Stone blocks...
modern aircraft carrying

millions of people each
day around the world...

And space shuttles sending
humans to the stars.

- And liftoff of Endeavor...
- But are these

examples of modern technology,
or is there evidence that these

incredible achievements existed
on earth thousands of years ago?

You begin to have to ask
yourself, are we missing part of

the story?

Could ancient man
have possessed knowledge far

beyond that of our own century?

And if so, where did it come
from?

I think that people in ancient
times were visited by

beings coming not from this
earth, and they gave us

scientific technologies.

It becomes ever more
apparent that the possible

answer of "Have aliens visited
in the past?" could be a

potential yes.

Millions of people
around the world believe we have

been visited in the past by
extraterrestrial beings.

What if it were true?

Did ancient aliens really
help to shape our history?

And if so, what if there were
clues left behind, sometimes

hiding in plain sight?

What if we could find the
evidence?

Saqqara, Egypt.

Located roughly 20 miles south
of Cairo, it is home to the

world-famous step
pyramid of King Djoser.

Dating back more than 4,000
years, it is the oldest of

Egypt's 97 pyramids.

Saqqara is also famous for being
one of Egypt's oldest burial

grounds, earning it the
nickname "City of the Dead."

It was here, in 1891, that
French archeologists unearthed

an ancient tomb containing the
burial remains of Pa-di-Imen, an

official from the third century
BC.

Among the various items
discovered was a small wooden

model of what appeared to be a
bird, lying beside a papyrus

bearing the inscription:

"I want to fly."

The artifact was later sent
to the Cairo Museum, where

authorities placed it alongside
several other bird figurines.

The model sat largely
unnoticed, until 1969, when

Egyptologist Dr.
Kahlil Messiha was examining the bird

collection and noticed that
there was something very

different about the Saqqara
bird.

It's interesting
because on one hand,

clearly, it should look like a
bird because it has eyes and has

a typical nose of a bird.

On the other hand, the wings
are clearly not bird wings.

To the
middle of the rim, you see this

wing a bit thicker.

In this region, the
lift-up is the highest.

The whole thing becomes thinner
to the, um, end of the wings.

And those wings, uh, model down.

And this is a very modern
aerodynamic design.

Then the other point
is, birds have no rudders.

Because a bird does not need
a rudder because of its

aerodynamic architecture.

And so, there is the idea they
are not representing birds, but

flying machines, or aircraft.

Could the ancient
Egyptians have possessed the

power of flight?

In 2006, aviation and
aerodynamics expert Simon

Sanderson built a scale model
of the Saqqara bird five times

larger than the original
to test that possibility.

We're
running at a constant speed,

slowly increasing the angle of
attack, and then measuring the

forces which it's producing.

That way, we can learn about
its flight characteristics.

At ten degrees, we're producing
four times weight and lift.

So, it actually would be flying
now.

That's good.

Test shows the
Saqqara bird is a highly

developed glider.

And this is the design we use
today.

During the
Sanderson test, it was

discovered that the only thing
preventing the Saqqara bird from

achieving flight was the lack of
a rear stabilizing rudder, or

elevator, needed to maintain
balance.

Is it possible that the Saqqara
bird ever possessed this

critical component?

What is missing is
something like an elevator,

but if you look at this feature
here, then we may interpret that

something like an elevator was
connected here, but was lost

during history.

Computer models seem
to confirm that the Saqqara

bird is certainly airworthy.

But there is another problem to
consider: launching a glider.

Modern methods require the use
of a towplane that pulls the

glider into the air, then
releases it when a proper

altitude is reached.

So, how might the ancient
Egyptians have launched the

Saqqara bird?

The scientifics of
Egyptology told us that such

a bird could be powered
off by catapults to fly.

And, uh, we had high acceptance
by Egyptian scientists.

The idea of using
a catapult does have a

contemporary parallel.

Many of today's glider
enthusiasts employ a bungee cord

system to launch their
sail craft into the air.

But if the Saqqara bird is
capable of flight, where would

ancient Egyptians have
acquired such technology?

I think that people in
ancient times were visited by

beings coming not from this
earth, and they gave us

culture and scientific
technologies to improve

our life on earth coming from
the primitive to a higher

developed culture.

If ancient cultures
would be able to produce any

really flyable machine, they
would be far more advanced than

we believe today.

It changes our viewpoint
of ancient societies.

It's a fact
that our ancestors were more

intelligent and had more
technological superiority

capabilities than our history
books give them credit for.

You begin to
have to ask yourself, "Are we

missing part of the story?"

And honestly, I think we are.

I think there has been a forgotten
episode in human history.

And, uh, we're a species with
amnesia.

We don't really remember
who or what we are.

I haven't been
convinced that there is evidence

that support an ancient
visitation, but there is

no reason why not, and I think
to shut oneself to that

possibility is a mistake,
mainly because there is so many

anomalies that we can't explain.

7,000 miles from
Egypt, the dense jungles and

rugged mountains of Colombia
contain a vast number of

archaeological sites.

Many treasure hunters believed
the legendary City of Gold,

El Dorado, lies hidden here
somewhere under a thick canopy

of trees.

While the mythical metropolis
has never been found, early in

the 20th century, tomb-robbers
searching along the Magdalena

River stumbled upon a gravesite
dating back 1,500 years to a

pre-Colombian civilization
known as the Tolima.

Among the funerary objects found
there were hundreds of small

two- to three-inch gold
figurines.

Many of those
looked like insects and fish.

However, out of those hundreds
that they found, they also

found about a dozen that are
eerily reminiscent of modern-day

fighter jets.

They have a triangular shape.

They have an upright tailfin, stabilizers...
and a fuselage.

And they have nothing in common
with anything similar in nature.

Could these gold
objects really be proof that

earth has been visited
by ancient aliens?

One of the objects shows
a typical swept wings like

with a modern aircraft.

And you compare it to something
like a space shuttle.

You see that the basic wing
shape is very similar to wing

shapes for high-speed
aerodynamic bodies like a space

shuttle is.

There is not a single
insect in the world which

has got its wings at the bottom.

Now, when you exclude the
possibility that it's an insect,

one of the things which remain
is the fact that this is

actually, yes, what it
looks like: a plane.

In 1997, German
aviation experts including

Algund Eenboom and Peter
Belting, set out to prove the

speculation by building a
scale-model replica of the gold

flyer, fully equipped with landing
gear and a working engine.

It was rather simple
because we don't need to put

much parts to this shape
because this shape is perfect.

Everything was already done by
the native people 2,000 years

They did not add
an inch or remove an inch.

They just essentially blew the
little thing into a larger size.

I mean, this is sensational that
pre-Colombian culture knew about

aerodynamics.

Once completed, the
remote controlled flyer took off

down a makeshift runway and
flew.

When you see this
thing taking off, you really

feel that this is the real deal.

It was a very
successful test and showed us

how perfect ancient people were
working out aerodynamic design.

What it shows you that there
must be something happened.

We are not quite sure how
it did, but that it did.

This is applied science.

This isn't just thinking
somewhere.

This is people going out there
and making sure and proving,

what I still see, anybody can
see this, that this is real.

This is genuine.

This little thing, which
sits in a museum, could fly.

So we have two
examples from opposite sides of

the planet, and both examples
are aerodynamically sound and

they fly.

So, to suggest that all
of this is coincidence...

I mean, after a while, even
coincidence no longer makes sense.

Could the
ancients have seen actual

entities, like ancient gods,
ancient astronauts actually

flying around in what
amounted to modern aircraft?

The answer to these
questions may be found in

ancient documents that describe
flight patterns, aircraft specs,

and even aerial battles
in remarkable detail.

Over the past 50 years,
NASA has sent astronauts

into space inside large rockets.

This method has been described
by some as simply "putting a man

on a large firecracker
and lighting the fuse."

Man's ability to travel farther
into space would require more

advanced propulsion systems.

Several are being researched by
NASA.

There are a
wide variety of advanced

propulsion technologies that are
being actively developed and

studied by NASA and other
researchers.

A really exotic version of
that is to use a launch-assist

catapult, use technology
derived from the magnetic

levitation trains to
build a maglev sled.

It carries your rocket, gets it
up to about Mach 1, and then

launches the rocket from it.

While these
futuristic propulsion systems

seem like something out of
science fiction, ancient alien

theorists believe past
civilizations possessed these same

advanced technologies.

They point to a number of
cultural myths that describe sky

people coming to Earth in
fire-breathing dragons, or

metallic-looking machines as
proof of extraterrestrial

visitation.

In my mind,
legends and myths are based on

something real.

And while they've been
"mythified" and exaggerated in

many cases, in my mind, some
core of truth here in that

people really were flying in
airships in ancient times just

like we do today.

But might these
ancient airships have reached

Earth using the same type of
propulsion systems we use today?

The answer may be found deep
in the Indian subcontinent.

India-- over 1.1 billion people
crowd its modern cities and

rural townships, speaking
hundreds of languages, and

practicing a number of
different religions.

India is considered one of the
oldest civilizations with

settlements dating back
over 11,000 years.

It is also home to several of
the oldest records of ancient

technologies.

Ancient Sanskrit text dating
back as far as 6000 BC,

describing varying but vivid
detail flying machines called

"vimanas."

Vimanas are airplanes,
and they are powered

by some jet engines.

This seems to be true because
all the description of the

flight behavior "elephants
ran away in panic."

Grass was thrown out because
there was a lot of pressure from

behind those vimanas.

So that we can say this is a
description of the spaceship.

Although mainstream
historians believe the vimana

texts are myths, many of the
documents contain passages that

seem to describe modern
machinery and technology.

The
Vymaanika-Shaastra goes into

metals that are used in these
craft.

It talks about electricity
and power sources.

It talks about the pilots and
the clothing they have to wear.

It talks about the food that
they eat.

It talks even about the weapons
that are kept on these airships.

The flight menus of the
vimanas are quite similar to

the flight menus you find in
the modern passenger flight

business.

Or when you go to the military
jet engines, of course, they

have also flight menus because
it's necessary for a pilot to

get knowledge about his plane
he wanted to fly with.

We also learned
that these vimanas could

be controlled mentally.

And this is a technology that
modern militaries are beginning

to develop.

Even today,
with as advanced as we think we

are, almost every manifestation
of an actual extraterrestrial

civilization today would look
almost like magic to us where

it has to do with technological
electromagnetic systems that

interface with coherent thought
and organized thought.

And this gets into people go,
"Now, you're losing me here."

But I tell people, I say, "Yeah,
well, you gotta push your

boundaries a little bit if
you're talking about a true

"interstellar civilization."

The
Vymaanika-Shaastra, or Science

of Aeronautics, indicates vimanas
used a propulsion system

based on a combination of gyroscopes,
electricity, and mercury.

Is this possible?

Mercury is an unusual element.

Mercury is metal.

It's also a liquid, and, uh,
is a conductor of electricity.

You know, there's unusual
things you can do with mercury.

You can put it into a closed
gyroscopic device with mercury

spinning around, and then
you can electrify it.

Studies have been done on this
by NASA and by other scientists,

and they find that you have
levitation effects, antigravity

kind of effects, and a spinning
bright light is part of it, too.

The
Vymaanika-Shaastra suggests

vimanas were powered by several
gyroscopes placed inside a

sealed liquid mercury vortex.

Here's an example
of a little kid's gyroscope.

You spin it with a heavy
wheel around a central axis.

Well, a gyroscope seems to do a
lot of strange things, even defy

gravity.

And it does this because it uses
what's called rotational, or

angular, momentum.

And it wants to keep a
particular orientation on its

spin axis, the center rod.

If you push on that rod, it will
want to "righten" itself up to

its original orientation.

It wants to keep that
same angular momentum.

Gyroscopes are used all over
the place: in airplanes, in

spacecraft, in submarines.

This allows them to determine
their position based on where

they started.

They can also use it for finding
their velocity or even just the

orientation of the vehicle in
space.

One of the texts talks about
mercury rotating and driving

some sort of a powerful
wind, or a windmill effect.

That might be some sort of what
we call a "flywheel energy

storage" where you have a
spinning disc, and then you

extract energy from it slowly.

That would be the mercury.

And then that could be used to
drive some sort of a propeller

or what we'd call a ducted fan
sort of system like you have in

a hovercraft.

Mercury would be quite good
for that because it's a high

density, so you'd have a small
package for your power plant,

and that's always good when
you're building an aircraft.

Flywheel energy
storage systems, however, tend

to lose power quickly.

To navigate across space, its
size would have to be enormous.

They're fine for
use by power companies for

load-leveling.

You put energy in when
you don't need it.

You get energy out when you need
it.

But they're sitting on the
ground.

To have something light enough
to actually fly, it's not at all

clear that this will
be a practical device.

Now, maybe the people are trying
to describe something that kind

of looked like this to them.

It might not have
actually been mercury.

It might have been some
other liquid metal.

The mercury vortex
engine is perhaps a failure in

the translation because the
vortex is not material quite

suitable to a jet engine.

The issue of how are
these civilizations traveling

faster than the speed of light
is a fundamental question.

It's a scientific application of
things that have been studied

for thousands of years and
they're within the Vadas, the

ancient Vedic teachings or
other ancient teachings--

and it is there.

But if vimanas existed,
could this prove there

was a worldwide transportation
network thousands of years

before Columbus?

The answer might be found on a
mountaintop outside Mexico City.

In the 21st century,
modern transportation

and communication methods have
connected the world like never

before.

Products or ideas, no matter
where in the world they may have

originated, can spread to even
the most remote countries.

A hip-hop hit in Brooklyn might
make it big in Tokyo before it's

even heard in Manhattan.

This cultural interconnection
has transformed the globe, but

is it new?

Mainstream archaeologists
believe ancient civilizations

such as those found in the
remote Pacific Islands, Asia,

and South America developed
independently from each other.

But ancient astronaut theorists
contend that similarities in

building styles and beliefs
found in these cultures suggest

that a worldwide trade route may
have connected them to each

other.

But just like we
have airports today around the

world, in ancient times with the
vimanas, there would have been

hangars for the craft,
airports for them to land.

And those airports would have
been situated in strategic

places around the world.

And that's exactly what
we see in remote places.

Could the complex
set of lines covering Peru's

Nazca plain or the mysterious
plateau above Mexico's Oaxaca

Valley be evidence of runways for
worldwide air transportation

system.

One of the unusual
archaeological sites in Mexico

is a place called Monte Albán.

That is also a mountain where
the top of the mountain was

completely cut off and leveled
to make a very flat tabletop

mountain.

And there's a megalithic city
there, too, that's extremely old.

This was probably some
kind of vimana airport.

The vimanas could be
kind of missing link between the

single cultures in the world
because they had just a very

short time to flow from one
part of the world to the other.

Legends of air travel
are also found in ancient

Africa and the Middle East.

According to The Kebra Nagast,
a holy book of the Ethiopians

written sometime between the
fifth and second century AD,

the queen of Sheba was once
given a gift of a flying carpet

by King Solomon of Israel.

The Kebra Nagast
is one of the most important

texts you've never heard of.

The Kebra Nagast means The
Book of Kings and it is

the most sacred book
of the Ethiopians.

In it, King Solomon is
described-- he had access to

some type of a flying machine.

And in that part of the world
the term "flying carpet" was

always used very liberally.

My question is, did they really
mean actual flying carpets or

was it another term with which
to describe some type of a

flying machine?

This was the original
Chariots of the Gods

that Erich von Daniken talked
about-- the flying magic carpets

of the Arabian Nights stories.

There are traditions in the
Middle East of King Solomon

having this airship and flying
to different places in the

Middle East, certain mountains
which are known as the Mountains

of Solomon.

These may have been certain
airports or landing areas for

these vimanas.

Nicholas Rourke, famous
Russian-American explorer who

traveled all through central
Asia and Tibet in the 1920s, he

too claimed that Tibetans had
traditions of King Solomon

flying to Tibet in this
aircraft.

The Kebra Nagast also
describes how King Solomon

used his flying airship to
make maps of the world.

But could these
have any relation to other

ancient maps some believe
may have been made by

extraterrestrials?

Some of these maps
show the world not as it looks

today, but as it looked
during the last ice age.

And this is really hard to explain.
Everybody's heard of the Piri

Reis map, but they've perhaps
not heard of the Orontius

Finnaeus map or-or the Mercator
maps that show Antarctica in

great detail hundreds of years
before Antarctica was even

discovered.

One of the most
referenced stories of ancient

aircraft is found in a
surprising place: the Bible.

In the Book of Ezekiel, the
prophet describes a flying

chariot containing wheels within
wheels and powered by angels.

Although Bible historians
suggest Ezekiel was speaking

symbolically about the
terrifying enemies facing

Israel, could this be another
example of an alien visitation

and proof that prehistoric
aircraft existed?

In the story of
Ezekiel's throne chariot, this

flying vehicle that doesn't
seem to have any means of

propulsion, if we thought of the
word "angel" as representing

something like celestial energy,
it sounds much more like a

spacecraft then because some of
the angels are going back and

forth.

Well, that sounds like flames.

That sounds like propulsion.

Some of them are wheel-like.

Well, those sound like flying
saucers.

Our ancestors weren't idiots.

Ezekiel saw something that was
so frightening to him that he

fell to his knees.

Then, out of the glory of God,
came this being in these

bright clothes that looked like
metal, and told Ezekiel, "All

right, man, we brought you here.

"We want you to measure this
monument, this building."

And Ezekiel asks, "Well,
why should I do this?"

And the being says, "That's
why we brought you here."

And then you have 40 pages, in
the second part of the Book of

Ezekiel, with measurement
after measurement after

measurement of this gigantic
building, in which, by the way,

the glory of the Lord landed.

In the early 1970s,
NASA scientist Joseph

Blumrich set out to disprove
the theory that what Ezekiel

witnessed was a spaceship.

Joseph Blumrich is
your proverbial rocket scientist.

He worked on the moon project for
NASA and, from the mind of a

rocket engineer, started to
look at what was written in the

first part of the Book of
Ezekiel.

And after many months of
research, Joseph Blumrich

came to the conclusion that
what Ezekiel described in his

eyewitness report, it was
indeed a type of spacecraft.

Joseph Blumrich
would go on to write The

Spaceships of Ezekiel.

Several years later, a German
structural engineer named Hans

Herbert Beier sketched out a
blueprint of the second section

of the Book of Ezekiel, where
Ezekiel is told to construct an

open-topped building to
house the flying chariot.

Ezekiel's spaceship
fit exactly into the

temple that Hans Herbert
Beier recreated.

So what we have here is
a proof by indication.

Here we have a NASA engineer and
a structural engineer-- they

didn't know of each other's
work-- and both pieces fit

together like a puzzle.

In any court of law, that's
evidence that would hold up.

I think that
scientists feel uncomfortable

with the notion of the lost
civilization precisely because

the evidence for it is so
ambiguous.

It's not so in your face that
it's immediately obvious.

Uh, and, you know, the result is
that science has not welcomed

this idea.

It'll take much more evidence
before it's widely accepted.

The god that I
believe in doesn't need a

vehicle in which to move around
from point A to point B.

Whatever was described in the
Old Testament wasn't God, it

was a misunderstood flesh-and-
blood extraterrestrial whom

our ancestors misinterpreted as
being divine and supernatural.

And why?

Because of misunderstood
technology.

And that is the underlying
thread that applies to all of

the ancient astronaut theory.

But while ancient
texts provide tantalizing clues

to our past, physical evidence
paints an even clearer picture.

But will modern science finally
prove the ancient astronaut

theory?

Did the ancient
civilizations of Earth have

access to advanced technology?

Well, it seems like they
had something going on.

In today's largest
construction sites and

quarries, huge mega-machines
are used to dig, cut, and lift

stone.

These man-made creatures dwarf
their creators and perform the

work of thousands of men using
modern hydraulic technologies.

Without such equipment,
builders could never construct

modern skyscrapers.

Yet, thousands of years ago,
ancient civilizations were

accomplishing the same work
while constructing their

monuments and temples
using massive stones.

These enormous blocks-- many
weighing in excess of 100

tons-- would be a challenge
even for today's engineers.

Yet thousands of years ago,
people cut them out of solid

rock, transported them for
miles and then lifted them

precisely into place.

But how?

Did they cut these massive
stone blocks with hammers,

chisels, and copper wire, as
mainstream archeologists suggest?

Could they have lifted and
transported them without a

pulley system or the wheel?

Or did ancient civilizations
possess advanced technologies

that have since been lost to
science?

At Giza, you just
don't have the pyramids.

Linked to the pyramids are
what Egyptologists call valley

temples.

It doesn't take a rocket
engineer that when you go

there, there's something
not quite right here.

Whereas the pyramids are built
with blocks of two to three

tons, these temples, which
are minute compared to the

pyramids, are built with blocks
of 100 tons and some of them

200 tons.

Let me tell you what
a 100-ton block is.

If you take a 100 family cars
and you squeeze them together

you get one of these blocks.

First of all, let alone how
they move these blocks is why

would they want to use 100-ton
blocks?

It simply doesn't make sense.

There's no
reason for them to want to

build out of granite blocks
the size of a semi truck.

It's like, "Okay, let's do
something, but let's do it as

difficult as we could
possibly do it."

The reason why I am
convinced that sophisticated

technology was utilized in these
ancient rocks is because,

if we go to a stone quarry
today and look at the scope of

machinery required to
accomplish similar things,

those machines are huge.

Subscribers to
ancient alien theory do not

believe extraterrestrials built
these amazing monuments, but

instead provided some type of
technological know-how or tools

to our ancestors.

Engineering expert Chris Dunn
has spent several decades

researching the construction
tools used by the ancient

Egyptians.

We're normally taught
by Egyptologists, that the

ancient Egyptians had simple
tools.

They went to work every day
using stone balls, copper

chisels or copper tube and sand
to grind holes in diorite and

granite, extremely hard rock.

And what I have actually
gathered over the years is

information that seems to
actually argue against that

notion that they had simple
tools.

In Egypt, Dunn was
able to examine ancient

sites firsthand.

What he found has proved to
be both revolutionary and

controversial.

If you look at the Giza
Plateau and all the stones that

they actually placed in the
Great Pyramid and the Khafre

Pyramid and Menkaura's Pyramid,
two and a half million blocks of

stone in the Great Pyramid
alone.

They had to have had some
efficient means of cutting them

to size and putting them into
place.

They had to have had somebody
on site who is saying, "Okay, I

need a block this size," and
then getting a block to them

that size stat, like
immediately.

While searching
several miles north of Giza, at

Abu Rawash, Dunn stumbled upon a
clue when he spotted a granite

block containing a deep cut.

When I first saw it, I
just didn't know what to make of

it.

And it was only after puzzling
over it for days, and sometimes

waking up at 3:00 in the
morning scratching my head and

thinking, well, how did
they make this cut?

And finally, to realize that the
only way that they could have

actually cut that thing was
with a saw that was 35 feet in

diameter.

The idea that
ancient Egyptians used giant

saws provoked much resistance
from mainstream archeologists.

Dunn however, was convinced.

As an ex-machinist
I look for tool marks.

I look for them everywhere I go.

And I could be accused of, well,
you know, if you're going to

look for something, you're
probably going to find it

because you'reooking at it
through a certain filter.

Accepted, I agree.

But the question is, why is it
there?

Clearly, to me, that
is a machine mark.

But there were no machines back
then.

So what do I do?

I just go looking for
more machine marks.

And they're all over the place.

You find them on statues.

You find them particularly
in the Luxor Museum.

There seems to be an
impression on the side of Amon's

buttock where it meets the bench,
where there is an undercut.

It was the slip of a tool.

And therefore, it must have been
a tool that was quite efficient.

Dunn also believes
that the large depressions in

the ground at Giza are not boat
pits as is claimed by mainstream

archeologists, but were actually
used to hold the 35-foot saws.

I speculate that they
were actually saw pits.

The saws were mounted in these
pits, and that they ran the

blocks through the saw before
they put them in the Great

Pyramid.

Another mystery
involves how mega-stones were

lifted up and placed
into a precise position.

What you find in
modern construction is that to

build big buildings, you need to
build big instruments which help

build these big buildings.

And that is something which
archeology has never addressed.

The three largest
man-made stones in the world are

found at the Temple of Jupiter
at Baalbek in Lebanon.

Each weighs an estimated 1,000
tons-- or two million pounds.

A nearby quarry contains an even
bigger stone, known as the Stone

of the Pregnant Woman.

This giant rectangular block
weighs an incredible 1,200 tons.

To move it today would take
the strength of 21 heavy-lift

cranes.

Being in the
construction industry, if a

certain project is being
constructed somewhere,

particularly in mountainous
areas, how would we carry this

machinery, these cranes, and all
that?

They are so heavy that it's
virtually impossible to take

them to the site.

This stone
came off a project in Palm

Springs, where they had one of
the largest excavators they

could rent.

They had trouble loading
it into the truck.

It's well in excess of five
tons-- 10,000 pounds--

small in megalithic terms, but
basically what we can handle

with modern machinery.

We're supposed to accept
that the people who built

the pyramids did not have the
wheel, did not have the pulley,

did not have iron.

In fact, they had nothing but
brutal manpower and pieces

of strings.

The comtext does not fit the
evidence.

I've done pulling
operations in upper Egypt.

Thousands of people involved
in the various stages of the

project, moving very fragile
pieces of stone that weigh

hundreds, if not thousands, of
tons.

Yes, you can use ropes, but
you're going to have to use

other mechanical advantages.

But if ancient
civilizations did not possess

modern mechanical equipment, how
did they move and lift mega-ton

stones?

Some believe they were given
a technical advantage from

extraterrestrial visitors.

You've got to ask
yourself, why would they try and

do something that seems
so incredibly difficult?

The answer to why they would do
that has to be that it somehow

wasn't so difficult for them.

It was easy.

There exists one
very concise description of how

these massive stones were
transported from the quarry to

the building site.

The master builders had the
capability of putting some type

of a white substance--
paper-like substance onto the

stones and they rode on it, and
then they basically gave the

stone block a push and it moved
by six feet as if by magic.

Now did that thing
really move by magic?

No, some technology was used.

That is part of the solution.

In order to really move massive
amounts of stone like that, they

would have had to have been
levitated-- somehow made

weightless-- and then just moved
through the air by some kind of

device, perhaps even a handheld
kind of device, like some beam

weapon.

Ancient man's
method of moving large blocks

is only one mystery.

Another surrounds the techniques
of their stonemasons.

How did prehistoric
civilizations cut such

intricately designed
patterns in solid granite?

Palm Springs, California.

Master stonemason and sculptor
Roger Hopkins uses a variety of

advanced tools to cut
and shape hard stones.

Powered implements such as
diamond-tipped wires and

polishers enable him to fashion
works of art out of huge granite

blocks obtained from nearby
quarries.

Yet even with these high-tech
tools, Hopkins cannot replicate

what ancient civilizations
accomplished thousands of years ago.

Could these advanced engineering
methods be the smoking gun that

proves humans had help
from alien beings?

The precision on some
of the work that I've seen

is just incredible.

It's possible to do by hand, but
it would take an incredible

amount of time.

Plus, you have to have years of
experience to be able to pull it

off.

In my opinion, the
most tangible pieces of evidence

that we have regarding possible
extraterrestrial technology is

when we look at the ancient
stone-cutting techniques.

Because in some instances,
we ourselves today could not

replicate what our ancestors
allegedly accomplished with

stonemasonry.

Puma Punku is a large
temple complex located on

a high plateau in Bolivia.

Mainstream archeologists date
the site from approximately

200 BC.

The people who lived here had
neither a written language nor

the wheel, yet somehow they
built one of the world's most

complex structures.

Ancient alien theorists view
Puma Punku as clear proof of

extraterrestrial influence.

The ruins we find
at Puma Punku are simply

extraordinary.

Puma Punku defies logic.

The interest of Puma
Punku is not so much that the

individual stones sorted
together perfectly, but the fact

that the stones, as such, are of
such tremendous design that it

requires concepts of mathematics
which are far beyond anything we

are actually using right now.

Yet somehow in the past,
somebody has made that for a

specific purpose, and in a way
which even computer programs

today would kind of go,
how is this possible?

In the highlands of
Bolivia, Puma Punku-- some of

these blocks are over
40 to 50 tons each.

What can you tell us about this?

Boy, they had their
stone-cutting abilities pretty

well fine-tuned for 5,000 years
old.

I mean, it's almost
unbelievable.

But these cutting planes that
they have on here are very

impressive.

And some of the incised cuts--
see, like in here, all these

interior cuts-- very hard to do.

I mean, it would be difficult for
us with our equipment to get

that kind of precision.

Let's talk a little
bit about inside boxes.

Ew, I was afraid you
were going to pull something

like this on me.

That is a hell of a piece of
work.

I mean, if we were to do
something like that today, we'd

use-- what they have, these
computer-driven CNC machines

which have diamond tips.

And you have a template that,
you know, the computer follows.

Even then, it may not
come out as perfect.

Because even
though you can tell that

obviously this piece broke off...
Mm-hmm.

Nowhere in here can
you see any imperfection.

It's like... And by the way,
when you're there, if you go

with your finger over these
edges, and you put a little

pressure on your fingertip,
you can cut yourself.

This is how sharp the edges are.

But where could the
ancient peoples have developed

such technology?

Is it really possible that
extraterrestrial visitors

provided different construction
methods and tools?

When I saw these
blocks, I didn't really

think that they were cut.

The first thing really that I
thought of was this appears very

similar to Frank Lloyd Wright's
textile block system of

construction, which he used in
his California houses in the

early 1920s.

Now what he did was-- he took
concrete, poured it into molds.

There actually are
ancient Incan legends that

suggest that they had the
capability of softening the stone.

At Sacsayhuaman, for example,
we find these gigantic stone

blocks, gigantic stone walls,
where it looks as if those

stones were molten, put into
place, and then the stone

hardened again.

Several hundred
miles north of Puma Punku,

Machu Picchu sits high
atop the Peruvian Andes.

Built by the Incas in the 15th
century, this stone citadel was

suddenly abandoned
about 100 years later.

Like Puma Punku, Machu Picchu
also has signs of advanced

engineering and possibly,
molded stones.

I can't help but think
that whoever was behind

this thought the process
through from beginning to end.

They didn't quarry the rock, and
then decide, "How the heck are

we gonna transport this?"

They knew from beginning to end
what needed to be done with

whatever techniques and
technology they were going to

use, so that this was no
big deal.

In industry today, there's a
kind of an adage: "Keep it

simple, stupid."

Based on his
experience, Mike Dunn believes

the simplest way to build the
great walls of Machu Picchu

would have been to transport
small rocks to the site, then

melt them, and use molds to fashion
exact size and shape needed.

That would solve a lot of
difficulties of constructing

this wall.

First, you have your shapes,
all the same size, each shape.

So you're guaranteed that they
would fit together as opposed to

being cut by different artisans.

Melting the rocks, and
then pouring them into place

would take and incredible amount
of heat just to spool off pieces

of stone.

I have a stone torch which I use
for sometimes shaping granite.

And, I mean, it generates a
temperature of in excess of

3,000 degrees.

3,000 degrees... that's a lot.

When we look back at
the ancients, and we see a

technology that they couldn't
possibly know, there's only

two possibilities then: either
God did it-- which we really

don't think happened-- or some
high-tech civilization from

another planet came and showed
them how to do it, then took

their materials and tools
and went back home.

The idea behind
that is that none of these

ancient monuments were
constructed or manufactured by

extraterrestrials.

It was us humans who built it
with extraterrestrial technology.

It's entirely
possible that there were

visitations, that they pointed
out ways to do things, and that

they wanted to leave
some kind of a record.

I mean, if you're gonna leave a
permanent record, the only way

you can do that is in stone.

But if advanced
beings from another planet

really did bring their
technology to Earth, might the

ancient astronauts have left
one of their tools behind?

The methods used

to build huge megalithic
structures such as Puma Punku

and the pyramids of
Egypt remain a mystery.

But what about the tools
used to build them?

Where are they?

And might they provide a clue
as to how these enormous stone

structures were created?

A lot of the real
ancient mysterious work was done

at a time when there was no
steel, and the copper they had

was, yeah, they could harden it
by cold-hammering it, but still,

it wouldn't make a dent in
rocks like basalt and granite.

So they would have had to use,
you know, much more laborious

techniques othey had some sort
of advanced technology which

escapes me, and I've been
in the business 40 years.

The tools and machines
must have been equal to the task

of actually building the
pyramids, crafting those statues

to such a high order of precision...
crafting those boxes to a

modern-day precision that you
find in our inspection lab.

And the big question:
Where are the tools?

In the late 19th
century, British archaeologist

Sir Flinders Petrie scoured
Egypt, looking not for the

biggest items, but the smallest.

Petrie was
absolutely fascinated by the

technical achievements of the
Egyptians, particularly the

early Egtians.

He constantly was looking for
how they made things, how they

developed things, how they
continued to sort of basically

perfect their tools.

We're normally taught
that the ancient Egyptians had

simple tools, and what Petrie
brought out is information that

seems to actually argue
against that notion.

This is an
example of a drill hole.

You can see the very fine lines
on it.

You can see the technology
that's made to use it.

You can see how it's a perfect
hole almost all the way

through, but it tapers at
one end.

This is a fragment of a
diorite bowl.

It's one of the hardest
substances, and you can see on

this, on this fragment that
there's a, a lathe mark, which

is really interesting that they
managed to make such a mark in

such a hard material.

Among all the tools
discovered by Petrie, however,

one stood out from all the rest.

While working inside the Great
Pyramid, Petrie stumbled across

a tubular drill made of granite.

Tubular drills
amongst the ancient Egyptians

were actually fairly common.

I mean, Petrie found
quite a few of them.

The interesting thing about the
one that he found in Giza is

that it's such hard stone
that was so carefully carved,

precisely grooved.

As you can see, it's got very,
very fine markings on it,

basically lines, literally a
couple of millimeters apart.

You can see it goes all the way
round very, very accurately,

hardly any waves at all.

He was absolutely amazed by
this.

He kept returning to it
throughout his life.

His theory was that the
Egyptians must have had access

to diamonds or some kind of
jewel that would have cut it.

The interesting thing about
Petrie's theory about how these

drill lines are made was that he
never discovered any diamonds

in ancient Egypt.

So where were they?

Where did they go?

We don't know.

If the ancient
Egyptians didn't possess

diamonds, how were the
precision grooves cut onto the

granite drill?

Did Petrie accidentally
discover a tool made by

extraterrestrials?

Machinist expert Chris Dunn
attempted to answer this

question by creating his own
granite drill using the known

tools and techniques of
the ancient Egyptians.

In order to test the
Egyptologist theory about how

the ancient Egyptians drilled
into granite, I took a tube and

I fixed a crank on it, and
actually used sand and silicon

carbide, and after many hours of
turning and drilling into this

piece of granite, finally got
deep enough that I could

actually pop a core out.

And the reason for that was to
actually look at the surface,

not just of the whole,
but of the core.

The next step was
to use a high-tech industrial

microscope to compare his drill
core to a latex copy of the one

at the Petrie Museum.

We have under the
microscope the core that we

drilled with the copper tube
and sand.

And as you can see, the surface
of the core, the striations are

not very clear.

There's nothing really distinctive
in terms of the feed

of the tool marks using
sand and, and copper.

Now bring in the latex that they
took of the core in the Petrie

Museum, and we see something
totally different.

The striations are very clear
and they're quite deep.

The devil is actually in the
details, and the details of this

particular artifact are what I
consider to be a smoking gun

in terms of what level of
technology we give the ancient

Egyptians credit for.

Intrigued by his
discovery, Chris Dunn performed

other experiments using his
precision instruments.

As you can see, this is a...
an inspection surface

plate, uh, probably ground to
within 2/10,000 of an inch.

That is one-tenth the
thickness of a human hair.

Now, I was really amazed when I
went inside the serapeum and put

these gauges up against the
surface, and found them to be

within what I consider to be the
tolerance of these particular

gauges.

If you would put a piece of
paper under one edge of that

blade-- just a piece of paper--
you begin to see that there

was...
would be light leaking through.

And so, the precision on the
inside of the granite boxes in

the serapeum are, I would say,
within 2/1,000 of an inch,

which is incredible because
those tolerances can't just

appear by accident.

It was very shocking.

It was astounding to me to go
to Egypt and, uh, go into a

facility that was supposedly
3,000 years old and find the

same kind of precision.

I was amazed.

I've seen evidence of
the carvings on granite done

in Egypt, and they did...
they did it with little shards of,

uh... of quartz.

I believe they would have just
scratched away the stone with

that.

That... that's one possibility,
but I mean, that's... that...

That's a heck of a lot
of work to do that.

I mean, we're talking, somebody
would devote years to doing

something like that.

But here is my point.

Here we have a real-life
stonecutter-- you.

Yeah.

You see this, and
there's, like, smoke coming out

of your head.

Let's put it this way--
I had a client come in and

ask me to do that, I wouldn't
do it for any amount of money

because I'm not going to waste my
life trying to replicate that.

But precision-cut stone
monuments are not the only

enduring Middle Eastern
mysteries.

Engineering experts have also
examined the Bible story of the

Israelites' exodus from Egypt.

Just how did they survive
for 40 years in the desert?

Could they have possessed
intricate machines with

extraordinary abilities, used
not for building, but for man's

own survival?

In the Hebrew
Bible, the Book of Exodus

describes how the Jewish people
suffered as slaves living in

Egypt.

Then sometime in the 14th
century BC, the ruling pharaoh

feared their growing numbers
and ordered the killing of all

first-born Jews living in Egypt.

In an effort to save her son,
one mother put her child in a

small basket and set him
adrift on the Nile River.

That child was found by the
pharaoh's family, who named him

Moses and raised him as their
own.

As an adult, Moses discovered
his true identity and demanded

that the pharaoh free the Jews.

When the pharaoh rejected him,
Moses helped the Jews escape

from Egypt.

Historians believe that Moses
and his people crossed the Red

Sea and made their way
into the Sinai Desert.

According to the ancient text,
God grew angry at the Jews for

idol-worshipping and forced them
to wander the desert aimlessly

for 40 years before allowing
them to enter Israel.

During this time, the Bible
says the Israelites survived by

eating a single food source:

Manna.

But what is manna?

A naturally abundant food
provided by God or, as some

believe?

In the Bible, it
explains how the Israelites

got from Egypt, where they'd been
slaves, to the Promised Land.

They had to cross the Sinai
Desert.

And inevitably, given that there
was a lot of Israelites and very

little growing, as it was a desert,
they ran short on supplies.

God stepped in at this point
and sent manna from heaven.

This took the form of some kind
of seeds that rained down upon

the desert.

And then they were
collected the next day.

And they provided food for the
Israelites, except Friday, when

there was a double portion,
because on Saturday, being

the Sabbath, it didn't fall.

While the Hebrew
Bible fails to give a clear

description of manna, another
ancient Jewish text provides

an alternative clue.

The Zohar is a collection of
spiritual commentaries and

interpretations of the Torah,
and is central to the mystical

Kabbalah belief written
in the 13th century.

The Zohar describes what is
called the Ancient of Days

as providing the manna, but
what was this Ancient of Days?

A man, a god or something else?

The text speaks
of different-sized brains,

different-sized faces that were
connected with different tubes

and different light sources.

Theologians have suggested that
this is a description of God.

However, when looked at from a
modern perspective, what is

described in the Zohar isn't
necessarily a god figure,

but rather a type of machine.

Intrigued by this
information, two electrical

engineers, George Sassoon and
Rodney Dale, used the anatomical

descriptions of the Ancient of
Days to design what they called

a manna machine.

This really is-is the
key diagram of the manna

machine, as we built
it up from the text.

For instance, one here is the
mouth, but it's actually

the air intake, which carries
what is described as the breath

of life.

The air goes up this tube
here, which is described as

the-the brain of the Ancient One,
but is actually a dew still.

So that although we're talking
about the great sea and the

hairs of the beard and so on,
at the same time, we were able

to work out their relative
positions and build out the

specification of the machine,
and find that we had something

that was biochemically viable.

The machine took
in moist morning air and

condensed it in the part of
the machine that looked like

a Plexiglas dome.

From there, it mixed with
an algae culture.

The algae culture was treated
with energy, such as a strong

laser light, in order
to speed the growth.

Of course, it needed energy
for cultivating the algae.

And this was produced, we
postulate, in a small nuclear

reactor, which would produce
both heat and light as required.

The manna machine
was a very dangerous device.

We suspect that the reactor
that powered the machine was

transported in the
Ark of the Covenant.

We have multiple
references in the Bible that

whoever came close to the Ark of
the Covenant and didn't know how

to operate it was smitten to
death.

And sometimes people, after they
encountered the Ark, started to

lose their nails and started
to lose their hair.

So we have evidence of some type
of radiation poisoning which

was in direct correlation
with the Ark of the Covenant.

And so, the Ark of the Covenant
housed an extraterrestrial

device which was given to the
Israelites during their 40-year

wandering through the desert.

The manna machine is
believed to have supplied a

highly nutritious form of green
algae, or chlorella, as its food

source.

It's yet another theory
supported by modern science.

We found that work in
the field of space travel had

already been done, where the
green algae-- chlorella-- was

bred in tanks and fed to people
living in a closed environment

and kept them alive.

Research studies
done by NASA in the 1960s and

1970s established that human
life could be sustained for

extended periods of time by
consuming chlorella algae and

nothing else.

If it's possible for astronauts
to survive on algae, could the

Israelites have done the same?

The manna machine
was a sensitive device.

In order to function properly,
it had to be cleaned

once a week. On that day
the machine was taken apart

and cleaned. So it's possible
that the Sabbath we have today

actually originated from
cleaning this machine.

One theory that one could
put forward of course is

that the machine, although they
knew how to maintain it and make

it produce the manna, that it
did after a time pack up, not

work anymore.

And that was why they
came out of the desert.

But if the
Israelites' survival depended

upon the manna machine,
where did they get it?

Some believe they had stolen
it from the Egyptians prior to

their exodus.

Others suspect extraterrestrials
gave it to them as a

humanitarian gesture, to prevent
their starvation in the desert.

Either way, the answer, like the
Ark of the Covenant, seems lost

to history.

Today, scientists have
successfully pioneered a process

that produces a substance high
in protein by means of solar

energy, water vapor,
and chlorella algae.

Could this be a duplication of
alien technology from thousands

of years ago?

They actually built
a machine, a machine based

on algae culture producing
some type of super food.

And we can find a similar type
of technology described in the

Zohar.

Is history repeating itself?

One of the big questions is
"where did the

machine come from?"

And I suppose there are
two answers to that.

Either it was built on Earth,
which is a theory I can't really

subscribe to.

The other question of course is
that it might have come from

outer space somewhere.

Now, that's quite a big leap of
imagination, but of course the

interesting part is that it
actually produces food as is

used by spacecraft.

If the ancient world
contained manna machines,

giant mega-saws, and
sophisticated aircraft, what was

the energy source for
all of this technology?

The answer may be
hiding in plain sight.

Of all the ancient
structures located around the

world, perhaps none is more
mysterious or as enduring as

the Great Pyramid at Giza.

At a height of 471 feet, the
Great Pyramid stood as the

tallest structure in the world
until the completion of the

Eiffel Tower in 1889.

But while other pyramids and
temples contain walls filled

with hieroglyphics describing
their purpose, the Great

Pyramid lacks even a single
marking.

What was its function?

Why was it built?

And what secrets remain hidden
inside?

Nobody has been able
to explain the interior design

of this pyramid.

It simply doesn't make sense,
according to our logic.

You have narrow tunnels
that you have to crouch.

You emerge in grand galleries
that are nine meters high.

You have chanbers that made of
granite, where granite doesn't

come from in the area.

You have to ship the granite
by barges 600 miles away.

It's an anonymous site.

Not a single inscription.

Not a single hieroglyph.

Not a single anything.

It's just there.

Some people speculated
that it was a temple and an

initiation chamber, where
people would go to the king's

chamber and become enlightened.

There are anecdotal reports
about people who have been

inside the pyramid and have come
out absolutely shaken and--

because it was haunted.

Egyptologists believe
that the pyramids were

built to bury the dead pharaoh.

The problem with the accepted
view is the fact that not a

single dead pharaoh's body has
been found inside a pyramid,

even when the pyramid was
completely sealed, I.e. not a

single grave robber
could have entered it.

The Egyptologists say
it's to conceal the body.

Well, why advertise it?

I mean, there's nothing more
visible than a pyramid for miles.

And to this day, you would have
thought, in this modern age,

with all the knowledge we have,
we should be able to explain

this pyramid.

We cannot explain this pyramid.

Engineering
expert Christopher Dunn has

been on a personal quest to
unlock the secrets of the Great

Pyramid since the late 1970s.

According to him, there are
specific clues in the design

and construction of this
mega-monument that can help

answer exactly why it was built.

When you look at the
Great Pyramid, and look at the

culture that built it, they're
brilliant, brilliant engineers.

In fact, a lot of engineers say
we couldn't build the Great

Pyramid today.

And it was built, supposedly,
4,500 years ago.

And it was built to the
precision of a machine.

When I started to do the
research and I examined the

Great Pyramid with the eye of
functionality, um, it was built

like a machine.

Perhaps it functioned like a
machine.

The interior
design of the Great Pyramid

features four inclined air
shafts emanating from the

king's chamber and the
lower queen's chamber.

Like the Great Pyramid itself,
their presence and purpose

cannot be easily explained.

The difficulty of building
those shafts is incredible.

It's a bit like building a chimney
at an incline across a house.

I mean, as a construction
engineer, it's a nightmare.

In 2002, a team of
engineers and Egyptologists

sent a small robot into one of
the airshafts connected to the

queen's chamber.

After 65 meters, a stone
door blocked its path.

A hole was then drilled through
it.

On the other side was a small
room with yet another door

leading further up the shaft.

Since the discovery
of the door, we've had every

university, archeologist,
anthropologist, every engineer

you can think of-- nobody has
been able to explain the purpose

of the shafts.

But were these
shafts ever open?

And if they were, what might
they have been used for?

The early
explorers that went into the

queen's chamber found that the
walls were coated with a layer

of salt.

That kind of gelled with a
theory that I had developed.

You had a dilute hydrochloric
acid solution coming down one

shaft and hydrated zinc coming
down the other shaft and when

they combined in the queen's
chamber, they created hydrogen.

Hydrogen.

It is one of the most powerful
energy sources in the universe.

In the mid-19th century, it
was hydrogen gas that helped

lift some of mankind's first
airships, called zeppelins,

into the sky.

Today, it is used as a fuel
to launch rockets into space.

And if, thousands of years ago,
the Great Pyramid was actually

producing hydrogen, that would
make it one of the earliest

power plants known to man.

The Giza power plant
theory is essentially the

drawing of energy from the
Earth through the Great

Pyramid, and converting that
energy into microwave energy.

So the chemicals actually come
in through the shafts into the

queen's chamber, and then
they combine and mix and

hydrogen boils off.

The hydrogen is then lighter
than air and it will flow into

all the upper chambers.

The energy from the earth is then
vibrating the whole pyramid.

The vibrations are picked
up in the Grand Gallery.

So I proposed the Grand Gallery
was a resonator hall and there

are 27 pair of slots that
actually go up the length of

the gallery and then the
resonators were mounted in

there vertically.

Christopher Dunn
is theorizing that with

resonating galleries, the
pyramid shot a microwave out of

one of the shafts, and once you
started up this power plant, it

would have gone on for years,
decades, even hundreds of years

without stopping and
creating the microwave.

And that was a usable energy
that could be captured.

Now we can speculate
where it goes from there.

It could be collected in the
immediate vicinity or it could

keep traveling off into space.

We don't know.

That's the mystery.

But if the Great
Pyramid was actually a power

plant producing energy, was it
doing it alone, or was it part

of a larger network?

And are there any clues that
could tell us what all of that

energy was being used for?

Perhaps the 20th
century's most influential

inventor was a Serbian-American
named Nikola Tesla.

His patents on alternating
electrical currents and

distribution helped establish
the commercial electricity

industry.

He also made contributions to
robotics, radar, and computer

science.

But while Tesla can be credited
for many scientific advances,

one idea that fell short was
his attempt to create a

wireless electrical grid.

Tesla's project was
to have these towers around

the United States and
around the world.

And they would broadcast electricity
like a television station.

Instead of having to
string power lines all over

the place, you just transmit
the energy through the air

or through the ground.

There were a number of
demonstrations of this device

for wireless power transmission
during Tesla's lifetime.

So, we know the device worked.

It appears that he was using
the conductivity of the ground

or the air to carry
the electric current.

Basically in the air, if you
put enough voltage on it,

you'll get an arc across it.

I mean, you see that all the
time in a fluorescent lightbulb.

In the ground you have water,
minerals, salts that can also

carry the ions along, and therefore
carry the electric current.

But while Tesla's
power towers proved popular in

theory, the project ended
in financial failure.

But could Tesla's idea of
wireless electricity have been

a rediscovery of an
ancient technology?

I believe that what
Tesla was doing was trying

to recreate what was an ancient
power system that was used

around the world, and the way
they did this was the use of

obelisks.

Obelisks as monolithic, granite
towers, which are one solid

piece of crystal, and the
obelisks themselves were cut

to special sizes and tuned
like a tuning fork.

Could these ancient
broadcast towers really have

sent electricity up
into the atmosphere?

And if so, how was the
electricity generated?

Each of these
obelisks would have required

some kind of generating power
station similar to what we have

today.

Electricity is created by
rotating magnetic fields.

So rotating magnetic
fields generate AC power.

The very first power station
was built by Nikola Tesla at

Niagara Falls.

You've got to have some sort
of power that's spinning the

rotating fields, and in
this case would be water.

So every obelisk would have had
to have had a power station

similar to like the
one at Niagara Falls.

It's generating power, but the
obelisk itself is putting the

power into the atmosphere,
making it useable.

And this is similar to
Christopher Dunn's theory of

the Giza power plant because he
believes that the Great Pyramid

was actually sending a
microwave beam to a satellite

that was in orbit around the
planet.

That satellite then could have
been taking microwave power and

then it could transmit it again,
in theory, to some other

location on the earth, such
as, say a remote island

like Easter Island or
something like that.

From some of the
descriptions of ancient flying

machines, it's possible that
some form of power beaming

might have been used.

And in fact, for a lot of the
schemes that you see, it

actually would make a lot of
sense because you could put the

power beaming station on
a mother ship in orbit.

You're just beaming energy
to the vehicle, where it's

absorbed and turned
into propulsion thrust.

It actually makes a lot of sense
because you're taking the

energy system, the power
system, off of the vehicle and

locating it remotely.

Electricity...
power tools... mega-machinery...

And the ability to
explore the heavens...

Have these technologies been
available for just the past few

centuries?

Or are they of ancient origin,
only recently rediscovered?

Were our ancestors capable of
these incredible achievements?

Or might they have come from
another source, one much more

out of this world?

Civilizations were
much more advanced that we

give them credit, and literally,
as advanced as we are today.

In my view, we need
to take this seriously

simply because of the
scale of the work.

We're looking at monuments that
took, perhaps, a century to

build.

Even today, we have difficulty
in considering such a project.

It just boggles the mind.

And really, to look at those
artifacts and to go back in

time and say, how did they do
it?

We are kind of cracking the lid
open a little bit and looking

inside to try and see just
what happened in our history.

It's a question which
is a scientific question.

And you constantly have to ask
it.

And the possible answer of have
aliens visited in the past

could be a potential yes.

It's a very specific
reason why all of this

stuff was built in stone:

For posterity.

So it would last.

So that a future generation
would have to stumble across

these monuments.

We are that society who can
look at these ancient monuments

and finally recognize that all
of this stuff was built as a

message for us to see that our
past is way different than what

we're being taught in school.
