NARRATOR: The sun temple at Abu Gorab, Memphis, Egypt.
In 1898, an excavation team with the Berlin Museum
discovered the base of a massive obelisk, estimated to have once
stood at over 160 feet tall.
According to the ancient Egyptian building
texts from Edfu, Abu Gorab was known as the Place of the Gods.
Egyptologists know it as a place where the ancients
connected with divine energies.
It is said that this is the very place where pharaohs
and priests experienced heightened awareness
through the use of vibrations transmitted
through the obelisk.
NARRATOR: While scholars believe Abu Gorab was home to one
of the largest obelisks ever constructed,
similar shaped monoliths have been
found in hundreds of variations all over the world.
Unsuitable for shelter, storage, or a higher vantage point,
could obelisks have served another, more powerful purpose?
A vast number of obelisks are constructed from granite,
a stone containing high concentrations of energy
responsive quartz crystal.
Because of its crystalline structure,
quartz has the ability to convert the Earth's
natural electrical vibrations into usable energy
by a property known as piezoelectricity.
The piezo is for the vibrating or oscillating,
and the electric is for electric.
What this means is that you can use electricity to make
them vibrate mechanically.
And when they vibrate mechanically,
they can generate electricity.
NARRATOR: Is it possible the ancient cultures that erected
obelisks had some understanding of the high-tech properties
of quartz?
And if so, could they have used obelisks to transmit
energy over vast distances?
Ancient astronaut theorists believe the answer is yes,
and that evidence can be found by studying
the work of Nikola Tesla.
In July, 1899, the famed scientist
claimed to have invented a way to transmit electricity
through the air, wirelessly, all over the world,
by harnessing the Earth's natural conductivity,
or what Tesla called standing waves.
Giant transmitters could send and receive
limitless amounts of electricity flowing like invisible water.
And one of the key components in his system was quartz crystal.
Typically when we deal with the energy
of electromagnetic waves, it's in what
we call a propagating form.
It's like the flashlight, you turn it on, and it moves.
It propagates through space and goes from one place to another.
A standing wave is kind of a different phenomena
because the wave just oscillates in one place up and down.
And the energy goes in between two different regions
back and forth.
Tesla was proposing and tried to build
this system of wireless power.
He built the Wardenclyffe Tower on Long Island in New York.
Tesla was going to then hook this tower up to a power plant,
and he was going to broadcast electricity.
According to him, anti-gravity airships would
draw power from these towers.
Ships, cars, and other power plants
could also draw from this broadcast power.
NARRATOR: Was Tesla's technological breakthrough
a modern scientific innovation?
Or could it have been a rediscovery
of a lost alien technology?
Some researchers believe that, like Tesla, ancient builders
discovered the ability to harness
and broadcast Earth's Power.
And the ancient equivalent to Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower
may have been the Great Pyramid.
The walls of this massive monument
contain a high concentration of quartz crystal.
And some believe the Great Pyramid, in conjunction
with the obelisks, made up what may have been a global wireless
energy network.
CHRISTOPHER DUNN: The pyramids were
actually geomechanical devices.
In other words, they were attached to the Earth.
They were turned to vibrate with the frequencies of the Earth.
And they converted the energies of the Earth
into electromagnetic energy.
It's possible that inside of some pyramids there might be
some sort of energy, let's say some sort of equipment
which creates waves.
So I could imagine that some of the real gods,
the extraterrestrials, some thousands of years
ago, they left some little technology inside the pyramid.
And this technology was very super modern and powerful.
