These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:01,871 --> 00:00:03,481 Mysterious golden orbs 2 00:00:03,612 --> 00:00:06,484 believed to be part of an ancient power plant, 3 00:00:06,615 --> 00:00:08,921 a sacred wooden box 4 00:00:09,052 --> 00:00:13,100 said to facilitate communication with the heavens, 5 00:00:13,230 --> 00:00:15,972 and an elaborately carved ancient tomb 6 00:00:16,103 --> 00:00:18,627 that appears to depict an astronaut. 7 00:00:18,757 --> 00:00:20,977 For more than a decade, 8 00:00:21,108 --> 00:00:23,414 Ancient Alienshas examined evidence 9 00:00:23,545 --> 00:00:26,461 of what could be the remnants of an advanced 10 00:00:26,591 --> 00:00:29,986 and perhaps otherworldly civilization. 11 00:00:30,117 --> 00:00:35,209 Now we're going to explore ten of the most compelling examples 12 00:00:35,339 --> 00:00:38,429 of unexplained technologies ever discovered. 13 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,476 Technologies that just may hold the proof 14 00:00:41,606 --> 00:00:45,741 that Earth has been visited by extraterrestrials. 15 00:00:56,230 --> 00:00:59,972 History and mythology are filled with incredible stories 16 00:01:00,103 --> 00:01:03,585 of human encounters with otherworldly beings, 17 00:01:03,715 --> 00:01:08,503 flying ships and powerful weapons that defy explanation. 18 00:01:08,633 --> 00:01:11,027 For ancient astronaut theorists like me, 19 00:01:11,158 --> 00:01:14,857 these are descriptions of misunderstood technology 20 00:01:14,987 --> 00:01:18,295 that might be extraterrestrial in origin. 21 00:01:18,426 --> 00:01:20,689 And some of the most compelling evidence 22 00:01:20,819 --> 00:01:23,779 that our ancestors witnessed alien technology 23 00:01:23,909 --> 00:01:26,347 can be found in ancient artwork, 24 00:01:26,477 --> 00:01:28,697 like a mysterious carving in Egypt 25 00:01:28,827 --> 00:01:33,223 created thousands of years ago that appears strikingly similar 26 00:01:33,354 --> 00:01:36,357 to an electrical device from the modern world. 27 00:01:38,750 --> 00:01:40,839 At number ten on our countdown 28 00:01:40,970 --> 00:01:44,016 of the top ten unexplained technologies: 29 00:01:44,147 --> 00:01:45,714 the Dendera light bulb. 30 00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:51,415 Dendera, Egypt. 31 00:01:53,025 --> 00:01:56,290 370 miles south of the Giza Plateau 32 00:01:56,420 --> 00:01:59,249 stands the Hathor Temple. 33 00:01:59,380 --> 00:02:03,514 This 2,000-year-old monument is remarkably well-preserved 34 00:02:03,645 --> 00:02:08,171 and covered with elaborate artwork inside and out. 35 00:02:08,302 --> 00:02:13,045 Among the hundreds of carvings, a curious object can be found 36 00:02:13,176 --> 00:02:15,178 that, according to Egyptologists, 37 00:02:15,309 --> 00:02:19,182 is a representation of a lotus flower. 38 00:02:19,313 --> 00:02:20,966 We have depictions 39 00:02:21,097 --> 00:02:25,754 of this so-called "lotus flower" of, Dendera. 40 00:02:25,884 --> 00:02:29,453 And there are not just a few inside the crypt, 41 00:02:29,584 --> 00:02:33,109 but they're, in fact, also on the outside wall on top. 42 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,633 So, what are we looking at here? 43 00:02:35,764 --> 00:02:40,943 Egyptology suggests that this bulb-like thing 44 00:02:41,073 --> 00:02:44,425 is the depiction of the beautiful aroma 45 00:02:44,555 --> 00:02:46,688 of a lotus flower. 46 00:02:46,818 --> 00:02:51,127 What's often not discussed is the surrounding hieroglyphics, 47 00:02:51,258 --> 00:02:55,784 that say that this has something to do with a bringer of light. 48 00:02:57,002 --> 00:02:59,918 When physicists and electrical engineers 49 00:03:00,049 --> 00:03:02,443 and people look at this, they can readily see 50 00:03:02,573 --> 00:03:05,141 that there appears to be what is a filament 51 00:03:05,272 --> 00:03:08,579 inside this tube that could be interpreted as a glass tube. 52 00:03:08,710 --> 00:03:13,758 It appears to be a blueprint for what we would say is a... 53 00:03:13,889 --> 00:03:15,673 an incandescent light bulb. 54 00:03:17,327 --> 00:03:18,509 It's got a filament inside it 55 00:03:18,589 --> 00:03:20,156 that looks like a snake. 56 00:03:20,287 --> 00:03:23,464 There's a cable coming out of the back. 57 00:03:23,594 --> 00:03:27,032 It's then attached to a small box. 58 00:03:27,163 --> 00:03:29,948 So, here we have what appears to be a depiction 59 00:03:30,079 --> 00:03:31,733 of an electrical device. 60 00:03:31,863 --> 00:03:33,822 This means that the ancient Egyptians, 61 00:03:33,952 --> 00:03:37,086 they knew about electricity, they were actually lighting 62 00:03:37,217 --> 00:03:40,089 many of their temples and tombs with electrical lights. 63 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,658 How did the ancient Egyptians 64 00:03:43,788 --> 00:03:46,922 light the insides of their structures? 65 00:03:48,619 --> 00:03:51,405 Because some structures are deep underground 66 00:03:51,535 --> 00:03:54,321 and filled with hieroglyphics. 67 00:03:54,451 --> 00:03:57,324 The ancient astronaut theory suggests 68 00:03:57,454 --> 00:03:59,413 that perhaps the ancient Egyptians 69 00:03:59,543 --> 00:04:02,459 had access to electricity, 70 00:04:02,590 --> 00:04:07,377 and these lighting materials were given to the Egyptians 71 00:04:07,508 --> 00:04:09,510 by the extraterrestrials. 72 00:04:11,163 --> 00:04:15,124 The idea that ancient Egyptians had light bulbs 73 00:04:15,255 --> 00:04:18,345 almost 2,000 years before Thomas Edison 74 00:04:18,475 --> 00:04:21,783 introduced them in modern times is truly amazing. 75 00:04:21,913 --> 00:04:25,569 And in the 1930s, an archeologist in Iraq 76 00:04:25,700 --> 00:04:28,442 discovered incredible artifacts 77 00:04:28,572 --> 00:04:31,749 that may reveal just where they got the power 78 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,708 to illuminate the ancient world. 79 00:04:35,927 --> 00:04:37,973 Number nine on our countdown 80 00:04:38,103 --> 00:04:41,368 of the top ten unexplained technologies: 81 00:04:41,498 --> 00:04:43,631 the Baghdad Battery. 82 00:04:47,461 --> 00:04:52,727 Baghdad, Iraq, 1938. 83 00:04:52,857 --> 00:04:54,468 While combing through the collection 84 00:04:54,598 --> 00:04:57,340 at the Baghdad Archeological Museum, 85 00:04:57,471 --> 00:05:01,301 a German archeologist discovers several terra-cotta pots 86 00:05:01,431 --> 00:05:06,523 and copper cylinders dating to around the first century BC. 87 00:05:06,654 --> 00:05:09,613 Remarkably, the pots appear to have been used 88 00:05:09,744 --> 00:05:11,746 for generating electricity 89 00:05:11,876 --> 00:05:14,575 more than 1,800 years before the invention 90 00:05:14,705 --> 00:05:16,925 of modern batteries. 91 00:05:17,055 --> 00:05:19,928 The Baghdad Battery is a very interesting piece 92 00:05:20,058 --> 00:05:22,626 of ancient technology. 93 00:05:22,757 --> 00:05:25,107 They're made up of very simple materials from that region. 94 00:05:25,237 --> 00:05:29,590 Usually a clay pot, copper and an iron rod 95 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,201 surrounded by an asphalt stopper. 96 00:05:33,420 --> 00:05:35,073 In 2009, 97 00:05:35,204 --> 00:05:37,772 ancient astronaut theorist Jason Martell 98 00:05:37,902 --> 00:05:39,948 showed Giorgio Tsoukalos 99 00:05:40,078 --> 00:05:44,126 just how the so-called Baghdad Batteries work. 100 00:05:44,256 --> 00:05:45,954 This is made out of a clay pot, 101 00:05:46,084 --> 00:05:48,783 clay just found naturally in that region in southern Iraq. 102 00:05:48,913 --> 00:05:51,786 And then they would use a small copper lining, 103 00:05:51,916 --> 00:05:55,616 and an asphalt stopper wrapped around an iron rod. 104 00:05:55,746 --> 00:05:57,748 What we're gonna do is, basically just 105 00:05:57,879 --> 00:06:00,882 fill the clay pot with some weak acidic acid... 106 00:06:01,012 --> 00:06:02,362 orange juice, in this case. 107 00:06:05,103 --> 00:06:07,323 And we'll go ahead and put the copper rod back in there. 108 00:06:07,454 --> 00:06:09,281 Okay. 109 00:06:09,412 --> 00:06:13,677 And these all applied together creates electricity. 110 00:06:16,593 --> 00:06:19,422 You can consistently get about four volts 111 00:06:19,553 --> 00:06:21,946 with something about that large. 112 00:06:22,077 --> 00:06:23,905 So, if we think of a Baghdad Battery 113 00:06:24,035 --> 00:06:26,298 around this size generating four volts, 114 00:06:26,429 --> 00:06:29,693 what if we increased the size to around six feet? 115 00:06:29,824 --> 00:06:32,696 That might generate 20, 30, 50 volts 116 00:06:32,827 --> 00:06:34,698 and have the sufficient power 117 00:06:34,829 --> 00:06:38,572 to actually utilize energy in a way that we do today. 118 00:06:38,702 --> 00:06:40,574 So, it's very possible that the Baghdad Battery 119 00:06:40,704 --> 00:06:42,793 was being utilized in conjunction 120 00:06:42,924 --> 00:06:45,796 with other technological devices. 121 00:06:45,927 --> 00:06:48,110 When we look at this through the ancient astronaut lens, 122 00:06:48,190 --> 00:06:49,800 we see that throughout history, 123 00:06:49,931 --> 00:06:53,456 man has been given technology by the gods. 124 00:06:53,587 --> 00:06:55,197 We have to wonder if Baghdad Batteries 125 00:06:55,327 --> 00:06:56,894 aren't pieces of technology 126 00:06:57,025 --> 00:06:59,767 that were given to man by the extraterrestrials. 127 00:07:02,465 --> 00:07:06,338 Next on our list is a weapon used by the Roman Empire 128 00:07:06,469 --> 00:07:09,385 that was so powerful, it struck terror 129 00:07:09,516 --> 00:07:11,126 throughout the ancient world. 130 00:07:11,256 --> 00:07:13,171 But what's even more intriguing 131 00:07:13,302 --> 00:07:15,260 is that this blazing device 132 00:07:15,391 --> 00:07:19,569 has baffled scientists for over 1,600 years. 133 00:07:21,963 --> 00:07:25,445 Number eight on our countdown: Greek fire. 134 00:07:28,230 --> 00:07:29,710 Constantinople. 135 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,626 674 AD. 136 00:07:34,323 --> 00:07:37,065 The magnificent capitol of the Roman Empire 137 00:07:37,195 --> 00:07:41,069 is under attack by a fleet of 5,000 Arab ships. 138 00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:45,073 To defend his city, Emperor Constantine IV 139 00:07:45,203 --> 00:07:48,032 unleashes a powerful and mysterious new weapon 140 00:07:48,163 --> 00:07:50,470 that destroys the Arab navy in minutes. 141 00:07:52,341 --> 00:07:54,691 It was the most devasting weapon of the time, 142 00:07:54,822 --> 00:07:57,172 and was called "Greek fire." 143 00:07:58,565 --> 00:08:00,044 Greek fire 144 00:08:00,175 --> 00:08:04,222 was a liquid that could be pumped through hoses. 145 00:08:04,353 --> 00:08:09,271 It was like the early flamethrowers of the time, 146 00:08:09,401 --> 00:08:13,275 and when it was ignited as it came out of these hoses, 147 00:08:13,405 --> 00:08:16,147 it would then be directed onto ships 148 00:08:16,278 --> 00:08:19,760 or sometimes onto docks and things like that. 149 00:08:21,022 --> 00:08:23,372 And it would start a tremendous fire 150 00:08:23,503 --> 00:08:25,853 and water could not put it out. 151 00:08:27,942 --> 00:08:30,597 It was said to burn so violently and so hot 152 00:08:30,727 --> 00:08:34,035 that even in the greatest of rainstorms, 153 00:08:34,165 --> 00:08:36,385 the fire would not go out. 154 00:08:36,516 --> 00:08:38,387 And when projected out to sea, 155 00:08:38,518 --> 00:08:40,781 when it sunk into the water 156 00:08:40,911 --> 00:08:42,751 it would still burn on the bottom of the ocean. 157 00:08:44,393 --> 00:08:46,743 It gave them enormous technological advantage 158 00:08:46,874 --> 00:08:48,789 in naval and land battles. 159 00:08:48,919 --> 00:08:50,660 Some of the chroniclers would say that 160 00:08:50,791 --> 00:08:54,011 water would, in fact, enhance its ability. 161 00:08:57,058 --> 00:08:58,929 Perhaps even more astounding 162 00:08:59,060 --> 00:09:01,279 than the incredible power of Greek fire 163 00:09:01,410 --> 00:09:03,804 is the fact that scientists 164 00:09:03,934 --> 00:09:05,806 have not been able to reproduce it 165 00:09:05,936 --> 00:09:08,548 even after 1,600 years. 166 00:09:10,027 --> 00:09:13,335 The recipe for this Greek fire had been 167 00:09:13,465 --> 00:09:14,902 very closely guarded as a secret, 168 00:09:15,032 --> 00:09:16,606 and it still represents one of the greatest 169 00:09:16,686 --> 00:09:17,992 enigmas in ancient history. 170 00:09:19,471 --> 00:09:21,822 What was this mysterious technology? 171 00:09:21,952 --> 00:09:25,565 And, more importantly, where did it come from? 172 00:09:26,957 --> 00:09:28,785 One story goes that Greek fire 173 00:09:28,916 --> 00:09:32,136 was given to the Romans by an angel. 174 00:09:33,616 --> 00:09:37,141 Just change the word "angel" to "extraterrestrial," 175 00:09:37,272 --> 00:09:40,101 and all of a sudden, the whole story makes sense. 176 00:09:42,190 --> 00:09:44,540 You have to ask, why would an angel 177 00:09:44,671 --> 00:09:49,632 offer such a powerful weapon and advantage to the Romans? 178 00:09:49,763 --> 00:09:52,069 Is this an example of extraterrestrial interference 179 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,418 in human affairs? 180 00:10:00,774 --> 00:10:02,217 For ancient astronaut theorists like me, 181 00:10:02,297 --> 00:10:04,255 some of the most intriguing accounts 182 00:10:04,386 --> 00:10:06,606 of unexplained technology 183 00:10:06,736 --> 00:10:09,434 can be found in the pages of the Old Testament. 184 00:10:09,565 --> 00:10:12,568 Like the next item on our list, which we all know as 185 00:10:12,699 --> 00:10:16,050 the vessel used to hold the Ten Commandments. 186 00:10:16,180 --> 00:10:19,662 But it is also written that this mysterious wooden box 187 00:10:19,793 --> 00:10:23,448 could part rivers, destroy armies 188 00:10:23,579 --> 00:10:26,713 and even communicate with otherworldly beings. 189 00:10:28,802 --> 00:10:31,152 At number seven on our countdown 190 00:10:31,282 --> 00:10:34,546 of the top ten unexplained technologies: 191 00:10:34,677 --> 00:10:36,461 the Ark of the Covenant. 192 00:10:42,816 --> 00:10:44,469 Mount Sinai, Egypt. 193 00:10:47,516 --> 00:10:50,650 According to the book of Exodus in the Hebrew Bible, 194 00:10:50,780 --> 00:10:54,871 it was here that the prophet Moses was instructed by God 195 00:10:55,002 --> 00:10:57,439 to build one of the most important artifacts 196 00:10:57,569 --> 00:10:59,615 in Judeo-Christian tradition: 197 00:10:59,746 --> 00:11:01,791 The Ark of the Covenant. 198 00:11:03,184 --> 00:11:05,229 Moses was given very specific measurements. 199 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,014 It was to be four feet long 200 00:11:07,144 --> 00:11:09,146 and about two feet wide and two feet deep. 201 00:11:09,277 --> 00:11:10,917 The container must be made of acacia wood. 202 00:11:11,018 --> 00:11:12,541 That it must be covered with gold. 203 00:11:12,672 --> 00:11:15,718 The top of the ark was to be surmounted 204 00:11:15,849 --> 00:11:17,981 by two cherubim 205 00:11:18,112 --> 00:11:19,679 that would face each other. 206 00:11:22,682 --> 00:11:25,815 God commands Moses to build 207 00:11:25,946 --> 00:11:28,949 this chest, which the original Ten Commandments 208 00:11:29,079 --> 00:11:30,385 was to be placed. 209 00:11:31,908 --> 00:11:34,041 And the presence of God 210 00:11:34,171 --> 00:11:36,391 would then be seen. 211 00:11:37,871 --> 00:11:40,917 Sounds very simple, but yet there were properties 212 00:11:41,048 --> 00:11:44,399 to the Ark that made it far more 213 00:11:44,529 --> 00:11:46,793 than just a symbolic representation 214 00:11:46,923 --> 00:11:48,490 of something religious. 215 00:11:50,622 --> 00:11:53,016 Biblical accounts of the Ark portray it 216 00:11:53,147 --> 00:11:56,498 as possessing mysterious powers that aided the Israelites 217 00:11:56,628 --> 00:11:58,805 during their journey to the Promised Land. 218 00:11:58,935 --> 00:12:01,633 Helping to part rivers, 219 00:12:01,764 --> 00:12:03,853 level mountains, 220 00:12:03,984 --> 00:12:06,377 and destroy armies. 221 00:12:08,118 --> 00:12:10,904 The most important thing about trying to understand 222 00:12:11,034 --> 00:12:14,690 how the Ark of the Covenant functioned 223 00:12:14,821 --> 00:12:18,781 is the fact that specific instructions were given by God 224 00:12:18,912 --> 00:12:21,436 to Moses about how 225 00:12:21,566 --> 00:12:23,438 it was to be manufactured. 226 00:12:23,568 --> 00:12:25,701 The exact size. 227 00:12:25,832 --> 00:12:27,834 How it is to be raised off the ground. 228 00:12:27,964 --> 00:12:30,053 How it is to be carried. 229 00:12:30,184 --> 00:12:33,100 And this tells us almost certainly 230 00:12:33,230 --> 00:12:35,276 that we are dealing with technology. 231 00:12:37,191 --> 00:12:39,802 Is it possible that the baffling powers 232 00:12:39,933 --> 00:12:42,718 ascribed to the Ark provide evidence 233 00:12:42,849 --> 00:12:45,112 that it held highly advanced 234 00:12:45,242 --> 00:12:48,419 and perhaps extraterrestrial technology? 235 00:12:49,638 --> 00:12:52,728 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, 236 00:12:52,859 --> 00:12:56,688 and suggest clues can be found in rabbinical texts 237 00:12:56,819 --> 00:12:59,387 that describe what the Ark contained. 238 00:13:00,867 --> 00:13:03,521 It is said that the Ark housed... 239 00:13:03,652 --> 00:13:06,611 the actual Hebrew word is "kavod," 240 00:13:06,742 --> 00:13:09,310 or "glory" of God. 241 00:13:10,877 --> 00:13:13,096 Now this in quote "glory of God" 242 00:13:13,227 --> 00:13:17,057 was not something symbolic, it was something actual, 243 00:13:17,187 --> 00:13:19,363 something tangible, 244 00:13:19,494 --> 00:13:22,105 something energetic. 245 00:13:22,236 --> 00:13:24,978 We know from the biblical story 246 00:13:25,108 --> 00:13:27,502 that when the two sons of the high priest Aaron 247 00:13:27,632 --> 00:13:30,461 came forth to make an offering, 248 00:13:30,592 --> 00:13:34,465 fire entered into the nostrils 249 00:13:34,596 --> 00:13:36,990 and burned them from the inside, 250 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,819 leaving their external forms intact. 251 00:13:39,949 --> 00:13:43,431 We might refer to that as an electrocution. 252 00:13:44,998 --> 00:13:46,869 According to religious texts, 253 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,612 the Ark of the Covenant was placed inside Solomon's Temple. 254 00:13:51,961 --> 00:13:55,051 And then it simply vanished. 255 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,750 But the extraordinary and unexplained powers 256 00:13:58,881 --> 00:14:02,145 of the Ark continue to interest researchers 257 00:14:02,276 --> 00:14:06,149 and ancient astronaut theorists to this very day. 258 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,935 What are we missing here in the biblical understanding 259 00:14:09,065 --> 00:14:12,112 of this mysterious box? 260 00:14:13,635 --> 00:14:17,421 It was clearly far more than just a religious icon. 261 00:14:17,552 --> 00:14:20,424 There was a technology involved. 262 00:14:20,555 --> 00:14:23,079 And that is what makes the Ark, to this day, 263 00:14:23,210 --> 00:14:25,690 one of the greatest mysteries of our history. 264 00:14:27,954 --> 00:14:30,913 Another ancient description of the Ark of the Covenant 265 00:14:31,044 --> 00:14:33,960 can be found in a sacred Hebrew text 266 00:14:34,090 --> 00:14:35,613 called the Zohar. 267 00:14:35,744 --> 00:14:37,833 And according to one translation, 268 00:14:37,964 --> 00:14:40,923 the Ark contained another mysterious device 269 00:14:41,054 --> 00:14:42,838 that supplied the Israelites 270 00:14:42,969 --> 00:14:45,058 with limitless supplies of food. 271 00:14:47,147 --> 00:14:49,410 Number six on our countdown: 272 00:14:49,540 --> 00:14:50,890 the Manna Machine. 273 00:14:54,371 --> 00:14:56,504 According to the Hebrew Bible's 274 00:14:56,634 --> 00:14:59,855 book of Exodus, after Moses helped the Israelites 275 00:14:59,986 --> 00:15:01,770 escape across the Red Sea, 276 00:15:01,901 --> 00:15:04,381 he led them into the Sinai Desert, 277 00:15:04,512 --> 00:15:07,689 where they lived for 40 years. 278 00:15:07,819 --> 00:15:09,952 It is said that they survived 279 00:15:10,083 --> 00:15:11,998 by eating a mysterious food 280 00:15:12,128 --> 00:15:13,869 called "manna." 281 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,220 Manna is this magical substance that's 282 00:15:17,351 --> 00:15:19,316 sort of white like cardamom with a taste like honey. 283 00:15:19,396 --> 00:15:20,789 You know, the Bible 284 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,660 tells us, this is what feeds people. 285 00:15:22,791 --> 00:15:24,662 Moses commands the people to take some, 286 00:15:24,793 --> 00:15:26,664 put in a jar, keep it 287 00:15:26,795 --> 00:15:28,064 so that you can always tell the story 288 00:15:28,144 --> 00:15:30,190 of how God fed you. 289 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:31,676 And that's one of the things that's put, 290 00:15:31,756 --> 00:15:33,062 in the Ark of the Covenant. 291 00:15:33,193 --> 00:15:34,977 That's how special this is. 292 00:15:35,108 --> 00:15:37,632 While the story of the Israelites receiving 293 00:15:37,762 --> 00:15:39,895 manna from heaven is traditionally understood 294 00:15:40,026 --> 00:15:41,897 as divine intervention, 295 00:15:42,028 --> 00:15:43,986 some researchers have suggested 296 00:15:44,117 --> 00:15:46,423 that it could also be interpreted 297 00:15:46,554 --> 00:15:48,251 as an event involving some kind 298 00:15:48,382 --> 00:15:50,123 of advanced technology. 299 00:15:52,603 --> 00:15:56,651 In 1978, linguistic expert George Sassoon 300 00:15:56,781 --> 00:16:00,133 and electrical engineer Rodney Dale publish 301 00:16:00,263 --> 00:16:02,048 The Manna Machine. 302 00:16:02,178 --> 00:16:05,312 In it, they point to an ancient rabbinical text 303 00:16:05,442 --> 00:16:08,271 called the Zohar that describes manna 304 00:16:08,402 --> 00:16:11,187 coming from a curious device. 305 00:16:11,318 --> 00:16:13,711 George Sassoon and Rodney Dale, 306 00:16:13,842 --> 00:16:16,018 by reading the Zohar, 307 00:16:16,149 --> 00:16:18,716 determined that the translation was wrong. 308 00:16:18,847 --> 00:16:20,849 It was supposed to be 309 00:16:20,980 --> 00:16:23,852 the "transportable one of the tanks." 310 00:16:25,375 --> 00:16:27,203 What does that mean? 311 00:16:27,334 --> 00:16:30,424 So they actually came to the conclusion that 312 00:16:30,554 --> 00:16:33,122 what is described was a type of a machine 313 00:16:33,253 --> 00:16:36,212 that they proposed was driven 314 00:16:36,343 --> 00:16:38,736 with nuclear power 315 00:16:38,867 --> 00:16:41,261 and that that produced 316 00:16:41,391 --> 00:16:43,045 the so-called manna 317 00:16:43,176 --> 00:16:45,526 to the Hebrews wandering out in the desert. 318 00:16:48,964 --> 00:16:51,271 Is it possible that the Ark of the Covenant 319 00:16:51,401 --> 00:16:54,056 contained a nuclear-powered device? 320 00:16:54,187 --> 00:16:56,885 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, 321 00:16:57,016 --> 00:16:59,757 and point to clues in the Bible. 322 00:16:59,888 --> 00:17:03,022 In the Bible, we have multiple stories 323 00:17:03,152 --> 00:17:05,763 of people not only dying 324 00:17:05,894 --> 00:17:07,414 when they came in contact with the Ark, 325 00:17:07,504 --> 00:17:09,985 but some only died 326 00:17:10,116 --> 00:17:11,943 a week or two later. 327 00:17:12,074 --> 00:17:13,641 And how did they die? 328 00:17:13,771 --> 00:17:16,383 Because they had boils on their skin 329 00:17:16,513 --> 00:17:18,994 and their hair started to fall out. 330 00:17:19,125 --> 00:17:22,606 Well, that is a sign of radioactive poisoning. 331 00:17:22,737 --> 00:17:24,391 And the only way 332 00:17:24,521 --> 00:17:27,089 that such a result could have been gotten 333 00:17:27,220 --> 00:17:30,136 is if the Ark is 334 00:17:30,266 --> 00:17:32,921 an extraterrestrial device that is radioactive. 335 00:17:39,710 --> 00:17:41,110 We're coming up on the halfway point 336 00:17:41,408 --> 00:17:44,585 in our countdown of the top ten unexplained technologies. 337 00:17:44,715 --> 00:17:47,544 And the next item on our list can be found 338 00:17:47,675 --> 00:17:49,764 across the globe in the form 339 00:17:49,894 --> 00:17:51,896 of mysterious stone statues 340 00:17:52,027 --> 00:17:53,724 and strange figures 341 00:17:53,855 --> 00:17:55,987 painted on canyon walls. 342 00:17:56,118 --> 00:17:59,034 In my opinion, these images aren't just products 343 00:17:59,165 --> 00:18:01,080 of our ancestors' imagination, 344 00:18:01,210 --> 00:18:03,169 but instead are depictions 345 00:18:03,299 --> 00:18:04,909 of space travelers. 346 00:18:07,608 --> 00:18:09,523 Number five on our countdown: 347 00:18:09,653 --> 00:18:11,960 ancient astronauts. 348 00:18:19,010 --> 00:18:21,622 American archaeologists Matthew Stirling 349 00:18:21,752 --> 00:18:24,668 and Philip Drucker begin an excavation 350 00:18:24,799 --> 00:18:27,628 of an ancient pyramid mound. 351 00:18:27,758 --> 00:18:29,891 Over the next two decades, 352 00:18:30,021 --> 00:18:32,372 they unearth extraordinary statues, 353 00:18:32,502 --> 00:18:34,287 carvings and mosaics 354 00:18:34,417 --> 00:18:36,506 from a previously unknown culture, 355 00:18:36,637 --> 00:18:38,160 the Olmecs. 356 00:18:38,291 --> 00:18:40,858 A civilization that emerged 357 00:18:40,989 --> 00:18:43,731 around 1400 BC. 358 00:18:43,861 --> 00:18:47,038 The discovery is a major archeological find 359 00:18:47,169 --> 00:18:49,737 and produced a sensational piece of evidence 360 00:18:49,867 --> 00:18:52,131 for the ancient astronaut theory. 361 00:18:54,437 --> 00:18:57,484 At the Museum of Natural History in New York City 362 00:18:57,614 --> 00:18:59,877 there is a Olmec figurine. 363 00:19:00,008 --> 00:19:02,967 And if you look at this figurine, 364 00:19:03,098 --> 00:19:07,624 you can tell that this guy is wearing some sort of a suit. 365 00:19:07,755 --> 00:19:11,759 He has some type of controls with tubes on his chest. 366 00:19:11,889 --> 00:19:15,893 On the side, you have six wings coming out of him. 367 00:19:16,024 --> 00:19:18,896 So you have to wonder, what is depicted here? 368 00:19:19,027 --> 00:19:21,856 And in my opinion, it is the smoking gun 369 00:19:21,986 --> 00:19:25,773 of our ancestors having access to aviation technology. 370 00:19:27,731 --> 00:19:31,822 Could it be that a figurine made more than 2,400 years ago 371 00:19:31,953 --> 00:19:33,868 depicts a person wearing some sort 372 00:19:33,998 --> 00:19:35,870 of advanced flying technology? 373 00:19:37,176 --> 00:19:40,657 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, 374 00:19:40,788 --> 00:19:43,878 and suggest even more compelling imagery can be found 375 00:19:44,008 --> 00:19:47,360 1,700 miles to north in Utah. 376 00:19:48,752 --> 00:19:52,103 Here, along the walls of Ninemile Canyon, 377 00:19:52,234 --> 00:19:55,498 dozens of ancient cave paintings depict figures 378 00:19:55,629 --> 00:19:58,066 wearing very curious attire. 379 00:19:59,894 --> 00:20:01,685 One of the most important galleries is referred to 380 00:20:01,765 --> 00:20:03,289 as "the Family Panel." 381 00:20:03,419 --> 00:20:05,116 What's interesting about this one is that 382 00:20:05,247 --> 00:20:07,945 it shows these apparently luminous, 383 00:20:08,076 --> 00:20:10,557 humanoid-type beings that appear to have 384 00:20:10,687 --> 00:20:14,213 spacesuits on, a helmet, even antenna. 385 00:20:15,910 --> 00:20:18,565 The Navajos themselves claim 386 00:20:18,695 --> 00:20:21,176 that these petroglyphs 387 00:20:21,307 --> 00:20:24,875 were from people who were before the flood, 388 00:20:25,006 --> 00:20:28,618 before this cataclysm had come to the Earth. 389 00:20:28,749 --> 00:20:31,447 And they maintain that these images were 390 00:20:31,578 --> 00:20:33,710 many thousands of years old. 391 00:20:34,972 --> 00:20:37,018 Could it be that these figures 392 00:20:37,148 --> 00:20:39,542 really depict beings in spacesuits? 393 00:20:42,676 --> 00:20:44,678 Halfway across the world, 394 00:20:44,808 --> 00:20:48,638 in Northwestern Australia, are dozens of cave paintings 395 00:20:48,769 --> 00:20:50,640 that depict other mysterious beings 396 00:20:50,771 --> 00:20:52,903 who appear to be wearing spacesuits 397 00:20:53,034 --> 00:20:54,949 known as the Wandjina. 398 00:20:56,342 --> 00:20:58,779 The Wandjinas are incredible 399 00:20:58,909 --> 00:21:01,869 because they have these gigantic heads 400 00:21:01,999 --> 00:21:04,132 and these long bodies. 401 00:21:04,263 --> 00:21:07,483 It seems as if they're inside 402 00:21:07,614 --> 00:21:10,269 some sort of a pressurized suit. 403 00:21:11,574 --> 00:21:14,055 Now, the stories behind the Wandjinas goes 404 00:21:14,185 --> 00:21:16,144 that they descended from the sky 405 00:21:16,275 --> 00:21:18,581 and gave knowledge 406 00:21:18,712 --> 00:21:21,976 and jumpstarted civilization in Australia 407 00:21:22,106 --> 00:21:24,413 thousands and thousands of years ago. 408 00:21:24,544 --> 00:21:28,243 Now, this is accepted history in Australia. 409 00:21:28,374 --> 00:21:30,463 So my suggestion is 410 00:21:30,593 --> 00:21:34,162 that the extraterrestrials that came to Earth 411 00:21:34,293 --> 00:21:36,077 thousands and thousands of years ago 412 00:21:36,207 --> 00:21:38,297 didn't just visit Australia, 413 00:21:38,427 --> 00:21:42,301 they visited each and every continent on Earth, 414 00:21:42,431 --> 00:21:45,826 and that is why we have the similar motifs. 415 00:21:48,872 --> 00:21:52,223 When it comes to evidence of unexplained technology 416 00:21:52,354 --> 00:21:54,138 in the distant past, 417 00:21:54,269 --> 00:21:58,099 sometimes the best examples are hiding in plain sight. 418 00:21:58,229 --> 00:22:00,493 Like the next item on our countdown, 419 00:22:00,623 --> 00:22:02,495 which, when you know how to look at it, 420 00:22:02,625 --> 00:22:05,019 reveals what I consider to be 421 00:22:05,149 --> 00:22:08,501 an actual depiction of an ancient astronaut. 422 00:22:11,068 --> 00:22:12,635 Coming in at number four: 423 00:22:12,766 --> 00:22:14,681 King Pakal's Tomb. 424 00:22:23,342 --> 00:22:26,345 Under a pyramid called the Temple of Inscriptions 425 00:22:26,475 --> 00:22:28,085 at the ruins of Palenque, 426 00:22:28,216 --> 00:22:31,262 archaeologist Alberto Ruz Lhuillier 427 00:22:31,393 --> 00:22:34,178 discovers a mysterious underground stairway 428 00:22:34,309 --> 00:22:36,355 obstructed with large stones. 429 00:22:37,660 --> 00:22:40,794 Over the next three years, Ruz and his team 430 00:22:40,924 --> 00:22:44,972 carefully clear the stairwell consisting of 71 steps. 431 00:22:45,102 --> 00:22:48,497 When the door at the base of the stairwell is finally opened, 432 00:22:48,628 --> 00:22:52,371 they encounter room after room of skeletons and artifacts. 433 00:22:53,633 --> 00:22:55,286 And in the final room, 434 00:22:55,417 --> 00:22:58,551 they find the tomb of King K'inich Janahb Pakal. 435 00:22:59,943 --> 00:23:01,510 The tomb of Pakal is 436 00:23:01,641 --> 00:23:04,165 one of the most amazing pieces 437 00:23:04,295 --> 00:23:06,559 of Maya art that we've ever found. 438 00:23:07,908 --> 00:23:10,824 On the top of the lid is a very elaborate carving 439 00:23:10,954 --> 00:23:14,001 that we believe is a depiction of Pakal 440 00:23:14,131 --> 00:23:17,700 falling into the underworld upon his death. 441 00:23:19,441 --> 00:23:22,357 Although many historians and archaeologists interpret 442 00:23:22,488 --> 00:23:24,359 the carving on Pakal's lid 443 00:23:24,490 --> 00:23:27,536 as the king's descent into the underworld, 444 00:23:27,667 --> 00:23:30,670 ancient astronaut theorists suggest it depicts 445 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,194 a very different type of journey. 446 00:23:34,630 --> 00:23:37,764 The sarcophagus of Lord Pakal forever will remain 447 00:23:37,894 --> 00:23:41,245 one of the smoking guns of the ancient astronaut theory. 448 00:23:41,376 --> 00:23:44,205 He is in a reclining position. 449 00:23:44,335 --> 00:23:47,338 He has a breathing apparatus attached to his nose, 450 00:23:47,469 --> 00:23:50,907 his hands are manipulating some buttons 451 00:23:51,038 --> 00:23:54,171 and his feet are on pedals. 452 00:23:54,302 --> 00:23:57,523 It looks as if Pakal is lifting off 453 00:23:57,653 --> 00:24:01,570 into space inside some type of a rocket vehicle. 454 00:24:04,921 --> 00:24:08,055 As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, 455 00:24:08,185 --> 00:24:11,275 the idea that King Pakal's sarcophagus lid 456 00:24:11,406 --> 00:24:14,975 depicts a journey to space is supported by Maya writing 457 00:24:15,105 --> 00:24:18,021 that surrounds the iconic carving. 458 00:24:18,152 --> 00:24:19,849 Those Maya glyphs say 459 00:24:19,980 --> 00:24:24,114 that this is King Pakal's journey to Xibalba. 460 00:24:24,245 --> 00:24:26,726 Xibalbameans "underworld." 461 00:24:28,031 --> 00:24:31,295 Well, archeologists... about 15 years ago... 462 00:24:31,426 --> 00:24:35,212 revisited the term Xibalba and concluded 463 00:24:35,343 --> 00:24:38,912 that, actually, Xibalbacan also be translated 464 00:24:39,042 --> 00:24:41,392 as "Milky Way." 465 00:24:41,523 --> 00:24:44,004 And all of a sudden, this depiction makes sense, 466 00:24:44,134 --> 00:24:46,267 because what we have here is 467 00:24:46,397 --> 00:24:48,965 a representation of King Pakal 468 00:24:49,096 --> 00:24:51,794 on his journey to the Milky Way. 469 00:24:58,497 --> 00:24:59,657 Located in central Mexico are 470 00:24:59,802 --> 00:25:02,588 the ruins of a mysterious city that is home 471 00:25:02,718 --> 00:25:06,330 to some of the most impressive pyramids ever built. 472 00:25:06,461 --> 00:25:09,943 While the purpose of this complex is still unknown, 473 00:25:10,073 --> 00:25:13,468 archaeologists have found evidence of what appears to be 474 00:25:13,599 --> 00:25:17,211 the makings of an advanced technological device. 475 00:25:19,779 --> 00:25:21,955 Number three on our countdown 476 00:25:22,085 --> 00:25:24,958 of the top ten unexplained technologies: 477 00:25:25,088 --> 00:25:26,829 Teotihuacan. 478 00:25:33,009 --> 00:25:37,753 Located just 35 miles northeast of Mexico City is 479 00:25:37,884 --> 00:25:40,626 one of the most unique ancient sites on Earth. 480 00:25:40,756 --> 00:25:45,108 Called Teotihuacan, this vast metropolis was 481 00:25:45,239 --> 00:25:49,112 discovered by the Aztecs in the 15th century. 482 00:25:49,243 --> 00:25:51,375 According to Aztec writings, 483 00:25:51,506 --> 00:25:56,467 this city was once home to powerful otherworldly beings. 484 00:25:57,947 --> 00:26:00,559 The name Teotihuacan basically means 485 00:26:00,689 --> 00:26:04,040 "birthplace of the gods." 486 00:26:04,171 --> 00:26:07,653 And the Aztecs believed that the gods themselves, 487 00:26:07,783 --> 00:26:10,394 out of Aztec mythology, 488 00:26:10,525 --> 00:26:14,094 were born there at Teotihuacan. 489 00:26:15,356 --> 00:26:17,097 The city of Teotihuacan 490 00:26:17,227 --> 00:26:19,752 covers an area of eight square miles, 491 00:26:19,882 --> 00:26:23,016 which is roughly the same size as ancient Rome. 492 00:26:24,408 --> 00:26:27,542 At its heart is a two-mile-long thoroughfare named 493 00:26:27,673 --> 00:26:31,459 the Avenue of the Dead that connects three massive pyramids. 494 00:26:32,982 --> 00:26:34,505 The Pyramid of the Moon sits 495 00:26:34,636 --> 00:26:39,206 at the very beginning of the Avenue of the Dead. 496 00:26:39,336 --> 00:26:42,775 The Pyramid of the Sun sits about midway along the length 497 00:26:42,905 --> 00:26:44,385 of the Avenue of the Dead. 498 00:26:44,515 --> 00:26:46,866 Those are their two big buildings. 499 00:26:46,996 --> 00:26:49,433 Then they built the Temple of Quetzalcoatl. 500 00:26:50,609 --> 00:26:52,785 The temple of Quetzalcoatl is 501 00:26:52,915 --> 00:26:58,094 the most ornate building in all of Teotihuacan. 502 00:26:58,225 --> 00:27:02,838 Its entire face is covered with mosaic stones 503 00:27:02,969 --> 00:27:06,755 with the face of Quetzalcoatl or the plumed serpent... 504 00:27:08,061 --> 00:27:10,193 with his feathers coming off of his face 505 00:27:10,324 --> 00:27:13,370 and his snake head coming out of the building. 506 00:27:15,198 --> 00:27:17,940 Most mainstream historians believe this city was once 507 00:27:18,071 --> 00:27:20,029 a religious center. 508 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,553 But ancient astronaut theorists suggest 509 00:27:22,684 --> 00:27:24,730 the city's massive buildings once served 510 00:27:24,860 --> 00:27:27,123 a more profound purpose. 511 00:27:27,254 --> 00:27:30,605 And as evidence, they point to an extraordinary discovery 512 00:27:30,736 --> 00:27:33,652 made beneath the Temple of Quetzalcoatl. 513 00:27:34,827 --> 00:27:37,090 In May 2013, 514 00:27:37,220 --> 00:27:39,222 researchers employed a small robot 515 00:27:39,353 --> 00:27:41,877 called Tlaloc II-TC, 516 00:27:42,008 --> 00:27:44,532 to explore a chamber under the pyramid. 517 00:27:45,838 --> 00:27:48,405 Inside, archeologists found 518 00:27:48,536 --> 00:27:51,365 more than a hundred gold-colored metallic spheres. 519 00:27:53,846 --> 00:27:56,283 These balls are probably 520 00:27:56,413 --> 00:27:58,024 anything between an inch 521 00:27:58,154 --> 00:28:00,853 to about five inches in diameter. 522 00:28:02,245 --> 00:28:04,247 Nobody knows the purpose of them, 523 00:28:04,378 --> 00:28:07,424 why they were made, or even who made them, 524 00:28:07,555 --> 00:28:09,470 but the fact that they're there tells us 525 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,385 they are of utmost importance 526 00:28:11,515 --> 00:28:12,715 to what went on at the temple. 527 00:28:13,822 --> 00:28:15,389 Many archeologists believe 528 00:28:15,519 --> 00:28:18,000 the gold spheres are representations 529 00:28:18,131 --> 00:28:21,612 of celestial bodies observed in the night sky. 530 00:28:21,743 --> 00:28:24,964 But ancient astronaut theorists suggest 531 00:28:25,094 --> 00:28:28,010 they could have served a more profound purpose 532 00:28:28,141 --> 00:28:31,666 and point to another discovery made almost a mile away 533 00:28:31,797 --> 00:28:34,887 at the Pyramid of the Sun in 1906. 534 00:28:36,149 --> 00:28:38,412 At Teotihuacan, 535 00:28:38,542 --> 00:28:40,936 huge mica sheets have been found 536 00:28:41,067 --> 00:28:44,984 beneath a layer of stone flooring 537 00:28:45,114 --> 00:28:48,639 that were 90 feet square 538 00:28:48,770 --> 00:28:51,512 and they were placed directly on top of each other, 539 00:28:51,642 --> 00:28:52,905 and yet you couldn't see them. 540 00:28:54,645 --> 00:28:58,911 So they clearly weren't decorative or aesthetic. 541 00:28:59,041 --> 00:29:02,915 They were clearly functional in their use. 542 00:29:03,045 --> 00:29:05,178 So, what were they doing there? 543 00:29:06,832 --> 00:29:10,096 We use mica today in spacefaring technology. 544 00:29:10,226 --> 00:29:12,315 It's a heat shield 545 00:29:12,446 --> 00:29:15,579 for high, very, very high temperatures. 546 00:29:15,710 --> 00:29:17,756 What is it doing at Teotihuacan? 547 00:29:19,105 --> 00:29:21,411 Curiously, mica wasn't 548 00:29:21,542 --> 00:29:25,589 the only unusual substance found within the ancient site. 549 00:29:26,852 --> 00:29:28,636 They actually found mercury 550 00:29:28,767 --> 00:29:30,507 under some of the pyramids as well. 551 00:29:30,638 --> 00:29:31,770 So, what does this all mean? 552 00:29:31,900 --> 00:29:33,728 Well, mercury is used 553 00:29:33,859 --> 00:29:35,599 in different electrical components 554 00:29:35,730 --> 00:29:37,776 and it conducts electricity. 555 00:29:37,906 --> 00:29:39,560 So, can we suggest 556 00:29:39,690 --> 00:29:40,996 that they were using this 557 00:29:41,127 --> 00:29:43,303 for some advanced technological purpose? 558 00:29:44,870 --> 00:29:46,741 Mercury itself is very special. 559 00:29:46,872 --> 00:29:50,005 It's a metal, it's a liquid, it's an electrical conductor. 560 00:29:50,136 --> 00:29:53,269 Mercury can be used for many, many devices, 561 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,141 all of which are high tech. 562 00:29:55,271 --> 00:29:56,664 So you have to wonder 563 00:29:56,795 --> 00:29:59,623 what is going on here at Teotihuacan? 564 00:29:59,754 --> 00:30:02,278 Are these small balls 565 00:30:02,409 --> 00:30:07,153 and the mica and the mercury all working together 566 00:30:07,283 --> 00:30:11,766 to create some kind of electrical device 567 00:30:11,897 --> 00:30:14,029 that's doing something? 568 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,684 That would seem to be the case. 569 00:30:21,384 --> 00:30:24,170 In 2017, Erich von Däniken and I were thrilled 570 00:30:24,300 --> 00:30:27,651 to visit the National History Museum of Transylvania 571 00:30:27,782 --> 00:30:30,393 to examine one of the most exciting artifacts 572 00:30:30,524 --> 00:30:32,004 I've ever seen. 573 00:30:32,134 --> 00:30:35,268 It is a 40,000-year-old aluminum relic 574 00:30:35,398 --> 00:30:38,140 that may provide definitive evidence 575 00:30:38,271 --> 00:30:40,316 of extraterrestrial visitation. 576 00:30:42,797 --> 00:30:45,060 Number two in our countdown 577 00:30:45,191 --> 00:30:48,672 of the top ten unexplained technologies: 578 00:30:48,803 --> 00:30:50,849 The Wedge of Aiud. 579 00:30:59,901 --> 00:31:02,948 Workers digging a trench along the banks of the Mures River 580 00:31:03,078 --> 00:31:06,690 unearth two giant bones, and with them, 581 00:31:06,821 --> 00:31:09,476 a mysterious metal object 582 00:31:09,606 --> 00:31:13,349 buried 35 feet beneath the surface. 583 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,525 Intrigued by what they found, 584 00:31:15,656 --> 00:31:18,746 the crew takes their discovery to a nearby museum. 585 00:31:20,835 --> 00:31:23,446 The object was ten meters in depth, 586 00:31:23,577 --> 00:31:26,188 associated with some bones, 587 00:31:26,319 --> 00:31:30,062 which they later identified as mammoth bones. 588 00:31:30,192 --> 00:31:33,239 Mammoth were extinct 40,000 years ago, 589 00:31:33,369 --> 00:31:36,677 so considering the association with the mammoth bones, 590 00:31:36,807 --> 00:31:40,420 then the object could be older than 40,000 years ago. 591 00:31:42,291 --> 00:31:46,513 This strange object, known today as the wedge of Aiud, 592 00:31:46,643 --> 00:31:49,081 continues to baffle archaeologists 593 00:31:49,211 --> 00:31:51,692 because it is made from a mysterious alloy 594 00:31:51,822 --> 00:31:53,650 and appears to have been created 595 00:31:53,781 --> 00:31:55,783 thousands of years before humans 596 00:31:55,914 --> 00:31:59,091 were able to smelt or fabricate metal. 597 00:31:59,221 --> 00:32:01,341 The wedge of Aiud weighs about five pounds, 598 00:32:01,441 --> 00:32:04,357 it's about nine inches long, 599 00:32:04,487 --> 00:32:09,449 and it is made out of about 89% aluminum. 600 00:32:09,579 --> 00:32:11,712 And this was very curious to researchers 601 00:32:11,842 --> 00:32:16,630 because the wedge of Aiud had to be a very old artifact. 602 00:32:18,327 --> 00:32:20,162 Humans didn't really start working with aluminum 603 00:32:20,242 --> 00:32:22,853 until well into the 1800s, 604 00:32:22,984 --> 00:32:25,378 but when you look at this wedge and you analyze it, 605 00:32:25,508 --> 00:32:27,684 it really has most of the modern properties 606 00:32:27,815 --> 00:32:29,251 we would associate with aluminum. 607 00:32:30,470 --> 00:32:34,213 On January 18, 2017, 608 00:32:34,343 --> 00:32:37,172 at the National History Museum of Transylvania, 609 00:32:37,303 --> 00:32:39,348 ancient astronaut theorists 610 00:32:39,479 --> 00:32:42,134 Giorgio Tsoukalos and Erich von Däniken 611 00:32:42,264 --> 00:32:45,050 were offered a rare opportunity to get a firsthand look 612 00:32:45,180 --> 00:32:47,748 at the wedge of Aiud. 613 00:32:49,706 --> 00:32:52,927 Museum curator Ana Gruia 614 00:32:53,058 --> 00:32:54,755 has taken it out of a storage locker 615 00:32:54,885 --> 00:32:56,198 where it has been deliberately hidden 616 00:32:56,278 --> 00:32:59,542 from the public since the early 1970s. 617 00:32:59,673 --> 00:33:00,674 Okay. 618 00:33:02,067 --> 00:33:03,285 This is exciting. 619 00:33:03,416 --> 00:33:05,809 - Okay. - So, this is it. 620 00:33:05,940 --> 00:33:07,768 - Wow. - Okay. 621 00:33:07,898 --> 00:33:09,995 Here, this is the... where they took the sample out 622 00:33:10,075 --> 00:33:11,997 - and here to make the analysis. - Yeah. 623 00:33:12,077 --> 00:33:14,905 And here, you see two pieces that are broken off, sort of. 624 00:33:15,036 --> 00:33:18,474 So, maybe it was attached or something. 625 00:33:18,605 --> 00:33:20,302 But very strange. 626 00:33:20,433 --> 00:33:22,870 So what does the museum have to say about this? 627 00:33:23,001 --> 00:33:25,699 - This is a very strange piece. - It is, 628 00:33:25,829 --> 00:33:28,223 it is a strange piece for us as well. 629 00:33:28,354 --> 00:33:31,052 We don't know what it was used for, 630 00:33:31,183 --> 00:33:35,752 and we acknowledge these uncertainties about its dating 631 00:33:35,883 --> 00:33:38,277 and its composition as well. 632 00:33:38,407 --> 00:33:40,801 We have a real mystery here. 633 00:33:40,931 --> 00:33:46,154 But you see this patina over this whole object? 634 00:33:46,285 --> 00:33:47,565 And this creates another problem. 635 00:33:47,677 --> 00:33:49,070 Yes. 636 00:33:49,201 --> 00:33:51,899 Because you cannot fake a patina. 637 00:33:53,770 --> 00:33:58,123 The patina is a thin coating of various metal compounds 638 00:33:58,253 --> 00:34:00,386 that forms on the surface of the aluminum 639 00:34:00,516 --> 00:34:03,650 during exposure to atmospheric elements. 640 00:34:03,780 --> 00:34:06,348 It was covered with aluminum oxide, 641 00:34:06,479 --> 00:34:07,958 which they said would've taken 642 00:34:08,089 --> 00:34:10,700 300 or 400 years to have developed. 643 00:34:11,919 --> 00:34:14,313 And that also baffled scientists. 644 00:34:15,966 --> 00:34:17,968 So for what can you use this? 645 00:34:18,099 --> 00:34:20,884 It looks like a hammer or a shovel, but... 646 00:34:21,015 --> 00:34:23,017 Giorgio, what is the word of, 647 00:34:23,148 --> 00:34:24,547 in English... 648 00:34:24,627 --> 00:34:26,107 An excavator tooth. 649 00:34:26,238 --> 00:34:28,327 Well, it-it looks like this. 650 00:34:28,457 --> 00:34:30,031 - It could have been something like it. - Yeah. 651 00:34:30,111 --> 00:34:31,939 But these excavator tooths 652 00:34:32,070 --> 00:34:33,252 are never made out of aluminum. 653 00:34:33,332 --> 00:34:35,421 No, it's too weak. 654 00:34:35,551 --> 00:34:37,299 - Aluminum is too soft. - Yeah. 655 00:34:37,379 --> 00:34:38,953 A lot of people dismiss this as a tooth 656 00:34:39,033 --> 00:34:40,948 on an excavation bucket. 657 00:34:41,079 --> 00:34:42,732 If you ever looked at these excavators, 658 00:34:42,863 --> 00:34:44,524 they usually have a row of teeth in the front, 659 00:34:44,604 --> 00:34:46,352 and that's designed to cut through the material. 660 00:34:46,432 --> 00:34:48,347 I think, first of all, they would've noticed 661 00:34:48,477 --> 00:34:49,783 they were missing one. 662 00:34:49,913 --> 00:34:51,654 Second of all, they don't use aluminum, 663 00:34:51,785 --> 00:34:54,527 and they're usually made out of hardened steel. 664 00:34:56,094 --> 00:34:59,923 If the wedge of Aiud really is over 40,000 years old, 665 00:35:00,054 --> 00:35:04,102 could it be part of an even more advanced technology? 666 00:35:04,232 --> 00:35:09,237 According to ancient astronaut theorists, the answer is yes, 667 00:35:09,368 --> 00:35:11,674 and they suggest it is a fragment 668 00:35:11,805 --> 00:35:14,416 of an extraterrestrial device. 669 00:35:15,983 --> 00:35:19,421 An aeronautical engineer who saw the Aiud wedge, 670 00:35:19,552 --> 00:35:21,945 looked at it and said, "That's a piece of a landing gear 671 00:35:22,076 --> 00:35:25,949 for a vertical take-off and landing aircraft." 672 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,387 Ancient astronaut theorists have also looked 673 00:35:28,517 --> 00:35:31,085 at this wedge and surmised that it's possible 674 00:35:31,216 --> 00:35:33,827 that it's part of a crashed extraterrestrial craft. 675 00:35:36,395 --> 00:35:39,746 Aluminum is often used in spacecraft 676 00:35:39,876 --> 00:35:42,357 because it's a very light material. 677 00:35:42,488 --> 00:35:45,665 So could it be that the object of Aiud 678 00:35:45,795 --> 00:35:48,450 was part of some type of a spacecraft? 679 00:35:48,581 --> 00:35:52,498 Perhaps. It certainly looks 680 00:35:52,628 --> 00:35:56,893 as if it was part of a larger object. 681 00:35:57,024 --> 00:36:00,158 And the question is, well, what object? 682 00:36:00,288 --> 00:36:03,117 And at what time was this? 683 00:36:03,248 --> 00:36:07,034 Perhaps there is an extraterrestrial connection. 684 00:36:09,819 --> 00:36:12,170 There is only one unexplained technology 685 00:36:12,300 --> 00:36:14,084 left on our countdown. 686 00:36:14,215 --> 00:36:17,131 And this one has truly stood the test of time. 687 00:36:22,049 --> 00:36:23,362 We've reached the end of our countdown 688 00:36:23,442 --> 00:36:25,531 of the top ten unexplained technologies, 689 00:36:25,661 --> 00:36:30,449 and this last one is as extraordinary as it is massive. 690 00:36:30,579 --> 00:36:33,930 It's a towering monument of ancient Egypt 691 00:36:34,061 --> 00:36:35,889 built thousands of years ago 692 00:36:36,019 --> 00:36:39,066 that some believe was an energy generator. 693 00:36:40,589 --> 00:36:43,201 Number one on our list: 694 00:36:43,331 --> 00:36:45,377 The Great Pyramid Powerplant. 695 00:36:51,818 --> 00:36:54,864 On the western bank of the Nile River, 696 00:36:54,995 --> 00:36:59,478 stands the most extraordinary example of ancient engineering, 697 00:36:59,608 --> 00:37:01,828 the Great Pyramid. 698 00:37:03,351 --> 00:37:07,877 It towers above the landscape at roughly 450 feet tall 699 00:37:08,008 --> 00:37:12,447 and consists of over two million stone blocks. 700 00:37:12,578 --> 00:37:16,930 The Great Pyramid of Giza is a marvel of architecture. 701 00:37:17,060 --> 00:37:19,628 Every block was five tons, 702 00:37:19,759 --> 00:37:22,152 and there is about two million of them to create 703 00:37:22,283 --> 00:37:25,721 a perfect pyramid shape 704 00:37:25,852 --> 00:37:29,072 that is one of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World. 705 00:37:29,203 --> 00:37:33,555 The most ancient one of them all and-and the only one standing. 706 00:37:36,602 --> 00:37:41,998 Inside the Great Pyramid are a number of fascinating chambers 707 00:37:42,129 --> 00:37:45,524 and corridors, like the Grand Gallery, 708 00:37:45,654 --> 00:37:48,440 this towering stairway 709 00:37:48,570 --> 00:37:52,618 that goes up into the so-called King's Chamber. 710 00:37:57,144 --> 00:38:00,234 Mainstream scholars theorize that the Great Pyramid 711 00:38:00,365 --> 00:38:02,889 was built as a tomb for the Pharaoh Khufu, 712 00:38:03,019 --> 00:38:08,373 who reigned from 2589 to 2566 BC. 713 00:38:09,765 --> 00:38:13,073 But many experts claim this dating is based on 714 00:38:13,203 --> 00:38:16,729 highly questionable data and suggest the origins 715 00:38:16,859 --> 00:38:20,298 of the three pyramids at Giza are far more profound. 716 00:38:22,474 --> 00:38:24,345 Archaeologists and Egyptologists claim 717 00:38:24,476 --> 00:38:26,565 that they were tombs for the pharaohs, 718 00:38:26,695 --> 00:38:29,829 and yet, no Egyptian pharaoh was ever found 719 00:38:29,959 --> 00:38:31,483 in a pyramid in Egypt. 720 00:38:33,398 --> 00:38:36,139 We have found the mummies of many Egyptian pharaohs, 721 00:38:36,270 --> 00:38:39,317 but they're found in vaults deep underground 722 00:38:39,447 --> 00:38:41,928 at the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, 723 00:38:42,058 --> 00:38:44,539 hundreds of miles away from the pyramids. 724 00:38:46,628 --> 00:38:48,681 We're taught in school that the Great Pyramid is a tomb, 725 00:38:48,761 --> 00:38:52,939 but if you look at the complexity of these buildings, 726 00:38:53,069 --> 00:38:56,508 the precision with which they were built, 727 00:38:56,638 --> 00:38:59,859 the features that you see on the inside, 728 00:38:59,989 --> 00:39:05,168 these various shafts and passageways, 729 00:39:05,299 --> 00:39:06,866 for me, it looks like a machine. 730 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,392 The design of the tunnel system and chamber rooms 731 00:39:11,523 --> 00:39:14,961 within the Great Pyramid have convinced engineering expert 732 00:39:15,091 --> 00:39:17,616 Chris Dunn that the massive structure 733 00:39:17,746 --> 00:39:22,055 was actually an advanced technological device. 734 00:39:22,185 --> 00:39:24,623 I propose that the Egyptians built 735 00:39:24,753 --> 00:39:26,842 the Great Pyramid to be a power plant. 736 00:39:28,583 --> 00:39:33,545 The pyramids were actually geomechanical devices. 737 00:39:34,894 --> 00:39:39,028 In other words, they were attached to the Earth. 738 00:39:39,159 --> 00:39:43,859 They were tuned to vibrate with the frequencies of the Earth, 739 00:39:43,990 --> 00:39:46,340 and they converted the energies of the Earth 740 00:39:46,471 --> 00:39:49,038 into electromagnetic energy. 741 00:39:50,388 --> 00:39:53,260 That energy is broadcast from the pyramid, 742 00:39:53,391 --> 00:39:55,305 it's picked up by the transmitters, 743 00:39:55,436 --> 00:39:59,832 which are the obelisks, placed at key sites, 744 00:39:59,962 --> 00:40:03,488 that are able to be tuned to the specific frequencies 745 00:40:03,618 --> 00:40:05,577 coming from the pyramid. 746 00:40:09,450 --> 00:40:12,540 As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, 747 00:40:12,671 --> 00:40:15,587 the mysteries of the Great Pyramid of Egypt 748 00:40:15,717 --> 00:40:18,154 require further study. 749 00:40:18,285 --> 00:40:22,115 And perhaps, someday soon, advances in technology 750 00:40:22,245 --> 00:40:25,074 will shed new light on its true purpose. 751 00:40:26,598 --> 00:40:30,819 Archaeology is rooted in interpretation, 752 00:40:30,950 --> 00:40:32,952 just like the ancient astronaut theory. 753 00:40:34,562 --> 00:40:39,828 Something extraordinary happened right here in ancient Egypt, 754 00:40:39,959 --> 00:40:45,573 perhaps under the tutelage of extraterrestrials, 755 00:40:45,704 --> 00:40:49,229 teachers from another star system. 756 00:40:50,839 --> 00:40:54,669 Was the Great Pyramid of Egypt a massive power plant? 757 00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,715 The answer may never be known, 758 00:40:56,845 --> 00:40:59,021 but one thing is clear, 759 00:40:59,152 --> 00:41:02,634 from fire that can burn underwater, 760 00:41:02,764 --> 00:41:06,376 to a 40,000-year-old aluminum artifact, 761 00:41:06,507 --> 00:41:09,902 and a biblical relic that could topple stone walls 762 00:41:10,032 --> 00:41:11,991 and feed the masses, 763 00:41:12,121 --> 00:41:15,995 the ancient past is filled with evidence 764 00:41:16,125 --> 00:41:18,214 that highly advanced civilizations 765 00:41:18,345 --> 00:41:20,303 were here on Earth. 766 00:41:20,434 --> 00:41:23,176 And perhaps once we solve the riddle 767 00:41:23,306 --> 00:41:25,657 of these unexplained technologies, 768 00:41:25,787 --> 00:41:28,050 we will finally unlock the secret 769 00:41:28,181 --> 00:41:31,010 of our extraterrestrial past. 770 00:41:31,140 --> 00:41:33,500 >>>>oakislandtk<<<<<
