All of these are spherical. 62 00:03:33,713 --> 00:03:36,713 And if you look deeper, at the microscopic level, 63 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,338 at the atomic level, you have the same patterns 64 00:03:39,505 --> 00:03:42,338 of spheres as very important building blocks. 65 00:03:42,547 --> 00:03:44,838 So, this fascination with spheres 66 00:03:45,005 --> 00:03:46,213 might be a reflection of this. 67 00:03:47,255 --> 00:03:49,672 NARRATOR: What could explain why ancient people 68 00:03:49,838 --> 00:03:53,297 all over the world fashioned spheres out of stone? 69 00:03:53,505 --> 00:03:57,963 Perhaps further clues can be found by examining a discovery 70 00:03:58,130 --> 00:04:01,255 made deep in the jungles of Central America 71 00:04:01,380 --> 00:04:04,880 that defies explanation. 72 00:04:07,255 --> 00:04:11,422 Southwest Costa Rica, 1939. 73 00:04:12,422 --> 00:04:15,297 Workers with the United Fruit Company 74 00:04:15,422 --> 00:04:18,297 begin clearing the rainforest near the Diquis Delta 75 00:04:18,422 --> 00:04:20,255 for a new banana plantation. 76 00:04:21,380 --> 00:04:23,713 While making their way through the dense vegetation, 77 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:28,005 the workmen find dozens of giant stone spheres. 78 00:04:29,463 --> 00:04:33,047 They started to find these massive stone spheres 79 00:04:33,213 --> 00:04:35,505 that they had no clue why they were there. 80 00:04:36,672 --> 00:04:39,505 The instruction for them was, if you find anything, just move it. 81 00:04:39,630 --> 00:04:41,338 And they just started to move them. 82 00:04:41,505 --> 00:04:43,880 But they just kept appearing. 83 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:49,713 NARRATOR: In 1943, the archeological journal American Antiquity 84 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,463 published photos of the mysterious spheres, 85 00:04:52,630 --> 00:04:54,130 which caught the attention 86 00:04:54,297 --> 00:04:57,880 of American archaeologist Dr. Samuel Lothrop. 87 00:04:58,047 --> 00:05:02,672 Five years later, Dr. Lothrop led an excavation of the area 88 00:05:02,838 --> 00:05:06,463 and discovered hundreds of stone spheres. 89 00:05:06,672 --> 00:05:10,213 They range in size from just a few inches 90 00:05:10,380 --> 00:05:12,005 to more than six feet in diameter, 91 00:05:12,172 --> 00:05:14,672 and weigh up to 15 tons. 92 00:05:14,838 --> 00:05:18,588 Archeologists soon discovered stone spheres 93 00:05:18,755 --> 00:05:22,963 throughout the Diquis Delta, and on the nearby Isla del Caรฑo. 94 00:05:24,130 --> 00:05:25,672 Many were found with artifacts from 95 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,505 the ancient Indigenous Diquis culture, 96 00:05:28,713 --> 00:05:31,963 and are believed to be at least a thousand years old. 97 00:05:33,255 --> 00:05:35,963 About 300 have been discovered so far. 98 00:05:36,130 --> 00:05:39,047 Some of them are fairly small, like the size of footballs. 99 00:05:39,213 --> 00:05:40,797 Others are huge, 100 00:05:40,922 --> 00:05:44,672 between eight and nine feet tall and wide. 101 00:05:44,838 --> 00:05:48,088 Some have carvings on, like spirals... 102 00:05:49,463 --> 00:05:52,380 ...and what looks like boats or ships. 103 00:05:52,588 --> 00:05:55,755 They look like they're created in a machine. 104 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,338 NARRATOR: Researchers believe the stone that the spheres are carved from 105 00:06:00,547 --> 00:06:03,005 is not local to the Diquis Delta, 106 00:06:03,172 --> 00:06:05,047 but was transported from a quarry 107 00:06:05,213 --> 00:06:08,547 that was located more than 50 miles away. 108 00:06:09,505 --> 00:06:11,547 CARRANZA: The quarries of this material 109 00:06:11,713 --> 00:06:14,005 are allegedly found at least 110 00:06:14,213 --> 00:06:16,130 a few dozen kilometers from the site 111 00:06:16,297 --> 00:06:18,838 where the spheres are located. 112 00:06:19,005 --> 00:06:21,922 So that brings us questions of transportation. 113 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,838 Walking around the rainforest is not an easy task. 114 00:06:26,005 --> 00:06:28,755 You have creeks, you have mountains, you have hills, 115 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,380 you have branches, you have tree roots. 116 00:06:31,547 --> 00:06:34,005 So how were they moved? 117 00:06:34,130 --> 00:06:38,547 NARRATOR: Just as puzzling as how the massive objects were moved 118 00:06:38,713 --> 00:06:40,338 is how they were made. 119 00:06:40,547 --> 00:06:44,338 Archeologists believe that the Diquis civilization 120 00:06:44,505 --> 00:06:47,630 carved the spheres with simple stone tools. 121 00:06:48,672 --> 00:06:51,338 But some researchers argue that creating 122 00:06:51,505 --> 00:06:54,338 such a precise shape would be difficult to achieve, 123 00:06:54,505 --> 00:06:56,588 even with today's technology. 124 00:06:57,630 --> 00:06:59,630 WHITEHILL: It's important to note that these are, 125 00:06:59,755 --> 00:07:01,963 in some reports, granitic, which are very, 126 00:07:02,130 --> 00:07:05,547 very hard rocks to shape, to form, to move, 127 00:07:05,755 --> 00:07:08,797 and to quarry in any capacity. 128 00:07:08,922 --> 00:07:11,588 If we wanted to make these same spheres, 129 00:07:11,755 --> 00:07:13,713 we would need something harder than granite. 130 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,547 And there are very few substances that are harder. 131 00:07:17,713 --> 00:07:19,172 JIM VIEIRA: What's noteworthy is some of them are 132 00:07:19,338 --> 00:07:20,547 almost perfectly spherical. 133 00:07:20,713 --> 00:07:22,463 And that's a very tall task 134 00:07:22,630 --> 00:07:25,380 to create that with the tools of the time. 135 00:07:25,547 --> 00:07:28,297 As a stonemason, I would use diamond saws, 136 00:07:28,463 --> 00:07:30,672 I would use polishing items. 137 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,172 But when you look at Indigenous people 138 00:07:33,380 --> 00:07:35,047 that were purported to have made them, 139 00:07:35,213 --> 00:07:37,172 did they have those machines, did they have that equipment, 140 00:07:37,380 --> 00:07:38,630 did they have that technology? 141 00:07:40,213 --> 00:07:42,755 NARRATOR: How could a culture that only had access 142 00:07:42,922 --> 00:07:46,380 to stone chisels and rudimentary tools have carved 143 00:07:46,547 --> 00:07:49,713 and transported such enormous stone spheres? 144 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,172 And what could have been their reason for doing so? 145 00:07:54,380 --> 00:07:56,213 CARRANZA: Since the United Fruit Company 146 00:07:56,380 --> 00:07:57,963 started moving the spheres, 147 00:07:58,130 --> 00:08:00,547 we do not know the original location of most of them. 148 00:08:00,713 --> 00:08:03,672 You start to wonder, what if we could go back in time 149 00:08:03,838 --> 00:08:06,672 and see the exact location of all the spheres? 150 00:08:06,797 --> 00:08:09,338 What would they show? Would they show a pattern? 151 00:08:09,547 --> 00:08:11,505 Would they show a constellation map? 152 00:08:11,630 --> 00:08:13,880 Would they be like the Nazca lines? 153 00:08:14,088 --> 00:08:16,172 Like a pattern that you could only see from above? 154 00:08:17,755 --> 00:08:20,672 NARRATOR: Although documentation to explain the spheres 155 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,463 does not exist, according to local legend, 156 00:08:23,588 --> 00:08:26,755 they were created by the gods. 157 00:08:28,463 --> 00:08:32,005 HENRY: One very interesting explanation for the Costa Rica spheres is 158 00:08:32,213 --> 00:08:34,755 that they were created by Tara, the god of thunder, 159 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,922 who used some sort of a blowpipe to shoot these spheres 160 00:08:39,088 --> 00:08:42,255 out of the pipe in order to push back hurricanes. 161 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,547 Ancient astronaut theory says that within legends like this, 162 00:08:47,713 --> 00:08:49,505 there's often a kernel of truth. 163 00:08:49,630 --> 00:08:51,588 And so you have to wonder, 164 00:08:51,713 --> 00:08:53,672 is this a calling card 165 00:08:53,838 --> 00:08:55,463 from some extraterrestrial entity, 166 00:08:55,588 --> 00:08:58,797 a sky god, Tara, with some sort of message? 167 00:08:58,963 --> 00:09:04,505 TSOUKALOS: To me, the ancient legend of the god of thunder illustrates 168 00:09:04,713 --> 00:09:08,213 an example of misunderstood technology. 169 00:09:08,380 --> 00:09:13,463 Clearly those spheres themselves never descended from the sky. 170 00:09:13,672 --> 00:09:18,588 But maybe our ancestors saw 171 00:09:18,755 --> 00:09:24,297 the appearance of a spherical craft by the extraterrestrials 172 00:09:24,505 --> 00:09:27,213 who visited us thousands of years ago. 173 00:09:28,838 --> 00:09:31,963 NARRATOR: Was the creation of the mysterious stone spheres 174 00:09:32,130 --> 00:09:36,547 found in Costa Rica inspired by an extraterrestrial event, 175 00:09:36,672 --> 00:09:39,005 as ancient astronaut theorists propose? 176 00:09:39,213 --> 00:09:43,672 And if so, just what, exactly, do they represent? 177 00:09:44,838 --> 00:09:47,880 Perhaps further clues can be found by examining 178 00:09:48,047 --> 00:09:52,213 the largest stone spheres ever discovered. 179 00:09:56,922 --> 00:10:01,338 NARRATOR: Zavidovici, Bosnia, 1999. 180 00:10:02,255 --> 00:10:07,838 Archaeologist Dr. Sam Osmanagich and a small team of researchers 181 00:10:07,922 --> 00:10:10,088 are hiking along the Bosna River 182 00:10:10,213 --> 00:10:13,505 when they come upon an astonishing sight. 183 00:10:13,672 --> 00:10:17,338 In the midst of the dense forest are massive boulders 184 00:10:17,505 --> 00:10:21,172 that do not appear to be part of the natural landscape. 185 00:10:22,630 --> 00:10:25,505 We discovered six of them intact, 186 00:10:25,672 --> 00:10:29,047 perfectly preserved and perfectly spherical. 187 00:10:30,255 --> 00:10:33,297 NARRATOR: To Dr. Osmanagich, the near-perfect shape 188 00:10:33,422 --> 00:10:34,880 of the objects is compelling. 189 00:10:36,255 --> 00:10:38,505 And he begins to comb the region in search 190 00:10:38,713 --> 00:10:40,380 of other stone spheres. 191 00:10:40,547 --> 00:10:42,838 OSMANAGICH: We have been researching 192 00:10:43,047 --> 00:10:47,922 the stone spheres in Bosnia for 25 years, 193 00:10:48,088 --> 00:10:52,880 and we have discovered 20 different locations. 194 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,130 The stone spheres in Bosnia come 195 00:10:56,297 --> 00:10:58,547 in four different materials. 196 00:10:58,713 --> 00:11:01,213 Granite, volcanic stone, 197 00:11:01,380 --> 00:11:03,797 sandstone and limestone. 198 00:11:03,922 --> 00:11:06,172 And different sizes, also. 199 00:11:06,338 --> 00:11:08,338 In most cases, 200 00:11:08,463 --> 00:11:10,547 they are over one ton. 201 00:11:11,588 --> 00:11:14,672 NARRATOR: After his initial discovery of the stone spheres, 202 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,297 Dr. Osmanagich expanded his search. 203 00:11:18,380 --> 00:11:20,672 And in 2016, he spotted 204 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,963 the most enormous stone sphere 205 00:11:23,130 --> 00:11:26,172 he had ever seen hidden in the forest floor. 206 00:11:26,380 --> 00:11:29,713 OSMANAGICH: We could see that the small part of the sphere 207 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,505 was sticking out. 208 00:11:31,713 --> 00:11:33,213 We started clearing it, 209 00:11:33,380 --> 00:11:36,755 realizing that it was huge. 210 00:11:36,922 --> 00:11:38,713 Monumental in size. 211 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,630 Once we cleared almost all of it, 212 00:11:41,713 --> 00:11:43,672 we've done the measurements. 213 00:11:44,963 --> 00:11:48,505 It is more than three meters in diameter. 214 00:11:48,630 --> 00:11:52,755 The specific weight: 37 tons. 215 00:11:53,755 --> 00:11:57,338 So, this was the largest stone sphere discovery 216 00:11:57,547 --> 00:11:59,963 in the world. 217 00:12:02,130 --> 00:12:04,797 NARRATOR: How the Bosnian stone spheres were created 218 00:12:04,963 --> 00:12:06,380 remains a mystery. 219 00:12:06,547 --> 00:12:08,463 Some geologists suggest 220 00:12:08,672 --> 00:12:11,047 they were shaped through erosion. 221 00:12:11,213 --> 00:12:14,255 But others believe the spheres are simply too perfect 222 00:12:14,422 --> 00:12:16,380 to have been formed naturally. 223 00:12:18,672 --> 00:12:20,630 There is a process called "spherical" 224 00:12:20,713 --> 00:12:22,588 or "spheroidal" weathering 225 00:12:22,713 --> 00:12:25,297 that is very, very common. 226 00:12:26,630 --> 00:12:29,297 We see them on the landscape in Arizona, 227 00:12:29,463 --> 00:12:31,463 everywhere, called hoodoos. 228 00:12:31,630 --> 00:12:33,338 You can see them out in Alabama Hills, 229 00:12:33,505 --> 00:12:35,338 out in Owens Valley. 230 00:12:35,463 --> 00:12:37,922 There's a lot of examples of this sort of sphere weathering. 231 00:12:38,088 --> 00:12:41,005 But rarely are they perfect spheres. 232 00:12:41,172 --> 00:12:44,463 And so it could be that some of these stones started out 233 00:12:44,630 --> 00:12:46,630 mostly spheroidal, and then were worked 234 00:12:46,755 --> 00:12:49,463 into a... 235 00:12:49,672 --> 00:12:52,005 more perfect sphere. 236 00:12:52,130 --> 00:12:54,172 The one in particular that I'm thinking of, 237 00:12:54,338 --> 00:12:55,672 Bosnia, that's been, 238 00:12:55,797 --> 00:12:57,672 um, in the headlines lately 239 00:12:57,838 --> 00:12:59,672 has evidence of heat treating 240 00:12:59,838 --> 00:13:01,922 to help facilitate polishing. 241 00:13:02,088 --> 00:13:05,380 McGOWAN: These are not just round stones. 242 00:13:05,547 --> 00:13:08,297 They are 96% perfect 243 00:13:08,463 --> 00:13:10,005 in their spherical form. 244 00:13:10,213 --> 00:13:12,255 That's not something that's created by the Earth. 245 00:13:13,713 --> 00:13:16,463 NARRATOR: The near-perfect measurements of the stone spheres 246 00:13:16,547 --> 00:13:18,838 convinced Dr. Osmanagich 247 00:13:19,047 --> 00:13:21,963 that they were carved by artificial means. 248 00:13:22,130 --> 00:13:25,588 And in 2016, he sparked controversy 249 00:13:25,797 --> 00:13:28,130 when he announced that he believed 250 00:13:28,255 --> 00:13:32,047 they originated with some unknown civilization. 251 00:13:33,213 --> 00:13:34,963 OSMANAGICH: Who made them? 252 00:13:35,130 --> 00:13:37,047 We don't have precise answer, but we know 253 00:13:37,213 --> 00:13:40,213 that they were made by ancient builders. 254 00:13:40,422 --> 00:13:41,713 Why? 255 00:13:41,838 --> 00:13:44,422 Granite never comes 256 00:13:44,588 --> 00:13:47,255 in spherical shape in nature. 257 00:13:48,547 --> 00:13:51,755 NARRATOR: If the stone spheres are not naturally formed, 258 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,338 as Dr. Osmanagich suggests, 259 00:13:54,547 --> 00:13:56,505 when were they made? 260 00:13:56,588 --> 00:13:58,005 Many of the spheres 261 00:13:58,172 --> 00:14:00,672 are impossible to scientifically date, 262 00:14:00,838 --> 00:14:02,963 but based on the layers of soil 263 00:14:03,130 --> 00:14:05,422 where the largest stone sphere was discovered, 264 00:14:05,588 --> 00:14:10,963 Dr. Osmanagich believes it is up to 100,000 years old. 265 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,005 We don't have very specific time, 266 00:14:14,172 --> 00:14:16,630 but what we do know, extremely old. 267 00:14:16,755 --> 00:14:18,213 How do we know that? 268 00:14:19,422 --> 00:14:21,838 The Bosnian stones sphere, the biggest one, 269 00:14:22,047 --> 00:14:25,130 is discovered below the tree-- 270 00:14:25,297 --> 00:14:26,672 50 years-- 271 00:14:26,797 --> 00:14:29,672 dark soil-- 100 years-- 272 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,505 light soil-- couple of hundred years. 273 00:14:32,630 --> 00:14:34,922 We have light clay. 274 00:14:35,130 --> 00:14:36,797 Almost 1,000 years. 275 00:14:36,963 --> 00:14:38,672 We have dark clay, we have gray clay. 276 00:14:38,838 --> 00:14:40,088 Tens of thousands of years. 277 00:14:40,255 --> 00:14:43,338 And, finally, we have sandstone plate. 278 00:14:43,505 --> 00:14:47,172 100,000-plus years. 279 00:14:48,713 --> 00:14:51,963 NARRATOR: Is it possible that the stone spheres in Bosnia 280 00:14:52,130 --> 00:14:54,463 were created by some unknown culture 281 00:14:54,630 --> 00:14:57,255 tens of thousands of years ago? 282 00:14:57,422 --> 00:15:00,047 And if so, how? 283 00:15:00,213 --> 00:15:02,838 OSMANAGICH: According to the mainstream archeologists, 284 00:15:02,963 --> 00:15:04,797 until a couple of thousands of years back, 285 00:15:04,922 --> 00:15:07,130 the only tools were copper tools. 286 00:15:08,130 --> 00:15:10,672 Copper is soft material. 287 00:15:10,797 --> 00:15:12,672 You cannot use copper tools 288 00:15:12,838 --> 00:15:15,005 to shape granite stones. 289 00:15:15,213 --> 00:15:18,672 Of course this is us, 21st-century civilization. 290 00:15:18,838 --> 00:15:20,630 What did they use? 291 00:15:22,255 --> 00:15:25,338 NARRATOR: To try and understand how these artifacts were shaped, 292 00:15:25,463 --> 00:15:29,297 Dr. Osmanagich had several samples taken from the spheres 293 00:15:29,380 --> 00:15:30,672 analyzed in a lab 294 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,297 at the University of Belgrade in Serbia. 295 00:15:33,463 --> 00:15:35,922 We realized that there is a difference 296 00:15:36,088 --> 00:15:39,463 between their physical and chemical properties 297 00:15:39,672 --> 00:15:43,005 and natural stone materials. 298 00:15:43,172 --> 00:15:45,172 McGOWAN: There is a chemical component 299 00:15:45,380 --> 00:15:47,172 that was found within the spheres. 300 00:15:47,380 --> 00:15:50,630 And this chemical has not been able to be identified. 301 00:15:52,213 --> 00:15:54,755 NARRATOR: If the giant stone spheres in Bosnia 302 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,755 were created by an ancient civilization, 303 00:15:57,922 --> 00:16:00,047 what purpose did they serve? 304 00:16:00,213 --> 00:16:03,088 The precise engineering of the monoliths, 305 00:16:03,255 --> 00:16:05,630 and the fact that many are made of granite, 306 00:16:05,797 --> 00:16:08,297 has convinced Dr. Osmanagich 307 00:16:08,463 --> 00:16:11,172 that the stone spheres' true purpose was to transmit 308 00:16:11,380 --> 00:16:14,172 Earth energy that occurs in the region. 309 00:16:15,172 --> 00:16:19,255 It seems that they had multi-layer purpose. 310 00:16:19,422 --> 00:16:22,963 According to the new science, bio-geometry, 311 00:16:23,130 --> 00:16:25,713 three most powerful geometrical shapes 312 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,005 when it comes to the energy, are: 313 00:16:28,172 --> 00:16:30,588 four-sided pyramid, 314 00:16:30,755 --> 00:16:32,672 conical shape, 315 00:16:32,797 --> 00:16:35,505 and the third one is the sphere. 316 00:16:35,672 --> 00:16:38,338 Those three geometrical shapes 317 00:16:38,547 --> 00:16:40,630 amplify the energies. 318 00:16:41,922 --> 00:16:43,755 Most of the stone balls 319 00:16:43,922 --> 00:16:45,838 have quartz crystal. 320 00:16:46,047 --> 00:16:48,547 Quartz crystal has the ability 321 00:16:48,713 --> 00:16:51,047 to amplify the energy. 322 00:16:51,213 --> 00:16:54,797 McGOWAN: Dr. Semir Osmanagich talks about 323 00:16:54,963 --> 00:16:57,797 the use of these spheres as, potentially, 324 00:16:57,963 --> 00:16:59,255 small power supplies. 325 00:16:59,422 --> 00:17:01,547 And this makes sense when you look at them 326 00:17:01,713 --> 00:17:04,255 in context with the rest of Bosnia. 327 00:17:05,338 --> 00:17:07,588 When you're sitting in this creek bed, 328 00:17:07,755 --> 00:17:11,755 surrounded by these spheres, it's hard to describe, 329 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,213 but it does feel powerful. 330 00:17:14,380 --> 00:17:17,047 It feels like it is generating energy. 331 00:17:20,630 --> 00:17:23,297 NARRATOR: Did the giant stone spheres in Bosnia 332 00:17:23,422 --> 00:17:26,172 once serve a technological function? 333 00:17:26,380 --> 00:17:28,922 And if so, might other stone spheres 334 00:17:29,047 --> 00:17:31,255 have a similar purpose? 335 00:17:31,380 --> 00:17:35,005 Perhaps answers can be found by examining 336 00:17:35,172 --> 00:17:37,797 hundreds of stone spheres in Mexico 337 00:17:37,963 --> 00:17:40,547 that were hidden for centuries. 338 00:17:48,130 --> 00:17:50,547 NARRATOR: Teotihuacan, Mexico. 339 00:17:51,505 --> 00:17:54,672 This ancient pyramid site was once home 340 00:17:54,838 --> 00:17:56,422 to a mysterious civilization 341 00:17:56,588 --> 00:17:59,255 dating back to the first century AD. 342 00:17:59,422 --> 00:18:03,797 A time long before the Aztec arrived in this region. 343 00:18:05,130 --> 00:18:07,297 Since the early 1990s, 344 00:18:07,422 --> 00:18:09,797 archaeologists have been exploring 345 00:18:10,005 --> 00:18:14,338 the dozens of subterranean rooms, tunnels, and pathways 346 00:18:14,422 --> 00:18:18,213 that lie below this eight-square-mile complex. 347 00:18:20,338 --> 00:18:23,255 They've been doing a lot of excavations to understand 348 00:18:23,380 --> 00:18:26,588 the nature and the relationship of the different pyramids. 349 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,130 And they're exploring underneath 350 00:18:30,297 --> 00:18:32,088 the Temple of the Feathered Serpent. 351 00:18:32,255 --> 00:18:34,838 And so they've made some really nice maps 352 00:18:35,005 --> 00:18:37,505 of the pathways and such that are underneath the temple 353 00:18:37,672 --> 00:18:41,422 and exposed caverns in areas that they didn't know existed. 354 00:18:42,713 --> 00:18:44,422 NARRATOR: In May of 2013, 355 00:18:44,588 --> 00:18:48,630 researchers working beneath the Temple of the Feathered Serpent 356 00:18:48,713 --> 00:18:50,630 employed a small robot 357 00:18:50,755 --> 00:18:53,380 called Tlaloc II-TC 358 00:18:53,505 --> 00:18:56,588 to explore the recently uncovered area. 359 00:18:56,755 --> 00:18:58,505 Inside one chamber, 360 00:18:58,630 --> 00:19:01,463 archeologists made a curious discovery. 361 00:19:01,630 --> 00:19:06,505 They found more than 100 gold-colored metallic spheres. 362 00:19:06,713 --> 00:19:09,297 COLLINS: These tiny balls 363 00:19:09,463 --> 00:19:11,838 are probably anything between 364 00:19:12,005 --> 00:19:15,005 an inch to about five inches in diameter. 365 00:19:15,172 --> 00:19:18,505 And what we can say is that 366 00:19:18,672 --> 00:19:21,130 when they were actually put in place, 367 00:19:21,338 --> 00:19:24,255 uh, probably about 2,000 years ago, 368 00:19:24,422 --> 00:19:26,672 you would've had this incredible 369 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,172 shining gallery of lights 370 00:19:29,338 --> 00:19:31,172 as you went down it. 371 00:19:31,297 --> 00:19:34,130 WHITEHILL: They appear gold, but when you look at them 372 00:19:34,297 --> 00:19:35,838 under chemical inspection, 373 00:19:36,005 --> 00:19:39,755 it appears that that gold color is the mineral pyrite. 374 00:19:41,213 --> 00:19:44,380 The Mexican archeologists are completely perplexed. 375 00:19:44,547 --> 00:19:46,380 They haven't seen anything like this before. 376 00:19:46,588 --> 00:19:48,463 They haven't seen anything like this 377 00:19:48,672 --> 00:19:51,088 in their explorations of the other temples. 378 00:19:51,255 --> 00:19:53,672 So there's lots of questions to be answered still. 379 00:19:57,838 --> 00:20:00,463 NARRATOR: Archeologists retrieved several spheres 380 00:20:00,588 --> 00:20:02,880 from the chamber, and when they analyzed them, 381 00:20:03,047 --> 00:20:05,463 they were amazed by what they found. 382 00:20:05,588 --> 00:20:09,255 BARNHART: The sparkly spheres that were found 383 00:20:09,422 --> 00:20:12,797 in Teotihuacan really are an enigma. 384 00:20:12,963 --> 00:20:15,172 As far as how they were made, 385 00:20:15,380 --> 00:20:17,005 men definitely made them. 386 00:20:17,213 --> 00:20:18,505 We have looked at those spheres. 387 00:20:18,672 --> 00:20:20,338 And they are clay. 388 00:20:20,505 -->

We just don't know. 603 00:32:10,213 --> 00:32:12,005 NARRATOR: Upon closer examination, 604 00:32:12,172 --> 00:32:15,213 Dr. Wainwright noticed the small sphere 605 00:32:15,380 --> 00:32:18,463 contained something completely unexpected. 606 00:32:18,672 --> 00:32:21,088 COLLINS: This tiny sphere, when they studied it 607 00:32:21,213 --> 00:32:23,547 under electron microscope, 608 00:32:23,755 --> 00:32:25,838 saw that it was actually a shell 609 00:32:25,963 --> 00:32:27,338 that had now broken, 610 00:32:27,547 --> 00:32:29,797 and coming out of it 611 00:32:29,922 --> 00:32:33,047 was this strange ooze that they felt 612 00:32:33,213 --> 00:32:35,672 was biological in nature. 613 00:32:36,797 --> 00:32:40,213 WAINWRIGHT: The characteristics of these organisms is very interesting. 614 00:32:40,380 --> 00:32:42,672 They're made of carbon and oxygen, 615 00:32:42,838 --> 00:32:44,672 so we know they're life-forms. 616 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,338 They don't contain silicon, so they're not bits of cosmic dust. 617 00:32:48,505 --> 00:32:50,172 They're very unusual. 618 00:32:50,338 --> 00:32:51,963 When I see the shapes of these things, I'm amazed, 619 00:32:52,172 --> 00:32:54,047 'cause I've never seen anything like them on Earth. 620 00:32:54,213 --> 00:32:58,047 There's no textbook version of the pictures we've been seeing. 621 00:32:59,088 --> 00:33:00,672 NARRATOR: Although it is still unknown 622 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,005 just where these spheres come from, 623 00:33:03,172 --> 00:33:06,005 Dr. Wainwright believes they are being used 624 00:33:06,130 --> 00:33:08,838 to introduce new life-forms on Earth. 625 00:33:08,963 --> 00:33:12,672 This concept is known as panspermia. 626 00:33:12,797 --> 00:33:15,672 The question, how life ever got here, 627 00:33:15,838 --> 00:33:19,713 to astronomers and to astrobiologists, 628 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,463 is still a gigantic question mark 629 00:33:22,588 --> 00:33:24,005 and a huge debate 630 00:33:24,213 --> 00:33:27,630 because, at some point, our planet 631 00:33:27,797 --> 00:33:32,297 was just a rock with rocks and water. That's it. 632 00:33:32,422 --> 00:33:34,338 And so, how did it all begin? 633 00:33:34,505 --> 00:33:37,297 And so, there's two ways. One is panspermia. 634 00:33:37,463 --> 00:33:41,005 Panspermia suggests that life was carried 635 00:33:41,172 --> 00:33:45,130 on the backs of comets throughout the universe. 636 00:33:45,297 --> 00:33:48,713 So, it's a natural seeding of the planets. 637 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,172 The other one is directed panspermia, 638 00:33:51,380 --> 00:33:54,338 and direct panspermia dictates 639 00:33:54,547 --> 00:33:59,005 that an intelligent extraterrestrial civilization 640 00:33:59,172 --> 00:34:01,797 that's much, much older than ours 641 00:34:01,922 --> 00:34:05,672 sent probes out to seed the planet 642 00:34:05,797 --> 00:34:08,130 with their own DNA. 643 00:34:09,463 --> 00:34:12,338 Directed panspermia is an idea first suggested 644 00:34:12,505 --> 00:34:17,172 by the famous DNA pioneer Francis Crick. 645 00:34:17,297 --> 00:34:20,463 And, basically, the idea is that maybe 646 00:34:20,630 --> 00:34:22,672 aliens sent life to Earth. 647 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,505 COLLINS: This is the idea that an alien civilization 648 00:34:26,713 --> 00:34:29,380 would send out these seeds 649 00:34:29,547 --> 00:34:32,380 into different parts of the galaxy 650 00:34:32,588 --> 00:34:35,963 that would come into the atmospheres of planets 651 00:34:36,088 --> 00:34:38,797 and eventually reach the surface. 652 00:34:38,963 --> 00:34:42,713 And this biological ooze would then create 653 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,672 the beginnings of life itself. 654 00:34:45,755 --> 00:34:49,797 CHILDRESS: With Dr. Wainwright's small metal sphere, 655 00:34:49,963 --> 00:34:55,463 you have to wonder, is this protein ooze that's inside it 656 00:34:55,588 --> 00:35:00,297 something to seed the planet with life? 657 00:35:00,463 --> 00:35:03,005 And to me, that's a fascinating idea. 658 00:35:03,172 --> 00:35:06,088 And if this is the case, then 659 00:35:06,255 --> 00:35:07,880 perhaps the extraterrestrials 660 00:35:08,047 --> 00:35:11,088 are using these metallic spheres, 661 00:35:11,213 --> 00:35:15,005 which are full of some protein liquid 662 00:35:15,172 --> 00:35:18,672 that will jump-start life on the planet. 663 00:35:19,713 --> 00:35:23,088 NARRATOR: Could the tiny metal spheres found in our atmosphere 664 00:35:23,255 --> 00:35:25,630 really be designed to seed life on Earth? 665 00:35:25,713 --> 00:35:28,547 For Dr. Wainwright, the distinct shape 666 00:35:28,672 --> 00:35:33,297 of the microscopic objects presents a compelling argument. 667 00:35:33,463 --> 00:35:34,838 WAINWRIGHT: The reason I'm suggesting 668 00:35:35,047 --> 00:35:36,588 it might be artificial engineering, 669 00:35:36,755 --> 00:35:39,505 it's pretty obvious that, if you're looking for a vehicle 670 00:35:39,630 --> 00:35:43,130 of directed panspermia, this is what you would pick. 671 00:35:43,255 --> 00:35:46,505 Instead of sending one rocket, you know, to California 672 00:35:46,713 --> 00:35:48,713 or to Sheffield, what you want to do 673 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:53,255 is to completely cover the globe in minute balls of life. 674 00:35:53,422 --> 00:35:56,672 And this would absolutely fit the bill. 675 00:35:57,755 --> 00:36:01,463 HENRY: To Dr. Wainwright, this was evidence of cosmic seeding. 676 00:36:01,630 --> 00:36:04,422 He believed that the spheres were, in fact, a technology-- 677 00:36:04,588 --> 00:36:07,005 a seed, if you will-- that were sent deliberately 678 00:36:07,130 --> 00:36:10,505 to Earth by some unknown advanced civilization. 679 00:36:10,588 --> 00:36:12,588 This would certainly be one way 680 00:36:12,755 --> 00:36:15,422 of accelerating evolution on Earth. 681 00:36:16,713 --> 00:36:19,797 NARRATOR: Dr. Wainwright awaits additional funding 682 00:36:19,922 --> 00:36:22,088 to continue his experiments, 683 00:36:22,255 --> 00:36:25,338 and as far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, 684 00:36:25,505 --> 00:36:29,005 the questions raised by his research 685 00:36:29,213 --> 00:36:31,672 merit further examination. 686 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,172 TSOUKALOS: This oozing liquid that's inside these spherules 687 00:36:35,338 --> 00:36:39,005 is something that has never been discovered elsewhere. 688 00:36:39,172 --> 00:36:40,172 So what is it? 689 00:36:41,213 --> 00:36:45,422 Could it be that this is a part 690 00:36:45,588 --> 00:36:49,005 of a directed panspermia project 691 00:36:49,172 --> 00:36:52,630 that was used by extraterrestrials, 692 00:36:52,797 --> 00:36:57,505 and we just happen to have found the evidence for it? 693 00:36:57,630 --> 00:37:01,213 I think what Dr. Wainwright discovered 694 00:37:01,380 --> 00:37:04,088 is crucial in figuring out 695 00:37:04,255 --> 00:37:08,047 the larger picture that our origins 696 00:37:08,213 --> 00:37:11,630 is not down here on Earth, but out there. 697 00:37:13,047 --> 00:37:16,255 NARRATOR: Do the microscopic spheres found in the upper atmosphere 698 00:37:16,422 --> 00:37:19,255 provide proof that extraterrestrials 699 00:37:19,380 --> 00:37:21,547 seeded life on Earth? 700 00:37:21,713 --> 00:37:25,005 As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, 701 00:37:25,172 --> 00:37:27,172 it's an intriguing possibility. 702 00:37:27,338 --> 00:37:31,172 And they suggest further evidence of a connection 703 00:37:31,380 --> 00:37:33,505 between the planet's mysterious spheres 704 00:37:33,672 --> 00:37:37,463 and alien visitation can be found by examining 705 00:37:37,630 --> 00:37:40,505 hundreds of stone orbs discovered in Scotland 706 00:37:40,630 --> 00:37:44,755 that were used to communicate with the gods. 707 00:37:53,297 --> 00:37:55,922 NARRATOR: The Orkney Islands, Scotland. 708 00:37:57,005 --> 00:37:59,338 In the 19th century, 709 00:37:59,547 --> 00:38:03,088 archeologists excavating a neolithic settlement here 710 00:38:03,213 --> 00:38:06,130 discovered five small stone spheres. 711 00:38:06,297 --> 00:38:08,422 Over the years, more than 500 712 00:38:08,588 --> 00:38:11,505 have been unearthed throughout the region. 713 00:38:11,713 --> 00:38:15,172 The petrospheres in Scotland are very, very interesting. 714 00:38:15,380 --> 00:38:19,172 They appear to be of neolithic origin. 715 00:38:19,380 --> 00:38:23,338 So, we're going back to 12,000 BC to about 4500 BC. 716 00:38:23,547 --> 00:38:26,672 They're small, almost the size of ball bearings or something. 717 00:38:27,713 --> 00:38:30,463 VIEIRA: They have geometric forms and spirals, 718 00:38:30,630 --> 00:38:34,505 and it is obvious that they were produced by humans. 719 00:38:34,672 --> 00:38:36,297 The question is, why were they produced 720 00:38:36,380 --> 00:38:37,797 and what do all the symbols mean? 721 00:38:39,172 --> 00:38:40,838 NARRATOR: While mainstream archaeologists 722 00:38:41,005 --> 00:38:44,005 have yet to identify the purpose of these stones, 723 00:38:44,172 --> 00:38:46,672 ancient astronaut theorists believe 724 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,547 the answer can be found in local legends, 725 00:38:49,713 --> 00:38:52,255 which claim they were used to communicate 726 00:38:52,463 --> 00:38:54,963 with otherworldly beings. 727 00:38:56,005 --> 00:38:58,630 HENRY: Legend says that they could be used as oracle stones, 728 00:38:58,797 --> 00:39:00,963 that a person would ask a question, 729 00:39:01,130 --> 00:39:03,005 throw the stone on the ground, 730 00:39:03,213 --> 00:39:05,672 and they would get some sort of an answer. 731 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,755 And that makes me wonder if it's possible that these 732 00:39:07,963 --> 00:39:10,838 smaller handheld stones are somehow connected 733 00:39:10,963 --> 00:39:12,672 to the larger stone spheres, 734 00:39:12,838 --> 00:39:15,588 and they're perhaps amplifiers or transmitters 735 00:39:15,755 --> 00:39:17,588 of Earth's energy, and that they all have 736 00:39:17,797 --> 00:39:20,338 some sort of an energetic function. 737 00:39:23,005 --> 00:39:25,380 NARRATOR: Could it be that the ancient stone spheres 738 00:39:25,547 --> 00:39:28,672 found around the world were intended to amplify 739 00:39:28,838 --> 00:39:32,922 the energy of the Earth for a purpose we have yet to discover? 740 00:39:33,088 --> 00:39:36,547 Or is our fascination with spheres simply inspired 741 00:39:36,713 --> 00:39:39,755 by the connection we feel to the spherical bodies 742 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,130 we see in the heavens? 743 00:39:42,338 --> 00:39:45,047 Perhaps the explanation is more profound 744 00:39:45,255 --> 00:39:47,672 than we can even imagine. 745 00:39:48,713 --> 00:39:50,172 As a stonemason, I'm very interested 746 00:39:50,380 --> 00:39:51,713 in this mystery of the stone spheres. 747 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,005 I think it's, uh, a very enigmatic mystery. 748 00:39:55,172 --> 00:39:57,672 It's a mixture of science, geology, 749 00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:01,338 actual human manufacture, and legends of gods. 750 00:40:01,505 --> 00:40:04,630 And I feel that more and more objects like this 751 00:40:04,797 --> 00:40:06,505 may emerge because I think people are keen 752 00:40:06,713 --> 00:40:08,630 on looking at our past like never before. 753 00:40:10,338 --> 00:40:13,838 In my experience, stone speaks to humans. 754 00:40:14,047 --> 00:40:15,630 Stone has a story to tell. 755 00:40:15,755 --> 00:40:20,005 Stone is placed in specific ways with specific properties 756 00:40:20,213 --> 00:40:23,047 to emit some message, 757 00:40:23,213 --> 00:40:24,672 communication devices, maybe... 758 00:40:24,838 --> 00:40:26,422 It-it's a very interesting medium. 759 00:40:26,588 --> 00:40:30,463 And I really believe there is an understanding here 760 00:40:30,588 --> 00:40:33,797 of something larger that the stone is trying to convey to us. 761 00:40:34,755 --> 00:40:37,838 Our fascination with stone spheres, 762 00:40:38,047 --> 00:40:40,505 whether they be tiny, 763 00:40:40,713 --> 00:40:43,963 handheld, or massive, 764 00:40:44,130 --> 00:40:48,005 is something that is associated 765 00:40:48,088 --> 00:40:51,505 with connections with otherworldly environments, 766 00:40:51,672 --> 00:40:54,838 that we see spheres 767 00:40:55,047 --> 00:40:58,838 as points of communication with the other world. 768 00:41:00,797 --> 00:41:05,963 TSOUKALOS: Clearly, the sphere has played a crucial part 769 00:41:06,130 --> 00:41:08,547 in all of our ancient cultures. 770 00:41:08,672 --> 00:41:11,755 And you have to ask yourself, why?
