00:00:05,353 --> 00:00:07,790
DAVID CHILDRESS:
We see this unusual
keyhole shape
3
00:00:07,833 --> 00:00:10,662
as decoration for these gods.
4
00:00:10,706 --> 00:00:13,752
NARRATOR:
It appears in mystic texts.
5
00:00:13,796 --> 00:00:18,322
The Secret Seal of Solomon
has that interesting shape.
6
00:00:18,366 --> 00:00:23,066
NARRATOR:
It was incorporated
in sacred architecture.
7
00:00:23,110 --> 00:00:25,373
If you look at this
from above...
8
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:27,636
...it's this keyhole shape,
9
00:00:27,679 --> 00:00:29,594
and that to me is fascinating.
10
00:00:29,638 --> 00:00:31,944
I am literally wowed by this.
11
00:00:31,988 --> 00:00:35,687
NARRATOR:
And it exists
all over the planet.
12
00:00:35,731 --> 00:00:38,995
ANDREW COLLINS:
Why is that there are
so many cultures that use
13
00:00:39,039 --> 00:00:40,997
the keyhole shape
around the world?
14
00:00:41,041 --> 00:00:44,044
Is there some commonality
to all of this?
15
00:00:44,087 --> 00:00:48,048
NARRATOR:
Could this cryptic symbol
represent a connection
16
00:00:48,091 --> 00:00:51,790
to beings that came to Earth
thousands of years ago?
17
00:00:51,834 --> 00:00:54,880
ERICH VON DANIKEN:
We were visited by beings
from outer space.
18
00:00:54,924 --> 00:00:57,666
And they left clues
on this planet Earth.
19
00:00:57,709 --> 00:01:01,061
GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS:
There is an extraterrestrial
message
20
00:01:01,104 --> 00:01:03,585
inside this keyhole shape.
21
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,198
NARRATOR:
There is a doorway
22
00:01:08,242 --> 00:01:10,896
in the universe.
23
00:01:10,940 --> 00:01:15,075
Beyond it is
the promise of truth.
24
00:01:15,118 --> 00:01:17,773
It demands
we question everything
25
00:01:17,816 --> 00:01:20,036
we have ever been taught.
26
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,779
The evidence is all around us.
27
00:01:23,822 --> 00:01:27,478
The future is
right before our eyes.
28
00:01:27,522 --> 00:01:30,786
We are not alone.
29
00:01:30,829 --> 00:01:33,789
We have never been alone.
30
00:01:42,798 --> 00:01:44,626
NARRATOR:
Waterford, Virginia.
31
00:01:44,669 --> 00:01:46,758
2013.
32
00:01:46,802 --> 00:01:51,633
Cydonia Institute researcher
George Haas is combing through
33
00:01:51,676 --> 00:01:55,071
images of Mars when something
catches his eye.
34
00:01:55,115 --> 00:01:59,554
A large formation protruding
from the surface of the planet
35
00:01:59,597 --> 00:02:02,426
that displays
extraordinary symmetry.
36
00:02:02,470 --> 00:02:04,950
He is struck by the fact
37
00:02:04,994 --> 00:02:07,562
that there are no other
large geographical features
38
00:02:07,605 --> 00:02:09,129
around it,
39
00:02:09,172 --> 00:02:12,567
and it has the distinct shape
of a keyhole.
40
00:02:12,610 --> 00:02:14,569
HAAS:
When you initially look at it,
41
00:02:14,612 --> 00:02:17,093
it looks like something
that someone made.
42
00:02:17,137 --> 00:02:20,444
So, when scientists are lookingfor signs of activity
43
00:02:20,488 --> 00:02:24,100
on another planet, they'relooking for structural symmetry,
44
00:02:24,144 --> 00:02:27,756
determining if this is possibly
just something nature made
45
00:02:27,799 --> 00:02:30,019
or something that humans
or extraterrestrials
46
00:02:30,062 --> 00:02:31,499
had a hand in.
47
00:02:31,542 --> 00:02:34,763
What we're seeing on Mars
could be evidence
48
00:02:34,806 --> 00:02:36,199
of intelligent design
49
00:02:36,243 --> 00:02:39,289
by some unknown
extraterrestrial culture.
50
00:02:39,333 --> 00:02:41,509
The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter
51
00:02:41,552 --> 00:02:44,729
took amazing detailed maps
52
00:02:44,773 --> 00:02:46,731
of pretty much
the whole surface of Mars.
53
00:02:46,775 --> 00:02:50,474
And there are some
anomalous pictures.
54
00:02:50,518 --> 00:02:55,175
It's very much worth humanity's
while to travel there
55
00:02:55,218 --> 00:02:58,874
and find out for sure,
are these artificial or not?
56
00:03:01,442 --> 00:03:05,097
NARRATOR:
Could it be that this strangely
symmetrical formation on Mars
57
00:03:05,141 --> 00:03:07,578
is really
an artificial structure,
58
00:03:07,622 --> 00:03:10,799
built by
an extraterrestrial race?
59
00:03:10,842 --> 00:03:13,454
For ancient astronaut theorists,
60
00:03:13,497 --> 00:03:16,326
what makes this image
even more intriguing
61
00:03:16,370 --> 00:03:20,287
is the fact that strikingly
similar man-made structures
62
00:03:20,330 --> 00:03:22,463
exist here on Earth.
63
00:03:27,076 --> 00:03:29,252
Osaka, Japan.
64
00:03:29,296 --> 00:03:32,473
Today, this bustling metropolis
65
00:03:32,516 --> 00:03:35,650
is famous as one
of Japan's cultural centers
66
00:03:35,693 --> 00:03:38,305
of food, fashion and finance.
67
00:03:38,348 --> 00:03:41,830
But in its southern suburb
of Sakai
68
00:03:41,873 --> 00:03:44,789
lies an ancient
and mysterious monument:
69
00:03:44,833 --> 00:03:48,445
a megalithic tomb
called Daisen Kofun.
70
00:03:48,489 --> 00:03:54,277
It rises up 35 feet
above the surrounding area
71
00:03:54,321 --> 00:03:58,020
and is 1,600 feet long
72
00:03:58,063 --> 00:04:00,327
and 980 feet wide,
73
00:04:00,370 --> 00:04:02,503
and it's encircled
by three moats,
74
00:04:02,546 --> 00:04:05,984
making the entire edifice
cover a space
75
00:04:06,028 --> 00:04:08,726
of five million square feet.
76
00:04:08,770 --> 00:04:12,295
COLLINS: You can only really
appreciate what it represents
77
00:04:12,339 --> 00:04:13,949
by going up into the air,
78
00:04:13,992 --> 00:04:17,257
looking down on it,
because you then see
79
00:04:17,300 --> 00:04:20,303
that it's an enormous
keyhole shape.
80
00:04:20,347 --> 00:04:23,915
NARRATOR:
The Daisen Kofun is merely
the largest
81
00:04:23,959 --> 00:04:28,572
of more than 160,000 kofuns
that dot Japan.
82
00:04:29,617 --> 00:04:31,532
There are hundreds
of these tombs,
83
00:04:31,575 --> 00:04:35,275
built between around 300 AD
to around 600 AD...
84
00:04:36,667 --> 00:04:37,842
...all over Japan.
85
00:04:37,886 --> 00:04:39,757
So what were these?
86
00:04:39,801 --> 00:04:42,978
Were these really just tombs
built for emperors and kings,
87
00:04:43,021 --> 00:04:45,067
or were they
something else altogether?
88
00:04:45,110 --> 00:04:50,072
WILLIAM HENRY:
The keyhole shape can only
be seen from the air.
89
00:04:50,115 --> 00:04:52,727
And we're told that the ancient
Japanese did not have a means
90
00:04:52,770 --> 00:04:56,121
of getting into the sky
to appreciate this shape.
91
00:04:56,165 --> 00:05:00,125
So there's a great mystery hereabout why the keyhole shape?
92
00:05:00,169 --> 00:05:04,913
NARRATOR:
Some researchers suggest that
the purpose of the keyhole shape
93
00:05:04,956 --> 00:05:08,830
can be traced back
to the first kofun ever built.
94
00:05:10,484 --> 00:05:12,964
The first of these tombs
is associated
95
00:05:13,008 --> 00:05:16,228
with the first historical
Japanese emperor,
96
00:05:16,272 --> 00:05:18,622
Emperor Sujin,
97
00:05:18,666 --> 00:05:22,583
in whose record in the book of
ancient mythology, the Kojiki,
98
00:05:22,626 --> 00:05:27,501
a keyhole of a door actually
also plays an important part.
99
00:05:27,544 --> 00:05:30,678
NARRATOR:
According to the story
in the Kojiki,
100
00:05:30,721 --> 00:05:34,290
a young woman becomes
impregnated by a powerful god
101
00:05:34,334 --> 00:05:36,771
who comes to her room
through a keyhole,
102
00:05:36,814 --> 00:05:39,948
then gives birth
to semi-divine children.
103
00:05:39,991 --> 00:05:43,908
Another story
from the same text tells
104
00:05:43,952 --> 00:05:46,781
that the Japanese royal family
are all descendants
105
00:05:46,824 --> 00:05:51,307
of Amaterasu, who came
from the celestial plane.
106
00:05:53,657 --> 00:05:56,007
TSOUKALOS:
So, what's the deal here?
107
00:05:56,051 --> 00:06:00,838
Why do we have these stories
of someone coming from the sky?
108
00:06:00,882 --> 00:06:03,450
They also describe them
as having come down
109
00:06:03,493 --> 00:06:07,758
from their celestial palace,
which is called Takamagahara.
110
00:06:07,802 --> 00:06:10,282
It's right there.
111
00:06:10,326 --> 00:06:13,329
Our ancestors did not have words
112
00:06:13,373 --> 00:06:16,550
for extraterrestrials or aliens
113
00:06:16,593 --> 00:06:19,509
or any other creature
coming from another planet,
114
00:06:19,553 --> 00:06:23,339
because it didn't exist
at the time.
115
00:06:23,383 --> 00:06:24,862
So you've got to wonder
116
00:06:24,906 --> 00:06:29,867
if these keyhole-shaped kofun
117
00:06:29,911 --> 00:06:32,174
aren't something
that were actually designed
118
00:06:32,217 --> 00:06:34,872
by extraterrestrials.
119
00:06:34,916 --> 00:06:38,920
There's something about
that shape, it has meaning.
120
00:06:38,963 --> 00:06:42,053
Are these sites
signaling somebody
121
00:06:42,097 --> 00:06:44,752
who is apparently in the sky?
122
00:06:47,842 --> 00:06:51,236
NARRATOR:
Is it possible that the design
of the Japanese kofuns
123
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:55,850
was inspired by contact
with otherworldly visitors?
124
00:06:55,893 --> 00:07:00,028
As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,
125
00:07:00,071 --> 00:07:02,857
this symbol may offer
an important clue
126
00:07:02,900 --> 00:07:07,731
about alien intervention
in Earth's distant past.
127
00:07:07,775 --> 00:07:10,255
And as further evidence
of its significance,
128
00:07:10,299 --> 00:07:12,475
they point to
much more recently discovered
129
00:07:12,519 --> 00:07:14,695
keyhole-shaped structures
130
00:07:14,738 --> 00:07:18,133
that were also made
to be seen from above.
131
00:07:21,484 --> 00:07:23,399
Khaybar, Saudi Arabia.
132
00:07:23,443 --> 00:07:26,228
May 2017.
133
00:07:26,271 --> 00:07:29,840
An archaeological team
conducting an aerial survey
134
00:07:29,884 --> 00:07:31,538
of the Saudi Arabian desert
135
00:07:31,581 --> 00:07:34,410
makes an extraordinary
discovery:
136
00:07:34,454 --> 00:07:38,022
a series of
mysterious stone structures.
137
00:07:38,066 --> 00:07:43,811
Among them are 19 formations
in the shape of keyholes,
138
00:07:43,854 --> 00:07:46,901
formed by walls roughly
three feet high.
139
00:07:48,816 --> 00:07:52,080
NEWMAN:
These were keyhole-shaped
kind of enclosures
140
00:07:52,123 --> 00:07:54,125
built of quite large stones
141
00:07:54,169 --> 00:07:56,432
and earth, and there
were hundreds of them
142
00:07:56,476 --> 00:07:57,825
across the landscape.
143
00:07:57,868 --> 00:08:00,218
And they're thought to be
thousands of years old,
144
00:08:00,262 --> 00:08:02,177
but no one knows who built them.
145
00:08:02,220 --> 00:08:04,179
No one knows why
they were there,
146
00:08:04,222 --> 00:08:08,966
but they have this sacred symbol
of the keyhole as the design.
147
00:08:09,010 --> 00:08:12,274
So the keyhole shape
is a combination
148
00:08:12,317 --> 00:08:15,103
of the triangle and the circle,
149
00:08:15,146 --> 00:08:19,194
and the circle is often
a representation of the Sun
150
00:08:19,237 --> 00:08:21,196
and the Moon
and other heavenly objects,
151
00:08:21,239 --> 00:08:23,938
whereas the triangle shape
is really the pyramid shape,
152
00:08:23,981 --> 00:08:27,158
and that is a representation
of the Earth.
153
00:08:27,202 --> 00:08:30,988
So it really could be
a representation
154
00:08:31,032 --> 00:08:32,860
linking heaven and Earth.
155
00:08:34,426 --> 00:08:36,472
NARRATOR:
Scientific testing
of the materials
156
00:08:36,516 --> 00:08:38,082
made to build these enclosures
157
00:08:38,126 --> 00:08:41,521
dates them to roughly 6500 BC.
158
00:08:42,826 --> 00:08:45,133
Could it be that
they are somehow related
159
00:08:45,176 --> 00:08:46,787
to the keyhole-shaped kofuns
160
00:08:46,830 --> 00:08:50,442
that were built in Japan
thousands of years later?
161
00:08:50,486 --> 00:08:55,143
Curiously, a keyhole design
can be found at ancient sites
162
00:08:55,186 --> 00:08:57,145
belonging to numerous
different cultures,
163
00:08:57,188 --> 00:08:59,713
and all over the world.
164
00:08:59,756 --> 00:09:03,630
This shape is present
in the Incan ruins of Moray
165
00:09:03,673 --> 00:09:05,327
in Peru,
166
00:09:05,370 --> 00:09:10,114
the Temple of the Foliated Cross
in Palenque, Mexico,
167
00:09:10,158 --> 00:09:14,075
the Hopi kivas
in the American Southwest,
168
00:09:14,118 --> 00:09:17,252
and the 10,000-year-old
burial mounds
169
00:09:17,295 --> 00:09:20,342
in Tassili n'Ajjer, Algeria.
170
00:09:20,385 --> 00:09:24,433
Why is it that there
are so many cultures
171
00:09:24,476 --> 00:09:27,262
that use the keyhole shape
around the world?
172
00:09:29,264 --> 00:09:31,788
Is there some commonality
to all of this?
173
00:09:31,832 --> 00:09:35,052
Even though they are
thousands of miles apart?
174
00:09:35,096 --> 00:09:40,014
I would say that we have to look
towards human consciousness.
175
00:09:40,057 --> 00:09:42,886
And the commonality of symbols.
176
00:09:42,930 --> 00:09:46,716
Since ancient timesthere have been keys and locks.
177
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:51,025
The keyhole is what can unlock
a portal to another place,
178
00:09:51,068 --> 00:09:52,548
an unseen place,
179
00:09:52,592 --> 00:09:57,248
so it has a ritual
and symbolic significance.
180
00:09:57,292 --> 00:10:01,078
We are aware that there are
things we do not know,
181
00:10:01,122 --> 00:10:03,820
that there are energies
that affect human life
182
00:10:03,864 --> 00:10:07,084
and all other life
that we are still learning,
183
00:10:07,128 --> 00:10:10,087
just barely beginning to grasp.
184
00:10:10,131 --> 00:10:13,569
So the keyhole image
symbolically represents
185
00:10:13,613 --> 00:10:16,616
the possibility that
such gateways can be opened.
186
00:10:18,661 --> 00:10:19,923
NARRATOR:
Could the keyhole symbol
187
00:10:19,967 --> 00:10:22,926
carry a profound message
for humanity?
188
00:10:22,970 --> 00:10:26,234
Was this shape repeated
at ancient sites
189
00:10:26,277 --> 00:10:29,237
across the globe
so that future generations
190
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,588
would notice it
and attempt to understand it?
191
00:10:32,632 --> 00:10:35,547
Perhaps further clues
can be found
192
00:10:35,591 --> 00:10:37,201
by examining the connection
193
00:10:37,245 --> 00:10:41,510
between the keyhole shape
and the ancient gods.
194
00:10:47,124 --> 00:10:49,561
YOUNG: Khonsu has a pendant
with a keyhole on it.
195
00:10:49,649 --> 00:10:52,608
January 2018.
196
00:10:54,001 --> 00:10:56,090
Archaeologists digging
in this city,
197
00:10:56,177 --> 00:10:58,962
located in the heart
of the Nile River Delta,
198
00:10:59,006 --> 00:11:02,792
uncover the remains
of an ancient settlement.
199
00:11:02,836 --> 00:11:05,099
Among the fragments of statues,
200
00:11:05,142 --> 00:11:08,842
they discover pieces
of an amulet known as a menat.
201
00:11:10,104 --> 00:11:12,628
RITA LUCARELLI:
The menat is a...
202
00:11:12,672 --> 00:11:15,239
a very important, uh, amulet,
203
00:11:15,326 --> 00:11:18,199
um, for ancient Egypt.
204
00:11:19,374 --> 00:11:21,463
So, the menat was, uh, made
205
00:11:21,506 --> 00:11:24,466
by a series of lines of beads
206
00:11:24,509 --> 00:11:27,164
with the counterbalance,
207
00:11:27,208 --> 00:11:29,601
uh, in form of a keyhole.
208
00:11:29,689 --> 00:11:32,300
And this way
could use as a necklace,
209
00:11:32,343 --> 00:11:34,302
with the beads in front
210
00:11:34,345 --> 00:11:36,783
and a counterbalance
in the back.
211
00:11:36,826 --> 00:11:39,263
NARRATOR:
In Egyptian mythology,
212
00:11:39,307 --> 00:11:43,006
the menat is often worn
by the god Khonsu.
213
00:11:43,050 --> 00:11:46,618
LUCARELLI:
Khonsu is, uh,
mainly god of the Moon.
214
00:11:46,662 --> 00:11:48,142
But he's also a healing god.
215
00:11:48,185 --> 00:11:51,667
He's considered a protector
who can, uh,
216
00:11:51,754 --> 00:11:55,889
ward off evil spirits
or evil forces.
217
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,197
Khonsu was seen
as a wandering god.
218
00:12:00,284 --> 00:12:04,158
This reflects how the Moon
wanders through the heavens.
219
00:12:04,201 --> 00:12:07,552
He has a pendant
with a keyhole on it.
220
00:12:07,639 --> 00:12:09,990
This represents
the gatekeeping function
221
00:12:10,033 --> 00:12:11,992
of this particular divinity,
222
00:12:12,035 --> 00:12:15,082
the ability
to open unseen worlds.
223
00:12:15,125 --> 00:12:18,520
He taught many of the differentsciences to the people.
224
00:12:18,607 --> 00:12:21,175
He was also related
to technology.
225
00:12:21,218 --> 00:12:24,656
So this is the suggestion
that he may have been involved
226
00:12:24,700 --> 00:12:26,876
in some of the construction
of the sites there
227
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,138
in ancient Egypt.
228
00:12:29,226 --> 00:12:31,533
NARRATOR:
Paintings often depict the gods
229
00:12:31,576 --> 00:12:35,406
giving the menat
to members of Egyptian nobility.
230
00:12:35,493 --> 00:12:38,888
While mainstream historians
contend the amulet
231
00:12:38,975 --> 00:12:42,587
was simply a piece of jewelry,
ancient astronaut theorists
232
00:12:42,631 --> 00:12:46,113
suspect it was
something more profound.
233
00:12:47,592 --> 00:12:50,030
If you look at someof the earliest representations
234
00:12:50,073 --> 00:12:51,683
of the menat,
235
00:12:51,727 --> 00:12:55,862
rays are jumping out
into four different heads
236
00:12:55,905 --> 00:12:57,820
that are on sticks.
237
00:12:57,864 --> 00:12:59,909
What is going on?
238
00:12:59,953 --> 00:13:02,477
To me, that is a representation
239
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,045
of something technological
240
00:13:05,132 --> 00:13:07,656
that our ancestors witnessed.
241
00:13:07,699 --> 00:13:10,659
But they
couldn't quite figure out yet
242
00:13:10,702 --> 00:13:12,966
what they were looking at.
243
00:13:13,009 --> 00:13:17,405
NARRATOR:
Curiously, Khonsu isn't
the only lunar deity--
244
00:13:17,448 --> 00:13:21,670
or Moon god--
symbolized by a keyhole shape.
245
00:13:21,713 --> 00:13:25,108
We also have Tanit, the
Canaanite or Phoenician goddess
246
00:13:25,195 --> 00:13:29,069
who, again, her symbol
was that of the keyhole shape,
247
00:13:29,112 --> 00:13:32,681
and she was connected
with travel.
248
00:13:32,724 --> 00:13:35,205
She was also connected
with machinery.
249
00:13:35,249 --> 00:13:37,599
So, again,
there could be connections here
250
00:13:37,642 --> 00:13:41,168
between these ancient cultures
and this symbol.
251
00:13:42,909 --> 00:13:45,041
NARRATOR: Do depictions
of Khonsu and Tanit
252
00:13:45,085 --> 00:13:47,478
point to the keyhole shape,
253
00:13:47,522 --> 00:13:50,960
representing some type
of technological device?
254
00:13:51,004 --> 00:13:53,658
And could it be more
than mere coincidence
255
00:13:53,745 --> 00:13:57,314
that both have a connection
to the Moon?
256
00:13:57,358 --> 00:14:00,535
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe further clues
257
00:14:00,578 --> 00:14:04,234
can be found onthe Italian island of Sardinia.
258
00:14:04,278 --> 00:14:08,586
Today, this picturesque island
in the Mediterranean
259
00:14:08,630 --> 00:14:11,067
is famous
for its crystalline waters,
260
00:14:11,111 --> 00:14:14,288
white sandy beaches,
and luxurious resorts.
261
00:14:14,331 --> 00:14:16,638
But thousands of years ago,
262
00:14:16,681 --> 00:14:20,511
Sardinia was home to one of the
most mysterious civilizations
263
00:14:20,555 --> 00:14:24,124
in the ancient world--
the nuraghe.
264
00:14:24,167 --> 00:14:28,563
The nuraghic culture of Sardinia
265
00:14:28,606 --> 00:14:31,348
were a Bronze Age people
266
00:14:31,392 --> 00:14:33,481
who occupied the island
267
00:14:33,568 --> 00:14:37,311
from around 1800 BC
268
00:14:37,354 --> 00:14:39,487
down to about 200 BC,
269
00:14:39,530 --> 00:14:43,621
when the Romans arrived
and took over the island.
270
00:14:43,665 --> 00:14:45,972
NEWMAN:
There are question marks
about the dating
271
00:14:46,015 --> 00:14:48,539
of the nuraghic civilization
in Sardinia.
272
00:14:48,583 --> 00:14:52,021
There's so many sites there
that go back way before that.
273
00:14:52,065 --> 00:14:56,547
There's dolmens that go back
to 3500 or 4000 BC.
274
00:14:56,591 --> 00:14:58,419
There's, uh, the giants' tombs,
275
00:14:58,462 --> 00:15:02,336
which are slightly older
than the nuraghic civilization.
276
00:15:02,379 --> 00:15:04,338
And there's even a pyramid
there, Monte d'Accoddi,
277
00:15:04,381 --> 00:15:08,733
which dates back
to around 3500 to 4000 BC.
278
00:15:08,820 --> 00:15:13,042
The nuraghic culture emerged,
really, from nowhere.
279
00:15:13,086 --> 00:15:15,871
So they were masters
of megalithic construction,
280
00:15:15,915 --> 00:15:18,613
and they built
these amazing nuraghic towers
281
00:15:18,656 --> 00:15:20,571
all over the country.
282
00:15:20,615 --> 00:15:23,923
There are recorded
over 7,000 of them.
283
00:15:24,967 --> 00:15:26,751
COLLINS:
Sardinia...
284
00:15:26,838 --> 00:15:32,105
is arguably one of the most
interesting sites in Europe,
285
00:15:32,192 --> 00:15:36,631
not simply because of the-the
large stone structures there,
286
00:15:36,674 --> 00:15:38,720
but it's the fact
287
00:15:38,763 --> 00:15:41,549
that so many of them are aligned
288
00:15:41,636 --> 00:15:45,379
to the Sun and the Moon
and also the stars,
289
00:15:45,422 --> 00:15:48,556
that we have to ask ourselves:
290
00:15:48,599 --> 00:15:50,732
did they have a belief
291
00:15:50,775 --> 00:15:54,823
that their ancestors came
from the stars?
292
00:15:54,866 --> 00:15:56,868
NARRATOR:
The nuraghic people
293
00:15:56,912 --> 00:15:59,393
left no written
historical record,
294
00:15:59,436 --> 00:16:01,917
causing many scholars
to question
295
00:16:02,004 --> 00:16:04,964
how they could have achieved
such incredible building prowess
296
00:16:05,051 --> 00:16:08,228
without having developed
a writing system.
297
00:16:08,271 --> 00:16:11,274
In May 2018,
298
00:16:11,361 --> 00:16:13,407
Oak Island treasure hunter
Marty Lagina
299
00:16:13,450 --> 00:16:17,367
invited Giorgio Tsoukalos
to join him in Sardinia
300
00:16:17,411 --> 00:16:20,022
to investigate the mystery
of the nuraghe
301
00:16:20,066 --> 00:16:22,720
and offer
his unique perspective.
302
00:16:22,764 --> 00:16:25,201
[speaking foreign language]
303
00:16:25,245 --> 00:16:29,727
There, Giorgio and Marty were
met by local guide Ivana Malu
304
00:16:29,771 --> 00:16:32,643
and archaeoastronomer
Mauro Peppino Zedda,
305
00:16:32,687 --> 00:16:35,081
who showed them
an archaeological site
306
00:16:35,124 --> 00:16:37,735
far stranger than they expected:
307
00:16:37,779 --> 00:16:41,826
the well of Santa Cristina.
308
00:16:41,870 --> 00:16:44,612
-Now, wait a minute,
wait a minute, aspetta.
-MALU: Yes, yeah, prego.
309
00:16:44,655 --> 00:16:46,614
-These are modern, right?
This is reproduction.
-[laughing]: Yeah.
310
00:16:46,657 --> 00:16:48,659
-No, no, I mean it.
-No, I know, I know, I know.
311
00:16:48,746 --> 00:16:50,400
-MARTY: This is reproduction.
-It's what people say...
312
00:16:50,444 --> 00:16:52,794
when they are here they say,
"Oh, Ivana, that's a fake.
313
00:16:52,837 --> 00:16:55,840
What is that?" Can you imagine
the well is 3,000 years old?
314
00:16:55,884 --> 00:16:57,277
MARTY:
No. Honestly, these are
315
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,583
-the original stones?
-Really. Believe me.
316
00:16:59,627 --> 00:17:01,020
-MARTY: Wow.
-Hundred percent.
317
00:17:01,107 --> 00:17:02,978
That is built to last
for the eternity.
318
00:17:03,065 --> 00:17:05,024
Well, this is spectacular.
319
00:17:05,111 --> 00:17:07,200
-I mean, look at...
-Do you want to touch
with your hand
320
00:17:07,243 --> 00:17:09,463
-the sophistication of the wall?
-Yes.
321
00:17:09,506 --> 00:17:12,205
MALU:
Here we go. Andiamo.
322
00:17:12,292 --> 00:17:14,816
-TSOUKALOS: This is crazy.
-MARTY: Unbelievable.
323
00:17:14,859 --> 00:17:16,644
TSOUKALOS:
Look at this. It is round.
324
00:17:16,687 --> 00:17:18,646
It's a perfect circle.
325
00:17:18,689 --> 00:17:20,691
You can't put
a-a piece of paper...
326
00:17:20,735 --> 00:17:24,608
there's no mortar used
to put this stuff together.
327
00:17:24,652 --> 00:17:25,827
-I mean...
-MALU: It's amazing.
328
00:17:25,914 --> 00:17:27,655
Incredible questo.
329
00:17:29,222 --> 00:17:31,354
MARTY: Not only is it
constructed beautifully,
330
00:17:31,441 --> 00:17:34,705
the foundation is
below the water table.
331
00:17:34,749 --> 00:17:36,359
Okay? That's very hard to do.
332
00:17:36,446 --> 00:17:39,014
I could tell you
from Oak Island,
333
00:17:39,058 --> 00:17:40,929
-working in the water
is difficult.
-Right? Yes.
334
00:17:42,278 --> 00:17:44,672
MARTY:
This is spectacular.
335
00:17:44,715 --> 00:17:47,979
NARRATOR:
But the incredibly precise
construction
336
00:17:48,067 --> 00:17:50,069
of the well of Santa Cristina
337
00:17:50,112 --> 00:17:53,202
is not its only
extraordinary feature.
338
00:17:53,246 --> 00:17:56,292
When archaeoastronomer
Mauro Peppino Zedda
339
00:17:56,336 --> 00:17:59,817
began researching the
ancient structures of Sardinia
340
00:17:59,861 --> 00:18:02,516
in search
of astronomical alignments,
341
00:18:02,603 --> 00:18:04,387
he found that
the well of Sardinia
342
00:18:04,474 --> 00:18:09,175
was constructed to track
a very specific celestial event.
343
00:18:09,218 --> 00:18:11,090
[speaking foreign language]
344
00:18:14,093 --> 00:18:18,009
And this cupola is really built
to observe the Moon
345
00:18:18,053 --> 00:18:20,055
in its highest light.
346
00:18:20,142 --> 00:18:21,709
[Zedda speaking
foreign language]
347
00:18:21,796 --> 00:18:23,363
MALU [translating]:
It's maximum.
348
00:18:23,406 --> 00:18:26,017
-[speaking foreign language]
-See, I get it.
349
00:18:26,061 --> 00:18:28,585
Is every 18.6 years,
350
00:18:28,629 --> 00:18:31,197
the full Moon reflects its light
351
00:18:31,284 --> 00:18:33,199
in the deep water over there.
352
00:18:33,242 --> 00:18:38,378
NARRATOR:
The event tracked by the well
is known as a lunar standstill,
353
00:18:38,421 --> 00:18:40,858
the time when the Moon reaches
its highest point
354
00:18:40,902 --> 00:18:44,210
in the night sky and appears
to stay there for hours
355
00:18:44,253 --> 00:18:48,170
before finally sinking back
toward the horizon.
356
00:18:48,214 --> 00:18:50,912
But how was
an ancient civilization--
357
00:18:50,955 --> 00:18:53,044
one supposedly
without mathematics
358
00:18:53,088 --> 00:18:54,655
or a written language--
359
00:18:54,698 --> 00:18:58,267
able to build a structure that
precisely tracks a lunar event
360
00:18:58,311 --> 00:19:00,878
that would have only occurred
two or three times
361
00:19:00,922 --> 00:19:03,403
in a normal lifetime?
362
00:19:03,446 --> 00:19:06,884
The question is, there was no
written language.
363
00:19:06,928 --> 00:19:08,451
How was this planned?
364
00:19:08,538 --> 00:19:13,021
Because if you look at this
from above,
365
00:19:13,064 --> 00:19:14,762
it's this keyhole shape,
366
00:19:14,849 --> 00:19:16,764
and that, to me, is fascinating.
367
00:19:16,807 --> 00:19:19,245
I have not seen anything
quite like this, okay?
368
00:19:19,332 --> 00:19:22,161
I'm-I'm literally wowed by this.
369
00:19:22,204 --> 00:19:24,946
Clearly, someone told
the local people
370
00:19:24,989 --> 00:19:29,777
how to place these stones
into different areas,
371
00:19:29,864 --> 00:19:33,302
because it was a connection
to the celestial realm.
372
00:19:33,346 --> 00:19:35,913
So you're surmising
the technology was
373
00:19:35,957 --> 00:19:37,306
given to these people?
374
00:19:37,393 --> 00:19:39,787
-The engineering knowledge.
-Yeah. Yeah.
375
00:19:39,830 --> 00:19:42,442
Because this screams
mathematics.
376
00:19:42,529 --> 00:19:43,530
Yes, it does.
377
00:19:44,792 --> 00:19:47,490
TSOUKALOS: It is unlike anythingthat I've ever seen,
378
00:19:47,534 --> 00:19:51,102
even though the stone steps
have reminded me
379
00:19:51,146 --> 00:19:55,368
of inside the grand gallery
of the Great Pyramid.
380
00:19:55,411 --> 00:19:58,501
You can't put a dollar bill
in between the fittings.
381
00:19:58,545 --> 00:20:03,071
No mortar was used;
it's absolute perfection.
382
00:20:03,114 --> 00:20:08,119
And the hole with the oculus has
a deviation of about 11 degrees.
383
00:20:08,163 --> 00:20:11,340
So, that right there is
something that's fascinating
384
00:20:11,384 --> 00:20:15,170
because only with that
11-degree deviation
385
00:20:15,214 --> 00:20:18,826
do you actually recognize
this lunar standstill.
386
00:20:18,869 --> 00:20:23,309
So, my suggestion is that
this engineering knowledge
387
00:20:23,352 --> 00:20:26,355
was given to the local culture
at the time
388
00:20:26,442 --> 00:20:29,228
by the extraterrestrials.
389
00:20:29,271 --> 00:20:31,882
I'm not offering
this opinion lightly.
390
00:20:31,969 --> 00:20:35,973
The legends and the statuary and
the figurines and the objects
391
00:20:36,017 --> 00:20:39,803
that have been found here
all speak of someone
392
00:20:39,847 --> 00:20:41,240
descending from the sky.
393
00:20:42,719 --> 00:20:45,679
NARRATOR:
Ancient Moon gods
in Egypt and Carthage
394
00:20:45,766 --> 00:20:48,159
symbolized by a keyhole.
395
00:20:48,203 --> 00:20:50,597
An ancient well in Sardinia,
396
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,687
aligned to record
a rare lunar event
397
00:20:53,730 --> 00:20:56,255
and also shaped like a keyhole.
398
00:20:56,342 --> 00:21:00,041
Could these incredible parallels
provide evidence
399
00:21:00,084 --> 00:21:03,262
of extraterrestrial intervention
on Earth?
400
00:21:04,393 --> 00:21:07,527
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
401
00:21:07,570 --> 00:21:10,704
and suggest further evidence
can be found by examining
402
00:21:10,747 --> 00:21:15,448
another mysterious structure
in a remote village in India.
403
00:21:21,105 --> 00:21:23,282
PRAVEEN MOHAN:
The well of Badlapur
404
00:21:23,369 --> 00:21:26,241
June 2018.
405
00:21:27,895 --> 00:21:30,289
Thousands flock to
the Pasadena Convention Center
406
00:21:30,376 --> 00:21:33,030
to attend AlienCon,
407
00:21:33,074 --> 00:21:36,120
a three-day event
that brings together
408
00:21:36,207 --> 00:21:37,948
ancient astronaut theorists
409
00:21:37,992 --> 00:21:41,604
and UFO researchers
from across the world.
410
00:21:41,648 --> 00:21:44,259
Featured contributor
Giorgio Tsoukalos
411
00:21:44,303 --> 00:21:47,436
has just returned
from his trip to Sardinia.
412
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,612
And while relating
what he experienced there
413
00:21:49,656 --> 00:21:51,353
to convention attendees,
414
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,096
he is shown a photo
that is shockingly familiar.
415
00:21:55,139 --> 00:21:57,620
The well of Santa Cristina is
416
00:21:57,664 --> 00:22:00,275
one of the most amazing
architectural sites
417
00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:02,277
I've ever seen.
418
00:22:02,321 --> 00:22:05,759
On that photo
I was given at AlienCon
419
00:22:05,802 --> 00:22:08,501
was an almost-identical well
420
00:22:08,588 --> 00:22:12,766
4,000 miles away in India.
421
00:22:12,809 --> 00:22:16,160
And I was like,
"This is incredible."
422
00:22:16,204 --> 00:22:18,815
When you look at these
two structures from the sky,
423
00:22:18,859 --> 00:22:21,470
immediately you see
that they both
424
00:22:21,514 --> 00:22:23,516
are in the shape of a keyhole.
425
00:22:23,559 --> 00:22:26,997
So you have to wonder,
"Is there a connection?"
426
00:22:27,041 --> 00:22:29,043
And that is the big question.
427
00:22:29,130 --> 00:22:32,002
NARRATOR:
A similar keyhole-shaped well
428
00:22:32,089 --> 00:22:34,657
4,000 miles away?
429
00:22:34,744 --> 00:22:37,660
Is it possible
that the well in India--
430
00:22:37,704 --> 00:22:41,490
located in the town
of Badlapur, near Mumbai--
431
00:22:41,534 --> 00:22:45,146
is somehow connected
to the well in Sardinia?
432
00:22:46,974 --> 00:22:48,976
Mainstream archaeologists
believe
433
00:22:49,019 --> 00:22:54,982
that the well at Badlapur
was created around 1715...
434
00:22:55,025 --> 00:22:58,333
during the time of Shivaji.
435
00:22:58,377 --> 00:23:00,857
But there are
no inscriptions in the well
436
00:23:00,901 --> 00:23:04,426
which state how old it is.
437
00:23:04,513 --> 00:23:08,648
The fact is, locals believe
that this well was created
438
00:23:08,691 --> 00:23:11,694
much, much earlier in time,
439
00:23:11,738 --> 00:23:15,394
possibly dating back
to thousands of years.
440
00:23:15,437 --> 00:23:20,834
Archaeological records in India
are not precisely kept,
441
00:23:20,877 --> 00:23:25,099
so it is entirely possible
that this well was built
442
00:23:25,186 --> 00:23:28,885
at the same as the step well
in Sardinia.
443
00:23:28,929 --> 00:23:31,410
NARRATOR:
Curiously, both wells have
444
00:23:31,497 --> 00:23:34,587
a similar connection
to the Moon.
445
00:23:34,674 --> 00:23:39,418
In Sardinia,
it's the Moon shining down
446
00:23:39,461 --> 00:23:43,204
on that pool of water
once every 18 years.
447
00:23:43,247 --> 00:23:46,512
And in India, we have 18 steps
448
00:23:46,555 --> 00:23:49,384
leading down
to the water's edge.
449
00:23:49,428 --> 00:23:54,041
Both of them reflective
of the 18-year lunar cycle.
450
00:23:54,084 --> 00:23:57,131
NARRATOR:
Another commonality
between the two ancient
451
00:23:57,218 --> 00:24:00,395
keyhole-shaped structures
is that both were constructed
452
00:24:00,439 --> 00:24:03,920
using sophisticated
building techniques.
453
00:24:03,964 --> 00:24:07,054
The Badlapur well was
originally constructed
454
00:24:07,097 --> 00:24:09,926
without the use of any mortar,
which has only
455
00:24:09,970 --> 00:24:14,322
been added in recent years
to ensure its preservation.
456
00:24:15,715 --> 00:24:18,195
The well of Badlapur
457
00:24:18,239 --> 00:24:21,068
was created without the use
458
00:24:21,111 --> 00:24:23,113
of any mortar.
459
00:24:23,157 --> 00:24:28,249
This type of construction is
based on the ancient technology
460
00:24:28,292 --> 00:24:32,775
of Ayurveda where you are able
to create a structure
461
00:24:32,819 --> 00:24:37,432
that can survive
for many thousands of years.
462
00:24:39,173 --> 00:24:40,957
NARRATOR:
Archaeologists suggest
463
00:24:41,001 --> 00:24:42,785
that this construction style,
464
00:24:42,829 --> 00:24:44,918
known as Ayurvedic architecture,
465
00:24:44,961 --> 00:24:47,616
is derived from
the ancient science of design
466
00:24:47,660 --> 00:24:51,402
described in India's
oldest Sanskrit texts.
467
00:24:51,446 --> 00:24:54,275
To the millions
of Hindu faithful,
468
00:24:54,318 --> 00:24:56,799
these texts-- known as Vedas--
469
00:24:56,843 --> 00:25:00,281
are accounts given directly
by the gods themselves,
470
00:25:00,324 --> 00:25:03,502
and only transcribed by humans.
471
00:25:05,199 --> 00:25:07,114
CHILDRESS:
We still have
472
00:25:07,157 --> 00:25:09,551
these ancient texts
from ancient India.
473
00:25:09,595 --> 00:25:13,337
It's really the only
civilization left
474
00:25:13,381 --> 00:25:18,299
that has this continuous threadto the very, very ancient past.
475
00:25:18,342 --> 00:25:22,869
And these books can still be
read by Sanskrit scholars today.
476
00:25:22,912 --> 00:25:27,047
And what these books talk about
is extraterrestrial gods
477
00:25:27,134 --> 00:25:29,658
coming to ancient India.
478
00:25:29,702 --> 00:25:33,662
TSOUKALOS:
Now, the ancient astronaut
theory proposes that
479
00:25:33,706 --> 00:25:37,753
the reason why these similar
structures exist is because
480
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:42,715
perhaps both cultures were
visited by the same teachers.
481
00:25:42,758 --> 00:25:48,198
So, who knows if the nuraghic
culture of ancient Sardinia
482
00:25:48,242 --> 00:25:50,636
was visited
by the same extraterrestrials
483
00:25:50,679 --> 00:25:53,682
that were visiting
ancient India,
484
00:25:53,726 --> 00:25:58,731
because in both cases
there are local stories
485
00:25:58,818 --> 00:26:02,517
of beings
descending from the sky.
486
00:26:02,561 --> 00:26:04,475
Some thousands of years,
we were visited
487
00:26:04,519 --> 00:26:07,043
by beings from outer space.
488
00:26:07,087 --> 00:26:10,525
These beings, they wanted
that we develop technology.
489
00:26:10,569 --> 00:26:14,007
They wanted that sooner
or later we find out
490
00:26:14,050 --> 00:26:16,444
that we are
the offsprings of them.
491
00:26:16,531 --> 00:26:19,229
So they left clues
on this planet Earth.
492
00:26:19,316 --> 00:26:23,364
NARRATOR: Is it possible
that these two ancient wells,
493
00:26:23,407 --> 00:26:25,932
separated by thousands of miles
494
00:26:26,019 --> 00:26:29,065
and with eerily similar
construction styles,
495
00:26:29,109 --> 00:26:33,417
were built with the help
of extraterrestrial beings?
496
00:26:33,461 --> 00:26:37,683
And if so, does the keyhole
shape represent some type
497
00:26:37,726 --> 00:26:41,556
of technology
wielded by these visitors?
498
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,253
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest
499
00:26:43,297 --> 00:26:45,560
further clues can be found
500
00:26:45,604 --> 00:26:49,259
by examining the significance
of this shape throughout India
501
00:26:49,303 --> 00:26:52,262
in the form of the stupa.
502
00:26:52,306 --> 00:26:56,876
MOHAN:
In Ajanta caves, there are
many carvings of Buddha
503
00:26:56,919 --> 00:26:58,965
inside stupas.
504
00:26:59,008 --> 00:27:02,925
From the front, it appears
as though Buddha is standing
505
00:27:02,969 --> 00:27:06,537
inside
an elaborately carved arch.
506
00:27:06,581 --> 00:27:09,584
But the fact is,
what we are seeing
507
00:27:09,628 --> 00:27:13,675
from the front is
a cross section of
508
00:27:13,762 --> 00:27:18,071
a stupa, inside of which
Buddha is standing.
509
00:27:18,114 --> 00:27:20,290
And what is a stupa?
510
00:27:20,334 --> 00:27:24,991
It is nothing
but some kind of a vehicle.
511
00:27:25,078 --> 00:27:28,168
It is also shaped
512
00:27:28,255 --> 00:27:31,606
in the form of a keyhole.
513
00:27:31,650 --> 00:27:34,914
TSOUKALOS:
Buddha sitting inside a stupa,
in my opinion,
514
00:27:34,957 --> 00:27:38,482
is this creature
inside a pod lifting off.
515
00:27:38,526 --> 00:27:42,661
If we had one or ten
or even 20 examples like that,
516
00:27:42,704 --> 00:27:45,185
you could be like,
"All right, interesting."
517
00:27:45,272 --> 00:27:50,103
But what if I told you there
are millions of the same motif
518
00:27:50,146 --> 00:27:54,455
in India about
celestial beings depicted
519
00:27:54,498 --> 00:27:57,806
living in clouds up in the sky?
520
00:27:57,850 --> 00:28:00,983
Whatever the shape was
521
00:28:01,027 --> 00:28:03,986
that inspired the keyhole shape
522
00:28:04,073 --> 00:28:07,468
was what was so important,
and in my opinion,
523
00:28:07,511 --> 00:28:11,211
that was a flying craft.
524
00:28:11,298 --> 00:28:13,996
NARRATOR:
Is it possible
that the keyhole symbol
525
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,869
found throughout the world
was inspired
526
00:28:16,912 --> 00:28:20,002
by the shape of
an extraterrestrial spacecraft
527
00:28:20,046 --> 00:28:23,702
that our ancestors witnessed
descending from the sky?
528
00:28:23,789 --> 00:28:28,010
Some ancient astronaut theorists
suggest there may be another,
529
00:28:28,054 --> 00:28:31,492
even more profound explanation,
530
00:28:31,535 --> 00:28:33,712
and point to
an early Hebrew text
531
00:28:33,799 --> 00:28:35,801
that describes a magic ring
532
00:28:35,844 --> 00:28:39,239
used to control demons.
533
00:28:45,419 --> 00:28:48,857
HENRY: The archangel Michael isgoing to give Solomon a power
534
00:28:48,901 --> 00:28:53,122
King Solomon
of the United Kingdom of Israel
535
00:28:53,166 --> 00:28:55,211
begins construction
on a great temple
536
00:28:55,298 --> 00:28:57,518
to house
the Ark of the Covenant.
537
00:28:57,561 --> 00:28:59,955
According to the Hebrew Bible,
538
00:29:00,042 --> 00:29:03,567
this sacred chest was built
to carry the stone tablets
539
00:29:03,611 --> 00:29:06,570
on which the Ten Commandments
were written
540
00:29:06,614 --> 00:29:11,445
and also facilitated
direct communication with God.
541
00:29:13,795 --> 00:29:16,058
There's an ancient legend,
recorded in,
542
00:29:16,102 --> 00:29:18,104
of all places, the Talmud,
543
00:29:18,147 --> 00:29:22,935
wherein which it is said
that there were specific needs
544
00:29:23,022 --> 00:29:25,894
for building Solomon's Temple
545
00:29:25,938 --> 00:29:28,810
that no human being
could provide.
546
00:29:28,897 --> 00:29:31,944
HENRY:
In the story,
Solomon prays to God,
547
00:29:31,987 --> 00:29:35,034
and instantly
the archangel Michael manifests,
548
00:29:35,077 --> 00:29:36,557
as if out of thin air.
549
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,387
And Michael says that
he's going to give Solomon
550
00:29:40,430 --> 00:29:43,607
a power that has never
before been seen on Earth
551
00:29:43,694 --> 00:29:45,914
and never again shall be.
552
00:29:45,958 --> 00:29:51,137
And he produces for him a goldenring with a signet seal.
553
00:29:51,180 --> 00:29:56,142
LITTLE:
This is known as
the Secret Seal of Solomon.
554
00:29:56,229 --> 00:30:00,102
And it is a magical sign...
555
00:30:00,146 --> 00:30:05,978
which has that interesting shape
like a keyhole.
556
00:30:06,021 --> 00:30:11,984
COLLINS:
This ring was used to command
a legion of 72 jinn.
557
00:30:12,027 --> 00:30:16,466
These are fire spirits, uh,
in Arabian tradition.
558
00:30:16,553 --> 00:30:19,600
And once they were
under his control,
559
00:30:19,643 --> 00:30:22,603
he used them to build monuments,
560
00:30:22,646 --> 00:30:25,911
including Solomon's Temple
itself.
561
00:30:25,954 --> 00:30:29,131
NARRATOR:
According to the Talmud,
562
00:30:29,175 --> 00:30:32,613
these otherworldly beings
that Solomon was able to rule
563
00:30:32,656 --> 00:30:34,702
with his divine
keyhole-shaped seal
564
00:30:34,789 --> 00:30:37,923
were led by a jinn
named Ashmedai.
565
00:30:37,966 --> 00:30:40,795
In constructing
Solomon's Temple,
566
00:30:40,839 --> 00:30:44,625
Ashmedai not only oversaw
the building of the tabernacle
567
00:30:44,668 --> 00:30:46,453
to hold the Ark of the Covenant,
568
00:30:46,496 --> 00:30:50,326
but also a number of underground
hidden chambers.
569
00:30:50,370 --> 00:30:53,677
TZADOK:
Ashmedai brought with him
an army
570
00:30:53,721 --> 00:30:57,812
of his followers who built
those places of the temple,
571
00:30:57,856 --> 00:31:02,512
which no human being was allowed
to even know existed.
572
00:31:02,556 --> 00:31:06,690
So these legends come down
to us to this day
573
00:31:06,734 --> 00:31:09,998
that this temple of Solomon, the
parts that were subterranean,
574
00:31:10,042 --> 00:31:11,870
were not built by human hands
575
00:31:11,913 --> 00:31:16,004
and, therefore, secret
to this day to the human eye.
576
00:31:16,048 --> 00:31:20,704
CHILDRESS:
They built all kinds
of tunnels and chambers.
577
00:31:20,791 --> 00:31:24,491
And you have to wonderif it might have something to do
578
00:31:24,534 --> 00:31:27,233
with this high technology
that they put
579
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,889
into some very safe place
for keeping.
580
00:31:33,456 --> 00:31:36,329
NARRATOR:
Could it be that the technology
Solomon was given
581
00:31:36,372 --> 00:31:40,202
to build his temple was hidden
somewhere beneath it?
582
00:31:40,289 --> 00:31:43,510
Solomon's Temple was destroyed
by the Babylonian king
583
00:31:43,553 --> 00:31:47,731
Nebuchadnezzar II in 587 BC.
584
00:31:47,775 --> 00:31:52,171
But nearly 1,700 years later,
the site where it stood,
585
00:31:52,214 --> 00:31:55,522
known today as Temple Mount,
was excavated
586
00:31:55,565 --> 00:31:57,437
by a group
of warrior monks called
587
00:31:57,524 --> 00:31:59,787
the Order of Solomon's Temple,
588
00:31:59,874 --> 00:32:02,921
also known as
the Knights Templar.
589
00:32:03,008 --> 00:32:06,881
And many believe that
they did not leave empty-handed.
590
00:32:06,925 --> 00:32:07,926
[horse neighs]
591
00:32:09,362 --> 00:32:12,669
The Knights Templars got
a commission from the Pope
592
00:32:12,713 --> 00:32:15,934
to actually do excavations
at Solomon's Temple.
593
00:32:16,021 --> 00:32:20,547
And the story there goes that
the Templars actually discovered
594
00:32:20,590 --> 00:32:24,464
a secret chamber
beneath the temple.
595
00:32:24,507 --> 00:32:28,424
NARRATOR:
While it remains unknown
just what the Knights Templar
596
00:32:28,468 --> 00:32:30,905
may have uncovered,
researchers know that
597
00:32:30,949 --> 00:32:34,256
they would go on to display
incredible building prowess,
598
00:32:34,300 --> 00:32:37,085
much like that of the jinn
that legend credits
599
00:32:37,129 --> 00:32:40,262
with building Solomon's Temple.
600
00:32:40,306 --> 00:32:42,743
The Knights Templars had
very advanced knowledge
601
00:32:42,786 --> 00:32:46,094
of geometry, mathematics,
architecture,
602
00:32:46,138 --> 00:32:48,096
and of working with stone.
603
00:32:48,140 --> 00:32:51,578
Some of the early constructions
include the gothic cathedrals
604
00:32:51,621 --> 00:32:55,147
of Europe, and they show
remarkable technology.
605
00:32:55,190 --> 00:32:58,150
The way they worked with stone,
the hidden geometry,
606
00:32:58,193 --> 00:33:01,762
the mathematics, and the sort of
spiritual dimensions
607
00:33:01,805 --> 00:33:05,287
that these elements create
are quite remarkable.
608
00:33:06,767 --> 00:33:08,943
NARRATOR:
Curiously, nearly
every Templar church
609
00:33:08,987 --> 00:33:10,989
was built in the shape
of a keyhole
610
00:33:11,076 --> 00:33:12,773
when viewed from above.
611
00:33:12,816 --> 00:33:16,951
But perhaps most notable of all
is that at a former
612
00:33:16,995 --> 00:33:20,433
Templar stronghold in France
called Rennes-Le-Château,
613
00:33:20,476 --> 00:33:24,437
there is a statue of Ashmedai,
the king of the jinn
614
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,179
that helped Solomon
to build his temple.
615
00:33:28,702 --> 00:33:31,270
TZADOK:
Rumor has it
that the Templar Knights
616
00:33:31,313 --> 00:33:35,535
endeavored to communicate
with Ashmedai,
617
00:33:35,622 --> 00:33:37,841
the king of the Shedim,
the jinn,
618
00:33:37,885 --> 00:33:40,888
who built the temple
to serve Solomon.
619
00:33:42,411 --> 00:33:45,197
NARRATOR:
Is it possible that
the Knights Templar
620
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,983
were in possession of
a long-lost alien technology?
621
00:33:49,027 --> 00:33:52,421
One that was witnessed and
documented all over the world
622
00:33:52,465 --> 00:33:53,857
in ancient times?
623
00:33:53,901 --> 00:33:57,383
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
624
00:33:57,470 --> 00:34:00,168
and suggest further clues
as to just what
625
00:34:00,212 --> 00:34:03,345
this technology was
and if it still exists
626
00:34:03,389 --> 00:34:05,913
somewhere on Earth today
can be found
627
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,350
by examining the most iconic
sacred object
628
00:34:08,394 --> 00:34:10,700
in all of Christianity:
629
00:34:10,787 --> 00:34:13,573
the Holy Grail.
630
00:34:20,797 --> 00:34:26,325
Architect Gian Lorenzo Bernini
oversees the finishing touches
631
00:34:26,368 --> 00:34:30,024
on his masterpiece,
St. Peter's Square.
632
00:34:30,068 --> 00:34:32,548
This resplendent portico
consists of
633
00:34:32,592 --> 00:34:34,202
two straight colonnades
634
00:34:34,246 --> 00:34:36,726
that open up to a wide ellipse.
635
00:34:37,988 --> 00:34:41,601
St. Peter's Square is
a very large plaza
636
00:34:41,644 --> 00:34:44,517
in front of St. Peter's Basilicain Vatican City.
637
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:48,434
The thing is that St. Peter's
Square is not a square.
638
00:34:48,477 --> 00:34:51,915
It's a keyhole shape,
and the question is why?
639
00:34:51,959 --> 00:34:54,788
The architect Bernini
tells us that
640
00:34:54,831 --> 00:34:56,268
when he envisioned
the keyhole shape,
641
00:34:56,311 --> 00:34:59,706
it was to create a sort
of a womb or a vessel
642
00:34:59,749 --> 00:35:01,621
so that the visitor
to this place
643
00:35:01,664 --> 00:35:04,493
would feel like they're
embraced by the welcoming
644
00:35:04,537 --> 00:35:06,843
or loving arms of the Church,
645
00:35:06,887 --> 00:35:10,412
that as many as one million
people can gather together
646
00:35:10,456 --> 00:35:12,022
in this spot.
647
00:35:12,066 --> 00:35:14,590
In fact, they would gather
around a-a large
648
00:35:14,634 --> 00:35:17,158
Egyptian obelisk
made of red granite
649
00:35:17,202 --> 00:35:20,857
that's in the exact center
of the apex of this site.
650
00:35:20,901 --> 00:35:23,121
But we know
that shapes hold power,
651
00:35:23,164 --> 00:35:25,035
shapes have power.
652
00:35:25,079 --> 00:35:28,648
We have to ask the question,
could this be something more?
653
00:35:30,780 --> 00:35:33,566
NARRATOR:
Some historians suggest
a clue as to why
654
00:35:33,609 --> 00:35:36,743
St. Peter's Square was designed
in the shape of a keyhole
655
00:35:36,786 --> 00:35:40,964
can be found at the Garway
Templar church in England.
656
00:35:41,008 --> 00:35:46,100
In her 2007 book the Knights
Templar Encyclopedia,
657
00:35:46,144 --> 00:35:49,712
author Karen Ralls notes
that there is a curious etching
658
00:35:49,756 --> 00:35:51,888
above the church's piscina:
659
00:35:51,932 --> 00:35:55,109
a keyhole-shaped chalice
thought to depict
660
00:35:55,153 --> 00:35:56,806
the Holy Grail.
661
00:35:58,591 --> 00:36:01,246
There are different perspectives
on what the Holy Grail is.
662
00:36:01,289 --> 00:36:04,118
The one that most people
are familiar with
663
00:36:04,162 --> 00:36:06,729
is that it's actually
a cup or a chalice,
664
00:36:06,773 --> 00:36:10,211
one that was present
at the Last Supper
665
00:36:10,255 --> 00:36:13,258
and that also was present
at the Crucifixion.
666
00:36:14,563 --> 00:36:16,652
What's interesting is that
the Grail is very often
667
00:36:16,696 --> 00:36:19,307
distinctively keyhole-shaped.
668
00:36:19,351 --> 00:36:24,182
This is eerily similar to what
the Seal of Solomon looks like.
669
00:36:25,444 --> 00:36:27,837
The keyhole shape that is
believed to be
670
00:36:27,881 --> 00:36:29,926
the actual symbol
that Solomon used
671
00:36:29,970 --> 00:36:33,539
in order to bind
or control demons.
672
00:36:33,582 --> 00:36:37,891
NARRATOR:
Could it be that the Holy Grail
and the Ring of Solomon
673
00:36:37,934 --> 00:36:40,676
are both representations
of a technology
674
00:36:40,720 --> 00:36:44,289
that was wielded
by extraterrestrial visitors?
675
00:36:44,332 --> 00:36:47,901
A mysterious 12th-century
nobleman
676
00:36:47,944 --> 00:36:51,557
named Wolfram von Eschenbach,
who is often regarded
677
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,994
as the greatest poet
of the Middle Ages,
678
00:36:54,037 --> 00:36:56,605
wrote of the Holy Grail
falling to Earth
679
00:36:56,649 --> 00:36:58,085
from the heavens.
680
00:37:01,219 --> 00:37:03,177
One of the origin stories
of the Grail is that it was
681
00:37:03,221 --> 00:37:06,528
a giant emerald that was
in the crown that Lucifer wore
682
00:37:06,572 --> 00:37:08,400
before his fall,
683
00:37:08,443 --> 00:37:10,967
that instead of descending
to the underworld,
684
00:37:11,011 --> 00:37:12,839
it fell accidentally to Earth.
685
00:37:12,882 --> 00:37:15,755
So we have a little piece
of heaven here on Earth.
686
00:37:15,798 --> 00:37:19,802
NARRATOR:
While scholars debate what parts
of Eschenbach's works
687
00:37:19,846 --> 00:37:21,848
were meant to be taken as fact,
688
00:37:21,891 --> 00:37:24,807
he goes into great detail
about the Grail,
689
00:37:24,851 --> 00:37:29,334
which he alleged was carved
from this otherworldly gemstone.
690
00:37:29,377 --> 00:37:32,598
HENRY:
The stone can instantly
manifest wishes
691
00:37:32,641 --> 00:37:35,470
through the power of
a frequency or vibration.
692
00:37:35,514 --> 00:37:39,213
This is very important
because one of the critical uses
693
00:37:39,257 --> 00:37:41,563
for the Grail is that
it could transmute
694
00:37:41,607 --> 00:37:43,478
one thing into another.
695
00:37:43,522 --> 00:37:46,960
A wasteland into a garden,
for example.
696
00:37:47,003 --> 00:37:51,617
Wolfram von Eschenbach said that
the Grail fell from the heavens.
697
00:37:51,660 --> 00:37:55,795
What if the Grail is, in fact,
extraterrestrial technology?
698
00:37:55,838 --> 00:37:57,318
[horse neighs]
699
00:37:57,362 --> 00:37:59,015
LYNN PICKNETT:We know that the Knights Templar
700
00:37:59,059 --> 00:38:01,322
spent some time in Jerusalem,
701
00:38:01,366 --> 00:38:05,848
and it's often said that they
were looking for holy relics.
702
00:38:05,892 --> 00:38:07,981
They were looking, perhaps,
for the Holy Grail.
703
00:38:08,024 --> 00:38:11,463
Had they got it,
where would they have taken it?
704
00:38:11,506 --> 00:38:13,769
So let's think about
St. Peter's Square,
705
00:38:13,813 --> 00:38:15,467
in light of this.
706
00:38:15,510 --> 00:38:20,385
Maybe it tells us that
the Grail is in Vatican City.
707
00:38:23,170 --> 00:38:26,478
NARRATOR:
is it possible that Bernini
designed St. Peter's Square
708
00:38:26,521 --> 00:38:29,394
in the shape of a keyhole
to provide a clue
709
00:38:29,437 --> 00:38:33,093
that the Holy Grail resides
somewhere at the Vatican?
710
00:38:33,136 --> 00:38:36,096
And was the Holy Grail not a cup
711
00:38:36,139 --> 00:38:38,577
that could bestow
everlasting life
712
00:38:38,620 --> 00:38:42,581
but a powerful
extraterrestrial technology?
713
00:38:42,624 --> 00:38:46,324
Some ancient astronaut theorists
believe the Grail
714
00:38:46,367 --> 00:38:49,501
may represent something
even more profound,
715
00:38:49,544 --> 00:38:54,810
and point back to the keyhole
shape found on Mars.
716
00:39:00,729 --> 00:39:03,341
NARRATOR:
November 2016.
717
00:39:03,384 --> 00:39:06,735
After a three-year study
of the keyhole formation
718
00:39:06,779 --> 00:39:10,173
discovered on Mars,
an independent research team
719
00:39:10,217 --> 00:39:13,089
led by the director
of the Cydonia Institute,
720
00:39:13,133 --> 00:39:17,093
George Haas,
publishes their findings.
721
00:39:17,137 --> 00:39:20,445
The team determined
that the formation exhibits
722
00:39:20,488 --> 00:39:23,839
such perfect symmetry
that it is highly unlikely
723
00:39:23,883 --> 00:39:26,668
to be the result
of natural erosion.
724
00:39:27,843 --> 00:39:29,976
It appears what we're
seeing on Mars
725
00:39:30,019 --> 00:39:34,241
is evidence of some unknown
extraterrestrial culture
726
00:39:34,284 --> 00:39:37,026
that I think may have been
telling the story
727
00:39:37,070 --> 00:39:38,680
of where we came from
and possibly
728
00:39:38,724 --> 00:39:40,508
where we may be going.
729
00:39:40,552 --> 00:39:45,078
NARRATOR:
If the keyhole formation on Mars
is an artificial structure,
730
00:39:45,121 --> 00:39:47,733
as this scientific study
suggests,
731
00:39:47,776 --> 00:39:51,127
could it indicate
that an alien technology,
732
00:39:51,171 --> 00:39:53,434
documented by our ancestors,
733
00:39:53,478 --> 00:39:56,089
was left on Earth's closest
neighboring planet
734
00:39:56,132 --> 00:39:59,092
for humanity to one day
discover?
735
00:40:00,180 --> 00:40:03,444
Or is it possible
that the structure
736
00:40:03,488 --> 00:40:06,273
does not represent
some physical object
737
00:40:06,316 --> 00:40:10,103
but carries a more
important message?
738
00:40:10,146 --> 00:40:13,541
Was it meant to tell us
that there are profound secrets
739
00:40:13,585 --> 00:40:16,849
waiting to be unlocked
about both our past
740
00:40:16,892 --> 00:40:18,894
and our future?
741
00:40:18,938 --> 00:40:22,550
When we look at all the examplesof the keyhole shape
742
00:40:22,594 --> 00:40:25,423
as it appears throughoutdifferent myths and traditions,
743
00:40:25,466 --> 00:40:28,121
it tells us that
that is a vital shape
744
00:40:28,164 --> 00:40:29,601
for us to understand.
745
00:40:31,298 --> 00:40:34,388
And it suggests to me that when
we find the keyhole shape,
746
00:40:34,432 --> 00:40:36,564
no matter where it is,
that they all refer
747
00:40:36,608 --> 00:40:39,698
to this great mystery,
symbolized by the keyhole,
748
00:40:39,741 --> 00:40:42,178
and that perhaps
by understanding one,
749
00:40:42,222 --> 00:40:44,833
it's gonna help us to unlock
the mysteries of all,
750
00:40:44,877 --> 00:40:48,141
and release some tremendous
cosmic power.
751
00:40:48,184 --> 00:40:52,232
TSOUKALOS:
I think that there's
an extraterrestrial message
752
00:40:52,275 --> 00:40:55,061
inside this keyhole shape.
753
00:40:55,104 --> 00:40:59,413
If anything, it is a project
754
00:40:59,457 --> 00:41:02,372
of spreading knowledge
755
00:41:02,416 --> 00:41:05,550
and information throughout
the entire universe.
756
00:41:05,593 --> 00:41:08,161
Because without information,
what-what do you have?
757
00:41:08,204 --> 00:41:10,032
You have nothing.
758
00:41:10,076 --> 00:41:14,428
CHILDRESS:I think that what's really lyingin store for humanity now
759
00:41:14,472 --> 00:41:18,432
is that we will prove
these keyhole shapes
760
00:41:18,476 --> 00:41:21,479
are really signifying
intelligent life,
761
00:41:21,522 --> 00:41:26,266
perhaps giving us technology
and helping us go into space.
762
00:41:28,181 --> 00:41:31,140
NARRATOR:
Could it be that
the keyhole shape symbolizes
763
00:41:31,184 --> 00:41:33,969
a connection to the universe
that humankind
764
00:41:34,013 --> 00:41:36,798
is only beginning to comprehend?
765
00:41:36,842 --> 00:41:40,759
Are religious artifacts
like the Holy Grail
766
00:41:40,802 --> 00:41:44,371
not divine or even
extraterrestrial objects
767
00:41:44,414 --> 00:41:48,244
but messages meant to tell us
that our destiny lies
768
00:41:48,288 --> 00:41:49,594
in the stars?
769
00:41:51,247 --> 00:41:54,163
Perhaps we are on the verge
of finally understanding
770
00:41:54,207 --> 00:41:57,776
the significance of this
ubiquitous symbol...
771
00:41:57,819 --> 00:42:01,083
and the next giant leap
for mankind
772
00:42:01,127 --> 00:42:04,913
will be more profound
than we could ever imagine.
773
