Many ancient civilizations recount stories of gateways to other realms and paths to star systems where their 'creators' are said to reside. While conventional belief often dismisses these as mere myths, recently declassified FBI documents have suggested that Earth may have been visited by beings from different dimensions and planets. NASA has even confirmed that 'portals' seem to exist within Earth's magnetic field, prompting some to wonder if the ancient legends of stargates, portals, and wormholes might hold a kernel of truth.
10. Gate of the Gods, Hayu Marca, Peru
In 1996, while exploring the area for a new job as a tour guide, Jose Luis Delgado Mamani stumbled upon the 'Gate of the Gods' at Hayu Marca in Peru. Native tribes have long claimed this spot served as a 'gateway to the land of the Gods.' Mamani even shared that he had dreamt about the entrance for years before accidentally discovering it. According to him, the path leading to the gateway was paved with pink marble, and in his vision, a smaller door stood open, emitting a 'brilliant blue light' from what appeared to be a shimmering tunnel.
The 'gateway' is actually composed of two doorways arranged in a 'T' shape. The larger of the two measures seven meters wide and seven meters high (22 feet by 22 feet), while the smaller one stands at two meters high (6.5 feet) in the middle of the base. Legend has it that the larger door is reserved for the gods themselves, while the smaller door is meant for mortals to pass through—some of whom, according to the stories, became immortal and lived among the gods.
One tale of a mortal crossing through the gateway seems to add some weight to Mamani’s purported dream. According to the story, when Spanish conquistadors arrived in Peru during the 16th century, looting Inca treasures along the way, an Incan priest named Amaru Maru escaped his temple with a priceless golden disk—'The Key of the Gods of the Seven Rays.' Upon finding the doorway, he encountered Shaman priests guarding it. He presented the golden disk to them, and after a ritual conducted by the priests, the smaller doorway opened. Behind it lay a tunnel glowing with intense blue light. Amaru Maru stepped through, left the disk with the Shaman priests, and disappeared from Earth, journeying to the land of the gods.
Intriguingly, investigators found a small, round indentation in the right-hand column of the smaller doorway's rock. Their examination suggested that if a disk-shaped object were 'inserted' into the indentation, it would fit securely, held in place by the surrounding stone.
9. Abu Ghurab, Egypt, The Place of the Gods
The Abu Sir Pyramids, located at the Abu Ghurab site, are claimed to be among the oldest locations on Earth. Within Abu Ghurab lies an ancient platform crafted from alabaster (Egyptian crystal), believed to resonate with the 'vibration' of the Earth. It is said to have the power to 'open the senses,' enabling a person to communicate and merge with the higher, sacred energies of the Universe. Essentially, this platform functions as a stargate, and the sacred energies are associated with the Neters (gods).
Interestingly, the legends of their communication and means of travel between their world and ours closely resemble those of the Cherokee Native Americans. The Cherokee speak of 'thought beings'—formless entities—who would travel on a 'wave of sound' from their home in the Pleiades Star System to Earth.
In addition to the lore of Abu Ghurab being a stargate, there are also indications that advanced technology may have been used in the creation of the site. One example is the impeccably precise circular markings drilled into the alabaster.
8. Ancient Stone Formation in Lake Michigan
In 2007, while searching for shipwreck remains, scientists uncovered a stone structure 12 meters (40 feet) beneath the surface of Lake Michigan. Estimated to be 9,000 years old, the structure has been dubbed Michigan’s equivalent of Stonehenge. The discovery was made by Mark Holley, a professor of underwater archaeology at Northwestern Michigan University, along with his colleague Brian Abbott. A notable feature of the find was a carving of a mastodon on one of the stones—an animal thought to have gone extinct 10,000 years ago, suggesting the structure's ancient age.
The exact location of the site remains confidential, at least for now. This is part of an agreement with local Native American tribes who want to keep visitor numbers low. While many mainstream scientists are doubtful about the site's age and its significance, numerous others believe it could be the remnants of a stargate or wormhole. The area has also been linked to several strange disappearances and has earned the ominous title of 'The Michigan Triangle.'
In 1891, the schooner Thomas Hume mysteriously vanished along with its entire crew of seven while sailing on Lake Michigan. In 1921, the 11 people aboard the Rosa Belle also disappeared without a trace, though their boat was later found floating aimlessly in the water. In 1937, Captain Donner of the O.M. McFarland retired to his quarters after a long shift on deck. Three hours later, when the second mate went to check on him, the captain's door was locked from the inside. After receiving no response, the second mate broke down the door, only to find the room empty with all windows securely shut. Captain Donner had simply vanished without a trace.
7. Stonehenge, Wiltshire, England
One of the most famous landmarks on Earth, at least by name, is the ancient rock formation known as Stonehenge. It is also one of the most debated and controversial sites in history, with much disagreement over when it was built and what its true purpose might have been. Mainstream historians believe that the iconic arrangement dates back around 5,000 years, partly constructed from bluestones that were transported from a site 386 kilometers (240 miles) away. However, many others find this theory utterly implausible.
Geologist Brian John argues that there is no evidence to support the claim and no proof that the supposed quarry ever existed. It is said that when the first settlements began in the area 5,000 years ago, Stonehenge was already in place and fully constructed. The ancient site is believed to sit at the convergence of 14 ley lines, and some theorize, alongside other similar ancient sites, that this makes it a kind of energy portal or stargate.
At least one incident in modern history may lend some credibility to this seemingly bizarre theory. In August 1971, a group of hippies reportedly vanished at Stonehenge while attempting to tap into the site's 'vibrations.' Around 2 o'clock in the morning, without any warning, lightning struck, and a violent storm broke over the area. A policeman who was on duty nearby recalled seeing a 'blue light' emanating from the stones, a sight also confirmed by a local farmer. Screams were heard coming from the area. When the officer reached the site, all that remained were a few stray tent pegs from the campers' tents and the damp remnants of a campfire.
6. The Ancient Sumerian Stargate at the Euphrates River
A famous Sumerian seal depicts a Sumerian god emerging from a portal of his world into ours. The god is shown on a staircase that seems to be receding from the viewer. On each side of the god, there are strange shimmering columns of water. Another Sumerian artifact thought to depict evidence of stargates is that of Ninurta. Ninurta not only appears to be wearing what looks like a modern wristwatch, but he is also using his finger to press what seems to be a button on the wall of the gateway he is standing in.
Author Elizabeth Vegh has written several books about the ancient Sumerian gods and kings, and their purported use of stargates in ancient times. One of her main conclusions is that a stargate lies within the Euphrates River, buried under the ruins of the Mesopotamian city of Eridu for thousands of years. Vegh also suggests that a verse in Chapter 9 of the Book of Revelations refers to this stargate. The verse states, '(1) Then the fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to earth, and it was given the key to the pit of the abyss. (2) The star opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke rose out of it like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the pit. (3) And out of the smoke, locusts descended on the earth ...'
While most scholars would interpret the term 'abyss' as referring to a large body of water, Vegh argues that, as it is used in ancient texts, the meaning is likely closer to that of a portal.
5. Tiahuanaco, Bolivia, 'Gate of the Sun'
Some believe that the 'Gate of the Sun' in Bolivia is a portal to the land of the gods, with its legends closely resembling those of other sites in the Andes. Tiahuanaco is considered one of the most significant ancient sites in America, with tales stating that the Sun god, Viracocha, appeared there and transformed it into 'the place of creation'—the origin point for the human race.
Carved from a single block of stone and thought to be 14,000 years old, the gateway depicts what seem to be human figures wearing 'rectangular helmets.' Many researchers argue that the gate's purpose is linked to astronomical events, though this theory remains a subject of fierce debate. At the top-center of the arch, there is an engraving of the supposed sun god, with rays of light emerging from behind his head, enveloping him on all sides.
Though the arch now stands upright, it was discovered by European explorers in the mid-1800s lying horizontally. A large crack can be seen on the top-right side of the arch, but how it came to be is still unknown.
4. Ranmasu Uyana Stargate, Sri Lanka
Carved into a massive stone wall and mostly concealed among the boulders and cave systems of Ranmasu Uyana, lies what is thought to be a star map or star chart. The symbols etched into the rock are believed to be a code that activates the star gate, granting access to travel from this world to distant realms across the universe. Directly across from the star map, four stone seats or chairs are positioned.
The star chart is known as Sakwala Chakraya, which is believed to translate to 'The rotating circle of the Universe.' In Sinhala, 'Sakwala' means universe, and 'Chakraya' refers to a rotating circle or disc.
In numerous ancient Native American myths, stargates or portals are symbolized by rotating circles. Similar star maps have been discovered at other ancient sites thought to be stargates, such as Abu Ghurab in Egypt and various locations in the Andes of South America. Despite this, mainstream historians dismiss the idea that the Sakwala Chakraya is a portal or stargate.
3. Sedona Vortexes And The 'Doorway of the Gods'
Sedona, a small town in Arizona, was once known to the Native American tribes as Nawanda and was considered a highly sacred city. The Red Rocks of the surrounding desert are said to possess the power to create vortexes that can transport individuals to another realm or dimension. Native Americans believed these rocks were spiritually charged, with reports of strange sounds emanating from them. In the mountains of Arizona, there is said to be a ‘Doorway of the Gods’—a mysterious stone arch portal to another time and space.
In the 1950s, a local tribesman was assisting treasure hunters in their search for gold in the mountains. He shared a story passed down from his people, dating back to the 1800s, about three tribesmen who had discovered the archway while traveling through the desert. According to the tale, when one of them walked through the arch, he vanished without a trace. The other two, fearing they had trespassed on sacred land, fled the area.
The tribesman also recounted a strange event he witnessed at the doorway. While out in the desert, a sudden rainstorm engulfed the area, turning the skies grey with clouds. As he turned to leave, he noticed that the skies through the arch were clear blue. Upon approaching it, he saw that the view of the mountain range was identical, with the only difference being the sky. Fearful, he mounted his horse and hurried back home.
He told the treasure hunters that only his people knew the story. He had shared it with them out of kindness, offering a warning to avoid walking through the archway if they encountered it.

2. Gobekli Tepe, Turkey
Considered the oldest known stone temple on Earth, the Gobekli Tepe site features several rings of massive ‘T’-shaped stone pillars, each adorned with carvings of animals such as lions or sheep. At the center of these rings, two pillars stand, forming a near-archway. These circular formations are thought to be the remnants of portals or stargates, believed to have been used by the ancient inhabitants as gateways to the 'sky world.'
The ‘T’-shaped columns bear a striking resemblance to the ‘Gate of the Gods’ in Hayu Marca, Peru. Interestingly, the Inca people mentioned a connection with the Pleiades star system, which also shares the T-shape. Like many supposed portals, Gobekli Tepe is located at the convergence of two ley lines. Though the site was documented as early as the 1960s, it wasn't until the mid-90s that the T-shaped pillars were uncovered. Its true age is estimated to be around 12,000 years.
1. Abydos, Egypt
One of Egypt's oldest cities, Abydos is considered a crucial site in Egyptology and one of its most fascinating. The Temple of Seti I, in particular, is said to feature hieroglyphs that depict what appear to be modern flying machines, such as helicopters, as well as what some believe to be representations of a flying saucer.
Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the site’s discovery lies in the story of Dorothy Eady, who claimed to be the reincarnation of an Egyptian peasant girl named Bentreshyt, the secret lover of Pharaoh Seti. According to her, she had become pregnant with Seti's child, but took her life before he could learn of it. In the 20th century, Dorothy was said to have been able to transcribe ancient Egyptian texts and even predicted where archaeologists should dig to uncover the remains of the lost city. She seemed to have knowledge of hidden chambers and buried gardens. By the time they discovered what she had foretold, many believed she was truly genuine.
Strangely, witnesses reported Dorothy pressing certain stones in the walls, almost as if she was expecting something to happen when she did so, as though trying to unlock a secret door or gateway. In fact, she had spoken of these hidden doors that once existed. In 2003, military aerospace engineer Michael Schratt claimed that Abydos rested atop a naturally occurring stargate, and controversially, he suggested that the US government was aware of this and had even used it.
Could this be what Eady was searching for when she pressed on those stones? Aside from the curious helicopter hieroglyphs, some have pointed out the resemblance between Egyptian depictions of boats said to transport souls to the next world and modern scientific illustrations of a wormhole, or at least the concept of one.
