Throughout history, prophets and visionaries have claimed to be able to telepathically access knowledge and information that would ultimately steer the course of human history. But if true, where do these individuals get their visions? According to ancient mythologies, there is a universal repository of knowledge known as the Akashic Record. While most mainstream scholars relegate this to the realm of mythology, recent scientific discoveries have opened the possibility that such a repository could actually exist--and is accessible by the human mind. Giorgio A. Tsoukalos meets with neuroscientist Dr. Dario Nardi to measure the brainwaves of Dr. Deepak Chopra as he enters a state of deep meditation to observe the physical chnges in the brain as he connects or taps into something beyond ourselves. Could our ability to tap into the Akashic Record lead to the next giant leap in human evolution--and connect us to other intelligent beings throughout the cosmos?

For this week's challenge the competitors create their signature blade by using the Hada technique--a traditional process that involves forging multiple layers of steel together. The pressure mounts as one of the smiths is pushed to his absolute breaking point. In the final round, two competitors go head to head to create one of the series' most unusual weapons.

Many of the architectural marvels of the ancient world bear striking similarities to one another, even though they were built by civilizations that were separated by thousands of miles and are believed to have had no contact with one another. Separated by more than 7500 miles, the Giza pyramid complex in Giza, Egypt and the Avenue of the Dead in Teotihuacan, Mexico contain pyramids that are aligned with the constellation of Orion's belt. An ancient pyramid temple in Cambodia known as Baksei Chamkrong is an almost identical match for the Temple of the Jaguar in Guatemala. Many structures built using stone slabs that weighed over a hundred tons. But how did primitive people achieve such extraordinary feats? And why do we see such similarities? Could these sites have all been designed by alien architects?

A set of royal British armor has Rick suiting up to strike a bargain. Chumlee's purchase of a U.S. Open custom electric guitar gets no love from Rick. Will Chum be able to net a profit before Rick reaches his break point? Signatures and a movie script from famed comedy duo Abbott & Costello inspire Corey and Chum to reenact a hilarious scene from the film, but the amount of money this seller is asking for is no laughing matter. A seller with an antique coin-operated scale throws his weight around during negotiations. Can Rick get him to lighten up enough to make a deal?

A set of illustrations from Disney's "Sleeping Beauty" prompt Chum to make a sketchy deal that draws lots of attention. Flashy door handles from one of Las Vegas' first casinos has Rick feeling like he won the jackpot. Handwritten memoirs from a member of Bonnie & Clyde's gang are so unique it's criminal. Are they a steal, or is this seller committing highway robbery? An original version of The Game of Life leaves Rick and Corey anything but board. Rick hits the mother lode when a device used for gold mining strikes up an interesting prospect, but this pan might be too much for him to handle.

Erich von D niken's Chariots of the Gods? challenged everything we thought we knew about mankind's history, suggesting that aliens visited Earth in the distant past. Fifty years after the book's publication, is he about to be proven right?
