Welcome back everyone to Most Amazing Top
10 - today were talking about ancient structures
from around the world that are so impressive,
some people doubt humans could even make them.
Could they have had help from outer space?
Ill let you be the judge, Im just gonna lay
out it out for you now - my name is Danny
Burke and this is the Top 10 Ancient Alien
Theories.
Starting off at number 10 we have The Pyramids
of Giza.
When you see the size of the pyramids in Egypt
and then you find out they are over 4 and
a half thousand years old - you cant help
but be impressed.
For some people though, they think its so
impressive its actually unbelievable that
they were built by the ancient Egyptians.
They say that there was no way they would
have been able to move the two ton stones
before the invention of the wheel.
They also say that the pyramids line up perfectly
with the stars and the sun.
During the summer solstice, from the view
of the Sphinx, the sun sets right between
the Great Pyramid and its neighbor.
Conspiracy theorists say that for the Egyptians
to be able to do this, they must have known
the day of the summer solstice and therefore
the exactly length of the year - a fact that
was no discovered until many years later.
Historians have an answer for everything but
theres questions for some people who believe
it may have been the work of aliens.
Moving on to number 9 now we have the Mow-eye
(Moai) - Im sure you guys recognise these
- huge stone figures, their bodies covered
in the years of mounding dirt.
They average 13ft tall and weigh some 14 tons.
They are found on Easter Island, in the middle
of the pacific ocean.
Historians say there were built over 1000
years ago by the Rapa Nui people who eventually
went extinct, possibly due to an environmental
disaster.
Of course, some people say there is no way
these people could have constructed them on
such a remote island and that aliens must
have been involved somehow.
At number 8 now we have Saksaywaman.
These massive citadel was first built in Peru
and became the capital of the Inca Empire.
The place is famous for its dry stone walls
made of massive stones - some weighing up
to 360 tons.
The stones themselves were taken from 22 miles
away.
Historians theories have proposed that they
were moved by hundreds of men using strong
ropes.
As with the massive stones used in Egypts
pyramids, Allien Theorists believe that there
was no way the Saksaywaman stones could have
been moved and place without intervention
from advanced beings …
Coming in at number 7 we have the Nazca Lines.
These are hundreds of lines in Perus Nazca
desert that cover some 170 square miles in
size.
They depict sharks, lizards, orcas, spiders,
monkeys and other animals.
They are said to have been created by the
Nazca culture in the 5th and 6th century but
some people say that there is no way people
back then could have had such precise measurements
to create these huge animals that are only
visible in their entirety from high above.
Conspiracy theorists believe that visitors
from space came to Earth and left large tracts
in the sand.
The Nazca people then drew the animal figures
in an attempt to call back the people they
saw as Gods.
Next up at number 6 we have The Face on Mars.
Were going to leave Earth momentarily for
this one and take a trip to our nearest planetary
neighbor.
In 1976, the Viking 1 orbiter took this famous
picture of the surface of mars.
Among the rocks and sands appears to be - a
face.
Right there.
Since day one, scientists have dismissed the
face as nothing more than a trick of the light
- an shadow angled just right so that was
see something familiar.
Conspiracy theorists say that, as you may
have guessed by now, this was built by an
advanced alien race who presumably have faces
like ours or at least based this artwork on
us.
In 2001, a NASA surveyor took a detailed picture
of the same spot and saw nothing - so, Im
not too sure about this one.
Moving on to number 5 now we have Waffle Rock.
This is a big lump of sandstone near Jennings
Randolph Lake in West Virginia.
For hundreds of years, this was referred to
as -Indian Rock- by the descendents of European
settlers.
Neither they nor the native Americans knew
where it came from though - it stood out against
everything around it.
In modern times, scientists have identified
it was a natural hematite grid pattern that
occurs on sandstone under the right conditions.
Some believe this rock is not of Earthly origin
and may have been brought here by aliens.
Next up at number 4 we have the Derinkuyu
Underground City.
In this giant underground city in Turkey there
is enough room to house 20,000 people with
with food a livestock.
It was built by the Phrygians about 2,700
years ago.
Its truly an impressive structure and engineers
have praised how well ventilated it is considering
it descends some 200ft underground.
For some conspiracy theorists though, the
level of engineering goes well beyond that
of this ancient people.
Did they recieve outside help?
And by outside I mean outside of Earth?
Some people certainly think so.
Coming in at number 3 we have The Trilithon
of Baalbek.
Located in Lebanon, this ruin has 3 stones
that are estimated to weigh over 750 tons.
The temple was built by the Romans just over
2000 years ago.
However, there is evidence that the 3 huge
stones may have been cut hundreds of years
before.
In addition to them, there is also a fourth
stone in the temple known as the stone of
the pregnant woman.
It is the largest stone ever cut by humans,
weighing an estimated 1,200 tons - equivalent
to 3 Boeing 747s.
Some people say there is no way the Romans
or an even more ancient people could have
done that and you guessed it - it must have
been aliens.
Moving on to number 2 we have Totee-wakan
(Teotihuacán).
This is an ancient city located in the valley
of Mexico.
Its thought to be one of the first cities
in the Western Hemisphere and certainly the
largest one before the early 15th century.
They used complex mathematics and astronomical
observations to construct huge pyramids such
as the pyramid of the moon and the pyramid
of the sun.
Ancient Alien theorist Erich Von Daniken believe
that the city was built by space aliens who
lived there before humans even existed.
He points to the pyramids alignment with Orions
belt.
He also talks about a mineral embedded in
the buildings called mica.
Its a silicate material only found 3,000 miles
away in Brazil.
Its known to be stable when exposed to electricity
- Erich believes this all adds up to electricity
using aliens in Mexico all those years ago.
And finally at number 1 we have Stonehenge.
Its perhaps one of the most famous structures
in the world and has fascinated people all
over the world.
The stone circle in England was built over
4000 years ago.
Its thought the ancient Neolithic people use
it was a religious site due to the burial
grounds nearby.
The standing stones are around 13ft high,
7ft wide and weigh around 25 tons.
Alien Theorists don't just think the stones
were carried there by advanced alien technology
- some of them go further and say that stonehenge
itself was a landing pad for an alien spaceship.
Kind of makes the other ones sound a bit more
reasonable does it?
I dunno, what do you guys think?
Alright, theres the info, what do you make
of it?
Personally, I believe the historians - I think
theres a lot of evidence that ancient cultures
were more than capable of creating the great
monuments weve talked about - its us that
needs to better understand how they did it
and not just say it was aliens.
Anyone with me?
Thanks for watching guys, my name is Danny
Burke and Ill see you all in the next video.
Time for some comments now if you care to
stick around.
Smol Mochi jimin says -I think a scary as
fuck room is a classroom or a hospital room
those always creep me out- … this was on
our scary rooms that should have stayed secret
video.
Are empty old classrooms or hospital rooms
scarier?
Im gonna say hospital rooms - hospitals can
be pretty scary normally so when theyre abandoned
its even weirder.
Classrooms are OK, I wouldnt say theyre creepy,
theyre kinda odd though - I remember feeling
really weird if I was ever in my classroom
after dark for a school event.
The munn-gallant bros says -youre the best
bro can I have a shout out plz- yes, of course
you can.
Heres your shout out right now.
Which one of the munn-gallant bros am I speaking
to?
I don't know why Im asking questions back,
this segment isnt really a conversation.
Next up Banana King Power says -wow mysterious
like my girl friend- … I love this one,
this is how you know you loved up with your
partner - you reference them out of the blue
in relation to a random top 10 video.
I guess thats sweet?
Its certainly mysterious.
Moving on now we have an interesting comment
from Marcelle Katri.
They had a lot to say about all of the different
stories we covered.
-Joshua's room sounds like an abused child
situation, and it's really sad to me.
The room they were making newspapers in though
is really cool, not scary at all once you
know the context.
The one with the workbench and gargoyle sounds
cool too.
The squatter ones though, those are really
freaky to me.
The one where they found the candy and dolls
though, that might be a homeless kid (going
off of the fact that there were the dolls).
Somehow, I still want to have a house with
as many secret rooms and passages as possible,
just for the fun of it.
Hopefully no one else will find it.﻿- … wow,
all very interesting thoughts.
I think I would also love a house with secret
passages.
When I was really little I used to built sofa
forts and then make secret passages that my
little brother didnt know how to get to.
That was kind of mean of me.
Joe, if youre watching this, Im sorry.
If we ever build another sofa fort, I promise
I wont do that.
Next up Ultra Boy says -Can you do top ten
Swedish urban legends- … I had to check
when this comment went up because amazingly,
we are actually doing this video - infact,
Ive already filmed it and it may already be
up - it may even be on this actual video - I
don't know!
But yeah, Swedish Urban Legends is coming
soon if its not already out - Im also thinking
of doing Norwegian and Danish but then I thought
of something that might be cooler - how about
Scary Viking Legends?
Does that sound good?
I mean, I love modern urban legends as much
as the next person but cmon - vikings are
badass.
Theyre already pretty scary too so youre not
gonna believe how scary their stories are
- also, you get to learn a bit of history
which is always fun!
