A mysterious underground temple that holds gigantic stone coffins. It's

humongous. You can walk underneath it.

Ancient engineering feats far ahead of their time.

Someone or someone.

had extraordinary knowledge here. This is not easy to build. No.

On ancient aliens, we've traveled to many mysterious sites that seem to defy

explanation.

Now, we take a look back at some of the most incredible structures we've visited

all over the world.

Structures that, according to ancient astronaut theorists, provide undeniable

evidence of extraterrestrial contact.

On ancient aliens, we have traveled to some of the most incredible structures

the planet, structures that offer compelling evidence that our ancestors

visited by extraterrestrials.

And some of the world's most extraordinary examples can be found in

Egypt, like the Great Sphinx, the pyramids of Giza, and the Luxor Temple.

But Egypt is also home to a site that a lot of people don't even know about, and

one I think is amazing, the Serapium of Saqqara. And when I went to see it in

person with Egyptologist Rami Roumani, it absolutely blew my mind.

Saqqara, Egypt, 1850.

While on an expedition to recover ancient manuscripts for the Louvre

Paris, French Egyptologist Auguste Mariette spots a strange object sticking

of the sand.

Intrigued, Mariette has the sand cleared away and finds large rocks blocking

what looks to be the entrance to an underground chamber.

After using explosives to remove them, he gains entrance to a tomb complex,

known as the Serapium.

In April 2018,

Ancient astronaut theorist Giorgio Souklos and Egyptologist and Cairo

Rami Rahmani visited this mysterious site.

The Serapium of Saqqara, Giorgio.

Magnificent. The name Serapium comes from Serapis, which is Apis bull and

Osiris combined together in one Greek god.

Located deep beneath the desert surface, lies a 790 -foot -long passageway.

There, within a series of alcoves, neatly carved out of the limestone rock,

24 gigantic stone sarcophagi.

Each sarcophagus measures approximately 13 feet long, seven and a half feet

wide, and over 10 feet tall.

But just how the ancient Egyptians managed to transport these massive

boxes remains unknown.

as does their intended purpose.

So this is one of the most mysterious places in all of Egypt, Giorgio. Look

how far all this goes.

The boxes themselves are, what, 70 to 75 tons?

And then the lids are estimated to be 20 to 25 tons.

It's one of the most mysterious things about this place is...

really how they managed to bring these heavy structures all the way down

here when we're breathing heavily just to get to the end.

Can we actually go down to some of these? Of course we can.

Wow. You know, I've always read about these. I've seen pictures, but it's

humongous. You can walk underneath it.

As far as conventional Egyptologists and archaeologists are concerned, the

sarcophagi were meant to house the remains of the sacred Apis Ball.

But as only one of the tombs was found to contain animal remains, and all the

others were found empty, the true nature of the Serapium is a source of deep

contention.

The Apis Ball is a representation for God Osiris. And there's something very

important to mention.

Ancient Egyptians did not worship animals.

Their concept was the gods send the animals to be their messengers, and we

to respect them in that way.

It was said that the first ever Apis bowl was created when a ray of light

came down from heaven itself and struck this cow who produced the

first Apis bowl.

So there is some relationship between the bullet itself and the stars.

The sides and also here at the bottom, the polishing is perfect.

And we can illustrate this by just looking at the angle.

I mean, it's a perfect 90 -degree angle.

Check this out. It is absolute perfection.

It's easy to cut limestone, but to cut basalt...

That's a different story.

What do these inscriptions here say?

These inscriptions were extremely important.

You see the doors, specifically the so -called false doors.

They were the doors that allowed the spirit, the ka and the ba, the spirit

the soul, to come out from the mummy and then read the hieroglyphic inscription.

They wanted to make sure that these apis poles come back to life.

go to eternity so they could stay with Osiris in the sky.

Ancient historians' accounts like Herodotus, Strabo, Eusebius, all of

these old, old chroniclers speak of a former glory age of Egypt known as the

Golden Age, which some have suggested dates back as far as 10 ,500 BC.

So is it possible that what we have right here may be a remnant of that

time? When it comes to dating, I don't have a response.

I can't tell you for a fact that this was made 3 ,000 years ago. Till today,

there's a debate on when were these made.

Egypt's golden age was a time when humans are said to have shared the earth

the gods.

Gods that, according to the ancient astronaut theory, were not mythological

figures, but extraterrestrial visitors.

And there are those who believe that the figure of the Apis Ball can be found

carved into one of the sarcophagi, not because these giant stone coffins held

mummified balls, but because the Apis Ball represented a connection to the

stars.

It is a fact that when most of the gigantic sarcophagi were opened, nothing

inside them.

And in my opinion, I think that this acted as some kind of otherworldly

environment for communication with the cosmos itself.

And that the balls simply represented the points of contact with

the cosmic beings themselves.

It doesn't make sense that these were built for mummified bulls. First of all,

they're too big for the bulls.

They're beyond human scale. In order for a human to get into them, you would

first have to remove the 15 to 20 ton lid that was placed on top of these

and then climb up a ladder to get into them.

Is it possible that what we're looking at here is an extraterrestrial

that was used thousands of years ago in ancient Egypt?

What could possibly be the purpose of these boxes? What function did they

It's an incredible question.

Is it possible that the mass of sarcophagi contained within the Serapium

Saqqara were constructed more than 10 ,000 years ago during a period?

when extraterrestrials inhabited the Earth.

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and suggest an even more direct ET

connection can be found by exploring the prehistoric megaliths of Japan.

Some of the most incredible structures that have me convinced that we've been

visited by extraterrestrials are the ones that look just like flying craft.

And when I went to Japan, I had the honor to see two ancient stone carvings

are believed to represent flying ships witnessed by the people who lived there

thousands of years ago.

Honshu, Japan, April 2017.

Near the modern -day city of Osaka,

Giorgio Tsoukalos meets with fellow ancient astronaut theorist Takaharo

to investigate one of the oldest... and holiest sites in the country.

The Ishinohoden megalith is a giant stone monument carved out of the bedrock

the mountainside and is believed by some researchers to date back an astonishing

16 ,000 years.

Wow.

It's gigantic.

This is... I have no idea.

I mean, it is massive.

The rock itself is said to weigh about 500 tons.

500 tons?

Yeah. Wow.

Okay. That's amazing.

I need to walk around.

Very weird.

I mean, I had no idea how massive this is.

Do you want to just look down below here?

It looks like it's floating over the water.

It really does.

The name for this rock is the floating rock from the heavens.

so this monolith is said to be related to one of the first gods that descended

from the heavens to japan and he is said to have traveled over the country on a

sky ship made out of a giant rock which was called amano iwakune which is the

heavenly rock ship so what you're telling me is that there is an ancient

japanese legend that speaks of a deity flying around in the sky with a gigantic

Absolutely.

So do you think that is the reason why it was called a vehicle made of stone?

Because it was so powerful and strong and virtually indestructible that the

story became it's a vehicle made of stone.

You're absolutely right, because the gods were flying over the land on a

ship. It wasn't a plane because it didn't have wings. It looked like a ship

out of very hard material that was like a very hard stone, and they would

descend from the heavens and down onto the land, and thus they would travel

around the country.

It's absolutely impressive.

To me, the Ishinohoden Megalith was an attempt by our ancestors to document an

extraterrestrial visitation. And they chose this incredibly hard stone as a

to represent the color and indestructible nature of the craft they

sky. As if this wasn't proof enough of alien contact, during my trip to Japan,

investigated another ancient site with an almost identical legend.

Asuka Park, Japan, April 2017.

Does that say rock ship?

That's a rock ship. Oh, all right.

Giorgio Suclos and ancient astronaut theorist Takaharo Mikami set out to

Masuda no Iwafune, an 800 -ton rock structure that was carved from a single

piece of granite and resembles no other architecture in Japan.

Check out this square grid on the side. I mean, this is something that I've seen

before in India, in Mahabalipuram, where they have the same mythologies of

celestial beings, and they had something very similar on the side of some of

their rocks as well.

I can't wait to see the top.

Amazing.

Oh, man.

Whoa.

Wow, that is... I mean, I've never seen anything like it.

While some researchers believe the Masuda no Iwafuni megalith is a tomb,

others claim it is meant to depict the skyboats that are described in ancient

Japanese stories.

So the idea is that this was the entrance to a Buddhist temple. What do

mean by that? Inside, I mean, where?

It would actually predate Buddhism in Japan, so it wouldn't have anything to

with Buddhist temples.

Right. So what is the actual translation of Matsuda no Iwafune?

Matsuda is the name of a region, and Iwafune literally means

stone ship or a rock ship.

Okay.

Yes, naturally the Iwafune or the rock ship would have come down from the

heavens as a vehicle for the gods to descend upon earth.

So I guess with the combination of the mythologies of celestial beings, this

could be some type of representation of one of those flying vehicles that our

ancestors perhaps witnessed.

Could the massive stone monuments both in Asuka Park and in Honshu have been

inspired by encounters with extraterrestrial craft descending from

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and they believe that further proof of

otherworldly contact in the distant past can be found halfway around the world

at a mysterious megalithic site high in the Andes Mountains.

Many of the incredible structures found around the world were built with stone

blocks so massive it seems impossible that they could have been moved without

advanced technology.

But for me, the site of Puma Punku in Bolivia is the most astounding of all

because not only are the stones megalithic, they're carved with a

we would have a hard time replicating even with modern tools.

Bolivia. South America.

Here, 45 miles west of La Paz, isolated high in the Andes Mountains,

lie the mysterious ancient ruin of Pumapunku.

Spread across a desert plateau at an altitude of over 12 ,000 feet, the

megalithic stones found here are among the largest on the planet.

Some measuring up to 26 feet long and weighing more than 100 tons.

What you have here are massive blocks scattered like some kid's

toy blocks around the site.

It's like some giant cataclysm just wiped out this entire area.

Archaeologists are baffled by what Puma Punku was, how it looked.

and what the purpose of this enormous structure would have been.

One of the amazing things here at Pumapunku is the precision of the

You can see with this block that it's really been cut at very accurate right

angles.

Not only do these blocks have precision corners, but they also have these...

difficult drill holes that are going right through the rock.

In January 2011, ancient astronaut theorist David Childress and author

Brian Forster gained unprecedented access to investigate this incredible

You know, Brian, this is one of the most interesting and unusual stones here at

Pumapunku. It's got these perfect right angles.

And each of these small drill holes are basically evenly spaced along

this routered groove.

To me, it's clear that power tools have been used on this unusual block of

stone. Well, exactly.

And this surface is as smooth as the tabletop, like in your kitchen. There's

wave to it or anything. This was machined.

But who machined it?

It's an astonishing piece of work in how anyone could think that primitive human

beings could have done this.

You know, it's just crazy. If anything looks like ancient aliens, it's this

stone.

What did the ancients use to cut these stones so precisely?

Might evidence of advanced technology be found by further study of the

construction of the Pumapunku stones?

Ancient astronaut theorists, Say yes, and point to what they call H -blocks.

It seems like every one of these H -blocks is exactly the same, so it's

prefabrication process where they needed X hundred of these, and whatever

machinery it is that they had was able, with amazing accuracy, to replicate one

after another after another.

It seems as though...

Some kind of factory was set up there to make these almost exactly the same.

It's almost like a Lego system of interconnecting blocks.

And that is unique on this earth.

It's an ingenious way of building a huge wall.

And again, the whole thing is just so incredibly precise.

Doing these kind of inside corners like this.

This just can't be done, really, with copper chisels and stone hammers. The

whole thing is just so incredibly high -tech, even beyond what we would

do today.

We don't really know the age of Pumapunku.

Archaeologists have come up with wildly different ages, starting with

early... excavations here thinking the pumapunku was up to 20 000 years old

but the kind of machinery that would need to be used to articulate and cut

blocks would be giant diamond thaws with huge blades powerful routers

even possibly we're talking about plasma cutters and melting of stone

something that is only being worked on today by modern scientists.

According to the local Aymara people, who have inhabited this region for

centuries,

Pumapunku was built in a single day, and not by humans, but by the sky gods.

They say the gods constructed the place in one night.

This makes sense.

You have an extraterrestrial crew, they come down to Earth.

So they construct with their tools just something which we would call today the

basic cannon.

When you look at the complexity of Pumapunku, the huge platform, the

interlocking blocks that were made into what they thought were indestructible

walls, what you could have is the kind of perfectly

made... that extraterrestrials would want.

Might the ancient city of Pumapunku really have been built by alien beings,

ancient astronaut theorists contend?

If so, what happened to these massive, seemingly indestructible structures?

One possibility is that Pumapunku was destroyed in some artificial...

glass that literally blew the building apart.

So much of it is not simply broken. It's shattered to the point where you can

find little tiny pieces of diorite anywhere you look.

And that looks to me like an explosion happened.

At the end of its use, they may have simply blown it up because they didn't

anyone to use the technology that they had left behind.

Precision stonework.

unparalleled engineering, and incomprehensible destruction.

Is it possible that Kumapunku was a point of extraterrestrial contact in the

distant past?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and suggest further evidence of alien

engineering can be found on a small island in the Mediterranean that is home

extraordinary stone structures.

One of the most incredible structures that I've ever seen is on the Italian

island of Sardinia.

This Mediterranean island has thousands of mysterious stone towers, bizarre

statues and even an ancient pyramid.

But what was most amazing to me was the Well of Santa Cristina. It features

stonework so precise that there is no way it could have been built without

advanced engineering knowledge.

Sardinia, Italy, May 2018.

Oak Island treasure hunter Marty Lagina has invited Giorgio Suclos to help him

explore Sardinia's mysterious structures and offer his unique perspective.

Local guide Ivana Malu has taken them to the well of Santa Cristina, an ancient

structure believed to have been built sometime around 1800 BC.

They are met by archaeoastronomer Moro Pepino Zeta.

Now, wait a minute, wait a minute.

These are modern, right? This is reproduction. No, no, I mean it. I know,

know. This is reproduction.

That's what people say. When they hear this, they say, oh, Ivana, that's a

What is that? Can you imagine the well is 3 ,000 years old? No, honestly, these

are the original stones.

Really? Believe me. Wow.

100%. That is built to last for the eternity.

Well, this is spectacular.

The well of Santa Cristina demonstrates such incredible masonry skill.

that archaeologists struggle to explain how it was built by so -called primitive

people.

Based on his years of research, Giorgio believes that the stonework may provide

important clues for the theory that a race of extraterrestrial giants once

inhabited the island.

Do you want to touch with your hand the sophistication of the wall?

Yes. Here we go.

Unbelievable.

Look at this. It is round.

It's a perfect circle.

You can't put a piece of paper. There's no mortar used to put this stuff

together. I mean, it's incredible.

Not only is it constructed beautifully, the foundation is below the water

table. That's very hard to do. I can tell you from Oak Island, working the

is difficult.

This is spectacular.

Santa Cristina Holy Well is one of the most important sites in Sardinia.

It's part of a nuragic settlement that dates back to 1500 BC with nuraghi

towers, menhirs, standing stones and everything else there. But the most

interesting part of that is this very sophisticated well. It's the most

precision carved stonework I've seen in all of the Mediterranean, really.

It's almost like it was built by the Egyptians or the Peruvian stonemasons.

so advanced.

It's very fascinating.

The walls around here, any child can do this. You don't need any sophisticated

technology to do this. But that in there, especially if you think that

no written record.

How was this preconceived?

Somebody had to think about it.

Clearly, there's two type of builders that were present there because you have

the well, which is absolute perfect stonemasonry, and then you have the

around it that clearly were created by a later culture because it's not

sophisticated at all. It's just a bunch of stones thrown together.

Yet the well that goes deep into the ground, it is unlike anything that I've

ever seen.

The question is, there was no written language. How was this planned? Because

you look at this from above, it's this keyhole shape, and that to me is

fascinating.

I have not seen anything quite like this, okay? I'm literally wowed by this.

Clearly, someone told the local people how to place these stones into different

areas.

Because it was a connection to the celestial realm. So you're surmising the

technology was given to these people. The engineering knowledge.

Because this screams mathematics. Yes, it does. I will certainly concur to this

extent. Someone or someone had extraordinary knowledge here. This is

build. No.

Is it possible?

that someone gave the ancient Sardinians highly advanced engineering knowledge,

and that that knowledge was passed down generation by generation for thousands

of years.

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and point to another structure in mainland

Italy said to have been built under the direction of a god.

Any discussion about incredible structures has to include Cyclopean

architecture.

This construction style, where massive stone blocks known as megaliths are fit

together like puzzle pieces, can be found all over the ancient world.

And when I visited Italy, I saw one of the most incredible examples of this

extraordinary architecture at the megalithic walls of Ferentino.

Ferentino, Italy.

June 2019.

Ancient astronaut theorist Giorgio Suclos is in the heart of the Italian

peninsula, about 50 miles southeast of Rome.

This area of Italy, known as Latium, was considered the epicenter of the Roman

civilization.

Giorgio is eager to investigate the ancient city's massive megalithic walls.

considered to be some of the finest constructions in Italy.

Welcome to Italy and to Ciociaria. Thank you. For expert insight, he has called

upon local historian Danila Ricalia.

This is beautiful. What can you tell me about this area?

Ferentino, where we are today, is actually known for this construction of

megalithic wall, founded according to the tradition by God Saturn.

Okay. This is fascinating to me because this is one of the reasons why I'm here.

What can you tell me about the mythologies of Saturn in this area here?

So the five cities of Saturn are all a few kilometers one from another.

And the tradition says, you know, the towns were founded by Saturn and the

Titans.

In Greek mythology, the Titans were human -like gods of enormous stature who

were eventually overthrown by their children, the Olympians.

Saturn is the Roman name for the Titan Cronus, who is said to have reigned as

earthly king alongside Janus during a golden age when the gods walked among

humans.

Could it be that Saturn and the Titans actually existed on Earth and were

responsible for helping to construct the megalithic structures found throughout

the Mediterranean?

So Danila, where are we right now? So this is one of the entrance gates to the

town, and here is actually a perfect point where you can understand the

stratification of the time.

You see the huge block from the pre -Roman time, then more blocks

built in the Roman time, and finally the Middle Age on top.

So basically you can see the megalithic structure, then the Roman, and then

medieval age. Exactly.

And it's like reading a history book.

Because here it's evident that people lived here for thousands of years, and

then they had different techniques of construction.

Some of them, like the megalithic constructions, are lost, so we don't

exactly when they were built.

Which is, in a strange way, a contradiction.

Because in ancient times, what we're told is that not much technology

So in order to move blocks like this and put them together was an incredible

accomplishment. Because it's kind of understandable how those blocks were

And of course, the smaller blocks at the very top, it's not even a question.

Logic would dictate that at first they begin with the smaller blocks and then

over time maybe use bigger blocks. But it's the opposite way.

So it's, to me, somewhat of a mystery.

Do

you

know if all these five cities of Saturn...

have the cyclopean walls?

Yes, they have this wall, megalithic, so huge stones, and some of them are

better preserved than others.

Cyclopean walls consist of enormous stone blocks stacked together without

use of mortar.

I mean, this is incredible, and this region is not the only place that has

walls. For example, we have them also in Greece.

What's even more fascinating is that we have similar walls on the other side of

the world in Sacsayhuaman, Peru.

You see these different blocks not only in Sacsayhuaman. You see them, for

example, in Abydos.

Abydos is in Egypt. You see a wall. You could think we are standing in Peru, but

Abydos is in Egypt.

You see it on Easter Island, which means to me the same teachers.

The idea that this unusual construction, using giant blocks of stone that are

weighing up to 200 tons, would be individually developed at each of these

is virtually impossible.

So some architect and designer and engineer developed this technique,

and now it's being used literally all over the world.

Who is that designer? Who is that engineer who came up with this

megalithic construction technique?

Is it extraterrestrials?

From completely opposite sides of the planet, we have similar, if not

construction styles.

According to the ancient astronaut theory, Saturn was one of the founding

of... civilization on Earth.

So the idea that this may have had something to do with an extraterrestrial

visit, to me, is fascinating.

Could it be that ancient people all around the world were taught how to

megalithic structures by extraterrestrials that came down from

Perhaps further clues can be found.

by examining an ancient temple in India that displays highly sophisticated

engineering knowledge credited to a divine architect.

Any list of incredible structures would be incomplete without featuring the

amazing architecture of India.

And of all the astounding places we visited on ancient aliens, one of the

baffling is the Surang Tila Temple.

This unbelievable site was built using ancient construction techniques that

rival anything you'd see today.

Here, poor India, March 2017.

Ancient astronaut theorist Giorgio Suclos is meeting up with archaeologist

Arun Sharma to get an up -close look at the Surang Tila Temple.

The temple was buried beneath a mound of soil for hundreds of years until 2006,

when Dr. Sharma headed an excavation of the site.

Beautiful.

was totally destroyed.

Really?

Incredibly, the earthquake that hit Sirpur in the 11th century leveled every

modern building that was standing at the time.

Only the ancient Surantila temple survived.

Now, is this considered Ayurvedic architecture right here?

Ayurvedic architecture is a construction technique derived

from the ancient science of design.

found in Indian tactics dating back thousands of years.

That's amazing.

Now I will show you the original mortar places.

Okay.

Here, you see between the two stones, there is no gap.

So here Ayurvedic paste was applied.

It seems to be almost like some type of glue.

Yes, it is a glue. They have not moved from their place. It is such a firm

joining. If you want to make it live long, you follow the ancient pattern,

the cement.

Cement has got the life of 70 years.

The glue -like substance is said to form a bond that is at least 20 times

stronger than concrete.

But modern builders have been unwilling to entertain the notion that such an

ancient concoction could be superior to today's building materials.

Wow, look at this.

Beautiful. The detailed instructions for making this paste can be found in an

ancient Indian text known as the Mayamadam, a manuscript dedicated to

construction techniques.

The information contained within the document is understood to have been

down to humans from Mayasura, the ancient king of the demigods, who was

oversee various construction projects on Earth.

Now we are in front of one sanctum sanctorum. And just at the entry point,

here is the slit.

This right here. Curiously, there is a more astounding earthquake -proof

at the site.

to indicate advanced knowledge was used in its construction.

Located at key points within the Surang Tila temple are several 80 -foot -long

shafts designed to form air pockets that can dissipate the impact of seismic

events.

Big. It's a huge book. And this text has been around for 4 ,500 years.

In your opinion, where did this knowledge come from?

And you think that this knowledge originated from the stars?

I think there was a part played by these aliens.

It's amazing.

The Surantila Temple stands as an incredible testament to the advanced

architectural techniques of our ancestors.

Techniques reportedly passed down to them from their divine teachers and the

archaeologists. in charge of the dig, is convinced that the knowledge came

directly from extraterrestrial visitors.

Every one of the incredible structures we've traveled to on ancient aliens

provides evidence that our ancestors had contact with extraterrestrials in the

distant past.

And when you put it all together, you have, in my opinion, undeniable proof

the ancient astronaut theory.

How else can you explain that thousands of years ago, people in Japan, Egypt,

Italy, Bolivia, and other locations all around the world were somehow able

to build these massive megalithic structures?

To me, the answer is clear. They had help from alien visitors.
