007 --> 00:04:28,100
Crystal Skulls were
made out of crystal
81
00:04:28,326 --> 00:04:32,661
Because our ancestors wanted
to put information in them.
82
00:04:32,755 --> 00:04:35,584
While we might not have a means
of extracting it,
83
00:04:35,608 --> 00:04:39,519
I think we really require it
for ourselves,
84
00:04:39,612 --> 00:04:43,689
To try and make an effort to see
what kind of information might
85
00:04:43,841 --> 00:04:48,120
Be present within these
crystal Skulls.
86
00:04:48,346 --> 00:04:51,197
The moment you lay eyes
on a crystal Skull,
87
00:04:51,292 --> 00:04:54,518
You know you're looKing
at something extraordinary.
88
00:04:54,610 --> 00:04:56,939
But the next artifact
on my countdown
89
00:04:56,963 --> 00:05:00,113
Could be described
as a simple wooden toy.
90
00:05:00,208 --> 00:05:03,543
That is, until you take
a closer look, and see that
91
00:05:03,694 --> 00:05:07,863
This bird-shaped object is
more like a modern-day glider.
92
00:05:09,033 --> 00:05:12,601
The Saqqara Bird.
93
00:05:16,649 --> 00:05:18,298
Saqqara, Egypt.
94
00:05:18,393 --> 00:05:22,970
French archeologists digging at
the step pyramid of King djoser
95
00:05:23,064 --> 00:05:26,973
Unearth a tomb over
2,000 years old.
96
00:05:27,069 --> 00:05:29,639
In it they find
a small wooden model
97
00:05:29,663 --> 00:05:33,216
Of what appears to be a bird
lying beside a papyrus
98
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,742
Bearing the inscription,
"I want to fly."
99
00:05:36,894 --> 00:05:40,504
The artifact was later
sent to the Cairo Museum,
100
00:05:40,656 --> 00:05:42,651
Where authorities placed it
alongside
101
00:05:42,675 --> 00:05:44,843
Several other bird figurines.
102
00:05:45,069 --> 00:05:48,680
But the Saqqara bird
was noticeably different.
103
00:05:48,906 --> 00:05:51,091
It's interesting,
because on one hand,
104
00:05:51,242 --> 00:05:55,095
Clearly, it should look like
a bird, because it has eyes
105
00:05:55,247 --> 00:05:58,023
And has a typical nose
of a bird.
106
00:05:58,250 --> 00:06:03,252
On the other hand, the wings
are clearly not bird wings.
107
00:06:03,346 --> 00:06:05,422
To the middle of the rump,
108
00:06:05,514 --> 00:06:08,699
You'll see this wing
a bit thicker.
109
00:06:08,927 --> 00:06:14,091
In this region, the lift-up
is the highest.
110
00:06:14,115 --> 00:06:19,189
The whole thing becomes thinner
to the end of the wings,
111
00:06:19,213 --> 00:06:23,382
And those wings
are modeled down.
112
00:06:23,608 --> 00:06:28,127
And this is a very modern
aerodynamic design.
113
00:06:28,221 --> 00:06:32,298
Then the other point is birds
have no rudders, because a bird
114
00:06:32,393 --> 00:06:36,302
Doesn't need a rudder, because
of its aerodynamic architecture.
115
00:06:36,396 --> 00:06:42,141
And so there is the idea they
are not representing birds,
116
00:06:42,293 --> 00:06:44,735
But flying machines,
or aircraft.
117
00:06:44,963 --> 00:06:48,130
Aircraft?
118
00:06:48,223 --> 00:06:50,574
Could the Saqqara bird
reveal that
119
00:06:50,802 --> 00:06:55,321
The ancient Egyptians possessed
the power of flight?
120
00:06:55,415 --> 00:06:59,896
To find the answer, in 2006,
aviation and aerodynamics
121
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:02,569
Expert Simon Sanderson
built a scale model
122
00:07:02,663 --> 00:07:04,146
Of the Saqqara bird,
123
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,500
Five times larger
than the original,
124
00:07:07,593 --> 00:07:10,262
And tested its aerodynamic
properties in a wind tunnel.
125
00:07:13,841 --> 00:07:16,060
We're running at a constant
speed, slowly increasing
126
00:07:16,084 --> 00:07:17,747
The angle of attack
and then measuring
127
00:07:17,771 --> 00:07:20,490
The forces which it's producing.
128
00:07:20,514 --> 00:07:24,684
That way we can learn about its
flight characteristics.
129
00:07:24,836 --> 00:07:28,112
At ten degrees, we're producing
four times weight and lift.
130
00:07:28,339 --> 00:07:29,500
So it actually would be
flying now.
131
00:07:29,524 --> 00:07:31,341
- Yeah.
- That's good.
132
00:07:31,434 --> 00:07:34,452
Tests show the Saqqara bird is
133
00:07:34,603 --> 00:07:39,014
A highly-developed glider.
134
00:07:39,108 --> 00:07:44,036
And this is a design
we use today.
135
00:07:44,189 --> 00:07:47,350
But if the Saqqara bird
is capable of flight,
136
00:07:47,375 --> 00:07:51,136
Where would ancient Egyptians
have acquired such technology?
137
00:07:51,362 --> 00:07:53,949
I think that people
in ancient times
138
00:07:53,973 --> 00:07:57,028
Were visited by beings
coming not from this earth.
139
00:07:57,052 --> 00:08:01,790
And they gave us culture
and scientific technologies
140
00:08:01,814 --> 00:08:05,800
To improve our life on earth,
141
00:08:05,894 --> 00:08:09,571
Coming from the primitive
to a higher-developed culture.
142
00:08:14,552 --> 00:08:18,555
The next artifacts on my list
might be microscopic in size,
143
00:08:18,648 --> 00:08:21,644
But they're enormously
significant.
144
00:08:21,668 --> 00:08:24,836
They appear to be advanced
nanotechnology,
145
00:08:25,062 --> 00:08:27,564
And they were found
so deep beneath the earth
146
00:08:27,656 --> 00:08:29,415
That geologists estimate them
147
00:08:29,509 --> 00:08:31,896
To be thousands of years old.
148
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,678
We're potentially looKing at
actual remnants
149
00:08:34,905 --> 00:08:36,681
Of alien technology.
150
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,403
And that's why number eight
on my countdown
151
00:08:40,427 --> 00:08:43,020
Is the Russian nanotubes.
152
00:08:48,586 --> 00:08:53,250
Eastern Russia, 1991.
153
00:08:53,274 --> 00:08:56,534
Geologists lead an expedition
into the mineral-rich
154
00:08:56,686 --> 00:09:01,518
Ural mountains in hopes
of locating gold deposits.
155
00:09:01,542 --> 00:09:05,263
For decades, people hiKing
in this area of the urals
156
00:09:05,287 --> 00:09:09,438
Near the Kozhim, Naroda
and Balbany Rivers,
157
00:09:09,532 --> 00:09:12,107
Have reported witnessing
unidentified craft
158
00:09:12,201 --> 00:09:13,961
And strange anomalies
in the sky.
159
00:09:17,615 --> 00:09:20,966
On this occasion, however,
the geological team encounters
160
00:09:21,061 --> 00:09:25,875
Something unexpected not above
the earth, but below it.
161
00:09:25,899 --> 00:09:30,475
While excavating at depths
of over 30 feet,
162
00:09:30,571 --> 00:09:35,907
They discover a scattering
of tiny metal coils and springs.
163
00:09:36,134 --> 00:09:38,221
They discovered
very unusual objects
164
00:09:38,245 --> 00:09:40,653
That were tiny springs
165
00:09:40,746 --> 00:09:43,914
That were always somehow curled
towards the left side.
166
00:09:45,659 --> 00:09:49,254
Most of them could not be seen
unless you use the microscope.
167
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,664
Just a few were maybe
a few millimeters in size.
168
00:09:52,759 --> 00:09:54,408
That soil wasn't touched
169
00:09:54,501 --> 00:09:58,816
For hundreds of thousands
or more years.
170
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,600
The area where it was found
was probably
171
00:10:01,750 --> 00:10:04,677
Tens of kilometers around.
172
00:10:04,770 --> 00:10:09,441
It's as if something exploded
thousands of years ago,
173
00:10:09,668 --> 00:10:12,277
And the fragments were lying
all over the place.
174
00:10:14,947 --> 00:10:18,336
The metal fragments were sent
to the Russian academy
175
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,453
Of sciences in st. Petersburg
for analysis.
176
00:10:22,605 --> 00:10:23,932
They found thousands
of these things.
177
00:10:23,956 --> 00:10:26,365
They have to look at them
through microscopes.
178
00:10:26,518 --> 00:10:30,347
Some of them are just one ten
thousandth of an inch in size.
179
00:10:30,371 --> 00:10:35,133
They're all kinds of spirals
and tiny machined bits.
180
00:10:35,283 --> 00:10:37,614
When they look at it,
they seem to be exactly like
181
00:10:37,638 --> 00:10:40,546
The kind of tiny nanoparticles
182
00:10:40,698 --> 00:10:45,028
And machine bits that
we are creating today.
183
00:10:45,052 --> 00:10:47,220
Testing revealed that
the fragments were composed
184
00:10:47,313 --> 00:10:52,484
Of rare metals, and appear
to have been manufactured.
185
00:10:52,711 --> 00:10:54,705
But based on the depth
at which they were found,
186
00:10:54,729 --> 00:10:57,062
Geologists estimate
they would date back
187
00:10:57,215 --> 00:11:01,067
Tens of thousands of years.
188
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,412
So what could explain this
seemingly impossible discovery?
189
00:11:07,333 --> 00:11:10,576
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest clues may be found
190
00:11:10,671 --> 00:11:14,057
By examining the materials that
make up the nanospirals,
191
00:11:14,081 --> 00:11:18,658
Like tungsten and molybdenum...
Elements commonly used
192
00:11:18,753 --> 00:11:21,565
In NASA spacecraft.
193
00:11:21,588 --> 00:11:24,740
Molybdenum is an additive that
we use to put in steel
194
00:11:24,833 --> 00:11:27,259
To make steel have
various properties.
195
00:11:27,412 --> 00:11:30,171
And it's used in
manufacturing aircraft.
196
00:11:30,264 --> 00:11:35,084
Could it be, as ancient
astronaut theorists speculate,
197
00:11:35,177 --> 00:11:37,177
That the nanospirals
have come from
198
00:11:37,272 --> 00:11:39,447
An extraterrestrial craft?
199
00:11:41,927 --> 00:11:45,945
Ural mountains are a very
interesting space
200
00:11:46,096 --> 00:11:49,927
In the paranormal history
of Russia.
201
00:11:49,951 --> 00:11:53,544
And I've studied a lot because
there have always been
202
00:11:53,772 --> 00:11:57,623
Incredible ufo sightings
in the ural mountains.
203
00:11:57,775 --> 00:12:01,626
So, is this a debris field
from a crashed
204
00:12:01,779 --> 00:12:05,222
Extraterrestrial craft
in the ural mountains?
205
00:12:05,450 --> 00:12:08,611
There could be crash sites
all over the world
206
00:12:08,635 --> 00:12:11,145
That are hundreds
of thousands of years old.
207
00:12:19,740 --> 00:12:21,798
Oftentimes, artifacts
that support
208
00:12:21,890 --> 00:12:23,408
The ancient astronaut theory
209
00:12:23,558 --> 00:12:26,463
Are hiding in plain sight.
210
00:12:26,488 --> 00:12:29,322
For example, there's an
Egyptian temple carving
211
00:12:29,474 --> 00:12:31,469
That some scholars believe
is a representation of a snake
212
00:12:31,493 --> 00:12:33,250
And a lotus flower.
213
00:12:33,477 --> 00:12:36,139
But in my opinion,
what you're looKing at is
214
00:12:36,163 --> 00:12:38,475
The depiction
of modern technology.
215
00:12:38,500 --> 00:12:43,576
Number seven on my countdown
of alien artifacts,
216
00:12:43,671 --> 00:12:46,096
The dendera light bulb.
217
00:12:52,938 --> 00:12:55,250
Dendera, Egypt.
218
00:12:55,274 --> 00:12:58,926
370 miles south
of the Giza Plateau
219
00:12:59,019 --> 00:13:01,446
Stands the Hathor Temple.
220
00:13:01,673 --> 00:13:04,259
The narrow passageways
of this more than
221
00:13:04,283 --> 00:13:09,264
2,000-year-old monument
are lined with curious images,
222
00:13:09,288 --> 00:13:11,772
And one that is
of particular interest
223
00:13:11,865 --> 00:13:14,793
To ancient astronaut theorists.
224
00:13:14,943 --> 00:13:17,440
Underneath this structure
is the so-called
225
00:13:17,463 --> 00:13:21,298
Lotus flower of dendera.
226
00:13:21,450 --> 00:13:24,802
And there are not just a few
inside the crypt,
227
00:13:24,953 --> 00:13:28,213
But they're, in fact, also
on the outside wall on top.
228
00:13:28,365 --> 00:13:30,860
That's something that's
often not discussed.
229
00:13:30,884 --> 00:13:32,309
So what are we looKing at here?
230
00:13:32,537 --> 00:13:38,536
Egyptology suggests that
this bulb-like thing,
231
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:43,562
It essentially is the aroma
of the lotus flower,
232
00:13:43,657 --> 00:13:47,658
And that the snake in the middle
illustrates fertility.
233
00:13:47,809 --> 00:13:50,403
What's often
not discussed is that
234
00:13:50,554 --> 00:13:54,999
The surrounding hieroglyphics...
'cause you have monkey gods
235
00:13:55,150 --> 00:13:58,076
Standing around with
sharp knives.
236
00:13:58,229 --> 00:14:00,482
It indicates danger, death.
237
00:14:00,506 --> 00:14:03,152
And there are textual references
238
00:14:03,176 --> 00:14:08,254
That say that this has something
to do with a bringer of light.
239
00:14:08,347 --> 00:14:12,258
Why would there be descriptions
of bringers of light?
240
00:14:12,409 --> 00:14:15,168
Egyptologists maintain
that it actually portrays
241
00:14:15,263 --> 00:14:16,855
The moment of creation.
242
00:14:17,005 --> 00:14:20,482
But it definitely resembles
a lightbulb or a lamp.
243
00:14:22,754 --> 00:14:24,841
Here is a replica of the bulb
that's shown
244
00:14:24,865 --> 00:14:27,606
In the dendera reliefs in Egypt.
245
00:14:27,701 --> 00:14:30,421
What's interesting about
this bulb is the fact that
246
00:14:30,445 --> 00:14:33,090
On the wall relief,
we see the bulb is actually
247
00:14:33,114 --> 00:14:37,040
Plugged into what appears to be
a power source.
248
00:14:37,192 --> 00:14:40,119
So what we have here is
a bulb, which very easily
249
00:14:40,270 --> 00:14:42,173
Could have been used
by the Egyptians to light
250
00:14:42,197 --> 00:14:44,381
The deep recesses
of tombs and crypts.
251
00:14:44,609 --> 00:14:46,717
How did the ancient Egyptians
252
00:14:46,869 --> 00:14:50,129
Light the insides
of their structures?
253
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,634
Because some structures, not
only are they deep underground,
254
00:14:54,727 --> 00:14:56,947
But there's different corners,
and different shafts
255
00:14:56,971 --> 00:14:59,563
And corridors,
sometimes on multiple levels.
256
00:14:59,715 --> 00:15:04,235
And some of these places
are filled with hieroglyphics.
257
00:15:04,461 --> 00:15:06,624
The extraterrestrials
did not let these people
258
00:15:06,648 --> 00:15:07,739
Work in the dark.
259
00:15:07,966 --> 00:15:10,961
Of course they provided
lighting sources.
260
00:15:10,985 --> 00:15:15,580
And then that was also
put in stone.
261
00:15:15,730 --> 00:15:18,565
Because otherwise,
nobody would believe
262
00:15:18,659 --> 00:15:23,495
That truth in the future.
263
00:15:23,648 --> 00:15:27,570
I've read the creation stories
of countless ancient cultures,
264
00:15:27,594 --> 00:15:29,985
And in nearly every one of them,
265
00:15:30,078 --> 00:15:32,908
The gods came down from the sky,
266
00:15:32,932 --> 00:15:35,577
Usually in some type
of flying craft,
267
00:15:35,601 --> 00:15:38,269
Surrounded by smoke and fire.
268
00:15:38,421 --> 00:15:40,415
Now, to me, these are
nothing else
269
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,941
But extraterrestrial encounters.
270
00:15:43,091 --> 00:15:45,610
And if you want further proof,
just take a look
271
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,926
At how the ancient people
of Japan depicted their gods.
272
00:15:49,950 --> 00:15:54,192
Number six on my
alien artifacts countdown:
273
00:15:54,287 --> 00:15:55,452
The Dogu Statues.
274
00:15:59,683 --> 00:16:02,460
On the east asian
islands of Japan,
275
00:16:02,610 --> 00:16:05,520
Remnants of the ancient world
can still be found in the midst
276
00:16:05,614 --> 00:16:08,948
Of a modern, hi-tech society.
277
00:16:09,043 --> 00:16:14,212
And the most incredible are not
the opulent palaces and shrines,
278
00:16:14,307 --> 00:16:17,216
But a collection of extremely
ancient clay vessels
279
00:16:17,309 --> 00:16:19,719
And figurines,
280
00:16:19,870 --> 00:16:23,648
Some of which date back
more than 12,000 years.
281
00:16:23,798 --> 00:16:27,467
They are credited to
a people called the jomon.
282
00:16:27,562 --> 00:16:32,375
The earliest culture that we can
identify in Japan is the jomon,
283
00:16:32,399 --> 00:16:36,046
Which is originally a stone age
culture running roughly
284
00:16:36,070 --> 00:16:41,832
From 10,000 bce to 300 bce.
285
00:16:41,984 --> 00:16:45,669
It is a culture that we don't
know an awful lot about,
286
00:16:45,897 --> 00:16:47,224
Because they had no
writing system.
287
00:16:47,248 --> 00:16:50,485
All we have is artifacts.
288
00:16:50,509 --> 00:16:52,400
The little
that we do know about the jomon
289
00:16:52,495 --> 00:16:55,178
Comes from
archaeological evidence.
290
00:16:55,405 --> 00:16:59,995
And one of the most
representative artifacts
291
00:17:00,019 --> 00:17:03,687
That is tied to the jomon
is the dogu statue.
292
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,694
Approximately 15,000
dogu figurines,
293
00:17:10,846 --> 00:17:13,271
Resembling strange
humanoid beings,
294
00:17:13,423 --> 00:17:16,200
Have been found at various
jomon sites in Japan.
295
00:17:18,704 --> 00:17:21,372
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest these figurines
296
00:17:21,523 --> 00:17:24,616
Represent the kami,
a group of beings
297
00:17:24,769 --> 00:17:27,027
The Japanese believe
descended to this world
298
00:17:27,121 --> 00:17:30,105
In the ancient past.
299
00:17:30,199 --> 00:17:33,384
Shintoism is the primary
religion of Japan,
300
00:17:33,611 --> 00:17:36,127
And they worship
what they call the kami,
301
00:17:36,221 --> 00:17:39,798
Which are these celestial beings
that are able to inhabit
302
00:17:39,951 --> 00:17:42,613
Basically anything,
from a human being to an animal,
303
00:17:42,636 --> 00:17:46,305
And even inanimate objects.
304
00:17:46,457 --> 00:17:48,900
Then they also describe them
as having come down
305
00:17:49,126 --> 00:17:51,644
From their celestial palace
in the sky.
306
00:17:51,738 --> 00:17:54,572
And these figurines look like
these humanoid beings
307
00:17:54,722 --> 00:17:57,982
That are in some type
of space suits.
308
00:17:58,077 --> 00:18:00,059
There are thousands
of these statuettes
309
00:18:00,153 --> 00:18:01,298
That have been recovered,
310
00:18:01,321 --> 00:18:04,468
And these figures have
goggle-type eyes,
311
00:18:04,491 --> 00:18:07,250
And they have rivets
all over their body,
312
00:18:07,403 --> 00:18:09,455
Indicating that they're wearing
some kind of a space suit
313
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,589
Or technological armor.
314
00:18:12,740 --> 00:18:17,239
So you have to ask
yourself, were these statues
315
00:18:17,262 --> 00:18:21,432
Sky beings who came
and directed the Japanese
316
00:18:21,584 --> 00:18:24,268
To have their civilization
and culture,
317
00:18:24,420 --> 00:18:28,605
And that ultimately these sky
gods are their ancestors?
318
00:18:31,336 --> 00:18:34,612
As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,
319
00:18:34,762 --> 00:18:38,594
The dogu figures were not
inspired by the imagination,
320
00:18:38,617 --> 00:18:42,005
But depict very real visitors
that the people of Japan
321
00:18:42,028 --> 00:18:44,864
Encountered
thousands of years ago,
322
00:18:45,016 --> 00:18:49,085
And provide a compelling record
of extraterrestrial contact.
323
00:18:57,286 --> 00:18:59,452
We're coming up on the halfway
mark in my countdown
324
00:18:59,547 --> 00:19:02,472
Of the top ten alien artifacts,
325
00:19:02,700 --> 00:19:06,125
And this next object
is truly remarkable.
326
00:19:06,220 --> 00:19:09,296
It's an ancient figurine
that was discovered in Mexico,
327
00:19:09,390 --> 00:19:13,558
But to me, it clearly depicts
a man in a modern flight suit.
328
00:19:13,653 --> 00:19:18,040
The number-five artifact
in my top ten countdown:
329
00:19:18,065 --> 00:19:19,990
The Rocket Man of La Venta.
330
00:19:23,328 --> 00:19:25,715
Throughout the world,
ancient illustrations
331
00:19:25,740 --> 00:19:28,147
And statues can be found
that depict figures
332
00:19:28,241 --> 00:19:30,075
Dressed in strange attire
333
00:19:30,228 --> 00:19:32,221
That, as far as ancient
astronaut theorists
334
00:19:32,246 --> 00:19:34,488
Are concerned,
is eerily reminiscent
335
00:19:34,582 --> 00:19:37,082
Of modern-day space suits.
336
00:19:37,176 --> 00:19:41,237
Examples include
cave art in Italy, australia,
337
00:19:41,329 --> 00:19:44,347
And the American southwest,
338
00:19:44,500 --> 00:19:47,092
As well as sculptures,
like the statue of pachamama
339
00:19:47,244 --> 00:19:50,240
In tiahuanaco, bolivia,
340
00:19:50,263 --> 00:19:54,076
Depictions of the mayan god
kukulkan in Mexico,
341
00:19:54,101 --> 00:19:58,028
Curious figures carved into
the hoysaleswara temple
342
00:19:58,256 --> 00:20:01,176
In india, and a strange
sculpture found
343
00:20:01,201 --> 00:20:04,518
In guatemala city.
344
00:20:04,612 --> 00:20:07,704
But perhaps most intriguing
of all is a small figurine
345
00:20:07,855 --> 00:20:09,874
Attributed to the olmec,
346
00:20:10,101 --> 00:20:13,355
A civilization
that emerged around 1400 bc
347
00:20:13,378 --> 00:20:16,933
In the area
of modern-day Mexico.
348
00:20:16,958 --> 00:20:19,791
The olmecs are
one of the most mysterious
349
00:20:19,885 --> 00:20:24,273
Ancient cultures known
to the history of our planet.
350
00:20:24,298 --> 00:20:27,967
And in la venta,
we have carvings
351
00:20:28,118 --> 00:20:33,638
That show the olmecs
in very bizarre scenes.
352
00:20:33,732 --> 00:20:38,143
One of them is this plumed
serpent that appears to be
353
00:20:38,238 --> 00:20:42,464
Floating in the sky,
and you actually see a person
354
00:20:42,557 --> 00:20:47,388
Sitting inside
this flying snake.
355
00:20:47,413 --> 00:20:53,157
And so you have to wonder
if somehow the olmecs had access
356
00:20:53,252 --> 00:20:57,732
To aviation technology,
and I personally think they did.
357
00:20:57,757 --> 00:21:01,592
Because at the museum of natural
history in new york city,
358
00:21:01,743 --> 00:21:05,907
There is a olmec figurine
about this tall,
359
00:21:05,932 --> 00:21:10,153
And you can tell
that this guy is wearing
360
00:21:10,176 --> 00:21:13,414
Some type of a flight suit.
361
00:21:13,439 --> 00:21:17,016
You've got the legs here like
in a modern-day astronaut suit,
362
00:21:17,167 --> 00:21:20,352
And there's also some type
of a life-support pack
363
00:21:20,505 --> 00:21:22,113
That's on his chest.
364
00:21:23,356 --> 00:21:25,340
There are six wings,
365
00:21:25,433 --> 00:21:28,672
And the head is clearly enclosed
366
00:21:28,695 --> 00:21:32,289
By a Skullcap similar
to modern-day astronauts.
367
00:21:34,701 --> 00:21:37,461
In my opinion,
it is the smoKing gun
368
00:21:37,688 --> 00:21:40,614
Of our ancestors
having aviation technology
369
00:21:40,708 --> 00:21:42,590
Thousands of years ago.
370
00:21:44,878 --> 00:21:48,306
When it comes to ancient
artifacts depicting advanced
371
00:21:48,457 --> 00:21:51,700
Technology, one of the most
extraordinary examples
372
00:21:51,794 --> 00:21:55,127
I've ever seen
is a tiny gold figurine
373
00:21:55,221 --> 00:21:58,535
That looks remarkably similar
to a modern-day airplane.
374
00:21:58,558 --> 00:22:01,462
In fact, it's such an important
piece of evidence
375
00:22:01,487 --> 00:22:03,320
For the ancient astronaut theory
376
00:22:03,548 --> 00:22:06,542
That I wear a replica
on my shirt pocket.
377
00:22:06,567 --> 00:22:09,233
Number four on my countdown
378
00:22:09,386 --> 00:22:12,496
The gold flyer.
379
00:22:17,060 --> 00:22:19,836
The southern highlands
of colombia.
380
00:22:19,988 --> 00:22:23,007
In the late 19th century,
tomb robbers
381
00:22:23,233 --> 00:22:24,969
Searching along
the magdalena river
382
00:22:24,992 --> 00:22:28,586
Stumbled upon a gravesite
dating back 1,500 years
383
00:22:28,739 --> 00:22:33,494
To a pre-colombian civilization
known as the tolima.
384
00:22:33,519 --> 00:22:36,260
Among the funerary objects
found there
385
00:22:36,413 --> 00:22:40,191
Were hundreds of small two
to three-inch gold figurines.
386
00:22:40,342 --> 00:22:44,173
So the tolima culture
placed inside tombs little tiny
387
00:22:44,197 --> 00:22:46,842
Objects made of gold, and they
found hundreds of thousands
388
00:22:46,865 --> 00:22:50,420
Of those in the form
of different animals:
389
00:22:50,443 --> 00:22:55,780
Birds, fish, frogs, insects.
390
00:22:55,875 --> 00:22:58,854
However, out of these
hundreds of thousands,
391
00:22:58,877 --> 00:23:03,047
There were 17 that looked like
modern-day airplanes.
392
00:23:05,384 --> 00:23:08,126
They have a triangular shape,
393
00:23:08,278 --> 00:23:11,963
They have an upright tail fin,
394
00:23:12,115 --> 00:23:14,799
Stabilizers,
395
00:23:14,894 --> 00:23:18,061
And a fuselage.
396
00:23:18,288 --> 00:23:21,306
And they have nothing
in common with
397
00:23:21,459 --> 00:23:24,402
Anything similar in nature.
398
00:23:28,465 --> 00:23:31,557
In 1997, german
aviation experts,
399
00:23:31,652 --> 00:23:33,652
Including algund eenboom,
400
00:23:33,746 --> 00:23:35,723
Set out to test the gold
flyer's flight capabilities
401
00:23:35,748 --> 00:23:39,324
By building
a scale-model replica,
402
00:23:39,419 --> 00:23:42,730
Fully equipped with landing gear
and a worKing engine.
403
00:23:42,755 --> 00:23:46,239
It was rather simple
because we don't need
404
00:23:46,333 --> 00:23:49,738
To put much parts to this shape
405
00:23:49,761 --> 00:23:52,315
Because this shape is perfect.
406
00:23:52,338 --> 00:23:56,008
Everything was already done
by the native people
407
00:23:56,102 --> 00:23:59,177
2,000 years ago.
408
00:23:59,271 --> 00:24:01,271
Once completed,
the remote-controlled flyer
409
00:24:01,499 --> 00:24:04,275
Took off down a makeshift
runway, and flew.
410
00:24:10,115 --> 00:24:11,926
When you see
this thing taKing off,
411
00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:14,617
You really feel that
this is the real deal.
412
00:24:16,846 --> 00:24:18,933
It was a very successful test,
413
00:24:18,958 --> 00:24:25,278
And showed us how perfect
ancient people were worKing out
414
00:24:25,372 --> 00:24:27,942
Aerodynamic design.
415
00:24:27,967 --> 00:24:32,376
What shows you that there must
be something happened.
416
00:24:32,471 --> 00:24:37,118
We are not quite sure
how it did, but that it did.
417
00:24:37,143 --> 00:24:38,694
This is applied science.
418
00:24:38,719 --> 00:24:40,605
This isn't just
thinKing somewhere.
419
00:24:40,628 --> 00:24:44,534
This is people going out there
and maKing sure and proving
420
00:24:44,557 --> 00:24:47,151
What I still see...
Anybody can see this...
421
00:24:47,301 --> 00:24:49,131
That this is real,
this is genuine.
422
00:24:49,154 --> 00:24:52,490
This little thing, which
sits in a museum, could fly.
423
00:25:01,316 --> 00:25:06,647
In 2017, I flew to romania with
Erich Von Daniken to check out
424
00:25:06,672 --> 00:25:09,151
One of the most
remarkable artifacts
425
00:25:09,174 --> 00:25:10,652
We had ever heard of.
426
00:25:10,675 --> 00:25:13,989
An aluminum object said to be
at least 40,000 years old.
427
00:25:14,012 --> 00:25:17,159
And even more extraordinary
is that it was scientifically
428
00:25:17,182 --> 00:25:21,352
Tested and found to have been
made from an aluminum alloy
429
00:25:21,502 --> 00:25:25,763
That doesn't match anything
humans have ever manufactured.
430
00:25:27,009 --> 00:25:31,269
Number three on my countdown of
the top ten alien artifacts
431
00:25:31,364 --> 00:25:33,197
Is the wedge of aiud.
432
00:25:43,784 --> 00:25:46,451
1970.
433
00:25:46,546 --> 00:25:49,788
Workers digging a trench along
the banks of the mures river
434
00:25:49,882 --> 00:25:52,193
Unearth two giant bones,
435
00:25:52,218 --> 00:25:55,719
And with them,
a mysterious metal object
436
00:25:55,871 --> 00:25:59,298
Buried 35 feet
beneath the surface.
437
00:25:59,392 --> 00:26:03,894
This strange object, known today
as the wedge of aiud,
438
00:26:04,121 --> 00:26:06,637
Is an aluminum alloy that
appears to have been made
439
00:26:06,790 --> 00:26:09,400
Thousands of years before
humans were able to smelt
440
00:26:09,550 --> 00:26:11,402
Or fabricate metal.
441
00:26:12,813 --> 00:26:18,150
It was ten meters in depth,
associated with some bones,
442
00:26:18,243 --> 00:26:21,636
Which they later identified
as woolly mammoth bones.
443
00:26:21,730 --> 00:26:24,393
They were extinct
40,000 years ago,
444
00:26:24,416 --> 00:26:27,470
So they must be older than that.
445
00:26:27,493 --> 00:26:31,900
The wedge was analyzed
three times, to my knowledge.
446
00:26:31,923 --> 00:26:36,313
The main metal in its
composition is aluminum.
447
00:26:36,336 --> 00:26:39,412
Humans didn't really start
worKing with aluminum
448
00:26:39,506 --> 00:26:40,823
Until well into the 1800s.
449
00:26:40,915 --> 00:26:44,159
So when you look at this wedge
and you analyze it,
450
00:26:44,251 --> 00:26:46,662
It really has most
of the modern properties
451
00:26:46,755 --> 00:26:48,595
We would associate
with aluminum.
452
00:26:50,609 --> 00:26:53,611
For decades, government
officials refused to reveal
453
00:26:53,837 --> 00:26:56,520
Where the wedge of aiud
was being held.
454
00:26:56,673 --> 00:27:00,025
But its location has recently
come to light.
455
00:27:00,176 --> 00:27:04,195
On January 18, 2017,
456
00:27:04,347 --> 00:27:05,842
At the national history museum
457
00:27:05,865 --> 00:27:08,845
Of Transylvania,
ancient astronaut theorists
458
00:27:08,868 --> 00:27:11,869
Giorgio Tsoukalos
and Erich Von Daniken
459
00:27:11,963 --> 00:27:14,798
Were offered a rare opportunity
to get a firsthand look
460
00:27:14,950 --> 00:27:17,800
At the wedge of aiud.
461
00:27:17,952 --> 00:27:20,690
Museum curator ana gruia
462
00:27:20,713 --> 00:27:22,099
Has taken it
out of a storage locker
463
00:27:22,124 --> 00:27:24,102
Where it has been
deliberately hidden
464
00:27:24,125 --> 00:27:27,102
From the public
since the early 1970s.
465
00:27:29,631 --> 00:27:32,039
Okay, I'm just gonna
put my gloves on.
466
00:27:32,134 --> 00:27:33,651
This is great.
467
00:27:36,730 --> 00:27:38,540
So, this is it.
468
00:27:38,565 --> 00:27:40,140
Okay.
469
00:27:40,233 --> 00:27:42,326
This is strange.
470
00:27:44,997 --> 00:27:47,717
And here, this is the...
Where they took the sample out,
471
00:27:47,740 --> 00:27:49,666
And here, to make the analysis.
472
00:27:49,817 --> 00:27:52,480
And here you see two pieces
that are broken off, sort of.
473
00:27:52,505 --> 00:27:56,414
So maybe it was attached
or something.
474
00:27:56,509 --> 00:27:58,083
But very strange.
475
00:27:58,234 --> 00:28:00,489
So what does the museum
have to say about this?
476
00:28:00,512 --> 00:28:03,422
This is a very strange piece.
477
00:28:03,574 --> 00:28:06,236
It is. It is a strange piece
for us as well.
478
00:28:06,259 --> 00:28:09,405
As historians,
we do not consider it
479
00:28:09,430 --> 00:28:12,166
A historical object
that we're used to.
480
00:28:12,191 --> 00:28:15,599
We don't know what
it was used for, and we
481
00:28:15,694 --> 00:28:19,587
Acknowledge these uncertainties
about its dating,
482
00:28:19,681 --> 00:28:21,417
And its composition as well.
483
00:28:21,442 --> 00:28:23,366
So we have a real mystery here.
484
00:28:23,594 --> 00:28:28,855
But you see this patina
over this whole object?
485
00:28:28,949 --> 00:28:30,352
And this creates
another problem.
486
00:28:30,375 --> 00:28:33,930
Yes. Because you cannot
fake a patina.
487
00:28:33,953 --> 00:28:38,214
It's impossible to artificially
create a patina.
488
00:28:40,794 --> 00:28:44,221
The patina is a thin coating
of various metal compounds
489
00:28:44,372 --> 00:28:46,276
That forms on the surface
of the metal
490
00:28:46,299 --> 00:28:49,893
During exposure
to atmospheric elements.
491
00:28:50,045 --> 00:28:51,780
The older the object,
the thicker
492
00:28:51,805 --> 00:28:54,731
The patina layer will be.
493
00:28:54,959 --> 00:28:58,643
It takes hundreds,
if not thousands of years
494
00:28:58,738 --> 00:29:02,239
For a thick layer of patina,
as this apparently is,
495
00:29:02,390 --> 00:29:04,461
For it to develop.
496
00:29:04,484 --> 00:29:07,744
So, we-we still
have a mystery here.
497
00:29:07,895 --> 00:29:11,490
In all of your adventures,
how does this compare
498
00:29:11,584 --> 00:29:14,643
To some of the other things
that are inexplicable?
499
00:29:14,736 --> 00:29:16,972
I am helpless.
I have no idea.
500
00:29:16,997 --> 00:29:19,571
That says it all right there.
501
00:29:19,665 --> 00:29:21,924
Very bizarre.
Bizarre.
502
00:29:24,171 --> 00:29:27,096
Could the wedge of aiud
be a physical remnant
503
00:29:27,249 --> 00:29:29,098
Of an extraterrestrial
visitation
504
00:29:29,250 --> 00:29:31,769
That occurred
thousands of years ago?
505
00:29:33,012 --> 00:29:36,773
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes...
506
00:29:36,924 --> 00:29:39,518
And suggest that even more
compelling evidence
507
00:29:39,612 --> 00:29:43,614
Of alien contact exists
on the other side of the world,
508
00:29:43,765 --> 00:29:47,116
Hidden deep within
an ancient tomb.
509
00:29:54,034 --> 00:29:56,535
When it comes to finding proof
that extraterrestrials
510
00:29:56,628 --> 00:29:59,106
Visited earth, the evidence
is not always obvious.
511
00:29:59,131 --> 00:30:02,277
But sometimes it can be
crystal clear
512
00:30:02,300 --> 00:30:04,278
If you know what to look for.
513
00:30:04,303 --> 00:30:08,137
To me, this next artifact
irrefutably depicts
514
00:30:08,289 --> 00:30:12,717
An astronaut in the cockpit
of a rocket ship.
515
00:30:12,811 --> 00:30:17,459
Number two on my list of
the top ten alien artifacts:
516
00:30:17,482 --> 00:30:20,150
The sarcophagus lid
of King pakal.
517
00:30:28,402 --> 00:30:30,661
Palanque, Mexico.
518
00:30:30,887 --> 00:30:33,663
1952.
519
00:30:33,891 --> 00:30:37,554
Archaeologist
Alberto Ruz Ihuillier discovers
520
00:30:37,577 --> 00:30:39,556
The pyramid Tomb of King Pakal,
521
00:30:39,579 --> 00:30:41,838
Who ruled over
the ancient mayan city
522
00:30:41,990 --> 00:30:45,750
From 615 to 683 ad.
523
00:30:45,903 --> 00:30:49,490
This is the famous temple
of the inscriptions behind me.
524
00:30:49,515 --> 00:30:53,758
Perhaps the most famous pyramid
in all of the mayan world.
525
00:30:53,853 --> 00:30:59,522
The french-mexican archeologist
alberto lhuillier
526
00:30:59,673 --> 00:31:03,003
Began his excavations
at the top.
527
00:31:03,028 --> 00:31:05,362
It took him four years
528
00:31:05,512 --> 00:31:10,366
To slowly excavate,
step by step,
529
00:31:10,594 --> 00:31:14,186
Down the pyramid,
until he finally came
530
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,875
To The Tomb of Lord Pakal,
531
00:31:18,026 --> 00:31:21,545
And the giant
sarcophagus and lid
532
00:31:21,771 --> 00:31:23,713
That the pyramid
were built around.
533
00:31:28,295 --> 00:31:32,130
Arguably the most remarkable
mayan artifact ever found,
534
00:31:32,223 --> 00:31:35,540
The stone sarcophagus lid
of King pakal has produced
535
00:31:35,635 --> 00:31:38,874
Considerable controversy.
536
00:31:38,897 --> 00:31:42,544
Mainstream scholars believe
the depiction is of King pakal
537
00:31:42,567 --> 00:31:45,903
On a journey to Xibalba,
the land of the dead.
538
00:31:48,556 --> 00:31:52,467
But ancient astronaut theorists
believe the King is portrayed
539
00:31:52,559 --> 00:31:57,726
Seated at the controls
of a spacecraft.
540
00:31:57,750 --> 00:32:00,584
You see a man bending forward,
541
00:32:00,734 --> 00:32:04,828
Almost like
a racing motorcyclist.
542
00:32:04,981 --> 00:32:08,592
He has his nose on some kind
of oxygen mask.
543
00:32:08,742 --> 00:32:11,761
He uses his upper hand
to manipulate the knob.
544
00:32:11,913 --> 00:32:15,173
You see his lower hand,
he manipulates some controls.
545
00:32:15,267 --> 00:32:19,769
He's sitting on a kind of chair
in a sort of capsule.
546
00:32:19,921 --> 00:32:23,682
Now, what's amazing about this
is that through modern eyes
547
00:32:23,776 --> 00:32:27,329
We can readily identify
that it appears as if
548
00:32:27,354 --> 00:32:30,071
Pakal is riding in
some kind of a spaceship.
549
00:32:32,267 --> 00:32:34,692
In 2011, the strange carving
550
00:32:34,845 --> 00:32:37,173
On King Pakal's sarcophagus lid
551
00:32:37,197 --> 00:32:40,198
Was translated into a 3d replica
552
00:32:40,349 --> 00:32:42,459
By modelmaker Paul Francis.
553
00:32:42,609 --> 00:32:44,461
When I saw this,
I instantly said
554
00:32:44,612 --> 00:32:46,963
"there's a guy
in a space capsule."
555
00:32:47,115 --> 00:32:48,777
You know? It doesn't
need to be spelled out for me.
556
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,968
I don't have to find anything.
It was already there.
557
00:32:52,787 --> 00:32:57,285
I think this is absolutely
extraordinary because
558
00:32:57,308 --> 00:33:00,454
For the longest time we have
said that what is on this
559
00:33:00,479 --> 00:33:04,221
Pakal lid is not
something symbolic.
560
00:33:04,316 --> 00:33:08,203
It was something that the artist
saw or was told about,
561
00:33:08,228 --> 00:33:13,209
And then he or she tried
to recreate this on a slab.
562
00:33:13,232 --> 00:33:17,493
I also love the detail that you
have underneath his right foot,
563
00:33:17,721 --> 00:33:21,809
Where his foot
is resting on a pedestal.
564
00:33:21,834 --> 00:33:23,644
And that is exactly
what we can see
565
00:33:23,669 --> 00:33:26,076
On the palenque slab.
566
00:33:26,171 --> 00:33:30,080
And how his hands are
manipulating some controls.
567
00:33:30,233 --> 00:33:32,135
And also, this kind of
breathing apparatus
568
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,323
That's going on
in front of his nose.
569
00:33:35,346 --> 00:33:38,740
The breathing apparatus
is actually a very neat piece.
570
00:33:38,833 --> 00:33:41,742
It's called the giver of life.
571
00:33:41,836 --> 00:33:44,406
The soul transfers through this,
572
00:33:44,431 --> 00:33:48,007
And a giver of life,
to me, would be air.
573
00:33:48,101 --> 00:33:49,336
I mean, we breathe air.
574
00:33:49,361 --> 00:33:53,421
This is a guy who needs
this mask to survive.
575
00:33:53,515 --> 00:33:55,181
Because, where is he?
576
00:33:55,275 --> 00:33:57,034
Outer space.
577
00:34:05,769 --> 00:34:08,286
We're down to number one
on my countdown
578
00:34:08,438 --> 00:34:11,121
Of the top ten alien artifacts.
579
00:34:11,215 --> 00:34:13,936
Ancient aliens has traveled
to all corners of the globe
580
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:15,030
Investigating the most
incredible objects
581
00:34:15,054 --> 00:34:17,128
Ever uncovered.
582
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,632
But this final one
truly gives me goosebumps.
583
00:34:20,726 --> 00:34:22,893
Many of these have been found
all over the world,
584
00:34:23,043 --> 00:34:25,447
But in season ten
we were able to have
585
00:34:25,472 --> 00:34:28,231
One of them tested in a lab.
586
00:34:28,458 --> 00:34:30,538
The results were nothing
short of remarkable.
587
00:34:32,387 --> 00:34:35,382
Number one on my countdown
of mysterious artifacts:
588
00:34:35,407 --> 00:34:39,242
The Paracas Elongated Skulls.
589
00:34:46,827 --> 00:34:48,827
New York City.
590
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,900
February, 2017.
591
00:34:51,923 --> 00:34:55,478
At new york university,
giorgio Tsoukalos meets with
592
00:34:55,501 --> 00:34:56,905
Art collector jared collins,
593
00:34:56,929 --> 00:35:01,556
Who is in possession of a
2,000-year-old elongated Skull.
594
00:35:04,661 --> 00:35:07,938
Wow.
That is fantastic.
595
00:35:08,088 --> 00:35:12,516
The Skull is incredibly
well-preserved,
596
00:35:12,668 --> 00:35:15,186
And jared is having it tested
at the university
597
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,523
To find out if it might possibly
contain abnormalities
598
00:35:18,675 --> 00:35:21,617
That indicate it is something
other than human.
599
00:35:23,454 --> 00:35:25,099
So this Skull was found
600
00:35:25,123 --> 00:35:27,768
- In the paracas region of peru.
- That's right.
601
00:35:27,793 --> 00:35:30,869
But no real modern testing
has ever been done on this.
602
00:35:31,021 --> 00:35:32,128
This is amazing.
603
00:35:34,523 --> 00:35:37,445
Hundreds of strange, misshapen
Skulls have been found
604
00:35:37,469 --> 00:35:39,355
On the southern coast of peru
605
00:35:39,378 --> 00:35:42,692
From excavations
dating back to 1927.
606
00:35:42,715 --> 00:35:47,028
It was at this time that
archaeologist Julio Tello
607
00:35:47,052 --> 00:35:49,721
First excavated
a massive burial complex
608
00:35:49,873 --> 00:35:52,648
Thought to have been built
by the paracas people
609
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:57,820
Who lived in the region
from 800 bc to 100 bc.
610
00:35:58,047 --> 00:36:01,324
Mainstream archaeologists
say the elongation
611
00:36:01,476 --> 00:36:04,547
Is most likely the result
of head binding,
612
00:36:04,570 --> 00:36:06,887
Which involves wrapping
the heads of infants
613
00:36:06,981 --> 00:36:08,809
While their Skulls
are still soft
614
00:36:08,833 --> 00:36:10,958
In order to change the shape.
615
00:36:12,411 --> 00:36:16,063
But some of the paracas Skulls
display abnormalities
616
00:36:16,157 --> 00:36:18,077
That head binding
cannot explain.
617
00:36:20,420 --> 00:36:24,014
So, let's go, right? Okay.
618
00:36:25,851 --> 00:36:27,759
Okay.
619
00:36:27,911 --> 00:36:31,188
Nyu professor of
anthropology dr. Todd Disotell
620
00:36:31,414 --> 00:36:34,172
Agreed to conduct
a forensic evaluation
621
00:36:34,266 --> 00:36:36,579
Of the elongated Skull.
622
00:36:36,603 --> 00:36:39,916
I've seen casts.
I've never seen one in person.
623
00:36:39,940 --> 00:36:43,510
- Okay.
- Wow.
624
00:36:43,534 --> 00:36:46,422
That is... Freaky.
625
00:36:46,445 --> 00:36:49,425
I mean, I just can't
come up with another term.
626
00:36:49,449 --> 00:36:52,019
I love that your first reaction
is that it's freaky,
627
00:36:52,043 --> 00:36:54,170
- 'cause I agree with you.
- Well, I mean, look at it.
628
00:36:54,195 --> 00:36:56,356
- That's...
- It's-it's quite bizarre.
629
00:36:56,380 --> 00:36:59,456
In addition to being elongated,
630
00:36:59,550 --> 00:37:02,719
The paracas Skull possesses
an abnormally large jaw
631
00:37:02,869 --> 00:37:05,365
And eye sockets.
632
00:37:05,389 --> 00:37:09,467
Let me just move it over
to the sterile bench surface.
633
00:37:09,561 --> 00:37:12,394
Wow.
634
00:37:12,547 --> 00:37:14,456
So, it's very fascinating.
635
00:37:14,548 --> 00:37:17,045
Besides the shape.
636
00:37:17,068 --> 00:37:22,884
The sagittal suture looks like
it has completely fused.
637
00:37:22,907 --> 00:37:24,793
I'm looKing at it,
and it's just been
638
00:37:24,818 --> 00:37:26,461
Completely obliterated.
639
00:37:26,485 --> 00:37:31,306
The sagittal suture is
the seam where the two parietal
640
00:37:31,398 --> 00:37:34,251
Bones of the Skull
come together.
641
00:37:34,402 --> 00:37:39,307
Although the marKings may be
faint due to fusing over time,
642
00:37:39,331 --> 00:37:41,331
All human Skulls
are expected to have
643
00:37:41,485 --> 00:37:44,094
Some evidence of this feature.
644
00:37:44,244 --> 00:37:47,389
So it is curious
that this Skull does not.
645
00:37:50,159 --> 00:37:52,751
Okay, let's move on
to extracting
646
00:37:52,846 --> 00:37:54,586
Some tooth and bone powder
647
00:37:54,681 --> 00:37:56,681
To get dna out of that.
648
00:37:56,775 --> 00:37:59,333
Okay, excellent.
649
00:37:59,427 --> 00:38:02,612
The analysis of the material
will determine the sex,
650
00:38:02,764 --> 00:38:05,949
Ancestral lineage of both
the father and the mother,
651
00:38:06,175 --> 00:38:08,842
And any dna anomalies
when compared with
652
00:38:08,936 --> 00:38:10,615
The current human genetic
database.
653
00:38:15,626 --> 00:38:17,105
Looks pretty good.
654
00:38:17,128 --> 00:38:21,204
So, we will pack this up
and send it off,
655
00:38:21,300 --> 00:38:24,612
And in four to six weeks
they should have the result.
656
00:38:24,635 --> 00:38:26,210
Four to six weeks? Okay.
657
00:38:26,362 --> 00:38:27,402
Thank you very much.
658
00:38:27,530 --> 00:38:29,175
I really appreciate
your input on this.
659
00:38:29,199 --> 00:38:31,878
- Take care.
- Thanks a lot.
- You got it.
660
00:38:33,202 --> 00:38:37,054
Two months later,
in April, 2017,
661
00:38:37,206 --> 00:38:39,315
Giorgio contacted dr. Disotell
662
00:38:39,543 --> 00:38:41,963
To find out the results
of his testing.
663
00:38:41,987 --> 00:38:44,394
All right, todd,
you got the results?
664
00:38:44,489 --> 00:38:46,822
Yeah, and they're very,
very interesting.
665
00:38:48,068 --> 00:38:51,494
They did get a good,
clean dna profile
666
00:38:51,646 --> 00:38:54,496
From the maternally
inherited dna.
667
00:38:54,724 --> 00:38:58,054
So this particular specimen
is actually
668
00:38:58,077 --> 00:39:02,914
Not found in the new world, not
found amongst native Americans,
669
00:39:03,065 --> 00:39:07,487
And it's typically found amongst
europeans and middle easterners.
670
00:39:07,512 --> 00:39:11,681
In fact, the 100% match
was to a scottish individual.
671
00:39:11,907 --> 00:39:15,259
- This makes no sense whatsoever.
- Really?
672
00:39:15,353 --> 00:39:18,838
In a south American Skull?
This is all very strange.
673
00:39:18,931 --> 00:39:24,601
That could mean that people from
europe got to south America,
674
00:39:24,753 --> 00:39:28,590
You know, 1,500 years earlier
675
00:39:28,682 --> 00:39:31,275
Than we currently
understand that.
676
00:39:31,369 --> 00:39:33,110
That's amazing.
677
00:39:33,262 --> 00:39:36,759
Unfortunately, the condition
of the sample
678
00:39:36,782 --> 00:39:39,876
Did not yield any y chromosome.
679
00:39:40,027 --> 00:39:42,190
Unfortunately,
we're missing that.
680
00:39:42,213 --> 00:39:43,380
Right.
681
00:39:43,606 --> 00:39:47,050
Do you think that a case
can be made at all...
682
00:39:47,277 --> 00:39:49,885
And again, this is
complete speculation...
683
00:39:50,112 --> 00:39:54,202
That perhaps it is not
necessarily human?
684
00:39:54,226 --> 00:39:56,059
Is that a possibility?
685
00:39:56,210 --> 00:39:58,394
Well, it's possible.
686
00:39:58,621 --> 00:40:01,708
But still, we actually
don't know what this is.
687
00:40:01,733 --> 00:40:04,900
Since we didn't get any
definitive result, obviously
688
00:40:05,052 --> 00:40:07,047
A scientist always
wants to try to do that.
689
00:40:07,072 --> 00:40:09,054
This is extraordinary.
690
00:40:09,148 --> 00:40:10,960
It's worthy of study
691
00:40:10,983 --> 00:40:14,722
Or opening up
a new area of inquiry
692
00:40:14,746 --> 00:40:16,913
And some new hypotheses.
693
00:40:21,494 --> 00:40:23,085
An ancient Skull,
694
00:40:23,237 --> 00:40:26,831
More than twice as long
as a normal human Skull,
695
00:40:26,983 --> 00:40:30,311
With an enlarged jaw,
enlarged eye sockets,
696
00:40:30,335 --> 00:40:34,322
No sagittal suture,
and dna that does not match
697
00:40:34,414 --> 00:40:37,934
The area in which
the Skull was found.
698
00:40:38,161 --> 00:40:41,271
Might additional testing
reveal that this Skull
699
00:40:41,422 --> 00:40:44,106
Is not entirely human?
700
00:40:46,335 --> 00:40:49,257
So, did this paracas Skull
belong to someone
701
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,356
Who was part extraterrestrial?
702
00:40:52,451 --> 00:40:57,119
Ancient astronaut theorists
resoundingly say yes.
703
00:40:57,347 --> 00:40:59,938
Well, that concludes
my countdown, for now.
704
00:41:00,032 --> 00:41:04,179
And I'm confident that as more
and more mysterious artifacts
705
00:41:04,204 --> 00:41:08,130
Come to light,
the evidence of alien contact
706
00:41:08,358 --> 00:41:10,967
Will soon become
too hard to dismiss,
707
00:41:11,193 --> 00:41:13,695
And we will finally
have undeniable proof
708
00:41:13,788 --> 00:41:17,617
Of our extraterrestrial origins.
709
00:41:17,641 --> 00:41:19,476
