Ancient Aliens

An ancient hammer of an incredible age.

The hammer was found in sandstone.

It takes about 140 million years to form.

Who was here 140 million years ago?

Strange figures of unknown origin.

The Sanxingdui humanoid statues have really striking features

that are unlike anything that has ever been excavated.

A sophisticated computing device recovered from

a 2,000-year-old shipwreck.

They actually said it was like finding a jet plane

in the tomb of King Tut.

Throughout the world, artifacts have been found

that defy explanation.

Is it possible that they were purposely left behind

by alien visitors?

All these so-called impossible artifacts

that have been found worldwide all of a sudden become

very possible if you take into consideration

the extraterrestrial question.

There is a doorway in the universe...

Beyond it is the promise of truth.

It demands we question everything

we have ever been taught.

The evidence is all around us.

The future is right before our eyes.

We are not alone.

We have never been alone.

Cape Canaveral, Florida,

February 21, 2019.

SpaceX, a private aerospace company,

launches a Falcon 9 rocket carrying an Israeli spacecraft

called the Beresheet lander, destined for the Moon.

Within the lander is a digital time capsule

called the Arch Lunar Library,

containing over 30 million pages of data,

including a full copy of the English-language Wikipedia.

The Lunar Library is a multi-billion-year artifact

that we designed to send a message

of our civilization’s history

to whoever inhabits our solar system

in the deep future.

The Lunar Library contains 30 million pages

of human history, culture, knowledge, art, science.

On April 11th, seven weeks after the launch,

the lander reaches its destination.

But as it descends towards the lunar surface,

Beresheet’s gyroscope fails,

and the main engine shuts off,

causing the lander to crash on the Moon.

While the lander is likely destroyed,

its cargo, the Lunar Library,

was built to be nearly indestructible,

and is thought to have survived.

We used quartz crystal. That is incredibly durable.

It can last 14 billion years.

There are 25 different layers.

The top four layers consist of 60,000 analog images

of pages of text, photos.

Below that are 21 layers of digital information.

The analog layers teach important information

to get the digital information off the deeper layers.

Storing this record of human history on the Moon

means that once-- If and when our planet is destroyed,

something happens and all of our records are wiped out,

there is something in a place that has stood the test of time

for four billion years.

In addition to providing a record of humanity

that will survive for potentially billions of years,

the project has another less conventional motivation.

We were interested in retracing the steps

of potential ancient aliens.

If there were ancient aliens, and they were preserving

a message for us to find, what would they have done?

For ancient astronaut theorists,

the mission is a milestone event,

and one that is long overdue.

As far as they are concerned,

what humans have now undertaken with the Lunar Library

is exactly what extraterrestrials did on Earth

thousands of years ago.

The question is always, well, where is the evidence?

Where is the evidence?

Well, all you have to do is open your eyes.

It’s everywhere!

Throughout the world, countless mysterious artifacts

have been discovered that defy any conventional explanation.

And while skeptics may insist that proof of alien visitation

could only come in the form of some highly advanced

technology, ancient astronaut theorists suggest

even the most mundane items can serve as evidence.

In fact, in 1936,

a local couple in London, Texas were walking along a creek

when they came upon one of the most puzzling ancient artifacts

ever found... a hammer.

It was a prehistoric hammer, if you will,

with part of the handle still in place

inside some very old rock.

And part of the handle actually is starting

to go through a process called "coalification."

It’s where you have inorganic material

and organic material changing into coal.

Now, how old is this hammer?

The hammer itself was found in the Travis formation.

It’s a concretion of sandstone.

And it usually takes about 140 million years

for this to form.

Who was here 140 million years ago?

Modern-day archeology suggests that we’ve only been around

for about 10,000 years,

so this falls into the category of

out-of-place artifacts.

Around the world, there are so-called

out-of-place artifacts

commonly referred to as "OOPArts".

And those OOPArts are challenging

mainstream archeology because they do not fit into

the accepted chronology of what mainstream science says.

Could a 140 million year old hammer

really have been discovered in Texas?

Skeptics argue that the couple who came upon this hammer

must have been mistaken about where they found it.

But could there be so-called impossible artifacts

whose authenticity is beyond question?

Egypt, Valley of the Kings.

November, 1922.

British archeologists Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon

discover what will prove to be

one of the most important finds in the history of Egyptology:

the tomb of King Tutankhamun.

To this day, it is considered the best preserved

and most intact tomb ever discovered

in the Valley of the Kings.

And within it, a very puzzling artifact was found.

While they’re unpacking Tut’s mummy,

they discover these incredible daggers.

One of them had an iron blade with a gold handle

and a crystal knob on it.

This is two centuries before Egypt

is supposed to have had the ability

to manipulate iron in this way.

In 2016, new tests were done on this dagger,

and it was confirmed that this is not just iron,

this is meteoric iron.

This iron came from the stars.

Anybody who has ever worked with meteorites, even today,

will tell you it’s very difficult to do this

because of the high nickel content.

It makes the metal very brittle.

And a technique known as folding, or stacking,

has to be done in order to strengthen it,

or else it’ll crack and fracture.

So the metal has to be heated up to about 2,000 degrees,

and then folded and hammered, folded and hammered.

But the dagger doesn’t display the telltale signs of folding,

which is usually the striations that run through the metal.

So how was this blade made?

According to their texts,

the knowledge of how to work with metal

was given to the Egyptians by the god Ptah.

Ptah was the Egyptian god

of smithcraft and alchemy.

He came from the star Sirius. He had green skin.

Is it possible that this incredible dagger

has some sort of an extraterrestrial connection?

Could it be that seemingly commonplace objects,

like an ancient dagger and a hammerhead,

are extraterrestrial artifacts?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and suggest that

hidden away in a museum storage room

is an even more compelling out-of-place artifact

that is being purposely kept out of public view.

Transylvania, Romania, 1974.

Workers digging a trench along the bank of the Mures River

make an unexpected find 35 feet underground:

two massive bones belonging to a woolly mammoth,

an animal that went extinct 40,000 years ago.

But even more surprising is that embedded in the hardened sand

encasing the bones is a mysterious metal object.

One that would have to be at least as old

as the bones themselves.

When the metal is examined,

it is found to be an aluminum alloy.

Except it can’t be, because humans did not learn to smelt

or fabricate aluminum until the middle of the 19th century.

The Wedge of Aiud, as it would become known,

is sent to the National Museum of Transylvanian History.

And because it cannot be explained,

it is quickly removed from public view.

The Wedge of Aiud was not really on display

for a long time because

it’s a puzzling artifact for us,

and that’s why we don’t really know how to interpret it.

In my view, this object could have just two solutions so far.

One, that it is really not so old,

and it’s a new object strangely preserved, let’s say.

And the second option is, of course,

that it’s not of terrestrial origin.

How do you explain this?

It doesn’t deserve to be in an unmarked box.

Just because we don’t know how to explain something away
