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

00:31:25,971 --> 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

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? 1240 00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:09,081 Captioning sponsored by. 1241 00:44:09,081 -->
