All language subtitles for Ancient Aliens s06e21 Mysterious.eng

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?
