A mysterious metal object that defies explanation. Very strange. So what does the museum have to say about this? It is a strange piece for us as well. An ancient stone carving that may possess advanced technology. Inside the crystalline structure were great memory chip banks. An extraordinary crystal skull with strange properties. So what are we looking at here?

It seems to be very strong protective energy. On ancient aliens, we've investigated the world's oldest and most incredible relics up close and in person. Now, we take a look back at some of the most mysterious artifacts we've examined all over the globe. Artifacts that, according to ancient astronaut theorists, provide undeniable proof of extraterrestrial contact. 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. This is ancient

astronaut theorist Giorgio Suclos. On ancient aliens, we have examined some of the most mysterious artifacts on earth. Artifacts that I believe offer compelling evidence that our ancestors were visited by exoterrestrials. And that is exactly what I found when I traveled to a museum in Romania with Eric von Danikin to examine one of the most extraordinary relics ever discovered. Transylvania, Romania, 1970.

Workers digging a trench along the banks of the beach Mirrors River unearthed two giant bones and with them a mysterious metal object buried 35 feet beneath the surface the discovery brings the project to a halt as the crew takes their findings to a nearby museum this strange object known today as the wedge of Ayud continues to baffle archaeologists because it is an aluminum alloy that appears to have been made thousands of years before humans were able to smelt or fabricate metal. This is Anna Gruyah, curator of the National Museum

of Transylvania History. It was 10 meters in depth associated with some bones, which they later identified as woolly mammoth bones. If they were contemporary, all of them, then they were in use sometime in the period when Neanderthals roamed the earth, so they were extinct 40,000 years ago, so they must be older than the earth.

that. The wedge was analyzed three times, to my knowledge. The main metal in its composition is aluminum. Michael Dennan, Ph.D., is a physicist from the University of California, Irvine. 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. In January of 2017, ancient astronaut theorist Georgiosuclos and Eric von Danikin were offered a rare opportunity to get a firsthand look at the wedge of Ayud. Museum curator Anna Gruya has taken it out of a storage locker where it has been deliberately hidden from the public since the early 1970s. So this is it? Oh, wow. Okay. It's very high. Chautro.

This is crazy. It's heavy. Wow. This was found at a depth of 10 meters, which is about 30 feet in the ground. But very strange. So what does the museum have to say about this? This is a very strange piece. 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 this. uncertainties about its dating and its composition as well. So for what can you use this? It looks like a hammer or a shuffer but Jocho what is the word of in English Bakerschauvel? Oh an excavator tooth. Well it looks like this it could have been something like it but these excavator tubes are never made out of aluminum. No it's too soft. Yeah. They are made out of steel especially hard steel so it It could not be that.

So we have a real mystery here. But you see this patina over this whole object, and this creates another problem. Yes. And because you cannot fake a patina. It's impossible to artificially create a patina. 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 patea the a 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. Yes, we agree. There are two basic problems.

One, that aluminum was not invented at the age when we presume this was in use. And second, it's the patina, as you noted. Which speaks for the date, for the age of it. So we still have a mystery here. Thank you very much for. were showing us this object because I know that there was a time when nobody knew where it was somewhere in a box in the back, which means present-day archaeology has a problem. And they're

doing magnificent work. But when something like this comes along, you know, we should investigate this and not put it in a box in the back. Definitely. It did depend on mentalities and official position. It isn't currently exhibited. because we have to admit as historians that we do not know more details about it. For us, it's just baffling at this point. But taking the logic further, this conflicting information could have just two solutions so far. One, that it is really not so old, and the context is irrelevant and the patina was somehow produced in special circumstances. So it's a new object strangely preserved, let's say.

And the second option is, of course, that it's not of terrestrial origin. 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. Very bizarre. Bizar. Bizar. I've known about this thing since the early 1990s. And I have to tell you that looking at it in person was a dream come true. And it's a very strange thing.

I mean, how do you explain this? It certainly looks as if it was part of a larger object. The question is, was it a component of a device? Was it a component of something larger? If the wedge of Ayyud really is over 40,000 years old, then who made it? And what was it used for? Some ancient astronaut theorists believe they may have an answer. This is William Henry, author of The Watchers, Lost Secrets of Ascension, Resurrection, and Perfection.

An aeronautical engineer who saw the IUD wedge, looked at it and said, that's a piece of a landing gear for a vertical takeoff and landing. aircraft. Ancient astronaut theorists have also looked at this wedge and surmise that it's possible that it's part of a crashed extraterrestrial craft. Could the wedge of Ayyud really be a remnant of an extraterrestrial craft? Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and they suggest that the truth about these otherworldly visitors can be found half a world away, encoded in stone. Some of the most mysterious artifacts we've investigated on ancient aliens have come in the form of ancient stone statues known as steely. On a recent trip to Copan Honduras, I met with an archaeologist

who showed me some intriguing examples of these mine artifacts that he suggests may have served a technological purpose. October 2019, ancient astronaut theorist Giorgio Suclos travels to Copan Honduras to meet up with renowned Mayan archaeologist David Siddot, who has been involved in the excavation of the site for more than three decades. So David, what are we looking at here? Well, this is the Great Plaza. It's over 100 meters, larger than a football field.

And it's the southern portion of the Great Plaza, where the majority of the great standing stone giants that you'll come to see are located. On the grounds at Copan are dozens of stone statues called steely. The most well known of these were built during the 43-year reign of the ruler Washaklahon Ubukawi, better known by the nickname 18 Rabbit. What do the glyphs say about this particular statue or Stella here? This is all a representation of the 13th ruler who we have nicknamed 18 Rabbit and they show him taking on the persona of the high god of Copan, Chanthea Howe,

who was a sky god, a supreme being. And the motifs on his headdress and other attributes show that he is a sky deity. This is amazing to me because here we have not only a statue depicting something, which is a picture, a carved picture, but on the sides we have writing, glyphs carved. that speak of a sky deity. Now, when I look at something like this, I'm immediately reminded of misunderstood technology

because imagine if a people who are intelligent, yet their technological frame of reference from a thousand or two thousand years ago, we have to admit, was primitive, not their intelligence, their technological frame of reference. Of course, let me just add to that, that everything shows his connectedness of the cosmos and this living space of mankind in all of its senses.

And by the way, I have seen that headdress right there elsewhere on planet Earth, and that is in Mesopotamia. So the fact that we have these examples worldwide leads me to think that it was a flesh and blood extraterrestrial whom our ancestors misinterested interpreted as being God. Why? Because they came from the sky.

Arthur C. Clark said it best when he said, any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Imagine showing your great-great-grandfather your smartphone. Right. That's right. All of a sudden, you've become a magician, a wizard. When we talk about technology, I imagine some day, in the future that the technology will be such

that we'll be able to scan this steely here and receive the resonances that are inside the crystalline structure of the stone. In other words, that these were great memory chip banks. Wow, okay. And in the appropriate algorithm, we could peel back into time by hearing the sights and sounds and everything

that happened in this sacred space and maybe answer some of the questions that you are posing. Is it possible that these Mayan stone giants were designed in such a way as to be able to digitally store valuable data? This is Nova Spivak, CEO of magical technologies. We've learned a lot about how ancient civilizations understood our solar system and their world. These civilizations had advanced technologies for working with stone and metal. and in some cases crystals. We still don't know how they did what they did. It's reasonable that given these monuments exist,

that we should analyze them to see if there's other layers of information encoded in them. Here is David Childress, author of Technology of the Gods. If these statues were, in fact, devices that had recorded information, you wonder if we have also Also some evidence here from the statues of Copan that extraterrestrials are coming to this planet. Could the ancient stone giants of Copan really be encoded with precious information about the ancient world? And if so, might they also hold evidence of extraterrestrial contact? As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, the answer is a profound yes.

And to prove their point, they believe that one of the keys can be found by examining the elaborate carvings located what is referred to as Steelers C. The same one that David Siddot considers the most incredible. The inscription on this side starts a 20-year period equivalent to December 5 is 7-Eleven. And midnight on that night, the Milky Way was standing precisely straight up in the tropical sky here. The text goes on to say that this also happened 4,600 years before and very strong implication that he was as well, like on that night, witnessing this celestial event. Witnessing the event. Is it possible the ruler depicted on the stila, known as 18 Rabbit, was able to observe an astronomical event that occurred more than 4,000 years?

years before his time. So now here, this guy has a beard. Well, yes, this is still 18 rabbit, but he's achieved great age, great wisdom, telling us that he is witnessing this astronomical conjunction of the Milky Way two million years ago. Two million years ago. So is this... And he witnessed it. Now, he witnesses this astronomical conjunction of the Milky Way, two million years ago. two million years in the future.

As well. As well. That's extraordinary. These stones have to be seen as the supernatural personas that can travel in time simultaneously backwards and forwards. You've just blown my mind. Supernatural personas that can travel through time. If the statues of Copan were really,

really created as a means of storing valuable ancient knowledge, as ancient astronaut theories suggest. Then how and why did that knowledge come to be lost, along with the keys needed to unlock their secrets? Perhaps the answers can be found by examining another group of mysterious stones that may have extraterrestrial origins. Many of the mysterious artifacts we've investigated on ancient aliens are, in my opinion, objects that our ancestors created to document encounters with otherworldly beings. But every now and then we have come across an artifact that may itself be of extraterrestrial origin. In 2019, David Childres got the rare opportunity to scientifically test strange stones that are unlike anything we've ever found on planet Earth.

Sierra Leone, Africa, the early 1990s. As civil war rages across the country, rebels began forcing villagers to mine so-called blood diamonds. But from deep within the Earth, emerges a vast treasure they weren't expecting. They discover mysterious figures ranging from five to ten inches tall, often with reptilian or amphibian features, Feudian features known as Nomoli.

They're very strange statues. Some are clay, some are of granite or limestone. They are humans and human figures with lizard heads. There are hundreds of them. According to legend, the Noboli represent sky gods. When they fell from the heavens, part of the sky turned to stone and rained down with them. Curiously, strange blue stones can be found buried with many of the nominally figurines.

These strange blue stones called sky stones have been found with the statues. And at first, archaeologists thought, okay, it's just blue stones. But when they analyzed it, they couldn't figure out how these had been made, too. Although the people in Sierra Leone felt that they were actually pieces of the blue sky that fell with the nominally. If these mysterious blue stones are really connected to the legend of the sky turning to stone and raining down on Earth with the arrival of the nominally, what could they be? Seattle, Washington, March 6, 2019.

In search of further evidence that the nominally statues may have an extraterrestrial connection, ancient astronaut theorist David Childeris has arranged to meet up with sky stone collector, and researcher Jared Collins. Jared has in his possession a number of the mysterious blue stones that were found near the statues. So how was it that these stones were actually discovered in modern times?

This was actually discovered in 1991 by a man named David Ledbetter. He was in Sierra Leone on a mining concession looking for golden diamonds. And when he was having his crew dig, occasionally these stones were to put up. What do other geologists say about stones like this? Are they able to identify them?

We've sent these now to 12 different labs. There is not one piece of consensus in here. Everybody has a different opinion. We still don't know, actually, if these are natural or man-made. So maybe it's from another planet? I don't know. I really wish I did, and I would love a chance to actually be able to get this in front of somebody else who could look at it again.

I've got some friends at the University of Washington, and I think we can set this up and have another test done. That would be fantastic. I would love to get some consensus on this to understand what this actually is. While tests conducted on the stones found with the nominally statues have so far produced conflicting and sometimes even confounding results, David is eager to have them tested for himself. At the University of Washington, David and Jared meet with renowned geologist, Professor Peter Ward. Well, well, well, what are these beauties? We have been through many tests on these,

and no one cannot identify them. They cannot tell us whether these are natural or artificial, what's causing the blue color, if this is ancient or modern. So they've been checked for the common blue minerals I take it. One thing that we know for sure is that this is not turquoise, this is not lapis, this is not aronite.

The fact that it's so unbelievably light really suggests that there's an organic component to it. Anything that goes blue generally is much heavier. So this is really a mystery. I should mention also that this only comes from one very specific part, from one very specific village. It has never been found anywhere else in the world. Well, let's do a test that removes any doubt about them being partly organic. So Aaron is going to take this rock and she's going to scrape it into these tiny little tin cups.

The tin cups themselves will load into our mass spectrograph. They will then be heated to a thousand degrees degrees of, centigrade, everything inside will combust and turn to gas, and those individual gas molecules will then be sampled and we can examine if there are any truly organic molecules in this rock. Was there some life process that was involved in his formation? David and Jared return home to wait for the results. When Dr. Ward receives them two weeks later, he sends an email to David, remarking that what the scientists found was so strange,

they ran the tests three times thinking it was a machine error and added, this gives me the creeps. To learn more, David contacted Dr. Ward through video chat. Hi, Dr. Ward. So I wanted to learn about the results. Yeah, it was pretty cool. I mean, it was much stranger than we thought. There really seems to be some sort of organic aspect to this.

It's got element nitrogen in it in really high concentrations. Having this high amount of nitrogen puts it into a, wow, that's a very peculiar rock category. We were looking for a possible extraterrestrial origin. Is it possibly a meteorite or even part of a spaceship that exploded? Let's just say that there's a possibility that it came from off the earth. As we scientists say, it's worth more studies. Although the skystones are still a mystery, David and Jared have confirmed that they are unlike any other stone ever examined.

Could they have arrived on Earth with the strange beings that are depicted in the nominally statues? Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and claim that further evidence of extraterrestrial visitation in the distant past can be found in one of the most remote places in the world. On ancient aliens, we have traveled around the world to get a closer look at mistake. artifacts and sometimes we find evidence of alien contact hiding in plain sight. This is exactly what happened when David Chiljus and I traveled to the remote Marquesas islands and were shown an ancient statue that as far as we were concerned clearly represents something very different from what mainstream scholars suggest.

The South Pacific Ocean June 2018. Ancient astronaut theorist Giorgio Suclos and David Childress are in the Marquis Islands, investigating potential evidence that this remote part of the world was once inhabited by extraterrestrial visitors. As their local guide, they have enlisted Hiva-Oa resident, Himata Bono, who will show them some of the mysterious sculptures found on the island, known as Tiki's. These statuaries represent the ancestral gods and goddesses. that came to the islands in ancient times. So what are we looking at here? What is this?

This is Makhii Tau-O-P-Pi, a goddess of fertility. Down the belly, you can see a symbol. For the archaeolog, they think it's dogs. For me, it's wrong, it's more a llama. Oh, it totally looks like a llama. So the llama is from Inca tribes. I totally think this looks like a llama.

I mean, there's no question in my mind. And I also don't think that this was altered. This is original. And I don't see any changes. So either this is not authentic or if it is authentic, it's a llama and it proves connection to South America. South America, is it possible that the llama, believed to be native to South America, was known to people living on this remote island chain some 3,500 miles away? But how? Some people say that it's a woman giving birth.

Yes. Do the women here on the Marquesas Islands? Do they do this? They lie on their stomach and give birth? No. No. Perhaps what we're looking at here is some type of a craft, because you have the windows in the front,

which are these giant goggles, and then you have the mouth in the front, which to me looks like some type of an air intake. Underneath, you have a lifting body, lifting body that goes underneath the entire body. And if you combine that with the story of this object or this woman giving birth, if someone has never seen passengers disembarking from an actual airplane,

if they have no idea what is happening, well, all of a sudden, a flying vehicle is giving birth to people. Is it possible that this ancient statue that has been interpreted in modern times as a fertility goddess is actually depicting an extraterrestrial spacecraft. I think that Tiki's are nothing else but misunderstood technology that over time turned into divine objects of magic and sorcery. This is a female Tiki, but you have another Tiki family. More important just up the site. Can we go look at it? Yes.

Great. Oh, wow. Clearly, this Tiki, the head is missing. But I see that it has six fingers. Yes, it's amazing, eh? It's mysterious just today. It's for that reason. The archaulogue, no finger.

What's that, huh? It's very feasible to me that they actually try to imitate whoever visited or whoever came here to impart this knowledge. Why would they carve six fingers if they did not see? six fingers. So we should not say, oh, this is just fantasy. I think they saw someone with six fingers. Is that possible? Yeah.

Yeah. It's possible. Yes. Yeah. So this is Taka'i-Ii. Taka-I is a god of power. He's a protector for the tribe here. So these are protectors? Yes. From outside, from other people to came to the land.

Could it be that the mysterious statues and carvings found throughout the Marquesas islands were made to commemorate extraterrestrial visitation. Ancient astronaut theorists say, yes, and suggest further evidence of alien contact can be found by examining strange skulls, made of crystal. Of the many mysterious artifacts we've investigated on ancient aliens, some of the most jaw-dropping are the crystal skulls. Crystal skulls have been found all around the world, and some of them have been found all around the world, and some of them have been carved with such extraordinary precision that, in my opinion,

they must have been created with some type of advanced technology. In 2013, David Childress got to examine the largest crystal skull ever discovered. Nicknamed Einstein, it is believed to be the largest ancient crystal skull yet discovered. Its owner, Carolyn Ford, says she obtained the 33-pound crystal object more than 20 years ago from an explorer who discovered it in Mexico in the early 1900s. She was unaware that it possessed any strange abilities, until the day when, she claims, it actually communicated with her. It was revealed to me by Einstein.

The moment that I got him, when I knew nothing about crystal skulls, he said, I'm an ancient computer. In fact, I'm a master computer, and we record everything, like a live feed 24-7, and that's our purpose. He's been recording history on this planet since the beginning of time, so indeed he was in Atlantis. A lot of the ancient crystal skulls have been in Atlantis, and even before that time. the so-called Einstein skull really be an artifact from the lost civilization of Atlantis as its owner claims?

Sedona, Arizona, 2013. Ancient astronaut theorist David Childeris enlist the help of aura photography expert Jamie Jones in an effort to test the Einstein skull for unusual energy pulses or oras. These oras are believed to appear as colors that that correspond to various physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual states. With aura technology, we're able to use biofeedback imaging

to pick up electromagnetic energy field around the human body. I'm not expecting any energy to be coming out of the inanimate object. So I'm a little skeptical in that I'm not sure what to expect when I photograph the skull. And I've been told a lot of things about skulls as far as information that they're holding, what civilizations they're from, or if they're actually

from the extraterrestrials. So I'm kind of excited to see this particular skull and what it emits. Hi, Jamie. Hi. So what do we do? These are biofeedback sensors, and they're going to be reading the energy

if there's energy around the skull. So you're going to place it on here for me. So it has to go on both of the two sensors? Yes, because both sensors are picking up energy. So we want as much coverage as possible. OK, that's perfect. All right. And now you just take a photo.

We're going to take a picture. All right. And here is the aura of the skull. OK. Wow. Amazing. So what are we looking at here? I mean, here we can see the skull.

It seems to be a very strong warrior-type protective energy. And if you look closely, that energy is arced over. Literal arc of protection over the skull. Now, the blue that we see throughout the entire picture is wisdom and knowledge from traveling many lifetimes and many dimensions. I was surprised, really, that the aura would pick up so much energy from the skull and the different colors.

Some people believe that crystal skulls have electro-radio wave type energy that emits from them, and that the skull can actually communicate to people through this energy. And it seems that aura photography can actually pick up, and we can see these waves that are being emitted from the skull. I feel more than ever there is something to crystal skulls and the energy behind them. Does the photographed energy field surrounding Einstein help to prove that the crystal skull could, in fact, be some sort of recording device? An extraterrestrial object used to harness both energy and information. Although there have been hundreds of other crystal skulls found throughout the world, the Einstein skull is believed to be one of

only 13 authentic ancient artifacts. And according to legend, when all 13 are finally unearthed, humankind's true past will be revealed. Part of this legend is that, yes, these 13 crystal skulls are extraterrestrial skulls. And when the 13 skulls are together, it'll create a new epic for planet Earth. There is certainly a belief among certain Native American tribes,

when humanity is at its most desperate, All of these original ancient crystal skulls will come back together and that they will divulge their knowledge, their wisdom that can help the human race survive. Could these mysterious crystal artifacts not only be of alien origin, but serve a purpose that is yet to be revealed? Ancient astronaut theorists say, yes, and suggest further proof that extraterrestrials visited. ancient cultures all over the world, can be found by examining a mysterious Middle Eastern artifact, discovered in South America. Any list of mysterious artifacts would be incomplete without featuring the amazing relics of Tijuanau, Bolivia.

Of all the astounding objects we've examined from there on ancient aliens, one of the most baffling is the Fuente Magna Bowl. This beautiful piece of pottery is covered in an ancient script that is not a very important native not to Bolivia, but to a culture that existed on the other side of the world. Tijuana, Bolivia, situated at an elevation of over 12,000 feet on the Altaplano, lay the ruins of an ancient temple complex, thought to predate the Incan Empire. Standing at the center of the site is a large statue, believed by many to represent the creator god Viracocha.

But curiously, the inhabitants of Tijuanau chose to depict this god with features unlike their own. He has got a beard and a mustache, and that is an unusual thing because American Indians do not have beards and mustaches. Exactly. That indicates that this person was not a South American native,

but clearly came from another land. And an important person, too. who's somehow one of the founders here of Tijuana, maybe even somebody who's come from Sumeria to South America. Is it possible that the Sumerians, a civilization established in 4,000 BC, and located nearly 8,000 miles away, could be connected to the early inhabitants of Tijuanau?

If so, how? Ancient astronaut theorists believe the answer can be found at the Precious metals museum in La Paz, Bolivia. This is perhaps one of the most important archaeological artifacts ever discovered at Tijuanau or Puma Punku. This is the famous Fuente Magna Bowl discovered near Tijuanau. It's a ceramic bowl, and it has written on it, Sumerian cuneiform, plus proto-Sahmarian hieroglyphic script. This script is coming from circa 3000 BC. It draws a direct connection between the ancient Sumerians and Tijuanau and Puma Punku.

Discovered near Lake Titicaca by a local farmer in the 1950s, researchers believe the vessel provides the proof of extraterrestrial intervention at Puma Punku. The idea of Sumerian writing being here at Puma Punku and Tijuanau would seem to relate to the late Zachariah Sitchin and his ideas that the Sumerians were also interacting with these space beings called the Anunaki. So in that case, the Anunaki were there in Sumeria, but also here at Pumopunku and Tijuana in South America, in South America.

To me, when you consider the many mysterious artifacts we've examined on ancient aliens, from bizarre metal alloys to strange statues, and even crystal skulls, it all adds up to one thing, undeniable evidence of extraterrestrial visitation. As we continue to dig deeper and unearth more extraordinary relics of the past, perhaps we will finally discover the key to reuniting with our alien ancestors.
