Narrator: Rockets...
2
00:00:03,372 --> 00:00:05,607
Hurling space probes deep into
3
00:00:05,675 --> 00:00:09,445
the cosmos.
4
00:00:09,513 --> 00:00:12,348
Sound waves... compelling solid
5
00:00:12,382 --> 00:00:15,852
objects to float in midair.
6
00:00:15,886 --> 00:00:19,523
Laser beams... vaporizing
7
00:00:19,558 --> 00:00:22,426
targets with pinpoint accuracy.
8
00:00:22,460 --> 00:00:24,962
Are these stunning examples of
9
00:00:25,030 --> 00:00:28,032
mankind's modern technology?
10
00:00:28,066 --> 00:00:30,704
Or are they merely recent
11
00:00:30,738 --> 00:00:33,374
incarnations of scientific
12
00:00:33,409 --> 00:00:34,943
achievements that have roots
13
00:00:34,977 --> 00:00:36,747
stretching back to the ancient
14
00:00:36,781 --> 00:00:37,882
past?
15
00:00:37,916 --> 00:00:38,916
Jason Martell: We have
16
00:00:38,951 --> 00:00:40,720
several cultures who depict
17
00:00:40,754 --> 00:00:42,956
modern technology being used
18
00:00:42,990 --> 00:00:44,492
thousands of years ago.
19
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:45,594
Philip Coppens: They were
20
00:00:45,628 --> 00:00:46,928
working with technology that
21
00:00:46,963 --> 00:00:48,565
could literally break the earth
22
00:00:48,599 --> 00:00:49,933
in two.
23
00:00:49,968 --> 00:00:51,568
David Childress: How could
24
00:00:51,603 --> 00:00:53,404
they have had these advanced
25
00:00:53,439 --> 00:00:55,907
weapons that we've only just
26
00:00:55,941 --> 00:00:58,476
acquired ourselves today?
27
00:00:58,511 --> 00:01:00,645
Giorgio Tsoukalos: Something
28
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,416
in our past has been lost, and
29
00:01:04,450 --> 00:01:07,986
we're looking for that answer.
30
00:01:08,021 --> 00:01:09,955
Narrator: Millions of people
31
00:01:09,990 --> 00:01:11,924
around the world believe we have
32
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,627
been visited in the past by
33
00:01:13,662 --> 00:01:15,763
extraterrestrial beings.
34
00:01:15,797 --> 00:01:18,499
What if it were true?
35
00:01:18,534 --> 00:01:20,535
Did ancient aliens really help
36
00:01:20,602 --> 00:01:23,504
to shape our history?
37
00:01:23,539 --> 00:01:25,940
And did mankind's cutting-edge
38
00:01:25,975 --> 00:01:27,943
technology spring from our
39
00:01:27,978 --> 00:01:30,347
imagination, or could it have
40
00:01:30,381 --> 00:01:32,650
come from a source much farther
41
00:01:32,685 --> 00:01:35,454
away?

43
00:02:06,190 --> 00:02:07,991
Narrator: In the early
44
00:02:08,025 --> 00:02:09,993
morning hours of November 5,
45
00:02:10,028 --> 00:02:13,264
2005, the luxury cruise ship
46
00:02:13,332 --> 00:02:15,334
the seabourn spirit found
47
00:02:15,368 --> 00:02:17,903
itself under attack by pirates
48
00:02:17,938 --> 00:02:20,173
in the waters off the coast
49
00:02:20,207 --> 00:02:21,942
of Somalia.
50
00:02:22,010 --> 00:02:24,044
But the Somali bandits were
51
00:02:24,079 --> 00:02:26,080
successfully repelled by a
52
00:02:26,114 --> 00:02:27,849
relatively new and formidable
53
00:02:27,883 --> 00:02:31,186
defensive weapon: A long range
54
00:02:31,221 --> 00:02:35,024
acoustic device or lrad.
55
00:02:35,058 --> 00:02:37,393
Manufactured by the lrad
56
00:02:37,427 --> 00:02:40,129
corporation, this sonic device
57
00:02:40,197 --> 00:02:42,899
can, when focused on a target,
58
00:02:42,933 --> 00:02:45,468
produce a piercing sound that
59
00:02:45,536 --> 00:02:48,538
can exceed 150 decibels-. Enough
60
00:02:48,572 --> 00:02:51,241
to cause temporary blindness,
61
00:02:51,276 --> 00:02:52,543
nausea and permanent hearing
62
00:02:52,577 --> 00:02:54,579
loss.
63
00:02:54,580 --> 00:02:56,548
Childress: The U.S. army used
64
00:02:56,582 --> 00:02:58,283
sonic weapons in Iraq.
65
00:02:58,318 --> 00:03:00,453
They're used in crowd control.
66
00:03:00,487 --> 00:03:02,288
There are certain types of low
67
00:03:02,322 --> 00:03:04,056
rumbles and signals that will
68
00:03:04,091 --> 00:03:05,825
affect a person.
69
00:03:05,893 --> 00:03:08,061
They make you feel sick.
70
00:03:08,062 --> 00:03:10,063
Narrator: The lrad is
71
00:03:10,097 --> 00:03:11,264
currently used by law
72
00:03:11,299 --> 00:03:13,400
enforcement, the military and
73
00:03:13,434 --> 00:03:15,936
private security, and is
74
00:03:15,970 --> 00:03:17,838
considered the ultimate in
75
00:03:17,905 --> 00:03:18,972
sonic weaponry.
76
00:03:19,006 --> 00:03:21,174
(High-pitched ringing)
77
00:03:21,242 --> 00:03:23,343
But is the lrad really a
78
00:03:23,411 --> 00:03:25,845
21st-century invention?
79
00:03:25,913 --> 00:03:27,447
Or is there evidence that
80
00:03:27,481 --> 00:03:29,415
similar audio weapons existed
81
00:03:29,450 --> 00:03:33,486
in ancient times?
82
00:03:33,521 --> 00:03:36,423
Approximately 17 Miles northeast
83
00:03:36,458 --> 00:03:39,260
of Jerusalem lies the ancient
84
00:03:39,294 --> 00:03:42,030
ruins of the city of Jericho.
85
00:03:42,098 --> 00:03:44,867
Here, archaeologists have
86
00:03:44,934 --> 00:03:46,201
uncovered evidence of
87
00:03:46,269 --> 00:03:47,469
settlements dating back
88
00:03:47,504 --> 00:03:49,538
to 9000 bc.
89
00:03:49,606 --> 00:03:52,274
According to the Hebrew Bible,
90
00:03:52,308 --> 00:03:54,309
Jericho is believed to be
91
00:03:54,343 --> 00:03:56,211
where God spoke to Joshua,
92
00:03:56,279 --> 00:03:58,113
the successor to Moses,
93
00:03:58,148 --> 00:04:00,182
and instructed him to march
94
00:04:00,216 --> 00:04:02,117
around the walled city once
95
00:04:02,151 --> 00:04:04,286
every six days with seven
96
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,388
priests carrying rams' horns
97
00:04:06,456 --> 00:04:08,390
and followed by the ark of the
98
00:04:08,458 --> 00:04:10,292
covenant, the golden chest
99
00:04:10,326 --> 00:04:14,297
containing the ten commandments.
100
00:04:14,331 --> 00:04:17,033
Then, on the seventh day, under
101
00:04:17,067 --> 00:04:19,969
orders by God, Joshua and the
102
00:04:20,004 --> 00:04:21,838
israelites marched around the
103
00:04:21,872 --> 00:04:23,306
perimeter of the city one last
104
00:04:23,341 --> 00:04:24,474
time.
105
00:04:24,508 --> 00:04:26,042
(Horns blowing)
106
00:04:26,077 --> 00:04:27,911
But this time, they blew the
107
00:04:27,979 --> 00:04:30,013
rams' horns.
108
00:04:30,048 --> 00:04:34,317
The walls of Jericho fell...
109
00:04:34,352 --> 00:04:37,220
And the city was sacked.
110
00:04:41,893 --> 00:04:43,193
David Wilcock: In the old
111
00:04:43,227 --> 00:04:44,861
testament, you see very clear
112
00:04:44,895 --> 00:04:47,864
descriptions in Joshua 6 about
113
00:04:47,898 --> 00:04:50,032
the Shofar, which is described
114
00:04:50,067 --> 00:04:51,501
as a trumpet that was used in
115
00:04:51,535 --> 00:04:53,202
the battle of Jericho to
116
00:04:53,237 --> 00:04:56,072
actually bring the walls down.
117
00:04:58,375 --> 00:04:59,442
Narrator: To religious
118
00:04:59,510 --> 00:05:00,877
scholars, the collapse of
119
00:05:00,911 --> 00:05:03,179
Jericho's walls was a miracle.
120
00:05:03,214 --> 00:05:05,381
To most modern day scientists
121
00:05:05,416 --> 00:05:07,851
and historians, the destruction
122
00:05:07,885 --> 00:05:09,419
was most probably caused by
123
00:05:09,453 --> 00:05:11,088
an earthquake.
124
00:05:11,122 --> 00:05:12,523
But could it have been
125
00:05:12,557 --> 00:05:14,858
something else?
126
00:05:14,892 --> 00:05:16,860
Could the israelites have
127
00:05:16,894 --> 00:05:18,362
possessed advanced sound wave
128
00:05:18,396 --> 00:05:20,264
technology?
129
00:05:20,298 --> 00:05:23,034
If so, where did it come from?
130
00:05:23,035 --> 00:05:24,869
Jonathan young: In the
131
00:05:24,904 --> 00:05:25,870
scriptures, we have a
132
00:05:25,904 --> 00:05:27,038
fascinating story about the
133
00:05:27,072 --> 00:05:28,539
fall of the walls of Jericho.
134
00:05:28,574 --> 00:05:30,875
The armies were told to circle
135
00:05:30,909 --> 00:05:32,209
the wall repeatedly, and then
136
00:05:32,244 --> 00:05:33,878
finally blow their horns, and
137
00:05:33,912 --> 00:05:35,212
down came the walls.
138
00:05:35,247 --> 00:05:36,280
And we know there was a
139
00:05:36,315 --> 00:05:37,881
powerful presence.
140
00:05:37,916 --> 00:05:39,282
The ark of the covenant, this
141
00:05:39,317 --> 00:05:41,885
mysterious, sacred item, was
142
00:05:41,919 --> 00:05:43,253
with them at all times, which,
143
00:05:43,287 --> 00:05:45,122
of course, was part of the event
144
00:05:45,157 --> 00:05:46,891
and part of the fall of the
145
00:05:46,925 --> 00:05:49,927
walls of Jericho.
146
00:05:49,928 --> 00:05:51,897
Childress: The idea that
147
00:05:51,931 --> 00:05:54,900
some kind of sonic weapon was
148
00:05:54,935 --> 00:05:58,104
used to destroy these huge,
149
00:05:58,138 --> 00:06:00,140
thick, ancient walls to allow
150
00:06:00,207 --> 00:06:01,908
the israelites to basically
151
00:06:01,943 --> 00:06:03,277
take over that city is a
152
00:06:03,311 --> 00:06:04,778
fascinating one.
153
00:06:04,813 --> 00:06:06,147
So what kind of technology were
154
00:06:06,214 --> 00:06:07,781
they using?
155
00:06:07,816 --> 00:06:10,885
It sounds utterly fantastic to
156
00:06:10,919 --> 00:06:12,219
us that they could have had some
157
00:06:12,254 --> 00:06:13,821
kind of advanced alien
158
00:06:13,889 --> 00:06:15,122
technology.
159
00:06:15,157 --> 00:06:16,290
It's clearly what they're
160
00:06:16,325 --> 00:06:18,326
describing.
161
00:06:18,327 --> 00:06:20,294
Tudor Parfitt: There is
162
00:06:20,329 --> 00:06:22,396
little doubt that the ark of
163
00:06:22,431 --> 00:06:24,799
the covenant was a weapon.
164
00:06:24,833 --> 00:06:26,934
It was described as a weapon,
165
00:06:26,969 --> 00:06:29,170
famously, when the israelites
166
00:06:29,238 --> 00:06:31,239
crossed over into canaan and
167
00:06:31,273 --> 00:06:34,909
they had to pass by Jericho.
168
00:06:34,910 --> 00:06:37,245
And it could be that there was
169
00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:39,815
some technology.
170
00:06:39,849 --> 00:06:41,985
We do not know what that
171
00:06:42,019 --> 00:06:43,453
technology was, but there was
172
00:06:43,487 --> 00:06:45,422
clearly an association between
173
00:06:45,456 --> 00:06:47,291
the ark and the falling down of
174
00:06:47,325 --> 00:06:49,427
the walls, and that's the reason
175
00:06:49,461 --> 00:06:51,829
that the ark was sent around
176
00:06:51,863 --> 00:06:54,865
the periphery of the city.
177
00:06:58,970 --> 00:07:00,838
Narrator: According to many
178
00:07:00,872 --> 00:07:02,807
ancient astronaut theorists,
179
00:07:02,841 --> 00:07:04,775
Moses and the israelites
180
00:07:04,810 --> 00:07:06,878
acquired a supernatural source
181
00:07:06,946 --> 00:07:09,013
of energy at mount sinai.
182
00:07:09,048 --> 00:07:11,382
This powerful energy source was
183
00:07:11,450 --> 00:07:13,451
later contained in the ark of
184
00:07:13,486 --> 00:07:15,320
the covenant, and would have
185
00:07:15,354 --> 00:07:16,822
provided the kind of power
186
00:07:16,856 --> 00:07:18,958
necessary to amplify Joshua's
187
00:07:18,992 --> 00:07:21,127
horns and make them into a
188
00:07:21,161 --> 00:07:23,830
powerful sonic weapon.
189
00:07:23,864 --> 00:07:25,365
Wilcock: What's interesting
190
00:07:25,399 --> 00:07:27,200
about the battle of Jericho is
191
00:07:27,235 --> 00:07:28,968
that this particular use of the
192
00:07:29,003 --> 00:07:31,237
Shofar clearly seems to be the
193
00:07:31,305 --> 00:07:32,805
same thing that we're seeing
194
00:07:32,839 --> 00:07:34,873
with particle beam technology,
195
00:07:34,908 --> 00:07:36,975
death ray technology,
196
00:07:37,009 --> 00:07:38,843
thunderbolt technology.
197
00:07:38,878 --> 00:07:40,911
It very clearly seems that once
198
00:07:40,979 --> 00:07:42,079
again we have an
199
00:07:42,147 --> 00:07:43,381
extraterrestrial technology
200
00:07:43,415 --> 00:07:45,015
that the ancient people had at
201
00:07:45,049 --> 00:07:46,817
the ready that they could use
202
00:07:46,851 --> 00:07:48,352
when needed for military
203
00:07:48,386 --> 00:07:51,823
campaigns.
204
00:07:51,857 --> 00:07:53,825
Narrator: But even if the
205
00:07:53,860 --> 00:07:55,861
israelites possessed some sort
206
00:07:55,895 --> 00:07:57,829
of advanced extraterrestrial
207
00:07:57,864 --> 00:08:00,166
technology, could the amplified
208
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,335
sound of rams' horns really
209
00:08:02,369 --> 00:08:04,904
bring down stone walls?
210
00:08:04,939 --> 00:08:07,207
According to scientist and
211
00:08:07,241 --> 00:08:08,942
former astronaut Professor
212
00:08:09,010 --> 00:08:11,412
Taylor wang, recent research
213
00:08:11,446 --> 00:08:13,213
into the field of physical
214
00:08:13,247 --> 00:08:15,782
acoustics suggests it is a
215
00:08:15,850 --> 00:08:17,851
distinct possibility.
216
00:08:17,852 --> 00:08:19,854
Taylor wang: Jericho's wall
217
00:08:19,888 --> 00:08:21,856
breaking apart... if you said it
218
00:08:21,891 --> 00:08:23,358
has happened, caused by
219
00:08:23,392 --> 00:08:26,795
acoustics, caused by sound...
220
00:08:26,862 --> 00:08:29,364
Well, the possibility has to be
221
00:08:29,398 --> 00:08:31,199
somehow a resonance is built
222
00:08:31,233 --> 00:08:33,234
in that wall.
223
00:08:33,269 --> 00:08:34,803
It may not be the whole wall...
224
00:08:34,870 --> 00:08:35,803
maybe some of the structure
225
00:08:35,871 --> 00:08:36,804
material.
226
00:08:36,872 --> 00:08:38,205
When that resonance happens,
227
00:08:38,239 --> 00:08:39,873
amplitude gets large enough,
228
00:08:39,908 --> 00:08:41,809
yes, it could destroy almost
229
00:08:41,876 --> 00:08:43,410
anything, because what the
230
00:08:43,444 --> 00:08:45,278
resonance does is store
231
00:08:45,313 --> 00:08:46,880
an enormous amount of energy.
232
00:08:46,914 --> 00:08:48,048
So you keep on, keep on feeding
233
00:08:48,082 --> 00:08:50,149
it, eventually it shatters
234
00:08:50,217 --> 00:08:52,452
everything.
235
00:08:52,486 --> 00:08:54,888
Michael Dennin: When you want
236
00:08:54,923 --> 00:08:56,390
to know how powerful sound is,
237
00:08:56,424 --> 00:08:57,458
you have to realize that the
238
00:08:57,492 --> 00:08:58,892
basic thing that sound is, is a
239
00:08:58,927 --> 00:09:00,394
pressure wave, and it will come
240
00:09:00,428 --> 00:09:01,762
down to the amount of energy you
241
00:09:01,796 --> 00:09:03,330
put into your sound wave and
242
00:09:03,398 --> 00:09:05,399
whether or not that particular
243
00:09:05,433 --> 00:09:07,334
pressure wave you generate will
244
00:09:07,402 --> 00:09:08,936
couple or impact the thing
245
00:09:08,970 --> 00:09:11,939
you're trying to destroy.
246
00:09:13,976 --> 00:09:15,777
You can make it quite powerful,
247
00:09:15,811 --> 00:09:16,778
'cause you can make a very high
248
00:09:16,812 --> 00:09:18,012
amplitude, very large pressures
249
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,113
in the sound.
250
00:09:19,148 --> 00:09:20,782
It might be at a frequency or
251
00:09:20,816 --> 00:09:21,783
amplitude where we no longer
252
00:09:21,817 --> 00:09:23,017
hear it as sound, but from a
253
00:09:23,085 --> 00:09:24,285
physics point of view, it is
254
00:09:24,319 --> 00:09:25,420
still sound because it's a
255
00:09:25,454 --> 00:09:26,787
pressure wave in the air.
256
00:09:26,822 --> 00:09:27,955
So it can get quite destructive,
257
00:09:27,989 --> 00:09:29,089
if you put enough energy
258
00:09:29,124 --> 00:09:32,793
into it.
259
00:09:32,827 --> 00:09:34,462
You could also think of it as a
260
00:09:34,496 --> 00:09:35,463
particle weapon because you're
261
00:09:35,497 --> 00:09:36,931
moving air around, and you would
262
00:09:36,965 --> 00:09:38,132
just need something to focus
263
00:09:38,167 --> 00:09:39,367
the sound which we know
264
00:09:39,434 --> 00:09:40,268
how to do.
265
00:09:40,302 --> 00:09:41,836
So that would give you a
266
00:09:41,870 --> 00:09:43,370
directed energy beam with sound.
267
00:09:43,438 --> 00:09:46,940
Narrator: But if, as ancient
268
00:09:46,975 --> 00:09:48,375
astronaut theorists suggest,
269
00:09:48,443 --> 00:09:50,277
early civilizations had been
270
00:09:50,312 --> 00:09:51,812
able to harness the power of
271
00:09:51,846 --> 00:09:55,982
sound for destructive purposes,
272
00:09:56,017 --> 00:09:57,384
could there be evidence that
273
00:09:57,452 --> 00:09:59,486
such technology might also have
274
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,054
been used for a more
275
00:10:01,122 --> 00:10:03,056
constructive purpose?
276
00:10:03,124 --> 00:10:04,959
Might it help to explain the
277
00:10:04,993 --> 00:10:07,828
existence of mammoth stone
278
00:10:07,862 --> 00:10:10,130
structures whose construction
279
00:10:10,165 --> 00:10:12,133
has baffled modern scientists
280
00:10:12,167 --> 00:10:14,135
for centuries?
281
00:10:19,839 --> 00:10:21,640
Narrator: Mycenae.
282
00:10:21,675 --> 00:10:23,809
In the second millennium b.C.,
283
00:10:23,843 --> 00:10:26,377
this ancient fortress city
284
00:10:26,412 --> 00:10:27,378
dominated much of
285
00:10:27,412 --> 00:10:30,648
Southern Greece.
286
00:10:30,682 --> 00:10:33,483
Here, fortifications were built
287
00:10:33,518 --> 00:10:35,218
in a style known as
288
00:10:35,253 --> 00:10:37,153
"cyclopean masonry,"
289
00:10:37,187 --> 00:10:38,587
where huge limestone
290
00:10:38,622 --> 00:10:40,255
boulders were fitted tightly
291
00:10:40,290 --> 00:10:42,157
together without the use
292
00:10:42,192 --> 00:10:44,159
of mortar.
293
00:10:46,196 --> 00:10:48,430
The term "cyclopean" refers to
294
00:10:48,465 --> 00:10:50,733
the fact that... according to
295
00:10:50,767 --> 00:10:51,600
ancient myths... these
296
00:10:51,634 --> 00:10:53,335
mycenaean fortifications were
297
00:10:53,369 --> 00:10:55,237
thought to be the work of a
298
00:10:55,271 --> 00:10:57,172
strong, one-eyed race of giants
299
00:10:57,206 --> 00:11:00,776
known as the cyclopes.
300
00:11:00,810 --> 00:11:02,511
Philip Coppens: When you look
301
00:11:02,546 --> 00:11:03,746
at mycenae in Greece, you're
302
00:11:03,780 --> 00:11:05,815
confronted with an anomalous
303
00:11:05,849 --> 00:11:07,283
civilization, really.
304
00:11:07,318 --> 00:11:09,352
It is a city which people who
305
00:11:09,386 --> 00:11:11,621
looked at it said, "only the
306
00:11:11,655 --> 00:11:13,189
cyclops could have built this."
307
00:11:13,223 --> 00:11:15,458
The cyclops is, perhaps not by
308
00:11:15,492 --> 00:11:16,459
coincidence, a mythical
309
00:11:16,493 --> 00:11:18,494
creature.
310
00:11:18,495 --> 00:11:19,863
So we really are confronted
311
00:11:19,897 --> 00:11:21,597
with the fact that people are
312
00:11:21,632 --> 00:11:23,199
saying mankind could not have
313
00:11:23,233 --> 00:11:24,633
built this.
314
00:11:24,634 --> 00:11:26,369
It has to have been something
315
00:11:26,403 --> 00:11:28,370
above, or other than man, who
316
00:11:28,405 --> 00:11:29,538
has constructed these walls.
317
00:11:29,572 --> 00:11:31,273
And when you look at the fact
318
00:11:31,308 --> 00:11:33,209
that tons and tons and tons of
319
00:11:33,243 --> 00:11:35,211
stones have been used in a way
320
00:11:35,245 --> 00:11:36,779
that really defies,
321
00:11:36,813 --> 00:11:38,547
almost, gravity...
322
00:11:38,582 --> 00:11:40,382
And I think that's why we have
323
00:11:40,417 --> 00:11:42,151
to say that mycenae is
324
00:11:42,185 --> 00:11:43,485
definitely beyond human
325
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,220
capability of that specific
326
00:11:45,255 --> 00:11:46,688
time and that specific period
327
00:11:46,722 --> 00:11:49,358
in Greek history.
328
00:11:51,328 --> 00:11:53,162
Tsoukalos: In mycenae, Greece
329
00:11:53,196 --> 00:11:54,563
there is what's called the
330
00:11:54,598 --> 00:11:57,333
"treasury of atreus."
331
00:11:57,367 --> 00:12:00,169
And right in there, there is
332
00:12:00,203 --> 00:12:01,737
one stone that has been hoisted
333
00:12:01,772 --> 00:12:03,572
over the entrance of that
334
00:12:03,607 --> 00:12:06,208
treasury, and it weighs an
335
00:12:06,242 --> 00:12:10,379
estimated 250 tons.
336
00:12:10,413 --> 00:12:12,748
It is perfect.
337
00:12:12,782 --> 00:12:15,217
Just unbelievable.
338
00:12:15,218 --> 00:12:17,319
Now, we would have difficulties
339
00:12:17,353 --> 00:12:20,255
today moving that stuff around.
340
00:12:20,290 --> 00:12:21,690
Now, I'm not saying that we
341
00:12:21,724 --> 00:12:23,925
today cannot do it.
342
00:12:23,926 --> 00:12:25,728
I'm not saying that, but if
343
00:12:25,762 --> 00:12:29,298
we're struggling with our
344
00:12:29,332 --> 00:12:31,567
modern technology, is it really
345
00:12:31,601 --> 00:12:33,902
logical to suggest that our
346
00:12:33,937 --> 00:12:36,738
ancestors did this with pivots,
347
00:12:36,773 --> 00:12:39,475
and with little ropes, and with
348
00:12:39,509 --> 00:12:42,178
wooden rollers?
349
00:12:42,179 --> 00:12:43,646
Michael Bara: You look at all
350
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:45,214
these ancient structures all
351
00:12:45,248 --> 00:12:47,149
over the world: Mayan
352
00:12:47,183 --> 00:12:49,451
structures, pyramids,
353
00:12:49,485 --> 00:12:50,318
Greek temples.
354
00:12:50,353 --> 00:12:51,587
You see all of these... these
355
00:12:51,621 --> 00:12:53,155
blocks that are not only
356
00:12:53,189 --> 00:12:54,156
enormous, it would be
357
00:12:54,190 --> 00:12:55,290
impossible to move them around
358
00:12:55,325 --> 00:12:57,326
with anything but even our best
359
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,163
technology today.
360
00:13:00,197 --> 00:13:01,297
Childress: One of the great
361
00:13:01,331 --> 00:13:02,498
enigmas of the megalithic
362
00:13:02,532 --> 00:13:03,766
buildings around the world is
363
00:13:03,801 --> 00:13:05,234
that in many cases they're
364
00:13:05,269 --> 00:13:07,770
built with such large and heavy
365
00:13:07,804 --> 00:13:10,539
granite or basalt stones.
366
00:13:10,540 --> 00:13:13,675
Even giant cranes would barely
367
00:13:13,710 --> 00:13:16,278
be useful to lift some of these
368
00:13:16,313 --> 00:13:19,181
really large stones, such as
369
00:13:19,215 --> 00:13:20,583
the stones at Baalbek in
370
00:13:20,617 --> 00:13:22,684
Lebanon, where you have just
371
00:13:22,719 --> 00:13:26,188
mind-bogglingly huge stones
372
00:13:26,222 --> 00:13:28,523
that weigh, in some cases, over
373
00:13:28,558 --> 00:13:31,426
a thousand tons.
374
00:13:31,461 --> 00:13:33,695
Narrator: But just how could
375
00:13:33,729 --> 00:13:36,197
ancient man have built such
376
00:13:36,232 --> 00:13:37,832
colossal structures?
377
00:13:37,867 --> 00:13:40,602
Were the stones really moved by
378
00:13:40,636 --> 00:13:44,338
beings with superhuman strength?
379
00:13:44,372 --> 00:13:46,674
Or might the builders have had
380
00:13:46,708 --> 00:13:48,842
access to an advanced... perhaps
381
00:13:48,876 --> 00:13:51,544
alien... technology?
382
00:13:51,579 --> 00:13:54,180
For ancient astronaut
383
00:13:54,214 --> 00:13:56,181
theorists, the key might be
384
00:13:56,215 --> 00:13:58,183
found not by studying the
385
00:13:58,217 --> 00:13:59,717
laws of physics, but by
386
00:13:59,752 --> 00:14:01,719
exploring the interdisciplinary
387
00:14:01,753 --> 00:14:03,721
science of acoustics and the
388
00:14:03,755 --> 00:14:05,555
principle of acoustic
389
00:14:05,590 --> 00:14:07,358
levitation.
390
00:14:07,392 --> 00:14:08,726
Thomas Valone: Acoustic
391
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,861
levitation is another way that
392
00:14:10,896 --> 00:14:12,363
alien civilizations may have
393
00:14:12,397 --> 00:14:14,532
influenced our history.
394
00:14:14,533 --> 00:14:16,534
And there is some evidence for
395
00:14:16,568 --> 00:14:18,336
that, especially when you look
396
00:14:18,370 --> 00:14:19,871
at some of the research that's
397
00:14:19,905 --> 00:14:21,639
been done in acoustic
398
00:14:21,673 --> 00:14:24,742
levitation here in laboratories.
399
00:14:24,777 --> 00:14:27,379
(Steady, high-pitched tone)
400
00:14:32,352 --> 00:14:34,220
Wang: This system is a
401
00:14:34,255 --> 00:14:36,423
acoustic positioning device, and
402
00:14:36,457 --> 00:14:38,425
what happens inside, we create
403
00:14:38,459 --> 00:14:41,629
an acoustic force field.
404
00:14:41,630 --> 00:14:42,763
The force field is pushing
405
00:14:42,797 --> 00:14:44,531
everything toward the center.
406
00:14:44,565 --> 00:14:46,333
And the force field can rotate,
407
00:14:46,367 --> 00:14:48,168
the force field can oscillate.
408
00:14:48,202 --> 00:14:49,736
This ball is fairly light
409
00:14:49,770 --> 00:14:51,171
material.
410
00:14:51,205 --> 00:14:53,573
It's about ten grams, no more.
411
00:14:53,607 --> 00:14:55,341
It's meant to be light.
412
00:14:55,376 --> 00:14:56,676
But if you want to move the
413
00:14:56,710 --> 00:14:58,410
very heavy object, a large
414
00:14:58,445 --> 00:14:59,611
object, what you really have to
415
00:14:59,646 --> 00:15:01,513
develop in conjunction with the
416
00:15:01,547 --> 00:15:04,282
acoustic positioning device, is
417
00:15:04,317 --> 00:15:05,684
antigravity device.
418
00:15:05,719 --> 00:15:07,786
Because acoustic position
419
00:15:07,821 --> 00:15:09,755
device, really meant to fine
420
00:15:09,790 --> 00:15:12,725
tuning of the force field, but
421
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,761
the system must be force-free,
422
00:15:14,796 --> 00:15:18,632
otherwise it won't be budged.
423
00:15:18,667 --> 00:15:20,234
Narrator: But is it possible
424
00:15:20,269 --> 00:15:22,470
that early builders had access
425
00:15:22,505 --> 00:15:23,771
to the kind of acoustic
426
00:15:23,806 --> 00:15:26,874
technology that would allow for
427
00:15:26,909 --> 00:15:28,476
the transportation and careful
428
00:15:28,510 --> 00:15:31,211
placement of mega-ton boulders
429
00:15:31,246 --> 00:15:34,215
and stone blocks?
430
00:15:34,249 --> 00:15:35,782
Ancient astronaut theorists
431
00:15:35,817 --> 00:15:38,152
believe clues can be found in
432
00:15:38,187 --> 00:15:39,487
the myths and tales of magic
433
00:15:39,521 --> 00:15:42,357
handed down throughout time.
434
00:15:42,358 --> 00:15:43,591
Tsoukalos: There are many
435
00:15:43,626 --> 00:15:44,726
ancient legends which suggest
436
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,162
that some of the monuments were
437
00:15:47,196 --> 00:15:48,663
built with the help of acoustic
438
00:15:48,698 --> 00:15:50,699
levitation.
439
00:15:50,700 --> 00:15:53,602
What the local legend of
440
00:15:53,636 --> 00:15:57,340
stonehenge talks about is that
441
00:15:57,374 --> 00:15:58,607
those big stones were
442
00:15:58,642 --> 00:16:01,744
transported by way of
443
00:16:01,778 --> 00:16:04,280
levitation by none other than
444
00:16:04,314 --> 00:16:06,648
Merlin the wizard.
445
00:16:06,683 --> 00:16:08,616
And he had a magical rod with
446
00:16:08,651 --> 00:16:11,786
which he pointed at the stones,
447
00:16:11,820 --> 00:16:14,188
and they would levitate and
448
00:16:14,222 --> 00:16:16,190
position into place.
449
00:16:16,224 --> 00:16:18,191
It's a very fascinating
450
00:16:18,226 --> 00:16:19,192
story, because we know
451
00:16:19,227 --> 00:16:20,660
that some of these stones
452
00:16:20,695 --> 00:16:22,195
have been transported there
453
00:16:22,229 --> 00:16:25,197
from as far away as 200 Miles.
454
00:16:25,232 --> 00:16:29,535
And ancient legends are a
455
00:16:29,570 --> 00:16:34,207
bridge to finding what truly
456
00:16:34,241 --> 00:16:37,176
happened in our past.
457
00:16:37,211 --> 00:16:38,544
Bara: There are lots of
458
00:16:38,579 --> 00:16:39,645
stories of stones being
459
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:40,780
levitated, all using the power
460
00:16:40,814 --> 00:16:42,815
of sound.
461
00:16:42,816 --> 00:16:44,150
It's interesting as
462
00:16:44,184 --> 00:16:46,219
you read these stories of magic,
463
00:16:46,253 --> 00:16:47,721
that you see that they have to
464
00:16:47,755 --> 00:16:49,156
use the chanting.
465
00:16:49,190 --> 00:16:50,390
They have to chant certain
466
00:16:50,425 --> 00:16:52,759
spells, certain words.
467
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,561
Certain vibrational frequencies
468
00:16:54,595 --> 00:16:56,463
seem to create certain effects
469
00:16:56,497 --> 00:16:58,231
in the physical realm.
470
00:16:58,266 --> 00:17:00,167
To me, it makes complete sense
471
00:17:00,201 --> 00:17:01,835
that the use of a technology,
472
00:17:01,869 --> 00:17:03,536
say, a magic wand of some kind,
473
00:17:03,571 --> 00:17:06,640
would be some sort of amplifier.
474
00:17:08,376 --> 00:17:09,476
George Noory: I mean, there's
475
00:17:09,510 --> 00:17:12,412
no way that human beings, even
476
00:17:12,447 --> 00:17:13,680
a hundred thousand of them,
477
00:17:13,715 --> 00:17:15,682
could pull these things.
478
00:17:15,717 --> 00:17:17,685
They've done experiments by
479
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,521
putting hands around blocks.
480
00:17:20,522 --> 00:17:22,423
You can't get enough hands
481
00:17:22,458 --> 00:17:23,191
in there.
482
00:17:23,225 --> 00:17:24,592
You can't get 200,000 hands to
483
00:17:24,626 --> 00:17:26,627
lift a block.
484
00:17:26,628 --> 00:17:28,429
And once you roll it with all
485
00:17:28,463 --> 00:17:29,764
these people, how do you
486
00:17:29,798 --> 00:17:32,200
move it?
487
00:17:32,234 --> 00:17:33,535
I think the technology had to
488
00:17:33,569 --> 00:17:35,603
do with some kind of sound, and
489
00:17:35,637 --> 00:17:37,571
they were able to just come up
490
00:17:37,606 --> 00:17:40,207
with some antigravity, and just
491
00:17:40,241 --> 00:17:42,442
move 'em into place.
492
00:17:42,477 --> 00:17:43,377
Narrator: But did ancient
493
00:17:43,411 --> 00:17:46,114
aliens, using antigravity and
494
00:17:46,148 --> 00:17:48,116
sonic levitation technology,
495
00:17:48,150 --> 00:17:50,218
help early humans build the
496
00:17:50,253 --> 00:17:52,554
ancient wonders of the world?
497
00:17:52,589 --> 00:17:53,455
Wang: Well, everything's
498
00:17:53,490 --> 00:17:54,456
possible.
499
00:17:54,491 --> 00:17:56,692
We have no way to rule in or
500
00:17:56,726 --> 00:17:59,295
rule out aliens, because human
501
00:17:59,329 --> 00:18:01,197
technology is very primitive
502
00:18:01,231 --> 00:18:02,265
at this stage.
503
00:18:02,299 --> 00:18:04,300
And you look at earth... has
504
00:18:04,334 --> 00:18:05,635
only survived four billion
505
00:18:05,669 --> 00:18:08,304
years, but there are planets
506
00:18:08,338 --> 00:18:09,571
billions and billions of years
507
00:18:09,606 --> 00:18:10,539
ahead of us.
508
00:18:10,573 --> 00:18:12,140
Their technology and their
509
00:18:12,175 --> 00:18:14,142
knowledge, it can be so far
510
00:18:14,177 --> 00:18:15,410
ahead of us, we can't even
511
00:18:15,444 --> 00:18:18,379
imagine.
512
00:18:18,414 --> 00:18:19,647
Narrator: But if early
513
00:18:19,681 --> 00:18:21,649
civilizations did possess the
514
00:18:21,683 --> 00:18:23,718
ability to levitate large solid
515
00:18:23,752 --> 00:18:26,287
objects, might they have also
516
00:18:26,321 --> 00:18:28,156
possessed another even greater
517
00:18:28,190 --> 00:18:29,390
ability?
518
00:18:29,425 --> 00:18:31,159
Might they have also mastered
519
00:18:31,193 --> 00:18:33,160
the power of flight?
520
00:18:36,585 --> 00:18:39,721
Narrator: Flying saucers.
521
00:18:39,755 --> 00:18:41,723
UFOs.
522
00:18:44,326 --> 00:18:46,260
Mainstream historians claim
523
00:18:46,328 --> 00:18:47,662
sightings of these mysterious
524
00:18:47,696 --> 00:18:50,665
craft are mostly a 20th-century
525
00:18:50,699 --> 00:18:53,268
phenomenon.
526
00:18:53,335 --> 00:18:54,669
But according to ancient
527
00:18:54,703 --> 00:18:56,604
astronaut theorists,
528
00:18:56,672 --> 00:18:58,673
unidentified flying objects
529
00:18:58,707 --> 00:19:00,341
have been appearing in earth's
530
00:19:00,375 --> 00:19:02,710
skies since the dawn of man.
531
00:19:04,746 --> 00:19:06,280
Childress: Depictions of
532
00:19:06,348 --> 00:19:08,282
flying saucers and what seems
533
00:19:08,350 --> 00:19:09,383
to be some kind of ancient
534
00:19:09,418 --> 00:19:11,753
spacecraft go back to some of
535
00:19:11,787 --> 00:19:13,688
the earliest cave paintings
536
00:19:13,723 --> 00:19:15,691
that we know of.
537
00:19:15,692 --> 00:19:17,292
Scientists date these cave
538
00:19:17,360 --> 00:19:19,294
paintings back to 20, 30,000
539
00:19:19,362 --> 00:19:20,930
b.C.
540
00:19:20,964 --> 00:19:22,632
And these cave paintings are in
541
00:19:22,699 --> 00:19:26,636
Russia, China, Africa, South
542
00:19:26,704 --> 00:19:28,872
America and other areas.
543
00:19:28,906 --> 00:19:31,441
And they appear to be some kind
544
00:19:31,475 --> 00:19:33,443
of a spacecraft.
545
00:19:36,614 --> 00:19:38,315
Wilcock: You can go back to
546
00:19:38,382 --> 00:19:40,584
ancient sumerian inscriptions
547
00:19:40,618 --> 00:19:42,553
from Babylon, and you actually
548
00:19:42,587 --> 00:19:44,588
see these discs with wings
549
00:19:44,622 --> 00:19:48,325
around them and depictions of
550
00:19:48,392 --> 00:19:51,594
people flying in them.
551
00:19:51,629 --> 00:19:53,330
And you see the same thing in
552
00:19:53,397 --> 00:19:55,331
Egypt where you see round discs
553
00:19:55,399 --> 00:19:58,668
that have wings coming off them.
554
00:19:58,735 --> 00:20:00,903
What you're dealing with is,
555
00:20:00,938 --> 00:20:02,571
most likely, actually a flying
556
00:20:02,606 --> 00:20:03,906
saucer that's being seen up in
557
00:20:03,940 --> 00:20:05,608
space.
558
00:20:09,413 --> 00:20:10,679
Narrator: Guatemala, central
559
00:20:10,747 --> 00:20:12,314
America.
560
00:20:12,349 --> 00:20:13,782
According to most mainstream
561
00:20:13,816 --> 00:20:16,284
scholars and archaeologists,
562
00:20:16,319 --> 00:20:17,953
the earliest human settlements
563
00:20:17,987 --> 00:20:20,422
in this region date back over
564
00:20:20,456 --> 00:20:22,958
14,000 years.
565
00:20:22,992 --> 00:20:24,592
Here can be found numerous
566
00:20:24,627 --> 00:20:26,961
ancient artifacts, and among
567
00:20:26,996 --> 00:20:30,364
them is this one: The figure of
568
00:20:30,432 --> 00:20:32,933
a man lying inside what appears
569
00:20:32,967 --> 00:20:35,636
to be the shell of a turtle.
570
00:20:35,670 --> 00:20:36,971
Tsoukalos: And when I asked
571
00:20:37,005 --> 00:20:39,440
the local archaeologist there,
572
00:20:39,474 --> 00:20:42,343
"what is this?" They said,
573
00:20:42,378 --> 00:20:43,845
without the flinching of an eye,
574
00:20:43,879 --> 00:20:45,714
"well, this is, according to"
575
00:20:45,782 --> 00:20:50,453
legend, the giant flying turtles
576
00:20:50,487 --> 00:20:54,458
"which flew around in Guatemala."
577
00:20:54,459 --> 00:20:56,560
The entire body is
578
00:20:56,627 --> 00:20:59,328
aerodynamically fashioned.
579
00:20:59,363 --> 00:21:01,797
The extremities are pressed in
580
00:21:01,832 --> 00:21:04,333
an aerodynamic fashion against
581
00:21:04,367 --> 00:21:07,402
the body of this turtle.
582
00:21:07,470 --> 00:21:10,971
And if you look closely, it's
583
00:21:11,006 --> 00:21:12,473
as if there's some modern day
584
00:21:12,507 --> 00:21:14,474
fighter pilot glasses or
585
00:21:14,509 --> 00:21:16,476
goggles.
586
00:21:18,847 --> 00:21:20,848
This right here is from the
587
00:21:20,882 --> 00:21:22,482
same culture, from the same
588
00:21:22,517 --> 00:21:25,385
region where they created the
589
00:21:25,420 --> 00:21:26,687
turtle in Clay.
590
00:21:26,721 --> 00:21:28,655
So they knew exactly what a
591
00:21:28,690 --> 00:21:29,823
turtle looked like.
592
00:21:29,858 --> 00:21:32,660
It looks like a snapping turtle.
593
00:21:32,694 --> 00:21:35,830
And what we have here... that is
594
00:21:35,865 --> 00:21:38,333
everything but a turtle.
595
00:21:38,367 --> 00:21:41,669
It's something else.
596
00:21:41,704 --> 00:21:43,772
In their frame of reference,
597
00:21:43,839 --> 00:21:45,507
they were able to use the
598
00:21:45,541 --> 00:21:48,876
turtle as the best example of
599
00:21:48,911 --> 00:21:51,012
what they might have seen that
600
00:21:51,046 --> 00:21:54,381
the gods used to fly around in.
601
00:21:57,386 --> 00:21:58,353
Narrator: Halfway around the
602
00:21:58,387 --> 00:22:01,523
world, in 329 b.C., the Greek
603
00:22:01,558 --> 00:22:03,593
ruler Alexander the great
604
00:22:03,627 --> 00:22:06,596
planned the invasion of India.
605
00:22:06,630 --> 00:22:08,598
But according to ancient texts,
606
00:22:08,633 --> 00:22:10,367
his army was supposedly
607
00:22:10,401 --> 00:22:12,436
thwarted by a strange attack
608
00:22:12,470 --> 00:22:14,371
from the skies.
609
00:22:14,406 --> 00:22:15,706
Childress: As Alexander's
610
00:22:15,740 --> 00:22:17,708
army was getting ready to cross
611
00:22:17,742 --> 00:22:19,610
the indus and invade India,
612
00:22:19,644 --> 00:22:22,380
suddenly in the sky appeared
613
00:22:22,414 --> 00:22:25,450
these flying discs.
614
00:22:25,484 --> 00:22:28,719
And they began dive-bombing at
615
00:22:28,754 --> 00:22:31,722
the war elephants that were
616
00:22:31,756 --> 00:22:33,724
part of Alexander's army.
617
00:22:33,758 --> 00:22:36,626
And what these flying discs did
618
00:22:36,660 --> 00:22:39,661
was cause stampedes within
619
00:22:39,729 --> 00:22:42,664
Alexander's own war elephants,
620
00:22:42,731 --> 00:22:44,332
who then ran amok throughout
621
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,634
his army, tearing up the camps
622
00:22:46,668 --> 00:22:47,635
and everything.
623
00:22:47,669 --> 00:22:50,304
And after that, Alexander's
624
00:22:50,338 --> 00:22:51,838
generals met with him, and they
625
00:22:51,906 --> 00:22:55,576
said, "no, we're not going into
626
00:22:55,610 --> 00:22:56,310
India.
627
00:22:56,344 --> 00:22:57,610
This is it.
628
00:22:57,645 --> 00:22:58,745
"We're gonna turn back."
629
00:22:58,779 --> 00:23:00,747
And that was the end of that war
630
00:23:00,781 --> 00:23:02,581
campaign.
631
00:23:02,616 --> 00:23:03,516
Narrator: But whether in
632
00:23:03,584 --> 00:23:04,950
ancient times or much more
633
00:23:04,985 --> 00:23:07,352
recently, so-called flying
634
00:23:07,420 --> 00:23:09,354
saucers are often described as
635
00:23:09,422 --> 00:23:11,323
being unaffected by gravity or
636
00:23:11,357 --> 00:23:13,324
the basic laws of physics.
637
00:23:13,325 --> 00:23:14,758
Steven greer: You know, I
638
00:23:14,793 --> 00:23:16,526
know that people who have, who
639
00:23:16,594 --> 00:23:17,928
have seen, uh, extraterrestrial
640
00:23:17,962 --> 00:23:19,762
vehicles in modern times have
641
00:23:19,796 --> 00:23:21,497
said, "how in the world could it
642
00:23:21,531 --> 00:23:22,831
be doing that?"
643
00:23:22,832 --> 00:23:24,666
For example, it's moving
644
00:23:24,700 --> 00:23:26,668
through the sky, and it's going
645
00:23:26,702 --> 00:23:28,769
20,000 Miles per hour, and makes
646
00:23:28,804 --> 00:23:29,804
a right-hand turn without
647
00:23:29,838 --> 00:23:31,805
decelerating... that isn't
648
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,374
possible using normal
649
00:23:34,442 --> 00:23:37,311
aerodynamics.
650
00:23:37,345 --> 00:23:39,312
Childress: When jets have
651
00:23:39,347 --> 00:23:41,348
been scrambled after flying
652
00:23:41,381 --> 00:23:42,781
saucers, the saucers are
653
00:23:42,816 --> 00:23:44,717
described as suddenly turning
654
00:23:44,785 --> 00:23:47,286
at right angles at super speeds
655
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,488
and just zipping off in what
656
00:23:49,522 --> 00:23:52,457
seems like impossible aerobatic
657
00:23:52,491 --> 00:23:53,792
maneuvers.
658
00:23:53,826 --> 00:23:55,794
And this can be explained as
659
00:23:55,828 --> 00:23:57,962
the kind of technology they're
660
00:23:57,997 --> 00:24:00,498
using which is a gravity
661
00:24:00,532 --> 00:24:02,666
control.
662
00:24:02,701 --> 00:24:05,302
It's artificial gravity.
663
00:24:05,337 --> 00:24:07,471
So when you're inside of a
664
00:24:07,505 --> 00:24:08,805
gravitational field that you're
665
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,308
creating yourself around your
666
00:24:11,342 --> 00:24:14,644
craft, the gravity of the earth
667
00:24:14,678 --> 00:24:17,246
doesn't have a force on you.
668
00:24:19,316 --> 00:24:20,249
Narrator: But although
669
00:24:20,317 --> 00:24:22,250
aircraft propulsion by means of
670
00:24:22,318 --> 00:24:24,386
gravity manipulation is beyond
671
00:24:24,421 --> 00:24:25,554
the limits of current
672
00:24:25,588 --> 00:24:27,924
technology, many scientists
673
00:24:27,991 --> 00:24:30,259
claim it is theoretically
674
00:24:30,327 --> 00:24:32,261
possible.
675
00:24:34,998 --> 00:24:36,732
In Davis, California,
676
00:24:36,766 --> 00:24:38,734
Canadian-born inventor Dr.
677
00:24:38,768 --> 00:24:40,668
Paul Moller tests the
678
00:24:40,703 --> 00:24:42,837
boundaries of real-life science
679
00:24:42,871 --> 00:24:44,505
with a recreational flying
680
00:24:44,540 --> 00:24:47,341
vehicle called the Neuera.
681
00:24:51,012 --> 00:24:53,280
Moller: The Neuera is a very
682
00:24:53,348 --> 00:24:55,716
simple device to fly.
683
00:24:57,618 --> 00:25:00,854
It has eight lifting ducted
684
00:25:00,889 --> 00:25:03,523
fans, as we call them, each one
685
00:25:03,558 --> 00:25:06,893
driven by its own engine.
686
00:25:06,894 --> 00:25:08,928
One of the big advantages of
687
00:25:08,962 --> 00:25:10,796
this kind of round shape is
688
00:25:10,864 --> 00:25:12,631
that you end up with the
689
00:25:12,699 --> 00:25:14,466
strength in the skin of the
690
00:25:14,534 --> 00:25:15,900
vehicle itself, much like the
691
00:25:15,935 --> 00:25:17,468
shell of a beetle.
692
00:25:17,536 --> 00:25:19,236
And that gets you a very, very
693
00:25:19,271 --> 00:25:19,703
strong design.
694
00:25:19,738 --> 00:25:21,272
This... air frames you see over
695
00:25:21,306 --> 00:25:22,539
here next to this vehicle which
696
00:25:22,573 --> 00:25:24,241
are similar to this, weigh only
697
00:25:24,275 --> 00:25:25,575
75 pounds apiece, which is
698
00:25:25,609 --> 00:25:26,543
incredible.
699
00:25:26,577 --> 00:25:27,710
You get a complete airframe
700
00:25:27,744 --> 00:25:29,712
that's capable of lifting 1,500
701
00:25:29,746 --> 00:25:33,716
pounds with a 75-pound shell.
702
00:25:33,717 --> 00:25:35,250
Narrator: But could the
703
00:25:35,285 --> 00:25:36,719
inherent design strength of a
704
00:25:36,754 --> 00:25:39,388
disc-shaped object be the key
705
00:25:39,423 --> 00:25:40,924
to overcoming the forces of
706
00:25:40,958 --> 00:25:42,592
gravity?
707
00:25:42,626 --> 00:25:44,394
And does the prevalence of
708
00:25:44,429 --> 00:25:46,564
flying saucer sightings suggest
709
00:25:46,598 --> 00:25:48,266
a connection between
710
00:25:48,300 --> 00:25:50,434
antigravity technology and
711
00:25:50,469 --> 00:25:53,772
extraterrestrial visitations?
712
00:25:53,806 --> 00:25:54,906
Moller: Gravity is one of
713
00:25:54,941 --> 00:25:56,341
the most unknown forces in
714
00:25:56,408 --> 00:25:58,475
physics today, and when we do
715
00:25:58,510 --> 00:26:00,310
understand it, we'll be able to
716
00:26:00,345 --> 00:26:01,745
find out a way to shield
717
00:26:01,779 --> 00:26:03,613
ourselves from it or to
718
00:26:03,647 --> 00:26:05,448
provide a device, a method,
719
00:26:05,482 --> 00:26:07,950
electromagnetically, but with
720
00:26:07,984 --> 00:26:09,585
some much greater knowledge
721
00:26:09,619 --> 00:26:10,786
than we have today, where we
722
00:26:10,821 --> 00:26:11,854
eliminate it within the
723
00:26:11,922 --> 00:26:14,790
vehicles' operations.
724
00:26:14,824 --> 00:26:16,258
Narrator: Although
725
00:26:16,292 --> 00:26:17,426
antigravity devices in the
726
00:26:17,460 --> 00:26:19,428
form of flying saucers may help
727
00:26:19,462 --> 00:26:20,462
to explain how
728
00:26:20,497 --> 00:26:21,764
extraterrestrials might have
729
00:26:21,798 --> 00:26:23,431
been able to travel at
730
00:26:23,466 --> 00:26:26,435
ultrahigh speeds, there is in
731
00:26:26,469 --> 00:26:27,803
fact another means of
732
00:26:27,837 --> 00:26:29,838
interplanetary transportation.
733
00:26:29,873 --> 00:26:31,674
And it is one that humans, and
734
00:26:31,708 --> 00:26:33,776
perhaps aliens, have been able
735
00:26:33,810 --> 00:26:36,545
to use for centuries: The brute
736
00:26:36,613 --> 00:26:39,282
force of rockets.
737
00:26:44,133 --> 00:26:47,002
The Kennedy space center.
738
00:26:47,036 --> 00:26:49,605
Six earth astronauts sit atop
739
00:26:49,639 --> 00:26:51,607
NASA's endeavor space shuttle
740
00:26:51,641 --> 00:26:53,909
headed for orbit.
741
00:26:53,943 --> 00:26:56,178
After countdown, three main
742
00:26:56,212 --> 00:26:57,979
engines, together with two
743
00:26:58,013 --> 00:27:00,148
solid rocket boosters, provide
744
00:27:00,182 --> 00:27:01,916
the thrust to lift the orbiter
745
00:27:01,950 --> 00:27:05,251
off the ground for its ascent.
746
00:27:05,285 --> 00:27:07,019
And liftoff of shuttle
747
00:27:07,054 --> 00:27:09,020
endeavor.
748
00:27:13,058 --> 00:27:14,124
>> Tsoukalos: I urge everyone
749
00:27:14,159 --> 00:27:15,625
to be part one day of a
750
00:27:15,693 --> 00:27:17,627
rocket launch, because it is a
751
00:27:17,662 --> 00:27:19,663
life-altering moment.
752
00:27:19,664 --> 00:27:21,131
When you stand there, a few
753
00:27:21,165 --> 00:27:24,167
Miles away, you can still feel
754
00:27:24,202 --> 00:27:26,837
the power as that rocket takes
755
00:27:26,871 --> 00:27:29,640
off into space.
756
00:27:29,675 --> 00:27:31,642
A grumbling in your stomach,
757
00:27:31,677 --> 00:27:32,943
the vibrations, and you can
758
00:27:32,978 --> 00:27:34,211
hear the noise.
759
00:27:34,246 --> 00:27:36,714
And it's a truly magnificent
760
00:27:36,748 --> 00:27:40,183
sight and awe-inspiring.
761
00:27:40,251 --> 00:27:41,651
>> Narrator: But are manned
762
00:27:41,685 --> 00:27:43,219
space flights really a recent
763
00:27:43,253 --> 00:27:45,053
phenomenon?
764
00:27:45,088 --> 00:27:47,722
Or could our ancient ancestors
765
00:27:47,756 --> 00:27:52,025
have witnessed similar events?
766
00:27:52,059 --> 00:27:53,793
>> Noory: There is no doubt
767
00:27:53,827 --> 00:27:55,060
that if we thoroughly
768
00:27:55,095 --> 00:27:57,028
investigate this planet, they
769
00:27:57,063 --> 00:27:59,665
will find that this planet may
770
00:27:59,699 --> 00:28:01,000
have already been to the moon
771
00:28:01,034 --> 00:28:03,235
way before we went to the moon
772
00:28:03,269 --> 00:28:07,005
with a man in 1969.
773
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:08,240
>> Tsoukalos: The interesting
774
00:28:08,274 --> 00:28:10,743
thing is that we have the exact
775
00:28:10,777 --> 00:28:13,179
same descriptions in ancient
776
00:28:13,213 --> 00:28:14,914
texts and also in oral
777
00:28:14,948 --> 00:28:17,750
traditions, where whenever
778
00:28:17,785 --> 00:28:20,085
those quote, unquote "gods"
779
00:28:20,120 --> 00:28:21,920
appeared, there was a lot of
780
00:28:21,955 --> 00:28:24,890
smoke, a lot of fire, a lot of
781
00:28:24,924 --> 00:28:27,592
noise, and the trembling of the
782
00:28:27,627 --> 00:28:29,194
ground.
783
00:28:29,228 --> 00:28:30,829
>> Childress: When rockets are
784
00:28:30,863 --> 00:28:32,997
taking off, it's best to stand
785
00:28:33,031 --> 00:28:35,932
back and get out of the way.
786
00:28:35,967 --> 00:28:37,200
And that's a lot of what the
787
00:28:37,235 --> 00:28:39,001
ancient legends are about, too.
788
00:28:39,036 --> 00:28:41,104
When the gods came and went, it
789
00:28:41,138 --> 00:28:42,872
may well have been just these
790
00:28:42,906 --> 00:28:44,941
rockets or other aerospace
791
00:28:44,975 --> 00:28:46,776
vehicles landing and taking off
792
00:28:46,810 --> 00:28:48,277
and making a lot of smoke and
793
00:28:48,311 --> 00:28:50,879
noise.
794
00:28:50,913 --> 00:28:52,047
>> Narrator: But could early
795
00:28:52,081 --> 00:28:54,048
man really have had knowledge
796
00:28:54,083 --> 00:28:58,018
of rocket technology?
797
00:28:58,052 --> 00:28:59,953
To make their case, ancient
798
00:28:59,987 --> 00:29:01,955
astronaut theorists point to
799
00:29:01,989 --> 00:29:03,189
numerous and consistent
800
00:29:03,224 --> 00:29:05,091
descriptions of rockets found
801
00:29:05,125 --> 00:29:06,726
throughout many cultures of the
802
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:07,793
ancient world.
803
00:29:07,828 --> 00:29:08,794
>> Greer: When you're dealing
804
00:29:08,829 --> 00:29:09,962
with this subject and you look
805
00:29:09,996 --> 00:29:11,630
at the ancient literature, you
806
00:29:11,664 --> 00:29:13,131
have to look at it through the
807
00:29:13,166 --> 00:29:15,099
lens of how is it being
808
00:29:15,134 --> 00:29:18,269
experienced by a civilization
809
00:29:18,303 --> 00:29:19,737
with no foundation for
810
00:29:19,771 --> 00:29:20,971
understanding the science, the
811
00:29:21,006 --> 00:29:22,173
technology.
812
00:29:22,174 --> 00:29:23,307
And so I think, in ancient
813
00:29:23,341 --> 00:29:24,741
times, there were people who had
814
00:29:24,775 --> 00:29:25,809
encounters.
815
00:29:25,843 --> 00:29:27,277
However, I think the way they
816
00:29:27,311 --> 00:29:28,645
might have been reported
817
00:29:28,679 --> 00:29:30,979
would've been in metaphors, in
818
00:29:31,014 --> 00:29:32,114
ways that would have made sense
819
00:29:32,148 --> 00:29:35,316
to them.
820
00:29:35,351 --> 00:29:37,051
>> Childress: In China, you have
821
00:29:37,086 --> 00:29:39,987
these stories of dragons flying
822
00:29:40,021 --> 00:29:42,221
through the air.
823
00:29:42,256 --> 00:29:44,089
They make a lot of noise and
824
00:29:44,124 --> 00:29:45,991
smoke comes out of them and
825
00:29:46,025 --> 00:29:48,793
fire, just like a rocket.
826
00:29:50,862 --> 00:29:52,229
>> Tsoukalos: The first emperor
827
00:29:52,263 --> 00:29:54,997
of China descended in a fiery
828
00:29:55,032 --> 00:29:58,801
dragon, with smoke and fire, and
829
00:29:58,835 --> 00:30:01,002
whenever that dragon appeared,
830
00:30:01,037 --> 00:30:03,004
the earth was quaking and
831
00:30:03,039 --> 00:30:05,740
everyone was afraid and-and
832
00:30:05,775 --> 00:30:07,975
threw themselves to the ground.
833
00:30:08,010 --> 00:30:09,844
Now, of course it wasn't a
834
00:30:09,878 --> 00:30:12,312
dragon in a biological nature,
835
00:30:12,346 --> 00:30:14,013
a living being.
836
00:30:14,048 --> 00:30:15,682
But it was a misinterpreted
837
00:30:15,716 --> 00:30:18,185
machine.
838
00:30:20,689 --> 00:30:21,922
>> Bara: If you look at the
839
00:30:21,957 --> 00:30:23,658
Greek gods, they were all
840
00:30:23,692 --> 00:30:24,959
described as flying in on
841
00:30:24,993 --> 00:30:26,894
chariots of fire.
842
00:30:26,895 --> 00:30:28,697
Well, a chariot of fire, to me,
843
00:30:28,731 --> 00:30:30,202
seems very clearly like it's
844
00:30:30,237 --> 00:30:32,004
some sort of rocket, probably
845
00:30:32,038 --> 00:30:34,673
burning its retros as it lands
846
00:30:34,707 --> 00:30:37,709
somewhere in ancient Greece.
847
00:30:37,710 --> 00:30:39,044
>> Tsoukalos: In the old
848
00:30:39,078 --> 00:30:41,780
testament, we can read about a
849
00:30:41,814 --> 00:30:45,016
glowing furnace that descended
850
00:30:45,050 --> 00:30:46,183
from the sky.
851
00:30:46,218 --> 00:30:47,284
And sometimes this glowing
852
00:30:47,319 --> 00:30:49,219
furnace is described as a
853
00:30:49,254 --> 00:30:53,056
chariot of fire or as the glory
854
00:30:53,090 --> 00:30:54,824
of the lord.
855
00:30:54,859 --> 00:30:56,693
So there are all these different
856
00:30:56,727 --> 00:30:58,228
descriptions, which in the
857
00:30:58,262 --> 00:31:00,697
ancient astronaut opinion
858
00:31:00,731 --> 00:31:03,634
describe ancient rocketry.
859
00:31:05,670 --> 00:31:07,638
>> Narrator: From 5000 to 2000
860
00:31:07,673 --> 00:31:11,075
b. C., Southern mesopotamia was
861
00:31:11,110 --> 00:31:13,912
home to the sumerians, a highly
862
00:31:13,946 --> 00:31:15,146
advanced civilization
863
00:31:15,181 --> 00:31:16,648
considered to be among the
864
00:31:16,682 --> 00:31:18,750
first astronomers.
865
00:31:18,784 --> 00:31:20,818
Regarded as one of the oldest
866
00:31:20,853 --> 00:31:22,987
written stories in history, the
867
00:31:23,021 --> 00:31:25,656
epic of gilgamesh told of a
868
00:31:25,691 --> 00:31:27,891
man's journey to the heavens to
869
00:31:27,926 --> 00:31:29,892
meet the God Anu.
870
00:31:29,927 --> 00:31:30,893
Erich Von Daniken: The
871
00:31:30,928 --> 00:31:32,995
gilgamesh epic, which goes back
872
00:31:33,030 --> 00:31:35,664
to the sumerian, that's a piece
873
00:31:35,699 --> 00:31:38,668
where the hero, gilgamesh, flies
874
00:31:38,702 --> 00:31:40,804
over the earth.
875
00:31:40,805 --> 00:31:42,205
And he describes how the earth
876
00:31:42,239 --> 00:31:44,041
looks from above. Fascinating.
877
00:31:44,075 --> 00:31:45,109
An old story of the first
878
00:31:45,143 --> 00:31:46,777
flight.
879
00:31:46,812 --> 00:31:47,678
Martell: The most ancient
880
00:31:47,713 --> 00:31:48,779
civilization that we have on
881
00:31:48,814 --> 00:31:50,248
record, the sumerian culture,
882
00:31:50,283 --> 00:31:52,184
has left us evidence of what's
883
00:31:52,218 --> 00:31:54,019
called a Shem.
884
00:31:54,053 --> 00:31:55,754
And this object looks very
885
00:31:55,788 --> 00:31:57,589
similar to a modern-day space
886
00:31:57,623 --> 00:31:59,657
capsule that we place on top of
887
00:31:59,692 --> 00:32:02,026
a rocket.
888
00:32:02,061 --> 00:32:04,028
And this Shem is where priests
889
00:32:04,063 --> 00:32:05,897
would go into the Shem to
890
00:32:05,931 --> 00:32:07,598
interact with the gods, or
891
00:32:07,633 --> 00:32:09,600
anytime man was ascending or
892
00:32:09,634 --> 00:32:10,934
descending into heaven.
893
00:32:10,968 --> 00:32:12,902
So it's a very interesting term
894
00:32:12,937 --> 00:32:14,604
used from a culture dating back
895
00:32:14,638 --> 00:32:17,906
to 3800 b.C. And very clearly
896
00:32:17,941 --> 00:32:19,208
matches the descriptions of a
897
00:32:19,242 --> 00:32:21,944
modern-day rocket.
898
00:32:21,945 --> 00:32:23,612
Narrator: Could early man
899
00:32:23,646 --> 00:32:25,113
have actually possessed a
900
00:32:25,147 --> 00:32:26,848
surprisingly sophisticated
901
00:32:26,883 --> 00:32:28,717
understanding of what we now
902
00:32:28,752 --> 00:32:31,253
call rocket propulsion?
903
00:32:35,792 --> 00:32:37,793
In the first century a.D.,
904
00:32:37,828 --> 00:32:39,796
nearly 2,000 years before the
905
00:32:39,830 --> 00:32:42,298
industrial revolution, a Greek
906
00:32:42,332 --> 00:32:44,033
mathematician and engineer
907
00:32:44,068 --> 00:32:46,269
named hero created a
908
00:32:46,303 --> 00:32:48,104
steam-powered engine he called
909
00:32:48,139 --> 00:32:50,206
an Aeolipile.
910
00:32:50,241 --> 00:32:51,140
Childress: One of the great
911
00:32:51,175 --> 00:32:52,976
inventors of the ancient world
912
00:32:53,010 --> 00:32:55,145
was the famous hero of
913
00:32:55,180 --> 00:32:56,246
Alexandria.
914
00:32:56,281 --> 00:32:57,982
He invented all kinds of stuff.
915
00:32:58,016 --> 00:32:59,984
He actually invented what we
916
00:33:00,019 --> 00:33:02,120
would describe as a rocket-type
917
00:33:02,154 --> 00:33:04,757
motor.
918
00:33:04,791 --> 00:33:06,159
And really, something like this
919
00:33:06,193 --> 00:33:08,261
is the beginnings of rocket
920
00:33:08,295 --> 00:33:09,896
technology.
921
00:33:09,930 --> 00:33:11,965
And we don't know where hero got
922
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,834
many of his ideas, but it may
923
00:33:13,868 --> 00:33:16,070
well have come from aliens.
924
00:33:20,042 --> 00:33:21,675
Narrator: John Robert
925
00:33:21,710 --> 00:33:23,610
Tindall, founder of Tindall
926
00:33:23,645 --> 00:33:24,912
vision laboratories,
927
00:33:24,946 --> 00:33:26,279
demonstrates a small-scale
928
00:33:26,314 --> 00:33:28,715
replica of hero's Aeolipile.
929
00:33:28,716 --> 00:33:29,682
Tindall: Now, a conventional
930
00:33:29,717 --> 00:33:31,183
steam engine that we think of
931
00:33:31,218 --> 00:33:33,185
has pistons that get its power,
932
00:33:33,219 --> 00:33:37,022
but Aeolipile uses these
933
00:33:37,056 --> 00:33:39,658
opposing jets, so it's creating
934
00:33:39,693 --> 00:33:40,793
thrust.
935
00:33:40,794 --> 00:33:42,628
And rather than a thrust in...
936
00:33:42,663 --> 00:33:43,630
Like, a rocket would use it in
937
00:33:43,664 --> 00:33:44,631
a linear fashion,
938
00:33:44,665 --> 00:33:45,632
this is causing a rotational
939
00:33:45,667 --> 00:33:47,935
effect, and there's your steam
940
00:33:47,969 --> 00:33:49,837
turbine, really, working off of
941
00:33:49,871 --> 00:33:50,605
thrust.
942
00:33:50,639 --> 00:33:51,773
Now this is operating much as
943
00:33:51,807 --> 00:33:54,876
it did in the first century a.D.
944
00:33:54,910 --> 00:33:56,811
This is generally considered to
945
00:33:56,846 --> 00:33:58,546
be the first working steam
946
00:33:58,581 --> 00:33:59,013
engine.
947
00:33:59,048 --> 00:34:00,715
It works more like a turbine
948
00:34:00,749 --> 00:34:01,883
than a classic steam engine
949
00:34:01,917 --> 00:34:03,151
with pistons, but it's very
950
00:34:03,185 --> 00:34:04,952
significant because it really
951
00:34:04,986 --> 00:34:07,721
is taking... whoa!... A compressed
952
00:34:07,756 --> 00:34:10,557
gas (Chuckles) And turning it
953
00:34:10,592 --> 00:34:11,225
into energy.
954
00:34:11,259 --> 00:34:12,559
Wow!
955
00:34:12,594 --> 00:34:15,061
That has a lot of energy, steam.
956
00:34:18,165 --> 00:34:19,232
Narrator: The name for
957
00:34:19,266 --> 00:34:20,901
hero's steam rocket engine,
958
00:34:20,935 --> 00:34:23,570
"Aeolipile," translates to "the
959
00:34:23,605 --> 00:34:25,572
ball of aeolus."
960
00:34:25,607 --> 00:34:27,908
In Greek mythology, aeolus was
961
00:34:27,943 --> 00:34:30,644
the God of the winds.
962
00:34:30,678 --> 00:34:33,014
Is it possible that hero drew
963
00:34:33,048 --> 00:34:34,916
inspiration for his invention
964
00:34:34,951 --> 00:34:37,052
from the stories of the gods,
965
00:34:37,086 --> 00:34:38,687
such as those found in homer's
966
00:34:38,721 --> 00:34:41,691
the odyssey?
967
00:34:41,725 --> 00:34:44,828
Or might he have had help from
968
00:34:44,863 --> 00:34:46,597
the gods themselves?
969
00:34:46,631 --> 00:34:47,198
>> Tsoukalos: Some have
970
00:34:47,232 --> 00:34:48,700
suggested that it was alien
971
00:34:48,734 --> 00:34:50,102
intervention, that aliens
972
00:34:50,136 --> 00:34:52,004
taught him how to build this
973
00:34:52,038 --> 00:34:53,605
machine.
974
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,741
However, I'm leaning more
975
00:34:55,776 --> 00:34:58,244
towards the idea that he looked
976
00:34:58,278 --> 00:35:01,047
at older texts from previous
977
00:35:01,081 --> 00:35:04,217
generations and that the source
978
00:35:04,251 --> 00:35:07,120
of the idea of how to build
979
00:35:07,154 --> 00:35:09,122
this did come from
980
00:35:09,156 --> 00:35:11,791
extraterrestrials, but from way
981
00:35:11,826 --> 00:35:14,060
before he was alive, and he
982
00:35:14,095 --> 00:35:17,230
just came across those texts.
983
00:35:17,265 --> 00:35:18,965
>> Narrator: But do the
984
00:35:18,999 --> 00:35:20,033
descriptions of rockets and
985
00:35:20,067 --> 00:35:22,268
otherworldly devices found in
986
00:35:22,302 --> 00:35:24,604
ancient texts and legends
987
00:35:24,638 --> 00:35:26,606
provide evidence of
988
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,608
extraterrestrial encounters in
989
00:35:28,642 --> 00:35:31,144
the distant past?
990
00:35:31,178 --> 00:35:32,245
Perhaps the answer
991
00:35:32,279 --> 00:35:33,613
will be discovered in an
992
00:35:33,647 --> 00:35:36,649
unlikely place... in the hands
993
00:35:36,683 --> 00:35:38,950
of the U.S. military.
994
00:35:45,738 --> 00:35:47,571
May 2010.
Off coast of California.
995
00:35:47,606 --> 00:35:50,141
A powerful new weapon shoots
996
00:35:50,175 --> 00:35:52,309
down unmanned aerial drones
997
00:35:52,344 --> 00:35:53,711
during secret testing carried
998
00:35:53,746 --> 00:35:56,247
out by the U.S. Navy.
999
00:35:56,281 --> 00:35:59,583
Firing from a warship at a
1000
00:35:59,618 --> 00:36:01,619
distance of nearly two Miles,
1001
00:36:01,653 --> 00:36:03,754
a ray of intense laser energy
1002
00:36:03,789 --> 00:36:05,622
burns through targets traveling
1003
00:36:05,657 --> 00:36:07,557
at speeds of more than 300
1004
00:36:07,591 --> 00:36:10,227
Miles per hour.
1005
00:36:10,261 --> 00:36:12,529
But is it possible that such
1006
00:36:12,563 --> 00:36:14,798
so-called "death rays" could
1007
00:36:14,832 --> 00:36:16,600
have been used before?
1008
00:36:16,634 --> 00:36:19,669
Perhaps in ancient times?
1009
00:36:19,670 --> 00:36:21,237
Greer: I'm quite convinced
1010
00:36:21,271 --> 00:36:23,306
that there have been in the past
1011
00:36:23,340 --> 00:36:25,407
advanced civilizations on earth
1012
00:36:25,441 --> 00:36:26,708
that did have such things as
1013
00:36:26,743 --> 00:36:29,578
the so-called death ray.
1014
00:36:29,579 --> 00:36:31,212
Whether it was used as a
1015
00:36:31,247 --> 00:36:32,548
weapon, or whether it was just
1016
00:36:32,582 --> 00:36:34,817
observed being used is a very,
1017
00:36:34,851 --> 00:36:37,153
very open question.
1018
00:36:37,187 --> 00:36:40,723
Narrator: In 214 b.C., greeks
1019
00:36:40,758 --> 00:36:43,160
living in the sicilian city of
1020
00:36:43,194 --> 00:36:45,729
Syracuse prepared for an attack
1021
00:36:45,764 --> 00:36:48,499
by a fleet of Roman warships.
1022
00:36:48,534 --> 00:36:50,168
Though outnumbered by a
1023
00:36:50,202 --> 00:36:51,802
superior military force,
1024
00:36:51,837 --> 00:36:54,171
ancient texts suggest that
1025
00:36:54,205 --> 00:36:56,473
Syracuse was well-defended by a
1026
00:36:56,508 --> 00:36:58,809
mysterious and powerful new
1027
00:36:58,843 --> 00:37:01,712
weapon.
1028
00:37:01,713 --> 00:37:02,613
Childress: Probably the most
1029
00:37:02,647 --> 00:37:05,415
famous ancient death ray was
1030
00:37:05,450 --> 00:37:07,184
the one that was built by the
1031
00:37:07,218 --> 00:37:09,553
Greek inventor Archimedes.
1032
00:37:09,554 --> 00:37:11,188
He was able to create this
1033
00:37:11,222 --> 00:37:15,492
giant mirror and parabolic disc,
1034
00:37:15,527 --> 00:37:18,696
and focus the sun's rays on the
1035
00:37:18,730 --> 00:37:20,498
fleet and set these ships
1036
00:37:20,533 --> 00:37:23,435
on fire.
1037
00:37:23,469 --> 00:37:25,437
So here we have what would be a
1038
00:37:25,472 --> 00:37:28,140
primitive kind of death ray
1039
00:37:28,175 --> 00:37:30,443
that really worked.
1040
00:37:32,213 --> 00:37:33,613
Narrator: But how could
1041
00:37:33,647 --> 00:37:35,614
Archimedes have conceived such
1042
00:37:35,649 --> 00:37:37,550
a formidable weapon?
1043
00:37:37,584 --> 00:37:39,385
One far in advance of any
1044
00:37:39,419 --> 00:37:41,687
known at the time?
1045
00:37:41,721 --> 00:37:43,689
Researchers suggest the
1046
00:37:43,723 --> 00:37:45,324
inventor may have drawn
1047
00:37:45,358 --> 00:37:47,193
inspiration from Greek myths
1048
00:37:47,227 --> 00:37:49,228
written nearly 600 years before
1049
00:37:49,262 --> 00:37:51,796
the battle of Syracuse.
1050
00:37:51,831 --> 00:37:54,332
Myths that told the stories of
1051
00:37:54,367 --> 00:37:55,567
gods that brandished cosmic
1052
00:37:55,602 --> 00:37:57,569
weapons of incredible
1053
00:37:57,604 --> 00:38:00,772
destructive force.
1054
00:38:00,773 --> 00:38:02,608
Wilcock if you look in the
1055
00:38:02,642 --> 00:38:04,610
Greek tradition they have a
1056
00:38:04,644 --> 00:38:06,378
very clear description of Zeus'
1057
00:38:06,413 --> 00:38:09,281
thunderbolt, which he was able
1058
00:38:09,315 --> 00:38:11,283
to point at people or at other
1059
00:38:11,317 --> 00:38:13,218
things that he wanted to
1060
00:38:13,253 --> 00:38:15,387
explode, hit the button, and
1061
00:38:15,421 --> 00:38:16,788
what they described as
1062
00:38:16,822 --> 00:38:18,223
lightning would come out and
1063
00:38:18,257 --> 00:38:19,457
create a fierce and terrible
1064
00:38:19,492 --> 00:38:21,259
explosion.
1065
00:38:21,260 --> 00:38:22,727
Childress: When these ancient
1066
00:38:22,761 --> 00:38:24,862
gods, like Zeus, were to come
1067
00:38:24,897 --> 00:38:28,232
down from the sky in this
1068
00:38:28,267 --> 00:38:30,602
flurry of thunder and
1069
00:38:30,636 --> 00:38:31,803
lightning, and then get out of
1070
00:38:31,837 --> 00:38:33,604
their spacecraft, they were
1071
00:38:33,639 --> 00:38:36,373
perceived as gods.
1072
00:38:36,408 --> 00:38:40,411
These ancient aliens had
1073
00:38:40,445 --> 00:38:41,879
fantastic technology available
1074
00:38:41,913 --> 00:38:44,281
to them, a technology that
1075
00:38:44,315 --> 00:38:45,549
would've seemed like magic to
1076
00:38:45,584 --> 00:38:48,452
our primitive ancestors.
1077
00:38:48,486 --> 00:38:50,287
So when these people came down
1078
00:38:50,322 --> 00:38:51,656
from the sky, and they had
1079
00:38:51,690 --> 00:38:54,292
advanced energy weapons, they
1080
00:38:54,326 --> 00:38:56,394
were like gods to our ancient
1081
00:38:56,428 --> 00:38:58,263
ancestors.
1082
00:38:58,297 --> 00:38:59,330
Tsoukalos it doesn't matter
1083
00:38:59,365 --> 00:39:01,332
where you go, but the gods were
1084
00:39:01,367 --> 00:39:04,936
always able to create thunder,
1085
00:39:04,970 --> 00:39:06,838
create lightning in a
1086
00:39:06,872 --> 00:39:11,309
controlled way.
1087
00:39:11,310 --> 00:39:13,278
In ancient India we have the
1088
00:39:13,312 --> 00:39:14,579
gods holding the dorje
1089
00:39:14,614 --> 00:39:16,515
sometimes like this, and it
1090
00:39:16,549 --> 00:39:18,584
looks as if some type of a
1091
00:39:18,618 --> 00:39:19,952
directed energy beam comes
1092
00:39:19,986 --> 00:39:22,621
directly out of the front to
1093
00:39:22,655 --> 00:39:23,856
vanquish the enemy, to destroy
1094
00:39:23,890 --> 00:39:26,859
him, to incinerate him.
1095
00:39:29,462 --> 00:39:30,796
Narrator: But if death ray...
1096
00:39:30,830 --> 00:39:33,632
type weapons had been used in
1097
00:39:33,666 --> 00:39:35,200
ancient times, might there be
1098
00:39:35,234 --> 00:39:37,635
some sort of tangible proof?
1099
00:39:37,670 --> 00:39:40,806
Perhaps there is.
1100
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:42,875
Here, scattered throughout
1101
00:39:42,909 --> 00:39:44,543
the Scottish countryside, can
1102
00:39:44,577 --> 00:39:47,213
be found numerous ancient ruins.
1103
00:39:47,247 --> 00:39:49,215
Many appear to have been forts
1104
00:39:49,249 --> 00:39:51,216
or other enclosures dating
1105
00:39:51,251 --> 00:39:53,552
back thousands of years.
1106
00:39:53,586 --> 00:39:56,288
Remarkably, they also appear to
1107
00:39:56,322 --> 00:39:58,389
have been subjected to fire and
1108
00:39:58,424 --> 00:40:00,826
heat so intense it practically
1109
00:40:00,860 --> 00:40:02,861
turned the stone structures
1110
00:40:02,895 --> 00:40:04,729
into glass.
1111
00:40:04,764 --> 00:40:06,631
It's a process more
1112
00:40:06,666 --> 00:40:07,399
scientifically known as
1113
00:40:07,433 --> 00:40:10,702
"vitrification."
1114
00:40:10,736 --> 00:40:12,571
Wilcock: Here you have these
1115
00:40:12,605 --> 00:40:13,839
stone buildings in which an
1116
00:40:13,873 --> 00:40:15,574
analysis of the outside comes
1117
00:40:15,608 --> 00:40:17,743
to the conclusion that they
1118
00:40:17,778 --> 00:40:20,480
were heated to over a thousand
1119
00:40:20,514 --> 00:40:22,382
degrees celsius in temperature.
1120
00:40:22,416 --> 00:40:24,250
Conventional fire could not
1121
00:40:24,285 --> 00:40:25,419
have reached this heat.
1122
00:40:25,453 --> 00:40:27,387
You needed a sustained burn at
1123
00:40:27,422 --> 00:40:29,657
a thousand degrees celsius for a
1124
00:40:29,691 --> 00:40:30,724
long period of time.
1125
00:40:30,759 --> 00:40:33,326
Why is it that it's only these
1126
00:40:33,361 --> 00:40:35,261
forts that have this type of
1127
00:40:35,295 --> 00:40:36,896
charring where they're actually
1128
00:40:36,930 --> 00:40:38,431
glazed like pottery on
1129
00:40:38,465 --> 00:40:39,699
the outside?
1130
00:40:39,733 --> 00:40:41,601
Why is it that you don't see it
1131
00:40:41,635 --> 00:40:42,601
on the stones in the
1132
00:40:42,636 --> 00:40:43,536
surrounding area?
1133
00:40:43,570 --> 00:40:44,570
And even more interestingly, why
1134
00:40:44,604 --> 00:40:46,271
is it that so many of 'em are
1135
00:40:46,306 --> 00:40:47,372
concentrated into this one
1136
00:40:47,407 --> 00:40:48,774
little area in northern
1137
00:40:48,808 --> 00:40:49,774
Scotland?
1138
00:40:49,809 --> 00:40:51,677
I believe this is very clear
1139
00:40:51,711 --> 00:40:53,245
evidence of death rays
1140
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,248
being used.
1141
00:40:56,283 --> 00:40:58,417
Narrator: According to Celtic
1142
00:40:58,451 --> 00:41:00,520
legend, there once was a God
1143
00:41:00,554 --> 00:41:03,790
named Lugh, also known as
1144
00:41:03,825 --> 00:41:06,260
"the shining one," the sun God,
1145
00:41:06,294 --> 00:41:09,263
and the God of war.
1146
00:41:09,298 --> 00:41:12,933
Like the Greek God Zeus, Lugh
1147
00:41:12,968 --> 00:41:14,435
was said to wield a mighty
1148
00:41:14,469 --> 00:41:16,603
"magic spear" not unlike the
1149
00:41:16,638 --> 00:41:18,272
thunderbolts of his Greek
1150
00:41:18,306 --> 00:41:20,440
counterpart.
1151
00:41:20,441 --> 00:41:21,808
Young: We have many stories
1152
00:41:21,842 --> 00:41:23,276
of divinities who were powerful
1153
00:41:23,310 --> 00:41:24,810
figures who had weapons that
1154
00:41:24,845 --> 00:41:26,212
seemed extraordinary for
1155
00:41:26,279 --> 00:41:28,213
their time.
1156
00:41:28,247 --> 00:41:29,648
One was the great Celtic
1157
00:41:29,682 --> 00:41:31,216
divinity Lugh, who had a spear
1158
00:41:31,250 --> 00:41:33,218
that could spit fire and
1159
00:41:33,252 --> 00:41:34,486
lightning and do great damage.
1160
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:35,720
It was an extraordinary weapon.
1161
00:41:35,755 --> 00:41:37,389
We don't have a great deal of
1162
00:41:37,423 --> 00:41:38,657
detail about it, but it clearly
1163
00:41:38,692 --> 00:41:39,659
could dominate any situation
1164
00:41:39,693 --> 00:41:40,660
he got into.
1165
00:41:40,694 --> 00:41:41,595
Tsoukalos: When battle was
1166
00:41:41,629 --> 00:41:43,663
near, Lugh would draw out his
1167
00:41:43,698 --> 00:41:46,500
spear, and it roared, and then
1168
00:41:46,534 --> 00:41:49,470
flashes of fire came out of it,
1169
00:41:49,505 --> 00:41:53,408
and it tore through the ranks of
1170
00:41:53,442 --> 00:41:54,875
the enemy.
1171
00:41:54,876 --> 00:41:56,444
Never tired of
1172
00:41:56,478 --> 00:41:59,413
killing and slaying.
1173
00:42:01,550 --> 00:42:03,818
It was one amazing weapon.
1174
00:42:03,852 --> 00:42:07,254
I mean, how else can we explain
1175
00:42:07,289 --> 00:42:08,689
all those numerous vitrified
1176
00:42:08,724 --> 00:42:11,526
forts where the surface of the
1177
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:15,263
stone is as smooth as glass?
1178
00:42:15,298 --> 00:42:18,266
And these spots can only be
1179
00:42:18,301 --> 00:42:20,502
found in very concentrated
1180
00:42:20,537 --> 00:42:24,206
areas through northern Scotland.
1181
00:42:24,240 --> 00:42:25,641
Narrator: Is it possible that
1182
00:42:25,675 --> 00:42:27,209
what the Celtic legends are
1183
00:42:27,244 --> 00:42:30,212
describing as Lugh is, in fact,
1184
00:42:30,246 --> 00:42:32,281
an alien general or other kind
1185
00:42:32,315 --> 00:42:34,350
of extraterrestrial leader in
1186
00:42:34,384 --> 00:42:35,785
possession of a devastating
1187
00:42:35,819 --> 00:42:37,486
weapon?
1188
00:42:37,521 --> 00:42:39,222
Tsoukalos: All these
1189
00:42:39,256 --> 00:42:41,223
descriptions of sophisticated
1190
00:42:41,258 --> 00:42:43,326
weaponry sounds almost like
1191
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:44,827
science fiction.
1192
00:42:44,861 --> 00:42:46,863
But is it, really?
1193
00:42:46,897 --> 00:42:48,231
Because we have those weapons
1194
00:42:48,265 --> 00:42:49,732
today!
1195
00:42:49,766 --> 00:42:51,867
(Loud buzzing)
1196
00:42:51,902 --> 00:42:54,236
And I think it is merely
1197
00:42:54,271 --> 00:42:57,506
a reinvention of history; That
1198
00:42:57,541 --> 00:42:59,242
all the stuff that we have
1199
00:42:59,276 --> 00:43:01,544
today has been around before,
1200
00:43:01,579 --> 00:43:03,246
and that our past is not
1201
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,381
science fiction, but science
1202
00:43:05,416 --> 00:43:07,384
fact.
1203
00:43:08,886 --> 00:43:10,286
Narrator: Deadly laser
1204
00:43:10,287 --> 00:43:11,787
beams...
1205
00:43:11,788 --> 00:43:15,557
Acoustic levitation...
1206
00:43:15,591 --> 00:43:17,825
Antigravity.
1207
00:43:17,859 --> 00:43:19,827
Could these be technologies
1208
00:43:19,861 --> 00:43:21,428
that were witnessed
1209
00:43:21,462 --> 00:43:22,562
and even used by
1210
00:43:22,597 --> 00:43:25,598
ancient civilizations?
1211
00:43:25,633 --> 00:43:28,368
If so, were they conceived in
1212
00:43:28,402 --> 00:43:31,437
the minds of early man?
1213
00:43:31,472 --> 00:43:33,440
Or did they have different...
1214
00:43:33,474 --> 00:43:36,510
perhaps otherworldly... origins?
1215
00:43:36,544 --> 00:43:38,245
Might unlocking the secrets of
1216
00:43:38,279 --> 00:43:40,214
these inventions be the key to
1217
00:43:40,248 --> 00:43:44,385
discovering our ancient past?
1218
00:43:44,420 --> 00:43:46,287
Or by rediscovering lost
1219
00:43:46,322 --> 00:43:48,723
technology, might we clear the
1220
00:43:48,758 --> 00:43:51,526
path to our own future and to
1221
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,295
the limitless potential
1222
00:43:53,329 --> 00:43:54,829
of the universe beyond?
1223
00:43:54,830 --> 00:43:57,097
