00:00Don't miss out when Ancient Aliens Live lands in a town near you.
00:16The out-of-this-world tour continues with new dates announced through 2024.
00:21Hear from the experts of Ancient Aliens Live and in person.
00:24All of you are on this journey with all of us together.
00:28Get your tickets now at AncientAliensLiveTour.com.
00:31We've talked so much over the years and I always loved your perspective, but also all
00:35the experience and knowledge and just where you've been.
00:39You've been in so many fantastic and unusual places.
00:42Can you talk about how that's expanded over the years, expanded your sort of reach of
00:48knowledge and what that means to you at this point with Ancient Aliens Live?
00:53Well, through the opportunities of the show, I got to go to places that oftentimes you
00:59can only visit with permissions and special access.
01:03And so I understand that what I do is, you know, not many people can do this.
01:08And so, you know, I have to pinch myself often and also say thank you to the audience because
01:15without the viewers, or shall I say the watchers, the show would not still be on the air.
01:21And here we are, you know, almost 15 years later, almost 300 hours worth of television.
01:29And so, you know, none of this would have happened without the viewers.
01:34This is pretty amazing.
01:35I mean, check this out.
01:37If you look at this groove right here, I mean, forget chicken bones.
01:41You simply cannot do this with primitive tools.
01:45And you've got these holes drilled at an equidistant, as if it's some type of a female piece to
01:53a male piece.
01:54So what was it that actually fit into this?
01:58Because one thing to me is crystal clear that this here or any of these pieces, they have
02:05nothing to do with any type of embellishments.
02:08Well, I mean, and they have so many questions.
02:10That's what this is sort of about this, you know, doing it live.
02:13And you talk about the energy you get off of that, but also, you know, because we're
02:18learning more and because we're seeing more and more things are being uncovered, how that
02:22enriches the conversations that you have, both with your viewers and the fans, but also
02:27the people that you go see on location.
02:29Yeah.
02:30I mean, look, Ancient Aliens began as a one-off two-hour special, and nobody at the time predicted
02:37that we would have so many more seasons.
02:40And, you know, we have struck a chord with audiences because the questions, why are we
02:47here?
02:48Where do we come from?
02:49And above all, where are we going?
02:51Are some of the most profound questions of our human existence.
02:56I mean, in my opinion, it's like the ultimate quest to answer these questions.
03:01And, you know, I think that exploring the extraterrestrial question is one of the most
03:07important things we can do because 20 years ago, you know, we were laughed at.
03:13And today people are like, oh, wait a second, maybe they have something there.
03:20I mean, you know, this idea that we're the only intelligent life in the universe, that
03:25to me would be an insult in the face of creation.
03:29I personally think that life is, that the universe is teeming with life.
03:35And we are somewhere there where there's, you know, more primitive societies out there,
03:39there's more advanced societies, and we're somewhere in the middle.
03:42But we are certainly, certainly not alone in the universe.
03:46I mean, this here, these look like technical components, part of a larger, almost industrial
03:52construction.
03:53I've got a little paper clip, ordinary paper clip that I've just unfurled to see how deep
04:04they go.
04:05And they actually go equidistant all the way down.
04:10I mean, that is something that cannot be achieved with chicken bones.
04:16Well, I mean, the notion of history and mythology, and we've talked about this, even more recently,
04:21you see all these parallels that go back, you know, and so things that cannot be explained,
04:26but things that can be sort of connected.
04:29Can you talk about that element of connection of history?
04:32About how history informs our future?
04:35Well, if you look at ancient, some of the ancient mythologies and legends or ancient
04:40carvings and paintings, you see some beings that are up in the sky in blue bubbles.
04:47Now, if you have paid attention in the last five years, there are new UFO videos released
04:53by the Navy that show exactly that type of bubble up in the sky.
04:59So are we talking about the same visitors?
05:03And I'm suggesting yes, because I don't think that these ancient astronauts really ever
05:09left because throughout history, they were always referred to by our ancestors as the
05:14watchers, the observers.
05:16So who knows if we've been observed and watched at the entire time of our existence for them
05:24to just see, hey, how are these guys doing down there?
05:27And you know, what direction are they going?
05:29And I think that, you know, we should pay attention to this because they're here.
05:34Now what kind of things are you, there's certain topics on the tour that you guys are going
05:38to be talking about.
05:39Could you talk about that?
05:40Because you know, it all evolves, but it's about that interaction, because obviously
05:45with you guys as the experts, but people there, they want to sort of, they're there to learn,
05:49they're there to be educated on this.
05:51Right.
05:52So Ancient Aliens Live is a 90 minute evening program, which it's a state show.
05:58And some of your favorite contributors will be there like myself, David Childress, William
06:02Henry, Nick Pope, Jason Martell.
06:05And we essentially take a thrill ride around the world, exploring ancient Egypt.
06:11We explore Greece, we explore the elongated skulls, we go to Puma Punku, we go to sort
06:16of the smoking guns or some of the smoking guns of the ancient astronaut theory.
06:22And it's a fun night out in the town for the whole family, all your friends.
06:27And you know, it's something that I would encourage anyone to come and experience because
06:31the energy and the passion of our fans is palpable.
06:37Sometimes the walls are shaking and you have to come to see it, to believe it.
06:42Predominantly, we have two types of stone at Puma Punku, and that is red sandstone and
06:50gray andesite.
06:52They have found tools made of copper and of iron and bronze at Puma Punku.
06:59And with those tools, you can absolutely cut the sandstone.
07:05However, you cannot cut the gray andesite blocks with bronze or with copper or with
07:12iron.
07:12Can you talk about how the community is built?
07:14Because not just because of technology, but because, you know, we want to know more.
07:19Can you talk about the community of fans of ancient aliens and what you've seen over
07:24the years, but how that's evolved?
07:26Just the fervor.
07:27It's even more palpable than it was in the beginning, you know?
07:31Well, and I completely agree with that because, look, what many people seem to have
07:37forgotten is that Ancient Aliens began as a one-off, two-hour special that aired in
07:432009, and there was no talk of a series.
07:48And then six months later, the phone rings and it's Kevin Burns, the creator of Ancient
07:52Aliens. He's like, buddy, this never happens, but you've been picked up for season one of
07:57Ancient Aliens.
07:58You better promise me you've got more pyramids to talk about.
08:03And I said, Kevin, not only do we have more pyramids to talk about, but a vast array of
08:08other topics that are part of the ancient astronaut theory.
08:12And here we are almost 300 hours in.
08:17And again, if that only happened because of the passion and the loyalty of our fans and
08:25our viewers. So our debt or my heart goes out to them.
08:30What's interesting, too, is that the stone blocks that we find at Puma Punku, the
08:35surface is as if you're touching glass.
08:40It is perfection.
08:42So to me, it's possible that our ancestors figured out a way to vitrify stone, and we
08:51have evidence here of some type of a heat tool.
08:53And my last question, thank you, but your passion is still there.
08:56I can hear it. I can feel it.
08:57You're still so into sort of this journey.
09:00Where does your passion come from?
09:02I mean, that's that's that's the key part of this.
09:05This is the jewel. This is the jewel inside the crystal skull.
09:09Where does that come from for you?
09:11Well, I appreciate that.
09:12But ever since I was little, I had parents that traveled a lot to Greece and their
09:21idea of a fun time was going to ancient sites.
09:25And so they would say, OK, we'll see you in two hours.
09:28So they would go with a guide or something like this.
09:31But they knew that that would be too boring for me or something when I was little.
09:35And so they would just say, OK, meet us here in three hours at the bus.
09:39Go explore yourself.
09:40So I hung out in these ancient sites.
09:43And, you know, to me, archaeology and anthropology, it's my deepest passion.
09:48And, you know, I think there is something there where anyone with an open mind can
09:54see that some of those ancient stories that they today refer to as mythology and
10:00legends are based on some sort of a reality.
10:04There had to have been some sort of a spark of inspiration and that spark of
10:09inspiration, in my opinion, or in the opinion of an ancient astronaut theorist,
10:12is that this didn't begin in a vacuum, but that it began when someone visited
10:18descending from the sky in physical form to impart knowledge.
10:23The reason why I'm so passionate about this is because I'm talking about our
10:28first teachers that came from elsewhere.
10:31And by the way, I'm a huge fan of the teaching profession.
10:34I'm a huge fan of the archaeologists.
10:36So, you know, I pinch myself every day getting to do what I get to do with my colleagues.
