Ep 5. Secrets of the Mummies

In Ancient Aliens season 9 episode 5, titled "Secrets of the Mummies," the show delves into the mystery of ancient Egyptian mummies and the belief that extraterrestrial beings may have been involved in their creation. The episode begins by examining the complex and elaborate process of mummification, which involved removing the organs, covering the body with natron (a salt mixture), and wrapping it in linen. The show suggests that this process may have been too advanced for the ancient Egyptians to have developed on their own and could have been influenced by aliens.

The episode goes on to explore the various artifacts and hieroglyphics found in Egyptian tombs that suggest a connection to extraterrestrial beings. For instance, it highlights the discovery of a sarcophagus lid in the tomb of King Tutankhamen that depicts a person inside a spacecraft. The show also presents the theory that the ancient Egyptians were in contact with beings from other worlds, who taught them advanced technology and helped them build the pyramids.

One of the main focuses of the episode is the tomb of Pharaoh Seti I, which contains numerous intricate and detailed hieroglyphics. Ancient Aliens argues that many of these images depict advanced technology, such as helicopters and submarines, which were not invented until millennia later. The show theorizes that the ancient Egyptians may have been given this knowledge by extraterrestrial beings who visited them.

The episode also investigates the insights that could be gained from analyzing mummies, including the possibility of genetic manipulation. The show suggests that ancient astronauts may have altered human DNA to create superhumans who were better suited for performing the tasks required to build the pyramids. It also speculates that the elongated skulls of some mummies could be evidence of genetic experimentation.

Throughout the episode, Ancient Aliens presents the idea that the ancient Egyptians had contact with advanced beings from other worlds who helped them build their civilization. It also argues that the knowledge and technology used in creating mummies and building the pyramids were beyond the capabilities of the ancient Egyptians on their own. The show suggests that ancient astronauts played a critical role in shaping human history and that the evidence can be found in the mysterious world of the mummies.
