Ancient Aliens

Archaeologists discovered cave systems in China.

Inside those caves, they found hundreds

of these round disks

that contained these bizarre grooves

with strange writing on them.

All over the world, you find ancient depictions of disks.

Not only depictions,

but they also occur as actual artifacts.

Local legend says that the sun disk

was transported through these tunnels

to some unknown destination.

The disk could actually be some method

of communicating with the god himself.

Sort of a god button

that the ancient civilizations could push

and be able to connect with the gods.

Maybe the disks themselves are extraterrestrial,

or they're imbued with some sort of

extraterrestrial intelligence.

The Baian-Kara-Ula mountain range, China, 1938.

While trekking through the rugged terrain,

an archaeologist from Beijing University and his team

discover what appears to be man-made caves.

Archaeologists discovered cave systems in China

that contained the skeletons of very short, spindly creatures

with giant heads.

They also found petroglyphs

and cave paintings of the solar system.

And inside those caves,

they also found hundreds of these round disks

that contained these bizarre grooves

with strange writing on them.

According to an article

published in a German magazine in July 1962,

entitled "UFOs in Prehistoric Times,"

archaeologists unearthed 716

of these disk-shaped objects from the caves,

later termed Dropa stones.

Each stone had a small hole in the center,

measured roughly a foot in diameter,

and had grooves containing microscopic inscriptions.

The team from Beijing

dated the Dropa stones to roughly 10000 BC,

based on the skeletal remains found at the site.

But their purpose remained a mystery

for more than two decades,

until a Chinese archaeologist claimed to have deciphered them.

When the disks were closely examined,

they discovered that within the grooves were tiny hieroglyphs

that were so tiny,

they could only be seen with a magnifying glass.

When they were finally deciphered,

they told this amazing story.

They tell the story of the Dropa,

tiny extraterrestrial or dwarf-like beings.

Those hieroglyphs

told about the crash landing of some people

that flew through the universe

and came upon the third planet of our solar system.

And when they crash landed in this remote mountain area,

they had no possibility

to repair their spacecraft and had to stay there.

The Chinese Academy of the Sciences

forbid the Chinese archaeologist,

named Tsum Um Nui, to, uh, publish what he found out.

But he succeeded in publishing the story,

and when it came to our Western states,

it was received as, well, some kind of science fiction.

No one believed the story.

Shortly after the article

about the Dropa Stones was published,

the Chinese government confiscated the disks

and quickly dismissed their existence as a hoax.

But was it?

An interesting aspect about the Dropa stones

is that, today,

none of these disks exist publicly.

So, that means, at some point,

these disks were put away by museums,

by archaeologists, who knows?

Any and all trace of these disks is gone.

So one has to wonder: "What was up with these disks?"

Because if they were just ordinary artifacts,

then they would be displayed at museums.

What if we have another example

of where archaeologists are afraid

to investigate something,

just because the inscription on there reads

there was an extraterrestrial visitation?

Years after the Dropa stones disappeared

from the public sphere,

evidence of a mysterious short-statured population

known as the Dzopa was discovered in the area.

This would seem to add further credence

to the Beijing archaeologists' report,

in which they stated that they had come across

three-foot-tall human-like skeletons

in the caves that contained the Dropa stones.

Since the Chinese government took control of these disks,

we're at a loss for more knowledge

about who the Dropa actually were.

But the reason why we should pay attention to the Dropa story

is because in 1995,

it was discovered that there was a group of people

living very near the Dropa crash.

The tallest person in this group was three-foot, ten inches tall,

matching identically the description of the Dropa beings.

Because this tribe matched the description of the Dropa,

one wonders, are they actual descendants of the Dropa beings?

If the published account of the Dropa disks is true,

is this evidence of an alien technology on Earth?

References to disk-shaped artifacts

associated with otherworldly beings

can be found throughout human history.

All over the world... it doesn't matter on what continent...

You find ancient depictions of disks.

Not only depictions, but they also occur as actual artifacts.

Disks are everywhere in ancient imagery,

connected with extraterrestrials or celestial beings.

In Christian art, we'll see disks in the sky

that appear to be like craft or UFOs.

The Chinese portrayed their gods flying in disks.

You will see saints with halos,

and it symbolizes expanded consciousness

and connection to other realms.

The Egyptians had golden disks on their heads as well.

When we see these disks, it always symbolizes

their connection to otherworldly realms.

Disks have found themselves as central artifacts

within every ancient culture.

Disks were seen as points of communication with the divine.

Disks were revered as being that point of connection

with their creator gods.

When we look at the almost universal presence

of this disk shape in so many ancient cultures,

we're seeing something that defies

the common idea of it just being a useless artifact.

It is an archetype.

It is a consistent motif that shows up over and over again,

and we need to investigate the possibility

that there is some actual message contained within them.

Is there a connection between the Dropa stones

reportedly found in the mountains of China,

and disk-shaped artifacts written about

by ancient cultures all around the world?

And if so, were they left here by extraterrestrial visitors,

with a purpose mankind has yet to discover?

Perhaps further clues can be found

by examining ancient disks

that were believed to hold the power to communicate

with the gods.

Phaistos, Crete, 1908.

While exploring the ruins of an ancient Minoan palace

dating to the 17th century BC,

Italian archaeologist Luigi Pernier

unearths a clay disk with strange writing on it.

More than 100 years after its discovery,

researchers are still unsure who created this mysterious disk,

what its purpose was, or what the symbols on it might mean.

The Phaistos Disk is interesting

because of what we don't know, in a sense.

What we do know is that it came from the Phaistos Temple,

which is a Minoan temple, and we really wish we did know

more about what Minoan civilization was,

what their writing was, what their culture was.

It in itself is a very mysterious culture.

And then the disk adds another layer of mystery.

Here it was in one of their main temples,

and yet it doesn't bear resemblance

to anything we've seen from Minoan civilization.

So did this come from a very, very early time?

Was it brought in from an outsider group at some point

that was considered significant and sacred enough

to put in a temple?

There isn't a scholar on this planet

that can tell you where the Phaistos Disk originated from.

The clay the disk has been made from is not Minoan.

Nobody knows the origins of the language on the Phaistos Disk.

It doesn't match ancient Minoan.

Now, over the last 100 years,

there's been 40 failed academic attempts

to decode or to discover

the true language of the Phaistos Disk.

It wasn't until 2008, professors from the University of Crete

and the University of Oxford deciphered the first phrase,

which was, "The mother goddess from beyond."

They can see the patterns within the structure of the language.

But they all admit they can understand

100% of nothing.

The Phaistos Disk

is written in these curious hieroglyphics.

They include pictures of men with Mohawks, different designs.

Even one of the figures looks like a flying saucer.

While the Phaistos Disk was discovered in Crete,

we know that the script on it is not Minoan.

It's believed to be made with moveable type,

which wasn't invented for another 1,500 years.

This opens up the possibility

that the Minoans must have been in contact

with some advanced beings, maybe even extraterrestrials who,
