The UnXplained: Mysterious Gold Hat Controls Alien Communication (Season 2) | History

for thousands of years men have killed  for it entire cities were built in it and armies were formed to find it what is it  about the glittering substance known as gold   that has made it the most coveted of all  metals in ancient times it was considered   so precious it was called the flesh of the gods  today we use gold for everything from currency   to space travel to electronics but beyond its mere  commercial value could gold have a special power   something that draws us to it and compels us  to hold it own it even wear it on our bodies well that is what we'll try and find out berlin germany 1996. the museum of prehistory and  early history acquires a glittering artifact from   an anonymous swiss collector a tall cone-shaped  hat crafted from a thin sheet of gold and   embellished with dozens of sun and moon symbols  it is one of four that have been unearthed at   various sites throughout europe and is believed  by historians to date back as far as 1000 bc what is so important about them is that they  indicate that there was a common culture   the images on them represent astronomy the  study of the stars they also have complicated   mathematical implications suggesting a level of  philosophical development that's very advanced   for what we thought was available at that  time german researchers carefully studied   the symbols on the golden head and concluded  they represent a complex mathematical table   one that can accurately calculate the  long-term cycles of the sun and the moon   but how could ancient people have been able  to make such advanced and highly sophisticated   astronomical predictions and why was it so  important that they construct this incredible hat   out of gold the suggestion is that they belong to  what might be referred to as oracles people that   could fall into an altered state and prophesize  could come up with statements relating to   the future or other worldly situations there's  also this idea that certain metals resonate or   vibrate at certain resonant frequencies so if you  wear a lot of gold it gets you connected to the   broader energy fields that we all live  in and move through on a regular basis   so the golden hats are kind of interesting because  if gold is something that actually enhances your   connection with energies then the wearing of a  golden hat especially in a conical shape would   tend to amplify the signal that you were getting  from on high ancient oracles using golden hats to   receive esoteric knowledge about the universe  while this may seem like a far-fetched notion   it is just one of many instances in which  ancient cultures believe that gold adornments   held a special power within them and could  bestow that power upon those who possessed   these gold ornaments throughout history people  have adorned themselves with gold because it   symbolizes power wealth beauty but ultimately gold  is considered a very good conductor of electricity   gold is one of the best conductors  there is the other thing that's very   important about it is that gold is an inert  material it doesn't react with anything   and since there's no corrosion electrical contacts  can remain clean and good when you really want the   best electrical connectivity we always buy our  gold-coated connectors it's incredibly easy to   work with you can make it very thin gold leafing  is something we're very familiar with and you   don't need a lot of gold to get good conductive  properties so it's possible that when you're   wearing gold that you are able to better conduct  electricity it might possess amazing powers   if you think that the belief in gold objects  having some sort of intrinsic power is the quaint   notion of a bygone era well you'd be wrong after  all we still reward our nation's highest athletic   achievements with gold medals gold jewelry  is still more desirable than that of silver   or platinum and monarchs still wear gold crowns  on their heads these are very ancient symbols   of power and this set off the great scramble for  gold the great search the lust the desire to have   gold that's what installed gold as something that  was central to our whole culture and way of life you
