Relics from Beyond Ancient Aliens

Glen Rose, Texas. This rural southern town has a population of only 2,500, but may hold one of the most incredible archaeological artifacts ever found. At the Creation Evidence Museum is an ancient hammer known as the London Artifact, named after the central Texas town where it was discovered in 1936. The hammer itself was found in the Travis Formation. It's a concretion of sandstone. And it usually takes about 140 million years for this to form. That would put it at 140 million years old. Mainstream scientists contend that the first modern humans emerged only 200,000 years ago. But if so, how is it possible that such an artifact exists? The hammer was scientifically analyzed in the 1980s by two independent labs. The Creation Science Foundation, based in Australia, and the Battelle Memorial Laboratory in Columbus, Ohio. Incredibly, both labs concluded that the hammer could indeed be over 100 million years old. Part of the handle actually is starting to go through a process called coalification. It's where you have inorganic material and organic material changing into coal. This is something that just simply can't happen in the span of, say, 100 years. Like most people saying, oh, this is nothing more than a hammer that was left behind by a would-be prospector from the mid-1800s. In addition to coalification, the handle of the hammer shows signs of petrification. This process of the organic wood being replaced by mineral crystals takes millions of years. Test results concluded that the material on the hammerhead consisted of 96.6% iron, 2.6% chlorine, and less than 1% sulfur. Incredibly, this material contained no carbon to indicate modern manufacturing. When we were making steel for tools, part of the process is to use a blast furnace to remove carbon out of it completely, but we always have about 0.2% to 2% left over. There's always a carbon signature on our steel, but there wasn't any carbon whatsoever that was found in this particular material. This object may be as old as 140 million years. And obviously, that's a crazy proposition if you think that modern-day archaeology suggests that we've only been around for about 10,000 years, you know, creating stuff with our own hands. So this falls into the category of out-of-place artifacts, artifacts that shouldn't exist. The Melanesian Islands off the coast of Papua New Guinea, 8th century A.D. According to legend, Aboriginal tribal leaders set sail east toward the Hawaiian Islands. They carry with them a highly revered ancestral crystal skull. Today, that skull, known as Synergy, is under the care of guardian Sherry Whitfield. It was given to her as a gift by a European businessman. When I first got the skull, I only knew a little bit of the history of it. I knew that it had come across the Pacific in a reed canoe, it had been in Hawaii on Easter Island with the people of the sky. In the 1600s, the skull was given to a young nun in Peru. On her deathbed in 1720, she passed the skull to a native family and said, keep the skull until the right person comes. And she gave them the history and they disappeared into the jungle. In 2005, Whitfield was contacted by a representative of the Aboriginal tribe who saw a photograph of Synergy in a newspaper. And he said he brought the photos and he brought the little skull to the shaman and the chief and everything stopped. And they declared 24 hours of feasting and telling stories about the skulls. It was really cool because really they don't talk that much about the skulls in their everyday life. It's part of their sacred secrets and their teachings. Now, they say that they didn't make the skull, that it was passed to them as a legacy. So it's an ancestral object. Their legend is that their tribe was started by a white man and a black man, twins. Their whole religion revolves around twins and they have the twin of this skull. Their legends are that there were two of these skulls made identical. There's a powerful spirit in crystal skulls. Melanesia is populated by all different classifications of spirits, of ancestral spirits, meaning spirits of the remote ancestors that have to do with a particular group's creation story or recently dead ancestors. Spiritual energy in Melanesian society is just not for people. It can be in places, in objects, in plants, in animals. The notion of a spiritual energy that resides in inanimate objects is widespread throughout the South Pacific. Anthropologists who studied Melanesian societies in the 19th and early 20th centuries termed this supernatural force mana. The idea of mana is that there is a divine magical energy that is both the source of life and a kind of animating presence in things, in places, in people. There is reverence for specific objects because they seem particularly strong in this magical power. Some believe that the power comes from ancestral sources and that the older the ancestors, the greater the power. These things are incredibly important to the people in all aspects of life, like warfare, hunting, gardening, fishing, any type of thing that normal human beings can't control. And these objects, with this ancestral spirit energy, if you control them right and access them right and speak to them right and get their permission and get their aid and get their help, they can, in effect, pre-kill your enemy prior to battle. Is it really possible for objects like crystal skulls to be possessed by otherworldly spirits as South Pacific Islanders believe? And if so, where do these spirits come from? In the South Pacific, their ancestral myths talk about people descending from the sky. One of the mythologies talks about two brothers descending from the sky, Bar-Kul-Kul and Mar-A-Lul, and the time in which they spent, it was considered to be the Golden Age. After that time ended, guess what? The two of them went back up into the sky to return where they came from, the stars. The core message of crystal skulls is that our ancestors are very specific, that these are divine, that these are ancient. Some of them are definitely known to be used for divination, whereby somebody basically makes contact with an intelligence who is either contactable or resident within this crystal skull. Temple Mount, Jerusalem, summer 2013. Just 164 feet from the Temple Mount's southern wall, archaeologist Dr. Eilat Mazar makes a stunning discovery, an inscribed earthenware jug that dates back 3,000 years, to the time of King Solomon. The discovery may confirm what many historians have suggested, that Solomon's Temple once stood at this exact location. In addition to the historical significance, the find intrigues treasure hunters, as it may indicate that other, much more valuable relics may also lie buried at Temple Mount. Solomon's Temple was built in the 10th century B.C. by the great king of Israel, Solomon, and it was built initially to house the Ark of the Covenant. According to the Hebrew Bible, Solomon's Temple was constructed upon direct orders from God. Although it is best known for having housed the Ark of the Covenant, and possibly even the Holy Grail, some treasure hunters believe another relic of profound historical significance may lie buried at the site, a relic that ancient astronaut theorists claim is of extraterrestrial origin, Solomon's Ring. One of the lesser known great treasures of history is Solomon's Ring, and it is said that this ring had the name of God engraved upon it in a very secret and cryptic way. The ring was representative of the authority from beyond this world. The wielder of that ring would be able to compel any and all who recognized that source of extraterrestrial power to do whatever he wished. In the Islamic records, the Ring of Solomon was given to him by angels. It gave him magical powers. Through this ring, he could control the djinn, or genies. According to both the Quran and the Hebrew Talmud, Solomon's Ring also aided him in constructing the Temple itself. Somehow this ring gave him the power to control otherworldly beings, for want of a better term, demons, you can call them genies, or you can call them extraterrestrials. Solomon was in need of a higher technology in order to build his temple. He knew that he had to contact Ashmodai, later known by the Greek name Asmodeus, who was the head of the demons. With this ring, clearly none of human origins, Ashmodai was hereby compelled and required to provide for Solomon whatever he needed to fulfill the building of the Temple of God. So Ashmodai gave to Solomon something called a shamir. Now the shamir is described in traditional literature as this little worm that you put on the stone and would cut it precisely. The shamir was a quote unquote worm that could cut and drill through even the hardest of stones rather with ease. What if this shamir was some type of laser cutting device? Is it possible that Solomon possessed an extraterrestrial device wielding incredible power? Power that gave its bearer control and command of otherworldly beings? And if so, might this explain the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Solomon's ring? Solomon's ring, like many of the other temple treasures, like the Ark of the Covenant, were considered too hot to handle by average human beings. These things were concealed when the time was made proper. In 586 BC, the first temple, Solomon's temple, was destroyed, sacked by Nebuchadnezzar, the Babylonian king. One theory holds that the most fabulous treasure we can almost conceive of, gold, silver, the Ark of the Covenant, possibly Solomon's ring, are buried in a secret chamber beneath the Temple Mount. Could the ring of Solomon, like the Ark of the Covenant, have been hidden somewhere under Temple Mount for hundreds of years? Or has it been discovered and secreted away to another location? In 1867, British army engineers mapped the vault under the temple ruins and discover pointed arches with keystones after the Gothic style. Archaeologists would later discover artifacts including a sword, a spur, a lance, and a small cross, all of which belonged to the 12th century warrior monks known as the Knights Templar. Originally formed in 1118 AD to protect pilgrims traveling to Jerusalem, the Knights Templar were based at Temple Mount. During their time in Jerusalem, the group of warrior monks rose from relative obscurity to being the most powerful order of the Crusades. By 1139, the Pope makes them answerable to nobody except himself. When you look at ancient biblical histories, and I do treat them as histories, basically the Ark of the Covenant and Solomon's ring are the two most powerful weapons of the Bible, and the possession of either one of those would have made their order, the Knights Templar, virtually invincible. Saqqara, Egypt. Located roughly 20 miles south of Cairo, it is home to the world-famous Step Pyramid of King Djoser. Dating back more than 4,000 years, it is the oldest of Egypt's 97 pyramids. Saqqara is also famous for being one of Egypt's oldest burial grounds, earning it the nickname City of the Dead. It was here in 1891 that French archaeologists unearthed an ancient tomb containing the burial remains of Padi Iman, an official from the 3rd century BC. Among the various items discovered was a small wooden model of what appeared to be a bird, lying beside a papyrus bearing the inscription, I want to fly. The artifact was later sent to the Cairo Museum, where authorities placed it alongside several other bird figurines. The model sat largely unnoticed, until 1969, when Egyptologist Dr. Khalil Masih was examining the bird collection, and noticed that there was something very different about the Saqqara bird. It's interesting because on one hand clearly it should look like a bird, because it has eyes and has a typical nose of a bird. On the other hand, the wings are clearly not bird wings. To the middle of the rump, you see the wing is a bit thicker. In this region, the lift up is the highest. The whole thing becomes thinner to the end of the wings, and those wings are modelled down. And this is a very modern aerodynamic design. Then the other point is, birds have no rudders, because a bird does not need a rudder because of its aerodynamic architecture. And so there is the idea that they are not representing birds, but flying machines or aircraft. Could the ancient Egyptians have possessed the power of flight? In 2006, aviation and aerodynamics expert Simon Sanderson built a scale model of the Saqqara bird, five times larger than the original, to test that possibility. We're running at a constant speed, slowly increasing the angle of attack, and then measuring the forces which it's producing. That way we can learn about its flight characteristics. At ten degrees, we're producing four times weight in lift, so it actually would be flying now. That's good. Tests show the Saqqara bird is a highly developed glider. And this is a design we use today. During the Sanderson tests, it was discovered that the only thing preventing the Saqqara bird from achieving flight was the lack of a rear stabilizing rudder, or elevator, needed to maintain balance. Is it possible that the Saqqara bird ever possessed this critical component? What is missing is something like an elevator. But if you look at this feature here, then we may interpret that something like an elevator was connected here, but was lost during history. Computer models seem to confirm that the Saqqara bird is certainly airworthy. But there is another problem to consider. Launching a glider. Modern methods require the use of a towplane that pulls the glider into the air, then releases it when a proper altitude is reached. So how might the ancient Egyptians have launched the Saqqara bird? The scientifics of Egyptology told us that such a bird could be powered off by catapults to fly. And we had a high acceptance by Egyptian scientists. The idea of using a catapult does have a contemporary parallel. Many of today's glider enthusiasts employ a bungee cord system to launch their sailcraft into the air. But if the Saqqara bird is capable of flight, where would ancient Egyptians have acquired such technology? I think that people in ancient times were visited by beings coming not from this earth, and they gave us culture and scientific technologies to improve our life on earth, coming from the primitive to a higher developed culture.
