1
00:00:02,167 --> 00:00:04,833
A mysterious
metal object that defies ex
2
00:00:04,958 --> 00:00:06,417
- GIORGIO A.
- Very strange.
3
00:00:06,542 --> 00:00:08,708
So what does the museum
have to say about this?
4
00:00:08,875 --> 00:00:11,292
It is a strange
piece for us as well.
5
00:00:11,375 --> 00:00:13,833
An ancient stone carving
6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,708
that may possess
advanced technology.
7
00:00:16,875 --> 00:00:20,792
Inside the
crystalline structure were great
8
00:00:20,875 --> 00:00:23,083
memory chip banks.
9
00:00:23,208 --> 00:00:25,542
An extraordinary crystal skull
10
00:00:25,708 --> 00:00:28,250
with strange properties.
11
00:00:28,375 --> 00:00:29,917
So, what are we looking at here?
12
00:00:30,042 --> 00:00:31,059
It seems to be a very strong,
13
00:00:31,083 --> 00:00:32,625
protective energy.
14
00:00:32,708 --> 00:00:35,333
On Ancient
Aliens, we've investigated
15
00:00:35,458 --> 00:00:37,792
the world's oldest
and most incredible
16
00:00:37,917 --> 00:00:41,250
relics up close and in person.
17
00:00:41,375 --> 00:00:46,167
Now, we take a look back at
some of the most mysterious artifacts
18
00:00:46,292 --> 00:00:48,333
we've examined
all over the globe.
19
00:00:48,500 --> 00:00:53,000
Artifacts that, according to
ancient astronaut theorists,
20
00:00:53,125 --> 00:00:57,333
provide undeniable proof
of extraterrestrial contact.
21
00:01:12,917 --> 00:01:15,250
On Ancient Aliens,
we have examined
22
00:01:15,375 --> 00:01:18,167
some of the most
mysterious artifacts on Earth.
23
00:01:18,292 --> 00:01:21,000
Artifacts that, I believe,
24
00:01:21,083 --> 00:01:24,000
offer compelling
evidence that our ancestors
25
00:01:24,125 --> 00:01:26,500
were visited by
extraterrestrials.
26
00:01:26,667 --> 00:01:30,417
And that is exactly what
I found when I traveled
27
00:01:30,542 --> 00:01:34,500
to a museum in Romania with
Erich von Däniken to examine
28
00:01:34,667 --> 00:01:39,167
one of the most extraordinary
relics ever discovered.
29
00:01:47,333 --> 00:01:48,833
Workers digging a trench
30
00:01:48,958 --> 00:01:50,542
along the banks
of the Mures River
31
00:01:50,667 --> 00:01:52,750
unearth two giant bones.
32
00:01:53,708 --> 00:01:56,375
And with them, a
mysterious metal object,
33
00:01:56,500 --> 00:01:59,625
buried 35 feet
beneath the surface.
34
00:02:00,708 --> 00:02:04,125
The discovery brings
the project to a halt
35
00:02:04,208 --> 00:02:08,625
as the crew takes their
findings to a nearby museum.
36
00:02:08,708 --> 00:02:13,250
This strange object, known
today as the Wedge of Aiud,
37
00:02:13,375 --> 00:02:16,000
continues to baffle
archaeologists
38
00:02:16,125 --> 00:02:18,333
because it is an aluminum alloy
39
00:02:18,417 --> 00:02:21,125
that appears to have been
made thousands of years
40
00:02:21,208 --> 00:02:25,375
before humans were able
to smelt or fabricate metal.
41
00:02:26,583 --> 00:02:31,667
It was 10 meters in depth
associated with some bones,
42
00:02:31,750 --> 00:02:35,375
which they later identified
as woolly mammoth bones.
43
00:02:36,292 --> 00:02:38,208
If they were contemporary,
44
00:02:38,375 --> 00:02:40,958
all of them, then they were
in use sometime in the period
45
00:02:41,042 --> 00:02:44,042
when Neanderthals
roamed the Earth.
46
00:02:44,167 --> 00:02:46,167
So they were extinct
40,000 years ago,
47
00:02:46,250 --> 00:02:48,208
so they must be older than that.
48
00:02:49,750 --> 00:02:53,500
The Wedge was analyzed
three times to my knowledge.
49
00:02:53,625 --> 00:02:57,792
The main metal in its
composition is aluminum.
50
00:02:57,917 --> 00:03:00,167
Humans
didn't really start working
51
00:03:00,292 --> 00:03:03,208
with aluminum until
well into the 1800s.
52
00:03:03,333 --> 00:03:06,042
So when you look at this
wedge and you analyze it,
53
00:03:06,208 --> 00:03:08,500
it really has most of
the modern properties
54
00:03:08,625 --> 00:03:10,375
we would associate
with aluminum.
55
00:03:11,292 --> 00:03:14,417
In January of 2017,
56
00:03:14,542 --> 00:03:16,167
ancient astronaut theorists
57
00:03:16,250 --> 00:03:18,917
Giorgio Tsoukalos
and Erich von Däniken
58
00:03:19,042 --> 00:03:20,750
were offered a rare opportunity
59
00:03:20,875 --> 00:03:23,833
to get a firsthand look
at the Wedge of Aiud.
60
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,167
Museum curator Ana Gruia
61
00:03:27,292 --> 00:03:28,958
has taken it out
of a storage locker
62
00:03:29,042 --> 00:03:30,500
where it has been
deliberately hidden
63
00:03:30,625 --> 00:03:33,500
from the public
since the early 1970s.
64
00:03:33,583 --> 00:03:35,500
Okay.
65
00:03:35,625 --> 00:03:36,625
This is exciting.
66
00:03:36,750 --> 00:03:38,708
Okay, I'm just gonna
put my gloves on.
67
00:03:38,833 --> 00:03:40,500
This is great.
68
00:03:43,333 --> 00:03:44,792
So this is it.
69
00:03:44,917 --> 00:03:47,042
- Oh, wow.
- Okay.
70
00:03:47,208 --> 00:03:49,167
This is strange.
71
00:03:52,875 --> 00:03:54,625
It's very heavy.
72
00:03:54,750 --> 00:03:56,750
- Giorgio, take it, it's heavy.
- This is crazy.
73
00:03:56,875 --> 00:03:58,333
Wow.
74
00:03:58,458 --> 00:04:00,375
And this was found at a depth
75
00:04:00,500 --> 00:04:03,167
of 10 meters, which
is about 30 feet,
76
00:04:03,333 --> 00:04:04,493
- in the ground.
- Yes.
77
00:04:04,542 --> 00:04:06,542
Yes, and here, this is
78
00:04:06,667 --> 00:04:09,792
where they took the sample out,
and here, to make the analysis.
79
00:04:09,875 --> 00:04:11,333
And here you see two pieces
80
00:04:11,458 --> 00:04:12,667
that are broken off, sort of.
81
00:04:12,792 --> 00:04:15,792
So maybe it was
attached or something.
82
00:04:15,917 --> 00:04:17,833
But very strange.
83
00:04:17,958 --> 00:04:20,500
So what does the museum
have to say about this?
84
00:04:20,667 --> 00:04:23,500
This is a very strange piece.
85
00:04:23,625 --> 00:04:26,208
It is, it is a strange
piece for us as well.
86
00:04:26,375 --> 00:04:29,292
As historians, we
do not consider it
87
00:04:29,417 --> 00:04:32,250
a historical object
that we're used to.
88
00:04:32,375 --> 00:04:34,667
We don't know
what it was used for,
89
00:04:34,750 --> 00:04:39,167
and we acknowledge these
uncertainties about its dating,
90
00:04:39,250 --> 00:04:41,458
and its composition as well.
91
00:04:41,583 --> 00:04:44,833
So, for what can you use this?
92
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,542
It looks like a hammer
or a shovel, but, Giorgio,
93
00:04:48,708 --> 00:04:50,083
what is the word of, in English?
94
00:04:51,875 --> 00:04:54,208
- Oh, an excavator tooth.
- Well,
95
00:04:54,333 --> 00:04:55,833
it looks like this.
96
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,559
- It could have been something like it.
- Yeah.
97
00:04:57,583 --> 00:04:59,375
But these excavator tooths
98
00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:01,559
- are never made out of aluminum.
- No, it's too weak.
99
00:05:01,583 --> 00:05:03,184
- Aluminum is too soft.
- Yeah.
100
00:05:03,208 --> 00:05:05,333
They are made out of steel.
101
00:05:05,458 --> 00:05:08,250
Especially hard steel,
so it could not be that.
102
00:05:08,375 --> 00:05:10,500
So we have a real mystery here.
103
00:05:10,625 --> 00:05:16,000
But you see this patina
over this whole object?
104
00:05:16,167 --> 00:05:17,708
And this creates
another problem.
105
00:05:17,833 --> 00:05:20,833
Yes, because
you cannot fake a patina.
106
00:05:20,958 --> 00:05:21,958
It's impossible
107
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,542
to artificially create a patina.
108
00:05:26,792 --> 00:05:30,167
The patina is a thin
coating of various metal compounds
109
00:05:30,333 --> 00:05:32,458
that forms on the
surface of the metal
110
00:05:32,583 --> 00:05:35,375
during exposure to
atmospheric elements.
111
00:05:36,292 --> 00:05:37,667
The older the object,
112
00:05:37,792 --> 00:05:40,375
the thicker the
patina layer will be.
113
00:05:42,375 --> 00:05:45,500
It takes hundreds, if
not thousands of years
114
00:05:45,625 --> 00:05:47,917
for a thick layer of patina,
115
00:05:48,042 --> 00:05:50,167
as this apparently is,
116
00:05:50,292 --> 00:05:51,708
for it to develop.
117
00:05:51,833 --> 00:05:53,750
Yes, we agree there
are two basic problems.
118
00:05:53,875 --> 00:05:56,250
One, that aluminum
was not invented
119
00:05:56,375 --> 00:06:00,167
at the age when we
presume this was in use.
120
00:06:00,292 --> 00:06:02,542
And second, it's the
patina, as you noted.
121
00:06:02,667 --> 00:06:04,292
Which speaks for the date.
122
00:06:04,375 --> 00:06:05,851
- Yes.
- For the age of it.
123
00:06:05,875 --> 00:06:09,458
So we-we still
have a mystery here.
124
00:06:09,542 --> 00:06:11,667
Thank you very much for
125
00:06:11,833 --> 00:06:15,042
showing us this object because
I know that there was a time
126
00:06:15,167 --> 00:06:17,917
when nobody knew where it was,
127
00:06:18,042 --> 00:06:20,000
somewhere in a box in the back.
128
00:06:20,083 --> 00:06:24,000
Which means present-day
archaeology has a problem.
129
00:06:24,125 --> 00:06:25,792
And they're doing
magnificent work.
130
00:06:25,875 --> 00:06:27,750
But when something
like this comes along,
131
00:06:27,875 --> 00:06:30,250
you know, we
should investigate this
132
00:06:30,375 --> 00:06:32,917
and not put it in
a box in the back.
133
00:06:33,042 --> 00:06:35,458
- Definitely.
- It did depend on mentalities
134
00:06:35,542 --> 00:06:37,250
- in official position.
- Yes.
135
00:06:37,375 --> 00:06:40,375
It isn't currently exhibited
136
00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:42,417
because we have to admit,
137
00:06:42,542 --> 00:06:46,375
as historians, that
we do not know
138
00:06:46,500 --> 00:06:48,208
more details about it.
139
00:06:48,375 --> 00:06:51,375
For us it's just
baffling at this point.
140
00:06:51,542 --> 00:06:56,000
But taking the-the logic
further, this conflicting
141
00:06:56,125 --> 00:06:59,333
information could have
just two solutions so far:
142
00:06:59,458 --> 00:07:04,375
One, that it is really not
so old and the context
143
00:07:04,500 --> 00:07:08,000
is irrelevant, and the patina
was somehow produced
144
00:07:08,083 --> 00:07:09,708
in special circumstances.
145
00:07:09,875 --> 00:07:13,417
So it's a new object
strangely preserved, let's say.
146
00:07:13,542 --> 00:07:15,417
And the second
option is, of course,
147
00:07:15,542 --> 00:07:18,750
that it's not of
terrestrial origin.
148
00:07:19,708 --> 00:07:21,083
In all of your adventures,
149
00:07:21,208 --> 00:07:22,875
how does this compare
150
00:07:23,042 --> 00:07:26,167
to some of the other
things that are inexplicable?
151
00:07:26,292 --> 00:07:28,458
I am helpless. I have no idea.
152
00:07:28,583 --> 00:07:31,083
That says it all right there.
153
00:07:31,208 --> 00:07:33,750
Very bizarre. Bizarre.
154
00:07:35,667 --> 00:07:40,500
I've known about this
thing since the early 1990s,
155
00:07:40,583 --> 00:07:44,333
and I have to tell
you that looking at it
156
00:07:44,417 --> 00:07:48,167
in person was a dream come true.
157
00:07:48,333 --> 00:07:52,625
And it's a very strange thing.
158
00:07:52,750 --> 00:07:54,542
I mean, how do you explain this?
159
00:07:54,667 --> 00:07:56,875
It certainly looks
160
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,042
as if it was part
of a larger object.
161
00:08:02,167 --> 00:08:06,583
The question is, was it a
component of a device?
162
00:08:06,708 --> 00:08:09,125
Was it a component
of something larger?
163
00:08:11,125 --> 00:08:15,667
If the Wedge of
Aiud really is over 40,000 years old,
164
00:08:15,750 --> 00:08:19,125
then who made it, and
what was it used for?
165
00:08:20,292 --> 00:08:22,292
Some ancient astronaut theorists
166
00:08:22,375 --> 00:08:24,583
believe they may
have the answer.
167
00:08:25,708 --> 00:08:28,875
An aeronautical engineer
who saw the Aiud Wedge
168
00:08:29,042 --> 00:08:30,250
looked at it and said,
169
00:08:30,375 --> 00:08:31,958
"That's a piece
of a landing gear
170
00:08:32,083 --> 00:08:35,583
for a vertical takeoff
and landing aircraft."
171
00:08:35,708 --> 00:08:39,042
Ancient astronaut theorists
have also looked at this wedge
172
00:08:39,208 --> 00:08:41,000
and surmised that it's possible
173
00:08:41,125 --> 00:08:44,167
that it's part of a crashed
extraterrestrial craft.
174
00:08:45,792 --> 00:08:47,625
Could the Wedge of Aiud
175
00:08:47,708 --> 00:08:51,500
really be a remnant of
an extraterrestrial craft?
176
00:08:51,667 --> 00:08:54,875
Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes.
177
00:08:55,792 --> 00:08:58,292
And they suggest that the truth
178
00:08:58,375 --> 00:09:00,167
about these
otherworldly visitors
179
00:09:00,292 --> 00:09:06,167
can be found half a world
away, encoded in stone.
180
00:09:11,458 --> 00:09:12,917
Some of the most
mysterious artifacts
181
00:09:13,042 --> 00:09:15,167
we've investigated
on Ancient Aliens
182
00:09:15,250 --> 00:09:17,050
have come in the form
of ancient stone statues
183
00:09:17,083 --> 00:09:18,750
known as stelae.
184
00:09:18,875 --> 00:09:21,667
On a recent trip to
Copán, Honduras,
185
00:09:21,792 --> 00:09:23,458
I met with an archaeologist
186
00:09:23,542 --> 00:09:25,333
who showed me some
intriguing examples
187
00:09:25,500 --> 00:09:27,042
of these Mayan artifacts
188
00:09:27,167 --> 00:09:28,708
that he suggests
189
00:09:28,875 --> 00:09:31,917
may have served a
technological purpose.
190
00:09:36,958 --> 00:09:40,542
Ancient Astronaut
theorist Giorgio Tsoukalos travels
191
00:09:40,708 --> 00:09:42,958
to Copán, Honduras, to meet up
192
00:09:43,042 --> 00:09:46,542
with renowned Mayan
archaeologist David Sedat
193
00:09:46,667 --> 00:09:48,458
who's been involved
in the excavation
194
00:09:48,583 --> 00:09:51,167
of the site for more
than three decades.
195
00:09:51,292 --> 00:09:54,042
David,
great pleasure to meet you.
196
00:09:54,167 --> 00:09:55,893
Well, I've been
looking forward to this.
197
00:09:55,917 --> 00:09:57,434
I'm sure you have a lot
of things you want to see.
198
00:09:57,458 --> 00:09:58,738
This is... Yes, I do.
199
00:09:58,792 --> 00:10:01,167
So, David, what are
we looking at here?
200
00:10:01,292 --> 00:10:02,292
Well,
201
00:10:02,333 --> 00:10:04,000
this is the Great Plaza.
202
00:10:04,125 --> 00:10:07,167
It's over 100 meters, uh,
larger than a football field.
203
00:10:07,333 --> 00:10:11,583
And it's the southern portion
204
00:10:11,708 --> 00:10:14,125
of the Great Plaza with
the majority of the great
205
00:10:14,250 --> 00:10:17,000
standing stone giants that
you've come to see are located.
206
00:10:17,125 --> 00:10:19,042
On the grounds at Copán
207
00:10:19,208 --> 00:10:22,625
are dozens of stone
statues called stelae.
208
00:10:22,708 --> 00:10:24,667
The most well-known of these
209
00:10:24,792 --> 00:10:27,708
were built during the
43-year reign of the ruler
210
00:10:27,833 --> 00:10:29,833
Uaxaclajuun Ub'aah K'awiil,
211
00:10:29,958 --> 00:10:33,125
better known by the
nickname "18 Rabbit."
212
00:10:34,542 --> 00:10:35,822
This is the first time
213
00:10:35,875 --> 00:10:37,333
I'm standing next
to one of these.
214
00:10:37,458 --> 00:10:40,000
Absolutely incredible.
215
00:10:40,083 --> 00:10:44,208
What do the glyphs say
about this particular statue
216
00:10:44,333 --> 00:10:45,333
or stela here?
217
00:10:46,250 --> 00:10:49,042
This is all a representation of
218
00:10:49,167 --> 00:10:52,917
the 13th ruler, whom we
have nicknamed 18 Rabbit.
219
00:10:53,042 --> 00:10:57,083
And they show him
taking on the persona
220
00:10:57,208 --> 00:11:03,208
of the high god of Copán,
Ju'n Ajaw, who was a sky god.
221
00:11:03,333 --> 00:11:04,667
The supreme being.
222
00:11:04,750 --> 00:11:06,833
The motifs on his headdress
223
00:11:06,958 --> 00:11:10,375
and other attributes
show that he is a sky deity.
224
00:11:10,542 --> 00:11:15,958
This is amazing to me
because here we have not only
225
00:11:16,042 --> 00:11:20,333
a statue depicting
something, which is a picture,
226
00:11:20,458 --> 00:11:21,542
a carved picture,
227
00:11:21,708 --> 00:11:23,583
but on the sides,
we have writing,
228
00:11:23,708 --> 00:11:27,792
glyphs carved that
speak of a sky deity.
229
00:11:29,333 --> 00:11:32,167
Now, when I look at
something like this,
230
00:11:32,292 --> 00:11:35,750
I'm immediately reminded
of misunderstood technology.
231
00:11:35,875 --> 00:11:40,333
Because imagine,
if a people who are
232
00:11:40,417 --> 00:11:44,750
intelligent yet their
technological frame of reference
233
00:11:44,875 --> 00:11:48,792
from 1,000 or 2,000 years ago
we have to admit was primitive,
234
00:11:48,917 --> 00:11:50,833
not their intelligence,
235
00:11:50,917 --> 00:11:53,000
their technological
frame of reference.
236
00:11:53,083 --> 00:11:55,833
Of course, let
me just add to that
237
00:11:55,917 --> 00:11:57,833
that everything
238
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,917
shows his connectedness
of the cosmos
239
00:12:02,042 --> 00:12:06,125
and this living space of
mankind in all of its senses.
240
00:12:06,250 --> 00:12:07,542
And by the way,
241
00:12:07,667 --> 00:12:09,833
I have seen that
headdress right there
242
00:12:09,958 --> 00:12:11,958
elsewhere on planet Earth.
243
00:12:12,042 --> 00:12:14,000
And that is in Mesopotamia.
244
00:12:14,083 --> 00:12:18,333
So the fact that we have
these examples worldwide
245
00:12:18,458 --> 00:12:20,583
leads me to think that it was
246
00:12:20,708 --> 00:12:22,875
a flesh and blood
extraterrestrial
247
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,708
whom our ancestors
misinterpreted as being God.
248
00:12:27,833 --> 00:12:30,333
Why? Because they
came from the sky.
249
00:12:30,417 --> 00:12:33,167
Arthur C. Clarke said
it best when he said,
250
00:12:33,292 --> 00:12:36,792
"Any sufficiently
advanced technology
251
00:12:36,875 --> 00:12:39,667
is indistinguishable
from magic."
252
00:12:39,792 --> 00:12:42,250
Imagine showing
253
00:12:42,375 --> 00:12:45,375
your great-great-grandfather
your smart phone.
254
00:12:45,500 --> 00:12:48,000
- Right. That's right.
- All of a sudden,
255
00:12:48,125 --> 00:12:49,792
you've become a
magician, a wizard.
256
00:12:49,917 --> 00:12:53,542
When we talk about technology,
257
00:12:53,667 --> 00:12:56,500
I imagine someday in the future
258
00:12:56,625 --> 00:12:59,000
that the technology will be such
259
00:12:59,125 --> 00:13:01,167
that we'll be able to scan
260
00:13:01,292 --> 00:13:02,417
this stela here...
261
00:13:03,583 --> 00:13:07,000
and receive the resonances
262
00:13:07,083 --> 00:13:11,000
that are inside the crystalline
structure of the stone.
263
00:13:11,125 --> 00:13:13,500
In other words, that
these were great
264
00:13:13,583 --> 00:13:15,542
memory chip banks.
265
00:13:15,667 --> 00:13:16,750
Wow, okay.
266
00:13:16,875 --> 00:13:19,833
And in the appropriate algorithm
267
00:13:19,958 --> 00:13:22,167
we could peel back into time
268
00:13:22,250 --> 00:13:25,208
by hearing the sights and sounds
269
00:13:25,375 --> 00:13:27,125
and everything
that happened in this
270
00:13:27,250 --> 00:13:30,542
sacred space and maybe
answer some of the questions
271
00:13:30,667 --> 00:13:32,458
that you were posing.
272
00:13:32,542 --> 00:13:35,625
Is it possible
that these Mayan stone giants
273
00:13:35,708 --> 00:13:37,375
were designed in such a way
274
00:13:37,500 --> 00:13:40,625
as to be able to digitally
store valuable data?
275
00:13:41,750 --> 00:13:44,375
We've learned
a lot about how ancient civilizations
276
00:13:44,500 --> 00:13:47,667
understood our solar
system and their world.
277
00:13:47,750 --> 00:13:50,417
These civilizations had
advanced technologies
278
00:13:50,542 --> 00:13:51,875
for working with
stone and metal,
279
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,833
and in some cases crystals.
280
00:13:53,958 --> 00:13:56,417
We still don't know how
they did what they did.
281
00:13:56,542 --> 00:14:00,458
It's reasonable that, given
these monuments exist,
282
00:14:00,583 --> 00:14:02,792
that we should analyze
them to see if there's
283
00:14:02,917 --> 00:14:06,208
other layers of information
encoded in them.
284
00:14:07,208 --> 00:14:09,333
If these statues were
285
00:14:09,417 --> 00:14:13,833
in fact devices that had
recorded information,
286
00:14:13,958 --> 00:14:17,625
you wonder if we have also
287
00:14:17,750 --> 00:14:21,000
some evidence here
from the statues of Copán
288
00:14:21,167 --> 00:14:24,500
that extraterrestrials
are coming to this planet.
289
00:14:26,458 --> 00:14:29,458
Could the
ancient stone giants of Copán
290
00:14:29,542 --> 00:14:31,667
really be encoded with
precious information
291
00:14:31,792 --> 00:14:34,125
about the ancient world?
292
00:14:34,208 --> 00:14:37,500
And if so, might they
also hold evidence
293
00:14:37,625 --> 00:14:39,917
of extraterrestrial contact?
294
00:14:41,083 --> 00:14:44,208
As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,
295
00:14:44,333 --> 00:14:47,250
the answer is a profound yes.
296
00:14:48,875 --> 00:14:50,000
And to prove their point,
297
00:14:50,125 --> 00:14:51,958
they believe that
one of the keys
298
00:14:52,083 --> 00:14:54,750
can be found by examining
the elaborate carvings
299
00:14:54,875 --> 00:14:58,500
located on what is
referred to as Stela C...
300
00:14:58,583 --> 00:15:01,500
the same one that David Sedat
301
00:15:01,583 --> 00:15:03,542
considers the most incredible.
302
00:15:04,875 --> 00:15:07,500
The inscription on this side
303
00:15:07,583 --> 00:15:09,583
starts a 20-year period
304
00:15:09,708 --> 00:15:12,875
equivalent to December 5 of 711.
305
00:15:14,583 --> 00:15:19,000
And midnight on that night,
the Milky Way was standing
306
00:15:19,083 --> 00:15:21,708
precisely straight up
in the tropical sky here.
307
00:15:21,833 --> 00:15:24,375
The text goes on to say
308
00:15:24,500 --> 00:15:29,292
that this also happened
4,600 years before.
309
00:15:29,375 --> 00:15:34,000
And there is strong
implication that he was as well,
310
00:15:34,125 --> 00:15:39,167
like on that night,
witnessing this celestial event.
311
00:15:40,458 --> 00:15:42,625
Witnessing the event?
312
00:15:42,708 --> 00:15:46,000
Is it possible that the
ruler depicted on the stelae
313
00:15:46,125 --> 00:15:47,917
known as 18 Rabbit
314
00:15:48,042 --> 00:15:51,167
was able to observe
an astronomical event
315
00:15:51,250 --> 00:15:55,583
that occurred more than
4,000 years before his time?
316
00:15:57,833 --> 00:15:59,167
Let me show you
how the narrative
317
00:15:59,333 --> 00:16:00,833
picks up on the other side.
318
00:16:00,958 --> 00:16:02,583
All right, let's check it out.
319
00:16:06,375 --> 00:16:07,667
So now here,
320
00:16:07,750 --> 00:16:09,792
- this guy has a beard.
- Well, yes.
321
00:16:09,875 --> 00:16:12,375
This is still 18 Rabbit,
322
00:16:12,500 --> 00:16:15,500
but he's achieved
great age, great wisdom.
323
00:16:15,667 --> 00:16:17,333
Telling us that he is
324
00:16:17,417 --> 00:16:20,792
witnessing this astronomical
conjunction of the Milky Way
325
00:16:20,875 --> 00:16:22,917
two million years ago.
326
00:16:23,042 --> 00:16:24,458
Two million years ago?
327
00:16:24,542 --> 00:16:25,934
- Two million years ago.
- So this guy here...
328
00:16:25,958 --> 00:16:27,125
And he witnessed it.
329
00:16:27,250 --> 00:16:30,833
Now, he witnesses
this astronomical
330
00:16:30,958 --> 00:16:33,542
conjunction of the Milky Way
331
00:16:33,667 --> 00:16:36,750
two million years in the future.
332
00:16:36,875 --> 00:16:39,083
- As well?
- As well.
333
00:16:39,208 --> 00:16:40,833
That's extraordinary.
334
00:16:40,917 --> 00:16:42,875
So these stones have to be seen
335
00:16:43,042 --> 00:16:47,167
as the supernatural
personas that can travel
336
00:16:47,333 --> 00:16:52,083
in time simultaneously
backwards and forwards.
337
00:16:54,125 --> 00:16:56,375
You've just blown my mind.
338
00:16:56,500 --> 00:17:00,500
Supernatural
personas that can travel through time?
339
00:17:00,625 --> 00:17:04,458
If the statues of Copán
were really created
340
00:17:04,583 --> 00:17:07,125
as a means of storing
valuable ancient knowledge,
341
00:17:07,208 --> 00:17:10,125
as ancient astronaut
theorists suggest,
342
00:17:10,208 --> 00:17:14,667
then how and why did that
knowledge come to be lost...
343
00:17:15,792 --> 00:17:19,458
along with the keys
needed to unlock their secrets?
344
00:17:19,583 --> 00:17:22,833
Perhaps the answers
can be found by examining
345
00:17:22,917 --> 00:17:25,750
another group of
mysterious stones
346
00:17:25,875 --> 00:17:29,000
that may have
extraterrestrial origins.
347
00:17:32,875 --> 00:17:34,292
Many of the
mystererious artifacts
348
00:17:34,375 --> 00:17:35,684
we've investigated
on Ancient Aliens are,
349
00:17:35,708 --> 00:17:37,208
in my opinion,
350
00:17:37,333 --> 00:17:40,208
objects that our ancestors
created to document
351
00:17:40,375 --> 00:17:43,250
encounters with
otherworldly beings.
352
00:17:43,375 --> 00:17:46,500
But every now and then we
have come across an artifact
353
00:17:46,583 --> 00:17:50,375
that may itself be of
extraterrestrial origin.
354
00:17:50,500 --> 00:17:54,583
In 2019, David Childress
got the rare opportunity
355
00:17:54,708 --> 00:17:58,417
to scientifically test strange
stones that are unlike
356
00:17:58,542 --> 00:18:02,667
anything we've ever
found on planet Earth.
357
00:18:04,875 --> 00:18:07,542
Sierra Leone, Africa.
358
00:18:08,833 --> 00:18:11,042
The early 1990s.
359
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,042
As civil war rages
across the country...
360
00:18:18,125 --> 00:18:19,958
rebels begin forcing
villagers to mine
361
00:18:20,083 --> 00:18:22,042
so-called "blood diamonds."
362
00:18:23,208 --> 00:18:25,875
But from deep within the
earth emerges a vast treasure
363
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,750
they weren't expecting.
364
00:18:29,208 --> 00:18:32,083
They discover mysterious figures
365
00:18:32,208 --> 00:18:34,500
ranging from five
to ten inches tall...
366
00:18:36,292 --> 00:18:39,083
often with reptilian
or amphibian features
367
00:18:39,208 --> 00:18:41,500
known as Nomoli.
368
00:18:42,542 --> 00:18:44,708
They're very strange statues.
369
00:18:44,875 --> 00:18:48,667
Some are clay, some
are of granite or limestone.
370
00:18:49,875 --> 00:18:54,417
They are humans and human
figures with lizard heads.
371
00:18:54,542 --> 00:18:57,250
There are hundreds of them.
372
00:18:58,708 --> 00:19:02,083
According to legend,
the Nomoli represent sky gods.
373
00:19:02,208 --> 00:19:04,500
When they fell from the heaven,
374
00:19:04,583 --> 00:19:08,417
part of the sky turned to stone
and rained down with them.
375
00:19:09,458 --> 00:19:11,667
Curiously, strange blue stones
376
00:19:11,792 --> 00:19:16,125
can be found buried with
many of the Nomoli figurines.
377
00:19:16,208 --> 00:19:20,333
These strange blue
stones called skystones
378
00:19:20,458 --> 00:19:24,500
have been found with
the statues and at first,
379
00:19:24,625 --> 00:19:27,417
archaeologists thought,
okay, it's just blue stones.
380
00:19:27,542 --> 00:19:29,667
But when they analyzed it,
381
00:19:29,833 --> 00:19:33,958
they couldn't figure out how
these had been made, too.
382
00:19:34,083 --> 00:19:36,333
Although the people
in Sierra Leone felt
383
00:19:36,458 --> 00:19:39,333
that they were actually
pieces of the blue sky
384
00:19:39,458 --> 00:19:41,833
that fell with the Nomoli.
385
00:19:43,542 --> 00:19:47,000
If these mysterious
blue stones are really connected
386
00:19:47,125 --> 00:19:49,833
to the legend of the
sky turning to stone
387
00:19:49,958 --> 00:19:53,250
and raining down on the Earth
with the arrival of the Nomoli,
388
00:19:53,375 --> 00:19:55,333
what could they be?
389
00:19:58,125 --> 00:20:03,417
Seattle, Washington.
March 6, 2019.
390
00:20:04,625 --> 00:20:08,042
In search of further evidence
that the Nomoli statues may have
391
00:20:08,167 --> 00:20:10,625
an extraterrestrial connection,
392
00:20:10,708 --> 00:20:13,292
ancient astronaut
theorist David Childress
393
00:20:13,375 --> 00:20:16,000
has arranged to meet
up with skystone collector
394
00:20:16,125 --> 00:20:17,792
and researcher Jared Collins.
395
00:20:17,875 --> 00:20:19,250
Wow.
396
00:20:19,375 --> 00:20:21,250
Jared has in his possession
397
00:20:21,375 --> 00:20:23,250
a number of the
mysterious blue stones
398
00:20:23,375 --> 00:20:26,125
that were found
near the statues.
399
00:20:26,208 --> 00:20:27,583
So how was it that these stones
400
00:20:27,708 --> 00:20:29,500
were actually discovered
in modern time?
401
00:20:29,583 --> 00:20:32,917
This was actually
discovered in 1991
402
00:20:33,042 --> 00:20:34,708
by a man named David Leadbetter.
403
00:20:35,833 --> 00:20:38,042
He was in Sierra Leone
on a mining concession
404
00:20:38,167 --> 00:20:39,542
looking for gold and diamonds.
405
00:20:39,708 --> 00:20:43,708
And when he was
having his crew dig,
406
00:20:43,875 --> 00:20:46,583
occasionally, these
stones would appear.
407
00:20:46,708 --> 00:20:48,833
What do other
geologists say about
408
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,667
stones like this? Are
they able to identify them?
409
00:20:51,750 --> 00:20:53,833
We've sent
these now to 12 different labs.
410
00:20:53,917 --> 00:20:56,458
There is not one piece
of consensus in here.
411
00:20:56,542 --> 00:20:57,862
Everybody has a
different opinion.
412
00:20:57,958 --> 00:21:00,083
We still don't know,
actually, if these are
413
00:21:00,208 --> 00:21:02,583
- natural or man-made.
- So maybe it's from another planet.
414
00:21:02,708 --> 00:21:03,833
I don't know.
415
00:21:03,958 --> 00:21:05,958
I really wish I did, and
I would love a chance
416
00:21:06,042 --> 00:21:07,667
to actually be able to get this
417
00:21:07,750 --> 00:21:09,684
in front of somebody else
who could look at it again.
418
00:21:09,708 --> 00:21:12,375
I've got some friends at
the University of Washington
419
00:21:12,500 --> 00:21:14,917
and I think we can set this
up and have another test done.
420
00:21:15,042 --> 00:21:16,792
That would be fantastic.
421
00:21:16,875 --> 00:21:18,667
I would love to get
some consensus on this
422
00:21:18,792 --> 00:21:20,958
to understand
what this actually is.
423
00:21:21,083 --> 00:21:24,333
While tests
conducted on the stones found
424
00:21:24,458 --> 00:21:27,500
with the Nomoli statues
have so far produced
425
00:21:27,625 --> 00:21:31,292
conflicting and sometimes
even confounding results,
426
00:21:31,375 --> 00:21:35,417
David is eager to have
them tested for himself.
427
00:21:39,750 --> 00:21:41,458
At the University of Washington,
428
00:21:41,542 --> 00:21:44,958
David and Jared meet
with renowned geologist
429
00:21:45,042 --> 00:21:47,250
Professor Peter Ward.
430
00:21:47,375 --> 00:21:48,833
Hi, I'm David Childress.
431
00:21:48,958 --> 00:21:50,268
- I talked to you on the phone.
- David.
432
00:21:50,292 --> 00:21:51,167
It's good to meet you.
433
00:21:51,292 --> 00:21:52,542
And this is Jared Collins.
434
00:21:52,667 --> 00:21:54,292
Thank you so much
for seeing us today.
435
00:21:54,375 --> 00:21:55,708
Jared, both of you guys,
436
00:21:55,833 --> 00:21:58,458
welcome to the University
of Washington IsoLab.
437
00:21:58,542 --> 00:22:01,417
So, what do we have
in this beautiful box?
438
00:22:01,542 --> 00:22:04,000
Well, we're sort of
hoping that you can tell us.
439
00:22:07,542 --> 00:22:10,625
Well, well, well, what
are these beauties?
440
00:22:10,750 --> 00:22:13,333
We have been through
many tests on these,
441
00:22:13,417 --> 00:22:14,875
and no one can identify them.
442
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,542
They cannot tell us whether
443
00:22:16,708 --> 00:22:19,667
these are natural or artificial,
what's causing the blue color,
444
00:22:19,792 --> 00:22:21,250
if this is ancient or modern.
445
00:22:21,375 --> 00:22:23,167
So, they've been checked for
446
00:22:23,250 --> 00:22:25,000
the common blue
minerals, I take it?
447
00:22:25,125 --> 00:22:27,792
One thing that we know for
sure is that this is not turquoise.
448
00:22:27,875 --> 00:22:30,625
This is not lapis.
This is not erinite.
449
00:22:30,708 --> 00:22:33,833
The fact that
it's so unbelievably light
450
00:22:33,958 --> 00:22:37,542
really suggests that there's
an organic component to it.
451
00:22:37,667 --> 00:22:40,500
Anything that goes blue
generally is much heavier,
452
00:22:40,667 --> 00:22:42,625
So this is, this is
really a mystery.
453
00:22:42,708 --> 00:22:44,042
I should mention also
454
00:22:44,167 --> 00:22:47,167
that this only comes
from one very specific part,
455
00:22:47,292 --> 00:22:48,792
from one very specific village.
456
00:22:48,875 --> 00:22:51,000
It has never been found
anywhere else in the world.
457
00:22:51,083 --> 00:22:54,500
Well, let's do a test
that removes any doubt
458
00:22:54,583 --> 00:22:56,750
about them being partly organic.
459
00:22:58,167 --> 00:23:00,208
So Erin is gonna take this rock
460
00:23:00,333 --> 00:23:02,333
and she's gonna
scrape it into these
461
00:23:02,500 --> 00:23:05,500
tiny little tin cups.
462
00:23:05,667 --> 00:23:09,500
The tin cups themselves will
load into our mass spectrograph.
463
00:23:09,625 --> 00:23:12,333
They will then be heated to a
thousand degrees centigrade.
464
00:23:12,500 --> 00:23:15,333
Everything inside will
combust and turn to gas.
465
00:23:15,500 --> 00:23:18,000
And those individual
gas molecules will then
466
00:23:18,083 --> 00:23:21,375
be sampled and we can examine
if there are any truly organic
467
00:23:21,542 --> 00:23:24,583
molecules in this rock.
468
00:23:24,708 --> 00:23:28,750
Was there some life process
that was involved in its formation?
469
00:23:30,917 --> 00:23:34,333
David and Jared
return home to wait for the results.
470
00:23:34,500 --> 00:23:37,625
When Dr. Ward receives
them two weeks later,
471
00:23:37,708 --> 00:23:39,833
he sends an email to David
472
00:23:39,917 --> 00:23:41,750
remarking that what
the scientists found
473
00:23:41,875 --> 00:23:44,958
was so strange, they
ran the tests three times,
474
00:23:45,042 --> 00:23:48,000
thinking it was a
machine error and added:
475
00:23:48,083 --> 00:23:50,667
"This gives me the creeps."
476
00:23:51,875 --> 00:23:55,500
To learn more, David contacted
Dr. Ward through video chat.
477
00:23:55,583 --> 00:23:57,417
Hi, Doctor Ward.
478
00:23:57,542 --> 00:23:59,500
So I wanted to learn
about the results?
479
00:23:59,625 --> 00:24:01,500
Yeah, it was pretty cool.
480
00:24:01,625 --> 00:24:03,385
I mean, it was much
stranger than we thought.
481
00:24:03,500 --> 00:24:05,260
There really seems to
be some sort of organic
482
00:24:05,292 --> 00:24:06,417
aspect to this.
483
00:24:06,542 --> 00:24:09,250
It's got element nitrogen in it
484
00:24:09,375 --> 00:24:11,208
in really high concentrations.
485
00:24:11,375 --> 00:24:13,583
Having this high
amount of nitrogen
486
00:24:13,708 --> 00:24:17,875
puts it into a, "Wow, that's a
very peculiar rock" category.
487
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,792
We were looking for a
possible extraterrestrial origin.
488
00:24:21,917 --> 00:24:24,542
Is it possibly a
meteorite or even
489
00:24:24,667 --> 00:24:27,208
part of a spaceship
that exploded?
490
00:24:29,208 --> 00:24:32,000
Let's just say that there's
a possibility that it came
491
00:24:32,125 --> 00:24:33,750
from off the Earth.
492
00:24:33,875 --> 00:24:37,000
As we scientists say,
"It's worth more study."
493
00:24:38,250 --> 00:24:41,500
Although the
skystones are still a mystery,
494
00:24:41,667 --> 00:24:43,625
David and Jared have confirmed
495
00:24:43,708 --> 00:24:46,625
that they are unlike any
other stone ever examined.
496
00:24:47,792 --> 00:24:50,458
Could they have arrived on
Earth with the strange beings
497
00:24:50,583 --> 00:24:53,458
that are depicted in
the Nomoli statues?
498
00:24:53,542 --> 00:24:56,583
Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes,
499
00:24:56,708 --> 00:24:59,667
and they claim that further
evidence of extraterrestrial
500
00:24:59,833 --> 00:25:02,667
visitation in the distant past
501
00:25:02,792 --> 00:25:06,917
can be found in one of the
most remote places in the world.
502
00:25:11,875 --> 00:25:13,559
On Ancient Aliens we have
traveled around the world
503
00:25:13,583 --> 00:25:16,458
to get a closer look
at mysterious artifacts.
504
00:25:16,542 --> 00:25:19,750
And sometimes, we find
evidence of alien contact
505
00:25:19,875 --> 00:25:21,458
hiding in plain sight.
506
00:25:21,583 --> 00:25:23,667
This is exactly what happened
507
00:25:23,792 --> 00:25:25,167
when David Childress
and I traveled
508
00:25:25,292 --> 00:25:28,125
to the remote Marquesas
Islands and were shown
509
00:25:28,208 --> 00:25:31,708
an ancient statue that, as
far as we were concerned,
510
00:25:31,833 --> 00:25:34,042
clearly represents something
511
00:25:34,208 --> 00:25:38,708
very different from what
mainstream scholars suggest.
512
00:25:44,208 --> 00:25:46,417
Ancient astronaut theorists
513
00:25:46,542 --> 00:25:49,208
Giorgio Tsoukalos
and David Childress
514
00:25:49,375 --> 00:25:53,875
are in the Marquesas Islands,
investigating potential evidence
515
00:25:54,042 --> 00:25:55,583
that this remote
part of the world
516
00:25:55,708 --> 00:25:59,583
was once inhabited by
extraterrestrial visitors.
517
00:26:01,417 --> 00:26:02,708
Hello.
518
00:26:04,375 --> 00:26:05,655
It's good to see you.
519
00:26:06,625 --> 00:26:07,851
- Yeah.
- Okay.
520
00:26:07,875 --> 00:26:08,934
As their local guide,
521
00:26:08,958 --> 00:26:10,792
they've enlisted
Hiva Oa resident
522
00:26:10,917 --> 00:26:12,917
Heimata Bonno who will show them
523
00:26:13,042 --> 00:26:15,500
some of the
mysterious sculptures
524
00:26:15,667 --> 00:26:18,333
found on the island,
known as tikis.
525
00:26:18,417 --> 00:26:22,125
These statuaries represent the
ancestral gods and goddesses
526
00:26:22,208 --> 00:26:25,375
that came to the
islands in ancient times.
527
00:26:26,333 --> 00:26:28,708
- This is incredible.
- Yeah.
528
00:26:28,875 --> 00:26:31,292
So what are
we looking at here? What is this?
529
00:26:46,125 --> 00:26:48,750
Oh, it totally
looks like a llama.
530
00:26:50,917 --> 00:26:52,917
I totally
think this looks like a llama.
531
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,000
I mean, there is no
question in my mind.
532
00:26:56,125 --> 00:26:59,292
And I also don't think
that this was altered.
533
00:26:59,375 --> 00:27:00,833
This is original.
534
00:27:00,917 --> 00:27:03,000
And I don't see any changes.
535
00:27:03,125 --> 00:27:06,500
So either this is not authentic,
536
00:27:06,625 --> 00:27:08,958
or if it is authentic
it's a llama,
537
00:27:09,083 --> 00:27:12,333
and it proves connection
to-to South America.
538
00:27:13,875 --> 00:27:15,667
South America?
539
00:27:15,833 --> 00:27:18,083
Is it possible that the llama,
540
00:27:18,208 --> 00:27:20,333
believed to be native
to South America,
541
00:27:20,458 --> 00:27:24,125
was known to people living
on this remote island chain
542
00:27:24,208 --> 00:27:27,083
some 3,500 miles away?
543
00:27:27,208 --> 00:27:28,333
But how?
544
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,750
Some people say that
545
00:27:31,875 --> 00:27:33,208
it's a woman giving birth.
546
00:27:34,250 --> 00:27:35,542
Do the women here
547
00:27:35,667 --> 00:27:37,307
in the Marquesas
islands, do they do this?
548
00:27:37,333 --> 00:27:39,333
They lie on their
stomach and give birth?
549
00:27:40,375 --> 00:27:41,375
No.
550
00:27:42,583 --> 00:27:44,833
This is crazy. Huh.
551
00:27:44,958 --> 00:27:49,167
To me, it looks like
something from the sky.
552
00:27:49,792 --> 00:27:52,958
It's like...
Maybe some flying vehicle.
553
00:27:54,167 --> 00:27:56,083
- It's a great question.
- Yeah.
554
00:27:57,208 --> 00:27:58,968
Perhaps
what we're looking at here
555
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:00,667
is some type of a craft.
556
00:28:00,792 --> 00:28:02,875
Because you have
the windows in the front,
557
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,125
which are these giant goggles
558
00:28:05,208 --> 00:28:07,417
and then you have
the mouth in the front
559
00:28:07,542 --> 00:28:10,750
which to me it looks like
some type of an air intake.
560
00:28:11,833 --> 00:28:14,542
Underneath you
have a lifting body
561
00:28:14,708 --> 00:28:17,000
that goes underneath
the entire body.
562
00:28:17,167 --> 00:28:22,375
And if you combine that
with the story of this object
563
00:28:22,500 --> 00:28:24,208
or this woman giving birth,
564
00:28:24,375 --> 00:28:27,167
if someone has never seen
565
00:28:27,250 --> 00:28:30,417
passengers disembarking
from an actual airplane...
566
00:28:31,542 --> 00:28:34,542
if they have no idea
what is happening,
567
00:28:34,667 --> 00:28:36,792
well, all of a sudden...
568
00:28:37,958 --> 00:28:41,167
a flying vehicle is
giving birth to people.
569
00:28:41,292 --> 00:28:44,167
Is it possible
that this ancient statue
570
00:28:44,292 --> 00:28:46,625
that has been interpreted
in modern times
571
00:28:46,708 --> 00:28:48,333
as a fertility goddess
572
00:28:48,417 --> 00:28:53,208
is actually depicting an
extraterrestrial spacecraft?
573
00:28:54,125 --> 00:28:56,792
I think that tikis
are nothing else
574
00:28:56,875 --> 00:28:59,125
but misunderstood technology
575
00:28:59,250 --> 00:29:03,875
that over time turned
into divine objects
576
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,792
of magic and sorcery.
577
00:29:15,042 --> 00:29:16,292
Can we go look at it?
578
00:29:16,375 --> 00:29:17,375
Great.
579
00:29:21,042 --> 00:29:22,083
Oh, wow.
580
00:29:25,042 --> 00:29:27,083
Clearly this tiki,
the head is missing.
581
00:29:28,292 --> 00:29:30,958
But I see that it
has six fingers.
582
00:29:40,375 --> 00:29:45,250
It's very feasible to me that
they actually tried to imitate
583
00:29:45,375 --> 00:29:49,500
whoever visited or whoever
came here to impart this knowledge.
584
00:29:50,875 --> 00:29:55,333
Why would they carve six fingers
if they did not see six fingers?
585
00:29:55,500 --> 00:29:58,708
So we should not say,
"Oh, this is just fantasy."
586
00:29:58,833 --> 00:30:02,500
I think they saw
someone with six fingers.
587
00:30:02,583 --> 00:30:04,333
Is that possible?
588
00:30:04,417 --> 00:30:05,417
Yeah.
589
00:30:05,542 --> 00:30:07,125
Yes.
590
00:30:16,083 --> 00:30:18,292
So these are protectors.
591
00:30:26,292 --> 00:30:28,583
Could it be
that the mysterious statues
592
00:30:28,708 --> 00:30:31,917
and carvings found throughout
the Marquesas Islands
593
00:30:32,042 --> 00:30:36,042
were made to commemorate
extraterrestrial visitation?
594
00:30:37,375 --> 00:30:40,625
Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes,
595
00:30:40,708 --> 00:30:45,417
and suggest further evidence
of alien contact can be found
596
00:30:45,542 --> 00:30:49,542
by examining strange
skulls made of crystal.
597
00:30:55,833 --> 00:30:57,250
Of the many mysterious artifacts
598
00:30:57,375 --> 00:30:59,542
we've investigated
on Ancient Aliens,
599
00:30:59,667 --> 00:31:03,000
some of the most jaw-dropping
are the crystal skulls.
600
00:31:03,167 --> 00:31:05,542
Crystal skulls have been
found all around the world
601
00:31:05,708 --> 00:31:07,000
and some of them have been
602
00:31:07,167 --> 00:31:09,375
carved with such
extraordinary precision that,
603
00:31:09,542 --> 00:31:12,667
in my opinion, they
must have been created
604
00:31:12,833 --> 00:31:15,292
with some type of
advanced technology.
605
00:31:15,417 --> 00:31:18,708
In 2013, David
Childress got to examine
606
00:31:18,833 --> 00:31:22,625
the largest crystal
skull ever discovered.
607
00:31:25,958 --> 00:31:27,875
This is Einstein,
608
00:31:28,042 --> 00:31:31,542
believed to be the
largest ancient crystal skull
609
00:31:31,667 --> 00:31:33,083
as yet discovered.
610
00:31:34,125 --> 00:31:37,042
Its owner, Carolyn
Ford, says she obtained
611
00:31:37,208 --> 00:31:40,500
the 33-pound crystal object
more than 20 years ago
612
00:31:40,625 --> 00:31:45,375
from an explorer who discovered
it in Mexico in the early 1900s.
613
00:31:46,542 --> 00:31:50,208
She was unaware that it
possessed any strange abilities
614
00:31:50,375 --> 00:31:52,458
until the day when, she claims,
615
00:31:52,583 --> 00:31:55,333
it actually
communicated with her.
616
00:31:55,500 --> 00:31:57,833
It was
revealed to me by Einstein
617
00:31:57,958 --> 00:31:59,333
at the moment that I got him
618
00:31:59,500 --> 00:32:01,667
when I knew nothing
about crystal skulls, he said,
619
00:32:01,750 --> 00:32:06,000
"I'm an ancient computer. In
fact, I'm a master computer.
620
00:32:08,875 --> 00:32:11,708
And we record everything,
621
00:32:11,875 --> 00:32:14,667
like a live feed, 24/7.
622
00:32:14,792 --> 00:32:16,542
And that's our purpose."
623
00:32:17,625 --> 00:32:20,458
He's been recording
history on this planet
624
00:32:20,542 --> 00:32:25,000
since the beginning of time,
so indeed he was in Atlantis.
625
00:32:26,042 --> 00:32:29,125
A lot of the ancient
crystal skulls have been
626
00:32:29,208 --> 00:32:32,417
in Atlantis, and
even before that time.
627
00:32:33,708 --> 00:32:36,083
Could the
so-called Einstein skull
628
00:32:36,208 --> 00:32:37,708
really be an artifact
629
00:32:37,833 --> 00:32:42,542
from the lost civilization of
Atlantis as its owner claims?
630
00:32:46,042 --> 00:32:49,167
Sedona, Arizona.
631
00:32:50,083 --> 00:32:51,667
2013.
632
00:32:53,083 --> 00:32:56,333
It's very clear
down here, and then it gets cloudy.
633
00:32:56,458 --> 00:32:59,042
Ancient
astronaut theorist David Childress
634
00:32:59,167 --> 00:33:01,500
enlists the help of
aura photography
635
00:33:01,625 --> 00:33:03,292
expert Jamie Jones
636
00:33:03,375 --> 00:33:06,000
in an effort to test
the Einstein skull
637
00:33:06,125 --> 00:33:09,042
for unusual energy
pulses or auras.
638
00:33:10,125 --> 00:33:13,542
These auras are believed
to appear as colors
639
00:33:13,708 --> 00:33:17,167
that correspond to
various physical, emotional,
640
00:33:17,250 --> 00:33:19,583
mental and spiritual states.
641
00:33:20,750 --> 00:33:23,292
With aura
technology, we're able to use
642
00:33:23,417 --> 00:33:25,500
biofeedback imaging to
pick up electromagnetic
643
00:33:25,667 --> 00:33:28,250
energy field around
the human body.
644
00:33:28,375 --> 00:33:30,000
I'm not expecting any energy
645
00:33:30,125 --> 00:33:31,792
to be coming out of
the inanimate object.
646
00:33:31,917 --> 00:33:33,167
So I'm a little skeptical
647
00:33:33,250 --> 00:33:36,125
in that I'm not
sure what to expect
648
00:33:36,208 --> 00:33:38,167
when I photograph the skull.
649
00:33:38,292 --> 00:33:40,333
And I've been told a
lot of things about skulls,
650
00:33:40,458 --> 00:33:42,333
as far as information
that they're holding,
651
00:33:42,500 --> 00:33:44,167
what civilizations they're from,
652
00:33:44,333 --> 00:33:46,226
or if they're actually
from the extraterrestrials.
653
00:33:46,250 --> 00:33:48,125
So I'm kind of excited to see
654
00:33:48,250 --> 00:33:50,083
this particular skull
and what it emits.
655
00:33:51,083 --> 00:33:52,500
- Hi, Jamie.
- Hi.
656
00:33:52,667 --> 00:33:53,500
Hey.
657
00:33:53,583 --> 00:33:54,958
And this is Carolyn, and wow,
658
00:33:55,042 --> 00:33:56,167
here is the skull.
659
00:33:56,292 --> 00:33:57,667
Wow, this is fabulous.
660
00:33:57,833 --> 00:33:59,684
- So what do we do?
- These are biofeedback censors
661
00:33:59,708 --> 00:34:01,268
and they're gonna
be reading the energy,
662
00:34:01,292 --> 00:34:02,559
if there's energy
around the skull.
663
00:34:02,583 --> 00:34:04,750
So you're gonna
place it on here for me.
664
00:34:04,875 --> 00:34:06,458
Perfect.
665
00:34:06,542 --> 00:34:08,000
So it has to go on both
666
00:34:08,125 --> 00:34:09,500
of the two sensors?
667
00:34:09,625 --> 00:34:11,309
Yes, because both sensors
are picking up energy,
668
00:34:11,333 --> 00:34:13,125
so we want as much
coverage as possible.
669
00:34:14,125 --> 00:34:15,434
- Okay, that's perfect.
- All right.
670
00:34:15,458 --> 00:34:18,000
And now, uh, you just
take a photo of it, huh?
671
00:34:18,125 --> 00:34:19,542
We're gonna take a picture.
672
00:34:19,708 --> 00:34:21,250
All right.
673
00:34:27,708 --> 00:34:29,500
All right.
674
00:34:29,583 --> 00:34:31,792
- And here is the aura of the skull.
- Oh, wow.
675
00:34:31,917 --> 00:34:34,226
- Okay, wow.
- Whoa, look at those colors.
676
00:34:34,250 --> 00:34:35,750
That is amazing.
677
00:34:35,875 --> 00:34:37,167
- It's amazing.
- Really?
678
00:34:37,333 --> 00:34:38,684
- Oh.
- So, what are we looking at here?
679
00:34:38,708 --> 00:34:40,500
I mean, here we
can see the skull.
680
00:34:40,667 --> 00:34:43,083
It seems to be very strong,
warrior type protective energy.
681
00:34:43,208 --> 00:34:44,292
And if you look closely,
682
00:34:44,417 --> 00:34:46,500
that energy is arced over.
683
00:34:46,667 --> 00:34:49,292
- Right.
- Literal arc of protection over the skull.
684
00:34:49,417 --> 00:34:52,667
Now, the blue that we see
throughout the entire picture
685
00:34:52,750 --> 00:34:54,625
is wisdom and knowledge
686
00:34:54,750 --> 00:34:57,542
from traveling many lifetimes
and many dimensions.
687
00:34:58,833 --> 00:35:01,083
I was surprised,
really, that the aura camera
688
00:35:01,208 --> 00:35:02,500
would pick up so much energy
689
00:35:02,625 --> 00:35:04,667
from the skull and
the different colors.
690
00:35:05,750 --> 00:35:07,167
Some people believe
691
00:35:07,292 --> 00:35:12,042
that crystal skulls have
electro radio wave type
692
00:35:12,167 --> 00:35:15,042
energy that emits from them.
693
00:35:15,208 --> 00:35:17,542
And that the skull can
actually communicate
694
00:35:17,667 --> 00:35:20,917
to people through this energy.
695
00:35:21,042 --> 00:35:24,375
And it seems that
aura photography
696
00:35:24,500 --> 00:35:27,542
can actually pick
up and we can see
697
00:35:27,708 --> 00:35:31,333
these waves that are
being emitted from the skull.
698
00:35:31,417 --> 00:35:35,167
I feel, more than ever,
there is something
699
00:35:35,250 --> 00:35:37,583
to crystal skulls and
the energy behind them.
700
00:35:39,333 --> 00:35:42,708
Does the photographed
energy field surrounding Einstein
701
00:35:42,833 --> 00:35:45,458
help to prove that
the crystal skull could,
702
00:35:45,542 --> 00:35:49,292
in fact, be some sort
of recording device?
703
00:35:49,417 --> 00:35:52,333
An extraterrestrial
object used to harness
704
00:35:52,458 --> 00:35:54,708
both energy and information?
705
00:35:55,875 --> 00:35:58,833
Although there have been
hundreds of other crystal skulls
706
00:35:58,958 --> 00:36:00,292
found throughout the world,
707
00:36:00,375 --> 00:36:03,250
the Einstein Skull
is believed to be
708
00:36:03,375 --> 00:36:06,667
one of only 13 authentic
ancient artifacts.
709
00:36:06,792 --> 00:36:08,583
And according to legend,
710
00:36:08,708 --> 00:36:11,250
when all 13 are
finally unearthed,
711
00:36:11,375 --> 00:36:14,500
humankind's true
past will be revealed.
712
00:36:14,625 --> 00:36:18,833
Part of this legend
is that yes, these 13 crystal skulls
713
00:36:18,958 --> 00:36:20,250
are extraterrestrial skulls.
714
00:36:20,375 --> 00:36:23,375
And when the 13
skulls are together,
715
00:36:23,500 --> 00:36:26,792
it'll create a new
epoch for planet Earth.
716
00:36:27,875 --> 00:36:29,309
There is certainly a belief
717
00:36:29,333 --> 00:36:31,167
amongst certain
Native American tribes,
718
00:36:31,292 --> 00:36:33,917
when humanity is
at its most desperate,
719
00:36:34,042 --> 00:36:35,500
all of these original
720
00:36:35,625 --> 00:36:40,042
ancient crystal skulls
will come back together
721
00:36:40,208 --> 00:36:44,500
and that they will divulge
their knowledge, their wisdom
722
00:36:44,625 --> 00:36:47,792
that can help the
human race survive.
723
00:36:49,583 --> 00:36:52,333
Could these
mysterious crystal artifacts
724
00:36:52,417 --> 00:36:54,708
not only be of alien origin,
725
00:36:54,833 --> 00:36:58,958
but serve a purpose that
has yet to be revealed?
726
00:37:00,125 --> 00:37:02,792
Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes,
727
00:37:02,875 --> 00:37:06,167
and suggest further
proof that extraterrestrials
728
00:37:06,333 --> 00:37:09,125
visited ancient cultures
all over the world
729
00:37:09,250 --> 00:37:11,042
can be found by examining
730
00:37:11,167 --> 00:37:13,583
a mysterious Middle
Eastern artifact
731
00:37:13,708 --> 00:37:16,417
discovered in South America.
732
00:37:22,333 --> 00:37:23,601
Any list of mysterious artifacts
733
00:37:23,625 --> 00:37:25,167
would be incomplete
without featuring
734
00:37:25,250 --> 00:37:26,292
the amazing relics
735
00:37:26,417 --> 00:37:28,167
of Tiahuanaco, Bolivia.
736
00:37:28,333 --> 00:37:30,500
Of all the astounding objects
737
00:37:30,625 --> 00:37:33,167
we've examined from
there on Ancient Aliens,
738
00:37:33,292 --> 00:37:34,542
one of the most baffling
739
00:37:34,667 --> 00:37:36,792
is the Fuente Magna Bowl.
740
00:37:36,917 --> 00:37:38,875
This beautiful piece
of pottery is covered
741
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,708
in an ancient script that
is native not to Bolivia
742
00:37:42,833 --> 00:37:47,875
but to a culture that existed
on the other side of the world.
743
00:37:51,667 --> 00:37:55,292
Situated at an elevation
of over 12,000 feet
744
00:37:55,375 --> 00:37:58,333
on the Altiplano, lay the ruins
745
00:37:58,458 --> 00:38:00,958
of an ancient temple
complex thought to predate
746
00:38:01,042 --> 00:38:02,625
the Incan Empire.
747
00:38:03,708 --> 00:38:07,542
Standing at the center
of the site is a large statue
748
00:38:07,667 --> 00:38:11,625
believed by many to represent
the creator god Viracocha.
749
00:38:11,750 --> 00:38:13,375
But curiously,
750
00:38:13,500 --> 00:38:17,167
the inhabitants of Tiahuanaco
chose to depict this god
751
00:38:17,292 --> 00:38:19,958
with features unlike their own.
752
00:38:20,083 --> 00:38:24,625
He has got
a beard and a moustache.
753
00:38:24,708 --> 00:38:26,583
And that is an unusual thing
754
00:38:26,708 --> 00:38:30,375
because American Indians do
not have beards and moustaches.
755
00:38:30,500 --> 00:38:31,708
Exactly.
756
00:38:31,833 --> 00:38:34,000
That indicates that this person
757
00:38:34,125 --> 00:38:35,833
was not a South American native
758
00:38:35,958 --> 00:38:37,583
but clearly came
from another land.
759
00:38:37,708 --> 00:38:40,333
And an important person too,
760
00:38:40,417 --> 00:38:43,208
who's somehow
one of the founders
761
00:38:43,375 --> 00:38:46,167
here of Tiahuanaco.
762
00:38:46,333 --> 00:38:51,625
Maybe even somebody who's
come from Sumeria to South America.
763
00:38:53,542 --> 00:38:55,792
Is it
possible that the Sumerians,
764
00:38:55,875 --> 00:38:59,458
a civilization
established in 4,000 BC
765
00:38:59,583 --> 00:39:02,833
and located nearly
8,000 miles away
766
00:39:02,917 --> 00:39:06,667
could be connected to the
early inhabitants of Tiahuanaco?
767
00:39:07,833 --> 00:39:09,917
If so, how?
768
00:39:11,083 --> 00:39:12,750
Ancient astronaut theorists
769
00:39:12,875 --> 00:39:16,500
believe the answer can be found
at the Precious Metals Museum
770
00:39:16,667 --> 00:39:18,667
in La Paz, Bolivia.
771
00:39:19,125 --> 00:39:20,500
This is perhaps
772
00:39:20,667 --> 00:39:22,627
one of the most important
archaeological artifacts
773
00:39:22,750 --> 00:39:26,042
ever discovered in
Tiahuanaco or Puma Punku.
774
00:39:27,708 --> 00:39:31,167
This is the famous
Fuente Magna Bowl
775
00:39:31,333 --> 00:39:33,667
discovered near Tiahuanaco.
776
00:39:34,708 --> 00:39:38,458
It's a ceramic bowl
and it has written on it
777
00:39:38,542 --> 00:39:40,750
Sumerian cuneiform
778
00:39:40,875 --> 00:39:46,000
plus proto-Sumerian
hieroglyphic script.
779
00:39:46,083 --> 00:39:51,000
This script is coming
from circa 3,000 BC.
780
00:39:53,500 --> 00:39:55,958
It draws a direct connection
781
00:39:56,042 --> 00:40:01,042
between the ancient Sumerians
and Tiahuanaco and Puma Punku.
782
00:40:02,417 --> 00:40:06,958
Discovered near Lake
Titicaca by a local farmer in the 1950s,
783
00:40:07,083 --> 00:40:10,083
researchers believe the
vessel provides the proof
784
00:40:10,208 --> 00:40:14,000
of extraterrestrial
intervention at Puma Punku.
785
00:40:15,667 --> 00:40:17,042
The idea of Sumerian
786
00:40:17,167 --> 00:40:21,750
writing being here
at Puma Punku and Tiahuanaco...
787
00:40:23,125 --> 00:40:26,208
would seem to relate to the late
788
00:40:26,333 --> 00:40:30,333
Zecharia Sitchin and his ideas
789
00:40:30,417 --> 00:40:33,958
that the Sumerians
were also interacting
790
00:40:34,083 --> 00:40:35,958
with these space beings
791
00:40:36,083 --> 00:40:38,042
called the Anunnaki.
792
00:40:38,167 --> 00:40:42,333
So in that case the Anunnaki
were there in Sumeria,
793
00:40:42,458 --> 00:40:48,167
but also here at Puma Punku
and Tiahuanaco in South America.
794
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,458
To me, when you consider
the many mysterious artifacts
795
00:40:54,542 --> 00:40:56,625
we've examined
on Ancient Aliens,
796
00:40:56,708 --> 00:40:59,667
from bizarre metal alloys
797
00:40:59,750 --> 00:41:01,500
to strange statues
798
00:41:01,625 --> 00:41:03,500
and even crystal skulls,
799
00:41:03,583 --> 00:41:06,750
it all adds up to one thing:
800
00:41:06,875 --> 00:41:10,208
Undeniable evidence of
extraterrestrial visitation.
801
00:41:11,292 --> 00:41:13,250
As we continue to dig deeper
802
00:41:13,375 --> 00:41:16,750
and unearth more extraordinary
relics of the past,
803
00:41:16,875 --> 00:41:19,500
perhaps we will finally discover
804
00:41:19,625 --> 00:41:23,333
the key to reuniting
with our alien ancestors.
805
