00:00:04,405 --> 00:00:06,305
Wow.

PAUL DEVEREUX:
For 200 years archaeologists

4
00:00:09,577 --> 00:00:12,411
have been looking
at a silent movie,

5
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,179
but suddenly
we've got a soundtrack.

6
00:00:14,281 --> 00:00:16,315
We're trying to get
the sensory information

7
00:00:16,417 --> 00:00:20,386
that was there when these people
built these places.

8
00:00:22,823 --> 00:00:24,623
And we're picking up
the 110 hertz,

9
00:00:24,725 --> 00:00:27,826
and it's vibrating
around this whole area.

10
00:00:27,928 --> 00:00:29,895
-You can actually feel it
in your body. -Yes.

11
00:00:29,997 --> 00:00:32,664
That's quite amazing, actually.

12
00:00:32,767 --> 00:00:35,667
-(horn blows) -GIORGIO
TSOUKALOS: Many ancient cultures

13
00:00:35,770 --> 00:00:38,704
around the world
worshipped sound.

14
00:00:38,773 --> 00:00:41,640
Is it possible that sound

15
00:00:41,742 --> 00:00:43,542
has this incredible power

16
00:00:43,644 --> 00:00:46,612
with which you could
do certain things?

17
00:00:46,714 --> 00:00:48,947
DAVID CHILDRESS:
Is there some grand design

18
00:00:49,050 --> 00:00:50,215
from extraterrestrials

19
00:00:50,317 --> 00:00:53,218
that was harmonically tuning

20
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,854
all of these sites on Earth?

21
00:00:55,956 --> 00:00:59,491
DAVID WILCOCK: Extraterrestrials
are giving us clues

22
00:00:59,593 --> 00:01:02,027
that frequency
plays a much greater role

23
00:01:02,129 --> 00:01:05,731
in understanding matter,
energy, and consciousness

24
00:01:05,833 --> 00:01:08,834
than we allow for in our current
scientific paradigms.

25
00:01:08,936 --> 00:01:10,803

NARRATOR:
Baalbek, Lebanon.

27
00:01:42,870 --> 00:01:46,305
The 9,000-year-old
Temple of Jupiter

28
00:01:46,407 --> 00:01:48,974
contains three of the largest

29
00:01:49,076 --> 00:01:51,310
monolithic stones in the world,

30
00:01:51,412 --> 00:01:54,880
weighing approximately
1,000 tons--

31
00:01:54,982 --> 00:01:58,083
or two million pounds-- each.

32
00:01:58,185 --> 00:02:01,854
Puma Punku, Bolivia.

33
00:02:01,956 --> 00:02:04,923
Scattered across
a high desert plateau

34
00:02:05,025 --> 00:02:08,193
are precisely-cut
100-ton blocks,

35
00:02:08,295 --> 00:02:10,729
believed to date back

36
00:02:10,831 --> 00:02:15,701
at least 2,000 years,
and perhaps much earlier.

37
00:02:17,838 --> 00:02:20,739
The Giza Plateau, Egypt.

38
00:02:20,841 --> 00:02:22,674
The Great Pyramid is built

39
00:02:22,776 --> 00:02:26,512
from more than 2.3 million
limestone bricks,

40
00:02:26,614 --> 00:02:30,983
each weighing a staggering
5,000 pounds.

41
00:02:31,085 --> 00:02:35,287
All around the world
stand colossal monuments

42
00:02:35,389 --> 00:02:38,357
to mankind's ancient past;

43
00:02:38,459 --> 00:02:43,462
gigantic structures that have
endured for thousands of years,

44
00:02:43,564 --> 00:02:46,265
built with stone blocks
so massive

45
00:02:46,367 --> 00:02:49,168
that modern builders
have not even attempted

46
00:02:49,270 --> 00:02:51,170
to duplicate them.

47
00:03:00,481 --> 00:03:02,181
STEPHEN VANDER HART:
Our 988 Cat Loader

48
00:03:02,316 --> 00:03:04,249
can probably lift
a 22-ton boulder,

49
00:03:04,351 --> 00:03:06,051
just for perspective.

50
00:03:06,153 --> 00:03:09,354
And it can probably roll
and drag along the ground,

51
00:03:09,456 --> 00:03:11,590
uh, maybe a 40-ton boulder.

52
00:03:11,692 --> 00:03:15,027
But when you're talking
a 50-ton boulder,

53
00:03:15,095 --> 00:03:19,264
then we would need to bring in
cranes, hydraulic jacks,

54
00:03:19,366 --> 00:03:20,899
steel beams, girders.

55
00:03:21,001 --> 00:03:22,401
It's a whole nother
set of tools,

56
00:03:22,503 --> 00:03:24,336
even with modern-day technology.

57
00:03:24,438 --> 00:03:26,104
I mean, I can only imagine

58
00:03:26,207 --> 00:03:28,473
how they would move
boulders that size.

59
00:03:28,576 --> 00:03:30,342
It baffles my mind.

60
00:03:30,444 --> 00:03:31,910
I have no idea.

61
00:03:32,012 --> 00:03:33,378
It's crazy to think about.

62
00:03:35,049 --> 00:03:37,516
TSOUKALOS: How is it possible
that 10,000 years ago

63
00:03:37,618 --> 00:03:41,920
our ancestors moved around
the most massive of stones?

64
00:03:42,022 --> 00:03:43,555
Well, the answer is either

65
00:03:43,657 --> 00:03:45,357
another previous
super civilization

66
00:03:45,459 --> 00:03:47,292
existed here on Earth,

67
00:03:47,394 --> 00:03:53,365
or extraterrestrials imparting
technological knowledge to us.

68
00:03:53,467 --> 00:03:57,102
NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut
theorists suggest

69
00:03:57,204 --> 00:03:59,972
such structures
provide physical evidence

70
00:04:00,074 --> 00:04:03,375
that extraterrestrial beings
visited Earth

71
00:04:03,477 --> 00:04:06,945
and assisted our ancestors
in the distant past.

72
00:04:07,047 --> 00:04:10,182
And each of these
three megalithic sites,

73
00:04:10,284 --> 00:04:12,417
as well as numerous others,

74
00:04:12,519 --> 00:04:15,254
have very specific stories
behind them

75
00:04:15,356 --> 00:04:17,889
that say they were built,
not by men,

76
00:04:17,992 --> 00:04:23,228
but by the gods,
using the power of levitation.

77
00:04:23,330 --> 00:04:27,466
Some ancient mythologies
speak of the fact

78
00:04:27,568 --> 00:04:32,170
that some of these stones
were put into place with sound;

79
00:04:32,273 --> 00:04:37,476
that these things all of
a sudden levitated into place.

80
00:04:37,578 --> 00:04:42,381
What the local legend
of Stonehenge talks about

81
00:04:42,483 --> 00:04:44,650
is that those big stones

82
00:04:44,752 --> 00:04:48,987
were transported
by way of levitation.

83
00:04:50,658 --> 00:04:53,592
NARRATOR: Similar to the
mythical story of Stonehenge,

84
00:04:53,694 --> 00:04:57,496
the ancient legends
of Bolivia say that

85
00:04:57,598 --> 00:05:02,200
the megalithic stones of Puma
Punku were floated into place.

86
00:05:02,303 --> 00:05:05,203
In the fifth century BC,

87
00:05:05,306 --> 00:05:08,307
the Greek historian Herodotus
wrote that

88
00:05:08,409 --> 00:05:10,175
the Egyptians
were given knowledge

89
00:05:10,277 --> 00:05:12,044
from the guardians of the sky

90
00:05:12,146 --> 00:05:15,213
on how to float
the massive limestone blocks

91
00:05:15,316 --> 00:05:18,216
with which they built
the Great Pyramid.

92
00:05:18,319 --> 00:05:21,420
WILCOCK: What we see is
the very real possibility

93
00:05:21,522 --> 00:05:23,588
that extraterrestrial
civilizations visited Earth

94
00:05:23,691 --> 00:05:25,590
all throughout the world.

95
00:05:25,693 --> 00:05:29,194
And that each time they did,
they felt it was very important

96
00:05:29,296 --> 00:05:31,396
to impart this sacred knowledge

97
00:05:31,498 --> 00:05:35,233
about the importance
of acoustic frequencies

98
00:05:35,336 --> 00:05:39,304
in the keys to unlocking
the mysteries of the universe.

NARRATOR: The University
of Bristol, England.

January 17, 2017.

101
00:05:48,182 --> 00:05:51,683
Researchers unveil a prototype

102
00:05:51,785 --> 00:05:54,419
for what they call
a "portable tractor beam,"

103
00:05:54,521 --> 00:05:59,257
a handheld device
that can levitate small objects

104
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,259
using only sound waves.

105
00:06:05,065 --> 00:06:07,065
JASON MARTELL: Recently
the University of Bristol

106
00:06:07,167 --> 00:06:10,569
came up with a handheld device
with an array of speakers

107
00:06:10,671 --> 00:06:14,639
that allows the holder of this
to actually focus sound waves,

108
00:06:14,742 --> 00:06:16,375
and sound waves alone,

109
00:06:16,477 --> 00:06:21,613
and then levitate small pieces
of light material.

110
00:06:23,417 --> 00:06:25,517
So when we look at this
portable tractor beam,

111
00:06:25,619 --> 00:06:27,185
can we extrapolate the idea

112
00:06:27,287 --> 00:06:29,788
that this is a technology
in its infancy,

113
00:06:29,890 --> 00:06:33,024
where in ancient times
it was actually being used

114
00:06:33,127 --> 00:06:34,860
to levitate large stones?

115
00:06:34,962 --> 00:06:39,030
NARRATOR:
At Johns Hopkins University,

116
00:06:39,133 --> 00:06:40,899
biomedical engineers

117
00:06:41,001 --> 00:06:42,567
have manipulated
ultrasound frequencies

118
00:06:42,669 --> 00:06:45,137
-(steady beeping)
-to deliver specialized drugs

119
00:06:45,239 --> 00:06:50,776
to specific parts in the
brain with surgical precision.

120
00:06:50,878 --> 00:06:53,378
And mathematicians
at Cardiff University

121
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:54,713
have developed a method

122
00:06:54,815 --> 00:06:58,350
to literally stop a tsunami
in its tracks

123
00:06:58,419 --> 00:06:59,651
using acoustic waves.

124
00:06:59,753 --> 00:07:03,622
(waves crash, then stop)

125
00:07:03,724 --> 00:07:05,524
But while physicists are excited

126
00:07:05,626 --> 00:07:08,660
at the prospect
of using sound frequencies

127
00:07:08,762 --> 00:07:11,997
to levitate
and manipulate matter,

128
00:07:12,099 --> 00:07:14,166
they insist it is only
the beginning

129
00:07:14,268 --> 00:07:18,503
of a wave of cutting-edge
acoustic technology.

130
00:07:18,605 --> 00:07:22,607
Could these amazing new
scientific breakthroughs

131
00:07:22,709 --> 00:07:25,544
simply be the first steps
in replicating

132
00:07:25,646 --> 00:07:28,413
what our ancestors
had been taught to harness

133
00:07:28,515 --> 00:07:32,350
thousands of years ago?

134
00:07:32,419 --> 00:07:33,985
WILCOCK: What if these
scientific experiments

135
00:07:34,087 --> 00:07:35,687
that we're looking at
are leading us

136
00:07:35,789 --> 00:07:38,390
to a much greater surprise,

137
00:07:38,492 --> 00:07:42,027
which is that sound
can be followed through

138
00:07:42,129 --> 00:07:44,362
to much greater levels
of efficiency

139
00:07:44,465 --> 00:07:47,732
in its usefulness
for all sorts of things

140
00:07:47,835 --> 00:07:50,268
that seem to be impossible?

141
00:07:50,370 --> 00:07:55,106
We may be just seeing now the
very first steps in our society

142
00:07:55,209 --> 00:07:57,409
of a robust technology

143
00:07:57,511 --> 00:08:00,378
that extraterrestrial
intelligent civilizations

144
00:08:00,481 --> 00:08:03,048
have long since
developed and perfected.

At a symposium for

148
00:08:15,295 --> 00:08:18,363
the American Association
for the Advancement of Science,

149
00:08:18,465 --> 00:08:21,466
researchers gather to unveil
the latest discoveries

150
00:08:21,568 --> 00:08:24,803
in the burgeoning field
of archaeoacoustics.

151
00:08:24,905 --> 00:08:28,173
LINDA ENEIX: Archaeoacoustics
is a new field of study,

152
00:08:28,275 --> 00:08:32,244
multi-disciplinary, and we
are incorporating three facets:

153
00:08:32,346 --> 00:08:35,180
one would be archaeology,
anthropology,

154
00:08:35,282 --> 00:08:38,116
a second would be
sound and acoustics,

155
00:08:38,218 --> 00:08:40,886
the third would
be space and architecture.

156
00:08:43,423 --> 00:08:44,823
And all three of those areas

157
00:08:44,925 --> 00:08:47,526
are put together
to try to explore

158
00:08:47,628 --> 00:08:50,962
what was going on
with sound in ancient places.

NARRATOR:
Recent tests at Stonehenge

160
00:08:53,500 --> 00:08:55,267
suggest that
the megalithic stones

161
00:08:55,369 --> 00:08:58,470
were positioned to cause sound
wave interference patterns,

162
00:08:58,572 --> 00:09:02,207
similar to noise-cancelling
headphones,

163
00:09:02,309 --> 00:09:04,409
creating spots of total silence

164
00:09:04,511 --> 00:09:06,945

with these ideas that maybe
were considered pseudoscience

180
00:09:46,820 --> 00:09:48,687
for a long time.

181
00:09:48,789 --> 00:09:52,557
These days, it's beginning
to be taken seriously

182
00:09:52,659 --> 00:09:55,927
that sound belongs in the study
of the ancient world.

183
00:09:56,029 --> 00:09:58,730
TSOUKALOS:
Many ancient cultures

184
00:09:58,832 --> 00:10:02,400
around the world
worshipped sound

185
00:10:02,502 --> 00:10:06,237
because sound was deemed
to be divine in origin.

186
00:10:06,340 --> 00:10:09,507
(echoing trumpeting)

187
00:10:09,610 --> 00:10:13,278
Is it possible that
the reason why our ancestors

188
00:10:13,380 --> 00:10:17,716
talked about divine sound
is not necessarily because

189
00:10:17,818 --> 00:10:19,551
they were referring to music...

190
00:10:19,653 --> 00:10:21,720
(trumpeting)

191
00:10:21,822 --> 00:10:25,857
...but that sound has
this incredible power

192
00:10:25,959 --> 00:10:28,526
with which you could do
certain things...

193
00:10:28,629 --> 00:10:30,295
(sound stops)

194
00:10:30,397 --> 00:10:32,664
...but it's just that
we've lost this knowledge

195
00:10:32,766 --> 00:10:34,232
over the millennia?

196
00:10:34,334 --> 00:10:38,103
NARRATOR: According to
ancient astronaut theorists,

197
00:10:38,205 --> 00:10:40,572
there is evidence
that our ancestors

198
00:10:40,674 --> 00:10:42,807
utilized the power
of sound waves

199
00:10:42,909 --> 00:10:47,412
to accomplish amazing feats
that defied gravity.

200
00:10:47,514 --> 00:10:50,548
But might they have learned
of acoustic applications

201
00:10:50,651 --> 00:10:53,284
far more profound
than those involved

202
00:10:53,387 --> 00:10:55,453
in moving giant boulders?

203
00:10:55,555 --> 00:10:59,557
Perhaps further clues
can be found

204
00:10:59,660 --> 00:11:03,728
by examining some of ancient
man's most important structures;

205
00:11:03,830 --> 00:11:07,599
structures that weren't
built with sound,

206
00:11:07,701 --> 00:11:10,535
but built to make sound.

207
00:11:14,508 --> 00:11:16,841
Coming up.
NARRATOR:
Paola, Malta.

208
00:11:16,943 --> 00:11:19,444
Deep beneath this small town

209
00:11:19,546 --> 00:11:21,746
in the middle
of the Mediterranean Sea

210
00:11:21,848 --> 00:11:24,349
rests one of the oldest
subterranean structures

211
00:11:24,451 --> 00:11:25,984
in the world.

212
00:11:26,086 --> 00:11:29,287
ENEIX: On the islands of Malta,
there are prehistoric remains

213
00:11:29,389 --> 00:11:32,590
that are comprised
of megalithic underground sites,

214
00:11:32,693 --> 00:11:36,327
which were considered
to be communal burial sites.

215
00:11:36,430 --> 00:11:40,231
The most famous of these
is the Hal-Saflieni Hypogeum.

216
00:11:40,333 --> 00:11:45,437
Hal-Saflieni dates back
to about 6,000 years ago.

217
00:11:45,539 --> 00:11:47,739
ROBERT SCHOCH:
It's multilayered,

218
00:11:47,841 --> 00:11:50,442
three major levels,

219
00:11:50,544 --> 00:11:52,143
and it's really just astounding

220
00:11:52,245 --> 00:11:55,413
to have carved it
into the limestone.

221
00:11:55,515 --> 00:11:58,049
I'm a geologist.
I know how difficult it is

222
00:11:58,151 --> 00:12:01,186
to engineer something like that
and carry it out.

223
00:12:01,288 --> 00:12:05,690
To me, it shows
incredible sophistication

224
00:12:05,792 --> 00:12:09,294
on a technological basis.

225
00:12:09,396 --> 00:12:12,697
I can't claim that I know
exactly how they did it.

226
00:12:12,799 --> 00:12:15,867
NARRATOR:
When the Hal-Saflieni Hypogeum

227
00:12:15,969 --> 00:12:18,803
was first discovered in 1902,

228
00:12:18,905 --> 00:12:21,940
archaeologists were astounded
to find buried within it

229
00:12:22,042 --> 00:12:25,543
more than 7,000 skeletons.

230
00:12:25,645 --> 00:12:27,912
In May 1920,

231
00:12:28,014 --> 00:12:30,882
a National Geographic article
reported

232
00:12:30,984 --> 00:12:33,318
that many of the remains
were those of humans

233
00:12:33,420 --> 00:12:35,353
that were "long-skulled."

234
00:12:35,455 --> 00:12:37,922
But during World War II,

235
00:12:38,024 --> 00:12:40,458
the site was plundered
by vandals,

236
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:44,329
and the skeletons
mysteriously disappeared.

237
00:12:44,431 --> 00:12:48,800
Luckily, 11 of the elongated
skulls were salvaged,

238
00:12:48,902 --> 00:12:53,271
and at least one of these
displays a non-human feature--

239
00:12:53,373 --> 00:12:56,608
it is missing the sagittal
suture that connects

240
00:12:56,710 --> 00:13:00,478
the parietal bones
on all human skulls.

241
00:13:00,580 --> 00:13:04,249
CHILDRESS:
A bizarre report came

242
00:13:04,351 --> 00:13:07,819
from a woman named Lois Jessop,

243
00:13:07,921 --> 00:13:10,955
who had worked for the British
Consulate in Malta.

244
00:13:11,057 --> 00:13:14,159
She had been visiting
the Hypogeum,

245
00:13:14,261 --> 00:13:16,761
and had convinced
one of the caretakers

246
00:13:16,863 --> 00:13:20,765
to let her go into
the lowest chamber.

247
00:13:20,867 --> 00:13:24,335
She claimed that she came out

248
00:13:24,437 --> 00:13:26,805
into a ledge in a great fissure

249
00:13:26,907 --> 00:13:29,607
that was beneath Malta.

250
00:13:29,709 --> 00:13:32,911
And on a ledge on the other side
of the fissure,

251
00:13:33,013 --> 00:13:37,448
she claimed she saw
very tall men.

252
00:13:37,551 --> 00:13:40,418
TSOUKALOS:
According to her account,

253
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:45,323
she saw about 20 white-haired
giants that looked up at her

254
00:13:45,425 --> 00:13:49,460
and motioned her to come down.

255
00:13:49,563 --> 00:13:54,399
One has to wonder if the
Hypogeum has some sort of

256
00:13:54,501 --> 00:13:56,267
an extraterrestrial presence.

257
00:13:58,572 --> 00:14:02,607
NARRATOR: As incredible as
Lois Jessop's story may be,

258
00:14:02,709 --> 00:14:06,077
perhaps the most extraordinary
discovery at the Hypogeum

259
00:14:06,179 --> 00:14:08,980
has to do with sound.

260
00:14:10,684 --> 00:14:13,251
In February of 2014,

261
00:14:13,353 --> 00:14:16,588
archaeoacoustics researcher
Linda Eneix

262
00:14:16,690 --> 00:14:21,559
gathered an assemblage of audio,
geology and archaeology experts

263
00:14:21,661 --> 00:14:25,597
to test the acoustic properties
of the most mysterious chamber

264
00:14:25,699 --> 00:14:29,300
in this site, known as
the Oracle Room.

265
00:14:30,770 --> 00:14:32,403
After extensive testing,

266
00:14:32,505 --> 00:14:33,838
Linda and her team reached

267
00:14:33,940 --> 00:14:35,840
an incredible conclusion.

268
00:14:35,942 --> 00:14:39,344
The entire Hypogeum resonates

269
00:14:39,446 --> 00:14:43,014
at the specific frequency
of 110 hertz.

270
00:14:45,285 --> 00:14:48,519
ENEIX: You physically feel
the vibration of that sound

271
00:14:48,622 --> 00:14:52,924
-in your whole body.
-(frequency humming)

272
00:14:53,026 --> 00:14:55,393
It was, uh, mesmerizing.

273
00:14:57,330 --> 00:15:00,899
The water in the body's tissue
responds to that,

274
00:15:01,001 --> 00:15:03,902
and your whole body tunes into
this vibration

275
00:15:04,004 --> 00:15:07,038
that's wrapping around you
in the sound.

276
00:15:07,140 --> 00:15:09,207
(gong resonates)

277
00:15:09,309 --> 00:15:12,610
NARRATOR: Sound is created by
the vibration of an object,

278
00:15:12,712 --> 00:15:16,748
which causes the air surrounding
it to vibrate and form a wave.

279
00:15:16,850 --> 00:15:19,117
MICHAEL DENNIN: Depending on the
frequency it oscillates with,

280
00:15:19,219 --> 00:15:22,253
that will determine the note
or the tone you hear.

281
00:15:22,355 --> 00:15:25,523
Hertz is the unit we use
to measure frequency.

282
00:15:25,625 --> 00:15:28,760
It's basically the number of
oscillations per second.

283
00:15:28,862 --> 00:15:32,830
Resonance is basically whenever
something is vibrating,

284
00:15:32,933 --> 00:15:35,967
that frequency matches the
natural frequency

285
00:15:36,069 --> 00:15:37,669
or vibration of the object.

286
00:15:37,771 --> 00:15:41,205
This is really important with
sound applications.

287
00:15:41,308 --> 00:15:45,543
If you take an enclosed space,
the way you get a resonance

288
00:15:45,645 --> 00:15:49,914
is to make the size of the room
or space match the frequencies

289
00:15:50,016 --> 00:15:53,017
and wavelength of the sound
you're trying to achieve.

290
00:15:53,119 --> 00:15:55,453
So that when it hits the ends
of the walls,

291
00:15:55,555 --> 00:15:57,388
it reflects just right.

292
00:15:57,490 --> 00:15:59,757
These reflections
build up the sound,

293
00:15:59,859 --> 00:16:02,760
or magnitude, of that vibration.

294
00:16:02,862 --> 00:16:04,562
CHILDRESS:
What is going on here,

295
00:16:04,664 --> 00:16:08,066
and why are they specifically
using that frequency?

296
00:16:08,168 --> 00:16:10,768
So, you have to wonder whether
extraterrestrials weren't

297
00:16:10,870 --> 00:16:14,572
involved in tuning the Hypogeum

298
00:16:14,674 --> 00:16:16,975
to create this special
frequency.

299
00:16:17,077 --> 00:16:19,644
NARRATOR:
Could the Hypogeum in Malta

300
00:16:19,746 --> 00:16:21,679
have been built upon
the instructions

301
00:16:21,781 --> 00:16:23,247
of extraterrestrials

302
00:16:23,350 --> 00:16:27,618
with a very specific
acoustic purpose in mind?

303
00:16:27,721 --> 00:16:32,156
If so, does the 110 hertz
frequency that it is tuned to

304
00:16:32,258 --> 00:16:34,993
hold some special power?

305
00:16:37,931 --> 00:16:40,531
County Meath, Ireland.

306
00:16:40,633 --> 00:16:41,966
DEVEREUX:
This is the entrance.

307
00:16:42,068 --> 00:16:43,167
TSOUKALOS:
Wow.

308
00:16:43,269 --> 00:16:45,536
NARRATOR:
In January of 2017,

309
00:16:45,638 --> 00:16:48,873
researcher and publisher
Giorgio Tsoukalos

310
00:16:48,975 --> 00:16:51,609
traveled to the Newgrange
passage tomb

311
00:16:51,711 --> 00:16:55,146
to meet with archaeoacoustics
expert Paul Devereux.

312
00:16:57,951 --> 00:17:01,519
Here in this
5,000-year-old tomb,

313
00:17:01,621 --> 00:17:03,955
and at dozens of other
ancient megalithic sites

314
00:17:04,057 --> 00:17:05,757
across the world,

315
00:17:05,859 --> 00:17:09,460
Paul has been studying the
effects of sound resonance.

316
00:17:11,197 --> 00:17:12,630
Wow.

317
00:17:12,732 --> 00:17:15,199
NARRATOR: Today,
he will be running a test

318
00:17:15,301 --> 00:17:17,635
to discover whether or not

319
00:17:17,737 --> 00:17:21,039
the Newgrange structure was
built with an acoustic purpose

320
00:17:21,141 --> 00:17:25,710
and made to resonate
at a specific frequency.

321
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,080
(device beeps)

322
00:17:29,182 --> 00:17:32,016
DEVEREUX:
We sweep a sound wave

323
00:17:32,118 --> 00:17:34,719
through the chamber

324
00:17:34,821 --> 00:17:38,556
until we got the primary natural
resonance of the chamber.

325
00:17:38,658 --> 00:17:40,691
What it means is
you've produced a standing wave

326
00:17:40,794 --> 00:17:45,096
from the sound source
to the wall of the chamber.

327
00:17:45,198 --> 00:17:49,267
So the sound wave goes up, and
then it reflects back exactly

328
00:17:49,369 --> 00:17:51,269
along the same path.

329
00:17:51,371 --> 00:17:53,471
(110 hertz tone resonating)

330
00:17:53,573 --> 00:17:54,872
DEVEREUX:
Okay, that's good, actually.

331
00:17:54,974 --> 00:17:56,274
We're getting an
antinode there.

332
00:17:56,376 --> 00:17:59,177
If you put the microphone, yes,
into there.

333
00:17:59,279 --> 00:18:00,678
Can you bring it
this way a little?

334
00:18:00,780 --> 00:18:02,213
That's good.
Okay, that's fine.

335
00:18:02,315 --> 00:18:04,415
We're picking up the 110 hertz,

336
00:18:04,517 --> 00:18:07,585
and it's vibrating
around this whole area.

337
00:18:07,687 --> 00:18:09,587
You can actually feel it...

338
00:18:11,624 --> 00:18:12,824
-Feel it in your body.
-TSOUKALOS: Yes.

339
00:18:12,926 --> 00:18:14,192
DEVEREUX:
It's a physical thing.

340
00:18:14,294 --> 00:18:16,027
And people forget that,
that sound is physical.

341
00:18:16,129 --> 00:18:17,161
-Right.
-You know?

342
00:18:17,263 --> 00:18:18,830
-Can you feel that?
-Yes.

343
00:18:18,932 --> 00:18:20,298
TSOUKALOS:
That's quite amazing, actually.

344
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,067
NARRATOR:
When the frequency is set

345
00:18:23,169 --> 00:18:27,405
to 110 hertz,
Giorgio and Paul are able

346
00:18:27,507 --> 00:18:30,575
to both hear and feel a change
throughout the chamber.

347
00:18:30,677 --> 00:18:34,946
Remarkably, this is
the same exact resonance

348
00:18:35,048 --> 00:18:38,182
that was discovered
at the Hypogeum in Malta,

349
00:18:38,284 --> 00:18:41,419
at Angkor Wat in Cambodia,

350
00:18:41,521 --> 00:18:46,023
and at as numerous other ancient
structures around the world.

351
00:18:46,126 --> 00:18:50,061
Now, I think it's amazing,
especially that you've

352
00:18:50,163 --> 00:18:53,598
come across similar type
frequencies in other places.

353
00:18:53,700 --> 00:18:56,467
Oh, yes. They knew
what they were doing, um,

354
00:18:56,569 --> 00:18:58,436
but they did it
in a different way to us.

355
00:18:58,538 --> 00:19:01,139
They didn't have this, all this
stuff-- they could feel it.

356
00:19:01,241 --> 00:19:04,842
And the architecture
would have been built

357
00:19:04,944 --> 00:19:08,713
to structure that sound, to
maximize it, to emphasize it.

358
00:19:08,815 --> 00:19:09,914
Yes.

359
00:19:10,016 --> 00:19:13,251
Now, we asked a neuro clinician,

360
00:19:13,353 --> 00:19:16,888
Ian Cook, if there was anything
neurological

361
00:19:16,990 --> 00:19:19,390
about this vibration of 110hz.

362
00:19:19,492 --> 00:19:21,159
And he didn't think so.

363
00:19:21,261 --> 00:19:22,827
None of us did, really.

364
00:19:22,929 --> 00:19:26,731
But he carried out an experiment
a little bit later

365
00:19:26,833 --> 00:19:31,369
with a group of volunteers
who were exposed

366
00:19:31,471 --> 00:19:34,438
to different audio frequencies.

367
00:19:34,541 --> 00:19:38,676
That paper's been produced and
shows that that sound can affect

368
00:19:38,778 --> 00:19:41,812
-regional parts of the brain.
-Wow.

369
00:19:43,983 --> 00:19:46,751
NARRATOR: Is it possible that
certain ancient sites

370
00:19:46,853 --> 00:19:48,452
were designed to resonate

371
00:19:48,555 --> 00:19:52,757
at a frequency which manipulates
the way people think?

372
00:19:52,859 --> 00:19:57,128
Perhaps the answer can be found
by testing the effects

373
00:19:57,230 --> 00:19:59,163
of this unique frequency...

374
00:19:59,265 --> 00:20:01,933
on the human brain.

375
00:20:05,038 --> 00:20:07,605
NARRATOR:
Manhattan Beach, California.

376
00:20:07,707 --> 00:20:10,841
March 25, 2017.

377
00:20:10,944 --> 00:20:16,547
Neurophysiologist Dr. Michael
Mark uses an encephalography,

378
00:20:16,649 --> 00:20:19,417
or EEG machine,
to determine the effects

379
00:20:19,519 --> 00:20:23,487
of the 110 hertz frequency
on a test subject.

380
00:20:23,590 --> 00:20:26,257
Position this. Do you want
to go ahead and help?

381
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,527
NARRATOR: The device records
brain wave activity

382
00:20:29,629 --> 00:20:32,263
256 times per second,

383
00:20:32,365 --> 00:20:36,267
to provide a real-time look
inside the subject's mind.

384
00:20:36,369 --> 00:20:39,537
Okay, Brian, we're now gonna
start with our first

385
00:20:39,639 --> 00:20:42,940
frequency for three minutes--
Here we go.

386
00:20:43,042 --> 00:20:46,544
(machine emitting low hum)

387
00:20:46,646 --> 00:20:49,480
NARRATOR: While Brian relaxes
in isolation,

388
00:20:49,582 --> 00:20:51,916
Dr. Mark exposes him
to a range of frequencies

389
00:20:52,018 --> 00:20:56,988
between 90 hertz and 120 hertz
in random order,

390
00:20:57,090 --> 00:20:59,624
for a few minutes each.

391
00:20:59,726 --> 00:21:01,626
Ok, Brian, here's our second
frequency now.

392
00:21:01,728 --> 00:21:04,262
(humming gets higher)

393
00:21:04,364 --> 00:21:06,864
NARRATOR:
This will allow Dr. Mark

394
00:21:06,966 --> 00:21:09,467
to compare the results
and analyze

395
00:21:09,569 --> 00:21:13,070
whether 110 hertz has any
measurable impact.

396
00:21:13,172 --> 00:21:16,107
Ok, Brian, now our last
frequency.

397
00:21:16,209 --> 00:21:18,509
(higher-pitched humming)

398
00:21:22,348 --> 00:21:24,715
We're done now.
Can you please remove your mask?

399
00:21:24,817 --> 00:21:26,617
Mm-hmm.

400
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,887
How was that experience for you?

401
00:21:29,989 --> 00:21:31,622
DODGE:
Very interesting.

402
00:21:31,724 --> 00:21:33,624
I felt the most shift
in the last frequency.

403
00:21:33,726 --> 00:21:36,360
There was a similar drawing in
of the second frequency,

404
00:21:36,462 --> 00:21:39,664
but there was also
this experience of uplifting,

405
00:21:39,766 --> 00:21:42,133
or moving out and up,

406
00:21:42,235 --> 00:21:44,101
um, sort of like a...

407
00:21:44,203 --> 00:21:46,137
an out-of-body experience.

408
00:21:46,239 --> 00:21:49,073
It felt like I was floating.

409
00:21:49,175 --> 00:21:50,808
Okay.

410
00:21:50,910 --> 00:21:53,577
NARRATOR:
Dr. Mark compiled the results

411
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,379
of the entire EEG test

412
00:21:55,481 --> 00:21:58,482
to see if the data
indeed reflects a change

413
00:21:58,584 --> 00:22:00,918
in Brian's brain
at this frequency.

414
00:22:01,020 --> 00:22:03,120
The first picture,
as you can see,

415
00:22:03,222 --> 00:22:04,855
the left side,

416
00:22:04,957 --> 00:22:07,124
the area that was lit up

417
00:22:07,226 --> 00:22:09,527
was the executive function role,

418
00:22:09,629 --> 00:22:10,928
which is focus, concentration

419
00:22:11,030 --> 00:22:12,229
and attention.

420
00:22:12,332 --> 00:22:14,265
When we did the 110 hertz,

421
00:22:14,367 --> 00:22:16,967
we see that the right side
of the brain is lit up,

422
00:22:17,070 --> 00:22:18,302
especially in the parietal area,

423
00:22:18,404 --> 00:22:21,272
which is touch,
visual, spatial, expression.

424
00:22:21,374 --> 00:22:23,207
Which can show

425
00:22:23,309 --> 00:22:25,710
how Brian felt
his out-of-body experience.

426
00:22:25,812 --> 00:22:28,779
NARRATOR:
If the 110 hertz frequency

427
00:22:28,881 --> 00:22:30,815
has the power to alter

428
00:22:30,917 --> 00:22:33,050
the very functions of the brain

429
00:22:33,152 --> 00:22:36,253
and even induce
an out-of-body experience,

430
00:22:36,356 --> 00:22:38,956
could sites like Newgrange

431
00:22:39,058 --> 00:22:40,891
and the Hypogeum in Malta

432
00:22:40,993 --> 00:22:44,195
have been engineered
by extraterrestrials

433
00:22:44,297 --> 00:22:46,864
to tap directly into our minds?

434
00:22:46,966 --> 00:22:50,501
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes

435
00:22:50,603 --> 00:22:53,971
and suggest
that thousands of years ago,

436
00:22:54,073 --> 00:22:55,806
our ancestors recognized

437
00:22:55,908 --> 00:22:59,076
a connection between
certain unique frequencies

438
00:22:59,178 --> 00:23:02,413
and otherworldly beings.

439
00:23:05,218 --> 00:23:07,551
Hampi, India.

440
00:23:07,653 --> 00:23:13,023
Here lie the ancient ruins
of Vijayanagara,

441
00:23:13,126 --> 00:23:16,026
believed to have been
constructed

442
00:23:16,129 --> 00:23:19,930
between the 14th and 16th
centuries AD.

443
00:23:20,032 --> 00:23:24,735
At its center stands
the Vittala temple complex,

444
00:23:24,837 --> 00:23:27,438
a masterpiece
of Indian architecture

445
00:23:27,540 --> 00:23:31,375
and the largest and most revered
temple in the city.

446
00:23:31,477 --> 00:23:34,845
DEEPAK SHIMKHADA:
Vittala Temple was built

447
00:23:34,947 --> 00:23:40,251
with the mind of creating a
celestial palace here on Earth.

448
00:23:40,353 --> 00:23:44,588
With that in mind,
the king assembled the great,

449
00:23:44,690 --> 00:23:47,858
uh, the architects
and great engineers

450
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,326
and then great craftsmen

451
00:23:49,429 --> 00:23:53,330
to create this wonderful
building that can also have

452
00:23:53,433 --> 00:23:56,267
a wonderful sound
that will please God.

453
00:23:56,369 --> 00:23:59,737
LAYNE LITTLE:
Attached directly to the temple

454
00:23:59,839 --> 00:24:06,043
is what is called the ranga
mandapa, or the stage pavilion.

455
00:24:06,145 --> 00:24:07,545
Here there are many pillars,

456
00:24:07,647 --> 00:24:11,382
some reaching to a height
of nearly 12 feet.

457
00:24:11,484 --> 00:24:14,785
There's a series of what are
called compound pillars,

458
00:24:14,887 --> 00:24:18,189
where you have a central pillar
surrounded on all sides

459
00:24:18,291 --> 00:24:20,925
with smaller colonnettes.

460
00:24:21,027 --> 00:24:23,994
These colonnettes are famous
because when they're struck

461
00:24:24,096 --> 00:24:26,864
they emit beautiful
and haunting sounds.

462
00:24:26,966 --> 00:24:31,268
(melodic tapping)

463
00:24:31,370 --> 00:24:34,371
NARRATOR: According to
the local guides at the temple,

464
00:24:34,474 --> 00:24:37,208
the 56 pillars
are individually tuned

465
00:24:37,310 --> 00:24:40,277
to one of the seven notes
of the Saregama,

466
00:24:40,379 --> 00:24:42,713
an ancient Sanskrit
musical scale

467
00:24:42,815 --> 00:24:44,748
dating back thousands of years

468
00:24:44,851 --> 00:24:49,887
that is still predominant
in Hindi music today.

469
00:24:49,989 --> 00:24:53,924
Certain groups of these pillars
have been crafted to represent

470
00:24:54,026 --> 00:25:00,030
the tonal vibrations of the
scale for different instruments.

471
00:25:00,132 --> 00:25:04,268
Some being crafted
to represent woodwinds...

472
00:25:04,370 --> 00:25:05,769
(melodic tapping)

473
00:25:05,872 --> 00:25:08,339
...some being crafted
to represent

474
00:25:08,441 --> 00:25:10,341
percussion instruments,
etcetera.

475
00:25:10,443 --> 00:25:12,476
(melodic tapping continues)

476
00:25:12,578 --> 00:25:14,111
JONATHAN YOUNG:
The British, when they were

477
00:25:14,213 --> 00:25:15,446
in charge of India,

478
00:25:15,548 --> 00:25:17,948
were mystified
by this amazing quality

479
00:25:18,050 --> 00:25:22,119
and actually cut one of the
pillars to see how it was done.

480
00:25:22,221 --> 00:25:23,454
But it was just granite,

481
00:25:23,556 --> 00:25:26,090
and it was just
very careful workmanship.

482
00:25:26,192 --> 00:25:28,392
NARRATOR:
While the stone pillars

483
00:25:28,494 --> 00:25:31,428
themselves seem like
simple technology,

484
00:25:31,531 --> 00:25:34,698
recent analyses have revealed
they may be comprised

485
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,768
of an advanced geo-polymer
blend of granite

486
00:25:37,870 --> 00:25:41,105
with silicate particles
and metallic alloys.

487
00:25:41,207 --> 00:25:44,875
But what continues
to puzzle scientists

488
00:25:44,977 --> 00:25:47,578
is that the first basic
geo-polymers were invented

489
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,115
in the Soviet Union
during the 1950s,

490
00:25:51,217 --> 00:25:55,619
hundreds of years after
these pillars were crafted.

491
00:25:55,721 --> 00:25:58,822
SCHOCH: As a geologist,
how this was done

492
00:25:58,925 --> 00:26:01,325
is really baffling and amazing.

493
00:26:01,427 --> 00:26:04,795
I've heard reports
of people trying

494
00:26:04,897 --> 00:26:08,132
to mimic it in modern times,
to try to just do

495
00:26:08,234 --> 00:26:11,101
a little section of it,
even one pillar...

496
00:26:11,203 --> 00:26:12,503
(melodic tapping)

497
00:26:12,605 --> 00:26:14,538
...and people just haven't
been successful.

498
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,941
So, what were they doing
back then?

499
00:26:17,043 --> 00:26:18,142
We just don't know.

500
00:26:21,581 --> 00:26:24,582
According to Hindu priests,
each of these pillars

501
00:26:24,684 --> 00:26:27,618
was specifically tuned
harmonically

502
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,188
in order to communicate
with the gods.

503
00:26:31,290 --> 00:26:35,793
So, you have to wonder,
did extraterrestrial beings

504
00:26:35,895 --> 00:26:38,028
come down and give instructions

505
00:26:38,130 --> 00:26:41,031
on creating these specific
frequencies?

506
00:26:41,133 --> 00:26:43,601
? ?

507
00:26:43,703 --> 00:26:45,369
NARRATOR:
If the Vittala Temple

508
00:26:45,471 --> 00:26:50,040
was designed to connect humans
with an extraterrestrial realm,

509
00:26:50,142 --> 00:26:53,611
could the performing of music
have had an even more profound

510
00:26:53,713 --> 00:26:57,181
significance than
is traditionally believed?

511
00:26:57,283 --> 00:27:02,052
Perhaps further evidence can be
found by examining the work

512
00:27:02,154 --> 00:27:05,689
of a mathematical genius
from the sixth century BC

513
00:27:05,791 --> 00:27:09,360
who envisioned that sound
could provide a gateway

514
00:27:09,462 --> 00:27:12,997
to mankind's exploration
of the stars.

515
00:27:18,104 --> 00:27:21,071
NARRATOR:
The sixth century BC.

516
00:27:21,173 --> 00:27:25,476
Pythagoras, the famous Greek
mathematician and philosopher,

517
00:27:25,578 --> 00:27:29,513
travels throughout Egypt over
the course of ten years to study

518
00:27:29,615 --> 00:27:33,517
the esoteric arts under various
local priesthoods.

519
00:27:33,619 --> 00:27:37,087
Pythagoras is certainly one of
the most interesting characters

520
00:27:37,189 --> 00:27:39,556
that we see in Greek history.

521
00:27:39,659 --> 00:27:42,826
In 535 BC,

522
00:27:42,928 --> 00:27:47,164
Pythagoras left his home
in Samos, Greece, and traveled

523
00:27:47,266 --> 00:27:50,868
to Egypt, where he was initiated
by the Egyptian priesthood

524
00:27:50,970 --> 00:27:53,570
in all of the different
secret societies

525
00:27:53,673 --> 00:27:56,073
and organizations
that they had available.

526
00:27:56,175 --> 00:28:00,110
And from this secret knowledge,
Pythagoras obtained information

527
00:28:00,212 --> 00:28:03,480
that seems very, very far
ahead of his time.

528
00:28:04,350 --> 00:28:05,649
(clanking)

529
00:28:05,751 --> 00:28:06,984
YOUNG:
Pythagoras, one day,

530
00:28:07,086 --> 00:28:09,286
was walking past
a blacksmith's shop

531
00:28:09,388 --> 00:28:11,722
and heard a sound on the anvils

532
00:28:11,824 --> 00:28:14,224
and got fascinated with sound

533
00:28:14,326 --> 00:28:18,095
and thought it could be
understood mathematically.

534
00:28:18,197 --> 00:28:21,331
SABINA MAGLIOCCO: Pythagoras,
in hearing these tones

535
00:28:21,434 --> 00:28:23,734
made by the metal
striking the metal,

536
00:28:23,836 --> 00:28:26,603
intuited that there was
a mathematical relationship

537
00:28:26,706 --> 00:28:28,605
between the different notes
in a scale.

538
00:28:28,708 --> 00:28:31,442
That there was a proportional,
a relationship of ratios

539
00:28:31,544 --> 00:28:33,343
between these different notes
in the scale.

540
00:28:33,446 --> 00:28:35,546
(clanks)

541
00:28:35,648 --> 00:28:36,947
(piano notes playing)

542
00:28:37,049 --> 00:28:38,215
DENNIN: When you look
at Western music,

543
00:28:38,317 --> 00:28:40,250
it all has its root
with Pythagoras,

544
00:28:40,352 --> 00:28:44,988
and the great discovery he made
is that the waves generated,

545
00:28:45,091 --> 00:28:47,458
say, by strings
or wind instruments,

546
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,894
could be converted
into clear notes and scales

547
00:28:50,996 --> 00:28:53,897
by using fractions
and discreet ratios.

548
00:28:53,999 --> 00:28:58,268
So we end up with thirds,
fifths, fourths, octaves.

549
00:28:58,370 --> 00:29:01,638
By simply taking the string
and holding it

550
00:29:01,741 --> 00:29:05,275
in these fractional ratios,
you get sound in these ratios,

551
00:29:05,377 --> 00:29:09,613
and it's very pleasing and works
very well to the human ear.

552
00:29:09,715 --> 00:29:11,548
So Pythagoras did
this amazing job

553
00:29:11,650 --> 00:29:15,619
of taking math and geometry
and tying it to music,

554
00:29:15,721 --> 00:29:18,589
which then led to the entire
Western musical scale.

555
00:29:21,627 --> 00:29:23,393
NARRATOR:
Pythagoras' revelations

556
00:29:23,496 --> 00:29:26,764
regarding sound and music
led him to speculate

557
00:29:26,866 --> 00:29:29,800
that the universe itself,
and everything in it,

558
00:29:29,902 --> 00:29:32,903
is in a constant state
of vibration.

559
00:29:33,005 --> 00:29:38,275
He theorized that there is
a harmony throughout the cosmos,

560
00:29:38,377 --> 00:29:42,713
and that even the planets
emit their own unique sounds.

561
00:29:45,551 --> 00:29:48,118
Pythagoras thought of
the universe as operating

562
00:29:48,220 --> 00:29:50,621
as a harmonious whole,

563
00:29:50,723 --> 00:29:52,389
which he compared to a lyre,

564
00:29:52,491 --> 00:29:55,225
an instrument that is a little
bit like the modern harp

565
00:29:55,327 --> 00:29:57,127
in that it has
different strings.

566
00:29:57,229 --> 00:30:00,364
Each string vibrates
at a different frequency,

567
00:30:00,466 --> 00:30:01,965
producing a different sound.

568
00:30:02,067 --> 00:30:04,868
He thought that each planet
in the solar system

569
00:30:04,970 --> 00:30:08,839
vibrated at its own
unique frequency,

570
00:30:08,941 --> 00:30:11,642
and produced what he called
the music of the spheres.

571
00:30:11,744 --> 00:30:14,144
(harp notes resonate)

572
00:30:14,246 --> 00:30:17,247
DENNIN: When you look at
the individual planets,

573
00:30:17,349 --> 00:30:19,783
in our solar system
and around the universe,

574
00:30:19,885 --> 00:30:21,919
the radiation that's emitted
in each planet

575
00:30:22,021 --> 00:30:23,654
will be in
its own frequency range.

576
00:30:23,756 --> 00:30:25,189
(electronic trilling)

577
00:30:25,291 --> 00:30:28,425
We can convert that
to an audible signal,

578
00:30:28,527 --> 00:30:32,196
and think of each planet
having its own signal

579
00:30:32,298 --> 00:30:35,566
or tone or music
that goes with it.

580
00:30:35,668 --> 00:30:37,768
(electronic tones sounding)

581
00:30:39,805 --> 00:30:42,739
WILCOCK: NASA has been able
to record sounds

582
00:30:42,842 --> 00:30:44,474
coming out of the planets,

583
00:30:44,577 --> 00:30:47,244
thereby proving that
Pythagoras's notion

584
00:30:47,346 --> 00:30:50,581
of the music of the spheres
is, in fact, correct.

585
00:30:50,683 --> 00:30:54,451
When we look at these
interesting discoveries

586
00:30:54,553 --> 00:30:57,721
about planets giving off
sound frequencies,

587
00:30:57,823 --> 00:31:01,725
we become even closer
to realizing the fullness

588
00:31:01,827 --> 00:31:05,796
of Pythagoras's
extraterrestrially derived idea

589
00:31:05,898 --> 00:31:08,198
of the music of the spheres.

590
00:31:12,004 --> 00:31:14,404
NARRATOR: In the second half
of the 20th century,

591
00:31:14,506 --> 00:31:17,441
quantum physicists developed
a new model

592
00:31:17,543 --> 00:31:19,710
for the atomic structure
of the universe,

593
00:31:19,812 --> 00:31:22,579
known as string theory.

594
00:31:22,681 --> 00:31:26,650
This theory suggests that
the universe is made up

595
00:31:26,752 --> 00:31:28,986
of vibrating strings of energy,

596
00:31:29,088 --> 00:31:32,723
a concept similar
to the one Pythagoras suggested

597
00:31:32,825 --> 00:31:34,825
thousands of years ago.

598
00:31:34,927 --> 00:31:38,629
There are even those who believe
that string theory

599
00:31:38,731 --> 00:31:41,298
will provide
unprecedented breakthroughs

600
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,768
in everything from space
exploration to time travel

601
00:31:44,870 --> 00:31:47,537
by allowing for the creation
of wormholes

602
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,640
through which humans
will be able to move

603
00:31:49,742 --> 00:31:53,277
from one point in the universe
to another.

604
00:31:53,379 --> 00:31:55,979
But how could Pythagoras
have possibly envisioned

605
00:31:56,081 --> 00:32:00,083
the foundation of such
an advanced scientific theory?

606
00:32:00,185 --> 00:32:03,820
The mystery schools that
Pythagoras attended in Egypt

607
00:32:03,923 --> 00:32:07,357
are known as the school
of the magi, the magicians.

608
00:32:07,459 --> 00:32:12,362
But really, they're a lineage
of otherworldly beings,

609
00:32:12,464 --> 00:32:15,432
or humans that are in contact
with otherworldly beings

610
00:32:15,534 --> 00:32:17,100
that have knowledge
of the stars,

611
00:32:17,202 --> 00:32:19,169
have knowledge
of the progression of humanity,

612
00:32:19,271 --> 00:32:22,339
and act as benefactors,
assisting humanity

613
00:32:22,441 --> 00:32:25,676
in its movement forward
and its evolution.

614
00:32:25,778 --> 00:32:28,679
When we are looking at the
Pythagorean knowledge base,

615
00:32:28,781 --> 00:32:32,049
we are seeing something that is
vastly more sophisticated

616
00:32:32,151 --> 00:32:34,384
than what he could have
come up with on his own,

617
00:32:34,486 --> 00:32:36,453
and is, in fact,
vastly more sophisticated

618
00:32:36,555 --> 00:32:38,021
than our current level

619
00:32:38,123 --> 00:32:41,892
of scientific knowledge
allows for today.

620
00:32:43,896 --> 00:32:45,996
NARRATOR:
If the universe is connected

621
00:32:46,098 --> 00:32:48,398
through vibration
and frequencies,

622
00:32:48,500 --> 00:32:51,969
is it possible that we could use
this knowledge to connect

623
00:32:52,071 --> 00:32:55,539
with other intelligent beings
in the cosmos?

624
00:32:55,641 --> 00:32:59,943
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,

625
00:33:00,045 --> 00:33:03,380
and suggest that there is
one particular sound

626
00:33:03,482 --> 00:33:07,084
that may provide
an even more direct connection

627
00:33:07,186 --> 00:33:11,655
to our extraterrestrial
ancestors.

628
00:33:17,129 --> 00:33:20,030
NARRATOR: Every year,
millions of tourists travel

629
00:33:20,132 --> 00:33:24,835
to Hampi, India
to see the ruins of Vijayanagara

630
00:33:24,937 --> 00:33:27,337
and witness
the famous musical pillars.

631
00:33:27,439 --> 00:33:29,606
-(melodic tapping)
-But for Hindus,

632
00:33:29,708 --> 00:33:32,376
an equally important link
to their past

633
00:33:32,478 --> 00:33:35,112
is the god for whom
the principal temple complex

634
00:33:35,214 --> 00:33:38,081
was constructed-- Vittala.

635
00:33:38,183 --> 00:33:42,085
Vittala is an avatar of two
of the most important gods

636
00:33:42,187 --> 00:33:46,456
in Hinduism, Vishnu and Shiva.

637
00:33:46,558 --> 00:33:50,160
CHILDRESS: Shiva is always
holding the double-sided drum

638
00:33:50,262 --> 00:33:55,465
known as the "damaru," and he
is constantly beating the drum.

639
00:33:55,567 --> 00:33:57,601
(rhythmic drumming)

640
00:33:57,703 --> 00:34:02,506
And that drum is creating
the vibration of the universe,

641
00:34:02,608 --> 00:34:06,777
and that vibration
is the unique sound of "Om."

642
00:34:08,914 --> 00:34:12,516
The avatar Vishnu
was holding a conch shell,

643
00:34:12,618 --> 00:34:14,351
which he blows into...

644
00:34:14,453 --> 00:34:16,453
(conch blowing)

645
00:34:16,555 --> 00:34:20,657
...and this supposedly makes
the exact same sound of "Om"

646
00:34:20,759 --> 00:34:25,195
that Shiva makes
with his double-sided drum.

647
00:34:28,567 --> 00:34:31,668
TSOUKALOS:
Om is a frequency

648
00:34:31,770 --> 00:34:34,638
of all vowels combined into one.

649
00:34:34,740 --> 00:34:37,808
A, E, I, O, U: Om.

650
00:34:39,578 --> 00:34:43,780
And some have suggested that the
Om essentially can be regarded

651
00:34:43,882 --> 00:34:47,150
as the frequency
of the universe.

652
00:34:47,252 --> 00:34:50,153
SHIMKHADA: Hinduism, Buddhism,
Jainism, Sikhism,

653
00:34:50,255 --> 00:34:53,290
they all use the concept of Om

654
00:34:53,392 --> 00:34:55,325
as an integral part
of their religion,

655
00:34:55,427 --> 00:34:57,661
of their understanding
of their, you know, life.

656
00:34:57,763 --> 00:35:02,332
Om is the sound of the universe,
the basis of everything.

657
00:35:04,903 --> 00:35:08,772
NARRATOR: Om is first mentioned
in the ancient Sanskrit texts

658
00:35:08,874 --> 00:35:14,211
called the Upanishads,
written over 3,000 years ago,

659
00:35:14,313 --> 00:35:19,149
which proposed that vibration,
along with ritualistic chanting,

660
00:35:19,251 --> 00:35:23,019
singing and prayer,
can provide a direct connection

661
00:35:23,122 --> 00:35:27,524
between humans
and the gods themselves.

662
00:35:27,626 --> 00:35:30,694
Around the world,
there is acknowledgement

663
00:35:30,796 --> 00:35:32,596
that things
are created by sound,

664
00:35:32,698 --> 00:35:35,132
and that sound
is a kind of portal,

665
00:35:35,234 --> 00:35:38,535
a connection point
between the seen and the unseen,

666
00:35:38,637 --> 00:35:41,371
the sacred and the ordinary.

667
00:35:41,473 --> 00:35:45,609
The Igbo people
of Nigeria in Africa

668
00:35:45,711 --> 00:35:50,747
believe that music is actually
the voices of their ancestors.

669
00:35:52,784 --> 00:35:56,653
Yakut shamans throughout
Central Asia use whistling

670
00:35:56,755 --> 00:35:59,322
to summon their spirit helpers

671
00:35:59,424 --> 00:36:02,459
when they're about to go into
trance to help their people.

672
00:36:02,561 --> 00:36:07,464
The Macau people
of South Asia have a poem

673
00:36:07,566 --> 00:36:10,200
that's linked to the idea
that music

674
00:36:10,302 --> 00:36:12,335
is a way to call
upon our ancestors,

675
00:36:12,437 --> 00:36:14,471
to sing them present with us.

676
00:36:14,573 --> 00:36:17,707
CHILDRESS:
This is the vibration

677
00:36:17,809 --> 00:36:21,545
that is inherent
in the universe,

678
00:36:21,647 --> 00:36:26,616
and it's something that humans
would be able to use it,

679
00:36:26,718 --> 00:36:29,319
with our own technology,

680
00:36:29,421 --> 00:36:34,324
to reconnect with the gods,
with the extraterrestrials.

681
00:36:34,426 --> 00:36:36,593
(chanting)

682
00:36:36,695 --> 00:36:38,395
NARRATOR:
Is it possible

683
00:36:38,497 --> 00:36:41,364
that through ancient traditions
of chanting and vocal prayer,

684
00:36:41,466 --> 00:36:47,304
mankind is actually connecting
to an extraterrestrial realm?

685
00:36:50,375 --> 00:36:55,145
And if so, might the same
be true for similar practices

686
00:36:55,247 --> 00:37:00,650
performed by other
major religions today?

687
00:37:00,752 --> 00:37:02,185
We have this in the West.

688
00:37:02,287 --> 00:37:06,656
Cathedrals are engineered
to affect the visitor.

689
00:37:06,758 --> 00:37:08,959
A seeker comes to a cathedral

690
00:37:09,061 --> 00:37:13,196
and the acoustics of the room
will resonate in the body.

691
00:37:13,298 --> 00:37:14,698
It's about sound.

692
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,367
If you go to one of
the great cathedrals of Europe

693
00:37:17,469 --> 00:37:21,338
and hear a Gregorian chant
or other musical performance,

694
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,707
it will alter
your consciousness.

695
00:37:23,809 --> 00:37:28,378
So, devoted to encouraging
mystical experience,

696
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,647
connection
with the unseen world,

697
00:37:30,749 --> 00:37:33,750
will invent instruments, spaces,

698
00:37:33,852 --> 00:37:36,853
so that the human body will
resonate with certain sounds,

699
00:37:36,955 --> 00:37:38,788
certain music,
certain frequencies,

700
00:37:38,890 --> 00:37:42,158
that will put them in touch
with the unseen,

701
00:37:42,261 --> 00:37:47,330
whether that is the gods
or unseen wisdom.

702
00:37:47,432 --> 00:37:52,269
It's a way for us to get
in touch with the consciousness

703
00:37:52,371 --> 00:37:55,238
and the intelligence
of the extraterrestrial beings

704
00:37:55,340 --> 00:37:57,841
that we believe were here
in the past.

705
00:37:57,943 --> 00:37:59,709
They're here in the present,

706
00:37:59,811 --> 00:38:03,747
and they will ultimately lead us
into our future.

707
00:38:05,350 --> 00:38:08,351
NARRATOR: While it has
often been envisioned

708
00:38:08,453 --> 00:38:11,721
that mankind's first contact
with extraterrestrials

709
00:38:11,823 --> 00:38:13,290
would come in the form

710
00:38:13,392 --> 00:38:16,760
of a spaceship touching down
somewhere on Earth,

711
00:38:16,862 --> 00:38:22,232
could it be that contact
is already taking place,

712
00:38:22,334 --> 00:38:25,702
and perhaps has been going on
uninterrupted

713
00:38:25,804 --> 00:38:28,104
for thousands of years?

714
00:38:28,206 --> 00:38:31,841
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,

715
00:38:31,943 --> 00:38:34,844
and suggest the proof
of extraterrestrial contact

716
00:38:34,946 --> 00:38:39,115
may lie not somewhere on land,

717
00:38:39,217 --> 00:38:42,786
but deep beneath
the surface of the ocean.

718
00:38:46,858 --> 00:38:50,527
NARRATOR:
Mariana Trench, Pacific Ocean.

719
00:38:50,629 --> 00:38:54,531
July 13, 2015.

720
00:38:54,633 --> 00:38:58,468
Researchers from the
Hatfield Marine Science Center

721
00:38:58,570 --> 00:39:01,204
scan the deepest part
of the world's oceans

722
00:39:01,306 --> 00:39:05,275
with a hydrophone,
listening for whale calls.

723
00:39:05,377 --> 00:39:09,312
But suddenly, they pick up
something unexpected:

724
00:39:09,414 --> 00:39:13,249
eerie sounds
booming from the depths.

725
00:39:18,323 --> 00:39:19,889
These sounds
are quite interesting.

726
00:39:19,991 --> 00:39:22,292
They sound kind of like
whale sounds,

727
00:39:22,394 --> 00:39:26,529
but they can't be attached
to any known species.

728
00:39:26,631 --> 00:39:28,398
It's about eight miles down.

729
00:39:28,500 --> 00:39:34,804
It seems very technological,
but it's very mysterious.

730
00:39:34,906 --> 00:39:36,606
If we analyze the signal

731
00:39:36,708 --> 00:39:38,942
that's coming out of the depths
of the Mariana Trench,

732
00:39:39,044 --> 00:39:42,278
and realize that it's more
technological in nature...

733
00:39:44,449 --> 00:39:46,483
...could this be coming
from some base

734
00:39:46,585 --> 00:39:51,588
that could still be in use
by some extraterrestrial race?

735
00:39:51,690 --> 00:39:56,526
NARRATOR: If the strange sounds
detected at the Mariana Trench

736
00:39:56,628 --> 00:39:59,963
really are from
an extraterrestrial source,

737
00:40:00,065 --> 00:40:03,433
are they meant for us to hear?

738
00:40:03,535 --> 00:40:07,437
As scientists continue
to learn more

739
00:40:07,539 --> 00:40:10,874
about the possibilities
of acoustic technologies,

740
00:40:10,976 --> 00:40:15,311
and also about the vibrational
properties of the universe,

741
00:40:15,414 --> 00:40:18,148
are we beginning to rediscover

742
00:40:18,250 --> 00:40:21,551
how to detect
otherworldly communications,

743
00:40:21,653 --> 00:40:26,322
and possibly connect
with alien beings?

744
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,593
When we look
at all of the evidence,

745
00:40:30,695 --> 00:40:33,263
we have reason to believe
that extraterrestrials

746
00:40:33,365 --> 00:40:36,332
are giving us clues
that help us to realize

747
00:40:36,435 --> 00:40:39,035
frequency plays
a much greater role

748
00:40:39,137 --> 00:40:42,806
in understanding matter,
energy and consciousness

749
00:40:42,908 --> 00:40:46,142
than we allow for in our
current scientific paradigms.

750
00:40:46,244 --> 00:40:48,912
TSOUKALOS:
If you have megalithic sites

751
00:40:49,014 --> 00:40:50,580
that feature these harmonics

752
00:40:50,682 --> 00:40:53,049
and they happen
to be on different continents,

753
00:40:53,151 --> 00:40:56,519
then one has to wonder if,
at some point,

754
00:40:56,621 --> 00:41:02,025
this knowledge
was given to our ancestors.

755
00:41:02,127 --> 00:41:06,729
I think the time has come
that we not only use our eyes

756
00:41:06,832 --> 00:41:08,164
to look at these things,

757
00:41:08,266 --> 00:41:11,901
but to also turn our ears
towards these sites.

758
00:41:12,003 --> 00:41:16,706
Because perhaps
the frequencies of these places

759
00:41:16,808 --> 00:41:21,678
may be the key to unlocking
the secrets of our past.

760
00:41:25,283 --> 00:41:28,184
NARRATOR: Is it possible
that extraterrestrials

761
00:41:28,286 --> 00:41:34,157
have used acoustics to secretly
guide mankind for millennia?

762
00:41:34,259 --> 00:41:37,927
Or could aliens have hidden
clues all around the world

763
00:41:38,029 --> 00:41:40,063
so that once discovered,

764
00:41:40,165 --> 00:41:44,367
we might one day be able
to initiate their return?

765
00:41:44,469 --> 00:41:47,904
Perhaps the truth
can only be found

766
00:41:48,006 --> 00:41:51,541
once we use not our eyes,
but our ears,

767
00:41:51,643 --> 00:41:55,612
to find the extraterrestrial
messages that surround us.

768
