1
00:00:01,697 --> 00:00:07,326
And here he is...
King Tut himself,

2
00:00:07,327 --> 00:00:12,236
laying right in front of us,
more than 3,000 years later.

3
00:00:12,237 --> 00:00:15,986
This tomb was made
for ultimate protection.

4
00:00:15,987 --> 00:00:18,156
And when they first
opened this tomb,

5
00:00:18,157 --> 00:00:20,737
people died mysteriously.

6
00:00:23,987 --> 00:00:27,276
The ancient pharaohs
would place a curse

7
00:00:27,277 --> 00:00:30,987
on all those who would
enter into their tombs.

8
00:00:33,237 --> 00:00:35,276
What is the deadly secret

9
00:00:35,277 --> 00:00:37,736
behind the curse of King Tut?

10
00:00:37,737 --> 00:00:40,866
We're dealing
with an extraterrestrial force

11
00:00:40,867 --> 00:00:42,406
that the ancient Egyptians
were utilizing

12
00:00:42,407 --> 00:00:43,656
to protect these tombs.

13
00:00:43,657 --> 00:00:45,566
Does alien technology

14
00:00:45,567 --> 00:00:49,236
prevent us from learning
our true past?

15
00:00:49,237 --> 00:00:51,066
Something very significant
that perhaps we still

16
00:00:51,067 --> 00:00:54,066
don't understand
was hidden in that tomb.

17
00:00:54,067 --> 00:00:57,026
And if so, what might happen

18
00:00:57,027 --> 00:00:59,826
when the so-called curse
is finally lifted?

19
00:00:59,827 --> 00:01:02,656
According
to the idea that I subscribe to,

20
00:01:02,657 --> 00:01:05,657
it will be the return
of the extraterrestrials.

21
00:01:37,487 --> 00:01:38,826
Oak Island.

22
00:01:38,827 --> 00:01:40,566
Nova Scotia, Canada.

23
00:01:40,567 --> 00:01:42,866
2017.

24
00:01:42,867 --> 00:01:45,866
Rick and Marty Lagina

25
00:01:45,867 --> 00:01:49,736
return to the land they
purchased here ten years ago

26
00:01:49,737 --> 00:01:53,156
in an effort to solve
a centuries-old mystery...

27
00:01:53,157 --> 00:01:57,156
One that began in 1795,

28
00:01:57,157 --> 00:02:00,986
when three Nova Scotia farm boys
set out to explore the island

29
00:02:00,987 --> 00:02:03,946
after witnessing strange lights

30
00:02:03,947 --> 00:02:06,237
coming from its shore
in the middle of the night.

31
00:02:07,657 --> 00:02:10,446
According to a legendary curse,

32
00:02:10,447 --> 00:02:14,866
seven men must die before the
island will reveal a treasure

33
00:02:14,867 --> 00:02:18,446
that lies buried
deep beneath its surface.

34
00:02:18,447 --> 00:02:22,947
So far, six lives have been lost
in pursuit of the treasure.

35
00:02:25,567 --> 00:02:28,026
The island has been studied
and explored

36
00:02:28,027 --> 00:02:32,066
by generation after generation
of earnest seekers.

37
00:02:32,067 --> 00:02:35,196
The current owners
have brought in

38
00:02:35,197 --> 00:02:37,906
much heavier equipment
than has ever been used before,

39
00:02:37,907 --> 00:02:39,566
and they are dedicated
to finding out

40
00:02:39,567 --> 00:02:41,157
the secret of Oak Island.

41
00:02:43,327 --> 00:02:46,236
But some ancient
astronaut theorists believe

42
00:02:46,237 --> 00:02:49,986
they already know
what will be found.

43
00:02:49,987 --> 00:02:53,066
There was a giant shaft

44
00:02:53,067 --> 00:02:55,776
that had been dug
into the island.

45
00:02:55,777 --> 00:02:57,486
Very, very deep.

46
00:02:57,487 --> 00:02:59,366
And, at certain levels,

47
00:02:59,367 --> 00:03:02,526
flood tunnels had been built
from the ocean

48
00:03:02,527 --> 00:03:04,066
that came to the shaft.

49
00:03:04,067 --> 00:03:05,696
And so you have to wonder

50
00:03:05,697 --> 00:03:08,026
if people have gone through
a lot of effort

51
00:03:08,027 --> 00:03:09,776
to protect something.

52
00:03:09,777 --> 00:03:13,276
And I would suspect
the Ark of the Covenant.

53
00:03:13,277 --> 00:03:15,826
The Ark of the Covenant?

54
00:03:15,827 --> 00:03:19,736
The golden chest built to house
the Ten Commandments?

55
00:03:19,737 --> 00:03:22,826
How would this have ended up
buried more than

56
00:03:22,827 --> 00:03:26,486
100 feet beneath the earth
on Oak Island?

57
00:03:26,487 --> 00:03:29,657
And what does it
have to do with a curse?

58
00:03:31,447 --> 00:03:34,986
Ancient astronaut theorists
say the answer lies

59
00:03:34,987 --> 00:03:37,616
more than 5,000 miles away,

60
00:03:37,617 --> 00:03:43,027
with a curse that dates back
to the 14th century BC.

61
00:03:48,327 --> 00:03:51,616
Egypt. Valley of the Kings.

62
00:03:51,617 --> 00:03:54,866
November 4, 1922.

63
00:03:54,867 --> 00:03:59,866
A young boy, working for a
British excavation team

64
00:03:59,867 --> 00:04:01,656
led by Howard Carter,

65
00:04:01,657 --> 00:04:04,236
is riding his donkey
home one night,

66
00:04:04,237 --> 00:04:07,026
when suddenly the animal's hoof

67
00:04:07,027 --> 00:04:09,906
slips into a hole
below the sand.

68
00:04:09,907 --> 00:04:13,486
Thinking he may have stumbled
upon the entrance to a tomb,

69
00:04:13,487 --> 00:04:16,237
he rushes home
and alerts Carter.

70
00:04:19,617 --> 00:04:22,696
When Howard Carter came in,

71
00:04:22,697 --> 00:04:25,866
they dug feverishly,
all the way through the tomb.

72
00:04:25,867 --> 00:04:28,446
72 steps.

73
00:04:28,447 --> 00:04:32,236
Till they reached
the sealed door of the tomb,

74
00:04:32,237 --> 00:04:35,326
which was right here.

75
00:04:35,327 --> 00:04:39,156
He instantly made a hole into
the wall before destroying it.

76
00:04:39,157 --> 00:04:41,696
And Howard Carter
peeked in and said...

77
00:04:41,697 --> 00:04:47,066
And I quote... "I see
wonderful things."

78
00:04:47,067 --> 00:04:49,116
Which was very true.

79
00:04:49,117 --> 00:04:53,986
Right inside King Tut's tomb,
there were wonderful things.

80
00:04:53,987 --> 00:04:57,527
This tomb was packed
with gold and treasures.

81
00:04:59,527 --> 00:05:02,656
Incredibly,
Howard Carter and his team

82
00:05:02,657 --> 00:05:06,406
had unearthed
the tomb of King Tutankhamen.

83
00:05:06,407 --> 00:05:10,156
To this day, it is considered
the best-preserved

84
00:05:10,157 --> 00:05:14,907
and most intact tomb ever found
in the Valley of the Kings.

85
00:05:18,827 --> 00:05:20,986
Although the excavation team

86
00:05:20,987 --> 00:05:24,526
achieved instant, worldwide fame
for their discovery,

87
00:05:24,527 --> 00:05:28,776
their triumph was short-lived.

88
00:05:28,777 --> 00:05:32,526
During the opening
of the tomb of King Tut,

89
00:05:32,527 --> 00:05:36,066
all the workers were very wary...

90
00:05:36,067 --> 00:05:37,776
The Egyptian ones.

91
00:05:37,777 --> 00:05:41,026
It is known
that ancient Egyptian tombs

92
00:05:41,027 --> 00:05:44,986
have the curse of the pharaohs.

93
00:05:44,987 --> 00:05:48,157
Whoever enters the tomb first
will die.

94
00:05:51,407 --> 00:05:53,616
While most Westerners involved

95
00:05:53,617 --> 00:05:57,326
did not take the ancient stories
of a curse seriously,

96
00:05:57,327 --> 00:06:01,866
the opening of King Tut's tomb
was almost immediately followed

97
00:06:01,867 --> 00:06:05,406
by numerous tragedies,
some with eerie connections

98
00:06:05,407 --> 00:06:07,237
to the alleged curse.

99
00:06:09,907 --> 00:06:12,776
Soon after the opening
of the tomb,

100
00:06:12,777 --> 00:06:15,116
a messenger went to
the archaeologist's house.

101
00:06:15,117 --> 00:06:16,777
This was Howard Carter.

102
00:06:18,697 --> 00:06:23,656
He found Carter's beloved canary
in the mouth of a cobra,

103
00:06:23,657 --> 00:06:29,066
which was the symbolic
snake of the pharaoh.

104
00:06:29,067 --> 00:06:31,616
Later, we learned
that Lord Carnarvon himself

105
00:06:31,617 --> 00:06:34,196
was bit on the cheek
by a mosquito

106
00:06:34,197 --> 00:06:36,616
in the very same place
that King Tut, it turned out,

107
00:06:36,617 --> 00:06:38,326
was also wounded.

108
00:06:38,327 --> 00:06:42,196
He died within weeks
of a blood-borne disease,

109
00:06:42,197 --> 00:06:44,366
very mysteriously.

110
00:06:44,367 --> 00:06:46,986
Howard Fields,
another archeologist

111
00:06:46,987 --> 00:06:50,986
who came to the tomb, had his
home burned down and flooded.

112
00:06:50,987 --> 00:06:52,656
And people began
to wonder if, in fact,

113
00:06:52,657 --> 00:06:54,827
this was the curse
of Tutankhamen.

114
00:06:57,697 --> 00:06:59,696
No fewer than seven deaths

115
00:06:59,697 --> 00:07:03,116
have been associated
with the opening of the tomb,

116
00:07:03,117 --> 00:07:06,366
the same number of lives
that Oak Island must claim,

117
00:07:06,367 --> 00:07:08,946
according to the legend.

118
00:07:08,947 --> 00:07:10,866
Could there really
have been a curse

119
00:07:10,867 --> 00:07:13,236
protecting King Tut's tomb?

120
00:07:13,237 --> 00:07:16,487
And if so, what was behind it?

121
00:07:18,737 --> 00:07:22,236
Curses were a tool of Heka,

122
00:07:22,237 --> 00:07:26,736
the magical technology
that the ancient Egyptians used

123
00:07:26,737 --> 00:07:31,486
that they said was a gift
of their extraterrestrial gods.

124
00:07:31,487 --> 00:07:33,486
This suggests that
the curse of the pharaohs

125
00:07:33,487 --> 00:07:36,116
is an extraterrestrial force,

126
00:07:36,117 --> 00:07:39,196
or perhaps even technology
that the ancient Egyptians

127
00:07:39,197 --> 00:07:41,277
were utilizing
to protect these tombs.

128
00:07:44,027 --> 00:07:46,326
Is it possible that some type

129
00:07:46,327 --> 00:07:49,616
of extraterrestrial technology
was activated

130
00:07:49,617 --> 00:07:52,616
with the opening
of King Tut's tomb?

131
00:07:52,617 --> 00:07:56,446
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,

132
00:07:56,447 --> 00:08:00,486
and as further evidence, point
to the so-called magic bricks

133
00:08:00,487 --> 00:08:03,196
found at the tomb.

134
00:08:03,197 --> 00:08:06,367
In the tomb of Tutankhamen...

135
00:08:29,237 --> 00:08:33,116
When we go over
to the Tibetan arena,

136
00:08:33,117 --> 00:08:34,566
we see these prayer wheels.

137
00:08:34,567 --> 00:08:36,236
And this is
a very interesting thing,

138
00:08:36,237 --> 00:08:38,696
because the priest
would actually go by

139
00:08:38,697 --> 00:08:40,656
and they would roll
these cylindrical drums

140
00:08:40,657 --> 00:08:42,906
with their hands.

141
00:08:42,907 --> 00:08:46,236
And they believe that
the simple rolling of the drum

142
00:08:46,237 --> 00:08:50,066
would actually impress the words
upon the space around them.

143
00:08:50,067 --> 00:08:52,946
They believe that space
was alive and intelligent.

144
00:08:52,947 --> 00:08:55,156
So this suggests the possibility

145
00:08:55,157 --> 00:08:57,696
that certain words do,
in a sense,

146
00:08:57,697 --> 00:09:00,866
become imbued with a force.

147
00:09:00,867 --> 00:09:02,446
That force may be something that

148
00:09:02,447 --> 00:09:04,116
certain types of
extraterrestrial

149
00:09:04,117 --> 00:09:08,406
or extra-dimensional beings
can actually access.

150
00:09:08,407 --> 00:09:11,026
Is it possible
that the Egyptians

151
00:09:11,027 --> 00:09:13,566
were working with
extraterrestrials,

152
00:09:13,567 --> 00:09:16,366
who would, in fact, generate

153
00:09:16,367 --> 00:09:20,906
these types of
seemingly magical phenomena

154
00:09:20,907 --> 00:09:23,196
in the event that people
tried to transgress

155
00:09:23,197 --> 00:09:25,027
into these locations?

156
00:09:27,987 --> 00:09:30,446
If the so-called magic bricks

157
00:09:30,447 --> 00:09:33,156
really were alien technology,

158
00:09:33,157 --> 00:09:36,196
as ancient astronaut
theorists suggest,

159
00:09:36,197 --> 00:09:38,156
might they have triggered
the terrible events

160
00:09:38,157 --> 00:09:40,196
that were set in motion

161
00:09:40,197 --> 00:09:43,986
when Howard Carter breached
the entrance to King Tut's tomb?

162
00:09:43,987 --> 00:09:47,366
And is there a connection
to the curse

163
00:09:47,367 --> 00:09:51,116
that is said to exist
on Oak Island today?

164
00:09:51,117 --> 00:09:54,656
Perhaps further clues
will be revealed

165
00:09:54,657 --> 00:09:57,566
by examining an artifact
in King Tut's tomb

166
00:09:57,567 --> 00:10:00,526
that isn't found in any other:

167
00:10:00,527 --> 00:10:03,027
a fifth magic brick.

168
00:10:05,963 --> 00:10:09,922
September 22, 1926.

169
00:10:10,686 --> 00:10:14,305
Howard Carter and his team begin
their fifth excavation season

170
00:10:14,306 --> 00:10:18,145
at the tomb of King Tutankhamen.

171
00:10:18,146 --> 00:10:21,475
The focus of their work
is an unwalled room

172
00:10:21,476 --> 00:10:25,555
on the far end of the burial
chamber called the treasury.

173
00:10:25,556 --> 00:10:29,395
When they enter,
the first thing they come upon

174
00:10:29,396 --> 00:10:32,935
is a fifth so-called
magic brick.

175
00:10:32,936 --> 00:10:36,225
This fifth brick has
a harrowing inscription

176
00:10:36,226 --> 00:10:39,055
that reads,
"It is I who hindered the sand

177
00:10:39,056 --> 00:10:41,475
"from choking the secret chamber

178
00:10:41,476 --> 00:10:44,095
"and who repel
that one who would repel him

179
00:10:44,096 --> 00:10:45,725
"with the desert flame.

180
00:10:45,726 --> 00:10:47,855
"I have set aflame the desert.

181
00:10:47,856 --> 00:10:50,805
"I have caused the path
to be mistaken.

182
00:10:50,806 --> 00:10:54,435
I am for the protection
of the deceased."

183
00:10:54,436 --> 00:10:57,645
And we have to wonder,
why was this fifth brick

184
00:10:57,646 --> 00:10:59,556
placed in the tomb
of Tutankhamen?

185
00:11:01,516 --> 00:11:03,685
While other
pharaohs' tombs were found

186
00:11:03,686 --> 00:11:06,435
to contain
four magic curse bricks,

187
00:11:06,436 --> 00:11:09,805
only King Tut's includes
a fifth.

188
00:11:09,806 --> 00:11:14,311
But why?
- That fifth brick may be a clue,

189
00:11:14,312 --> 00:11:18,271
a sort of "X" -marks-the-spot
treasure map

190
00:11:18,272 --> 00:11:21,061
that shows us
that something very significant

191
00:11:21,062 --> 00:11:22,851
that perhaps
we still don't understand

192
00:11:22,852 --> 00:11:25,102
was hidden in that tomb.

193
00:11:26,902 --> 00:11:30,731
On September 28, 2015,

194
00:11:30,732 --> 00:11:33,441
British Egyptologist
Nicholas Reeves

195
00:11:33,442 --> 00:11:35,731
made a remarkable discovery

196
00:11:35,732 --> 00:11:40,061
while examining high-resolution
scans of King Tut's tomb:

197
00:11:40,062 --> 00:11:42,561
the possibility
of hidden cavities

198
00:11:42,562 --> 00:11:45,731
within the burial chamber.

199
00:11:45,732 --> 00:11:48,981
Dr. Reeves looked
at high-resolution images

200
00:11:48,982 --> 00:11:53,061
of this wall,
and, um, he noticed

201
00:11:53,062 --> 00:11:57,771
a crack that looks like
it should have been a door.

202
00:11:57,772 --> 00:11:59,771
And it was right about here.

203
00:11:59,772 --> 00:12:01,542
They brought thermal scanners in

204
00:12:01,543 --> 00:12:03,311
and scanned behind this wall,

205
00:12:03,312 --> 00:12:06,101
and they believed
they found cavities

206
00:12:06,102 --> 00:12:09,441
behind this specific area.

207
00:12:09,442 --> 00:12:13,771
He took a permission to go
inside the north room

208
00:12:13,772 --> 00:12:17,771
and dig through to discover
what's behind this wall.

209
00:12:17,772 --> 00:12:20,941
But just a couple of months
before the mission took place,

210
00:12:20,942 --> 00:12:23,352
it was stopped
for unknown reasons.

211
00:12:25,022 --> 00:12:27,351
Who, or what, may be hidden

212
00:12:27,352 --> 00:12:31,231
in this secret chamber
is hotly debated,

213
00:12:31,232 --> 00:12:33,561
but some researchers believe
it is possible

214
00:12:33,562 --> 00:12:36,441
that it contains
the remains of Egypt's

215
00:12:36,442 --> 00:12:39,641
most controversial pharaoh,
Akhenaten,

216
00:12:39,642 --> 00:12:44,851
who also happens to be
the father of King Tut.

217
00:12:44,852 --> 00:12:49,141
Ancient Egypt had always been
polytheistic, many gods,

218
00:12:49,142 --> 00:12:53,401
and then there is a new leader,
a new pharaoh with a new idea.

219
00:12:53,402 --> 00:12:56,771
Akhenaten announces
there will be one god,

220
00:12:56,772 --> 00:12:59,641
they will be
a monotheistic people.

221
00:12:59,642 --> 00:13:02,021
Aten, the sun god,

222
00:13:02,022 --> 00:13:05,901
would be the one divinity
they all worshipped.

223
00:13:05,902 --> 00:13:09,231
The image is the sun disc.

224
00:13:09,232 --> 00:13:13,192
It shook the empire
in really terrible ways.

225
00:13:15,482 --> 00:13:18,441
What could have
inspired Akhenaten to make

226
00:13:18,442 --> 00:13:22,901
such drastic changes during
a time of tremendous prosperity?

227
00:13:22,902 --> 00:13:26,521
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest there may have been

228
00:13:26,522 --> 00:13:31,061
an otherworldly influence,
and as evidence,

229
00:13:31,062 --> 00:13:34,442
point to the way he was depicted
by artists of the time.

230
00:13:36,232 --> 00:13:38,351
Akhenaten introduced
the idea that

231
00:13:38,352 --> 00:13:41,601
every time his artisans
would carve something,

232
00:13:41,602 --> 00:13:44,901
it had to be lifelike,
so it had to be represented

233
00:13:44,902 --> 00:13:46,941
exactly the way it was seen.

234
00:13:46,942 --> 00:13:50,481
Which is interesting, because,
if you look at the likenesses

235
00:13:50,482 --> 00:13:53,941
of Akhenaten,
he looks very strange.

236
00:13:53,942 --> 00:13:59,021
Akhenaten had himself depicted
in the most peculiar way.

237
00:13:59,022 --> 00:14:04,141
He had this elongated face,
he had this protruding belly,

238
00:14:04,142 --> 00:14:08,481
he had these almost like
chicken leg-type legs.

239
00:14:08,482 --> 00:14:12,442
Very peculiar, with this
elongated skull at the back.

240
00:14:14,192 --> 00:14:16,481
Now, all other pharaohs

241
00:14:16,482 --> 00:14:20,481
had themselves depicted looking
as, shall we say,

242
00:14:20,482 --> 00:14:23,731
majestic and muscular
as possible.

243
00:14:23,732 --> 00:14:27,481
One has to wonder
if Akhenaten may have been

244
00:14:27,482 --> 00:14:29,851
some type of
an extraterrestrial hybrid,

245
00:14:29,852 --> 00:14:35,351
and that is why he introduced
this one-god rule.

246
00:14:35,352 --> 00:14:40,481
Perhaps that sun disc Aten
that Akhenaten prayed to

247
00:14:40,482 --> 00:14:44,601
wasn't a sun in the sky at all,
but it could have been

248
00:14:44,602 --> 00:14:48,311
an extraterrestrial
that instructed Akhenaten.

249
00:14:48,312 --> 00:14:52,771
The texts say
it's a winged disc.

250
00:14:52,772 --> 00:14:55,942
The sun is not referred to
as a winged disc.

251
00:14:59,062 --> 00:15:01,141
Following Akhenaten's death,

252
00:15:01,142 --> 00:15:03,141
his enemies went
to extreme lengths

253
00:15:03,142 --> 00:15:05,192
to obliterate his legacy.

254
00:15:07,352 --> 00:15:10,231
Right here,
opposite King Tut's tomb,

255
00:15:10,232 --> 00:15:13,351
is the very mysterious KV55.

256
00:15:13,352 --> 00:15:18,141
Most Egyptologists agree
that the mummy they found inside

257
00:15:18,142 --> 00:15:20,402
was King Akhenaten's mummy.

258
00:15:23,062 --> 00:15:25,481
They found a destroyed coffin,

259
00:15:25,482 --> 00:15:28,901
and every wall painting
was already chiseled off,

260
00:15:28,902 --> 00:15:32,061
intentionally chiseled off.

261
00:15:32,062 --> 00:15:33,731
Which would make sense.

262
00:15:33,732 --> 00:15:38,191
It would make sense that this
tomb has been trying to wipe out

263
00:15:38,192 --> 00:15:40,901
King Akhenaten's memory.

264
00:15:40,902 --> 00:15:45,441
Because the tomb
had been so badly vandalized,

265
00:15:45,442 --> 00:15:48,351
it could not be verified
with absolute certainty

266
00:15:48,352 --> 00:15:50,851
who it belonged to.

267
00:15:50,852 --> 00:15:55,311
And some Egyptologists claim
that examination of the mummy

268
00:15:55,312 --> 00:15:58,981
proves definitively
that it was not Akhenaten...

269
00:15:58,982 --> 00:16:01,062
It was someone else.

270
00:16:03,062 --> 00:16:06,021
When it was
examined, it turned out to be

271
00:16:06,022 --> 00:16:09,602
somebody who, uh,
is in his early 20s...

272
00:16:29,642 --> 00:16:32,141
The ancient Egyptians
did not want us

273
00:16:32,142 --> 00:16:35,021
to know anything
about Akhenaten.

274
00:16:35,022 --> 00:16:38,141
You can only wonder
if there's a connection now

275
00:16:38,142 --> 00:16:41,771
to the curse that protects
King Tut's tomb.

276
00:16:41,772 --> 00:16:45,351
Was it, in fact, to protect
an even darker secret?

277
00:16:45,352 --> 00:16:48,901
Is it possible
that the mummy of Akhenaten

278
00:16:48,902 --> 00:16:53,601
was not buried in his tomb,
but instead was secretly placed

279
00:16:53,602 --> 00:16:58,601
in a hidden chamber in the tomb
of his son, King Tut?

280
00:16:58,602 --> 00:17:01,981
And might the so-called
curse of the pharaohs

281
00:17:01,982 --> 00:17:05,521
have been put in place
to keep us from finding it

282
00:17:05,522 --> 00:17:09,401
until a time when we are ready
to discover the truth

283
00:17:09,402 --> 00:17:13,401
about Akhenaten's
otherworldly origins?

284
00:17:13,402 --> 00:17:17,021
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,

285
00:17:17,022 --> 00:17:20,981
and suggest an even more
profound secret can be found

286
00:17:20,982 --> 00:17:23,811
by examining
King Tut's sarcophagus

287
00:17:23,812 --> 00:17:26,982
and the name that was
removed from it.

288
00:17:29,849 --> 00:17:32,678
Egypt. Valley of the Queens.

289
00:17:32,679 --> 00:17:37,268
January 26, 1909.

290
00:17:37,269 --> 00:17:41,388
13 years before the discovery
of King Tut's tomb,

291
00:17:41,389 --> 00:17:44,518
artist and playwright
Joseph Lindon Smith

292
00:17:44,519 --> 00:17:49,018
and Egyptologist Arthur Weigall
perform a theater piece

293
00:17:49,019 --> 00:17:50,678
for Howard Carter's team.

294
00:17:50,679 --> 00:17:55,018
The play tells the story
of a curse that was placed

295
00:17:55,019 --> 00:17:58,388
on the pharaoh Akhenaten
by the priests of Amun,

296
00:17:58,389 --> 00:18:00,598
who he had defied.

297
00:18:00,599 --> 00:18:04,058
According to the curse,
Akhenaten would not be able

298
00:18:04,059 --> 00:18:07,598
to travel to the otherworld,
but would be doomed

299
00:18:07,599 --> 00:18:11,478
to walk the Earth as a ghost.

300
00:18:11,479 --> 00:18:14,018
Now, some very interesting
circumstances unfortunately

301
00:18:14,019 --> 00:18:17,889
took place when they went
through with this play.

302
00:18:19,809 --> 00:18:22,558
This storm comes up
out of nowhere,

303
00:18:22,559 --> 00:18:24,808
blinds one of the actresses.

304
00:18:24,809 --> 00:18:29,228
One of the play writers' wives
is befuddled

305
00:18:29,229 --> 00:18:31,558
with this unknown sickness.

306
00:18:31,559 --> 00:18:34,178
Really raises a lot of questions

307
00:18:34,179 --> 00:18:37,809
as to this curse around
Akhenaten actually being real.

308
00:18:40,979 --> 00:18:43,388
In the legends of many curses,

309
00:18:43,389 --> 00:18:47,308
there is often a story
that a certain mantra,

310
00:18:47,309 --> 00:18:49,808
or reading a certain script

311
00:18:49,809 --> 00:18:53,808
will suddenly activate
the curse.

312
00:18:53,809 --> 00:18:58,178
So you have to wonder,
is it possible that there is

313
00:18:58,179 --> 00:19:01,478
some kind of
extraterrestrial device

314
00:19:01,479 --> 00:19:05,058
that's activated by sound?

315
00:19:05,059 --> 00:19:09,808
Just in the same way
that we would talk to Siri

316
00:19:09,809 --> 00:19:13,638
or Alexa, from Amazon,

317
00:19:13,639 --> 00:19:17,558
and activate it with our voices,
and give it commands,

318
00:19:17,559 --> 00:19:19,889
and then it's going to
do something for us.

319
00:19:23,519 --> 00:19:25,978
Is it possible
that there is some form of

320
00:19:25,979 --> 00:19:28,888
alien technology
that was enacted with both

321
00:19:28,889 --> 00:19:31,268
the unsealing of King Tut's tomb

322
00:19:31,269 --> 00:19:34,308
and the recitation
of ancient lines

323
00:19:34,309 --> 00:19:38,138
contained in the play
to lift Akhenaten's curse?

324
00:19:38,139 --> 00:19:43,978
Ancient astronaut theorists say
yes, and suggest that the curse

325
00:19:43,979 --> 00:19:46,848
was designed not only
to hide the truth about

326
00:19:46,849 --> 00:19:50,098
Akhenaten's
extraterrestrial ancestry,

327
00:19:50,099 --> 00:19:55,558
but also another incredible
secret about mankind's past...

328
00:19:55,559 --> 00:19:57,888
One that can be found
by examining

329
00:19:57,889 --> 00:19:59,979
the sarcophagus of King Tut.

330
00:20:03,269 --> 00:20:08,978
Every mummy had coffins
that look like the king.

331
00:20:08,979 --> 00:20:10,848
The face was sculpted
in a way that looks like

332
00:20:10,849 --> 00:20:12,848
the mummy inside it.

333
00:20:12,849 --> 00:20:16,308
Whether the coffins were made
of wood or made of solid gold,

334
00:20:16,309 --> 00:20:17,768
like King Tut's,

335
00:20:17,769 --> 00:20:20,309
it had to resemble
the way King Tut looked.

336
00:20:22,679 --> 00:20:26,058
Every pharaoh was
buried not within one coffin,

337
00:20:26,059 --> 00:20:28,768
but several concentric coffins,

338
00:20:28,769 --> 00:20:31,638
like a Russian nesting doll.

339
00:20:31,639 --> 00:20:33,679
King Tut has three.

340
00:20:37,099 --> 00:20:40,808
Right in front of me is
the sarcophagus of the king.

341
00:20:40,809 --> 00:20:43,479
Now there's a lot of debate
about the middle coffin.

342
00:20:45,179 --> 00:20:47,938
It has different facial features
than the rest.

343
00:20:47,939 --> 00:20:49,888
And it also seems like

344
00:20:49,889 --> 00:20:53,808
the cartouche where
the name of the king would be

345
00:20:53,809 --> 00:20:58,308
was replaced with
King Tut's name instead.

346
00:20:58,309 --> 00:21:02,138
Now, under further analysis,
they were able to read

347
00:21:02,139 --> 00:21:06,058
the name on the cartouche
underneath King Tut's name.

348
00:21:06,059 --> 00:21:11,098
And that read "Ankhkheperure."

349
00:21:11,099 --> 00:21:14,388
Ankhkheperure was not King Tut.

350
00:21:14,389 --> 00:21:19,678
Why was a sarcophagus
that was made for Ankhkheperure

351
00:21:19,679 --> 00:21:21,889
used to hold the mummy
of King Tut?

352
00:21:23,639 --> 00:21:25,728
His death at 19

353
00:21:25,729 --> 00:21:28,518
was definitely a problem
for the tomb makers.

354
00:21:28,519 --> 00:21:30,518
It ended up being a rushed job.

355
00:21:30,519 --> 00:21:32,888
He got the smallest tomb
in the valley.

356
00:21:32,889 --> 00:21:36,268
But who is Ankhkheperure?

357
00:21:36,269 --> 00:21:40,058
Every ruler in ancient Egypt
was given a throne name

358
00:21:40,059 --> 00:21:42,808
that was different
from his birth name.

359
00:21:42,809 --> 00:21:45,558
The throne name of Ankhkheperure

360
00:21:45,559 --> 00:21:48,348
is believed to have belonged
to a very important

361
00:21:48,349 --> 00:21:51,179
and mysterious member
of King Tut's family.

362
00:21:55,389 --> 00:21:57,938
Ankhkheperure could
have been the throne name

363
00:21:57,939 --> 00:22:00,178
of Prince Thutmose,

364
00:22:00,179 --> 00:22:02,348
who was allegedly
Akhenaten's brother

365
00:22:02,349 --> 00:22:05,938
and was supposed to rule
before or after Akhenaten,

366
00:22:05,939 --> 00:22:07,519
but never got to.

367
00:22:09,099 --> 00:22:10,888
There are numerous theories

368
00:22:10,889 --> 00:22:14,638
regarding Akhenaten's
mysterious brother Thutmose.

369
00:22:14,639 --> 00:22:18,888
But the most profound comes
from an unexpected source:

370
00:22:18,889 --> 00:22:20,808
Sigmund Freud,

371
00:22:20,809 --> 00:22:24,388
who, in addition to being
the founder of psychoanalysis,

372
00:22:24,389 --> 00:22:29,138
was also a scholar of
Judaism and ancient Egypt.

373
00:22:29,139 --> 00:22:34,018
Sigmund Freud, the famous
psychoanalyst, in 1939,

374
00:22:34,019 --> 00:22:39,638
first suggested that monotheism
began with Akhenaten,

375
00:22:39,639 --> 00:22:43,058
and he thought that someone
in Akhenaten's court,

376
00:22:43,059 --> 00:22:46,098
perhaps his brother Thutmoses,

377
00:22:46,099 --> 00:22:49,679
could in fact be
the historical Moses.

378
00:22:52,019 --> 00:22:56,678
Could Sigmund Freud's
audacious conclusion be true?

379
00:22:56,679 --> 00:22:59,268
That Akhenaten's
biological brother

380
00:22:59,269 --> 00:23:02,678
was in fact
the Hebrew leader Moses?

381
00:23:02,679 --> 00:23:05,178
According to Freud,

382
00:23:05,179 --> 00:23:08,638
the events depicted in the
Bible surrounding Moses' birth,

383
00:23:08,639 --> 00:23:13,138
exile, and most importantly
his introduction of monotheism,

384
00:23:13,139 --> 00:23:18,268
perfectly coincide with the
historical record of Thutmose.

385
00:23:18,269 --> 00:23:23,438
The name Thutmoses means
"son of the god Thoth."

386
00:23:23,439 --> 00:23:28,518
If you take away the "Thut"
element in his name,

387
00:23:28,519 --> 00:23:31,098
it simply means "son of."

388
00:23:31,099 --> 00:23:34,518
"Mose" means "the son of."

389
00:23:34,519 --> 00:23:38,518
Now, the name Moses
is very similar to "Mose,"

390
00:23:38,519 --> 00:23:43,018
and it just so happens that
the story of Moses in the Bible

391
00:23:43,019 --> 00:23:45,978
is set at exactly the time

392
00:23:45,979 --> 00:23:48,679
that Thutmose
disappears from history.

393
00:23:50,889 --> 00:23:52,768
And we're told in the Bible

394
00:23:52,769 --> 00:23:58,098
that Moses grows up
as the brother

395
00:23:58,099 --> 00:24:02,348
of the prince apparent
to the throne.

396
00:24:02,349 --> 00:24:05,558
In other words,
the historical Thutmose

397
00:24:05,559 --> 00:24:08,809
could be the biblical Moses.

398
00:24:13,639 --> 00:24:16,894
In recent years, a
number of Egyptologists,

399
00:24:16,895 --> 00:24:18,438
like Ahmed Osman,

400
00:24:18,439 --> 00:24:21,558
have proposed theories
similar to Freud's.

401
00:24:21,559 --> 00:24:24,638
Freud realized the similarity

402
00:24:24,639 --> 00:24:29,138
between Akhenaten's religion
and the Jewish religion.

403
00:24:29,139 --> 00:24:33,179
He suggested that after
Akhenaten had left his throne...

404
00:24:53,939 --> 00:24:56,058
Curiously, at the same time

405
00:24:56,059 --> 00:24:58,978
as the Exodus of the Israelites,

406
00:24:58,979 --> 00:25:02,308
it is also recorded
that the followers of Akhenaten

407
00:25:02,309 --> 00:25:05,268
were forced to flee Egypt.

408
00:25:05,269 --> 00:25:08,228
Do the stories
of Moses and Akhenaten

409
00:25:08,229 --> 00:25:11,308
reveal
an extraterrestrial agenda

410
00:25:11,309 --> 00:25:13,848
to alter the course of humanity?

411
00:25:13,849 --> 00:25:18,018
Ancient astronaut
theorists propose that,

412
00:25:18,019 --> 00:25:20,808
much like Akhenaten,
many of the events

413
00:25:20,809 --> 00:25:22,848
surrounding the life of Moses

414
00:25:22,849 --> 00:25:25,269
point to an otherworldly
connection.

415
00:25:31,547 --> 00:25:36,256
The Egyptian Museum.
Cairo, Egypt.

416
00:25:36,257 --> 00:25:40,176
On prominent display
in the King Tutankhamen exhibit

417
00:25:40,177 --> 00:25:44,176
is a wooden chest
covered in gold leaf.

418
00:25:44,177 --> 00:25:48,046
On top of it sits
the statue of a jackal,

419
00:25:48,047 --> 00:25:50,546
the Egyptian god Anubis.

420
00:25:50,547 --> 00:25:54,586
When Howard Carter and his team
began their fifth season

421
00:25:54,587 --> 00:25:59,086
excavating King Tut's tomb
in 1926, they came upon

422
00:25:59,087 --> 00:26:03,466
this unusual shrine guarding the
entrance to the treasury room.

423
00:26:03,467 --> 00:26:07,256
What ancient astronaut theorists
find most intriguing

424
00:26:07,257 --> 00:26:11,216
about this artifact is
its undeniable similarities

425
00:26:11,217 --> 00:26:14,006
with perhaps
the most important sacred object

426
00:26:14,007 --> 00:26:17,126
in all of Judeo-Christian
history:

427
00:26:17,127 --> 00:26:20,376
the Ark of the Covenant.

428
00:26:20,377 --> 00:26:22,416
The Ark of the Covenant
is the central shrine

429
00:26:22,417 --> 00:26:24,086
to ancient Israel.

430
00:26:24,087 --> 00:26:27,046
It's actually a-a box,
a wooden box

431
00:26:27,047 --> 00:26:31,126
made out of acacia wood,
overlaid in gold.

432
00:26:31,127 --> 00:26:35,086
And on the cover are two
mythological beings, cherubs.

433
00:26:35,087 --> 00:26:37,756
There are also rings
on the side of the box

434
00:26:37,757 --> 00:26:41,416
through which poles are placed.

435
00:26:41,417 --> 00:26:43,796
What we have
in Tutankhamen's tomb

436
00:26:43,797 --> 00:26:47,506
is an Egyptian version
of the Ark of the Covenant.

437
00:26:47,507 --> 00:26:52,506
If Prince Thutmoses
was the historical Moses

438
00:26:52,507 --> 00:26:56,466
it would explain why,
when he led the Israelites

439
00:26:56,467 --> 00:27:00,796
out of Egypt into
the Sinai wilderness,

440
00:27:00,797 --> 00:27:05,086
that he got them to make
this Ark of the Covenant.

441
00:27:05,087 --> 00:27:07,046
It is exactly the same
as the item found

442
00:27:07,047 --> 00:27:09,257
in Tutankhamen's tomb.

443
00:27:12,177 --> 00:27:15,006
But what could account
for the similarity between

444
00:27:15,007 --> 00:27:19,336
the Anubis Shrine
and the Ark of the Covenant?

445
00:27:19,337 --> 00:27:21,836
According to the biblical text,

446
00:27:21,837 --> 00:27:25,756
Moses was given instructions for
building the Ark of the Covenant

447
00:27:25,757 --> 00:27:30,376
when he spoke with God
at the top of Mount Sinai.

448
00:27:30,377 --> 00:27:34,546
However, some ancient astronaut
theorists suggest

449
00:27:34,547 --> 00:27:38,627
there is evidence that the Ark
already existed in Egypt.

450
00:27:41,627 --> 00:27:43,916
There's numerous depictions
on the temple walls

451
00:27:43,917 --> 00:27:46,256
that reference a device
that resembles

452
00:27:46,257 --> 00:27:48,006
the Ark of the Covenant.

453
00:27:48,007 --> 00:27:52,546
At the Temple of Seti in
Abydos, in the Osiris Chapel,

454
00:27:52,547 --> 00:27:54,716
we see depicted on the walls

455
00:27:54,717 --> 00:27:58,796
the single most powerful relic
in all of human history.

456
00:27:58,797 --> 00:28:02,586
It's called the Osiris Device.

457
00:28:02,587 --> 00:28:05,916
It functioned
as a stairway to heaven.

458
00:28:05,917 --> 00:28:08,966
What most people don't realize
is that the Osiris Device

459
00:28:08,967 --> 00:28:11,337
was actually the biblical
Arc of the Covenant.

460
00:28:14,047 --> 00:28:16,506
Is it possible
that the Anubis Shrine

461
00:28:16,507 --> 00:28:18,716
found in King Tut's tomb

462
00:28:18,717 --> 00:28:21,716
was a representation
of the Osiris Device,

463
00:28:21,717 --> 00:28:25,006
the Egyptian name for
what would become known

464
00:28:25,007 --> 00:28:27,176
as the Ark of the Covenant?

465
00:28:27,177 --> 00:28:30,836
Could it have originally
belonged to Akhenaten,

466
00:28:30,837 --> 00:28:35,126
and might Moses have taken this
with him when he left Egypt?

467
00:28:35,127 --> 00:28:38,416
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,

468
00:28:38,417 --> 00:28:40,296
and suggest that this object

469
00:28:40,297 --> 00:28:42,717
contained
extraterrestrial technology.

470
00:28:45,917 --> 00:28:48,716
The Bible records
that when the Ark was,

471
00:28:48,717 --> 00:28:51,466
for lack of a better word,
activated,

472
00:28:51,467 --> 00:28:56,756
two sons of the High Priest
Aaron approached it.

473
00:28:56,757 --> 00:28:59,586
And because they were not
properly prepared,

474
00:28:59,587 --> 00:29:04,966
the Bible says a fire came forth
and burned them.

475
00:29:04,967 --> 00:29:09,876
But the legends state
that the nature of this fire

476
00:29:09,877 --> 00:29:14,716
was two beams of light
that actually entered

477
00:29:14,717 --> 00:29:18,416
inside their nostrils
and burned them from within.

478
00:29:18,417 --> 00:29:21,296
Sounds very similar
to what we today understand

479
00:29:21,297 --> 00:29:22,717
as electrocution.

480
00:29:25,797 --> 00:29:27,756
It was said that the Ark
could create lightning,

481
00:29:27,757 --> 00:29:29,756
that the Ark could fly.

482
00:29:29,757 --> 00:29:31,876
We know that
the Ark of the Covenant

483
00:29:31,877 --> 00:29:35,086
is a communication device
between man and God,

484
00:29:35,087 --> 00:29:38,087
because God tells us so
in Exodus.

485
00:29:40,127 --> 00:29:44,796
So was this god
some kind of extraterrestrial?

486
00:29:44,797 --> 00:29:47,546
And was the Ark of the Covenant
some sort of device

487
00:29:47,547 --> 00:29:50,086
that allowed communication

488
00:29:50,087 --> 00:29:55,006
between Moses and Aaron and
some extraterrestrial spaceship

489
00:29:55,007 --> 00:29:56,177
orbiting the Earth?

490
00:29:58,797 --> 00:30:01,176
But if extraterrestrials

491
00:30:01,177 --> 00:30:05,216
directed Moses, and perhaps
Akhenaten before him,

492
00:30:05,217 --> 00:30:09,126
to lead the Israelites towards
a new monotheistic faith,

493
00:30:09,127 --> 00:30:11,257
what motivated them to do so?

494
00:30:13,257 --> 00:30:15,466
What if these alien visitors
didn't want

495
00:30:15,467 --> 00:30:17,836
future generations
of humans to know

496
00:30:17,837 --> 00:30:21,006
that they had intervened
in our development?

497
00:30:21,007 --> 00:30:26,126
If a new monotheistic religion
were to arise,

498
00:30:26,127 --> 00:30:29,876
then people would start
to relegate figures like Amun-Ra

499
00:30:29,877 --> 00:30:33,796
and the all the rest
to the realm of mythology.

500
00:30:33,797 --> 00:30:37,466
The extraterrestrials
could hide our true history

501
00:30:37,467 --> 00:30:41,377
until a time when we were
ready to have it revealed.

502
00:30:44,797 --> 00:30:46,586
Did alien visitors

503
00:30:46,587 --> 00:30:49,676
attempt to change
the course of history,

504
00:30:49,677 --> 00:30:53,336
first through Akhenaten
and then Moses?

505
00:30:53,337 --> 00:30:56,626
And might this be
why a so-called curse

506
00:30:56,627 --> 00:30:58,716
was put on King Tut's tomb,

507
00:30:58,717 --> 00:31:01,966
to hide the clues
that lead to this connection,

508
00:31:01,967 --> 00:31:06,006
until humanity is ready
to know the truth?

509
00:31:06,007 --> 00:31:09,046
Perhaps further answers
can be found

510
00:31:09,047 --> 00:31:12,126
by examining the fate
of the Ark of the Covenant

511
00:31:12,127 --> 00:31:17,257
after the time of Moses,
and the curse that followed it.

512
00:31:26,747 --> 00:31:31,326
Jerusalem, 586 BC.

513
00:31:31,327 --> 00:31:35,986
Roughly 750 years
after the death of Akhenaten,

514
00:31:35,987 --> 00:31:40,616
and the Exodus of Moses
and the Israelites from Egypt,

515
00:31:40,617 --> 00:31:44,486
the Ark of the Covenant
is believed to reside here

516
00:31:44,487 --> 00:31:48,406
in Solomon's Temple,
where it is heavily guarded.

517
00:31:48,407 --> 00:31:52,406
But the city has been
under siege by the Babylonians,

518
00:31:52,407 --> 00:31:57,156
who finally manage to break
through Jerusalem's walls.

519
00:31:57,157 --> 00:32:01,696
In 586 BCE, the Babylonians came

520
00:32:01,697 --> 00:32:04,326
and ultimately destroyed
the Temple of Solomon.

521
00:32:04,327 --> 00:32:06,156
The million-dollar question is:

522
00:32:06,157 --> 00:32:08,366
what happened
to the Ark of the Covenant?

523
00:32:08,367 --> 00:32:11,696
According
to historical accounts,

524
00:32:11,697 --> 00:32:14,536
the Babylonians stole
every treasure they could find

525
00:32:14,537 --> 00:32:17,406
from Solomon's Temple,
but there is no mention

526
00:32:17,407 --> 00:32:19,986
of the Ark of the Covenant.

527
00:32:19,987 --> 00:32:25,406
One story proposes that King
Solomon had a son named Menelik

528
00:32:25,407 --> 00:32:27,406
with the Queen of Sheba,

529
00:32:27,407 --> 00:32:31,616
and that Menelik stole the Ark
and took it to Ethiopia with him

530
00:32:31,617 --> 00:32:35,286
long before
the Babylonians invaded,

531
00:32:35,287 --> 00:32:39,036
hiding it in a small chapel
in the city of Aksum,

532
00:32:39,037 --> 00:32:41,946
where it still resides today.

533
00:32:41,947 --> 00:32:44,156
But many believe

534
00:32:44,157 --> 00:32:47,906
the Ark remained hidden
at the site of Solomon's Temple

535
00:32:47,907 --> 00:32:50,076
long after
the Babylonian invasion,

536
00:32:50,077 --> 00:32:52,486
until it was smuggled
out of Jerusalem

537
00:32:52,487 --> 00:32:56,746
by the ancient order
of the Knights Templar.

538
00:32:56,747 --> 00:33:00,536
The Knights Templar
were a mysterious order

539
00:33:00,537 --> 00:33:04,076
of warrior monks who were formed
in the 12th century.

540
00:33:04,077 --> 00:33:08,246
King Baldwin II of Jerusalem
gave them a wing of a palace

541
00:33:08,247 --> 00:33:11,246
on what we now know
as the Temple Mount.

542
00:33:11,247 --> 00:33:14,946
A number of historians
have speculated

543
00:33:14,947 --> 00:33:18,246
that it was part of
their mandate to do excavations

544
00:33:18,247 --> 00:33:20,406
at Solomon's Temple
in Jerusalem,

545
00:33:20,407 --> 00:33:22,826
and that during
these excavations,

546
00:33:22,827 --> 00:33:26,326
they discovered, in a hidden
chamber, beneath the temple,

547
00:33:26,327 --> 00:33:28,867
a secret room that had
the Ark of the Covenant in it.

548
00:33:30,697 --> 00:33:32,946
Were the Knights Templar

549
00:33:32,947 --> 00:33:36,576
really in possession
of the Ark of the Covenant?

550
00:33:36,577 --> 00:33:39,656
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,

551
00:33:39,657 --> 00:33:42,446
and suggest there is evidence

552
00:33:42,447 --> 00:33:47,617
that, like King Tut's tomb,
it too was protected by a curse.

553
00:33:52,537 --> 00:33:54,536
Ile de la Cité.

554
00:33:54,537 --> 00:33:56,076
Paris, France.

555
00:33:56,077 --> 00:33:59,286
March 18, 1314.

556
00:33:59,287 --> 00:34:04,536
After enduring seven long years
of torture, Jacques de Molay,

557
00:34:04,537 --> 00:34:07,446
the 23rd and final Grand Master
of the Knights Templar,

558
00:34:07,447 --> 00:34:11,036
is executed
by order of King Philip IV

559
00:34:11,037 --> 00:34:14,446
and Pope Clement V.

560
00:34:14,447 --> 00:34:17,696
It's thought that
King Philip really wanted

561
00:34:17,697 --> 00:34:19,616
to get rid of the Templars

562
00:34:19,617 --> 00:34:21,746
so that he could take
their treasure

563
00:34:21,747 --> 00:34:23,866
and pay off his own debts.

564
00:34:23,867 --> 00:34:25,406
But you have to wonder,

565
00:34:25,407 --> 00:34:27,986
did King Philip
and maybe the pope

566
00:34:27,987 --> 00:34:32,286
realize that the Templars
had the Ark of the Covenant now,

567
00:34:32,287 --> 00:34:35,196
and perhaps this is
what they really wanted,

568
00:34:35,197 --> 00:34:37,786
an extraterrestrial device

569
00:34:37,787 --> 00:34:40,696
that was being kept
by the Knights Templar?

570
00:34:40,697 --> 00:34:44,486
Jacques de Molay
gets the last word.

571
00:34:44,487 --> 00:34:47,286
He curses both
the pope, Clement V,

572
00:34:47,287 --> 00:34:49,826
and the king, Philip IV,

573
00:34:49,827 --> 00:34:53,746
directly from the stake
before he dies.

574
00:34:53,747 --> 00:34:56,536
But he doesn't stop there.

575
00:34:56,537 --> 00:34:59,576
Jacques de Molay does not
just curse the king.

576
00:34:59,577 --> 00:35:03,407
He curses the entire line
of the Capetian kings.

577
00:35:05,657 --> 00:35:09,406
Shortly after,
the pope died of a rare disease.

578
00:35:09,407 --> 00:35:14,246
The church where the service
was to be held for the pope

579
00:35:14,247 --> 00:35:16,116
burned down.

580
00:35:16,117 --> 00:35:18,576
The king died,

581
00:35:18,577 --> 00:35:23,616
the house that followed him
lost control of the throne.

582
00:35:23,617 --> 00:35:28,326
All this, shortly after
the Grand Master was executed.

583
00:35:28,327 --> 00:35:32,286
The curse seems
to have come literally true.

584
00:35:32,287 --> 00:35:35,036
Over the course
of the next 14 years,

585
00:35:35,037 --> 00:35:38,786
all three
of King Philip's sons died

586
00:35:38,787 --> 00:35:41,486
and his only grandson died
as well,

587
00:35:41,487 --> 00:35:43,786
ending the Capetian dynasty

588
00:35:43,787 --> 00:35:46,486
exactly as Jacques de Molay
had cursed.

589
00:35:46,487 --> 00:35:48,536
So you have to wonder

590
00:35:48,537 --> 00:35:52,196
if this curse
on King Philip and the pope

591
00:35:52,197 --> 00:35:54,866
was something that came through

592
00:35:54,867 --> 00:35:58,326
the Ark of the Covenant
in some strange way,

593
00:35:58,327 --> 00:36:02,487
and its curse was all about
protecting that device itself.

594
00:36:05,197 --> 00:36:06,906
Is it possible

595
00:36:06,907 --> 00:36:09,406
that the curse placed
upon King Tut's tomb

596
00:36:09,407 --> 00:36:10,986
was also the same one

597
00:36:10,987 --> 00:36:13,786
that protected
the Ark of the Covenant?

598
00:36:13,787 --> 00:36:17,746
And could it be
that the curse has its origins

599
00:36:17,747 --> 00:36:20,537
in an extraterrestrial
intelligence?

600
00:36:22,787 --> 00:36:24,986
When the Knights Templar
were persecuted in France

601
00:36:24,987 --> 00:36:26,656
in the 14th century,

602
00:36:26,657 --> 00:36:29,786
Scotland became
their safe haven.

603
00:36:29,787 --> 00:36:32,286
Some researchers believe

604
00:36:32,287 --> 00:36:35,036
they brought the Ark
of the Covenant with them,

605
00:36:35,037 --> 00:36:38,196
before a Templar
named Henry Sinclair

606
00:36:38,197 --> 00:36:40,536
secretly smuggled it
to the New World,

607
00:36:40,537 --> 00:36:45,326
landing in Nova Scotia in 1398.

608
00:36:45,327 --> 00:36:48,986
Curiously,
a tribe called the Mi'kmaq,

609
00:36:48,987 --> 00:36:51,286
that occupied
this region of Canada

610
00:36:51,287 --> 00:36:53,246
during Sinclair's
alleged expedition,

611
00:36:53,247 --> 00:36:55,866
designed their flag in a manner

612
00:36:55,867 --> 00:36:58,657
that is a mirror image
of the Templar battle flag.

613
00:37:00,827 --> 00:37:03,616
Within this greater
Nova Scotia area,

614
00:37:03,617 --> 00:37:06,826
there are many signs
that the Templars were there.

615
00:37:06,827 --> 00:37:10,866
You have
the Newport, Rhode Island Tower

616
00:37:10,867 --> 00:37:14,486
that is thought to have been
built by the Knights Templar.

617
00:37:14,487 --> 00:37:19,036
You have images of knights
with swords and helmets

618
00:37:19,037 --> 00:37:22,946
that are carved on rocks in
New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

619
00:37:22,947 --> 00:37:27,786
And on Oak Island itself
is a giant cross,

620
00:37:27,787 --> 00:37:33,366
a thousand feet long, that's
made out of six huge boulders.

621
00:37:33,367 --> 00:37:38,406
And the central boulder
looks like a human head,

622
00:37:38,407 --> 00:37:42,866
and it has a sword
carved into the side.

623
00:37:42,867 --> 00:37:45,326
Did the Ark of the Covenant

624
00:37:45,327 --> 00:37:47,986
really end up
buried on Oak Island?

625
00:37:47,987 --> 00:37:50,986
Perhaps further clues
can be found

626
00:37:50,987 --> 00:37:54,076
by examining the curse
that continues

627
00:37:54,077 --> 00:37:56,327
to plague the island
to this day.

628
00:38:03,670 --> 00:38:05,709
Oak Island.

629
00:38:05,710 --> 00:38:07,419
Nova Scotia, Canada.

630
00:38:07,420 --> 00:38:09,169
1803.

631
00:38:09,170 --> 00:38:12,759
Simeon Lynds forms
the Onslow Company,

632
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,379
the first formal organization

633
00:38:15,380 --> 00:38:19,839
dedicated to excavating
the treasure at Oak Island.

634
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,469
Within a year, while digging
in the infamous borehole

635
00:38:23,470 --> 00:38:25,759
known as the Money Pit,

636
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:30,629
they discover an unusual stone
slab at a depth of 90 feet.

637
00:38:30,630 --> 00:38:32,759
When it is brought
to the surface,

638
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,209
the excavators
immediately notice

639
00:38:35,210 --> 00:38:38,129
strange hieroglyphs
of an unknown language

640
00:38:38,130 --> 00:38:39,969
covering the stone.

641
00:38:39,970 --> 00:38:42,589
Shortly after this,

642
00:38:42,590 --> 00:38:45,839
a series of calamities
befall everyone who attempts

643
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,419
to search for the treasure.

644
00:38:49,420 --> 00:38:53,129
There is famously
a curse around Oak Island,

645
00:38:53,130 --> 00:38:55,799
and it is said
that seven people must die

646
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:59,879
before the treasure of
Oak Island will reveal itself.

647
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:03,470
And there have in fact been
tragic deaths on Oak Island.

648
00:39:06,210 --> 00:39:10,129
The island claimed
its first victim in 1861,

649
00:39:10,130 --> 00:39:14,629
when the boiler of a cast-iron
pump and steam engine burst,

650
00:39:14,630 --> 00:39:18,169
scalding one man to death
and injuring others.

651
00:39:18,170 --> 00:39:22,379
In 1897,
Maynard Kaiser was killed

652
00:39:22,380 --> 00:39:24,799
when a hoisting rope
slipped off a pulley,

653
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,169
dropping him down a shaft.

654
00:39:27,170 --> 00:39:33,549
And in 1965, Robert Restall
also fell into a shaft,

655
00:39:33,550 --> 00:39:38,259
after inhaling mysterious fumes
that rendered him unconscious.

656
00:39:38,260 --> 00:39:42,299
His son Bobby and two other men
who attempted a rescue

657
00:39:42,300 --> 00:39:47,130
died along with him,
bringing the death toll to six.

658
00:39:50,590 --> 00:39:52,169
Could this be evidence

659
00:39:52,170 --> 00:39:55,419
that a curse truly exists
on Oak Island?

660
00:39:55,420 --> 00:39:58,129
And might it be connected

661
00:39:58,130 --> 00:40:02,210
to the stone slab that contained
mysterious hieroglyphic writing?

662
00:40:04,470 --> 00:40:06,839
When you look at
the so-called 90-foot stone,

663
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,799
you have to ask yourself:
is this the clue

664
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:13,169
that gets you to understand what
the treasure of Oak Island is?

665
00:40:13,170 --> 00:40:16,129
Or might it be a curse brick

666
00:40:16,130 --> 00:40:19,209
that is actually trying
to protect that secret?

667
00:40:19,210 --> 00:40:21,629
There is
an undeniable similarity

668
00:40:21,630 --> 00:40:24,419
between this brick
that we see at Oak Island

669
00:40:24,420 --> 00:40:27,709
and the curse bricks
that we see in King Tut's tomb.

670
00:40:27,710 --> 00:40:31,049
The Templars chose Oak Island

671
00:40:31,050 --> 00:40:34,969
to bury whatever it is that they
found at the temple in Jerusalem

672
00:40:34,970 --> 00:40:37,049
during the Crusades.

673
00:40:37,050 --> 00:40:38,879
And in my opinion,
what they had discovered

674
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:42,129
was either the complete
Ark of the Covenant

675
00:40:42,130 --> 00:40:44,469
or components of it.

676
00:40:44,470 --> 00:40:46,339
And the Ark of the Covenant,

677
00:40:46,340 --> 00:40:48,379
according to
the ancient astronaut theory,

678
00:40:48,380 --> 00:40:51,169
contained
an extraterrestrial device.

679
00:40:51,170 --> 00:40:54,759
This suggests that
there could be one unified group

680
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:58,469
that is behind Oak Island,
behind King Tut's tomb,

681
00:40:58,470 --> 00:41:01,209
that is protecting
the Ark of the Covenant,

682
00:41:01,210 --> 00:41:05,049
that is protecting
the Egyptian heritage of Moses,

683
00:41:05,050 --> 00:41:07,469
and may in fact
be concealing the truth

684
00:41:07,470 --> 00:41:10,049
of humanity's
extraterrestrial origins.

685
00:41:10,050 --> 00:41:13,509
Could an ancient Egyptian curse

686
00:41:13,510 --> 00:41:16,209
really be guarding
an incredible secret

687
00:41:16,210 --> 00:41:19,509
concerning mankind's
alien origins?

688
00:41:19,510 --> 00:41:22,469
And might proof of that secret

689
00:41:22,470 --> 00:41:26,469
be contained within the
legendary Ark of the Covenant?

690
00:41:26,470 --> 00:41:31,839
There are those who believe
the answer is a profound yes,

691
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:36,129
and that the evidence
lies buried some 160 feet

692
00:41:36,130 --> 00:41:39,509
below a remote island
in Nova Scotia,

693
00:41:39,510 --> 00:41:42,629
and which, like King Tut's tomb,

694
00:41:42,630 --> 00:41:46,339
remains guarded
by a deadly curse,

695
