Ancient Aliens

I cannot wait to see this.

Pretty amazing.

Waiting for a long time.

I mean, it's almost unheard of.

I have never seen one in person.

Wow.

Incredible.

That is freaky.

It's odd, right?

Are extraterrestrial artifacts

being dismissed by scholars?

This object had a date of 140 million years.

Is our scientific process flawed?

Scientists are far too quick to put a period

at the end of the sentence and this is a problem.

Will we be forced to rewrite our history books?

The findings are undeniable.

We are not alone.

Extraterrestrial, human-like groups

have been visiting us all along.

Looks amazing.

New York City.

February 2017.

At New York University, Giorgio Tsoukalos meets

with art collector Jared Collins, who is in possession

of a 2,000-year-old elongated skull.

Oh.

Wow.

That is fantastic.

The skull is incredibly well-preserved

and Jared is having it tested at the university to find out

if it might possibly contain abnormalities that indicate

it is something other than human.

He agreed to meet Giorgio outside of the Anthropology Lab

for a first look at the skull.

So, how did this come to be in your possession?

Well, it's not actually mine.

It is on loan to me.

Me and one of my colleagues

contacted a museum and we asked them,

"Do you have an elongated skull in your collection?"

And they said they have just one, this one.

And have they told you anything about it?

- Actually... - Like the provenance?

Strangely, this has been in storage for decades.

They have never tested it.

They had very little information on it.

They know it's absolutely Paracas.

So, this skull was found

- in the Paracas region of Peru. - That's right.

But no real modern testing has ever been done on this.

Oh, this is amazing.

So, let's go, right?

Okay.

NYU Professor of Anthropology Dr. Todd Disotell

agreed to conduct a forensic evaluation

of the elongated skull.

I've seen casts; I've never seen one in person.

- Okay. - Wow.

That is... freaky.

I mean, I just can't come up with another term.

I love that your first reaction is that it's freaky,

'cause I agree with you.

Well, I mean, look at it. That's...

It's-it's quite bizarre.

I can see that

this is a relatively young individual.

And how did you determine that, for example?

Well, so, by looking at the teeth.

We have some deciduous, or some baby teeth, remaining.

It doesn't yet have its third molar,

which typically comes in around 18 years old or so.

So, I-I would guess that this

is somewhere maybe 12 to 14 years old.

Really?

Um, let me just, uh, move it over

- to the sterile bench surface. - Mm-hmm.

Wow. So, it's very fascinating.

Besides the shape.

The sagittal suture

looks like it has completely fused.

If it's an adolescent, maybe 12 years old,

isn't that quite young to have a-a fusion so...

It is, but...

- I'm holding it, I'm looking at it. - Yeah, yeah.

And it's just been completely obliterated.

The sagittal suture is the seam

where the two parietal bones of the skull come together.

Although the markings may be faint due to fusing over time,

all human skulls are expected

to have some evidence of this feature,

so it is curious that this skull does not,

nor do the skulls of a number of other mysterious specimens

that have been collected and examined by various experts.

One of the great enigmas of planet Earth

is that all over the world

we find skeletons with people

having these elongated skulls.

For centuries, various native cultures have engaged

in the ritual practice

of artificially elongating their skulls

by tightly wrapping the heads of their children through infancy.

However, these skulls still feature evidence

of the cranial sutures.

You also have the whole speculation

of why people were doing the head binding

and the artificial elongation anyway.

Why were they doing that?

They wanted to have these elongated skulls

and to them it represented the elite,

the gods, the rulers.

And you have to wonder if there was a race here on Earth

with these elongated heads and were they extraterrestrials?

Okay, let's move on

to extracting some tooth and bone powder

to get DNA out of that.

- Okay. Excellent. - Yeah.

In order to obtain

the needed genetic material from the artifact,

Dr. Disotell will need to remove a tooth and drill into it

to extract the samples.

The analysis of the material will determine the sex,

ancestral lineage of both the father and the mother,

and any DNA anomalies when compared

with the current human genetic database.

Looks pretty good.

So, we will pack this up and send it off

and in four to six weeks, they should have the result.

Four to six weeks, okay.

Thank you very much, really appreciate your input on this.

- Take care, gentlemen. - You got it. -Thanks a lot.

For hundreds of years, researchers have been confronted

with numerous scientific anomalies.

But traditional science is often intolerant of evidence

that doesn't fit neatly within accepted frameworks.

Because of these prejudices,

could we be missing a greater truth

about mankind's origins?

I think scientists need to look at these things,

and instead of just dismissing it offhand right away,

to be like, wait a second.

Maybe we are not the first.

Maybe another civilization did exist.

Perhaps there is an extraterrestrial connection.

Because clearly we have a mystery there

and everybody's looking the other way.

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 a 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 Batelle 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, a hundred 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 one percent 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 point two to two percent 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 archeology 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
