For thousands of
years, people have held a belief

that objects can become
imbued with a mysterious energy.

Everyday objects can become
animate and even enlightened.

Known as talismans,
they are revered in every culture.

The ancient
Sumerians, the Greeks, the Romans...

They thought there was sacred
power in inanimate objects.

And it is
believed that they provide

a connection to a higher realm.

Ancient Egyptian magic
was based on the idea

that a person holding
one of these talismans

actually possessed
the power of the god.

Could it be that
what fuels our faith in talismans

is not superstition,
but a real connection

to something beyond our world?

I think the
reason why many of us put so much value

into these talismans is because
they are a direct connection

to our ancestors

and to some sort
of a celestial power.

There is a
doorway in the universe.

Beyond it is the
promise of truth.

It demands we
question everything

we have ever been taught.

The evidence is all around us.

The future is right
before our eyes.

We are not alone.

We have never been alone.

The cross.

For billions of Christians
throughout the world,

this is the most prominent
symbol of their faith.

It adorns churches,
pulpits, the vestments

of clergy, and
members of the faith.

Representing the
crucifixion of Jesus Christ,

the cross serves as a symbolic
reminder of his sacrifice.

But for many, it is
not merely a symbol.

It is an object of power, and
serves as a modern-day example

of a very ancient concept:

the talisman.

Throughout history, possibly
throughout pre-history,

human beings have always
had an ongoing love affair

with talismans.

Talismans
are found throughout cultures

from South America
to the Middle East,

to Africa, to East
Asia and Europe.

They are found everywhere,

and they share a lot
of common features.

They are primarily material
concretions of the divine.

Of supernatural power.

Talismans provide
a physical anchoring

for what is usually invisible.

The word "talisman"
actually means

"to consecrate and to fulfill."

And it's thought that
they actually fulfill

or amplify the will or
desire of the person using it.

The
Iroquois, the Native American group,

had this energy in things.

It was called Orenda. The
Japanese Shinto tradition

believed that physical
objects had soul.

The ancient Sumerians,
the Greeks, the Romans,

they thought there was

the possibility of sacred
power in inanimate objects.

Talismans can be big or small.

They can be carried, they
can be installed in buildings.

There are all
kinds of talismans.

There are talismans
for protection.

There are talismans for healing.

And there are a lot of talismans

for religious purposes,
which are used

to feel closer or connected to

a religious character,
a saint, or even a god.

The earliest talismans
that we have records of,

specifically, are bear
claws for helping the hunt,

eagle talons for
personal strength,

and what are called
Venus figurines for fertility.

Even in the 21st
century talismans are big.

Many people might not
think of them as talismans,

but you have Saint
Christopher medals

for travelers, you
have Christian crosses,

and you often see people
touching them or holding them.

And they do think
of them as talismans.

They do think it actually
protects them in some way.

Throughout all of human history,

and in every culture, people
have assigned certain objects

with extraordinary powers.

But why?

What is behind
this enduring belief?

The talisman helps us
bridge the seen and the unseen.

The spirit and matter.

The sacred dimension is
really beyond our understanding.

We can't see it.

We can believe in it, but
it would be nice to touch.

And that's the bridging function

of a talisman or an amulet.

The talisman can be a
constant reminder that someone

or something is
watching over you.

And I think a lot of people can
find comfort and solace in that.

Even for nonreligious believers,

talismans can be a concretion

that is physical of the
presence of the invisible.

Any physical object
has the potential to be a talisman,

but there are certain talismans
that appear all over the world

and in many different cultures.

The talismans that I
find the most mysterious

are those that
employ the human eye.

And they're mysterious
precisely because they appear

all over the world, amidst
cultures that are separated

by vast differences in time,
geography, custom, language,

from Siberia to Polynesia.

Literally, human
beings, for millennia,

have been devising talismans
in the shape of an eye.

The most famous, of course,
being the Egyptian Eye of Horus,

but they occupy every culture,
every territory, every time.

And that common
language is fascinating.

Curiously, this
talisman serves the same function

in nearly every culture
in which it appears,

which is to protect against
what is commonly known

as the curse of the evil eye.

The evil eye goes back
at least 5,000 years.

You can go back to Mesopotamia,

you can go back
to ancient Egypt.

The definition of the evil
eye is basically a curse.

And it is transmitted
through a glance.

So, the evil eye is born
from the emotion of envy,

of jealousy, of
greed, of resentment.

And we see there are many
different types of amulets

that deflect this
negative energy.

Today, you can find the evil
eye just about everywhere.

You have jewelry, the evil eye
beads, which is called a nazar,

of the blue and
the white circles.

The hamsa.

People will hang
hamsas on their doors,

above their desks,
they tie them on cribs.

So, you can see these
amulets everywhere,

and they are all to deflect

the curse that is
unleashed from the evil eye.

As the
evil eye is for protection

and the Venus
figurine is for fertility,

many talismans take forms
that are directly connected

to their intended purpose.

But there are some whose
origins are far more mysterious.

One talisman that many
people around the world

wear around their neck

or as a bracelet is the
so-called Merkabah.

The Merkabah is a
concept that comes

from the Hebrew faith,
and "Merkabah," translated

into plain English,
is "chariot."

It actually ties in with
the story of Ezekiel,

in which he describes,
as an eyewitness,

what he saw up in the sky.

In the Hebrew
bible's Book of Ezekiel,

the prophet Ezekiel describes
witnessing a fiery chariot

with wheels within wheels,

descending from
the sky in a whirlwind.

Not only did he see these
wheels within a wheel up in the sky,

but that thing
landed in front of him,

and somebody came out.

And Ezekiel himself is actually

taken inside this craft.

So, the Merkabah is a
transportation device.

I find it fascinating
that the Merkabah now

is just, for protection.

It's for you know, longevity.

It is for procreation,
which are all great things.

But when I read that Merkabah
means "celestial chariot,"

that's when my ears perk up.

The book itself
is among the most mystical texts.

And so, when you
do that connection,

and you look at the Merkabah,
you can really get the idea

that it creates a
connection to another realm,

metaphorically, but then,
also, I do believe, too,

that people who wear it do sense

some sort of a portal
into something else.

Is it
possible that the Merkabah...

That is still worn by
millions of people today...

Was inspired by an
extraterrestrial visitation?

And if so, might this be
true of other talismans

as well, and the belief
that inanimate objects

can be imbued with energy?

Perhaps further clues
can be found by examining

the most prominent
and mysterious talismans

of ancient Egypt.

Thebes, Egypt.

Here, in the 1830s,
British Egyptologist

Sir John Gardner Wilkinson

discovered the
earliest known version

of what the ancient
Egyptians referred to as

"The Book of the Dead."

This text, dating
back 3,600 years,

was a key component of
Egyptian funerary rituals

and detailed as many
as 75 talismanic objects,

each with a specific purpose

for both the living
and the dead.

Ancient Egyptian magic was
based on the idea that the gods

could imbue an object
with magical powers,

with superpowers.

That a person holding
one of these talismans

actually possessed
the power of the god,

and then could heal themselves,

protect themselves,
manipulate their environment.

The Egyptians utilized
talismans in a very special way.

The actual physical
object of the talisman...

What it was created
from... is important.

Was it a scarab carved
out of lapis lazuli?

Was it important stone?
How was it inscribed?

The ancient
Egyptians often made talismans

from a type of limestone
called lapis lazuli,

which they believed
would provide good fortune,

as well as protection during
the journey to the afterlife.

Another powerful talismanic
material was moldavite,

a type of green glass
formed by a meteor impact

super heating the desert sand.

A protective heart scarab
made of moldavite was found

in the tomb of King Tut,
and the Egyptians believed

it provided a connection
to the cosmos.

The origins of
the moldavite are extraterrestrial,

and people believed that you
can use the stone as a talisman,

um, to connect with
extraterrestrial energy.

It's bringing the
properties that

are from an extraterrestrial
world into ours.

For the ancient Egyptians,

just as important
as the material

from which a talisman was
made was the shape that it took.

The design of each talisman
invoked a certain energy.

The people believed
they could gain access

to the gods through, well,
little figurines of the gods,

or-or animals, although some
of them were very abstract,

even technological-looking.

Arguably, one of the
oldest and certainly the most popular

and common talismans in
human history is the Egyptian ankh,

which is sometimes
called the "Key of Life,"

which resembles a cross
with a loop on the top of it.

The ankh symbolized
the goddess Isis.

Carrying the ankh was
believed to imbue you

with a lifeforce and a vitality

that came directly as a gift
from the goddess herself.

The ankh is of enormous
importance to the Egyptians.

And you have gods carrying them.

Especially the god Anubis,
the jackal-headed god,

who ushers you
into the afterlife.

And when he points it towards

the mummy of the deceased,

he's aiding in the first
stages of resurrection

and, indeed, reincarnation.

The ankh often
associated with a second symbol

known as the djed pillar.

This was the representation
of the backbone

of the god named Osiris.

But what the
djed pillar represented in terms of

talismanic use was stability.

Carrying the djed pillar
was to keep you stable

and to protect you from chaos.

The forces of evil in Egyptology
were the forces of chaos.

These two
symbols together represented

life and stability,

and they were shown
being given by a god

to the current pharaoh
to bring stability

to his or her own reign
during their lifetime.

But beyond this, it was a
symbol of communication,

also, with the gods themselves.

In Egyptian
mythology, the gods Osiris and Isis

are husband and wife,
and they came to Earth

from the belt stars of
the Orion constellation.

When the talismans
that represent them...

The ankh and the djed
pillar... were combined,

it was believed to
facilitate a connection

to these otherworldly entities.

And in some cases, these
objects were associated

the was-scepter.

The was-scepter was a type
of baton, a scepter, a stick.

And at the top, there
was the representation

of an animal's head, most
often believed to be a jackal.

It was a symbol of dominion.
It was a symbol of power.

The was-scepter
was used by the gods

and the was-scepter was
also used by the pharaoh.

The was-scepter was not
used by common people.

It was only used
by people of power.

The was-scepter,
combined with the ankh

and the djed pillar, becomes
a symbol of absolute power.

You have to ask the question,
well, how are they related?

And frankly, especially the
djed pillar and the was-scepter,

they look very
technological in origin.

What is
curious about the djed pillar

is its resemblance

to a Tesla coil or an
electrical conductor.

Is it possible, therefore,
that the ancient Egyptians

modeled the djed pillar
on some kind of device

that they had that could
generate electricity?

Is it possible
that the ancient Egyptians

witnessed
far-advanced technology

that they then
misinterpreted as magic?

And therefore, a
mythology was created

around these objects
suggesting, well,

if you have an ankh
around your neck

or if you have a djed
pillar around your neck

or something like this,
it is imbued with power.

It would seem
these djed pillars,

which people would
carry around as amulets,

were imitations

of really high-tech
extraterrestrial devices.

The three
powerful talismans of ancient Egypt

inspired scepters that
are still incorporated

in royal ceremonies today,

like those used
for the coronation

of King Charles III
of England in 2023.

And they continue to symbolize

divinely granted authority.

The British monarchy
is the classic example

of a modern monarchy
that still uses talismans,

the scepter, that have these
ancient antecedents in Egypt

that convey the
idea that the monarch

is now separated from humans

and is much closer to the gods

than any other
human being on Earth.

Could it
be that ceremonial objects

still being used today are
rooted in ancient talismans

that were fashioned after
extraterrestrial technology?

Perhaps further
clues can be found

by examining talismans that

represent the gods themselves.

In cultures
throughout the world,

there are talismans that
take the shape of divine

or celestial beings

and are believed
to hold a connection

to the entities they depict.

In some cultures,
these talismans

are even considered to be alive.

In Buddhism and many other,
East Asian religious traditions,

statues or iconographic
representations

of deities are paramount.

And typically,

when carving a statue
that represents a deity,

the last part to be
carved are the eyes

because that's
what gives them life.

So, they're considered to
be alive, and at the point

when the eyes are opened,

this is when the
essence of the deity

descends into the
statue or the image.

They are venerated, of course,
they are cleaned and washed.

They are fed through offerings,

and these are considered
to be the equivalent

to having the deity
present in front of you.

For ancient astronaut theorists,

some of the most intriguing
talismanic objects ever made

can be found on the East
Asian islands of Japan.

Here, the Jomon people,

who emerged roughly
12,000 years ago,

created thousands of figurines

depicting strange,
humanoid beings.

The earliest culture that we can
identify in Japan is the Jomon,

which is originally
a Stone Age culture

running roughly from
10,000 BCE to 300 BCE.

The little that
we do know about the Jomon

comes from
archaeological evidence.

And one of the most
representative artifacts

that is tied to the
Jomon is the dogu statue.

There are over
15,000 dogu figurines,

that date back
to the Jomon period

that are spread all over Japan.

They are thought to be
some kind of talismanic object,

but their appearance
is very striking.

They're humanoid in form,

but they don't look like
anything properly human.

Many of them have
heart-shaped heads

and they wear suits
that seem otherworldly.

A variety of these
dogu figurines

also seem to be wearing goggles,

as one would find
on astronaut helmets

or some kind of
advanced technology.

If you go to
Japan today, at the museums,

you can find
countless dogu statues,

and some of which
are still used today

in Japanese
households in a shrine.

The Shinto religion suggests
that any inanimate object

can be imbued with a soul.

And Shintoism is the
primary religion of Japan.

According to Shinto tradition,

certain objects
can come to life.

They can become animate
and, sentient as well.

Household objects,
everyday objects, tools

can become animate
and even enlightened.

They worship
what they call the kami,

which are these celestial
beings that come down

from their celestial
palace in the sky.

And these figurines look
like these humanoid beings

that are in some
type of space suits.

And of course, the ancient
astronaut's suggestion

is that they were created after

the extraterrestrials visited
Earth in a remote past.

Could it be that the
mysterious dogu figures are, in fact,

imbued with some type
of metaphysical energy?

And if so, might this energy

have been imparted
by otherworldly beings

that the dogu were
modeled after?

You have, also,
these figurines from Sumeria

that are showing people with
these extremely large eyes.

They also are talismans,

and they look very
much like extraterrestrials.

And they were carrying
them around in their pocket

or in a little altar
in their house.

In Sierra Leone, Africa,

hundreds of strange,
humanoid figurines

with amphibian features
were unearthed in the 1990s.

Called the nomoli, they
are believed to date back

at least 17,000 years.

In Southern Iraq, figurines
of reptilian humanoids

have been discovered
that date to 5900 BC.

And perhaps the most
mysterious artifacts of all

are the large-eyed clay figures

found in Tell Brak, Syria,

that are more than
5,500 years old.

You have the figurines
that were unearthed at Tell Brak,

and they have large eyes,

and they are very,
very much reminiscent,

in some cases if not identical,

to the image of
aliens, of Greys.

When we think of ET, the
image that comes to mind

is always the really large eyes.

They are very, very reminiscent

of even ET himself
from the movie.

Tens of
thousands of these objects

have been recovered,

and it's enormously intriguing

to find this
similarity of design

in objects among ancient
people who were separated

by vast differences in
culture, custom, language.

Were these mythological ideas,

or did they come from
actual experiences with aliens,

who were then
perceived to be sky gods?

Is it possible
that the gods depicted

in many ancient talismans
are representations

of otherworldly beings
that our ancestors

actually encountered?

Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes.

And as further evidence,
point to special talismans

that feature
writings and symbols

said to have been sent
down from the heavens.

Sanliurfa, Turkey.

Here, on a rocky mountaintop,

stands one of the oldest
and most astonishing

archaeological sites in
the world: Gobekli Tepe.

This ancient megalithic complex

features nearly two
dozen enormous

T-shaped limestone pillars

and has been dated
to roughly 10,000 BC,

long before the
first known writing

or the invention of the wheel.

Gobekli Tepe
features many carvings

that include
depictions of animals,

human hands,

and intricately
designed symbols.

But most intriguing to
ancient astronaut theorists

is a carving of three handbags.

The oldest symbols in all
iconography is the handbag.

When we go back to Gobekli Tepe,

12,000 years old,
we find a carving

of these three handbags

that appear above
this bird-like creature.

And what's fascinating
about this is that you can find

carvings of similar
handbags about 400 miles

to the south, where the
ancient Sumerians lived.

And there, the handbags are held

by these winged figures
with bird-like heads

called Anunnaki.

We find them at Tula, in Mexico.

What is the meaning
of this handbag?

All around the world, on
many carvings and figurines

and drawings, you see
these ancient deities

holding on to some
sort of a handbag.

This motif of a handbag
exists worldwide,

in pretty much all
ancient cultures.

Is it merely coincidence

that this mysterious
handbag motif is repeated

around the world and in
a vast range of cultures?

Ancient astronaut
theorists say no.

And some suggest that these bags

have a connection to talismans.

One theory
is that these handbags

are containers of talismans
brought by the gods

that contain all the
wisdom of the universe.

The ancient Sumerian texts tell
us that these handbags contained

the me tablets of the gods.

These are the
tablets of destiny.

The tablets of civilization.

The tablets that contain
all the working knowledge

of the earthly world, as
well as the heavenly world.

The Sumerian
tablets also tell of a figure

named Adapa, who was
the bringer of civilization

and carried a bag that
contained all the knowledge

that humanity would ever need.

They may have been,
literally, handbags,

in that they contained
something very useful.

The ancient priests,
almost across the board...

We're talking ancient
Egyptian, Sumer, you name it...

They, one way or another,

would communicate,
they believed, with the gods

or spirits, who would
give them information.

And what if these handbags
contained something that was

significant and highly
important to their rituals?

While researchers can
only speculate as to the true meaning

behind the handbag motif
found throughout the world,

other talismans exist that,

according to those
who create them,

are directly inspired
by otherworldly beings.

There's a special
class of talismans

in East Asian traditions

that are considered to
be the most powerful,

and they are actually inscribed

in a, illegible language

that is considered to be
the language of the gods.

Known as fulu,
these talismans can be found

in Taoist, Buddhist,
and Shinto traditions.

Very little is known
about the origin of the fulu,

and they are made
even more mysterious

by the fact that
they feature script

that does not belong
to any earthly language.

Fulu are made by priests
who claim to receive visions

of so-called "magic writing."

Although the priests are not
able to comprehend this writing,

they understand it
to be the language

of the gods and
inscribe what they see

on objects such
as coins or amulets.

They're typically made
up of commands or injunctions

or requests addressed
to divine beings

in their own language.

They are revealed
spontaneously sometimes

in dreams or through visions.

And another feature of these

extremely powerful talismans
is that they are adorned

with constellations.

And these function, in
some cases, as a way

to call down the
gods from those stars.

In other cases, they can
actually function as passports

to an ecstatic journey from
Earth to the stars directly.

The practitioner either
leaves their body to go directly

to those stars or experiences
this through a series

of very powerful and
inspirational visions.

Some of the most
powerful talismans are inscribed

with messages received through
some kind of, divine source.

It's almost like the
higher intelligence

is speaking to you directly.

It would seem that
certain talismans...

They could all be inspired
by extraterrestrials.

If objects like the fulu
and the mysterious handbags depicted

in various cultures
possess a real link

to otherworldly beings,
then might they contain

some type of hidden power?

Perhaps further clues
can be found by examining

a recent scientific experiment
that appeared to capture

a thermal anomaly
triggered by a talisman.

On Easter Sunday,
thousands gathered in St. Peter's Square

bow their heads as
Pope Francis performs

the Liturgy of the Eucharist

and consecrates the
offerings of bread and wine.

According to
the Roman Catholic tradition,

during the mass, the priest
is empowered by the prayers

that energize the bread and
the wine such that they become

transformed, or
transubstantiated,

into the living presence of the
body and the blood of Christ.

Transubstantiation is one
of the Catholic Church's

most exalted mysteries.

And Catholics believe
that, through this

transubstantiation miracle,
or process, somehow

these ordinary wafers
and ordinary wine become,

as a matter of fact, the
blood and body of Jesus.

In the
example of the Catholic Mass,

the recitation of
the eucharist prayer

is believed to infuse the bread
and wine with an outside energy.

Similarly, many cultures
hold the belief that talismans

can become energized through
spoken words or sacred sounds.

Throughout all
sorts of cultures,

ancient African cultures,
South American, Sumer,

ancient Egypt, you name it,

the power of the word
was quite something.

Egyptians used magical
words over all the talismans.

Talismans that they carried.

Talismans that they
buried the dead with.

All of these items

would have magical words spoken
over them, chanted over them.

In South Asian traditions, um,

tantric Buddhism,

for example or Hinduism,
um, and even Jainism,

the power of the spoken
word is paramount.

Words unlock divine
potential in the talismans.

Spoken words and sacred sounds

also play a critical role
in Native American rituals,

especially in connection
to certain places or objects.

If you go to
Native American ceremonies,

you see that repeating
certain phrases

are essential to the ritual.

The words are the conveyor.

The word is the portal
to the sacred dimension.

Is it
possible that certain words,

when spoken, can imbue objects

with talismanic power,

perhaps unlocking
gateways to other dimensions,

and even otherworldly beings?

Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes

and point to recent
experiments conducted

at one of the most
mysterious sites in the world:

Skinwalker Ranch.

Located in Northern
Utah, this 512-acre property

has been a hotbed
of UFO sightings

and other mysterious
phenomena for more than a century.

Today, a team of
researchers, which includes

astrophysicist
Dr. Travis Taylor,

is conducting scientific
experiments across the property,

and has documented
numerous startling anomalies,

including a number of
unidentified aerial phenomena.

- Hey, look, J.P., right there!
- Yep. I see it.

Some of which
have vanished into thin air.

It's gone.

According to the traditions

of the Indigenous Navajo
people in the Uintah Basin,

the phenomena that
occurs on Skinwalker Ranch

is actually related to
interdimensional portals.

And they believe that
by utilizing certain words

and sound frequencies,
particularly in conjunction

with talismanic objects,
these portals can be opened.

Within Native American culture,
there are music, there's chants.

There's things that are
done at a certain frequency,

and we believe
that it's very possible

that different frequencies
can open portals

to other places.

In 2022,

an organization of
Indigenous tribal members

known as Blazing Bear

were invited to Skinwalker Ranch

in order to perform
an ancient song ritual

near a megalithic
spiral of boulders.

A formation that was
created centuries ago

and is believed to
hold talismanic power.

A circle of
stones that were purposely

set up in a circle
could be a portal area.

Maybe with all our
scientific instruments,

we can nail it
down a little better.

As night
falls on Skinwalker Ranch,

the Blazing Bear drummers
continue their song ritual

near the spiral of boulders.

The investigative
team filmed the event

using a thermal camera.

- Right there.
- And almost immediately,

they spotted an anomaly.

Well, when they started singing,

the temperature
literally changed.

Look at the top of the mesa!

Eric, the stone circle
is where it's heating up

- on top of the mesa.
- Are you kidding me?

You should
see this. This is fascinating.

Right there... that's
where the stone circle is.

And it's heating up.
Look how hot it's getting.

Is it possible
that a spiral of boulders

was imbued with
talismanic powers

by the words and sounds
of an ancient, sacred ritual?

While many cultures
throughout history have believed

that sounds can infuse
objects with otherworldly powers,

there are those who suggest
even more profound talismans

can be created from
the remains of the dead.

Clay figurines
believed to be sentient.

Coins inscribed with
the language of the gods.

A spiral of boulders said to
open an interdimensional portal.

Many talismans are considered
to possess great power,

but perhaps none more than
the remains of holy figures.

Human remains
have been used as talismans

since the beginning of time.

In the last 2,000 years, we
tend to think of human remains

in terms of relics...

Holy relics used
primarily by Christians,

in order to connect
them to the saints

who they are praying
to as an intercessor

between them and to God.

It's the idea
that just being in the presence

of this tiny bit of bone is
touching you with the divine.

The tip of a little
finger belonging

to Saint John the
Baptist, for example,

has become hotly
contested over the centuries.

Because saints
and other holy figures are seen

as transcending humanity

and having a
connection to the divine,

their remains are considered
to hold special power.

With these
talismans, it's as if that energy,

that power that
these people had,

is still embedded in
pieces of their body,

such as bones or skulls or hair.

While it may
sound like a primitive notion...

That a bone fragment
or a piece of fabric

retains a connection
to the person

it once belonged to...

Some researchers suggest
it is not so far-fetched

and point to the
modern-day scientific concept

of quantum entanglement.

Quantum entanglement says
that if two objects' particles

were ever connected,
they're forever connected.

And you can link with a
being clear across the universe

through an object through
quantum entanglement.

Quantum entanglement
is based on the idea that electrons

are like waves, and
if I have two electrons

right next to each other, they
wave simultaneously, coherently.

If I separate them,

there's a invisible
umbilical cord

that connects these two,

even if I separate them,
to the ends of the universe.

Is that what talismans
are ultimately all about...

Some kind of quantum
entanglement device?

A god originally touched
or possessed an object

and it still has the
energy of that god.

I think it's very possible.

Could there
really be a scientific explanation

behind the ancient
notion that objects

can possess a connection
to some otherworldly power?

And if so, was this
taught to our ancestors

by extraterrestrial visitors?

The mythology
brings us back to this idea of the gods.

Were these mythological ideas

or did they come from
actual experiences with aliens

who were then
perceived to be sky gods,

aliens who came forth
and communicated?

It may be
that, really, in the past,

the early talismans
were ET technology,

real devices that
could do things.

We see talismans in
pretty much any culture

in modern day society
because of belief.

It is faith in an object

that it is imbued with some
sort of a divine or celestial power.

And you have to ask
the question, why?

I think that has to do
with extraterrestrials

that visited Earth
in a remote past.

Could it be that the talismans

we continue to carry
with us and revere

provide a connection
to an incredible past

when ancient people
encountered visitors

from other worlds?

And if so, is this
connection merely symbolic

or might these
objects of veneration

possess a profound power

that we are not yet
equipped to understand?

Perhaps it is through talismans

that our
extraterrestrial ancestors

have remained
among us all along.
