"Ancient Aliens" explores the controversial theory that extraterrestrials have visited Earth for millions of years.

Finally, yes. This is the truth now. Not some burial chambers. Its all about energy.

[BJ-frls]

I don’t know about all these theories but I still love this show. It’s like historical science fiction entertainment.

In 1992 on a tour with a group in Egypt, , we went on a midnight horseback ride around the Great Pyramid.
A blue-green energy field was emitting between the Giza pyramids inline. I felt that energy was being pulled out of the earth.Tesla was on to something.

[sillyfrog]

Egyptians: How can we freak our later generations out?
Pharoh: Let's build giant pyramids.

[Wreckhouse]

Now I’m not going to pretend to know. But i will say when we discover what these truly were for, it will change humanity

The genesis of the use of mercury in these massive structures is found in Sumerian literature. The use was later attempted by alchemists in changing the mercury into gold. The alchemists knew part of the formula but failed to understand the chemistry.
We now understand the chemistry but have no valid understanding how the arrangement of the stones and mica and electromagnetic waves must be directed to cause the reaction.

Mercury contains 7 isotopes (HG 196). If there is a way to allow it to absorb one more neutron, it becomes HG 197 which decays to gold. These ancient people found a way to utilize the stone and mica in the pyramidal structures to direct that neutron into the mercury through the moderator (water) and wait the 60 hours for the HG 197 to turn to...gold.
Our origin seems to be connected to the need for gold.
The pyramids around Earth attest to that.
Our science is on the verge of confirming that.

Everyone giving modern credit studied the ancients. The ancients should be given proper credit.

[aboyo]

Or what’s more likely…. Humans were a lot more advanced than we thought and not water pulse one beer basically wipe them out back into the Stone Age. This is probably phase 2 of society versus phase 1, where we’ve just rebuilt what we lost without even realizing we used to be advanced.

[NilzFR]

They used the power of lightning to blast themselves into space and we think those are coffins but they were batteries....

[kilotwist]

If you know about Nikola Tesla then you know this video has some truth

[Noname-noqf]

What if some Alien mothership crashed here a long time ago and made humans work for them? And for the ships to work they needed powers plant

[faithinchrist]

These videos are awesome but they always leave you hanging

[cattigereyes]

Proves civilization is way older
Than we give credit for

[andyclifton]

I think it's just this guy's voice cuz I like all shows he narrates

[mikehunt]

MAYBE THE TEMPLE WASNT A TEMPLE BUT A LAUNCH PADD FOR A HUGE SPACE CRAFT

[feliks]

The mercury is indeed a connection, some ancient cultures really adore it for some purposes that still eludes us. Like mentioned in the ancient indian text indeed, and also mentioned in different ancient text with their own name for it

Even in alchemy, mercury, called quicksilver if i remember correctly, is an important thing

The idea of Pyramids around the world being power plant has already been suggested, most famous is by scientist called tesla who tried to emulate it by trying to build small scale model

What is incredible about pyramid is pyramid is involved in some if not most ancient cultures that possess incredible skills in astronomy, rivaling ours. Like sumerian and mayan. Both produce things that beat what we use today, both already developed extremely advanced astronomy and mathematics. Not much record about the mayan are discovered now, but for The sumerian, they use base 6 numerical systems, if you know or study mathematics, for all of us today it's harder to calculate not in base 10 (which we use), imagine how smart the sumerian is to be able to achieve their feats using base 6 systems, archeologists recently even found tablets with many mathematical formulas from the simpler (like phythagorean's) to complex which are more effective than ours and are still being studied even now. And they achieved all those using base 6 numerical systems. If the sumerian still exists today, they will most probably already invented FTL travel and probably already colonizing other worlds

[ahasanchowdhury]

Pyramids all over the world, including some pyramids-mountains might be the powerhouse. Whether it were not for giving the lights in this world, but for the underground world that connected with them

[anncodec]

Oh and they also used to help keep volcanos from erupting catastrophic ally.

[bellowzerogaminggeek]

I have the blue prints in my head for one of the pyramids showing a ship resting on the point of the pyramid what I can tell is two different kinds of liquid energy were put into the two larger rooms inside the pyramid & then the shafts showing either fumes or energy coming out causing the core inside of ship to brighten it also shows different side ships resting on each different step of the pyramid each ship owned it's own step and would rest that far down on the pyramid

[joaocesario]

ah yes, the history channel, where we talk about non historical events and instead give a mic to alien theories
