Giza Plateau, Egypt.
The Great Pyramid is arguably the most enigmatic structure
on the face of the Earth.
It is the only surviving wonder of the ancient world
and has inspired endless speculation
as to how it was built and what purpose it served.
Ever since the first studies of the Great Pyramid in Egypt
have been made, researchers have been amazed
at the mathematical knowledge that is encoded
into the Great Pyramid, the measurements that
are used in it.
Even the placement of the Great Pyramid
has aroused great interest among Egyptologists.
The Great Pyramid is aligned to within 3 60th
of a degree of north, a more accurate alignment
than any other structure on Earth.
When you look at the Great Pyramid's alignment,
it's aligned very, very close to true north.
Even more interesting is to think about tracking back
in time because the Earth's axis has been shifting slowly.
It's what we call processes.
And so if there's been a shift in that alignment,
it could be that it was even more accurately aligned
to north in the past when they built it.
The Great Pyramid is not only perfectly aligned
to the cardinal points, its placement on the Earth
is seemingly intentional as well.
If you pass a great circle from the Great Pyramid
through its cardinal and its ordinal directions,
what you find is that these circles will pass through more
landmass of the Earth than any other location on the Earth.
You find that the Great Pyramid is essentially
located at the center of the world's landmass.
Since the first accurate survey of the Great Pyramid
in 1925, mathematicians and researchers
have discovered even more profound connections relating
to geodetic information or information
pertaining to the measurement and representation
of the Earth encoded in its design.
The Great Pyramid was built the level
of technological sophistication far in excess of anything
that we have today.
They don't use the inch as we normally have it
in the English system.
It's the cubit.
And what's interesting about this cubit
is that it is exactly 1 25 millionth of the polar diameter
of the Earth, meaning the distance from the North Pole
to the South Pole of the Earth.
Chop it up into 25 million pieces.
There's your cubit.
It's perfect.
So if you actually take the length of the Great Pyramid
at its mean socket level, which is the corners
of the actual building, it translates
into 365.24 pyramid cubits, which just happens
to be the Earth a year right down to a quarter day.
The measurements of the length and width
of the perimeter of the Great Pyramid
correspond to an exact fraction of both the latitude
and longitude measurements at the equator.
Scaled up, this means the Great Pyramid directly
corresponds to the circumference of the equator
as well as the measurement from the equator to the pole,
making it a scale model of the Northern Hemisphere.
Recently, using satellite technology,
researchers have realized yet another advanced formula
encoded in the design.
If you take the location of the Great Pyramid
as a coordinate, this number sequence of this coordinate
matches exactly the speed of light traveling through space
measured in meters per second.
This is amazing stuff.
When you consider the vast amount of information
about the Earth that's encoded into the Great Pyramid,
you can't just dismiss all of this as pure coincidence.
The Valley of the Kings, Egypt, the Taj Mahal, Agra, India,
and King Pakal's tomb, Palenque, Mexico.
Spectacular burial sites that date back thousands of years
are found across the world.
According to mainstream researchers,
these locations are the final resting
places for ancient leaders.
But might they also serve a more profound, perhaps
extraterrestrial purpose?
Why do we have the most massive of constructions
in the far and distant past?
Well, and according to the ancient texts
and the ancient traditions, this knowledge
was given to our ancestors by the gods.
If the sole function of tombs was to house the dead,
then why are virtually all of these connected to notions
of spiritual energy, images of astronomy,
and a strong belief in the existence of other, arguably
more spiritual worlds?
All cultures share this notion of somehow opening a doorway,
opening a stargate, opening a gateway to another dimension
so the soul can return.
We know that it is meant because the soul is going to go
on a voyage to the afterlife.
In the ancient world, there was a view
that this life that we have, this physical life,
is our opportunity to prepare ourselves
for a vast destiny that lies beyond this life.
Could ancient tombs really have served another, more
extraterrestrial purpose, perhaps as portals
to reunite the deceased with celestial beings?
Many ancient astronaut theorists believe the answers
can be found by taking a closer look at the mysterious texts
of ancient Egypt.
Saqqara, situated on the west bank of the Nile River,
20 miles south of Cairo, this archaeological site
is one of the oldest and largest burial grounds in all of Egypt.
Overlooking the immense necropolis
lies the pyramid of King Teti, the first ruler
of Egypt's sixth dynasty.
Teti built his pyramid and an adjoining mortuary temple
during his reign more than 4,000 years ago.
Now, this pyramid is very important.
It contains the oldest religious writing in the world,
the pyramid texts.
According to archaeologists, the pyramid texts
are a collection of ancient Egyptian religious writings
that date back to 2,400 BC.
They contain passages about Osiris, the Egyptian god
of the afterlife, and descriptions
of how to prepare the pharaoh's remains during his ascent
to the heavens after death.
But according to ancient astronaut theorists,
the pyramid texts didn't only guide the pharaoh
to an afterlife.
They actually provided instruction
on how the pharaoh could travel to other worlds.
What is important to realize is that the ancient Egyptians say
that about 25,000 years ago, the gods lived amongst them.
Then they disappeared again.
What the pyramid texts are saying
is that we, the ancient Egyptians specifically,
of course, are able to reach the gods again.
For this, we have to die.
But once we're dead, we're able to join the gods once again.
What we're talking about is some kind
of other dimensional travel for the soul to undertake.
The Nile Delta, Egypt.
A small centimeters wide trail is cut in the desert floor
by the rolling cocoon of a dung beetle.
This strange looking two inch long insect,
also called a scarab, uses the dung
as both a source of nourishment and a place
for storing its eggs.
It will roll the ball in a straight line
despite all obstacles and is the only insect on Earth
known to navigate by following the light of the Milky Way
Galaxy.
Biologists just made this discovery in 2013.
But 5,000 years ago, with presumably no knowledge
of its unique connection to the stars,
the ancient Egyptians held the scarab as a sacred symbol,
representing a link to the gods.
Interesting that a great civilization could pay
so much attention to a little bug.
But it appears constantly throughout Egyptian temples
and hieroglyphics.
It's a very frequent image.
At the Temple of Karnak, overlooking the sacred lake,
where the pharaohs received their coronation,
a giant scarab beetle stands watch, representing
the Egyptian god Kepri.
The Egyptians saw the sun moving across the sky during the day.
Also around the desert sands, you'd see
beetles moving balls of dung.
And so the Egyptians thought that the force that
moved the sun across the sky was a giant scarab beetle god,
Kepri.
And they believe that the sun was what is known as the Eye
of Ra, which was Ra's chariot, or his flying machine.
And the thing that moved it, they believe,
was the scarab-headed god, Kepri.
And the scarab represented Kepri, the pilot, if you like,
of Ra's sun ship or barge.
It was basically a pilot to the gods.
But could there be another explanation
for why the Egyptians regarded Kepri as a pilot?
Ancient astronaut theorists suggest
that the representation of Kepri as a scarab,
and sometimes as a human with a scarab head,
may have been inspired by actual contact the Egyptians had
with an otherworldly being.
One has to wonder whether or not these beings actually
existed, because the ancient Egyptians were incredibly
proud in carving their history into countless of walls.
And according to the ancient astronaut theory,
we all came about through a deliberate mutation
of our genes.
And so it is entirely possible, in my opinion,
that some of those creatures that we
see depicted in reliefs and in carvings
might have actually existed in the past.
Is it possible the ancient Egyptians could have
encountered alien beings that had an insect-like appearance?
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes.
And as further evidence, point to the fact
that the Egyptians' obsession with the scarab
also extended to their funerary rituals.
Abydos, Egypt, seven miles west of the Nile.
Within this expansive archaeological site
lies the ruins of the Osiris Hall,
where thousands would gather to worship
the god of the underworld.
In comparison to many of the gods,
Osiris was actually thought to have lived physically on Earth
as one of Egypt's pharaohs.
He is often depicted with a winged disk of the sun.
And while many scholars have suggested
that this is nothing else but to worship the sun,
that sun, as far as the Egyptians were concerned,
also had wings and it descended from the sky.
So in my opinion, something else was depicted,
an extraterrestrial event that, in fact, took place
in real life.
Although most ancient astronaut theorists
believe that the Egyptian gods were, in reality,
extraterrestrial visitors, there are
many who wonder if Osiris was even made of flesh and blood.
One of the most famous stories that go hand in hand
with Osiris was that he was dismembered
by his jealous brother, Seth.
Seth went into a fury and tore his brother's dead body
to shreds, tore it into 14 pieces.
But Isis, the loyal wife, searched far and wide
and found the pieces and pulled it together.
Isis succeeded in resurrecting him.
Now, when I hear a story like that,
that a being is dismembered and then somebody
puts together those pieces and then they are
able to magically resurrect him, I have to ask the question,
is it possible that Osiris was not
some type of biological entity, but perhaps he was
some type of a machine or a robot?
For ancient astronaut theorists, perhaps the strongest evidence
that Osiris may have been a robot
can be found in the ancient pyramid texts, which
describe the symbol of the Jed Pillar as Osiris's spine.
Osiris, in his resurrected form, was
portrayed as a pillar that clearly resembles
a modern-day Tesla coil.
The Jed Pillar was considered a power pillar.
In this one carving at Abydos, it
is as if Isis has her hand inserted into Osiris's back.
And so perhaps it illustrates how she was manipulating Osiris.
Could it be that the story of Osiris
is something completely different than what
we have thought?
Is it possible that our ancestors encountered
highly sophisticated extraterrestrial robots
in the ancient past?
And if so, might there be some tangible evidence?
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes.
