Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,364 --> 00:00:04,366
Mysterious stone heads.
2
00:00:04,367 --> 00:00:06,367
How in the heck did they make these?
3
00:00:06,368 --> 00:00:08,369
Where did they come from?
4
00:00:08,370 --> 00:00:11,240
And how did they move them?
5
00:00:11,241 --> 00:00:14,209
Ancient monuments
containing 100-ton blocks.
6
00:00:14,210 --> 00:00:16,912
Some of the stones are of such magnitude,
7
00:00:16,913 --> 00:00:20,049
modern machinery is incapable
of putting them there.
8
00:00:20,067 --> 00:00:23,169
And solid granite cut
with incredible precision.
9
00:00:23,289 --> 00:00:25,223
We ourselves today
10
00:00:25,254 --> 00:00:27,607
could not replicate what our ancestors
11
00:00:27,632 --> 00:00:31,141
allegedly accomplished with stonemasonry.
12
00:00:31,522 --> 00:00:32,962
Throughout the world,
13
00:00:32,993 --> 00:00:34,451
there are giant structures
14
00:00:34,464 --> 00:00:36,228
that have baffled archaeologists.
15
00:00:36,532 --> 00:00:38,787
Could they really have been constructed
16
00:00:38,818 --> 00:00:40,839
using primitive tools?
17
00:00:41,540 --> 00:00:44,950
Or might they be the
product of alien technology?
18
00:00:45,070 --> 00:00:48,341
Extraterrestrials would not
have left without any proof.
19
00:00:48,366 --> 00:00:52,564
They wanted that in the far
future we start to reflect,
20
00:00:52,627 --> 00:00:54,864
have we been visited by outer space?
21
00:00:54,984 --> 00:00:57,528
Millions of people around the world
22
00:00:57,547 --> 00:01:00,099
believe we have been visited in the past
23
00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:02,321
by extraterrestrial beings.
24
00:01:02,633 --> 00:01:04,836
What if it were true?
25
00:01:05,656 --> 00:01:09,979
Did ancient aliens really
help to shape our history?
26
00:01:10,099 --> 00:01:11,474
And if so,
27
00:01:11,594 --> 00:01:13,439
might they have a connection
28
00:01:13,501 --> 00:01:17,039
to the world's most mysterious structures?
29
00:01:52,318 --> 00:01:54,276
On the northwest coast of France,
30
00:01:54,301 --> 00:01:55,758
just south of Brittany,
31
00:01:55,878 --> 00:01:59,776
lies one of the most important
prehistoric sites in Europe.
32
00:02:01,883 --> 00:02:04,255
At the seaside village of Carnac,
33
00:02:04,375 --> 00:02:06,982
over 3,000 megalithic stones
34
00:02:06,995 --> 00:02:09,829
are placed in rows over two miles long.
35
00:02:11,510 --> 00:02:13,293
The Carnac stones
36
00:02:13,312 --> 00:02:15,820
were hewn from local rock formations
37
00:02:15,858 --> 00:02:18,286
and erected between 4500
38
00:02:18,342 --> 00:02:22,409
to 2500 BC, at the end of the Stone Age.
39
00:02:23,722 --> 00:02:27,551
They are the largest collection
of standing stones in the world.
40
00:02:31,301 --> 00:02:33,604
Archaeologists are baffled
41
00:02:33,660 --> 00:02:36,732
by the many megaliths at Carnac here.
42
00:02:37,295 --> 00:02:41,824
It's clearly a massive
construction project with
43
00:02:42,012 --> 00:02:45,735
blocks of granite weighing 50 to 100,
44
00:02:45,855 --> 00:02:48,876
to even up to 350 tons.
45
00:02:50,496 --> 00:02:54,782
Legends here say that giants built Carnac.
46
00:02:55,138 --> 00:02:56,534
But you have to wonder,
47
00:02:56,546 --> 00:02:58,948
what is the real purpose
48
00:02:59,068 --> 00:03:01,707
of these giant megaliths,
49
00:03:01,901 --> 00:03:05,361
and why would prehistoric people
50
00:03:05,481 --> 00:03:08,615
have moved all of these massive stones
51
00:03:08,659 --> 00:03:12,820
and placed them in the many
alignments here at Carnac?
52
00:03:13,796 --> 00:03:17,556
Thousands of large stones have been
53
00:03:17,676 --> 00:03:20,820
arranged in very interesting patterns.
54
00:03:20,940 --> 00:03:23,329
They're arranged in intersecting lines
55
00:03:23,449 --> 00:03:26,224
that form triangles
56
00:03:26,243 --> 00:03:31,748
that could only be visible
from above the earth.
57
00:03:33,869 --> 00:03:36,778
These arrangements of stones
58
00:03:36,791 --> 00:03:40,463
may have been a way of communicating
59
00:03:40,482 --> 00:03:43,148
with extraterrestrial beings.
60
00:03:44,737 --> 00:03:46,983
The ancient Greek poet Pindar
61
00:03:46,996 --> 00:03:49,943
spoke of a mystical land called Hyperborea,
62
00:03:49,974 --> 00:03:51,482
far to the north,
63
00:03:51,732 --> 00:03:54,841
where the sun shined 24 hours a day.
64
00:03:58,301 --> 00:04:01,780
Legends claim that
Apollo visited Hyperborea,
65
00:04:02,004 --> 00:04:05,445
traveling in his chariot
of fire every 20 years.
66
00:04:06,878 --> 00:04:09,531
Apollo would tell to the Greeks, okay,
67
00:04:09,568 --> 00:04:11,796
I'm gonna go see some other people,
68
00:04:11,839 --> 00:04:13,716
I've got to go and teach them.
69
00:04:13,767 --> 00:04:15,656
And they're like, well,
where are you off to?
70
00:04:15,681 --> 00:04:18,220
And he's like, well, I'm
actually going to a place that's
71
00:04:18,340 --> 00:04:20,756
beyond where the north wind comes.
72
00:04:20,757 --> 00:04:23,402
It's the land of the Hyperboreans.
73
00:04:25,235 --> 00:04:27,568
Although mainstream archaeologists
74
00:04:27,575 --> 00:04:31,804
speculate that the Carnac stones
are most likely tomb markers,
75
00:04:31,873 --> 00:04:35,032
ancient astronaut theorists
believe these stones
76
00:04:35,057 --> 00:04:39,280
are intentionally laid out in
a unique geometric formation.
77
00:04:40,525 --> 00:04:44,246
Many speculations existed since centuries.
78
00:04:44,247 --> 00:04:45,887
And only a few years ago,
79
00:04:45,918 --> 00:04:48,220
in France, they started to photograph
80
00:04:48,258 --> 00:04:51,667
this whole French Brittany by helicopters.
81
00:04:52,088 --> 00:04:54,233
And when they put the pictures together,
82
00:04:54,353 --> 00:04:56,439
all of a sudden someone realized,
83
00:04:56,448 --> 00:04:58,541
hey, this is not coincidence.
84
00:04:58,661 --> 00:05:00,599
The distances of the lines
85
00:05:00,607 --> 00:05:02,372
are always the same...
86
00:05:02,414 --> 00:05:05,695
2,860 meters,
87
00:05:05,947 --> 00:05:10,989
or exactly the half of 2,860 meters.
88
00:05:13,287 --> 00:05:15,915
The angles are always the same.
89
00:05:15,946 --> 00:05:19,030
It's Pythagorean triangles.
90
00:05:19,416 --> 00:05:22,691
It's all a gigantic geometrical pattern
91
00:05:23,004 --> 00:05:26,546
from Stone Age, which is impossible.
92
00:05:26,558 --> 00:05:31,307
Our Stone Age people had no
idea of Pythagoras' triangles.
93
00:05:31,427 --> 00:05:34,692
Pythagoras was about 420 BC.
94
00:05:36,156 --> 00:05:40,134
Even though the geometric
arrangement of the Carnac stones
95
00:05:40,159 --> 00:05:44,177
predates the Pythagorean
theorem by more than 2,000 years,
96
00:05:45,878 --> 00:05:48,243
one question remains.
97
00:05:48,778 --> 00:05:53,192
Why were the stones arranged
in such a precise pattern?
98
00:05:53,755 --> 00:05:56,227
The Carnac Stones are one of the few things
99
00:05:56,246 --> 00:05:59,668
on the planet that can
actually be seen from space.
100
00:05:59,788 --> 00:06:03,416
And they're a perfect marker
for any kind of aerial vehicle
101
00:06:03,466 --> 00:06:06,000
looking down on the earth.
102
00:06:07,433 --> 00:06:11,061
Many of the tourists
who come here to Carnac
103
00:06:11,181 --> 00:06:14,408
claim that they can
actually feel the energy
104
00:06:14,528 --> 00:06:17,937
emanating from these granite megaliths.
105
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,689
How did these ancient people
106
00:06:20,752 --> 00:06:23,217
know about this energy?
107
00:06:23,613 --> 00:06:26,001
And is it possible that they were able to
108
00:06:26,014 --> 00:06:28,516
use this energy to even
109
00:06:28,535 --> 00:06:31,701
move and erect these giant stones?
110
00:06:33,597 --> 00:06:35,205
I am of the opinion
111
00:06:35,236 --> 00:06:38,352
that they were made on purpose.
112
00:06:39,134 --> 00:06:44,346
The extraterrestrials told our
ancestor, do this, and this.
113
00:06:44,571 --> 00:06:48,302
It's not the extraterrestrials
who made the stone lines.
114
00:06:48,303 --> 00:06:50,304
It's the humans who made it,
115
00:06:50,424 --> 00:06:54,963
but by the order of the extraterrestrials.
116
00:06:57,059 --> 00:06:59,793
But were the Carnac stones a signpost
117
00:06:59,812 --> 00:07:02,239
for an ancient astronaut called Apollo
118
00:07:02,308 --> 00:07:06,431
as he flew his spacecraft
high above the land?
119
00:07:09,784 --> 00:07:12,462
If the Greek god Apollo
120
00:07:12,506 --> 00:07:15,352
was really some kind of ancient astronaut,
121
00:07:15,696 --> 00:07:18,613
it's possible that the
stones here at Carnac
122
00:07:18,625 --> 00:07:20,258
were a directional finder
123
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,904
pointing the way to the far north,
124
00:07:22,935 --> 00:07:25,889
to the Hyperborea of the ancient gods.
125
00:07:34,188 --> 00:07:36,966
Over 1,000 miles north of Carnac
126
00:07:37,003 --> 00:07:38,811
lies Scandinavia,
127
00:07:38,830 --> 00:07:42,171
home to an ancient people called the Norse.
128
00:07:43,272 --> 00:07:46,288
The Norse were tribal Germanic people
129
00:07:46,408 --> 00:07:49,811
who lived in what is now
known as Sweden, Denmark,
130
00:07:49,831 --> 00:07:52,676
Iceland and Norway.
131
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,268
Norse legends record the
triumphs of great warriors
132
00:07:57,272 --> 00:07:58,688
with advanced weaponry,
133
00:07:58,738 --> 00:08:01,178
sophisticated combat techniques,
134
00:08:01,203 --> 00:08:03,374
and navigational prowess.
135
00:08:03,713 --> 00:08:05,320
Like the Greeks,
136
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,892
Norse mythology includes
supernatural beings,
137
00:08:09,743 --> 00:08:13,156
other worlds and powerful gods.
138
00:08:16,449 --> 00:08:18,007
But like the Romans,
139
00:08:18,127 --> 00:08:21,366
could the Norse myths
refer not to different gods,
140
00:08:21,429 --> 00:08:25,509
but the same gods as those
depicted by the ancient Greeks?
141
00:08:26,623 --> 00:08:29,019
There are a number of similarities
142
00:08:29,032 --> 00:08:31,897
between Greek mythology
and Norse mythology,
143
00:08:32,017 --> 00:08:35,877
and many of the gods
are, uh, almost identical.
144
00:08:35,878 --> 00:08:38,173
And they do much the same thing.
145
00:08:40,312 --> 00:08:42,802
Descriptions of the Viking god Odin,
146
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,668
the god of war, death and knowledge...
147
00:08:45,788 --> 00:08:49,790
and the Greek god Zeus,
bear striking similarities.
148
00:08:50,510 --> 00:08:52,944
Zeus and Odin
149
00:08:53,064 --> 00:08:55,747
are both sky father gods.
150
00:08:58,581 --> 00:09:01,002
They travel through the skies in chariots
151
00:09:01,020 --> 00:09:05,312
because they are akin to
the solar, uh, divinities.
152
00:09:05,432 --> 00:09:08,215
The precursor to many, uh,
153
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,480
religious beliefs is sun worship.
154
00:09:10,530 --> 00:09:13,263
The ancients knew that
life came from the sun.
155
00:09:13,301 --> 00:09:18,037
So that is a great mystery
and a source of great awe.
156
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:25,276
What you're getting there
is not just some minor deity,
157
00:09:25,289 --> 00:09:29,192
but you really are nailing it
down to one of the chief deities.
158
00:09:29,312 --> 00:09:31,538
This is a very important character.
159
00:09:31,563 --> 00:09:33,722
And so whoever is behind Odin
160
00:09:33,753 --> 00:09:36,788
or Zeus is obviously a person or
161
00:09:36,806 --> 00:09:40,941
a divine entity, which is
shared by these cultures.
162
00:09:40,972 --> 00:09:46,096
And it's clear that whoever inspired
the myth of... of Zeus or Odin
163
00:09:46,127 --> 00:09:50,088
is somehow somebody who had an
extremely important contribution
164
00:09:50,125 --> 00:09:51,887
to make to both civilizations.
165
00:09:52,007 --> 00:09:56,363
So this entity was definitely
known throughout Europe.
166
00:10:00,273 --> 00:10:02,744
Could the Norse and Greek gods
167
00:10:02,864 --> 00:10:06,442
really have been the same
extraterrestrial beings?
168
00:10:08,056 --> 00:10:11,091
Did they use the
megalithic stones at Carnac
169
00:10:11,285 --> 00:10:13,149
as a directional marker
170
00:10:13,206 --> 00:10:15,790
that could be seen from
high above the earth?
171
00:10:16,284 --> 00:10:17,886
And if so,
172
00:10:18,006 --> 00:10:19,957
is it possible that this site...
173
00:10:20,019 --> 00:10:23,123
and other megalithic
structures around the world...
174
00:10:23,454 --> 00:10:27,591
really were built with the
help of otherworldly technology?
175
00:10:28,673 --> 00:10:31,722
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,
176
00:10:32,210 --> 00:10:34,575
and claim further proof can be found
177
00:10:34,625 --> 00:10:36,765
by examining megalithic rocks
178
00:10:36,815 --> 00:10:40,476
in Bolivia cut with incredible precision.
179
00:10:46,692 --> 00:10:49,013
Palm Springs, California.
180
00:10:49,515 --> 00:10:52,811
Master stonemason and
sculptor Roger Hopkins
181
00:10:52,931 --> 00:10:58,049
uses a variety of advanced tools
to cut and shape hard stones.
182
00:11:00,064 --> 00:11:01,634
Powered implements
183
00:11:01,653 --> 00:11:04,687
such as diamond-tipped wires and polishers
184
00:11:04,807 --> 00:11:06,989
enable him to fashion works of art
185
00:11:07,027 --> 00:11:10,969
out of huge granite blocks
obtained from nearby quarries.
186
00:11:14,754 --> 00:11:17,125
Yet even with these high-tech tools,
187
00:11:17,151 --> 00:11:18,916
Hopkins cannot replicate
188
00:11:18,941 --> 00:11:22,895
what ancient civilizations
accomplished thousands of years ago.
189
00:11:26,367 --> 00:11:28,775
Could these advanced engineering methods
190
00:11:28,825 --> 00:11:30,821
be the smoking gun that proves
191
00:11:30,858 --> 00:11:33,130
humans had help from alien beings?
192
00:11:36,233 --> 00:11:39,655
The precision on some of the
work that I've seen is just...
193
00:11:39,705 --> 00:11:41,069
incredible.
194
00:11:41,369 --> 00:11:43,691
It's possible to do by hand,
195
00:11:43,811 --> 00:11:48,302
but it'd take an incredible amount of time.
196
00:11:48,422 --> 00:11:51,853
Plus, you have to have years of experience
197
00:11:51,872 --> 00:11:53,561
to be able to pull it off.
198
00:11:54,118 --> 00:11:58,115
In my opinion, the most tangible
pieces of evidence that we have
199
00:11:58,322 --> 00:12:01,850
regarding possible
extraterrestrial technology
200
00:12:02,156 --> 00:12:07,587
is when we look at the ancient
stonecutting techniques.
201
00:12:07,993 --> 00:12:10,590
Because, in some instances,
202
00:12:10,634 --> 00:12:14,826
we ourselves today could not replicate
203
00:12:14,946 --> 00:12:20,113
what our ancestors allegedly
accomplished with stonemasonry.
204
00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:28,930
Puma Punku
205
00:12:28,974 --> 00:12:33,516
is a large temple complex located
on a high plateau in Bolivia.
206
00:12:38,757 --> 00:12:40,587
Mainstream archaeologists
207
00:12:40,606 --> 00:12:44,272
date the site from approximately 200 BC.
208
00:12:45,267 --> 00:12:46,765
The people who lived here
209
00:12:46,766 --> 00:12:49,628
had neither a written
language nor the wheel,
210
00:12:49,748 --> 00:12:54,076
yet somehow they built one of the
world's most complex structures.
211
00:12:57,874 --> 00:13:00,884
Ancient alien theorists view Puma Punku
212
00:13:00,897 --> 00:13:04,488
as clear proof of
extraterrestrial influence.
213
00:13:06,314 --> 00:13:09,693
The ruins we find at Puma Punku
214
00:13:09,711 --> 00:13:12,258
are simply extraordinary.
215
00:13:12,724 --> 00:13:15,755
Puma Punku defies logic.
216
00:13:20,689 --> 00:13:23,925
The interest of Puma Punku is not so much
217
00:13:23,950 --> 00:13:26,740
that the individual stones
sorted together perfectly
218
00:13:26,777 --> 00:13:29,055
but the fact that the stones, as such,
219
00:13:29,074 --> 00:13:31,101
are of such tremendous design
220
00:13:31,107 --> 00:13:33,178
that it requires concepts of mathematics
221
00:13:33,209 --> 00:13:36,561
which are far beyond anything
we are actually using right now.
222
00:13:36,596 --> 00:13:38,028
Yet somehow in the past,
223
00:13:38,078 --> 00:13:41,219
somebody has made that
for a specific purpose,
224
00:13:41,288 --> 00:13:43,340
and in a way which even
225
00:13:43,365 --> 00:13:47,262
computer programs today would
kind of go, how is this possible?
226
00:13:55,575 --> 00:13:58,747
In the highlands of Bolivia, Puma Punku.
227
00:13:58,971 --> 00:14:01,612
Some of these blocks are
228
00:14:01,668 --> 00:14:04,622
over 40 to 50 tons each.
229
00:14:04,742 --> 00:14:07,137
What can you tell us about this?
230
00:14:07,199 --> 00:14:08,395
Boy, they...
231
00:14:08,445 --> 00:14:12,393
they had their, uh, stonecutting abilities,
232
00:14:12,513 --> 00:14:15,408
you know, pretty well
fine-tuned for 5,000 years old.
233
00:14:15,654 --> 00:14:17,016
I mean, uh,
234
00:14:17,136 --> 00:14:18,687
it's almost unbelievable.
235
00:14:19,431 --> 00:14:23,934
But the... these cutting planes that
they have on here are very impressive.
236
00:14:24,153 --> 00:14:27,118
And some of the incise cuts.
237
00:14:28,845 --> 00:14:30,450
See like in... in here,
238
00:14:30,453 --> 00:14:33,256
all these interior cuts, very hard to do.
239
00:14:33,376 --> 00:14:35,355
I mean, it would be difficult for us...
240
00:14:35,381 --> 00:14:38,960
with the... our equipment...
to get that kind of precision.
241
00:14:42,834 --> 00:14:44,876
- Let's talk a little bit...
- God.
242
00:14:44,901 --> 00:14:46,599
- about inside boxes.
- Ooh,
243
00:14:46,719 --> 00:14:49,834
I was afraid you were gonna
pull something like this on me.
244
00:14:49,954 --> 00:14:52,891
That is a hell of a piece of work.
245
00:14:53,563 --> 00:14:57,478
I mean, if we were to do
something like that today,
246
00:14:57,503 --> 00:14:59,646
we'd use what they have these, uh,
247
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,797
computer-driven CNC machines which are...
248
00:15:02,814 --> 00:15:05,041
have diamond tips and, uh,
249
00:15:05,058 --> 00:15:08,839
you have a template that, you
know, the computer follows.
250
00:15:08,864 --> 00:15:12,318
And even then, it may
not come out as perfect.
251
00:15:13,141 --> 00:15:15,393
Because, even though you can tell that
252
00:15:15,418 --> 00:15:17,629
- obviously, this piece broke
off... - HOPKINS: Mm-hmm.
253
00:15:17,749 --> 00:15:20,789
nowhere in here can you
see any imperfection.
254
00:15:20,909 --> 00:15:23,864
It's like... and by the
way, when you're there,
255
00:15:23,984 --> 00:15:27,453
if you go with your finger
over these edges and you
256
00:15:27,573 --> 00:15:31,108
put a little pressure on your
fingertip, you can cut yourself.
257
00:15:31,130 --> 00:15:33,532
This is how sharp the edges are.
258
00:15:38,412 --> 00:15:42,638
But where could the ancient peoples
have developed such technology?
259
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,544
Is it really possible that
extraterrestrial visitors
260
00:15:46,545 --> 00:15:50,095
provided different
construction methods and tools?
261
00:15:50,215 --> 00:15:53,143
When I saw these blocks,
262
00:15:53,263 --> 00:15:56,235
I didn't really think that they were cut.
263
00:15:56,955 --> 00:15:59,967
The first thing really that I thought of
264
00:16:00,017 --> 00:16:03,849
was this appears very similar
to Frank Lloyd Wright's
265
00:16:03,882 --> 00:16:06,479
textile block system of construction
266
00:16:06,512 --> 00:16:11,614
which he used in his California
houses in the early 1920s.
267
00:16:12,488 --> 00:16:14,093
Now, what he did was
268
00:16:14,623 --> 00:16:18,135
he took concrete, poured it into molds.
269
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,673
There actually are
270
00:16:21,793 --> 00:16:24,589
ancient Incan legends
271
00:16:24,639 --> 00:16:31,160
that suggest that they had the
capability of softening the stone.
272
00:16:31,454 --> 00:16:34,092
At Sacsayhuam�n, for example,
273
00:16:34,212 --> 00:16:38,899
we find these gigantic stone
blocks, gigantic stone walls
274
00:16:39,019 --> 00:16:42,008
where it looks as if those stones
275
00:16:42,025 --> 00:16:45,395
were molten, put into place,
276
00:16:45,515 --> 00:16:47,975
and then the stone hardened again.
277
00:16:49,748 --> 00:16:54,000
Is it possible that the
precision-cut stones at Puma Punku
278
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:58,538
are really the product of
extraterrestrial technology?
279
00:16:58,751 --> 00:17:01,076
Perhaps further clues can be found
280
00:17:01,092 --> 00:17:03,479
halfway around the world,
281
00:17:03,975 --> 00:17:09,941
with an ancient civilization that
was found buried beneath the earth.
282
00:17:14,239 --> 00:17:20,046
Located more than 500 miles away
from the crowded streets of Istanbul
283
00:17:20,166 --> 00:17:23,971
is Sanliurfa, in southeastern Turkey.
284
00:17:26,122 --> 00:17:31,365
There, in 1994, on a dusty hilltop,
285
00:17:31,485 --> 00:17:37,021
a local shepherd noticed the tip of
a stone sticking out of his field.
286
00:17:37,785 --> 00:17:39,533
He began to dig,
287
00:17:39,653 --> 00:17:43,415
eventually unearthing a 19-foot pillar.
288
00:17:44,104 --> 00:17:46,735
Its edges were precise,
289
00:17:46,855 --> 00:17:48,743
and rising from its center
290
00:17:48,785 --> 00:17:52,003
was a relief carving of a strange animal.
291
00:17:52,457 --> 00:17:54,575
Upon closer examination,
292
00:17:54,695 --> 00:17:57,508
it appeared that the finely chiseled stone
293
00:17:57,533 --> 00:18:00,567
had been fashioned by talented stonemasons,
294
00:18:00,601 --> 00:18:03,197
working with advanced tools.
295
00:18:03,609 --> 00:18:06,987
When word of the discovery
reached the scientific community,
296
00:18:07,107 --> 00:18:09,726
one fact became obvious:
297
00:18:09,928 --> 00:18:12,736
a Kurdish shepherd had stumbled upon
298
00:18:12,736 --> 00:18:16,820
what is perhaps the most
astonishing archaeological discovery
299
00:18:16,870 --> 00:18:22,114
in modern times... a site
known as Gobekli Tepe.
300
00:18:24,778 --> 00:18:26,383
For 13 years,
301
00:18:26,408 --> 00:18:28,342
a German archaeology team
302
00:18:28,343 --> 00:18:33,140
has been meticulously going into a hill.
303
00:18:33,669 --> 00:18:36,668
And they have been doing carbon dating,
304
00:18:36,788 --> 00:18:38,492
as deep as they go.
305
00:18:40,593 --> 00:18:45,618
It has taken them 13 years
to uncover only five percent
306
00:18:45,660 --> 00:18:48,735
of a gigantic civilization.
307
00:18:49,777 --> 00:18:52,163
They know what's under the ground.
308
00:18:52,693 --> 00:18:55,229
Circles upon circles
309
00:18:55,254 --> 00:18:58,439
upon circles, perfect circles in stone.
310
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,826
And rising up out of those stone circles
311
00:19:01,946 --> 00:19:05,397
are huge sculpted columns...
312
00:19:05,439 --> 00:19:10,866
19 feet high, 15 tons per column.
313
00:19:10,986 --> 00:19:13,926
Test results have supported the idea
314
00:19:13,968 --> 00:19:18,123
that Gobekli Tepe is
nearly 12,000 years old,
315
00:19:18,125 --> 00:19:22,944
almost 7,000 years older than
Mesopotamia's Fertile Crescent,
316
00:19:23,064 --> 00:19:26,695
long heralded as the
cradle of civilization.
317
00:19:26,815 --> 00:19:29,002
In Gobekli Tepe,
318
00:19:29,003 --> 00:19:32,403
the oldest advanced site now on our planet.
319
00:19:32,406 --> 00:19:34,325
We know of no other site
320
00:19:34,445 --> 00:19:36,090
that is this advanced.
321
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,711
And it has now doubled
the history of humanity.
322
00:19:43,115 --> 00:19:46,098
And right there is this gigantic site
323
00:19:46,121 --> 00:19:48,703
with huge megalithic circular structures.
324
00:19:48,703 --> 00:19:51,081
It just stands there, a mystery,
325
00:19:51,125 --> 00:19:54,123
asking us to go figure, how was this done?
326
00:19:54,162 --> 00:19:55,686
What's the background to this?
327
00:19:56,165 --> 00:19:58,233
We don't know who made them.
328
00:19:58,250 --> 00:20:00,863
They just come out of the
darkness of the last ice age...
329
00:20:00,888 --> 00:20:04,510
where we know nothing... and
enter the stage of history
330
00:20:04,527 --> 00:20:06,157
already fully formed.
331
00:20:07,972 --> 00:20:10,837
And to my mind, this is indicative of
332
00:20:10,846 --> 00:20:13,913
a major forgotten episode in human history.
333
00:20:14,548 --> 00:20:16,182
Curiously,
334
00:20:16,302 --> 00:20:18,652
after 13 years of digging,
335
00:20:18,694 --> 00:20:22,022
archaeologists investigating
the ancient site
336
00:20:22,142 --> 00:20:25,526
have failed to recover a
single stonecutting tool.
337
00:20:25,646 --> 00:20:29,063
Nor have they found any
agricultural implements.
338
00:20:29,424 --> 00:20:32,726
How in the world can you contemplate
339
00:20:33,012 --> 00:20:37,776
19-foot-tall, perfectly
sculpted columns
340
00:20:37,896 --> 00:20:40,817
that are 11,000 to 12,000 years old,
341
00:20:40,843 --> 00:20:42,641
and no tools.
342
00:20:43,077 --> 00:20:45,507
The mystery of Gobekli Tepe
343
00:20:45,627 --> 00:20:47,994
is further compounded by the ancient stone
344
00:20:48,019 --> 00:20:50,481
carvings found throughout the site.
345
00:20:51,532 --> 00:20:55,103
They depict creatures like wild boars
346
00:20:55,223 --> 00:20:57,187
and geese.
347
00:21:00,607 --> 00:21:03,599
We see various types of creatures...
348
00:21:03,607 --> 00:21:06,674
different animals, birds,
349
00:21:06,716 --> 00:21:11,011
insects and even abstract human forms
350
00:21:11,095 --> 00:21:13,237
that seem to come together
351
00:21:13,271 --> 00:21:16,935
to create this very weird menagerie
352
00:21:16,985 --> 00:21:20,826
which has totally
baffled the archaeologists
353
00:21:20,868 --> 00:21:23,095
who have uncovered this site.
354
00:21:23,351 --> 00:21:26,480
Now, what they represent
is a matter of speculation,
355
00:21:26,505 --> 00:21:28,244
but it's my intuition
356
00:21:28,278 --> 00:21:33,513
that they may even
represent a... ark in stone.
357
00:21:34,287 --> 00:21:38,312
Located less than 350
miles from Mount Ararat...
358
00:21:38,432 --> 00:21:43,527
the site many biblical scholars believe
to be the resting place of Noah's Ark...
359
00:21:43,578 --> 00:21:46,275
the animal carvings of Gobekli Tepe
360
00:21:46,317 --> 00:21:49,132
suggest a time in the region's history
361
00:21:49,157 --> 00:21:51,678
when the indigenous animal population
362
00:21:51,728 --> 00:21:54,804
may have been of a
totally different origin.
363
00:21:56,274 --> 00:22:00,190
But do these carvings actually
provide historical proof
364
00:22:00,232 --> 00:22:03,543
of the great flood that
was described in the Bible?
365
00:22:03,988 --> 00:22:05,971
Archaeologists are aware
366
00:22:05,996 --> 00:22:10,188
that there are more than 2,000
myths of a... a great flood,
367
00:22:10,188 --> 00:22:12,936
which destroyed an earlier civilization.
368
00:22:13,314 --> 00:22:15,490
Some researchers theorize
369
00:22:15,516 --> 00:22:18,186
that the events of a cataclysmic flood
370
00:22:18,221 --> 00:22:21,465
and a story similar to
that told of Noah's Ark
371
00:22:21,717 --> 00:22:25,381
was recorded on the stone
pillars of Gobekli Tepe.
372
00:22:25,574 --> 00:22:26,818
If true,
373
00:22:26,938 --> 00:22:29,314
that would push the date of the great flood
374
00:22:29,348 --> 00:22:31,970
back to the end of the last ice age,
375
00:22:32,012 --> 00:22:34,701
far earlier than the biblical period.
376
00:22:34,735 --> 00:22:38,348
There is evidence that this may have ended
377
00:22:38,468 --> 00:22:40,298
quite catastrophically.
378
00:22:40,340 --> 00:22:42,374
There was a lot of things happening,
379
00:22:42,382 --> 00:22:47,273
um, a lot of migrations, possibly
waters rising up very quickly,
380
00:22:47,273 --> 00:22:51,054
uh, a lot of rapid changes in lifestyles.
381
00:22:53,298 --> 00:22:57,920
But another perhaps even more
profound question remains.
382
00:22:58,180 --> 00:23:00,667
Who built Gobekli Tepe?
383
00:23:00,961 --> 00:23:02,682
For what purpose?
384
00:23:02,802 --> 00:23:05,415
And how did such an ancient site
385
00:23:05,467 --> 00:23:07,845
remain in nearly pristine condition
386
00:23:07,965 --> 00:23:10,181
for more than 10,000 years?
387
00:23:10,301 --> 00:23:13,499
In the case of Gobekli
Tepe, we find that the site
388
00:23:13,524 --> 00:23:16,642
was carefully placed underneath sand.
389
00:23:16,762 --> 00:23:18,836
This site was buried.
390
00:23:20,139 --> 00:23:22,214
It appears as if somehow
391
00:23:22,222 --> 00:23:25,769
the usage of Gobekli
Tepe was no longer there
392
00:23:25,769 --> 00:23:28,894
and that people moved on
but had such a reverence
393
00:23:28,894 --> 00:23:32,004
to this important site
that rather than destroy it,
394
00:23:32,038 --> 00:23:34,847
they put it to peace by burying it.
395
00:23:35,559 --> 00:23:38,979
Is it possible that the
people at Gobekli Tepe
396
00:23:39,029 --> 00:23:41,256
had such reverence for the site
397
00:23:41,256 --> 00:23:45,223
because it really was built with
the help of alien technology?
398
00:23:45,259 --> 00:23:48,315
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes
399
00:23:48,435 --> 00:23:51,500
and claim further evidence
that extraterrestrials
400
00:23:51,531 --> 00:23:55,744
were behind the construction of the
world's most mysterious structures
401
00:23:55,770 --> 00:23:58,047
can be found in Lebanon,
402
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:02,803
by examining a site that
dates back nearly 9,000 years.
403
00:24:06,515 --> 00:24:08,438
Eastern Lebanon,
404
00:24:08,774 --> 00:24:10,765
the Bekaa Valley.
405
00:24:11,034 --> 00:24:14,043
Here at this archaeological site
406
00:24:14,068 --> 00:24:16,757
stand the ruins of Heliopolis,
407
00:24:16,791 --> 00:24:18,961
built in the fourth century BC.
408
00:24:18,962 --> 00:24:22,447
by Alexander the Great to honor Zeus.
409
00:24:22,567 --> 00:24:24,934
But beneath the Corinthian columns
410
00:24:24,951 --> 00:24:28,304
and remnants of both Greek
and Roman architecture
411
00:24:28,424 --> 00:24:32,573
lie the ruins of a site
that is much, much older.
412
00:24:32,693 --> 00:24:34,849
According to archaeologists,
413
00:24:34,858 --> 00:24:38,765
it dates back nearly 9,000 years:
414
00:24:39,900 --> 00:24:42,892
the ancient city of Baalbek,
415
00:24:43,673 --> 00:24:47,749
named after the early
Canaanite deity, Baal.
416
00:24:48,026 --> 00:24:52,219
Baal is the god of life, the god
of the sky, the god of the sun.
417
00:24:52,227 --> 00:24:55,185
He was the god that was venerated
418
00:24:55,194 --> 00:25:00,035
on the site of Baalbek during the
Canaanite and the Phoenician times.
419
00:25:01,732 --> 00:25:05,413
And so, because it was
already sacred to the god Baal,
420
00:25:05,533 --> 00:25:09,144
then later the Greeks and
the Romans then would build
421
00:25:09,186 --> 00:25:11,875
temples on this very same spot.
422
00:25:14,417 --> 00:25:16,498
Archaeological surveys
423
00:25:16,540 --> 00:25:19,523
have revealed that the
enormous stone foundation
424
00:25:19,540 --> 00:25:21,893
that lies at the base of the site
425
00:25:21,902 --> 00:25:25,187
dates back tens of thousands of years.
426
00:25:26,061 --> 00:25:29,549
Baalbek, as we know from
the archaeological evidence,
427
00:25:29,574 --> 00:25:32,032
must have existed during
the Neolithic Period,
428
00:25:32,049 --> 00:25:37,159
between 6000 to 8000 years
or even 9000 years BC.
429
00:25:39,294 --> 00:25:41,202
But even more significant
430
00:25:41,227 --> 00:25:43,606
to ancient astronaut theorists
431
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,387
is their belief that the
colossal stone platform
432
00:25:47,507 --> 00:25:52,328
may once have served as a
landing pad for space travelers.
433
00:25:56,176 --> 00:25:58,420
We don't know why Baalbek
434
00:25:58,462 --> 00:26:01,100
was chosen as this specific site.
435
00:26:01,133 --> 00:26:05,839
Uh, it may well be some
kind of special power place.
436
00:26:11,340 --> 00:26:13,623
But what was originally there
437
00:26:13,743 --> 00:26:15,978
before the Roman temple
438
00:26:16,012 --> 00:26:23,011
was this spaceport platform
that was apparently used for
439
00:26:23,348 --> 00:26:26,886
extraterrestrials coming
and going on planet Earth.
440
00:26:28,197 --> 00:26:29,826
As evidence,
441
00:26:29,860 --> 00:26:33,389
researchers point to the
gigantic megalithic stones
442
00:26:33,415 --> 00:26:35,902
incorporated into the foundation,
443
00:26:36,022 --> 00:26:40,322
each weighing between 800 to 1,200 tons
444
00:26:41,437 --> 00:26:44,145
and perfectly fitted together.
445
00:26:46,042 --> 00:26:48,877
This is the real mystery of Baalbek,
446
00:26:48,877 --> 00:26:50,952
how these stones came to be there,
447
00:26:50,952 --> 00:26:53,221
why they were placed there and specifically
448
00:26:53,255 --> 00:26:55,087
how they were transported into place,
449
00:26:55,112 --> 00:26:57,607
because some of the stones
are of such magnitude
450
00:26:57,632 --> 00:27:00,750
that modern machinery is
incapable of putting them there,
451
00:27:00,784 --> 00:27:03,633
but somehow our ancestors
were able to do this.
452
00:27:04,935 --> 00:27:08,708
Some have suggested that this stone alone
453
00:27:08,828 --> 00:27:14,220
weighs in excess of 1,200 tons.
454
00:27:14,340 --> 00:27:16,624
How was it moved there?
455
00:27:16,674 --> 00:27:18,893
Because obviously it's situated
456
00:27:19,086 --> 00:27:21,363
on top of these stone rows
457
00:27:21,380 --> 00:27:22,943
that we can find down here,
458
00:27:23,063 --> 00:27:25,759
which means that this stone
459
00:27:25,792 --> 00:27:32,414
had to be lifted and then set
on top of these stones down here.
460
00:27:35,197 --> 00:27:38,382
And because these stones were gigantic,
461
00:27:38,398 --> 00:27:41,424
ancient people assumed t
462
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:47,256
hat extraterrestrial or unknown
forces brought them to the site itself.
463
00:27:50,976 --> 00:27:55,152
It is one of the oldest, oldest
megalithic sites on the planet,
464
00:27:55,177 --> 00:27:57,760
and it has these huge stones laid out
465
00:27:57,766 --> 00:28:00,766
in a precise geometrical shape
466
00:28:01,318 --> 00:28:04,875
at a time when the prehistoric people
467
00:28:04,887 --> 00:28:05,942
who would have lived there,
468
00:28:05,967 --> 00:28:08,337
who would have gone to the
Bekaa Valley in Lebanon,
469
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:13,476
would have no concept of how
to move stones of that nature.
470
00:28:15,871 --> 00:28:18,199
But if the moving, hoisting
471
00:28:18,216 --> 00:28:20,611
and setting of such massive stones
472
00:28:20,661 --> 00:28:22,502
was so incredibly difficult,
473
00:28:22,622 --> 00:28:26,149
then who or what placed them there?
474
00:28:26,542 --> 00:28:28,619
And perhaps more importantly:
475
00:28:28,644 --> 00:28:29,871
Why?
476
00:28:29,913 --> 00:28:32,846
We know that the ancients
always went to power places,
477
00:28:32,863 --> 00:28:35,308
and Baalbek clearly is one of them.
478
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,639
It is a place where the
gods were worshipped,
479
00:28:37,664 --> 00:28:39,580
where the gods were said to be present.
480
00:28:39,597 --> 00:28:41,371
And so when it comes to Baalbek,
481
00:28:41,378 --> 00:28:43,622
this platform was built there for a reason.
482
00:28:43,742 --> 00:28:45,395
For what purpose it was used
483
00:28:45,437 --> 00:28:48,437
is a question we can't
answer at this moment in time.
484
00:28:48,454 --> 00:28:49,849
But what we do know
485
00:28:49,866 --> 00:28:51,639
is that whatever was happening there
486
00:28:51,672 --> 00:28:53,714
had a great religious significance to them
487
00:28:53,723 --> 00:28:56,059
and was linked with worshipping deities,
488
00:28:56,563 --> 00:29:00,034
deities which clearly are
of an otherworldly origin.
489
00:29:02,279 --> 00:29:06,286
Is it possible, as ancient
astronaut theorists believe,
490
00:29:06,589 --> 00:29:12,749
that Baalbek had been considered a sacred
place for tens of thousands of years
491
00:29:12,869 --> 00:29:15,824
because it was where
extraterrestrial beings
492
00:29:15,866 --> 00:29:18,942
first arrived on Earth?
493
00:29:19,689 --> 00:29:22,144
Perhaps the answer can be found
494
00:29:22,193 --> 00:29:27,193
by examining other megalithic
stones on Easter Island.
495
00:29:30,033 --> 00:29:32,529
The South Pacific Ocean.
496
00:29:34,546 --> 00:29:37,958
2,300 miles west of South America,
497
00:29:38,078 --> 00:29:41,092
in one of the most remote places on Earth,
498
00:29:41,212 --> 00:29:45,739
giant stone figures stand
with their backs to the sea.
499
00:29:47,764 --> 00:29:50,679
Called moai by the native inhabitants,
500
00:29:50,799 --> 00:29:54,091
they are the silent
sentinels of Easter Island.
501
00:29:55,671 --> 00:29:58,167
The moais are scattered
throughout the island,
502
00:29:58,175 --> 00:30:01,739
and they're positioned on top of...
of platforms, for the most part.
503
00:30:01,772 --> 00:30:03,369
A moai is a...
504
00:30:03,402 --> 00:30:07,469
is a stone sculpture
of a deceased ancestor.
505
00:30:07,589 --> 00:30:09,604
They were once living individuals
506
00:30:09,612 --> 00:30:12,552
who ruled the society or led the society.
507
00:30:12,553 --> 00:30:15,579
They were chiefs, and
then, upon their death,
508
00:30:15,621 --> 00:30:19,671
we believe that they've
become represented in stone.
509
00:30:21,696 --> 00:30:27,008
Nearly 900 moai were carved
between the 12th and 18th centuries.
510
00:30:27,431 --> 00:30:30,672
Hewn with stone tools from volcanic rock,
511
00:30:30,792 --> 00:30:34,950
the tallest stands a towering 33 feet high
512
00:30:35,168 --> 00:30:39,387
and weighs a staggering 75 tons.
513
00:30:40,513 --> 00:30:44,530
They were probably even more
unique... looking, uh, in the past.
514
00:30:44,650 --> 00:30:45,976
They may have been painted.
515
00:30:45,985 --> 00:30:50,663
And they also had large white
coral eyes with obsidian pupils.
516
00:30:50,889 --> 00:30:54,099
So it's a very effective way
of kind of telling people,
517
00:30:54,150 --> 00:30:56,452
not verbally but symbolically,
518
00:30:56,486 --> 00:30:59,544
that someone's watching you
and you should toe the line.
519
00:30:59,570 --> 00:31:02,797
You should do what you're supposed to do.
520
00:31:03,965 --> 00:31:06,183
The people who created the moai
521
00:31:06,225 --> 00:31:08,663
called themselves the Rapa Nui,
522
00:31:08,783 --> 00:31:10,671
and mainstream historians
523
00:31:10,713 --> 00:31:13,057
believe their Polynesian ancestors
524
00:31:13,074 --> 00:31:15,301
came to the island in canoes
525
00:31:15,326 --> 00:31:17,696
from across the vast Pacific Ocean
526
00:31:17,746 --> 00:31:21,082
between 700 and 1100 A.D.
527
00:31:22,220 --> 00:31:24,302
But over several centuries,
528
00:31:24,309 --> 00:31:26,891
for reasons that are still unclear,
529
00:31:26,892 --> 00:31:29,308
what was once an island paradise
530
00:31:29,359 --> 00:31:31,661
withered into a treeless desert
531
00:31:31,781 --> 00:31:35,871
stalked by famine, violence and, some say,
532
00:31:35,904 --> 00:31:37,392
cannibalism.
533
00:31:39,072 --> 00:31:42,880
When the first Europeans arrived in 1722,
534
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,813
the Rapa Nui culture had
already been nearly wiped out,
535
00:31:47,552 --> 00:31:51,006
and few could imagine
how such primitive people
536
00:31:51,048 --> 00:31:53,216
could have created the moai.
537
00:31:54,578 --> 00:31:56,627
How in the heck did they make these?
538
00:31:56,747 --> 00:31:58,703
Where did they come from?
539
00:31:58,823 --> 00:32:00,838
And how did they move them?
540
00:32:00,958 --> 00:32:03,888
Nobody has the answer.
541
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,669
Modern scientists have tried
542
00:32:07,719 --> 00:32:09,686
and so far have failed
543
00:32:09,806 --> 00:32:13,283
to duplicate the feats
of the ancient Rapa Nui.
544
00:32:14,114 --> 00:32:16,241
In 1987,
545
00:32:16,361 --> 00:32:18,770
anthropologist Charles Love
546
00:32:18,786 --> 00:32:22,123
used rollers to move
a nine-ton moai replica
547
00:32:22,123 --> 00:32:24,509
at Western Wyoming Community College.
548
00:32:24,526 --> 00:32:26,685
Ready? On three.
549
00:32:26,805 --> 00:32:30,115
One, two, three.
550
00:32:30,235 --> 00:32:31,869
Come on. Come on.
551
00:32:31,989 --> 00:32:33,729
Good!
552
00:32:33,955 --> 00:32:35,854
Thank you. Whoa.
553
00:32:36,114 --> 00:32:38,937
Only able to budge it about half an inch.
554
00:32:39,366 --> 00:32:43,425
Other researchers have tried
pulling moai with sleds.
555
00:32:44,030 --> 00:32:48,253
But there is a unique problem
with the idea of moving moai
556
00:32:48,299 --> 00:32:50,500
with sleds or rollers.
557
00:32:51,341 --> 00:32:53,022
When you go to Easter Island,
558
00:32:53,039 --> 00:32:56,836
you don't get the impression they
had enough wood to have rollers.
559
00:32:56,956 --> 00:32:59,865
And, in fact, in the 1700s,
560
00:32:59,896 --> 00:33:02,728
the first four expeditions to Easter Island
561
00:33:02,778 --> 00:33:04,795
never really saw a tree.
562
00:33:05,589 --> 00:33:08,459
And so that's the real
mystery of Easter Island.
563
00:33:08,579 --> 00:33:11,367
How can you move a multi-ton statue
564
00:33:11,392 --> 00:33:14,367
if you have no trees for rollers?
565
00:33:17,536 --> 00:33:21,158
According to the oral
history of the Rapa Nui,
566
00:33:21,278 --> 00:33:25,957
the moai were moved in a very unusual way.
567
00:33:26,595 --> 00:33:29,427
They all reply basically the same thing.
568
00:33:29,469 --> 00:33:32,209
The moai walked to the ahu,
569
00:33:32,251 --> 00:33:34,974
and that's the only
explanation that they give.
570
00:33:35,242 --> 00:33:37,326
But who or what
571
00:33:37,446 --> 00:33:40,132
had the power to make multi-ton moai
572
00:33:40,252 --> 00:33:45,132
appear to walk to their
ahu, or stone platforms?
573
00:33:46,565 --> 00:33:48,662
In 1919,
574
00:33:48,782 --> 00:33:51,696
British archaeologist Katherine Routledge,
575
00:33:51,730 --> 00:33:54,402
who lived on Easter Island for a year,
576
00:33:54,522 --> 00:33:56,957
recorded the legends and testimony
577
00:33:57,008 --> 00:33:59,805
of an old woman who said the moai
578
00:33:59,839 --> 00:34:03,654
were moved with a mystical
energy called mana.
579
00:34:04,318 --> 00:34:08,049
And, according to the oral
histories of the Rapa Nui,
580
00:34:08,169 --> 00:34:11,629
mana came from the gods.
581
00:34:12,654 --> 00:34:16,889
Mana was a direct gift of the gods
582
00:34:17,009 --> 00:34:19,906
given to the Easter Islanders.
583
00:34:20,026 --> 00:34:24,302
Was this mana really a
type of magical force?
584
00:34:24,422 --> 00:34:26,293
Of course not.
585
00:34:26,413 --> 00:34:30,021
It was some type of
misunderstood technology,
586
00:34:30,141 --> 00:34:34,679
some type of a device,
an extraterrestrial tool
587
00:34:34,721 --> 00:34:36,418
with which you could move
588
00:34:36,460 --> 00:34:41,427
those massive Easter
Island heads rather easily.
589
00:34:43,116 --> 00:34:45,890
Did early inhabitants of Easter Island
590
00:34:45,891 --> 00:34:50,048
really know how to unlock the
secrets of gravity using mana?
591
00:34:50,519 --> 00:34:52,065
And, if so,
592
00:34:52,107 --> 00:34:56,569
where might such power over the
physical world have come from?
593
00:34:57,208 --> 00:34:59,451
Might these astounding abilities,
594
00:34:59,460 --> 00:35:01,140
forever lost to time,
595
00:35:01,166 --> 00:35:05,039
have been made possible by
extraterrestrial visitors?
596
00:35:05,493 --> 00:35:07,989
Perhaps further evidence can be found
597
00:35:07,998 --> 00:35:11,200
with a mysterious structure
in southern Florida
598
00:35:11,233 --> 00:35:15,115
built from 30-ton coral blocks.
599
00:35:17,938 --> 00:35:20,098
Homestead, Florida,
600
00:35:20,384 --> 00:35:22,879
30 miles south of Miami.
601
00:35:24,678 --> 00:35:27,359
This former agricultural town
602
00:35:27,392 --> 00:35:31,334
is home to one of the most mysterious
structures in North America,
603
00:35:32,250 --> 00:35:36,594
a stone garden made of sculpted
blocks of ancient coral,
604
00:35:36,714 --> 00:35:39,333
some weighing 30 tons.
605
00:35:39,453 --> 00:35:43,039
It's called the Coral Castle.
606
00:35:44,921 --> 00:35:47,743
Spread over several acres,
607
00:35:47,744 --> 00:35:49,500
the complex formations
608
00:35:49,509 --> 00:35:54,332
and intricate designs of the stone
walls and sculptures marvel tourists.
609
00:35:54,783 --> 00:35:58,239
But unlike other great
structures around the world,
610
00:35:58,359 --> 00:36:01,404
this site is not ancient.
611
00:36:01,727 --> 00:36:05,374
Coral Castle in Florida
is often said to be, uh,
612
00:36:05,494 --> 00:36:10,172
the only modern megalithic
structure ever built.
613
00:36:11,534 --> 00:36:13,769
In 1923,
614
00:36:13,811 --> 00:36:16,282
Ed Leedskalnin, a Latvian immigrant,
615
00:36:16,307 --> 00:36:19,753
began building what he
originally called Rock Gate Park.
616
00:36:20,075 --> 00:36:21,719
But believe it or not,
617
00:36:21,839 --> 00:36:25,929
Leedskalnin insisted that he
was not using modern machinery
618
00:36:25,948 --> 00:36:28,135
to build the impressive structure.
619
00:36:28,139 --> 00:36:31,231
He also claimed that he was working alone.
620
00:36:31,248 --> 00:36:32,870
Well, Ed was a hermit
621
00:36:32,990 --> 00:36:34,997
and Ed was a loner
622
00:36:35,341 --> 00:36:37,383
and he was a foreigner
623
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:41,434
and he was a recluse and a scientist.
624
00:36:41,798 --> 00:36:43,685
He was in love with a woman,
625
00:36:43,710 --> 00:36:47,601
and he wanted to build this
facility in memory of her.
626
00:36:47,626 --> 00:36:50,852
And he waited for her to come
from Europe, and he waited
627
00:36:50,972 --> 00:36:54,071
and he waited, and she never did.
628
00:36:54,500 --> 00:36:56,819
But the big question is, is how did this
629
00:36:56,836 --> 00:36:58,668
frail little man
630
00:36:58,788 --> 00:37:04,904
move these thousands of
pounds of block by himself.
631
00:37:05,912 --> 00:37:08,332
Barely over five feet tall
632
00:37:08,382 --> 00:37:11,004
and weighing just 100 pounds,
633
00:37:11,038 --> 00:37:13,357
Leedskalnin is said to have carved,
634
00:37:13,373 --> 00:37:16,887
moved and hoisted huge multi-ton stones
635
00:37:16,912 --> 00:37:19,749
using only a makeshift tripod.
636
00:37:19,869 --> 00:37:21,820
He has a tripod,
637
00:37:21,940 --> 00:37:23,954
three pieces of Florida Pine
638
00:37:24,006 --> 00:37:27,929
and he's got some chains, and
he's now gonna lift 30 tons,
639
00:37:28,282 --> 00:37:31,813
ten tons of rock... can't be done.
640
00:37:31,814 --> 00:37:33,106
No one could do that.
641
00:37:33,106 --> 00:37:34,501
He would work at night...
642
00:37:34,534 --> 00:37:36,744
he wouldn't let anybody watch him.
643
00:37:36,795 --> 00:37:41,543
And he said that he knew
the secrets of the pyramids.
644
00:37:42,257 --> 00:37:46,030
But what exactly was
Leedskalnin referring to?
645
00:37:46,150 --> 00:37:49,870
Had he rediscovered the
same advanced technology
646
00:37:49,886 --> 00:37:53,668
used to build megalithic
structures like Carnac a
647
00:37:53,788 --> 00:37:55,576
nd Gobekli Tepe?
648
00:37:55,696 --> 00:37:58,639
Ed over and over again would tell people
649
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:02,933
that he knew the secrets that helped
the Egyptians build the pyramids.
650
00:38:02,958 --> 00:38:04,219
What was he talking about?
651
00:38:04,244 --> 00:38:07,480
Why was he constantly
harking back to the Egyptians?
652
00:38:07,488 --> 00:38:09,051
We don't know.
653
00:38:09,245 --> 00:38:12,463
Leedskalnin continued
work on the Coral Castle
654
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,337
until his death in 1951.
655
00:38:16,312 --> 00:38:18,759
In the journals he left behind,
656
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:20,447
the builder explained
657
00:38:20,567 --> 00:38:24,859
that he had discovered the ancient
secret of transforming stones
658
00:38:24,884 --> 00:38:27,035
into weightless objects.
659
00:38:28,346 --> 00:38:31,136
Ed says this in his
pamphlet, Magnetic Current,
660
00:38:31,170 --> 00:38:35,699
that real gravity is actually real magnet.
661
00:38:36,119 --> 00:38:38,732
So if you reverse the magnet forces
662
00:38:38,766 --> 00:38:42,900
with a force of some
kind of electromagnetic
663
00:38:43,020 --> 00:38:45,329
radio, perhaps, frequency,
664
00:38:45,539 --> 00:38:49,530
you can then make these rocks not as heavy
665
00:38:49,650 --> 00:38:53,556
as they seem otherwise and
therefore you can lift them.
666
00:38:54,816 --> 00:38:59,262
But if Leedskalnin had developed
a device that could modify gravity,
667
00:39:00,413 --> 00:39:02,413
what was his secret?
668
00:39:02,606 --> 00:39:06,724
Some suggest the answer lies
in a mysterious black box
669
00:39:06,741 --> 00:39:10,060
that can be seen in various photographs,
670
00:39:11,531 --> 00:39:15,725
a box that has since disappeared.
671
00:39:18,363 --> 00:39:20,968
The black box sitting on top
672
00:39:21,088 --> 00:39:24,237
is the element that no one has ever seen
673
00:39:24,260 --> 00:39:27,834
except in those pictures,
and no one has today.
674
00:39:27,876 --> 00:39:29,745
We believe that black box
675
00:39:29,766 --> 00:39:31,413
has something to do
676
00:39:31,422 --> 00:39:35,010
with how he got these massive, heavy,
677
00:39:35,052 --> 00:39:38,687
brittle pieces of rock up in the air
678
00:39:38,807 --> 00:39:41,463
in a way that no one can duplicate.
679
00:39:42,421 --> 00:39:44,655
He had some kind of magnetic machine
680
00:39:44,657 --> 00:39:46,984
down in one of his other house areas
681
00:39:47,015 --> 00:39:51,346
that has since been dismantled,
but it had a revolving ability.
682
00:39:51,466 --> 00:39:53,346
He may have been having that thing spin.
683
00:39:53,363 --> 00:39:56,157
The whole place could
have been antigravity.
684
00:39:56,158 --> 00:39:59,069
He probably just pushed these into place.
685
00:40:00,246 --> 00:40:02,263
Levitation is the only way that I know of
686
00:40:02,263 --> 00:40:03,994
to hold up very heavy objects.
687
00:40:04,019 --> 00:40:06,272
Very, very high-speed trains
688
00:40:06,297 --> 00:40:08,305
are magnetically levitated.
689
00:40:10,372 --> 00:40:12,474
These high-speed trains
690
00:40:12,507 --> 00:40:14,415
don't have wheels that touch any tracks.
691
00:40:14,415 --> 00:40:18,796
They're literally suspended above
the track using magnetic forces.
692
00:40:19,847 --> 00:40:22,931
We can speculate at this time
693
00:40:22,948 --> 00:40:25,067
that there are techniques
694
00:40:25,074 --> 00:40:28,755
for using electromagnetism
to nullify gravity.
695
00:40:29,746 --> 00:40:32,908
Uh, this was the great quest of Einstein.
696
00:40:33,028 --> 00:40:35,922
The motivation for such
technology is, of course,
697
00:40:35,931 --> 00:40:40,073
to lift a large spaceship out
into space and across space.
698
00:40:40,788 --> 00:40:42,337
All right.
699
00:40:46,011 --> 00:40:48,683
Could it be that Ed Leedskalnin
700
00:40:48,708 --> 00:40:51,623
utilized antigravity to levitate
701
00:40:51,665 --> 00:40:55,867
and distribute the enormous
rocks used to build Coral Castle?
702
00:40:56,060 --> 00:40:57,396
If so,
703
00:40:57,516 --> 00:41:00,354
where did this incredible
knowledge come from?
704
00:41:01,539 --> 00:41:04,740
And he died, taking
this secret to his grave.
705
00:41:04,748 --> 00:41:06,732
The question is, did he invent it,
706
00:41:06,774 --> 00:41:10,564
or did he himself somehow
inherit it or learn it from
707
00:41:10,580 --> 00:41:14,924
a tradition or maybe from some
visitor from another realm?
708
00:41:15,824 --> 00:41:19,059
The only thing that is explainable
709
00:41:19,109 --> 00:41:22,437
is that someone with a higher form of
710
00:41:22,557 --> 00:41:26,092
physics and understanding of gravity
711
00:41:26,100 --> 00:41:29,134
has created the ability
of one person to lift
712
00:41:29,176 --> 00:41:33,025
stones that modern technology could not do,
713
00:41:33,145 --> 00:41:34,438
the way he did it.
714
00:41:34,558 --> 00:41:38,035
It had to come from a
different place in this galaxy.
715
00:41:46,052 --> 00:41:48,774
The fact that one guy
716
00:41:48,894 --> 00:41:54,649
created these massive structures
is absolutely fascinating.
717
00:41:54,682 --> 00:41:56,411
Am I suggesting that
718
00:41:56,412 --> 00:41:59,715
he did this with
extraterrestrial technology?
719
00:41:59,835 --> 00:42:02,656
No, because I don't know.
720
00:42:02,776 --> 00:42:05,547
Am I excluding that possibility?
721
00:42:05,598 --> 00:42:06,783
No.
722
00:42:07,497 --> 00:42:11,040
If aliens visited Earth in ancient times,
723
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,060
perhaps the world's
mysterious stone structures
724
00:42:14,076 --> 00:42:15,976
can provide clues
725
00:42:16,096 --> 00:42:21,421
not only to mankind's
past but to its future.
726
00:42:22,152 --> 00:42:25,160
I think that extraterrestrials
would not have left
727
00:42:25,176 --> 00:42:29,194
our solar system some thousands
of years ago without any proof.
728
00:42:29,513 --> 00:42:33,639
They wanted that in the far
future we start to reflect,
729
00:42:34,337 --> 00:42:37,185
"Have we been visited by outer space?"
730
00:42:38,017 --> 00:42:41,008
Could additional evidence still lie hidden
731
00:42:42,361 --> 00:42:45,008
right before our eyes?
732
00:42:45,894 --> 00:42:48,159
Evidence that, when found,
733
00:42:48,164 --> 00:42:51,117
will prove once and for all
734
00:42:51,237 --> 00:42:54,291
that we are not alone?
735
00:42:54,411 --> 00:42:57,131
