Puma Punku. They are sites sacred to millions of people, and they are all built atop the ruins of structures that are far more ancient. Some of the most iconic temple sites around the world are built on the exact same location as former temples, and the question is why? What compelled early humans to build and rebuild in the same place again and again? It seems they were not only doing it for practical purposes, but also for religious and spiritual reasons.

Are there locations on Earth that hold special power? The local population say it was not us who built this. It was the gods. And might we find that they were once occupied by extraterrestrials? There is no question in my mind that these are much older sites than we think and that they were spots for extraterrestrial communication a long, long time ago. 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. Kusko, Peru, nestled in a high river valley of the Andes Mountains, among peaks towering over 20,000 feet. This once great city served as the capital of the Inca Empire from the 13th to 16th centuries AD. In 1533, Spanish conquistadors arrived in Kusko and were astonished by the incredible stonework found at the site just north of the city called Soxse Woman. This is Brian Forster, author of Balbeck Lebanon, Megaliths of the Gods.

Above the city of Kusko, we find the megalithic site and huge ceremonial Inca complex called Saxe-Wamah. Its most prominent feature is a zigzag wall of three levels. Some of the stones there weigh as much as 125 tons and were removed from the quarry at least three miles away. Here is ancient astronaut theorist. Giorgio Sukkilos. Saksa Huma Man is one of the most beautiful ancient structures you will ever see in your life. There are massive, gigantic, megalithic blocks, and you find the most amazing of masonry style where you can't even fit a dollar bill in between the fittings of any of the blocks.

Soxay women serve both as a fortress and a ceremonial center, a circular structure that lies within the megalithic walls called Mayuk Marca was the base of a tower where the Inca worshipped the sun god, Enti. However, many experts suggest that while the Inca certainly utilized this megalithic structure, they were not the ones to build it. Standard belief is that the Inca constructed Saxe Waman less than a thousand years ago.

But some of the earliest Spanish chronicles, it has said that the Spanish were completely astounded by seeing this site and they asked the local Inca, did you build it? And the Inca replied, no, this was here when we arrived 500 years ago. Many experts believe Soxaywoman predates the Inca by thousands of years and that the Inca built on top of what came before. The Inca were a Bronze Age civilization and the stones at Soxeywaman are metamorphose limestone, which is much harder than bronze, and could not be cut or shaped using bronze tools.

Inca built on top, because you can tell a major difference between megalithic construction, where the stones fit perfectly together, and the Inca, which is stones piled on top of stones, with mortar as filler. But if Sox-A-woman really does predate the Inca, as the Inca themselves claimed, How could an earlier civilization have possessed far superior technology? The ancient Inca talk about celestial beings who descended from the sky a long time ago and imparted the first knowledge of anything toward people of Earth. The ancient astronaut theory suggests it was human beings who built Saxo-Human,

but under the tutelage of the exterrestrials. Is it possible that the astonishing megalithic stonework at Soxaywomen was achieved with the help of alien technology, as ancient astronaut theorists suggest? And if so, might the Inca have built on top of it and established it as a piece of worship, because they were somehow aware of this? Soxay Waman is only one of many places where ancient civilizations have felt compelled to repeatedly build their most sacred sites. In fact, there are locations all around the world where successive cultures have rebuilt over and over again. This is Andrew Collins, author of Gobeckley-Tepe, Genesis of the Gods. This has been going on since the end of the last Ice Age with places like Gobbeckli-Teppe in southeast Turkey, where the oldest and most sophisticated monuments were built first on the bedrock and then

eventually they would be covered over and a new structure, a new enclosure built on top of them. William Henry is an author and investigative mythologist. Some of the most iconic temple sites around the world from Balbeck and Lebanon to the Temple of Horset at Edfu in Egypt are built on the exact same location as former temples that were reputed to be there. And the question is why? It is not uncommon for people to repurpose an old structure or rebuild on its foundation for practical purposes. But what ancient astronaut theorists find intriguing is how the most sacred sites tend to remain sacred over thousands of years. And of all the places in the world where this phenomenon is found, perhaps there is none more universally revered than the 35-acre platform in Jerusalem, known as Temple Mount.

Here is author and researcher Kathleen McGowan. The Temple Mount is arguably the most important spiritual site in the world. All three of the primary monotheistic religions have a connection to the events of history that occurred on top of the Temple Mount. Amir Hussein, Ph.D. is a professor of theological studies at Loyola Merrimount University. It's believed that is this the stone from which the world originates. It's a crucial element in the Jewish tradition. When Isaac is offered up for sacrifice by Abraham, this happens on the exposed surface of Mount Moriah.

That's the Temple Mount. For Muslims, this is where the Prophet Muhammad sends up to heaven. That stone is now covered over by the Dome of the Rock, this very important Islamic monument. The Dome of the Rock has stood at Temple Mount for more than 1,300 years. But the very first temple to occupy this sacred space was the legendary Solomon's temple, constructed upon order of the Israelite king in the 10th century BC.

According to the Hebrew Bible, King Solomon received a message from the heavens to build his temple on this spot. Its primary purpose was to house the Ark of the Covenant, the golden box which carried the two stone tablets inscribed with the Ten Commandments. and which was said to be God's earthly throne. Solomon has a communication with the angel Michael who comes and helps Solomon to build this. And so not only is this the presence of God on this spot, it's God who's helping in the building of this.

And so that's part of what makes that place so special, so literally divine. Solomon's temple was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BC. But 70 years later, Jewish exiles returning to Jerusalem built a new temple on the exact same location. That's what we call the second temple, and that temple survives until the year 70 AD when it's destroyed by the Romans. Then in the 7th century, Muslims conquer Jerusalem.

They built the dome of the rock there. And so there's been a long history of different people coming in, taking control, building, rebuilding places there. Solomon was instructed to build the temple on this incredibly important space. So why is this space important? Is it an energetic space? Is it a portal? What we see over and over again with these profound religious sites all over the world is we see this reverence for power places. endures from the earliest human history to today,

we're constantly building on top of these places. If a higher power instructed King Solomon to build on Temple Mount, could there be something special about this particular location on Earth? And could the same be true for other places around the world where success of cultures built again and again? Perhaps further clues can be found by examining one of the most astonishing megalitic sites in the world, and stories about its connection to the stars.

Balbeck, Lebanon. Here in the fertile Beka Valley stands what many consider to be the greatest ruin of Roman antiquity, the colossal temple of Jupiter. But the imposing remains that tower over the site today are only the latest in a long line of structures erected on this spot. Archaeologists say the area has been continually inhabited for the last 10,000 years, and no one knows who built the first place of worship here. But according to legend, both Egyptian and Assyrian conquerors erected sanctuaries on the site, followed by the Canaanites and the Phoenicians,

who built a great temple here to their god, Ball, around 2,500 BC. Balbeck is one of those places where you have different people, over millennia building their shrines, their temples, to their particular, you know, gods or goddesses. You've got this temple that's built by the Phoenicians for one of their deities, Val. Then Alexander the Great conquers this area. And surprise, surprise, builds a temple to the Greek gods.

In the first century BC, roughly 300 years after Alexander the Great, the Romans conquer Lebanon and decide to arrest a temple here to their chief god Jupiter. The main Roman temple once boasted 54 columns, each a staggering 65 feet in height. But while visitors to the ruins may first notice the towering Roman columns, the most impressive feature at Balbeck

is its massive foundation. To this day, Balbeck Lebanon has remained one of the most enduring mysteries on planet Earth. because the masonry that we find there is unparalleled compared to the rest of the world. In fact, there are three stone blocks called the trillathons, each weighing approximately 800 metric tons, which is 1.6 million pounds.

Each of these blocks is approximately 62 feet in length by about 14 feet in depth and 12 feet in breadth. and they're not even on the ground. So whoever placed them there in ancient times would have had to have raised them up to a height of about 20 feet. Each of the stones were quarried two miles away and put perfectly into place with such precision that you can't even put a credit card or a needle

in between those massive blocks. How ancient people carved and moved such massive stones is a question that baffled archaeologists to this day and equally as mysterious is who placed them there. The giant blocks in the foundation are clearly of a different building style than the temples that sit above. And in my opinion, that platform is not just ancient, it is prehistoric. But if the platform at Balbeck was constructed thousands of years before the Romans arrived in the Beka Valley, why did they choose this as the site to build their most?

magnificent temple. One pioneering Russian scholar has proposed that humans may have been drawn to this location because it was the site of one of Earth's earliest extraterrestrial events. Leningrad USSR 1961. Scientist and mathematician Dr. Mattes deGrest sends shockwaves through the world of academia with an article in which he poses a new theory called paleo contact. a precursor to what is known today as the ancient astronaut theory, suggesting that certain biblical texts could be interpreted as evidence of alien visitation. And according to Agrest, one place where such visitations occurred was Balbeck.

Dr. Mattesd-Agrist went into the ancient record, the Book of Enoch, and other Hebrew texts, and noticed that there were beings coming from the sky or the stars that came to Earth. And he came up with a theory that they were extraterrestrial beings who came to Earth to assist humanity in developing advanced technology to build stone constructions such as what we see at Belbeck in Lebanon. Aggress wrote about The Watchers, a group of fallen angels descended to Earth at Mount Hermann, very near the site of Balbeck. Agress suggested that the Watchers were in fact visitors from another planet who built the megalithic platform of Balbeck. as a launch pad. Here is David Childress, author of Technology of the Gods. He thought it was a giant stone platform

that spaceships could land on and take off from. And this makes a lot of sense because it's so incredibly solid with these huge stone blocks in it that even huge vehicles, such as rockets, could land and take off from this huge platform. Two decades after the publication of Aggress controversial article, author and researcher Zechariah Sitchin came to the same conclusion about Balbeck based on a 5,000-year-old Sumerian text.

The epic of Gilgamesh tells of a hero of superhuman strength who embarks on an impossible quest. In the course of his journeys, Gilgamesh arrives at a site where he encounters otherworldly gods, a site that sounds suspiciously like Baldwin. In the Sumerian epic of Gilgamesh, which is one of the great and important legends of human history, we have the hero arriving in a place known as the landing place, a space which allows the ascent and the descent of beings from the heavens to the earth. Zachariah Sitchin in the 1970s proposed, based on his reading of the epic of Gilgamesh,

that Gilgamesh himself had seen some sort of spacecraft take off from a landing site and pinpointed that site as Belbeck. Is it possible that Balbeck was a landing pad for alien visitors and that it remained so for thousands of years? Could that be why so many ancient peoples such as the Egyptians, Assyrians, Canaanites, Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans all chose to build and rebuild some of their greatest temples on this spot. Perhaps further clues can be found by examining new discoveries made at a mysterious ancient

site on the other side of the world. Bolivia, 1549. While searching for the southern capital of the Inca Empire, Spanish conquistador Pedro Ciazza de Leon comes upon something far stranger. A vast abandoned city near the shore of Lake Titicaca. that the locals call Tijuana. The ruined city contains temples, huge megalithic structures,

and vast ceremonial buildings. This is archaeologist Ed Barnhart, Ph.D., director of the Maya Exploration Center. Tijuana was huge. It spanned for miles and miles and had a population of perhaps as many as 20,000 people. Among Tijuanau's most impressive ruins is a carved monologue.

called the Gateway to the Sun, and a terrace mound called Puma Punku, containing stone blocks cut with extraordinary precision. According to archaeologists, the Tewanaku complex once served as the capital of a sprawling empire that rose and fell centuries before the Inca. This is why we have the term called the pre-Inca. But who were the pre-Inca? And this is where it gets interest. because pre-Inca construction is more sophisticated than Inca construction.

While some mainstream historians say the site dates back only to the Bronze Age, others maintain it is far older. Arthur Puzanansky spent an exorbitant amount of time at Tionaku and he calculated an actual origin date of Tionaku, which he based to be around 12,500 BC, which is an incredible time because at that time, according to mainstream archaeology, we were munching on bananas.

So it opens up the possibility that this site is vastly more ancient than were led to believe, and we're only just now beginning to discover the complete history of that site. Some experts believe that the builders of Tiwanaku were the ancestors of the local IMARA people who still live in the area today. But many of the Imara themselves disagree.

The local population, the ancient Imara culture, say it was not us who built this. It was the gods, Los Dioces. Recently, the mystery of who built Tijuanau only deepened with a staggering discovery, not within the city, but beneath it. 2017. Researchers from UNESCO, working with local archaeologists at Tewanaku, announced findings that send shockwaves through the world of archaeology.

While analyzing satellite imagery and ground-penetrating radar of the Tijuana site, they find dozens of previously unknown structures buried virtually everywhere they look. This is Andrew Goff, author of Lost Ancient Wisdom. What this aerial technology has found is 34 acres of terraced mounds, underground platforms, and elements of a pyramid complex. Undated constructions reveal that temples may have taken the form of industrial strength platforms. And this begs the question, why are the bases these platforms so industrial strength? It's as though they were built to support extreme weight.

Here is Hugh Newman, co-author of Megalith Studies in Stone. So originally there could have been one large mega platform, similar to what we find at Balbeg. This could have belonged to a much earlier civilization. If Tijuanau is yet another sacred site where successive cultures built temples atop the ruins of far earlier structures, is it possible that there is a connection to extraterrestrial visitation?

As far as ancient Ashnot theorists are concerned, Tijuanau's most mysterious ruins at Puma Punku provide the best evidence that the site was not only significant to the native people, but also to otherworldly visitors. Puma Pumku is, to me, the most important place on Earth as far as an extraterrestrial visitation would be concerned. The construction style at Puma Punku does not exist anywhere else on Earth. These stones, some of them weighing 100 tons, are made of antacite and other hard materials

that today we would use a diamond-tipped drill in order to shape or mold such stones. How did they do it with hammers and chisels? Like the foundation stones beneath Balbeck and the megalithic blocks of Saxe-Woman, the buried platforms beneath Pumapunku raise a provocative question. Why were the largest, heaviest, and most sophisticated parts of these sites, those that date back farthest in time? According to ancient astronaut theorists, more than 12,000 years ago, human civilizations existed on Earth

that possessed incredible technology, given to them by extraterrestrial beings. The ancient Egyptians referred to a time called the first time when the gods' extraterrestrial beings walked among men, pre-10,000 BC. We have authentic legends about these lost lands and lost worlds, and that extraterrestrials were here at the same time. We have these all over the world. We have the stories of Atlantis and Lemuria.

Many cultures around the world have also these same legends and lords and myths of cataclysms. The Scandinavians have this. Also, we have the flood of Noah. We have the Greeks also have tales of a flood. What we now know from incredible amount of evidence coming from every part of the world is around 10,800. the Earth suffered a terrible catastrophe in the form of a comet impact,

known as the Younger Dryas event. And this devastated every continent of the world, with fires and floods. So now it looks like we're looking at a secret history of planet Earth, one where there's extraterrestrial intervention, and there were civilizations, and there were civilizations, and activities going on then,

and they were destroyed in a cataclysmic flood. From Belbeck and Lebanon to the Temple Mount, to Puma Punku, some of these sites are thought to be the locations where pre-flood temples once existed. So after the cataclysm, people are regaining civilization and they go back to the exact same location as previous temples and rebuild the temple there. Could it be that the most ancient structures found at sacred site,

all over the world belong to civilizations that have been lost to history. Civilizations were extraterrestrials once lived among humans before falling victim to a cataclysmic event. Perhaps further clues can be found by examining a site in Peru where the Inca claimed to have had a direct line of communication with the gods. Kusko, Peru, in the heart of the ancient Incan capital stands the convent of Santo Domingo, a Spanish church constructed roughly 400 years ago. But still visible beneath the church are remnants of an older and far more impressive structure. The Incan Temple of Corin Concha. Tocke Thompson, Ph.D. is a professor of anthropology at the University of Southern California.

Corn Concha is probably the premier site for the ancient Incan civilization. This was the crowning jewel of their empire. It reflected the Incan political power, as well as the religious power. It had gold plating all along its walls, inside and out, so it glowed in the sun. And it was a very imposing structure. It had a base that was a curved wall

with a big garden at the bottom. And inside, it had a number of temples, After the Spanish conquistadors sacked Cusco in November of 1533, they demolished the Coranconcha and built a convent and church on its monumental foundation. All that's left of the original structure is the impressive stonework of the base and some underground rooms. But some experts believe the surviving stonework of the Coricanchia is too monumental and sophisticated to have been achieved with the Bronze Age tools, of the Inca, and was built instead by an earlier unknown civilization.

With the Coracanchia, we have good evidence that when the Inca arrived in this area, there was already an earlier megalithic temple there. They were actually building on something that was already there, possibly an ancient platform, possibly an underground temple because there's evidence of tunnels in this area. For ancient astronaut theorists, this raises the same question posed by Balbeck and Tewanaku. Why did ancient people repeatedly build temple after temple on the same sacred spot? And some believe that in the case of the Korun Khantia, Inka legend may provide a pivotal clue. Because tradition states that a special spot within the Koran Khantia allowed communication directly with the heavens.

But only when it was activated by the most sacred relic in the Inca world. A mysterious golden disc. called the Inti Punchaco. The most legendary relic of any Peruvian era was said to have been kept in the original Cori-Cansha. This was the Inti Punciico. This sun-disk, this golden artifact, allowed whoever possessed it

to commune directly with the gods. According to the Inca, within the Coran Concha, the Inti-Puncacho disc was allowed direct contact with their Creator God, Viracocha. Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that the specific placement of it was important because it may have been receiving a signal from beyond Earth. And they believe the exact spot where it was activated still exists in a chamber of the Corin Concha that was spared destruction by the Spanish.

In the Cori Concha is this special niche. And today they've covered it with a plexiglass sheet, but it has blocks that are perfectly cut and articulated in unusual ways, little notches and things, plus drilled holes that go through it, which seem to be for electric cables or something. So it would appear that some device was placed

into this niche in the wall that was like a monitor of some kind. And they've chosen this spot and all for reasons that we do not understand. So could it be that at the Corricansha there was a sacred kind of part of the site there where they were connecting with the gods, actually something in the land, like a magnetic hots or a vortex that the Inca and then later the Spanish became aware of? Is it possible that ancient Peruvians possessed a device that allowed them to communicate? communicate with beings from beyond Earth, and that the location of the Korin Khatja was essential

to activating this technology. Ancient astronaut theorists say, yes, and suggest that clues as to just how such a technology might have worked can be found by examining mysterious magnetic anomalies detected at one of the most remote ancient sites in the world. In the middle of the Pacific Ocean, roughly 2,500 miles northeast of Australia, lie the ruins of a once great ancient city, Nan Madal. Consisting of hundreds of man-made islets off the eastern coast of Micronesia, it has been dubbed the eighth wonder of the world.

The site of Nan Medall on the island of Pompeii in Micronesia is one of the strangest places on the planet. It's an 11 square mile complex composed of a... Over 250 million tons of basalt logs, they're floating on a submerged coral reef. They're 18 feet long, four feet in diameter, and are stacked 40 feet up in the air. Why did they do this?

And how did they do this? Today, the site lies abandoned and shunned by the local Micronesians, who consider it haunted. Non-Modal is one of these disappeared civilization. It's fascinatingly interesting. This seemed to have been the center of power of a major civilization,

and yet it also seems that it might have been built on earlier civilizations that are lost in time. Since stone is difficult to accurately date, no one knows for certain when it was constructed or how it was built. When you ask the local population, where were these blocks quarried? In unison, they will tell you,

tell you from across the island and they were flown across the island. According to legend, twin sorcerers of giant proportions came down from the sky and floated above the site and positioned the basalt columns as they desired. A legend that's very similar to the same story at Pumuponku. When I hear stories like that, I wonder, well perhaps we have a another example of what I refer to as misunderstood technology. As with other sites like Puma Punku, Balbeck, and the Korn Kancha, legend says that these structures were not the first to exist here, but instead were built above a much older city.

The mystery of Nnamadol is even more intriguing when we factor in the local legend that states that it was built on at earlier civilization called a conomwezo, which is submerged below water, but still has those same basalt megalis. Objects that appear to be basalt columns have in fact been found beneath the ocean at Nanmodal, and those who have studied the columns, both above and below the water, have discovered a curious electromagnetic anomaly. There's a strong magnetic field in every single one. of the 250 million tons of basalt there.

You can take a compass and run it along these basalt blocks, and your compass will just spin as you move it along the blocks. Also, it's thought that the site itself is a special power spot and an energy vortex, and that's why Namadol is built there. And this legendary sunken city called Canaan Waso as well, The local population also reports many, many sightings of orbs and lights that have been seen hovering around Nanmadal. Is it because of the magnetic spectrum of Earth? And you have to wonder if through magnetism the stones were transported in the first place, because they were transported through the air.

Some ancient astronaut theorists suggest that elevated electromagnetic energy present at Nanmodal. was not only a powerful tool used to move the giant basalt columns, but that it may also have been the reason that extraterrestrials helped the locals to build here in the first place. Could it be that there was a sacred kind of part of the site there where they were connecting with the gods? You know, not just through visionary experiences, but actually something in the land, like a magnetic hotspot or a vortex.

Travis Taylor, PhD, is an astrophysicist. We hear the word vortex in science fiction, popular culture, all the time. And a vortex is just a mathematical thing that describes a swirling motion. An electromagnetic field can be formed in a vortex. You could create a vortex that would enable transporting information from somewhere else to here at the speed of light or faster than the speed of light. And if there are places on the earth where these types of vortexes may be stronger than others, you can see people going there to build structures that maybe altered the electromagnetic field of the local environment.

Was there even some kind of portal or vortex present in some of these sacred places? If that's the case, we have to question these principles of Oracle sites, megalithic temples, where they built to harness this, to be these communication portals between these different places. This is George Nouri, host of Coast to Coast A.M. There is no question in my mind that these are much older sites than we think, and that they were spots for extraterrestrial communication a long, long time ago. Is it possible that certain locations around the world act as vortexes of electrical

electromagnetic energy, and that ancient people built their most sacred sites in these very spots in order to communicate with otherworldly beings. Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that although this notion may sound far-fetched, scientists at NASA recently found evidence that such portals do exist. Huntsville, Alabama, October 30th, 2008. also makes a groundbreaking announcement that there is indisputable evidence of magnetic portals connecting the Earth and the Sun. These portals open every eight minutes and allow the transfer of high energy particles

between the two celestial bodies. So you have these two really powerful magnets, the Earth and the Sun, and their field lines are crossing each other, but every now and then, for whatever reason, we have these flux transfer events where the field lines will actually connect to each other. And they create a pathway for the magnetic field of the sun to literally be connected to the magnetic field of the Earth. And it's even being referred to in the scientific literature as magnetic portals. We actually have a connection that could be a transit tube or a pathway for information

to travel from the sun to the Earth or vice versa. Ancient astronaut theorists have long been intrigued by the concept of electromagnetic portals. since in theory they could provide a means of communicating or even traveling rapidly across the vast distances of space. The NASA discovery poses an intriguing question. Could sites around the world where successive cultures built their most sacred temples be locations that facilitate the creation of magnetic portals? Could a civilization with a more advanced knowledge of physics than we have currently,

make use of this flux transfer, of these magnetic field lines connecting between their star and other planets. Could it create a means of traveling quickly from one point to the other between them, or maybe even something else that we just haven't discovered yet? Maybe these sites were kind of manipulating the energies of the cosmos and the Earth to open these portals up for this kind of purpose. And what or who were they really communicating? was it really the gods, was it the ancestors, or was it otherworldly beings?

Could Balbeck, Temple Mount, Puma Punku, the Korun Kancha, and other sites around the world where sacred structures have been built again and again have electromagnetic properties similar to non-modal, properties that could be harnessed to create gateways to connect with otherworldly beings? Over and over, around the world from the beginning of time to now,

we see that sacred sites and power points have been marked by humankind. Temples have been built to communicate from Earth to heaven. Quite clearly, these places are somewhere that we keep coming back to. We call them portals. We call them vortices. They are gateways onto another world,

and they are very, very important, not just for human experience, but for evolution itself. Are humans drawn to certain locations on Earth by a magnetic force? Do we build our most sacred temples on the same sites again and again because these locations connect us to the cosmos? Perhaps as we continue to unearth even more ancient ruins, we will come to better understand our connection to the universe. and the truth about our extraterrestrial past.
