1
00:00:08,312 --> 00:00:09,574
Massive stone
2
00:00:09,574 --> 00:00:10,619
structures
3
00:00:10,619 --> 00:00:12,403
built to reach for the heavens.
4
00:00:12,403 --> 00:00:13,448
It is a
5
00:00:13,448 --> 00:00:14,710
place of connection, a place of
6
00:00:14,710 --> 00:00:16,364
communication with the
7
00:00:16,364 --> 00:00:17,713
gods themselves.
8
00:00:17,713 --> 00:00:19,758
Strange figures
9
00:00:19,758 --> 00:00:22,370
buried deep in the earth.
10
00:00:22,370 --> 00:00:23,371
Long
11
00:00:23,371 --> 00:00:24,937
narrow noses with narrow lips.
12
00:00:24,937 --> 00:00:26,548
They look like robots.
13
00:00:26,548 --> 00:00:29,464
And globally
14
00:00:29,464 --> 00:00:31,031
connected spheres, creating the
15
00:00:31,031 --> 00:00:32,510
energy to travel to another
16
00:00:32,510 --> 00:00:33,859
world.
17
00:00:33,859 --> 00:00:35,470
Somehow, by
18
00:00:35,470 --> 00:00:37,037
touching these stones, we were
19
00:00:37,037 --> 00:00:38,429
able to establish a bridge
20
00:00:38,429 --> 00:00:39,691
to another dimension.
21
00:00:39,691 --> 00:00:42,433
Are ancient
22
00:00:42,433 --> 00:00:44,653
monoliths simply the product of
23
00:00:44,653 --> 00:00:48,222
prehistoric man's hard labor?
24
00:00:48,222 --> 00:00:49,832
Or are they the manifestation
25
00:00:49,832 --> 00:00:51,442
of a more profound power?
26
00:00:51,442 --> 00:00:52,530
Certainly
27
00:00:52,530 --> 00:00:54,054
in the past, that kind of
28
00:00:54,054 --> 00:00:57,709
technology could only come
29
00:00:57,709 --> 00:00:59,537
from extraterrestrials.
30
00:00:59,537 --> 00:01:01,365
Millions of people
31
00:01:01,365 --> 00:01:02,888
around the world believe we have
32
00:01:02,888 --> 00:01:04,586
been visited in the past
33
00:01:04,586 --> 00:01:06,588
by extraterrestrial beings.
34
00:01:06,588 --> 00:01:09,852
What if it were true?
35
00:01:09,852 --> 00:01:12,811
Did ancient aliens really help
36
00:01:12,811 --> 00:01:14,857
to shape our history?
37
00:01:14,857 --> 00:01:17,468
And if so, might there be
38
00:01:17,468 --> 00:01:20,428
evidence here on earth, hidden
39
00:01:20,428 --> 00:01:23,474
evidence here on earth, hidden
in the mysterious monoliths?
40
00:01:23,474 --> 00:01:54,636
In the mysterious monoliths?
41
00:01:54,636 --> 00:01:56,899
The Washington Monument.
42
00:01:56,899 --> 00:01:59,423
Built in the 19th century to
43
00:01:59,423 --> 00:02:01,382
commemorate the first president
44
00:02:01,382 --> 00:02:03,688
of the United States, it towers
45
00:02:03,688 --> 00:02:06,822
more than 555 feet above.
46
00:02:06,822 --> 00:02:09,781
America's capital city.
47
00:02:09,781 --> 00:02:12,567
Its pinnacle fashioned into a
48
00:02:12,567 --> 00:02:14,786
distinctive pyramid shape, the
49
00:02:14,786 --> 00:02:16,788
monument is considered to be the
50
00:02:16,788 --> 00:02:18,573
tallest stone obelisk in the
51
00:02:18,573 --> 00:02:19,922
world.
52
00:02:19,922 --> 00:02:21,141
Obelisk is a
53
00:02:21,141 --> 00:02:22,403
generic phrase used for the
54
00:02:22,403 --> 00:02:24,144
rectangular pillars that
55
00:02:24,144 --> 00:02:25,362
are a little pointy at the top
56
00:02:25,362 --> 00:02:26,798
that you find in ancient Egypt,
57
00:02:26,798 --> 00:02:27,930
ancient Rome.
58
00:02:27,930 --> 00:02:29,671
They would have writing on them.
59
00:02:29,671 --> 00:02:31,977
They were used often to record
60
00:02:31,977 --> 00:02:33,631
battles, special events,
61
00:02:33,631 --> 00:02:35,372
record the entire reign of a
62
00:02:35,372 --> 00:02:37,287
particular king or ruler.
63
00:02:37,287 --> 00:02:39,594
And so now, here
64
00:02:39,594 --> 00:02:41,073
in the United States, we've
65
00:02:41,073 --> 00:02:42,597
done a similar thing.
66
00:02:42,597 --> 00:02:44,381
The Washington Monument, a
67
00:02:44,381 --> 00:02:46,427
symbol of the United States and
68
00:02:46,427 --> 00:02:49,386
of the power in Washington D.C.
69
00:02:49,386 --> 00:02:51,606
The Washington Monument is built
70
00:02:51,606 --> 00:02:53,825
out of blocks of stone,
71
00:02:53,825 --> 00:02:56,088
but then it looks identical to
72
00:02:56,088 --> 00:02:58,134
an Egyptian obelisk, but those
73
00:02:58,134 --> 00:02:59,831
obelisks are different.
74
00:02:59,831 --> 00:03:03,618
They are one solid stone.
75
00:03:03,618 --> 00:03:05,663
Single standing
76
00:03:05,663 --> 00:03:07,665
massive stones are known as
77
00:03:07,665 --> 00:03:10,277
monoliths, and millions of them
78
00:03:10,277 --> 00:03:12,017
were used to construct monuments
79
00:03:12,017 --> 00:03:14,672
all across the ancient world,
80
00:03:14,672 --> 00:03:17,153
including locations such as
81
00:03:17,153 --> 00:03:20,374
Turkey, Peru,
82
00:03:20,374 --> 00:03:22,637
and Ethiopia.
83
00:03:22,637 --> 00:03:25,205
But why did ancient man begin
84
00:03:25,205 --> 00:03:27,207
to create these massive,
85
00:03:27,207 --> 00:03:29,121
monolithic structures?
86
00:03:29,121 --> 00:03:31,080
Could there be something
87
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,821
inherent in the quality of stone
88
00:03:32,821 --> 00:03:34,649
that might hold some sort of
89
00:03:34,649 --> 00:03:36,651
influence or power over mankind?
90
00:03:36,651 --> 00:03:39,436
Perhaps the answer can be found
91
00:03:39,436 --> 00:03:41,308
at a location 90 miles west
92
00:03:41,308 --> 00:03:43,353
of London
93
00:03:43,353 --> 00:03:46,313
of London in the English countryside.
94
00:03:46,313 --> 00:03:48,967
In the English countryside.
95
00:03:48,967 --> 00:03:52,275
In the English countryside.
Stonehenge, England.
96
00:03:52,275 --> 00:03:53,711
Stonehenge, England.
97
00:03:53,711 --> 00:03:55,713
Here, on the Salisbury plain in
98
00:03:55,713 --> 00:03:57,541
the county of Wiltshire, stands
99
00:03:57,541 --> 00:03:59,239
the most sophisticated
100
00:03:59,239 --> 00:04:01,153
prehistoric stone circle
101
00:04:01,153 --> 00:04:03,460
in the world.
102
00:04:03,460 --> 00:04:05,462
According to radiocarbon dating,
103
00:04:05,462 --> 00:04:07,682
this striking arrangement of
104
00:04:07,682 --> 00:04:09,684
monoliths was placed on this
105
00:04:09,684 --> 00:04:11,686
wide plain in Southern England
106
00:04:11,686 --> 00:04:14,819
more than 4,000 years ago.
107
00:04:14,819 --> 00:04:16,734
Consisting of more than 100
108
00:04:16,734 --> 00:04:18,388
stone blocks, the monoliths
109
00:04:18,388 --> 00:04:21,739
create a larger structure known
110
00:04:21,739 --> 00:04:23,393
as a megalith.
111
00:04:23,393 --> 00:04:25,743
There is a period
112
00:04:25,743 --> 00:04:27,310
in time, several thousand years
113
00:04:27,310 --> 00:04:29,443
ago, which is known as
114
00:04:29,443 --> 00:04:31,749
the megalithic time.
115
00:04:31,749 --> 00:04:34,230
And it is defined by the fact
116
00:04:34,230 --> 00:04:35,753
that our ancestors, pretty much
117
00:04:35,753 --> 00:04:37,451
in every part of civilization,
118
00:04:37,451 --> 00:04:39,279
began to build with gigantic
119
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:40,758
stones.
120
00:04:40,758 --> 00:04:42,499
These cultures,
121
00:04:42,499 --> 00:04:43,718
which were known as megalithic
122
00:04:43,718 --> 00:04:45,328
cultures, are something of a
123
00:04:45,328 --> 00:04:46,373
mystery to us.
124
00:04:46,373 --> 00:04:48,288
We have to ask ourselves why,
125
00:04:48,288 --> 00:04:51,421
all of a sudden, virtually,
126
00:04:51,421 --> 00:04:53,989
human beings across a broad
127
00:04:53,989 --> 00:04:55,382
stretch of Europe and Asia
128
00:04:55,382 --> 00:04:56,992
enly started to prize large
129
00:04:56,992 --> 00:04:59,037
pieces of rock free, drag them
130
00:04:59,037 --> 00:05:01,779
around the landscape, and then
131
00:05:01,779 --> 00:05:04,042
piling them up in very exotic
132
00:05:04,042 --> 00:05:07,176
piling them up in very exotic
and unusual ways.
133
00:05:07,176 --> 00:05:09,787
And unusual ways.
134
00:05:09,787 --> 00:05:11,354
Stonehenge, the
135
00:05:11,354 --> 00:05:13,138
world's most famous megalithic
136
00:05:13,138 --> 00:05:15,227
structure, derives its name from
137
00:05:15,227 --> 00:05:17,360
the material used to construct
138
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,841
it, and also from the term
139
00:05:19,841 --> 00:05:21,973
"henge," which refers to a
140
00:05:21,973 --> 00:05:23,801
circular or oval-shaped bank
141
00:05:23,801 --> 00:05:25,586
that surrounds a central flat
142
00:05:25,586 --> 00:05:26,935
area.
143
00:05:26,935 --> 00:05:28,415
Stonehenge...
144
00:05:28,415 --> 00:05:30,852
It's just 25% of the original
145
00:05:30,852 --> 00:05:33,811
monument.
146
00:05:33,811 --> 00:05:38,338
75% has been destroyed forever.
147
00:05:38,338 --> 00:05:40,209
Originally they had 60 huge
148
00:05:40,209 --> 00:05:42,994
blocks that formed a perfect
149
00:05:42,994 --> 00:05:44,822
circle.
150
00:05:44,822 --> 00:05:46,824
The question is, who was able to
151
00:05:46,824 --> 00:05:49,261
move them and what was the
152
00:05:49,261 --> 00:05:50,524
purpose?
153
00:05:50,524 --> 00:05:51,829
Although the
154
00:05:51,829 --> 00:05:53,527
specific origin of the site has
155
00:05:53,527 --> 00:05:55,180
eluded researchers for
156
00:05:55,180 --> 00:05:56,878
centuries, thysical
157
00:05:56,878 --> 00:05:58,880
construction of Stonehenge is
158
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,882
believed to have taken place in
159
00:06:00,882 --> 00:06:02,536
different stages over a period
160
00:06:02,536 --> 00:06:04,625
of several thousands of years.
161
00:06:04,625 --> 00:06:06,583
It's now
162
00:06:06,583 --> 00:06:08,019
believed the very first part of.
163
00:06:08,019 --> 00:06:09,543
Stonehenge is three great wooden
164
00:06:09,543 --> 00:06:11,849
postholes, which are now in the
165
00:06:11,849 --> 00:06:13,634
car park and there's blobs of
166
00:06:13,634 --> 00:06:15,113
paint on them.
167
00:06:15,113 --> 00:06:16,114
These are dated to at
168
00:06:16,114 --> 00:06:18,029
least 10,000 years old.
169
00:06:18,029 --> 00:06:19,640
The next phase of construction
170
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,337
at Stonehenge was around
171
00:06:21,337 --> 00:06:23,426
3200 to 3400 B.C.,
172
00:06:23,426 --> 00:06:25,907
where they built a great earthen
173
00:06:25,907 --> 00:06:27,952
henge and there was just a
174
00:06:27,952 --> 00:06:29,345
couple of stones there.
175
00:06:29,345 --> 00:06:30,999
Then a few hundred years later,
176
00:06:30,999 --> 00:06:32,522
they brought in the blue stones.
177
00:06:32,522 --> 00:06:34,263
And these are the ones that were
178
00:06:34,263 --> 00:06:35,699
brought over a hundred miles
179
00:06:35,699 --> 00:06:37,222
away from the Preseli Mountains
180
00:06:37,222 --> 00:06:38,398
in Wales.
181
00:06:38,398 --> 00:06:40,182
The major monoliths there, the
182
00:06:40,182 --> 00:06:41,749
great Sarsen stones, they were
183
00:06:41,749 --> 00:06:43,707
brought from much closer, about
184
00:06:43,707 --> 00:06:45,274
20 miles away.
185
00:06:45,274 --> 00:06:47,232
But then some of them weigh up
186
00:06:47,232 --> 00:06:48,625
to 50 tons.
187
00:06:48,625 --> 00:06:51,541
Multiton stones
188
00:06:51,541 --> 00:06:53,064
being carved from the landscape
189
00:06:53,064 --> 00:06:56,111
and transported distances of up
190
00:06:56,111 --> 00:06:59,636
to 100 miles.
191
00:06:59,636 --> 00:07:01,159
Is it really possible that a
192
00:07:01,159 --> 00:07:03,074
prehistoric people could
193
00:07:03,074 --> 00:07:04,946
accomplish such an enormous and
194
00:07:04,946 --> 00:07:07,296
seemingly impossible task?
195
00:07:07,296 --> 00:07:09,951
The theories really
196
00:07:09,951 --> 00:07:11,474
range from they either used
197
00:07:11,474 --> 00:07:13,694
rollers and tree trunks,
198
00:07:13,694 --> 00:07:16,261
which is kind of unlikely when
199
00:07:16,261 --> 00:07:17,393
you look at some of the terrain
200
00:07:17,393 --> 00:07:18,481
they would have
201
00:07:18,481 --> 00:07:19,656
had to go through.
202
00:07:19,656 --> 00:07:21,397
There have
203
00:07:21,397 --> 00:07:22,485
been teams of Brits who have
204
00:07:22,485 --> 00:07:23,660
tried to recapitulate
205
00:07:23,660 --> 00:07:25,401
these things.
206
00:07:25,401 --> 00:07:27,272
How did they get them across the
207
00:07:27,272 --> 00:07:28,448
rivers between Wales and.
208
00:07:28,448 --> 00:07:30,275
Stonehenge?
209
00:07:30,275 --> 00:07:32,364
How did they go up and down
210
00:07:32,364 --> 00:07:35,411
through valleys and over hills?
211
00:07:35,411 --> 00:07:38,458
One explanation
212
00:07:38,458 --> 00:07:39,589
associated with Stonehenge
213
00:07:39,589 --> 00:07:41,243
dates back to the.
214
00:07:41,243 --> 00:07:43,288
Arthurian legend,
215
00:07:43,288 --> 00:07:44,812
and the legend says that the
216
00:07:44,812 --> 00:07:46,466
stones at Stonehenge were
217
00:07:46,466 --> 00:07:48,424
brought from Ireland by Merlin,
218
00:07:48,424 --> 00:07:51,471
who was King Arthur's magician.
219
00:07:51,471 --> 00:07:53,385
Merlin was said to
220
00:07:53,385 --> 00:07:54,822
transport the stones by
221
00:07:54,822 --> 00:07:56,606
levitating them and pushing
222
00:07:56,606 --> 00:07:58,216
them along just with his bare
223
00:07:58,216 --> 00:08:01,350
hands, all the way across the
224
00:08:01,350 --> 00:08:03,004
landscape from Wales to.
225
00:08:03,004 --> 00:08:04,701
Stonehenge.
226
00:08:04,701 --> 00:08:06,442
The great
227
00:08:06,442 --> 00:08:08,444
20th century French philosopher
228
00:08:08,444 --> 00:08:09,880
and historian, Jean Marcel,
229
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,491
wrote over 40 books on the life
230
00:08:11,491 --> 00:08:13,014
of Merlin and Arthur and the
231
00:08:13,014 --> 00:08:14,406
Celtic traditions.
232
00:08:14,406 --> 00:08:17,322
And Marcel was adamant that
233
00:08:17,322 --> 00:08:18,541
Merlin was a real person.
234
00:08:18,541 --> 00:08:21,022
He was also adamant that Merlin
235
00:08:21,022 --> 00:08:22,502
was an incredibly powerful
236
00:08:22,502 --> 00:08:24,721
otherworldly being who was here
237
00:08:24,721 --> 00:08:26,506
to teach us to move beyond the
238
00:08:26,506 --> 00:08:28,377
human restrictions and
239
00:08:28,377 --> 00:08:30,771
human restrictions and boundaries.
240
00:08:30,771 --> 00:08:33,382
Boundaries.
241
00:08:33,382 --> 00:08:34,731
Could the legend of
242
00:08:34,731 --> 00:08:36,254
Merlin really be proof of
243
00:08:36,254 --> 00:08:38,126
contact with extraterrestrial
244
00:08:38,126 --> 00:08:41,085
entities in the ancient past
245
00:08:41,085 --> 00:08:44,698
and that they provided advanced
246
00:08:44,698 --> 00:08:47,657
technology to help transport and
247
00:08:47,657 --> 00:08:51,182
place the monoliths?
248
00:08:51,182 --> 00:08:53,358
If so, why would stone be the
249
00:08:53,358 --> 00:08:54,882
ideal material needed to
250
00:08:54,882 --> 00:08:56,536
construct the site?
251
00:08:56,536 --> 00:08:58,276
Probably it was
252
00:08:58,276 --> 00:09:01,062
worth using as a medium if you
253
00:09:01,062 --> 00:09:05,327
wanted to impress the gods.
254
00:09:05,327 --> 00:09:07,068
Because it was quite likely that
255
00:09:07,068 --> 00:09:08,373
people saw stone as being
256
00:09:08,373 --> 00:09:09,723
synonymous with gods, because it
257
00:09:09,723 --> 00:09:12,813
seemed to them to last forever.
258
00:09:12,813 --> 00:09:14,902
If they're
259
00:09:14,902 --> 00:09:17,469
gonna build a monument to
260
00:09:17,469 --> 00:09:19,123
provide a testament to how long
261
00:09:19,123 --> 00:09:20,385
lived their culture is, stones
262
00:09:20,385 --> 00:09:23,563
are the best way to go.
263
00:09:23,563 --> 00:09:25,303
Stones were recognized to have
264
00:09:25,303 --> 00:09:27,131
very spectacular properties of
265
00:09:27,131 --> 00:09:29,481
toughness, of hardness, and some
266
00:09:29,481 --> 00:09:32,267
of them, other properties
267
00:09:32,267 --> 00:09:33,964
such as quartz crystals, which
268
00:09:33,964 --> 00:09:35,487
we see with a particular use in
269
00:09:35,487 --> 00:09:39,404
a lot of these cultures.
270
00:09:39,404 --> 00:09:40,667
The blue stones that
271
00:09:40,667 --> 00:09:42,582
create the outer and inner
272
00:09:42,582 --> 00:09:44,105
circle of Stonehenge contain
273
00:09:44,105 --> 00:09:45,454
quartz crystal.
274
00:09:45,454 --> 00:09:47,848
The properties of those stones
275
00:09:47,848 --> 00:09:49,719
had been found to have effects
276
00:09:49,719 --> 00:09:52,461
on the human body, to impart
277
00:09:52,461 --> 00:09:55,507
vibration and beneficial effects
278
00:09:55,507 --> 00:09:57,814
to the holder of those stones,
279
00:09:57,814 --> 00:09:59,816
to have healing properties.
280
00:09:59,816 --> 00:10:01,339
And in fact, it's
281
00:10:01,339 --> 00:10:03,211
often been said Stonehenge was
282
00:10:03,211 --> 00:10:05,561
some healing place where people
283
00:10:05,561 --> 00:10:08,172
came, and with their ailments
284
00:10:08,172 --> 00:10:10,174
to be cured.
285
00:10:10,174 --> 00:10:12,350
For some
286
00:10:12,350 --> 00:10:13,525
researchers, further clues to.
287
00:10:13,525 --> 00:10:15,745
Stonehenge's extraterrestrial
288
00:10:15,745 --> 00:10:18,269
connection can be found in one
289
00:10:18,269 --> 00:10:19,488
of the site's most striking.
290
00:10:19,488 --> 00:10:22,186
The precise position
291
00:10:22,186 --> 00:10:24,449
and alignment of each stone that
292
00:10:24,449 --> 00:10:25,842
makes up the megalith.
293
00:10:25,842 --> 00:10:26,843
Seen
294
00:10:26,843 --> 00:10:29,280
from the air, Stonehenge is
295
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,195
actually a replica of our solar
296
00:10:31,195 --> 00:10:32,196
system.
297
00:10:32,196 --> 00:10:33,807
All those concentric circles,
298
00:10:33,807 --> 00:10:35,809
they all represent one planet in
299
00:10:35,809 --> 00:10:38,942
our solar system.
300
00:10:38,942 --> 00:10:40,335
How did they know this?
301
00:10:40,335 --> 00:10:41,771
And according to the ancient
302
00:10:41,771 --> 00:10:43,033
texts and the ancient
303
00:10:43,033 --> 00:10:44,905
traditions, this knowledge was
304
00:10:44,905 --> 00:10:46,994
given to our ancestors by none
305
00:10:46,994 --> 00:10:49,213
other than extraterrestrials,
306
00:10:49,213 --> 00:10:52,652
by the gods.
307
00:10:52,652 --> 00:10:54,262
Some people think.
308
00:10:54,262 --> 00:10:55,437
Stonehenge was some sort of
309
00:10:55,437 --> 00:10:56,830
calendar marker so that
310
00:10:56,830 --> 00:10:58,658
ancient cultures could know when
311
00:10:58,658 --> 00:11:01,008
was the right time to plant.
312
00:11:01,008 --> 00:11:02,487
Other people think that it
313
00:11:02,487 --> 00:11:04,533
actually was a celestial
314
00:11:04,533 --> 00:11:05,665
calendar that was designed to
315
00:11:05,665 --> 00:11:07,797
show when we would pass through
316
00:11:07,797 --> 00:11:09,364
certain very, very intense
317
00:11:09,364 --> 00:11:11,888
certain very, very intense
meteor streams.
318
00:11:11,888 --> 00:11:12,976
Meteor streams.
319
00:11:12,976 --> 00:11:14,369
We know that,
320
00:11:14,369 --> 00:11:15,587
through the position
321
00:11:15,587 --> 00:11:17,546
of different monoliths,
322
00:11:17,546 --> 00:11:19,417
they were able to watch the
323
00:11:19,417 --> 00:11:21,245
summer solstice, the winter
324
00:11:21,245 --> 00:11:23,421
solstice, even the movement
325
00:11:23,421 --> 00:11:26,860
of some star systems.
326
00:11:26,860 --> 00:11:28,296
So, who was it,
327
00:11:28,296 --> 00:11:29,601
then, who needed these
328
00:11:29,601 --> 00:11:33,693
astronomical calculations?
329
00:11:33,693 --> 00:11:35,390
Would it be the
330
00:11:35,390 --> 00:11:36,826
extraterrestrials?
331
00:11:36,826 --> 00:11:40,525
Or rather the priestly groups
332
00:11:40,525 --> 00:11:42,266
that the extraterrestrials were
333
00:11:42,266 --> 00:11:44,355
cultivating here on Earth, and
334
00:11:44,355 --> 00:11:48,272
training them to monitor the
335
00:11:48,272 --> 00:11:50,492
stars and the heavens and the
336
00:11:50,492 --> 00:11:52,668
moon and the eclipses.
337
00:11:52,668 --> 00:11:54,278
Is it really
338
00:11:54,278 --> 00:11:56,454
possible that otherworldly
339
00:11:56,454 --> 00:11:58,805
beings designed Stonehenge so
340
00:11:58,805 --> 00:12:00,720
ancient man could gather data
341
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,897
about the stars?
342
00:12:03,897 --> 00:12:06,029
If so, why?
343
00:12:06,029 --> 00:12:07,422
And what was the ultimate
344
00:12:07,422 --> 00:12:09,511
purpose behind obtaining
345
00:12:09,511 --> 00:12:12,122
celestial knowledge?
346
00:12:12,122 --> 00:12:13,733
Ancient astronaut theorists
347
00:12:13,733 --> 00:12:15,386
believe further clues can be
348
00:12:15,386 --> 00:12:17,345
found by traveling deeper into
349
00:12:17,345 --> 00:12:20,696
the English countryside to
350
00:12:20,696 --> 00:12:23,090
another monolithic site that is
351
00:12:23,090 --> 00:12:26,397
16 times larger than Stonehenge
352
00:12:26,397 --> 00:12:30,619
16 times larger than Stonehenge
and even more mysterious.
353
00:12:30,619 --> 00:12:35,580
And even more mysterious.
354
00:12:35,580 --> 00:12:39,759
Southwest England.
355
00:12:39,759 --> 00:12:42,196
Here, just 17 miles north
356
00:12:42,196 --> 00:12:47,157
of Stonehenge, is Avebury...
357
00:12:47,157 --> 00:12:49,551
the largest megalithic stone
358
00:12:49,551 --> 00:12:53,947
circle in the world.
359
00:12:53,947 --> 00:12:56,166
Originally constructed with
360
00:12:56,166 --> 00:12:57,777
hundreds of monoliths, some
361
00:12:57,777 --> 00:13:00,040
experts believe this immense
362
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,346
site was once a major center of
363
00:13:02,346 --> 00:13:03,826
religious ritual
364
00:13:03,826 --> 00:13:08,265
in Great Britain.
365
00:13:08,265 --> 00:13:09,484
Avebury is probably
366
00:13:09,484 --> 00:13:10,790
the most significant and most
367
00:13:10,790 --> 00:13:13,401
interesting megalithic site in.
368
00:13:13,401 --> 00:13:15,055
Great Britain, partly because
369
00:13:15,055 --> 00:13:17,013
it's the largest.
370
00:13:17,013 --> 00:13:18,362
Just imagine
371
00:13:18,362 --> 00:13:19,363
the magnitude of what
372
00:13:19,363 --> 00:13:20,669
we're dealing with here.
373
00:13:20,669 --> 00:13:22,149
There's now been a whole village
374
00:13:22,149 --> 00:13:23,541
built inside it because
375
00:13:23,541 --> 00:13:25,326
it's so large.
376
00:13:25,326 --> 00:13:26,327
The stones are huge.
377
00:13:26,327 --> 00:13:28,546
They're probably between 20
378
00:13:28,546 --> 00:13:30,548
and 50 tons each.
379
00:13:30,548 --> 00:13:31,593
They're rough-hewn stones
380
00:13:31,593 --> 00:13:32,768
in a great circle.
381
00:13:32,768 --> 00:13:34,074
And there were even two stone
382
00:13:34,074 --> 00:13:37,294
circles within Avebury itself.
383
00:13:37,294 --> 00:13:38,948
And these were roughly the same
384
00:13:38,948 --> 00:13:40,950
size of Stonehenge each.
385
00:13:40,950 --> 00:13:42,647
Old antiquarians once
386
00:13:42,647 --> 00:13:44,475
said that Stonehenge was like a.
387
00:13:44,475 --> 00:13:45,955
Parish church compared to.
388
00:13:45,955 --> 00:13:47,522
Avebury, which was like a
389
00:13:47,522 --> 00:13:51,613
great cathedral.
390
00:13:51,613 --> 00:13:53,528
Approaching.
391
00:13:53,528 --> 00:13:54,703
Avebury from at least
392
00:13:54,703 --> 00:13:56,313
two different directions
393
00:13:56,313 --> 00:13:59,316
were avenues of stones that led
394
00:13:59,316 --> 00:14:01,405
off into the local landscape.
395
00:14:01,405 --> 00:14:03,364
Plus, on top of that, there were
396
00:14:03,364 --> 00:14:04,756
other monuments locally as.
397
00:14:04,756 --> 00:14:07,759
Silbury Hill... the largest
398
00:14:07,759 --> 00:14:10,197
man-made mound in Europe... and
399
00:14:10,197 --> 00:14:12,939
the West Kennet Long Barrow,
400
00:14:12,939 --> 00:14:14,984
which was a burial chamber
401
00:14:14,984 --> 00:14:19,554
dating back perhaps 6,000 years.
402
00:14:19,554 --> 00:14:21,338
Encompassing more
403
00:14:21,338 --> 00:14:23,253
than 28 acres,
404
00:14:23,253 --> 00:14:25,342
mainstream historians believe.
405
00:14:25,342 --> 00:14:27,475
Avebury was constructed from
406
00:14:27,475 --> 00:14:31,348
2850 B.C. to 2200 B.C. by.
407
00:14:31,348 --> 00:14:33,655
Neolithic Britons, and like.
408
00:14:33,655 --> 00:14:36,179
Stonehenge, was used during
409
00:14:36,179 --> 00:14:37,659
sacred rituals.
410
00:14:37,659 --> 00:14:39,008
They were
411
00:14:39,008 --> 00:14:40,357
celebrating the different cycles
412
00:14:40,357 --> 00:14:42,185
of the years, the changing of
413
00:14:42,185 --> 00:14:43,360
the seasons.
414
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,232
It seems as if this
415
00:14:45,232 --> 00:14:47,364
was necessary within their
416
00:14:47,364 --> 00:14:49,845
society to show that there was
417
00:14:49,845 --> 00:14:51,586
some kind of rhythm and cycle
418
00:14:51,586 --> 00:14:55,938
within nature that was not only
419
00:14:55,938 --> 00:14:57,331
understood but could be
420
00:14:57,331 --> 00:15:01,074
controlled in some manner.
421
00:15:01,074 --> 00:15:04,729
By creating something like this,
422
00:15:04,729 --> 00:15:06,514
there is stability in the world,
423
00:15:06,514 --> 00:15:10,910
chaos and disorder cannot reign.
424
00:15:10,910 --> 00:15:12,389
Avebury was
425
00:15:12,389 --> 00:15:13,651
considered to be a meeting
426
00:15:13,651 --> 00:15:14,957
point.
427
00:15:14,957 --> 00:15:16,393
It's significant to the
428
00:15:16,393 --> 00:15:18,265
solstices at the midsummer and
429
00:15:18,265 --> 00:15:19,440
the midwinter.
430
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,398
But exactly what took place
431
00:15:21,398 --> 00:15:23,009
there and exactly what the
432
00:15:23,009 --> 00:15:24,532
people who built it believe,
433
00:15:24,532 --> 00:15:27,448
we don't know.
434
00:15:27,448 --> 00:15:28,536
According to some
435
00:15:28,536 --> 00:15:30,233
researchers, there may be a
436
00:15:30,233 --> 00:15:32,409
profound purpose for this
437
00:15:32,409 --> 00:15:34,455
circular alignment of stones at.
438
00:15:34,455 --> 00:15:37,588
Avebury, one perhaps connecting
439
00:15:37,588 --> 00:15:39,460
the monoliths to celestial
440
00:15:39,460 --> 00:15:41,505
beings that visited the site
441
00:15:41,505 --> 00:15:43,899
thousands of years ago.
442
00:15:43,899 --> 00:15:45,466
The area around.
443
00:15:45,466 --> 00:15:46,728
Avebury has always been
444
00:15:46,728 --> 00:15:48,469
associated with kind of magic
445
00:15:48,469 --> 00:15:49,557
and mystery.
446
00:15:49,557 --> 00:15:51,385
There's been lots
447
00:15:51,385 --> 00:15:54,388
of orbs seen there, UFOs.
448
00:15:54,388 --> 00:15:56,520
There's been ghost sightings.
449
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,000
There's been hundreds of crop
450
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,393
circles around the area.
451
00:15:59,393 --> 00:16:01,177
So it's got this strange
452
00:16:01,177 --> 00:16:05,225
mystical feeling about it.
453
00:16:05,225 --> 00:16:06,574
The mythologies in
454
00:16:06,574 --> 00:16:09,490
conjunction with Avebury
455
00:16:09,490 --> 00:16:11,318
always point to the sky,
456
00:16:11,318 --> 00:16:13,494
to some celestial beings...
457
00:16:13,494 --> 00:16:15,496
The "shining ones," as they
458
00:16:15,496 --> 00:16:17,759
were called, descending from the
459
00:16:17,759 --> 00:16:20,327
sky and educating people in
460
00:16:20,327 --> 00:16:21,676
various disciplines:
461
00:16:21,676 --> 00:16:23,983
Agriculture, mathematics,
462
00:16:23,983 --> 00:16:26,898
geometry, engineering.
463
00:16:26,898 --> 00:16:28,465
In many cases with.
464
00:16:28,465 --> 00:16:30,554
Avebury and other giant
465
00:16:30,554 --> 00:16:31,947
megaliths, it's as if
466
00:16:31,947 --> 00:16:34,297
they are set up by some
467
00:16:34,297 --> 00:16:37,213
ancient people, perhaps an
468
00:16:37,213 --> 00:16:38,345
extraterrestrial race,
469
00:16:38,345 --> 00:16:41,000
who essentially went out and
470
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,742
surveyed these wilderness lands.
471
00:16:44,742 --> 00:16:48,268
And as part of their surveying,
472
00:16:48,268 --> 00:16:49,834
they left what we would call
473
00:16:49,834 --> 00:16:51,923
gigantic survey markers.
474
00:16:51,923 --> 00:16:54,535
And then at certain places for
475
00:16:54,535 --> 00:16:56,189
unknown reasons, they made stone
476
00:16:56,189 --> 00:16:58,017
circles like Avebury.
477
00:16:58,017 --> 00:16:59,975
It is pretty clear
478
00:16:59,975 --> 00:17:01,324
that in Avebury
479
00:17:01,324 --> 00:17:02,543
you have this fenced-off
480
00:17:02,543 --> 00:17:05,589
environment whereby probably
481
00:17:05,589 --> 00:17:07,287
only certain people were able to
482
00:17:07,287 --> 00:17:09,419
come because the stones somehow
483
00:17:09,419 --> 00:17:11,421
embodied the deities.
484
00:17:11,421 --> 00:17:12,640
Maybe they thought that they
485
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,076
could communicate with the
486
00:17:14,076 --> 00:17:15,556
deities through these
487
00:17:15,556 --> 00:17:16,818
monolithic stones.
488
00:17:16,818 --> 00:17:19,560
And we're once again to this
489
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,389
time frame of a civilization who
490
00:17:22,389 --> 00:17:24,217
said that at one point in time,
491
00:17:24,217 --> 00:17:25,827
the deities were physically
492
00:17:25,827 --> 00:17:28,177
present.
493
00:17:28,177 --> 00:17:29,570
Could Avebury's
494
00:17:29,570 --> 00:17:31,354
location and building materials
495
00:17:31,354 --> 00:17:33,008
really have been chosen in order
496
00:17:33,008 --> 00:17:34,923
to enable communication with
497
00:17:34,923 --> 00:17:37,230
extraterrestrials?
498
00:17:37,230 --> 00:17:39,971
And if so, might this explain
499
00:17:39,971 --> 00:17:41,669
why man has been drawn to stone
500
00:17:41,669 --> 00:17:43,758
structures throughout the world
501
00:17:43,758 --> 00:17:47,370
since ancient times?
502
00:17:47,370 --> 00:17:48,980
Perhaps the answers can be found
503
00:17:48,980 --> 00:17:52,375
at another mysterious city, one
504
00:17:52,375 --> 00:17:53,855
that was built on top
505
00:17:53,855 --> 00:17:55,552
that was built on top of a giant rock.
506
00:17:55,552 --> 00:17:57,424
Of a giant rock.
507
00:17:57,424 --> 00:17:58,729
Sigiriya,
508
00:17:58,729 --> 00:18:00,601
Sri Lanka.
509
00:18:00,601 --> 00:18:03,430
Known as Lion's Rock, this
510
00:18:03,430 --> 00:18:06,346
natural monolith towers 600 feet
511
00:18:06,346 --> 00:18:12,091
over the surrounding landscape.
512
00:18:12,091 --> 00:18:13,048
It was discovered
513
00:18:13,048 --> 00:18:14,397
in 1831 by a British Army
514
00:18:14,397 --> 00:18:17,357
officer named Jonathan Forbes.
515
00:18:17,357 --> 00:18:18,967
What he found there was a
516
00:18:18,967 --> 00:18:23,363
natural monolith, a giant cliff
517
00:18:23,363 --> 00:18:26,888
rock, and stairs had been cut
518
00:18:26,888 --> 00:18:29,673
into it, and then a palace had
519
00:18:29,673 --> 00:18:31,327
been built on top.
520
00:18:31,327 --> 00:18:33,460
And it's extremely remote area.
521
00:18:33,460 --> 00:18:36,854
And it's extremely remote area.
And high-up vertical cliffs.
522
00:18:36,854 --> 00:18:38,682
And high-up vertical cliffs.
523
00:18:38,682 --> 00:18:40,031
Sigiriya was
524
00:18:40,031 --> 00:18:42,469
certainly a Buddhist monastery
525
00:18:42,469 --> 00:18:47,474
from the first millennium B.C.
526
00:18:47,474 --> 00:18:51,347
And then, around 500 A.D., it
527
00:18:51,347 --> 00:18:53,654
actually became a fortress and
528
00:18:53,654 --> 00:18:56,004
actually became a fortress and
a palace for a local king.
529
00:18:56,004 --> 00:18:57,701
A palace for a local king.
530
00:18:57,701 --> 00:18:59,486
There are gardens, palaces on
531
00:18:59,486 --> 00:19:04,447
the very top of the rock.
532
00:19:04,447 --> 00:19:06,536
Then there's various caves and
533
00:19:06,536 --> 00:19:08,930
within these caves are different
534
00:19:08,930 --> 00:19:11,715
murals.
535
00:19:11,715 --> 00:19:13,108
These fresco
536
00:19:13,108 --> 00:19:14,849
paintings feature portraits of
537
00:19:14,849 --> 00:19:17,112
women that some researchers
538
00:19:17,112 --> 00:19:19,114
believe represent ladies of the
539
00:19:19,114 --> 00:19:21,508
king's court, while others
540
00:19:21,508 --> 00:19:23,379
suggest the women are religious
541
00:19:23,379 --> 00:19:25,425
figures.
542
00:19:25,425 --> 00:19:26,687
But according to ancient
543
00:19:26,687 --> 00:19:29,385
astronaut theorists, the images
544
00:19:29,385 --> 00:19:31,431
reveal more evidence of
545
00:19:31,431 --> 00:19:33,868
extraterrestrial contact in the
546
00:19:33,868 --> 00:19:36,262
distant past.
547
00:19:36,262 --> 00:19:37,219
We find some of
548
00:19:37,219 --> 00:19:39,308
the most amazing paintings of
549
00:19:39,308 --> 00:19:41,310
people emerging out of the
550
00:19:41,310 --> 00:19:43,182
clouds.
551
00:19:43,182 --> 00:19:45,053
And they're actually floating in
552
00:19:45,053 --> 00:19:46,576
mid-air.
553
00:19:46,576 --> 00:19:48,317
And you have to wonder, what
554
00:19:48,317 --> 00:19:50,363
did our ancestors try to depict
555
00:19:50,363 --> 00:19:52,278
here?
556
00:19:52,278 --> 00:19:53,322
According to the local myths and
557
00:19:53,322 --> 00:19:56,195
legends, Sigiriya was created
558
00:19:56,195 --> 00:19:58,458
with the help of the gods who
559
00:19:58,458 --> 00:20:00,503
descended from the sky.
560
00:20:00,503 --> 00:20:03,245
What a beautiful, poetic way to
561
00:20:03,245 --> 00:20:04,899
depict something that they might
562
00:20:04,899 --> 00:20:07,467
have witnessed.
563
00:20:07,467 --> 00:20:08,511
It was a complete
564
00:20:08,511 --> 00:20:10,818
misunderstanding of a visitation
565
00:20:10,818 --> 00:20:12,515
by technologically advanced
566
00:20:12,515 --> 00:20:15,518
space travelers.
567
00:20:15,518 --> 00:20:16,780
Is it possible
568
00:20:16,780 --> 00:20:18,782
these paintings depict actual
569
00:20:18,782 --> 00:20:21,350
sky beings descending to Earth,
570
00:20:21,350 --> 00:20:23,178
as ancient astronaut theorists
571
00:20:23,178 --> 00:20:24,440
suggest?
572
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,921
And if so, might there be
573
00:20:26,921 --> 00:20:29,271
another, more profound reason
574
00:20:29,271 --> 00:20:31,534
why ancient man built a city on
575
00:20:31,534 --> 00:20:34,668
top of this massive monolith?
576
00:20:34,668 --> 00:20:35,973
We see so often how
577
00:20:35,973 --> 00:20:38,367
these enigmatic rocks are
578
00:20:38,367 --> 00:20:41,283
worshipped by our ancestors.
579
00:20:41,283 --> 00:20:43,677
They somehow are gateways
580
00:20:43,677 --> 00:20:45,418
between our world and the world
581
00:20:45,418 --> 00:20:48,421
of the gods.
582
00:20:48,421 --> 00:20:49,552
And so in Sigiriya we're seeing
583
00:20:49,552 --> 00:20:52,468
this once again confirmed.
584
00:20:52,468 --> 00:20:53,469
The very
585
00:20:53,469 --> 00:20:54,818
concept of a monolith can be
586
00:20:54,818 --> 00:20:56,820
very important, very sacred
587
00:20:56,820 --> 00:20:58,300
people.
588
00:20:58,300 --> 00:20:59,649
Also, the concept of the
589
00:20:59,649 --> 00:21:02,304
mountain reaching to heaven.
590
00:21:02,304 --> 00:21:03,392
It makes me think of the
591
00:21:03,392 --> 00:21:06,047
celestial or the cosmic Mount.
592
00:21:06,047 --> 00:21:08,354
Meru.
593
00:21:08,354 --> 00:21:09,442
Mount Meru
594
00:21:09,442 --> 00:21:12,314
is a name used in Buddhist
595
00:21:12,314 --> 00:21:15,012
cultures to describe a cosmic
596
00:21:15,012 --> 00:21:16,536
mountain.
597
00:21:16,536 --> 00:21:18,015
It's actually described in
598
00:21:18,015 --> 00:21:20,104
ancient literature as a mass of
599
00:21:20,104 --> 00:21:21,889
golden light, like a golden
600
00:21:21,889 --> 00:21:24,152
blazing fire in the shape of a
601
00:21:24,152 --> 00:21:25,675
mountain.
602
00:21:25,675 --> 00:21:27,242
It's at the center of the
603
00:21:27,242 --> 00:21:29,375
universe, and it exists at many
604
00:21:29,375 --> 00:21:31,333
levels from there, not in a
605
00:21:31,333 --> 00:21:33,509
physical sense but in an energy
606
00:21:33,509 --> 00:21:35,032
sense.
607
00:21:35,032 --> 00:21:36,599
The gods live on the slopes of
608
00:21:36,599 --> 00:21:38,209
it, they all have palaces and
609
00:21:38,209 --> 00:21:40,473
cities.
610
00:21:40,473 --> 00:21:41,648
Mount Meru was a
611
00:21:41,648 --> 00:21:43,345
place of the gods.
612
00:21:43,345 --> 00:21:45,521
It was seen as the place of
613
00:21:45,521 --> 00:21:47,001
connection, a place of
614
00:21:47,001 --> 00:21:48,698
communication with the gods
615
00:21:48,698 --> 00:21:50,526
themselves.
616
00:21:50,526 --> 00:21:52,485
It's the point of access between
617
00:21:52,485 --> 00:21:55,444
this world and Heaven.
618
00:21:55,444 --> 00:21:57,098
Sigiriya is
619
00:21:57,098 --> 00:21:58,447
basically the small-scale
620
00:21:58,447 --> 00:22:01,320
replica of Mount Meru.
621
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:02,930
Our ancestors took to this rock
622
00:22:02,930 --> 00:22:04,366
and began to build on top of
623
00:22:04,366 --> 00:22:05,541
that.
624
00:22:05,541 --> 00:22:06,934
It is saying, "This is the rock"
625
00:22:06,934 --> 00:22:08,805
we have in this specific place.
626
00:22:08,805 --> 00:22:11,330
So we're gonna use it in order
627
00:22:11,330 --> 00:22:13,288
to establish an uplink and a
628
00:22:13,288 --> 00:22:15,029
downlink to the gods in the
629
00:22:15,029 --> 00:22:17,771
"sky."
630
00:22:17,771 --> 00:22:18,946
Is it possible that.
631
00:22:18,946 --> 00:22:20,948
Sigiriya was built in order to
632
00:22:20,948 --> 00:22:22,428
honor and connect with
633
00:22:22,428 --> 00:22:24,517
extraterrestrials, as ancient
634
00:22:24,517 --> 00:22:29,130
astronaut theorists believe?
635
00:22:29,130 --> 00:22:31,393
If so, might other monoliths
636
00:22:31,393 --> 00:22:33,700
reveal more evidence of these
637
00:22:33,700 --> 00:22:37,356
ancient space visitations?
638
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:39,532
Perhaps the ultimate proof can
639
00:22:39,532 --> 00:22:42,099
be found carved in stones buried
640
00:22:42,099 --> 00:22:45,015
be found carved in stones buried
half a world away.
641
00:22:45,015 --> 00:22:52,588
Half a world away.
642
00:22:52,588 --> 00:22:54,460
Easter Island.
643
00:22:54,460 --> 00:22:57,071
Isolated in the Pacific Ocean
644
00:22:57,071 --> 00:22:59,029
more than 2,000 miles west of
645
00:22:59,029 --> 00:23:02,076
Chile, this tiny landmass is
646
00:23:02,076 --> 00:23:04,383
home to nearly 900 monolithic
647
00:23:04,383 --> 00:23:07,473
stone statues.
648
00:23:07,473 --> 00:23:08,778
On Easter Island we
649
00:23:08,778 --> 00:23:10,693
have these huge heads and torsos
650
00:23:10,693 --> 00:23:11,781
that are carved out of the
651
00:23:11,781 --> 00:23:13,566
volcanic rock.
652
00:23:13,566 --> 00:23:16,090
They are called the moai.
653
00:23:16,090 --> 00:23:17,526
Some of them that have been
654
00:23:17,526 --> 00:23:20,486
erected are 30 feet or so tall,
655
00:23:20,486 --> 00:23:24,707
weighing up to 75 tons.
656
00:23:24,707 --> 00:23:26,187
You don't realize
657
00:23:26,187 --> 00:23:27,841
that they're really buried right
658
00:23:27,841 --> 00:23:30,234
that they're really buried right
up to their chest.
659
00:23:30,234 --> 00:23:31,410
Up to their chest.
660
00:23:31,410 --> 00:23:34,282
And that these statues are two,
661
00:23:34,282 --> 00:23:36,763
three times as large as we can
662
00:23:36,763 --> 00:23:38,329
see because most of them is
663
00:23:38,329 --> 00:23:42,290
below ground.
664
00:23:42,290 --> 00:23:44,074
Many of the statues, they're
665
00:23:44,074 --> 00:23:45,859
often times sort of sideways,
666
00:23:45,859 --> 00:23:48,339
looking up.
667
00:23:48,339 --> 00:23:49,428
They look inward
668
00:23:49,428 --> 00:23:52,387
toward the center of the island.
669
00:23:52,387 --> 00:23:53,823
They also seem to look up toward
670
00:23:53,823 --> 00:23:55,782
the skies.
671
00:23:55,782 --> 00:23:57,914
So I think there's a deeper
672
00:23:57,914 --> 00:23:59,525
significance and it has to do
673
00:23:59,525 --> 00:24:00,439
with the heavens.
674
00:24:00,439 --> 00:24:01,527
It has to do with things that
675
00:24:01,527 --> 00:24:03,137
were happening in the sky that
676
00:24:03,137 --> 00:24:04,573
were very important to the
677
00:24:04,573 --> 00:24:06,445
people and that they are
678
00:24:06,445 --> 00:24:09,143
recording in these moai, and
679
00:24:09,143 --> 00:24:11,711
pointing to look upward.
680
00:24:11,711 --> 00:24:12,842
There's something going on
681
00:24:12,842 --> 00:24:16,846
there.
682
00:24:16,846 --> 00:24:17,673
According to
683
00:24:17,673 --> 00:24:19,545
archaeologists, the native.
684
00:24:19,545 --> 00:24:21,460
Polynesian inhabitants of Easter.
685
00:24:21,460 --> 00:24:24,419
Island... known as the Rapa Nui
686
00:24:24,419 --> 00:24:27,378
people... constructed the moai
687
00:24:27,378 --> 00:24:28,989
between the 12th and 18th
688
00:24:28,989 --> 00:24:31,165
centuries A.D. to honor their
689
00:24:31,165 --> 00:24:33,210
ancestors.
690
00:24:33,210 --> 00:24:35,343
But recent archaeological
691
00:24:35,343 --> 00:24:37,780
excavations have revealed that
692
00:24:37,780 --> 00:24:39,173
the figures were naturally
693
00:24:39,173 --> 00:24:40,479
buried over thousands of
694
00:24:40,479 --> 00:24:42,872
years, making them much older
695
00:24:42,872 --> 00:24:46,963
than originally believed.
696
00:24:46,963 --> 00:24:48,530
From a geological
697
00:24:48,530 --> 00:24:50,619
perspective, to bury the moai in
698
00:24:50,619 --> 00:24:52,752
20 feet or more of sediment
699
00:24:52,752 --> 00:24:54,188
suggests that they are
700
00:24:54,188 --> 00:24:56,016
potentially thousands of years
701
00:24:56,016 --> 00:24:59,236
old, much older than traditional
702
00:24:59,236 --> 00:25:02,501
archaeologists have suggested.
703
00:25:02,501 --> 00:25:03,980
The idea that
704
00:25:03,980 --> 00:25:06,243
they were built 1,000 or 1,500
705
00:25:06,243 --> 00:25:09,333
or 700 years ago, not realistic.
706
00:25:09,333 --> 00:25:11,335
They were built much, much
707
00:25:11,335 --> 00:25:12,946
before that.
708
00:25:12,946 --> 00:25:14,948
It seemed that certain guests
709
00:25:14,948 --> 00:25:19,822
came, built them, and probably
710
00:25:19,822 --> 00:25:22,433
those heads do represent their
711
00:25:22,433 --> 00:25:24,348
original builders.
712
00:25:24,348 --> 00:25:25,698
If the moai are
713
00:25:25,698 --> 00:25:26,699
older than previously
714
00:25:26,699 --> 00:25:30,050
recognized, who really built
715
00:25:30,050 --> 00:25:33,880
them and why?
716
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,404
Considering the Rapa Nui are
717
00:25:36,404 --> 00:25:37,448
thought to have arrived on.
718
00:25:37,448 --> 00:25:39,538
Easter Island no earlier than
719
00:25:39,538 --> 00:25:43,759
300 A.D., is it possible that
720
00:25:43,759 --> 00:25:46,022
celestial beings visited here
721
00:25:46,022 --> 00:25:48,982
thousands of years before?
722
00:25:48,982 --> 00:25:51,375
Ancient astronaut theorists
723
00:25:51,375 --> 00:25:53,377
believe these monolithic figures
724
00:25:53,377 --> 00:25:55,902
provide clues that the Rapa Nui
725
00:25:55,902 --> 00:25:58,339
ancestors may have actually been
726
00:25:58,339 --> 00:26:01,690
ancestors may have actually been
space travelers.
727
00:26:01,690 --> 00:26:06,565
Space travelers.
728
00:26:06,565 --> 00:26:07,566
You cannot
729
00:26:07,566 --> 00:26:09,002
exclude that they are
730
00:26:09,002 --> 00:26:11,308
representation of celestial
731
00:26:11,308 --> 00:26:12,832
ancestors.
732
00:26:12,832 --> 00:26:14,921
We have all these statues, and
733
00:26:14,921 --> 00:26:17,358
the faces of the statues do not
734
00:26:17,358 --> 00:26:21,318
look like the Easter Islanders.
735
00:26:21,318 --> 00:26:23,451
The statues they created, they
736
00:26:23,451 --> 00:26:26,672
look like robots with long,
737
00:26:26,672 --> 00:26:30,632
narrow noses, with narrow lips.
738
00:26:30,632 --> 00:26:32,982
They have nothing which compares
739
00:26:32,982 --> 00:26:35,158
the Easter Island people.
740
00:26:35,158 --> 00:26:37,334
The Easter Island people.
So what do they represent?
741
00:26:37,334 --> 00:26:38,771
So what do they represent?
742
00:26:38,771 --> 00:26:41,164
They are elongated
743
00:26:41,164 --> 00:26:42,165
heads.
744
00:26:42,165 --> 00:26:44,428
They are also these cone heads
745
00:26:44,428 --> 00:26:47,518
that we see at Nazca and Egypt
746
00:26:47,518 --> 00:26:49,085
and other areas of the world.
747
00:26:49,085 --> 00:26:51,348
And other areas of the world.
Who are these people?
748
00:26:51,348 --> 00:26:53,481
Who are these people?
749
00:26:53,481 --> 00:26:54,525
One possible
750
00:26:54,525 --> 00:26:56,092
explanation for why these heads
751
00:26:56,092 --> 00:26:58,355
of the Easter Island stone
752
00:26:58,355 --> 00:27:00,183
figures face the heavens.
753
00:27:00,183 --> 00:27:01,663
It's as if they were pointing a
754
00:27:01,663 --> 00:27:03,230
finger to their place of origin,
755
00:27:03,230 --> 00:27:05,449
but not because they forgot
756
00:27:05,449 --> 00:27:07,887
where they came from, but so the
757
00:27:07,887 --> 00:27:09,845
where they came from, but so the
humans could remember.
758
00:27:09,845 --> 00:27:11,934
Humans could remember.
759
00:27:11,934 --> 00:27:13,066
Is it possible the
760
00:27:13,066 --> 00:27:14,633
moai heads represent
761
00:27:14,633 --> 00:27:16,460
extraterrestrial beings,
762
00:27:16,460 --> 00:27:18,375
nodding toward their
763
00:27:18,375 --> 00:27:19,768
otherworldly origin?
764
00:27:19,768 --> 00:27:22,379
Ancient astronaut theorists say
765
00:27:22,379 --> 00:27:25,208
yes and point to similar stone
766
00:27:25,208 --> 00:27:27,602
figures thousands of miles away
767
00:27:27,602 --> 00:27:31,345
figures thousands of miles away
in Southeast Asia as proof.
768
00:27:31,345 --> 00:27:34,565
In Southeast Asia as proof.
769
00:27:34,565 --> 00:27:38,395
Bada Valley, Indonesia.
770
00:27:39,396 --> 00:27:41,398
Hidden in the isolated mountains
771
00:27:41,398 --> 00:27:45,576
of the island of Sulawesi,
772
00:27:45,576 --> 00:27:46,752
more than 20 monoliths are
773
00:27:46,752 --> 00:27:48,405
scattered in the fields of this
774
00:27:48,405 --> 00:27:50,625
farming region.
775
00:27:50,625 --> 00:27:53,584
Mainstream historians date the
776
00:27:53,584 --> 00:27:55,456
statues to the first millennium
777
00:27:55,456 --> 00:27:58,415
B.C., although the actual date
778
00:27:58,415 --> 00:28:00,156
of their creation has not been
779
00:28:00,156 --> 00:28:01,810
determined.
780
00:28:01,810 --> 00:28:02,942
Much of the valley
781
00:28:02,942 --> 00:28:05,118
has rice terraces, which are
782
00:28:05,118 --> 00:28:07,163
familiar throughout Indonesia
783
00:28:07,163 --> 00:28:08,512
and Southeast Asia.
784
00:28:08,512 --> 00:28:10,384
But then in the middle of these
785
00:28:10,384 --> 00:28:13,126
rice paddies are these statues,
786
00:28:13,126 --> 00:28:15,041
rice paddies are these statues,
and they're just sitting there.
787
00:28:15,041 --> 00:28:17,565
And they're just sitting there.
788
00:28:17,565 --> 00:28:19,523
And when you look at it, you're.
789
00:28:19,523 --> 00:28:21,438
And when you look at it, you're baffled.
790
00:28:21,438 --> 00:28:23,527
Baffled.
791
00:28:23,527 --> 00:28:25,138
The stones are coming from
792
00:28:25,138 --> 00:28:27,488
these deep river valleys that
793
00:28:27,488 --> 00:28:30,447
are some miles away where there
794
00:28:30,447 --> 00:28:33,189
are giant boulders weighing 100
795
00:28:33,189 --> 00:28:34,974
tons.
796
00:28:34,974 --> 00:28:36,540
But then to haul those giant
797
00:28:36,540 --> 00:28:40,283
boulders up into the valley and
798
00:28:40,283 --> 00:28:44,026
then erect it, then carve it
799
00:28:44,026 --> 00:28:47,029
into this giant 15-foot statue.
800
00:28:47,029 --> 00:28:48,422
And you don't know why they.
801
00:28:48,422 --> 00:28:51,991
And you don't know why they
would do it or how.
802
00:28:51,991 --> 00:28:53,514
Would do it or how.
803
00:28:53,514 --> 00:28:54,515
The Bada Valley
804
00:28:54,515 --> 00:28:56,125
in Indonesia features some of
805
00:28:56,125 --> 00:28:57,823
the most magnificent megalithic
806
00:28:57,823 --> 00:28:59,825
the most magnificent megalithic
structures that we can find.
807
00:28:59,825 --> 00:29:01,043
Structures that we can find.
808
00:29:01,043 --> 00:29:03,045
Giant statues that are very
809
00:29:03,045 --> 00:29:04,655
reminiscent to the statues that
810
00:29:04,655 --> 00:29:05,918
we can find, for example, on.
811
00:29:05,918 --> 00:29:07,658
Easter Island.
812
00:29:07,658 --> 00:29:09,269
But how is it that
813
00:29:09,269 --> 00:29:10,487
monoliths halfway around the
814
00:29:10,487 --> 00:29:12,446
world can bear such a close
815
00:29:12,446 --> 00:29:15,492
resemblance to each other?
816
00:29:15,492 --> 00:29:17,233
Some researchers believe the
817
00:29:17,233 --> 00:29:18,495
inspiration came from the same
818
00:29:18,495 --> 00:29:21,585
celestial visitors.
819
00:29:21,585 --> 00:29:23,805
You get similar style
820
00:29:23,805 --> 00:29:25,546
carvings of these very strange
821
00:29:25,546 --> 00:29:27,940
sort of alien-looking faces,
822
00:29:27,940 --> 00:29:29,593
which are very symmetrical, very
823
00:29:29,593 --> 00:29:31,073
beautifully carved.
824
00:29:31,073 --> 00:29:33,554
They have intricate kind of
825
00:29:33,554 --> 00:29:36,731
craftsmanship built into them.
826
00:29:36,731 --> 00:29:38,124
They wanted to make
827
00:29:38,124 --> 00:29:39,560
them resemble what, in my
828
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:40,691
opinion, was a depiction of the
829
00:29:40,691 --> 00:29:42,998
opinion, was a depiction of the
ancestors, the gods.
830
00:29:42,998 --> 00:29:45,044
Ancestors, the gods.
831
00:29:45,044 --> 00:29:46,436
Which somehow these stones were
832
00:29:46,436 --> 00:29:48,656
allowing to commemorate or
833
00:29:48,656 --> 00:29:51,093
communicate with these entities.
834
00:29:51,093 --> 00:29:53,052
They're basically telling us,
835
00:29:53,052 --> 00:29:55,576
this is a memorial to our gods,
836
00:29:55,576 --> 00:29:56,795
the deities who were once
837
00:29:56,795 --> 00:29:58,274
present, and who have left
838
00:29:58,274 --> 00:30:00,189
present, and who have left since.
839
00:30:00,189 --> 00:30:02,278
Since.
840
00:30:02,278 --> 00:30:03,323
Is it possible,
841
00:30:03,323 --> 00:30:05,325
as ancient astronaut theorists
842
00:30:05,325 --> 00:30:07,762
suggest, that these monoliths
843
00:30:07,762 --> 00:30:10,547
were created by mankind to pay
844
00:30:10,547 --> 00:30:12,767
homage to actual otherworldly
845
00:30:12,767 --> 00:30:15,204
beings who visited Earth in the
846
00:30:15,204 --> 00:30:17,293
distant past?
847
00:30:17,293 --> 00:30:20,079
And if so, might monoliths
848
00:30:20,079 --> 00:30:22,168
throughout the world have an
849
00:30:22,168 --> 00:30:24,126
even more profound connection to
850
00:30:24,126 --> 00:30:26,346
each other?
851
00:30:26,346 --> 00:30:27,826
Some researchers believe the
852
00:30:27,826 --> 00:30:30,132
answers can be found by taking a
853
00:30:30,132 --> 00:30:32,352
closer look at sphere-shaped
854
00:30:32,352 --> 00:30:34,876
stones hidden in the jungles of
855
00:30:34,876 --> 00:30:38,271
stones hidden in the jungles of
Costa Rica.
856
00:30:38,271 --> 00:30:47,541
Costa Rica.
857
00:30:47,541 --> 00:30:49,543
Palmar Sur, Costa.
858
00:30:49,543 --> 00:30:51,414
Rica.
859
00:30:51,414 --> 00:30:53,199
While clearing the jungles in
860
00:30:53,199 --> 00:30:57,072
the 1930s, crews discover
861
00:30:57,072 --> 00:30:58,813
hundreds of monolithic stone
862
00:30:58,813 --> 00:31:00,728
hundreds of monolithic stone spheres.
863
00:31:00,728 --> 00:31:02,425
Spheres.
864
00:31:02,425 --> 00:31:04,471
Many of them are
865
00:31:04,471 --> 00:31:05,472
huge.
866
00:31:05,472 --> 00:31:07,474
I mean, they're ten feet in
867
00:31:07,474 --> 00:31:08,475
diameter.
868
00:31:08,475 --> 00:31:10,390
Diameter.
They're gigantically huge.
869
00:31:10,390 --> 00:31:13,523
They're gigantically huge.
870
00:31:13,523 --> 00:31:16,135
Others are much smaller, the
871
00:31:16,135 --> 00:31:19,181
size of a basketball or of a car
872
00:31:19,181 --> 00:31:21,967
tire or something like that.
873
00:31:21,967 --> 00:31:24,447
To date, over 300
874
00:31:24,447 --> 00:31:25,971
stone spheres have been
875
00:31:25,971 --> 00:31:27,581
found at archaeological sites
876
00:31:27,581 --> 00:31:29,322
across the region.
877
00:31:29,322 --> 00:31:31,498
And Las Bolas, as they are
878
00:31:31,498 --> 00:31:33,369
called, are some of the most
879
00:31:33,369 --> 00:31:35,328
precise stone carvings in the
880
00:31:35,328 --> 00:31:36,764
ancient world.
881
00:31:36,764 --> 00:31:38,505
Some experts believe these
882
00:31:38,505 --> 00:31:41,508
mysterious stone balls could be
883
00:31:41,508 --> 00:31:44,728
96% completely spherical.
884
00:31:44,728 --> 00:31:46,469
A perfectly
885
00:31:46,469 --> 00:31:49,777
spherical round ball is hard to
886
00:31:49,777 --> 00:31:51,910
make, and, in fact, where
887
00:31:51,910 --> 00:31:53,912
they're found is a primitive
888
00:31:53,912 --> 00:31:56,653
area, so the stone balls that we
889
00:31:56,653 --> 00:31:59,004
see at Costa Rica would've been
890
00:31:59,004 --> 00:32:01,615
very, very hard to make by just
891
00:32:01,615 --> 00:32:04,879
very, very hard to make by just
bashing them out with a rock.
892
00:32:04,879 --> 00:32:06,925
Bashing them out with a rock.
893
00:32:06,925 --> 00:32:08,274
We can only imagine
894
00:32:08,274 --> 00:32:09,928
how they may have been able to
895
00:32:09,928 --> 00:32:11,755
make such perfect spheres.
896
00:32:11,755 --> 00:32:13,540
These spheres are carved out of
897
00:32:13,540 --> 00:32:15,020
granites and granodiorites.
898
00:32:15,020 --> 00:32:17,457
These are very hard igneous.
899
00:32:17,457 --> 00:32:19,415
These are very hard igneous
rocks, difficult to work.
900
00:32:19,415 --> 00:32:20,939
Rocks, difficult to work.
901
00:32:20,939 --> 00:32:22,941
Granodiorite is
902
00:32:22,941 --> 00:32:25,073
one of the hardest natural
903
00:32:25,073 --> 00:32:26,335
materials.
904
00:32:26,335 --> 00:32:30,339
It never comes free in nature in
905
00:32:30,339 --> 00:32:31,732
the shape of the sphere.
906
00:32:31,732 --> 00:32:32,776
So obviously somebody shaped
907
00:32:32,776 --> 00:32:36,955
them.
908
00:32:36,955 --> 00:32:38,957
Today we would need to use
909
00:32:38,957 --> 00:32:42,873
diamond tools and laser to shape
910
00:32:42,873 --> 00:32:44,745
diamond tools and laser to shape
the spheres.
911
00:32:44,745 --> 00:32:46,834
The spheres.
912
00:32:46,834 --> 00:32:47,966
It almost seems like
913
00:32:47,966 --> 00:32:49,402
there was some kind of
914
00:32:49,402 --> 00:32:51,186
megalithic carving school.
915
00:32:51,186 --> 00:32:52,187
Who could create the most
916
00:32:52,187 --> 00:32:53,797
perfect sphere?
917
00:32:53,797 --> 00:32:54,798
Some of them are still hidden
918
00:32:54,798 --> 00:32:55,799
within the jungles.
919
00:32:55,799 --> 00:32:56,800
So what were they doing there?
920
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:57,801
I mean, why were they
921
00:32:57,801 --> 00:32:59,716
I mean, why were they constructed?
922
00:32:59,716 --> 00:33:01,805
Constructed?
923
00:33:01,805 --> 00:33:02,806
Jungle-dwelling
924
00:33:02,806 --> 00:33:06,549
local chiefs were sometimes
925
00:33:06,549 --> 00:33:08,464
buried with some of the smaller
926
00:33:08,464 --> 00:33:11,641
balls, but some of the balls
927
00:33:11,641 --> 00:33:13,513
are gigantically huge and in
928
00:33:13,513 --> 00:33:14,775
fact they're so large, they
929
00:33:14,775 --> 00:33:18,300
couldn't fit in any grave.
930
00:33:18,300 --> 00:33:19,736
So the great mystery with the
931
00:33:19,736 --> 00:33:21,912
stone balls really is what their
932
00:33:21,912 --> 00:33:24,393
purpose was.
933
00:33:24,393 --> 00:33:25,394
According to the
934
00:33:25,394 --> 00:33:28,615
legends of Costa Rica, those
935
00:33:28,615 --> 00:33:30,356
stone spheres were used as
936
00:33:30,356 --> 00:33:32,271
cannonballs by the god of
937
00:33:32,271 --> 00:33:33,620
thunder to drive away the god of
938
00:33:33,620 --> 00:33:35,535
thunder to drive away the god of
wind and hurricanes.
939
00:33:35,535 --> 00:33:37,624
Wind and hurricanes.
940
00:33:37,624 --> 00:33:38,929
Now, these are all wonderful
941
00:33:38,929 --> 00:33:40,018
ideas of a story.
942
00:33:40,018 --> 00:33:41,541
But as we all know, every
943
00:33:41,541 --> 00:33:44,805
story has a core of truth, and.
944
00:33:44,805 --> 00:33:46,372
What is that.
945
00:33:46,372 --> 00:33:48,287
What is that core?
946
00:33:48,287 --> 00:33:50,463
Core?
947
00:33:50,463 --> 00:33:51,464
Are the legends of
948
00:33:51,464 --> 00:33:54,467
gods battling storms really a
949
00:33:54,467 --> 00:33:56,556
description of ancient astronaut
950
00:33:56,556 --> 00:33:58,340
machinery at work, as some
951
00:33:58,340 --> 00:34:00,212
researchers suggest?
952
00:34:00,212 --> 00:34:03,737
And if so, might the discovery
953
00:34:03,737 --> 00:34:05,956
of stone spheres reveal the
954
00:34:05,956 --> 00:34:09,351
of stone spheres reveal the
ultimate purpose for monoliths?
955
00:34:09,351 --> 00:34:12,050
Ultimate purpose for monoliths?
956
00:34:12,050 --> 00:34:13,834
Bosnia-Herzegovina.
957
00:34:13,834 --> 00:34:17,055
2004.
958
00:34:17,055 --> 00:34:19,709
A team of archaeologists
959
00:34:19,709 --> 00:34:22,321
discovers stone spheres in
960
00:34:22,321 --> 00:34:23,931
forests and creek beds near the
961
00:34:23,931 --> 00:34:27,369
town of Banja Luka.
962
00:34:27,369 --> 00:34:28,501
If you go into
963
00:34:28,501 --> 00:34:29,937
that area, it's a ravine in a
964
00:34:29,937 --> 00:34:32,244
mountainside that's been cut by
965
00:34:32,244 --> 00:34:34,550
a stream, and in it are all of
966
00:34:34,550 --> 00:34:36,465
a stream, and in it are all of
these stone balls.
967
00:34:36,465 --> 00:34:39,251
These stone balls.
968
00:34:39,251 --> 00:34:40,469
Very similar to the ones
969
00:34:40,469 --> 00:34:42,123
in Costa Rica.
970
00:34:42,123 --> 00:34:45,474
They're half buried in this
971
00:34:45,474 --> 00:34:48,564
mountainside, and some are
972
00:34:48,564 --> 00:34:50,436
exposed.
973
00:34:50,436 --> 00:34:53,178
It is a tourist area.
974
00:34:53,178 --> 00:34:54,396
And in fact Bosnia has
975
00:34:54,396 --> 00:34:56,485
four or five areas where these
976
00:34:56,485 --> 00:34:59,227
stone balls can be seen.
977
00:34:59,227 --> 00:35:00,315
The tree, the
978
00:35:00,315 --> 00:35:02,317
tree was standing there, but in
979
00:35:02,317 --> 00:35:04,754
the last storm the tree fell
980
00:35:04,754 --> 00:35:06,365
and, you know, all this, you
981
00:35:06,365 --> 00:35:08,106
know, dirt, all this material
982
00:35:08,106 --> 00:35:09,542
covered the stone sphere which
983
00:35:09,542 --> 00:35:10,760
is here.
984
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,022
Right here.
985
00:35:12,022 --> 00:35:13,372
The biggest source of Bosnian
986
00:35:13,372 --> 00:35:15,287
stone spheres is the central
987
00:35:15,287 --> 00:35:18,420
Bosnian town of Zavidovici.
988
00:35:18,420 --> 00:35:20,770
We took samples from four
989
00:35:20,770 --> 00:35:22,946
different stone spheres and
990
00:35:22,946 --> 00:35:25,297
samples of natural stone that we
991
00:35:25,297 --> 00:35:28,387
found nearby, and then we did
992
00:35:28,387 --> 00:35:30,040
chemical analysis,
993
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,478
Those
994
00:35:32,478 --> 00:35:34,610
stone spheres were made.
995
00:35:34,610 --> 00:35:37,613
From the liquid state,
996
00:35:37,613 --> 00:35:39,224
they would melt them.
997
00:35:39,224 --> 00:35:40,312
They were adding certain
998
00:35:40,312 --> 00:35:42,183
additives to get the better
999
00:35:42,183 --> 00:35:43,793
properties of material, and then
1000
00:35:43,793 --> 00:35:45,926
when they got dry in certain
1001
00:35:45,926 --> 00:35:48,885
molds,
1002
00:35:48,885 --> 00:35:50,583
they were getting a perfect
1003
00:35:50,583 --> 00:35:53,542
shape of the sphere.
1004
00:35:53,542 --> 00:35:56,154
Like most other
1005
00:35:56,154 --> 00:35:58,460
monoliths, researchers believe
1006
00:35:58,460 --> 00:36:00,375
the spheres were likely used for
1007
00:36:00,375 --> 00:36:02,508
ceremonial rituals,
1008
00:36:02,508 --> 00:36:05,337
but is it possible that these
1009
00:36:05,337 --> 00:36:07,077
monoliths, like the stone
1010
00:36:07,077 --> 00:36:09,210
spheres in Costa Rica, helped
1011
00:36:09,210 --> 00:36:11,299
create a connection to celestial
1012
00:36:11,299 --> 00:36:13,562
beings, as ancient astronaut
1013
00:36:13,562 --> 00:36:16,174
theorists contend?
1014
00:36:16,174 --> 00:36:17,566
Another theory
1015
00:36:17,566 --> 00:36:19,351
of the stone balls is that they
1016
00:36:19,351 --> 00:36:20,526
were somehow used as star maps,
1017
00:36:20,526 --> 00:36:23,398
and that they were
1018
00:36:23,398 --> 00:36:25,357
rolled around,
1019
00:36:25,357 --> 00:36:27,228
and they would show where stars
1020
00:36:27,228 --> 00:36:30,100
were and their relationship to
1021
00:36:30,100 --> 00:36:33,887
other areas, very much like some
1022
00:36:33,887 --> 00:36:36,890
extraterrestrial map.
1023
00:36:36,890 --> 00:36:39,675
It's also said that
1024
00:36:39,675 --> 00:36:41,721
these stone balls were there to
1025
00:36:41,721 --> 00:36:44,376
concentrate thought, that they
1026
00:36:44,376 --> 00:36:46,508
were somehow physical devices,
1027
00:36:46,508 --> 00:36:48,684
that somehow by touching or
1028
00:36:48,684 --> 00:36:50,425
working with these stones, we
1029
00:36:50,425 --> 00:36:52,253
were able to establish a bridge
1030
00:36:52,253 --> 00:36:54,299
to another dimension.
1031
00:36:54,299 --> 00:36:57,563
And so we might actually be
1032
00:36:57,563 --> 00:36:58,868
looking at a civilization who
1033
00:36:58,868 --> 00:37:00,566
realized that the places where
1034
00:37:00,566 --> 00:37:02,394
these stone spheres were
1035
00:37:02,394 --> 00:37:04,526
located, were somehow power
1036
00:37:04,526 --> 00:37:06,746
spots, that somehow there was
1037
00:37:06,746 --> 00:37:08,748
some form of energy, whereby if
1038
00:37:08,748 --> 00:37:10,358
we were able to concentrate, we
1039
00:37:10,358 --> 00:37:12,752
would indeed be transported to a
1040
00:37:12,752 --> 00:37:15,102
world where we could communicate
1041
00:37:15,102 --> 00:37:16,538
with the gods.
1042
00:37:16,538 --> 00:37:18,497
And that might be why these
1043
00:37:18,497 --> 00:37:20,934
stone spheres are located in the
1044
00:37:20,934 --> 00:37:22,544
places they are.
1045
00:37:22,544 --> 00:37:24,764
Could it really be
1046
00:37:24,764 --> 00:37:26,461
that these round monoliths were
1047
00:37:26,461 --> 00:37:28,550
placed throughout the world to
1048
00:37:28,550 --> 00:37:30,726
create a greater cosmic energy
1049
00:37:30,726 --> 00:37:32,511
grid, as some researchers
1050
00:37:32,511 --> 00:37:34,295
believe?
1051
00:37:34,295 --> 00:37:36,950
If so, might stone spheres and
1052
00:37:36,950 --> 00:37:39,431
other monoliths be celestial
1053
00:37:39,431 --> 00:37:41,041
travel tools placed
1054
00:37:41,041 --> 00:37:42,390
in power spots,
1055
00:37:42,390 --> 00:37:45,785
portals for celestial travelers
1056
00:37:45,785 --> 00:37:48,353
visiting Earth,
1057
00:37:48,353 --> 00:37:50,485
and is it possible these
1058
00:37:50,485 --> 00:37:52,574
advanced beings have left behind
1059
00:37:52,574 --> 00:37:54,446
more evidence,
1060
00:37:54,446 --> 00:37:56,274
perhaps not on Earth
1061
00:37:56,274 --> 00:37:58,363
but approximately 140
1062
00:37:58,363 --> 00:38:02,410
but approximately 140 million miles away?
1063
00:38:02,410 --> 00:38:07,328
Million miles away?
1064
00:38:07,328 --> 00:38:09,461
1998.
1065
00:38:09,461 --> 00:38:12,681
The Mars Global Surveyor snaps
1066
00:38:12,681 --> 00:38:16,381
photos of what appears to be a
1067
00:38:16,381 --> 00:38:19,471
monolith on Phobos, one of the
1068
00:38:19,471 --> 00:38:20,994
two moons that orbit the planet
1069
00:38:20,994 --> 00:38:22,300
Mars.
1070
00:38:22,300 --> 00:38:24,258
On the moon of Mars,
1071
00:38:24,258 --> 00:38:25,825
Phobos, there's a very, very
1072
00:38:25,825 --> 00:38:27,000
interesting obelisk
1073
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:28,349
or monolith there.
1074
00:38:28,349 --> 00:38:29,350
They call it the.
1075
00:38:29,350 --> 00:38:30,482
Phobos Monolith.
1076
00:38:30,482 --> 00:38:32,222
Buzz Aldrin, the second man to
1077
00:38:32,222 --> 00:38:33,702
walk on the moon, made a really
1078
00:38:33,702 --> 00:38:35,313
big deal out of this and
1079
00:38:35,313 --> 00:38:36,792
basically claimed that it was
1080
00:38:36,792 --> 00:38:38,533
artificial and when we got there
1081
00:38:38,533 --> 00:38:40,187
and studied it, it would change
1082
00:38:40,187 --> 00:38:41,667
everything in terms of how we
1083
00:38:41,667 --> 00:38:43,103
looked at our history.
1084
00:38:43,103 --> 00:38:45,323
Is it really
1085
00:38:45,323 --> 00:38:47,281
possible there is an obelisk on
1086
00:38:47,281 --> 00:38:48,456
a moon of Mars?
1087
00:38:48,456 --> 00:38:50,806
One that is not a natural
1088
00:38:50,806 --> 00:38:52,068
occurrence, but was,
1089
00:38:52,068 --> 00:38:53,809
in fact, put there by
1090
00:38:53,809 --> 00:38:56,246
otherworldly beings?
1091
00:38:56,246 --> 00:38:58,336
If so, might they have created
1092
00:38:58,336 --> 00:38:59,859
similar structures on other
1093
00:38:59,859 --> 00:39:02,296
planets and celestial bodies,
1094
00:39:02,296 --> 00:39:04,429
perhaps even Earth, as some
1095
00:39:04,429 --> 00:39:06,169
researchers suggest?
1096
00:39:06,169 --> 00:39:08,346
Egypt has a
1097
00:39:08,346 --> 00:39:11,349
number of obelisks in it, and
1098
00:39:11,349 --> 00:39:13,351
those obelisks are 4,000 or
1099
00:39:13,351 --> 00:39:18,356
5,000 years old.
1100
00:39:18,356 --> 00:39:21,184
And the obelisks in Ethiopia may
1101
00:39:21,184 --> 00:39:24,840
be that old, too.
1102
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,102
Obelisks, they're a piece of
1103
00:39:26,102 --> 00:39:27,713
crystalline granite, and within
1104
00:39:27,713 --> 00:39:30,411
the granite is quartz crystal.
1105
00:39:30,411 --> 00:39:34,372
So obelisks themselves are, in a
1106
00:39:34,372 --> 00:39:37,375
sense, a crystal tower with all
1107
00:39:37,375 --> 00:39:40,378
of the properties that quartz
1108
00:39:40,378 --> 00:39:43,729
crystal brings to technology.
1109
00:39:43,729 --> 00:39:46,079
It's an antenna,
1110
00:39:46,079 --> 00:39:48,386
and any antenna can receive a
1111
00:39:48,386 --> 00:39:50,692
broadcast and it can give a
1112
00:39:50,692 --> 00:39:53,260
broadcast.
1113
00:39:53,260 --> 00:39:55,784
And then we have these ancient
1114
00:39:55,784 --> 00:39:58,483
obelisks that were at one point,
1115
00:39:58,483 --> 00:39:59,919
apparently, all around the
1116
00:39:59,919 --> 00:40:01,660
world.
1117
00:40:01,660 --> 00:40:03,401
It would seem that there was a
1118
00:40:03,401 --> 00:40:05,925
worldwide system, similar to a
1119
00:40:05,925 --> 00:40:09,276
wireless broadcasting system.
1120
00:40:09,276 --> 00:40:11,452
These obelisks would broadcast
1121
00:40:11,452 --> 00:40:14,412
power into the atmosphere, and
1122
00:40:14,412 --> 00:40:17,850
remote locations around the
1123
00:40:17,850 --> 00:40:19,417
world could pick up that power,
1124
00:40:19,417 --> 00:40:21,680
much like a radio today, or a
1125
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,246
television set, a satellite
1126
00:40:23,246 --> 00:40:25,466
phone, or a computer.
1127
00:40:25,466 --> 00:40:27,773
This seems to be the system that
1128
00:40:27,773 --> 00:40:29,949
was set up by extraterrestrials
1129
00:40:29,949 --> 00:40:31,907
thousands of years ago on this
1130
00:40:31,907 --> 00:40:33,518
planet, and incredibly, they
1131
00:40:33,518 --> 00:40:35,171
didn't just do it on Planet.
1132
00:40:35,171 --> 00:40:36,477
Earth.
1133
00:40:36,477 --> 00:40:38,740
So we may well find that when
1134
00:40:38,740 --> 00:40:40,307
we go to Mars, we'll find
1135
00:40:40,307 --> 00:40:42,178
obelisks there.
1136
00:40:42,178 --> 00:40:43,745
Is it really
1137
00:40:43,745 --> 00:40:45,181
possible, as some researchers
1138
00:40:45,181 --> 00:40:47,183
believe, that monoliths on Earth
1139
00:40:47,183 --> 00:40:49,447
have a cosmic connection to the
1140
00:40:49,447 --> 00:40:51,492
obelisk on Phobos,
1141
00:40:51,492 --> 00:40:54,582
and that, at one time, many of
1142
00:40:54,582 --> 00:40:56,279
the monolithic sites seen around
1143
00:40:56,279 --> 00:40:57,455
the world were part of an
1144
00:40:57,455 --> 00:40:59,935
advanced system that would help
1145
00:40:59,935 --> 00:41:01,459
to receive and distribute
1146
00:41:01,459 --> 00:41:03,243
energy?
1147
00:41:03,243 --> 00:41:04,287
You have to realize
1148
00:41:04,287 --> 00:41:05,854
that there is more than just
1149
00:41:05,854 --> 00:41:08,204
the stones involved.
1150
00:41:08,204 --> 00:41:09,379
There's a kind of energy field
1151
00:41:09,379 --> 00:41:11,425
around them, and it works
1152
00:41:11,425 --> 00:41:12,470
through the stones by way
1153
00:41:12,470 --> 00:41:13,949
of their placement.
1154
00:41:13,949 --> 00:41:15,603
When put in a circle, or in
1155
00:41:15,603 --> 00:41:18,954
rows, or standing singly, they
1156
00:41:18,954 --> 00:41:21,479
would ground celestial energy,
1157
00:41:21,479 --> 00:41:23,916
transmit it and download it into
1158
00:41:23,916 --> 00:41:25,526
the local landscape.
1159
00:41:25,526 --> 00:41:27,354
It was meant to be a kind of
1160
00:41:27,354 --> 00:41:30,488
passive, continuous input to the
1161
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:32,272
earth from the celestial and
1162
00:41:32,272 --> 00:41:33,969
galactic realms.
1163
00:41:33,969 --> 00:41:36,276
Places like.
1164
00:41:36,276 --> 00:41:39,322
Easter Island, or remote
1165
00:41:39,322 --> 00:41:41,107
jungles, or a remote
1166
00:41:41,107 --> 00:41:42,587
mountain area, as long as you
1167
00:41:42,587 --> 00:41:44,589
were able to dial in to that
1168
00:41:44,589 --> 00:41:46,242
energy pattern and to the
1169
00:41:46,242 --> 00:41:49,289
energy being put out, you would
1170
00:41:49,289 --> 00:41:52,292
have power.
1171
00:41:52,292 --> 00:41:53,380
These tall standing
1172
00:41:53,380 --> 00:41:55,034
stones all around the world
1173
00:41:55,034 --> 00:41:56,426
could easily have part
1174
00:41:56,426 --> 00:41:57,950
of some kind of energy grid
1175
00:41:57,950 --> 00:41:59,038
around the planet, connecting
1176
00:41:59,038 --> 00:42:01,040
up all these ancient cultures.
1177
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,695
Connecting up the energies of
1178
00:42:03,695 --> 00:42:05,348
the earth all in different parts
1179
00:42:05,348 --> 00:42:06,698
of the world,
1180
00:42:06,698 --> 00:42:08,090
somehow harnessing cosmic
1181
00:42:08,090 --> 00:42:09,352
energy with Earth energy, and
1182
00:42:09,352 --> 00:42:11,485
used for various different
1183
00:42:11,485 --> 00:42:12,834
purposes we're only just
1184
00:42:12,834 --> 00:42:14,967
starting to understand today.
1185
00:42:14,967 --> 00:42:16,969
This sort of
1186
00:42:16,969 --> 00:42:18,318
megalithic landscape was
1187
00:42:18,318 --> 00:42:20,320
designed to create higher nodes
1188
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:24,454
of awareness in multiple places.
1189
00:42:24,454 --> 00:42:26,544
Their placement was specific to
1190
00:42:26,544 --> 00:42:27,980
take advantage of implicit
1191
00:42:27,980 --> 00:42:30,504
energy aspects and gradients in
1192
00:42:30,504 --> 00:42:32,985
the landscape.
1193
00:42:32,985 --> 00:42:34,160
The location of
1194
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,555
the stones is very important.
1195
00:42:37,555 --> 00:42:39,513
For example, Stonehenge, we now
1196
00:42:39,513 --> 00:42:41,820
know that those stones were
1197
00:42:41,820 --> 00:42:43,691
positioned above the underground
1198
00:42:43,691 --> 00:42:46,346
water flows.
1199
00:42:46,346 --> 00:42:47,652
The water moves, generates
1200
00:42:47,652 --> 00:42:50,089
energy, the stones receive the
1201
00:42:50,089 --> 00:42:51,917
energy, and slowly release it.
1202
00:42:51,917 --> 00:42:54,180
The ancient people, they would
1203
00:42:54,180 --> 00:42:55,877
be around those monoliths,
1204
00:42:55,877 --> 00:42:58,576
keeping their hands on the
1205
00:42:58,576 --> 00:43:01,361
stones, receiving the energy.
1206
00:43:01,361 --> 00:43:02,841
And if the stones
1207
00:43:02,841 --> 00:43:04,364
were arranged in a pattern, it
1208
00:43:04,364 --> 00:43:05,800
would create a kind of geometry
1209
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:07,497
of consciousness that would have
1210
00:43:07,497 --> 00:43:09,195
uplifting effects on people who
1211
00:43:09,195 --> 00:43:12,415
were in proximity to them.
1212
00:43:12,415 --> 00:43:13,852
Throughout the
1213
00:43:13,852 --> 00:43:15,331
world, whether they are stone
1214
00:43:15,331 --> 00:43:16,594
spheres in Bosnia or
1215
00:43:16,594 --> 00:43:17,986
megalithic monuments in Avebury,
1216
00:43:17,986 --> 00:43:20,902
what we're seeing is that our
1217
00:43:20,902 --> 00:43:22,208
ancestors are saying that these
1218
00:43:22,208 --> 00:43:24,210
stones are able to hold energy,
1219
00:43:24,210 --> 00:43:27,213
a soul, a spirit, of our
1220
00:43:27,213 --> 00:43:29,694
ancestors, of the gods.
1221
00:43:29,694 --> 00:43:31,652
And so what we see throughout
1222
00:43:31,652 --> 00:43:33,523
the world is these monoliths,
1223
00:43:33,523 --> 00:43:34,481
because throughout the world we
1224
00:43:34,481 --> 00:43:36,396
are trying to establish this
1225
00:43:36,396 --> 00:43:38,398
link between us, mankind, and
1226
00:43:38,398 --> 00:43:39,617
the world of the gods.
1227
00:43:39,617 --> 00:43:41,706
Monoliths
1228
00:43:41,706 --> 00:43:44,491
interconnected by design,
1229
00:43:44,491 --> 00:43:46,580
tapping into the energy
1230
00:43:46,580 --> 00:43:48,016
of the earth,
1231
00:43:48,016 --> 00:43:50,453
and serving as a beacon to link
1232
00:43:50,453 --> 00:43:52,717
with celestial beings.
1233
00:43:52,717 --> 00:43:54,980
Is it really possible that
1234
00:43:54,980 --> 00:43:56,459
ancient monoliths hon
1235
00:43:56,459 --> 00:43:58,636
advanced, perhaps
1236
00:43:58,636 --> 00:44:00,550
extraterrestrial power we have
1237
00:44:00,550 --> 00:44:04,511
yet to realize, and if so, just
1238
00:44:04,511 --> 00:44:06,034
what will happen when we unlock
1239
00:44:06,034 --> 00:44:08,080
the mystery of the monoliths?
