Ancient Aliens Season 6 Episodes 9-10 Recaps: Forbidden Islands & The Lost Ark


Nan Madol

I definitely enjoyed both of these episodes. They had new information that I had not heard previously.



Map of structures at Nan Madol

In "Aliens and Forbidden Islands" a great deal of time was spent on Nan Midol (which is a series of 90 something man made islands in Micronesia that is considered a National Historic Site). Very heavy stones were used to create these islands and no one knows how this was accomplished. One hypothesis has been "auditive levitation" which means uses sound frequencies to move large objects. Per Wikipedia, according to Pohnpeian legend, Nan Madol was constructed by twin sorcerers Olisihpa and Olosohpa from the mythical Western Katau, or Kanamwayso. The brothers arrived in a large canoe seeking a place to build an altar so that they could worship Nahnisohn Sahpw, the god of agriculture. In legend, these brothers levitated the huge stones with the aid of a flying dragon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nan_Madol The islanders considered Nan Midol to be haunted. It was know as the "City of Ghosts". Anyone who visited there was supposed to meet an untimely death.


Ark of the Covenant

In "Aliens and The Lost Ark" the team explorers the possible origins of the Ark of the Covenant. The Ark of the Covenant was created by Moses per God's specifications. It contained several items: the Ten Commandments, Aaron's staff (which turned into a serpent) and some manna. Was the Ark really some sort of nuclear powered energy and communication source? A number of suggestions point to this.

No one was allowed to look at the Ark or touch it or they would die. Those that took care of the Ark (Moses, Aaron and their descendants) had to wear special clothing. The Breastplate of Judgment contained 12 precious stones. The gemstones supposedly played an important role in communicating with God via the Ark. Each priest also had to have a rope tied around his leg. That way if he died, he could be pulled out (since no one could rescue him or they too would be killed).

Some have theorized that the Ark is a capacitor (with the two cherubs being transmitters and the gold plating on the box being a conductor). God apparently appeared between the two angels in what was known as the "mercy seat". This might have in fact been electrical energy or something else that they were not familiar with.

The Ark disappears from the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem after the Babylonia invasion in 586 BC. Where did it go? Different hypotheses are presented including Japan and Ethiopia. I had heard of the speculation about Ethiopia previously. There are a number of Jews there (indicating someone immigrated years ago). The priests who supposedly guard the Ark are sworn to secrecy. Anyone guarding the relic has a very short lifespan. One was suffering from several cataracts and said the Ark had caused them.

Overviews from the H2 channel: 

Aliens and Forbidden Islands

Premiere Date: November 29, 2013 - 10:00-11:00PM ET
Legends of lost and mysterious islands, advanced civilizations and Eden-like paradises have been told by sailors throughout human history. Is it possible these stories are more than just the myths of imaginative seafarers? Might evidence of our Ancient Alien origins be found by exploring the world's most remote islands–strategic spots where extraterrestrials may have once made their earthly homes… and possibly still visit today? Unidentified submersible objects going at lightning speed… strange crafts coming out of water near remote volcanic islands… and mystifying megalithic ruins in the middle of the ocean. Is it possible UFO activity could be hidden deep underwater and off the coasts of islands? Could this explain why so many islands around the world have stories of unexplained sightings of objects both overhead and beneath the sea going back centuries?

 

 

Aliens and The Lost Ark

Premiere Date: December 06, 2013 - 10:00-11:00PM ET
The Ark of the Covenant is one of the most sought after religious relics of all times and far more than just a box that contained the Ten Commandments. The biblical stories surrounding the Ark speak of a device with divine powers that was able to produce food, take down stonewalls, kill those that come in contact with it, and provide direct communication to God. Are these stories mere myth? Or did the Ark of the Covenant possess extraordinary powers? What happened to this incredible relic? Could it still be hidden? Are we getting close to a rediscovery–and reactivation–of the Ark? 

Grade: 4 Monsters (out of 5). Only one more episode listed this season that I know of. It will air on 12/13.
