Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:04,260 --> 00:00:06,160 A lost city. 2 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:08,600 Hidden in the Andes. 3 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,860 Mysterious metal spheres of extraterrestrial origin. 4 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,980 And a sunken city that was said to be the home of the Gods. 5 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:25,120 Over the years, ancient Aliens has investigated some of the most astonishing 6 00:00:25,121 --> 00:00:28,746 breakthroughs in archaeology, astronomy and physics 7 00:00:28,747 --> 00:00:32,860 that challenge traditional beliefs about human history. 8 00:00:33,420 --> 00:00:39,260 Now, we're counting down the 10 most extraordinary discoveries we've examined. 9 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:47,361 Discoveries that just might present undeniable proof of our extraterrestrial past. 10 00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:02,060 For ancient astronaut theorists like me, there is nothing more exciting than when a 11 00:01:02,061 --> 00:01:05,020 new discovery is made that points to evidence of 12 00:01:05,021 --> 00:01:08,480 extraterrestrial visitations in the distant past. 13 00:01:09,060 --> 00:01:15,120 And while it's not easy to narrow it down to just 10, our list covers discoveries in 14 00:01:15,121 --> 00:01:18,240 everything from science to archaeology to 15 00:01:18,241 --> 00:01:21,160 astronomy, like the first entry in our countdown. 16 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:26,140 It is a mysterious object that flew through our solar system. 17 00:01:26,860 --> 00:01:30,952 And what makes it truly extraordinary is that some scientists 18 00:01:30,953 --> 00:01:35,340 believe it might have been an extraterrestrial craft. 19 00:01:35,780 --> 00:01:42,840 At number 10 on our countdown of the top 10 extraordinary discoveries, Oumuamua. 20 00:01:45,540 --> 00:01:51,660 The Hawaiian island of Maui, October 19, 2017. 21 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:57,584 Astronomers at the Haleakala Observatory detect a mysterious 22 00:01:57,585 --> 00:02:01,120 object traveling at high speed through our solar system. 23 00:02:02,780 --> 00:02:07,584 The object has a strange oblong shape and is on a trajectory 24 00:02:07,585 --> 00:02:11,440 that is unlike anything that has ever been seen before. 25 00:02:13,020 --> 00:02:17,320 I was in charge of coordinating the observing to characterize the object. 26 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,728 There were four images taken that showed an 27 00:02:21,729 --> 00:02:25,941 object moving rapidly with respect to the stars. 28 00:02:27,020 --> 00:02:30,116 At that point, they started to compute an orbit 29 00:02:30,117 --> 00:02:33,301 to try and understand what this object was. 30 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,661 Once more data came in, it was very clear that 31 00:02:36,662 --> 00:02:39,621 this object was from outside the solar system. 32 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,660 This was really exciting. 33 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:48,420 By calculating the object's speed and trajectory, astronomers determined that it 34 00:02:48,421 --> 00:02:51,370 originated in another star system, making it 35 00:02:51,371 --> 00:02:54,340 the first interstellar object ever discovered. 36 00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:00,500 They named the object Oumuamua, meaning Voyager from the distant past, 37 00:03:00,820 --> 00:03:02,460 reaching out to us. 38 00:03:02,920 --> 00:03:06,273 And incredibly, some astronomers suggested it 39 00:03:06,274 --> 00:03:10,201 might be some type of extraterrestrial technology. 40 00:03:10,740 --> 00:03:13,960 Oumuamua doesn't look like a typical asteroid. 41 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:15,200 It's elongated. 42 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,360 It's not round or chunky like you would think an asteroid is. 43 00:03:18,780 --> 00:03:23,600 And there were a lot of astronomers and scientists who studied Oumuamua, 44 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:29,050 and it looks like it could possibly have been a probe 45 00:03:29,051 --> 00:03:32,840 from some other civilization outside our solar system. 46 00:03:34,100 --> 00:03:40,100 What I think is interesting is that Oumuamua is cigar-shaped, because there 47 00:03:40,101 --> 00:03:45,320 are stories and eyewitness reports of cigar-shaped UFOs. 48 00:03:46,300 --> 00:03:49,060 So is it possible that there is some type of a connection? 49 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:56,360 Is it possible that some asteroids are actually extraterrestrial spacecraft? 50 00:03:56,980 --> 00:04:03,340 While it might sound like science fiction, in 2023, a team of scientists launched an 51 00:04:03,341 --> 00:04:08,460 expedition to find fragments of a meteorite on the ocean floor, one that 52 00:04:08,461 --> 00:04:12,400 they believed contains evidence of Alien technology. 53 00:04:14,580 --> 00:04:18,860 At number nine on our countdown, the Belau Spheres. 54 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:29,440 The Bismarck Sea, June 2023, 100 miles north of Papua New Guinea. 55 00:04:30,260 --> 00:04:35,940 Harvard astrophysicist Dr. Avi Loeb and a team of scientists are attempting to 56 00:04:35,941 --> 00:04:38,972 retrieve the remnants of an exploded meteor from the 57 00:04:38,973 --> 00:04:43,080 bottom of the Pacific Ocean using a large magnetic sled. 58 00:04:44,300 --> 00:04:48,900 Two weeks into the project, the sled pulls up something unexpected. 59 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,517 Loeb did find a number of beads, little spherules, not 60 00:04:53,518 --> 00:04:56,780 much bigger than a BB, that they were able to dredge up. 61 00:04:57,380 --> 00:05:00,100 Upon first glance, they look kind of exotic. 62 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,700 They have little swirls in them. 63 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,200 They're almost perfectly round. 64 00:05:04,460 --> 00:05:09,520 For Dr. Loeb, the discovery of these mysterious spheres is particularly 65 00:05:09,521 --> 00:05:15,340 exciting because he believes that the exploded object they came from is unlike 66 00:05:15,341 --> 00:05:17,980 any other meteor that's ever landed on Earth. 67 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:24,820 He first learned about this meteor in 2019, and based on its speed and 68 00:05:24,821 --> 00:05:28,740 trajectory, he was able to surmise that it was interstellar. 69 00:05:29,860 --> 00:05:34,639 I came across a meteor catalogue that the government 70 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,901 compiled using its missile warning system. 71 00:05:38,820 --> 00:05:45,040 The meteor discovered in 2014 was actually from outside the solar system. 72 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:54,360 The meteor burned up 18.7 kilometers above the ocean surface, and it released a few 73 00:05:54,361 --> 00:05:58,840 percent of the energy of the Hiroshima bomb when it exploded. 74 00:06:00,460 --> 00:06:04,960 The government released the light curve of the fireball of the explosion, 75 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,490 and from that we infer that the object must have been made 76 00:06:09,491 --> 00:06:14,140 of some alloy that is much tougher than iron meteorites. 77 00:06:14,900 --> 00:06:19,060 And that raises the possibility that it may have been a spacecraft. 78 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,400 A spacecraft? 79 00:06:22,620 --> 00:06:25,210 Could it be that the object that exploded over the ocean 80 00:06:25,211 --> 00:06:28,980 north of Papua New Guinea was an extraterrestrial craft? 81 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,302 Dr. Loeb believes the small metallic spheres his 82 00:06:33,303 --> 00:06:36,400 team discovered could confirm his radical theory. 83 00:06:37,340 --> 00:06:41,180 Initial testing of the spherules showed that they had an unusually high 84 00:06:41,181 --> 00:06:44,745 concentration of beryllium, lanthanum, and uranium, 85 00:06:44,746 --> 00:06:49,020 making a never-before-seen compound known as bilao. 86 00:06:50,340 --> 00:06:55,460 That bilao composition does not exist in any known mineral or rock that we know of, 87 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,256 and so this does speak to his hypothesis 88 00:06:59,257 --> 00:07:02,400 that they're manufactured extraterrestrially. 89 00:07:03,700 --> 00:07:11,160 Dr. Avi Loeb proposes that these spherules may be part of some type of E.T. 90 00:07:11,340 --> 00:07:11,940 technology. 91 00:07:11,941 --> 00:07:19,680 Could that really be a remnant of a far, far distant extraterrestrial civilization? 92 00:07:23,580 --> 00:07:29,520 Dr. Avi Loeb's suggestion that the objects discovered in the Pacific Ocean may have 93 00:07:29,521 --> 00:07:34,240 come from an extraterrestrial spacecraft is a thrilling prospect. 94 00:07:34,580 --> 00:07:39,940 But there is another scientist who made a similar intriguing discovery, not in the 95 00:07:39,941 --> 00:07:47,201 ocean, but in Earth's upper atmosphere, and he's convinced that it is of Alien origin. 96 00:07:48,940 --> 00:07:53,320 Number eight on our countdown, the titanium microsphere. 97 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,740 The University of Sheffield, England, 2015. 98 00:08:01,580 --> 00:08:02,280 Andrew, on you. 99 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:03,560 Countdown, please. 100 00:08:03,980 --> 00:08:09,040 Astrobiologist Dr. Milton Wainwright and his research team released a hydrogen 101 00:08:09,041 --> 00:08:13,180 balloon that travels 25 miles up into Earth's stratosphere. 102 00:08:14,500 --> 00:08:18,317 Once the balloon reaches its target altitude, a capture 103 00:08:18,318 --> 00:08:22,220 mechanism collects samples of whatever material is around it. 104 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:28,920 Then the balloon bursts and the capture mechanism descends by parachute back to 105 00:08:28,921 --> 00:08:31,820 Earth so that its contents can be analyzed. 106 00:08:32,780 --> 00:08:37,080 One of these balloons was hit at an incredible 107 00:08:37,081 --> 00:08:41,880 rate by something that left behind a small crater. 108 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:51,061 And when they actually dug into this crater to see what it was, it was a tiny sphere. 109 00:08:51,700 --> 00:08:57,740 And when they actually examined what the sphere was made of, it was found to be of 110 00:08:57,741 --> 00:09:02,880 titanium and vanadium, and these are elements that 111 00:09:02,881 --> 00:09:07,140 shouldn't be there naturally out in the lower atmosphere. 112 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,695 The microscopic sphere is just 200 microns in 113 00:09:11,696 --> 00:09:15,461 diameter, roughly the thickness of a human hair. 114 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,377 There's no Earth material associated with them, and they're 115 00:09:20,378 --> 00:09:23,680 too large to be carried from Earth to these altitudes. 116 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,480 They must be incoming from space. 117 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:28,360 Where are they coming from? 118 00:09:28,460 --> 00:09:29,640 We just don't know. 119 00:09:30,540 --> 00:09:36,140 This tiny sphere, when they studied it under an electron microscope, saw that it 120 00:09:36,141 --> 00:09:42,317 was actually a shell that had now broken, and coming out of it 121 00:09:42,318 --> 00:09:47,040 was this strange ooze that they felt was biological in nature. 122 00:09:47,780 --> 00:09:53,840 A biological substance that originated not on Earth, but from somewhere in space? 123 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,139 Is it possible that this discovery is evidence of 124 00:09:58,140 --> 00:10:01,540 a living organism from a world other than our own? 125 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,100 The characteristics of these organisms is very interesting. 126 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,500 They're made of carbon and oxygen, so we know they're life forms. 127 00:10:11,060 --> 00:10:14,080 They don't contain silicon, so they're elements of cosmic dust. 128 00:10:14,380 --> 00:10:15,380 They're very unusual. 129 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,665 When I see the shapes of these things, I'm amazed 130 00:10:17,666 --> 00:10:19,866 because I've never seen anything like them on Earth. 131 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,580 There's no textbook version of the pictures we've been seeing. 132 00:10:24,860 --> 00:10:28,942 Although it is still unknown just where these spheres come from, 133 00:10:28,943 --> 00:10:33,920 Dr. Wainwright believes they are being used to introduce new life forms on Earth. 134 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:43,800 With Dr. Wainwright's small metal sphere, you have to wonder is this protein ooze 135 00:10:43,801 --> 00:10:48,360 that's inside it something to jumpstart life on the planet? 136 00:10:52,510 --> 00:10:56,190 Without a doubt, one of my favorite places to explore is Egypt. 137 00:10:56,890 --> 00:11:01,171 And what I find truly exciting is when technology reveals 138 00:11:01,172 --> 00:11:04,150 new secrets about its ancient monuments and temples. 139 00:11:04,830 --> 00:11:11,010 Like an extraordinary discovery that was made in 2017 when researchers located a 140 00:11:11,011 --> 00:11:14,338 hidden chamber inside the Great Pyramid that's 141 00:11:14,339 --> 00:11:17,811 big enough to fit the Statue of Liberty. 142 00:11:18,890 --> 00:11:24,170 At number seven on our countdown of the top ten extraordinary discoveries, 143 00:11:24,770 --> 00:11:25,890 the Great Pyramid Void. 144 00:11:29,090 --> 00:11:30,090 Egypt. 145 00:11:31,930 --> 00:11:34,813 Just west of Cairo stands the most mysterious 146 00:11:34,814 --> 00:11:37,851 and sophisticated wonder of the ancient world. 147 00:11:38,770 --> 00:11:39,770 The Great Pyramid. 148 00:11:41,490 --> 00:11:44,757 Built from more than two million limestone blocks, this 149 00:11:44,758 --> 00:11:47,830 massive structure is engineered to near perfection. 150 00:11:49,190 --> 00:11:52,040 Despite being studied for hundreds of years, much 151 00:11:52,041 --> 00:11:55,330 about the Great Pyramid remains shrouded in mystery. 152 00:11:57,110 --> 00:12:00,712 And in November 2017, media outlets around 153 00:12:00,713 --> 00:12:04,611 the world announced an incredible discovery. 154 00:12:05,050 --> 00:12:10,450 Archaeologists detected a chamber near the pyramid's north face that is approximately 155 00:12:10,451 --> 00:12:13,750 one hundred feet long and more than six feet tall. 156 00:12:15,190 --> 00:12:20,505 The discovery of that void is sensational because it opens 157 00:12:20,506 --> 00:12:26,810 up the whole discussion to more questions and to new answers. 158 00:12:28,170 --> 00:12:34,950 In April 2018, Giorgio Tsoukalos entered the Great Pyramid along with Egyptologist 159 00:12:34,951 --> 00:12:39,317 Ramy Romany and Dr. Giulio Magli, a professor of archaeoastronomy 160 00:12:39,318 --> 00:12:42,670 from the Polytechnic University in Milan, Italy. 161 00:12:45,860 --> 00:12:48,140 So this is it, the Grand Gallery. 162 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,169 They are inside the Grand Gallery, which is 163 00:12:53,170 --> 00:12:55,821 directly beneath the newly discovered void. 164 00:12:57,340 --> 00:13:01,220 From here to the ceiling is about ten meters high and it goes about fifty meters 165 00:13:01,221 --> 00:13:04,020 in, which is a hundred and fifty feet deep. 166 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,820 I mean, that just gives you an idea of how huge this place is. 167 00:13:08,860 --> 00:13:10,220 And it's perfect. 168 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,420 So you think the void is right on top of our heads here? 169 00:13:14,700 --> 00:13:16,240 I think it covers the Grand Gallery. 170 00:13:17,500 --> 00:13:23,180 In your opinion, what do you think is inside that void that was just discovered? 171 00:13:24,340 --> 00:13:25,880 Okay, there is one possibility. 172 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,360 The pyramid texts mention the destiny of the pharaoh. 173 00:13:29,820 --> 00:13:33,660 The pharaoh will sit on an iron throne among the stars. 174 00:13:34,860 --> 00:13:37,900 Can you elaborate on that iron throne? 175 00:13:38,740 --> 00:13:39,240 Yes, of course. 176 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,620 There was no melted iron in Egypt. 177 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,318 Melted iron in Egypt will come at the end of 178 00:13:44,319 --> 00:13:47,561 the Bronze Age, so about 1200 years later. 179 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,050 But they were using the small part of iron, which 180 00:13:51,051 --> 00:13:54,140 is coming on the Earth due to meteoritic phenomena. 181 00:13:56,460 --> 00:14:00,760 Precious objects of iron, meteoritic iron, were made for the pharaohs. 182 00:14:00,980 --> 00:14:03,100 And so maybe also this throne. 183 00:14:04,260 --> 00:14:08,480 A throne containing pieces of metal found in a meteorite? 184 00:14:09,620 --> 00:14:13,334 Could such an object really be embedded inside a secret 185 00:14:13,335 --> 00:14:16,320 chamber located within the Great Pyramid of Giza? 186 00:14:17,740 --> 00:14:23,200 According to ancient Egyptian writings called the Pyramid Texts, the God Osiris 187 00:14:23,201 --> 00:14:28,480 and his wife Isis came to Earth from stars in the constellation of Orion. 188 00:14:29,220 --> 00:14:33,160 And it is from these two Gods that all human life originates. 189 00:14:34,100 --> 00:14:39,620 According to the story, Osiris had an iron throne that possessed awesome powers. 190 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,020 Throughout ancient Egypt and the temples, we see depictions of the Gods, 191 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,420 extraterrestrial beings, on their thrones. 192 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,060 These thrones are feathered because they are ascension vehicles. 193 00:14:55,340 --> 00:14:58,880 They are vehicles that take them to the stars and back. 194 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,360 What could be inside that void? 195 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,660 There are many theories out there. 196 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,560 To this day, we don't know what's inside. 197 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,660 And that's the most exciting part for Egyptologists. 198 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,320 Every day I'm looking forward to find what's 199 00:15:18,321 --> 00:15:21,581 inside that new void that has been discovered. 200 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,920 Just what is inside the Great Pyramid's void remains to be seen. 201 00:15:29,540 --> 00:15:33,140 But if it's anything like the amazing discovery that's next on our list, 202 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,140 it may leave us with more questions than answers. 203 00:15:36,660 --> 00:15:41,800 I'm talking about the giant stone boxes that weigh nearly a hundred tons, 204 00:15:42,380 --> 00:15:44,560 whose purpose is still unknown. 205 00:15:45,740 --> 00:15:51,080 At number six on our countdown of the top ten extraordinary discoveries, 206 00:15:51,860 --> 00:15:53,440 the Serapeum of Saqqara. 207 00:15:56,510 --> 00:15:58,830 Saqqara, Egypt, 1850. 208 00:16:00,290 --> 00:16:05,990 Here, twenty miles south of the Giza pyramids, French archaeologist Auguste 209 00:16:05,991 --> 00:16:08,963 Mariette is surveying the area when he notices 210 00:16:08,964 --> 00:16:12,491 a stone object protruding from the ground. 211 00:16:13,310 --> 00:16:17,990 Upon closer inspection, it appears to be the head of a Sphinx. 212 00:16:20,030 --> 00:16:24,398 He started to clear the area, and so his team dug 213 00:16:24,399 --> 00:16:28,690 down and revealed Sphinx after Sphinx after Sphinx. 214 00:16:30,410 --> 00:16:37,070 He soon lines up over a hundred sphinxes, follows the pathway, and is led to an 215 00:16:37,071 --> 00:16:39,670 underground tunnel, an entrance that's blocked. 216 00:16:39,694 --> 00:16:41,694 He dynamites the entrance. 217 00:16:45,850 --> 00:16:48,702 He is now in a seven hundred foot long tunnel 218 00:16:48,703 --> 00:16:51,731 that's been carved out of the limestone. 219 00:16:52,970 --> 00:16:57,211 Inside the ancient structure, Mariette discovered inscriptions 220 00:16:57,212 --> 00:17:00,830 that identify the underground complex as the Serapeum. 221 00:17:03,150 --> 00:17:07,230 And within its chambers, he found gigantic stone boxes. 222 00:17:09,050 --> 00:17:15,453 Inside that Serapeum are twenty-four niches that contain some 223 00:17:15,454 --> 00:17:20,710 of the biggest stone sarcophagi ever discovered in Egypt. 224 00:17:21,870 --> 00:17:29,330 The boxes themselves range in weight from seventy to seventy-five tons, and the lids 225 00:17:29,331 --> 00:17:33,730 alone weigh between twenty and twenty-five tons. 226 00:17:34,850 --> 00:17:40,370 What compelled the ancient Egyptians to place twenty-four enormous and precisely 227 00:17:40,371 --> 00:17:43,170 crafted stone boxes deep beneath the Earth? 228 00:17:44,610 --> 00:17:49,730 Archaeologists suggest they were built to be the burial place of sacred Apis bulls. 229 00:17:51,430 --> 00:17:58,110 The Apis bull is related to the Egyptian God Pata, who was a major creator God. 230 00:17:58,570 --> 00:18:00,790 He was the God of Memphis, the capital city. 231 00:18:00,791 --> 00:18:03,170 He was the God of all craftsmen. 232 00:18:05,430 --> 00:18:11,850 The Apis bull was one of the most sacred animals in all of ancient Egypt. 233 00:18:12,990 --> 00:18:18,790 But when Auguste Mariette opened the sarcophagus, they were empty. 234 00:18:18,970 --> 00:18:20,230 There was nothing in there. 235 00:18:21,690 --> 00:18:26,750 The absence of the Apis bulls has led ancient astronaut theorists to suggest the 236 00:18:26,751 --> 00:18:32,050 boxes might have served a more profound purpose, as a type of an advanced, 237 00:18:32,310 --> 00:18:34,810 even extraterrestrial, technology. 238 00:18:36,210 --> 00:18:39,733 One of the ideas, too, of the sarcophagi is 239 00:18:39,734 --> 00:18:43,891 that they're super high-tech storage devices. 240 00:18:44,570 --> 00:18:47,606 You know, they're hermetically sealed, they're, you 241 00:18:47,607 --> 00:18:50,490 know, in spaces that would be difficult to get to. 242 00:18:52,310 --> 00:18:58,690 Perhaps something dangerous and technical was kept in these boxes. 243 00:19:03,930 --> 00:19:09,770 We're coming up on the halfway point in our countdown of the top ten extraordinary 244 00:19:09,771 --> 00:19:13,170 discoveries, and this next one truly blows my mind. 245 00:19:13,730 --> 00:19:18,244 In 2003, archaeologists began to excavate an ancient 246 00:19:18,245 --> 00:19:21,451 lost city, hidden deep in the jungles of Guatemala. 247 00:19:22,030 --> 00:19:26,650 In total, they found over a hundred thousand structures that remarkably 248 00:19:26,651 --> 00:19:30,270 revealed a profound connection to the stars. 249 00:19:32,510 --> 00:19:35,990 At number five, the lost city of El Mirador. 250 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:45,360 The El Mirador Basin, northern Guatemala, 2015. 251 00:19:47,180 --> 00:19:52,940 Archaeologist Dr. Richard Hansen begins an aerial survey of the dense jungle using a 252 00:19:52,941 --> 00:19:56,360 sophisticated remote sensing method called Lidar. 253 00:19:58,540 --> 00:20:04,100 The results reveal an extraordinary Metropolis that had been lost to history. 254 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:11,900 What's amazing is we've found what seems to be an entire civilization that the 255 00:20:11,901 --> 00:20:15,320 Mayans had built a long time ago we never knew were there. 256 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,460 There are pyramids there that rival the pyramids in Egypt. 257 00:20:20,100 --> 00:20:25,980 Now, archaeologists realize that this area was at one time densely populated. 258 00:20:26,940 --> 00:20:31,280 There were hundreds of thousands if not even millions of people living there. 259 00:20:32,100 --> 00:20:35,420 And they built huge pyramid cities. 260 00:20:36,740 --> 00:20:40,347 At the center of the ancient Metropolis are two 261 00:20:40,348 --> 00:20:44,220 gigantic pyramids now known as El Tigre and La Danta. 262 00:20:45,780 --> 00:20:48,453 La Danta, the bigger of the two, is larger in 263 00:20:48,454 --> 00:20:51,820 volume than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. 264 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,480 The Danta is not just a pyramid, it's a pyramid with pyramids on top of it. 265 00:20:57,780 --> 00:21:01,130 This is a massive structure that's rivaling or even 266 00:21:01,131 --> 00:21:05,080 bigger than any other known Maya temple complex. 267 00:21:06,780 --> 00:21:09,688 For ancient astronaut theorists, perhaps the 268 00:21:09,689 --> 00:21:12,720 greatest discovery is in the layout of the site. 269 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:21,360 Some archaeologists have suggested that El Mirador is aligned with the Pleiades and 270 00:21:21,361 --> 00:21:27,020 that pyramids and other structures there are actually recreating the Pleiades star 271 00:21:27,021 --> 00:21:30,600 system on the grounds in the El Mirador base. 272 00:21:32,180 --> 00:21:38,380 The Maya themselves associate the celestial beings that had contact with 273 00:21:38,381 --> 00:21:42,040 their own ancestors with the Pleiades constellation. 274 00:21:43,260 --> 00:21:50,360 What we have discovered right there is a lost chapter of history human history that 275 00:21:50,361 --> 00:21:53,840 could be a direct connection to the ancient astronaut theory. 276 00:21:55,060 --> 00:22:01,260 Our next extraordinary discovery was made in a remote area of Peru and this one 277 00:22:01,261 --> 00:22:05,944 really took archaeologists by surprise because here they found 278 00:22:05,945 --> 00:22:10,800 a massive complex that is older than the pyramids of Egypt. 279 00:22:13,100 --> 00:22:16,040 At number four on our countdown, Caral. 280 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:21,360 Peru, 1994. 281 00:22:22,820 --> 00:22:27,080 While conducting research at the base of the Andes Mountains, Peruvian 282 00:22:27,081 --> 00:22:31,399 archaeologist Dr. Ruth Shady Solis notices several hills in 283 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,100 the landscape that do not appear to have been formed naturally. 284 00:22:36,660 --> 00:22:38,285 People had known it was there but most people 285 00:22:38,286 --> 00:22:40,861 had assumed that these great mounds were natural. 286 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:47,000 But Ruth Shady decided to excavate and turned out she'd actually hit the jackpot 287 00:22:47,001 --> 00:22:50,040 because she'd found one of the most important sites in South America. 288 00:22:51,220 --> 00:22:54,748 Dr. Shady and her team discovered the ruins of an 289 00:22:54,749 --> 00:22:59,840 extraordinary lost city that has come to be known as Keral. 290 00:23:00,940 --> 00:23:05,140 When you visit Keral you find a huge archaeological complex. 291 00:23:05,860 --> 00:23:11,600 There's a large sunken amphitheater to the south, there's a major pyramid to the 292 00:23:11,601 --> 00:23:17,820 north, and then there are more minor pyramids that surround central areas. 293 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:23,120 There are also other buildings, residential buildings, so it's a really huge complex. 294 00:23:23,900 --> 00:23:27,840 But the most extraordinary discovery was still to come. 295 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:35,020 Towards the bottom of the great mound they found remains of what seemed to be Reed 296 00:23:35,021 --> 00:23:37,691 bags or baskets in which the Earth and stones would 297 00:23:37,692 --> 00:23:40,160 have been carried to make this enormous mound. 298 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,600 And of course you can date reeds by the radiocarbon method and to everyone's 299 00:23:45,601 --> 00:23:48,640 surprise the answer came far earlier than anybody had expected. 300 00:23:50,260 --> 00:23:56,060 This site went back at least to 2600 BC or earlier. 301 00:23:57,420 --> 00:24:03,680 So that was putting it back 4,600 or more years which made it one of the oldest 302 00:24:03,681 --> 00:24:08,040 sites as far as civilization in the Americas. 303 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:13,180 Keral could be the mother culture of the whole of South America. 304 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,459 The dating of Keral has really put into question 305 00:24:17,460 --> 00:24:20,441 the origins of civilization on the planet. 306 00:24:20,940 --> 00:24:24,420 At the time the greater pyramid of Keral was created. 307 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,917 Ziggurats were being built in Mesopotamia 308 00:24:27,918 --> 00:24:31,621 and the steppe pyramids were rising in Egypt. 309 00:24:32,300 --> 00:24:35,100 This was the beginning of a world wide Pyramid Age. 310 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,900 You have pyramids all over the world start to spring 311 00:24:38,901 --> 00:24:41,240 up and you have to wonder how did this happen? 312 00:24:41,460 --> 00:24:44,476 Did they all have the same teacher that was assisting them 313 00:24:44,477 --> 00:24:47,061 or instructing them on how to build these massive structures. 314 00:24:54,100 --> 00:24:58,801 Scientific breakthroughs and archaeological finds are always compelling. 315 00:24:59,060 --> 00:25:04,180 But for Ancient Astronaut Theorists like me, what's really exciting is when a story 316 00:25:04,181 --> 00:25:09,520 once thought to be fiction is proven to be based on historical fact. 317 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,877 Like the discovery of a sunken city that according 318 00:25:13,878 --> 00:25:17,400 to ancient Hindu texts was the home of the Gods. 319 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:26,300 Number three on our countdown of the top ten extraordinary discoveries, Dwarka. 320 00:25:29,360 --> 00:25:34,120 Northwest India, April 1983. 321 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,560 Marine archaeologist Dr. S.R. 322 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,740 Rao begins a seven year underwater exploration 323 00:25:40,741 --> 00:25:44,140 just off the coast of the modern city of Dwarka. 324 00:25:45,700 --> 00:25:47,660 And what he discovers is stunning. 325 00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:54,320 Submerged twenty feet beneath the surface of the ocean, he finds sandstone walls, 326 00:25:55,560 --> 00:26:00,940 cobblestone streets, and further evidence of a prosperous ancient city. 327 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:08,880 At Dwarka what has been found so far under the ocean is incredibly tantalizing. 328 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,247 For instance there is this huge wall estimated 329 00:26:12,248 --> 00:26:14,980 about five hundred and eighty meters long. 330 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,260 Pottery has been found. 331 00:26:19,580 --> 00:26:23,920 Stone anchors have been found so this seems to be a maritime city. 332 00:26:25,420 --> 00:26:30,680 The remains that have been discovered beneath the waters have been radiocarbon 333 00:26:30,681 --> 00:26:35,500 dated to at least nine thousand five hundred years. 334 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:44,380 So this was many thousands of years older than that of Sumeria, Egypt, and China. 335 00:26:45,620 --> 00:26:49,940 So what exactly was going on in India at this time? 336 00:26:51,300 --> 00:26:56,020 Are these ruins evidence of a city that is over nine thousand years old? 337 00:26:56,740 --> 00:26:58,980 And if so, who built it? 338 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:01,140 Dr. S.R. 339 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,540 Rao and other researchers believe that the ruins belonged 340 00:27:04,541 --> 00:27:08,800 to a legendary ancient city that was also called Dwarka. 341 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,543 According to the sacred Hindu text, the Mahabharata, 342 00:27:13,544 --> 00:27:17,160 ancient Dwarka was once the home of the God, Lord Krishna. 343 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:25,760 In the Mahabharata, Dwarka is described as Krishna's kingdom. 344 00:27:26,220 --> 00:27:30,476 There are magnificent palaces all having wonderful 345 00:27:30,477 --> 00:27:34,100 windows, wonderful balconies in high rise buildings. 346 00:27:35,260 --> 00:27:42,501 So it is beautifully described in the Mahabharata as being a very important city. 347 00:27:43,420 --> 00:27:49,440 The Mahabharata tells that the land came up out of the sea, the ocean released this 348 00:27:49,441 --> 00:27:54,240 land, was a special place of great magic and beauty. 349 00:27:55,560 --> 00:28:00,320 According to the story, Dwarka was destroyed after another Hindu God, 350 00:28:00,700 --> 00:28:03,740 Lord Salva, attacked it from a flying chariot. 351 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:10,940 He had a celestial chariot, which is almost like a plane that he could fly. 352 00:28:11,500 --> 00:28:15,660 And this plane was like a stealth fighter plane. 353 00:28:16,820 --> 00:28:20,740 So he came to Dwarka and then he started bombarding the city. 354 00:28:22,140 --> 00:28:23,380 Krishna is killed. 355 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,940 And the city, this magnificent city built on land that came out of the sea, 356 00:28:29,500 --> 00:28:32,340 sank back into the ocean again. 357 00:28:33,700 --> 00:28:37,580 It only existed during the time that Krishna lived there. 358 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:45,760 For centuries, the story of ancient Dwarka was believed to be merely a legend. 359 00:28:47,540 --> 00:28:51,417 But is it possible that these underwater ruins are evidence 360 00:28:51,418 --> 00:28:55,660 that the ancient Hindu texts are based in actual history? 361 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,027 If so, it wouldn't be the first time that a 362 00:29:00,028 --> 00:29:03,721 supposedly mythological site was found to be real. 363 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:12,440 In the 1870s, archaeologists discovered the ruins of Troy, a legendary city from 364 00:29:12,441 --> 00:29:16,040 Greek mythology that was assumed to be completely fictitious. 365 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,090 For hundreds of years, people thought that the story 366 00:29:20,091 --> 00:29:24,000 of the Trojan War, the Trojan Horse, is all myth. 367 00:29:25,660 --> 00:29:30,780 But then, archaeologists found the ruins of Troy. 368 00:29:31,340 --> 00:29:37,080 And we know there was the Trojan War, just like the way the ancients called it. 369 00:29:38,140 --> 00:29:40,100 Now we know that Troy did exist. 370 00:29:40,820 --> 00:29:47,000 And similarly, Dwarka in the Mahabharata, it was not just a mythical city. 371 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,820 Once upon a time, it really did exist. 372 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:57,360 But if the underwater ruins of Dwarka really are the place described in the 373 00:29:57,361 --> 00:30:01,640 Mahabharata, might the story of its demise also be true? 374 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:08,300 Was it destroyed in an aerial assault waged by an otherworldly visitor? 375 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:16,640 This would indicate to us that the legends are really correct about this place, 376 00:30:17,260 --> 00:30:22,840 that this was a real event, one that perhaps included extraterrestrials. 377 00:30:28,060 --> 00:30:31,450 Every so often, a discovery is made that sounds like it's 378 00:30:31,451 --> 00:30:35,120 been ripped straight from the pages of a fantasy novel. 379 00:30:35,540 --> 00:30:40,560 And that's exactly what happened when a family renovating their home in central 380 00:30:40,561 --> 00:30:45,240 Turkey stumbled upon the entrance to an entirely hidden world. 381 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:52,060 At number two on our countdown of the top ten extraordinary discoveries, 382 00:30:52,780 --> 00:30:54,880 the underground cities of Turkey. 383 00:30:57,260 --> 00:30:59,580 Nevsehir Province, Turkey. 384 00:31:01,460 --> 00:31:06,406 Here, in 1963, a simple home renovation in the town 385 00:31:06,407 --> 00:31:09,520 of Derinkuyu led to an extraordinary discovery. 386 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:17,901 A cave wall was opened, revealing a passageway to an elaborate underground city. 387 00:31:19,060 --> 00:31:26,620 Derinkuyu is this massive underground tunnel system going down three levels, 388 00:31:26,621 --> 00:31:32,052 with many streets, with many shafts and corridors and 389 00:31:32,053 --> 00:31:37,120 rooms and caverns that can hold massive amounts of people. 390 00:31:39,340 --> 00:31:42,967 Archaeologists were astounded by this massive underground 391 00:31:42,968 --> 00:31:47,080 city that extends as much as 280 feet beneath the Earth. 392 00:31:47,081 --> 00:31:54,500 And they got an even bigger surprise more than 50 years later, in 2014, when another 393 00:31:54,501 --> 00:32:00,421 even larger underground city was discovered beneath the nearby town of Nevsehir. 394 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,880 It is absolutely stupendous. 395 00:32:03,940 --> 00:32:06,440 It covers about 5 million square feet. 396 00:32:06,860 --> 00:32:11,160 It goes down over 370 feet into the ground. 397 00:32:11,380 --> 00:32:17,100 And it's estimated that this could have held 20,000 people or more. 398 00:32:18,300 --> 00:32:25,300 Archaeologists got inside and there were churches, there were vessels and jars, 399 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,721 there were wineries, there was living quarters, 400 00:32:30,722 --> 00:32:34,240 there were places where they made linseed oil. 401 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:40,861 Further exploration revealed that the two underground cities were actually connected. 402 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:46,185 I was many times in the underground cities in 403 00:32:46,186 --> 00:32:50,201 Turkey, and this is a fantastic experience. 404 00:32:51,300 --> 00:32:52,380 These are linked together. 405 00:32:53,340 --> 00:32:58,560 There are 7 kilometers long underground tunnels connecting the two cities. 406 00:33:01,020 --> 00:33:03,611 According to many archaeologists, these cities 407 00:33:03,612 --> 00:33:07,140 were most likely constructed around 800 B.C. 408 00:33:07,420 --> 00:33:10,380 to provide shelter from an invading army. 409 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,540 But some researchers suggest they could be much older. 410 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:23,860 One Turkish archaeologist by the name of Omar Demir, who was actually the creator 411 00:33:23,861 --> 00:33:32,100 of the Dankeu, found evidence of Stone Age talks going back to the Paleolithic era. 412 00:33:33,060 --> 00:33:35,480 This is at the time of the last Ice Age. 413 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:44,821 This tells us that these underground cities are perhaps 11, 12, 13,000 years old. 414 00:33:45,580 --> 00:33:51,260 If the underground cities of Turkey really are as much as 13,000 years old, 415 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,220 just who could have built them? 416 00:33:53,500 --> 00:33:54,900 And why? 417 00:33:55,050 --> 00:33:59,550 Ancient Astronaut Theorists suggest that these sprawling underground cities 418 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:04,600 may be shelters that are described in the sacred writings of 419 00:34:04,610 --> 00:34:08,610 Zoroastrianism, one of the world's oldest religions. 420 00:34:10,380 --> 00:34:15,740 In a text called the Vendhi Dad, a young ruler named Yima is instructed to 421 00:34:15,741 --> 00:34:19,640 build an underground sanctuary by the God Ahura Mazda. 422 00:34:20,460 --> 00:34:25,500 Ahura Mazda told the great early king Yima that there would be a terrible disaster. 423 00:34:26,020 --> 00:34:30,180 A winter would come such as has never been known. 424 00:34:30,340 --> 00:34:35,880 It would be so cold that at midday it would be dark like night. 425 00:34:37,240 --> 00:34:40,860 Ahura Mazda instructs Yima to build a vara. 426 00:34:41,100 --> 00:34:47,540 This is a huge structure, two miles long, two miles wide, an underground hall of 427 00:34:47,541 --> 00:34:51,260 sorts where things can be protected from the terrible winter. 428 00:34:52,300 --> 00:34:58,320 In the vara, Yima was to hide a remnant of the people and then extensive seed bank, 429 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,620 also a pair of each of the animal species. 430 00:35:02,900 --> 00:35:06,960 Ahura Mazda was known to have descended from the sky. 431 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:13,580 In a vehicle with fixed wings, it looks like some type of flying device. 432 00:35:14,100 --> 00:35:19,100 That would suggest that he was in fact an extraterrestrial. 433 00:35:20,420 --> 00:35:26,370 As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, the story of Yima is an account 434 00:35:26,371 --> 00:35:29,370 of an Alien intervention in the distant past. 435 00:35:30,990 --> 00:35:36,590 And they suggest it is very possible that the shelters Yima was said to have built 436 00:35:36,591 --> 00:35:41,170 are, in fact, the underground cities that have been found in Turkey. 437 00:35:42,870 --> 00:35:49,670 The vara is supposed to be a huge enclosure that not only houses a large 438 00:35:49,671 --> 00:35:54,730 number of people, but it's to have big streets that go through it. 439 00:35:54,870 --> 00:35:57,030 It's divided into certain areas. 440 00:35:58,490 --> 00:36:02,730 The vara could be the underground cities in Turkey. 441 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:12,180 We've reached the top spot on our countdown, and this next extraordinary 442 00:36:12,181 --> 00:36:17,280 discovery completely upended our understanding of human civilization. 443 00:36:17,780 --> 00:36:23,800 It's an astonishing Megalithic complex of massive stone pillars and mysterious 444 00:36:23,801 --> 00:36:27,113 carvings that predates the world's earliest 445 00:36:27,114 --> 00:36:31,020 known civilization by more than 5,000 years. 446 00:36:33,180 --> 00:36:35,660 At number one, Göbekli Tepe. 447 00:36:40,420 --> 00:36:43,960 Sanliurfa, Turkey, October 1994. 448 00:36:45,420 --> 00:36:48,216 While plowing his field, a shepherd spots a 449 00:36:48,217 --> 00:36:51,861 strangely shaped stone protruding from the ground. 450 00:36:52,740 --> 00:36:57,840 After brushing away the dirt, he realizes the stone may be part of an ancient ruin. 451 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:03,066 He reports his find to the local museum, and is visited 452 00:37:03,067 --> 00:37:06,640 by Klaus Schmidt from the German Archaeological Institute. 453 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:13,520 It wasn't until German archaeologist Klaus Schmidt visited the site and began digging 454 00:37:13,521 --> 00:37:16,960 that they realized what was really at the site. 455 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,480 What he discovered was mind-blowing. 456 00:37:22,020 --> 00:37:25,306 After discovering the first T-shaped pillar buried at 457 00:37:25,307 --> 00:37:28,620 the site, he soon found more of these massive structures. 458 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:34,360 The site becomes known as Göbekli Tepe, meaning Potbelly Hill. 459 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:42,040 The site of Göbekli Tepe is a series of circular enclosures, but then in the 460 00:37:42,041 --> 00:37:45,090 center of each enclosure you have two particularly big 461 00:37:45,091 --> 00:37:48,480 T-shaped pillars of limestone sort of facing each other. 462 00:37:49,220 --> 00:37:53,940 Many of these pillars have remarkable carvings on them, wonderful carvings and 463 00:37:53,941 --> 00:37:57,480 bas -reliefs of animals, birds, insects, all kinds of things. 464 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,147 So to fashion those and carve them and set them up 465 00:38:01,148 --> 00:38:04,020 in these structures was just absolutely amazing. 466 00:38:05,020 --> 00:38:09,540 Many of these were carved into human form. 467 00:38:09,820 --> 00:38:14,060 They would have arms on the side of them, they would have hands that come round to 468 00:38:14,061 --> 00:38:18,720 the front, they would have garments that drop down the front. 469 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:26,440 Twenty different enclosures were built and each one seemingly at the end of its 470 00:38:26,441 --> 00:38:33,900 useful life was completely covered over with rubble and soil before the next. 471 00:38:34,020 --> 00:38:36,000 Enclosure was built. 472 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,286 Intrigued by his discovery, Klaus Schmidt had the 473 00:38:42,287 --> 00:38:45,240 sediment layers of the site radiocarbon dated. 474 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,040 The results were astonishing. 475 00:38:49,420 --> 00:38:54,681 It is the first archaeological site in the world that proves 476 00:38:54,682 --> 00:39:01,940 its age dating as far back as 12,000 years, around 10,000 BC. 477 00:39:02,070 --> 00:39:09,850 The discovery and the official acceptance of Göbekli Tepe's dating has changed the 478 00:39:10,060 --> 00:39:12,000 history of archaeology. 479 00:39:13,180 --> 00:39:20,660 All of this suggests a understanding of technology, of masonry, of art, 480 00:39:21,100 --> 00:39:23,800 of carving at the end of the last ice age. 481 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:30,160 We realize that there is some great culture and possibly even a high 482 00:39:30,161 --> 00:39:35,340 civilization that existed here as much as 11,000 years ago. 483 00:39:37,060 --> 00:39:40,780 Archaeologists believe the Sumerians were the world's first civilization, 484 00:39:41,460 --> 00:39:43,820 emerging around 5,000 BC. 485 00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:49,460 But the discovery of Göbekli Tepe put that into serious question. 486 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,205 And some researchers have noticed a curious 487 00:39:53,206 --> 00:39:56,720 connection between the Sumerians and Göbekli Tepe. 488 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,244 At Göbekli Tepe, there's a carving of these three 489 00:40:01,245 --> 00:40:04,040 handbags that appear above this bird-like creature. 490 00:40:04,660 --> 00:40:08,380 And what's fascinating about this is that you can find carvings of similar handbags 491 00:40:08,381 --> 00:40:11,720 about 400 miles to the south where the ancient Sumerians lived. 492 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:16,180 And there, the handbags are held by these winged figures called Anunnaki. 493 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:21,760 The Anunnaki, as told in the Sumerian stories, had these advanced powers, 494 00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:26,640 they had connection with abbans, they're extraterrestrial beings, 495 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:31,476 and it makes you wonder if Göbekli Tepe was in 496 00:40:31,477 --> 00:40:35,161 fact a place of connection with these beings. 497 00:40:37,500 --> 00:40:41,946 It's exciting to think that Göbekli Tepe might hold clues 498 00:40:41,947 --> 00:40:47,140 to extraterrestrial contact that occurred 12,000 years ago. 499 00:40:47,980 --> 00:40:52,940 And as far as I'm concerned, with every extraordinary discovery, from lost 500 00:40:52,941 --> 00:40:58,760 civilizations hidden from sight, to ancient structures and artwork that 501 00:40:58,761 --> 00:41:05,280 suggests contact with otherworldly beings, to objects from space that defy 502 00:41:05,281 --> 00:41:10,304 explanation, we get one step closer to understanding 503 00:41:10,305 --> 00:41:13,660 the truth about humankind's extraterrestrial past. 48752
