Giorgio tsoukalos: An ancient figurine
Of a modern-day airplane.
A primitive statue of a man in a spacesuit.
Mysterious crystal skulls
Whose origins are entirely unknown.
For more than a decade on ancient aliens, we've traveled
The globe and investigated strange objects
Found on every continent on earth.
I'm counting down what I consider
To be the top ten alien artifacts.
Artifacts that, in my opinion,
Provide strong evidence that in the distant past,
Extraterrestrials walked among us.
♪ ♪
Ancient artifacts offer us a fascinating glimpse
Of how our ancestors lived.
And for ancient astronaut theorists like me,
Some artifacts provide critical evidence
To support the notion that extraterrestrials
Visited earth in the remote past.
One compelling example is a group of precisely-carved
Objects that are not only surrounded in controversy,
But may possess a technology far more advanced than our own.
Number ten on my countdown
Of the top alien artifacts: The crystal skulls.
Narrator: Lubaantun, belize. Central america.
Here, in the jungles of the yucatán peninsula,
Lie the ruins of an ancient pre-colombian city that
Thrived in the eighth century ad.
In 1924,
Explorer frederick albert mitchell-hedges
And his daughter anna
Discovered a human-sized skull made of clear quartz crystal.
Mitchell-hedges was told by the mayans that
His skull was over 3,600 years old.
This is fascinating, because this would pre-date
Mayan civilization.
Mitchell-hedges and his daughter
Kept the skull under lock and key
For almost four decades
Before allowing it to be studied.
Philip coppens: When it comes to the mitchell-hedges crystal skull,
It has been analyzed on a number of occasions.
Frank dorland in the 1960s did it as a private individual.
Hewlett-packard did it as well, and the british museum did
A very short analysis in 1980 as well.
So this skull has been subjected to
A number of detailed scientific analyses.
In all of those occasions, what was found was that it was
Almost impossible for a human being to make this.
Tsoukalos: The mitchell-hedges skull
Was milled or worked
In a way that went counterclockwise
To the creation of the crystal.
Crystal grows in a certain direction.
And if you don't mill or work the crystal
In that particular direction, it'll shatter.
So how was it done?
Quartz crystal is extremely hard.
And almost any object that's made out of
Carved quartz crystal would probably
Have to be created using power tools.
Narrator: Although hundreds of people have claimed to be
In possession of ancient crystal skulls,
A curious legend can be found in multiple cultures
That says there are exactly 13 crystal skulls
Located around the planet that are of otherworldly origin.
These include the synergy skull,
Discovered in the melanesian islands
Of the south pacific,
The amar skull of tibet,
The einstein skull, found in mexico,
And the mitchell-hedges skull.
Researchers suggest that not only were these 13 skulls
Constructed using advanced technology,
But that they may contain ancient knowledge,
Hidden from mankind for thousands of years.
What we know as a fact is that crystal is
Able to store information.
So what we need to ask ourselves is whether
Crystal skulls were made out of crystal
Because our ancestors wanted to put information in them.
While we might not have a means of extracting it,
I think we really require it for ourselves,
To try and make an effort to see what kind of information might
Be present within these crystal skulls.
The moment you lay eyes on a crystal skull,
You know you're looking at something extraordinary.
But the next artifact on my countdown
Could be described as a simple wooden toy.
That is, until you take a closer look, and see that
This bird-shaped object is more like a modern-day glider.
My number-nine alien artifact: The saqqara bird.
Narrator: Saqqara, egypt.
French archeologists digging at the step pyramid of king djoser
Unearth a tomb over 2,000 years old.
In it they find a small wooden model
Of what appears to be a bird lying beside a papyrus
Bearing the inscription, "I want to fly."
The artifact was later sent to the cairo museum,
Where authorities placed it alongside
Several other bird figurines.
But the saqqara bird was noticeably different.
Dr. Uwe apel: It's interesting, because on one hand,
Clearly, it should look like a bird, because it has eyes
And has a typical nose of a bird.
Uh, on the other hand, the wings are clearly not bird wings.
Dr. Algund eenboom: To the middle of the rump,
You'll see this wing a bit thicker.
In this region, the lift-up is the highest.
The whole thing becomes thinner to the end of the wings,
And those wings are modeled down.
And this is a very modern aerodynamic design.
Apel: Then the other point is birds have no rudders, because a bird
Doesn't need a rudder, because of its aerodynamic architecture.
And so there is the idea they are not representing birds,
But flying machines, or aircraft.
Narrator: Aircraft?
Could the saqqara bird reveal that
The ancient egyptians possessed the power of flight?
To find the answer, in 2006, aviation and aerodynamics
Expert simon sanderson built a scale model
Of the saqqara bird,
Five times larger than the original,
And tested its aerodynamic properties in a wind tunnel.
We're running at a constant speed, slowly increasing
The angle of attack and then measuring
The forces which it's producing.
That way we can learn about its flight characteristics.
At ten degrees, we're producing four times weight and lift.
So it actually would be flying now.
-Yeah. -That's good.
Eenboom: Tests show the saqqara bird is
A highly-developed glider.
And this is a design we use today.
Narrator: But if the saqqara bird is capable of flight,
Where would ancient egyptians have acquired such technology?
Eenboom: I think that people in ancient times
Were visited by beings coming not from this earth.
And they gave us culture and scientific technologies
To improve our life on earth,
Coming from the primitive to a higher-developed culture.
The next artifacts on my list might be microscopic in size,
But they're enormously significant.
They appear to be advanced nanotechnology,
And they were found so deep beneath the earth
That geologists estimate them
To be thousands of years old.
We're potentially looking at actual remnants
Of alien technology.
And that's why number eight on my countdown
Is the russian nanotubes.
Narrator: Eastern russia, 1991.
Geologists lead an expedition into the mineral-rich
Ural mountains in hopes of locating gold deposits.
For decades, people hiking in this area of the urals
Near the kozhim, naroda and balbany rivers,
Have reported witnessing unidentified craft
And strange anomalies in the sky.
On this occasion, however, the geological team encounters
Something unexpected not above the earth, but below it.
While excavating at depths of over 30 feet,
They discover a scattering of tiny metal coils and springs.
Paul stonehill: They discovered very unusual objects
That were tiny springs
That were always somehow curled towards the left side.
Most of them could not be seen unless you use the microscope.
Just a few were maybe a few millimeters in size.
That soil wasn't touched
For hundreds of thousands or more years.
The area where it was found was probably
Tens of kilometers around.
It's as if something exploded thousands of years ago,
And the fragments were lying all over the place.
Narrator: The metal fragments were sent to the russian academy
Of sciences in st. Petersburg for analysis.
Childress: They found thousands of these things.
They have to look at them through microscopes.
Some of them are just one ten thousandth of an inch in size.
They're all kinds of spirals and tiny machined bits.
When they look at it, they seem to be exactly like
The kind of tiny nanoparticles
And machine bits that we are creating today.
Narrator: Testing revealed that the fragments were composed
Of rare metals, and appear to have been manufactured.
But based on the depth at which they were found,
Geologists estimate they would date back
Tens of thousands of years.
So what could explain this seemingly impossible discovery?
Ancient astronaut theorists suggest clues may be found
By examining the materials that make up the nanospirals,
Like tungsten and molybdenum-- elements commonly used
In nasa spacecraft.
Molybdenum is an additive that we use to put in steel
To make steel have various properties.
And it's used in manufacturing aircraft.
Narrator: Could it be, as ancient astronaut theorists speculate,
That the nanospirals have come from
An extraterrestrial craft?
Ural mountains are a very interesting space
In the paranormal history of russia.
And I've studied a lot because there have always been
Incredible ufo sightings in the ural mountains.
So, is this a debris field from a crashed
Extraterrestrial craft in the ural mountains?
There could be crash sites all over the world
That are hundreds of thousands of years old.
Oftentimes, artifacts that support
The ancient astronaut theory
Are hiding in plain sight.
For example, there's an egyptian temple carving
That some scholars believe is a representation of a snake
And a lotus flower.
But in my opinion, what you're looking at is
The depiction of modern technology.
Number seven on my countdown of alien artifacts,
The dendera light bulb.
Narrator: Dendera, egypt.
370 miles south of the giza plateau
Stands the hathor temple.
The narrow passageways of this more than
2,000-year-old monument are lined with curious images,
And one that is of particular interest
To ancient astronaut theorists.
Tsoukalos: Underneath this structure is the so-called
Lotus flower of dendera.
And there are not just a few inside the crypt,
But they're, in fact, also on the outside wall on top.
That's something that's often not discussed.
So what are we looking at here?
Egyptology suggests that this bulb-like thing,
It essentially is the aroma of the lotus flower,
And that the snake in the middle illustrates fertility.
What's often not discussed is that
The surrounding hieroglyphics... 'cause you have monkey gods
Standing around with sharp knives.
It indicates danger, death.
And there are textual references
That say that this has something to do with a bringer of light.
Why would there be descriptions of bringers of light?
Egyptologists maintain that it actually portrays
The moment of creation.
But it definitely resembles a lightbulb or a lamp.
Here is a replica of the bulb that's shown
In the dendera reliefs in egypt.
What's interesting about this bulb is the fact that
On the wall relief, we see the bulb is actually
Plugged into what appears to be a power source.
So what we have here is a bulb, which very easily
Could have been used by the egyptians to light
The deep recesses of tombs and crypts.
Tsoukalos: How did the ancient egyptians
Light the insides of their structures?
Because some structures, not only are they deep underground,
But there's different corners, and different shafts
And corridors, sometimes on multiple levels.
And some of these places are filled with hieroglyphics.
The extraterrestrials did not let these people
Work in the dark.
Of course they provided lighting sources.
And then that was also put in stone.
Because otherwise, nobody would believe
That truth in the future.
I've read the creation stories of countless ancient cultures,
And in nearly every one of them,
The gods came down from the sky,
Usually in some type of flying craft,
Surrounded by smoke and fire.
Now, to me, these are nothing else
But extraterrestrial encounters.
And if you want further proof, just take a look
At how the ancient people of japan depicted their gods.
Number six on my alien artifacts countdown:
The dogu statues.
Narrator: On the east asian islands of japan,
Remnants of the ancient world can still be found in the midst
Of a modern, hi-tech society.
And the most incredible are not the opulent palaces and shrines,
But a collection of extremely ancient clay vessels
And figurines,
Some of which date back more than 12,000 years.
They are credited to a people called the jomon.
The earliest culture that we can identify in japan is the jomon,
Which is originally a stone age culture running roughly
From 10,000 bce to 300 bce.
It is a culture that we don't know an awful lot about,
Because they had no writing system.
All we have is artifacts.
Dominic steavu: The little that we do know about the jomon
Comes from archaeological evidence.
And one of the most representative artifacts
That is tied to the jomon is the dogu statue.
Narrator: Approximately 15,000 dogu figurines,
Resembling strange humanoid beings,
Have been found at various jomon sites in japan.
Ancient astronaut theorists suggest these figurines
Represent the kami, a group of beings
The japanese believe descended to this world
In the ancient past.
Shintoism is the primary religion of japan,
And they worship what they call the kami,
Which are these celestial beings that are able to inhabit
Basically anything, from a human being to an animal,
And even inanimate objects.
Then they also describe them as having come down
From their celestial palace in the sky.
And these figurines look like these humanoid beings
That are in some type of space suits.
Henry: There are thousands of these statuettes
That have been recovered,
And these figures have goggle-type eyes,
And they have rivets all over their body,
Indicating that they're wearing some kind of a space suit
Or technological armor.
Childress: So you have to ask yourself, were these statues
Sky beings who came and directed the japanese
To have their civilization and culture,
And that ultimately these sky gods are their ancestors?
Narrator: As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned,
The dogu figures were not inspired by the imagination,
But depict very real visitors that the people of japan
Encountered thousands of years ago,
And provide a compelling record of extraterrestrial contact.
We're coming up on the halfway mark in my countdown
Of the top ten alien artifacts,
And this next object is truly remarkable.
It's an ancient figurine that was discovered in mexico,
But to me, it clearly depicts a man in a modern flight suit.
The number-five artifact in my top ten countdown:
The rocket man of la venta.
Narrator: Throughout the world, ancient illustrations
And statues can be found that depict figures
Dressed in strange attire
That, as far as ancient astronaut theorists
Are concerned, is eerily reminiscent
Of modern-day space suits.
Examples include cave art in Italy, australia,
And the american southwest,
As well as sculptures, like the statue of pachamama
In tiahuanaco, bolivia,
Depictions of the mayan god kukulkan in mexico,
Curious figures carved into the hoysaleswara temple
In india, and a strange sculpture found
In guatemala city.
But perhaps most intriguing of all is a small figurine
Attributed to the olmec,
A civilization that emerged around 1400 bc
In the area of modern-day mexico.
The olmecs are one of the most mysterious
Ancient cultures known to the history of our planet.
And in la venta, we have carvings
That show the olmecs in very bizarre scenes.
One of them is this plumed serpent that appears to be
Floating in the sky, and you actually see a person
Sitting inside this flying snake.
And so you have to wonder if somehow the olmecs had access
To aviation technology, and I personally think they did.
Because at the museum of natural history in new york city,
There is a olmec figurine about this tall,
And you can tell that this guy is wearing
Some type of a flight suit.
You've got the legs here like in a modern-day astronaut suit,
And there's also some type of a life-support pack
That's on his chest.
There are six wings,
And the head is clearly enclosed
By a skullcap similar to modern-day astronauts.
In my opinion, it is the smoking gun
Of our ancestors having aviation technology
Thousands of years ago.
When it comes to ancient artifacts depicting advanced
Technology, one of the most extraordinary examples
I've ever seen is a tiny gold figurine
That looks remarkably similar to a modern-day airplane.
In fact, it's such an important piece of evidence
For the ancient astronaut theory
That I wear a replica on my shirt pocket.
Number four on my countdown
Of the top ten alien artifacts: The gold flyer.
Narrator: The southern highlands of colombia.
In the late 19th century, tomb robbers
Searching along the magdalena river
Stumbled upon a gravesite dating back 1,500 years
To a pre-colombian civilization known as the tolima.
Among the funerary objects found there
Were hundreds of small two to three-inch gold figurines.
Tsoukalos: So the tolima culture placed inside tombs little tiny
Objects made of gold, and they found hundreds of thousands
Of those in the form of different animals:
Birds, fish, frogs, insects.
However, out of these hundreds of thousands,
There were 17 that looked like modern-day airplanes.
They have a triangular shape,
They have an upright tail fin,
Stabilizers,
And a fuselage.
And they have nothing in common with
Anything similar in nature.
Narrator: In 1997, german aviation experts,
Including algund eenboom,
Set out to test the gold flyer's flight capabilities
By building a scale-model replica,
Fully equipped with landing gear and a working engine.
Eenboom: It was rather simple because we don't need
To put much parts to this shape
Because this shape is perfect.
Everything was already done by the native people
2,000 years ago.
Narrator: Once completed, the remote-controlled flyer
Took off down a makeshift runway, and flew.
Coppens: When you see this thing taking off,
You really feel that this is the real deal.
It was a very successful test,
And showed us how perfect ancient people were working out
Aerodynamic design.
What shows you that there must be something happened.
We are not quite sure how it did, but that it did.
This is applied science.
This isn't just thinking somewhere.
This is people going out there and making sure and proving
What I still see-- anybody can see this--
That this is real, this is genuine.
This little thing, which sits in a museum, could fly.
In 2017, I flew to romania with erich von daniken to check out
One of the most remarkable artifacts
We had ever heard of.
An aluminum object said to be at least 40,000 years old.
And even more extraordinary is that it was scientifically
Tested and found to have been made from an aluminum alloy
That doesn't match anything humans have ever manufactured.
Number three on my countdown of the top ten alien artifacts
Is the wedge of aiud.
Narrator: 1970.
Workers digging a trench along the banks of the mures river
Unearth two giant bones,
And with them, a mysterious metal object
Buried 35 feet beneath the surface.
This strange object, known today as the wedge of aiud,
Is an aluminum alloy that appears to have been made
Thousands of years before humans were able to smelt
Or fabricate metal.
It was ten meters in depth, associated with some bones,
Which they later identified as woolly mammoth bones.
They were extinct 40,000 years ago,
So they must be older than that.
The wedge was analyzed three times, to my knowledge.
The main metal in its composition is aluminum.
Michael dennin: Humans didn't really start working with aluminum
Until well into the 1800s.
So when you look at this wedge and you analyze it,
It really has most of the modern properties
We would associate with aluminum.
Narrator: For decades, government officials refused to reveal
Where the wedge of aiud was being held.
But its location has recently come to light.
On January 18, 2017,
At the national history museum
Of transylvania, ancient astronaut theorists
Giorgio tsoukalos and erich von daniken
Were offered a rare opportunity to get a firsthand look
At the wedge of aiud.
Museum curator ana gruia
Has taken it out of a storage locker
Where it has been deliberately hidden
From the public since the early 1970s.
Okay, I'm just gonna put my gloves on.
Tsoukalos: This is great.
Gruia: So, this is it.
Von daniken: Oh, okay.
Tsoukalos: This is strange.
And here, this is the... Where they took the sample out,
And here, to make the analysis.
And here you see two pieces that are broken off, sort of.
So maybe it was attached or something.
But very strange.
So what does the museum have to say about this?
This is a very strange piece.
It is. It is a strange piece for us as well.
As historians, we do not consider it
A historical object that we're used to.
We don't know what it was used for, and we
Acknowledge these uncertainties about its dating,
And its composition as well.
Von daniken: So we have a real mystery here.
But you see this patina over this whole object?
And this creates another problem.
Tsoukalos: Yes. Because you cannot fake a patina.
It's impossible to artificially create a patina.
Narrator: The patina is a thin coating of various metal compounds
That forms on the surface of the metal
During exposure to atmospheric elements.
The older the object, the thicker
The patina layer will be.
It takes hundreds, if not thousands of years
For a thick layer of patina, as this apparently is,
For it to develop.
Von daniken: So, we-we still have a mystery here.
Tsoukalos: In all of your adventures, how does this compare
To some of the other things that are inexplicable?
I am helpless. I have no idea.
-That says it all right there. -(laughs)
Very bizarre. Bizarre.
Narrator: Could the wedge of aiud be a physical remnant
Of an extraterrestrial visitation
That occurred thousands of years ago?
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes...
And suggest that even more compelling evidence
Of alien contact exists on the other side of the world,
Hidden deep within an ancient tomb.
When it comes to finding proof that extraterrestrials
Visited earth, the evidence is not always obvious.
But sometimes it can be crystal clear
If you know what to look for.
To me, this next artifact irrefutably depicts
An astronaut in the cockpit of a rocket ship.
Number two on my list of the top ten alien artifacts:
The sarcophagus lid of king pakal.
Narrator: Palanque, mexico.
1952.
Archaeologist alberto ruz lhuillier discovers
The pyramid tomb of king pakal,
Who ruled over the ancient mayan city
From 615 to 683 ad.
This is the famous temple of the inscriptions behind me.
Perhaps the most famous pyramid in all of the mayan world.
The french-mexican archeologist alberto lhuillier
Began his excavations at the top.
It took him four years
To slowly excavate, step by step,
Down the pyramid, until he finally came
To the tomb of lord pakal,
And the giant sarcophagus and lid
That the pyramid were built around.
Narrator: Arguably the most remarkable mayan artifact ever found,
The stone sarcophagus lid of king pakal has produced
Considerable controversy.
Mainstream scholars believe the depiction is of king pakal
On a journey to xibalba, the land of the dead.
But ancient astronaut theorists believe the king is portrayed
Seated at the controls of a spacecraft.
You see a man bending forward,
Almost like a racing motorcyclist.
He has his nose on some kind of oxygen mask.
He uses his upper hand to manipulate the knob.
You see his lower hand, he manipulates some controls.
He's sitting on a kind of chair in a sort of capsule.
Now, what's amazing about this is that through modern eyes
We can readily identify that it appears as if
Pakal is riding in some kind of a spaceship.
Narrator: In 2011, the strange carving
On king pakal's sarcophagus lid
Was translated into a 3d replica
By modelmaker paul francis.
Paul francis: When I saw this, I instantly said
"there's a guy in a space capsule."
You know? It doesn't need to be spelled out for me.
I don't have to find anything. It was already there.
Tsoukalos: I think this is absolutely extraordinary because
For the longest time we have said that what is on this
Pakal lid is not something symbolic.
It was something that the artist saw or was told about,
And then he or she tried to recreate this on a slab.
I also love the detail that you have underneath his right foot,
Where his foot is resting on a pedestal.
And that is exactly what we can see
On the palenque slab.
And how his hands are manipulating some controls.
And also, this kind of breathing apparatus
That's going on in front of his nose.
Francis: The breathing apparatus is actually a very neat piece.
It's called the giver of life.
The soul transfers through this,
And a giver of life, to me, would be air.
I mean, we breathe air.
This is a guy who needs this mask to survive.
Tsoukalos: Because, where is he?
Francis: Outer space.
We're down to number one on my countdown
Of the top ten alien artifacts.
Ancient aliens has traveled to all corners of the globe
Investigating the most incredible objects
Ever uncovered.
But this final one truly gives me goosebumps.
Many of these have been found all over the world,
But in season ten we were able to have
One of them tested in a lab.
The results were nothing short of remarkable.
Number one on my countdown of mysterious artifacts:
The paracas elongated skulls.
Narrator: New york city.
February, 2017.
At new york university, giorgio tsoukalos meets with
Art collector jared collins,
Who is in possession of a 2,000-year-old elongated skull.
Oh, wow. That is fantastic.
Narrator: The skull is incredibly well-preserved,
And jared is having it tested at the university
To find out if it might possibly contain abnormalities
That indicate it is something other than human.
Tsoukalos: So this skull was found
-In the paracas region of peru. -That's right.
But no real modern testing has ever been done on this.
Oh, this is amazing.
Narrator: Hundreds of strange, misshapen skulls have been found
On the southern coast of peru
From excavations dating back to 1927.
It was at this time that archaeologist julio tello
First excavated a massive burial complex
Thought to have been built by the paracas people
Who lived in the region from 800 bc to 100 bc.
Mainstream archaeologists say the elongation
Is most likely the result of head binding,
Which involves wrapping the heads of infants
While their skulls are still soft
In order to change the shape.
But some of the paracas skulls display abnormalities
That head binding cannot explain.
So, let's go, right? Okay.
Okay.
Narrator: Nyu professor of anthropology dr. Todd disotell
Agreed to conduct a forensic evaluation
Of the elongated skull.
I've seen casts. I've never seen one in person.
-Okay. -Wow.
That is... Freaky.
I mean, I just can't come up with another term.
I love that your first reaction is that it's freaky,
-'cause I agree with you. -Well, I mean, look at it.
-That's... -It's-it's quite bizarre.
Narrator: In addition to being elongated,
The paracas skull possesses an abnormally large jaw
And eye sockets.
Let me just move it over to the sterile bench surface.
-Mm-hmm. -Wow.
So, it's very fascinating.
-Besides the shape. -(laughter)
The sagittal suture looks like it has completely fused.
I'm looking at it, and it's just been
Completely obliterated.
Narrator: The sagittal suture is the seam where the two parietal
Bones of the skull come together.
Although the markings may be faint due to fusing over time,
All human skulls are expected to have
Some evidence of this feature.
So it is curious that this skull does not.
Okay, let's move on to extracting
Some tooth and bone powder
To get dna out of that.
Okay, excellent.
Narrator: The analysis of the material will determine the sex,
Ancestral lineage of both the father and the mother,
And any dna anomalies when compared with
The current human genetic database.
Looks pretty good.
So, we will pack this up and send it off,
And in four to six weeks they should have the result.
Tsoukalos: Four to six weeks? Okay.
Thank you very much.
I really appreciate your input on this.
-Take care. -Thanks a lot. -You got it.
Narrator: Two months later, in April, 2017,
Giorgio contacted dr. Disotell
To find out the results of his testing.
All right, todd, you got the results?
Yeah, and they're very, very interesting.
They did get a good, clean dna profile
From the maternally inherited dna.
So this particular specimen is actually
Not found in the new world, not found amongst native americans,
And it's typically found amongst europeans and middle easterners.
In fact, the 100% match was to a scottish individual.
-This makes no sense whatsoever. -Really?
In a south american skull? This is all very strange.
That could mean that people from europe got to south america,
You know, 1,500 years earlier
Than we currently understand that.
That's amazing.
Unfortunately, the condition of the sample
Did not yield any y chromosome.
Unfortunately, we're missing that.
Right.
Do you think that a case can be made at all--
And again, this is complete speculation--
That perhaps it is not necessarily human?
Is that a possibility?
Well, it's possible.
But still, we actually don't know what this is.
Since we didn't get any definitive result, obviously
A scientist always wants to try to do that.
This is extraordinary.
It's worthy of study
Or opening up a new area of inquiry
And some new hypotheses.
Narrator: An ancient skull,
More than twice as long as a normal human skull,
With an enlarged jaw, enlarged eye sockets,
No sagittal suture, and dna that does not match
The area in which the skull was found.
Might additional testing reveal that this skull
Is not entirely human?
So, did this paracas skull belong to someone
Who was part extraterrestrial?
Ancient astronaut theorists resoundingly say yes.
Well, that concludes my countdown, for now.
And I'm confident that as more and more mysterious artifacts
Come to light, the evidence of alien contact
Will soon become too hard to dismiss,
And we will finally have undeniable proof
Of our extraterrestrial origins.
