Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:00,970 --> 00:00:05,210 Giant volcanic rock walls rise up from the sea. 2 00:00:05,690 --> 00:00:11,030 We can see the sheer scale of the Nandodal construction site. It's mind 3 00:00:11,030 --> 00:00:15,670 -boggling. Just how were these massive structures built, and why? 4 00:00:17,150 --> 00:00:22,870 Ancient astronaut theorists Giorgio Tsoukalos and David Chondris embark on 5 00:00:22,870 --> 00:00:26,530 incredible journey to these remote ruins in search of answers. 6 00:00:26,870 --> 00:00:28,410 Wow, look at this. 7 00:00:30,489 --> 00:00:37,030 250 million tons of basalt just piled up and in artificial islands. 8 00:00:38,110 --> 00:00:42,270 Will they solve the mystery of one of the world's most baffling sites? 9 00:00:42,730 --> 00:00:44,150 You should be getting close to the wall. 10 00:00:44,470 --> 00:00:49,230 So as soon as you get close to those stones, it disconnects. That's so 11 00:00:49,470 --> 00:00:53,170 The more you know, the more mysterious it gets. 12 00:00:55,950 --> 00:00:57,270 There is a doorway. 13 00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,080 in the universe. 14 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,500 Beyond it is the promise of truth. 15 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:09,260 It demands we question everything we have ever been taught. 16 00:01:09,860 --> 00:01:12,860 The evidence is all around us. 17 00:01:13,260 --> 00:01:17,000 The future is right before our eyes. 18 00:01:17,340 --> 00:01:19,740 We are not alone. 19 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,940 We have never been alone. 20 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,000 The Pacific Ocean, January 1836. 21 00:01:37,020 --> 00:01:42,120 The British cutter Lambton arrives at the shores of the Micronesian island of 22 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,120 Pompeii. 23 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:49,180 It is one of the first European expeditions to reach this remote 24 00:01:49,180 --> 00:01:53,080 is located roughly 2 ,500 miles northeast of Australia. 25 00:01:54,180 --> 00:01:59,980 The ship's surgeon, identified only as Dr. Campbell, writes about a megalithic 26 00:01:59,980 --> 00:02:03,170 site that stands off Pompeii, southeastern shore. 27 00:02:04,610 --> 00:02:10,470 He speculates that the massive structures are as old as the Egyptian 28 00:02:10,470 --> 00:02:12,530 must have been the work of great men. 29 00:02:13,590 --> 00:02:18,570 It is one of the earliest accounts of what will later be known as Nan Madol. 30 00:02:19,670 --> 00:02:24,010 Nan Madol is this amazing construction. 31 00:02:24,230 --> 00:02:26,170 It's a full -on city. 32 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,860 When pilots during World War II would fly over that part of the Pacific, they 33 00:02:31,860 --> 00:02:35,740 would look out their windows and they would see what essentially was described 34 00:02:35,740 --> 00:02:38,900 as the Venice of the Pacific. So that became one of its nicknames. 35 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:46,760 Today, much of Nan Madol is hidden beneath dense vegetation, making it 36 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,120 though the edge of Pompeii extends further out into the ocean. 37 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,220 But in reality... 38 00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:58,080 It is an 11 -square -mile complex consisting of more than 100 man -made 39 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,040 standing atop a submerged coral reef. 40 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,700 Archaeologists estimate that to construct the site, the builders used 41 00:03:07,700 --> 00:03:13,960 million tons of basalt, a black rock that forms when basalt lava from a 42 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,860 cools and becomes solid. 43 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,760 Some of the basalt logs and blocks weigh upwards of 50 tons. 44 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:32,600 Nan Madol is this mysterious island in the middle of nowhere. 45 00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:38,880 You have at least 600 miles in every direction where there is absolutely 46 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:39,880 nothing. 47 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:47,580 And so to find this incredible megalithic structure there, you have to 48 00:03:47,580 --> 00:03:50,440 why that place existed in the first place. 49 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,760 When we consider the shit... 50 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,880 scale of the Nan Madol construction site. It's mind -boggling. 51 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:03,340 Why would they need this scale of construction on a tiny island in the 52 00:04:03,340 --> 00:04:04,340 nowhere? 53 00:04:04,460 --> 00:04:10,260 It is a complete mystery who exactly constructed it and when. 54 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,279 Historians have attributed the megalithic construction to the Sandalur 55 00:04:17,180 --> 00:04:21,920 The empire ruled over Nan Madol for approximately 500 years. 56 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,080 from 1100 to 1628 AD. 57 00:04:25,740 --> 00:04:30,900 But speculation that they were the builders of Nan Madol has been the 58 00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:35,820 controversy, as many believe that an accurate dating of the structures is 59 00:04:35,820 --> 00:04:37,760 virtually impossible to determine. 60 00:04:38,220 --> 00:04:42,000 It's difficult, really, to put dates on Nan Madol. 61 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:48,500 Currently, mainstream archaeologists are giving the city a date of about 1100 62 00:04:48,500 --> 00:04:51,480 AD, and they're coming up with that date. 63 00:04:51,790 --> 00:04:54,310 by dating some of the coral rubble that's there. 64 00:04:55,330 --> 00:05:01,650 What I think of there is that this is the date of the last repair work 65 00:05:01,650 --> 00:05:07,810 on this amazing city, and that the city itself was actually built much earlier 66 00:05:07,810 --> 00:05:08,810 than that. 67 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,640 The thing is, they left no records. They left no literature, no history, no art, 68 00:05:13,740 --> 00:05:18,520 nothing that says that they had the advanced technologies or concepts like 69 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,060 mathematics that would enable them to build such an archaeological wonder. 70 00:05:22,900 --> 00:05:27,940 So it leaves this great mystery of who actually constructed Nan Madal and why. 71 00:05:29,460 --> 00:05:33,640 Baltimore, Maryland, September 16, 2019. 72 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:40,240 A team of scientists, backed by the U .S. Department of State Ambassadors Fund 73 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:45,420 for Cultural Preservation, completes a six -month project to conduct the first 74 00:05:45,420 --> 00:05:48,180 LIDAR survey of this World Heritage Site. 75 00:05:49,340 --> 00:05:55,640 LIDAR utilizes laser wave pulses to create a 3D representation of an area 76 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,660 allows unprecedented access to otherwise impenetrable locations. 77 00:06:01,290 --> 00:06:07,890 This recent LIDAR survey at Tamwin Island and Nan Madol indicates that 78 00:06:07,890 --> 00:06:14,510 there was a specially designed irrigation system that could support 79 00:06:14,510 --> 00:06:19,890 this relatively small island adjacent to Pohnpei, and then Nan Madol is built 80 00:06:19,890 --> 00:06:20,669 there too. 81 00:06:20,670 --> 00:06:25,930 So who then would have built such a sophisticated... 82 00:06:26,770 --> 00:06:31,330 irrigation system, which no one knew about until this recent LIDAR survey. 83 00:06:31,690 --> 00:06:36,250 And it doesn't seem that the so -called builders, the Sadalers, were the 84 00:06:36,250 --> 00:06:37,250 builders of this. 85 00:06:37,470 --> 00:06:41,690 While the study continues to credit the construction of Non -Midal to the 86 00:06:41,690 --> 00:06:46,690 Sadalers, many researchers suggest that the oral history of the people of 87 00:06:46,690 --> 00:06:48,750 Pompeii contradicts this notion. 88 00:06:49,070 --> 00:06:52,290 This recent LIDAR survey is sensational because... 89 00:06:52,570 --> 00:06:57,030 The big mystery about Nan Madol was always where did the people get their 90 00:06:57,030 --> 00:07:01,470 from or their water? And according to the local population, it had to be 91 00:07:01,470 --> 00:07:06,810 in. But if you now look at this new LIDAR survey, which suggests that there 92 00:07:06,810 --> 00:07:12,010 an artificial irrigation system on Temwen, well, they could have collected 93 00:07:12,010 --> 00:07:17,170 water right there. And this leads me to think that the sod lures appropriated 94 00:07:17,170 --> 00:07:20,510 whatever was at Temwen Island and Nan Madol. 95 00:07:21,150 --> 00:07:25,650 Does the LIDAR survey prove that the conventional theories crediting the 96 00:07:25,650 --> 00:07:28,750 Lures as the creators of Non -Midal are wrong? 97 00:07:28,970 --> 00:07:33,290 But if so, who built Non -Midal and why? 98 00:07:36,050 --> 00:07:42,750 September 2019 Intrigued by the 99 00:07:42,750 --> 00:07:47,610 results of the recent LIDAR survey, ancient astronaut theorists Giorgio 100 00:07:47,610 --> 00:07:52,520 Tsoukalos and David Childress embark on a journey to the remote island of 101 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:57,500 Pompeii. They are hoping to find evidence that could shed new light on 102 00:07:57,500 --> 00:07:59,520 become a centuries -old mystery. 103 00:07:59,900 --> 00:08:00,900 Here we are. 104 00:08:01,300 --> 00:08:07,080 Exciting. This expedition is the first for Giorgio, but David's fifth visit to 105 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,080 the megalithic site. 106 00:08:08,900 --> 00:08:12,520 All right, hello. Hi, Gus. This is our guy. How are you, Gus? Good to see you. 107 00:08:12,700 --> 00:08:17,700 At Mangrove Bay on the island's north shore, Giorgio and David meet up with 108 00:08:17,700 --> 00:08:22,740 Micronesia's National Historic Preservation Officer, Gus Kohler. So 109 00:08:22,860 --> 00:08:23,860 Let's get going, yeah. 110 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,260 From here, they will travel by boat to Non -Madong. 111 00:08:29,290 --> 00:08:34,070 Nan Madol is one of the last ancient mysteries that I have yet to see. And 112 00:08:34,070 --> 00:08:36,169 been 30 years since I've wanted to come here. 113 00:08:36,450 --> 00:08:42,090 And I cannot wait to see what awaits us and what better guide than David 114 00:08:42,090 --> 00:08:47,390 Childress. Nan Madol is the eighth wonder of the world. It's one of the 115 00:08:47,390 --> 00:08:51,730 amazing megalithic sites that I've ever seen. But it's very little known. 116 00:08:52,380 --> 00:08:54,360 The archaeologists who come here. 117 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,420 What do they say? Yeah, how do they say it was made, Man Badal? 118 00:08:58,660 --> 00:09:05,200 Everyone has their own theory. If you imagine, if you carry it, you know, 119 00:09:05,220 --> 00:09:09,380 it's a very uneven terrain. You've got mountains, you've got valleys, you've 120 00:09:09,380 --> 00:09:10,920 water. Very rugged. 121 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:16,860 Very rugged. And then the question of putting it or having it hung underneath 122 00:09:16,860 --> 00:09:21,300 boat. I mean, we've tried to carry locks, small ones on rafts. 123 00:09:21,550 --> 00:09:23,830 tried to imitate how it's just impossible. 124 00:09:24,110 --> 00:09:24,969 They can't do it. 125 00:09:24,970 --> 00:09:29,690 So you have actually tried to do it the way that mainstream archaeologists 126 00:09:29,690 --> 00:09:31,710 suggest, and it didn't quite work. 127 00:09:31,970 --> 00:09:33,710 Not with the rafts that we had. 128 00:09:34,390 --> 00:09:39,710 According to mainstream scholars, bamboo rafts transported the blocks used in 129 00:09:39,710 --> 00:09:41,350 the construction of Nan Madal. 130 00:09:41,670 --> 00:09:44,030 But Gus Kohler does not agree. 131 00:09:44,610 --> 00:09:49,290 As far as he's concerned, this method has repeatedly been tested. 132 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,540 And it's failed, even when the smallest of basalt columns are used. 133 00:09:54,020 --> 00:09:59,320 One of the most recent attempts was made for a television documentary in 1995. 134 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:05,760 After several attempts, they were unable to demonstrate how this would be done, 135 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,640 even with smaller blocks weighing only one ton. 136 00:10:11,500 --> 00:10:16,760 After a 90 -minute boat ride... David and Giorgio get their first look at the 137 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,180 massive basalt walls of Nan Madal. 138 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,520 All right, so here we go. Here's the massive seawall here. 139 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:28,420 But it's just huge. Look at the giant stones, how they're piled up here. 140 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,720 But it's just huge. 141 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:33,560 It's just... 142 00:10:34,010 --> 00:10:40,810 250 million tons of basalt just piled up and into giant walls 143 00:10:40,810 --> 00:10:47,010 and artificial islands. It boggles the mind. It's just so incredible. 144 00:10:47,410 --> 00:10:51,170 Some of these blocks are just massive, massive, huge. 145 00:10:53,030 --> 00:10:59,010 The first time I laid eyes on Nan Madal, I thought it was prehistoric. 146 00:10:59,690 --> 00:11:00,830 This place. 147 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:06,520 potentially is thousands of years older than what mainstream archaeology 148 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:07,520 suggests. 149 00:11:08,620 --> 00:11:15,020 Nan Madol astounds you when you see it, but most archaeologists really don't 150 00:11:15,020 --> 00:11:21,500 want to open this Pandora's box of what is there on this island 151 00:11:21,500 --> 00:11:26,360 because it's not easily explained by mainstream archaeology. 152 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:28,960 Rufino Mauricio. 153 00:11:29,450 --> 00:11:33,430 the director of the Federal States of Micronesia Office of National Archives. 154 00:11:33,810 --> 00:11:39,310 He's among many who believe that the secret to Namadol's origins may not be a 155 00:11:39,310 --> 00:11:40,310 terrestrial one. 156 00:11:40,790 --> 00:11:46,810 The existence of Namadol itself continues to puzzle people because 157 00:11:46,810 --> 00:11:53,310 it welcomes all kinds of possibilities, including possibilities of people from 158 00:11:53,310 --> 00:11:56,630 the outer space influencing what was built here. 159 00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,740 People from outer space? 160 00:12:00,940 --> 00:12:04,920 It is a question that Giorgio and David are determined to answer. 161 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,800 And as the first step in their investigation, they are eager to make a 162 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:14,200 examination of the site and investigate the details of its baffling 163 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,200 construction. 164 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,800 So here we're just on the edge of Tamlin Island. 165 00:12:24,020 --> 00:12:25,020 Amazing. 166 00:12:25,870 --> 00:12:31,530 After docking on Pompeii's Tamwen Island, ancient astronaut theorists 167 00:12:31,530 --> 00:12:37,190 Tsoukalos and David Childress are now approaching the ancient ruins of Nan 168 00:12:37,190 --> 00:12:38,190 by land. 169 00:12:39,130 --> 00:12:44,610 With them is Micronesia's National Historic Preservation Officer, Gus 170 00:12:44,890 --> 00:12:48,630 Okay, we're going to make a left up there. A left up here, okay. 171 00:12:50,010 --> 00:12:52,250 This is it, huh? This is it. 172 00:12:54,410 --> 00:12:58,510 to get an expert opinion on the construction of this staggering 173 00:12:58,510 --> 00:13:02,630 complex. Let's do it. Follow me. They have enlisted UCLA professor of 174 00:13:02,630 --> 00:13:04,850 engineering, Dr. Henry Burton. 175 00:13:06,030 --> 00:13:10,710 I'm a structural engineer, so I think about how to design things to make sure 176 00:13:10,710 --> 00:13:13,970 that they move through structures in a way that they're stable. 177 00:13:14,290 --> 00:13:15,290 Okay, back there. 178 00:13:16,030 --> 00:13:19,770 So my role is to bring a modern perspective on the structures that we're 179 00:13:19,770 --> 00:13:21,090 here in Micronesia. 180 00:13:23,230 --> 00:13:24,930 Wow. Look at this. 181 00:13:25,970 --> 00:13:27,770 Amazing. That's amazing. 182 00:13:28,390 --> 00:13:30,370 I mean, look at some of those. I know. 183 00:13:30,670 --> 00:13:31,830 Look at that guy. 184 00:13:32,870 --> 00:13:37,490 So here's this huge wall here full of prismatic basalt. 185 00:13:38,050 --> 00:13:40,850 How would you build that then today? 186 00:13:41,530 --> 00:13:44,370 Well, you'd certainly need cranes, I can tell you that. 187 00:13:45,310 --> 00:13:50,270 Even for some of these smaller blocks you're talking about on the order of 188 00:13:50,270 --> 00:13:51,270 of tons. 189 00:13:52,500 --> 00:13:56,200 So how would you build this if you didn't have any cranes? 190 00:13:57,260 --> 00:14:04,120 Well, that I can't think of any way that you'd be able to 191 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:05,120 build this. 192 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:11,240 Because one would argue perhaps this was done with some sort of scaffolding, but 193 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,840 wouldn't you need really strong trees? 194 00:14:14,970 --> 00:14:20,230 And they don't really have strong trees here to build that type of scaffolding. 195 00:14:20,610 --> 00:14:21,930 Yeah, it's a mystery to me. 196 00:14:22,990 --> 00:14:28,490 I can't imagine how it could be built without cranes. So, Gus, what is your 197 00:14:28,490 --> 00:14:31,930 tradition of how they built these walls? 198 00:14:32,370 --> 00:14:36,870 Well, according to our oral history, this rock came from the Lord. We're in 199 00:14:36,870 --> 00:14:38,570 Saudis. This area is the Saudis. 200 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,500 and in fact the recent studies has been able to collaborate that 40 of these 201 00:14:43,500 --> 00:14:48,860 rocks actually came from the north and that is distance wise how long how far 202 00:14:48,860 --> 00:14:54,460 to 20 miles maybe 20 miles okay just imagine moving that boulder right there 203 00:14:54,460 --> 00:14:59,180 many people would it take to move that what kind of a boat would you have that 204 00:14:59,180 --> 00:15:04,580 you could put that boulder on well i mean you'd be talking about a barge 205 00:15:04,580 --> 00:15:05,680 so um 206 00:15:06,570 --> 00:15:12,210 There are barges that hold up to hundreds of tons. They have hundreds of 207 00:15:12,210 --> 00:15:13,370 terms of capacity. 208 00:15:13,670 --> 00:15:16,490 So that's what you're talking about. You're talking about basically shipping 209 00:15:16,490 --> 00:15:20,430 barges. Giant shipping barge, like what we have today. 210 00:15:20,790 --> 00:15:27,630 The idea that people actually drag these things across a rugged terrain or 211 00:15:27,630 --> 00:15:30,370 on rafts is absolutely preposterous, in my opinion. 212 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:37,560 The bottom line is that it is an impossibility to move 250 million tons 213 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:42,480 basalt from one side of the island to the other without modern technology, 214 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,300 without modern machinery. 215 00:15:47,300 --> 00:15:52,480 As a heavy rain suddenly sets in, the team makes its way through the ancient 216 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,300 site and towards a remarkable feature in one of the basalt walls. 217 00:15:56,990 --> 00:15:59,030 So the weather here changes every 30 seconds. 218 00:15:59,270 --> 00:16:00,430 Yeah, welcome to Hornby. 219 00:16:01,310 --> 00:16:06,390 For structural engineer Henry Burton, just as impressive as the size of the 220 00:16:06,390 --> 00:16:10,590 stones used to construct Nan Madal is the engineering knowledge the ancient 221 00:16:10,590 --> 00:16:12,010 builders must have had. 222 00:16:13,930 --> 00:16:17,970 So what's interesting about this is if you look at the doorway in any modern 223 00:16:17,970 --> 00:16:22,750 building and you open up the walls, you'll find a beam directly over the 224 00:16:22,750 --> 00:16:26,890 doorway. And why this type of beam is important is because it supports all of 225 00:16:26,890 --> 00:16:30,390 the load that's above it. It's called a lintel, right? So that's actually a 226 00:16:30,390 --> 00:16:32,630 structural element that's used in design. 227 00:16:33,050 --> 00:16:36,990 This is interesting because this is actually in bending, right? It's subtle. 228 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,980 But this is actually a bending action that you're seeing here, and it becomes 229 00:16:40,980 --> 00:16:43,040 little bit more interesting when you have to do the design. 230 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,560 What type of mathematics or physics is involved here? 231 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,720 Well, there are several things you have to think about. So first, you'd have to 232 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,280 think about the load that's being placed on this, right? Then you would have to 233 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,100 consider the structural mechanics. So you'd have to consider the cross 234 00:16:56,100 --> 00:16:59,000 -sectional properties of this thing. You would have to consider the material 235 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,640 properties. Now, if we're talking about sort of what governs the bending shape 236 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,560 of this thing, then there's some actual calculus involved. 237 00:17:06,859 --> 00:17:08,400 in understanding that. 238 00:17:10,260 --> 00:17:15,980 Dr. Burton said that in order to calculate these stress levels, he would 239 00:17:15,980 --> 00:17:18,300 advanced mathematics such as calculus. 240 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:24,119 And that is a pretty tall order because even archaeologists would have to admit 241 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,520 that calculus did not exist in the 1100 AD. 242 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:34,940 Calculus, for all intents and purposes, was not invented until the 17th century 243 00:17:34,940 --> 00:17:35,940 AD. 244 00:17:42,670 --> 00:17:45,650 So, gentlemen, we're going to cross? All right, let's do it. 245 00:17:49,710 --> 00:17:55,930 Although no inscriptions of any kind exist on the stone structures, in 1907, 246 00:17:56,190 --> 00:18:01,890 excavations were performed in areas believed to be ceremonial temples and 247 00:18:02,550 --> 00:18:07,270 So this is the central part of Nandoa, the ceremonial center? 248 00:18:08,250 --> 00:18:09,250 Unreal. 249 00:18:09,930 --> 00:18:12,130 Right up front, you'll see a tomb. 250 00:18:14,550 --> 00:18:15,550 Isn't this great? 251 00:18:15,710 --> 00:18:17,350 It's something else, isn't it? 252 00:18:20,270 --> 00:18:21,270 Wow. 253 00:18:22,490 --> 00:18:23,650 This is extraordinary. 254 00:18:24,190 --> 00:18:28,530 So this area is the main ceremonial center of Nan Madol. This is where they 255 00:18:28,530 --> 00:18:29,530 perform all the rituals. 256 00:18:29,930 --> 00:18:33,390 And then this was some type of a tomb at some point? 257 00:18:33,690 --> 00:18:37,190 They said it was a burial tomb of some of the chiefs. Okay. But they're not 258 00:18:37,190 --> 00:18:42,000 really sure that it was a... Two of them, are they? He was excavated during 259 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:42,859 German time. 260 00:18:42,860 --> 00:18:44,220 And what did they discover? 261 00:18:44,460 --> 00:18:45,540 Did they discover bones? 262 00:18:46,100 --> 00:18:50,420 Nobody knows for sure, because the guy who did the excavation died the very 263 00:18:50,420 --> 00:18:51,420 day. 264 00:18:52,020 --> 00:18:58,240 And then later, some of the excavated material from here was put on a ship, 265 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,680 that ship sank in the Marshall Islands, and everything was lost. So the 266 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,700 excavator died and the ship sank. 267 00:19:04,350 --> 00:19:09,650 So is this similar to like the curse of the pharaohs? Because also in ancient 268 00:19:09,650 --> 00:19:14,050 Egypt, they were saying that if you excavate something, you'll have a curse 269 00:19:14,050 --> 00:19:14,849 you die. 270 00:19:14,850 --> 00:19:16,110 And some people have died. 271 00:19:16,550 --> 00:19:20,750 Well, in trying to explain is that the local people believed that it was 272 00:19:20,750 --> 00:19:22,050 he disturbed his area. 273 00:19:23,330 --> 00:19:26,610 Although Pompeii is home to 34 ,000 people, 274 00:19:27,790 --> 00:19:32,710 Nan Madal is completely uninhabited and has been for centuries. 275 00:19:33,610 --> 00:19:38,590 Among the reasons is that the native islanders believe this ancient site is 276 00:19:38,590 --> 00:19:44,050 cursed. There's all kinds of taboos about visiting this place, like it's got 277 00:19:44,050 --> 00:19:45,050 ghosts there. 278 00:19:45,130 --> 00:19:50,290 The local islanders believe that the city of Namadol is cursed, and they 279 00:19:50,290 --> 00:19:52,590 that if they spend the night there, they'll die. 280 00:19:53,210 --> 00:19:59,930 The islanders say that at night, there are lights that move around in the city. 281 00:20:00,350 --> 00:20:04,970 Even today, few locals also come here today. I mean, it's a sacred place, it's 282 00:20:04,970 --> 00:20:09,250 taboo, but they believe this area. This whole place is invested in either good 283 00:20:09,250 --> 00:20:11,710 or bad spirits, but it's got spirits roaming this area. 284 00:20:12,550 --> 00:20:16,310 An unexplainable death after the opening of a sacred tomb? 285 00:20:17,670 --> 00:20:21,450 All evidence gathered from the site mysteriously lost at sea? 286 00:20:23,830 --> 00:20:28,890 Could Namadol be home to something that mankind is not yet met? 287 00:20:29,260 --> 00:20:30,260 To discover. 288 00:20:39,780 --> 00:20:40,920 Man, oh man. 289 00:20:41,420 --> 00:20:43,460 Look how tall that is. 290 00:20:43,660 --> 00:20:48,360 While visiting the ancient site of Nan Madal, ancient astronaut theorists 291 00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:53,820 Giorgio Tsoukalos and David Chodris, along with their guide, Gus Kohler, and 292 00:20:53,820 --> 00:20:56,120 structural engineer, Dr. Henry Burton. 293 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:01,620 had traveled to the site of Nandawas. The royal mortuary said to belong to 294 00:21:01,620 --> 00:21:03,440 Nandawas' original builders. 295 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:08,980 This is supposed to be the biggest stone here at Nandawas. This cornerstone 296 00:21:08,980 --> 00:21:14,280 right here? This thing. It's supposed to be the biggest of all the stones here. 297 00:21:15,380 --> 00:21:18,100 Henry, do you think you can calculate the weight of this? 298 00:21:18,650 --> 00:21:22,510 Yeah, we can certainly estimate it. I have a measuring tape. We can estimate 299 00:21:22,510 --> 00:21:25,750 volume, and we know the density, so that can give us the math. All right, let's 300 00:21:25,750 --> 00:21:26,750 do that. 301 00:21:28,030 --> 00:21:29,830 Yeah, so this is about 4 meters. 302 00:21:30,230 --> 00:21:33,610 All right, here's the far corner here. 303 00:21:33,910 --> 00:21:38,490 Using the dimensions and the density of one of the basalt stone blocks, Dr. 304 00:21:38,670 --> 00:21:40,190 Burton calculates its weight. 305 00:21:40,470 --> 00:21:42,250 250. Two meters, 50. 306 00:21:42,470 --> 00:21:45,450 All right, so based on the measurements, you're looking at a weight of about 54 307 00:21:45,450 --> 00:21:51,350 tons. 54 tons. So 50 tons, give or take. And you have one, two, three, four 308 00:21:51,350 --> 00:21:57,730 of those monoliths essentially stacked on top of each other at a height of 40 309 00:21:57,730 --> 00:22:04,670 feet. So, Gus, what is then the oral history of moving this stone on the 310 00:22:05,130 --> 00:22:10,750 Well, according to the legends, the stones were flown up there. 311 00:22:11,210 --> 00:22:13,890 Rocks were brought from the north and they were flown up here. 312 00:22:15,050 --> 00:22:20,790 For generations, the people of Pompeii have told the story that Non -Midal was 313 00:22:20,790 --> 00:22:25,310 constructed by strange visitors through a process of levitation. 314 00:22:26,410 --> 00:22:31,590 It is this legend that is suggested to ancient astronaut theorists that Non 315 00:22:31,590 --> 00:22:36,470 -Midal is not only an ancient megalithic structure, it is also an 316 00:22:36,470 --> 00:22:37,890 extraterrestrial one. 317 00:22:38,700 --> 00:22:45,040 We have in the oral traditions a story about two brothers, Olosopa 318 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:50,680 and Olosipa. They managed to construct what you know today as Nan Madol. 319 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:56,840 According to oral histories, the stones flew to the Nan Madol area. 320 00:22:57,360 --> 00:22:59,960 How did they fly there, we don't know. 321 00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:04,880 The two brothers who started Nan Madol, according to Bonpeng legend, were 322 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,600 foreigners. They were not from here, so we don't know. 323 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:09,180 where they were from. 324 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:15,320 According to legend, the twin sorcerers who created Nan Madal were of giant 325 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:16,320 proportions. 326 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:22,260 Much like the legends of Easter Island, where it is said that giants magically 327 00:23:22,260 --> 00:23:24,940 floated the stone Moai statues into place. 328 00:23:26,860 --> 00:23:31,160 Similar stories involving levitation are associated with numerous other 329 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:35,260 megalithic sites, like Stonehenge in England. 330 00:23:35,900 --> 00:23:41,240 The Great Pyramid in Giza, Egypt. The Ushmal Pyramid in the Yucatan Peninsula. 331 00:23:41,740 --> 00:23:44,240 And Pumapunku in Bolivia. 332 00:23:45,180 --> 00:23:51,960 There are other stories around the world that say the exact same thing. How 333 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:57,200 gigantic stones were moved into place as if by magic. 334 00:23:57,790 --> 00:23:59,970 And you have to ask yourself, is there a connection? 335 00:24:00,190 --> 00:24:05,830 Did all of our ancestors receive the same knowledge from the 336 00:24:05,930 --> 00:24:08,870 And the answer to that is a resounding yes. 337 00:24:09,670 --> 00:24:15,370 We've done scientific studies and 40 % of the rocks that comprise this side 338 00:24:15,370 --> 00:24:21,290 came from the north. So it does kind of collaborate our oral legend that it came 339 00:24:21,290 --> 00:24:22,119 from the north. 340 00:24:22,120 --> 00:24:26,400 The other 60 %? I think they don't know where it came from. But it's not from 341 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,800 here, right? Nobody's been able to source that. So, yeah, 60 % of the 342 00:24:30,940 --> 00:24:32,340 they don't know where they came from. 343 00:24:32,580 --> 00:24:37,460 That's incredible that the 60 % is essentially still a mystery, yes? 344 00:24:38,300 --> 00:24:39,300 Huh. 345 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:46,920 For decades, mainstream archaeologists have been frustrated by their failure to 346 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,700 identify the source for much of the basalt used in the construction of Nan 347 00:24:50,700 --> 00:24:56,070 Madal. But recently, a growing number of scientists have become convinced that 348 00:24:56,070 --> 00:25:01,390 it came from a volcanic outcropping located 25 miles northeast of Nan Madol, 349 00:25:01,550 --> 00:25:07,590 called Huisin Malik. The unusual formation extends over 400 feet into the 350 00:25:07,750 --> 00:25:12,730 And incredibly, the rock used to construct Nan Madol appears to have been 351 00:25:12,730 --> 00:25:17,030 extracted from the least accessible part of the mountain, the very top. 352 00:25:17,670 --> 00:25:18,670 But how? 353 00:25:19,370 --> 00:25:23,970 According to the oral history of Pompeii, the basalt was taken by what 354 00:25:23,970 --> 00:25:26,350 natives referred to as a giant bird. 355 00:25:27,190 --> 00:25:32,030 There's one story that says that at some point there were these giant roosters 356 00:25:32,030 --> 00:25:38,950 that lived on top of that mountain, and this rooster took these basalt 357 00:25:38,950 --> 00:25:42,410 blocks and flew them over to Nan Madol. 358 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:48,880 Now, monster roosters do not exist, so my mind always goes to misunderstood 359 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:55,120 technology machines that were provided by the extraterrestrials. 360 00:25:57,300 --> 00:26:03,160 I believe that the islanders are correct when they say all those stones were 361 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:09,200 flown through the air because I can't see how it was done in any other way. 362 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,250 As far as ancient astronaut theorists, are concerned. 363 00:26:14,510 --> 00:26:19,390 The local legends, along with hard evidence that basalt appears to have 364 00:26:19,390 --> 00:26:24,550 excavated from the top of Fuis and Malik, add credence to the idea that 365 00:26:24,550 --> 00:26:28,270 alien technology was used in the construction of Nan Madal. 366 00:26:28,670 --> 00:26:33,990 And to help prove their theory, Giorgio Tsoukalos and David Childress, along 367 00:26:33,990 --> 00:26:39,230 with structural engineer Dr. Henry Burton, traveled 25 miles across the 368 00:26:39,230 --> 00:26:42,510 to visit the nearest basalt quarry. Man. 369 00:26:42,730 --> 00:26:43,770 Look at this. 370 00:26:44,130 --> 00:26:45,390 Wow. What a quarry. 371 00:26:46,310 --> 00:26:50,190 So how does one free the basalt from this wall? 372 00:26:50,630 --> 00:26:54,490 Yeah, no, it would certainly require some specialized tools, some type of 373 00:26:54,490 --> 00:26:58,030 excavator, some type of drill tip. And once you start taking rocks off, 374 00:26:58,170 --> 00:27:02,710 depending on how much room you have to drive things up, depending on the size 375 00:27:02,710 --> 00:27:05,290 the blocks, you might need a crane to sort of move things around. 376 00:27:05,630 --> 00:27:08,590 You would need some type of machinery to be able to do that today. 377 00:27:09,360 --> 00:27:13,900 How did people from at least a thousand years ago remove these blocks? 378 00:27:14,700 --> 00:27:21,660 from this quarry. They had to somehow pry these columns out of the cliff 379 00:27:21,660 --> 00:27:26,860 and, you know, remove them so that they would be, yeah, a standalone piece of 380 00:27:26,860 --> 00:27:32,080 prismatic basalt and then move it, millions of tons of it. I would think 381 00:27:32,100 --> 00:27:38,120 yeah, there was very much a special survey done of this island looking for 382 00:27:38,120 --> 00:27:42,460 material that could be used to build. Right. And I would say that an aerial 383 00:27:42,460 --> 00:27:46,530 survey would accomplish all that. All of that? Yes, yes, or any type of, you 384 00:27:46,530 --> 00:27:51,990 know, advanced radar technology that, in my opinion, existed with the 385 00:27:51,990 --> 00:27:53,230 extraterrestrials at the time. 386 00:27:55,610 --> 00:28:01,110 For Giorgio and David, the more they learn about non -Midal, from the weight 387 00:28:01,110 --> 00:28:06,330 the basalt columns, to the distance they had to be transported, to the tools 388 00:28:06,330 --> 00:28:10,690 that would be needed to quarry the rock, the more difficult it becomes to 389 00:28:10,690 --> 00:28:12,450 explain how all of this... 390 00:28:12,650 --> 00:28:16,450 could have been accomplished without the help of advanced extraterrestrial 391 00:28:16,450 --> 00:28:17,450 technology. 392 00:28:17,950 --> 00:28:23,210 Nevertheless, according to the oral history of Pompeii, the most compelling 393 00:28:23,210 --> 00:28:28,350 evidence cannot be found by examining the megalithic structures themselves, 394 00:28:28,350 --> 00:28:30,050 what lies beneath them. 395 00:28:39,820 --> 00:28:44,520 In search of further clues to help solve the mystery of Nan Madal, David 396 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:48,940 Childress and Giorgio Tsoukalos meet up once again with historical preservation 397 00:28:48,940 --> 00:28:50,760 officer Gus Kohler. 398 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:52,680 You guys ready for a trip? 399 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:58,340 Yeah. Gus has provided access and underwater drones so they can get an 400 00:28:58,340 --> 00:29:01,260 additional perspective on the ruins of Nan Madal. 401 00:29:01,980 --> 00:29:07,280 With their drone operator, Ross Conklin, David and Giorgio head out towards an 402 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,700 area where it has been reported... that there are a number of incredible 403 00:29:10,700 --> 00:29:13,360 structures that lie hidden under the water. 404 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:19,220 Structures that some believe are part of an incredibly ancient submerged city 405 00:29:19,220 --> 00:29:20,660 called Canemueso. 406 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:30,360 According to oral history, Nan Madol is supposedly built above Can Moiso. And 407 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,000 it's deep under the water. 408 00:29:32,300 --> 00:29:33,940 It's another city. 409 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,860 It's another city. It's different than Nan Madol. It's a second city. Could it 410 00:29:37,860 --> 00:29:43,860 be that the coral reef itself is that city and the coral's grown over it? 411 00:29:44,060 --> 00:29:45,060 It's very possible. 412 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:51,440 After a short trip across the shoreline, the team arrives at their destination. 413 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:57,760 So when you were scuba diving here about 30 years ago, you saw basalt columns 414 00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,240 encrusted in coral. 415 00:29:59,500 --> 00:30:04,660 That's what we think. We think they're basalt column. We don't know. So 416 00:30:04,660 --> 00:30:10,770 that... correlate with an extreme age if you have columns, you know, encrusted 417 00:30:10,770 --> 00:30:15,650 in carbon? It would have been, I mean, it's about 80 feet deep or so, and it 418 00:30:15,650 --> 00:30:20,270 would mean that the ocean levels were 80 feet lower than they are today, 419 00:30:20,350 --> 00:30:24,110 whenever they built that. Right, and that would mean that we're talking 12 420 00:30:24,110 --> 00:30:29,870 years ago, at least. Like the last ice age. Right. So, yeah, the city would be 421 00:30:29,870 --> 00:30:32,610 12 ,000 years old or older. 422 00:30:34,830 --> 00:30:36,750 12 ,000 years old? 423 00:30:37,290 --> 00:30:42,490 Is it possible that extraterrestrials were not only responsible for 424 00:30:42,490 --> 00:30:47,350 the incredible non -middle complex, but also an earlier structure that is now 425 00:30:47,350 --> 00:30:51,150 beneath the water, and that they are still accessing to this day? 426 00:30:54,150 --> 00:30:59,750 In many ancient texts, there can be found accounts of a great flood wiping 427 00:30:59,750 --> 00:31:05,430 previous civilization of humans, such as in the Sumerian epic, of Gilgamesh, the 428 00:31:05,430 --> 00:31:11,330 Egyptian Edu creation texts, the Vedic texts of India, and the Bible's book of 429 00:31:11,330 --> 00:31:17,350 Genesis. Today, more and more scientific evidence is emerging to suggest that 430 00:31:17,350 --> 00:31:21,710 such a cataclysm may actually have happened around the end of the last ice 431 00:31:21,910 --> 00:31:26,830 12 ,000 years ago, when sea levels were 400 feet lower. 432 00:31:27,510 --> 00:31:33,530 Is it possible that Nan Madal was built that long ago by a now forgotten Pre 433 00:31:33,530 --> 00:31:34,530 -flood civilization. 434 00:31:34,890 --> 00:31:38,310 The builders of Namadol were a very advanced civilization. 435 00:31:38,830 --> 00:31:42,890 So whether these people originated on the island or as tradition states, they 436 00:31:42,890 --> 00:31:44,030 came from other areas. 437 00:31:44,410 --> 00:31:48,950 It may have been an inheritance from the lost city that was actually underwater 438 00:31:48,950 --> 00:31:50,750 that Namadol was built upon. 439 00:31:52,890 --> 00:31:55,970 The team prepares to launch an underwater drone. 440 00:31:56,490 --> 00:31:58,230 This will be the first time. 441 00:31:58,620 --> 00:32:01,260 that the ruins have ever been explored in this way. 442 00:32:01,540 --> 00:32:05,880 All right, so Gus, I'm going to ask you for a hand with the table, just to 443 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,020 wrangle it. Okay. 444 00:32:07,260 --> 00:32:08,260 Watch mode. 445 00:32:08,820 --> 00:32:09,820 Boom. 446 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:11,080 All right. 447 00:32:11,460 --> 00:32:13,620 So you just kind of drop it. 448 00:32:14,100 --> 00:32:16,000 Yep, there it is. All right. 449 00:32:18,860 --> 00:32:20,160 All right, now we're moving. 450 00:32:22,140 --> 00:32:23,140 Cool. 451 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:25,940 A little bit of an image. 452 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:27,840 Ooh, yeah, look at that. 453 00:32:30,700 --> 00:32:32,100 Open ocean, open ocean. 454 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:34,940 We'd be getting close to the wall. 455 00:32:35,500 --> 00:32:37,920 Wow, cool. So let me drop down. 456 00:32:40,780 --> 00:32:42,660 And there we start to see the wall again. 457 00:32:43,540 --> 00:32:44,540 Now, 458 00:32:46,460 --> 00:32:48,200 it's disconnected there for a second. 459 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:49,820 And it's connected. 460 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:56,190 Curiously, the image being relayed by the drone... continues to cut out every 461 00:32:56,190 --> 00:33:01,050 time it starts to get close to what appears to be an underwater wall of 462 00:33:01,050 --> 00:33:02,050 columns. 463 00:33:03,810 --> 00:33:10,350 It keeps disconnecting. The drone Ross is using tested perfectly just one day 464 00:33:10,350 --> 00:33:14,050 earlier and in an area that was also rich in basalt. 465 00:33:14,390 --> 00:33:19,870 So he is genuinely baffled as to why it is now malfunctioning. I think what we 466 00:33:19,870 --> 00:33:23,590 should do is reel this one back in. I have another underwater drone. 467 00:33:24,110 --> 00:33:27,830 We'll give that one a try, and we'll just go straight for that wall. 468 00:33:28,290 --> 00:33:29,790 Okay. Fingers crossed. 469 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:58,740 along with historic preservation officer Gus Kohler and drone operator Ross 470 00:33:58,740 --> 00:34:02,480 Conklin, have just experienced a mysterious setback. 471 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:07,120 The submersible drone they deployed suddenly stopped working. 472 00:34:07,900 --> 00:34:10,960 Fortunately, Ross came prepared with a backup. 473 00:34:12,580 --> 00:34:15,659 All right, so I'm heading right for that corner over there. 474 00:34:24,810 --> 00:34:25,810 Okay, disconnected. 475 00:34:26,150 --> 00:34:30,989 Yep, okay, disconnected. Wow. So as soon as you get close to those stones, it 476 00:34:30,989 --> 00:34:36,550 disconnects. So I'm just right below the surface, and as soon as I try and drop. 477 00:34:36,730 --> 00:34:40,610 This is now our second one now. Yeah, now it's doing it to both. That's so 478 00:34:40,610 --> 00:34:41,610 strange. 479 00:34:43,370 --> 00:34:46,969 Curiously, the second drone has also malfunctioned. 480 00:34:47,330 --> 00:34:51,770 Could the stone materials have something to do with it? Both underwater drones 481 00:34:51,770 --> 00:34:54,130 worked on the north side of the island. 482 00:34:54,429 --> 00:35:01,210 The day before. And then we came to the area of Nan Madol and outside, only 483 00:35:01,210 --> 00:35:07,230 a few feet away from Nan Madol, those machines no longer worked. It's as if 484 00:35:07,230 --> 00:35:12,870 something or someone was interfering with the devices. So it's very strange 485 00:35:12,870 --> 00:35:19,490 think that maybe somehow those basalt blocks have been magnetized. And if that 486 00:35:19,490 --> 00:35:21,950 is the case, what were they exposed to? 487 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:27,000 that they are now apparently magnetized, as some people have suggested. 488 00:35:28,740 --> 00:35:33,940 People see light in this city at night. They see lights moving around, and that 489 00:35:33,940 --> 00:35:39,500 may be because the whole city is magnetic, and it's some kind of 490 00:35:39,500 --> 00:35:42,900 phenomenon that's coming from the rocks themselves. 491 00:35:43,340 --> 00:35:44,138 Right. 492 00:35:44,140 --> 00:35:50,060 Oceanic basalt, like that found at Nan Madal, is ferromagnetic, meaning that 493 00:35:50,060 --> 00:35:54,830 when exposed to a magnetic charge, it becomes magnetically charged itself. 494 00:35:55,450 --> 00:36:00,210 Rocks really have three basic effects on magnetic fields. They either have no 495 00:36:00,210 --> 00:36:04,190 effect, so the magnetic field stays kind of straight. They can effectively repel 496 00:36:04,190 --> 00:36:05,590 magnetic fields or attract them. 497 00:36:06,710 --> 00:36:09,390 Rocks have it. Rock enhances the magnetic field. 498 00:36:12,110 --> 00:36:16,910 The natives say that the stones all flew across the island. 499 00:36:17,210 --> 00:36:20,070 And if that was the case, then... 500 00:36:20,540 --> 00:36:27,480 Some magnetic energy was put onto the stones, levitated them, they 501 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:32,980 put them into place, and that energy is still there in a residual manner. And 502 00:36:32,980 --> 00:36:38,600 that is why the drones wouldn't work there, because there's still this energy 503 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,120 that was used to levitate the stones. 504 00:36:41,850 --> 00:36:48,390 If they flew these stones through the air, if they're using some anti -gravity 505 00:36:48,390 --> 00:36:52,410 technology, they would then be magnetized. 506 00:36:53,030 --> 00:36:57,570 Clearly it has something to do with the structure. It's highly unlikely that two 507 00:36:57,570 --> 00:37:01,070 pieces of equipment are malfunctioning all at the same time. 508 00:37:02,410 --> 00:37:07,950 If the legend of Nan Madal is true, and it was constructed by otherworldly 509 00:37:07,950 --> 00:37:09,690 visitors using levitation technology, 510 00:37:10,590 --> 00:37:11,850 What was it built for? 511 00:37:12,750 --> 00:37:17,690 Why would anybody have to create artificial land or islands back in the 512 00:37:18,130 --> 00:37:23,330 Especially with a sizable island right here. Right here. But think of Venice in 513 00:37:23,330 --> 00:37:27,330 Italy. It's a port city. It has canals. It's very much for boats. 514 00:37:27,530 --> 00:37:32,570 To me, it's a giant naval base here for huge ships. And those ships were coming 515 00:37:32,570 --> 00:37:36,330 out of Southeast Asia into the vast Pacific. 516 00:37:37,050 --> 00:37:38,610 And they would meet here. 517 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:44,200 And then they would go on to other islands and then to Mexico and to 518 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:45,200 and Peru. 519 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:51,280 But then also it's airships and high technology. Right. 520 00:37:53,740 --> 00:37:59,300 I don't think that naval traffic and airship traffic are necessarily 521 00:37:59,300 --> 00:38:03,340 of each other. And it would seem that, you know, it's a combination of both. 522 00:38:03,500 --> 00:38:07,640 They were using it as a stepping stone, going out to other Pacific islands where 523 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,100 other megaliths and pyramids and things were built. 524 00:38:11,620 --> 00:38:15,660 Was non -Midala port for an advanced pre -flood civilization? 525 00:38:16,820 --> 00:38:22,500 As far as David Childress is concerned, it was not only a port, but one. 526 00:38:22,810 --> 00:38:27,450 with an extraordinary origin, and he believes the most important evidence to 527 00:38:27,450 --> 00:38:33,390 support his theory can be found by examining the basalt stone used to build 528 00:38:33,390 --> 00:38:34,390 massive complex. 529 00:38:40,930 --> 00:38:46,770 For more than three decades, ancient astronaut theorist David Shomrus has 530 00:38:46,770 --> 00:38:48,150 studying Nan Madal. 531 00:38:48,770 --> 00:38:53,460 Over the years, He has entertained dozens of theories as to how it was 532 00:38:53,460 --> 00:38:54,820 constructed and why. 533 00:38:55,620 --> 00:39:00,320 Based on what he has learned over the course of his latest investigation, he 534 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:05,100 now more convinced than ever that it was built either by or with the help from 535 00:39:05,100 --> 00:39:07,060 extraterrestrial visitors. 536 00:39:07,580 --> 00:39:12,860 He is also convinced that the complex was built with basalt rock because of 537 00:39:12,860 --> 00:39:14,240 electromagnetic properties. 538 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:19,490 Properties? that would make it possible to levitate the large megaton stones 539 00:39:19,490 --> 00:39:20,510 into place. 540 00:39:22,250 --> 00:39:28,370 Namadol is built out of millions and millions of tons of basalt, which is 541 00:39:28,370 --> 00:39:34,010 magnetic. And perhaps this is something that extraterrestrials can manipulate, 542 00:39:34,210 --> 00:39:40,150 use for themselves, even it could possibly help power their spaceships and 543 00:39:40,150 --> 00:39:41,150 things. 544 00:39:41,930 --> 00:39:43,390 Namadol, for sure. 545 00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:50,560 had to have been built when the worldwide water levels were much much 546 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:57,080 that according to science was between 11 and 20 000 years ago so 547 00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:03,740 right there we have physical evidence of a site that in my opinion was built in 548 00:40:03,740 --> 00:40:08,480 prehistory when you find evidence deep under the water 549 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:13,960 potentially goes back tens of thousands of years in a very important part of the 550 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:19,640 pacific it does raise the question is there a much earlier epoch to Namadol 551 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:26,300 people realize the incredible site of Namadol looks like it was part of a 552 00:40:26,300 --> 00:40:29,860 culture that existed throughout the pacific and probably beyond 553 00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:34,760 we find evidence of similar construction at gunan padang which potentially goes 554 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:40,960 back 20 000 years we find similar basalt columns at olmec sites in ancient 555 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:46,280 mexico and these builders may have been influencing the pyramids constructions 556 00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:52,220 in ancient mexico all these indicators of an ancient lost civilization in the 557 00:40:52,220 --> 00:40:53,220 pacific 558 00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:59,300 There's no doubt in my mind that the engineering knowledge for Nan Madol came 559 00:40:59,300 --> 00:41:04,680 from the extraterrestrials. I have seen megalithic structures around the world, 560 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:09,760 but this one is one of the few that absolutely defies logic. 561 00:41:10,180 --> 00:41:15,720 I would categorize Nan Madol in the same category like the Great Pyramid of 562 00:41:15,720 --> 00:41:21,080 Egypt and also Puma Punku. And you have to ask yourself, is there a connection? 563 00:41:21,770 --> 00:41:24,550 And the answer to that is a resounding yes. 564 00:41:25,690 --> 00:41:31,630 Do the incredible megalithic constructions at Non -Midal provide 565 00:41:31,630 --> 00:41:36,910 mankind has only begun to scratch the surface of an alien presence on planet 566 00:41:36,910 --> 00:41:41,530 Earth, one that dates back tens of thousands of years? 567 00:41:42,310 --> 00:41:48,170 As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, the answer is a profound 568 00:41:48,170 --> 00:41:54,170 yes. And they are also convinced that further investigations will not only 569 00:41:54,170 --> 00:41:58,810 that extraterrestrials have revealed themselves to humanity at different 570 00:41:58,810 --> 00:42:04,030 throughout history, but that we are about to be visited by these same alien 571 00:42:04,030 --> 00:42:06,110 visitors again. 51787
