Ancient Aliens - The Power of the Talisman

Episode Date: March 19, 2026

For thousands of years, people have held the belief that everyday objects can possess hidden energy. Talismans are seen as providing protection, good fortune, and some are even thought to embody a higher power. Could it be that what fuels our faith in talismans is not superstition, but a real connection to something beyond our world?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For thousands of years, people have held a belief that objects can become imbued with a mysterious energy. Everyday objects can become animate and even enlightened. Known as talismans, they're revered in every culture. The ancient Sumerians, the Greeks, the Romans, they thought there was sacred power in inanimate objects. And it is believed that they provide a connection to a higher realm.

Ancient Egyptian magic was based on the idea that a person holding one of these talismans actually possessed the power of the God. Could it be that what fuels our faith in talismans is not superstition, but a real connection to something beyond our world? I think the reason why many of us put so much value into these talismans is because They are a direct connection to our ancestors and to some sort of a celestial power. 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. The Cross. For billions of Christians throughout the world, this is their most prominent symbol of their faith. It adorns churches, pulpits, the vestments of clergy, and members of the faith. Representing the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, the cross serves as a symbolic reminder of his sacrifice. But for many, it is not merely a symbol, it is an object of power, and serves as a modern-day example of a very ancient concept. The Talisman. Lynn Picknet is the co-author of Forbidden Universe.

Throughout history, possibly throughout prehistory, human beings have always had an ongoing love affair with talismans. Dominic Steyavu, PhD, is an associate professor of religious studies at University of California, Santa Barbara. Talismans are found throughout cultures, From South America to the Middle East to Africa to East Asia and Europe, they are found everywhere, and they share a lot of common features.

They are primarily material concretions of the divine, of supernatural power. Talismans provide a physical anchoring for what is usually invisible. William Henry is an author and investigative mythologist. The word talisman actually means to consecrate and to fulfill. And it's thought that they actually fulfill or amplify the will or desire of the person using it. Jonathan Young, PhD, is the founding curator of the Joseph Campbell Archives. The Iroquois, the Native American group, had this energy in things.

It was called Orenda. The Japanese Shinto tradition believed that physical objects had soul. The ancient Sumerians, the Greeks, the Greeks, the Romans, they thought there was the possibility of sacred power in inanimate objects. Kathleen McGowan is an author and researcher. Talismans can be big or small. They can be carried. They can be installed in buildings. There are all kinds of talismans. There are talismans for protection. There are talismans for healing. And there are a lot of talismans for religious purposes, which are used to feel closer or

connected to a religious character, a saint, or even a god. This is Mitch Horowitz, author of Uncertain Places, Essays on a Cult and Outsider Experiences. The earliest talismans that we have records of, specifically, are bear claws for helping the hunt, eagle talons for personal strength, and what are called Venus figurines for fertility. Even in the 21st century, talismans are big. Many people might not think of them as talismans, but you have St. Christopher Medals for Travelers. You have Christian crosses,

and you often see people touching them or holding them. And they do think of them as talismans. They do think it actually protects them in some way. Throughout all of human history, and in every culture, people have assigned certain objects with extraordinary powers. But why?

What is behind this enduring belief? The talisman helps us bridge the scene and the unseen, spirit and matter. The sacred dimension is really beyond our understanding. We can't see it. We can believe in it, but it would be nice to touch. That's the bridging function of a talisman or an amulet. The talisman can be a constant reminder

that someone or something is watching over you. And I think a lot of people can find comfort and solace in that. Even for non-religious believers, talismans can be a concretion that is physical of the presence of the invisible. Any physical object has the potential to be a talisman. But there are certain talismans that appear all over the world and in many different cultures.

The talismans that I find the most mysterious are those that employ the human eye, and they're mysterious precisely because they appear all over the world amidst cultures that are separated by vast differences in time, geography, custom, language. From Siberia to Polynesia, literally, human beings, for millennia, have been devising talismans in the shape of, of an eye. The most famous, of course, being the Egyptian eye of Horace, but they occupy every culture, every territory, every time. And that common language is fascinating. Curiously, this talisman serves the same function in nearly every culture in which it appears, which is to protect against what is commonly known as the curse of the evil eye. Here is Antonio Pagliarulo, author of of the evil eye, the history, mystery, and magic

of the quiet curse. The evil eye goes back at least 5,000 years. You can go back to Mesopotamia. You can go back to ancient Egypt. The definition of the evil eye is basically a curse, and it is transmitted through a glance. So the evil eye is born from the emotion of envy, of jealousy, of greed, of resentment.

And we see there are many different types of amulets that deflect this negative energy. Today you can find the evil eye just about everywhere. You have jewelry, the evil eye beads, which is called the Nazar, the blue and the white circles, the Hamsa. People will hang Homsas on their doors above their desks. They tie them on cribs.

So you can see these amulets everywhere and they are all to deflect the curse that is unleashed from the evil eye. As the evil eye is for protection, and the Venus figurine is for fertility, many talismans take forms that are directly connected to their intended purpose. But there are some whose origins are far more mysterious.

Giorgio Suclos is an ancient astronaut theorist. One talisman that many people around the world wear around their neck or as a bracelet is the so-called Mercaba. The Mercaba is a concept that comes from the huge Hebrew faith and Mercaba translated into plain English is chariot. It actually ties in with the story of Ezekiel in which he describes as an eyewitness what he saw up in the sky. In the Hebrew Bible's book of Ezekiel, the prophet Ezekiel describes witnessing a fiery chariot with wheels

within wheels descending from the sky in a whirlwind. Not only did he see these wheels within a wheel up in the sky, but that thing landed in front of him and somebody came out, and Ezekiel himself is actually taking inside this craft. So the Mercaba is a transportation device. I find it fascinating that the Mercaba now is just, oh, for protection, It's for, you know, longevity. It is for procreation, which are all great things.

But when I read that Mercaba means celestial chariot, that's when my ears perk up. The book itself is among the most mystical text. And so when you do that connection and you look at the Mercaba, you can really get the idea that it creates the connection to another realm. but then also I do believe too that people who wear it do sense some sort of a portal into something else. Is it possible that the Murcaba that is still worn by millions of people today was inspired by an extraterrestrial visitation? And if so, might this be true of other talismans as well?

And the belief that inanimate objects can be imbued with energy. Perhaps further clues can be found by examining the most prominent, most prominent and mysterious talismans of ancient Egypt. Thebes, Egypt. Here in the 1830s, British Egyptologist Sir John Gardner Wilkinson discovered the earliest known version of what the ancient Egyptians referred to as the Book of the Dead. This text, dating back 3,600 years, was a key component of Egyptian funerary rituals and detailed as many as 75 talismanic objects, each with a specific purpose for both the living and the dead.

Ancient Egyptian magic was based on the idea that the gods could imbue an object with magical powers, with superpowers. That a person holding one of these talismans actually possessed the power of the god and then could heal themselves, protect themselves, manipulate their environment. The Egyptians utilized talismans in a very special way. The actual physical object of the talisman, what it was created from, is important. Was it a scarab carved out of lapis lazuli? Was it an important stone? How was it inscribed? The ancient Egyptians often made talismans from a type of limestone called lapis lazuli, which

they believed would provide good fortune, as well as protection during the journey to the afterlife. Another powerful talismatic material was Moldivite, a type of green glass formed by a meteor impact superheating the desert sand. A protective heart scarab made of Moldovite was found in the tomb of King Tut. And the Egyptians believed it provided a connection to the cosmos. The origins of the Moldovite are extraterrestrial, and people believe that you can use the stone as a talisman to connect. with extraterrestrial energy. It's bringing the properties that are from an extraterrestrial world into ours.

For the ancient Egyptians, just as important as the material from which a talisman was made, was the shape that it took. The design of each talisman invoked a certain energy. The people believe they could gain access to the gods through, well, little figurines of the gods or animals, although some of them were very obstrued. even technological looking. Arguably, one of the oldest and certainly the most popular and common talismans in human history is the Egyptian

Ankh, which is sometimes called the Key of Life, which resembles a cross with a loop on the top of it. The onks symbolized the goddess Isis. Carrying the Ankh was believed to imbue you with a life force and a vitality that came directly as a gift from the goddess herself. The Ankh is of enormous importance to the Egyptians, and you have gods carrying them, especially the god Anubis, the jackal-headed god, who ushers you into the afterlife. And when he points it towards the mummy of the deceased, is aiding in the first stages of resurrection and indeed reincarnation. This is Andrew Collins, author of Origins of the Gods.

The ANC often associated with a second symbol known as the Jed Pillar. This was the representation of the backbone of the god named Osiris. What the jet pillar represented in terms of talismonic use was stability. Carrying the jet pillar was to keep you stable and to protect you from chaos. The forces of evil in Egyptology were the forces of chaos. And these two symbols together represented life and stability, and they were shown being given by a god to the current Pharaoh to bring stability to his or her own reign during their lifetime. But beyond this, it was a symbol of communication, also with the gods themselves. In Egyptian mythology, the gods Osiris and Isis are husband and wife, and they came to earth from the birth.

belt stars of the Orion constellation. When the talismans that represent them, the Ankh and the Jed Pillar were combined, it was believed to facilitate a connection to these otherworldly entities. And in some cases, these objects were associated with a third talisman, the Was Scepter. The Was Scepter was a type of baton, a scepter, and at the top, there was the representation of an animal's head. Most often, believed to be a jackal. It was a symbol of dominion. It was a symbol of power.

The Wa' Scepter was used by the gods, and the Wa' Scepter was also used by the Pharaoh. The Was Scepter was not used by common people. It was only used by people of power. The Waugh Scepter combined with the Onk and the Jet Pillar becomes a symbol of absolute power. You have to ask the question, well, how are they related? And frankly, especially the Jet Pillar and the Wassepter.

they look very technological in origin. What is curious about the Jed Pillar is its resemblance to a Tesla coil or an electrical conductor. Is it possible therefore that the ancient Egyptians modelled the Jed pillar on some kind of device that they had that could generate electricity? My question is, is it possible that the ancient Egyptians modeled the Jedpillar on some kind of device that they had that could generate electricity? My question is, is it possible that the ancient Egyptian Egyptians witnessed far-advanced technology that they then misinterpreted as magic. And therefore, a mythology was created around these objects suggesting, well, if you have an onk around your neck or if you have a jet pillar around your neck or something like this,

it is imbued with power. Here is David Childress, author of Technology of the Gods. Would seem these jed pillars, which people would carry around as omulets, were imitations of really high-tech extraterrestrial devices. The three powerful talismans of ancient Egypt inspired scepters that are still incorporated in royal ceremonies today, like those used for the coronation of King Charles III of England in 2023. And they continue to symbolize divinely granted authority. The British monarchy is the classic example of a modern monarchy that still uses talismans, the scepter that have these ancient antecedents in Egypt that conveyed the idea that the monarch is now separated from humans and is much closer to the gods than any other human being on earth.

Could it be that ceremonial objects still being used today are rooted in ancient talismans that were fashioned after extraterrestrial technology. Perhaps further clues can be found by examining talismans that represent the gods themselves. All, pay off your home, travel for life, drive a Ferrari.

In cultures throughout the world, there are talismans that take the shape of divine or celestial beings and are believed to hold a connection to the entities they depict. In some cultures, these talismans are even considered to be alive. In Buddhism and many other East Asian religious traditions, statues or iconographic representations of deities are paramount.

And typically, when carving a statue that represents a deity, the last part to be carved are the eyes, because that's what gives them life. So they're considered to be alive, and at the point when the eyes are opened, This is when the essence of the deity descends into the statue or the image. They are venerated, of course. They are cleaned and washed.

They are fed through offerings. And these are considered to be the equivalent to having the deity present in front of you. For ancient astronaut theorists, some of the most intriguing talismanic objects ever made can be found on the East Asian islands of Japan. Here, the Jemone people who emerged roughly 12,000 years ago, created thousands of figurines depicting strange humanoid beings. Thomas Casulas is the author of Shinto, The Way Home.

The earliest culture that we can identify in Japan is the Jomone, which is originally a stone age culture, running roughly from 10,000 BCE to 300 BCE. The little that we do know about the Jomon comes from archaeological evidence. And one of the most representative artifacts that is tied to the Jomon is the Dogu statue. There are over 15,000 dogu figurines

that date back to the Jomon period that are spread all over Japan. They are thought to be some kind of talismanic object, but their appearance is very striking. They're humanoid in form, but they don't look like anything properly human. Many of them have heart-shaped heads, and they wear suits that seem otherworldly.

A variety of these dogu figurines also seem to be wearing goggles, as one would find on astronaut helmets or some kind of advanced technology. If you go to Japan today at the museums, you can find countless Dogu statues, and some of which are still used today in Japanese households in a shrine. The Shinto religion suggests that any inanimate object

can be imbued with a soul. And Shintoism is the primary religion of Japan. According to Shinto tradition, certain objects can come to life. They can become animate and sentient as well. Household objects, everyday objects, tools can become animate and even enlightened. They worship what they call the Kami,

which are these celestial beings that come down from their celestial palace in the sky. And these figurines look like these humanoid beings that are in some type of spacesuits. And of course the ancient astronaut's suggestion is that they were created after the extraterrestials visited Earth in a remote past. Could it be that the mysterious Dogu figures are, in fact, imbued with some type of metaphysical energy? And if so, might this energy have been imparted by otherworldly beings that the Dogu were modeled after? You have also these figurines from Sumeria that are showing people with these extremely large eyes.

They also are talismans, and they look very much like extraterrestrials. They would carry them around in their pocket or in a little altar in their house. In Sierra Leone, Africa, hundreds of strange humanoid figurines with amphibian features were unearthed in the 1990s. Called the anomaly, they are believed to date back at least 17,000 years. In southern Iraq, figurines of reptilian humanoids have been discovered that date to 5,900 BC. And perhaps the most mysterious artifacts of all are the large-eyed clay figures found in Telbrock, Syria, that are more than 5,500 years old. You have the figurines that were unearthed at Telbrac, and they have large eyes, and they are very, very much reminiscent.

In some cases, it's not identical to the image of aliens of grays. When we think of E.T., the image that comes to mind is always the really large eyes. They are very, very reminiscent of even E.T. himself from the movie. Tens of thousands of these objects have been recovered, and it's enormously intriguing. to find this similarity of design in objects among ancient people who were separated by vast differences in culture, custom language. Were these mythological ideas, or did they come from actual experiences with aliens who were then perceived to be sky gods? Is it possible that the gods depicted in many ancient talismans are representations of otherworldly beings that our ancestors, that our ancestors, actually encountered.

Ancient astronaut theorists say, yes, and as further evidence, point to special talismans that feature writings and symbols, said to have been sent down from the heavens. Shanlurfa, Turkey. Here on a rocky mountain top stands one of the oldest and most astonishing archaeological sites in the world. Gobeckley-Tepae. This ancient megalithic complex features nearly two dozen enormous T-shaped limestone pillars, and has been dated to roughly 10,000 BC, long before the first known writing or the invention of the wheel. Gobeckley-Tepa features many carvings that include depictions of animals, human hands, and intricately designed symbols.

But most intriguing to ancient astronaut theorists is a carving of three handbags. The oldest symbols in all iconography is the handbag. When we go back to Gobeckli-Tepi, 12,000 years old, we find the carving of these three handbags that appear above this bird-like creature. And what's fascinating about this is that you can find carvings of similar handbags about 400 miles to the south where the ancient Samarians live. And there, the handbags are held by these winged figures with bird-like heads called Ananaki. We find them at Tula in Mexico. What is the meaning of this handbag? All around the world, on many carvings and figurines and drawings,

you see these ancient deities holding on to some sort of a handbag. This motif of a handbag exists worldwide in pretty much all of them. ancient cultures. Is it merely coincidence that this mysterious handbag motif is repeated around the world and in a vast range of cultures? Ancient astronaut theorists say no. And some suggest that these bags have a connection to talismans. One theory is that these handbags are containers of talismans brought by the gods that contain all the wisdom of the universe. The The ancient Sumerian texts tell us that these handbags contained the May tablets of the gods. These are the tablets of destiny, the tablets of civilization, the tablets that contain all the working

knowledge of the earthly world as well as the heavenly world. The Sumerian tablets also tell of a figure named Adapa, who is the bringer of civilization, and carried a bag that contained all the knowledge that humanity would ever need. They may have been literally handbags in that they contain something very useful. The ancient priests, almost across the board, we're talking ancient Egyptian, Sumer, you name it. They one way or another would communicate, they believed, with the gods or spirits, who would give them information.

And what if these handbags contained something that was significant and highly important to their rituals? While researchers can only speculate as to the true meaning behind the handbag motif found throughout the world, other talismans exist that, according to those that create them, are directly inspired by otherworldly beings. There's a special class of talismans in East Asian traditions that are considered to be the most powerful and they are actually inscribed in an illegible language that is considered to be the language of the gods.

Known as Fulu, these talismans can be found in Taoist, Buddhist, and Shinto traditions. Very little is known about the origin of the Fulu, and they are made even more mysterious by the fact that they feature script that does not belong to any earthly language. Fulu are made by priests who claim to receive visions of so-called magic writing.

Although the priests are not able to comprehend this writing, they understand it to be the language of the gods and inscribe what they see on objects such as coins or amulets. They're typically made up of commands or injunctions or requests addressed to divine beings in their own language. They are revealed spontaneously sometimes in dreams or through visions. And another feature of these extremely powerful talism is that they are adorned with constellations.

And these function, in some cases, as a way to call down the gods from those stars. In other cases, they can actually function as passports to an ecstatic journey from Earth to the stars directly. The practitioner either leaves their body to go directly to those stars or experiences this through a series of very, powerful inspirational visions.

Some of the most powerful talismans are inscribed with messages received through some kind of divine source. It's almost like the higher intelligence is speaking to you directly. It would seem that certain talismans they could all be inspired by extraterrestrials. If objects like the Fulu and the mysterious hand

bags depicted in various cultures possess a real link to otherworldly beings, then might they contain some type of hidden power? Perhaps further clues can be found by examining a recent scientific experiment that appeared to capture a thermal anomaly triggered by a talisman. Vatican City April 17, 2022. On Easter Sunday, thousands gathered in St. Peter Square bow their heads as Pope Francis performs the liturgy of the Eucharist and consecrates the offerings of bread and wine. According to Roman Catholic tradition, during the Mass, the priest is empowered by the prayers that energize the bread and the wine

such that they become transformed or transubstantiated into the living presence of the body and blood of Christ. Transubstantiation is one of the Catholic Church's most exalted mysteries. And Catholics believe that through this transubstantiation miracle or process, somehow these ordinary wavers and ordinary wine become, as a matter of fact, the blood and body of Jesus. In the example of the Catholic Mass, the recitation of the Eucharist prayer is believed to infuse the bread and wine with an outside energy. Similarly, many cultures hold the belief that talismans can become energized through spoken words or sacred sounds.

Throughout all sorts of cultures, ancient African cultures, South American, Sumer, ancient Egypt, you name it. The power of the word was quite something. Egyptians used magical words over all the talismans, talismans that they carried, talismans that they buried the dead with. All of these items would have magical words spoken over them, chanted over them. In South Asian traditions, tantric Buddhism, for example, or Hinduism, and even Jainism, the power of the spoken word is paramount. The words unlock divine potential in talismans. Spoken words and sacred sounds also play a critical.

role in Native American rituals, especially in connection to certain places or objects. If you go to Native American ceremonies, you see that repeating certain phrases are essential to the ritual. The words are the conveyor. The word is the portal to the sacred dimension. Is it possible that certain words, when spoken, can imbue objects with talismanic power? Perhaps unlocking gateways to other dimensions and even otherworldly beings. Ancient astronaut theorists say, yes, and point to recent experiments conducted at one of the most mysterious sites in the world. Skinwalker Ranch, located in northern Utah. This 512-acre property has been a hotbed of UFO sightings and other mysterious.

phenomena for more than a century. Today, a team of researchers, which includes astrophysicist Dr. Travis Taylor, is conducting scientific experiments across the property and has documented numerous startling anomalies, including a number of unidentified aerial phenomena, some of which have vanished into thin air. According to the traditions of the indigenous Navajo people in the Uinta Basin, The phenomenon that occurs on Skinwalker Ranch is actually related to interdimensional portals. And they believe that by utilizing certain words and sound frequencies, particularly in conjunction

with talismanic objects, these portals can be opened. Here is Navajo Nation Ranger John Dover. Within Native American culture, there are music, there's chants. There's things that are done at a certain frequency, and we believe that it's very possible that different frequencies can open portals to other places. In 2022, an organization of indigenous tribal members, known as Blazing Bear, were invited to Skinwalker Ranch in order to perform an ancient song ritual near a megalithic spiral of boulders. A formation that was created centuries ago and is believed to hold talismanic power. A circle of stones that were purposely set up in a circle could be a portal area. Maybe with all our scientific instruments, we can nail it down a little better.

As night falls on Skinwalker Ranch, the Blazing Bear drummers continue their song ritual near the spiral of boulders. The investigative team filmed the event using a thermal camera. And almost immediately, they spotted an anomaly. Well, when they started singing, the temperature literally changed. Look at the top of the mesa. Eric, the stone circle is where it's heating up on top of the mesa. Are you kidding me? You should see this.

This is fascinating. Right there, that's where the stone circle is. And it's heating up. Look how hot it's getting. Is it possible that a spiral of boulders was imbued with talismanic powers by the words and sounds of an ancient, sacred ritual? While many cultures throughout history have believed that sounds can infuse objects with otherworldly powers, there are those who suggest even more profound talismans can be created from the remains of the dead. Clay figurines believed to be sentient.

Coins inscribed with the language of the gods. A spiral of boulders said to open an interdimensional portal. Many talismans are considered to possess great power, but perhaps none more than the remains of holy figures. Human remains have been used as talismans since the beginning of time. In the last 2,000 years, we've taken. tend to think of human remains in terms of relics. Holy relics used primarily by Christians in order to connect them

to the saints who they are praying to as an intercessor between them and to God. It's the idea that just being in the presence of this tiny bit of bone is touching you with the divine. The tip of a little finger belonging to St. John the Baptist, for example, has become hotly contested over the century. Because saints and other holy figures are seen as transcending humanity and having a connection to the divine,

their remains are considered to hold special power. With these talismans, it's as if that energy, that power that these people had, is still embedded in pieces of their body, such as bones or skulls or hair. While it may sound like a primitive notion that a bone fragment or a piece of fabric retains a connection to the person it once belonged to, some researchers suggest it is not so far-fetched and point to the modern-day scientific concept of quantum entanglement. Quantum entanglement says that if two objects, particles were ever connected, they're forever connected. And you can link with being clear across the universe through an object. object through quantum entanglement.

Michiocaku, PhD, is the author of The Future of Humanity. Quantum entanglement is based on the idea that electrons are like waves, and if I have two electrons right next to each other, they wave simultaneously, coherently. If I separate them, there's a invisible umbilical core that connects these two, even if I separate them to the ends of the universe. Is that what talismans are ultimately all about? Some kind of quantum entanglement device? A god originally touched or possessed an object, and it still has the energy of that God.

I think it's very possible. Could there really be a scientific explanation behind the ancient notion that objects can possess a connection to some otherworldly power? And if so, was this taught to our ancestors by extraterritorial. terrestrial visitors. The mythology brings us back to this idea of the gods. Were these mythological ideas, or did they come from actual experiences with aliens who were then perceived to be sky gods, aliens who came forth and communicated?

It may be that really in the past, the early talismans were E.T. technology, real divine that could do things. We see talismans in pretty much any culture in modern day society because of belief. It is faith in an object that it is imbued with some sort of a divine or celestial power. And you have to ask the question, why? A thing that has to do with extraterrestrials that visited Earth in a remote past? Could it be that the talismans we continue to care carry with us and revere provide a connection to an incredible past when ancient people

encountered visitors from other worlds. And if so, is this connection merely symbolic, or might these objects of veneration possess a profound power that we are not yet equipped to understand? Perhaps it is through talismans that our extraterrestrial ancestors have remained among us, all along.
