00:00In every corner of the world, archaeologists have found strange elongated skulls.
00:08The elongated skull phenomena is global in scope.
00:12We find them in Mesoamerica, in Europe, in Asia.
00:17Many of the skulls possess other unusual features.
00:21Some of these skulls had very large eye sockets.
00:25And ancient astronaut theorists suggest they are highly reminiscent of how our ancestors depicted the gods.
00:34The Anunnaki have elongated skulls.
00:37The Ubaid figures too.
00:39And a Japanese deity named Fukurojin.
00:43Could the elongated skulls be the ultimate evidence of our alien origins?
00:49Some of these skulls are in fact extraterrestrial.
00:53They're right in front of our eyes.
01:12Northeast China, 2011.
01:16Archaeologists from Jillian University begin excavations at an ancient settlement known as Potomuga.
01:23The team unearths ancient pottery, animal remains, and agricultural tools.
01:29But their most prized discovery is a burial ground that was used by the inhabitants of Hotomuga.
01:37Curiously, among the skeletons are nearly a dozen that have highly unusual skulls.
01:44These skulls are so bizarre looking.
01:46I mean, the eye sockets and jaws are pretty much like a normal human skull.
01:52But the cranium is severely elongated.
01:55I mean, they look like they're something from another world.
01:59Dr. Chen Wan was part of the scientific team that sent out bone samples from the first skeleton to have
02:06them dated.
02:07The results indicate the remains are far older than expected.
02:12The bone samples of that skeleton was sent to a lab in Florida.
02:17So it came back dated around 12,000 years ago from three independent dating units.
02:26The Hotomuga site has the oldest deformed skulls in China that we know of so far.
02:35They discovered at least 11 elongated skulls stretching all the way back to 12,000 years.
02:45It's truly exciting.
02:46So it's an incredibly important site.
02:51The extraordinary remains recovered in Hotomuga are believed to represent the oldest elongated skulls ever discovered.
03:00But curiously, many other similarly misshapen skulls have been found all over the world.
03:06The elongated skull phenomena is global in scope.
03:11In North America, we find them predominantly in the southwest.
03:14We find them in Mesoamerica.
03:17We have in Africa, Europe, in the Middle East, India, China.
03:25We know that it comes as south as the Indonesian islands.
03:30Even possibly as far south as Australia.
03:33So absolutely everywhere.
03:36What could explain the discovery of elongated skulls in so many locations separated by thousands of miles?
03:44Many of the finds predate any historical record.
03:48But anthropologists believe all of these skulls are the result of artificial cranial deformation.
03:55Artificial cranial deformation is the cultural practice of manipulating the skull, which is typically done in infants.
04:06Because the infant skull is more malleable.
04:09The earliest known reference to artificial cranial deformation is found in a text from 400 BC called On Airs, Waters
04:19and Places.
04:22Written by the Greek physician and philosopher Hippocrates, it describes the macrocephaly.
04:27A group of people believed to be from either India or somewhere in Africa.
04:34Hippocrates wrote that the most noble of the macrocephaly had the longest heads.
04:40And that skull elongation was achieved during childhood by binding an infant's head to a hard board.
04:48Now there are different forms of this.
04:51There's cradle boarding where they literally wrap around the head with different types of materials with hard boards to create
05:00this flat area.
05:01There's elongation of the skull where it's often just wrapped around with material.
05:06So it kind of almost stretches out to a point.
05:09So there's lots of different techniques.
05:11While elongated skulls have been found worldwide.
05:16The Hodomuga site in China provides significant insights into this phenomenon.
05:22Not only does it contain the world's oldest known elongated skulls.
05:27But it also provides evidence of artificial cranial deformation taking place over thousands of years in a single location.
05:35The important site in China has, as we know it, a continuation of cranial deformation in the local area and
05:46on site for at least 7,000 years.
05:50Which, as far as we know, there's no other site that can demonstrate this continuation of the practice of cranial
05:59deformation in one local area.
06:01It's amazing.
06:0425 skeletons were found.
06:0911 of them carried signs of intentional cranial modification.
06:16The age range is from 3 to 40.
06:20Male and female both.
06:22Why certain people had their heads elongated and others didn't is unknown.
06:27But for archaeologists, an even more puzzling question is what would cause a civilization to continue such a strange custom
06:36for 7,000 years.
06:39Curiously, in some parts of the world, artificial cranial deformation is still practiced even today.
06:48We do still have some, like, modern populations still practicing head bounding.
06:54Such as a tribe living in Congo, in Africa.
06:59And in South Pacific Island, a nation called Vanuatu.
07:04And some people living in Mexico, still doing that.
07:09This shows that it's not just a fashion trend or done amongst one particular group that died out, but that
07:19it is being continued millennia after millennia.
07:23Archaeologists, anthropologists, have no real consensus on exactly why it was done.
07:31Most of academia would lead to the suggestion that cranial deformation was mainly for social status.
07:41And it was used by the elites, the priests, the scholars.
07:47It could stand for religious reasons.
07:50People may have, like, they think, you know, if you have elongated head, you may look like God or goddess,
07:56so you can communicate with them.
07:58In Chinese art, these Taoist immortals, they are often shown as having extremely elongated heads and foreheads.
08:07And this indicates that they are in touch with divine beings.
08:12I mean, this is the kind of thing that makes you above the normal human.
08:19You are now almost a god.
08:22Could it be that ancient people practice artificial cranial deformation to look like the gods?
08:30But if so, why would people all around the world envision their gods with elongated heads?
08:38Perhaps further clues can be found by examining mysterious ancient sites where archaeologists have unearthed highly unusual skulls.
08:53In the middle of the Mediterranean Sea lie the islands of Malta.
08:59While they cover only 120 square miles, the islands are home to some of the most impressive megalithic sites on
09:07the planet.
09:08The Gigantia Temple was built with stones weighing more than 20 tons.
09:14And Hajarim features one of the largest freestanding stones in the world.
09:20But many believe Malta's most impressive ancient site lies beneath the earth.
09:25It is called the Hypogeum of Hall Saffliani.
09:31The Hypogeum site in Malta, House Saffliani, was first found in the 1900s by accident by a builder who was
09:42digging foundations for houses that eventually uncovered this mysterious archaeological site that dates back to at least 4000 BC.
09:52You have all these caverns perfectly cut out of the bedrock, going down multiple levels with these tunnels between them.
10:02In 1907, during one of the first excavations of the Hypogeum, archaeologists discovered an estimated 7,000 skeletons, some with
10:15strangely shaped skulls.
10:18Thousands of skeletons were discovered in the Hypogeum.
10:22And what's amazing is that some of the elongated skulls had this large sloping aspect to the back of their
10:29head, which were studied by archaeologists.
10:32But despite the remarkable discovery, many of the original excavation reports, and many of the skulls themselves, have disappeared.
10:43Quite a lot of them were recorded, but some have been lost.
10:47This is where the big mystery lies, because we really want to know what happened to the ones that are
10:51in the old photos.
10:52What happened to the 7,000 skeletons that were found down there?
10:57No one knows what's happened to them. They just vanished.
11:00Adding to the intrigue of the Malta skeletons is the fact that it's not known that cranial deformation was practiced
11:10on the island of Malta.
11:11It's simply not there.
11:14I think the reason why they vanished is because they're so startling to look at.
11:19And it's mainstream archaeologists and anthropologists don't have an explanation for what's going on here.
11:25So it's just easier to pack them up in a box and chuck them away rather than to talk about
11:31what's actually happening.
11:33Only a few of the elongated skulls recovered from the Hypogeum are still known to exist and are periodically put
11:41on display at the National Museum of Archaeology in Valetta.
11:45But an even more mysterious skull was recently discovered thousands of miles away at a site known as Russia's Stonehenge.
11:57Archaim, Russia. This mysterious ancient settlement features earthen circles made nearly 4,000 years ago.
12:06Located in the southern Urals is a place called Arkhaim.
12:11It's referred to as Russia's Stonehenge because of the circular structure of the monuments that were discovered there.
12:17And a very unusual skeleton was discovered at Arkhaim.
12:21In 2015, archaeologists unearthed a skeleton at the site.
12:28Photographs from the Arkhaim Museum reveal a surprising feature.
12:33What was unusual about it was the skull, and it had this massive protuberance extending from the forehead.
12:41This was an elongated skull, apparently of a female, possibly some kind of priestess or revered person at that time.
12:50It had an elongation of the skull, almost like a cone head, but also a kind of area here that
12:55kind of stuck out,
12:56which is a style we get where you have a wrapping of materials around the skull to create this particular
13:02look.
13:03It brings a whole other dimension to what was going on there in prehistoric times.
13:09What compelled the ancient people of Malta and Russia to elongate the skulls of certain individuals?
13:17While very little is known about the early people who inhabited these two sites,
13:22another group that practiced headbinding holds a prominent place in history.
13:28The Huns.
13:31The Huns were a horse-riding warrior clan, basically, that came out of Central Asia into Europe during the fourth
13:43to fifth centuries of the Common Era.
13:46They had head deformation as part of their tradition, so they introduced this particularly into Hungary,
13:56and basically the cemeteries that have been uncovered in Hungary have dozens and dozens of skulls that have been defolved.
14:09The Huns took this veneration of the elongated skulls to such an extent that they created money of it.
14:16It was on their coins.
14:18So, you know, if that does not indicate significance or importance, I don't know what does.
14:26It's known that they widely practiced cranial deformation as a way of displaying status and power,
14:33and in fact as a way of displaying their strength.
14:36If it's true that the Huns elongated their skulls to display power and strength,
14:42what inspired them to take such a drastic action?
14:46Some believe the Huns were influenced by encounters with other worldly beings.
14:53Amongst the Maya of Central America, artificial cranial deformation was incredibly important.
15:01And when the earliest missionaries reached Mexico in the 16th, 17th centuries,
15:08they said to them, why are you doing this?
15:10And they said, the gods told us to do this, so that we might better serve them.
15:16Ancient astronaut theorists find it intriguing that the Maya claimed their inspiration for head-binding,
15:22came from the gods.
15:24Because in many ancient cultures worldwide, the gods were depicted with elongated heads.
15:32In ancient Egypt, the god Osiris is portrayed with an elongated skull.
15:38You cross over into the Americas and you find among the Olmecs that they're often portrayed,
15:44wearing helmets that are suggestive of elongated skulls.
15:48We have a Japanese deity named Fukurojin, and he also has this very long, extended cranium and forehead.
15:57And the Japanese say, yeah, this shows that he has supernatural powers and wisdom.
16:04Have people throughout the world practiced head-binding to emulate the gods, who they envisioned as having elongated heads?
16:13And if so, why did cultures scattered across the globe represent their gods with this same strange feature?
16:23Anthropologists suggest that this was something that cultures spontaneously started doing all around the world,
16:29to display status, power, beauty, increased intelligence, these sorts of things.
16:35But that doesn't seem to make a lot of sense.
16:38What makes more sense to me is that all of these cultures came into contact with a group of beings
16:44who had elongated skulls.
16:48Over and again in the ancient world, they witnessed these beings and then started to mimic what they saw in
16:55these beings themselves in order to become more like them.
16:58The bottom line is that elongated skulls were found all around the world and always with one explanation,
17:08that our ancestors tried to look like their gods.
17:15The ancient astronaut theory suggests that these gods were extraterrestrials.
17:20Did ancient cultures across the world engage in the extreme practice of head-binding to emulate extraterrestrial visitors with elongated
17:31heads?
17:32Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,
17:36and suggest that further evidence can be found by taking a closer look at a collection of elongated skulls which
17:44possess mysterious features that defy explanation.
17:54The ancient world's greatest mysteries
17:55This South American country is home to some of the ancient world's greatest mysteries,
18:02including the incredible megalithic sites of Sanxayuaman and Ollantaytambo,
18:08as well as the strange band of holes that stretches across the Pisco Valley,
18:13and the thousands of massive geoglyphs known as the Nazca Lines.
18:18Here, in the small coastal town of Paracas,
18:23archaeologists discovered yet another ancient mystery,
18:26some of the most unusual elongated skulls ever found.
18:32Amongst the strangest elongated skulls in the world are those from Paracas in Peru.
18:40As early as 1928, under the leadership of an archaeologist there by the name of Julio Tillo,
18:49uncovered dozens and dozens of these skulls that look incredibly strange.
18:55They are seriously elongated.
18:58I've seen some of these skulls in various museums and they are just astonishing.
19:05It's outrageous how long some of the skulls are.
19:08They literally just go up and up and up.
19:11Often they have ginger or red hair on them, or sometimes blonde hair,
19:15and some of the jaws are very big as well.
19:18But it's just the cranial mass inside it.
19:21It's almost like they must have had larger heads,
19:24because they look much bigger than any other skulls I've seen anywhere on the planet.
19:30These deserts of southern Peru are super dry.
19:34It rarely rains there.
19:37So, therefore, the skeletal material that they're able to excavate from the graveyards
19:44and pyramids and things in that area are very, very well preserved.
19:49Given the remarkable quality of these skulls,
19:53researchers have been able to study them in great detail.
19:57And they have found several anomalies that challenge the theory
20:00that they are all the result of head binding.
20:03One anomaly present in several of the paracas skulls
20:07is the absence of a sagittal suture,
20:10which is the seam where the two parietal bones of the skull come together.
20:15The elongated skulls lack what we call the sagittal suture,
20:19which goes from here to the back.
20:22Only this suture is visible,
20:26which baffles most scientists.
20:29The paracas skulls are missing the key sagittal suture
20:33that indicates that this is a human skull.
20:36So, if there's no suture, we have to be open to the question,
20:39are these, in fact, non-human skulls?
20:43Now, according to science, sutures only disappear
20:46when an individual achieves old, old age.
20:51And in many of these elongated skulls, the individual is not old.
20:56Some of these individuals, in fact, are children.
21:02The paracas skulls also present anomalies in terms of the measurements of facial features
21:07and openings in the skulls.
21:10In some cases, the eye sockets are about 20 to 25% larger on the elongated skulls.
21:16The jaw is bigger, and there are two holes in the back of the skull,
21:21which were likely for blood and nerve flow, which you do not find in a typical human skull.
21:28Also, what we call the foramen magnum, which is where the spinal cord enters the bottom of the skull,
21:34is a full inch or two and a half centimeters back from where it should be.
21:38Because in us, it's at the perfect balance point.
21:41But with the elongated skulls, it's two and a half centimeters, one inch backwards.
21:45And I think that's compensation genetically for the skull having a tendency of wanting to move backwards.
21:53The foramen magnum being off where it should be by a full two centimeters is not a small thing.
21:59That's highly unusual.
22:01And when you see that in an elongated skull, you have to ask if this is a human skull.
22:07Another unusual feature found on some of the paraca skulls is a prominent ridge that appears on the forehead.
22:15What's important with these skulls is this bump here, this forehead ridge right here.
22:22Because this is something that you really cannot achieve with artificial head binding.
22:30But perhaps the most intriguing abnormality of all is that some of the paraca skulls are significantly larger in volume
22:38than a normal human skull should be.
22:41What we find among the oldest of the paraca skulls is that their cranial volume is about 20% larger
22:47than a normal human being, especially a modern human being.
22:53Practices like head binding and cradle boarding change the shape of a child's skull, but they do not make it
22:59larger.
23:00So what's going on here?
23:02I think that the Paracas people were closely related to Homo sapiens sapiens, but I think they were a subspecies
23:09that were able to interbreed with what we call humans.
23:14Might the elongated skulls of Paracas be the remnants of a human-like species that once existed on Earth?
23:22Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and suggest it's possible that this mysterious lost race came from another planet.
23:32All the skulls that I think are the extraterrestrial ones, half the larger eye socket, half the pronounced forehead ridge,
23:38and the missing sutures.
23:40I really do think that we're looking at extraterrestrials.
23:44Are these in fact extraterrestrial beings?
23:47Are they alien-human hybrids?
23:49Are they carryovers from a previous civilization, for example, from the time before the Ice Age?
23:54We don't have definitive answers, but all of those are worthy questions.
24:00Could the elongated skulls that feature other unexplainable anomalies really be the remains of extraterrestrials who visited planet Earth in
24:10the distant past?
24:12Perhaps further clues can be found by examining the strange depictions of Egypt's most infamous pharaoh.
24:26Amarna Egypt
24:27Amarna Egypt
24:29December 1891
24:32While excavating a necropolis east of the city, a team of Italian archaeologists uncover the entrance to a royal tomb.
24:42Inside, they make a surprising discovery.
24:46Rather than being filled with magnificent artwork and treasures, the burial chamber has been defaced, its sarcophagus destroyed, and its
24:56mummy has vanished.
24:59The few legible carvings on the wall reveal it is the tomb of Egypt's most reviled pharaoh, Akhenaten.
25:08In the 14th century BCE, Akhenaten became the most controversial pharaoh, because he went from the pantheon of all the
25:20previous dynasties to a monotheistic system worshiping the sun god, Aten.
25:28So, he moved the capital, built new temples, made this new religion, the religion of Egypt.
25:38In the story of Akhenaten, we know that he introduced a religious revolution, the religion of light to ancient Egypt.
25:45This religion of light, called the Atan, was symbolized by the disk.
25:51But just what could have inspired Akhenaten to make such a drastic change in Egyptian society?
25:59Ancient astronaut theorists believe there may have been an otherworldly influence guiding his decision, and point to the unusual way
26:08he was depicted by artists of the time.
26:12Akhenaten was the first and only pharaoh to institute a rule amongst his people saying,
26:18Any artisan that creates either a statue or a carving or a drawing of him has to create images of
26:28him the way he actually looks.
26:31And it goes without saying that Akhenaten immediately looks rather strange.
26:37We have this guy with the high cheekbones, with a very weird and pear-like torso, with thin arms and
26:45chicken legs, and an elongated skull.
26:50Curiously, Akhenaten's wife, Nefertiti, and their children are also portrayed with elongated heads.
26:58What's so interesting about Akhenaten is that his children, including Tutankhamen, when they did CT scans on Tutankhamen's skull, they
27:06found that he had an elongated skull.
27:09So too did Akhenaten's daughter, Mary Totten.
27:15Following Akhenaten's death, his enemies went to extreme lengths to destroy any images of him they could find.
27:23When you go into the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, you will see sculptures of Akhenaten clearly portraying the elongated skull.
27:32But the ancient Egyptians did not want us to know anything about Akhenaten.
27:38They made every effort they possibly could to erase all references to his existence.
27:46But what inspired the ancient Egyptians to try to erase Akhenaten from history?
27:52Ancient astronaut theorists suggest Akhenaten had a profound connection to other worldly beings.
28:01Akhenaten introduced to the Egyptian people the Atten disk, which is often depicted as a winged disk.
28:10And that means that it's a disk that flies.
28:14Akhenaten had an encounter with the so-called Atten sun disk, from which he kept receiving knowledge.
28:21There are pictures of Akhenaten standing underneath a sun disk with hands coming down as so-called rays handing down
28:31items like the Ankh, for example.
28:34So these are all renderings to me that try to depict misunderstood technology type situations.
28:40Because that Atten sun disk was said to have moved in the sky and was able to descend in front
28:48of people and then lift off again.
28:50We have multiple references about this.
28:52So what is that?
28:54Well, if it wasn't the sun, the only answer to that is a visiting extraterrestrial craft.
29:01You have to ask the question, is it possible that Akhenaten was from another planet?
29:10Could it be that Akhenaten had extraterrestrial origins?
29:16Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and suggest that if this mummy is ever found, it might change everything we thought
29:24we knew about our history.
29:28Akhenaten's mummy is still missing, and his wife Nefertiti's too.
29:33How awesome would it be if his mummy would be found because we would then be able, most likely, to
29:39test an extraterrestrial.
29:43If the mummies of Akhenaten and Nefertiti are ever discovered, could they provide undeniable proof that extraterrestrials visited Earth in
29:53the distant past?
29:55And also solve the mystery of why, for thousands of years, people have taken extreme measures to elongate the skulls
30:04of their children.
30:06Perhaps further clues can be found by examining discoveries made in the region that gave rise to humankind's first known
30:15civilization.
30:23South Eastern Iraq, 1926.
30:28British archaeologist Sir Charles Leonard Woolley undertakes an extensive excavation of the Mesopotamian city of Ur.
30:38Based on previous discoveries made here, Woolley believes this could be the location of the city of Ur that is
30:45mentioned in the Bible's book of Genesis and was the home of Abraham.
30:49The excavations began to reveal an extraordinary necropolis.
30:57And as more and more rich funerary goods, pieces of art and jewellery and remains started to come up, this
31:07treasure became almost as important as that of the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb, which had occurred just a few years
31:16earlier.
31:17And what this did was to make Leonard Woolley a very famous archaeologist.
31:24Of all the artifacts uncovered during the excavation, perhaps none are more extraordinary than the discovery of the elaborate tomb
31:33of Queen Puabi.
31:36They found her body intact, covered with gold ornaments, and wearing this incredible golden headdress with cylinder seals attached to
31:47her body that identified her as this queen.
31:52Queen Puabi's burial chamber had almost been untouched since its original burial. It was quite amazing. There was a headdress,
32:03there were gold artifacts, and even a lyre.
32:06Queen Puabi is believed to have belonged to the royal family of the world's first known civilization, the Sumerians.
32:15But what's even more intriguing is that researchers examining her remains determined that her skull had an unusual shape.
32:23When you look at the old photos and reports, you can see that it's kind of been crushed, probably over
32:29time.
32:31It looked like she had an elongated skull.
32:34Whether it was elongated, we don't know, but there's a good chance it could have been.
32:40Curiously, a number of other mysterious skulls have been discovered in the region.
32:46Almost a hundred years after the discovery of Queen Puabi's tomb, in 2022, a team of archaeologists in nearby Iran
32:56unearthed a site that contained 13 ancient elongated skulls.
33:02In Iran at Chega Sofil, they have uncovered quite a large number of deformed skulls, and these skulls had peculiarities
33:13about them that showed that they were from families that were clearly inbred.
33:18And I think this is really significant because they were all elongating their heads.
33:26And this begs the question of why exactly they were deforming their heads.
33:35While the skulls unearthed in the Middle East are not as old as those found in China, researchers consider them
33:42equally significant.
33:43Because these discoveries suggest that artificial cranial deformation was practiced not just by primitive tribes in remote areas, but in
33:54the very first civilizations on Earth.
33:58And ancient astronaut theorists believe clues as to what might have inspired the Sumerians to elongate their heads can be
34:07found by examining the cuneiform writings concerning the Anunnaki.
34:12The Anunnaki are the founder gods of the Sumerian civilization, and writings about them refer to a much earlier epoch
34:23where the gods and goddesses ruled and created mankind.
34:28And the Anunnaki were masters of the arts and sciences, bringing civilizing qualities to this part of the world.
34:39The original name for the Anunnaki is the Anunnaki is the Anunnaki.
34:43Now, the Anunnaki means those of the sky, or the sky people, and they were the people with the knowledge
34:52of the stars, the knowledge of astronomy.
34:56And they were the prime movers behind the foundation of civilization.
35:03The Anunnaki were also talked about as having elongated skulls.
35:09They were tall, taller than most people.
35:12They also wore special hats and things like that.
35:14And so they look really, you know, different.
35:19For ancient astronaut theorists, it's highly intriguing that 13 elongated skulls have been discovered in the same region where the
35:28Anunnaki are said to have descended to Earth.
35:32Mainstream anthropology suggests the reason why head binding is done is in order to delineate the ruling class from the
35:43so-called masses.
35:45Basically, the idea is that they try to emulate or imitate their gods.
35:52Well, what do you mean?
35:55Does that mean whomever they saw had elongated skulls?
35:58The answer to that is a resounding yes.
36:02Our ancestors tried to look like whoever was that visited them because our ancestors always say that somebody descended from
36:11the sky to impart knowledge.
36:15Our ancestors tried to look like their gods.
36:22Considering that elongated skulls have been found across the globe and date back to the first known civilization.
36:30Is it possible that worldwide people witnessed the same otherworldly visitors?
36:36Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and suggest further evidence can be found at the world's oldest archaeological site.
36:52In southeastern Turkey stands one of the most important archaeological sites in the world, Gobekli Tepe.
36:59When it was first excavated in 1994, archaeologists discovered megalithic structures that were found to date back an astounding 12
37:10,000 years.
37:12Long before humans were thought to be capable of such sophisticated construction.
37:18What we can see from monumental architecture at Gobekli Tepe is that you have a high culture at a very
37:30early age.
37:31Many people today believe in the idea that before the end of the last ice age there was a high
37:41culture, a global culture that achieved advances in technology, innovation and science that was destroyed in some kind of cataclysm
37:54that took place probably around 12,000 years ago.
38:04For ancient astronaut theorists, Gobekli Tepe offers compelling evidence that an advanced civilization existed on Earth before our earliest recorded
38:14history.
38:15And they find it intriguing that the dating of Gobekli Tepe to 12,000 years ago matches the age of
38:23the world's oldest elongated skulls found in China.
38:27The discovery of elongated skulls in China from 12,000 years ago is enormously significant.
38:34It clearly points to something very mysterious happening in the ancient world.
38:39And perhaps this time there were beings who displayed these elongated skull features.
38:45Elevated beings, perhaps even otherworldly looking beings, extraordinary beings that had this elongated skull and people decided to copy them.
38:55It is thought possible that the descendants of this civilization moved into every part of the world and that new
39:07civilizations arose from that.
39:11Could it be that the worldwide practice of head binding was inspired by real encounters our ancestors had with non
39:20-human entities thousands of years ago?
39:23Is this why so many ancient cultures depicted their gods with elongated heads?
39:29And while it is certain that many elongated skulls are the product of artificial cranial deformation,
39:36could there be some that belong to an entirely different species?
39:42Most, if not all, archaeologists believe that the skulls that we were looking at would be the result of head
39:48binding or cranial deformation.
39:50I do not agree with them.
39:52I think that they were a subspecies of human, which I would call Homo sapiens paracus as compared to Homo
39:59sapiens sapiens.
40:01So a subspecies, not necessarily a different species or an alien entity, though that is a possibility.
40:09I think as we continue to study the elongated skulls, especially using DNA research processes,
40:17we're going to discover that there's a non-human component to these skulls.
40:21Now, whether they're extraterrestrial or not, we might not be able to definitively say that.
40:26But I do believe we're looking at an entirely different species of beings.
40:32Ultimately, it's exciting.
40:34You know, here we have a real mystery and we're still finding out new things about them.
40:40And doesn't this deserve our attention to find out who these people really were and how they are all connected?
40:48And are they connected to extraterrestrials who came thousands of years ago?
40:55The fact that these artificial elongated skulls exist worldwide, that to me is the smoking gun.
41:03We've been visited by extraterrestrials.
41:05It only happened because somebody saw something and they were like, you know what?
41:11Those are amazing beings.
41:13They taught us something.
41:14So you know what?
41:14Let's emulate this.
41:17Otherwise, why would there be all these elongated skulls around the world if there was no contact?
41:24There had to have been an inspiration for it.
41:28Is it possible that the extreme and highly mysterious custom of head binding,
41:34that has been practiced for at least 12,000 years, was first inspired by an extraterrestrial encounter?
41:41Are the many ancient depictions of gods with elongated heads portraying otherworldly visitors?
41:48And if so, could some of the strange skulls that have been unearthed around the world be of non-human
41:55origin?
41:56Perhaps scientists will soon discover that we've already come face-to-face with our alien ancestors.
42:04.
