This is it, Giorgio, one of the many Benben stones, or pyramidions inside the museum. Look at it. It's absolutely magnificent.
And it's perfect. Absolutely. I mean, if you look at it, there's not a single mistake anywhere-- just wonderful.
I'm familiar with the stories of the Benben, and I'm fascinated that sometimes it was described as this shape descending from the sky with a lot of smoke and a lot of fire. And then a door opened, and people walked out. So to me, as a mythology, that is fascinating, because where did that story originate?
Yeah. NARRATOR: According to mainstream Egyptologists, the story of the Benben stone is part of a religious allegory conceived by ancient Egyptians to explain how humankind was created. But according to ancient astronaut theorists, the stone is based on an actual historical event, one that predates the building of the Great Pyramid by thousands of years.
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: So when I hear a story like the Benben stone, I wonder if this may have been some type of a craft. Egyptologists agree that this type of a shape descended from the sky in a giant fireball, made a controlled landing. The Benben stone opened, and people walked out, the first creator gods.
In my opinion, I think these gods were flesh and blood space travelers whom the ancient Egyptians, and many other ancient cultures, misinterpreted as divine or spiritual beings because of their technological frame of reference of their current time. This ties in directly with the idea of misunderstood technology. When a technologically primitive society interacts with a technologically advanced society, the primitive society begins to worship the advanced society.
I've once read that a Benben stone can also be considered the home of the gods. Yes. From my perspective, then, that would be proof of extraterrestrial intervention.
Right here, this is a physical piece of evidence that a long time ago, someone descended from the sky and taught mankind in various disciplines.
