Ancient Aliens - The Power of the Obelisks

Episode Date: December 4, 2025

The towering obelisks of ancient Egypt weigh hundreds of tons and each was perfectly carved from a single granite rock. While mainstream scholars identify them as monuments to the pharaohs, A...ncient Astronaut Theorists suggest they may have served a technological purpose–they powered a technology that allowed for communication with the gods who came from the stars.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Starting point is 00:00:00 When you fly with Hawaiian Airlines, the whole family enjoys free access to Starlink, the fastest Wi-Fi in the sky, thanks to T-Mobile. Stream, scroll, message, and game while sipping a passion orange guava juice. Everyone stays entertained and your vacation gets a head start. Enjoy every moment of your trip, even before you land. Hawaii starts here. Incredible stone monuments erected thousands of years ago. The precision engineering of the obelisks in Egypt is absolutely ingenious.
Starting point is 00:00:42 These ancient monoliths display mysterious electromagnetic power. See, we're like lightning rods that absorbed electrical energy from the heavens. And ancient traditions connect them to interstellar travel. This obelisk was thought of as being a stargate through this interdimensional portal. Were megalithic obelisks simply created to memorialize the pharaohs and kings of ancient Egypt? Or did they serve a far more profound purpose? These standing stones are pointing to the stars. Why? Because that is where we came from.
Starting point is 00:01:27 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. Standing in the most honored locations of the greatest cities on earth are massive stone obelisks.
Starting point is 00:02:05 pointing to the sky. Here is author and investigative mythologist, William Henry. When you look at true power cities around the world, Paris, London, New York, Washington, D.C., they all have one thing in common, obelists. Dr. Jonathan Young is the founding curator of the Joseph Campbell Archives. There are obelisks at key locations in some of the most important cities on the planet. In a key square in Istanbul, there is an ancient obelisk from Egypt with hieroglyphics. Another is in Paris at the Place de la Concorde, which is in the largest square in Paris.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Although they are found across the globe, the vast majority of the world's obelisks have a single point of origin. Ancient Egypt. In fact, most obelisks that adorn major cities were originally originally part of Egypt's ancient landscape. This is Egyptologist Rami Romani. In ancient Egypt, there were over 100 obelisks that were sculpted and erected. Only nine or 10 of them remain in Egypt, but a lot actually are outside of Egypt.
Starting point is 00:03:24 Robert Schock, PhD, is a professor of natural sciences at Boston University. Obelists have literally become the spoils of war, where a country invades Egypt, or a country overtakes Egypt. And this goes back to Roman times. And they would take obelists away to erect in their own capital city,
Starting point is 00:03:46 whether it was Rome under Roman times or later Constantinople. The removal of obelisks from Egypt continued right into the 19th century. The Paris obelisk was carried from Luxor in 1833. London purchased its obelisk from Egypt Egypt in 1878. Cleopatra's needle was given to New York as a gift from the Egyptian government in 1881.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Here is Andrew Collins, author of Beneath the Pyramids. Why would you want to move them around and take them to foreign countries? And I think the answer must rely on the fact that they were seen to have an inherent power within them. The Egyptian obelisk is one of the most unique pieces of architecture in ancient Egypt. Every obelisk you look at, it is a perfect mathematical equation. Geometrically perfect, physics-wise, perfect. They were always made of granite and they were four-sided and towered upwards and eventually ended in this perfect. Pyramid.
Starting point is 00:05:04 This is author Hugh Newman. Most obelisks are found in pairs, often at the entrance to certain temples, and most of the obelisks have beautiful hieroglyphs carved into them. Most hieroglyphs that are on the obelisks are always the king asking the gods to be there for him on his journey through the afterlife, so they can arrive to the afterlife and live for immortality, and the top was always dedicated to the sun god Ra, one of the most powerful gods in ancient Egypt. The pyramid-shaped stone on top of Ijjjabalisk called the Benben stone was a design
Starting point is 00:05:48 rooted in Egyptian mythology. The Benbin was a vehicle which Autumn, the god of all creation, used to travel back and forth between the heavens and the earth. We think of the Ben Ben as a craft because it is believed to have come from the stars originally. When the God a tomb arrived on Earth, he arrived in the Ben Ben. When the god a tomb left the earth, he rose in the Ben Ben and presumably went back to the stars. Curiously, the ancient Egyptian gods were often depicted as human-like figures who came from the stars and possessed incredible powers.
Starting point is 00:06:28 And as far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, accounts of gods traveling in the Ben Ben, could be a case of misunderstood technology. Here is ancient astronaut theorist, Giorgio Suclos. We always have to remember that the technological frame of reference that our ancestors had cannot be compared to the technological frame of reference that we have today. Our ancestors perhaps witnessed some type of a craft descending from the sky out of which these extraterrestrials came and jump-started civilization. And they tried to replicate the vehicles which those gods arrived in. Could it be true that the top of every obelisk commemorates an alien visitation?
Starting point is 00:07:22 Ancient astronaut theorists say, yes, and they suggest the obelisks hold far more profound secrets. Oswan, Egypt. The ancient city located more than 500 miles south of Cairo on the eastern bank of the Nile River. Was the southern center of trade for the Egyptian Empire more than 3,000 years ago. It was also the home of a sacred stone quarry, rich in red, green. At Aswan, at the first cataract of the Nile, you find this immense red granite quarry. This is where almost all the red granite that's used in the temples and even the pyramids of Egypt originates. And here is where you find the quarry that the obelists came from.
Starting point is 00:08:11 Many of the obelists that were carved out of the Oswan quarry were then transported hundreds of miles to their final destinations. But how people living thousands of years ago years ago, we're able to move and erect such massive monuments continues to baffle modern engineers. We have inscriptions on the walls in ancient Egypt that shows us how the process happened with multiple ropes and people dragging it on tree trunks all the way to the port on the Nile, where they then have to put it on sometimes 27, 30, 35 ships. attached together to carry this one massive obelisk and then sailing it on the Nile all the way to the port that is closest to the temple
Starting point is 00:09:03 and then arriving to the spot where you have to erect an obelisk that is 400 tons or more, that is 130 feet or more, up into a 90 degrees angle without modern machinery. But years and years later, people try to to replicate the process and have failed miserably. Transporting an obelisk and putting it in place, let alone sculpting it in a quarry, is still a big mystery to us today.
Starting point is 00:09:37 While researchers agree that the rope and pulley method can explain the transport of some obelisks, ancient astronaut theorists point to another, more profound method that was documented as well. We have some references in ancient Egyptian texts that also speak of some of these obelists being levitated. And the way that worked is that a magical white powder had to be strewn across the stones and then water was added and through some quote-unquote magical incantations, then those rocks lifted themselves and they could
Starting point is 00:10:20 levitate into place. Here is David Childress, author of Technology of the Gods. Were the Egyptians using some kind of alien technology, not just to quarry the obelisk, but to lift it up, to move it, and then to ultimately stand it up? Although mainstream archaeologists dismissed the idea that such advanced technology could have been available to ancient Egyptians, there is one obelisk. that still lies unfinished in the Oswan quarry that defies explanation as to how it would have been moved to its final destination using mere ropes and pulleys. The unfinished obelisk of Queen Hatchap Suit, it was actually the biggest obelisk, the tallest obelisk ever made, never completely finished.
Starting point is 00:11:14 It would have stood over 130 feet into the air. It would have weighed maybe 1,200 tons it's estimated. The unfinished obelisk was abandoned because, as they were sculpting the obelisk, it had a crack that started showing. Every obelisk had to survive for the rest of time and even more. So one little crack, it was not acceptable, and they had to abandon it. Considering the immense amount of work it took to quarry, carve, and transport obelisk, Could these monuments have had some practical purpose beyond mere adornment?
Starting point is 00:11:56 According to ancient astronaut theorists, there is evidence that these incredible stone structures may have been used for the transmission of energy. One of the many mysteries surrounding Egypt's ancient obelisk is why the original builders chose to use stone from the Oswan quarry, when, in most cases, other stone was more easily available. It was very important to the ancient Egyptians that when they erected an obelisk, that it be all one piece of stone and that they be carved from the quote, correct rock, which was this very high-quality granite found in Aswan in southern Egypt. Here is theoretical physicist Michiocaku, Ph.D. These monoliths are made out of granite,
Starting point is 00:12:52 and there's some quartz inside the granite, and quartz has some rather interesting properties, like the piezoelectric effect. If I take quartz crystal and I squeeze it, I can generate electricity. Now, some people believe that the obelisks are like lightning rods that absorb electrical energy from the heavens. Could the Egyptian obelisks have been designed?
Starting point is 00:13:18 obelisks have been designed to attract energy. In addition to the conductivity of quartz stone, it has been found that when the obelists were first erected, they were capped with a naturally occurring metal alloy called Electrum. We know that they were covered or capped in many cases with Electrum, which is a combination of gold and silver, and they may have been meant to attract plasma, plasma electrically charged particles.
Starting point is 00:13:49 As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, the obelists were almost certainly intended to conduct energy. And they suggest that the source of this energy may not have been from the heavens, but instead from the world's most extraordinary ancient structure. Giza, Egypt. On the western bank of the Nile River stands a marvel of ancient structure. ancient engineering, the Great Pyramid. The largest structure in the Giza Pyramid complex stands roughly 450 feet tall and consists
Starting point is 00:14:28 of over 2 million stone blocks, some of which are made from the same red granite that was used to create the obelisks throughout the country. While Egyptologists believe that it was built around 2570 BC with earthen ramps, ropes, and pulleys. Definitive proof of how it was constructed and how old the giant structure is remains a mystery. Great Pyramid of Giza is a marvel of architecture. Every block was five tons and there's about two million of them to create a perfect pyramid shape that is one of the seven ancient wonders of the world, the most ancient one of the wall and the only one standing. Chris Dunn is an engineer and author of Lost Technologies of Ancient Egypt.
Starting point is 00:15:22 The Great Pyramid at Giza covers 13 acres. It's a very remarkable building. The precision of this building exceeds anything that we require of builders today. For instance, the area over 13 acres was leveled within 7 eighth of an inch. That's about the thickness of a thumbnail. The casing stones are joined line to line to within 10,000ths of an inch. And their joints are filled with some kind of mysterious cement that nobody's been able to figure out what the formula is.
Starting point is 00:16:01 This is not the work of the primitive people who have copper chisels. Inside the Great Pyramid are a number of fascinating chambers and corridors, like the grand gallery, this towering stairway that goes up into the so-called King's Chamber. Mainstream scholars theorized that the Great Pyramid was built as a tomb for the Pharaoh Kufu, who reigned from 2589 to 2566 BC. But archaeologists have yet to find any human remains or authentic grave markers within the structure. The design of the tunnel system and chamber rooms within the Great Pyramid have convinced engineering expert Chris Dunn that the true purpose of the massive structure was to act as a power plant, distributing energy through obelisks. We're taught in school that the Great Pyramid is a tomb, but if you look at the complexity of these buildings, the precision with which they were built, the features that you're not.
Starting point is 00:17:11 you see on the inside. These various shafts and passageways, for me, it looks like a machine. With more than 50 years of experience in the aerospace industry, Dunn believes that chemical reactions took place within the Great Pyramid that generated electromagnetic waves. You have two shafts leading into the Queens Chamber,
Starting point is 00:17:38 and these shafts delivered the chemicals to the that they would make some boil of hydrogen and then hydrogen would pass through another passageway to the Grand Gallery and then into the King's Chambers. Dunn speculates that once the hydrogen gas reached the King's Chamber, vibrations energized and converted the hydrogen atoms into microwaves. You have evidence to support the theory that hydrogen was being a very good. fed down the northern shaft which leads to the King's chamber and then it enters the chamber and collects the energy that has accumulated in that chamber and then directs it through the southern shaft for the microwaves spread out so that energy would reach large distances and I think if you had a noblist at any distance they could
Starting point is 00:18:38 actually affect that particular structure. The Great Pyramid is itself a power generator and that energy is broadcast from the pyramid. It's picked up by the transmitters, which are the obelisks, placed at key sites made of red granite that are able to be tuned to the specific frequencies coming from the pyramid. Could it be true, as some researchers and experts like Chris Dunn believe, that the Great Pyramid of Giza was actually a power plant, and that obelisks were used as receiver towers designed to distribute the generated power.
Starting point is 00:19:21 While such a sensational notion may sound like science fiction, Egypt's pyramids and obelisks served as inspiration for the first person to wirelessly transmit electricity in the modern world. Nikola Tesla. When engineering expert Chris Dunn first presented his theory that the Great Pyramid was used to generate electricity in his 1998 book, The Giza Power Plant, it ignited a firestorm of controversy. But he was not the first to propose this audacious notion. A century earlier in the 1890s, Nikola Tesla, the famed engineer and inventor of the first
Starting point is 00:20:13 alternating current motor and power system, studied the ancient structures of Egypt while working to develop a system for transmitting electricity without the use of wires. This is Mark Seifer, Ph.D., author of Wizard Tesla, The Wizard at Work. Tesla studied the ancient Egyptians. He was fascinated by the ancients in their understanding that quartz produced electrical frequencies. He thought that they understood what courts was all about. Tesla used crystals, he used quartz, and all of that can be found in the ancient obelisks. According to Chris Dunn's theory, chemical reactions took place inside the Great Pyramid to create microwave energy and transmit it to the obelisks through the air. But Tesla believed
Starting point is 00:21:03 the ancient Egyptians may have instead been amplifying the natural energy currents present in the Earth. In 1898, he began building an electrical tower in Colorado Springs based on this hypothesis. And three years later, announced that he had succeeded in creating the modern world's first wireless energy transmitter. Here is astrophysicist and aerospace engineer Dr. Travis Taylor. It's really interesting to me that when Nikolai Tesla was putting together his Colorado experiments. He was getting information from an expedition that J.P. Morgan was paying for in Egypt. And he was getting information about the size of the pyramids and the obelists. And Tesla was talking about using these towers to send power that he takes from the earth around the world to people
Starting point is 00:22:00 wirelessly. It was a large tower that has a gray conductor on top of it. And then a large conducting pipe that went way deep into the granite basin underneath it. It was grounding his system into the earth, electrically connecting it to the earth. And then he would tune this system until it reached a certain frequency. He drives the energy into the ground. He then put light bulbs all along the mountains and all these light bulbs lit. That was his proof that he could sand electrical energy through a wireless system. After the success of his initial experiment, Tesla began devising
Starting point is 00:22:38 a much more ambitious plan for wirelessly transmitting electricity. In March of 1901, after relocating to Long Island, New York, Tesla began construction on a nearly 200-foot tall structure known as Wardencliff Tower. The larger structure would allow him to generate more energy to send into the Earth. Tesla's Wardencliff Tower was supposed to be his crowning achievement, a lasting monument that would generate energy and send energy over hundreds of miles. Tesla thought he could energize entire cities. Unfortunately, it was never tested because he ran out of money. Although Nikola Tesla was unable to realize his grand vision for wirelessly transmitting energy with Wardencliff Tower, is it possible that he was on the brink of recreating a technology that ain't
Starting point is 00:23:38 ancient Egyptians possessed nearly 4,000 years before him. Tesla's original designs for the Wardencliff Tower was to be the same height as the King's Pyramid in Giza. I find it really interesting. Was he thinking that the ancient Egyptians were actually sending power, collecting it from the earth somehow, and transmitting it with these obelists? If Nikola Tesla was onto something like that,
Starting point is 00:24:05 perhaps that was what the ancient Egyptian were doing. But if Egypt's obelisks were designed to conduct energy, the question remains, what purpose did this serve? Was it to create a source of electricity for the community? Or could the power of the obelisks have served an otherworldly purpose? Perhaps clues can be found at the Temple of Edfu, which contains thousands of hieroglyphs detailing the customs and mythology of the world.
Starting point is 00:24:38 ancient Egypt. According to the so-called Edfu texts, a 160-foot-tall obelisk once stood at the temple of Abu Gorob in Memphis, where the people could commune with the gods. According to the ancient Egyptian building texts from Etfu, Abu Ghraub was known as the place of the gods. And what's so interesting is that most mainstream
Starting point is 00:25:05 Egyptologists are actually saying that We know it as a place where the ancients connected with divine energies. The obelisk itself was the point of contact between humans and the gods. We communicated with the gods through that stone. I think it's quite possible that where you find these obelisks were places of communion or communication with the sky gods, with extraterrestrials. Could it be that the obelisks were alien communication devices, allowing the ancient Egyptians to make contact with their extraterrestrial gods.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Ancient astronaut theorists say, yes, and suggest further evidence can be found by examining the story of Egypt's most famous son, the prophet Moses, Cairo, Egypt. Roughly 20 miles northeast of the Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx is a site that was of great significance to the ancient Egyptian. the sacred city of Heliopolis. Here at the site of a 70-foot-tall obelisk, the pharaohs were said to commune with the council of nine gods,
Starting point is 00:26:21 called the Anid, who brought technology and knowledge to mankind. One of the oldest obelisks we have today is one that was of a pair of obelisks that stood in Heliopolis, the city of the Sun God Ra, so close to Cairo, close to Cairo today. In Heliopolis, the Pharaoh of Egypt would have to consult with the nine gods in need, with every aspect in life, to make sure he is doing the right thing. Every ancient Egyptian would have their full trust that anything coming out from the mouth of the king is the word of the nine gods. And Diabolus is there to receive the messages.
Starting point is 00:27:08 and deliver it to its people. So once more, we have the idea of the obelisk associated with communication, with some kind of higher intelligence. What makes Heliopolis of particular interest to ancient astronaut theorists is the fact that it is associated with the famous biblical figure who also created a device for communicating with the heavens. The prophet Moses. According to the book of Exodus, Moses was born in Egypt to Hebrew parents, who set him afloat on the Nile in a reed basket to save him from an edict calling for the death of all newborn Hebrew males.
Starting point is 00:27:57 Found by the Pharaoh's daughter, he was raised in the Egyptian court and educated in Heliopolis. This is Rabbi Ariel Bar Sadoch, founder of the country. kosher Torah school. We know from the Bible that Moses was raised in the house of Pharaoh. He was raised amongst the priests of the Egyptian religion. They had knowledge of the ancient wisdoms and the ancient technologies. Moses learned many of these things from them. So years later, when God speaks to Moses and commands Moses,
Starting point is 00:28:37 Moses to bring the children of Israel out of Egypt. Moses brought with him many of these secrets. In the book of Exodus, Moses frees the Israelites from enslavement and leads them out of Egypt. The Israelites were taken out into the wilderness of Sinai, and they came to Mount Sinai itself. And Moses went up the top of the mountain, and he saw that Yahweh in the form of an incredibly bright light. And during this time, God gives him the Ten Commandments. But what he also does is give him the instructions on how to make the Ark of the Covenant.
Starting point is 00:29:25 The Ark of the Covenant is described in the Bible as the sacred wooden box that would hold the Ten Commandments. It was also said to enable direct communication with God. Is it possible that Moses' education in Egypt influenced the construction of the Ark of the Covenant? A sacred vessel believed to be a communication device and possessing the same powers attributed to the obelisks. Curiously, within the ancient Egyptian temple of Setti in Abidos, there is a mural that depicts an obelisk. which, to some researchers, looks strikingly similar to the Ark of the Covenant, the so-called Osiris device.
Starting point is 00:30:13 At the Temple of SETI at Abidos is a depiction of a very technological-looking apparatus. That is the Osiris device. Now, when we look at the platform upon which the pillar portion of the Osiris device rests, that platform looks exactly like to Pyrus. like depictions of the biblical Ark of the Covenant. This is no coincidence.
Starting point is 00:30:37 This is a continuity of tradition. Now, if this is a real communications device, actually, honestly, must have worked with some form of a technology. According to some researchers, not only was the Ark of the Covenant based on technology that Moses learned about in Heliopolis, but the fact that it was described, as a communication device, points to a connection with the obelisks.
Starting point is 00:31:06 This is a box that's covered over in gold, in layers, and then it has a lid, the so-called mercy seat, with the two cherubin facing each other, and God would appear between those two cherubin as this blinding lights. We have elements here in connection with the obelists, They too would seem to have had gold placed at their apexes. And we also know that the pyramids had capstones made of gold. And that gold is an incredible conductor of electricity.
Starting point is 00:31:47 So here we have the obelis as perhaps electrical devices and also communication devices. And then you have the Ark of the Covenant. And they seem to have the same. seem to have the same function, and you have to ask yourself, could it be the same technology coming from the Egyptian gods? Was the Ark of the Covenant a portable version of an obelisk, an energetic device that provided a direct communication link to otherworldly beings?
Starting point is 00:32:20 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and suggest that further evidence can be found in a place where tradition holds that the Ark of the Covenant has remained hidden for centuries, a place that also happens to be home to the largest collection of obelisks on Earth. Oksum, Ethiopia. This ancient city was once the heart of the Kingdom of Oksum, a powerful empire that thrived for nearly 900 years, starting in the first century AD.
Starting point is 00:33:00 It is also home to more than a dozen, ancient obelisks. What's curious about Axum is the large number of obelisks that are there. It's a city of obelisk. It's practically a forest of obelisks. There, the obelists are a whole different thing. These aren't just perfectly smooth. These have got almost like windows going up in levels.
Starting point is 00:33:26 One of them even has like a doorway carved on the bottom with a small handle, just carved out of solid rock. The obelisks of oxen were. Obolists of Aksum were not topped with the Pyramidian or carved from the Oswan quarry like those in Egypt, but they were equally as massive and were each made from a single stone. The largest obelisk that we know that was ever erected was not erected in Egypt, but in Aksum.
Starting point is 00:33:53 There were over 100 obelists at one time, and the biggest is a huge obelisk that weighed well over a thousand times. But why did the people of Aksum make so many obelisks? Could they have learned the secrets of the ancient Egyptians? According to some researchers, these obelisks may have been erected to indicate that Aks has a profound connection to the heavens, a connection that may combine two ancient technologies,
Starting point is 00:34:27 the obelisks and the Ark of the Covenant. covenant. The Ark of the Covenant, the great mystery, where is it? The Bible, of course, has its own traditions and teachings on this. But out of the Ethiopian culture, we have an alternate teaching, an alternate lesson about where is the Ark. They believe that the Ark of the Covenant is there residing with them. The mystery of what happened to the Ark of the Covenant began in 587 BC when the Babylonians conquered Jerusalem and looted Solomon's temple where the Ark had been housed for 350 years. After this event, the Ark of the Covenant disappears from the historical record. But curiously, there is also no record of the Babylonians
Starting point is 00:35:22 having taken it. While there are many theories as where the Ark went, one of the most prominent claims can be found in ancient Ethiopian history. One version of the fight of the Ark of the Covenant is contained within a Ethiopian holy book known as the Kebara Nagast. It's a story involving King Solomon who had the Ark and he's meeting with the Queen of Sheba. And it was said that they had a liaison, and that a son was born to the Queen of Sheba by the name of Menelak. And that eventually Menelak traveled from his homeland of Ethiopia to visit his father, Solomon, in Israel.
Starting point is 00:36:16 According to the story, when Menelik left Israel, he and his men secretly took the ark with them back to Aksum. Devoted followers believe it still resides there today. Here is Reverend Michael J.S. Carter, author of Alien Scriptures, Extraterials in the Holy Bible. Many believe, especially Ethiopian Orthodox Christians, that the Ark of the Covenant is in a small chapel called Our Lady Mary of Zion Church. And monks are there who guard this day and night on pain of death. They cannot leave the grounds. So something is there that is worth these monks saying,
Starting point is 00:37:02 I will die before I leave this compound. You wonder, why are there so many obelists in this place at the very same place where the Ark of the Covenant is said to have been located? Is there a connection? Axum at one time was a center of power and prestige in the ancient world. It was the trading route between Persia and Rome. And so they were connected to other parts of the ancient world. And now you have the Ark of the Covenant and you have the obelisk.
Starting point is 00:37:44 If you connect the dots, it's very difficult not to think that civilization got its knowledge from Egypt. In Aksum, they believe that they believe that. They believe that the Ark of the Covenant and the obelists are all connected. So we have to ask ourselves, we're the ancient people using some kind of super technology? It remains a mystery to this day.
Starting point is 00:38:10 Could the obelisks of ancient Egypt, which still mystify modern engineers, have been highly advanced tools of otherworldly technology? While the truth may remain hidden in the past, ancient astronaut theory, believe that today obelisks may still provide a connection to our alien ancestors. Washington, D.C., September 6, 1884.
Starting point is 00:38:40 The final stone is placed at the top of the Washington Monument, an Egyptian-style obelisk dedicated to the first president of the United States, George Washington. The Washington Monument is considered the tallest obelisk in the world. 555 feet tall. It's fascinating that the largest obelisk currently exists in Washington, D.C. And you have to ask the question, why? Because worldwide, there has been a fascination that goes back into deep antiquity about these standing stones.
Starting point is 00:39:18 The Vatican, ancient Egypt, in New York City, Aksum in Ethiopia, all over the world, you have these obelisks, these markers that point to the sky. Since the decline of the Egyptian Empire approximately 2,000 years ago, nearly 30 obelisks have been moved from their original locations to sites around the globe. But why? There may be something more magical at play, because I believe these ancient cultures had mastered
Starting point is 00:39:55 things we are only just starting to understand. And perhaps the power of these obelisks has been kept for multiple generations in secret. In fact, the symbol of the obelisk became part of many secret societies. It became part of the Masonic founding of Washington, D.C. And where they're placed around the world is also very interesting
Starting point is 00:40:20 because they're not placed in just random positions. They're placed geodetically. often linked with ancient Egypt. What is it about the obelisk that attracts us, that resonates with us? Well, number one is humanity's always striving. We're always reaching up to the stars, because I think in some cellular memory, we get it, that that's really where we come from. even if we don't realize that what we're probably doing is commemorating our extraterrestrial origins.
Starting point is 00:41:00 I think the evidence is right in front of our eyes. These standing stones are pointing to the stars. Why? Because that is where we came from. In Washington, D.C., they put the reflecting pool beside the obelisk. This draws our eye into the heavens because we see the reflections of the stars and the heavens in that reflecting pool and we instantly connect that the obelisk in the heavens and D.C. in fact, are all connected. Could the towering stone obelisks of ancient Egypt represent an advanced technology that existed on Earth thousands of years ago?
Starting point is 00:41:44 Have we placed them in important locations all around the world? because of our innate awareness of their profound power. While the original function of the obelisks may be lost to time, perhaps they now serve a new purpose, to stand as a testament to the enduring connection between humanity and our alien creators. All.
