NARRATOR:
Hidden pyramids discovered

in unexpected locations.

GEORGE NOORY:
There's a pyramid up in Alaska,

and they just don't want
to tell us about it.

NARRATOR:
Extraordinary revelations

disclosed about
Egypt's most iconic structure.

GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS:
This is incredible.

RAMY ROMANY: Every single
block is bigger than this car.

TSOUKALOS:
It is insane.

NARRATOR: And puzzling
archaeological finds

unearthed beneath
a pyramid complex in Mexico.

TSOUKALOS: They've discovered
liquid mercury in Teotihuacan.

What was it used for?

NARRATOR:
All around the planet,

ancient pyramidal structures

defy our understanding
of engineering and construction

as we know it.

Could pyramids have served
an otherworldly purpose?

And perhaps even
hold the key to unlocking

the secrets
of our extraterrestrial past?

WILLIAM HENRY: When we put
all the pieces together,

we're looking at the possibility

that the pyramids constructed
around the world are, in fact,

power plants of the gods.

NARRATOR: There is a doorway
in the universe.

Beyond it is
the promise of truth.

It demands
we question everything

we have ever been taught.

The evidence is all around us.

The future is
right before our eyes.

We are not alone.

We have never been alone.

NARRATOR:
Western China.

May 21, 1992.

An underground nuclear explosion
on the Lop Nur test range

sends shock waves
through the earth.

The event is recorded by U.S.
government seismometers,

which reveal unexpected
geological anomalies

under the earth just north
of Anchorage, Alaska.

Six months later, a U.S. Army
Counterintelligence officer

stationed
at nearby Fort Richardson,

Douglas Mutschler,
sees a local news report

that claims these
underground scans had detected

a colossal pyramid structure
50 miles

southwest of Mount McKinley.

Mutschler contacts the station
to find out more.

But, mysteriously, they tell him

no further information
is available.

(indistinct radio chatter)

NOORY: There has been talk that
there's a pyramid up in Alaska.

(indistinct radio chatter)

But nobody seems to be
investigating that.

Maybe because it's so remote.

Or maybe they have
investigated it

and they just don't want
to tell us about it.

NARRATOR: Frustrated
by the lack of information,

Sergeant Mutschler contacts
journalist Linda Moulton Howe,

who reaches out across
her network searching for anyone

that could shed light
on the Alaska pyramid story.

Soon after,
she receives a response

from a man who requests
to remain anonymous.

He claims his father
was an engineer

who got a firsthand look
at the secret pyramid.

His father had had
a Navy career,

and then was asked to continue
to work in Alaska...

...on a very special project

that involved
something underground

that put out a lot of energy.

There were mining shaft
elevators on the surface.

He would go down to the base

of a huge underground pyramid.

His work was
to try to understand

how this was giving off

what they estimated was
a gigantic amount of energy.

But he never would talk,

because this was
a government secret.

There is no doubt in my mind
that there is a cover-up

going on and that something

was found there in Alaska.

I think the reason
why it's been covered up

is that we would have
to completely rewrite

the science of human origins.

The concept that at one point
there was a global

industrialized
civilization that had reached

a technology that is,
in fact, superior to our own

because we cannot easily
build pyramids like this today.

NARRATOR:
Could it be, as some ancient astronaut theorists suggest,

that the United States
government

is hiding the Alaskan pyramid

until they can fully comprehend
and harness its power?

Perhaps the answer
can be found 4,400 miles away.

Central China.

1945.

While transporting supplies
from India,

U.S. Army Air Corps pilot
James Gaussman

spots a mysterious structure

that becomes known
as "the Great White Pyramid."

One of the most unusual stories
of pyramids

came out of World War II.

The story is of
an American pilot who was flying

the Burma Hump over
to Chungking in Central China.

And what he claimed he saw was
a huge pyramid in the valley.

With a gigantic crystal capstone
on the top of it.

NARRATOR: Two years later,
The New York Times reported

that Colonel Maurice Sheahan,

another American aviator
flying over Central China,

spotted a 1,000-foot-high
pyramid in the same area.

Since then,
many more pyramidal structures

have been discovered
throughout the region,

some of them
covered in vegetation,

seemingly camouflaged
to look like natural formations.

But the Chinese government
denies that there

are any pyramids
in China at all,

claiming that any structures
resembling pyramids

are actually burial mounds
from the Han dynasty.

There are a number of
large pyramids in Central China.

But the Chinese government
has gone out of their way

to try to dismiss the idea
that these mounds are pyramids.

Still to this day, the subject

of the Chinese pyramids
is very rarely discussed.

However,
you can go on Google Earth

and you can see the pyramids of
the Xi'an province for yourself

by just zooming in on this area
but the Chinese government

does not want you to go
in this area, it is declared

off-limits to everyone except

for the local peasant farmers
in that region.

What are they hiding?

NARRATOR: Could these pyramids
reveal a different version

of history than what the Chinese
government wants us to know?

Curiously,
other modern discoveries

of pyramids have been met
with similar denials.

In 2005, Dr. Sam Osmanagich--

a professor of anthropology

and amateur archaeologist--

announced that he had found

five ancient pyramids
hidden in Bosnia,

a claim
that the Bosnian government

initially supported,
but then later denied.

When I first saw
the pyramids in Bosnia,

they looked like hills.

But you could see the regular
geometry, four triangular faces,

obvious corners,
and when I took compass,

compass shows me that those
sides match cardinal points.

I knew immediately that these
were artificial structures

below the layers
of soil and vegetation.

They tell us
that the pyramids were

built only
in Egypt and Mexico, wrong.

They are built
on all six continents,

from Asia, Africa, Europe,

Central, North,
and South America.

So they're
a worldwide phenomena.

In 21st century,
we will need to establish

a new science
which will finally answer

the question to who,
when, how and why

build the oldest
and the most superior pyramids.

NARRATOR: But why would
governments around the world

want to try and discredit these
new discoveries of pyramids?

JASON MARTELL: World
governments might not want to be

forthcoming
with this information.

Just like we've seen
with the Chinese government,

places like Alaska and others

might also hold hidden wealth's
of archaeological finds

that we still have yet
to uncover.

NARRATOR: Are there ancient
pyramids that are deliberately

being kept secret
from the public?

If so, might their existence

expose guarded truths about
Earth's extraterrestrial past,

as ancient astronaut theorists
propose?

Perhaps further clues
can be found by exploring

one of the world's tallest

ancient structures,
the Great Pyramid of Egypt.

? ?

Welcome to Egypt, Giorgio.

It has been 18 years
since my last visit and...

in those 18 years,
I have researched so much.

It is such an exciting time.

And I can't wait to see
everything

with new eyes.

NARRATOR:
In April 2018,

ancient astronaut theorist
and explorer,

Giorgio Tsoukalos,
traveled to Cairo

in the company of Egyptologist
and Cairo native,

Ramy Romany.

Joining them
is Dr. Giulio Magli,

a professor
of archaeoastromony

from the Polytechnic University
in Milan, Italy.

Giorgio is eager
to see firsthand,

whether or not the recent
scientific discoveries

concerning the Great Pyramid
could provide

further evidence of the theory

that extraterrestrials visited
Egypt thousands of years ago.

I am personally very excited

to take you
inside the pyramid because

the Great Pyramid of Giza
is not only

one of the seven ancient wonders
of the world,

it's the most
ancient one of them all.

And the only one standing,
Giorgio.

- Yeah.
- And that's what we're gonna see today.

You know, I-I find very exciting

to be able to share
and exchange information.

Because what's happened
recently, in my opinion,

has turned Egyptology
upside down.

Absolutely. I completely agree.

And so I think
that for both of us it will be

great as well,
because every time you go there,

- this is like, uh, first time.
- Absolutely.

Yes.

In November 2017,

media outlets
around the world announced

the discovery of what
could be an enormous chamber

within
the Great Pyramid of Giza.

If it can be verified,
it would be the first major find

inside the pyramid
since the 19th century,

and a possible game-changer
in understanding

both the pyramid
and the people who built it.

TSOUKALOS: The discovery
of that void is sensational,

because it opens up
the whole discussion

to more questions
and to new answers.

The process,
known as "muography,"

detected a chamber
that appears to be so large

it could fit the entire Statue
of Liberty from head to toe.

ROMANY:
This is it guys, the pyramids.

TSOUKALOS:
Wow!

Okay.

(exhales)

This is...

- BOTH: ...incredible.
- ROMANY: Look at the size of this thing.

Every single block
is bigger than this car.

TSOUKALOS: Yeah.
It is insane, it really is.

ROMANY:
Are you ready for some climbing?

TSOUKALOS: I have goose bumps
on my calves right now.

Oftentimes we throw around

the words awesome or monumental,

and we don't really think
about these words.

But when you stand
in front of the Great Pyramid,

the word "awesome"
is, in fact, true.

Built from more than
two million limestone blocks,

each weighing
thousands of pounds,

the pyramid is aligned perfectly
to the cardinal points

of the compass:
north, south, east, and west,

suggesting that its builders

possessed extraordinary
geographical knowledge.

According to
mainstream Egyptologists,

the Great Pyramid was built
by the Pharaoh Khufu,

who reigned
from 2589 to 2566 BC,

during the Fourth Dynasty
of the Old Kingdom.

But this notion
is hotly contested,

as it is based entirely
on a single

and very controversial
discovery.

In 1837,

British explorer,
Richard Howard Vyse,

claimed to have found the name
of Khufu graffitied

onto a stone roof
of a chamber inside the pyramid.

However, it was later
discovered that Vyse

had written in his private
journal that he found nothing

in the chamber
that looked like hieroglyphics.

Some modern researchers
suspect it may have been

a forgery by Vyse's team
to ensure

that his expensive expedition
was considered

a rousing success.

One of the problems
with Egyptology

is that it's something
that started in the late 1800s.

And a lot of it
is sort of solidified

within the university system.

But Egyptologists and
archaeologists and geologists

are discovering new things
about Egypt all of the time

that completely shakes
the foundations

of what they thought
they knew about ancient Egypt.

We're even finding there are
structures in Egypt much older

than what the mainstream
Egyptians would say.

NARRATOR: As far
as ancient astronaut theorists

and a number of prominent
archaeologists are concerned,

the Great Pyramid
was likely built

long before the reign of Khufu.

There are some who believe

the colossal structure
could even be more

than 10,000 years old,

and date back
to a period pre-dating

that of the great flood.

The main reason this
pyramid is the most magnificent

of all of them is not because
what you're seeing here.

It's what you're about to see.

It's what's inside. Let's go.

NARRATOR: Is it possible
that whatever lies

within the newly discovered void

in the Great Pyramid
will reveal not only

incredible truths
about ancient Egypt,

but about the history
of humankind?

Could there be clues
that reveal that Egypt was

once home to an extraterrestrial
civilization?

NARRATOR:
During his first visit to Eqypt in nearly two decades,

ancient astronaut theorist,
Giorgio Tsoukalos,

is eager to find out
about a recent discovery

concerning
a possible hidden chamber

located deep inside the walls
of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

- This way.
- NARRATOR: With him, are Egyptologist

Ramy Romany
and archaeoastromoner,

Dr. Giulio Magli.

They are making their way
to what is called

"the Grand Gallery,"
which can only be reached

after walking up
a 200-foot-long passageway.

Directly above their heads is
the area where an international

team of scientists
believe they may have located

an enormous hidden chamber

more than 100 feet long.

So this is it,
the Grand Gallery.

You look at this,
and you think they made this

more than 4,000 years ago.

They actually built this.

This is incredible.

ROMANY:
From here to the ceiling, it's about ten meters high

and it goes about 50 meters in,
which is 150 feet deep.

I mean, that just gives
you an idea

of how huge this place is.

And it's perfect.

The blocks, they fit together,
and no mortar was used.

And you can't even put a money
bill in between the fittings.

And this is what type of stone
that we're looking at in here?

Unlike the rest
of the pyramid, this

- is red granite.
- TSOUKALOS: Red granite, right.

Red granite doesn't
come from a local quarry

- like the limestone does. Aswan.
- MAGLI: It comes from Aswan?

- So that's
1,000 kilometers away. - ROMANY: 1,000 kilometers away.

TSOUKALOS:
600 miles?

So, you think the void is
right on top of our heads here?

And how big is it in relation
to where we're standing?

Okay, wow.

NARRATOR: The news
of a possible fourth chamber

within the Great Pyramid
has become a source

of great controversy

inside
the archaeological community.

They have long held
the belief that pyramids were

essentially built
as burial vaults,

each possessing
no more than three chambers.

Archaeologists
and Egyptologists claim

that they were tombs
for the pharaohs and yet

no Egyptian pharaoh was ever
found in a pyramid in Egypt.

We have found the mummies
of many Egyptian pharaohs,

but they're found in vaults
deep underground

at the Valley of the Kings
in Luxor

hundreds of miles
away from the pyramids.

The pyramids have
no real explanation

of what their purpose was.

In your opinion, what do you
think is inside

that void
that was just discovered?

Can you elaborate
on that iron throne?

NARRATOR:
A throne?

Containing pieces
of metal found in a meteorite?

Could such an object
really be embedded

inside a secret chamber

located within
the Great Pyramid of Giza?

According to what are referred
to as the Pyramid Texts--

a collection
of ancient religious texts

that were carved
on the walls and sarcophagi

of the pyramids at Saqqara
more than 4,000 years ago--

the god Osiris,
and his wife Isis,

came to Earth
from the constellation of stars

known as Orion's Belt,

and it is from them
that all human life originates.

JONATHAN YOUNG:
Osiris was the central god

of the Egyptian system,

and he was the god of fertility.

And Chthonic, that is
the god of the Earth.

And died and was reborn
in his son Horus.

So you have the cycle
of death and rebirth.

And this is part
of the-the Book of the Dead.

So the pharaoh, the king,
would die and be resurrected.

NARRATOR:
According to the story, Osiris had an iron throne

that was coveted by many

who sought to possess
its awesome powers.

One of these was
Osiris's brother Set,

who murdered Osiris in an effort
to obtain the throne.

HENRY:
Throughout ancient Egypt and the temples,

we see depictions of the gods,

extraterrestrial beings
on their thrones.

These thrones are feathered

because they are
ascension vehicles.

They are vehicles that take
them to the stars and back.

I think it's very possible

that the throne is in that void.

When we found this pyramid,
there was no mummy.

There were-- there were
no treasures, no nothing,

no hieroglyphics, nothing.

What if all this that
we're looking at is a decoy?

TSOUKALOS:
You just raised a very interesting point.

The fact that we've come
so far into this chamber,

and the entire way,
not a single hieroglyphic.

Because throughout
the rest of Egypt,

the walls are plastered
with inscriptions

telling the story of how it
was built and by whom and when.

Yet, here, so far,
complete anonymity.

Absolutely.

NARRATOR:
Because the walls inside the Great Pyramid

contain no hieroglyphics,

and there is no evidence
that the colossal structure

was ever used
as a tomb or temple,

there has been
increasing speculation

as to its original purpose.

One theory,
held by numerous scientists

and archaeo-engineers,
is that the pyramid,

and others like it,
may have been built

as one in an enormous network
of power plants.

Christopher Dunn's theories
indicate

that some of these pyramids
had chemicals mixed in them.

And, in fact, studies
of his working devices

have shown that this
probably would work.

CHRISTOPHER DUNN:
The pyramids were actually geomechanical devices.

In other words,
they were attached to the Earth,

they were tuned to vibrate with
the frequencies of the Earth

and they converted
the energies of the Earth

into electromagnetic energy.

The best example of this
is in the-the Great Pyramid.

It's probably the most precise
structure on the planet.

NARRATOR:
According to Christopher Dunn's theory,

the process of generating energy
began with drawing water

from the nearby Nile river to
the base of the Great Pyramid.

Right in front
of the door of the...

entrance door of the Great
Pyramid, there used to be

a well shaft,
which was documented in 1857.

And so the water
would just gravity-feed down

into, basically, a moat
around the Great Pyramid

and then go down the entrance
shaft down under the ground.

The water was used
in the subterranean chamber.

It is a water pump.

I believe the water was used
to cause a compression wave

and cause the pyramid
to resonate.

DUNN:
So, in the Queen's Chamber, two chemicals were introduced:

hydrated zinc
through the northern shaft

and a dilute hydrochloric acid
through the southern shaft.

Now, this vessel represents
the Queen's Chamber.

Into the tubes we're going
to pour hydrated zinc...

...and then hydrochloric acid.

When you bring
these two liquids together,

a chemical reaction occurs.

And a product of that chemical
reaction is hydrogen.

And you can see the vapor,
the hydrogen,

escaping through the chimney.

And there you have the reaction.

NARRATOR:
Adding credibility

to Chris Dunn's
remarkable theory

is the fact that traces

of both zinc
and hydrochloric acid

have recently been found
in the shafts

leading to the so-called
Queen's Chamber.

Might the Great Pyramid
of Giza have been designed

as part of an enormous network
of ancient power plants,

not 4,000 years ago,
but much, much earlier,

and by a civilization with
incredibly advanced knowledge?

Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,

and believe more evidence
can be found

by exploring additional pyramids
throughout Egypt

and by examining the legends

concerning
a mysterious capstone,

and its direct link to
extraterrestrial visitations.

NARRATOR:
This ancient necropolis,

located 15 miles south
of the Giza Plateau,

is home to what
mainstream archaeologists

suggest is the first pyramid
ever built in Egypt,

the Step Pyramid of King Djoser.

The Step Pyramid at Saqqara

is known as the stairway
to heaven.

The complex is vast,
it's about 40 acres,

entirely walled in.

There's a 30-foot wall
with 13 false doors.

You only get in if you know
where the right door is.

NARRATOR:
Curiously,

the only reason why the pyramid
is believed to have been built

as a tomb for King Djoser
is that statues of the monarch

were found inside the pyramid.

Like all other pyramids,

there was no credible evidence
that a body

- was ever entombed there.
- (speaking indistinctly)

Now, this pyramid
is 5,000 years old.

TSOUKALOS:
That's amazing.

So is all of this
made out of-- from mudbrick?

Correct.
This was all made of mudbrick,

just similar to that era.

The leap between this

and then the Great Pyramid
of Giza was massive.

NARRATOR:
In recent years, the conventional notion

that the Step Pyramid was built
only 80 years earlier

than the Great Pyramid of Giza
has been challenged,

not only by ancient astronaut
theorists

but also an increasing number
of archaeologists and scholars.

They believe that the likelihood

that Egyptians
went from building

a 200-foot-tall step pyramid
out of mudbricks

to building a monumental marvel
like the Great Pyramid

in only 80 years
to be a virtual absurdity.

They also believe
that the mathematical precision

of the Great Pyramid's
construction,

coupled with
its precise alignments

not only with regard
to Earth's cardinal directions

but also
to the Orion constellation,

is proof that it was built by
a highly advanced civilization.

SCOTT CREIGHTON:
One of the things you find, for example,

is that if you take
the geodetic location

of the Great Pyramid
as a decimal degree...

NARRATOR:
According to ancient astronaut theory,

the Great Pyramid
was most likely built

more than 12,000 years ago,

some 7,000 years before the
building of the step pyramid,

and sometime before
the cataclysmic event

known as the great flood.

They also believe
that after the flood,

the original function
of the Great Pyramid

as a power plant
was long forgotten,

along with all of mankind's

other technological
achievements,

and that it would take
a series of interventions

by other
extraterrestrial visitors

to help humans rebuild
the world they once knew.

TSOUKALOS:
In the-the text that we can read about Djoser,

does he mention at all, uh,

how he was inspired
to build this?

It was one brilliant man.

That man was called Imhotep.

- Okay.
- Who, in history, came out of nowhere.

He was the designer
and engineer of that pyramid.

What does "Imhotep"
actually mean?

It means--
I know you're gonna like this--

it means "I come in peace."

- Oh, really?
That's very interesting. - Yes.

So, the extraterrestrial
greeting, so to speak.

Yes.

He showed up into the life
of the king out of nowhere.

And then ascended
into position so quickly,

which is very uncommon
in ancient Egypt.

What does that mean? What do
you mean, "out of nowhere"?

Did he drop from the sky,

- or did he come
from another land? - (chuckles)

In Egyptian history,
you can normally trace

every position
back to their parents.

But Imhotep, nothing.

YOUNG:
Imhotep was a commoner,

but a brilliant thinker
who grew to great influence

during the time of the pharaohs
that he served,

and then became
virtually immortalized.

That is,
unlike any other commoner,

a cult formed around him.

Some have suspected

that he was possibly Joseph
from the Bible.

That's interesting
because Joseph was an adviser

to the pharaoh in about
the same period of time.

What we know for sure

is that he was a brilliant
scientist for his day.

HENRY:
Imhotep rose to the incredible status

as the vizier, or wizard,
to the pharaoh.

This is where we get
that word "wizard" from, vizier.

There are great mysteries
about who Imhotep was,

where he came from.

This is interesting, because
later on, Imhotep is deified.

And what's fascinating
is the depictions of him.

He looks like he's got
this oversized head.

He's got strange-looking hands,
he almost looks nonhuman.

And one of
the extraordinary texts

tell us that his knowledge
may have come from the stars.

Did Imhotep himself ever mention

where he was educated or how
he came by the knowledge

of building something
like this, for example?

ROMANY:
In ancient Egyptian history,

Imhotep spoke like
a true ancient Egyptian.

And everything he has,

his beauty, his knowledge,

and everything he has
is from the gods.

Do we know how long he lived?

That is also a mystery.

We don't know how he died,
but he was buried in a tomb.

And that tomb was
around here in Saqqara.

The tomb of Imhotep
has never been found.

- So far, right?
- So far.

But look around you,
the desert is massive.

When the tomb of Imhotep
is discovered,

it will be the discovery
of the century.

NARRATOR:
If the tomb of Imhotep is discovered,

will it provide further evidence
that ancient Egyptian legends

of gods descending to Earth from
the stars are based on fact?

Perhaps.

But until that day comes,
there are many who believe

that proof of humankind's

extraterrestrial ancestry
already exists,

in the form of curiously carved
pyramid-shaped objects

known as Benben stones.

ROMANY:
This is it, Giorgio.

One of the many Benben
stones, or pyramidions,

inside the museum.

Look at it.

It's absolutely magnificent.

And it's perfect.

- Absolutely.
- I mean, if you look at it,

there's not a single mistake
anywhere.

Just wonderful.

I'm familiar with
the stories of the Benben,

And I'm fascinated
that sometimes,

it was described as this shape
descending from the sky

with a lot of smoke
and a lot of fire.

And then a door opened
and people walked out.

So, to me, as a mythology,
that is fascinating, because...

- where did that story originate?
- Yeah.

NARRATOR:
According to mainstream Egyptologists,

the story of the Benben stone
is part of a religious allegory,

conceived by ancient Egyptians
to explain

how humankind was created.

But according
to ancient astronaut theorists,

the stone is based on
an actual historical event,

one that pre-dates the building
of the Great Pyramid

by thousands of years.

TSOUKALOS:
So, when I hear a story

like the Benben stone,

I wonder if this may have been
some type of a craft.

Egyptologists agree
that this type of a shape

descended from the sky
in a giant fireball,

made a controlled landing,

the Benben stone opened
and people walked out.

The first creator gods.

In my opinion,
I think these gods

were flesh-and-blood
space travelers

whom the ancient Egyptians
and many other ancient cultures

misinterpreted
as divine or spiritual beings

because of their technological
frame of reference

of their current time.

This ties in directly
with the idea

of misunderstood technology.

When a technologically
primitive society interacts

with a technologically
advanced society,

the primitive society begins
to worship the advanced society.

I've once read
that a Benben stone

can also be considered
the home of the gods.

- Yes.
- From my perspective,

then that would be proof of
extraterrestrial intervention.

Right here, this is
a physical piece of evidence

that, a long time ago,
someone descended from the sky

and taught mankind
in various disciplines.

NARRATOR:
If the original Benben stone

was inspired by
an actual alien spacecraft,

as many ancient astronaut
theorists believe,

does the legend surrounding it
further suggest

that Egypt was one
of the centers

of extraterrestrial activity
on our planet?

Ancient astronaut theorists
say the answer

is a profound yes,
and they suggest

that further evidence
can be found not by examining

ancient Egyptian scrolls
and hieroglyphs,

but by carefully reading
the pages of the Holy Bible.

NARRATOR:
Cairo, Egypt.

The 14th century AD.

Egyptian historian
al-Maqrizi begins work

on a series of writings
that propose

that the history
of the Giza Plateau

dates back much further
than what is accepted

by the mainstream historians
of his day.

He has concluded
that the Great Pyramid

and the Sphinx were not
constructed in 2500 BC

but thousands of years earlier,
by a king named Surid.

ERICH VON D �NIKEN:
Now, according to the usual knowledge,

we believe that
the Great Pyramid

was constructed
by the fourth dynasty,

more or less, two and a half
thousand years from now.

But old Arabian traditions,

for example,
Ibrahim Abdulla al-Masudi,

they say that the Great Pyramid
was constructed

by a ruler--
his name was Surid--

and they say "Surid" is the same
which the Hebrew called "Enoch."

Now, Arabian notation
says Enoch plus Methuselah

constructed the Great Pyramid.

NARRATOR:
Enoch?

The same Enoch
who was written about

in one of the so-called
"lost chapters of the Bible,"

who supposedly
was taken up to heaven

by angels called watchers

in order for him
to observe the human race?

Could he really have been
the same person

who was responsible for the
building of the Great Pyramid

more than 12,000 years ago?

HENRY:
The Book of Enoch is a text

that is believed to have been
written by the Essenes,

Jewish mystics, sometime between
the third and second century BC.

And in the story, they tell
how one of the watcher angels,

the archangel Michael,
came to Earth

and took Enoch
into the heavenly realms,

to the throne of God,

where Enoch is educated
by the angels

and given an opportunity
to return to Earth

to share the accumulated
knowledge that he received.

It's very similar to what
we see in the Pyramid Texts,

where the pharaoh is taken
into the stellar realms,

where his body
becomes like lightning,

where the doors of heaven
are opened,

and where a human then
can be educated by the gods.

NARRATOR:
Are the so-called Pyramid Texts,

and the Hebrew Bible's
apocryphal Book of Enoch,

both referencing
the same period in prehistory?

A period where
extraterrestrial beings,

referred to as gods,
ruled the Earth?

Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,

and believe further evidence
can be found

by closely examining
ancient texts

concerning a race of angels

that are referred to
as the watchers.

ARIEL BAR TZADOK:
In the Bible,

there's a very curious passage

that speaks about
the sons of God

who came down from heaven

and took daughters of men
as brides,

from which came forth
the mighty ones.

They came down with knowledge.

Knowledge which we today
would understand

as technology and science,
and they became corrupted.

They made matters worse,
not better.

And this is what led to God's
decision to bring the flood.

NARRATOR: According
to the Book of Enoch,

the watchers were sent by God

in order to help mankind
on Earth.

But after a number
of these watchers

had sex with human women,

and produced children
in the form of giant mutants

known as the Nephilim,

God caused a great flood that
was intended to destroy them,

along with all those
who disobeyed his will.

Our main knowledge
of the Nephilim

comes not just from the Bible,

but also from the Book of Enoch,

and also
the so-called Book of Giants.

The Book of Giants says
that they were destroyed

in a cataclysm
that not only involved a deluge,

but also fire
that came out of the sky.

And I think that we can
connect this story

with what we call the Younger
Dryas comet impact event

that took place
around 10,800 BC,

that is known to have had
a massive effect

upon the northern hemisphere
at this time.

NARRATOR: If, as ancient
astronaut theorists believe,

the foundations of ancient
biblical and Egyptian texts

are not based
on mere imagination,

but on actual historical events,

then it serves to strengthen
their contention that the roots

of ancient Egypt stretch
back far earlier than currently

believed by mainstream
scholars and archaeologists.

Archaeology is rooted
in interpretation,

just like the ancient
astronaut theory.

I'm still of the personal
opinion that the Great Pyramid

complex, including the Sphinx,
dates back to a time when

the gods walked among humans.

Something extraordinary happened
right here in ancient Egypt.

Perhaps under the tutelage of

extraterrestrials.

Teachers from another
star system.

NARRATOR:
If extraterrestrials really did inhabit Egypt

thousands of years before
the first human pharaohs,

did they play a role
in the construction of pyramids

found scattered
across the globe?

And might this association
further support the notion

that these structures once
served a technological purpose?

Perhaps further evidence can
be found by exploring enigmatic

pyramids located thousands
of miles away in Teotihuacan.

NARRATOR:
Mexico City.

Beneath the current-day
capital of Mexico

lie the ruins of
the ancient Aztec metropolis

known as Tenochtitlan.

The Aztecs dominated
much of Central Mexico

from the 14th
to the 16th century AD.

And Tenochtitlan is
considered to be their first

official settlement.

An incredibly sophisticated city

featuring a grid system
of canals and causeways.

But according to
their historical texts,

the Aztec civilization
did not originate here.

The Aztecs say they started
from this place

up in the north called
Chicomoztoc.

It was a cave, and inside
that cave it had seven different

caverns, and there were said
to be seven different tribes.

And the Aztecs say
they were part of the seven

tribes that came from the seven
chambers of Chicomoztoc.

NARRATOR:
While Chicomoztoc was once thought

to be a mythological place,

some scholars believe
archaeological evidence suggests

that it really did exist,
and is located at the site of

the ancient pyramid complex
known today as Teotihuacan.

BARNHART:
The place of Seven Caves

we think maybe that
has actually been

located archaeologically...

...at the site of
the main temple

of Teotihuacan called
the Pyramid of the Sun,

which sits just north
of the Valley of Mexico.

Underneath it is actually
a cave with

seven different spots
that it extends out into.

And that's where the Aztecs said

their original ancestors
came from.

NARRATOR:
In the 16th century,

Spanish chronicler
Ger�nimo de Mendieta

recorded the legends
of the local native population.

According to their accounts,

the Aztec believed
that they were fashioned

by a group of stranded gods
within these seven caves.

YOUNG:
Mendieta wrote an account of Aztec legend.

In this report,
he describes a giant flint knife

landing on the Earth.

And the Earth was trembling

and shaking as this
enormous flint knife landed.

Then, some 1,600 gods
disgorged from this thing,

and they are responsible for
launching Aztec civilization.

BARNHART:
The Aztecs talk about the many gods

coming down to Earth
and creating humans.

They create them out of bone,
ash and their own blood.

And they make them
somewhat in their own image.

But they make them
specifically so that they will

honor them,
and they will serve them.

TSOUKALOS:
All of a sudden there is a description

of a giant flint knife
that descended from the sky,

and somebody emerged out of it.

One has to wonder
whether or not our ancestors

were witness to a landing
of some type of a craft.

If so, then the Aztec story
suggests that at some point

in our history,

extraterrestrials created
mankind.

And something very strange
was going on at Teotihuacan.

NARRATOR:
Located just 30 miles northeast of Mexico City,

the Teotihuacan complex
encompasses nearly

eight square miles,

and is dated to
the first century AD.

It is the oldest
and most sophisticated

city of Mesoamerica,
an area that extends from

Northern Mexico down
through Central America.

The civilization
predated the Maya

by at least 100 years.

At its peak,
it was said to have supported

nearly 100,000 residents.

It was also the largest city

in the entire western hemisphere

prior to the 15th century,

and served as the major
commerce and religious center

for the region.

BARNHART:
The significance of Teotihuacan

cannot be overstated.

It is the Rome of Mesoamerica.

The things that Teotihuacan did

set the pattern for all
other city states after it.

NARRATOR:
The central features of the complex

are two large pyramids,

known as the Pyramid of the Sun
and the Pyramid of the Moon...

...as well as a temple
dedicated to Quetzalcoatl,

the feathered serpent.

These structures stand
alongside a thoroughfare

referred to
as the Avenue of the Dead.

Over 200 smaller buildings,
platforms and pyramids

are found
adjacent to the Avenue.

And there are thousands
of living quarters

just outside the complex.

But as incredible as Teotihuacan
is, no one knows exactly

who built this metropolis, or
what happened to its occupants.

BARNHART:
Teotihuacan, despite its size, has no hieroglyphs whatsoever.

There are other
cultures in Mesoamerica

that were using writing systems.

There's nothing like that
at Teotihuacan.

So we don't really have
a clear history

of what happened at Teotihuacan.

And we can't really find

evidence of their rulers.

...to develop a complete,
huge complex citadel...

WILL HART:
We have such a sophisticated site that embodies

engineering principles,
craftsmanship, art.

Where did it originate?

Where are the smaller
versions of this?

Well, we don't find any,
so, we don't have a progression,

an evolution to show
where this came from.

So, we have to ask
where did it come from?

WILCOCK: We've become
conditioned to look at these

awesome works of stone
architecture and think,

oh, primitive people did that,

and they used primitive methods
and primitive technology.

But we have to rethink
the fundamental assumptions

and come to a greater and
greater level of understanding

that the technology required
to build these artifacts,

in fact, is greater than
anything that they possessed.

NARRATOR:
But based on the local lore of the region,

ancient astronaut theorists
suggest that the original

builders of the site may not
have been human at all.

YOUNG:
All of the people in this area felt this city

was a sacred site
connected to a divine realm.

The population along the coast
were the Totonac.

They believed
that the place was founded by

a dozen sky gods,
the lords of thunder.

(thunder rumbling)

Other nearby Mesoamerican
cultures had their own theories.

One associated the site
with the feathered serpent god,

Quetzalcoatl, who was
said to have come from Venus.

It was the Aztecs who gave
the place its name,

Teotihuacan: City of the Gods.

The name speaks for itself.

So one has to ask
the question, what gods?

Who were they?
Were they just a figment

of our ancestors' imagination,
or did they see someone?

Did somebody visit them
to essentially

jumpstart civilization?

NARRATOR:
If Teotihuacan truly was founded by extraterrestrial

visitors in the remote past,
just how old might the site be?

And could this ancient city
still hold evidence

of alien visitation?

NARRATOR: Every year,
millions of tourists

visit the ancient ruins
of Teotihuacan.

But most are unaware
that many of the buildings

they see throughout the complex

have been erected
upon much older structures.

The Pyramid of the Sun is
believed to consist of a total

of five layers of pyramids,
one built on top of the next,

like a Russian nesting doll.

Curiously,
the oldest layers are said

to exhibit the most advanced
building techniques.

Evidence of this older
stonework can still be found

scattered in parts
of the complex,

including a largely
off-limits area

behind the Pyramid
of the Feathered Serpent.

This enormous stone
has been very finely cut

by the inhabitants
of Teotihuacan.

NARRATOR:
Local researcher Marco Vigato

has gained unprecedented
access to this part of the site.

NARRATOR:
When archaeologist Leopoldo Batres started

excavating the site in 1884,

he discovered
the pyramids were buried

in upwards of 12 feet of earth.

He surmised that only
a catastrophic event

could account for
the devastation.

HART: It was covered under
a deep layer of earth.

And we have to ask why?

How did it get covered
in so much dirt?

It would require
an enormous amount

of time for nature to do it.

Unless you have
a catastrophic flood involved.

CHILDRESS:
You have to ask yourself, was there some big

cataclysm that occurred
here in prehistory?

Possibly even the great flood
that is spoken of

in various mythologies
around the world?

This could mean that Teotihuacan
is actually many,

many thousands of years older
than what archaeologists say.

NARRATOR:
According to the accounts recorded by Spanish chroniclers

when they initially
made contact with the locals,

the Aztec believed
that they were one of seven

tribes to be created
by the gods at a time after

the world had been wiped clean
due to a catastrophic event.

They were the last group
to leave the caves

where they were created in
order to repopulate the world.

Teotihuacan is where
they believe the gods had

created humanity,
had created all things.

Had created the Sun, which they
referred to as the fifth sun.

The Aztecs had a cosmology
that involved five ages.

They were solar ages,
about 5,000 years long,

and each one terminates
in a disaster.

The fourth age
was called the water sun,

and it was presided over
by the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue.

She was the goddess
who at the end of the age

poured the deluge on the Earth
and flooded everything.

NARRATOR:
If the origins of the site are thousands of years older

than mainstream archaeologists
suggest,

might this help explain
why even after

decades of excavations,
they still haven't found

evidence of who
the site's rulers were.

And could it also
shed new light on recent

perplexing discoveries?

Torrential rains sweep
through the ruins of this

ancient pyramid complex...

...leaving a three-foot-wide
sinkhole at the foot

of one of the site's
most important structures,

the Temple of
the Feathered Serpent.

Archaeologists immediately
begin exploring the cavity.

What they found is the tunnel
leading from outside the temple

all the way to about centerline
underneath the temple.

It was very filled in, probably
by the Teotihuacanos themselves.

But it's been
a slow process to excavate.

Halfway through down
the tunnel, we find these

two chambers on either side.

As they continued down,

they found three more chambers
at the end.

And those hold
some incredible things.

There were many
jade statues in there...

...and ceramics.

NARRATOR:
In April 2015, after nearly 12 years of excavations,

archaeologist Sergio G�mez

and his team make another
shocking discovery.

Directly underneath
the center of the pyramid,

they have located
a vast pool of liquid mercury.

What makes this so interesting
is that the mercury

cannot exist
in its native form in nature.

There is a natural "minerallac"
material called cinnabar,

and in order to get mercury

you have to extract it
out of the cinnabar,

which requires a complex process
involving high temperatures.

TSOUKALOS:
It's a highly toxic element, it is difficult to extract.

So the logistics behind this
are incredible.

How was it transported there?

Where did it come from,
and for what purpose?

Also, how did our ancestors

handle liquid mercury
without them dying out?

Interestingly enough,
the only other site

that features liquid mercury
is in China,

inside the tomb
of the first emperor.

How come there is liquid
mercury in a tomb in China...

...and now they've discovered
liquid mercury in Teotihuacan?

One has to ask the question,
what was it used for?

NARRATOR:
Liquid mercury is a superconductor,

and in our modern technological
age, this class of elements

is being used in
revolutionary applications

such as free-energy generation,
advanced medical imaging,

and cutting-edge
transportation projects.

But why would there be
vast amounts of mercury

found under a nearly
2,000-year-old pyramid?

Could it have served
a technological purpose?

NARRATOR: Just two years
prior to the astounding

discovery of liquid
mercury at Teotihuacan,

archaeologist Sergio G�mez
and his team made another

curious find: hundreds
of gold-colored metallic spheres

scattered in the same tunnel

beneath the Temple
of the Feathered Serpent.

The spheres ranged in diameter
from just one inch

up to five inches.

There were hundreds of them.

On the exterior,
they were burned pyrite.

And on the interior,
they're mostly clay.

In fact, the entire chamber
seems to have flecks of

this golden pyrite, or
fool's gold, all over it.

I've never seen
anything like it.

I do not know
what these things are,

what their meaning is.

To my knowledge, we've never
found a chamber like that

anywhere in Mesoamerica,

certainly nowhere
in Teotihuacan.

It's an enigma, and neither I
nor any of my colleagues know

what to make of it.

One of the findings
of the analysis

of these golden spheres

was that there are
substances in them

that can't be identified,
can't be related to

other known Earth substances.

The archaeologists
themselves cannot explain

how these were formed,
why is there

anomalous organic material
within them

or what purpose did they serve.

We have to wonder
what these pyramids

and this whole structure
is about.

What are these
golden spheres about?

And why is there mercury
inside of this pyramid?

It's almost like
some kind of alien technology

is being used at Teotihuacan,

but we don't understand it.

NARRATOR:
The recent finds of mercury

and the inexplicable
golden spheres

only add to
the mystery of the site.

In 1906,
archaeologist Leopoldo Batres

discovered layers of
mica throughout

the Teotihuacan complex.

The discovery of
entire sheets of this material,

which is used in electrical
and thermal applications,

has baffled researchers

as it has not been found

in any other
ancient architecture.

In a couple of different
places in Teotihuacan,

we've discovered sheets of mica.

The first reports of them

were supposedly that
Leopold Batres had found

these large sheets of mica

on top of the Temple of the Sun.

NARRATOR:
Since that first discovery,

entire chambers lined with mica

have allegedly been found
at different locations

along the Avenue of the Dead,

but the areas are now
off-limits to visitors.

Ever since the late 1990s,

the Mexican government...

NARRATOR:
In the 1970s,

author and researcher
Erich von D �niken

got a firsthand look
into one of these mica chambers.

I was brought there by

a local archaeologist
who loved my books,

and he said he can
show me a mystery.

And there is a room,
and the room has a ceiling

and has, of course, four walls.

And in the four walls,
you see mica.

This mica is
put in artificially.

It's like an insulation.

First you have stone,
then you have a level of mica,

about ten centimeters,
and then, again, stone.

From this chamber,
where the mica is,

there is a hole, and the hole
is insulated with mica,

and I have been told

that the hole goes inside
the great pyramid,

the Pyramid of the Sun
in Teotihuacan.

That will be the next discovery.

NARRATOR: Today, mica
is used as a heat shield

in electronic
and aerospace industries.

It has the unique properties of

being a good insulator
of electricity

as well as a conductor of heat

and it is able
to resist temperatures

upwards of
1,800 degrees Fahrenheit.

We use mica today
with high technology.

So one has to wonder

why is there a mica chamber
at Teotihuacan?

It's very brittle
but it's incredibly,

incredibly heat resistant.

Why was there any need
for mica in the first place?

NOORY:
There seems to be a correlation though between mica,

liquid mercury
and these orbs or spheres

that all seem to point to
some high technology usage.

What did they know,
how did they know it

is anybody's guess,
but it just sounds like

they needed these
materials for something

and they used them.

We have to wonder, are we
looking at a technology?

We see components of it
that don't make sense

just for a primitive culture.

The pyramids and
the various components

could've been
part of a sophisticated

system of technology.

NARRATOR:
Ancient astronaut theorists propose that the mercury,

mica and gold-colored spheres

may be somehow connected,

and serve as components
of a larger device.

They suggest that
further evidence can be found

at the site by
examining the remnants

of an ancient explosion.

NARRATOR:
Along the Avenue of the Dead,

multiple structures
show evidence

of a catastrophic fire

that consumed portions
of the temple complex.

The damage has been
attributed to

an uprising at the end
of the sixth century,

just before the population

entirely vanished
without a trace.

This structure in particular,

in spite of the many
modern restoration...

NARRATOR:
According to archaeologist Leopoldo Batres,

who surveyed the site
in the late 19th century,

the damage seemed too extensive

to be attributed
to simple torch flames,

leading researchers to explore
alternative explanations.

NARRATOR:
Could the curious finds of mica and mercury at the site

help corroborate the theory
that the burn marks

we see along
the Avenue of the Dead

are from some sort of
mechanical explosion?

Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes,

and they suggest that,
like the Great Pyramid at Giza

and other sites
throughout the globe,

the structures at Teotihuacan
may have once served

as an electromagnetic
power plant.

Researchers proposed
that the pyramids

constructed around the world
are, in fact, power plants.

This is based on
our new knowledge

that they, in fact, are designed

to tap the resonant power
of the Earth

and then to distribute it
around the world.

Teotihuacan matches
precisely this model.

It's built over caverns,

it had liquid mercury and mica
incorporated into its design,

and we know that the gods
came and left from this place.

So, when we put
all the pieces together,

we're looking at Teotihuacan
as yet another example

of the power plants of the gods.

If it was a technological system

that was generating

a lot of energy at some point,

there could've been
a malfunction in it.

If there was energy,
the mica found at the site

was supposed to shield it,

and mercury was also
found at the site,

seems to have been used.

Perhaps we had
some kind of accident there

at some point in time.

NARRATOR:
If Teotihuacan served as an ancient power plant,

generating
electromagnetic energy,

just what role did
the liquid mercury,

recently discovered at the site,

play in such a scenario?

There's stories of mercury
being used in spacecraft.

And some of
the ancient Indian epics

talk about mercury
as part of the Vimanas

and the mechanics
of these craft.

So, here we have the idea that

this mercury that's being found
at archaeological sites

is really part of the propulsion
of some of the craft

that the extraterrestrials
were using here on Earth.

NARRATOR:
Physicist James Lincoln

has been experimenting with
superconductors like mercury,

and the levitation effects

produced in the presence of
strong electromagnetic fields,

such as those suspected of
being generated

by the ancient
pyramid power plants.

Author and researcher
David Wilcock

visited his laboratory to see

how electromagnetism
creates an environment

that allows mercury to levitate.

- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you. Yes.

NARRATOR:
The demonstration will utilize

a conventional
superconductor material

in place of mercury
due to its toxicity.

What am I about to see here?

Now, one of the signatures
of a superconductor is that

once it reaches its
critical temperature,

as being it's cold enough,

it will actually levitate
over a magnetic field.

WILCOCK:
That is unbelievable.

LINCOLN:
We can actually make it go around the track.

This is the signature behavior
of any superconductor

in the presence
of a magnetic field.

It generates electricity
flowing in loops

inside of a superconductor.

- That's why it floats.
- Wow.

There's not really
an upper limit

to how fast this thing can go.

WILCOCK:
So there's a flow of current

in the disc as it's going?

LINCOLN:
Yes.

Once these electric currents
are generated,

it's free and permanent

and can last as long
as you can keep it cold.

WILCOCK:
Wow. Very, very cool.

So, if you had mercury here,

and got it really, really cold,

this same type of effect
would occur

or would we notice
anything different?

LINCOLN:
We would be able to get the same effect

if we managed to
get this cold enough.

- Okay.
- Mercury is also a superconductor.

In fact, it was the first
superconductor ever discovered.

- Okay.
- And this one

can be anywhere,
any orientation,

whether I put it on
forward or backwards,

or even upside down,

it still works.

WILCOCK:
And here, we're seeing it

held perfectly in place,

zipping along on its own.

Now, that is truly remarkable.

This, to me, looks like

a flying saucer.

It does look
a lot like a flying saucer.

In fact, you can
get it to avoid obstacles,

like you would want
from any hovering technology.

So, here I'm placing
some little debris

on the track and
let's see if it can

- get over this pile of sticks.
- Sure.

- No trouble.
- No resistance.

Yeah, so now, you can imagine it

flying over forests
if it was large enough,

and if you managed
to have enough magnetism

on the surface
for that to happen.

Unbelievable.

If this technology
could be scaled up,

could we have something

that, potentially,
people could be able to

ride in as a craft?

LINCOLN:
Yeah, if you keep the superconductor cold.

As you can imagine,

it has to have a chamber
of liquid nitrogen.

- Right.
- And you have enough magnetism

over a surface,
then there's no upper limit

to how big this can be.

So, if there were
some way to make this

a self-contained
continuously cooling unit,

theoretically at least,
would it be able to

keep doing what it's doing
right now indefinitely?

LINCOLN:
Well, yes,

it will last
as long as it stays cold.

People have had superconductors
lasting for years already

with currents flowing in them.

And there's a lot of places
that are cold enough

that that would work.
For example,

- outer space.
- Right.

We're seeing a very
intriguing connection here.

Teotihuacan may be a location
in which exotic technology

was used to create
an electromagnetic field.

And therefore,
the area around the pyramid

may have been an area in which

levitation was much easier
for a flying saucer

that involved
liquid mercury as a fuel.

Teotihuacan may have been
the Cape Canaveral of its day.

Today most space facilities

are built as close to
the equator as possible

to take advantage of
the Earth's rotation.

And Teotihuacan is
relatively near the equator,

and so it would be an ideal spot

as a spaceport for
extraterrestrial vehicles

to land and take off.

NARRATOR:
Is it possible that Teotihuacan

functioned as some sort of
extraterrestrial spaceport?

One capable of generating
electromagnetic power

to support interstellar craft
fueled by liquid mercury?

Perhaps further evidence
can be found

by examining a planetary map

encoded in the city's layout.

NARRATOR:
Archaeologists continue to dig

under the pyramid complex

in an attempt to answer
the many mysteries

of Teotihuacan.

The discoveries of
liquid mercury,

walls lined with mica,

and strange artifacts like
the golden spheres

point to the possibility that
an advanced society

once occupied this city.

But some researchers suggest
even greater clues can be found

by examining the layout
of the entire complex.

Three of the major structures
contained within Teotihuacan

have been found to line up

with the three belt stars
of Orion,

a connection that
is also mirrored in

the layout of the pyramids
at the Giza Plateau in Egypt.

And the positioning
of the main thoroughfare,

known as the Avenue of the Dead,

is directed toward
the Pleiades star cluster.

But perhaps the most
intriguing connection

was proposed in the 1970s

by American engineer
Hugh Harleston Jr.

HART:
In 1972, Hugh Harleston

undertook a study of the site.

And he was trying to determine

mathematically if
he could break down

or discover a standard unit
of measure at Teotihuacan.

The conclusion
that Harleston came up with

in all his measurements,

he found consistent numbers,

and he discovered
that they reflected

mathematical principles
that involved

units, intervals
and the spacing of the planets.

WILCOCK:
He found the actual derivation of the solar system

with the planets, their correct
distances from one another,

actually laid out

in the spacings of
the monuments at this complex.

NARRATOR:
Harleston noted that the intervals

between the major structures

corresponded exactly
to the distances

between the various planets.

WILCOCK:
There is a very clear rationale

for the positioning of
these artifacts,

and it's only once
you get into their measurements

that you start to see
compelling proof that

this is intended to be

an accurate map of
our solar system.

NARRATOR:
Even the distance of the asteroid belt

between Mars and Jupiter
was correctly plotted by

the diversion of the San Juan
River through the site.

CHILDRESS:
Harleston believed that a man-made canal

that was cut through Teotihuacan

represented the asteroid belt,

which was not something known
to ancient peoples.

Whoever built Teotihuacan,

they had full knowledge
of our solar system

and knowledge that
ancient people

could not have had.

NARRATOR:
Three and a half miles away,

on top of the Cerro Gordo
mountain range,

Harleston also located the ruins

of the Temple of Xochitl,

which fell directly in sightline
of the Avenue of the Dead.

CHILDRESS:
Harleston believed that this temple

was mathematically showing

that there was
a planet beyond Pluto,

twice as far as Pluto

that was somehow orbiting
around our solar system.

NARRATOR:
Curiously, in 2016,

planetary scientists from

the California Institute
of Technology

announced that they had found
preliminary evidence

of the existence of
an unknown planet beyond Pluto.

Would such a revelation
give further credence to

the idea that
the inhabitants of Teotihuacan

had intimate knowledge
of our solar system

and that the site served
as an ancient spaceport?

One that might
still be active today?

A tourist visiting the ancient
pyramid complex of Teotihuacan

takes a photograph featuring
the Pyramid of the Sun.

He thinks nothing of it until
he later reviews the photo

and notices two strange objects
hovering over the pyramid.

Upon closer examination

they appear to be
silver disc-shaped craft.

What's strange about
the two UFOs

photographed above
the Pyramid of the Sun

at Teotihuacan is
that only ten seconds later,

a second photograph was taken,

and those two objects were gone.

So clearly, we are not
talking about

mylar balloons here.

There is nothing floating
in the sky anymore.

And if they would
have been mylar balloons,

well, they don't move
that fast to just...

(exhales sharply)
...disappear.

There has been a long history

of UFO sightings
and unusual events

in Teotihuacan,

particularly around
the pyramids,

which perhaps are
somehow attracting UFOs

and extraterrestrials.

And you would think

that this is some kind of
energy device.

The pyramids around the world

could be projecting energy,

and that power
could be used by airships,

by other devices.

NARRATOR:
Could the pyramids found around the globe

be, in some way, interconnected,

serving as components
of a worldwide energy grid?

If so, might the truth

about who oversaw
their construction,

and for what purpose,

expose a connection to an
advanced extraterrestrial race

that predates mankind's

earliest known civilizations?

Perhaps as we continue to
uncover secrets

concealed within
these structures,

we will find the key to

activating this global
power network

and reconnecting to
our alien ancestors.
