All language subtitles for Ancient Aliens S03E06 Aliens And Ancient Engineers

NARRATOR: Lasers with the power
to cut through solid stone,

acoustic chambers that might able
interplanetary communication,

and architecture designed
to harness cosmic energy.

Are these dramatic examples of
our own modern day technology?

Or are they examples of astounding
achievements used in the ancient past?

The only way that these huge cubes of
stone were removed from the mountain

is by some kind of laser-like
instrument able to liquify rock.

These temples were used to
communicate with the gods

and resonate with cosmic energies.

BILL BIRNES: People see this as
an example of help given to

an earthly civilization by---

ancient aliens.

NARRATOR: Millions of people
around the world believe we have

been visited in the past by
extraterrestrial beings.

What if it were true?

Did ancient aliens really help
to shape our history?

And could the proof be found by
examining the construction

methods of our planet's
ancient engineers?

Peru, South America.

The Andes Mountains.

9,000 feet above sea level, in
an area the Inca people once

called the Sacred Valley, lie

the ruins of the ancient city
of Ollantaytambo.

Once serving as both a temple
and a fortress, mainstream

historians claim Ollantaytambo
was built around 1440 AD by the

Inca Emperor Pachacuti.

But some scholars believe
Ollantaytambo was built upon the

ruins of a far older city--

one whose origins
remain unknown.

FOERSTER: The gate behind me is
called the Gateway of the Gods,

and it was build several thousand years
before the Inca arrived here.

It was built by a culture we
call the Urin Pacha.

We give them that name because
we have no idea who they were,

where they came from or
where they went.

It is clearly evident that the
earliest parts of Ollantaytambo

dates to at least 12,000
years old, if not older.

JESUS GAMARRA: From the research,
I have been able to determine

this was built by
the Arak civilization.

The Arak people are as ancient

as what would be the equivalent
to Adam or the first humans.

NARRATOR: But how could the earliest
humans on earth have

produced such astonishing stonework

with massive interlocking
blocks precisely fitted together?

Or have constructed aqueducts

and irrigation systems that
still function today?

Or have moved and set colossal stones of
granite, each weighing more than 50 tons?

ANDREW COLLINS: Ollantaytambo
is a mountain fortress.

It's renowned specifically for the
incredible size blocks

that were used in its construction.

Most particularly those that are found
on its highest level, the highest point

on this mountain.

There are six of these
positioned in a line,

and they were transported from another
mountain where, the source says,

across a plain, across a river
and then up the mountain.

And, of course, the biggest mystery is,
how the hell were they

not only able to cut these things
but to move them up this mountain?

STEPHEN VANDER HART: In modern day,
if we were gonna move a 50 ton bolder

we would have to assemble a
special transportation unit,

consisting of steel girders,
several axles, hydraulic jacks

Moving it up the hill, we'd probably
have to change the face of the hill---

build a road, maybe anchor it,

using some kind of cable-and-pulley
system-- several different options,

none of which would be available to
the people who lived way back then.

FOERSTER: These six giant slabs of
red granite have stood here

for thousands of years because of
the beautiful engineering of the ancients.

If there's a major earthquake, these
shims can ride up and down,

absorbing the shock of the earthquake,
and that keeps the giant slabs in place.

The ability to fit perfectly- fitting
stones of several tons in weight together

so that a single human hair can't fit in
between them is not a question

of sweat or man-hours,
it's a question of technology.

Main stream archaeologists
claim the dense, hard granite

was cut and shaped by means
of stone or bronze tools.

But evidence of such tools has
never been found at the site.

And stranger still is the means
by which the mammoth rocks are

bonded into place, as if fused together
by an unknown form of energy.

JASON MARTELL: It's almost as if
two stones are leaned together

and infused them with some type
of high radiation beam or a laser

that then would fuse the rocks together.
Then they could stack a third rock and

another fused area.

There is no explanation for how
they had the ability to create

such a high heat source and fuse these
rocks in such an intricate fashion.

NARRATOR: Further evidence of
the mysterious methods used by

ancient craftsmen can
be found nearby---

at the Temple of the Condor.

Here, enormous slabs of andesite
stone were quarried from what is

known as "The Wall of Living Rock."

FOERSTER: The Temple of the Condor
is curious because we find

huge cube-like sections of stone--
andesite, which is very hard--

have been removed from the
mountain with such accuracy

that we can't find a scratch
in the surface.

The corners also are not sharp.
They're perfectly rounded,

and no one can explain how this
could have been achieved.

GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: The rock surface
looks rough but when you touch it

it feels as smooth as a bathroom mirror.

which means some type of
vitrification process was used.

And at the bottom of where this
alcove was cut out, we can see a

crisscross pattern.

And in my opinion, they
are actually saw marks.

To me, this pattern is irrefutable
proof for ancient machining.

ERICH VON DANIKEN:
Prehistoric tools would never work.

You see, Ollantaytambo is mostly
made out of andesite.

To cut andesite, you need something
which is harder than andesite.

You could use a diamond, but
there was no tool in Stone Age time

to cut these rocks, so it must have
been extraterrestrial tool.

NARRATOR: Might the ancient
engineers of Ollantaytambo

really have used tools acquired
from otherworldly sources,

as ancient astronaut theorists contend?

Perhaps clues can be found by
examining the earliest creation

myths of the Andes Mountains.

In them, the ancient ancestors,
or founders, were described as

a brother and sister-- referred
to as "Children of the Sun."

Sent by the "Sun God," these
mysterious beings arrived on

Earth with something described
as a golden wedge.

DAVID CHILDRESS: Was this golden wedge
some sort of hand-held device that could

cut stone, and even possibly levitate
the giant blocks into place?

If the golden wedge used by the
Children of the Sun was really

some kind of high-tech device for
cutting stone or levitating stone,

it would probably have been
given to them by extraterrestrials.

TSOUKALOS: The fact that
Ollantaytambo specifically has

this story about this golden wedge
leads me to think that

some type of extraterrestrial
activity took place there

thousands and thousands of years ago.

And that some type of sophisticated
extraterrestrial technology was used

in order to achieve some of those amazing
feats of engineering that we can

see at Ollantaytambo today.

BIRNES: What you can't explain is
the moving of 50-ton stones up

the sheer face of a cliff to create
the walls of the fortress.

That, in and of itself, required
more than cranes, more than lifts,

more than scaffolds.
It required something like an

anti-gravitational device, or a tractor
beam to lift that much stone that high.

That's why people see this as
an example of help given

to an earthly civilization
by ancient aliens.

Do the incredible accomplishments of
the early people of the Andes Mountains

really provide proof that early man was
in contact with otherworldly beings?

If so, wouldn't there be even
more incredible evidence?

There are those who believe such
evidence does exist,

hidden within the ruins of a
Mesoamerican metropolis.

Central Mexico, 35 miles
northeast of Mexico City.

Here in a highlands plateau,

lies the enormous archeological site
of the ancient city of Teotihuacan.

Established around 100 B.C.,
and lasting until its fall between

the seventh and eighth centuries,
Teotihuacan was one

of the largest cities in the
ancient world, with over 150,000

inhabitants at its peak.

DAVID CHEETHAM, PH.D: When you enter
the city, you are immediately struck by

sort of that modern layout of a city.
You have a Street of the Dead

that goes for miles, along which
you have all of the major

ceremonial architecture,

including some of the largest buildings
ever erected in the New World.

NARRATOR: According to scholars,
the advanced design of

Teotihuacan suggests that
ancient builders had knowledge,

not only of architecture, but
of complex mathematical and

astronomical sciences.

From the air, the city's layout
strangely resembles a computer

circuit board with two large

processor chips-- the Sun Pyramid
and the Moon Pyramid.

Researchers have also found
numerous and remarkable

similarities to the Great
Pyramids of Egypt.

PHILIP COPPENS: When we look at these
buildings, we find the same mathematics

incorporated into them than what
we find in the Great Pyramids

and the surrounding pyramids
of the Giza Plateau.

ARLAN ANDREWS: The Great
Pyramid of Khufu at Giza

and the Sun Pyramid at Teotihuacan
apparently have about the same base,

almost 750 feet square.

TSOUKALOS: The base perimeter
of the Pyramid of the Sun is

four Pi times its height.

In Giza, it's two pi times its height.

Essentially, the Pyramid of the Sun
is exactly half as tall

as the Pyramid of Giza.

COPPENS: Teotihuacan is created
according to a specific layout.

The Temple of the Sun,

the Temple of the Moon,

and the Temple of Quetzalcoatl

are in the same layout as Orion's Belt,

which is basically the formation, which
the three pyramids of the Giza Plateau

have been laid out into, as well.

NARRATOR: Might the design
and layout of Teotihuacan

be comparable to that of Giza
because of similar influence

by extraterrestrial visitors, as
ancient astronaut theorists believe?

CHILDRESS: When you have similar
pyramid complexes,

like the ones at Teotihuacan,
and the ones at Giza

you have to kind of think that the
same builders, the same designers

are behind these giant complexes.

NARRATOR: But perhaps the most
intriguing aspect of Teotihuacan

is the finding by archeologists,
of the extensive use of mica

embedded in numerous structures.

A mineral only found 3,000
miles away, in Brazil

JOEL PALKA: It is found in all buildings,
housing complexes, temples and,

along the roads, it
is found everywhere.

COLLINS: These mica sheets were
probably transported

from thousands of miles away, from
Brazil. That's the nearest source.

Now, what would you wanna do that?

Obviously they were not there for
decoration, because you couldn't see them

Mica has some electrical properties that
make it very good for being an isolator

It resists the transformation of
electricity, it's also very good at being

able to be stable at high
temperatures so that it can be

used in furnace windows
and oven windows.

It is clear so you can see
through it, and at the same

time, it stands up to the

temperature and electrical,
uh, discharges.

COPPENS: So we know that they
must have had a very specific

and good reason to incorporate it.

And the only possible reasons
really why they would be doing this

is because somehow it was
part of some technology.

NARRATOR: Recently,
archeologists have also

discovered large quantities
of mica crystals in a

subterranean chamber.

As well as, in several shafts that run

beneath the Avenue of the Dead.

TSOUKALOS: There is an underground
shaft that goes from the mica chamber

in direction of the Pyramid of the Sun.

So is it possible that this mica
chamber contained some type of

an energy-producing device,

a power plant that fed some
of the other pyramids?

It is possible.

CHILDRESS: There's many
similarities between the

pyramids at Teotihuacan
and the pyramids at Giza.

Both have inner chambers.

It's thought by some that the
Great Pyramid itself was a

massive microwave generator,
literally sending a beam up to a

satellite, or powering some other
kind of spacecraft or installation.

We could have had the same thing
happening here at Teotihuacan.

NARRATOR: If the Pyramid of the Sun
were really designed to

generate power, as ancient
astronaut theorists believe,

could its mica-lined chambers
and shafts have served as an

interconnecting power
grid for the entire city?

Or could the use of mica have served

another, perhaps more
protective purpose?

MARTELL: NASA uses mica to deflect
the heat on many of their crafts,

such as, the space shuttle.

On reentry, the bottom part of
the space shuttle is all lined

with mica and is a perfect deflector
of large amounts of heat.

CHILDRESS: Could the mica at
Teotihuacan also have been

used to shield and protect the
ancient people perhaps from the

blast of an extraterrestrial
rocket taking off?

Or even the radiation maybe
from some kind of spacecraft?

But if the ancient builders
of Teotihuacan used

mica for the purposes of power
generation and radiation

protection, then where did
their advanced engineering and

construction knowledge come from?

TSOUKALOS: The earliest
descriptions of Teotihuacan

talk about gods descending
from the sky in ships

or winged serpents, and that something
extraordinary happened there.

WILLIAM HENRY: Teotihuacan, like
the ancient Egyptian pyramids,

are believed to have been
built by the Gods.

And the gods ascended into the
heavens in craft that we today

think could be rocket ships.

The builders certainly must
have learned the secrets from

the gods themselves.

MARTELL: An interesting
similarity with many of these

ancient sites were reports
of the gods ascending and

descending from the heavens.

It's very possible that these were
actually being used as landing sites.

So it's very possible that the
knowledge to build Teotihuacan

was given to us
by extraterrestrials.

NARRATOR: Do the ancient legends
of flying alien beings

and other strange creatures
provide proof that ancient

aliens did, in fact, influence
the incredible architectural

achievements of Teotihuacan?

Perhaps more clues can be found
on the other side of the planet

and carved into the walls of
sacred Indian temples.

The Republic of India.

Situated on the subcontinent
of South Asia,

in the southern portion of the country,

are the ruins of a vast temple
complex known as Vijayanagara.

Translated as "the city of victory,"

this site once was the
prosperous capital of the

largest and most powerful Hindu
kingdom in all of India.

CHILDRESS: Vijayanagara is said to have
been built in the 14th century A.D.

However, there's a lot of evidence to
show that it is a much older city.

And in fact, Hindu legends say that
the ancient king, Rama

mad with his monkey god friend, Hanuma
they're at a cave at Vijayanagara

and this would put the city,
back many thousands of years.

This general region of Southern India
had human occupation,

perhaps, hundreds of
thousands of years.

While the city of Vijayanagara
is certainly the largest

settlement that ever existed,

there were civilizations that
existed there much earlier.

According to scholars, the temples of

Vijayanagara were built
using ancient geometric and

mathematical formulas found
only in Vastu Shastra,

a traditional Hindu system of
design based on aligning art and

architecture with the elemental

properties of earth, water,
air, fire and space.

Vastu architecture is unique, because
it creates structures,

that are supposed to resinate with
earth and cosmic energies.

When you create a structure, you

want the building to be in
harmony with the earth.

If you think as the earth as
embedded in a space nervous system

and that the solar system
is embedded in a space universe,

it's all one nervous system.

Well, the earth itself is tied
to the rest of the universe by

this, and receives and emanates
energy by using this nervous system.

And these temples illustrate that perfectly.

It could be that these spaces
were used as a technology to go

deep within human consciousness
and communicate with the gods.

The origins of Vastu
architecture can be traced

in ancient India Sangam
literature to a mythic hero

called Mamuni Mayan, who lived
some 10,000 to 12,000 years ago.

But who, or what, was this
mysterious ancient figure?

According to Hindu beliefs,
Mamuni Mayan is revered as the

Visvakarman-- the lord of
creation-- and the deity who

designed and fabricated the
divine architecture of the universe.

But might this god really have
been an extraterrestrial entity,

as ancient astronaut
theorists believe?

Researchers point to clues
carved in stone throughout the

ancient Vastu temples
of Vijayanagara.

CHILDRESS: Vijayanagara was
thought to be a city that

connected people to the gods.

The gods themselves were said
to have lived in this city--

Shiva and--- and Rama.

Many of the strange statues there
are of certain aspects of Vishnu.

And he looks like some kind of
strange extraterrestrial god.

These are statues that still
exist today at Vijayanagara.

According to the myths and legends,
this is a very holy place.

B. VIURIAKSHI: Why? Because of Rama,
one of the reincarnation of Vishnu

Rama is a God, he had to be displaced.

That's how this place has
become very sacred.

Through their evidence of the
actual nature of the Hindu Gods,

can be found at ancient
Hindu scriptures.

Epic poems, like the Mahabharata
and the Ramayana,

and sacred texts called Vedic literature
contain multiple references

to flying objects of various
shapes and sizes.

In the ancient Vedic literature,
they say that they had the ***,

PATRICK FLANAGAN: which
are anti-gravity air crafts

and they'd let them flew around on them.

And the Vimani's construction is detailed
in a Mahabharata and some of the other

ancient books that come to us
from that time, and stories.

In Vijayanagara you have the traditional
Hindu Vastu architecture.

You have, therefore, the stone

temples that are, uh, conical in shape.

So the architecture itself was
sort of a copy of the airships

or rockets or spaceships that
they called Vimanas.

At Vijayanagara, they were
using Vastu technology.

And Vastu technology has been
used to make flying vehicles.

The technology is there to
create weapons, to probably

create an energy that could
power a spaceship.

DÄNIKEN: The Vimanas we would be
called today, space shuttle.

Flying machines, now we have
different sort of space shuttle,

A Russian space shuttle doesn't look like
an American space shuttle and so on.

So in ancient India, we have
different descriptions of

Vimanas with wings, with all
kinds of lights and so on, and

out of these Vimanas
so-called gods came.

NARRATOR: Might the early people
of South India really

have been taught advanced
building techniques to harness

powerful cosmic energy?

And if so, might this have been
done so that early man could

connect with other distant worlds,

as ancient astronaut
theorists believe?

CHILDRESS: Vijayanagara would
have been one of many cities

around the planet built by
the extraterrestrial gods.

It was part of a network of
ancient cities around the planet

that included megalithic cites

in South America, on Pacific islands,
in India and Egypt and

Africa and other areas
of the Middle East.

It was one of their special
cities that they had built

thousands of years ago.

NARRATOR: Did ancient man
really incorporate the wisdom

and expertise of cosmic
travelers into the architecture

of their monumental buildings?

If so, wouldn't additional
evidence of such contact exist

elsewhere in the world?

What if there were recent
findings of the use of machine

technology discovered
in ancient Egypt?

NARRATOR:
Luxor, Egypt

Here, along the east
bank of the Nile River,

lie the archaeological remains of the
vast Karnak temple complex,

dating to the 32nd century B.C.

With its numerous structures,
including great halls, obelisks,

and an avenue of sphinxes,
Karnak represents the combined

achievement of many generations
of Egypt's ancient builders.

MARTELL: When one travels to Luxor
and gazes upon the Karnak Temple

we see large pillars, oversized obelisks,
and what's very amazing about this area

is that it's one of the few places
where over 30 Pharaohs contributed

to its sheer size and wealth of
knowledge over a vast period of time.

NARRATOR: For centuries,
archaeologists and scholars have

considered Karnak to be one
the most dramatic examples of

of the remarkable technological
ability of early man.

But do the construction
techniques used in building

these incredible monuments
reveal evidence of something more--

something not of this earth?

COPPENS: When we start looking
at hieroglyphs, we are

amazed as to how beautiful and
how carefully they have been carved.

The technology which we see
is clearly of a perfection which

it's beautiful, and almost
makes our heart cry

whenever you come
face to face with it.

NARRATOR: Experts believe the
most impressive evidence

of advanced machining can
be found at Karnak tall

4-sided tapering monuments,
called obelisks.

CHILDRESS: The obelisk is carved with
the same inscriptions on four sides.

They're all exactly the same,
and they are all beautifully cut

and articulated hieroglyphs into
this red granite stone.

We would look at it today and say
that would be some of machine

that carved these things out

For example, there were slots, they were
only .14 inches wide, half inch deep.

When you look inside you can see,
the bottom of them were made

ANDREWS: by a rotating tool.
So this was a tool that

punched in, came out, stepped down,
punched in, came out, ---

The human hand, no matter how
good you are, could never do that.

The tool marks themselves, the precision,

the depth, the rotating impressions
that were made were not done by hand.

Some of those were so precisely engraved
as to require machine tools to do it.

The tool kit that we see,

that the ancient Egyptians were
supposed to use-- there is no way

that any of those tools could
produce the results that we saw.

NARRATOR: To many scholars, the
apparent precision used in

the construction of the obelisks
at Karnak suggests a 21st-

century level of expertise.

CHRISTOPHER DUNN: Precision
is what our civilization is built on.

To craft something to within 2/10,000th
of an inch or 1,000th of an inch

is quite common today, because
that tolerance or that precision

is necessary and it has purpose.

But how can we explain such
precision in ancient construction?

TSOUKALOS: If you look at
the Ramses statue, it is so perfect

that you wonder how
was this even done?

With allegedly primitive tools?

Because today, we could only
do this, with machines.

DUNN: So the way we check the
symmetry of the Ramses statue is

to take two images of the same
photographs, make transparencies,

and compare the left to the right.

We flip it over and bring it
over the original,

and as we can see,
we have a perfect match.

The ancient Egyptians were very
skilled at working granite.

I cannot see how they could have
created what they created with

the tools that are commonly
accepted to have been in the

ancient Egyptians' toolbox,

such as copper chisels or stone chisels,
wooden mallets, stone balls.

But if as many historians and
archaeologists contend

the ancient builders did
not possess the equivalent

of modern tools, how were these
monuments built with such

mathematical precision?

Perhaps the answer can be found
by comparing an example of

ancient sculpture with one made
by more modern methods.

We can compare the aluminum model,
the face machine, the striations coming

down the face with the striations
coming down the face

of the statue at Karnak in Egypt,
and also the tool marks,

so where we see above the eyebrow,
the dig in right there,

where the-- kind of shows us
what kind of tools or the shape

of the tools that they used.

So the elements that bring this
machining to ancient statue are

not just the symmetry but also the
the geometry, the precision,

and the tool marks,
and we have all three elements

in modern machining
and ancient statuary.

It's an enormously difficult thing
to do by hand without

introducing some mechanical systems.

Seems to me to be impossible.

NARRATOR: But if the tool marks
seen on the Ramses statue

appear identical to those made
made by modern methods,

wouldn't it prove that the ancient
builders had access to machines

and perhaps even electricity?

CHILDRESS: Allegedly they did not
have electricity, power tools.

Supposedly, they didn't
have diamond saws.

But yet, they're doing things
that would require precision

work, precision tools.

So where did they get those things?

How could they have had these
advanced machining tools that

we've only just acquired ourselves
today in our civilization?

So one answer would have to be

they'd gotten it from ancient aliens.

NARRATOR: Might the early
Egyptian builders have had

access to extraterrestrial
knowledge and technology?

Or might the ancient builders
have been aliens themselves?

According to ancient astronaut
theorists, the answer is yes.

And for proof, they
point to a tiny island

in the middle of the
Mediterranean Sea.

Malta,

a small island nation in the
center of the Mediterranean Sea,

just south of Italy.

Scholars believe the first
inhabitants migrated here from

the nearby island of
Sicily in 5200 B.C.

Today, stone structures on the
Maltese island of Gozo are

considered by archeologists
to be among the greatest

achievements by ancient builders
anywhere in the world.

The temples on Malta and Gozo are 1,000
years older than the pyramids of Egypt.

They are the earliest monumental
architecture in the world.

There are engineering features in
these temples that are just astonishing.

We're talking about walls enclosing
space---paved walkways---

they were ceilinged at one time.

Definitely much more complex
than anything else that was

appearing on earth for
a very long time.

NARRATOR: Built before metal
tools or the wheel had been

invented, experts are baffled
by the sheer scale of the

construction and the use of
vertically arranged monolithic

stones, each weighing over 20 tons.

FLANAGAN: It's only been in recent years,
that we developed instruments,

that are accurate enough to appreciate
that some of these ancient societies

were able to shape stones
to optical accuracy,

optical accuracy greater
that we are able to do today.

And so they must have had some
kind of advanced technology

enabling them to do that.

NARRATOR: But if the ancient
builders of Malta had used

advanced technology,
where did it come from?

Researchers believe answers may be found
among Malta's numerous mysteries--

including the so-called cart ruts,
which can be found all over Malta.

These parallel incisions in the bedrock
have been identified as cart ruts

because that's what they look like.

What they really were,
what their purpose was,

we don't know.
There's nothing written.

ANDREWS: The cart ruts on Malta
are about four feet wide.

They're uniformly spaced.

Some of them run hundreds of yards.

Some of them run miles.

According to the studies of them, they've
probably been there up to 10,000 years ago

Because some of the ancient temples
have got wider on the top of the ruts

NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut
theories believe

the cart ruts may,
in fact, be evidence,

that Malta was one of Earth's
earliest industrial work sites.

CHILDRESS: It seems like what these
cart ruts really were,

was some kind of ancient railway.

And this railway was then to
move heavy machinery, much as we

would use today in a mining
operation, even the way rockets

are rolled out onto a launch pad.

NARRATOR: Further evidence of
the use of advanced technology

on Malta can be found underground.

In 1902, construction workers,
while building the foundation

for several houses, accidentally
discovered a mysterious

underground sanctuary
dating to 2500 B.C.

Called the Hypogeum, the
subterranean structure was

revealed to be three levels deep---
all hewn from solid stone.

ENEIX: It's been estimated
that they removed more than

2,000 tons of stone from these
subterranean chambers to create

a space that beautifully replicates
the temples above ground.

NARRATOR: Perhaps one of the greatest
mysteries concerning

the Hypogeum involve
the acoustical properties

in what is called
the "Oracle Room."

The acoustic properties within this
are absolutely extraordinary,

because what happens is that if a
person is within the Oracle Room,

the way that their voice is carried is
heard within the whole of the complex.

The ancients were using this
profound sound technology

in order to put themselves
in a deep state of trance,

in order to access higher human
conciousness, they wanted

to go deep within, in order to connect
themselves with star energy

NARRATOR: Might the Oracle
Room have been used to

communicate with ancient gods?

Or, perhaps, celestial ancestors?

Or do its advanced acoustics
suggest that early Maltese

people had mastered the science
of sonic manipulation,

the ability to manipulate solid
matter through audio frequencies?

FLANAGAN: One of the main
things that I've realized is

that they're using something called
fractal nonlinear resonance.

And we're now discovering in the
field of material science that

nonlinear resonances of sound
waves, microwaves, magnetic

waves, that we are able to
actually change matter in ways

that we never dreamed possible.

NARRATOR: If the Oracle Room was
used to harness the power of

audio waves, as many ancient
astronaut theorists believe,

is it possible the prehistoric
builders used sonic technology

to help build Malta's mammoth temples?

CHILDRESS: The builders had this advanced
knowledge of sonic technology.

And, in fact, sound technology
can be used for all kinds of

applications, including
levitation or anti-gravity.

COLLINS: All around the
world, there are myths and

legends relating to how large
structures came into being.
