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.
