00:00:02 WILLIAM SHATNER: A massive golden boulder,

00:02:20 and they have attracted a huge amount of interest

00:04:05 upon which it was built... An ancient stone platform

00:05:47 It's a mind-boggling feat that seems to defy explanation.

00:07:29 So, maybe they used the bigger stones

00:09:07 It's an extraordinary theory.
