Ancient Aliens

A mysterious, ancient symbol,

with connections to the heavens.

We see this unusual keyhole shape

as decoration for these gods.

It appears in mystic texts.

The Secret Seal of Solomon has that interesting shape.

It was incorporated in sacred architecture.

If you look at this from above...

...it’s this keyhole shape,

and that to me is fascinating.

I am literally wowed by this.

And it exists all over the planet.

Why is that there are so many cultures that use

the keyhole shape around the world?

Is there some commonality to all of this?

Could this cryptic symbol represent a connection

to beings that came to Earth thousands of years ago?

We were visited by beings from outer space.

And they left clues on this planet Earth.

There is an extraterrestrial message

inside this keyhole shape.

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.

Waterford, Virginia.

2013.

Cydonia Institute researcher George Haas is combing through

images of Mars when something catches his eye.

A large formation protruding from the surface of the planet

that displays extraordinary symmetry.

He is struck by the fact

that there are no other large geographical features

around it,

and it has the distinct shape of a keyhole.

When you initially look at it,

it looks like something that someone made.

So, when scientists are looking for signs of activity

on another planet, they’re looking for structural symmetry,

determining if this is possibly just something nature made

or something that humans or extraterrestrials

had a hand in.

What we’re seeing on Mars could be evidence

of intelligent design

by some unknown extraterrestrial culture.

The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter

took amazing detailed maps

of pretty much the whole surface of Mars.

And there are some anomalous pictures.

It’s very much worth humanity’s while to travel there

and find out for sure, are these artificial or not?

Could it be that this strangely symmetrical formation on Mars

is really an artificial structure,

built by an extraterrestrial race?

For ancient astronaut theorists,

what makes this image even more intriguing

is the fact that strikingly similar man-made structures

exist here on Earth.

Osaka, Japan.

Today, this bustling metropolis

is famous as one of Japan’s cultural centers

of food, fashion and finance.

But in its southern suburb of Sakai

lies an ancient and mysterious monument:

a megalithic tomb called Daisen Kofun.

It rises up 35 feet above the surrounding area

and is 1,600 feet long

and 980 feet wide,

and it’s encircled by three moats,

making the entire edifice cover a space

of five million square feet.

You can only really appreciate what it represents

by going up into the air,

looking down on it, because you then see

that it’s an enormous keyhole shape.

The Daisen Kofun is merely the largest

of more than 160,000 kofuns that dot Japan.

There are hundreds of these tombs,

built between around 300 AD to around 600 AD...

...all over Japan.

So what were these?

Were these really just tombs built for emperors and kings,

or were they something else altogether?

The keyhole shape can only be seen from the air.

And we’re told that the ancient Japanese did not have a means

of getting into the sky to appreciate this shape.

So there’s a great mystery here about why the keyhole shape?

Some researchers suggest that the purpose of the keyhole shape

can be traced back to the first kofun ever built.

The first of these tombs is associated

with the first historical Japanese emperor,

Emperor Sujin,

in whose record in the book of ancient mythology, the Kojiki,

a keyhole of a door actually also plays an important part.

According to the story in the Kojiki,

a young woman becomes impregnated by a powerful god

who comes to her room through a keyhole,

then gives birth to semi-divine children.

Another story from the same text tells

that the Japanese royal family are all descendants

of Amaterasu, who came from the celestial plane.

So, what’s the deal here?

Why do we have these stories of someone coming from the sky?

They also describe them as having come down

from their celestial palace, which is called Takamagahara.

It’s right there.

Our ancestors did not have words

for extraterrestrials or aliens

or any other creature coming from another planet,

because it didn’t exist at the time.

So you’ve got to wonder

if these keyhole-shaped kofun

aren’t something that were actually designed

by extraterrestrials.

There’s something about that shape, it has meaning.

Are these sites signaling somebody

who is apparently in the sky?

Is it possible that the design of the Japanese kofuns

was inspired by contact with otherworldly visitors?

As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned,

this symbol may offer an important clue

about alien intervention in Earth’s distant past.

And as further evidence of its significance,

they point to much more recently discovered

keyhole-shaped structures

that were also made to be seen from above.

Khaybar, Saudi Arabia.

May 2017.

An archaeological team conducting an aerial survey

of the Saudi Arabian desert

makes an extraordinary discovery:

a series of mysterious stone structures.

Among them are 19 formations in the shape of keyholes,

formed by walls roughly three feet high.

These were keyhole-shaped kind of enclosures

built of quite large stones

and earth, and there were hundreds of them

across the landscape.

And they’re thought to be thousands of years old,

but no one knows who built them.

No one knows why they were there,

but they have this sacred symbol of the keyhole as the design.

So the keyhole shape is a combination

of the triangle and the circle,

and the circle is often a representation of the Sun

and the Moon and other heavenly objects,

whereas the triangle shape is really the pyramid shape,

and that is a representation of the Earth.

So it really could be a representation

linking heaven and Earth.

Scientific testing of the materials

made to build these enclosures

dates them to roughly 6500 BC.

Could it be that they are somehow related

to the keyhole-shaped kofuns

that were built in Japan thousands of years later?

Curiously, a keyhole design can be found at ancient sites

belonging to numerous different cultures,

and all over the world.

This shape is present in the Incan ruins of Moray

in Peru,

the Temple of the Foliated Cross in Palenque, Mexico,

the Hopi kivas in the American Southwest,

and the 10,000-year-old burial mounds

in Tassili n’Ajjer, Algeria.

Why is it that there are so many cultures

that use the keyhole shape around the world?

Is there some commonality to all of this?

Even though they are thousands of miles apart?

I would say that we have to look towards human consciousness.

And the commonality of symbols.

Since ancient times there have been keys and locks.

The keyhole is what can unlock a portal to another place,

an unseen place,

so it has a ritual and symbolic significance.

We are aware that there are things we do not know,

that there are energies that affect human life

and all other life that we are still learning,

just barely beginning to grasp.

So the keyhole image symbolically represents

the possibility that such gateways can be opened.

Could the keyhole symbol

carry a profound message for humanity?

Was this shape repeated at ancient sites

across the globe so that future generations

would notice it and attempt to understand it?

Perhaps further clues can be found

by examining the connection

between the keyhole shape and the ancient gods.

Khonsu has a pendant with a keyhole on it.

January 2018.

Archaeologists digging in this city,

located in the heart of the Nile River Delta,

uncover the remains of an ancient settlement.

Among the fragments of statues,
