Original subtitles

NARRATOR: Mysterious stone heads.

GEORGE NOORY: How in the heck did they make these?

Where did they come from?

And how did they move them?

NARRATOR: Ancient monuments containing 100-ton blocks.

PHILIP COPPENS: Some of the stones are of such magnitude,

modern machinery is incapable of putting them there.

NARRATOR: And solid granite cut with incredible precision.

GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS: We ourselves today

could not replicate what our ancestors

allegedly accomplished with stonemasonry.

NARRATOR: Throughout the world,

there are giant structures

that have baffled archaeologists.

Could they really have been constructed

using primitive tools?

Or might they be the product of alien technology?

ERICH VON DANIKEN: Extraterrestrials would not have left without any proof.

They wanted that in the far future we start to reflect,

have we been visited by outer space?

NARRATOR: Millions of people around the world

believe we have been visited in the past

by extraterrestrial beings.

What if it were true?

Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history?

And if so,

might they have a connection

to the world's most mysterious structures?

On the northwest coast of France,

just south of Brittany,

lies one of the most important prehistoric sites in Europe.

At the seaside village of Carnac,

over 3,000 megalithic stones

are placed in rows over two miles long.

The Carnac stones

were hewn from local rock formations

and erected between 4500

to 2500 BC, at the end of the Stone Age.

They are the largest collection of standing stones in the world.

DAVID CHILDRESS: Archaeologists are baffled

by the many megaliths at Carnac here.

It's clearly a massive construction project with

blocks of granite weighing 50 to 100,

to even up to 350 tons.

Legends here say that giants built Carnac.

But you have to wonder,

what is the real purpose

of these giant megaliths,

and why would prehistoric people

have moved all of these massive stones

and placed them in the many alignments here at Carnac?

MICHAEL CREMO: Thousands of large stones have been

arranged in very interesting patterns.

They're arranged in intersecting lines

that form triangles

that could only be visible from above the earth.

These arrangements of stones

may have been a way of communicating

with extraterrestrial beings.

NARRATOR: The ancient Greek poet Pindar

spoke of a mystical land called Hyperborea,

far to the north,

where the sun shined 24 hours a day.

Legends claim that Apollo visited Hyperborea,

traveling in his chariot of fire every 20 years.

TSOUKALOS: Apollo would tell to the Greeks, okay,

I'm gonna go see some other people,

I've got to go and teach them.

And they're like, well, where are you off to?

And he's like, well, I'm actually going to a place that's

beyond where the north wind comes.

It's the land of the Hyperboreans.

NARRATOR: Although mainstream archaeologists

speculate that the Carnac stones are most likely tomb markers,

ancient astronaut theorists believe these stones

are intentionally laid out in a unique geometric formation.

VON DANIKEN: Many speculations existed since centuries.

And only a few years ago,

in France, they started to photograph

this whole French Brittany by helicopters.

And when they put the pictures together,

all of a sudden someone realized,

hey, this is not coincidence.

The distances of the lines

are always the same...

2,860 meters,

or exactly the half of 2,860 meters.

The angles are always the same.

It's Pythagorean triangles.

It's all a gigantic geometrical pattern

from Stone Age, which is impossible.

Our Stone Age people had no idea of Pythagoras' triangles.

Pythagoras was about 420 BC.

NARRATOR: Even though the geometric arrangement of the Carnac stones

predates the Pythagorean theorem by more than 2,000 years,

one question remains.

Why were the stones arranged in such a precise pattern?

CHILDRESS: The Carnac Stones are one of the few things

on the planet that can actually be seen from space.

And they're a perfect marker for any kind of aerial vehicle

looking down on the earth.

Many of the tourists who come here to Carnac

claim that they can actually feel the energy

emanating from these granite megaliths.

How did these ancient people

know about this energy?

And is it possible that they were able to

use this energy to even

move and erect these giant stones?

VON DANIKEN: I am of the opinion

that they were made on purpose.

The extraterrestrials told our ancestor, do this, and this.

It's not the extraterrestrials who made the stone lines.

It's the humans who made it,

but by the order of the extraterrestrials.

NARRATOR: But were the Carnac stones a signpost

for an ancient astronaut called Apollo

as he flew his spacecraft high above the land?

CHILDRESS: If the Greek god Apollo

was really some kind of ancient astronaut,

it's possible that the stones here at Carnac

were a directional finder

pointing the way to the far north,

to the Hyperborea of the ancient gods.

NARRATOR: Over 1,000 miles north of Carnac

lies Scandinavia,

home to an ancient people called the Norse.

The Norse were tribal Germanic people

who lived in what is now known as Sweden, Denmark,

Iceland and Norway.

Norse legends record the triumphs of great warriors

with advanced weaponry,

sophisticated combat techniques,

and navigational prowess.

Like the Greeks,

Norse mythology includes supernatural beings,

other worlds and powerful gods.

But like the Romans,

could the Norse myths refer not to different gods,

but the same gods as those depicted by the ancient Greeks?

CHILDRESS: There are a number of similarities

between Greek mythology and Norse mythology,

and many of the gods are, uh, almost identical.

And they do much the same thing.

NARRATOR: Descriptions of the Viking god Odin,

the god of war, death and knowledge...

and the Greek god Zeus, bear striking similarities.

JONATHAN YOUNG: Zeus and Odin

are both sky father gods.

They travel through the skies in chariots

because they are akin to the solar, uh, divinities.

The precursor to many, uh,

religious beliefs is sun worship.

The ancients knew that life came from the sun.

So that is a great mystery and a source of great awe.

COPPENS: What you're getting there is not just some minor deity,

but you really are nailing it down to one of the chief deities.

This is a very important character.

And so whoever is behind Odin

or Zeus is obviously a person or

a divine entity, which is shared by these cultures.

And it's clear that whoever inspired the myth of... of Zeus or Odin

is somehow somebody who had an extremely important contribution

to make to both civilizations.

So this entity was definitely known throughout Europe.

NARRATOR: Could the Norse and Greek gods

really have been the same extraterrestrial beings?

Did they use the megalithic stones at Carnac

as a directional marker

that could be seen from high above the earth?

And if so,

is it possible that this site...

and other megalithic structures around the world...

really were built with the help of otherworldly technology?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,

and claim further proof can be found

by examining megalithic rocks

in Bolivia cut with incredible precision.

NARRATOR: Palm Springs, California.

Master stonemason and sculptor Roger Hopkins

uses a variety of advanced tools to cut and shape hard stones.

Powered implements

such as diamond-tipped wires and polishers

enable him to fashion works of art

out of huge granite blocks obtained from nearby quarries.

Yet even with these high-tech tools,

Hopkins cannot replicate

what ancient civilizations accomplished thousands of years ago.

Could these advanced engineering methods

be the smoking gun that proves

humans had help from alien beings?

ROGER HOPKINS: The precision on some of the work that I've seen is just...

incredible.

It's possible to do by hand,

but it'd take an incredible amount of time.

Plus, you have to have years of experience

to be able to pull it off.

TSOUKALOS: In my opinion, the most tangible pieces of evidence that we have

regarding possible extraterrestrial technology

is when we look at the ancient stonecutting techniques.

Because, in some instances,

we ourselves today could not replicate

what our ancestors allegedly accomplished with stonemasonry.

NARRATOR: Puma Punku

is a large temple complex located on a high plateau in Bolivia.

Mainstream archaeologists

date the site from approximately 200 BC.

The people who lived here

had neither a written language nor the wheel,

yet somehow they built one of the world's most complex structures.

Ancient alien theorists view Puma Punku

as clear proof of extraterrestrial influence.

TSOUKALOS: The ruins we find at Puma Punku

are simply extraordinary.

Puma Punku defies logic.

COPPENS: The interest of Puma Punku is not so much

that the individual stones sorted together perfectly

but the fact that the stones, as such,

are of such tremendous design

that it requires concepts of mathematics

which are far beyond anything we are actually using right now.

Yet somehow in the past,

somebody has made that for a specific purpose,

and in a way which even

computer programs today would kind of go, how is this possible?

TSOUKALOS: In the highlands of Bolivia, Puma Punku.

Some of these blocks are

over 40 to 50 tons each.

What can you tell us about this?

HOPKINS: Boy, they...

they had their, uh, stonecutting abilities,

you know, pretty well fine-tuned for 5,000 years old.

I mean, uh,

it's almost unbelievable.

But the... these cutting planes that they have on here are very impressive.

And some of the incise cuts.

See like in... in here,

all these interior cuts, very hard to do.

I mean, it would be difficult for us...

with the... our equipment... to get that kind of precision.

- TSOUKALOS: Let's talk a little bit... - HOPKINS: God.

- TSOUKALOS: about inside boxes. - HOPKINS: Ooh,

I was afraid you were gonna pull something like this on me.

That is a hell of a piece of work.

I mean, if we were to do something like that today,

we'd use what they have these, uh,

computer-driven CNC machines which are...

have diamond tips and, uh,

you have a template that, you know, the computer follows.

And even then, it may not come out as perfect.

TSOUKALOS: Because, even though you can tell that

- obviously, this piece broke off... - HOPKINS: Mm-hmm.

TSOUKALOS: nowhere in here can you see any imperfection.

It's like... and by the way, when you're there,

if you go with your finger over these edges and you

put a little pressure on your fingertip, you can cut yourself.

This is how sharp the edges are.

NARRATOR: But where could the ancient peoples have developed such technology?

Is it really possible that extraterrestrial visitors

provided different construction methods and tools?

MIKE DUNN: When I saw these blocks,

I didn't really think that they were cut.

The first thing really that I thought of

was this appears very similar to Frank Lloyd Wright's

textile block system of construction

which he used in his California houses in the early 1920s.

Now, what he did was

he took concrete, poured it into molds.

TSOUKALOS: There actually are

ancient Incan legends

that suggest that they had the capability of softening the stone.

At Sacsayhuam�n, for example,

we find these gigantic stone blocks, gigantic stone walls

where it looks as if those stones

were molten, put into place,

and then the stone hardened again.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that the precision-cut stones at Puma Punku

are really the product of extraterrestrial technology?

Perhaps further clues can be found

halfway around the world,

with an ancient civilization that was found buried beneath the earth.

NARRATOR: Located more than 500 miles away from the crowded streets of Istanbul

is Sanliurfa, in southeastern Turkey.

There, in 1994, on a dusty hilltop,

a local shepherd noticed the tip of a stone sticking out of his field.

He began to dig,

eventually unearthing a 19-foot pillar.

Its edges were precise,

and rising from its center

was a relief carving of a strange animal.

Upon closer examination,

it appeared that the finely chiseled stone

had been fashioned by talented stonemasons,

working with advanced tools.

When word of the discovery reached the scientific community,

one fact became obvious:

a Kurdish shepherd had stumbled upon

what is perhaps the most astonishing archaeological discovery

in modern times... a site known as Gobekli Tepe.

LINDA HOWE: For 13 years,

a German archaeology team

has been meticulously going into a hill.

And they have been doing carbon dating,

as deep as they go.

It has taken them 13 years to uncover only five percent

of a gigantic civilization.

They know what's under the ground.

Circles upon circles

upon circles, perfect circles in stone.

And rising up out of those stone circles

are huge sculpted columns...

19 feet high, 15 tons per column.

NARRATOR: Test results have supported the idea

that Gobekli Tepe is nearly 12,000 years old,

almost 7,000 years older than Mesopotamia's Fertile Crescent,

long heralded as the cradle of civilization.

HOWE: In Gobekli Tepe,

the oldest advanced site now on our planet.

We know of no other site

that is this advanced.

And it has now doubled the history of humanity.

GRAHAM HANCOCK: And right there is this gigantic site

with huge megalithic circular structures.

It just stands there, a mystery,

asking us to go figure, how was this done?

What's the background to this?

We don't know who made them.

They just come out of the darkness of the last ice age...

where we know nothing... and enter the stage of history

already fully formed.

And to my mind, this is indicative of

a major forgotten episode in human history.

NARRATOR: Curiously,

after 13 years of digging,

archaeologists investigating the ancient site

have failed to recover a single stonecutting tool.

Nor have they found any agricultural implements.

HOWE: How in the world can you contemplate

19-foot-tall, perfectly sculpted columns

that are 11,000 to 12,000 years old,

and no tools.

NARRATOR: The mystery of Gobekli Tepe

is further compounded by the ancient stone

carvings found throughout the site.

They depict creatures like wild boars

and geese.

ANDREW COLLINS: We see various types of creatures...

different animals, birds,

insects and even abstract human forms

that seem to come together

to create this very weird menagerie

which has totally baffled the archaeologists

who have uncovered this site.

Now, what they represent is a matter of speculation,

but it's my intuition

that they may even represent a... ark in stone.

NARRATOR: Located less than 350 miles from Mount Ararat...

the site many biblical scholars believe to be the resting place of Noah's Ark...

the animal carvings of Gobekli Tepe

suggest a time in the region's history

when the indigenous animal population

may have been of a totally different origin.

But do these carvings actually provide historical proof

of the great flood that was described in the Bible?

HANCOCK: Archaeologists are aware

that there are more than 2,000 myths of a... a great flood,

which destroyed an earlier civilization.

NARRATOR: Some researchers theorize

that the events of a cataclysmic flood

and a story similar to that told of Noah's Ark

was recorded on the stone pillars of Gobekli Tepe.

If true,

that would push the date of the great flood

back to the end of the last ice age,

far earlier than the biblical period.

COLLINS: There is evidence that this may have ended

quite catastrophically.

There was a lot of things happening,

um, a lot of migrations, possibly waters rising up very quickly,

uh, a lot of rapid changes in lifestyles.

NARRATOR: But another perhaps even more profound question remains.

Who built Gobekli Tepe?

For what purpose?

And how did such an ancient site

remain in nearly pristine condition

for more than 10,000 years?

COPPENS: In the case of Gobekli Tepe, we find that the site

was carefully placed underneath sand.

This site was buried.

It appears as if somehow

the usage of Gobekli Tepe was no longer there

and that people moved on but had such a reverence

to this important site that rather than destroy it,

they put it to peace by burying it.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that the people at Gobekli Tepe

had such reverence for the site

because it really was built with the help of alien technology?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes

and claim further evidence that extraterrestrials

were behind the construction of the world's most mysterious structures

can be found in Lebanon,

by examining a site that dates back nearly 9,000 years.

NARRATOR: Eastern Lebanon,

the Bekaa Valley.

Here at this archaeological site

stand the ruins of Heliopolis,

built in the fourth century BC.

by Alexander the Great to honor Zeus.

But beneath the Corinthian columns

and remnants of both Greek and Roman architecture

lie the ruins of a site that is much, much older.

According to archaeologists,

it dates back nearly 9,000 years:

the ancient city of Baalbek,

named after the early Canaanite deity, Baal.

HANAN CHARAF: Baal is the god of life, the god of the sky, the god of the sun.

He was the god that was venerated

on the site of Baalbek during the Canaanite and the Phoenician times.

ROBERT MULLINS: And so, because it was already sacred to the god Baal,

then later the Greeks and the Romans then would build

temples on this very same spot.

NARRATOR: Archaeological surveys

have revealed that the enormous stone foundation

that lies at the base of the site

dates back tens of thousands of years.

CHARAF: Baalbek, as we know from the archaeological evidence,

must have existed during the Neolithic Period,

between 6000 to 8000 years or even 9000 years BC.

NARRATOR: But even more significant

to ancient astronaut theorists

is their belief that the colossal stone platform

may once have served as a landing pad for space travelers.

CHILDRESS: We don't know why Baalbek

was chosen as this specific site.

Uh, it may well be some kind of special power place.

But what was originally there

before the Roman temple

was this spaceport platform that was apparently used for

extraterrestrials coming and going on planet Earth.

NARRATOR: As evidence,

researchers point to the gigantic megalithic stones

incorporated into the foundation,

each weighing between 800 to 1,200 tons

and perfectly fitted together.

COPPENS: This is the real mystery of Baalbek,

how these stones came to be there,

why they were placed there and specifically

how they were transported into place,

because some of the stones are of such magnitude

that modern machinery is incapable of putting them there,

but somehow our ancestors were able to do this.

TSOUKALOS: Some have suggested that this stone alone

weighs in excess of 1,200 tons.

How was it moved there?

Because obviously it's situated

on top of these stone rows

that we can find down here,

which means that this stone

had to be lifted and then set on top of these stones down here.

CHARAF: And because these stones were gigantic,

ancient people assumed t

hat extraterrestrial or unknown forces brought them to the site itself.

BILL BIRNES: It is one of the oldest, oldest megalithic sites on the planet,

and it has these huge stones laid out

in a precise geometrical shape

at a time when the prehistoric people

who would have lived there,

who would have gone to the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon,

would have no concept of how to move stones of that nature.

NARRATOR: But if the moving, hoisting

and setting of such massive stones

was so incredibly difficult,

then who or what placed them there?

And perhaps more importantly:

Why?

COPPENS: We know that the ancients always went to power places,

and Baalbek clearly is one of them.

It is a place where the gods were worshipped,

where the gods were said to be present.

And so when it comes to Baalbek,

this platform was built there for a reason.

For what purpose it was used

is a question we can't answer at this moment in time.

But what we do know

is that whatever was happening there

had a great religious significance to them

and was linked with worshipping deities,

deities which clearly are of an otherworldly origin.

NARRATOR: Is it possible, as ancient astronaut theorists believe,

that Baalbek had been considered a sacred place for tens of thousands of years

because it was where extraterrestrial beings

first arrived on Earth?

Perhaps the answer can be found

by examining other megalithic stones on Easter Island.

NARRATOR: The South Pacific Ocean.

2,300 miles west of South America,

in one of the most remote places on Earth,

giant stone figures stand with their backs to the sea.

Called moai by the native inhabitants,

they are the silent sentinels of Easter Island.

CHRIS STEVENSON: The moais are scattered throughout the island,

and they're positioned on top of... of platforms, for the most part.

A moai is a...

is a stone sculpture of a deceased ancestor.

They were once living individuals

who ruled the society or led the society.

They were chiefs, and then, upon their death,

we believe that they've become represented in stone.

NARRATOR: Nearly 900 moai were carved between the 12th and 18th centuries.

Hewn with stone tools from volcanic rock,

the tallest stands a towering 33 feet high

and weighs a staggering 75 tons.

STEVENSON: They were probably even more unique... looking, uh, in the past.

They may have been painted.

And they also had large white coral eyes with obsidian pupils.

So it's a very effective way of kind of telling people,

not verbally but symbolically,

that someone's watching you and you should toe the line.

You should do what you're supposed to do.

NARRATOR: The people who created the moai

called themselves the Rapa Nui,

and mainstream historians

believe their Polynesian ancestors

came to the island in canoes

from across the vast Pacific Ocean

between 700 and 1100 A.D.

But over several centuries,

for reasons that are still unclear,

what was once an island paradise

withered into a treeless desert

stalked by famine, violence and, some say,

cannibalism.

When the first Europeans arrived in 1722,

the Rapa Nui culture had already been nearly wiped out,

and few could imagine how such primitive people

could have created the moai.

NOORY: How in the heck did they make these?

Where did they come from?

And how did they move them?

Nobody has the answer.

NARRATOR: Modern scientists have tried

and so far have failed

to duplicate the feats of the ancient Rapa Nui.

In 1987,

anthropologist Charles Love

used rollers to move a nine-ton moai replica

at Western Wyoming Community College.

Ready? On three.

One, two, three.

Come on. Come on.

Good!

Thank you. Whoa.

Only able to budge it about half an inch.

NARRATOR: Other researchers have tried pulling moai with sleds.

But there is a unique problem with the idea of moving moai

with sleds or rollers.

CHARLES LOVE: When you go to Easter Island,

you don't get the impression they had enough wood to have rollers.

And, in fact, in the 1700s,

the first four expeditions to Easter Island

never really saw a tree.

And so that's the real mystery of Easter Island.

How can you move a multi-ton statue

if you have no trees for rollers?

NARRATOR: According to the oral history of the Rapa Nui,

the moai were moved in a very unusual way.

LOVE: They all reply basically the same thing.

The moai walked to the ahu,

and that's the only explanation that they give.

NARRATOR: But who or what

had the power to make multi-ton moai

appear to walk to their ahu, or stone platforms?

In 1919,

British archaeologist Katherine Routledge,

who lived on Easter Island for a year,

recorded the legends and testimony

of an old woman who said the moai

were moved with a mystical energy called mana.

And, according to the oral histories of the Rapa Nui,

mana came from the gods.

TSOUKALOS: Mana was a direct gift of the gods

given to the Easter Islanders.

Was this mana really a type of magical force?

Of course not.

It was some type of misunderstood technology,

some type of a device, an extraterrestrial tool

with which you could move

those massive Easter Island heads rather easily.

NARRATOR: Did early inhabitants of Easter Island

really know how to unlock the secrets of gravity using mana?

And, if so,

where might such power over the physical world have come from?

Might these astounding abilities,

forever lost to time,

have been made possible by extraterrestrial visitors?

Perhaps further evidence can be found

with a mysterious structure in southern Florida

built from 30-ton coral blocks.

NARRATOR: Homestead, Florida,

30 miles south of Miami.

This former agricultural town

is home to one of the most mysterious structures in North America,

a stone garden made of sculpted blocks of ancient coral,

some weighing 30 tons.

It's called the Coral Castle.

Spread over several acres,

the complex formations

and intricate designs of the stone walls and sculptures marvel tourists.

But unlike other great structures around the world,

this site is not ancient.

CHILDRESS: Coral Castle in Florida is often said to be, uh,

the only modern megalithic structure ever built.

NARRATOR: In 1923,

Ed Leedskalnin, a Latvian immigrant,

began building what he originally called Rock Gate Park.

But believe it or not,

Leedskalnin insisted that he was not using modern machinery

to build the impressive structure.

He also claimed that he was working alone.

RUSTY McCLURE: Well, Ed was a hermit

and Ed was a loner

and he was a foreigner

and he was a recluse and a scientist.

NOORY: He was in love with a woman,

and he wanted to build this facility in memory of her.

And he waited for her to come from Europe, and he waited

and he waited, and she never did.

But the big question is, is how did this

frail little man

move these thousands of pounds of block by himself.

NARRATOR: Barely over five feet tall

and weighing just 100 pounds,

Leedskalnin is said to have carved,

moved and hoisted huge multi-ton stones

using only a makeshift tripod.

McCLURE: He has a tripod,

three pieces of Florida Pine

and he's got some chains, and he's now gonna lift 30 tons,

ten tons of rock... can't be done.

No one could do that.

NOORY: He would work at night...

he wouldn't let anybody watch him.

And he said that he knew the secrets of the pyramids.

NARRATOR: But what exactly was Leedskalnin referring to?

Had he rediscovered the same advanced technology

used to build megalithic structures like Carnac a

nd Gobekli Tepe?

McCLURE: Ed over and over again would tell people

that he knew the secrets that helped the Egyptians build the pyramids.

What was he talking about?

Why was he constantly harking back to the Egyptians?

We don't know.

NARRATOR: Leedskalnin continued work on the Coral Castle

until his death in 1951.

In the journals he left behind,

the builder explained

that he had discovered the ancient secret of transforming stones

into weightless objects.

McCLURE: Ed says this in his pamphlet, Magnetic Current,

that real gravity is actually real magnet.

So if you reverse the magnet forces

with a force of some kind of electromagnetic

radio, perhaps, frequency,

you can then make these rocks not as heavy

as they seem otherwise and therefore you can lift them.

NARRATOR: But if Leedskalnin had developed a device that could modify gravity,

what was his secret?

Some suggest the answer lies in a mysterious black box

that can be seen in various photographs,

a box that has since disappeared.

McCLURE: The black box sitting on top

is the element that no one has ever seen

except in those pictures, and no one has today.

We believe that black box

has something to do

with how he got these massive, heavy,

brittle pieces of rock up in the air

in a way that no one can duplicate.

NOORY: He had some kind of magnetic machine

down in one of his other house areas

that has since been dismantled, but it had a revolving ability.

He may have been having that thing spin.

The whole place could have been antigravity.

He probably just pushed these into place.

SARA SEAGER: Levitation is the only way that I know of

to hold up very heavy objects.

Very, very high-speed trains

are magnetically levitated.

These high-speed trains

don't have wheels that touch any tracks.

They're literally suspended above the track using magnetic forces.

JOHN BRANDENBURG: We can speculate at this time

that there are techniques

for using electromagnetism to nullify gravity.

Uh, this was the great quest of Einstein.

The motivation for such technology is, of course,

to lift a large spaceship out into space and across space.

All right.

(chuckles)

NARRATOR: Could it be that Ed Leedskalnin

utilized antigravity to levitate

and distribute the enormous rocks used to build Coral Castle?

If so,

where did this incredible knowledge come from?

COPPENS: And he died, taking this secret to his grave.

The question is, did he invent it,

or did he himself somehow inherit it or learn it from

a tradition or maybe from some visitor from another realm?

McCLURE: The only thing that is explainable

is that someone with a higher form of

physics and understanding of gravity

has created the ability of one person to lift

stones that modern technology could not do,

the way he did it.

It had to come from a different place in this galaxy.

TSOUKALOS: The fact that one guy

created these massive structures is absolutely fascinating.

Am I suggesting that

he did this with extraterrestrial technology?

No, because I don't know.

Am I excluding that possibility?

No.

NARRATOR: If aliens visited Earth in ancient times,

perhaps the world's mysterious stone structures

can provide clues

not only to mankind's past but to its future.

VON DANIKEN: I think that extraterrestrials would not have left

our solar system some thousands of years ago without any proof.

They wanted that in the far future we start to reflect,

"Have we been visited by outer space?"

NARRATOR: Could additional evidence still lie hidden

right before our eyes?

Evidence that, when found,

will prove once and for all

that we are not alone?
