00:00:53,020 --> 00:00:54,020
ancient aliens is an American television
4
00:00:55,460 --> 00:00:56,460
series which premiered on April 20th
5
00:00:58,270 --> 00:00:59,270
2010 on the History Channel
6
00:01:00,740 --> 00:01:01,740
the program presents the so called
7
00:01:02,750 --> 00:01:03,750
ancient astronaut theory which is the
8
00:01:04,730 --> 00:01:05,730
idea that extraterrestrials visited the
9
00:01:07,220 --> 00:01:08,220
earth in the ancient past and the
10
00:01:09,140 --> 00:01:10,140
historical text archeological records
11
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:12,720
and various legends contain evidence of
12
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:15,240
this contact I used to believe that the
13
00:01:16,550 --> 00:01:17,550
ancient astronaut theory was true I
14
00:01:18,650 --> 00:01:19,650
spent years learning about it from the
15
00:01:20,870 --> 00:01:21,870
popular authors from video presentations
16
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:24,360
and radio shows I was an enthusiastic
17
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:26,880
promoter of this idea to my friends and
18
00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:29,100
family although I no longer feel that
19
00:01:30,619 --> 00:01:31,619
way I want you to know that I have no
20
00:01:32,900 --> 00:01:33,900
personal reasons to reject this theory
21
00:01:34,970 --> 00:01:35,970
my current worldview could easily
22
00:01:37,550 --> 00:01:38,550
accommodate the existence of
23
00:01:39,290 --> 00:01:40,290
extraterrestrials I hope you will come
24
00:01:41,420 --> 00:01:42,420
away from this film even if you disagree
25
00:01:43,700 --> 00:01:44,700
with it saying that i fairly reviewed
26
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:46,800
the claims of ancient aliens without
27
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:48,360
bias and with respect i hope to show you
28
00:01:50,450 --> 00:01:51,450
that this is not a matter of ancient
29
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:52,920
aliens giving a few details wrong here
30
00:01:54,229 --> 00:01:55,229
and there and their main premise
31
00:01:55,940 --> 00:01:56,940
remaining true that is not an option in
32
00:01:58,460 --> 00:01:59,460
my opinion I hope to demonstrate to you
33
00:02:01,250 --> 00:02:02,250
that they are wrong not on some but on
34
00:02:03,890 --> 00:02:04,890
every single point where they assert in
35
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:07,200
ancient astronaut theory to explain
36
00:02:08,090 --> 00:02:09,090
evidence and that often they are using
37
00:02:10,850 --> 00:02:11,850
deceptive means to do this and sometimes
38
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:14,520
even fabricating evidence to make their
39
00:02:15,740 --> 00:02:16,740
points as we will see I would also like
40
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,080
the viewer to know that unlike many
41
00:02:20,060 --> 00:02:21,060
skeptics of the ancient astronaut theory
42
00:02:22,340 --> 00:02:23,340
I actually can see that something out of
43
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:25,800
the ordinary could have occurred in the
44
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:27,600
ancient past and that there are certain
45
00:02:28,700 --> 00:02:29,700
consistent themes in ancient mythologies
46
00:02:30,650 --> 00:02:31,650
and the like that required good
47
00:02:32,780 --> 00:02:33,780
explanations but I think you will
48
00:02:34,700 --> 00:02:35,700
quickly see that the ancient astronaut
49
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:37,560
theory do not explain this evidence you
50
00:02:38,630 --> 00:02:39,630
will notice a number that appears
51
00:02:40,430 --> 00:02:41,430
periodically on the bottom right hand
52
00:02:42,140 --> 00:02:43,140
corner of the screen throughout this
53
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:44,520
film this number will appear when I am
54
00:02:45,950 --> 00:02:46,950
making a claim that requires a reference
55
00:02:48,110 --> 00:02:49,110
in order to back it up and it will
56
00:02:50,090 --> 00:02:51,090
correspond to a number on the companion
57
00:02:51,980 --> 00:02:52,980
website ancient aliens debunked calm
58
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:55,800
this film is divided into three main
59
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:58,200
sections and each topic can be viewed
60
00:02:59,570 --> 00:03:00,570
independently at the website if you
61
00:03:01,430 --> 00:03:02,430
choose
62
00:03:02,250 --> 00:03:03,250
I will occasionally be joined by
63
00:03:03,780 --> 00:03:04,780
commentary from dr. Michael Heizer one
64
00:03:06,390 --> 00:03:07,390
of the few actual scholars who has been
65
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:09,640
willing to interact with the ancient
66
00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:11,500
astronaut theory
67
00:03:11,490 --> 00:03:12,490
dr. Heiser has been one of the most
68
00:03:13,380 --> 00:03:14,380
articulate proponents of the skeptical
69
00:03:15,990 --> 00:03:16,990
viewpoint of this theory and has written
70
00:03:18,270 --> 00:03:19,270
papers and books as well as almost a
71
00:03:20,730 --> 00:03:21,730
dozen websites on the issues we will be
72
00:03:22,890 --> 00:03:23,890
covering in this film we are happy to
73
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:26,080
have him as a part of this film and
74
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:27,400
we're happy to have you the viewer here
75
00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:29,500
as well I encourage you to have an open
76
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:31,720
mind and enjoy the film Pumapunku is so
77
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,200
unique in the way that it was
78
00:03:44,850 --> 00:03:45,850
constructed and shaped and positioned
79
00:03:47,209 --> 00:03:48,209
that it is the most intriguing ancient
80
00:03:50,310 --> 00:03:51,310
site on the planet while the Pyramids at
81
00:03:54,239 --> 00:03:55,239
Giza are incredible feat of achievement
82
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,400
compared to puma punku the pyramids are
83
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:02,920
child play in my opinion the most
84
00:04:05,459 --> 00:04:06,459
significant piece of evidence that we
85
00:04:07,890 --> 00:04:08,890
have in this entire ancient astronaut
86
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,040
puzzle is puma punku in the highland of
87
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,120
bolivia
88
00:04:15,989 --> 00:04:16,989
well if puma punku is considered such
89
00:04:18,390 --> 00:04:19,390
good evidence for the ancient astronaut
90
00:04:20,430 --> 00:04:21,430
theory we should probably start off by
91
00:04:22,650 --> 00:04:23,650
looking at it after all it's the one
92
00:04:24,930 --> 00:04:25,930
that they say was built directly by
93
00:04:26,550 --> 00:04:27,550
extraterrestrials is the only site on
94
00:04:31,710 --> 00:04:32,710
planet earth that in my opinion
95
00:04:35,390 --> 00:04:36,390
was built directly by extraterrestrials
96
00:04:39,460 --> 00:04:40,460
ancient alien starts off with a false
97
00:04:42,500 --> 00:04:43,500
dilemma by making people think that it
98
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:45,960
was absolutely impossible for ancient
99
00:04:47,330 --> 00:04:48,330
people to construct puma punku even to
100
00:04:50,210 --> 00:04:51,210
the point of making outright false
101
00:04:52,310 --> 00:04:53,310
claims one of the most intriguing things
102
00:04:54,890 --> 00:04:55,890
there is that the stones that were used
103
00:04:56,690 --> 00:04:57,690
there are in sandstone their granite and
104
00:05:00,260 --> 00:05:01,260
diorite the only stone that's harder
105
00:05:07,010 --> 00:05:08,010
than diorite is diamond so the only way
106
00:05:10,730 --> 00:05:11,730
that this could have been achieved is if
107
00:05:12,740 --> 00:05:13,740
the tools were tipped with diamonds this
108
00:05:16,460 --> 00:05:17,460
is funny because it's totally wrong the
109
00:05:19,340 --> 00:05:20,340
stones are not granite or diorite at
110
00:05:22,220 --> 00:05:23,220
puma punku they are red sandstone and
111
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,240
Endocyte but this is also funny because
112
00:05:27,980 --> 00:05:28,980
of the way that he says it the stones
113
00:05:29,900 --> 00:05:30,900
that were used their orange sandstone
114
00:05:32,180 --> 00:05:33,180
their granite and diorite well yeah
115
00:05:35,990 --> 00:05:36,990
actually it is sandstone you can't blame
116
00:05:38,990 --> 00:05:39,990
him though it becomes obvious that
117
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:41,520
throughout the series he often just
118
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:43,440
repeats things he's heard in Erich von
119
00:05:44,090 --> 00:05:45,090
Daniken's books
120
00:05:45,110 --> 00:05:46,110
von daniken's books are what the ancient
121
00:05:47,540 --> 00:05:48,540
alien series is based on later we see
122
00:05:50,510 --> 00:05:51,510
erich von Daniken himself make the exact
123
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,000
same totally wrong claim of course made
124
00:05:56,180 --> 00:05:57,180
out of stones found on earth because you
125
00:05:58,370 --> 00:05:59,370
don't transport van Daniken continues
126
00:06:03,830 --> 00:06:04,830
building up this false dilemma one of
127
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:06,960
these platforms is 800 tons this is very
128
00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:09,840
incorrect the heaviest block at puma
129
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:12,360
punku is 130 tons and most of the stones
130
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,080
are much smaller than that so he's off
131
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:18,840
by a whopping 670 tons
132
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:22,520
unfortunately we will come to expect
133
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:24,720
this kind of thing from von Daniken as
134
00:06:25,580 --> 00:06:26,580
we progress ancient alien spends quite a
135
00:06:28,430 --> 00:06:29,430
lot of time pointing out the various
136
00:06:30,290 --> 00:06:31,290
features in the stone masonry at puma
137
00:06:32,270 --> 00:06:33,270
punku and then declaring it impossible
138
00:06:34,910 --> 00:06:35,910
to do without power tools each of these
139
00:06:37,220 --> 00:06:38,220
small drill holes are basically
140
00:06:40,630 --> 00:06:41,630
evenly spaced along this routered groove
141
00:06:45,750 --> 00:06:46,750
to me it's clearly power tools have been
142
00:06:49,330 --> 00:06:50,330
used on this unusual block of stone here
143
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,000
well exactly this surface is as smooth
144
00:06:54,490 --> 00:06:55,490
as the table top like in your kitchen
145
00:06:56,140 --> 00:06:57,140
there's no wave to it or anything this
146
00:06:59,350 --> 00:07:00,350
was machined the sandstone and andesite
147
00:07:01,930 --> 00:07:02,930
stones at puma punku would have been
148
00:07:04,030 --> 00:07:05,030
easily worked with the most basic stone
149
00:07:06,310 --> 00:07:07,310
working tools the idea that diamond
150
00:07:08,830 --> 00:07:09,830
tipped power saws were needed is
151
00:07:10,420 --> 00:07:11,420
ridiculous the red sandstone was
152
00:07:12,730 --> 00:07:13,730
relatively soft and easy to work with
153
00:07:14,650 --> 00:07:15,650
and even though andesite is pretty hard
154
00:07:17,050 --> 00:07:18,050
because of the way it cooled it could
155
00:07:19,570 --> 00:07:20,570
easily be flaked off using stones as
156
00:07:21,850 --> 00:07:22,850
soft is 5.5 on the Mohs scale such
157
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:25,760
pounding stones were found all over the
158
00:07:26,770 --> 00:07:27,770
andesite quarries in the area contrary
159
00:07:29,830 --> 00:07:30,830
to ancient aliens claims that
160
00:07:31,510 --> 00:07:32,510
archaeologists are baffled by puma punku
161
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:35,320
archaeologists know the basics about how
162
00:07:36,370 --> 00:07:37,370
puma punku stones were cut and shaped
163
00:07:39,190 --> 00:07:40,190
this is partly because there's evidence
164
00:07:41,260 --> 00:07:42,260
for this all over the site itself they
165
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:44,840
actually used a method that almost all
166
00:07:45,940 --> 00:07:46,940
ancient stone workers used they used
167
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:49,520
hard pounding stones to pound out trough
168
00:07:51,250 --> 00:07:52,250
like depressions later on they used flat
169
00:07:54,070 --> 00:07:55,070
stones and sand to grind the stone to
170
00:07:57,010 --> 00:07:58,010
make a polished surface we will see
171
00:07:59,230 --> 00:08:00,230
later on that this is also how the
172
00:08:00,670 --> 00:08:01,670
Egyptians thousands of years before this
173
00:08:02,770 --> 00:08:03,770
made their flat surface granite
174
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,080
monuments like obelisks sand as we will
175
00:08:08,500 --> 00:08:09,500
see later when we look at Egypt has
176
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:11,480
extremely hard particles in it and if
177
00:08:13,270 --> 00:08:14,270
placed between a flat surface in Iraq
178
00:08:15,370 --> 00:08:16,370
can polish even the hardest stones known
179
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,040
to man in fact the harder the stone is
180
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:21,500
the better it can be polished using sand
181
00:08:23,020 --> 00:08:24,020
we will also see how sand can turn a
182
00:08:25,300 --> 00:08:26,300
piece of copper into a very efficient
183
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:28,640
granite saw or granite drill a method
184
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:31,280
which the Egyptians utilized quite well
185
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:33,200
some stones at puma punku that ancient
186
00:08:35,050 --> 00:08:36,050
aliens would never show the cameras are
187
00:08:36,849 --> 00:08:37,849
the ones that are in the middle of this
188
00:08:38,710 --> 00:08:39,710
process they showed that at the same
189
00:08:40,900 --> 00:08:41,900
time a stone was being pounded by stone
190
00:08:42,969 --> 00:08:43,969
hammers which created these trough like
191
00:08:45,010 --> 00:08:46,010
depressions the grinding and polishing
192
00:08:47,430 --> 00:08:48,430
was taking place on the other end of the
193
00:08:50,230 --> 00:08:51,230
stone unfinished stones like this one
194
00:08:52,810 --> 00:08:53,810
clearly show how they were
195
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:55,520
shaped and it wasn't with lasers there's
196
00:08:57,340 --> 00:08:58,340
also unmistakable evidence of stone
197
00:08:59,410 --> 00:09:00,410
hammers having been used in places that
198
00:09:01,450 --> 00:09:02,450
were never meant to be visible like
199
00:09:03,700 --> 00:09:04,700
where certain stones would be connected
200
00:09:05,290 --> 00:09:06,290
with one another and because of that
201
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:08,240
it's hard for me to believe erich von
202
00:09:08,650 --> 00:09:09,650
daniken in this next clip because it
203
00:09:10,990 --> 00:09:11,990
would mean that the alien toolbox had a
204
00:09:13,090 --> 00:09:14,090
laser gun right next to a stone hammer
205
00:09:16,170 --> 00:09:17,170
extraterrestrials arrived the spaceship
206
00:09:18,730 --> 00:09:19,730
stands in orbit only a smaller space
207
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:22,520
vehicle comes down like a space shuttle
208
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:25,120
so just to protect their instruments
209
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,160
they make overnight with their
210
00:09:30,010 --> 00:09:31,010
technology what we call a base camp of
211
00:09:34,090 --> 00:09:35,090
course made out of stones found on earth
212
00:09:36,820 --> 00:09:37,820
because you don't transport granite or
213
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:40,280
diorite from another solar system and
214
00:09:42,370 --> 00:09:43,370
then they disappear but the wall of
215
00:09:46,090 --> 00:09:47,090
their base camp is still there it is
216
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:50,600
true that stone tools would not be
217
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:52,400
enough to construct puma punku
218
00:09:53,370 --> 00:09:54,370
especially for some of the finer points
219
00:09:55,350 --> 00:09:56,350
for that they would need metal chisels
220
00:09:58,060 --> 00:09:59,060
and the equivalent of a carpenter's
221
00:09:59,950 --> 00:10:00,950
square entire studies have been done
222
00:10:02,310 --> 00:10:03,310
detailing how these cuts were made and
223
00:10:04,660 --> 00:10:05,660
nothing spectacular is required except
224
00:10:07,270 --> 00:10:08,270
some metal tools like chisels the
225
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:10,760
arguments against this are usually
226
00:10:11,410 --> 00:10:12,410
either that a particular culture did not
227
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:14,600
yet know how to cast metals or that
228
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:17,240
copper chisels would have been too weak
229
00:10:18,070 --> 00:10:19,070
on the first point we know that the pre
230
00:10:20,470 --> 00:10:21,470
incan Andean culture was very skilled at
231
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:24,200
fashioning metals and creating metal
232
00:10:25,510 --> 00:10:26,510
alloys in fact the people who built puma
233
00:10:27,940 --> 00:10:28,940
punku were even pouring copper alloys
234
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:31,400
into molds right on site showing that
235
00:10:33,190 --> 00:10:34,190
they had more than enough capability to
236
00:10:35,290 --> 00:10:36,290
form all kinds of metal tools but the
237
00:10:38,020 --> 00:10:39,020
question is what about the tools
238
00:10:39,790 --> 00:10:40,790
strengths well even if they were pouring
239
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,040
pure copper into a mold it would still
240
00:10:44,050 --> 00:10:45,050
work but it would need sharpening often
241
00:10:45,970 --> 00:10:46,970
but because archaeologists actually
242
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:49,160
found a few of these metal cramps used
243
00:10:50,230 --> 00:10:51,230
by them on site we now know that they
244
00:10:52,420 --> 00:10:53,420
were using a very strong copper arsenic
245
00:10:55,180 --> 00:10:56,180
nickel alloy which made a much stronger
246
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:58,760
final product
247
00:10:58,840 --> 00:10:59,840
arsenic acts as the oxidant preventing
248
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:02,600
the metal from becoming too brittle and
249
00:11:03,310 --> 00:11:04,310
nickel was used in copper alloys
250
00:11:05,670 --> 00:11:06,670
specifically to make strong chisels
251
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:09,440
once you understand that they had the
252
00:11:09,820 --> 00:11:10,820
ability to make strong metal tools in a
253
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:13,760
huge variety of shapes there is no part
254
00:11:15,670 --> 00:11:16,670
of puma punku stone work that would have
255
00:11:18,070 --> 00:11:19,070
been too difficult for them well what
256
00:11:20,380 --> 00:11:21,380
about these 90-degree right angles that
257
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:23,480
ancient aliens make so much about one of
258
00:11:25,030 --> 00:11:26,030
the amazing things here at puma punku is
259
00:11:27,370 --> 00:11:28,370
the precision of the blocks you can see
260
00:11:31,690 --> 00:11:32,690
with this block of granite that it's
261
00:11:34,180 --> 00:11:35,180
really been cut at very accurate right
262
00:11:37,560 --> 00:11:38,560
angles to make flat surfaces with right
263
00:11:41,590 --> 00:11:42,590
angles
264
00:11:42,220 --> 00:11:43,220
you don't need alien technology you only
265
00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:45,680
need a square or a simple equivalent
266
00:11:46,660 --> 00:11:47,660
it's important to keep in mind that puma
267
00:11:49,450 --> 00:11:50,450
punku would have been built thousands of
268
00:11:51,190 --> 00:11:52,190
years after the egyptians who had all
269
00:11:53,620 --> 00:11:54,620
kinds of squares and plumb Bob's and
270
00:11:55,690 --> 00:11:56,690
levels and so on it's a pretty basic
271
00:11:57,970 --> 00:11:58,970
stone working tool that being said
272
00:12:00,490 --> 00:12:01,490
despite what ancient alien says puma
273
00:12:03,220 --> 00:12:04,220
punku is not all perfect right angles
274
00:12:05,710 --> 00:12:06,710
you can even see this ironically enough
275
00:12:08,050 --> 00:12:09,050
as the ancient alien screw goes around
276
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:11,840
with carpenter's squares you can see
277
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:13,880
that some of them are simply not square
278
00:12:14,680 --> 00:12:15,680
also they make claims like all the
279
00:12:17,230 --> 00:12:18,230
h-blocks are the same dimensions which
280
00:12:19,750 --> 00:12:20,750
they say suggests that they were made by
281
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:22,760
a big machine but not only would that
282
00:12:24,430 --> 00:12:25,430
not be the only conclusion if it were
283
00:12:26,650 --> 00:12:27,650
true it's not even true the dimensions
284
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:30,440
of the h-blocks are not all the same
285
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:32,120
though they are close it's probably the
286
00:12:33,910 --> 00:12:34,910
case that they were made using the same
287
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:36,320
plans speaking of plans mainstream
288
00:12:38,650 --> 00:12:39,650
archaeologists say that puma punku was
289
00:12:42,190 --> 00:12:43,190
built by the Aymara Indians and we would
290
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:46,880
all have to agree that in order to build
291
00:12:48,490 --> 00:12:49,490
something like puma punku you need
292
00:12:50,830 --> 00:12:51,830
writing you need planning and you need
293
00:12:53,830 --> 00:12:54,830
some sort of a idea where which piece
294
00:12:57,339 --> 00:12:58,339
goes and how it ultimately all fits
295
00:12:59,589 --> 00:13:00,589
together
296
00:13:00,790 --> 00:13:01,790
but there is one thing that all the
297
00:13:03,190 --> 00:13:04,190
mainstream archeologists agree upon that
298
00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:06,560
the Aymara didn't have any writing so
299
00:13:09,430 --> 00:13:10,430
how is it possible that they built all
300
00:13:11,500 --> 00:13:12,500
of this without plans the builders of
301
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:15,920
puma punku may not have had an alphabet
302
00:13:16,930 --> 00:13:17,930
but they did use the common iconography
303
00:13:19,630 --> 00:13:20,630
or artwork of their culture called Yaya
304
00:13:21,730 --> 00:13:22,730
mama all the icons on the site are Yaya
305
00:13:24,940 --> 00:13:25,940
mama not secret alien code and this is
306
00:13:27,940 --> 00:13:28,940
but one of the many indications of the
307
00:13:30,100 --> 00:13:31,100
culture and time that it was built but
308
00:13:32,290 --> 00:13:33,290
my point is that like many cultures they
309
00:13:34,510 --> 00:13:35,510
used pictures instead of an alphabet and
310
00:13:36,430 --> 00:13:37,430
most building plans are done through
311
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:39,800
pictures like blueprints for example so
312
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:42,440
saying that no alphabet means no
313
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:44,480
planning is pretty ridiculous in my
314
00:13:45,430 --> 00:13:46,430
opinion well what about moving the
315
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:48,800
stones and lifting them into place
316
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:50,600
surely that would have required
317
00:13:51,250 --> 00:13:52,250
levitation how these massive blocks of
318
00:13:55,420 --> 00:13:56,420
granite were moved from their quarries
319
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:58,520
and brought here to puma punku would
320
00:14:00,550 --> 00:14:01,550
have required some kind of super
321
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:03,760
technology
322
00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:06,680
levitation and antigravity huge lifting
323
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:11,360
vehicles something that ancient aliens
324
00:14:14,330 --> 00:14:15,330
would have had if they did know how to
325
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:17,640
levitate these stones then they put far
326
00:14:19,010 --> 00:14:20,010
too much effort into creating places in
327
00:14:21,470 --> 00:14:22,470
the stones to attach ropes too many
328
00:14:24,110 --> 00:14:25,110
stones at puma punku have grooves
329
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:26,880
several centimeters in width and depth
330
00:14:27,980 --> 00:14:28,980
on two adjacent faces for holding ropes
331
00:14:30,620 --> 00:14:31,620
they even had special places cut into
332
00:14:32,870 --> 00:14:33,870
the stones that puma punku-- scholars
333
00:14:34,730 --> 00:14:35,730
call hoisting grips all very strange
334
00:14:37,370 --> 00:14:38,370
things to do if they could simply
335
00:14:38,690 --> 00:14:39,690
levitate these blocks and to make
336
00:14:41,090 --> 00:14:42,090
matters worse for the ancient astronaut
337
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,040
theory here according to archaeologist
338
00:14:45,410 --> 00:14:46,410
jean-pierre proxxon who is an expert on
339
00:14:48,410 --> 00:14:49,410
puma punku-- there is almost no stone at
340
00:14:51,170 --> 00:14:52,170
the puma punku site that does not have
341
00:14:53,660 --> 00:14:54,660
what he calls drag marks on one of its
342
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:57,240
phases where it has been well dragged to
343
00:14:59,780 --> 00:15:00,780
the site ancient aliens throws up
344
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,000
another false dilemma here what nobody
345
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:05,160
talks about is the irrefutable fact that
346
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:07,320
we are at an altitude of 12,000 800 feet
347
00:15:10,790 --> 00:15:11,790
which means we are above the natural
348
00:15:15,050 --> 00:15:16,050
tree line no trees ever grew in that
349
00:15:20,290 --> 00:15:21,290
area meaning no trees were cut down
350
00:15:25,190 --> 00:15:26,190
in order to use wooden rollers the
351
00:15:29,690 --> 00:15:30,690
wooden roller Theory falls by the
352
00:15:33,139 --> 00:15:34,139
wayside this is like saying that there's
353
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:36,600
no way that the Egyptians used wood
354
00:15:37,490 --> 00:15:38,490
because trees didn't grow in Egypt which
355
00:15:40,220 --> 00:15:41,220
is true the difference is is that while
356
00:15:42,529 --> 00:15:43,529
the Egyptians had to import wood from
357
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:45,720
places like Lebanon it would have been
358
00:15:46,579 --> 00:15:47,579
far easier for those at puma punku to
359
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:49,800
solve this problem all they would have
360
00:15:50,569 --> 00:15:51,569
had to do is simply walk down the hill a
361
00:15:52,819 --> 00:15:53,819
little bit okay well what about this
362
00:15:55,129 --> 00:15:56,129
claim logic does not exist at puma punku
363
00:15:59,300 --> 00:16:00,300
because there we have megalithic
364
00:16:02,620 --> 00:16:03,620
structures which just lie about this
365
00:16:06,319 --> 00:16:07,319
entire site as if ripped apart by some
366
00:16:10,069 --> 00:16:11,069
sort of a great force
367
00:16:12,990 --> 00:16:13,990
I propose that logic still exists at
368
00:16:15,930 --> 00:16:16,930
puma punku and that the scattered state
369
00:16:18,089 --> 00:16:19,089
of the complex can easily be explained
370
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,040
quoting from archaeologists alexey Vrana
371
00:16:22,529 --> 00:16:23,529
CH quote the high quality of the stones
372
00:16:24,779 --> 00:16:25,779
made it attractive building material for
373
00:16:27,330 --> 00:16:28,330
houses churches plazas bridges even
374
00:16:30,570 --> 00:16:31,570
railways in other words the stones were
375
00:16:33,149 --> 00:16:34,149
pulled down and hauled off by locals for
376
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:36,520
building material in fact we have the
377
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:38,920
400 year old writings of a visitor to
378
00:16:40,260 --> 00:16:41,260
puma punku
379
00:16:41,070 --> 00:16:42,070
who said that the looting was in full
380
00:16:42,959 --> 00:16:43,959
swing even back then he wrote that if
381
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:46,600
the site was closer to town he didn't
382
00:16:47,790 --> 00:16:48,790
think there would have been any stones
383
00:16:48,839 --> 00:16:49,839
left at all ancient alien says that puma
384
00:16:51,660 --> 00:16:52,660
punku is 17,000 years old this is what
385
00:16:55,170 --> 00:16:56,170
Vantage said of this claim quote the
386
00:16:57,750 --> 00:16:58,750
idea that Tiahuanaco is fourteen
387
00:16:59,580 --> 00:17:00,580
thousand years old is based on a rather
388
00:17:01,890 --> 00:17:02,890
faulty study done in 1926 since then
389
00:17:05,579 --> 00:17:06,579
there has been a huge quantity of work
390
00:17:07,290 --> 00:17:08,290
both on the archeology and the geology
391
00:17:09,839 --> 00:17:10,839
of the area and all data indicates that
392
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:13,480
Tiahuanaco existed from around ad 300 to
393
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:16,600
500 for more information on the faulty
394
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:19,600
study he's referring to here I will
395
00:17:20,610 --> 00:17:21,610
quote at length from Jason Colavito who
396
00:17:23,189 --> 00:17:24,189
has been debunking ancient astronaut
397
00:17:24,929 --> 00:17:25,929
theorists for years in his books and
398
00:17:26,610 --> 00:17:27,610
blogs he said the following about this
399
00:17:28,890 --> 00:17:29,890
claim quote Tiahuanaco is not 17,000
400
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:33,280
years old this state derives from the
401
00:17:34,559 --> 00:17:35,559
work of Arthur posnansky who tried to
402
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:37,840
apply archaeo-astronomer to the site but
403
00:17:39,270 --> 00:17:40,270
did so in ways that modern scholars do
404
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:42,400
not recognize as legitimate posnansky
405
00:17:44,309 --> 00:17:45,309
proposed a date of 15,000 BP before
406
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:48,520
present ie 13,000 BCE which the geniuses
407
00:17:52,260 --> 00:17:53,260
on ancient aliens misread as 15,000 BCE
408
00:17:55,429 --> 00:17:56,429
adding an extra 2,000 years onto
409
00:17:58,309 --> 00:17:59,309
posnansky 'he's already flawed dates
410
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:01,480
here's what he did wrong posnansky
411
00:18:03,179 --> 00:18:04,179
assumed that the Calla societ temple at
412
00:18:05,580 --> 00:18:06,580
Tiahuanaco was laid out with perfect
413
00:18:08,010 --> 00:18:09,010
accuracy to align to the equinoxes and
414
00:18:10,559 --> 00:18:11,559
solstices that he felt but could not
415
00:18:13,290 --> 00:18:14,290
prove were important to the tihuanaco
416
00:18:15,300 --> 00:18:16,300
people thus on a certain day the Sun was
417
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:19,600
supposed to rise above one rock at the
418
00:18:20,730 --> 00:18:21,730
temple and set behind another ah but
419
00:18:23,730 --> 00:18:24,730
which rock should we choose since the
420
00:18:26,070 --> 00:18:27,070
current
421
00:18:26,580 --> 00:18:27,580
do not align with these celestial events
422
00:18:28,919 --> 00:18:29,919
accurately he concluded that the ruins
423
00:18:31,140 --> 00:18:32,140
must have been built at a time when they
424
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,000
would have aligned with that event since
425
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:36,760
the Sun and sky changed positions at a
426
00:18:38,010 --> 00:18:39,010
predictable rate due to the gradual
427
00:18:39,779 --> 00:18:40,779
changes in the angle of the Earth's axis
428
00:18:41,820 --> 00:18:42,820
he concluded that the callous society
429
00:18:44,220 --> 00:18:45,220
temple was built in 13,000 BCE as a
430
00:18:47,070 --> 00:18:48,070
solar observatory despite no other
431
00:18:50,039 --> 00:18:51,039
evidence of solar astronomy at the site
432
00:18:52,169 --> 00:18:53,169
the long and the short of it is that
433
00:18:54,179 --> 00:18:55,179
posnansky assumed celestial alignments
434
00:18:57,059 --> 00:18:58,059
and assumed flawless construction and
435
00:18:59,580 --> 00:19:00,580
then used his assumptions to prove that
436
00:19:02,279 --> 00:19:03,279
his assumptions were correct Colavito
437
00:19:04,529 --> 00:19:05,529
also has this picture of the site with
438
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:07,480
the caption pick a rock any rock one of
439
00:19:09,090 --> 00:19:10,090
them must align with something this site
440
00:19:11,279 --> 00:19:12,279
has been dated using a huge variety of
441
00:19:13,470 --> 00:19:14,470
methods things like carbon dating the
442
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:17,200
type of metals they used the debris
443
00:19:18,269 --> 00:19:19,269
found in certain places the type of
444
00:19:20,190 --> 00:19:21,190
iconography they used literally every
445
00:19:22,769 --> 00:19:23,769
kind of dating method applied comes to
446
00:19:24,990 --> 00:19:25,990
the same conclusion it was constructed
447
00:19:27,419 --> 00:19:28,419
in the early Middle Ages before we
448
00:19:29,610 --> 00:19:30,610
conclude this section on puma punku
449
00:19:31,230 --> 00:19:32,230
there are two other claims I wanted to
450
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:34,240
address the spanish conqueror asked the
451
00:19:37,529 --> 00:19:38,529
inca the people living there including
452
00:19:39,950 --> 00:19:40,950
the king of the inca what is this puma
453
00:19:43,799 --> 00:19:44,799
punku
454
00:19:45,850 --> 00:19:46,850
and they all said it's not us it's not
455
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:51,200
our forefather who make this this were
456
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:53,960
made by the gods in one single night
457
00:19:57,539 --> 00:19:58,539
usually a king is proud about what his
458
00:20:02,109 --> 00:20:03,109
people did about the precision and so on
459
00:20:04,929 --> 00:20:05,929
in that case the chief and the people
460
00:20:08,109 --> 00:20:09,109
said no it was not us it was the gods
461
00:20:11,049 --> 00:20:12,049
who made it
462
00:20:13,530 --> 00:20:14,530
if you understand a little about the
463
00:20:15,510 --> 00:20:16,510
Incan Imperial system and religion you
464
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,000
will understand why the Incans didn't
465
00:20:19,770 --> 00:20:20,770
claim the site and even why they claim
466
00:20:22,020 --> 00:20:23,020
that it had a supernatural origin part
467
00:20:24,300 --> 00:20:25,300
of the Incan state religion was that the
468
00:20:26,190 --> 00:20:27,190
Incan Empire was the first civilization
469
00:20:28,740 --> 00:20:29,740
and it was created by God himself it was
470
00:20:31,620 --> 00:20:32,620
a very convenient idea for bolstering
471
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:34,600
the Incan case for the right to rule
472
00:20:36,120 --> 00:20:37,120
everyone else when the Incans arrived at
473
00:20:38,580 --> 00:20:39,580
puma punku the site had already been
474
00:20:40,470 --> 00:20:41,470
abandoned for at least a hundred years
475
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:43,560
admitting that there was a pre incan
476
00:20:45,090 --> 00:20:46,090
culture at all let alone one with more
477
00:20:47,610 --> 00:20:48,610
skill than them would have been
478
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,080
detrimental to the whole scheme so they
479
00:20:51,930 --> 00:20:52,930
slightly modified their already existing
480
00:20:53,660 --> 00:20:54,660
mythology to include puma punku so
481
00:20:57,180 --> 00:20:58,180
instead of Viracocha creating the Incan
482
00:20:59,490 --> 00:21:00,490
capital he also created puma punku and
483
00:21:02,070 --> 00:21:03,070
just like that the Incans were still the
484
00:21:04,470 --> 00:21:05,470
oldest and greatest civilization even
485
00:21:07,230 --> 00:21:08,230
though everyone probably knew it wasn't
486
00:21:09,090 --> 00:21:10,090
true and finally ancient alien says the
487
00:21:11,790 --> 00:21:12,790
following about what the ancient local
488
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:14,800
people believed regarding who
489
00:21:15,360 --> 00:21:16,360
constructed puma punku local legends
490
00:21:17,910 --> 00:21:18,910
suggest that tiahuanaco was built as a
491
00:21:20,610 --> 00:21:21,610
site of religious pilgrimage to
492
00:21:22,950 --> 00:21:23,950
celebrate the arrival of sky gods but
493
00:21:25,380 --> 00:21:26,380
this is a total lie veera kocha came
494
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:28,600
from the sea not from the sky this is
495
00:21:30,090 --> 00:21:31,090
the very sneaky move by ancient aliens
496
00:21:32,220 --> 00:21:33,220
in my opinion so in conclusion the
497
00:21:34,770 --> 00:21:35,770
stones are not made of granite and
498
00:21:36,210 --> 00:21:37,210
diorite the stones were easily workable
499
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:39,400
with the tools available to the Andean
500
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:41,680
culture tools which we know included
501
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:44,080
high quality metal alloys chisels these
502
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:47,200
tools would have been more than
503
00:21:47,310 --> 00:21:48,310
sufficient to make the angles seen at
504
00:21:49,290 --> 00:21:50,290
puma punku the faces of the rocks have
505
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:52,720
been finished using a polishing
506
00:21:53,340 --> 00:21:54,340
technique after being rough cut using
507
00:21:55,590 --> 00:21:56,590
stone hammers evidenced by the
508
00:21:57,540 --> 00:21:58,540
unfinished stones and hidden areas of
509
00:22:00,030 --> 00:22:01,030
the finished stones the moving of the
510
00:22:02,100 --> 00:22:03,100
stones was not as difficult as ancient
511
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:05,200
aliens makes it seem especially when you
512
00:22:06,570 --> 00:22:07,570
take into account that they are telling
513
00:22:08,370 --> 00:22:09,370
people that the stones weigh 600 tons
514
00:22:10,650 --> 00:22:11,650
more than they actually do the stones
515
00:22:13,110 --> 00:22:14,110
have telltale drag marks and hoisting
516
00:22:15,300 --> 00:22:16,300
holes for ropes all showing that they
517
00:22:17,370 --> 00:22:18,370
were not levitated as ancient aliens
518
00:22:19,530 --> 00:22:20,530
would have us believe we know the
519
00:22:21,390 --> 00:22:22,390
culture which built this monument and
520
00:22:23,070 --> 00:22:24,070
all the iconography and sculptures are
521
00:22:25,470 --> 00:22:26,470
consistent with that culture
522
00:22:26,970 --> 00:22:27,970
and the various methods of dating that
523
00:22:28,980 --> 00:22:29,980
scientists use all point to the same
524
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:31,840
time period the idea that puma punku was
525
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:34,840
from Atlantean times we now know is
526
00:22:36,210 --> 00:22:37,210
based on a very transparently flawed
527
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:39,480
presupposition
528
00:22:41,230 --> 00:22:42,230
[Music]
529
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:49,480
perhaps the most familiar and most
530
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:52,640
mysterious megalithic structure in all
531
00:22:54,430 --> 00:22:55,430
the world is the Great Pyramid of Giza
532
00:22:57,030 --> 00:22:58,030
the enormous size and weight of the
533
00:22:59,950 --> 00:23:00,950
stones multiplied by the sheer number of
534
00:23:02,890 --> 00:23:03,890
them makes one thing certain the
535
00:23:06,190 --> 00:23:07,190
construction of the Great Pyramid
536
00:23:07,830 --> 00:23:08,830
remains one of the greatest marvels and
537
00:23:10,570 --> 00:23:11,570
mysteries of architectural engineering
538
00:23:13,690 --> 00:23:14,690
the Pyramids at Giza are marvels of
539
00:23:16,390 --> 00:23:17,390
engineering and there are many theories
540
00:23:18,490 --> 00:23:19,490
about how they were constructed from the
541
00:23:20,770 --> 00:23:21,770
mundane to the fantastic there are all
542
00:23:24,370 --> 00:23:25,370
kinds of theories on how the Great
543
00:23:26,140 --> 00:23:27,140
Pyramid of Giza was built so many
544
00:23:28,390 --> 00:23:29,390
theories you just sit back and shake
545
00:23:30,190 --> 00:23:31,190
your head and that includes et
546
00:23:32,650 --> 00:23:33,650
visitations levitating the blocks with
547
00:23:36,790 --> 00:23:37,790
some kind of sound system one place we
548
00:23:38,980 --> 00:23:39,980
can learn a lot about Egyptian stone
549
00:23:40,630 --> 00:23:41,630
cutting methods is from the so called
550
00:23:42,730 --> 00:23:43,730
unfinished obelisk here we have a 1,000
551
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:47,600
ton obelisk made of granite which was
552
00:23:49,690 --> 00:23:50,690
abandoned midway through the project
553
00:23:51,430 --> 00:23:52,430
because of a crack that developed this
554
00:23:53,770 --> 00:23:54,770
stone because it is unfinished gives us
555
00:23:56,740 --> 00:23:57,740
direct insight into how they cut and
556
00:23:59,050 --> 00:24:00,050
shaped granite as well as other stones
557
00:24:01,210 --> 00:24:02,210
on the sides we can see how these stones
558
00:24:03,850 --> 00:24:04,850
were separated from the quarry a team of
559
00:24:06,550 --> 00:24:07,550
workers would line up side by side and
560
00:24:08,740 --> 00:24:09,740
pound their sections with a diary
561
00:24:10,990 --> 00:24:11,990
pounding stone such pounding stones can
562
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:14,840
be found all over this and other queries
563
00:24:16,510 --> 00:24:17,510
in Egypt this pounding only broke off
564
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:19,880
millimeters of granite at a time but
565
00:24:21,460 --> 00:24:22,460
eventually these trough like sections
566
00:24:23,830 --> 00:24:24,830
emerged at each workers station after
567
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:28,280
that they would do the same thing on the
568
00:24:29,170 --> 00:24:30,170
bottom of the block until it was
569
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:32,240
supported only by a thin spine in the
570
00:24:33,610 --> 00:24:34,610
middle then it would be snapped off
571
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:36,800
using levers the people who created the
572
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:39,680
moai statues at Easter Island used very
573
00:24:41,410 --> 00:24:42,410
similar methods for quarried stone as
574
00:24:43,360 --> 00:24:44,360
did many other groups around the world
575
00:24:45,250 --> 00:24:46,250
as we will see after the stones had been
576
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:48,920
roughly shaped using pounding stones
577
00:24:50,110 --> 00:24:51,110
they would then begin to polish them
578
00:24:52,270 --> 00:24:53,270
with grinders there have been many types
579
00:24:54,580 --> 00:24:55,580
of stone grinders or polishers found in
580
00:24:57,460 --> 00:24:58,460
ancient Egypt the
581
00:24:58,880 --> 00:24:59,880
usually had a handle with a flat surface
582
00:25:00,770 --> 00:25:01,770
which they would use to rub against the
583
00:25:02,900 --> 00:25:03,900
stone with sand as the abrasive they
584
00:25:05,390 --> 00:25:06,390
were well sanding the stone the various
585
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:09,960
mineral particles found in sand are hard
586
00:25:12,020 --> 00:25:13,020
enough not only to polish hard stones
587
00:25:14,360 --> 00:25:15,360
like granite but also to do what ancient
588
00:25:17,330 --> 00:25:18,330
aliens tries to make people think is
589
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:20,160
utterly impossible that is to cut
590
00:25:21,830 --> 00:25:22,830
granite the Egyptians had a variety of
591
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:25,320
ways to cut granite mostly involving
592
00:25:27,020 --> 00:25:28,020
copper and sand there are plenty of saw
593
00:25:29,870 --> 00:25:30,870
marks on granite stones in Egypt at the
594
00:25:32,780 --> 00:25:33,780
granite quarries of course as well as
595
00:25:35,180 --> 00:25:36,180
certain notable ones like the famous
596
00:25:37,430 --> 00:25:38,430
granite sarcophagus in the Great Pyramid
597
00:25:39,650 --> 00:25:40,650
the person who is doing the sign on the
598
00:25:42,110 --> 00:25:43,110
sarcophagus sawed for a while at the
599
00:25:44,660 --> 00:25:45,660
wrong angle before realizing his mistake
600
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,000
in going in the right direction which
601
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:50,520
left a pretty big mark for us to study
602
00:25:51,790 --> 00:25:52,790
these copper saws came in three basic
603
00:25:55,220 --> 00:25:56,220
styles one was a two-person saw like an
604
00:25:58,400 --> 00:25:59,400
old-time lumber saw another type was a
605
00:26:01,340 --> 00:26:02,340
small handheld saw with a wooden handle
606
00:26:04,010 --> 00:26:05,010
and finally there was a tubular saw for
607
00:26:07,220 --> 00:26:08,220
making holes in granite and other stones
608
00:26:09,530 --> 00:26:10,530
these saws are depicted in several
609
00:26:12,290 --> 00:26:13,290
Egyptian reliefs interestingly they
610
00:26:15,170 --> 00:26:16,170
didn't require saw teeth to work they
611
00:26:17,630 --> 00:26:18,630
only required sand to be placed between
612
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,000
the saw and the stones the sand was what
613
00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:24,120
did the cutting
614
00:26:23,780 --> 00:26:24,780
this particular method of stone cutting
615
00:26:26,030 --> 00:26:27,030
has been tested by ancient Egyptian tool
616
00:26:28,340 --> 00:26:29,340
experts and not only was it done but it
617
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:32,400
was apparently quite easy to do
618
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:34,560
however sawing granite with copper was
619
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:37,320
expensive because the copper would wear
620
00:26:38,630 --> 00:26:39,630
out somewhat quickly therefore you
621
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:42,240
mostly see granite in ancient Egypt
622
00:26:43,550 --> 00:26:44,550
being worked with pounding stones
623
00:26:45,380 --> 00:26:46,380
finished with grinders and chisels the
624
00:26:48,410 --> 00:26:49,410
saw work was reserved primarily for
625
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:51,840
royal projects like that of the
626
00:26:53,090 --> 00:26:54,090
sarcophagus all of this really makes
627
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:56,760
ancient aliens lose credibility because
628
00:26:57,950 --> 00:26:58,950
all throughout the series they make it
629
00:27:00,410 --> 00:27:01,410
sound like working with granite was only
630
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:03,840
possible using diamond tipped alien
631
00:27:05,540 --> 00:27:06,540
power tools but as all this relates to
632
00:27:08,780 --> 00:27:09,780
the great pyramids construction it's
633
00:27:11,120 --> 00:27:12,120
important to remember that
634
00:27:12,590 --> 00:27:13,590
none of the pyramid is made from granite
635
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:15,600
except for a few things like the roof
636
00:27:16,610 --> 00:27:17,610
supports for the King's Chamber
637
00:27:18,350 --> 00:27:19,350
most of the stone was sandstone and
638
00:27:20,870 --> 00:27:21,870
limestone about 85% of the stone used in
639
00:27:25,130 --> 00:27:26,130
the construction of the pyramids was
640
00:27:27,049 --> 00:27:28,049
relatively soft sandstone which was
641
00:27:29,870 --> 00:27:30,870
quarried right on site that's right the
642
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:34,320
Great Pyramid was built right in the
643
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:36,600
middle of a massive sandstone quarry
644
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:38,640
which was no doubt at least one factor
645
00:27:40,460 --> 00:27:41,460
in choosing the location to build it the
646
00:27:43,130 --> 00:27:44,130
other 15 percent of the stones like that
647
00:27:45,529 --> 00:27:46,529
of limestone and granite would have to
648
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:48,840
be brought in from a slightly further
649
00:27:49,309 --> 00:27:50,309
away location so this raises another
650
00:27:51,980 --> 00:27:52,980
question what about moving these stones
651
00:27:54,250 --> 00:27:55,250
surely the only way is by levitation as
652
00:27:57,140 --> 00:27:58,140
ancient aliens claims in order to really
653
00:27:59,809 --> 00:28:00,809
move massive amounts of stone like that
654
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:03,240
they would have had to have been
655
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:05,720
levitated somehow made weightless and
656
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:09,480
then just move through the air by some
657
00:28:11,779 --> 00:28:12,779
kind of device perhaps even a handheld
658
00:28:14,740 --> 00:28:15,740
kind of device like some beam weapon if
659
00:28:18,260 --> 00:28:19,260
levitation was the way that the ancient
660
00:28:20,750 --> 00:28:21,750
Egyptians moved stones they had a funny
661
00:28:23,299 --> 00:28:24,299
way of showing it because there are
662
00:28:25,340 --> 00:28:26,340
plenty of depictions of them using
663
00:28:27,770 --> 00:28:28,770
wooden sleds to move everything from
664
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:31,440
blocks the size and shape of the ones
665
00:28:33,289 --> 00:28:34,289
used for the pyramid to massive 1000 ton
666
00:28:36,799 --> 00:28:37,799
monuments and obelisks all using wooden
667
00:28:40,130 --> 00:28:41,130
sleds they even had a hieroglyph for the
668
00:28:42,980 --> 00:28:43,980
word sled which they used often in fact
669
00:28:46,309 --> 00:28:47,309
three such sleds have been found intact
670
00:28:49,250 --> 00:28:50,250
by archeologists and they have all kinds
671
00:28:52,130 --> 00:28:53,130
of places to attach ropes to speaking of
672
00:28:55,220 --> 00:28:56,220
ropes ropes made out of papyrus and
673
00:28:57,590 --> 00:28:58,590
other materials have been found in Egypt
674
00:28:59,510 --> 00:29:00,510
some of them with a massive
675
00:29:00,980 --> 00:29:01,980
circumference suggesting that they were
676
00:29:03,049 --> 00:29:04,049
used for extremely heavy objects boats
677
00:29:06,470 --> 00:29:07,470
were used for stones that needed to be
678
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:09,480
imported in fact a channel was dug from
679
00:29:10,909 --> 00:29:11,909
the Nile to the construction site
680
00:29:12,890 --> 00:29:13,890
so no stone had to be dragged very far
681
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:15,840
anyway so what about the construction of
682
00:29:18,500 --> 00:29:19,500
the pyramids how exactly was it done
683
00:29:21,490 --> 00:29:22,490
part of the reason that the ancient
684
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:24,840
aliens perspective is attractive
685
00:29:26,060 --> 00:29:27,060
because some of the other popular
686
00:29:27,890 --> 00:29:28,890
theories concerning the pyramids
687
00:29:29,540 --> 00:29:30,540
construction have serious problems such
688
00:29:31,850 --> 00:29:32,850
as the single ramp theory which would
689
00:29:34,310 --> 00:29:35,310
have had to extend out more than a mile
690
00:29:35,930 --> 00:29:36,930
and would have had to have more stones
691
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:38,760
in it than the pyramid itself another
692
00:29:40,250 --> 00:29:41,250
one is the spiral ramp theory this one
693
00:29:43,070 --> 00:29:44,070
is problematic because some of the
694
00:29:44,660 --> 00:29:45,660
ledges only had about two feet or less
695
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:47,880
to work with certainly not enough to
696
00:29:48,980 --> 00:29:49,980
hold a Ledge that would carry workers
697
00:29:50,930 --> 00:29:51,930
and stones the size of the ones used
698
00:29:53,260 --> 00:29:54,260
also a structure like the pyramid would
699
00:29:56,270 --> 00:29:57,270
have had to have been constantly
700
00:29:58,010 --> 00:29:59,010
monitored for geometric accuracy as it
701
00:30:01,190 --> 00:30:02,190
progressed upwards because being even a
702
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:04,800
few inches off on a lower level could
703
00:30:06,350 --> 00:30:07,350
cause the top to be off by huge amount
704
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:09,600
and a spiral ramp would have made it
705
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:11,880
impossible to survey the geometric
706
00:30:13,010 --> 00:30:14,010
accuracy of the pyramid as it progressed
707
00:30:15,260 --> 00:30:16,260
add to this that there's no actual
708
00:30:17,750 --> 00:30:18,750
evidence for either of those theories
709
00:30:19,820 --> 00:30:20,820
and you can see why people are looking
710
00:30:21,830 --> 00:30:22,830
for alternatives while doing research
711
00:30:24,230 --> 00:30:25,230
for this documentary I came across a new
712
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:27,840
theory about the pyramids construction
713
00:30:28,700 --> 00:30:29,700
that I had not heard before at first I
714
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:31,920
plan to mention it only briefly but the
715
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:34,080
more I heard of this theory the more
716
00:30:34,550 --> 00:30:35,550
convinced I became of its validity it
717
00:30:37,490 --> 00:30:38,490
was proposed not by an Egyptologist but
718
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:41,160
by an eccentric French architect named
719
00:30:42,380 --> 00:30:43,380
jean-pierre Houdin and if Jean Pierre is
720
00:30:45,260 --> 00:30:46,260
correct knowing how the blocks were
721
00:30:47,210 --> 00:30:48,210
raised in the pyramid also happens to
722
00:30:49,370 --> 00:30:50,370
explain some of the other mysteries like
723
00:30:51,650 --> 00:30:52,650
the purpose for the odd-shaped Grand
724
00:30:53,630 --> 00:30:54,630
Gallery as well as the purpose of the
725
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:56,760
granite blocks above the King's Chamber
726
00:30:57,620 --> 00:30:58,620
and why there were three burial chambers
727
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:00,720
cut at different levels in the pyramid
728
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:02,400
two of which were unused I will very
729
00:31:04,250 --> 00:31:05,250
briefly explain this theory but I highly
730
00:31:06,740 --> 00:31:07,740
encourage you to visit the links at the

00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:09,600
website on your screen because the
732
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:11,760
specifics of this theory are something
733
00:31:12,740 --> 00:31:13,740
that any pyramid enthusiast should be
734
00:31:14,810 --> 00:31:15,810
very familiar with in my opinion the
735
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:18,240
basic idea is that there was an internal
736
00:31:19,850 --> 00:31:20,850
ramp in the Great Pyramid and workers
737
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:23,400
dragged the blocks through it until they
738
00:31:24,410 --> 00:31:25,410
reached the corners at which point the
739
00:31:26,330 --> 00:31:27,330
block was repositioned for another team
740
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:29,160
to pull it up the next ramp also the
741
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:31,680
exterior limestone blocks with the
742
00:31:32,780 --> 00:31:33,780
polished finish would have been
743
00:31:34,370 --> 00:31:35,370
positioned and aligned first to ensure
744
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:37,560
geometric accuracy and
745
00:31:38,909 --> 00:31:39,909
then the sandstone blocks would have
746
00:31:40,710 --> 00:31:41,710
been positioned behind them as filler
747
00:31:42,539 --> 00:31:43,539
this would mean that all the internal
748
00:31:44,909 --> 00:31:45,909
chambers like the Queen in King's
749
00:31:46,590 --> 00:31:47,590
Chamber were built as the pyramid
750
00:31:48,659 --> 00:31:49,659
progressed upwards in the light of day
751
00:31:50,749 --> 00:31:51,749
this internal ramp Theory unlike some of
752
00:31:54,599 --> 00:31:55,599
the others is actually supported by
753
00:31:56,489 --> 00:31:57,489
quite a lot of physical evidence for
754
00:31:58,859 --> 00:31:59,859
example in the 1980s a French team
755
00:32:01,409 --> 00:32:02,409
looking for hidden chambers conducted a
756
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:05,200
full-scale gravimetric survey of the
757
00:32:06,570 --> 00:32:07,570
Great Pyramid kind of like a giant x-ray
758
00:32:09,179 --> 00:32:10,179
map of the entire pyramid they actually
759
00:32:12,210 --> 00:32:13,210
found evidence of this internal ramp
760
00:32:14,279 --> 00:32:15,279
through their study but they had no idea
761
00:32:16,409 --> 00:32:17,409
what to think of the spiral pattern they
762
00:32:18,539 --> 00:32:19,539
saw at the time so they simply filed it
763
00:32:21,029 --> 00:32:22,029
away until they heard about Jean
764
00:32:22,950 --> 00:32:23,950
Pierre's internal ramp theory 14 years
765
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:26,440
later in addition there is this knotch
766
00:32:28,529 --> 00:32:29,529
high up on the Great Pyramid which
767
00:32:30,929 --> 00:32:31,929
according to Jean Pierre rests exactly
768
00:32:33,599 --> 00:32:34,599
on the 7% grade where you would expect
769
00:32:35,879 --> 00:32:36,879
to find the internal ramp and would be
770
00:32:38,609 --> 00:32:39,609
at the exact place where the workers
771
00:32:40,590 --> 00:32:41,590
would have lifted the blocks and changed
772
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:43,960
the direction for the pullers Bob Bryar
773
00:32:45,509 --> 00:32:46,509
an Egyptologist who was working with
774
00:32:47,669 --> 00:32:48,669
jean-pierre was only allowed a few
775
00:32:49,499 --> 00:32:50,499
minutes to survey this notch and take a
776
00:32:51,509 --> 00:32:52,509
few pictures and measurements they found
777
00:32:53,729 --> 00:32:54,729
that there was indeed a large space
778
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:56,320
behind these stones and they made
779
00:32:57,119 --> 00:32:58,119
extensive computer models with the
780
00:32:59,099 --> 00:33:00,099
pictures that were taken as of 2012 the
781
00:33:02,039 --> 00:33:03,039
team is still waiting for clearance from
782
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:04,840
the Egyptian authorities to conduct a
783
00:33:05,820 --> 00:33:06,820
full-scale survey of this notch but
784
00:33:08,159 --> 00:33:09,159
perhaps even more interesting than this
785
00:33:10,139 --> 00:33:11,139
is the purpose for the Grand Gallery and
786
00:33:12,869 --> 00:33:13,869
the granite stones above the King's
787
00:33:14,999 --> 00:33:15,999
Chamber I mentioned them together
788
00:33:16,679 --> 00:33:17,679
because according to Jean Pierre they
789
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:19,960
are intimately connected first it's
790
00:33:21,629 --> 00:33:22,629
important to know the main difference
791
00:33:23,309 --> 00:33:24,309
between the Great Pyramid and the other
792
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:26,440
two Pyramids at Giza is that the Great
793
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:28,840
Pyramids burial chamber was inside the
794
00:33:30,809 --> 00:33:31,809
pyramid the other two were underground
795
00:33:33,059 --> 00:33:34,059
cut directly into the bedrock which
796
00:33:35,759 --> 00:33:36,759
meant that in those two pyramids they
797
00:33:37,769 --> 00:33:38,769
did not have to worry about the hundreds
798
00:33:39,479 --> 00:33:40,479
of thousands of tons of stone above it
799
00:33:41,669 --> 00:33:42,669
collapsing onto the tomb the Great
800
00:33:44,340 --> 00:33:45,340
Pyramid was different its chambers were
801
00:33:46,710 --> 00:33:47,710
in the middle of the pyramid and because
802
00:33:48,749 --> 00:33:49,749
of this the designer had to get creative
803
00:33:50,489 --> 00:33:51,489
to prevent the stones from
804
00:33:52,620 --> 00:33:53,620
scene in on the chambers in earlier
805
00:33:54,690 --> 00:33:55,690
pyramids in the area this had been
806
00:33:56,430 --> 00:33:57,430
accomplished using a stone roof that
807
00:33:58,650 --> 00:33:59,650
came together at an apex which
808
00:34:00,660 --> 00:34:01,660
distributed the weight of the blocks
809
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:03,160
away from the chamber but for the Great
810
00:34:04,620 --> 00:34:05,620
Pyramid the designer wanted to be more
811
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:07,720
ornate opting for a flat roof in the
812
00:34:09,510 --> 00:34:10,510
King's Chamber which would have easily
813
00:34:11,399 --> 00:34:12,399
collapsed if he didn't find a way to
814
00:34:13,139 --> 00:34:14,139
distribute the weight of the stones
815
00:34:14,580 --> 00:34:15,580
above it away from the roof he
816
00:34:17,310 --> 00:34:18,310
ingeniously added a series of large
817
00:34:19,889 --> 00:34:20,889
granite blocks spaced out evenly above
818
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:24,040
the chamber capping those stones with
819
00:34:25,530 --> 00:34:26,530
the same apex roof idea from the earlier
820
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:28,960
pyramids which distributed the weight
821
00:34:30,060 --> 00:34:31,060
safely away from the king's chamber
822
00:34:31,770 --> 00:34:32,770
ceiling this did indeed solve the
823
00:34:34,620 --> 00:34:35,620
problem of the weight of the stones
824
00:34:36,149 --> 00:34:37,149
collapsing the chamber but it caused
825
00:34:38,550 --> 00:34:39,550
another problem how could you get those
826
00:34:40,830 --> 00:34:41,830
granite stones up there for placement
827
00:34:42,929 --> 00:34:43,929
they would have been too big for the
828
00:34:44,700 --> 00:34:45,700
internal ramp and too heavy even at a 7%
829
00:34:48,149 --> 00:34:49,149
incline for the solution we look to the
830
00:34:51,030 --> 00:34:52,030
Grand Gallery the Grand Gallery has
831
00:34:53,460 --> 00:34:54,460
puzzled Egyptologists ever since it was
832
00:34:55,470 --> 00:34:56,470
discovered it's such an odd shape and it
833
00:34:58,530 --> 00:34:59,530
doesn't seem to make sense to construct
834
00:35:00,270 --> 00:35:01,270
it the way it's constructed if it's
835
00:35:02,370 --> 00:35:03,370
simply a path to get from point A to
836
00:35:04,170 --> 00:35:05,170
point B this has led to much speculation
837
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:07,840
about its purpose
838
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:09,600
jean-pierre has proposed that the Grand
839
00:35:10,890 --> 00:35:11,890
Gallery was used as a massive
840
00:35:12,930 --> 00:35:13,930
counterweight system where a wooden
841
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:16,360
trolley was loaded with stones and
842
00:35:17,130 --> 00:35:18,130
rigged with ropes and was used to
843
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:20,440
provide the force to lift the heaviest
844
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:22,480
objects basically it was the equivalent
845
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:24,880
of a freight elevator there's actually a
846
00:35:26,670 --> 00:35:27,670
lot of physical evidence for this too
847
00:35:28,350 --> 00:35:29,350
and it explains all kinds of peculiar
848
00:35:30,540 --> 00:35:31,540
details about the Grand Gallery for
849
00:35:32,670 --> 00:35:33,670
example the odd holes and the so-called
850
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:35,680
benches of the Grand Gallery were used
851
00:35:36,990 --> 00:35:37,990
to connect a wooden guide system for the
852
00:35:39,060 --> 00:35:40,060
trolley it also explains why there are
853
00:35:41,190 --> 00:35:42,190
remnants of grease as well as scratches
854
00:35:43,350 --> 00:35:44,350
along the bottom of the chamber where
855
00:35:45,240 --> 00:35:46,240
the trolley would have rubbed against
856
00:35:46,710 --> 00:35:47,710
the stone it was apparently lubricated
857
00:35:49,140 --> 00:35:50,140
to make it run smoother it explains the
858
00:35:51,450 --> 00:35:52,450
odd way the stones were worn at the top
859
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:54,760
of the so called step of the Grand
860
00:35:55,650 --> 00:35:56,650
Gallery exactly where the ropes would
861
00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:58,960
have had to be this area has now been
862
00:35:59,910 --> 00:36:00,910
cemented over to make a step but you can
863
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:03,400
see in the old pictures what it looked
864
00:36:04,109 --> 00:36:05,109
like when the first explorers arrived
865
00:36:06,240 --> 00:36:07,240
this freight elevator would have
866
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:09,160
required a small external ramp which
867
00:36:10,710 --> 00:36:11,710
there is some evidence for and even
868
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:13,840
those who opposed the long single ramp
869
00:36:15,119 --> 00:36:16,119
theory agree that there probably was a
870
00:36:17,100 --> 00:36:18,100
small ramp at the beginning of the
871
00:36:18,780 --> 00:36:19,780
construction this ramp would have been
872
00:36:20,730 --> 00:36:21,730
dismantled after the completion of the
873
00:36:22,619 --> 00:36:23,619
King's Chamber and the stones would have
874
00:36:24,570 --> 00:36:25,570
been dragged up the internal ramp to
875
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:27,640
finish the rest of the pyramid
876
00:36:27,980 --> 00:36:28,980
jean-pierre and his team have made a lot
877
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:31,360
of converts to this idea including a
878
00:36:32,700 --> 00:36:33,700
number of well respected Egyptologists
879
00:36:34,050 --> 00:36:35,050
and pyramid experts but as of 2012 they
880
00:36:38,220 --> 00:36:39,220
are still in the final stages of being
881
00:36:40,140 --> 00:36:41,140
approved by the Egyptian government for
882
00:36:42,119 --> 00:36:43,119
more work on the site who dad's idea of
883
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:45,760
an internal ramp I think is coherent I
884
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:48,640
think there's good circumstantial
885
00:36:49,110 --> 00:36:50,110
evidence for it if you have watched the
886
00:36:51,060 --> 00:36:52,060
National Geographic special on his view
887
00:36:54,690 --> 00:36:55,690
I think you would agree that there is
888
00:36:56,100 --> 00:36:57,100
good circumstantial evidence for it has
889
00:36:58,110 --> 00:36:59,110
it there's a lot of explanatory power
890
00:37:00,060 --> 00:37:01,060
for a lot of the fundamental questions
891
00:37:03,119 --> 00:37:04,119
and I think it's important because who
892
00:37:05,700 --> 00:37:06,700
dance theory depends on a very simple
893
00:37:08,340 --> 00:37:09,340
idea in engineering both in the ancient
894
00:37:10,650 --> 00:37:11,650
world and in today's world and that is
895
00:37:12,690 --> 00:37:13,690
the use of weight and counterweight
896
00:37:14,900 --> 00:37:15,900
using the weight of one object to lift
897
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:18,880
an object of greater weight whether or
898
00:37:20,940 --> 00:37:21,940
not this theory proves to be perfectly
899
00:37:22,950 --> 00:37:23,950
true in every respect will hopefully
900
00:37:25,260 --> 00:37:26,260
soon be seen but I at least hope that by
901
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:29,320
now most of us concede that these
902
00:37:30,240 --> 00:37:31,240
construction techniques are well within
903
00:37:32,490 --> 00:37:33,490
the capability of mankind to conceive of
904
00:37:34,740 --> 00:37:35,740
and to do without the intervention of
905
00:37:37,830 --> 00:37:38,830
aliens

archaeological site stand the ruins of

00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:13,200
that is much much older according to
917
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:16,680
archaeologists it dates back nearly
918
00:38:18,730 --> 00:38:19,730
9,000 years
919
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:23,160
the ancient city of Baalbek named after
920
00:38:26,750 --> 00:38:27,750
the early Canaanite deity Baal and so
921
00:38:29,930 --> 00:38:30,930
because it was already sacred to the god
922
00:38:32,119 --> 00:38:33,119
Bale then later the Greeks and the
923
00:38:35,269 --> 00:38:36,269
Romans then would build temples on this
924
00:38:37,579 --> 00:38:38,579
very same spot archaeological surveys
925
00:38:43,730 --> 00:38:44,730
have revealed that the enormous stone
926
00:38:45,799 --> 00:38:46,799
foundation that lies at the base of the
927
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:49,680
site dates back tens of thousands of
928
00:38:51,799 --> 00:38:52,799
years but even more significant to
929
00:38:55,190 --> 00:38:56,190
ancient astronaut theorists is their
930
00:38:58,160 --> 00:38:59,160
belief that the colossal stone platform
931
00:39:00,349 --> 00:39:01,349
may once have served as a landing pad
932
00:39:03,799 --> 00:39:04,799
for space travelers
933
00:39:08,550 --> 00:39:09,550
the idea that ancient aliens will try to
934
00:39:10,830 --> 00:39:11,830
convey is that underneath the Roman
935
00:39:12,930 --> 00:39:13,930
ruins lies a very old platform that was
936
00:39:15,720 --> 00:39:16,720
once used to launch spacecraft as we
937
00:39:18,390 --> 00:39:19,390
watch the next clip listen for the first
938
00:39:20,670 --> 00:39:21,670
thing they cite as evidence for this
939
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:23,680
claim but what was originally there
940
00:39:25,490 --> 00:39:26,490
before the Roman temple was this
941
00:39:28,290 --> 00:39:29,290
spaceport platform that was apparently
942
00:39:32,450 --> 00:39:33,450
used for extraterrestrials coming and
943
00:39:36,870 --> 00:39:37,870
going on planet Earth as evidence
944
00:39:41,070 --> 00:39:42,070
researchers point to the gigantic
945
00:39:43,710 --> 00:39:44,710
megalithic stones incorporated into the
946
00:39:46,620 --> 00:39:47,620
foundation each weighing between 800 to
947
00:39:50,180 --> 00:39:51,180
1,200 tons and perfectly fitted together
948
00:39:55,310 --> 00:39:56,310
[Music]
949
00:39:57,570 --> 00:39:58,570
these three stones they're referring to
950
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,000
are called the trilithon x' and the
951
00:40:02,070 --> 00:40:03,070
heaviest of the three is 800 tonnes not
952
00:40:04,830 --> 00:40:05,830
1,200 tons as they say there are two
953
00:40:07,530 --> 00:40:08,530
other stones that are heavier than this
954
00:40:09,240 --> 00:40:10,240
around the area but they are unused
955
00:40:11,460 --> 00:40:12,460
still connected to the bedrock in the
956
00:40:13,410 --> 00:40:14,410
quarries and thus are obviously not part
957
00:40:15,870 --> 00:40:16,870
of the trilithon x' the way the
958
00:40:17,460 --> 00:40:18,460
information is presented about these
959
00:40:19,020 --> 00:40:20,020
three stones leaves the viewer to
960
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:21,880
believe that they are part of the
961
00:40:22,410 --> 00:40:23,410
foundation or platform of the baile
962
00:40:24,690 --> 00:40:25,690
backsight what they want the viewer to
963
00:40:26,850 --> 00:40:27,850
think is that spacecraft lifted off and
964
00:40:29,250 --> 00:40:30,250
landed on the stones of this platform
965
00:40:31,350 --> 00:40:32,350
they also claim that these three stones
966
00:40:33,420 --> 00:40:34,420
cannot be of Roman construction as the
967
00:40:35,820 --> 00:40:36,820
mainstream archeologists believe but
968
00:40:37,860 --> 00:40:38,860
they say that they were part of the
969
00:40:39,090 --> 00:40:40,090
earliest structure at the Bale Beck site
970
00:40:41,100 --> 00:40:42,100
and that the Greeks and Romans only
971
00:40:43,230 --> 00:40:44,230
built on top of this ancient foundation
972
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:46,360
and it is true that there was a very old
973
00:40:47,580 --> 00:40:48,580
pre Roman temple at this site but we
974
00:40:50,790 --> 00:40:51,790
will learn more about that later our
975
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:53,320
focus at the moment is the trilithon
976
00:40:54,390 --> 00:40:55,390
stones ancient alien says that these
977
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:57,760
three stones are the real mystery of
978
00:40:58,650 --> 00:40:59,650
Baalbek this is the real mystery of
979
00:41:01,140 --> 00:41:02,140
Baalbek how these stones came to be
980
00:41:03,540 --> 00:41:04,540
there why they were placed there and
981
00:41:05,610 --> 00:41:06,610
specifically how they were transported
982
00:41:07,590 --> 00:41:08,590
into place because some of the stones
983
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:10,480
are of such magnitude that modern
984
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:12,280
machinery is incapable of putting them
985
00:41:13,470 --> 00:41:14,470
there but somehow our ancestors were
986
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:16,480
able to do this to solve this mystery we
987
00:41:17,970 --> 00:41:18,970
need to first understand that these
988
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:20,440
three stones do not form the foundation
989
00:41:22,140 --> 00:41:23,140
of bail back as is so often suggested
990
00:41:24,510 --> 00:41:25,510
the trilithon stones lay end to end or
991
00:41:27,450 --> 00:41:28,450
long ways and are part of the narrow
992
00:41:29,670 --> 00:41:30,670
wall on the western end of a complex
993
00:41:31,830 --> 00:41:32,830
they are most certainly not the
994
00:41:33,810 --> 00:41:34,810
foundation nor do they constitute a
995
00:41:36,240 --> 00:41:37,240
platform and it would be very awkward
996
00:41:38,190 --> 00:41:39,190
for a spaceship to land on top of them
997
00:41:40,260 --> 00:41:41,260
considering the space on top is so
998
00:41:42,420 --> 00:41:43,420
narrow ancient aliens tries to make it
999
00:41:44,910 --> 00:41:45,910
seem like no one knows the purpose for
1000
00:41:46,860 --> 00:41:47,860
these stones or why they had to be so
1001
00:41:48,990 --> 00:41:49,990
heavy
1002
00:41:49,570 --> 00:41:50,570
[Music]
1003
00:41:51,430 --> 00:41:52,430
but if the moving hoisting and setting
1004
00:41:53,980 --> 00:41:54,980
of such massive stones was so incredibly
1005
00:41:56,950 --> 00:41:57,950
difficult then who or what place them
1006
00:42:01,390 --> 00:42:02,390
there and perhaps more importantly why
1007
00:42:05,170 --> 00:42:06,170
the truth is that the purpose for this
1008
00:42:07,720 --> 00:42:08,720
wall is very well known by
1009
00:42:09,309 --> 00:42:10,309
archaeologists
1010
00:42:10,420 --> 00:42:11,420
it was a retaining wall retaining wall
1011
00:42:13,329 --> 00:42:14,329
technology really improved with the
1012
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:16,280
Greeks because of the importance of the
1013
00:42:17,470 --> 00:42:18,470
amphitheater in their culture because
1014
00:42:19,660 --> 00:42:20,660
most amphitheaters were sunken into the
1015
00:42:21,250 --> 00:42:22,250
ground and surrounded by earth they
1016
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:23,960
needed to construct retaining walls to
1017
00:42:24,730 --> 00:42:25,730
hold back the soil then the Romans came
1018
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:27,920
along and basically perfected the
1019
00:42:28,510 --> 00:42:29,510
practice the rule of thumb in retaining
1020
00:42:30,849 --> 00:42:31,849
walls even today is the bigger and
1021
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:34,280
heavier the stones the better the
1022
00:42:35,260 --> 00:42:36,260
retaining wall also the stones needed to
1023
00:42:37,569 --> 00:42:38,569
be in as big of sections as possible in
1024
00:42:39,970 --> 00:42:40,970
other words huge sections of uncut stone
1025
00:42:42,849 --> 00:42:43,849
it's no coincidence that some of the
1026
00:42:45,190 --> 00:42:46,190
biggest single stones in the ancient
1027
00:42:47,050 --> 00:42:48,050
world besides Bale BEC are also used in
1028
00:42:50,380 --> 00:42:51,380
retaining walls and by the Romans as
1029
00:42:52,900 --> 00:42:53,900
well as we will see retaining walls were
1030
00:42:55,569 --> 00:42:56,569
especially important if there was a lot
1031
00:42:57,549 --> 00:42:58,549
of soil erosion at the site or if the
1032
00:43:00,220 --> 00:43:01,220
platform you were trying to build was on
1033
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:03,200
a steep incline at Bale back the
1034
00:43:04,569 --> 00:43:05,569
platform was built right on the side of
1035
00:43:06,490 --> 00:43:07,490
a huge hill so for that reason alone it
1036
00:43:08,890 --> 00:43:09,890
would require a retaining wall if they
1037
00:43:10,750 --> 00:43:11,750
intended to make a large level platform
1038
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:13,880
but if you added to that a soil erosion
1039
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:16,640
problem you would have two very good
1040
00:43:17,829 --> 00:43:18,829
reasons for a huge retaining wall at
1041
00:43:20,020 --> 00:43:21,020
Baalbek so does the area around Bale
1042
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:23,480
back have a problem with soil erosion
1043
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:25,160
the answer is yes probably one of the
1044
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:28,280
biggest in the world you can see
1045
00:43:29,140 --> 00:43:30,140
evidence of soil erosion all around the
1046
00:43:30,940 --> 00:43:31,940
Bale back site the soil from the top of
1047
00:43:33,220 --> 00:43:34,220
the hill has been sliding down the hill
1048
00:43:34,869 --> 00:43:35,869
into the valley below for hundreds of
1049
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:38,000
years one of the leading causes of soil
1050
00:43:39,220 --> 00:43:40,220
erosion is deforestation if an area that
1051
00:43:41,950 --> 00:43:42,950
once had trees has been completely
1052
00:43:43,990 --> 00:43:44,990
cleared of those trees the rain no
1053
00:43:45,970 --> 00:43:46,970
longer will have anything to slow down
1054
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:48,440
its velocity normally the rain hits tree
1055
00:43:50,079 --> 00:43:51,079
branches and the thick foliage that
1056
00:43:51,910 --> 00:43:52,910
accumulates on the forest floor over
1057
00:43:53,710 --> 00:43:54,710
time also the soil is kept in check by
1058
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:57,200
the root systems of the trees which hold
1059
00:43:58,119 --> 00:43:59,119
the soil in place Lebanon has a picture
1060
00:44:00,490 --> 00:44:01,490
of a cedar tree on its flag their trees
1061
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:04,040
have been a symbol of pride for
1062
00:44:04,599 --> 00:44:05,599
literally
1063
00:44:05,150 --> 00:44:06,150
millennia the so-called Cedars of
1064
00:44:07,279 --> 00:44:08,279
Lebanon but the forests have disappeared
1065
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:10,680
long ago as they were one of the only
1066
00:44:11,690 --> 00:44:12,690
sites for timber in the ancient Near
1067
00:44:13,700 --> 00:44:14,700
East and it was massively deforested in
1068
00:44:16,190 --> 00:44:17,190
ancient times
1069
00:44:16,970 --> 00:44:17,970
in fact the soil shifting is just as bad
1070
00:44:19,549 --> 00:44:20,549
today in the Bekaa Valley the UN in 2006
1071
00:44:22,819 --> 00:44:23,819
proposed a series of solutions to deal
1072
00:44:25,279 --> 00:44:26,279
with this now
1073
00:44:26,150 --> 00:44:27,150
full-scale environmental disaster in the
1074
00:44:28,279 --> 00:44:29,279
Bale back region homes in the region are
1075
00:44:30,619 --> 00:44:31,619
being abandoned as their foundations
1076
00:44:32,630 --> 00:44:33,630
shift and they become inhabitable but
1077
00:44:35,029 --> 00:44:36,029
although these proposed solutions by the
1078
00:44:36,740 --> 00:44:37,740
UN may be new this problem is an ancient
1079
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:40,200
one one the Romans would have been well
1080
00:44:41,119 --> 00:44:42,119
aware of the massive trilithon stones
1081
00:44:43,609 --> 00:44:44,609
provided the weight needed to press down
1082
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:47,160
and secure the stones in the wall below
1083
00:44:48,170 --> 00:44:49,170
this is why you only see these huge
1084
00:44:50,210 --> 00:44:51,210
stones on one side of belbek the side
1085
00:44:52,789 --> 00:44:53,789
where the steep slope is the idea that
1086
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:55,920
these stones were part of a platform and
1087
00:44:56,779 --> 00:44:57,779
were used as a landing pad is something
1088
00:44:59,270 --> 00:45:00,270
that requires ignorant of the layout of
1089
00:45:01,279 --> 00:45:02,279
the site in order to believe well what
1090
00:45:03,619 --> 00:45:04,619
about the age of this wall is it from
1091
00:45:05,720 --> 00:45:06,720
the Roman period of construction or is
1092
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:08,880
it from the pre-roman Canaanite era
1093
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:10,920
there's a lot of confusion about this
1094
00:45:12,079 --> 00:45:13,079
point because there was indeed a very
1095
00:45:14,180 --> 00:45:15,180
old pre Roman temple on this site the
1096
00:45:17,150 --> 00:45:18,150
pre-roman Canaanite temple was a pretty
1097
00:45:19,579 --> 00:45:20,579
standard platform and altar much like
1098
00:45:22,369 --> 00:45:23,369
other sites built by the Canaanites
1099
00:45:24,079 --> 00:45:25,079
which were referred to in the Old
1100
00:45:25,789 --> 00:45:26,789
Testament as high places the original
1101
00:45:28,789 --> 00:45:29,789
site was probably chosen by the
1102
00:45:30,650 --> 00:45:31,650
Canaanites because it was indeed on a
1103
00:45:33,380 --> 00:45:34,380
hill as any good high place should be
1104
00:45:35,690 --> 00:45:36,690
but also because it was less than half a
1105
00:45:38,450 --> 00:45:39,450
mile from the perfect stone quarry the
1106
00:45:41,029 --> 00:45:42,029
early versions of this temple however
1107
00:45:42,710 --> 00:45:43,710
did not have a retaining wall as the
1108
00:45:45,650 --> 00:45:46,650
different groups added to the site over
1109
00:45:47,420 --> 00:45:48,420
the years the site changed drastically
1110
00:45:49,700 --> 00:45:50,700
the Romans alone spent 200 years doing
1111
00:45:52,730 --> 00:45:53,730
construction at the site think of that
1112
00:45:54,980 --> 00:45:55,980
that would be like starting a
1113
00:45:56,420 --> 00:45:57,420
construction project in 1812 that only
1114
00:45:59,510 --> 00:46:00,510
just now came to completion that's a
1115
00:46:01,700 --> 00:46:02,700
long time to be working on a project so
1116
00:46:03,950 --> 00:46:04,950
yes Baalbek is built on a very old
1117
00:46:06,289 --> 00:46:07,289
Canaanite altar to bail but the
1118
00:46:08,809 --> 00:46:09,809
trilithon stones were not part of that
1119
00:46:10,730 --> 00:46:11,730
site nor are they part of the foundation
1120
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:14,400
as is often claimed they are part of a
1121
00:46:15,589 --> 00:46:16,589
very necessary retaining wall the
1122
00:46:17,660 --> 00:46:18,660
question still remains
1123
00:46:18,890 --> 00:46:19,890
however about the methods for moving and
1124
00:46:21,140 --> 00:46:22,140
lifting these stones some have suggested
1125
00:46:25,460 --> 00:46:26,460
that this stone alone weighs in excess
1126
00:46:29,299 --> 00:46:30,299
of 1,200 tons how was it moved there
1127
00:46:35,690 --> 00:46:36,690
because obviously it's situated on top
1128
00:46:38,900 --> 00:46:39,900
of these stone rows that we can find
1129
00:46:41,750 --> 00:46:42,750
down here which means that this stone
1130
00:46:44,750 --> 00:46:45,750
had to be lifted and then set on top of
1131
00:46:49,279 --> 00:46:50,279
these stones down here so did the Romans
1132
00:46:53,119 --> 00:46:54,119
have the technology to move and lift
1133
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:56,400
such stones well all you have to do is
1134
00:46:58,250 --> 00:46:59,250
look one country over to find out about
1135
00:47:00,529 --> 00:47:01,529
the same time the Romans were beginning
1136
00:47:02,720 --> 00:47:03,720
their 200 year project at bale back
1137
00:47:04,609 --> 00:47:05,609
another project of similar magnitude was
1138
00:47:07,519 --> 00:47:08,519
beginning by the Roman client King Herod
1139
00:47:09,799 --> 00:47:10,799
the Great in 19 BC Herod using Roman
1140
00:47:13,039 --> 00:47:14,039
techniques renovated the Temple Mount to
1141
00:47:15,619 --> 00:47:16,619
earn favor with the Jews who viewed him
1142
00:47:17,779 --> 00:47:18,779
as a Roman proxy not a Jew the expanded
1143
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:21,960
version of the temple was double the
1144
00:47:22,579 --> 00:47:23,579
size of the original but in order to
1145
00:47:25,009 --> 00:47:26,009
make this expansion he had to
1146
00:47:26,750 --> 00:47:27,750
incorporate part of the hill to the
1147
00:47:28,519 --> 00:47:29,519
northeast which meant that he had to
1148
00:47:30,349 --> 00:47:31,349
construct a massive retaining wall in
1149
00:47:32,390 --> 00:47:33,390
order to hold back the force of the
1150
00:47:34,279 --> 00:47:35,279
earth in order to build the massive
1151
00:47:36,109 --> 00:47:37,109
platform there is a portion of this
1152
00:47:38,269 --> 00:47:39,269
retaining wall still standing today and
1153
00:47:40,519 --> 00:47:41,519
it contains the second largest set of
1154
00:47:43,039 --> 00:47:44,039
single stones next to bail back just
1155
00:47:45,529 --> 00:47:46,529
like bail Beck there are several of
1156
00:47:47,180 --> 00:47:48,180
these stones lined up to form the wall
1157
00:47:49,250 --> 00:47:50,250
and to provide the weight and size
1158
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:52,200
needed to hold back the earth they call
1159
00:47:53,569 --> 00:47:54,569
the four largest stones the master
1160
00:47:55,730 --> 00:47:56,730
course the weight of the heaviest one is
1161
00:47:58,250 --> 00:47:59,250
six hundred and thirty tons only a
1162
00:48:00,710 --> 00:48:01,710
little over 100 tons less than bail
1163
00:48:03,019 --> 00:48:04,019
Beck's biggest stone and no one denies
1164
00:48:05,150 --> 00:48:06,150
that these stones were cut moved and
1165
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:08,400
lifted to perfection using Roman and
1166
00:48:09,650 --> 00:48:10,650
local techniques as a side note it's
1167
00:48:12,049 --> 00:48:13,049
tempting to think that the holes visible
1168
00:48:14,119 --> 00:48:15,119
in these stones were used for lifting
1169
00:48:16,130 --> 00:48:17,130
but these holes were cut after the
1170
00:48:18,259 --> 00:48:19,259
stones were placed they were used to
1171
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:21,000
hold plaster in place for certain water
1172
00:48:21,890 --> 00:48:22,890
projects and only go a few inches deep
1173
00:48:23,900 --> 00:48:24,900
anyway is it really logical to believe
1174
00:48:26,210 --> 00:48:27,210
that the Romans could cut move and lift
1175
00:48:28,849 --> 00:48:29,849
six hundred and thirty ton blocks four
1176
00:48:30,980 --> 00:48:31,980
retaining walls just fine
1177
00:48:32,330 --> 00:48:33,330
but if you added another 100 tons it
1178
00:48:34,970 --> 00:48:35,970
would require alien technology we know
1179
00:48:37,580 --> 00:48:38,580
that the Romans about this same time had
1180
00:48:39,890 --> 00:48:40,890
taken a liking to Egyptian obelisks they
1181
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:43,920
started dragging these obelisk back to
1182
00:48:45,050 --> 00:48:46,050
Rome in large numbers and Rome was
1183
00:48:47,630 --> 00:48:48,630
hundreds of miles by land and sea from
1184
00:48:50,060 --> 00:48:51,060
Egypt
1185
00:48:50,660 --> 00:48:51,660
whereas Baalbek was less than a mile
1186
00:48:52,820 --> 00:48:53,820
from the quarry some of these obelisks
1187
00:48:54,860 --> 00:48:55,860
were almost 500 tons so the Romans had a
1188
00:48:57,980 --> 00:48:58,980
lot of opportunities to get good at
1189
00:49:00,170 --> 00:49:01,170
moving stones about the same size and
1190
00:49:02,750 --> 00:49:03,750
shape of the trilithon stones there are
1191
00:49:04,850 --> 00:49:05,850
even roman descriptions of the process
1192
00:49:06,650 --> 00:49:07,650
of moving obelisks by Marcellinus Comus
1193
00:49:09,110 --> 00:49:10,110
as well as release such as the one on
1194
00:49:10,940 --> 00:49:11,940
the bottom of the Theodosius obelisk in
1195
00:49:12,950 --> 00:49:13,950
Istanbul the ancient Roman writings of
1196
00:49:15,350 --> 00:49:16,350
Marcus Vitruvius Polio described in
1197
00:49:18,020 --> 00:49:19,020
detail many of the Roman technological
1198
00:49:20,450 --> 00:49:21,450
advantages like pulleys which would
1199
00:49:22,580 --> 00:49:23,580
reduce the force needed by half for each
1200
00:49:24,620 --> 00:49:25,620
pulley used he even described their
1201
00:49:27,230 --> 00:49:28,230
ingenious way of moving stones by
1202
00:49:29,390 --> 00:49:30,390
constructing huge oak wheels on either
1203
00:49:31,430 --> 00:49:32,430
end of the block whether they were round
1204
00:49:33,530 --> 00:49:34,530
like pillars or huge rectangular stones
1205
00:49:35,870 --> 00:49:36,870
like the trilithon
1206
00:49:36,710 --> 00:49:37,710
they would then be pulled by oxen to the
1207
00:49:39,110 --> 00:49:40,110
site so what about the lifting of the
1208
00:49:41,780 --> 00:49:42,780
trilithon stones at bale back some make
1209
00:49:44,210 --> 00:49:45,210
the point that the trilithon stones do
1210
00:49:46,190 --> 00:49:47,190
not have Lewis holes in them like many
1211
00:49:48,140 --> 00:49:49,140
of the other Roman stones that Bale back
1212
00:49:50,090 --> 00:49:51,090
Lewis holes is the name for the holes
1213
00:49:52,220 --> 00:49:53,220
that the Romans would drill in the
1214
00:49:53,660 --> 00:49:54,660
stones for lifting with their cranes yes
1215
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:57,120
the Romans had cranes and although their
1216
00:49:58,400 --> 00:49:59,400
cranes only had a 5 ton capacity often
1217
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:01,800
they would combine many of them together
1218
00:50:02,720 --> 00:50:03,720
which would obviously give them a
1219
00:50:04,670 --> 00:50:05,670
greater capacity so why don't these
1220
00:50:06,830 --> 00:50:07,830
three stones contain these holes like
1221
00:50:09,110 --> 00:50:10,110
all the rest of the stones that Bale
1222
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:11,520
back well first of all I wouldn't be so
1223
00:50:13,010 --> 00:50:14,010
sure that they don't no one has ever
1224
00:50:14,900 --> 00:50:15,900
seen what is on the ends of these stones
1225
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:17,880
it may very well be that they decided
1226
00:50:19,190 --> 00:50:20,190
against a straight up or dead lift of
1227
00:50:21,710 --> 00:50:22,710
the trilithon stones because of their
1228
00:50:23,270 --> 00:50:24,270
weight and instead decided to lift up
1229
00:50:25,550 --> 00:50:26,550
only one side of the stone you would
1230
00:50:27,410 --> 00:50:28,410
really only need to lift it high enough
1231
00:50:28,940 --> 00:50:29,940
and long enough to get even the smallest
1232
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:32,640
brace underneath it because at that
1233
00:50:33,860 --> 00:50:34,860
point you would have a number of
1234
00:50:34,970 --> 00:50:35,970
mechanical advantages and therefore
1235
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:38,040
options for example watch as this man
1236
00:50:39,590 --> 00:50:40,590
makes a stone hinge in his backyard all
1237
00:50:41,810 --> 00:50:42,810
by himself
1238
00:50:42,710 --> 00:50:43,710
using a simple counterweight method I've
1239
00:50:45,170 --> 00:50:46,170
tried to
1240
00:50:45,710 --> 00:50:46,710
without any mechanical machinery at all
1241
00:50:47,630 --> 00:50:48,630
I've used mostly sticks and stones for
1242
00:50:51,830 --> 00:50:52,830
my equipment
1243
00:50:52,790 --> 00:50:53,790
no pulleys no voice no metal levers just
1244
00:50:57,890 --> 00:50:58,890
try to use gravity to I believe is my
1245
00:51:00,410 --> 00:51:01,410
favorite tool well the first goal is
1246
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:05,040
getting this block three feet off the
1247
00:51:05,990 --> 00:51:06,990
ground in order to move it up at this
1248
00:51:08,300 --> 00:51:09,300
point I just rock the block back and
1249
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:11,040
forth adding weight to that end and that
1250
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:14,160
opens a gap on this side and I just
1251
00:51:15,980 --> 00:51:16,980
slide a board in then I add the weight
1252
00:51:20,240 --> 00:51:21,240
to that and there she goes and slide the
1253
00:51:23,630 --> 00:51:24,630
board in on this end this shoring box
1254
00:51:26,839 --> 00:51:27,839
acts like a jack slowly raising the
1255
00:51:29,570 --> 00:51:30,570
block but it's not really even necessary
1256
00:51:32,630 --> 00:51:33,630
for them to have been lifted a French
1257
00:51:34,910 --> 00:51:35,910
paper written by Jean Pierre Adam
1258
00:51:36,650 --> 00:51:37,650
meticulously details how the stones
1259
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:40,080
could have been moved using the
1260
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:41,520
specifications provided by Marcus
1261
00:51:42,230 --> 00:51:43,230
Vitruvius polio by constructing roads
1262
00:51:44,570 --> 00:51:45,570
underneath the stones on rollers and the
1263
00:51:47,420 --> 00:51:48,420
roads were raised to lead to the exact
1264
00:51:49,130 --> 00:51:50,130
place of their placement which was easy
1265
00:51:50,900 --> 00:51:51,900
at bale back because of the terrain so
1266
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:54,000
it wouldn't require any lifting and then
1267
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:56,520
using manpower drums and a system of cap
1268
00:51:58,070 --> 00:51:59,070
stands to pull the stones along the road
1269
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:01,320
this method would have only required 144
1270
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:04,920
workers to accomplish it's also helpful
1271
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:07,200
for people to remember that the largest
1272
00:52:07,940 --> 00:52:08,940
stone ever moved in the world is a
1273
00:52:10,010 --> 00:52:11,010
so-called thunder stone in Russia moved
1274
00:52:12,740 --> 00:52:13,740
in the 1700s using no modern equipment
1275
00:52:15,890 --> 00:52:16,890
this stone is 1.5 tons larger than the
1276
00:52:20,119 --> 00:52:21,119
largest trilithon stone and we know that
1277
00:52:22,730 --> 00:52:23,730
moving it didn't require any alien
1278
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:25,800
technology well what about this claim
1279
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:28,440
what's really interesting about Baalbek
1280
00:52:29,150 --> 00:52:30,150
is it's always been known as the landing
1281
00:52:31,910 --> 00:52:32,910
place there's an actual text from
1282
00:52:34,130 --> 00:52:35,130
Sumerian Times called the Epic of
1283
00:52:35,720 --> 00:52:36,720
Gilgamesh
1284
00:52:38,260 --> 00:52:39,260
Gilgamesh actually claims to have seen
1285
00:52:40,820 --> 00:52:41,820
Rockets descend and ascend from Baalbek
1286
00:52:44,240 --> 00:52:45,240
the landing place these claims come
1287
00:52:47,210 --> 00:52:48,210
directly from the writings of zecharia
1288
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:49,920
sitchin and they are totally untrue
1289
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:51,960
Baalbek was not called the landing place
1290
00:52:53,420 --> 00:52:54,420
and the Epic of Gilgamesh never speaks
1291
00:52:55,700 --> 00:52:56,700
of rockets ascending and descending
1292
00:52:57,170 --> 00:52:58,170
anywhere in it if you're going to make
1293
00:53:00,350 --> 00:53:01,350
these assertions yeah I would want the
1294
00:53:03,530 --> 00:53:04,530
passage I want to see the passage in
1295
00:53:05,660 --> 00:53:06,660
Gilgamesh that names bail Beck
1296
00:53:07,730 --> 00:53:08,730
specifically I'm naturally skeptical
1297
00:53:10,910 --> 00:53:11,910
that there is such a passage but if
1298
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:14,760
you're going to make this claim you have
1299
00:53:15,590 --> 00:53:16,590
to be able to establish with certainty
1300
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:18,600
not even just a general region you have
1301
00:53:20,750 --> 00:53:21,750
to establish with certainty that these
1302
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:23,880
are the stones or that these stones are
1303
00:53:25,730 --> 00:53:26,730
what is being referred to in any given
1304
00:53:28,460 --> 00:53:29,460
text
1305
00:53:29,090 --> 00:53:30,090
Sitchin when making this claim in his
1306
00:53:30,980 --> 00:53:31,980
book never tells the reader where they
1307
00:53:33,050 --> 00:53:34,050
can find this in the Epic of Gilgamesh
1308
00:53:34,420 --> 00:53:35,420
this is probably because it makes it
1309
00:53:37,010 --> 00:53:38,010
harder for the reader to check his facts
1310
00:53:38,980 --> 00:53:39,980
yeah I have personally found the
1311
00:53:41,900 --> 00:53:42,900
writings of such and very frustrating
1312
00:53:43,850 --> 00:53:44,850
from the perspective of a scholar and an
1313
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:47,160
academic which is what I am it's sort of
1314
00:53:48,650 --> 00:53:49,650
reflexively what I look for it's very
1315
00:53:51,260 --> 00:53:52,260
hard to follow his trail because he just
1316
00:53:55,100 --> 00:53:56,100
doesn't cite sources even if he cites a
1317
00:53:57,980 --> 00:53:58,980
source for instance in ancient texts he
1318
00:54:00,410 --> 00:54:01,410
doesn't give you sort of the chapter and
1319
00:54:02,210 --> 00:54:03,210
verse he doesn't give you the tablet
1320
00:54:03,620 --> 00:54:04,620
numbers the line numbers and I have to
1321
00:54:06,530 --> 00:54:07,530
look at it and say it's either really
1322
00:54:07,940 --> 00:54:08,940
lazy or he doesn't want you to be able
1323
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:11,400
to check up on him it's one of the other
1324
00:54:12,260 --> 00:54:13,260
I will link the actual section of the
1325
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:15,840
epic as well as a link to the online
1326
00:54:16,940 --> 00:54:17,940
resources to check the Sumerian texts
1327
00:54:19,460 --> 00:54:20,460
for yourselves at the website ancient
1328
00:54:21,590 --> 00:54:22,590
aliens debunked comm nowadays all the
1329
00:54:24,140 --> 00:54:25,140
Sumerian tablets including their own
1330
00:54:25,940 --> 00:54:26,940
dictionaries are searchable online yes
1331
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:29,760
the Sumerians wrote their own extensive
1332
00:54:30,860 --> 00:54:31,860
and detailed dictionaries so we don't
1333
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:34,200
have to trust Sitchin or anyone else we
1334
00:54:35,570 --> 00:54:36,570
can basically just ask the Sumerians
1335
00:54:37,550 --> 00:54:38,550
what they thought a word meant and it
1336
00:54:39,380 --> 00:54:40,380
becomes painfully obvious to anyone that
1337
00:54:41,450 --> 00:54:42,450
cares enough to look that Sitchin was at
1338
00:54:44,150 --> 00:54:45,150
best totally incompetent as a translator
1339
00:54:46,670 --> 00:54:47,670
and at worst a scam artist see Sitchin
1340
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:51,120
is wrong
1341
00:54:50,930 --> 00:54:51,930
to begin your journey in losing any
1342
00:54:53,090 --> 00:54:54,090
confidence in the so called translations
1343
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:56,280
of zecharia sitchin in conclusion the
1344
00:54:57,920 --> 00:54:58,920
trilithon stones are part of a necessary
1345
00:55:00,470 --> 00:55:01,470
retaining wall not a foundation and such
1346
00:55:03,380 --> 00:55:04,380
walls were common to the Greeks and
1347
00:55:05,030 --> 00:55:06,030
Romans the retaining wall was not part
1348
00:55:07,610 --> 00:55:08,610
of the simple original much smaller
1349
00:55:10,070 --> 00:55:11,070
temple at bale back and we know from
1350
00:55:12,290 --> 00:55:13,290
other retaining walls of similar size
1351
00:55:14,270 --> 00:55:15,270
built by the Romans at the same time and
1352
00:55:16,940 --> 00:55:17,940
in the same area that they were more
1353
00:55:18,890 --> 00:55:19,890
than capable of moving and placing
1354
00:55:20,810 --> 00:55:21,810
stones of that size and shape also
1355
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:24,480
evidenced by their ability to move
1356
00:55:25,070 --> 00:55:26,070
obelisks this is especially true if you
1357
00:55:27,410 --> 00:55:28,410
gave them over 200 years in which to do
1358
00:55:29,780 --> 00:55:30,780
it
1359
00:55:33,630 --> 00:55:34,630
[Music]
1360
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:39,960
we will look at Incan megalithic sites
1361
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:42,640
like Machu Picchu all in one segment
1362
00:55:43,830 --> 00:55:44,830
because Incan stone masonry was all done
1363
00:55:46,230 --> 00:55:47,230
more or less the same way in regard to
1364
00:55:48,570 --> 00:55:49,570
Incan building ancient aliens focuses
1365
00:55:51,270 --> 00:55:52,270
most of its attention on the curved or
1366
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:54,640
beveled edges of the stones they say
1367
00:55:56,070 --> 00:55:57,070
that it looks like the edges of these
1368
00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:58,480
stones were melted notice as we listen
1369
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:01,000
to them build the case for this that the
1370
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:03,160
reason they believe this is true is
1371
00:56:03,750 --> 00:56:04,750
based entirely on the way the stones
1372
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:07,120
look there are science in many of these
1373
00:56:09,030 --> 00:56:10,030
stones that show very large amounts of
1374
00:56:11,580 --> 00:56:12,580
thermal Heat have been applied to mold
1375
00:56:14,670 --> 00:56:15,670
the stones in such a way that they fit
1376
00:56:16,590 --> 00:56:17,590
perfectly and so it really does raise a
1377
00:56:18,630 --> 00:56:19,630
lot of questions if you look at the
1378
00:56:22,470 --> 00:56:23,470
style the sacsayhuamán wall was built
1379
00:56:24,630 --> 00:56:25,630
the blocks look as if they've been
1380
00:56:27,810 --> 00:56:28,810
molded like putty if you can mold stone
1381
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:32,680
into place then all of a sudden as crazy
1382
00:56:34,980 --> 00:56:35,980
as the sounds it makes more sense now
1383
00:56:38,670 --> 00:56:39,670
melting granite or any other stone and
1384
00:56:41,100 --> 00:56:42,100
reshaping it would leave unmistakable
1385
00:56:44,070 --> 00:56:45,070
evidence in and on the stones themselves
1386
00:56:46,710 --> 00:56:47,710
in other words if the rocks were melted
1387
00:56:49,530 --> 00:56:50,530
it would be easily provable it would not
1388
00:56:52,170 --> 00:56:53,170
be a matter of what the stones look like
1389
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:54,880
it would be a simple yes or no question
1390
00:56:56,730 --> 00:56:57,730
ancient alien skips this step of proving
1391
00:56:59,700 --> 00:57:00,700
or disproving their theory instead they
1392
00:57:01,980 --> 00:57:02,980
assume that the rocks were melted based
1393
00:57:03,660 --> 00:57:04,660
on the look of the stones and move on to
1394
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:06,880
the step of trying to figure out who
1395
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:08,560
would have the technology to melt stones
1396
00:57:09,420 --> 00:57:10,420
I have a stone torch which I use for
1397
00:57:13,050 --> 00:57:14,050
sometimes shaping granite and I mean it
1398
00:57:17,370 --> 00:57:18,370
generates a temperature of in excess of
1399
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:21,760
3,000 degrees
1400
00:57:22,860 --> 00:57:23,860
three thousand two grace that's a lot
1401
00:57:28,980 --> 00:57:29,980
when we look back at the ancients and we
1402
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:33,040
see a technology that they couldn't
1403
00:57:34,470 --> 00:57:35,470
possibly know
1404
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:37,840
there's only two possibilities of that
1405
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:39,880
either God did it which we really don't
1406
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:42,640
think happened or some high tech
1407
00:57:46,770 --> 00:57:47,770
civilization from another planet came
1408
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:49,720
and showed them how to do it then took
1409
00:57:51,300 --> 00:57:52,300
their materials and tools I went back
1410
00:57:53,220 --> 00:57:54,220
home I think there's at least one more
1411
00:57:57,120 --> 00:57:58,120
possibility that mr. Dunn may have
1412
00:57:59,190 --> 00:58:00,190
missed every shaped stone at any ink
1413
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:03,400
inside has what archaeologists call pit
1414
00:58:05,250 --> 00:58:06,250
marks or pit scars they occur when stone
1415
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:09,400
hammers are used to quarry and shape the
1416
00:58:10,710 --> 00:58:11,710
stone
1417
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:12,280
in addition archeologists have found a
1418
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:14,440
huge number of Incan stone hammers at
1419
00:58:15,570 --> 00:58:16,570
the quarries and almost uniquely to the
1420
00:58:18,090 --> 00:58:19,090
Incans they are found at the building
1421
00:58:19,980 --> 00:58:20,980
sites too because the Incans only rough
1422
00:58:22,590 --> 00:58:23,590
cut the stones at the quarries they did
1423
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:25,840
the finish work on site so the stones
1424
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:28,600
would perfectly fit the stones around
1425
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:30,280
them
1426
00:58:29,670 --> 00:58:30,670
well how did the Incans accomplish these
1427
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:33,280
beveled edges they used a smaller gauge
1428
00:58:34,980 --> 00:58:35,980
stone hammer for the outer section the
1429
00:58:37,290 --> 00:58:38,290
evidence for this can be seen on every
1430
00:58:38,940 --> 00:58:39,940
single stone that has these edges you
1431
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:42,520
can see that the pit scars are much more
1432
00:58:43,620 --> 00:58:44,620
numerous and smaller on the edges
1433
00:58:45,780 --> 00:58:46,780
showing that more blows with a smaller
1434
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:49,240
stone was used to achieve the detail
1435
00:58:50,700 --> 00:58:51,700
work another reason that this is no
1436
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:53,920
mystery to archaeologists is because
1437
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:55,960
there are a large number of stones in
1438
00:58:57,060 --> 00:58:58,060
various stages of construction in the
1439
00:58:59,940 --> 00:59:00,940
ancient Incan quarries these stones
1440
00:59:02,340 --> 00:59:03,340
reveal that indeed the Incan stone
1441
00:59:04,500 --> 00:59:05,500
masons were using some of the most basic
1442
00:59:06,510 --> 00:59:07,510
tools even for their time if you would
1443
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:10,360
like to learn more about the details of
1444
00:59:10,830 --> 00:59:11,830
this I'll link you to some peer-reviewed
1445
00:59:12,780 --> 00:59:13,780
papers that can tell you more than you'd
1446
00:59:14,790 --> 00:59:15,790
ever want to know including details of
1447
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:18,400
experiments done for example a single
1448
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:20,920
scientist in 90 minutes accomplished
1449
00:59:22,530 --> 00:59:23,530
similar cuts with similar tools and all
1450
00:59:25,530 --> 00:59:26,530
of this makes what Dunn says here one of
1451
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:29,320
the most off-the-wall things ever said
1452
00:59:30,540 --> 00:59:31,540
in the ancient alien series I can't help
1453
00:59:33,450 --> 00:59:34,450
but think that whoever
1454
00:59:34,810 --> 00:59:35,810
was behind this thought the process
1455
00:59:37,060 --> 00:59:38,060
through from beginning to end
1456
00:59:38,230 --> 00:59:39,230
they didn't quarry the rock and then
1457
00:59:40,090 --> 00:59:41,090
decide how the heck are we going to
1458
00:59:41,500 --> 00:59:42,500
transport this they knew for me getting
1459
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:46,160
to end what needed to be done with
1460
00:59:48,070 --> 00:59:49,070
whatever techniques and technology they
1461
00:59:50,290 --> 00:59:51,290
were going to use in industry today
1462
00:59:52,450 --> 00:59:53,450
there's a kind of an adage keep it
1463
00:59:55,540 --> 00:59:56,540
simple stupid based on his experience
1464
00:59:59,140 --> 01:00:00,140
Mike Dunn believes the simplest way to
1465
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:02,600
build the great walls of Machu Picchu
1466
01:00:03,730 --> 01:00:04,730
would have been to transport small rocks
1467
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:07,280
to the site then melt them and use molds
1468
01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:10,400
to fashion the exact size and shape
1469
01:00:11,110 --> 01:00:12,110
needed so he says it's more simple to
1470
01:00:15,610 --> 01:00:16,610
melt the granite something so
1471
01:00:18,070 --> 01:00:19,070
complicated that we don't really even
1472
01:00:19,810 --> 01:00:20,810
know how to do it today is that really
1473
01:00:22,330 --> 01:00:23,330
the most simple solution he could come
1474
01:00:24,370 --> 01:00:25,370
up with and then to say that they poured
1475
01:00:26,980 --> 01:00:27,980
the melted rocks into a mold I mean look
1476
01:00:30,100 --> 01:00:31,100
at these walls can anyone look at this
1477
01:00:32,410 --> 01:00:33,410
and say yeah that looks like they were
1478
01:00:34,090 --> 01:00:35,090
made from the same mold these are not
1479
01:00:36,130 --> 01:00:37,130
exactly bricks of the same size and
1480
01:00:38,140 --> 01:00:39,140
shape unless he wants to say that they
1481
01:00:40,690 --> 01:00:41,690
made a new mold for every block in which
1482
01:00:43,420 --> 01:00:44,420
case we would go well out of the range
1483
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:46,400
of this being the most simple solution
1484
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:48,560
as far as how the Incans moved the
1485
01:00:49,900 --> 01:00:50,900
stones into place they left us a lot of
1486
01:00:52,060 --> 01:00:53,060
evidence behind in the form of ramps
1487
01:00:53,980 --> 01:00:54,980
there are ink and ramps all over the
1488
01:00:56,170 --> 01:00:57,170
place still in existence today in the
1489
01:00:58,540 --> 01:00:59,540
quarries and at the building sites the
1490
01:01:00,850 --> 01:01:01,850
Incans had one of the most massive
1491
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:03,320
workforces in all the ancient world they
1492
01:01:05,170 --> 01:01:06,170
were like the Roman Empire of the West
1493
01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:08,120
and they had an absolutely huge labor
1494
01:01:09,670 --> 01:01:10,670
force at the ready for these types of
1495
01:01:11,830 --> 01:01:12,830
projects so we know these rocks were not
1496
01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:15,320
melted and put into molds as ancient
1497
01:01:16,330 --> 01:01:17,330
aliens tells us we actually know exactly
1498
01:01:18,940 --> 01:01:19,940
how they made these rounded edges
1499
01:01:20,500 --> 01:01:21,500
because of the pit marks left behind as
1500
01:01:22,690 --> 01:01:23,690
well as the huge number of stone hammers
1501
01:01:25,270 --> 01:01:26,270
found in the quarries there are no
1502
01:01:27,610 --> 01:01:28,610
mysteries that require alien input with
1503
01:01:30,010 --> 01:01:31,010
incan stonework
1504
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:34,000
[Music]
1505
01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:38,840
many people are familiar with these
1506
01:01:39,820 --> 01:01:40,820
images of stone heads called moai by the
1507
01:01:42,310 --> 01:01:43,310
locals ancient aliens tells us that
1508
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:45,800
nothing is really known about them how
1509
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:49,520
in the heck did they make these where
1510
01:01:50,650 --> 01:01:51,650
did they come from and how did they move
1511
01:01:53,590 --> 01:01:54,590
them nobody has the answer this isn't
1512
01:01:57,820 --> 01:01:58,820
true at all for instance we know exactly
1513
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:01,040
how they were cut and shaped because the
1514
01:02:02,590 --> 01:02:03,590
construction of the moai was abandoned
1515
01:02:04,540 --> 01:02:05,540
abruptly so there are plenty of examples
1516
01:02:06,550 --> 01:02:07,550
of moai in various stages of development
1517
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:10,280
also the stone tools that they use to
1518
01:02:11,860 --> 01:02:12,860
pound out the relatively soft volcanic
1519
01:02:13,900 --> 01:02:14,900
rock were found all over the quarries
1520
01:02:16,510 --> 01:02:17,510
here's a clip of one of the locals
1521
01:02:18,490 --> 01:02:19,490
explaining to his grandson how the moai
1522
01:02:20,770 --> 01:02:21,770
were built
1523
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:22,520
he thinks that 20 people carved this my
1524
01:02:24,100 --> 01:02:25,100
over a period of time of five to six
1525
01:02:27,490 --> 01:02:28,490
years to this stage being a medical man
1526
01:02:33,780 --> 01:02:34,780
this is our sections of people who were
1527
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:39,440
you know given as your assignment this
1528
01:02:41,590 --> 01:02:42,590
is your section you can come and you can
1529
01:02:43,330 --> 01:02:44,330
see different you know ways of doing it
1530
01:02:45,970 --> 01:02:46,970
and you can clearly see the talking
1531
01:02:48,580 --> 01:02:49,580
marks and and how the people were
1532
01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:51,560
carving and going in and make this deep
1533
01:02:53,290 --> 01:02:54,290
cuts in the rock like this the channels
1534
01:02:58,570 --> 01:02:59,570
reached around and eventually formed a
1535
01:03:00,610 --> 01:03:01,610
boat like keel until the statue could be
1536
01:03:02,860 --> 01:03:03,860
snapped off and fully extracted
1537
01:03:05,850 --> 01:03:06,850
ancient alien spends most of its time
1538
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:09,320
here discussing the moving of the moai
1539
01:03:10,630 --> 01:03:11,630
and it's interesting the angle that they
1540
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:14,120
take because it seems that they are
1541
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:16,280
aware that there have been many
1542
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:17,960
successful experiments moving moai with
1543
01:03:20,020 --> 01:03:21,020
wooden sleds and minimal workers so
1544
01:03:22,780 --> 01:03:23,780
ancient aliens has to do what they do
1545
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:25,880
best create a false dilemma but there is
1546
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:30,200
a unique problem with the idea of moving
1547
01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:32,720
moai with sleds or rollers
1548
01:03:35,180 --> 01:03:36,180
when you go to Easter Island you don't
1549
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:38,920
get the impression they had enough wood
1550
01:03:39,809 --> 01:03:40,809
to have rollers and in fact in the 1700s
1551
01:03:43,710 --> 01:03:44,710
the first four expeditions to Easter
1552
01:03:46,259 --> 01:03:47,259
Island never really saw a tree and so
1553
01:03:50,579 --> 01:03:51,579
that's the real mystery of Easter Island
1554
01:03:52,259 --> 01:03:53,259
how can you move a multi-ton statue if
1555
01:03:55,890 --> 01:03:56,890
you have no trees for rollers so they
1556
01:03:58,980 --> 01:03:59,980
say there are currently no trees on
1557
01:04:00,869 --> 01:04:01,869
Easter Island
1558
01:04:01,710 --> 01:04:02,710
therefore they assume there were never
1559
01:04:03,630 --> 01:04:04,630
any trees on Easter Island and therefore
1560
01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:06,880
well aliens the problem with this is
1561
01:04:09,150 --> 01:04:10,150
that there used to be a lot of trees on
1562
01:04:10,650 --> 01:04:11,650
Easter Island which we now know because
1563
01:04:12,599 --> 01:04:13,599
of extensive pollen samples taken from
1564
01:04:14,999 --> 01:04:15,999
the crater lakes as well as other
1565
01:04:16,859 --> 01:04:17,859
methods in fact the very reason there
1566
01:04:19,529 --> 01:04:20,529
are no trees on Easter Island now is
1567
01:04:21,569 --> 01:04:22,569
probably because they used all of them
1568
01:04:24,150 --> 01:04:25,150
while moving and lifting over a thousand
1569
01:04:27,119 --> 01:04:28,119
mo lies over hundreds of years in other
1570
01:04:30,029 --> 01:04:31,029
words they used all the trees one
1571
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:33,400
interesting thing about Easter Island is
1572
01:04:34,259 --> 01:04:35,259
regarding soil erosion if you take a
1573
01:04:36,660 --> 01:04:37,660
land that once had a lot of trees and
1574
01:04:38,460 --> 01:04:39,460
cut them all down then you will have a
1575
01:04:40,739 --> 01:04:41,739
massive soil erosion problem this is
1576
01:04:43,619 --> 01:04:44,619
because there would be no more root
1577
01:04:45,089 --> 01:04:46,089
systems to hold the soil in place also
1578
01:04:47,940 --> 01:04:48,940
the rains no longer have anything to
1579
01:04:49,529 --> 01:04:50,529
stop their velocity the soil erosion at
1580
01:04:52,380 --> 01:04:53,380
Easter Island is so notorious that if
1581
01:04:54,749 --> 01:04:55,749
you type soil erosion into a search
1582
01:04:56,670 --> 01:04:57,670
engine you will see that the Wikipedia
1583
01:04:58,710 --> 01:04:59,710
page has a picture of Easter Island some
1584
01:05:01,890 --> 01:05:02,890
of the moai actually have full bodies
1585
01:05:03,569 --> 01:05:04,569
they're not just heads but because of
1586
01:05:05,549 --> 01:05:06,549
soil erosion even in a very short time
1587
01:05:07,980 --> 01:05:08,980
they have been covered up to their necks
1588
01:05:09,809 --> 01:05:10,809
and soil this is a direct result of the
1589
01:05:12,359 --> 01:05:13,359
land being completely deforested so we
1590
01:05:15,089 --> 01:05:16,089
know for sure how these moai were cut
1591
01:05:17,039 --> 01:05:18,039
and shaped that is with simple tools
1592
01:05:19,470 --> 01:05:20,470
which are found all over the quarries
1593
01:05:21,450 --> 01:05:22,450
and we know that if they had trees on
1594
01:05:23,579 --> 01:05:24,579
Easter Island then there are no problems
1595
01:05:25,289 --> 01:05:26,289
with moving them and prying them into
1596
01:05:27,450 --> 01:05:28,450
place and Easter Island used to have a
1597
01:05:29,609 --> 01:05:30,609
lot of trees before their fascination
1598
01:05:32,099 --> 01:05:33,099
with creating moai exhausted their
1599
01:05:34,380 --> 01:05:35,380
supply

01:05:48,340 --> 01:05:49,340
arguably the most remarkable Mayan
1603
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:52,200
artifact ever found the stone
1604
01:05:53,870 --> 01:05:54,870
sarcophagus lid of King Pakal has
1605
01:05:56,510 --> 01:05:57,510
produced considerable controversy
1606
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:00,680
mainstream scholars believe the
1607
01:06:02,090 --> 01:06:03,090
depiction is of King Pakal on a journey
1608
01:06:04,460 --> 01:06:05,460
to the underworld but ancient astronaut
1609
01:06:08,810 --> 01:06:09,810
theorists believe the king is portrayed
1610
01:06:11,660 --> 01:06:12,660
seated at the controls of a spacecraft
1611
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:14,880
and have dubbed him the Palenque
1612
01:06:16,940 --> 01:06:17,940
astronaut he appears to be going into
1613
01:06:22,730 --> 01:06:23,730
space he's the original Rocket Man
1614
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:28,160
they're manipulating his spacecraft
1615
01:06:30,250 --> 01:06:31,250
going into space
1616
01:06:34,329 --> 01:06:35,329
we have maintained for a very long time
1617
01:06:37,959 --> 01:06:38,959
that the depiction here is of King Pakal
1618
01:06:42,269 --> 01:06:43,269
sitting in some type of a spacecraft
1619
01:06:46,199 --> 01:06:47,199
because he is an angle like modern-day
1620
01:06:49,349 --> 01:06:50,349
astronauts upon liftoff he's
1621
01:06:52,089 --> 01:06:53,089
manipulating some controls right here he
1622
01:06:55,989 --> 01:06:56,989
has some type of breathing apparatus or
1623
01:06:58,089 --> 01:06:59,089
some type of a telescope in front of his
1624
01:07:00,039 --> 01:07:01,039
face his feet are on some type of a
1625
01:07:04,390 --> 01:07:05,390
pedal and down here you have something
1626
01:07:09,910 --> 01:07:10,910
that looks like an exhaust with flames
1627
01:07:13,619 --> 01:07:14,619
the sarcophagus lid of pickle has been a
1628
01:07:16,779 --> 01:07:17,779
centerpiece for the ancient astronaut
1629
01:07:18,699 --> 01:07:19,699
theory since the beginning erich von
1630
01:07:20,890 --> 01:07:21,890
Daniken believes this to be one of his
1631
01:07:22,660 --> 01:07:23,660
best pieces of evidence and you see his
1632
01:07:24,729 --> 01:07:25,729
upper hand he's manipulating some
1633
01:07:26,529 --> 01:07:27,529
controls from the lower hand he's
1634
01:07:28,539 --> 01:07:29,539
turning something on the heel of his
1635
01:07:30,910 --> 01:07:31,910
left foot is on a kind of pedal and
1636
01:07:32,979 --> 01:07:33,979
outside of the camp you see a linking
1637
01:07:35,410 --> 01:07:36,410
flam this is incredible this is
1638
01:07:38,319 --> 01:07:39,319
absolutely a proof for extraterrestrials
1639
01:07:40,299 --> 01:07:41,299
the theory rests on the idea that the
1640
01:07:42,489 --> 01:07:43,489
Mayans were not depicting their usual
1641
01:07:44,559 --> 01:07:45,559
symbols here but we're trying to
1642
01:07:46,539 --> 01:07:47,539
realistically depict a rocket with Pacal
1643
01:07:48,910 --> 01:07:49,910
as its pilot I think the best thing I
1644
01:07:51,579 --> 01:07:52,579
can do for you here is to clearly
1645
01:07:53,109 --> 01:07:54,109
explain what the Mayan estándar
1646
01:07:55,420 --> 01:07:56,420
scientists who specialized in Mayan
1647
01:07:57,369 --> 01:07:58,369
culture and artwork believe this scene
1648
01:07:59,709 --> 01:08:00,709
is depicting as ancient alien said
1649
01:08:02,130 --> 01:08:03,130
archaeologists believe this scene is
1650
01:08:03,939 --> 01:08:04,939
depicting the moment of picasa 'the and
1651
01:08:06,099 --> 01:08:07,099
his descent into the underworld let me
1652
01:08:08,769 --> 01:08:09,769
show you why they believe that the most
1653
01:08:11,019 --> 01:08:12,019
famous symbol in this picture is that of
1654
01:08:13,119 --> 01:08:14,119
the world tree which if you believe
1655
01:08:14,949 --> 01:08:15,949
ancient aliens would make up the entire
1656
01:08:17,020 --> 01:08:18,020
whole of the rocket it's hard to
1657
01:08:19,480 --> 01:08:20,480
overemphasize the importance of the
1658
01:08:21,639 --> 01:08:22,639
world tree in Mayan mythology the idea
1659
01:08:24,339 --> 01:08:25,339
was that the world tree extended into
1660
01:08:26,440 --> 01:08:27,440
the heavens with its branches and its
1661
01:08:28,480 --> 01:08:29,480
roots extended into the underworld so it
1662
01:08:31,210 --> 01:08:32,210
was a symbol of the bridge between the
1663
01:08:32,889 --> 01:08:33,889
underworld heaven and earth when it is
1664
01:08:35,440 --> 01:08:36,440
depicted it almost always has the
1665
01:08:37,299 --> 01:08:38,299
double-headed Vision serpent on its
1666
01:08:39,159 --> 01:08:40,159
branches just like it is depicted here
1667
01:08:41,049 --> 01:08:42,049
of the cause lid the vision serpent was
1668
01:08:43,809 --> 01:08:44,809
believed to live at the center of the
1669
01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:46,520
world
1670
01:08:45,940 --> 01:08:46,940
thus it is depicted just above
1671
01:08:48,069 --> 01:08:49,069
the underworld and just below the
1672
01:08:49,839 --> 01:08:50,839
heavens in its top branches is the
1673
01:08:52,239 --> 01:08:53,239
celestial bird which is seen a little
1674
01:08:54,339 --> 01:08:55,339
more clearly in other world tree
1675
01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:56,960
depictions like this one but on the
1676
01:08:58,119 --> 01:08:59,119
calls lid you can see it's clearly
1677
01:08:59,770 --> 01:09:00,770
depicting the same bird
1678
01:09:01,119 --> 01:09:02,119
the celestial bird represented the
1679
01:09:03,099 --> 01:09:04,099
heavens and thus was pictured on top of
1680
01:09:05,500 --> 01:09:06,500
the world tree what ancient alien says
1681
01:09:08,079 --> 01:09:09,079
is the exhaust or fire from the Rockets
1682
01:09:10,480 --> 01:09:11,480
takeoff is the roots of the world tree
1683
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:13,880
extending into the underworld which is
1684
01:09:15,339 --> 01:09:16,339
not just typical for the depictions of
1685
01:09:16,989 --> 01:09:17,989
the world tree it's pretty much a
1686
01:09:18,579 --> 01:09:19,579
requirement in the underworld we see a
1687
01:09:20,889 --> 01:09:21,889
picture of the Mayan Sun monster which
1688
01:09:23,290 --> 01:09:24,290
Pacal is riding into the underworld the
1689
01:09:26,349 --> 01:09:27,349
idea was that every time the Sun set it
1690
01:09:28,540 --> 01:09:29,540
was actually traveling into the
1691
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:31,040
underworld where it would die like
1692
01:09:31,900 --> 01:09:32,900
everything else in the underworld you
1693
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:34,880
can even see the bottom half of the
1694
01:09:35,349 --> 01:09:36,349
Sun's face was a skeleton while the top
1695
01:09:37,569 --> 01:09:38,569
half still had flesh and had not yet
1696
01:09:39,460 --> 01:09:40,460
died this too is a common theme showing
1697
01:09:42,310 --> 01:09:43,310
the moment of transition so Pacal is
1698
01:09:44,889 --> 01:09:45,889
hitching a ride on the Sun into the
1699
01:09:46,599 --> 01:09:47,599
underworld even the so called smoke is
1700
01:09:49,569 --> 01:09:50,569
easily explained when you understand
1701
01:09:51,460 --> 01:09:52,460
Mayan symbols in Mayan art whenever you
1702
01:09:54,130 --> 01:09:55,130
see a so-called traveler which is a
1703
01:09:55,869 --> 01:09:56,869
person in transition from one world to
1704
01:09:58,000 --> 01:09:59,000
the next there must be something that is
1705
01:09:59,920 --> 01:10:00,920
making that travel possible sometimes
1706
01:10:02,020 --> 01:10:03,020
it's a twisted umbilical cord but almost
1707
01:10:05,020 --> 01:10:06,020
always it's a serpent often a
1708
01:10:07,300 --> 01:10:08,300
double-headed serpent in other words
1709
01:10:09,250 --> 01:10:10,250
beam and the mouths of double-headed
1710
01:10:11,230 --> 01:10:12,230
serpents was a symbol of transition from
1711
01:10:13,540 --> 01:10:14,540
one world to the next you can see that
1712
01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:16,520
the so called smoke is actually the
1713
01:10:17,260 --> 01:10:18,260
traditional Serpent's beard which
1714
01:10:19,239 --> 01:10:20,239
appears on almost every depiction of a
1715
01:10:21,340 --> 01:10:22,340
serpent in Mayan art now that you have
1716
01:10:23,710 --> 01:10:24,710
an idea about what the scholars believe
1717
01:10:25,540 --> 01:10:26,540
about this let's look at some of ancient
1718
01:10:27,699 --> 01:10:28,699
aliens specific claims he's manipulating
1719
01:10:30,460 --> 01:10:31,460
some controls right here they say his
1720
01:10:33,940 --> 01:10:34,940
hands are manipulating some controls but
1721
01:10:36,639 --> 01:10:37,639
if you look closely his right hand isn't
1722
01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:39,800
touching anything at all and the thing -
1723
01:10:41,079 --> 01:10:42,079
it's right is not connected to the tree
1724
01:10:43,119 --> 01:10:44,119
any more than any of the other floating
1725
01:10:45,190 --> 01:10:46,190
design elements in the picture his left
1726
01:10:47,829 --> 01:10:48,829
hand could be said to be manipulating
1727
01:10:49,659 --> 01:10:50,659
controls more than his right but you
1728
01:10:51,730 --> 01:10:52,730
would have to say that all these marks
1729
01:10:53,079 --> 01:10:54,079
on the tree are controls - which in
1730
01:10:55,630 --> 01:10:56,630
reality is probably the bark of the
1731
01:10:57,520 --> 01:10:58,520
world tree which was modeled after the
1732
01:10:59,949 --> 01:11:00,949
ceiba tree which had a very
1733
01:11:01,989 --> 01:11:02,989
Niq bark and thus was usually depicted
1734
01:11:04,059 --> 01:11:05,059
in some way or another in world tree art
1735
01:11:06,460 --> 01:11:07,460
the odd position of pickles hands in
1736
01:11:09,249 --> 01:11:10,249
this image is really what all the fuss
1737
01:11:11,079 --> 01:11:12,079
is about
1738
01:11:11,559 --> 01:11:12,559
in the 1970s video refutation of the
1739
01:11:14,469 --> 01:11:15,469
ancient astronaut theory the Mayan
1740
01:11:16,449 --> 01:11:17,449
expert in that film made the point that
1741
01:11:18,579 --> 01:11:19,579
the hands in Mayan art are often
1742
01:11:20,409 --> 01:11:21,409
depicted in delicate positions such
1743
01:11:31,539 --> 01:11:32,539
gestures are common in Mayan art there
1744
01:11:34,059 --> 01:11:35,059
are similar examples on the side of the
1745
01:11:35,769 --> 01:11:36,769
slab as far as the claim about his foot
1746
01:11:40,809 --> 01:11:41,809
being on a type of pedal I would have to
1747
01:11:43,059 --> 01:11:44,059
say that if that is how aliens design
1748
01:11:44,860 --> 01:11:45,860
pedals then we are far more advanced in
1749
01:11:47,650 --> 01:11:48,650
pedal technology than they are because
1750
01:11:49,599 --> 01:11:50,599
that may be the worst angle to put any
1751
01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:52,880
kind of foot pedal plus there are other
1752
01:11:54,639 --> 01:11:55,639
reliefs of Mayans in the underworld on
1753
01:11:57,039 --> 01:11:58,039
similar slabs with their feet in similar
1754
01:11:59,559 --> 01:12:00,559
positions but without the rocket well
1755
01:12:02,139 --> 01:12:03,139
what about this so-called breathing tube
1756
01:12:03,999 --> 01:12:04,999
for his nose well it doesn't connect
1757
01:12:06,610 --> 01:12:07,610
anything and if you look closely the
1758
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:09,800
thing it could potentially connect to is
1759
01:12:10,780 --> 01:12:11,780
also represented on the other side of
1760
01:12:13,059 --> 01:12:14,059
the lid and is clearly a stylistic
1761
01:12:15,219 --> 01:12:16,219
element of the vision serpent
1762
01:12:16,989 --> 01:12:17,989
what it actually is is a nose piercing
1763
01:12:19,739 --> 01:12:20,739
particularly a bone finally consider the
1764
01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:36,800
context that we find this image it's on
1765
01:12:38,230 --> 01:12:39,230
a coffin lid so the mainstream view is
1766
01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:41,960
perfectly in line with that and the
1767
01:12:42,940 --> 01:12:43,940
whole concept was common in Mayan
1768
01:12:44,619 --> 01:12:45,619
burials it would have been a strange
1769
01:12:46,510 --> 01:12:47,510
thing for them to all of a sudden
1770
01:12:48,159 --> 01:12:49,159
abandon their usual symbolic artwork to
1771
01:12:51,070 --> 01:12:52,070
depict a rocket on a coffin lid the fact
1772
01:12:53,590 --> 01:12:54,590
is that the symbols on the sarcophagus
1773
01:12:55,119 --> 01:12:56,119
lid are really consistently used often
1774
01:12:58,389 --> 01:12:59,389
the symbols are even explained in the
1775
01:13:00,099 --> 01:13:01,099
extensive Mayan writings these symbols
1776
01:13:02,499 --> 01:13:03,499
fit perfectly with what we know about
1777
01:13:04,269 --> 01:13:05,269
their beliefs about the world and the
1778
01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:07,400
afterlife
1779
01:13:11,440 --> 01:13:12,440
[Music]
1780
01:13:16,950 --> 01:13:17,950
the Nazca lines of Peru have been an
1781
01:13:19,930 --> 01:13:20,930
important part of the ancient astronaut
1782
01:13:22,090 --> 01:13:23,090
theory since its beginning originally
1783
01:13:24,790 --> 01:13:25,790
von Daniken claimed that the lines were
1784
01:13:26,830 --> 01:13:27,830
kind of UFO runway or a type of alien
1785
01:13:29,440 --> 01:13:30,440
airport where the alien craft landed and
1786
01:13:32,230 --> 01:13:33,230
took off when challenged by Carl Sagan
1787
01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:35,600
and others on this point in an early
1788
01:13:36,610 --> 01:13:37,610
documentary von Daniken kind of
1789
01:13:38,770 --> 01:13:39,770
backtracked on this and said that he
1790
01:13:40,570 --> 01:13:41,570
meant that the lines were created as a
1791
01:13:42,370 --> 01:13:43,370
result of the spacecraft landing I never
1792
01:13:44,890 --> 01:13:45,890
said the needed runways with concrete or
1793
01:13:50,470 --> 01:13:51,470
something like this my idea which I
1794
01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:54,320
developed in my second book and also in
1795
01:13:55,390 --> 01:13:56,390
the book the book was that some bacon is
1796
01:14:00,730 --> 01:14:01,730
coming down not an interstellar
1797
01:14:02,950 --> 01:14:03,950
spaceship simply a small vehicle and
1798
01:14:06,270 --> 01:14:07,270
landing with an effect maybe even of the
1799
01:14:09,300 --> 01:14:10,300
air-cushion system so they don't need
1800
01:14:13,090 --> 01:14:14,090
landing tracts but simply by the landing
1801
01:14:15,970 --> 01:14:16,970
itself some sand stones are blown away
1802
01:14:19,570 --> 01:14:20,570
and you have a simple tract on the
1803
01:14:21,940 --> 01:14:22,940
ground and after maybe a few hours or a
1804
01:14:24,370 --> 01:14:25,370
few days they start again maybe in
1805
01:14:26,740 --> 01:14:27,740
another direction you have a second
1806
01:14:28,390 --> 01:14:29,390
cracked it takes abstract in other words
1807
01:14:31,330 --> 01:14:32,330
he's saying that the spacecraft dragged
1808
01:14:33,370 --> 01:14:34,370
on the surface of the ground as they
1809
01:14:35,110 --> 01:14:36,110
landed and that the lines are there for
1810
01:14:37,540 --> 01:14:38,540
the unintentional result of spacecraft
1811
01:14:39,550 --> 01:14:40,550
landing for the ancient alien series
1812
01:14:42,340 --> 01:14:43,340
however it seems that they are back to
1813
01:14:44,230 --> 01:14:45,230
claiming it was an airport the lines
1814
01:14:46,300 --> 01:14:47,300
look like air strips they start abruptly
1815
01:14:48,940 --> 01:14:49,940
they end abruptly looking at Nazca from
1816
01:14:52,900 --> 01:14:53,900
the air it looks like an airport it
1817
01:14:57,700 --> 01:14:58,700
really does because you have all these
1818
01:15:00,780 --> 01:15:01,780
bands white bands that look like air
1819
01:15:04,600 --> 01:15:05,600
strips that are laid on top of each
1820
01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:07,880
other but you also have these gigantic
1821
01:15:09,160 --> 01:15:10,160
long straight lines that go for miles
1822
01:15:12,610 --> 01:15:13,610
and miles over valleys or the mountains
1823
01:15:15,310 --> 01:15:16,310
either explanation seems to fall short
1824
01:15:17,830 --> 01:15:18,830
of explaining why these lines are
1825
01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:21,080
sometimes several miles long one of them
1826
01:15:22,870 --> 01:15:23,870
being almost 15 miles long it would be a
1827
01:15:25,870 --> 01:15:26,870
pretty inefficient spacecraft if it took
1828
01:15:28,180 --> 01:15:29,180
15 miles for it to take off
1829
01:15:30,190 --> 01:15:31,190
or in the alternate explanation if it
1830
01:15:33,070 --> 01:15:34,070
needed to drag on the ground for 15
1831
01:15:35,290 --> 01:15:36,290
miles before it stopped we will look
1832
01:15:37,480 --> 01:15:38,480
more into this later in the meantime I
1833
01:15:39,850 --> 01:15:40,850
want to look at what I think may be the
1834
01:15:41,739 --> 01:15:42,739
most ridiculous claim of the entire
1835
01:15:44,170 --> 01:15:45,170
ancient alien series at Nazca entire
1836
01:15:47,380 --> 01:15:48,380
mountaintops have been removed I mean
1837
01:15:50,140 --> 01:15:51,140
this all requires machining and I'm not
1838
01:15:54,730 --> 01:15:55,730
talking you know a little wheelbarrow
1839
01:15:57,100 --> 01:15:58,100
and and and in a pic I'm talking
1840
01:16:00,699 --> 01:16:01,699
sophisticated machinery because we today
1841
01:16:04,080 --> 01:16:05,080
would also need sophisticated machinery
1842
01:16:07,449 --> 01:16:08,449
in order to achieve such feats they are
1843
01:16:10,540 --> 01:16:11,540
claiming that this mountain in the Nazca
1844
01:16:12,580 --> 01:16:13,580
region has been artificially sheared off
1845
01:16:14,980 --> 01:16:15,980
but what they're referring to is a
1846
01:16:17,110 --> 01:16:18,110
plateau plateaus and mesas are naturally
1847
01:16:20,680 --> 01:16:21,680
flat on top they occur all over the
1848
01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:24,320
world and geologists know exactly how
1849
01:16:25,750 --> 01:16:26,750
they form in light of that it makes them
1850
01:16:28,120 --> 01:16:29,120
spending so much time on this point kind
1851
01:16:30,489 --> 01:16:31,489
of funny
1852
01:16:31,030 --> 01:16:32,030
they're the mountains tap drums up from
1853
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:34,520
both sides he goes flat this is
1854
01:16:35,830 --> 01:16:36,830
absolutely incredible is this one of the
1855
01:16:38,830 --> 01:16:39,830
most craziest pictures I made about
1856
01:16:40,630 --> 01:16:41,630
Nazca the crazy thing is the rubble the
1857
01:16:45,250 --> 01:16:46,250
remains of that summit or that
1858
01:16:48,070 --> 01:16:49,070
mountaintop gone it's nowhere it's not
1859
01:16:51,699 --> 01:16:52,699
in the valley down below it's nowhere in
1860
01:16:54,130 --> 01:16:55,130
the region what happened to it okay
1861
01:16:57,520 --> 01:16:58,520
moving on to the lines Nazca doesn't
1862
01:17:00,160 --> 01:17:01,160
just have straight lines there are also
1863
01:17:02,260 --> 01:17:03,260
several images of animals such as
1864
01:17:04,300 --> 01:17:05,300
monkeys spiders fish Jaguars llamas
1865
01:17:07,300 --> 01:17:08,300
lizards and dogs
1866
01:17:08,550 --> 01:17:09,550
contrary to what ancient alien says the
1867
01:17:11,440 --> 01:17:12,440
way that they were made is very
1868
01:17:12,550 --> 01:17:13,550
well-known in fact it's ridiculously
1869
01:17:15,520 --> 01:17:16,520
simple they simply moved the
1870
01:17:17,770 --> 01:17:18,770
reddish-brown iron oxide covered pebbles
1871
01:17:20,199 --> 01:17:21,199
that cover the surface of the Nazca
1872
01:17:21,910 --> 01:17:22,910
desert out of the way when the gravel is
1873
01:17:24,699 --> 01:17:25,699
moved the layer underneath is exposed
1874
01:17:26,920 --> 01:17:27,920
which is much lighter and the contrast
1875
01:17:29,620 --> 01:17:30,620
of the two colors creates the Nazca line
1876
01:17:31,900 --> 01:17:32,900
if you were in the Nazca desert you
1877
01:17:34,180 --> 01:17:35,180
could create a Nazca line by running
1878
01:17:36,280 --> 01:17:37,280
your finger over the surface of the
1879
01:17:37,930 --> 01:17:38,930
ground it would probably stay there for
1880
01:17:40,179 --> 01:17:41,179
hundreds of years too because the Nazca
1881
01:17:42,760 --> 01:17:43,760
desert is one of the
1882
01:17:43,900 --> 01:17:44,900
biased places in the world and it almost
1883
01:17:46,270 --> 01:17:47,270
never receives rain if it did the lines
1884
01:17:49,330 --> 01:17:50,330
would have been washed away long ago
1885
01:17:51,130 --> 01:17:52,130
because they are so superficial well if
1886
01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:55,520
these lines aren't an alien airport what
1887
01:17:57,010 --> 01:17:58,010
are they what is known are the basic
1888
01:17:59,290 --> 01:18:00,290
beliefs about religion in the ancient
1889
01:18:00,730 --> 01:18:01,730
Nazca culture likely related to the arid
1890
01:18:04,120 --> 01:18:05,120
and extreme nature of their environment
1891
01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:07,400
Nazca religious beliefs were centered
1892
01:18:08,620 --> 01:18:09,620
around agriculture and fertility much of
1893
01:18:11,380 --> 01:18:12,380
the Nazca art depicts powerful nature
1894
01:18:13,990 --> 01:18:14,990
gods such as the mythical killer whale
1895
01:18:16,150 --> 01:18:17,150
the harvesters and the mythical spotted
1896
01:18:18,700 --> 01:18:19,700
cat etc essentially they worshipped gods
1897
01:18:21,820 --> 01:18:22,820
represented by animals which they
1898
01:18:23,980 --> 01:18:24,980
thought controlled things like water and
1899
01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:26,960
crops I might add that they were super
1900
01:18:28,660 --> 01:18:29,660
serious about this - so serious that
1901
01:18:31,300 --> 01:18:32,300
they decapitated lots and lots of humans
1902
01:18:34,630 --> 01:18:35,630
in order to appease these nature gods I
1903
01:18:37,060 --> 01:18:38,060
think it's fair to say that the Nazca
1904
01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:40,160
people were obsessed with beheadings on
1905
01:18:41,290 --> 01:18:42,290
their pottery it depicts crops growing
1906
01:18:44,020 --> 01:18:45,020
from severed heads and there are other
1907
01:18:45,910 --> 01:18:46,910
things too that showed the connections
1908
01:18:47,500 --> 01:18:48,500
that they believed severed heads had two
1909
01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:50,600
good crops all that to say that these
1910
01:18:52,150 --> 01:18:53,150
people were dead serious about farming
1911
01:18:54,400 --> 01:18:55,400
and if you're serious about farming you
1912
01:18:56,770 --> 01:18:57,770
must also be serious about water and if
1913
01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:00,680
you are farming in the desert then it's
1914
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:02,600
off the charts how serious about water
1915
01:19:03,790 --> 01:19:04,790
you would be I mentioned this because it
1916
01:19:06,160 --> 01:19:07,160
helps to explain what the Nazca lines
1917
01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:08,720
likely are first let's take the
1918
01:19:10,090 --> 01:19:11,090
depictions of animals for the most part
1919
01:19:12,490 --> 01:19:13,490
all of these animals can also be found
1920
01:19:14,500 --> 01:19:15,500
depicted in Nazca pottery they were the
1921
01:19:17,350 --> 01:19:18,350
Nazca gods of water and fertility if you
1922
01:19:20,500 --> 01:19:21,500
asked an ancient Nazca and what they
1923
01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:23,120
believed about the world and how it
1924
01:19:23,620 --> 01:19:24,620
worked they would likely say something
1925
01:19:25,450 --> 01:19:26,450
like we take hallucinogenic drugs we cut
1926
01:19:28,690 --> 01:19:29,690
off a lot of heads all in hopes that the
1927
01:19:31,180 --> 01:19:32,180
monkey spirit will help us have some
1928
01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:34,280
good crops this year that just isn't
1929
01:19:35,530 --> 01:19:36,530
what you would expect to hear if these
1930
01:19:37,630 --> 01:19:38,630
people were smack dab in the middle of a
1931
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:41,000
massive mining operation conducted by
1932
01:19:42,430 --> 01:19:43,430
UFO flying spacemen there should be some
1933
01:19:45,730 --> 01:19:46,730
hint of that in their mythology if it
1934
01:19:48,250 --> 01:19:49,250
were true but if it is true they
1935
01:19:50,890 --> 01:19:51,890
apparently couldn't have cared less
1936
01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:53,120
based on their lack of any indication in
1937
01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:55,880
their belief system moving on to the
1938
01:19:56,980 --> 01:19:57,980
actual
1939
01:19:57,789 --> 01:19:58,789
in order to understand these we need to
1940
01:20:00,070 --> 01:20:01,070
know a few more facts one aspect of the
1941
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:03,800
Nazca and religion was huge pilgrimages
1942
01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:06,320
massive amounts of nazcans would walk to
1943
01:20:07,989 --> 01:20:08,989
certain holy sites throughout their year
1944
01:20:09,909 --> 01:20:10,909
there they would participate in big
1945
01:20:12,039 --> 01:20:13,039
religious events the main place that
1946
01:20:14,110 --> 01:20:15,110
they walked to was a place called
1947
01:20:15,639 --> 01:20:16,639
kihachi very near the Nazca lines for a
1948
01:20:18,909 --> 01:20:19,909
long time archaeologists thought that it
1949
01:20:20,829 --> 01:20:21,829
was the biggest nazcans city ever found
1950
01:20:22,840 --> 01:20:23,840
but slowly they realized that it was
1951
01:20:25,059 --> 01:20:26,059
never a place of permanent residence but
1952
01:20:27,489 --> 01:20:28,489
was only a place for all the pilgrims to
1953
01:20:29,469 --> 01:20:30,469
converge and what they did after they
1954
01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:32,960
all walked there was well do some more
1955
01:20:34,599 --> 01:20:35,599
walking these walks are called
1956
01:20:36,489 --> 01:20:37,489
processions when they are in a religious
1957
01:20:38,710 --> 01:20:39,710
context in the Nazca culture everyone
1958
01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:42,320
got together and walked on these
1959
01:20:43,059 --> 01:20:44,059
specific paths the idea was that by
1960
01:20:45,579 --> 01:20:46,579
getting everyone together and doing
1961
01:20:47,170 --> 01:20:48,170
these rituals they could appease these
1962
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:50,000
water gods and even when the straight
1963
01:20:51,250 --> 01:20:52,250
lines were not directly above
1964
01:20:52,900 --> 01:20:53,900
underground water reservoirs they were
1965
01:20:55,090 --> 01:20:56,090
leading to mountains and other sites
1966
01:20:57,099 --> 01:20:58,099
which were associated with the water
1967
01:20:58,929 --> 01:20:59,929
gods where the people would then worship
1968
01:21:01,030 --> 01:21:02,030
those gods so in conclusion the
1969
01:21:04,030 --> 01:21:05,030
mountains weren't shaved off the idea
1970
01:21:06,429 --> 01:21:07,429
that it was an airport makes no logical
1971
01:21:07,780 --> 01:21:08,780
sense and the symbols and rituals which
1972
01:21:10,449 --> 01:21:11,449
were a huge part of the Nazca culture
1973
01:21:12,159 --> 01:21:13,159
more than explained the so-called Nazca
1974
01:21:14,829 --> 01:21:15,829
lines
1975
01:21:16,270 --> 01:21:17,270
[Music]
1976
01:21:21,130 --> 01:21:22,130
early in the 20th century tomb robbers
1977
01:21:24,159 --> 01:21:25,159
searching along the Magdalena River
1978
01:21:25,920 --> 01:21:26,920
stumbled upon a gravesite dating back
1979
01:21:29,219 --> 01:21:30,219
1500 years to a pre-columbian
1980
01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:33,080
civilization known as the toe Lima among
1981
01:21:36,070 --> 01:21:37,070
the funerary objects found there were
1982
01:21:38,590 --> 01:21:39,590
hundreds of small two to three-inch gold
1983
01:21:40,780 --> 01:21:41,780
figurines many of those looked like
1984
01:21:44,230 --> 01:21:45,230
insects and fish however out of those
1985
01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:49,280
hundreds that they found they also found
1986
01:21:51,489 --> 01:21:52,489
about a dozen that are eerily
1987
01:21:53,860 --> 01:21:54,860
reminiscent of modern-day fighter jets
1988
01:22:00,570 --> 01:22:01,570
okay so he admits that when these things
1989
01:22:03,460 --> 01:22:04,460
were found there were hundreds of them
1990
01:22:05,889 --> 01:22:06,889
that were clearly representing insects
1991
01:22:08,350 --> 01:22:09,350
and animals and only about ten of them
1992
01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:12,080
that looked like jet airplanes now
1993
01:22:13,719 --> 01:22:14,719
before we get into the specifics I would
1994
01:22:15,699 --> 01:22:16,699
like to appeal to your sense of logic
1995
01:22:17,489 --> 01:22:18,489
almost all of these little figurines are
1996
01:22:20,139 --> 01:22:21,139
depicting fish birds insects lizards and
1997
01:22:23,710 --> 01:22:24,710
frogs and we can see when we look at the
1998
01:22:26,409 --> 01:22:27,409
figurines where we know what they're
1999
01:22:27,940 --> 01:22:28,940
trying to depict like these frogs for
2000
01:22:29,980 --> 01:22:30,980
instance we can see a huge amount of
2001
01:22:32,170 --> 01:22:33,170
variation and clearly stylistic elements
2002
01:22:35,110 --> 01:22:36,110
that are not found in nature so we know
2003
01:22:37,719 --> 01:22:38,719
that they weren't trying to be ultra
2004
01:22:39,460 --> 01:22:40,460
realistic here
2005
01:22:40,600 --> 01:22:41,600
which you can further see by looking at
2006
01:22:42,670 --> 01:22:43,670
their depictions of this man or this cat
2007
01:22:45,280 --> 01:22:46,280
or this alligator the tolima were
2008
01:22:48,489 --> 01:22:49,489
artists and like most artists they had a
2009
01:22:51,130 --> 01:22:52,130
certain style that they brought to the
2010
01:22:52,900 --> 01:22:53,900
subjects that they were depicting now
2011
01:22:55,389 --> 01:22:56,389
considering that all the other objects
2012
01:22:57,250 --> 01:22:58,250
they found her animals and considering
2013
01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:00,560
the objects in question like all the
2014
01:23:01,540 --> 01:23:02,540
others have eyes and teeth and so on
2015
01:23:03,850 --> 01:23:04,850
isn't it more logical to assume that
2016
01:23:06,550 --> 01:23:07,550
these objects are probably like all the
2017
01:23:08,889 --> 01:23:09,889
others that is that they are also
2018
01:23:10,870 --> 01:23:11,870
depicting some kind of animal in a
2019
01:23:12,909 --> 01:23:13,909
stylized way ah but wait ancient aliens
2020
01:23:16,270 --> 01:23:17,270
has a false dilemma for us and they have
2021
01:23:18,639 --> 01:23:19,639
nothing in common with any
2022
01:23:22,460 --> 01:23:23,460
similar in nature there is not a single
2023
01:23:26,040 --> 01:23:27,040
insect in the world which has got its
2024
01:23:28,050 --> 01:23:29,050
wings at the bottom now when you exclude
2025
01:23:30,150 --> 01:23:31,150
the possibility that it's an insect one
2026
01:23:32,309 --> 01:23:33,309
of the things which remain is the fact
2027
01:23:34,260 --> 01:23:35,260
that this is actually yes what it looks
2028
01:23:35,909 --> 01:23:36,909
like a plane okay let's see if we have
2029
01:23:39,329 --> 01:23:40,329
this logic straight since no insect has
2030
01:23:42,540 --> 01:23:43,540
these characteristics it leaves us with
2031
01:23:44,790 --> 01:23:45,790
only one other choice which is an
2032
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:47,920
airplane but I thought there were fish
2033
01:23:49,590 --> 01:23:50,590
birds lizards bats and cats found to in
2034
01:23:53,010 --> 01:23:54,010
the other 100 figurines it would seem to
2035
01:23:56,159 --> 01:23:57,159
me that he's kind of skipping a few
2036
01:23:58,020 --> 01:23:59,020
options here on his way to the airplane
2037
01:24:00,329 --> 01:24:01,329
conclusion let's take the most famous
2038
01:24:02,520 --> 01:24:03,520
one for example this is the one that we
2039
01:24:04,710 --> 01:24:05,710
will see later that they made a model
2040
01:24:06,179 --> 01:24:07,179
airplane out of the tails of all these
2041
01:24:08,579 --> 01:24:09,579
figurines are vertical which would make
2042
01:24:10,889 --> 01:24:11,889
me think of fish which also have
2043
01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:13,840
vertical tails one fish that the Tolima
2044
01:24:15,719 --> 01:24:16,719
would have been familiar with is the
2045
01:24:17,099 --> 01:24:18,099
sucker mouth catfish this might explain
2046
01:24:19,619 --> 01:24:20,619
the round head and the big eyes and even
2047
01:24:22,110 --> 01:24:23,110
the small protrusions on the front of
2048
01:24:23,909 --> 01:24:24,909
the fins you can see that some varieties
2049
01:24:26,099 --> 01:24:27,099
of this species of catfish have small
2050
01:24:28,349 --> 01:24:29,349
protrusions on the front of its fins as
2051
01:24:30,389 --> 01:24:31,389
well when you look at the other gold
2052
01:24:32,400 --> 01:24:33,400
figurines you can see that not only were
2053
01:24:34,590 --> 01:24:35,590
fish a common subject but many different
2054
01:24:37,170 --> 01:24:38,170
species of fish were represented because
2055
01:24:39,210 --> 01:24:40,210
of the number and placement of the fins
2056
01:24:41,369 --> 01:24:42,369
fish are proposed for some of the other
2057
01:24:43,590 --> 01:24:44,590
figurines as well so when he says that
2058
01:24:45,659 --> 01:24:46,659
no insect has its wings on the bottom so
2059
01:24:48,570 --> 01:24:49,570
it must be an airplane I can only see
2060
01:24:51,090 --> 01:24:52,090
that as deceptive considering the
2061
01:24:53,159 --> 01:24:54,159
placement and angle of the fins are
2062
01:24:55,170 --> 01:24:56,170
perfectly accounted for in many fish
2063
01:24:57,719 --> 01:24:58,719
species that were available and
2064
01:24:59,639 --> 01:25:00,639
important to the Tolima culture in other
2065
01:25:02,250 --> 01:25:03,250
words airplanes don't have a monopoly on
2066
01:25:04,440 --> 01:25:05,440
being aerodynamic to prove one of these
2067
01:25:07,409 --> 01:25:08,409
figurines was aerodynamic which
2068
01:25:09,420 --> 01:25:10,420
according to ancient aliens proves it
2069
01:25:11,550 --> 01:25:12,550
was a plane they built a model of it
2070
01:25:14,010 --> 01:25:15,010
here is what they say about it
2071
01:25:16,630 --> 01:25:17,630
it was rather simple because we don't
2072
01:25:20,119 --> 01:25:21,119
need to put much parts to this shape
2073
01:25:24,080 --> 01:25:25,080
because this shape is perfect everything
2074
01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:28,080
was already done by the native people
2075
01:25:30,580 --> 01:25:31,580
2000 years ago they did not add an inch
2076
01:25:35,570 --> 01:25:36,570
or remove an inch they just essentially
2077
01:25:37,880 --> 01:25:38,880
blew the little thing into a larger size
2078
01:25:40,190 --> 01:25:41,190
I mean this is sensational no they
2079
01:25:43,639 --> 01:25:44,639
didn't add an inch or remove an inch
2080
01:25:45,380 --> 01:25:46,380
unless you count things like totally
2081
01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:49,320
removing the big curls on the front of
2082
01:25:50,570 --> 01:25:51,570
the wings which would have rendered the
2083
01:25:52,699 --> 01:25:53,699
model totally useless for flying they
2084
01:25:55,159 --> 01:25:56,159
also added curvature to the wings they
2085
01:25:57,440 --> 01:25:58,440
added flaps a landing gear and one more
2086
01:26:00,409 --> 01:26:01,409
little thing a propeller and an engine
2087
01:26:02,770 --> 01:26:03,770
finally I want to appeal to your sense
2088
01:26:04,969 --> 01:26:05,969
of logic on the following point consider
2089
01:26:08,239 --> 01:26:09,239
that all we know about this culture
2090
01:26:09,800 --> 01:26:10,800
reveals them to be simple farmers
2091
01:26:12,050 --> 01:26:13,050
fishermen and artisans people that lived
2092
01:26:15,260 --> 01:26:16,260
off the land and considering that there
2093
01:26:17,810 --> 01:26:18,810
is nothing in the extensive amount of
2094
01:26:19,790 --> 01:26:20,790
archaeological material from this
2095
01:26:21,500 --> 01:26:22,500
culture that would suggest knowledge
2096
01:26:23,360 --> 01:26:24,360
about planes landing and taking off all
2097
01:26:25,310 --> 01:26:26,310
the time is it logical to assume that
2098
01:26:27,670 --> 01:26:28,670
aliens landing and taking off in their
2099
01:26:30,260 --> 01:26:31,260
backyards made so little impression on
2100
01:26:32,960 --> 01:26:33,960
them that they only devote ten of the
2101
01:26:35,420 --> 01:26:36,420
hundreds of figurines to it and only in
2102
01:26:37,880 --> 01:26:38,880
one tomb or is it more logical to assume
2103
01:26:40,940 --> 01:26:41,940
that just like the other hundreds of
2104
01:26:43,340 --> 01:26:44,340
figurines with eyes and teeth and fins
2105
01:26:45,320 --> 01:26:46,320
that they are highly stylized animals
2106
01:26:47,929 --> 01:26:48,929
like fish that they knew about and
2107
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:51,000
relied upon in their daily lives I think
2108
01:26:53,239 --> 01:26:54,239
even a die-hard ancient astronaut
2109
01:26:55,369 --> 01:26:56,369
theorist would have to admit that logic
2110
01:26:57,650 --> 01:26:58,650
is not on their side
2111
01:26:58,730 --> 01:26:59,730
on this one
2112
01:27:01,920 --> 01:27:02,920
[Music]
2113
01:27:07,560 --> 01:27:08,560
are these carvings on a wall at the
2114
01:27:10,450 --> 01:27:11,450
Dendera temple complex in Egypt to some
2115
01:27:14,500 --> 01:27:15,500
the strange designs look eerily similar
2116
01:27:17,440 --> 01:27:18,440
to objects very much in use today being
2117
01:27:21,490 --> 01:27:22,490
Egypt there is this underground crypt at
2118
01:27:24,760 --> 01:27:25,760
Dendera that was always secret and only
2119
01:27:28,660 --> 01:27:29,660
the high priests had access to that
2120
01:27:31,540 --> 01:27:32,540
crypt and it's very hot in there very
2121
01:27:34,300 --> 01:27:35,300
narrow low ceiling and on the walls you
2122
01:27:37,840 --> 01:27:38,840
have these reliefs of what looks like
2123
01:27:41,850 --> 01:27:42,850
ancient lightbulbs because we have to
2124
01:27:46,380 --> 01:27:47,380
question one thing how did the ancient
2125
01:27:49,990 --> 01:27:50,990
Egyptians light the inside of their
2126
01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:53,840
tombs the Egyptian lightbulb theory
2127
01:27:58,630 --> 01:27:59,630
let's see what we can figure out about
2128
01:28:00,430 --> 01:28:01,430
it let's start by listening to some of
2129
01:28:02,500 --> 01:28:03,500
the reasons that ancient astronaut
2130
01:28:04,180 --> 01:28:05,180
theorists believe it's true according to
2131
01:28:06,820 --> 01:28:07,820
most mainstream archaeologists torches
2132
01:28:09,730 --> 01:28:10,730
were used by the ancient Egyptians to
2133
01:28:11,830 --> 01:28:12,830
light the pitch-black chambers of tombs
2134
01:28:13,660 --> 01:28:14,660
and temples yet nowhere on the ceilings
2135
01:28:17,020 --> 01:28:18,020
is there even the slightest evidence of
2136
01:28:19,330 --> 01:28:20,330
soot or smoke residue
2137
01:28:22,090 --> 01:28:23,090
it's hard to know why they're saying
2138
01:28:24,260 --> 01:28:25,260
this because there is black soot in
2139
01:28:26,750 --> 01:28:27,750
almost every Egyptian temple and tomb in
2140
01:28:29,630 --> 01:28:30,630
fact a recent ceiling cleaning conducted
2141
01:28:32,660 --> 01:28:33,660
at the temple of hathor which is the
2142
01:28:34,670 --> 01:28:35,670
same temple where the so called light
2143
01:28:36,380 --> 01:28:37,380
bulb relief is found they uncovered a
2144
01:28:39,200 --> 01:28:40,200
brightly colored ancient ceiling
2145
01:28:41,210 --> 01:28:42,210
painting that had never before been
2146
01:28:42,920 --> 01:28:43,920
noticed what was covering it up you
2147
01:28:45,170 --> 01:28:46,170
asked I will quote them directly they
2148
01:28:47,660 --> 01:28:48,660
said that the ceiling was covered with
2149
01:28:49,190 --> 01:28:50,190
quote hundreds of years of black soot
2150
01:28:51,800 --> 01:28:52,800
that's kind of funny you have to admit
2151
01:28:54,040 --> 01:28:55,040
also there isn't enough oxygen inside
2152
01:28:59,360 --> 01:29:00,360
those tombs with which to support or
2153
01:29:02,030 --> 01:29:03,030
feed a flame of a torch I was once
2154
01:29:06,290 --> 01:29:07,290
inside the King's Chamber inside the
2155
01:29:09,470 --> 01:29:10,470
Pyramid of Giza and somebody turned off
2156
01:29:12,440 --> 01:29:13,440
the lights and immediately we were in
2157
01:29:15,260 --> 01:29:16,260
pitch darkness and I said no problem
2158
01:29:17,420 --> 01:29:18,420
I'll just take out my lighter from my
2159
01:29:19,550 --> 01:29:20,550
satchel and I turn on the lighter and it
2160
01:29:22,490 --> 01:29:23,490
didn't work I don't know about his
2161
01:29:24,890 --> 01:29:25,890
specific Zippo but there are plenty of
2162
01:29:27,200 --> 01:29:28,200
documented explorations of the pyramid
2163
01:29:29,630 --> 01:29:30,630
and other tombs in the early part of the
2164
01:29:31,730 --> 01:29:32,730
20th century which use torches to light
2165
01:29:34,160 --> 01:29:35,160
the pyramids archaeologists and pyramid
2166
01:29:36,770 --> 01:29:37,770
expert Jon Romer was once asked a
2167
01:29:39,170 --> 01:29:40,170
similar question by someone on a
2168
01:29:40,610 --> 01:29:41,610
television show this was his response
2169
01:29:42,580 --> 01:29:43,580
quote as for the suit there is soot in
2170
01:29:46,070 --> 01:29:47,070
the Great Pyramid from the 19th century
2171
01:29:47,900 --> 01:29:48,900
travelers but most of it has been washed
2172
01:29:50,450 --> 01:29:51,450
off most of the pyramids of course were
2173
01:29:52,880 --> 01:29:53,880
built in sunlight so lighting the
2174
01:29:55,490 --> 01:29:56,490
interior would only have been a problem
2175
01:29:57,320 --> 01:29:58,320
after the roof went on they would have
2176
01:29:59,780 --> 01:30:00,780
used lamps with salt in the oil so the
2177
01:30:02,330 --> 01:30:03,330
flame burns very pure end quote
2178
01:30:04,520 --> 01:30:05,520
Romer isn't just guessing about the
2179
01:30:06,860 --> 01:30:07,860
olive oil lamps these lamps were
2180
01:30:08,990 --> 01:30:09,990
depicted in Egyptian reliefs and there
2181
01:30:11,180 --> 01:30:12,180
are even receipts for orders of their
2182
01:30:12,860 --> 01:30:13,860
wicks and other such evidence another
2183
01:30:15,410 --> 01:30:16,410
thing to consider is that as far as
2184
01:30:17,180 --> 01:30:18,180
tombs go they weren't expected to be lit
2185
01:30:20,060 --> 01:30:21,060
in fact if all went well robbers would
2186
01:30:23,240 --> 01:30:24,240
not be able to find a way in and the
2187
01:30:25,310 --> 01:30:26,310
tomb would never see the light of day
2188
01:30:26,960 --> 01:30:27,960
ever again that was the plan and if it
2189
01:30:30,020 --> 01:30:31,020
weren't for 19th century explorers and
2190
01:30:31,940 --> 01:30:32,940
dynamite that plan might have worked too
2191
01:30:33,980 --> 01:30:34,980
but when we're talking about
2192
01:30:35,690 --> 01:30:36,690
temples like at dandera the false
2193
01:30:37,820 --> 01:30:38,820
dilemma of not enough oxygen simply
2194
01:30:39,860 --> 01:30:40,860
doesn't work the temple is much more
2195
01:30:41,900 --> 01:30:42,900
open the oxygen levels are plentiful
2196
01:30:44,449 --> 01:30:45,449
they obviously used fire divided if for
2197
01:30:47,150 --> 01:30:48,150
no other reason than because of the
2198
01:30:48,500 --> 01:30:49,500
hundreds of years of black soot on the
2199
01:30:50,239 --> 01:30:51,239
ceiling okay so the false dilemmas have
2200
01:30:52,670 --> 01:30:53,670
been addressed but we're still left to
2201
01:30:54,469 --> 01:30:55,469
explain what this relief is depicting
2202
01:30:56,690 --> 01:30:57,690
let's first hear what ancient aliens has
2203
01:30:58,940 --> 01:30:59,940
to say about the mainstream
2204
01:31:00,199 --> 01:31:01,199
interpretations of this relief
2205
01:31:02,680 --> 01:31:03,680
Egyptologists explanation of this and
2206
01:31:05,690 --> 01:31:06,690
have to have some explanation there's
2207
01:31:07,699 --> 01:31:08,699
got to be one and has to be pretty
2208
01:31:09,739 --> 01:31:10,739
mundane it can't be that it's an
2209
01:31:11,390 --> 01:31:12,390
electrical device their explanation is
2210
01:31:13,699 --> 01:31:14,699
that it is a lotus flower and what
2211
01:31:19,219 --> 01:31:20,219
appears to be a bulb around is the aroma
2212
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:24,000
of the lotus flower and so it's just a
2213
01:31:26,300 --> 01:31:27,300
very odd depiction of a flower that is a
2214
01:31:29,780 --> 01:31:30,780
terrible representation of the
2215
01:31:31,430 --> 01:31:32,430
mainstream view of this relief it's
2216
01:31:33,710 --> 01:31:34,710
ancient aliens using a straw man
2217
01:31:35,780 --> 01:31:36,780
argument to make their argument look
2218
01:31:37,670 --> 01:31:38,670
superior this relief is not so mystical
2219
01:31:40,219 --> 01:31:41,219
if you have a little understanding of
2220
01:31:42,020 --> 01:31:43,020
Egyptian art and religious symbols this
2221
01:31:44,360 --> 01:31:45,360
is a variant depiction of the creation
2222
01:31:46,850 --> 01:31:47,850
of the world in Egyptian mythology the
2223
01:31:49,790 --> 01:31:50,790
Egyptians believed that before anything
2224
01:31:51,710 --> 01:31:52,710
else existed there was a vast primordial
2225
01:31:54,199 --> 01:31:55,199
sea of nothingness they believed that
2226
01:31:57,020 --> 01:31:58,020
the first thing to emerge from the sea
2227
01:31:58,610 --> 01:31:59,610
was a lotus flower this is probably
2228
01:32:01,430 --> 01:32:02,430
because the Lotus closes at night and
2229
01:32:03,739 --> 01:32:04,739
sinks under water in the morning it
2230
01:32:06,160 --> 01:32:07,160
really again it was believed that the
2231
01:32:09,020 --> 01:32:10,020
lotus flower then gave birth to the
2232
01:32:11,120 --> 01:32:12,120
first God who was often associated with
2233
01:32:13,670 --> 01:32:14,670
the Sun this relief was done after the
2234
01:32:16,250 --> 01:32:17,250
God a tomb was merged with the Sun God
2235
01:32:18,830 --> 01:32:19,830
raw and thus became a tomb ray a tomb
2236
01:32:21,620 --> 01:32:22,620
the God who created everything else
2237
01:32:23,420 --> 01:32:24,420
after this point is actually represented
2238
01:32:26,030 --> 01:32:27,030
by a snake and yes it is a snake in
2239
01:32:28,850 --> 01:32:29,850
these reliefs not light bulb filaments
2240
01:32:30,949 --> 01:32:31,949
you can actually see the eyes and other
2241
01:32:33,380 --> 01:32:34,380
elements of a snake if you look closely
2242
01:32:35,150 --> 01:32:36,150
this is pretty standard Egyptian
2243
01:32:37,400 --> 01:32:38,400
mythology that the lotus flower came
2244
01:32:39,500 --> 01:32:40,500
forth first and then the first God a
2245
01:32:41,750 --> 01:32:42,750
tomb who is represented by a snake well
2246
01:32:44,660 --> 01:32:45,660
what about this bubble surrounding it I
2247
01:32:46,670 --> 01:32:47,670
will quote an expert directly on this
2248
01:32:49,040 --> 01:32:50,040
point
2249
01:32:49,490 --> 01:32:50,490
quote despite the variety of deities the
2250
01:32:52,160 --> 01:32:53,160
Egyptians conceived the origin of the
2251
01:32:54,170 --> 01:32:55,170
world as singular only one God a tomb
2252
01:32:57,140 --> 01:32:58,140
was responsible for the emergence of the
2253
01:32:59,090 --> 01:33:00,090
universe as a bubble of air in the vast
2254
01:33:01,940 --> 01:33:02,940
limitless inert ocean and everlasting
2255
01:33:04,760 --> 01:33:05,760
darkness of the undifferentiated
2256
01:33:06,710 --> 01:33:07,710
primordial waters none that existed
2257
01:33:09,770 --> 01:33:10,770
before creation in other words the
2258
01:33:11,780 --> 01:33:12,780
universe came forth from the Lotus in a
2259
01:33:14,510 --> 01:33:15,510
bubble of air the other elements of this
2260
01:33:17,270 --> 01:33:18,270
picture backed this interpretation up
2261
01:33:18,980 --> 01:33:19,980
the universal bubble is here being
2262
01:33:21,020 --> 01:33:22,020
supported or raised up by the goddess
2263
01:33:23,090 --> 01:33:24,090
nun nun is the primordial waters and
2264
01:33:26,060 --> 01:33:27,060
technically it is she that raises up the
2265
01:33:28,130 --> 01:33:29,130
Lotus a tomb and everything else this
2266
01:33:31,220 --> 01:33:32,220
pose of outstretched hands is one of the
2267
01:33:33,830 --> 01:33:34,830
more common motifs for nun and she
2268
01:33:35,450 --> 01:33:36,450
raises and supports the universe from
2269
01:33:37,880 --> 01:33:38,880
nothingness in some versions of the
2270
01:33:40,310 --> 01:33:41,310
story the Sun God represented in these
2271
01:33:42,560 --> 01:33:43,560
scenes is Caffrey who is represented as
2272
01:33:45,050 --> 01:33:46,050
a scarab beetle a tomb and Caffrey sort
2273
01:33:47,420 --> 01:33:48,420
of traded off being aspects of raw and
2274
01:33:49,610 --> 01:33:50,610
Egyptian mythology
2275
01:33:50,540 --> 01:33:51,540
so in essence in more common versions of
2276
01:33:53,240 --> 01:33:54,240
the scene you have none the primordial
2277
01:33:55,310 --> 01:33:56,310
waters lifting up the solar barge of raw
2278
01:33:58,070 --> 01:33:59,070
for its first journey across the sky and
2279
01:34:00,650 --> 01:34:01,650
this explains why the exact same poses
2280
01:34:02,990 --> 01:34:03,990
are seen in this creation scene at
2281
01:34:05,030 --> 01:34:06,030
dandera they are also depicting nun
2282
01:34:07,340 --> 01:34:08,340
raising up the universe out of her
2283
01:34:09,350 --> 01:34:10,350
waters this idea is very very common you
2284
01:34:12,620 --> 01:34:13,620
can see other images of raw emerging
2285
01:34:14,870 --> 01:34:15,870
from the primordial Lotus as well the
2286
01:34:17,420 --> 01:34:18,420
idea that the ancient Egyptians used
2287
01:34:19,040 --> 01:34:20,040
electricity is something that is not
2288
01:34:21,170 --> 01:34:22,170
even hinted at anywhere in the Egyptian
2289
01:34:23,270 --> 01:34:24,270
records and if you believe ancient
2290
01:34:24,860 --> 01:34:25,860
aliens they were not just using
2291
01:34:26,480 --> 01:34:27,480
electricity but vacuum tubes which
2292
01:34:29,030 --> 01:34:30,030
requires high amounts of electricity as
2293
01:34:30,860 --> 01:34:31,860
well as rarified gases like argon and if
2294
01:34:33,620 --> 01:34:34,620
this was the case we should expect to
2295
01:34:35,360 --> 01:34:36,360
find some mention of this somewhere ah
2296
01:34:37,730 --> 01:34:38,730
but ancient aliens has an answer for why
2297
01:34:40,250 --> 01:34:41,250
we do not but if the ancient Egyptians
2298
01:34:43,310 --> 01:34:44,310
had used some kind of electric light to
2299
01:34:45,830 --> 01:34:46,830
illuminate their passageways why does
2300
01:34:47,990 --> 01:34:48,990
the visual evidence exist only in the
2301
01:34:50,420 --> 01:34:51,420
temple at Dendera in Egypt you had
2302
01:34:52,970 --> 01:34:53,970
different areas of specialty and dandera
2303
01:34:57,470 --> 01:34:58,470
was the area where
2304
01:35:01,130 --> 01:35:02,130
the knowledge of the light giving source
2305
01:35:04,670 --> 01:35:05,670
was kept and this secret knowledge was
2306
01:35:08,750 --> 01:35:09,750
kept by the high priests and they're the
2307
01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:13,080
only ones who were privy to this type of
2308
01:35:15,290 --> 01:35:16,290
information because dandera
2309
01:35:18,170 --> 01:35:19,170
was the special place where this
2310
01:35:22,550 --> 01:35:23,550
specific knowledge was guarded and kept
2311
01:35:26,500 --> 01:35:27,500
right
2312
01:35:27,710 --> 01:35:28,710
of course there's nothing in any text or
2313
01:35:30,350 --> 01:35:31,350
on any wall that would back up anything
2314
01:35:32,540 --> 01:35:33,540
that he just said he even makes up this
2315
01:35:34,970 --> 01:35:35,970
phrase keepers of the light giving
2316
01:35:36,800 --> 01:35:37,800
source or whatever just to make it sound
2317
01:35:38,570 --> 01:35:39,570
official again it's interesting that the
2318
01:35:40,970 --> 01:35:41,970
temple where the knowledge of this light
2319
01:35:42,770 --> 01:35:43,770
was kept is the same one with the
2320
01:35:44,930 --> 01:35:45,930
hundreds of years of soot on the ceiling
2321
01:35:46,820 --> 01:35:47,820
maybe they were trying to save on their
2322
01:35:48,830 --> 01:35:49,830
electric bill in conclusion all the
2323
01:35:51,560 --> 01:35:52,560
reasons that ancient alien says
2324
01:35:53,180 --> 01:35:54,180
lightbulbs existed in ancient Egypt such
2325
01:35:55,850 --> 01:35:56,850
as no suit and the tombs and not enough
2326
01:35:57,920 --> 01:35:58,920
oxygen are easily dismissed as false
2327
01:36:00,170 --> 01:36:01,170
dilemmas and the so-called light bulb
2328
01:36:02,330 --> 01:36:03,330
pictures are easily explained using
2329
01:36:04,490 --> 01:36:05,490
standard Egyptian symbolism
2330
01:36:08,380 --> 01:36:09,380
[Music]
2331
01:36:13,769 --> 01:36:14,769
all throughout the Middle Ages there are
2332
01:36:16,989 --> 01:36:17,989
some magnificent paintings and in
2333
01:36:22,239 --> 01:36:23,239
certain areas of the painting there are
2334
01:36:25,359 --> 01:36:26,359
what looks like to be UFOs
2335
01:36:29,730 --> 01:36:30,730
they're always floating up in the sky
2336
01:36:32,030 --> 01:36:33,030
usually above the Virgin Mary or above
2337
01:36:35,700 --> 01:36:36,700
Jesus on the crucifix or somewhere we
2338
01:36:39,180 --> 01:36:40,180
have sceneries that depict what looks
2339
01:36:44,040 --> 01:36:45,040
like UFOs
2340
01:36:47,240 --> 01:36:48,240
almost all supposed UFO and art cases
2341
01:36:50,280 --> 01:36:51,280
come from medieval art and there's a
2342
01:36:52,350 --> 01:36:53,350
pretty good reason for that most people
2343
01:36:54,510 --> 01:36:55,510
are not aware of the symbolism rules of
2344
01:36:56,520 --> 01:36:57,520
Byzantine or medieval art and so they're
2345
01:36:59,370 --> 01:37:00,370
easy prey for ancient astronaut theory
2346
01:37:01,530 --> 01:37:02,530
is about it this theory concerning
2347
01:37:03,300 --> 01:37:04,300
Byzantine art could never work on
2348
01:37:05,640 --> 01:37:06,640
someone who studies this type of art
2349
01:37:07,290 --> 01:37:08,290
professionally let me show you why first
2350
01:37:09,990 --> 01:37:10,990
let's take one that ancient aliens
2351
01:37:11,730 --> 01:37:12,730
showed in the background a few times in
2352
01:37:13,560 --> 01:37:14,560
that last clip it's a very famous UFO
2353
01:37:16,110 --> 01:37:17,110
and art painting and it usually is
2354
01:37:18,450 --> 01:37:19,450
presented using a very poor quality
2355
01:37:20,130 --> 01:37:21,130
image so you can't see the details very
2356
01:37:22,590 --> 01:37:23,590
well if you look closely you can see
2357
01:37:25,380 --> 01:37:26,380
these objects have distinct faces they
2358
01:37:28,020 --> 01:37:29,020
are actually representing the Sun and
2359
01:37:29,940 --> 01:37:30,940
the moon and you would think that
2360
01:37:31,560 --> 01:37:32,560
someone being honest about this would
2361
01:37:33,570 --> 01:37:34,570
fill you in that they appear in almost
2362
01:37:35,790 --> 01:37:36,790
every painting of a crucifixion done in
2363
01:37:38,280 --> 01:37:39,280
the Byzantine style the Sun and the moon
2364
01:37:40,590 --> 01:37:41,590
were consistently depicted with human
2365
01:37:42,960 --> 01:37:43,960
characteristics sometimes they had just
2366
01:37:45,360 --> 01:37:46,360
faces other times they had full bodies
2367
01:37:47,460 --> 01:37:48,460
the concept of representing the Sun and
2368
01:37:50,100 --> 01:37:51,100
the moon with human characteristics was
2369
01:37:52,350 --> 01:37:53,350
a carryover from the pagan artwork of
2370
01:37:54,150 --> 01:37:55,150
Rome the Roman Catholic Church simply
2371
01:37:56,580 --> 01:37:57,580
continued the tradition of representing
2372
01:37:58,740 --> 01:37:59,740
the Sun and the moon with human
2373
01:38:00,360 --> 01:38:01,360
characteristics in the artwork that it
2374
01:38:02,670 --> 01:38:03,670
had commissioned the Sun and the moon
2375
01:38:04,680 --> 01:38:05,680
are usually facing the cross which is
2376
01:38:06,900 --> 01:38:07,900
supposed to represent them being
2377
01:38:08,400 --> 01:38:09,400
witnesses to the crucifixion the sheer
2378
01:38:10,980 --> 01:38:11,980
number of Byzantine crucifixion scenes
2379
01:38:13,260 --> 01:38:14,260
where these objects are depicted in such
2380
01:38:15,600 --> 01:38:16,600
a way that is obviously supposed to be
2381
01:38:17,790 --> 01:38:18,790
the Sun in the moon should be enough to
2382
01:38:19,860 --> 01:38:20,860
put this one to rest for good ancient
2383
01:38:22,320 --> 01:38:23,320
aliens goes on for a while about the
2384
01:38:24,120 --> 01:38:25,120
14th century fresco at the viscosity
2385
01:38:26,640 --> 01:38:27,640
decani monastery in Kosovo this one has
2386
01:38:29,430 --> 01:38:30,430
been a big favorite of the ancient
2387
01:38:30,960 --> 01:38:31,960
astronaut theorists since it first
2388
01:38:32,700 --> 01:38:33,700
appeared in a French magazine called
2389
01:38:34,410 --> 01:38:35,410
Sputnik in the 1960s this crucifixion
2390
01:38:37,560 --> 01:38:38,560
scene is just like all the others we
2391
01:38:39,090 --> 01:38:40,090
have seen except it has a more full-body
2392
01:38:41,280 --> 01:38:42,280
representation of the Sun and the moon
2393
01:38:43,140 --> 01:38:44,140
there are just as many examples of the
2394
01:38:45,120 --> 01:38:46,120
Sun and the moon being depicted in this
2395
01:38:47,070 --> 01:38:48,070
way with full bodies in other Byzantine
2396
01:38:50,040 --> 01:38:51,040
crucifixion scenes including in other
2397
01:38:52,530 --> 01:38:53,530
places in this same monastery ancient
2398
01:38:55,470 --> 01:38:56,470
aliens also shows this famous painting
2399
01:38:57,900 --> 01:38:58,900
well famous to ancient astronaut
2400
01:38:59,670 --> 01:39:00,670
theorists anyway this one is like all
2401
01:39:01,650 --> 01:39:02,650
the others in that once you know what
2402
01:39:03,420 --> 01:39:04,420
you're looking at you will see so many
2403
01:39:05,370 --> 01:39:06,370
other examples of it in medieval art
2404
01:39:07,260 --> 01:39:08,260
this one is called Madonna with child
2405
01:39:09,990 --> 01:39:10,990
with the infant Saint John and to start
2406
01:39:12,570 --> 01:39:13,570
out I want to draw your attention just
2407
01:39:14,070 --> 01:39:15,070
below to the right of the object where
2408
01:39:16,290 --> 01:39:17,290
you'll see a character holding his hand
2409
01:39:18,120 --> 01:39:19,120
to his eyes and looking toward the sky
2410
01:39:20,070 --> 01:39:21,070
with him as a dog that is also looking
2411
01:39:22,470 --> 01:39:23,470
towards the sky the painting was
2412
01:39:24,330 --> 01:39:25,330
supposed to be depicting this passage in
2413
01:39:26,040 --> 01:39:27,040
the Bible and there were in the same
2414
01:39:27,960 --> 01:39:28,960
country shepherds abiding in the field
2415
01:39:29,910 --> 01:39:30,910
keeping watch over their flock by night
2416
01:39:31,950 --> 01:39:32,950
and lo an angel of the Lord come upon
2417
01:39:34,470 --> 01:39:35,470
them and the glory of the Lord shone
2418
01:39:36,390 --> 01:39:37,390
round about them and they were sore
2419
01:39:38,040 --> 01:39:39,040
afraid and the angel said to them fear
2420
01:39:40,380 --> 01:39:41,380
ye not for behold I bring you good
2421
01:39:42,210 --> 01:39:43,210
tidings of great joy which shall be to
2422
01:39:44,310 --> 01:39:45,310
all people for unto you Is Born This Day
2423
01:39:46,590 --> 01:39:47,590
in the City of David a savior which is
2424
01:39:48,810 --> 01:39:49,810
Christ the Lord
2425
01:39:49,830 --> 01:39:50,830
so the shepherds and the glory of the
2426
01:39:52,110 --> 01:39:53,110
Lord shining round about them are all in
2427
01:39:54,540 --> 01:39:55,540
the context of the announcement of
2428
01:39:56,190 --> 01:39:57,190
Jesus's birth from the Gospel of Luke
2429
01:39:57,810 --> 01:39:58,810
what really demystifies this is to show
2430
01:40:00,780 --> 01:40:01,780
other paintings from the era depicting
2431
01:40:03,060 --> 01:40:04,060
the same scene slowly you will see what
2432
01:40:05,760 --> 01:40:06,760
the so called UFO is supposed to be
2433
01:40:08,270 --> 01:40:09,270
first of all you will notice that all of
2434
01:40:10,650 --> 01:40:11,650
these paintings have the same shepherd
2435
01:40:12,690 --> 01:40:13,690
usually with a dog and usually with
2436
01:40:15,120 --> 01:40:16,120
their hands to their eyes usually an
2437
01:40:17,400 --> 01:40:18,400
angel comes out of the cloud lined with
2438
01:40:19,230 --> 01:40:20,230
light in older pictures the cloud in the
2439
01:40:21,690 --> 01:40:22,690
scene would have had golden rays
2440
01:40:23,270 --> 01:40:24,270
sometimes an angel is coming out of a
2441
01:40:25,800 --> 01:40:26,800
big tear in the sky other times like
2442
01:40:28,440 --> 01:40:29,440
this one of a similar style only the
2443
01:40:30,720 --> 01:40:31,720
tear in the sky is visible not the angel
2444
01:40:33,240 --> 01:40:34,240
in almost an identical Tondo we see the
2445
01:40:36,270 --> 01:40:37,270
shepherd looking toward a red dressed
2446
01:40:38,040 --> 01:40:39,040
angel and in the center above the
2447
01:40:40,260 --> 01:40:41,260
Madonna's head there is the same light
2448
01:40:42,330 --> 01:40:43,330
raid cloud here's the same scene
2449
01:40:45,030 --> 01:40:46,030
painted by the artists brother-in-law
2450
01:40:46,740 --> 01:40:47,740
with a bright star appearing inside a
2451
01:40:48,840 --> 01:40:49,840
cloud on a hill to the right the angel
2452
01:40:51,390 --> 01:40:52,390
appears to the shepherds
2453
01:40:52,650 --> 01:40:53,650
here is another Shepherd scene we see
2454
01:40:55,170 --> 01:40:56,170
the angel and the luminous cloud
2455
01:40:57,270 --> 01:40:58,270
sometimes the angels would be depicted
2456
01:40:59,490 --> 01:41:00,490
in the cloud like this
2457
01:41:00,870 --> 01:41:01,870
so the madonna with child with the
2458
01:41:03,360 --> 01:41:04,360
infant Saint John can safely be
2459
01:41:05,100 --> 01:41:06,100
identified with the announcement seen in
2460
01:41:07,350 --> 01:41:08,350
the Gospel of Luke and all the elements
2461
01:41:09,630 --> 01:41:10,630
in the painting are well known by
2462
01:41:11,040 --> 01:41:12,040
students of medieval art the most famous
2463
01:41:13,770 --> 01:41:14,770
painting that result any doubt in my
2464
01:41:15,810 --> 01:41:16,810
mind depict a UFO with its laser beam
2465
01:41:20,600 --> 01:41:21,600
was made by Crivelli in 1486 the
2466
01:41:27,470 --> 01:41:28,470
Annunciation to Mary in medieval art in
2467
01:41:33,690 --> 01:41:34,690
the Annunciation when Mary is told that
2468
01:41:39,600 --> 01:41:40,600
she will have a child but she will still
2469
01:41:41,970 --> 01:41:42,970
be a virgin and the angels tell her this
2470
01:41:44,370 --> 01:41:45,370
over Mary's head is a space capsule but
2471
01:41:52,710 --> 01:41:53,710
what's a UFO or a space capsule doing
2472
01:41:55,500 --> 01:41:56,500
over Mary this isn't a space capsule if
2473
01:41:59,010 --> 01:42:00,010
you look closely you will see that it is
2474
01:42:01,050 --> 01:42:02,050
formed by a circle of clouds inside of
2475
01:42:03,630 --> 01:42:04,630
which there are two circles of small
2476
01:42:05,580 --> 01:42:06,580
angels this is a very common way of
2477
01:42:08,070 --> 01:42:09,070
representing God visible in a huge
2478
01:42:10,620 --> 01:42:11,620
number of paintings Gustave doré a in
2479
01:42:13,200 --> 01:42:14,200
the middle of the 1800s even resumed
2480
01:42:15,600 --> 01:42:16,600
this pattern of the circles of angels in
2481
01:42:17,640 --> 01:42:18,640
his illustration titled Dante's paradise
2482
01:42:20,150 --> 01:42:21,150
the so-called laser beam is present in a
2483
01:42:23,220 --> 01:42:24,220
lot of paintings of this scene and is
2484
01:42:25,350 --> 01:42:26,350
used to show the impregnation of Mary by
2485
01:42:27,390 --> 01:42:28,390
the Holy Spirit often represented by a
2486
01:42:29,760 --> 01:42:30,760
dove which is present in this painting
2487
01:42:32,400 --> 01:42:33,400
as well if you look closely
2488
01:42:34,020 --> 01:42:35,020
but this laser beam loses its value for
2489
01:42:37,500 --> 01:42:38,500
the ancient astronaut theorists the more
2490
01:42:39,750 --> 01:42:40,750
one sees of other paintings of this
2491
01:42:41,760 --> 01:42:42,760
biblical scene because it becomes
2492
01:42:43,830 --> 01:42:44,830
obvious that they weren't trying to
2493
01:42:45,480 --> 01:42:46,480
depict a space capsule at all but rather
2494
01:42:47,880 --> 01:42:48,880
the circle of angels motif the last one
2495
01:42:51,360 --> 01:42:52,360
ancient aliens mentions is this one one
2496
01:42:55,140 --> 01:42:56,140
very interesting painting is where Jesus
2497
01:42:58,580 --> 01:42:59,580
sits up in the clouds with quote unquote
2498
01:43:01,560 --> 01:43:02,560
God and they're holding on to the
2499
01:43:04,990 --> 01:43:05,990
antennae of what looks like Sputnik and
2500
01:43:07,900 --> 01:43:08,900
theologians say what is depicted here is
2501
01:43:11,890 --> 01:43:12,890
nothing else but the earth
2502
01:43:15,920 --> 01:43:16,920
but why would earth have two antennae is
2503
01:43:19,219 --> 01:43:20,219
sticking out of it and why would it be
2504
01:43:22,460 --> 01:43:23,460
round because the mainstream viewpoint
2505
01:43:24,380 --> 01:43:25,380
at the time was that the earth was flat
2506
01:43:28,780 --> 01:43:29,780
this is similar to all the others we
2507
01:43:31,250 --> 01:43:32,250
have looked at in that there are lots of
2508
01:43:33,230 --> 01:43:34,230
other pictures of this biblical scene
2509
01:43:35,239 --> 01:43:36,239
that help to give us context the scene
2510
01:43:38,150 --> 01:43:39,150
usually contains the Father the Son and
2511
01:43:40,429 --> 01:43:41,429
the Holy Spirit
2512
01:43:41,390 --> 01:43:42,390
usually symbolized as a dove and they're
2513
01:43:43,730 --> 01:43:44,730
holding what is sometimes called the
2514
01:43:45,260 --> 01:43:46,260
creation globe the idea that they're
2515
01:43:47,570 --> 01:43:48,570
trying to convey is the biblical concept
2516
01:43:49,730 --> 01:43:50,730
that the creation of the world is
2517
01:43:51,770 --> 01:43:52,770
attributed to the Father Son and Holy
2518
01:43:53,750 --> 01:43:54,750
Spirit this creation globe becomes a
2519
01:43:56,810 --> 01:43:57,810
very common symbol in medieval art and
2520
01:43:59,150 --> 01:44:00,150
the only reason ancient alien says it
2521
01:44:01,790 --> 01:44:02,790
can't represent a globe is that
2522
01:44:03,739 --> 01:44:04,739
according to them people at that time in
2523
01:44:05,870 --> 01:44:06,870
history thought the earth was flat
2524
01:44:07,160 --> 01:44:08,160
although this idea about people in the
2525
01:44:09,980 --> 01:44:10,980
Middle Ages believing that the earth was
2526
01:44:11,810 --> 01:44:12,810
flat is widely believed nowadays it's
2527
01:44:14,330 --> 01:44:15,330
little better than an urban legend if
2528
01:44:16,280 --> 01:44:17,280
you type in the myth of the Flat Earth
2529
01:44:18,199 --> 01:44:19,199
into a search engine you'll see that the
2530
01:44:20,570 --> 01:44:21,570
truth is that almost every scientist
2531
01:44:22,550 --> 01:44:23,550
since the ancient Greeks knew the earth
2532
01:44:24,650 --> 01:44:25,650
was spherical here are a few quotes
2533
01:44:26,780 --> 01:44:27,780
about this historian Jeffrey Burton
2534
01:44:28,969 --> 01:44:29,969
Russell says the Flat Earth error
2535
01:44:30,800 --> 01:44:31,800
flourished most between 1870 and 1920 he
2536
01:44:34,699 --> 01:44:35,699
said quote with extraordinarily few
2537
01:44:37,010 --> 01:44:38,010
exceptions no educated person in the
2538
01:44:39,590 --> 01:44:40,590
history of Western civilization from the
2539
01:44:42,140 --> 01:44:43,140
3rd century BC onward believed that the
2540
01:44:44,750 --> 01:44:45,750
earth was flat he continues quote the
2541
01:44:47,570 --> 01:44:48,570
myth that people in the Middle Ages
2542
01:44:49,100 --> 01:44:50,100
thought that the earth was flat appears
2543
01:44:51,199 --> 01:44:52,199
to date from the 17th century as part of
2544
01:44:53,810 --> 01:44:54,810
the campaign by Protestants against
2545
01:44:55,699 --> 01:44:56,699
Catholic teaching but it gained currency
2546
01:44:58,190 --> 01:44:59,190
in the 19th century thanks to inaccurate
2547
01:45:00,949 --> 01:45:01,949
histories such as John William Draper's
2548
01:45:03,110 --> 01:45:04,110
history of the conflict between religion
2549
01:45:05,150 --> 01:45:06,150
and science and Andrew Dixon White's
2550
01:45:07,130 --> 01:45:08,130
history of the warfare of science with
2551
01:45:09,110 --> 01:45:10,110
theology in Christendom atheist and
2552
01:45:11,570 --> 01:45:12,570
agnostics championed the conflict thesis
2553
01:45:14,179 --> 01:45:15,179
for their own purposes but historical
2554
01:45:16,850 --> 01:45:17,850
research gradually demonstrated that
2555
01:45:18,500 --> 01:45:19,500
Draper and white had propagated more
2556
01:45:20,390 --> 01:45:21,390
fantasy than fact in their efforts to
2557
01:45:22,760 --> 01:45:23,760
prove that science and religion are
2558
01:45:24,320 --> 01:45:25,320
locked in eternal conflict one funny
2559
01:45:26,660 --> 01:45:27,660
thing about this is that su Kalos in
2560
01:45:28,429 --> 01:45:29,429
another episode of ancient
2561
01:45:29,719 --> 01:45:30,719
millions in order to suit his purposes
2562
01:45:31,909 --> 01:45:32,909
there admits the idea of around Earth
2563
01:45:34,519 --> 01:45:35,519
was even in the Bible Moses actually
2564
01:45:38,239 --> 01:45:39,239
describes earth seen from outer space
2565
01:45:42,369 --> 01:45:43,369
the quote is thereupon I saw the whole
2566
01:45:46,880 --> 01:45:47,880
round of the earth at once the depths of
2567
01:45:49,820 --> 01:45:50,820
the earth and the vast altitudes of the
2568
01:45:52,880 --> 01:45:53,880
heavens I mean here he describes earth
2569
01:45:56,329 --> 01:45:57,329
as being around so there is no problem
2570
01:46:00,170 --> 01:46:01,170
whatsoever with the medieval artists
2571
01:46:02,360 --> 01:46:03,360
knowing that the earth was round and
2572
01:46:04,010 --> 01:46:05,010
therefore there's no reason to say that
2573
01:46:06,110 --> 01:46:07,110
these symbols aren't representing
2574
01:46:08,210 --> 01:46:09,210
exactly what the artists have always
2575
01:46:10,249 --> 01:46:11,249
said that they represent almost all UFO
2576
01:46:13,249 --> 01:46:14,249
and art theories come from the Middle
2577
01:46:14,749 --> 01:46:15,749
Ages and they all fail when they are
2578
01:46:16,849 --> 01:46:17,849
compared with other paintings of the
2579
01:46:18,800 --> 01:46:19,800
same scene because one can then see that
2580
01:46:21,650 --> 01:46:22,650
these were consistent motifs in that
2581
01:46:23,780 --> 01:46:24,780
style of art and were used to describe
2582
01:46:26,269 --> 01:46:27,269
certain theological concepts which when
2583
01:46:29,210 --> 01:46:30,210
explained in light of the concept that
2584
01:46:31,519 --> 01:46:32,519
it's obviously trying to convey it
2585
01:46:33,800 --> 01:46:34,800
totally demystifies the objects in
2586
01:46:36,349 --> 01:46:37,349
question
2587

[Music]
2588
01:46:47,860 --> 01:46:48,860
Belize Central America in 1924 british
2589
01:46:53,929 --> 01:46:54,929
adventurer frederick mitchell-hedges
2590
01:46:55,849 --> 01:46:56,849
traveled here with his daughter anna to
2591
01:46:58,909 --> 01:46:59,909
explore the ruins of the ancient mayan
2592
01:47:00,889 --> 01:47:01,889
city of lubaantun
2593
01:47:02,650 --> 01:47:03,650
one afternoon Anna climbed to the top of
2594
01:47:06,170 --> 01:47:07,170
a crumbling pyramid hoping to see the
2595
01:47:08,599 --> 01:47:09,599
ocean it was high noon and she was at
2596
01:47:11,479 --> 01:47:12,479
the top and the way the Sun came in the
2597
01:47:13,699 --> 01:47:14,699
way the rocks had moved on that there
2598
01:47:15,650 --> 01:47:16,650
was just a small opening and the light
2599
01:47:17,630 --> 01:47:18,630
from the Sun went through and they could
2600
01:47:19,219 --> 01:47:20,219
hit the top of the skull and she ran
2601
01:47:21,889 --> 01:47:22,889
down she's all excited she said there's
2602
01:47:24,019 --> 01:47:25,019
someone in there with a flashlight
2603
01:47:25,659 --> 01:47:26,659
Anna's father and others in their party
2604
01:47:27,979 --> 01:47:28,979
were too large to fit inside the small
2605
01:47:30,829 --> 01:47:31,829
opening of the pyramid so they tied a
2606
01:47:33,650 --> 01:47:34,650
rope around Anna and lowered her into
2607
01:47:35,929 --> 01:47:36,929
the hole when she came back up Anna held
2608
01:47:40,099 --> 01:47:41,099
the top of a strange crystal skull a
2609
01:47:43,090 --> 01:47:44,090
second search uncovered a matching job
2610
01:47:46,389 --> 01:47:47,389
as you might have suspected nothing you
2611
01:47:49,340 --> 01:47:50,340
just heard is true the real story about
2612
01:47:52,070 --> 01:47:53,070
the mitchell-hedges skull is quite
2613
01:47:54,170 --> 01:47:55,170
different it's worth mentioning that the
2614
01:47:56,360 --> 01:47:57,360
reason that ancient aliens focuses in on
2615
01:47:58,579 --> 01:47:59,579
the mitchell-hedges skull is because all
2616
01:48:00,709 --> 01:48:01,709
of the other known crystal skulls have
2617
01:48:02,749 --> 01:48:03,749
now been proven to be fakes and even
2618
01:48:05,269 --> 01:48:06,269
ancient aliens admits this scientific
2619
01:48:08,059 --> 01:48:09,059
tests have determined that the two owned
2620
01:48:10,489 --> 01:48:11,489
by the British Museum and the Kate
2621
01:48:12,530 --> 01:48:13,530
Branly were not authentic pre-columbian
2622
01:48:15,189 --> 01:48:16,189
artifacts the mitchell-hedges skull was
2623
01:48:18,409 --> 01:48:19,409
the last hope for a real one and the
2624
01:48:20,840 --> 01:48:21,840
only reason it was the last hope was
2625
01:48:22,579 --> 01:48:23,579
because the daughter of mitchell-hedges
2626
01:48:24,289 --> 01:48:25,289
while she was still alive
2627
01:48:26,209 --> 01:48:27,209
refused to have an official study done
2628
01:48:28,519 --> 01:48:29,519
to see if it was fake or not rather than
2629
01:48:31,309 --> 01:48:32,309
that she toured around with it in New
2630
01:48:33,349 --> 01:48:34,349
Age conventions and the like until she
2631
01:48:35,510 --> 01:48:36,510
recently died her widower however in
2632
01:48:38,209 --> 01:48:39,209
2007 took it to the Smithsonian Museum
2633
01:48:40,999 --> 01:48:41,999
for Natural History where extensive
2634
01:48:43,610 --> 01:48:44,610
testing was done on it it was found to
2635
01:48:45,829 --> 01:48:46,829
be a fake just like the others I'm not
2636
01:48:48,530 --> 01:48:49,530
sure if ancient aliens produced this
2637
01:48:50,119 --> 01:48:51,119
episode before or after 2007 but I
2638
01:48:52,969 --> 01:48:53,969
suspect that they wouldn't have cared
2639
01:48:54,530 --> 01:48:55,530
much either way the real history of the
2640
01:48:57,019 --> 01:48:58,019
Mitchell
2641
01:48:57,350 --> 01:48:58,350
Hedges school starts with another
2642
01:48:59,210 --> 01:49:00,210
crystal skull that was in the British
2643
01:49:01,190 --> 01:49:02,190
Museum which the forger of the
2644
01:49:03,110 --> 01:49:04,110
mitchell-hedges skull copied it from the
2645
01:49:05,510 --> 01:49:06,510
British Museum acquired a crystal skull
2646
01:49:07,490 --> 01:49:08,490
in 1898 at a time right after tools were
2647
01:49:11,270 --> 01:49:12,270
first invented that made it possible to
2648
01:49:13,460 --> 01:49:14,460
carve crystal skulls like these we now
2649
01:49:16,220 --> 01:49:17,220
know it was also a time when a lot of
2650
01:49:18,500 --> 01:49:19,500
fake crystal artifacts were sold to
2651
01:49:20,750 --> 01:49:21,750
museums the British Museum skull which
2652
01:49:23,360 --> 01:49:24,360
has its own dubious history was later
2653
01:49:25,760 --> 01:49:26,760
found to be fake too but in the 1930s it
2654
01:49:28,940 --> 01:49:29,940
was still believed to be genuine and it
2655
01:49:30,950 --> 01:49:31,950
was proudly displayed in the museum
2656
01:49:32,810 --> 01:49:33,810
based on research done on the
2657
01:49:34,910 --> 01:49:35,910
mitchell-hedges skull by the Smithsonian
2658
01:49:36,890 --> 01:49:37,890
Museum it was concluded that the forger
2659
01:49:39,380 --> 01:49:40,380
of the mitchell-hedges skull copied the
2660
01:49:41,690 --> 01:49:42,690
one in the British Museum in order to
2661
01:49:44,030 --> 01:49:45,030
make his work seem more authentic the
2662
01:49:46,640 --> 01:49:47,640
mitchell-hedges skull was first owned by
2663
01:49:48,530 --> 01:49:49,530
a man named Sidney Burnie who we have
2664
01:49:51,020 --> 01:49:52,020
records of trying to sell it to various
2665
01:49:52,820 --> 01:49:53,820
people unsuccessfully for ten years
2666
01:49:55,220 --> 01:49:56,220
before this he finally sold it to a
2667
01:49:57,500 --> 01:49:58,500
member of the general public at a South
2668
01:49:59,960 --> 01:50:00,960
Beach Inn in London in 1943 that member
2669
01:50:04,160 --> 01:50:05,160
of the general public was Frederick
2670
01:50:06,020 --> 01:50:07,020
mitchell-hedges we actually have the
2671
01:50:08,450 --> 01:50:09,450
letter that mitchell-hedges wrote to his
2672
01:50:10,070 --> 01:50:11,070
brother directly after purchasing the
2673
01:50:12,350 --> 01:50:13,350
skull at the auction in which he
2674
01:50:14,210 --> 01:50:15,210
expresses his excitement about his new
2675
01:50:16,070 --> 01:50:17,070
purchase this will be important later
2676
01:50:18,190 --> 01:50:19,190
five years later though in a local paper
2677
01:50:20,840 --> 01:50:21,840
he was claiming that he found the skull
2678
01:50:22,940 --> 01:50:23,940
himself in a daring expedition to
2679
01:50:25,160 --> 01:50:26,160
Central America
2680
01:50:26,380 --> 01:50:27,380
mitchell-hedges was a renowned
2681
01:50:28,220 --> 01:50:29,220
storyteller and often sold his fanciful
2682
01:50:31,340 --> 01:50:32,340
stories to Hearst Newspapers for example
2683
01:50:34,280 --> 01:50:35,280
mitchell-hedges was a fisherman by trade
2684
01:50:36,260 --> 01:50:37,260
so he would have tales of him catching
2685
01:50:38,390 --> 01:50:39,390
previously undiscovered animals fighting
2686
01:50:41,330 --> 01:50:42,330
off sea monsters tales of man-eating
2687
01:50:43,970 --> 01:50:44,970
sharks as well as your average big fish
2688
01:50:46,460 --> 01:50:47,460
stories later though with his book
2689
01:50:48,740 --> 01:50:49,740
danger is my Ally he told tales of him
2690
01:50:51,620 --> 01:50:52,620
discovering previously unknown lands and
2691
01:50:54,170 --> 01:50:55,170
undiscovered people groups as well as
2692
01:50:56,300 --> 01:50:57,300
battling all kinds of jungle dangers
2693
01:50:58,400 --> 01:50:59,400
later on people would write editorials
2694
01:51:00,830 --> 01:51:01,830
that had been to the areas that he said
2695
01:51:03,260 --> 01:51:04,260
he went to and publicly debunked him
2696
01:51:05,540 --> 01:51:06,540
mitchell-hedges was also shown to hoax
2697
01:51:07,880 --> 01:51:08,880
an odd situation involving a supposed
2698
01:51:10,730 --> 01:51:11,730
robbed
2699
01:51:11,330 --> 01:51:12,330
in several shrunken heads he even lost a
2700
01:51:14,390 --> 01:51:15,390
very public liable suit concerning this
2701
01:51:16,460 --> 01:51:17,460
but all of this only scratches the
2702
01:51:18,680 --> 01:51:19,680
surface of the deceit that surrounds the
2703
01:51:21,380 --> 01:51:22,380
mitchell-hedges skull first of all none
2704
01:51:24,140 --> 01:51:25,140
of the stories about the discovery of
2705
01:51:26,000 --> 01:51:27,000
the mitchell-hedges skull match each
2706
01:51:27,770 --> 01:51:28,770
other and all of them contradict the
2707
01:51:30,140 --> 01:51:31,140
letter that he sent to his brother in
2708
01:51:31,610 --> 01:51:32,610
1943 which clearly says he bought it at
2709
01:51:34,910 --> 01:51:35,910
an auction
2710
01:51:35,540 --> 01:51:36,540
it says the collection grows and grows
2711
01:51:38,240 --> 01:51:39,240
and grows you possibly saw in the papers
2712
01:51:40,760 --> 01:51:41,760
that I acquired that amazing crystal
2713
01:51:42,530 --> 01:51:43,530
skull that was formerly in the Sidney
2714
01:51:44,690 --> 01:51:45,690
Bernie collection it is fashioned from a
2715
01:51:47,030 --> 01:51:48,030
single block of transparent rock crystal
2716
01:51:49,280 --> 01:51:50,280
exactly life-size scientists put the
2717
01:51:52,160 --> 01:51:53,160
date at pre 1800 BC and they estimate it
2718
01:51:55,160 --> 01:51:56,160
took five generations passing from
2719
01:51:57,350 --> 01:51:58,350
father to son to complete its
2720
01:51:59,470 --> 01:52:00,470
anthropologically perfect in every
2721
01:52:01,250 --> 01:52:02,250
detail a superb piece of craftsmanship
2722
01:52:03,610 --> 01:52:04,610
there is only one other in the world
2723
01:52:05,960 --> 01:52:06,960
known like it which is in the British
2724
01:52:07,970 --> 01:52:08,970
Museum and it is acknowledged to be not
2725
01:52:10,370 --> 01:52:11,370
so fine as this many years later when
2726
01:52:12,920 --> 01:52:13,920
this letter surfaced his adopted
2727
01:52:15,200 --> 01:52:16,200
daughter Anna tried to explain the
2728
01:52:16,940 --> 01:52:17,940
discrepancy between these stories this
2729
01:52:19,040 --> 01:52:20,040
way on her website quote in 1943
2730
01:52:22,280 --> 01:52:23,280
mitchell-hedges got embroiled in another
2731
01:52:24,230 --> 01:52:25,230
controversy that still rages in some
2732
01:52:26,660 --> 01:52:27,660
quarters to this day in times before
2733
01:52:29,210 --> 01:52:30,210
burglar alarms it was not unusual to
2734
01:52:31,520 --> 01:52:32,520
leave valuable items with friends if one
2735
01:52:33,860 --> 01:52:34,860
was going away for long periods of time
2736
01:52:35,750 --> 01:52:36,750
mitchell-hedges did this with a school
2737
01:52:38,000 --> 01:52:39,000
friend Sidney Burnie who had always
2738
01:52:40,220 --> 01:52:41,220
shown an interest in the Crystal Skull
2739
01:52:42,200 --> 01:52:43,200
however in 1943
2740
01:52:44,390 --> 01:52:45,390
Bernie inexplicably put the crystal
2741
01:52:46,790 --> 01:52:47,790
skull up for auction at South bees in
2742
01:52:48,770 --> 01:52:49,770
London mitchell-hedges learned of this
2743
01:52:50,900 --> 01:52:51,900
the day before and was so furious that
2744
01:52:53,420 --> 01:52:54,420
for a while he was unable to speak
2745
01:52:55,130 --> 01:52:56,130
unable to contact Bernie he aroused the
2746
01:52:57,800 --> 01:52:58,800
next day at 5:00 a.m. and travelled to
2747
01:52:59,870 --> 01:53:00,870
London to retrieve his property south
2748
01:53:02,690 --> 01:53:03,690
bees informed him that the vendor was
2749
01:53:04,370 --> 01:53:05,370
Sidney Bernie's son when they refused to
2750
01:53:06,680 --> 01:53:07,680
withdraw it from the sale
2751
01:53:07,940 --> 01:53:08,940
mitchell-hedges realized the easiest way
2752
01:53:10,040 --> 01:53:11,040
of regaining his property was to
2753
01:53:12,260 --> 01:53:13,260
purchase it back this he did for 400
2754
01:53:15,110 --> 01:53:16,110
pounds this doesn't make sense for a lot
2755
01:53:17,480 --> 01:53:18,480
of reasons let alone that according to
2756
01:53:19,820 --> 01:53:20,820
her story which we will get to in a
2757
01:53:21,740 --> 01:53:22,740
minute this would mean that he had the
2758
01:53:23,480 --> 01:53:24,480
skull for ten years
2759
01:53:24,830 --> 01:53:25,830
and didn't mention it to anyone until
2760
01:53:26,840 --> 01:53:27,840
after he writes this letter to his
2761
01:53:29,120 --> 01:53:30,120
brother
2762
01:53:29,660 --> 01:53:30,660
a decade later obviously implying that
2763
01:53:32,360 --> 01:53:33,360
it was something that he just acquired
2764
01:53:33,890 --> 01:53:34,890
for the first time after mitchell-hedges
2765
01:53:35,840 --> 01:53:36,840
died the skull was left to Anna Mitchell
2766
01:53:38,210 --> 01:53:39,210
hedges his adopted daughter and this is
2767
01:53:40,940 --> 01:53:41,940
when things get really sketchy Anna
2768
01:53:42,860 --> 01:53:43,860
spent her entire life trying to sell the
2769
01:53:45,680 --> 01:53:46,680
skull she hired a guy named Frank
2770
01:53:47,990 --> 01:53:48,990
Dorland an art dealer to promote the
2771
01:53:50,090 --> 01:53:51,090
skull so that she could get it sold
2772
01:53:52,210 --> 01:53:53,210
Derlin had worked with her father when
2773
01:53:54,380 --> 01:53:55,380
he was alive to sell another one of his
2774
01:53:56,240 --> 01:53:57,240
objects which also turned out to be a
2775
01:53:58,460 --> 01:53:59,460
fake she and Dorland signed an agreement
2776
01:54:01,130 --> 01:54:02,130
in July of 1964 that he would promote
2777
01:54:04,340 --> 01:54:05,340
the skull and that the price of its sale
2778
01:54:06,530 --> 01:54:07,530
must be no less than $50,000 Dorland
2779
01:54:10,190 --> 01:54:11,190
then got busy trying to make everything
2780
01:54:11,750 --> 01:54:12,750
look really official including coming up
2781
01:54:14,630 --> 01:54:15,630
with a totally different story for the
2782
01:54:16,850 --> 01:54:17,850
skulls discovery after this agreement
2783
01:54:19,130 --> 01:54:20,130
with Dorland in 1964 was the first time
2784
01:54:22,130 --> 01:54:23,130
that anna claimed that it was she not
2785
01:54:25,160 --> 01:54:26,160
her father who found the skull something
2786
01:54:27,920 --> 01:54:28,920
that no one else seemed to mention in
2787
01:54:29,150 --> 01:54:30,150
the last 30 years
2788
01:54:30,080 --> 01:54:31,080
by doing this it made Anna the sole
2789
01:54:32,750 --> 01:54:33,750
person who could establish provenience
2790
01:54:34,640 --> 01:54:35,640
for the skull something that a buyer
2791
01:54:36,860 --> 01:54:37,860
would want especially a museum and
2792
01:54:39,260 --> 01:54:40,260
because everyone else involved was dead
2793
01:54:41,480 --> 01:54:42,480
by this time there was no one left to
2794
01:54:43,550 --> 01:54:44,550
contradict this new story all of the
2795
01:54:46,070 --> 01:54:47,070
mystical claims about the skull were
2796
01:54:48,470 --> 01:54:49,470
born out of the two books that the
2797
01:54:50,360 --> 01:54:51,360
promoter Frank Dorland commissioned in
2798
01:54:52,640 --> 01:54:53,640
order to promote the skull here is a
2799
01:54:55,010 --> 01:54:56,010
letter from Dorland to Anna concerning
2800
01:54:57,140 --> 01:54:58,140
the writer who he wanted to write one of
2801
01:54:59,570 --> 01:55:00,570
the books quote I have convinced Dick
2802
01:55:01,700 --> 01:55:02,700
Garvin who does sell it is worth the
2803
01:55:03,770 --> 01:55:04,770
percentage to you and me and you to
2804
01:55:05,960 --> 01:55:06,960
furnish the information this makes it a
2805
01:55:08,210 --> 01:55:09,210
better book and makes more money all the
2806
01:55:10,220 --> 01:55:11,220
way around the skull is not sold it is
2807
01:55:12,860 --> 01:55:13,860
put to use in this manner and for public
2808
01:55:14,780 --> 01:55:15,780
appearances to boost sales and interest
2809
01:55:17,000 --> 01:55:18,000
these books make outlandish claims about
2810
01:55:19,580 --> 01:55:20,580
the crystal skulls origin and powers and
2811
01:55:22,070 --> 01:55:23,070
since the books were released at the
2812
01:55:24,110 --> 01:55:25,110
height of the New Age movement they
2813
01:55:26,000 --> 01:55:27,000
enjoyed an uncritical and enthusiastic
2814
01:55:28,550 --> 01:55:29,550
audience during all these years they
2815
01:55:30,800 --> 01:55:31,800
tried desperately to sell the skull the
2816
01:55:33,200 --> 01:55:34,200
problem was that because of all the
2817
01:55:35,030 --> 01:55:36,030
fakes museums were now asking to
2818
01:55:37,460 --> 01:55:38,460
validate the skull fir
2819
01:55:39,120 --> 01:55:40,120
one letter from the British Museum to
2820
01:55:41,370 --> 01:55:42,370
Anna shows that the negotiations were
2821
01:55:43,920 --> 01:55:44,920
stopped when the curator caught wind of
2822
01:55:46,320 --> 01:55:47,320
the actual history of the skull
2823
01:55:48,180 --> 01:55:49,180
none of this stops ancient aliens from
2824
01:55:50,160 --> 01:55:51,160
promoting all kinds of contradictory
2825
01:55:52,230 --> 01:55:53,230
stories about the skull yes they're
2826
01:55:54,510 --> 01:55:55,510
alien artifacts even some people think
2827
01:55:58,950 --> 01:55:59,950
they're made on another planet but there
2828
01:56:01,680 --> 01:56:02,680
were created specifically to hold
2829
01:56:03,840 --> 01:56:04,840
records from alien civilizations there's
2830
01:56:07,410 --> 01:56:08,410
a legend that there were 13 skulls and
2831
01:56:10,020 --> 01:56:11,020
that when the 13 skulls come together
2832
01:56:13,010 --> 01:56:14,010
then something significant will change
2833
01:56:15,750 --> 01:56:16,750
in the world
2834
01:56:16,820 --> 01:56:17,820
[Music]
2835
01:56:18,400 --> 01:56:19,400
legend suggests that there are 12
2836
01:56:21,160 --> 01:56:22,160
additional world's out there planets
2837
01:56:23,520 --> 01:56:24,520
which are inhabited by intelligent
2838
01:56:26,170 --> 01:56:27,170
species these 13 crystal skulls that
2839
01:56:30,040 --> 01:56:31,040
allegedly exist on planet earth were
2840
01:56:34,630 --> 01:56:35,630
each brought here from one of those 12
2841
01:56:38,020 --> 01:56:39,020
planets and the 13th skull is the one
2842
01:56:44,800 --> 01:56:45,800
that apparently contains all of the
2843
01:56:47,530 --> 01:56:48,530
information of all those 12 different
2844
01:56:50,560 --> 01:56:51,560
worlds and that's the legend of the
2845
01:56:52,750 --> 01:56:53,750
crystal skulls but as ancient astronaut
2846
01:56:56,560 --> 01:56:57,560
theorists maintain why would visiting
2847
01:56:59,080 --> 01:57:00,080
aliens have given the Crystal Skull to
2848
01:57:01,930 --> 01:57:02,930
the Maya the only problem is that no one
2849
01:57:05,200 --> 01:57:06,200
can seem to find a record of this Mayan
2850
01:57:07,360 --> 01:57:08,360
prophecy the idea seems to trace back to
2851
01:57:10,120 --> 01:57:11,120
one new-age author Mayan scholars have
2852
01:57:13,060 --> 01:57:14,060
never heard of this legend and certainly
2853
01:57:15,580 --> 01:57:16,580
not this one a lot of natives and a lot
2854
01:57:18,340 --> 01:57:19,340
of people working with crystal skulls
2855
01:57:20,080 --> 01:57:21,080
say that the high quartz content skulls
2856
01:57:22,510 --> 01:57:23,510
and especially the quartz skulls
2857
01:57:24,250 --> 01:57:25,250
themselves is the highest frequency or
2858
01:57:27,160 --> 01:57:28,160
energy or vibration possible on the
2859
01:57:30,370 --> 01:57:31,370
physical plane and so a lot of native
2860
01:57:33,250 --> 01:57:34,250
people kind of worshipped or took care
2861
01:57:35,530 --> 01:57:36,530
of these objects because they knew that
2862
01:57:37,930 --> 01:57:38,930
they had or felt that they had the
2863
01:57:40,780 --> 01:57:41,780
highest energy possible on the earth
2864
01:57:42,610 --> 01:57:43,610
plane this whole myth was birthed out of
2865
01:57:45,310 --> 01:57:46,310
a marketing campaign for a forged
2866
01:57:47,290 --> 01:57:48,290
artifact a myth which found a home in
2867
01:57:50,170 --> 01:57:51,170
the New Age in conclusion all of the
2868
01:57:53,170 --> 01:57:54,170
proposed crystal skulls have now been
2869
01:57:55,210 --> 01:57:56,210
conclusively proven to be hoaxes the
2870
01:57:58,330 --> 01:57:59,330
last holdout the mitchell-hedges skull
2871
01:58:00,100 --> 01:58:01,100
was only still a candidate because it
2872
01:58:02,410 --> 01:58:03,410
was not allowed to be examined until
2873
01:58:04,240 --> 01:58:05,240
recently its history is full of greed
2874
01:58:07,090 --> 01:58:08,090
and lies and it's genuineness could only
2875
01:58:10,450 --> 01:58:11,450
be accepted by the most dedicated
2876
01:58:12,370 --> 01:58:13,370
devotee a given the facts we now know
2877
01:58:18,060 --> 01:58:19,060
[Music]
2878
01:58:28,700 --> 01:58:29,700
in the Book of Ezekiel the Prophet
2879
01:58:31,620 --> 01:58:32,620
describes a flying chariot containing
2880
01:58:34,770 --> 01:58:35,770
wheels within wheels and powered by
2881
01:58:36,990 --> 01:58:37,990
angels
2882
01:58:39,440 --> 01:58:40,440
although Bible historians suggest
2883
01:58:42,010 --> 01:58:43,010
Ezekiel was speaking symbolically about
2884
01:58:44,840 --> 01:58:45,840
the terrifying enemies facing Israel
2885
01:58:46,870 --> 01:58:47,870
could this be another example of an
2886
01:58:49,760 --> 01:58:50,760
alien visitation and proof that
2887
01:58:52,250 --> 01:58:53,250
prehistoric aircraft existed Ezekiel's
2888
01:58:55,820 --> 01:58:56,820
vision is often used to try to support
2889
01:58:57,890 --> 01:58:58,890
the ancient astronaut theory let's take
2890
01:59:00,500 --> 01:59:01,500
a closer look and see if it does in fact
2891
01:59:02,330 --> 01:59:03,330
support this idea
2892
01:59:03,739 --> 01:59:04,739
first we need to disagree with the
2893
01:59:05,810 --> 01:59:06,810
narrator that biblical scholars think
2894
01:59:08,030 --> 01:59:09,030
this vision is referring to the enemies
2895
01:59:09,980 --> 01:59:10,980
of Israel I can't imagine any biblical
2896
01:59:12,320 --> 01:59:13,320
scholar saying that as it expressly says
2897
01:59:15,050 --> 01:59:16,050
in the book that the vision is of the
2898
01:59:16,910 --> 01:59:17,910
glory of God on his throne I've read
2899
01:59:19,550 --> 01:59:20,550
dozens of commentaries by Bible scholars
2900
01:59:21,680 --> 01:59:22,680
on Ezekiel and have never found one that
2901
01:59:23,719 --> 01:59:24,719
said this was referring to the enemies
2902
01:59:25,460 --> 01:59:26,460
of Israel I think this is the case of
2903
01:59:27,590 --> 01:59:28,590
ancient aliens propping up a straw man
2904
01:59:29,840 --> 01:59:30,840
argument in other words taking an
2905
01:59:31,940 --> 01:59:32,940
obviously weak argument and pretending
2906
01:59:34,190 --> 01:59:35,190
it is your opposition's majority view
2907
01:59:36,199 --> 01:59:37,199
the main premise of the ancient
2908
01:59:38,000 --> 01:59:39,000
astronaut theory is that ancient writers
2909
01:59:40,340 --> 01:59:41,340
couldn't understand or didn't have the
2910
01:59:43,100 --> 01:59:44,100
vocabulary to explain technology but
2911
01:59:46,430 --> 01:59:47,430
that idea doesn't really work for
2912
01:59:48,110 --> 01:59:49,110
Ezekiel for many reasons first of all
2913
01:59:50,870 --> 01:59:51,870
Ezekiel had a huge vocabulary Hebrew is
2914
01:59:53,870 --> 01:59:54,870
one of the richest languages in the
2915
01:59:55,520 --> 01:59:56,520
history of the world an Ezekiel showed
2916
01:59:57,710 --> 01:59:58,710
great skill in utilizing it when
2917
01:59:59,930 --> 02:00:00,930
describing complicated things in other
2918
02:00:02,210 --> 02:00:03,210
places in his writings he had the
2919
02:00:04,400 --> 02:00:05,400
vocabulary to say things like silver
2920
02:00:06,350 --> 02:00:07,350
discs or round or window or gray being
2921
02:00:10,190 --> 02:00:11,190
with big eyes if he wanted to but he
2922
02:00:12,530 --> 02:00:13,530
didn't as we will see what Ezekiel
2923
02:00:14,989 --> 02:00:15,989
describes simply cannot be compared to a
2924
02:00:18,080 --> 02:00:19,080
UFO more than any other Bible writer
2925
02:00:20,810 --> 02:00:21,810
Ezekiel was extremely detail-oriented he
2926
02:00:24,800 --> 02:00:25,800
makes sure to describe every detail not
2927
02:00:27,230 --> 02:00:28,230
just here but throughout his writings
2928
02:00:29,120 --> 02:00:30,120
for example a very accurate model of the
2929
02:00:32,270 --> 02:00:33,270
layout of an entire city as well as a
2930
02:00:34,850 --> 02:00:35,850
huge temple complex can be constructed
2931
02:00:37,520 --> 02:00:38,520
using his specifications he even starts
2932
02:00:40,489 --> 02:00:41,489
out every one of his visions by a
2933
02:00:42,290 --> 02:00:43,290
meticulous detailing of the time and
2934
02:00:44,750 --> 02:00:45,750
place it happened for example in Ezekiel
2935
02:00:46,969 --> 02:00:47,969
8:1 and it came to pass in the sixth
2936
02:00:49,580 --> 02:00:50,580
year in the sixth month in the fifth day
2937
02:00:51,860 --> 02:00:52,860
of the month as a
2938
02:00:52,940 --> 02:00:53,940
sat in my house and the elders of Judah
2939
02:00:55,040 --> 02:00:56,040
set before me that the hand of the Lord
2940
02:00:56,960 --> 02:00:57,960
God fell there upon me the vision that
2941
02:00:59,300 --> 02:01:00,300
Ezekiel saw that is in question here can
2942
02:01:01,760 --> 02:01:02,760
also be drawn out on paper using his
2943
02:01:04,340 --> 02:01:05,340
specifications and people that do this
2944
02:01:06,890 --> 02:01:07,890
all pretty much get the same thing it's
2945
02:01:09,530 --> 02:01:10,530
describing the throne of God
2946
02:01:11,300 --> 02:01:12,300
which rests on a platform that platform
2947
02:01:14,239 --> 02:01:15,239
is supported by four cherubim on each
2948
02:01:16,160 --> 02:01:17,160
corner cherubs are specific types of
2949
02:01:18,440 --> 02:01:19,440
angels in the Bible that have four faces
2950
02:01:20,330 --> 02:01:21,330
in several wings there are also four
2951
02:01:22,730 --> 02:01:23,730
wheels next to the angels everyone in
2952
02:01:24,890 --> 02:01:25,890
the field knows what this is in Ezekiel
2953
02:01:27,170 --> 02:01:28,170
1 it's a cherubim throne because we have
2954
02:01:29,030 --> 02:01:30,030
very clear examples of the actual
2955
02:01:31,880 --> 02:01:32,880
elements that you find in Ezekiel 1 it's
2956
02:01:34,910 --> 02:01:35,910
not that exciting but it's more or less
2957
02:01:36,949 --> 02:01:37,949
what everyone gets when they draw this
2958
02:01:38,690 --> 02:01:39,690
out well almost everyone
2959
02:01:40,760 --> 02:01:41,760
Joseph blue Muroc is your proverbial
2960
02:01:43,219 --> 02:01:44,219
rocket scientist he worked on the moon
2961
02:01:47,090 --> 02:01:48,090
project for NASA and from the mind of a
2962
02:01:51,560 --> 02:01:52,560
rocket engineer started to look at what
2963
02:01:55,430 --> 02:01:56,430
was written in the first part of the
2964
02:01:57,860 --> 02:01:58,860
Book of Ezekiel and after many months of
2965
02:02:01,130 --> 02:02:02,130
research Joseph's blue Merrik came to
2966
02:02:04,580 --> 02:02:05,580
the conclusion that what Ezekiel
2967
02:02:08,449 --> 02:02:09,449
described in his eyewitness report it
2968
02:02:12,969 --> 02:02:13,969
was indeed a type of spacecraft
2969
02:02:16,810 --> 02:02:17,810
[Music]
2970
02:02:19,070 --> 02:02:20,070
Joseph bloomer ik would go on to write
2971
02:02:21,660 --> 02:02:22,660
the spaceships of ezekiel okay so they
2972
02:02:25,470 --> 02:02:26,470
say that this guy who they say is super
2973
02:02:27,810 --> 02:02:28,810
smart really studied the book of ezekiel
2974
02:02:29,880 --> 02:02:30,880
and they say what he got was this
2975
02:02:32,220 --> 02:02:33,220
contraption with four propellers at the
2976
02:02:34,440 --> 02:02:35,440
bottom of each corner the biggest
2977
02:02:36,270 --> 02:02:37,270
problem with this theory is Ezekiel's
2978
02:02:38,490 --> 02:02:39,490
attention to detail there's just no way
2979
02:02:40,830 --> 02:02:41,830
to get this contraption from what
2980
02:02:42,840 --> 02:02:43,840
Ezekiel describes Bloom Rich's book and
2981
02:02:45,930 --> 02:02:46,930
other books other items penned by
2982
02:02:49,200 --> 02:02:50,200
ancient astronaut theorists again all
2983
02:02:52,440 --> 02:02:53,440
have the same weakness they tend to
2984
02:02:54,240 --> 02:02:55,240
ignore the vocabulary of Ezekiel chapter
2985
02:02:57,600 --> 02:02:58,600
1 for instance again the the throne upon
2986
02:03:00,420 --> 02:03:01,420
which yahweh seats it's never described
2987
02:03:02,340 --> 02:03:03,340
as round or silvery or some sort of disk
2988
02:03:05,280 --> 02:03:06,280
shaped that just has to be assumed and
2989
02:03:07,710 --> 02:03:08,710
brought into the text so they either do
2990
02:03:10,140 --> 02:03:11,140
that or they modernize the descriptions
2991
02:03:13,410 --> 02:03:14,410
that are there for instance the bovine
2992
02:03:15,300 --> 02:03:16,300
that the calf legs must surely be legs
2993
02:03:19,020 --> 02:03:20,020
of a UFO or some other aircraft you know
2994
02:03:22,140 --> 02:03:23,140
landing pod sorts of things let me read
2995
02:03:25,680 --> 02:03:26,680
a description of the four angels holding
2996
02:03:27,570 --> 02:03:28,570
up the throne and you can decide for
2997
02:03:29,400 --> 02:03:30,400
yourself if you think he is really
2998
02:03:31,350 --> 02:03:32,350
struggling with his ancient vocabulary
2999
02:03:33,420 --> 02:03:34,420
to describe four propellers also out of
3000
02:03:36,600 --> 02:03:37,600
the midst thereof came the likeness of
3001
02:03:38,820 --> 02:03:39,820
four living creatures and this was their
3002
02:03:41,730 --> 02:03:42,730
appearance they had the likeness of a
3003
02:03:44,460 --> 02:03:45,460
man and everyone had four faces and
3004
02:03:47,370 --> 02:03:48,370
everyone had four wings and they had the
3005
02:03:50,370 --> 02:03:51,370
hands of a man under their wings on
3006
02:03:52,440 --> 02:03:53,440
their four sides and they four had their
3007
02:03:55,260 --> 02:03:56,260
faces and their wings as for the
3008
02:03:57,510 --> 02:03:58,510
likeness of their faces they four had
3009
02:03:59,520 --> 02:04:00,520
the face of a man and the face of a lion
3010
02:04:01,890 --> 02:04:02,890
on the right side and they four had the
3011
02:04:03,930 --> 02:04:04,930
face of an ox on the left side and they
3012
02:04:06,450 --> 02:04:07,450
four also had the face of an eagle it's
3013
02:04:09,210 --> 02:04:10,210
hard to get a propeller when Ezekiel
3014
02:04:11,190 --> 02:04:12,190
says and this was their appearance they
3015
02:04:13,650 --> 02:04:14,650
had the likeness of a man
3016
02:04:15,210 --> 02:04:16,210
Ezekiel knew what a man looked like so
3017
02:04:17,910 --> 02:04:18,910
it's just not honest to say that Ezekiel
3018
02:04:19,800 --> 02:04:20,800
mistook a propeller for a man but
3019
02:04:23,010 --> 02:04:24,010
ancient aliens has a way around this one
3020
02:04:24,720 --> 02:04:25,720
if we thought of the word angel
3021
02:04:27,300 --> 02:04:28,300
as representing something like celestial
3022
02:04:29,550 --> 02:04:30,550
energy it sounds much more like a
3023
02:04:32,760 --> 02:04:33,760
spacecraft that so he says we just make
3024
02:04:35,369 --> 02:04:36,369
angel equal celestial energy and that's
3025
02:04:38,309 --> 02:04:39,309
much better for our UFO Theory talk
3026
02:04:40,949 --> 02:04:41,949
about forcing the evidence to fit the
3027
02:04:42,719 --> 02:04:43,719
hypothesis using this logic I could say
3028
02:04:45,059 --> 02:04:46,059
that the description of my car would
3029
02:04:47,340 --> 02:04:48,340
sound more like a UFO if instead of
3030
02:04:50,099 --> 02:04:51,099
wheels
3031
02:04:50,820 --> 02:04:51,820
I said anti-gravity devices the problem
3032
02:04:54,300 --> 02:04:55,300
is that Ezekiel doesn't just mention
3033
02:04:56,309 --> 02:04:57,309
angels in passing he devotes an entire
3034
02:04:58,710 --> 02:04:59,710
chapter to describing them he calls them
3035
02:05:01,650 --> 02:05:02,650
cherubim over 20 times in chapter 10 he
3036
02:05:04,619 --> 02:05:05,619
even says in chapter 10 verse 20 that he
3037
02:05:06,809 --> 02:05:07,809
knows that they are cherubim it's very
3038
02:05:09,360 --> 02:05:10,360
illogical to assume that our reading or
3039
02:05:14,670 --> 02:05:15,670
an ancient astronaut reading of the
3040
02:05:16,380 --> 02:05:17,380
modern mind is getting it right when the
3041
02:05:20,219 --> 02:05:21,219
ancient person has pretty much done all
3042
02:05:22,559 --> 02:05:23,559
they could do to tell you what they're
3043
02:05:24,000 --> 02:05:25,000
talking about and then you sort of just
3044
02:05:26,489 --> 02:05:27,489
depart from what they say so it's very
3045
02:05:28,860 --> 02:05:29,860
inconsistent to say that you're reading
3046
02:05:31,290 --> 02:05:32,290
an ancient text but then looking at what
3047
02:05:34,290 --> 02:05:35,290
the creators of that text thought and
3048
02:05:36,599 --> 02:05:37,599
just sort of pushing it to the side one
3049
02:05:38,849 --> 02:05:39,849
thing that helps to dispel the Ezekiel
3050
02:05:40,889 --> 02:05:41,889
UFO theories is by seeing how common
3051
02:05:44,040 --> 02:05:45,040
this throne idea is in other places in
3052
02:05:46,770 --> 02:05:47,770
the Bible no one seems to think these
3053
02:05:48,780 --> 02:05:49,780
other passages are talking about UFOs
3054
02:05:50,849 --> 02:05:51,849
but they're obviously talking about the
3055
02:05:53,010 --> 02:05:54,010
same thing as Ezekiel for example in the
3056
02:05:55,679 --> 02:05:56,679
book of Revelation when John was taken
3057
02:05:57,809 --> 02:05:58,809
up to heaven and specifically to God's
3058
02:05:59,820 --> 02:06:00,820
throne this is how he describes it and
3059
02:06:02,239 --> 02:06:03,239
immediately I was in the spirit and
3060
02:06:04,409 --> 02:06:05,409
behold a throne was set in heaven and
3061
02:06:06,630 --> 02:06:07,630
one sat on the throne and before the
3062
02:06:09,570 --> 02:06:10,570
throne there was a sea of glass like
3063
02:06:11,369 --> 02:06:12,369
unto crystal and in the midst of the
3064
02:06:13,590 --> 02:06:14,590
throne and round about the throne were
3065
02:06:15,690 --> 02:06:16,690
four beasts full of eyes before and
3066
02:06:17,969 --> 02:06:18,969
behind and the first beast was like a
3067
02:06:20,219 --> 02:06:21,219
lion and the second beast like a calf
3068
02:06:22,409 --> 02:06:23,409
and the third beast had the face as a
3069
02:06:25,110 --> 02:06:26,110
man and the fourth beast was like a
3070
02:06:27,420 --> 02:06:28,420
flying eagle and the four beasts had
3071
02:06:29,790 --> 02:06:30,790
each of them six wings about him and
3072
02:06:31,829 --> 02:06:32,829
they were full of eyes within and they
3073
02:06:34,290 --> 02:06:35,290
rest not day and night saying holy holy
3074
02:06:36,389 --> 02:06:37,389
holy Lord God Almighty which was and is
3075
02:06:39,659 --> 02:06:40,659
and is to come
3076
02:06:40,979 --> 02:06:41,979
Daniel the prophet even mentions that
3077
02:06:42,659 --> 02:06:43,659
the throne of God has wheels in Daniel
3078
02:06:44,729 --> 02:06:45,729
7:9 there other places in the Hebrew
3079
02:06:47,639 --> 02:06:48,639
Bible that described God's throne a lot
3080
02:06:50,940 --> 02:06:51,940
of them don't have a great deal of
3081
02:06:52,619 --> 02:06:53,619
detail Isaiah 6 is sort of a familiar
3082
02:06:55,530 --> 02:06:56,530
example where Isaiah appears before
3083
02:06:57,269 --> 02:06:58,269
God's throne with the Seraphim and and
3084
02:06:59,610 --> 02:07:00,610
other divine beings there I think the
3085
02:07:02,340 --> 02:07:03,340
best one for this particular issue
3086
02:07:04,739 --> 02:07:05,739
Ezekiel chapter one is found in Daniel 7
3087
02:07:08,400 --> 02:07:09,400
you have the Ancient of Days seated upon
3088
02:07:11,699 --> 02:07:12,699
a throne and it's called a throne the
3089
02:07:14,550 --> 02:07:15,550
word for throne actually appears in the
3090
02:07:16,650 --> 02:07:17,650
passage and the issue there is since we
3091
02:07:20,130 --> 02:07:21,130
know it's a throne because Daniel calls
3092
02:07:22,110 --> 02:07:23,110
it a throne it's really important to
3093
02:07:24,780 --> 02:07:25,780
observe how the throne is described it
3094
02:07:26,729 --> 02:07:27,729
has wheels it has fiery you know fire
3095
02:07:30,119 --> 02:07:31,119
about it fiery description the wheels
3096
02:07:31,800 --> 02:07:32,800
scholars have known for a long time that
3097
02:07:34,170 --> 02:07:35,170
the description of the throne in Daniel
3098
02:07:36,510 --> 02:07:37,510
7 has the same elements as that in
3099
02:07:39,840 --> 02:07:40,840
Ezekiel 1 so it's very clearly a throne
3100
02:07:42,360 --> 02:07:43,360
and some of these other passages help us
3101
02:07:44,039 --> 02:07:45,039
understand that we could go through
3102
02:07:45,959 --> 02:07:46,959
other passages but the point is that
3103
02:07:48,150 --> 02:07:49,150
according to the Bible God's throne is
3104
02:07:50,400 --> 02:07:51,400
supported by four angels with multiple
3105
02:07:52,559 --> 02:07:53,559
wings which are on wheels but now the
3106
02:07:54,900 --> 02:07:55,900
interesting part it seems that even the
3107
02:07:57,780 --> 02:07:58,780
other cultures from Sumer to Egypt and
3108
02:08:00,510 --> 02:08:01,510
everywhere in between also knew that the
3109
02:08:03,420 --> 02:08:04,420
thrones of kings and especially of God
3110
02:08:05,940 --> 02:08:06,940
were to be supported by cherubim and
3111
02:08:08,340 --> 02:08:09,340
that they have wheels as well as other
3112
02:08:10,829 --> 02:08:11,829
elements described by Ezekiel we know
3113
02:08:13,320 --> 02:08:14,320
this because of the artwork of the
3114
02:08:14,999 --> 02:08:15,999
ancient world there are thousands of
3115
02:08:17,429 --> 02:08:18,429
pieces of art from the ancient world
3116
02:08:18,989 --> 02:08:19,989
that show various elements that Ezekiel
3117
02:08:21,179 --> 02:08:22,179
described of God's throne we can see
3118
02:08:23,789 --> 02:08:24,789
angels some of them even have four faces
3119
02:08:26,309 --> 02:08:27,309
some of them have wheels they have the
3120
02:08:29,190 --> 02:08:30,190
platform and the throne in terms of
3121
02:08:31,769 --> 02:08:32,769
iconography again what I like to
3122
02:08:33,329 --> 02:08:34,329
describe is the Polaroids of the Old
3123
02:08:35,519 --> 02:08:36,519
Testament ancient world again pictures
3124
02:08:38,249 --> 02:08:39,249
they left us of the things they're
3125
02:08:40,380 --> 02:08:41,380
talking about the idea of a deity seated
3126
02:08:43,650 --> 02:08:44,650
on a throne that was in effect a chariot
3127
02:08:46,199 --> 02:08:47,199
that is carried around by supernatural
3128
02:08:49,139 --> 02:08:50,139
beings with wings in other words to
3129
02:08:51,449 --> 02:08:52,449
describe it as the chariot of
3130
02:08:53,830 --> 02:08:54,830
that's very common but when it's
3131
02:08:56,590 --> 02:08:57,590
depicted it's never depicted as what we
3132
02:08:59,710 --> 02:09:00,710
would think of as a UFO no triangles no
3133
02:09:02,980 --> 02:09:03,980
round discs nothing like that it's a
3134
02:09:05,470 --> 02:09:06,470
chair it's a throne under which again
3135
02:09:09,400 --> 02:09:10,400
has some sort of platform and he's
3136
02:09:12,850 --> 02:09:13,850
seated upon the deity is seated upon
3137
02:09:14,530 --> 02:09:15,530
these various heavenly creatures there
3138
02:09:17,080 --> 02:09:18,080
are also a ton of basic logical problems
3139
02:09:19,750 --> 02:09:20,750
with the ancient astronaut theorists
3140
02:09:21,640 --> 02:09:22,640
idea that Ezekiel is talking about a UFO
3141
02:09:23,790 --> 02:09:24,790
here is one of them well that sounds
3142
02:09:27,310 --> 02:09:28,310
like flames that sounds like propulsion
3143
02:09:29,110 --> 02:09:30,110
no physicists no matter how sympathetic
3144
02:09:32,170 --> 02:09:33,170
to this cause would say that using a
3145
02:09:34,390 --> 02:09:35,390
combustion engine for interstellar
3146
02:09:36,280 --> 02:09:37,280
travel is possible not to mention that
3147
02:09:39,070 --> 02:09:40,070
this particular fire comes from coal on
3148
02:09:41,830 --> 02:09:42,830
the altar so that would make this a coal
3149
02:09:44,260 --> 02:09:45,260
powered interstellar spaceship as simple
3150
02:09:47,140 --> 02:09:48,140
as it sounds the entire reason this
3151
02:09:49,120 --> 02:09:50,120
whole thing with Ezekiel started in the
3152
02:09:51,070 --> 02:09:52,070
70s was because of the line Ezekiel uses
3153
02:09:53,830 --> 02:09:54,830
wheels within wheels people basically
3154
02:09:56,920 --> 02:09:57,920
said wheels around and flying saucers
3155
02:09:59,350 --> 02:10:00,350
are supposed to be round - Ezekiel saw
3156
02:10:01,960 --> 02:10:02,960
his wheel within a wheel this sounds
3157
02:10:04,600 --> 02:10:05,600
more high-tech than supernatural but the
3158
02:10:07,690 --> 02:10:08,690
idea conveyed in Ezekiel's writings is
3159
02:10:09,940 --> 02:10:10,940
nothing more than a concentric circle
3160
02:10:12,160 --> 02:10:13,160
pretty much like any wheel with a rim
3161
02:10:14,530 --> 02:10:15,530
it's not exactly a hi-tech idea the only
3162
02:10:18,100 --> 02:10:19,100
reason it's mentioned is because Ezekiel
3163
02:10:20,170 --> 02:10:21,170
is such a detail-oriented writer Daniel
3164
02:10:23,050 --> 02:10:24,050
doesn't go into such detail when he
3165
02:10:24,460 --> 02:10:25,460
describes the throne of God he just says
3166
02:10:26,470 --> 02:10:27,470
wheels besides that there are four
3167
02:10:29,170 --> 02:10:30,170
wheels that make up one unit so if
3168
02:10:31,660 --> 02:10:32,660
you're going to say a wheel within a
3169
02:10:33,100 --> 02:10:34,100
wheel is a UFO then you have to say that
3170
02:10:35,680 --> 02:10:36,680
UFOs only come in sets of four because
3171
02:10:38,410 --> 02:10:39,410
that is unambiguously what Ezekiel is
3172
02:10:40,990 --> 02:10:41,990
describing and these wheels are not
3173
02:10:43,090 --> 02:10:44,090
horizontal as if they were flying around
3174
02:10:45,070 --> 02:10:46,070
they are vertical just like they should
3175
02:10:47,470 --> 02:10:48,470
be if they were really wheels so we see
3176
02:10:50,380 --> 02:10:51,380
that this idea is refuted by number one
3177
02:10:52,240 --> 02:10:53,240
the consistent biblical motifs using
3178
02:10:55,630 --> 02:10:56,630
these elements to describe the throne of
3179
02:10:57,640 --> 02:10:58,640
God number two the thousands of pieces
3180
02:11:00,850 --> 02:11:01,850
of art from the ancient world that
3181
02:11:02,830 --> 02:11:03,830
depict Thrones as having the same
3182
02:11:04,810 --> 02:11:05,810
elements that Ezekiel describes and
3183
02:11:07,390 --> 02:11:08,390
number three all the logical problems
3184
02:11:09,550 --> 02:11:10,550
with the theory such as it being a coal
3185
02:11:11,470 --> 02:11:12,470
powered combustion engine
3186
02:11:16,100 --> 02:11:17,100
[Music]
3187
02:11:22,579 --> 02:11:23,579
atomic warfare among ancient
3188
02:11:24,659 --> 02:11:25,659
civilizations may sound like something
3189
02:11:27,599 --> 02:11:28,599
out of a science fiction novel but
3190
02:11:30,000 --> 02:11:31,000
descriptions of similar deadly
3191
02:11:31,710 --> 02:11:32,710
occurrences can be found in the very
3192
02:11:34,530 --> 02:11:35,530
same text dr. Oppenheimer quoted after
3193
02:11:37,199 --> 02:11:38,199
the New Mexico atomic test so the
3194
02:11:40,560 --> 02:11:41,560
ancient astronaut theory claims that the
3195
02:11:42,420 --> 02:11:43,420
mahabharata speaks of nuclear warfare
3196
02:11:44,750 --> 02:11:45,750
let's see what specifically they say it
3197
02:11:47,190 --> 02:11:48,190
says one reference that we have for
3198
02:11:50,250 --> 02:11:51,250
example speaks of these explosions that
3199
02:11:53,820 --> 02:11:54,820
were brighter than a thousand suns and
3200
02:11:57,170 --> 02:11:58,170
when these blasts occurred the Suns were
3201
02:12:01,110 --> 02:12:02,110
twirling in the air trees went up in
3202
02:12:04,349 --> 02:12:05,349
flames and it was just as mass
3203
02:12:06,300 --> 02:12:07,300
destruction after those blasts people
3204
02:12:10,590 --> 02:12:11,590
who survive start to lose their hair and
3205
02:12:13,829 --> 02:12:14,829
nails start to fall out I mean right
3206
02:12:17,099 --> 02:12:18,099
there we have a concise reference to
3207
02:12:19,409 --> 02:12:20,409
radiation poisoning nuclear fallout and
3208
02:12:22,349 --> 02:12:23,349
those texts are thousands of years old
3209
02:12:26,369 --> 02:12:27,369
the Mahabharata actually doesn't say any
3210
02:12:29,739 --> 02:12:30,739
of that these exact claims about the
3211
02:12:32,139 --> 02:12:33,139
hair and nails falling off and an
3212
02:12:34,329 --> 02:12:35,329
explosion brighter than a thousand suns
3213
02:12:35,980 --> 02:12:36,980
has been repeated by ancient astronaut
3214
02:12:38,500 --> 02:12:39,500
theorists so many times that they think
3215
02:12:40,360 --> 02:12:41,360
it's true but the origin of this line
3216
02:12:42,820 --> 02:12:43,820
was from a French book called mourning
3217
02:12:44,980 --> 02:12:45,980
of the magicians no one that makes this
3218
02:12:47,440 --> 02:12:48,440
claim will actually cite where in the
3219
02:12:49,929 --> 02:12:50,929
Mahabharata this claim appears which
3220
02:12:52,540 --> 02:12:53,540
makes it very difficult for people to
3221
02:12:54,190 --> 02:12:55,190
call them out on this because the
3222
02:12:56,320 --> 02:12:57,320
Mahabharata contains over 1.8 million
3223
02:12:59,170 --> 02:13:00,170
words so if you just say it's in there
3224
02:13:02,050 --> 02:13:03,050
somewhere just trust me you can pretty
3225
02:13:04,119 --> 02:13:05,119
much get away with anything as you might
3226
02:13:06,159 --> 02:13:07,159
have guessed by now they have a really
3227
02:13:07,750 --> 02:13:08,750
good reason for covering their tracks by
3228
02:13:10,030 --> 02:13:11,030
not citing a reference for instance
3229
02:13:12,400 --> 02:13:13,400
let's consider the claim about the
3230
02:13:13,960 --> 02:13:14,960
people's hair and nails falling out
3231
02:13:15,670 --> 02:13:16,670
because of this weapon first of all
3232
02:13:17,800 --> 02:13:18,800
there was no weapon involved in that
3233
02:13:19,480 --> 02:13:20,480
story it was part of a bad omen and this
3234
02:13:22,630 --> 02:13:23,630
is what it actually says quote the
3235
02:13:25,059 --> 02:13:26,059
streets swarmed with rats and mice
3236
02:13:27,119 --> 02:13:28,119
earthen pots showed cracks were broken
3237
02:13:30,190 --> 02:13:31,190
from no apparent cause at night the rats
3238
02:13:33,280 --> 02:13:34,280
and mice ate away the hair and nails of
3239
02:13:35,889 --> 02:13:36,889
slumbering men so rats chewed them off
3240
02:13:39,190 --> 02:13:40,190
it wasn't a result of nuclear fallout
3241
02:13:42,550 --> 02:13:43,550
what about the bomb blast that was
3242
02:13:44,829 --> 02:13:45,829
brighter than a thousand suns here's
3243
02:13:47,020 --> 02:13:48,020
what the passage actually says gratified
3244
02:13:49,510 --> 02:13:50,510
with him the holy one then showed you
3245
02:13:51,550 --> 02:13:52,550
Tonka that eternal Vaishnava form which
3246
02:13:54,489 --> 02:13:55,489
Dian Jaya of great intelligence had seen
3247
02:13:56,739 --> 02:13:57,739
you Tonka beheld the high-souled
3248
02:13:58,690 --> 02:13:59,690
Vasudeva of universal form endued with
3249
02:14:01,570 --> 02:14:02,570
mighty arms the effulgence of that form
3250
02:14:04,270 --> 02:14:05,270
was like that of a blazing fire or a
3251
02:14:06,369 --> 02:14:07,369
thousand suns it stood before him
3252
02:14:08,829 --> 02:14:09,829
filling all space it had faces on every
3253
02:14:11,559 --> 02:14:12,559
side behold the high and wonderful
3254
02:14:13,900 --> 02:14:14,900
Vaishnava form of Vishnu in fact seeing
3255
02:14:17,199 --> 02:14:18,199
the Supreme Lord and that guy's the
3256
02:14:19,000 --> 02:14:20,000
brahmana you tanka became filled with
3257
02:14:21,040 --> 02:14:22,040
wonder jason Colavito says the following
3258
02:14:23,290 --> 02:14:24,290
about this quote this passage which
3259
02:14:25,869 --> 02:14:26,869
mentions the ten thousand suns refers to
3260
02:14:28,150 --> 02:14:29,150
an appearance of Vishnu it is
3261
02:14:30,159 --> 02:14:31,159
representative of many many passages in
3262
02:14:32,469 --> 02:14:33,469
which to standard poetic line ten
3263
02:14:34,480 --> 02:14:35,480
thousand suns is used to describe a
3264
02:14:36,820 --> 02:14:37,820
deity it does not refer to the specific
3265
02:14:38,980 --> 02:14:39,980
flash of
3266
02:14:39,909 --> 02:14:40,909
nuclear blast unless one imagines the
3267
02:14:42,459 --> 02:14:43,459
gods to be exploding if you would like
3268
02:14:44,860 --> 02:14:45,860
to know more about the deceitful
3269
02:14:46,300 --> 02:14:47,300
misquoting of ancient texts as it
3270
02:14:48,760 --> 02:14:49,760
relates to this idea of ancient nuclear
3271
02:14:50,709 --> 02:14:51,709
weapons see Jason Calvados excellent
3272
02:14:53,439 --> 02:14:54,439
book ancient atom bombs fact fraud and
3273
02:14:56,829 --> 02:14:57,829
the myth of prehistoric nuclear warfare
3274
02:14:58,900 --> 02:14:59,900
let's move on to ancient aliens next
3275
02:15:01,630 --> 02:15:02,630
line of evidence for this point which is
3276
02:15:03,820 --> 02:15:04,820
all centered around an ancient city now
3277
02:15:06,249 --> 02:15:07,249
archaeological site called mohenjo-daro
3278
02:15:08,530 --> 02:15:09,530
in Pakistan ancient aliens claims that
3279
02:15:11,889 --> 02:15:12,889
there was a nuclear bomb dropped there
3280
02:15:13,510 --> 02:15:14,510
in the ancient past they give several
3281
02:15:15,610 --> 02:15:16,610
reasons to believe this skeletons were
3282
02:15:18,189 --> 02:15:19,189
found lying face down in the street many
3283
02:15:20,499 --> 02:15:21,499
holding hands their faces and body
3284
02:15:25,809 --> 02:15:26,809
positioning suggested they suffered a
3285
02:15:28,719 --> 02:15:29,719
sudden violent death
3286
02:15:32,660 --> 02:15:33,660
you have a culture of people who
3287
02:15:34,550 --> 02:15:35,550
literally were lying that industry
3288
02:15:36,580 --> 02:15:37,580
archaeologists have found human remains
3289
02:15:38,360 --> 02:15:39,360
and something big has happened to these
3290
02:15:40,550 --> 02:15:41,550
people why is there evidence that wild
3291
02:15:43,640 --> 02:15:44,640
animals avoided scavenging their remains
3292
02:15:46,280 --> 02:15:47,280
and why even after thousands of years
3293
02:15:50,570 --> 02:15:51,570
had their bones not decayed in certain
3294
02:15:55,550 --> 02:15:56,550
areas of that site you find increased
3295
02:15:58,750 --> 02:15:59,750
levels of radiation british researcher
3296
02:16:02,720 --> 02:16:03,720
david davenport claimed to have found a
3297
02:16:05,360 --> 02:16:06,360
50 yard wide epicenter at mohenjo-daro
3298
02:16:08,380 --> 02:16:09,380
where everything appeared to have been
3299
02:16:10,910 --> 02:16:11,910
fused through a transformative process
3300
02:16:12,860 --> 02:16:13,860
known as vitrification vitrification is
3301
02:16:17,000 --> 02:16:18,000
a process in which regular-type stone
3302
02:16:21,860 --> 02:16:22,860
gets molten into a magma state
3303
02:16:27,210 --> 02:16:28,210
and then it hardens again but once the
3304
02:16:30,840 --> 02:16:31,840
stone is hardened again it feels like
3305
02:16:33,719 --> 02:16:34,719
glass at mohenjo-daro we find evidence
3306
02:16:38,160 --> 02:16:39,160
of vitrification which could have only
3307
02:16:41,190 --> 02:16:42,190
been achieved if the material was
3308
02:16:44,219 --> 02:16:45,219
exposed to extreme heat by some type of
3309
02:16:48,179 --> 02:16:49,179
a blast
3310
02:16:49,380 --> 02:16:50,380
okay so let's list these points number
3311
02:16:52,020 --> 02:16:53,020
one skeletons one set holding hands
3312
02:16:55,140 --> 02:16:56,140
which they say appear to have died at
3313
02:16:57,210 --> 02:16:58,210
the same instant number two no evidence
3314
02:17:00,090 --> 02:17:01,090
of scavengers number three remarkably
3315
02:17:02,880 --> 02:17:03,880
well-preserved bones number four the
3316
02:17:05,880 --> 02:17:06,880
presence of radiation at the site and
3317
02:17:07,800 --> 02:17:08,800
number five an epicenter where
3318
02:17:10,110 --> 02:17:11,110
vitrification is present that all sounds
3319
02:17:12,630 --> 02:17:13,630
like a pretty convincing case for
3320
02:17:14,040 --> 02:17:15,040
nuclear warfare at mohenjo-daro well
3321
02:17:17,070 --> 02:17:18,070
assuming any of that is true
3322
02:17:19,080 --> 02:17:20,080
and considering ancient aliens track
3323
02:17:21,480 --> 02:17:22,480
record we had better investigate these
3324
02:17:23,580 --> 02:17:24,580
claims one of the first problems with
3325
02:17:25,890 --> 02:17:26,890
this theory is the city itself its
3326
02:17:28,230 --> 02:17:29,230
buildings are still intact
3327
02:17:30,210 --> 02:17:31,210
some of which are 15 feet high and
3328
02:17:32,340 --> 02:17:33,340
they're made out of mud so you would
3329
02:17:34,740 --> 02:17:35,740
think that a nuclear weapon whose main
3330
02:17:36,780 --> 02:17:37,780
destructive power is in the force of its
3331
02:17:39,030 --> 02:17:40,030
blast wave would be able to topple a few
3332
02:17:41,400 --> 02:17:42,400
mud brick buildings but moving on what
3333
02:17:44,520 --> 02:17:45,520
about these skeletons ancient aliens
3334
02:17:46,800 --> 02:17:47,800
makes it sound like a lot of skeletons
3335
02:17:48,240 --> 02:17:49,240
were found when in fact only 37 were
3336
02:17:50,940 --> 02:17:51,940
found and not only do these 37 bodies
3337
02:17:53,580 --> 02:17:54,580
show no signs of dying suddenly the date
3338
02:17:56,880 --> 02:17:57,880
of their deaths varies sometimes as much
3339
02:17:59,160 --> 02:18:00,160
as 1,000 years from one another none of
3340
02:18:01,740 --> 02:18:02,740
the archaeologists involved thought
3341
02:18:03,600 --> 02:18:04,600
these skeletons suggested a sudden
3342
02:18:05,580 --> 02:18:06,580
catastrophe and to make matters worse
3343
02:18:07,860 --> 02:18:08,860
for ancient aliens all of the bodies
3344
02:18:10,469 --> 02:18:11,469
were buried the idea that these bodies
3345
02:18:12,840 --> 02:18:13,840
were laying around in the streets isn't
3346
02:18:14,610 --> 02:18:15,610
true in fact almost everything that
3347
02:18:16,890 --> 02:18:17,890
ancient aliens said about this is
3348
02:18:18,510 --> 02:18:19,510
completely untrue
3349
02:18:19,860 --> 02:18:20,860
the fact that they didn't die in the
3350
02:18:21,840 --> 02:18:22,840
same instant and the fact that they were
3351
02:18:23,880 --> 02:18:24,880
buried in the normal way explains why
3352
02:18:26,670 --> 02:18:27,670
there was no signs of scavengers well
3353
02:18:28,980 --> 02:18:29,980
what about the remarkably well-preserved
3354
02:18:30,420 --> 02:18:31,420
bones this can be chalked up to
3355
02:18:33,150 --> 02:18:34,150
mohenjo-daro being literally one of the
3356
02:18:35,700 --> 02:18:36,700
hottest places on earth with
3357
02:18:37,469 --> 02:18:38,469
temperatures reaching 128 degrees
3358
02:18:40,620 --> 02:18:41,620
because it's also really dry it's the
3359
02:18:42,990 --> 02:18:43,990
perfect climate for preservation in fact
3360
02:18:45,780 --> 02:18:46,780
this is also probably the reason why the
3361
02:18:47,820 --> 02:18:48,820
mud brick buildings are still standing
3362
02:18:49,740 --> 02:18:50,740
as well the problem with the claims
3363
02:18:51,870 --> 02:18:52,870
about there being radiation at
3364
02:18:53,520 --> 02:18:54,520
mohenjo-daro is that we don't know where
3365
02:18:55,950 --> 02:18:56,950
this claim came from it certainly wasn't
3366
02:18:58,350 --> 02:18:59,350
any of the scientists involved with the
3367
02:19:00,210 --> 02:19:01,210
mohenjo-daro digs that claimed it and
3368
02:19:01,889 --> 02:19:02,889
the ancient astronaut theorists don't
3369
02:19:04,080 --> 02:19:05,080
cite any references with which to check
3370
02:19:06,210 --> 02:19:07,210
this claim so until the presence of
3371
02:19:08,820 --> 02:19:09,820
radiation can be proven to exist at the
3372
02:19:11,160 --> 02:19:12,160
site there is no reason to address it
3373
02:19:13,230 --> 02:19:14,230
well what about this epicenter of
3374
02:19:15,600 --> 02:19:16,600
vitrification
3375
02:19:16,560 --> 02:19:17,560
well according to archaeologists it
3376
02:19:18,780 --> 02:19:19,780
wasn't exactly an epicenter of anything
3377
02:19:20,850 --> 02:19:21,850
it was a small amount of broken pottery
3378
02:19:23,190 --> 02:19:24,190
which because pottery is put in a fire
3379
02:19:26,040 --> 02:19:27,040
to harden it it contains a specific type
3380
02:19:28,560 --> 02:19:29,560
of vitrification called frit they threw
3381
02:19:31,050 --> 02:19:32,050
in the word epicenter to make it seem
3382
02:19:33,090 --> 02:19:34,090
more legitimate but there is no
3383
02:19:35,070 --> 02:19:36,070
epicenter of anything except pottery at
3384
02:19:37,590 --> 02:19:38,590
this site but this brings up an
3385
02:19:39,600 --> 02:19:40,600
important point mohenjo-daro is not the
3386
02:19:42,300 --> 02:19:43,300
only site that ancient astronaut
3387
02:19:44,100 --> 02:19:45,100
theorists claim
3388
02:19:44,880 --> 02:19:45,880
vitrification exists as a result of
3389
02:19:47,639 --> 02:19:48,639
ancient atom bombs so it would be
3390
02:19:49,950 --> 02:19:50,950
instructive for us to look at sand
3391
02:19:51,720 --> 02:19:52,720
vitrification and its different causes
3392
02:19:54,090 --> 02:19:55,090
in order to address those claims for
3393
02:19:56,370 --> 02:19:57,370
example there is fulgurite which is sand
3394
02:19:59,190 --> 02:20:00,190
fused by a lightning bolt
3395
02:20:00,900 --> 02:20:01,900
there is tektite which is sand fused by
3396
02:20:03,780 --> 02:20:04,780
the compressed force of a meteorite
3397
02:20:05,910 --> 02:20:06,910
there is frit which is partially fused
3398
02:20:08,430 --> 02:20:09,430
sand and other chemicals in the presence
3399
02:20:10,740 --> 02:20:11,740
of heated pottery that's what was found
3400
02:20:12,750 --> 02:20:13,750
at mohenjo-daro finally there is
3401
02:20:14,940 --> 02:20:15,940
Trinitite which is vitrified sand caused
3402
02:20:17,851 --> 02:20:18,851
by a nuclear explosion
3403
02:20:19,380 --> 02:20:20,380
so we first saw that the Mahabharata did
3404
02:20:22,140 --> 02:20:23,140
not claim anything like what ancient
3405
02:20:24,180 --> 02:20:25,180
aliens said it did we saw that the
3406
02:20:26,340 --> 02:20:27,340
bodies at mohenjo-daro were not killed
3407
02:20:28,530 --> 02:20:29,530
in a sudden disaster in fact they died a
3408
02:20:30,960 --> 02:20:31,960
thousand years apart in some cases and
3409
02:20:33,030 --> 02:20:34,030
were clearly buried the cases of
3410
02:20:35,640 --> 02:20:36,640
radiation are a non-factor the
3411
02:20:37,860 --> 02:20:38,860
vitrification was caused by pottery and
3412
02:20:39,960 --> 02:20:40,960
we noted that if it was a nuclear
3413
02:20:41,820 --> 02:20:42,820
explosion it didn't even knock down the
3414
02:20:44,280 --> 02:20:45,280
mud brick houses which are still
3415
02:20:45,870 --> 02:20:46,870
standing at the site
3416
02:20:50,060 --> 02:20:51,060
[Music]
3417
02:20:55,960 --> 02:20:56,960
ancient Sanskrit texts dating back as
3418
02:20:59,090 --> 02:21:00,090
far as 6000 BC Wow
3419
02:21:01,520 --> 02:21:02,520
6000 BC really in reality the oldest of
3420
02:21:05,720 --> 02:21:06,720
these texts would be the Vedas which
3421
02:21:07,670 --> 02:21:08,670
date to between 500 and 1500 BC ancient
3422
02:21:11,780 --> 02:21:12,780
aliens just adds another 5000 years as
3423
02:21:14,660 --> 02:21:15,660
if no one would notice
3424
02:21:16,040 --> 02:21:17,040
they're actually even contradicting
3425
02:21:18,200 --> 02:21:19,200
themselves with the state because in
3426
02:21:20,480 --> 02:21:21,480
another episode they correctly state
3427
02:21:22,490 --> 02:21:23,490
that the oldest writings in the world
3428
02:21:24,200 --> 02:21:25,200
are the Sumerian tablets the oldest of
3429
02:21:26,930 --> 02:21:27,930
which date to about 4000 BC so why are
3430
02:21:30,530 --> 02:21:31,530
they now saying that there are some
3431
02:21:31,940 --> 02:21:32,940
writings 2,000 years older than the
3432
02:21:34,580 --> 02:21:35,580
oldest writings I don't think anyone
3433
02:21:36,980 --> 02:21:37,980
knows describing varying but vivid
3434
02:21:39,800 --> 02:21:40,800
detail flying machines called Vimanas
3435
02:21:43,720 --> 02:21:44,720
Vimanas aeroplanes and they are powered
3436
02:21:48,620 --> 02:21:49,620
by some jet engines this seems to be
3437
02:21:52,730 --> 02:21:53,730
true because all the description of the
3438
02:21:56,900 --> 02:21:57,900
flight behavior elephants ran away in
3439
02:22:00,530 --> 02:22:01,530
panic
3440
02:22:03,170 --> 02:22:04,170
grass was thrown out because there was a
3441
02:22:06,590 --> 02:22:07,590
lot of pressure from behind those
3442
02:22:08,989 --> 02:22:09,989
Vimanas
3443
02:22:11,630 --> 02:22:12,630
so that we can say this is the
3444
02:22:13,609 --> 02:22:14,609
description of the spaceship
3445
02:22:20,620 --> 02:22:21,620
the word vimana literally means having
3446
02:22:23,900 --> 02:22:24,900
been measured out and it was related to
3447
02:22:26,510 --> 02:22:27,510
the King's palaces and was referring to
3448
02:22:29,090 --> 02:22:30,090
their intricate construction later on as
3449
02:22:32,180 --> 02:22:33,180
a result the word became synonymous with
3450
02:22:34,340 --> 02:22:35,340
palaces in general and because of that
3451
02:22:36,890 --> 02:22:37,890
it was used to refer to the palaces of
3452
02:22:39,170 --> 02:22:40,170
the gods as well and yes these palaces
3453
02:22:42,230 --> 02:22:43,230
of the gods were in the heavens and they
3454
02:22:44,420 --> 02:22:45,420
could fly but as we look into this it
3455
02:22:46,760 --> 02:22:47,760
will be clear that some of the Vimanas
3456
02:22:48,680 --> 02:22:49,680
of the gods really were huge palaces
3457
02:22:51,140 --> 02:22:52,140
with gardens and terraces and golden
3458
02:22:53,810 --> 02:22:54,810
staircases then because the palaces of
3459
02:22:56,540 --> 02:22:57,540
the Gods flew the word gradually became
3460
02:22:59,480 --> 02:23:00,480
used for anything that could fly either
3461
02:23:01,790 --> 02:23:02,790
in mythology or in reality so
3462
02:23:04,430 --> 02:23:05,430
understanding the palace concept in the
3463
02:23:06,680 --> 02:23:07,680
development of the word vimana is
3464
02:23:08,480 --> 02:23:09,480
helpful in understanding what we will be
3465
02:23:10,790 --> 02:23:11,790
looking at but before we look into the
3466
02:23:12,980 --> 02:23:13,980
real descriptions of Vimanas in the
3467
02:23:14,840 --> 02:23:15,840
Vedic text we must first examine a fake
3468
02:23:17,900 --> 02:23:18,900
text because almost everything that
3469
02:23:20,150 --> 02:23:21,150
ancient alien says about Vimanas comes
3470
02:23:23,030 --> 02:23:24,030
from a totally bogus text called the
3471
02:23:25,940 --> 02:23:26,940
vimana cache Astra although mainstream
3472
02:23:28,160 --> 02:23:29,160
historians believe the vimana texts are
3473
02:23:30,710 --> 02:23:31,710
myths many of the documents contain
3474
02:23:32,990 --> 02:23:33,990
passages that seem to describe modern
3475
02:23:35,540 --> 02:23:36,540
machinery and technology the venetie
3476
02:23:38,480 --> 02:23:39,480
Shastra goes into metals that are used
3477
02:23:41,360 --> 02:23:42,360
in these craft it talks about
3478
02:23:44,080 --> 02:23:45,080
electricity and power sources it talks
3479
02:23:47,540 --> 02:23:48,540
about the pilots and the clothing they
3480
02:23:49,850 --> 02:23:50,850
have to wear it talks about the food
3481
02:23:52,220 --> 02:23:53,220
that they eat it talks even about the
3482
02:23:54,440 --> 02:23:55,440
weapons that are kept on these airships
3483
02:23:57,050 --> 02:23:58,050
the flight menus of the Vimanas are
3484
02:24:00,710 --> 02:24:01,710
quite similar to the flight manuals you
3485
02:24:02,930 --> 02:24:03,930
find in the modern passenger flight
3486
02:24:05,660 --> 02:24:06,660
business or when you go to the military
3487
02:24:09,050 --> 02:24:10,050
jet engines of course they have also
3488
02:24:12,110 --> 02:24:13,110
flight menus because it's necessary for
3489
02:24:14,960 --> 02:24:15,960
a pilot to get knowledge about his plane
3490
02:24:19,550 --> 02:24:20,550
he wanted to fly was the vimana Koosh
3491
02:24:22,070 --> 02:24:23,070
Astra is not an actual ancient texts it
3492
02:24:25,040 --> 02:24:26,040
was channeled or dictated to the author
3493
02:24:28,130 --> 02:24:29,130
from the spirit world in 1918 the spirit
3494
02:24:32,420 --> 02:24:33,420
who suppose
3495
02:24:33,020 --> 02:24:34,020
dictated the text claimed to be an
3496
02:24:35,600 --> 02:24:36,600
ancient seer named bar Advaita who is
3497
02:24:38,600 --> 02:24:39,600
prominent in some ancient writings so I
3498
02:24:41,029 --> 02:24:42,029
guess that's what's supposed to give
3499
02:24:42,859 --> 02:24:43,859
this text credibility that is the idea
3500
02:24:45,470 --> 02:24:46,470
that the ghost of someone ancient
3501
02:24:47,510 --> 02:24:48,510
supposedly dictated it but they're not
3502
02:24:50,180 --> 02:24:51,180
even sure that version of the story is
3503
02:24:52,069 --> 02:24:53,069
true because the first mention of any of
3504
02:24:54,350 --> 02:24:55,350
this is in 1952 by the guy who
3505
02:24:57,199 --> 02:24:58,199
supposedly found and translated the text
3506
02:24:59,930 --> 02:25:00,930
from 1918 so as far as anyone knows he
3507
02:25:03,170 --> 02:25:04,170
could have made the whole channeled by a
3508
02:25:04,819 --> 02:25:05,819
famous ghost story up in 1952 the text
3509
02:25:08,300 --> 02:25:09,300
itself reads like a technical manual
3510
02:25:10,449 --> 02:25:11,449
describing the details of how Vimanas
3511
02:25:13,250 --> 02:25:14,250
operated it includes the description of
3512
02:25:15,890 --> 02:25:16,890
what must have sounded like a really
3513
02:25:17,869 --> 02:25:18,869
technical idea in 1918 war 1952 called a
3514
02:25:21,949 --> 02:25:22,949
mercury vortex engine ancient alien
3515
02:25:24,979 --> 02:25:25,979
spends a huge amount of time talking
3516
02:25:26,689 --> 02:25:27,689
about this idea the V Monica Shastra for
3517
02:25:29,899 --> 02:25:30,899
science of aeronautics indicates Vimanas
3518
02:25:33,260 --> 02:25:34,260
used a propulsion system based on a
3519
02:25:35,180 --> 02:25:36,180
combination of gyroscopes electricity
3520
02:25:37,880 --> 02:25:38,880
and mercury is this possible mercury is
3521
02:25:42,529 --> 02:25:43,529
an unusual element mercury is metal it's
3522
02:25:46,939 --> 02:25:47,939
also a liquid and is a conductor of
3523
02:25:52,699 --> 02:25:53,699
electricity the V Monica Shastra
3524
02:25:55,939 --> 02:25:56,939
suggests b---minus were powered by
3525
02:25:57,649 --> 02:25:58,649
several gyroscopes placed inside a
3526
02:26:00,529 --> 02:26:01,529
sealed liquid mercury vortex
3527
02:26:03,970 --> 02:26:04,970
one of the text talks about mercury
3528
02:26:08,340 --> 02:26:09,340
rotating and driving some sort of a
3529
02:26:13,029 --> 02:26:14,029
powerful wind or a windmill effect that
3530
02:26:17,409 --> 02:26:18,409
might be some sort of what we call a
3531
02:26:20,409 --> 02:26:21,409
flywheel energy storage where you have a
3532
02:26:23,229 --> 02:26:24,229
spinning disc and then you extract
3533
02:26:24,819 --> 02:26:25,819
energy from it slowly that would be the
3534
02:26:27,729 --> 02:26:28,729
mercury and then that could be used to
3535
02:26:30,909 --> 02:26:31,909
drive some sort of a propeller or what
3536
02:26:33,699 --> 02:26:34,699
call it ducted fan some of the other
3537
02:26:36,069 --> 02:26:37,069
things that this text describes are
3538
02:26:37,779 --> 02:26:38,779
equally scientific sounding it even
3539
02:26:40,300 --> 02:26:41,300
includes very technical drawings of the
3540
02:26:42,609 --> 02:26:43,609
things that it's talking about but when
3541
02:26:44,590 --> 02:26:45,590
you look closer at all this it becomes
3542
02:26:46,449 --> 02:26:47,449
obvious that it is physically impossible
3543
02:26:48,729 --> 02:26:49,729
for any of these craft to get off the
3544
02:26:50,920 --> 02:26:51,920
ground in fact 20 years later in 1974 a
3545
02:26:54,819 --> 02:26:55,819
study was done on the texts and the
3546
02:26:57,039 --> 02:26:58,039
drawings by the aeronautical and
3547
02:26:58,899 --> 02:26:59,899
mechanical institute of science in
3548
02:27:01,060 --> 02:27:02,060
bangla door India I will quote wilhunt
3549
02:27:03,760 --> 02:27:04,760
an American freelance writer based in
3550
02:27:05,770 --> 02:27:06,770
India for a description of how that
3551
02:27:07,600 --> 02:27:08,600
study came out quote as thoroughly as it
3552
02:27:10,479 --> 02:27:11,479
had been written the committee just as
3553
02:27:12,430 --> 02:27:13,430
thoroughly dismantled the study in an
3554
02:27:14,439 --> 02:27:15,439
essay called a critical study of the
3555
02:27:16,449 --> 02:27:17,449
work of a Monica Shastra they questioned
3556
02:27:19,060 --> 02:27:20,060
whether the author whoever that may have
3557
02:27:20,890 --> 02:27:21,890
been had any grasp of basic physics
3558
02:27:23,590 --> 02:27:24,590
chemistry and electricity not to mention
3559
02:27:26,350 --> 02:27:27,350
the quote disciplines of aeronautics
3560
02:27:28,479 --> 02:27:29,479
aerodynamics aeronautical structures
3561
02:27:30,459 --> 02:27:31,459
propulsive devices materials and
3562
02:27:32,800 --> 02:27:33,800
metallurgy their conclusion quote none
3563
02:27:35,709 --> 02:27:36,709
of the planes has properties or
3564
02:27:37,180 --> 02:27:38,180
capabilities of being flown the
3565
02:27:39,159 --> 02:27:40,159
geometries are unimaginably horrendous
3566
02:27:41,529 --> 02:27:42,529
from the point of view of flying and the
3567
02:27:43,569 --> 02:27:44,569
principles of propulsion make them
3568
02:27:45,430 --> 02:27:46,430
resist rather than assist flying another
3569
02:27:48,850 --> 02:27:49,850
writer
3570
02:27:49,300 --> 02:27:50,300
JB hare writing for the sacred text
3571
02:27:51,699 --> 02:27:52,699
archive said the following of the craft
3572
02:27:53,739 --> 02:27:54,739
in the vimana Shastra quote they are
3573
02:27:56,350 --> 02:27:57,350
absurdly non aerodynamic brutalist
3574
02:27:58,779 --> 02:27:59,779
wedding cakes with minarets huge
3575
02:28:01,359 --> 02:28:02,359
ornithopter wings and dinky propellers I
3576
02:28:04,090 --> 02:28:05,090
have a feeling that even though 90% of
3577
02:28:06,819 --> 02:28:07,819
the information that ancient aliens
3578
02:28:08,709 --> 02:28:09,709
presents on Vimanas comes from this text
3579
02:28:11,050 --> 02:28:12,050
they realize that it has been thoroughly
3580
02:28:13,119 --> 02:28:14,119
discredited and so in an odd twist after
3581
02:28:16,600 --> 02:28:17,600
spending five minutes on
3582
02:28:17,859 --> 02:28:18,859
how great the idea of a mercury vortex
3583
02:28:20,319 --> 02:28:21,319
engine would be they then let everyone
3584
02:28:22,390 --> 02:28:23,390
know that the idea wouldn't actually
3585
02:28:24,399 --> 02:28:25,399
work they stopped short however of
3586
02:28:27,100 --> 02:28:28,100
saying that there's anything wrong with
3587
02:28:28,390 --> 02:28:29,390
this text they just say that there may
3588
02:28:30,640 --> 02:28:31,640
have been a problem with the translation
3589
02:28:32,499 --> 02:28:33,499
of a word or two flywheel energy storage
3590
02:28:36,669 --> 02:28:37,669
systems however tend to lose power
3591
02:28:39,399 --> 02:28:40,399
quickly to navigate across space in size
3592
02:28:43,239 --> 02:28:44,239
would have to be enormous it's it's not
3593
02:28:47,199 --> 02:28:48,199
at all clear that this would be a
3594
02:28:48,760 --> 02:28:49,760
practical device now maybe the people
3595
02:28:52,180 --> 02:28:53,180
are trying to describe something that
3596
02:28:55,659 --> 02:28:56,659
kind of looked like this to them it
3597
02:28:57,850 --> 02:28:58,850
might not have actually been mercury it
3598
02:28:59,709 --> 02:29:00,709
might have been some other liquid metal
3599
02:29:01,869 --> 02:29:02,869
the mercury vortex engine is perhaps a
3600
02:29:06,479 --> 02:29:07,479
failure in the translation because the
3601
02:29:11,279 --> 02:29:12,279
vortex is not a material quite suitable
3602
02:29:15,939 --> 02:29:16,939
to jet engine so let's move on to the
3603
02:29:19,239 --> 02:29:20,239
mentions of Vimanas in the actual
3604
02:29:21,069 --> 02:29:22,069
ancient Vedic texts so as I've already
3605
02:29:23,919 --> 02:29:24,919
mentioned the word vimana came to mean
3606
02:29:26,169 --> 02:29:27,169
Pallas and when it was the palace of a
3607
02:29:29,020 --> 02:29:30,020
god it was usually capable of flying
3608
02:29:31,569 --> 02:29:32,569
around when we look at the development
3609
02:29:34,149 --> 02:29:35,149
of Vimanas chronologically the mystery
3610
02:29:36,939 --> 02:29:37,939
surrounding them vanishes first of all
3611
02:29:39,579 --> 02:29:40,579
they were not even mentioned in the
3612
02:29:41,079 --> 02:29:42,079
earlier texts and when they finally were
3613
02:29:43,629 --> 02:29:44,629
mentioned the next thousand years of
3614
02:29:45,850 --> 02:29:46,850
their being mentioned always included
3615
02:29:47,709 --> 02:29:48,709
them having wheels and being drawn by
3616
02:29:49,959 --> 02:29:50,959
horses
3617
02:29:50,499 --> 02:29:51,499
not exactly a mercury vortex engine then
3618
02:29:53,890 --> 02:29:54,890
around 500 BC the chariots lose their
3619
02:29:56,949 --> 02:29:57,949
horses and are depicted as flying on
3620
02:29:59,319 --> 02:30:00,319
their own
3621
02:29:59,829 --> 02:30:00,829
Jason Colavito says the following about
3622
02:30:02,169 --> 02:30:03,169
the first mentions of Vimanas without
3623
02:30:04,270 --> 02:30:05,270
horses quote the very first of these is
3624
02:30:07,149 --> 02:30:08,149
the flying chariot of the earthly king
3625
02:30:09,489 --> 02:30:10,489
ravana called pushpaka by the time of
3626
02:30:12,609 --> 02:30:13,609
the mahabharata circa 400 BCE these
3627
02:30:15,789 --> 02:30:16,789
flying chariots had grown in size one
3628
02:30:18,369 --> 02:30:19,369
was now described as twelve cubits in
3629
02:30:20,439 --> 02:30:21,439
circumference but they never lost their
3630
02:30:22,449 --> 02:30:23,449
large wheels that marked them as derived
3631
02:30:24,909 --> 02:30:25,909
from earthly horse-drawn chariots it's
3632
02:30:27,999 --> 02:30:28,999
also interesting to see that ancient
3633
02:30:30,159 --> 02:30:31,159
astronaut theorists
3634
02:30:31,540 --> 02:30:32,540
have to distort the actual descriptions
3635
02:30:34,120 --> 02:30:35,120
of Vimanas in the Vedic text in order to
3636
02:30:36,850 --> 02:30:37,850
make them sound like UFOs for example
3637
02:30:39,310 --> 02:30:40,310
the following is a quote from David
3638
02:30:41,080 --> 02:30:42,080
Childress's book where he's supposed to
3639
02:30:43,240 --> 02:30:44,240
be quoting a description of a vimana
3640
02:30:45,040 --> 02:30:46,040
from an ancient text we'll read what he
3641
02:30:47,710 --> 02:30:48,710
tells his readers what it says and then
3642
02:30:49,960 --> 02:30:50,960
we will read the actual ancient text and
3643
02:30:52,180 --> 02:30:53,180
note the differences first let's hear
3644
02:30:54,460 --> 02:30:55,460
Childress's version quote when morning
3645
02:30:56,890 --> 02:30:57,890
dawned Rama taking the celestial car
3646
02:30:59,439 --> 02:31:00,439
pushpaka had sent to him by the fish and
3647
02:31:01,899 --> 02:31:02,899
stood ready to depart self-propelled was
3648
02:31:04,990 --> 02:31:05,990
that car it was large and finely painted
3649
02:31:07,779 --> 02:31:08,779
it had two stories and many chambers
3650
02:31:09,790 --> 02:31:10,790
with windows and was draped with flags
3651
02:31:12,279 --> 02:31:13,279
and banners it gave forth a melodious
3652
02:31:14,710 --> 02:31:15,710
sound as it coursed along its airy way
3653
02:31:17,410 --> 02:31:18,410
and now here's what the actual Ramayana
3654
02:31:19,960 --> 02:31:20,960
says quote and the mighty monkey
3655
02:31:22,479 --> 02:31:23,479
ascended the splendid car pushpaka
3656
02:31:24,750 --> 02:31:25,750
containing figures of wolves made of
3657
02:31:27,910 --> 02:31:28,910
carts whare and here Anya graced with
3658
02:31:31,090 --> 02:31:32,090
ranges of goodly pillars as if blazing
3659
02:31:34,149 --> 02:31:35,149
and splendor throughout garnished with
3660
02:31:36,130 --> 02:31:37,130
narrow secret rooms in saloons piercing
3661
02:31:38,770 --> 02:31:39,770
the heavens and resembling Mero or
3662
02:31:40,660 --> 02:31:41,660
Mandara and like unto the flaming Sun
3663
02:31:43,290 --> 02:31:44,290
skillfully reared by Vic walk ARMA with
3664
02:31:46,330 --> 02:31:47,330
golden staircases and graceful and grand
3665
02:31:48,939 --> 02:31:49,939
Ray's seize rows of golden and crystal
3666
02:31:52,029 --> 02:31:53,029
windows and dais is composed of
3667
02:31:54,100 --> 02:31:55,100
sapphires emeralds and other superb gems
3668
02:31:57,240 --> 02:31:58,240
embellished with Noble vid room --is
3669
02:31:59,560 --> 02:32:00,560
costly stones and round pearls and also
3670
02:32:03,250 --> 02:32:04,250
with plastered terraces pasted with red
3671

sandal like unto gold and furnished with
3672
02:32:08,710 --> 02:32:09,710
the sacred aroma and resembling the Sun
3673
02:32:10,990 --> 02:32:11,990
new risen Colavito says of this quote
3674
02:32:13,330 --> 02:32:14,330
elsewhere it is described as being
3675
02:32:15,279 --> 02:32:16,279
filled with fruit trees and sometimes is
3676
02:32:17,439 --> 02:32:18,439
drawn by geese do you know many UFOs
3677
02:32:20,109 --> 02:32:21,109
with plastered terraces and red paint in
3678
02:32:22,630 --> 02:32:23,630
summary most of what ancient aliens uses
3679
02:32:25,720 --> 02:32:26,720
on this point is from a bogus 20th
3680
02:32:28,240 --> 02:32:29,240
century channeled text which they
3681
02:32:30,670 --> 02:32:31,670
dishonestly present as an ancient text
3682
02:32:32,859 --> 02:32:33,859
and even the real descriptions of
3683
02:32:35,170 --> 02:32:36,170
Vimanas get some tweaking by them in
3684
02:32:37,420 --> 02:32:38,420
order to make it sound like a UFO the
3685
02:32:39,850 --> 02:32:40,850
development of the idea of Vimanas in
3686
02:32:42,069 --> 02:32:43,069
Hindu mythology can be traced easily
3687
02:32:45,240 --> 02:32:46,240
it loses all of its intrigue for the
3688
02:32:47,400 --> 02:32:48,400
ancient astronaut theorists when you do
3689
02:32:49,620 --> 02:32:50,620
that
3690
02:32:52,890 --> 02:32:53,890
[Music]
3691
02:33:05,939 --> 02:33:06,939
in the ancient texts of Sumeria we have
3692
02:33:11,729 --> 02:33:12,729
descriptions of these beings descending
3693
02:33:15,819 --> 02:33:16,819
from the sky called the Anunnaki
3694
02:33:19,780 --> 02:33:20,780
the term Anunnaki means those who from
3695
02:33:23,920 --> 02:33:24,920
the heavens came this is entirely wrong
3696
02:33:27,280 --> 02:33:28,280
the word Anunnaki means princely seed or
3697
02:33:30,100 --> 02:33:31,100
princely blood the idea is that the
3698
02:33:32,350 --> 02:33:33,350
Anunnaki were direct creations of Anu
3699
02:33:35,170 --> 02:33:36,170
who was regarded as the father and king
3700
02:33:37,810 --> 02:33:38,810
of the gods as we will see this is the
3701
02:33:39,939 --> 02:33:40,939
main idea associated with the Anunnaki
3702
02:33:42,010 --> 02:33:43,010
in the minds of the Sumerians that is
3703
02:33:44,590 --> 02:33:45,590
that the Anunnaki were directly created
3704
02:33:46,780 --> 02:33:47,780
by Anu and so it makes sense that even
3705
02:33:49,390 --> 02:33:50,390
their name reflects this idea that is
3706
02:33:51,760 --> 02:33:52,760
that they were the offspring of the
3707
02:33:53,770 --> 02:33:54,770
Prince the term itself means of royal
3708
02:33:56,560 --> 02:33:57,560
seed or princely seed because the
3709
02:33:59,770 --> 02:34:00,770
Anunnaki were considered the offspring
3710
02:34:01,810 --> 02:34:02,810
of Anu or on the great God of heaven and
3711
02:34:05,410 --> 02:34:06,410
also we have again Anunnaki they were
3712
02:34:08,890 --> 02:34:09,890
also the offspring of on and his consort
3713
02:34:11,080 --> 02:34:12,080
Keith heaven and earth these again this
3714
02:34:14,109 --> 02:34:15,109
divine coupling the way the
3715
02:34:15,580 --> 02:34:16,580
Mesopotamians conceived their pantheon
3716
02:34:18,460 --> 02:34:19,460
so if the term Anunnaki means princely
3717
02:34:21,189 --> 02:34:22,189
seed or offspring of the Prince how is
3718
02:34:23,620 --> 02:34:24,620
it that ancient aliens says that the
3719
02:34:25,149 --> 02:34:26,149
word Anunnaki means those who from
3720
02:34:26,950 --> 02:34:27,950
heaven to earth came the short answer is
3721
02:34:29,290 --> 02:34:30,290
that everything that ancient alien says
3722
02:34:31,300 --> 02:34:32,300
here about the Anunnaki comes from a man
3723
02:34:33,640 --> 02:34:34,640
named zecharia sitchin Sitchin wrote
3724
02:34:35,859 --> 02:34:36,859
many books claiming that the Anunnaki
3725
02:34:37,899 --> 02:34:38,899
were really aliens unfortunately at the
3726
02:34:40,359 --> 02:34:41,359
time that he wrote this in the 70s there
3727
02:34:42,729 --> 02:34:43,729
weren't many ways for ordinary people to
3728
02:34:44,859 --> 02:34:45,859
see if what he was saying was true or
3729
02:34:46,689 --> 02:34:47,689
not to put it simply citrons translation
3730
02:34:49,689 --> 02:34:50,689
of the word Anunnaki is wrong now you'll
3731
02:34:52,510 --> 02:34:53,510
often read especially in the writings of
3732
02:34:54,760 --> 02:34:55,760
zecharia sitchin that the Anunnaki means
3733
02:34:56,830 --> 02:34:57,830
something like you know they who from
3734
02:34:59,590 --> 02:35:00,590
heaven came or again some some other
3735
02:35:02,439 --> 02:35:03,439
sort of description that makes them
3736
02:35:05,080 --> 02:35:06,080
sound like aliens or extraterrestrials
3737
02:35:08,140 --> 02:35:09,140
there isn't a source on the planet by
3738
02:35:10,899 --> 02:35:11,899
any Sumerian scholar
3739
02:35:13,359 --> 02:35:14,359
that would agree with that definition
3740
02:35:15,279 --> 02:35:16,279
again it's not a difficult term I
3741
02:35:17,859 --> 02:35:18,859
personally don't think that such a new
3742
02:35:19,840 --> 02:35:20,840
sumerian at all because if you're going
3743
02:35:21,879 --> 02:35:22,879
to get even a term associated with a
3744
02:35:25,359 --> 02:35:26,359
very important group of deities if
3745
02:35:27,909 --> 02:35:28,909
you're not going to get that right then
3746
02:35:29,169 --> 02:35:30,169
I have to wonder what else you're gonna
3747
02:35:30,760 --> 02:35:31,760
get wrong Sitchin claimed to be an
3748
02:35:33,039 --> 02:35:34,039
expert on Sumerian writings yet we can
3749
02:35:35,409 --> 02:35:36,409
now see that he didn't seem to even
3750
02:35:36,939 --> 02:35:37,939
understand the basic grammar and
3751
02:35:38,709 --> 02:35:39,709
vocabulary rules of the Sumerian
3752
02:35:40,720 --> 02:35:41,720
language several real scholars
3753
02:35:42,640 --> 02:35:43,640
challenged him on his translations and
3754
02:35:44,409 --> 02:35:45,409
on his lack of any academic credentials
3755
02:35:47,409 --> 02:35:48,409
in the field pointing out that there is
3756
02:35:49,479 --> 02:35:50,479
no record of Sitchin having anything but
3757
02:35:51,459 --> 02:35:52,459
a journalism degree one such scholar is
3758
02:35:53,859 --> 02:35:54,859
dr. Michael Heizer to this day I haven't
3759
02:35:56,919 --> 02:35:57,919
been able to find nor have other people
3760
02:35:59,680 --> 02:36:00,680
whom I've asked help people who like
3761
02:36:02,319 --> 02:36:03,319
Sitchin I've never been able to find any
3762
02:36:04,479 --> 02:36:05,479
actual credentials of him knowing any of
3763
02:36:08,289 --> 02:36:09,289
the languages or being credentialed in
3764
02:36:10,779 --> 02:36:11,779
any way in ancient Near Eastern Studies
3765
02:36:12,760 --> 02:36:13,760
as we progress and look into some of the
3766
02:36:15,819 --> 02:36:16,819
specifics of Sitchin's views articulated
3767
02:36:18,369 --> 02:36:19,369
here by ancient aliens I think you will
3768
02:36:20,350 --> 02:36:21,350
see that determining the truth about
3769
02:36:21,909 --> 02:36:22,909
this difficult subject is not out of the
3770
02:36:24,489 --> 02:36:25,489
hands of the common person it says
3771
02:36:27,069 --> 02:36:28,069
word-for-word that these beings
3772
02:36:29,970 --> 02:36:30,970
descended in flying vehicles from the
3773
02:36:33,489 --> 02:36:34,489
sky this is a preposterous statement I
3774
02:36:37,209 --> 02:36:38,209
challenge anyone to produce this
3775
02:36:39,249 --> 02:36:40,249
word-for-word text you can do a search
3776
02:36:41,979 --> 02:36:42,979
online and literally see all the
3777
02:36:43,899 --> 02:36:44,899
references to the word Anunnaki in the
3778
02:36:45,819 --> 02:36:46,819
Sumerian texts the only time it refers
3779
02:36:48,430 --> 02:36:49,430
to anything even close to this is when
3780
02:36:50,890 --> 02:36:51,890
it talks about the Anunnaki being direct
3781
02:36:53,260 --> 02:36:54,260
creations of Anu in heaven a few
3782
02:36:56,140 --> 02:36:57,140
examples of this would be the UH nuna
3783
02:36:58,510 --> 02:36:59,510
the gods whom on conceived in the sky or
3784
02:37:02,169 --> 02:37:03,169
the a nuna whom on in the sky conceived
3785
02:37:06,539 --> 02:37:07,539
these texts emphasized the point that
3786
02:37:09,189 --> 02:37:10,189
the main Sumerian concept regarding the
3787
02:37:11,289 --> 02:37:12,289
Anunnaki was that they were directly
3788
02:37:13,689 --> 02:37:14,689
created by on that's what's being said
3789
02:37:15,850 --> 02:37:16,850
here the idea that the texts say that
3790
02:37:18,220 --> 02:37:19,220
they descended out of flying vehicles is
3791
02:37:20,529 --> 02:37:21,529
pure fiction and that's the nicest way
3792
02:37:23,649 --> 02:37:24,649
that I can think of to say that what
3793
02:37:25,810 --> 02:37:26,810
ancient aliens does here
3794
02:37:27,160 --> 02:37:28,160
they show pictures of the winged solar
3795
02:37:29,200 --> 02:37:30,200
disk as they talk about the Anunnaki and
3796
02:37:31,750 --> 02:37:32,750
I guess they expect the audience to
3797
02:37:33,910 --> 02:37:34,910
think that these texts speak of these
3798
02:37:36,130 --> 02:37:37,130
disks like spacecraft in the Sumerian
3799
02:37:38,230 --> 02:37:39,230
stories when in fact the solar disks
3800
02:37:40,630 --> 02:37:41,630
seen in the iconography are not
3801
02:37:42,670 --> 02:37:43,670
associated with the Anunnaki at all but
3802
02:37:45,280 --> 02:37:46,280
rather with the Sun and/or the Sun god
3803
02:37:47,351 --> 02:37:48,351
this is probably why su colos says the
3804
02:37:50,080 --> 02:37:51,080
following and they were always described
3805
02:37:52,180 --> 02:37:53,180
or depicted in floating above some quote
3806
02:37:57,280 --> 02:37:58,280
unquote
3807
02:37:57,670 --> 02:37:58,670
of regular people since the Anunnaki are
3808
02:38:00,851 --> 02:38:01,851
never depicted floating above people's
3809
02:38:02,680 --> 02:38:03,680
heads we can see that they want people
3810
02:38:04,510 --> 02:38:05,510
to believe that the solar disk icon
3811
02:38:06,400 --> 02:38:07,400
equals the Anunnaki spacecraft this is
3812
02:38:09,730 --> 02:38:10,730
wrong for several reasons number one the
3813
02:38:12,311 --> 02:38:13,311
solar disks in the Sumerian culture
3814
02:38:13,870 --> 02:38:14,870
really did represent the Sun or the Sun
3815
02:38:16,870 --> 02:38:17,870
God the Sun traveling across the sky
3816
02:38:19,330 --> 02:38:20,330
every day was seemed to have been
3817
02:38:21,010 --> 02:38:22,010
facilitated by wings on the Sun you need
3818
02:38:23,980 --> 02:38:24,980
to know that there is nothing in these
3819
02:38:25,540 --> 02:38:26,540
descriptions of the Sun in the Sumerian
3820
02:38:27,730 --> 02:38:28,730
texts that would suggest that they were
3821
02:38:29,620 --> 02:38:30,620
really talking about a UFO as boring as
3822
02:38:33,040 --> 02:38:34,040
it may be they were really talking about
3823
02:38:35,380 --> 02:38:36,380
the Sun one way to demonstrate this is
3824
02:38:37,930 --> 02:38:38,930
found in the Epic of Gilgamesh Gilgamesh
3825
02:38:40,720 --> 02:38:41,720
worships shamash the Sun God in order to
3826
02:38:43,450 --> 02:38:44,450
get favor for part of his journey and he
3827
02:38:45,970 --> 02:38:46,970
does this by facing east in the morning
3828
02:38:49,000 --> 02:38:50,000
that is in the direction of the Rising
3829
02:38:51,070 --> 02:38:52,070
Sun the idea that ancient aliens
3830
02:38:53,380 --> 02:38:54,380
proposes here that the Anunnaki actually
3831
02:38:55,630 --> 02:38:56,630
came out of the solar disks or that they
3832
02:38:57,700 --> 02:38:58,700
were pictured riding in them is just a
3833
02:38:59,860 --> 02:39:00,860
lie there's no way around it we can find
3834
02:39:02,470 --> 02:39:03,470
out only descriptions of the Anunnaki
3835
02:39:05,050 --> 02:39:06,050
but also depictions and we can seem in
3836
02:39:08,380 --> 02:39:09,380
statues in carvings so it's all very
3837
02:39:12,430 --> 02:39:13,430
interesting to see that those beings
3838
02:39:15,851 --> 02:39:16,851
look like modern-day space travelers
3839
02:39:18,550 --> 02:39:19,550
with weird suits some of them wore
3840
02:39:20,891 --> 02:39:21,891
wristwatches they had boots on and
3841
02:39:24,061 --> 02:39:25,061
helmets and above all wings all
3842
02:39:28,240 --> 02:39:29,240
throughout the ancient alien series they
3843
02:39:30,790 --> 02:39:31,790
show these pictures of Akkadian winged
3844
02:39:33,130 --> 02:39:34,130
genies and refer to them as Anunnaki but
3845
02:39:36,940 --> 02:39:37,940
funnily enough winged genies aren't
3846
02:39:39,010 --> 02:39:40,010
Anunnaki in fact these relief
3847
02:39:41,021 --> 02:39:42,021
aren't even Sumerian they're Akkadian
3848
02:39:42,910 --> 02:39:43,910
but hey while we're here we might as
3849
02:39:44,891 --> 02:39:45,891
well explain what's going on in these
3850
02:39:46,511 --> 02:39:47,511
images even though they have absolutely
3851
02:39:48,790 --> 02:39:49,790
nothing to do with the Anunnaki the
3852
02:39:51,160 --> 02:39:52,160
belief was that certain aspects of
3853
02:39:52,990 --> 02:39:53,990
nature were controlled by these winged
3854
02:39:54,940 --> 02:39:55,940
genies most notably they were
3855
02:39:56,891 --> 02:39:57,891
responsible for the fertilization of the
3856
02:39:59,021 --> 02:40:00,021
crops they were often depicted with a
3857
02:40:01,001 --> 02:40:02,001
bucket of pollen or water in one hand
3858
02:40:03,311 --> 02:40:04,311
and a group of male flowers or a
3859
02:40:05,351 --> 02:40:06,351
pinecone in the other hand they often
3860
02:40:08,021 --> 02:40:09,021
are depicted as fertilizing a date tree
3861
02:40:10,001 --> 02:40:11,001
which was a symbol of fruitfulness
3862
02:40:11,711 --> 02:40:12,711
sometimes they would be depicted as
3863
02:40:13,511 --> 02:40:14,511
being pointed at the king which because
3864
02:40:15,820 --> 02:40:16,820
of the accompanying inscriptions we know
3865
02:40:18,160 --> 02:40:19,160
means that the king was seen to be a
3866
02:40:19,751 --> 02:40:20,751
type of intermediary between the gods
3867
02:40:21,761 --> 02:40:22,761
and responsible for the fruitfulness of
3868
02:40:24,131 --> 02:40:25,131
the land and the people one way to
3869
02:40:26,501 --> 02:40:27,501
demonstrate this is by explaining what
3870
02:40:28,421 --> 02:40:29,421
ancient aliens calls a wristwatch first
3871
02:40:31,271 --> 02:40:32,271
you should take note that if this is a
3872
02:40:32,830 --> 02:40:33,830
watch
3873
02:40:33,490 --> 02:40:34,490
then these genies were serious about
3874
02:40:35,351 --> 02:40:36,351
timekeeping because they wore one of
3875
02:40:37,271 --> 02:40:38,271
these on both wrists and often on a
3876
02:40:39,400 --> 02:40:40,400
headband as well
3877
02:40:40,570 --> 02:40:41,570
this watch is actually an Akkadian
3878
02:40:43,330 --> 02:40:44,330
symbol for Ishtar the goddess of
3879
02:40:45,490 --> 02:40:46,490
fertility you can see the same rosette
3880
02:40:47,771 --> 02:40:48,771
on the famous Ishtar Gate in Babylon the
3881
02:40:50,440 --> 02:40:51,440
fertility of the land was associated
3882
02:40:52,540 --> 02:40:53,540
with as you might expect the goddess of
3883
02:40:54,971 --> 02:40:55,971
fertility and these beans are depicted
3884
02:40:57,280 --> 02:40:58,280
as acting on behalf of Ishtar as they
3885
02:40:59,711 --> 02:41:00,711
fertilized this date tree this also
3886
02:41:01,990 --> 02:41:02,990
probably explains the wings considering
3887
02:41:04,660 --> 02:41:05,660
that the natural and visible way that a
3888
02:41:06,790 --> 02:41:07,790
flower is pollinated is through bees and
3889
02:41:09,490 --> 02:41:10,490
birds therefore it's not so hard to see
3890
02:41:12,431 --> 02:41:13,431
that they were depicting their spiritual
3891
02:41:14,980 --> 02:41:15,980
agents of pollination with wings as well
3892
02:41:17,910 --> 02:41:18,910
zecharia sitchin has essentially
3893
02:41:20,711 --> 02:41:21,711
suggested that the reason why we were
3894
02:41:22,721 --> 02:41:23,721
visited in the remote past is because
3895
02:41:25,570 --> 02:41:26,570
the ancient astronauts home planet
3896
02:41:28,271 --> 02:41:29,271
needed gold for their atmosphere and
3897
02:41:31,721 --> 02:41:32,721
that their gold content
3898
02:41:33,491 --> 02:41:34,491
the atmosphere was depleting so they
3899
02:41:38,261 --> 02:41:39,261
came to earth in order to mine gold and
3900
02:41:41,201 --> 02:41:42,201
bring it back to their home planet this
3901
02:41:44,021 --> 02:41:45,021
idea about aliens coming to mind gold
3902
02:41:46,121 --> 02:41:47,121
for their atmosphere in the ancient past
3903
02:41:47,951 --> 02:41:48,951
is widely repeated by ancient astronaut
3904
02:41:50,921 --> 02:41:51,921
theorists in fact it's become something
3905
02:41:53,111 --> 02:41:54,111
of a foundational idea in the movement
3906
02:41:55,331 --> 02:41:56,331
this idea traces directly back to
3907
02:41:57,671 --> 02:41:58,671
zecharia sitchin and has absolutely
3908
02:41:59,730 --> 02:42:00,730
nothing to do with Sumerian texts it's
3909
02:42:03,221 --> 02:42:04,221
interesting to note that Sitchin doesn't
3910
02:42:05,261 --> 02:42:06,261
even give a place in the Sumerian texts
3911
02:42:07,480 --> 02:42:08,480
to justify this notion that they needed
3912
02:42:10,001 --> 02:42:11,001
gold for their atmosphere he says the
3913
02:42:12,371 --> 02:42:13,371
following in his book the wars of gods
3914
02:42:14,411 --> 02:42:15,411
and men the metal with its unique
3915
02:42:16,931 --> 02:42:17,931
properties was needed back home for a
3916
02:42:19,121 --> 02:42:20,121
vital need as best as we can make out
3917
02:42:21,581 --> 02:42:22,581
this vital need could have been for
3918
02:42:23,951 --> 02:42:24,951
suspending the gold particles in Nibiru
3919
02:42:25,931 --> 02:42:26,931
'he's waning atmosphere and thus
3920
02:42:27,971 --> 02:42:28,971
shielded from critical dissipation so he
3921
02:42:31,211 --> 02:42:32,211
says as best as we can make out well who
3922
02:42:34,421 --> 02:42:35,421
is we and what text would even hint at
3923
02:42:36,911 --> 02:42:37,911
that idea
3924
02:42:37,541 --> 02:42:38,541
Sitchin never says he simply creates
3925
02:42:40,331 --> 02:42:41,331
this idea of gold particles being needed
3926
02:42:42,431 --> 02:42:43,431
in a planet's atmosphere out of nowhere
3927
02:42:44,581 --> 02:42:45,581
nowadays you can do a word search for
3928
02:42:47,291 --> 02:42:48,291
the uses of the word gold in the
3929
02:42:49,661 --> 02:42:50,661
Sumerian texts we can read every mention
3930
02:42:52,751 --> 02:42:53,751
of this word not only are the mentions
3931
02:42:55,181 --> 02:42:56,181
of the word gold relatively few in the
3932
02:42:57,311 --> 02:42:58,311
Sumerian text there is nothing to
3933
02:42:59,441 --> 02:43:00,441
indicate anything but the most ordinary
3934
02:43:01,391 --> 02:43:02,391
uses for gold in fact it's a
3935
02:43:03,971 --> 02:43:04,971
surprisingly boring study thanks to the
3936
02:43:07,421 --> 02:43:08,421
meticulous cataloguing of the Sumerian
3937
02:43:09,461 --> 02:43:10,461
texts over the last few decades and the
3938
02:43:11,711 --> 02:43:12,711
advent of the internet we no longer have
3939
02:43:14,081 --> 02:43:15,081
to take people like Sitchin's word for
3940
02:43:16,121 --> 02:43:17,121
it there are some databases online that
3941
02:43:18,431 --> 02:43:19,431
allow you to search through Sumerian
3942
02:43:21,551 --> 02:43:22,551
texts and I have a video on my website
3943
02:43:24,871 --> 02:43:25,871
WWE is wrong calm if you go there and
3944
02:43:28,721 --> 02:43:29,721
you click on the anunnaki tab I will
3945
02:43:31,151 --> 02:43:32,151
show you how to search through something
3946
02:43:34,121 --> 02:43:35,121
called the electronic texts corpus of
3947
02:43:36,311 --> 02:43:37,311
Sumerian literature I'll show you how
3948
02:43:38,771 --> 02:43:39,771
you can search for all the occurrences
3949
02:43:40,631 --> 02:43:41,631
of the word Anunnaki and then click
3950
02:43:43,211 --> 02:43:44,211
through to English translations of all
3951
02:43:45,131 --> 02:43:46,131
those occurrences you
3952
02:43:46,640 --> 02:43:47,640
can find this material and I would
3953
02:43:48,979 --> 02:43:49,979
encourage you to do so because you can
3954
02:43:50,210 --> 02:43:51,210
check up on zecharia sitchin can check
3955
02:43:52,520 --> 02:43:53,520
up on me when i claim that there are no
3956
02:43:56,620 --> 02:43:57,620
texts there are no tablets that have for
3957
02:44:00,649 --> 02:44:01,649
instance the Anunnaki on Nibiru or
3958
02:44:03,199 --> 02:44:04,199
associated with Nibiru that Nibiru isn't
3959
02:44:05,870 --> 02:44:06,870
a planet beyond Pluto when I say those
3960
02:44:08,149 --> 02:44:09,149
things how easy would it be to prove me
3961
02:44:12,229 --> 02:44:13,229
wrong if you knew how to search for
3962
02:44:14,689 --> 02:44:15,689
those terms it'd be real easy and I
3963
02:44:18,020 --> 02:44:19,020
encourage you to check up on me check up
3964
02:44:20,180 --> 02:44:21,180
on everybody else and do the work you
3965
02:44:22,069 --> 02:44:23,069
can access this material and know who's
3966
02:44:24,260 --> 02:44:25,260
telling you the truth
3967
02:44:25,149 --> 02:44:26,149
we can finally see for ourselves why the
3968
02:44:28,279 --> 02:44:29,279
Sumerian scholars have been so critical
3969
02:44:30,500 --> 02:44:31,500
of Sitchin not because they're too
3970
02:44:32,479 --> 02:44:33,479
close-minded or anything like that but
3971
02:44:34,729 --> 02:44:35,729
rather because Sitchin really doesn't
3972
02:44:36,770 --> 02:44:37,770
seem to know what he's talking about let
3973
02:44:39,020 --> 02:44:40,020
me give you an example of how stitching
3974
02:44:40,550 --> 02:44:41,550
comes up with his quote amazing
3975
02:44:42,319 --> 02:44:43,319
translations let's take this idea that
3976
02:44:44,810 --> 02:44:45,810
the Sumerian texts speak of mining gold
3977
02:44:47,029 --> 02:44:48,029
now since the Sumerian texts do not
3978
02:44:49,399 --> 02:44:50,399
speak of mining gold in any way Sitchin
3979
02:44:51,949 --> 02:44:52,949
has to construct this idea out of thin
3980
02:44:54,050 --> 02:44:55,050
air this is how he did it I'll read from
3981
02:44:56,510 --> 02:44:57,510
his first book the 12th planet quote
3982
02:44:58,970 --> 02:44:59,970
some Mesopotamian hymns to EA exalt him
3983
02:45:01,880 --> 02:45:02,880
as Bell nimac II translated Lord of
3984
02:45:04,520 --> 02:45:05,520
wisdom but the correct translation
3985
02:45:06,830 --> 02:45:07,830
should undoubtedly be Lord of mining in
3986
02:45:10,069 --> 02:45:11,069
classic Sitchin style he never gives any
3987
02:45:12,920 --> 02:45:13,920
reason that the quote correct
3988
02:45:14,540 --> 02:45:15,540
translation should undoubtedly be Lord
3989
02:45:16,670 --> 02:45:17,670
of mining he just says it should be and
3990
02:45:19,189 --> 02:45:20,189
leaves it at that again we have Sumerian
3991
02:45:22,010 --> 02:45:23,010
dictionaries written by the Sumerian
3992
02:45:24,409 --> 02:45:25,409
scribes themselves and the Sumerians
3993
02:45:26,989 --> 02:45:27,989
don't agree with Sitchin here so why
3994
02:45:29,330 --> 02:45:30,330
should we I think one way to demonstrate
3995
02:45:31,550 --> 02:45:32,550
how bad of a translation this is is to
3996
02:45:34,310 --> 02:45:35,310
read a little about EA or inky's wisdom
3997
02:45:36,830 --> 02:45:37,830
in context and let you see if it makes
3998
02:45:38,989 --> 02:45:39,989
sense to you as meaning wisdom or if it
3999
02:45:42,319 --> 02:45:43,319
really means mining this is an example
4000
02:45:44,960 --> 02:45:45,960
from a Sumerian text called an uma Elish
4001
02:45:47,569 --> 02:45:48,569
it says he who understands all the wise
4002
02:45:50,989 --> 02:45:51,989
one the great one EA who knows all that
4003
02:45:54,500 --> 02:45:55,500
is perceived the plot he countered it
4004
02:45:57,470 --> 02:45:58,470
with a powerful spell not only does it
4005
02:45:59,810 --> 02:46:00,810
describe
4006
02:46:00,430 --> 02:46:01,430
his wisdom further here by saying quote
4007
02:46:02,319 --> 02:46:03,319
he who understands all but it also says
4008
02:46:05,649 --> 02:46:06,649
that because of this wisdom he was able
4009
02:46:08,050 --> 02:46:09,050
to perceive the plot before it happened
4010
02:46:10,060 --> 02:46:11,060
encounter it none of what we just read
4011
02:46:12,220 --> 02:46:13,220
make sense if wisdom really means mining
4012
02:46:14,830 --> 02:46:15,830
here's another one from the same epic ei
4013
02:46:17,620 --> 02:46:18,620
who knows all things knew he could not
4014
02:46:20,170 --> 02:46:21,170
defeat King GU and the host of T Amon
4015
02:46:22,660 --> 02:46:23,660
here again we see a contextual
4016
02:46:25,000 --> 02:46:26,000
definition of EA's knowledge he knows
4017
02:46:27,370 --> 02:46:28,370
all again we see that his knowledge
4018
02:46:29,890 --> 02:46:30,890
helped him understand that he could not
4019
02:46:31,810 --> 02:46:32,810
defeat King gu these are not isolated
4020
02:46:34,390 --> 02:46:35,390
descriptions of this knowledge EA is the
4021
02:46:36,819 --> 02:46:37,819
god of wisdom for a reason nothing said
4022
02:46:39,340 --> 02:46:40,340
about him makes sense if his knowledge
4023
02:46:40,899 --> 02:46:41,899
means mining or even knowledge about
4024
02:46:43,540 --> 02:46:44,540
mining all the stories about him
4025
02:46:45,790 --> 02:46:46,790
highlight his great understanding and
4026
02:46:47,979 --> 02:46:48,979
conversely there isn't even a hint that
4027
02:46:50,260 --> 02:46:51,260
he cares a lick about digging for gold
4028
02:46:52,330 --> 02:46:53,330
or anything else it's just not there it
4029
02:46:55,989 --> 02:46:56,989
requires an ignorant of the Sumerian
4030
02:46:58,479 --> 02:46:59,479
texts in order to be believed let's move
4031
02:47:01,630 --> 02:47:02,630
on to another claim about the Anunnaki
4032
02:47:03,870 --> 02:47:04,870
virtually every story that's in Genesis
4033
02:47:06,670 --> 02:47:07,670
of the flood story of Adam and Eve story
4034
02:47:09,340 --> 02:47:10,340
they all have precedence with the
4035
02:47:11,620 --> 02:47:12,620
ancient Sumerians the story that came
4036
02:47:14,529 --> 02:47:15,529
down to the Sumerians is that the
4037
02:47:16,270 --> 02:47:17,270
anunnaki were mining gold on the earth
4038
02:47:19,899 --> 02:47:20,899
and the run of the mill workers
4039
02:47:23,109 --> 02:47:24,109
complains that this is really hard work
4040
02:47:25,899 --> 02:47:26,899
and we're tired we don't want to do this
4041
02:47:28,180 --> 02:47:29,180
anymore and so they had a big councilmen
4042
02:47:30,880 --> 02:47:31,880
side them create a primitive worker
4043
02:47:32,920 --> 02:47:33,920
called on a dam oh the Anunnaki created
4044
02:47:36,010 --> 02:47:37,010
humans as a slave species the first
4045
02:47:39,220 --> 02:47:40,220
thing to be aware of here is that in the
4046
02:47:41,050 --> 02:47:42,050
epoch of creation that they're referring
4047
02:47:42,819 --> 02:47:43,819
to here the gods weren't mining gold the
4048
02:47:45,910 --> 02:47:46,910
work that the gods were doing is
4049
02:47:47,380 --> 02:47:48,380
creating the world kind of what you
4050
02:47:49,300 --> 02:47:50,300
would expect from a creation epic it
4051
02:47:50,949 --> 02:47:51,949
even specifically states that they were
4052
02:47:52,750 --> 02:47:53,750
making mountains and rivers such as the
4053
02:47:55,029 --> 02:47:56,029
tigress and your freight ease the gods
4054
02:47:57,069 --> 02:47:58,069
here were tired of creating the earth
4055
02:47:58,779 --> 02:47:59,779
not gold-mining the epic goes on to
4056
02:48:01,810 --> 02:48:02,810
describe the following events the gods
4057
02:48:04,060 --> 02:48:05,060
decide to mix up themselves with clay
4058
02:48:06,100 --> 02:48:07,100
and make man as the version of men that
4059
02:48:08,890 --> 02:48:09,890
they made increased in number the noise
4060
02:48:11,199 --> 02:48:12,199
that they made angered the gods so they
4061
02:48:13,930 --> 02:48:14,930
decide to
4062
02:48:14,410 --> 02:48:15,410
kill them off with the flood one man is
4063
02:48:16,630 --> 02:48:17,630
instructed to build a boat
4064
02:48:18,010 --> 02:48:19,010
he puts animals on it it rains for seven
4065
02:48:20,710 --> 02:48:21,710
days and seven nights and the man and
4066
02:48:22,900 --> 02:48:23,900
his family are saved there are many
4067
02:48:24,730 --> 02:48:25,730
similarities between these Sumerian
4068
02:48:26,561 --> 02:48:27,561
writings and to the biblical accounts of
4069
02:48:28,930 --> 02:48:29,930
the creation of man and Noah's Flood
4070
02:48:30,970 --> 02:48:31,970
some people think that this is due to
4071
02:48:33,130 --> 02:48:34,130
the writers of the Bible copying the
4072
02:48:35,141 --> 02:48:36,141
earlier Sumerian writings this is
4073
02:48:37,601 --> 02:48:38,601
problematic because even the critics who
4074
02:48:40,000 --> 02:48:41,000
specialize in this style of ancient
4075
02:48:41,800 --> 02:48:42,800
literature say there is no evidence of
4076
02:48:44,230 --> 02:48:45,230
literary borrowing in fact just the
4077
02:48:46,780 --> 02:48:47,780
opposite they propose that they must be
4078
02:48:49,090 --> 02:48:50,090
referring to a common source for the
4079
02:48:51,370 --> 02:48:52,370
information
4080
02:48:52,120 --> 02:48:53,120
one paper by haidle milord and dam Roche
4081
02:48:55,030 --> 02:48:56,030
concludes this way quote literary
4082
02:48:57,760 --> 02:48:58,760
dependence cannot be demonstrated here
4083
02:49:00,340 --> 02:49:01,340
as in most of the parallels in primeval
4084
02:49:02,320 --> 02:49:03,320
history it is considered more likely
4085
02:49:04,330 --> 02:49:05,330
that the Mesopotamian and biblical
4086
02:49:06,370 --> 02:49:07,370
traditions are based on a common source
4087
02:49:08,410 --> 02:49:09,410
some understand this common source to be
4088
02:49:10,780 --> 02:49:11,780
a piece of more ancient literature while
4089
02:49:12,940 --> 02:49:13,940
others consider it the actual event add
4090
02:49:14,950 --> 02:49:15,950
to this that it's not just the Sumerian
4091
02:49:17,351 --> 02:49:18,351
text and the Bible that are talking
4092
02:49:19,061 --> 02:49:20,061
about the same basic story but obvious
4093
02:49:21,370 --> 02:49:22,370
elements of the story can be found in
4094
02:49:23,141 --> 02:49:24,141
almost every early culture regardless of
4095
02:49:25,570 --> 02:49:26,570
its location take for example the story
4096
02:49:27,970 --> 02:49:28,970
of Viracocha in South America Veera
4097
02:49:30,430 --> 02:49:31,430
kochiya created the heavens and the
4098
02:49:31,840 --> 02:49:32,840
earth he then took large stones and
4099
02:49:34,271 --> 02:49:35,271
breathed life into them but they became
4100
02:49:36,521 --> 02:49:37,521
giants so he sent a flood to wipe them
4101
02:49:38,980 --> 02:49:39,980
out after the flood he breathed into
4102
02:49:41,290 --> 02:49:42,290
smaller stones than the first time
4103
02:49:42,851 --> 02:49:43,851
thereby creating smaller people which
4104
02:49:45,190 --> 02:49:46,190
were then scattered all over the world
4105
02:49:46,540 --> 02:49:47,540
and in the Bible in Genesis 6 we see
4106
02:49:49,180 --> 02:49:50,180
something similar the sons of God
4107
02:49:51,040 --> 02:49:52,040
disobeyed God they came to earth had sex
4108
02:49:53,710 --> 02:49:54,710
with human women producing giants called
4109
02:49:55,990 --> 02:49:56,990
Nephilim the Nephilim over time almost
4110
02:49:58,420 --> 02:49:59,420
eliminated the original human population
4111
02:50:00,670 --> 02:50:01,670
and this is one of the reasons that God
4112
02:50:02,771 --> 02:50:03,771
sent the flood these stories are found
4113
02:50:04,840 --> 02:50:05,840
in some form in cultures as
4114
02:50:06,760 --> 02:50:07,760
geographically separated as you can get
4115
02:50:08,891 --> 02:50:09,891
there in China Europe the Middle East
4116
02:50:11,230 --> 02:50:12,230
there found a Native American traditions
4117
02:50:13,360 --> 02:50:14,360
in South America and many others these
4118
02:50:15,970 --> 02:50:16,970
similarities are too obvious to simply
4119
02:50:18,250 --> 02:50:19,250
dismiss things like eight people being
4120
02:50:20,620 --> 02:50:21,620
on the boat are mentioned in a good
4121
02:50:22,150 --> 02:50:23,150
percentage of these stories I personally
4122
02:50:24,311 --> 02:50:25,311
think that all these cultures are
4123
02:50:25,570 --> 02:50:26,570
drawing from the same original story
4124
02:50:28,150 --> 02:50:29,150
a story that was told only one way and
4125
02:50:30,610 --> 02:50:31,610
that as migrations happened from the
4126
02:50:32,920 --> 02:50:33,920
original group they started adding in
4127
02:50:35,170 --> 02:50:36,170
details that were more locally important
4128
02:50:37,391 --> 02:50:38,391
to them but that each of these cultures
4129
02:50:39,790 --> 02:50:40,790
sincerely believed that they were
4130
02:50:41,561 --> 02:50:42,561
passing on the true account of the
4131
02:50:43,631 --> 02:50:44,631
origin of humanity to their descendants
4132
02:50:46,091 --> 02:50:47,091
as this story was told ironically if you
4133
02:50:48,670 --> 02:50:49,670
take it at face value if there really
4134
02:50:50,320 --> 02:50:51,320
was a flood and all people except for
4135
02:50:52,450 --> 02:50:53,450
the ones on the boat were destroyed and
4136
02:50:54,221 --> 02:50:55,221
if most modern cultures were descended
4137
02:50:56,620 --> 02:50:57,620
from them the fact that the entire world
4138
02:50:58,601 --> 02:50:59,601
seems to have inherited the same story
4139
02:51:00,670 --> 02:51:01,670
would make sense because they
4140
02:51:02,561 --> 02:51:03,561
essentially have the same eight
4141
02:51:03,670 --> 02:51:04,670
ancestors who experienced such a
4142
02:51:05,891 --> 02:51:06,891
dramatic event and made it a point to
4143
02:51:08,080 --> 02:51:09,080
pass the story to each generation I
4144
02:51:10,030 --> 02:51:11,030
propose that something like this really
4145
02:51:12,221 --> 02:51:13,221
did happen in ancient history I don't
4146
02:51:14,710 --> 02:51:15,710
personally see any logical way around it
4147
02:51:17,051 --> 02:51:18,051
the question I have is which if any of
4148
02:51:19,660 --> 02:51:20,660
these accounts is closest to the truth
4149
02:51:21,730 --> 02:51:22,730
ancient aliens tells us that the
4150
02:51:23,771 --> 02:51:24,771
Sumerian version is closest to the truth
4151
02:51:25,931 --> 02:51:26,931
because they were recorded earlier that
4152
02:51:28,480 --> 02:51:29,480
makes sense to a point but we have to
4153
02:51:30,521 --> 02:51:31,521
remember that the events described in
4154
02:51:32,290 --> 02:51:33,290
the Sumerian text were still ancient
4155
02:51:34,841 --> 02:51:35,841
history to the Sumerians so the question
4156
02:51:37,841 --> 02:51:38,841
is not so much about the date of the
4157
02:51:39,610 --> 02:51:40,610
writing but rather their ability to
4158
02:51:42,011 --> 02:51:43,011
preserve the story I'll give you a few
4159
02:51:44,261 --> 02:51:45,261
very good reasons to seriously doubt
4160
02:51:46,480 --> 02:51:47,480
that the Sumerian accounts should be
4161
02:51:48,280 --> 02:51:49,280
given more weight where they differ from
4162
02:51:50,021 --> 02:51:51,021
the others the first is that Sumerian
4163
02:51:52,391 --> 02:51:53,391
stories are not logically consistent
4164
02:51:54,480 --> 02:51:55,480
take for example that in both the
4165
02:51:56,860 --> 02:51:57,860
Sumerian and biblical accounts
4166
02:51:58,690 --> 02:51:59,690
dimensions for the boat are given the
4167
02:52:01,271 --> 02:52:02,271
mere fact that an important part of this
4168
02:52:03,341 --> 02:52:04,341
story is the dimensions of the boat is
4169
02:52:05,650 --> 02:52:06,650
interesting but when you draw out the
4170
02:52:07,900 --> 02:52:08,900
dimensions you have on the one hand the
4171
02:52:10,181 --> 02:52:11,181
Sumerian boat being a big cube and the
4172
02:52:13,330 --> 02:52:14,330
biblical one being described by naval
4173
02:52:15,700 --> 02:52:16,700
engineers as nearly perfect for
4174
02:52:18,160 --> 02:52:19,160
maintaining stability without hull
4175
02:52:20,230 --> 02:52:21,230
damage in incredibly rough seas another
4176
02:52:23,170 --> 02:52:24,170
reason not to trust the Sumerian text
4177
02:52:25,480 --> 02:52:26,480
where they differ from the others is
4178
02:52:27,160 --> 02:52:28,160
that as every Sumerian scholar knows the
4179
02:52:29,891 --> 02:52:30,891
Sumerians constantly changed the details
4180
02:52:32,261 --> 02:52:33,261
of their stories to suit the different
4181
02:52:34,511 --> 02:52:35,511
situations for example texts of the same
4182
02:52:37,631 --> 02:52:38,631
story found in the temple of Enki will
4183
02:52:40,210 --> 02:52:41,210
differ from the ones
4184
02:52:41,740 --> 02:52:42,740
in the temple oven Jana even if they are
4185
02:52:44,229 --> 02:52:45,229
from the same time period but especially
4186
02:52:46,570 --> 02:52:47,570
if they're from a different time period
4187
02:52:48,070 --> 02:52:49,070
to quote one Sumerian scholar quote
4188
02:52:50,640 --> 02:52:51,640
inconsistencies are a regular feature of
4189
02:52:53,200 --> 02:52:54,200
Sumerian poetry in quote he goes on to
4190
02:52:56,110 --> 02:52:57,110
say that integration of different texts
4191
02:52:58,510 --> 02:52:59,510
by the Sumerian scribes often appears
4192
02:53:01,000 --> 02:53:02,000
somewhat careless compare that with the
4193
02:53:03,400 --> 02:53:04,400
ancient Hebrew scribes who were
4194
02:53:05,680 --> 02:53:06,680
notorious for taking their job ultra
4195
02:53:07,870 --> 02:53:08,870
seriously they had many rules that
4196
02:53:10,180 --> 02:53:11,180
governed their copying of their sacred
4197
02:53:12,130 --> 02:53:13,130
texts for example it is said that they
4198
02:53:14,590 --> 02:53:15,590
would have to speak every letter out
4199
02:53:16,330 --> 02:53:17,330
loud before committing it to paper one
4200
02:53:19,630 --> 02:53:20,630
example of a vindication of this
4201
02:53:21,400 --> 02:53:22,400
meticulous attention to detail is with
4202
02:53:24,100 --> 02:53:25,100
the Isaiah scroll found in the Dead Sea
4203
02:53:26,110 --> 02:53:27,110
Scrolls the earliest copies of the
4204
02:53:28,570 --> 02:53:29,570
Hebrew Old Testament before the Dead Sea
4205
02:53:30,370 --> 02:53:31,370
Scrolls were the Masoretic texts which
4206
02:53:33,010 --> 02:53:34,010
were copied between the years 600 and
4207
02:53:35,050 --> 02:53:36,050
1,000 ad so the Isaiah scroll one of the
4208
02:53:38,560 --> 02:53:39,560
best-preserved Scrolls would be a way to
4209
02:53:40,450 --> 02:53:41,450
prove or disprove if their scriptures
4210
02:53:42,670 --> 02:53:43,670
had been faithfully copied by the
4211
02:53:44,470 --> 02:53:45,470
scribes during the previous 800 years as
4212
02:53:47,560 --> 02:53:48,560
it turned out they did a flawless job
4213
02:53:50,110 --> 02:53:51,110
and the Hebrew scribes were vindicated
4214
02:53:52,570 --> 02:53:53,570
so when deciding which texts are more
4215
02:53:54,850 --> 02:53:55,850
accurate as it relates to their accounts
4216
02:53:57,310 --> 02:53:58,310
of ancient events it is far more logical
4217
02:53:59,890 --> 02:54:00,890
to assume that the group with a
4218
02:54:01,330 --> 02:54:02,330
tradition of accurate preservation and
4219
02:54:03,400 --> 02:54:04,400
transmission of their text should be
4220
02:54:05,350 --> 02:54:06,350
given more weight than a culture like
4221
02:54:06,760 --> 02:54:07,760
the Sumerians who seemed to have very
4222
02:54:08,650 --> 02:54:09,650
little interest in the accurate
4223
02:54:10,210 --> 02:54:11,210
transmission of the details of their
4224
02:54:11,950 --> 02:54:12,950
stories to sum up almost everything that
4225
02:54:15,100 --> 02:54:16,100
ancient alien says about the Anunnaki is
4226
02:54:17,410 --> 02:54:18,410
untrue which is not surprising
4227
02:54:19,090 --> 02:54:20,090
considering they copy and pasted almost
4228
02:54:21,520 --> 02:54:22,520
everything in this section from the
4229
02:54:23,020 --> 02:54:24,020
books of Zecharia Sitchin for more
4230
02:54:24,970 --> 02:54:25,970
information about Sitchin's errors in
4231
02:54:26,800 --> 02:54:27,800
his translations of the Sumerian and
4232
02:54:28,479 --> 02:54:29,479
Akkadian texts I would direct you to the
4233
02:54:30,370 --> 02:54:31,370
excellent website of dr. Michael Heizer
4234
02:54:32,260 --> 02:54:33,260
Sitchin is wrong com
4235
02:54:37,690 --> 02:54:38,690
[Music]
4236
02:54:43,530 --> 02:54:44,530
ancient myths are full of stories of
4237
02:54:46,210 --> 02:54:47,210
gods
4238
02:54:46,930 --> 02:54:47,930
descending to earth to mate with humans
4239
02:54:50,670 --> 02:54:51,670
according to many sources including
4240
02:54:52,620 --> 02:54:53,620
Norse mythology Greek mythology and even
4241
02:54:56,080 --> 02:54:57,080
the Bible we have the stories of the
4242
02:54:58,930 --> 02:54:59,930
sons of God or actual gods from Mount
4243
02:55:02,140 --> 02:55:03,140
Olympus or Valhalla and their coming to
4244
02:55:05,470 --> 02:55:06,470
earth they find the daughters of man
4245
02:55:09,010 --> 02:55:10,010
attractive according to ancient texts
4246
02:55:12,640 --> 02:55:13,640
the fallen angels not only physically
4247
02:55:15,580 --> 02:55:16,580
made it with the women of Earth they
4248
02:55:17,800 --> 02:55:18,800
produced offspring than the filum a race
4249
02:55:22,000 --> 02:55:23,000
of giants similar to those portrayed in
4250
02:55:25,030 --> 02:55:26,030
the story of David and Goliath I pretty
4251
02:55:27,850 --> 02:55:28,850
much agree with how they start off here
4252
02:55:29,650 --> 02:55:30,650
there are many texts from all around the
4253
02:55:31,960 --> 02:55:32,960
world that do seem to be speaking of the
4254
02:55:34,120 --> 02:55:35,120
same thing I also think that because of
4255
02:55:36,790 --> 02:55:37,790
the eerily similar themes in these
4256
02:55:38,800 --> 02:55:39,800
accounts it's not wise to dismiss them
4257
02:55:41,530 --> 02:55:42,530
altogether as a common idea that you
4258
02:55:43,660 --> 02:55:44,660
would expect independent cultures to
4259
02:55:45,700 --> 02:55:46,700
invent I think this topic is worth
4260
02:55:48,100 --> 02:55:49,100
looking into in depth ancient alien
4261
02:55:50,890 --> 02:55:51,890
seems to hold two contradictory opinions
4262
02:55:53,170 --> 02:55:54,170
about this issue on the one hand they
4263
02:55:55,750 --> 02:55:56,750
seem to be clear that they believe that
4264
02:55:57,490 --> 02:55:58,490
extraterrestrials came to Earth in the
4265
02:55:59,890 --> 02:56:00,890
ancient past and had sexual
4266
02:56:01,660 --> 02:56:02,660
relationships with human women because
4267
02:56:04,000 --> 02:56:05,000
they found them attractive ancient texts
4268
02:56:06,330 --> 02:56:07,330
talk about the fact that whoever visited
4269
02:56:09,340 --> 02:56:10,340
the earth in the remote past these God's
4270
02:56:11,800 --> 02:56:12,800
thought that earth women were quite
4271
02:56:14,500 --> 02:56:15,500
beautiful so in many occasions we find
4272
02:56:18,940 --> 02:56:19,940
stories where those visitors essentially
4273
02:56:23,830 --> 02:56:24,830
mated with earth women it was
4274
02:56:27,550 --> 02:56:28,550
misinterpreted misunderstood as
4275
02:56:30,870 --> 02:56:31,870
something divine that came here they
4276
02:56:34,030 --> 02:56:35,030
were flesh-and-blood extraterrestrials
4277
02:56:37,189 --> 02:56:38,189
when you look at Greek mythology and
4278
02:56:40,829 --> 02:56:41,829
many of the mythologies around the world
4279
02:56:43,020 --> 02:56:44,020
they have these stories of gods coming
4280
02:56:46,710 --> 02:56:47,710
down from the sky and have sexual
4281
02:56:49,560 --> 02:56:50,560
intercourse with these humans and in a
4282
02:56:53,130 --> 02:56:54,130
sense create a new breed of human when
4283
02:56:56,279 --> 02:56:57,279
all these encounters happened and when
4284
02:56:58,890 --> 02:56:59,890
women slept with those gods which can be
4285
02:57:02,550 --> 02:57:03,550
found in multiple texts all around the
4286
02:57:06,869 --> 02:57:07,869
planet
4287
02:57:09,200 --> 02:57:10,200
that those women actually had sex with
4288
02:57:13,240 --> 02:57:14,240
extraterrestrials not with gods because
4289
02:57:16,250 --> 02:57:17,250
gods do not exist but the view that this
4290
02:57:18,470 --> 02:57:19,470
event involved lust and sex doesn't fit
4291
02:57:21,500 --> 02:57:22,500
too well with the ancient astronaut
4292
02:57:23,360 --> 02:57:24,360
theory they would prefer the view that
4293
02:57:25,730 --> 02:57:26,730
what happened was artificial
4294
02:57:27,681 --> 02:57:28,681
insemination today artificial
4295
02:57:29,990 --> 02:57:30,990
insemination that's what happens today
4296
02:57:32,330 --> 02:57:33,330
you no longer have to have sex in order
4297
02:57:34,641 --> 02:57:35,641
to have babies we have the exact same
4298
02:57:37,370 --> 02:57:38,370
description thousands of years ago where
4299
02:57:40,431 --> 02:57:41,431
women without sleeping with anyone all
4300
02:57:42,920 --> 02:57:43,920
of a sudden became pregnant the problem
4301
02:57:45,440 --> 02:57:46,440
is that these texts are so clear that a
4302
02:57:47,900 --> 02:57:48,900
physical desire for women on the part of
4303
02:57:50,480 --> 02:57:51,480
the Angels was involved so in order to
4304
02:57:53,090 --> 02:57:54,090
make artificial insemination appear in
4305
02:57:55,490 --> 02:57:56,490
the text ancient aliens Stoops to a new
4306
02:57:58,370 --> 02:57:59,370
low one of the Dead Sea Scrolls is
4307
02:58:01,101 --> 02:58:02,101
called the Lamech scroll what Islamic
4308
02:58:04,431 --> 02:58:05,431
Lamech was a shepherd and one day Lamech
4309
02:58:07,880 --> 02:58:08,880
these women was pregnant and he said to
4310
02:58:11,300 --> 02:58:12,300
her this is impossible I was not here
4311
02:58:13,400 --> 02:58:14,400
for months but he's woman with the name
4312
02:58:15,561 --> 02:58:16,561
bathenosh swears no one touched me but
4313
02:58:19,610 --> 02:58:20,610
Lamech doesn't believe his wife
4314
02:58:21,290 --> 02:58:22,290
bathenosh and he goes to his father
4315
02:58:23,391 --> 02:58:24,391
which was Methuselah me and Methuselah
4316
02:58:25,880 --> 02:58:26,880
says to Lamech I can't help you I don't
4317
02:58:28,400 --> 02:58:29,400
understand this I believe you're women
4318
02:58:30,860 --> 02:58:31,860
but they must have nobody touched her
4319
02:58:32,210 --> 02:58:33,210
and I believe you what should i do so
4320
02:58:34,550 --> 02:58:35,550
Methuselah goes to his father the
4321
02:58:37,010 --> 02:58:38,010
grandfather now of Lamech his name is
4322
02:58:39,050 --> 02:58:40,050
Enoch now enoch tells to methuselah that
4323
02:58:43,160 --> 02:58:44,160
the guardians of the sky have made an
4324
02:58:47,240 --> 02:58:48,240
artificial insemination into the womb of
4325
02:58:50,540 --> 02:58:51,540
bathenosh the wife and he should accept
4326
02:58:53,840 --> 02:58:54,840
this child because this child would be
4327
02:58:56,811 --> 02:58:57,811
the father of a new human generation and
4328
02:59:00,650 --> 02:59:01,650
in the Bible this is Noah
4329
02:59:02,240 --> 02:59:03,240
they literally lie here I suppose that
4330
02:59:05,330 --> 02:59:06,330
von Daniken is banking on the fact that
4331
02:59:07,730 --> 02:59:08,730
not many people know about the text that
4332
02:59:09,830 --> 02:59:10,830
he is quoting from and so they probably
4333
02:59:12,050 --> 02:59:13,050
won't check his facts so I guess he
4334
02:59:14,690 --> 02:59:15,690
feels like he can just straight up lie
4335
02:59:16,610 --> 02:59:17,610
to people about what it says let me
4336
02:59:18,980 --> 02:59:19,980
break down some of the deceptions in
4337
02:59:20,630 --> 02:59:21,630
this clip and one day Lamech
4338
02:59:23,180 --> 02:59:24,180
that women was pregnant and he said to
4339
02:59:25,910 --> 02:59:26,910
her this is impossible I was not here
4340
02:59:27,979 --> 02:59:28,979
for months
4341
02:59:28,699 --> 02:59:29,699
the first big lie here is the idea that
4342
02:59:31,279 --> 02:59:32,279
the reason Lamech doubted that Noah was
4343
02:59:33,739 --> 02:59:34,739
his son was because he wasn't there for
4344
02:59:36,710 --> 02:59:37,710
months when the text clearly explains
4345
02:59:39,140 --> 02:59:40,140
that the reason he doubted whether Noah
4346
02:59:41,180 --> 02:59:42,180
was his son was because of the way Noah
4347
02:59:43,580 --> 02:59:44,580
looked von daniken just inserts I was
4348
02:59:46,670 --> 02:59:47,670
not here for months I guess to make it
4349
02:59:48,649 --> 02:59:49,649
seem like it couldn't possibly be Lamech
4350
02:59:50,930 --> 02:59:51,930
son which is very deceptive especially
4351
02:59:53,660 --> 02:59:54,660
considering that in the text bathenosh
4352
02:59:55,880 --> 02:59:56,880
his wife actually reminds Lamech of the
4353
02:59:58,760 --> 02:59:59,760
day they conceived the child and if you
4354
03:00:00,890 --> 03:00:01,890
think that's deceptive on the part of
4355
03:00:02,569 --> 03:00:03,569
von Daniken you haven't seen anything
4356
03:00:04,489 --> 03:00:05,489
yet
4357
03:00:04,939 --> 03:00:05,939
now enoch tells to methuselah that the
4358
03:00:08,840 --> 03:00:09,840
guardians of the sky have made an
4359
03:00:12,439 --> 03:00:13,439
artificial insemination into the womb of
4360
03:00:15,710 --> 03:00:16,710
bathenosh the wife this is unbelievable
4361
03:00:19,100 --> 03:00:20,100
in the text
4362
03:00:20,359 --> 03:00:21,359
Enoch actually says the opposite Enoch
4363
03:00:23,540 --> 03:00:24,540
clearly confirms that Noah is the
4364
03:00:25,729 --> 03:00:26,729
genuine son of Lamech so not only is von
4365
03:00:28,910 --> 03:00:29,910
Daniken bald-faced lying here about what
4366
03:00:31,670 --> 03:00:32,670
Enoch says about Noah in the text he is
4367
03:00:34,520 --> 03:00:35,520
inserting the idea of artificial
4368
03:00:36,620 --> 03:00:37,620
insemination out of nowhere on top of
4369
03:00:39,529 --> 03:00:40,529
this lie so you can see that one of the
4370
03:00:41,989 --> 03:00:42,989
main founders of the ancient astronaut
4371
03:00:44,120 --> 03:00:45,120
theory has absolutely no problem lying
4372
03:00:46,790 --> 03:00:47,790
in order to make the crucial link that
4373
03:00:48,920 --> 03:00:49,920
they need between the Nephilim and
4374
03:00:50,779 --> 03:00:51,779
artificial insemination in ancient texts
4375
03:00:53,300 --> 03:00:54,300
although I sympathize with the ancient
4376
03:00:55,670 --> 03:00:56,670
astronaut theorists and that I think
4377
03:00:57,739 --> 03:00:58,739
that the consistent details in the
4378
03:00:59,660 --> 03:01:00,660
ancient text about the Nephilim lead us
4379
03:01:02,270 --> 03:01:03,270
to the conclusion that something weird
4380
03:01:03,979 --> 03:01:04,979
really did happen in the ancient past I
4381
03:01:06,380 --> 03:01:07,380
don't think that the evidence points to
4382
03:01:08,840 --> 03:01:09,840
it being extraterrestrials from another
4383
03:01:10,790 --> 03:01:11,790
planet well the whole Nephilim passage
4384
03:01:13,660 --> 03:01:14,660
Genesis 6 verses 1 through 4 is
4385
03:01:15,979 --> 03:01:16,979
admittedly weird it's one of those go to
4386
03:01:18,500 --> 03:01:19,500
weird passages in the Bible that seems
4387
03:01:20,540 --> 03:01:21,540
to come up especially among people who
4388
03:01:23,840 --> 03:01:24,840
would really resist or not have a
4389
03:01:27,350 --> 03:01:28,350
supernatural worldview but as weird as
4390
03:01:30,319 --> 03:01:31,319
it is the the key there is a
4391
03:01:32,000 --> 03:01:33,000
supernatural worldview if we believe
4392
03:01:34,010 --> 03:01:35,010
that there are intelligent being
4393
03:01:37,460 --> 03:01:38,460
outside our own created world our own
4394
03:01:41,330 --> 03:01:42,330
material world if we believe in this
4395
03:01:43,880 --> 03:01:44,880
thing we call the supernatural and if
4396
03:01:46,160 --> 03:01:47,160
you have a supernatural entity why would
4397
03:01:47,870 --> 03:01:48,870
you limit a supernatural entity from
4398
03:01:50,660 --> 03:01:51,660
doing that again on what basis would you
4399
03:01:53,210 --> 03:01:54,210
have for limiting that property if
4400
03:01:56,060 --> 03:01:57,060
you're going to allow for that then this
4401
03:01:58,340 --> 03:01:59,340
idea of being able to mingle with human
4402
03:02:01,160 --> 03:02:02,160
flesh on some level or in some way
4403
03:02:04,640 --> 03:02:05,640
proceeds from from those assumptions I
4404
03:02:06,920 --> 03:02:07,920
think that we've already seen that they
4405
03:02:08,479 --> 03:02:09,479
are being deceptive with the evidence
4406
03:02:10,220 --> 03:02:11,220
that they present but I also think that
4407
03:02:12,530 --> 03:02:13,530
they are being deceptive with the
4408
03:02:13,970 --> 03:02:14,970
evidence they are not presenting for
4409
03:02:16,280 --> 03:02:17,280
example in many ancient texts from the
4410
03:02:18,890 --> 03:02:19,890
ancient Near East to the ancient
4411
03:02:20,660 --> 03:02:21,660
Americas this hybrid or Nephilim event
4412
03:02:23,420 --> 03:02:24,420
is spoken of in conjunction with a great
4413
03:02:26,120 --> 03:02:27,120
flood these stories with slight
4414
03:02:28,280 --> 03:02:29,280
variations describe the flood coming
4415
03:02:30,800 --> 03:02:31,800
because the hybridization was against
4416
03:02:33,500 --> 03:02:34,500
the creator's will
4417
03:02:34,640 --> 03:02:35,640
hey there's flood stories and all these
4418
03:02:36,350 --> 03:02:37,350
other ancient cultures and look at that
4419
03:02:38,720 --> 03:02:39,720
so it must be against some collective
4420
03:02:40,850 --> 03:02:41,850
memory and whatnot and that's legitimate
4421
03:02:43,790 --> 03:02:44,790
but the problem is is a lot of those
4422
03:02:46,250 --> 03:02:47,250
same sources the same apologists will
4423
03:02:49,250 --> 03:02:50,250
conveniently for one reason or the other
4424
03:02:50,840 --> 03:02:51,840
forget to include a lot of the other
4425
03:02:54,290 --> 03:02:55,290
details that come along with those
4426
03:02:57,050 --> 03:02:58,050
comparative flood stories and one of
4427
03:02:58,700 --> 03:02:59,700
those would be things like cohabitation
4428
03:03:01,370 --> 03:03:02,370
or some sort of interaction between the
4429
03:03:03,320 --> 03:03:04,320
divine world in the human world that
4430
03:03:05,420 --> 03:03:06,420
results in or produces you know kind of
4431
03:03:08,150 --> 03:03:09,150
strange offspring like the Nephilim it's
4432
03:03:10,700 --> 03:03:11,700
complex and pretty strange but it's
4433
03:03:13,160 --> 03:03:14,160
consistent and it is a story that many
4434
03:03:15,500 --> 03:03:16,500
diverse cultures have passed down to
4435
03:03:17,450 --> 03:03:18,450
their descendants they really believed
4436
03:03:19,400 --> 03:03:20,400
that this unnatural union produced
4437
03:03:21,410 --> 03:03:22,410
Giants but again because the consistent
4438
03:03:24,229 --> 03:03:25,229
stories of the ancient cultures conflict
4439
03:03:26,479 --> 03:03:27,479
with the ancient astronaut theory they
4440
03:03:28,700 --> 03:03:29,700
literally just throw out the evidence
4441
03:03:30,820 --> 03:03:31,820
were they giants
4442
03:03:33,320 --> 03:03:34,320
or is that the wrong word and the
4443
03:03:36,500 --> 03:03:37,500
correct word should be extraterrestrial
4444
03:03:38,930 --> 03:03:39,930
but the word Nephilim really does mean
4445
03:03:41,450 --> 03:03:42,450
Giants and the context of the various
4446
03:03:44,000 --> 03:03:45,000
stories clearly reinforce this idea
4447
03:03:45,860 --> 03:03:46,860
their height is often described or the
4448
03:03:48,800 --> 03:03:49,800
dimensions of their weapons are given
4449
03:03:50,450 --> 03:03:51,450
things like that
4450
03:03:51,590 --> 03:03:52,590
the term Nephilim really most accurately
4451
03:03:53,900 --> 03:03:54,900
means Giants this is the way ancient
4452
03:03:55,850 --> 03:03:56,850
translators themselves understood it
4453
03:03:58,271 --> 03:03:59,271
translators of the Septuagint and
4454
03:04:00,320 --> 03:04:01,320
Aramaic translations of the Hebrew Bible
4455
03:04:02,510 --> 03:04:03,510
it gets pretty complicated to explain
4456
03:04:05,150 --> 03:04:06,150
why that's the case on my web site
4457
03:04:08,090 --> 03:04:09,090
Sitchin is wrong com if you click on the
4458
03:04:11,120 --> 03:04:12,120
tab for Nephilim you'll find an
4459
03:04:13,490 --> 03:04:14,490
explanation they're part of the main
4460
03:04:15,740 --> 03:04:16,740
problem in my opinion here is the
4461
03:04:17,960 --> 03:04:18,960
differences in the definition of the
4462
03:04:19,970 --> 03:04:20,970
word angel according to the ancient text
4463
03:04:22,580 --> 03:04:23,580
versus the definition according to
4464
03:04:25,130 --> 03:04:26,130
modern pop culture if you wanted to
4465
03:04:27,530 --> 03:04:28,530
determine what an angel was using the
4466
03:04:30,080 --> 03:04:31,080
Bible or other near-east text alone you
4467
03:04:33,140 --> 03:04:34,140
would conclude that they have fully
4468
03:04:34,790 --> 03:04:35,790
functional bodies that they can have
4469
03:04:36,860 --> 03:04:37,860
meals with people they grab hold of
4470
03:04:39,410 --> 03:04:40,410
people they are often mistaken as humans
4471
03:04:41,930 --> 03:04:42,930
in the story of sodom and gomorrah the
4472
03:04:44,390 --> 03:04:45,390
people wanted to rape the angels we find
4473
03:04:47,271 --> 03:04:48,271
in the bible that the angels that
4474
03:04:48,800 --> 03:04:49,800
decided to rebel and have sex with human
4475
03:04:51,170 --> 03:04:52,170
women had to leave a certain type of
4476
03:04:53,900 --> 03:04:54,900
body and exchange it for another one
4477
03:04:56,390 --> 03:04:57,390
before they could do this the type of
4478
03:04:58,521 --> 03:04:59,521
body that they were said to have left is
4479
03:05:00,410 --> 03:05:01,410
described in this verse as a habitation
4480
03:05:03,740 --> 03:05:04,740
and the angels which kept not their
4481
03:05:05,600 --> 03:05:06,600
first estate but left their own
4482
03:05:07,730 --> 03:05:08,730
habitation he hath reserved in
4483
03:05:10,521 --> 03:05:11,521
everlasting chains under darkness unto
4484
03:05:12,650 --> 03:05:13,650
the judgment of the great day the word
4485
03:05:15,950 --> 03:05:16,950
habitation there is a rare Greek word
4486
03:05:18,350 --> 03:05:19,350
called oka terian which is used only one
4487
03:05:21,140 --> 03:05:22,140
other time in the New Testament to
4488
03:05:22,670 --> 03:05:23,670
describe the type of bodies followers of
4489
03:05:25,250 --> 03:05:26,250
Christ will attain at the resurrection
4490
03:05:27,170 --> 03:05:28,170
of the Dead so basically the Angels were
4491
03:05:29,930 --> 03:05:30,930
said to have left one type of body for
4492
03:05:32,240 --> 03:05:33,240
another type and the second type clearly
4493
03:05:34,790 --> 03:05:35,790
was capable of sex and reproduction
4494
03:05:36,680 --> 03:05:37,680
according to the Bible there is biblical
4495
03:05:39,021 --> 03:05:40,021
precedent for the idea that their flesh
4496
03:05:41,480 --> 03:05:42,480
can
4497
03:05:42,600 --> 03:05:43,600
things our flesh does in other words if
4498
03:05:45,239 --> 03:05:46,239
you're going to assume flesh then it
4499
03:05:47,340 --> 03:05:48,340
brings with it the capacities and in
4500
03:05:49,199 --> 03:05:50,199
some senses the limitations as well in
4501
03:05:51,810 --> 03:05:52,810
other words the Bible in detail explains
4502
03:05:54,300 --> 03:05:55,300
what angels are and what their
4503
03:05:56,220 --> 03:05:57,220
capabilities with their bodies are which
4504
03:05:58,560 --> 03:05:59,560
makes the following line from von
4505
03:06:00,270 --> 03:06:01,270
Daniken even more deceptive how can
4506
03:06:03,210 --> 03:06:04,210
Angels have sex this is impossible
4507
03:06:06,479 --> 03:06:07,479
you know a point in all of you angels
4508
03:06:08,699 --> 03:06:09,699
know something spiritual not something
4509
03:06:10,920 --> 03:06:11,920
as a body and has a feeling of sex but
4510
03:06:13,649 --> 03:06:14,649
they had sex
4511
03:06:14,489 --> 03:06:15,489
von Daniken's idea of an angel is
4512
03:06:16,830 --> 03:06:17,830
defined more by Hallmark cards than
4513
03:06:19,380 --> 03:06:20,380
ancient texts obviously ancient cultures
4514
03:06:22,080 --> 03:06:23,080
including the writers of the Bible
4515
03:06:23,369 --> 03:06:24,369
believed that angels could and did have
4516
03:06:25,979 --> 03:06:26,979
sex with human women the various
4517
03:06:28,290 --> 03:06:29,290
elements of this story are too common in
4518
03:06:30,449 --> 03:06:31,449
ancient cultures to be chalked up to
4519
03:06:32,430 --> 03:06:33,430
coincidence in my opinion but the
4520
03:06:34,649 --> 03:06:35,649
details of these consistent reports do
4521
03:06:37,229 --> 03:06:38,229
not benefit the ancient astronaut theory
4522
03:06:39,390 --> 03:06:40,390
in fact if anything it supports the idea
4523
03:06:42,090 --> 03:06:43,090
that the narrative of the Bible is true
4524
03:06:44,580 --> 03:06:45,580
or at the very least that the specific
4525
03:06:47,040 --> 03:06:48,040
details of that narrative was believed
4526
03:06:49,529 --> 03:06:50,529
by cultures as geographically diverse as
4527
03:06:52,080 --> 03:06:53,080
the Americas the Middle East Asia Europe
4528
03:06:54,869 --> 03:06:55,869
and Africa the idea of the Nephilim is a
4529
03:06:57,449 --> 03:06:58,449
strange idea but the idea that the texts
4530
03:07:00,210 --> 03:07:01,210
which describe them are referring to
4531
03:07:01,859 --> 03:07:02,859
ancient extraterrestrials does not fit
4532
03:07:04,470 --> 03:07:05,470
the evidence which is probably why
4533
03:07:06,510 --> 03:07:07,510
ancient aliens has to misrepresent the
4534
03:07:08,850 --> 03:07:09,850
evidence in order to make their points
4535
03:07:12,050 --> 03:07:13,050
there are many more topics that we could
4536
03:07:14,819 --> 03:07:15,819
have covered in this film like the claim
4537
03:07:17,040 --> 03:07:18,040
that this Egyptian relief is depicting a
4538
03:07:19,319 --> 03:07:20,319
gray alien which in more high-resolution
4539
03:07:21,689 --> 03:07:22,689
pictures can be seen to be a plant and a
4540
03:07:24,750 --> 03:07:25,750
vase which is depicted in many other
4541
03:07:26,970 --> 03:07:27,970
places in Egyptian art or this supposed
4542
03:07:30,540 --> 03:07:31,540
ancient rocket-ship sculpture which
4543
03:07:33,390 --> 03:07:34,390
according to this Turkish article
4544
03:07:35,100 --> 03:07:36,100
written in 2003 is a fake the article
4545
03:07:38,520 --> 03:07:39,520
quotes the curator of the Turkish museum
4546
03:07:40,409 --> 03:07:41,409
saying it's about 25 years old and made
4547
03:07:43,229 --> 03:07:44,229
of plaster ancient aliens goes on to
4548
03:07:45,750 --> 03:07:46,750
make many more claims throughout their
4549
03:07:47,399 --> 03:07:48,399
series but I believe we have covered the
4550
03:07:49,439 --> 03:07:50,439
best that they had to offer in this film
4551
03:07:51,359 --> 03:07:52,359
I could go on to debunk all the other
4552
03:07:53,939 --> 03:07:54,939
claims that they make and to a certain
4553
03:07:55,770 --> 03:07:56,770
extent I
4554
03:07:56,470 --> 03:07:57,470
on the ancient aliens debunked website
4555
03:07:58,689 --> 03:07:59,689
which I hope to make a hub for this type
4556
03:08:00,850 --> 03:08:01,850
of information but the main thing I want
4557
03:08:03,220 --> 03:08:04,220
to stress is that this is not about
4558
03:08:05,319 --> 03:08:06,319
ancient aliens getting a few claims
4559
03:08:07,209 --> 03:08:08,209
wrong here and there but their main
4560
03:08:09,100 --> 03:08:10,100
theory still being true that's not a
4561
03:08:11,649 --> 03:08:12,649
tenable belief in light of this
4562
03:08:13,060 --> 03:08:14,060
information you have seen the
4563
03:08:14,979 --> 03:08:15,979
unmistakable symptoms of the entire
4564
03:08:17,109 --> 03:08:18,109
theory being wrong I would also ask you
4565
03:08:20,020 --> 03:08:21,020
to take a long hard look at the authors
4566
03:08:22,359 --> 03:08:23,359
and speakers and charismatic
4567
03:08:23,939 --> 03:08:24,939
personalities that led you to believe
4568
03:08:26,140 --> 03:08:27,140
some of the things that I hope you can
4569
03:08:27,939 --> 03:08:28,939
now see are wrong I hope that this film
4570
03:08:29,949 --> 03:08:30,949
helps you to realize that they are not
4571
03:08:31,749 --> 03:08:32,749
as smart as they have led us to believe
4572
03:08:33,399 --> 03:08:34,399
and to consider what else they may have
4573
03:08:35,949 --> 03:08:36,949
taught you that isn't true we shouldn't
4574
03:08:38,380 --> 03:08:39,380
allow ourselves to be taken in by this
4575
03:08:40,149 --> 03:08:41,149
kind of thing we must be people with
4576
03:08:42,459 --> 03:08:43,459
higher standards when it comes to
4577
03:08:44,109 --> 03:08:45,109
verifying what is true do not become
4578
03:08:47,409 --> 03:08:48,409
enslaved to an authority figure they
4579
03:08:50,890 --> 03:08:51,890
should always be willing to direct you
4580
03:08:53,979 --> 03:08:54,979
to information so that you can do the
4581
03:08:56,470 --> 03:08:57,470
work and you can check on them if they
4582
03:08:58,930 --> 03:08:59,930
don't you should be suspicious again
4583
03:09:02,079 --> 03:09:03,079
this is just something that as a
4584
03:09:03,159 --> 03:09:04,159
professor as a scholar I try to get my
4585
03:09:06,249 --> 03:09:07,249
students to to consider and think about
4586
03:09:07,930 --> 03:09:08,930
because let's face it how many of us are
4587
03:09:10,390 --> 03:09:11,390
really into this kind of stuff ancient
4588
03:09:13,659 --> 03:09:14,659
languages how many people do that you
4589
03:09:16,479 --> 03:09:17,479
get somebody who comes along like
4590
03:09:17,920 --> 03:09:18,920
zechariah stitch and starts spouting
4591
03:09:19,449 --> 03:09:20,449
things about sumerian and akkadian and
4592
03:09:21,430 --> 03:09:22,430
hebrew and whatnot how many people
4593
03:09:24,159 --> 03:09:25,159
really have the ability to check up on
4594
03:09:27,399 --> 03:09:28,399
them well the answer is not many and it
4595
03:09:31,180 --> 03:09:32,180
just sounds like a horrible amount of
4596
03:09:33,010 --> 03:09:34,010
work to gain that knowledge so that you
4597
03:09:35,319 --> 03:09:36,319
could evaluate what they say and I
4598
03:09:37,539 --> 03:09:38,539
understand that but you should not let
4599
03:09:39,909 --> 03:09:40,909
that allow you to check your brain and
4600
03:09:42,939 --> 03:09:43,939
at the door you should ask that source
4601
03:09:45,340 --> 03:09:46,340
that person hey where can I look what
4602
03:09:47,979 --> 03:09:48,979
can I do what can I access to try to
4603
03:09:51,670 --> 03:09:52,670
