Ancient Aliens

Mysterious structures...

numbering in the thousands.

They created as many as 250 within this valley alone.

Monuments containing secret powers.

It could be a device used to transmit a type of energy...

that we still can't fully understand.

And architectural wonders...

that could change everything we know about our past.

It's really rewriting the history of the world.

All across the Earth, there are massive pyramids...

many so old that their origins are completely unknown.

But some believe there are thousands more...

hidden by oceans, jungles and the desert sands...

and that once we find them, they will reveal shocking truths about our past.

Is it possible that extraterrestrials have guided humans...

to build pyramids for some special reason of their own?

Millions of people around the world believe we have been visited in the past...

by extraterrestrial beings.

What if it were true?

Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history?

And if so, might there be a connection...

between aliens and Earth's hidden pyramids?

Western China. May 21, 1992.

An underground nuclear explosion on the Lop Nur test range...

sends shock waves through the Earth.

The event is recorded by US government seismometers...

which reveal unexpected geological anomalies under the earth...

just north of Anchorage, Alaska.

Six months later...

a US Army counterintelligence officer stationed at nearby Fan Richardson...

Douglas Mutschler, sees a local news report...

that claims these underground scans had detected a colossal pyramid structure...

50 miles southwest of Mount McKinley.

Mutschler contacts the station to find out more.

But mysteriously, they tell him no further information is available.

There has been talk that there's a pyramid up in Alaska.

But nobody seems to be investigating that.

Maybe because it's so remote, or...

maybe they have investigated it, and they just don't want to tell us about it.

Frustrated by the lack of information...

Sgt. Mutschler contacts journalist Linda MOULTON Howe...

who reaches out across her network...

searching for anyone that could shed light on the Alaska pyramid story.

Soon after, she receives a response...

from a man who requests to remain anonymous.

He claims his father was an engineer...

who got a firsthand look at the secret pyramid.

His father had had a Navy career...

and then was asked to continue to work... in Alaska...

on a very special project...

that involved something underground that put out a lot of energy.

There were mining shaft elevators on the surface.

He would go down to the base of a huge underground pyramid.

His work was to try to understand...

how this was giving off...

what they estimated was a gigantic amount of energy.

But he never would talk, because this was a government secret.

There is no doubt in my mind that there is a cover-up going on...

and that something was found there in Alaska.

I think the reason why it's been covered up...

is that we would have to completely rewrite the science of human origins-

the concept that at one point there was a global industrialized civilization...

that had reached a technology that is, in fact, superior to our own...

because we cannot easily build pyramids like this today.

Could it be, as some ancient astronaut theorists suggest...

that the United States government is hiding the Alaskan pyramid...

until they can fully comprehend and harness its power?

Perhaps the answer can be found 4,400 miles away.

Central China, 1945.

While transporting supplies from India...

US Army Air Corps pilot James Gaussman spots a mysterious structure...

that becomes known as the Great White Pyramid.

One of the most unusual stories of pyramids came out of World War ll.

The story is of an American pilot who was flying the Burma Hump...

over to Chongqing in central China.

And what he claimed he saw was a huge pyramid in the valley...

with a gigantic crystal capstone on the top of it.

Two years la fer, the New York Times reported...

that Colonel Maurice Sheahan...

another American aviator flying over central China...

spotted a 1,000-foot-high pyramid in the same area.

Since then, many more pyramidal structures have been discovered...

throughout the region...

some of them covered in vegetation...

seemingly camouflaged to look like natural formations.

But the Chinese government denies that there are any pyramids in China at all...

claiming that any structures resembling pyramids are actually burial mounds...

from the Han dynasty.

There are a number of large pyramids in central China.

But the Chinese government has gone out of their way...

to try to dismiss the idea that these mounds are pyramids.

Still to this day, the subject of the Chinese pyramids is very rarely discussed.

However, you can go on Google Earth...

and you can see the pyramids of the Shaanxi Province for yourself...

by just zooming in on this area.

But the Chinese government does not want you to go in this area.

It is declared off-limits to everyone except for the local peasant farmers in that region.

What are they hiding?

Could these pyramids reveal a different version of history...

than what the Chinese government wants us to know?

Curiously, other modern discoveries of pyramids...

have been met with similar denials.

In 2005, Dr. Sam Osmanagich...

a professor of anthropology and amateur archaeologist...

announced that he had found five ancient pyramids hidden in Bosnia...

a claim that the Bosnian government initially supported...

but then later denied.

When I first saw the pyramids in Bosnia...

they looked like hills.

But you could see the regular geometry-

four triangular faces, obvious corners.

And when I took compass...

compass shows me that those sides match cardinal points.

I knew immediately that these were artificial structures...

below the layers of soil and vegetation.

They tell us that the pyramids were built only in Egypt and Mexico.

Wrong.

They are built on all six continents.

From Asia, Africa, Europe, Central, North and South America.

So they are worldwide phenomena.

In 21st century, we will need to establish a new science...

which will finally answer the question...

to who, when, how and why...

built the oldest and the most superior pyramid.

But why would governments around the world...

want to try and discredit these new discoveries of pyramids?

World governments might not want to be forthcoming with this information.

Just like we've seen with the Chinese government...

places like Alaska, and others might also hold hidden wealths of archaeological finds...

that we still have yet to uncover.

Are there ancient pyramids...

that are deliberately being kept secret from the public?

Might the discovery of these and an untold number of other hidden pyramids...

expose the truth about our origins?

Perhaps further clues can be found in a region of South America...

that contains more pyramids than any other place on Earth.

Northern Peru. The Lambayeque Valley.

What appears today to be a ravine of large earthen hills...

is, in fact, a lost ancient city.

For centuries, this region was overlooked by archaeologists.

But in 1988, explorer Thor Heyerdahl investigated the mysterious mounds...

and determined them to be man-made structures.

The excitement at what he and his team found...

led to a series of excavations...

and to the discovery that what had long been considered natural formations...

were, in fact, massive adobe brick pyramids...

severely ravaged by time.

And this vast system of monuments...

was built by what might very well have been...

the most prolific pyramid builders of all.

This was the site of a culture called the Sican.

And these people, who rose around 750 AD...

seemed to be absolutely obsessed with the creation of pyramids.

In fact, they created as many as 250 within this valley alone.

And in one particular town, they created 26...

that were all basically back-to-back, side by side.

And it would seem that the stories from the myths and legends of these people...

is that they felt that they had to do this.

'Cause if they didn't create these pyramids...

the world would quite literally come to an end.

Archaeologists suggest...

that it would have taken 2,000 workers an entire year...

just' to make the mud bricks for one of the 26' pyramids...

here in the city of Tucume.

But who could have engineered such a massive construction project?

Is it possible the builders had access to advanced technology?

If they had help to build these pyramids...

it would solve a lot of problems...

in trying to understand how a civilization...

could mount such a daunting enterprise.

According to mainstream historians...

the Sican people mysteriously disappeared in 1375.

Although there are no written records...

revealing why they were obsessed with building pyramids...

ancient astronaut theorists say clues may be found...

by examining the multiple images of birdmen...

that archaeologists discovered inside one of the structures.

The birdman image is something that's iconic...

of depicting someone who can come from the sky.

So these glyphs that are seen on the walls of these structures are particularly interesting.

The idea that we have the pyramids...

that we have this representation of people coming from the sky...

is yet another validation of an amazing structure...

built with the assistance of some being that came from the skies.

Depictions of creatures that are half bird and half man...

have been discovered in many ancient cultures.

Approximately 1,400 miles south of Tucume, in Bolivia...

carvings of birdmen can be found on the sun gate at Tiahuanaco.

According to the local Incan mythology...

these are beings who came down from the sky with the creator god, Viracocha.

Similar stories can be found on Easter Island with the so-called “birdman” cult...

In Japan, where supernatural birdman beings called tengu are revered...

and on the other side of the world in ancient Sumeria...

birdmen known as the Anunnaki were said to be advanced beings...

that came down from the heavens to colonize the Earth.

You have to wonder if these birdmen...

aren't the Anunnaki who are coming from ancient Sumeria...

who have these elongated heads.

And so is it possible that these Anunnaki extraterrestrials were coming to Peru...

and to Tucume...
