1
00:00:02,376 --> 00:00:06,179
For centuries mankind
believed that life only

2
00:00:06,213 --> 00:00:11,851
existed here on Earth, but today
many scientists agree that we

3
00:00:11,919 --> 00:00:13,720
are not alone.

4
00:00:13,754 --> 00:00:16,990
Practically every human
civilization that

5
00:00:17,024 --> 00:00:24,164
has ever existed tells us we
are not alone in the cosmos.

6
00:00:24,165 --> 00:00:28,501
A long, long time ago,
extraterrestrials

7
00:00:28,536 --> 00:00:34,374
came here, and through a
targeted mutation of our genes,

8
00:00:34,441 --> 00:00:35,708
we became human.

9
00:00:35,776 --> 00:00:40,647
We have, in theory, a
worldwide civilization

10
00:00:40,681 --> 00:00:45,985
that has extraterrestrials
interacting with it, and human

11
00:00:46,020 --> 00:00:50,623
beings, as we are today, who are
possibly the genetic breeding of

12
00:00:50,658 --> 00:00:51,824
these aliens.

13
00:00:51,859 --> 00:00:57,830
If we're being visited, they've
probably always been here.

14
00:00:57,898 --> 00:01:01,701
Millions of people around
the world believe we have

15
00:01:01,735 --> 00:01:06,005
been visited in the past by
extraterrestrial beings.

16
00:01:06,073 --> 00:01:08,641
But what if it were true?

17
00:01:08,709 --> 00:01:13,012
Did ancient aliens really
help to shape our history?

18
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:17,383
And if so, why did they come here?

19
00:01:17,451 --> 00:01:21,087
And just what was their mission?

20

00:01:57,057 --> 00:02:04,864
On July 20, 1969, the Apollo 11
mission reached its destination,

22
00:02:04,932 --> 00:02:10,036
and two men-- Neil Armstrong and
Buzz Aldrin-- actually walked on

23
00:02:10,104 --> 00:02:11,571
the moon.

24
00:02:11,605 --> 00:02:14,040
They've got the flag up now,
and you can see the Stars and

25
00:02:14,108 --> 00:02:16,409
Stripes on the lunar surface.

26
00:02:16,443 --> 00:02:17,744
Beautiful, just beautiful.

27
00:02:17,778 --> 00:02:21,147
It was the first time in
history that beings left

28
00:02:21,215 --> 00:02:25,518
their home and traveled through
space to an alien planet.

29
00:02:25,552 --> 00:02:27,754
Or was it?

30
00:02:27,788 --> 00:02:30,590
Were we really the first
creatures in the universe

31
00:02:30,624 --> 00:02:34,294
capable of traveling to another world?

32
00:02:36,797 --> 00:02:40,767
Given the vastness of the
universe and the billions of

33
00:02:40,801 --> 00:02:46,172
years that it took to create our
galaxy, is it so hard to imagine

34
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:51,244
that such a thing might have
happened before, perhaps

35
00:02:51,312 --> 00:02:56,649
thousands of times and over the
course of millions of years?

36
00:02:56,650 --> 00:03:04,257
The ancient alien astronaut theory
presupposes that thousands and

37
00:03:04,325 --> 00:03:09,062
thousands of years ago-- even
before recorded history-- Earth

38
00:03:09,096 --> 00:03:13,232
was visited by astronauts
from another world.

39
00:03:13,233 --> 00:03:19,939
But if alien beings did, in
fact, travel to Earth, why?

40
00:03:19,973 --> 00:03:29,615
Did they come to explore, to plunder,
to study, to hunt, or to breed?

41
00:03:29,683 --> 00:03:32,151
When Armstrong and Aldrin
explored their incredible

42
00:03:32,186 --> 00:03:36,322
surroundings, they found the
moon a barren landscape.

43
00:03:36,390 --> 00:03:40,493
It seemed to offer little more
than a lifeless oasis of rocks

44
00:03:40,527 --> 00:03:44,530
and dust.

45
00:03:44,598 --> 00:03:49,302
But in 1986, further testing
determined that the lunar

46
00:03:49,336 --> 00:03:54,407
landscape actually contains a
high amount of helium-3, an

47
00:03:54,441 --> 00:04:00,413
extremely powerful nonpolluting,
nonradioactive fuel source.

48
00:04:02,116 --> 00:04:05,518
Experts estimate that a single
space shuttle filled with this

49
00:04:05,552 --> 00:04:08,888
material could satisfy all the
energy needs in the United

50
00:04:08,956 --> 00:04:12,425
States for an entire year.

51
00:04:14,194 --> 00:04:16,162
Think of it.

52
00:04:16,196 --> 00:04:20,600
Armadas of spaceships mining
the moon and other planets for

53
00:04:20,634 --> 00:04:23,002
natural resources.

54
00:04:23,070 --> 00:04:26,172
Could this help explain why
Earth might have served as a

55
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,242
destination for travelers
from other worlds?

56
00:04:29,276 --> 00:04:33,413
We'd go out there with
robot mining crews and

57
00:04:33,447 --> 00:04:38,885
eventually human mining crews, mine
those planets, extract the ore.

58
00:04:38,919 --> 00:04:42,355
Ships would come; they'd take
the ore and bring them back.

59
00:04:42,389 --> 00:04:48,461
Well, if we would do it, why
wouldn't extraterrestrials?

60
00:04:48,495 --> 00:04:52,298
But if alien excavators
did come to Earth--

61
00:04:52,332 --> 00:04:57,870
perhaps thousands of years ago--
wouldn't there be evidence?

62
00:05:00,007 --> 00:05:04,310
Here, in what is now known as
Iraq, lies what is commonly

63
00:05:04,344 --> 00:05:08,147
regarded by historians and
archaeologists as the "cradle of

64
00:05:08,215 --> 00:05:09,882
civilization."

65
00:05:09,950 --> 00:05:15,755
Between 3500 and 1900 BC, the
fertile area between the Tigris

66
00:05:15,789 --> 00:05:19,492
and Euphrates Rivers was the
home of the Sumerian people.

67
00:05:19,493 --> 00:05:22,662
The Sumeriyns were one of
the first cultures that

68
00:05:22,696 --> 00:05:28,401
built actual cities with streets
and a street grid, almost like

69
00:05:28,435 --> 00:05:32,004
New York City, where you have,
you know, a square street grid.

70
00:05:32,005 --> 00:05:35,908
They invented cobblestones.

71
00:05:35,943 --> 00:05:38,945
They had a sewage system.

72
00:05:38,979 --> 00:05:43,483
They were taught in agriculture.

73
00:05:43,517 --> 00:05:46,919
The Sumerians also invented
the first known writing

74
00:05:46,954 --> 00:05:51,591
system by using cuneiform
script on clay tablets.

75
00:05:51,625 --> 00:05:55,328
In the 19th century,
archaeologists exploring the

76
00:05:55,395 --> 00:06:01,100
ancient ruins of Nineveh discovered
22,000 of these clay tablets.

77
00:06:01,134 --> 00:06:05,104
When they were later translated,
the texts described many stories

78
00:06:05,172 --> 00:06:08,741
similar to those found in
the Judeo-Christian Bible.

79
00:06:08,742 --> 00:06:12,745
Virtually every story
that's in Genesis--

80
00:06:12,813 --> 00:06:16,115
the flood story, the Adam and
Eve story-- they all have

81
00:06:16,149 --> 00:06:19,919
precedence with the ancient Sumerians.

82
00:06:22,222 --> 00:06:26,759
In 1976 author Zecharia
Sitchin published his

83
00:06:26,827 --> 00:06:30,296
own translations of the Sumerian
texts in a series of books

84
00:06:30,330 --> 00:06:33,666
<i>called The Earth Chronicles.</i>

85
00:06:33,700 --> 00:06:35,668
<i>According to Sitchin, the clay</i>

86
00:06:35,702 --> 00:06:38,004
<i>tablets describe an alien race</i>

87
00:06:38,038 --> 00:06:40,106
<i>known as the Anunnaki who came</i>

88
00:06:40,173 --> 00:06:44,176
<i>to Earth to mine gold.</i>

89
00:06:44,211 --> 00:06:45,411
<i>Zecharia Sitchin</i>

90
00:06:45,479 --> 00:06:47,213
<i>has essentially suggested that</i>

91
00:06:47,247 --> 00:06:49,015
<i>the reason why we were visited</i>

92
00:06:49,049 --> 00:06:52,018
<i>in the remote past is because</i>

93
00:06:52,052 --> 00:06:53,319
<i>the ancient astronauts' home</i>

94
00:06:53,387 --> 00:06:56,455
<i>planet needed gold for their</i>

95
00:06:56,490 --> 00:06:58,291
<i>atmosphere and that their gold</i>

96
00:06:58,325 --> 00:07:01,694
<i>content in the atmosphere was</i>

97
00:07:01,762 --> 00:07:05,398
<i>depleting, so they came to Earth</i>

98
00:07:05,432 --> 00:07:07,500
<i>in order to mine gold and bring</i>

99
00:07:07,534 --> 00:07:11,037
<i>it back to their home planet.</i>

100
00:07:17,010 --> 00:07:18,945
<i>But why gold?</i>

101
00:07:19,012 --> 00:07:20,212
<i>What are the unique properties</i>

102
00:07:20,247 --> 00:07:21,948
<i>of this precious metal that</i>

103
00:07:22,015 --> 00:07:23,149
<i>might make it important and</i>

104
00:07:23,183 --> 00:07:24,216
<i>worth traveling through the</i>

105
00:07:24,251 --> 00:07:28,154
<i>galaxy for?</i>

106
00:07:28,188 --> 00:07:30,222
<i>I think, for</i>

107
00:07:30,257 --> 00:07:31,691
<i>extraterrestrials, gold would</i>

108
00:07:31,758 --> 00:07:32,959
<i>be an important resource just</i>

109
00:07:33,026 --> 00:07:35,027
<i>like it is for us.</i>

110
00:07:35,028 --> 00:07:36,963
<i>If it's at all like our society,</i>

111
00:07:37,030 --> 00:07:38,164
<i>one of the major things it's</i>

112
00:07:38,198 --> 00:07:39,231
<i>going to be built on is</i>

113
00:07:39,266 --> 00:07:40,967
<i>electricity, and gold really is</i>

114
00:07:41,034 --> 00:07:42,702
<i>one of the top conductors, and</i>

115
00:07:42,769 --> 00:07:44,337
<i>its malleability and its ability</i>

116
00:07:44,404 --> 00:07:46,706
<i>to make it into wires, use it in</i>

117
00:07:46,773 --> 00:07:47,773
<i>really small forms as</i>

118
00:07:47,808 --> 00:07:49,075
<i>nanoparticles is going to make</i>

119
00:07:49,109 --> 00:07:50,409
<i>it an incredible technological</i>

120
00:07:50,444 --> 00:07:52,878
<i>resource for any sort of life-</i>

121
00:07:52,913 --> 00:07:54,347
<i>forms that reach that level of</i>

122
00:07:54,381 --> 00:07:55,581
<i>dealing with electricity and</i>

123
00:07:55,616 --> 00:07:58,784
<i>technology as we do.</i>

124
00:07:58,819 --> 00:08:00,987
<i>One of the exciting directions</i>

125
00:08:01,054 --> 00:08:03,623
<i>is possibly as an energy source</i>

126
00:08:03,657 --> 00:08:04,890
<i>through properties called</i>

127
00:08:04,925 --> 00:08:06,258
<i>thermoelectric effects, where it</i>

128
00:08:06,293 --> 00:08:07,693
<i>can take heat and turn it</i>

129
00:08:07,728 --> 00:08:09,428
<i>directly into electricity.</i>

130
00:08:09,463 --> 00:08:11,163
<i>This would be obviously a very</i>

131
00:08:11,231 --> 00:08:13,532
<i>nice clean energy source.</i>

132
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,167
<i>With its capacity</i>

133
00:08:15,235 --> 00:08:16,869
<i>to create energy and conduct</i>

134
00:08:16,903 --> 00:08:19,405
<i>heat, some scientists believe</i>

135
00:08:19,439 --> 00:08:21,807
<i>gold may also be an invaluable</i>

136
00:08:21,842 --> 00:08:23,409
<i>asset in the construction of</i>

137
00:08:23,443 --> 00:08:24,610
<i>spaceships.</i>

138
00:08:24,645 --> 00:08:25,911
<i>Gold actually</i>

139
00:08:25,946 --> 00:08:27,713
<i>reflects infrared light.</i>

140
00:08:27,781 --> 00:08:30,816
<i>Infrared is basically light</i>

141
00:08:30,851 --> 00:08:33,052
<i>that's not quite red, and so you</i>

142
00:08:33,086 --> 00:08:34,620
<i>don't see it, but we interact</i>

143
00:08:34,655 --> 00:08:36,088
<i>with it as heat.</i>

144
00:08:36,123 --> 00:08:37,456
<i>The radiation will interact with</i>

145
00:08:37,491 --> 00:08:38,724
<i>your molecules and make them</i>

146
00:08:38,759 --> 00:08:40,059
<i>vibrate faster and you'll feel</i>

147
00:08:40,093 --> 00:08:41,427
<i>that as heat, so it makes a</i>

148
00:08:41,461 --> 00:08:42,895
<i>great heat shield, partly</i>

149
00:08:42,929 --> 00:08:44,163
<i>because it's so malleable.</i>

150
00:08:44,197 --> 00:08:45,631
<i>You can make it very thin; it's</i>

151
00:08:45,666 --> 00:08:46,899
<i>easy to work with; and it has</i>

152
00:08:46,933 --> 00:08:48,267
<i>great properties for reflecting</i>

153
00:08:48,301 --> 00:08:50,836
<i>and heat protection.</i>

154
00:08:52,973 --> 00:08:54,907
<i>The only metal</i>

155
00:08:54,975 --> 00:08:57,276
<i>that really lasts is gold.</i>

156
00:08:57,310 --> 00:08:59,478
<i>Gold is indestructible.</i>

157
00:08:59,513 --> 00:09:01,747
<i>All gold from ancient times</i>

158
00:09:01,815 --> 00:09:04,483
<i>still exists today.</i>

159
00:09:04,551 --> 00:09:07,086
<i>If you look at</i>

160
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,754
<i>Zecharia Sitchin's theories--</i>

161
00:09:08,789 --> 00:09:10,823
<i>that E.T.s came down from</i>

162
00:09:10,857 --> 00:09:12,458
<i>another planet in our solar</i>

163
00:09:12,526 --> 00:09:14,927
<i>system, which is on a 3,600-year</i>

164
00:09:14,961 --> 00:09:16,829
<i>elliptical orbit, that they were</i>

165
00:09:16,897 --> 00:09:18,764
<i>running out of minerals, and</i>

166
00:09:18,832 --> 00:09:20,199
<i>gold specifically, that they</i>

167
00:09:20,233 --> 00:09:22,468
<i>somehow needed to line their</i>

168
00:09:22,502 --> 00:09:25,371
<i>atmosphere with.</i>

169
00:09:25,405 --> 00:09:27,106
<i>These</i>

170
00:09:27,140 --> 00:09:28,674
<i>extraterrestrials-- they just</i>

171
00:09:28,742 --> 00:09:30,476
<i>first measure our planet.</i>

172
00:09:30,544 --> 00:09:31,744
<i>And they have the instrument to</i>

173
00:09:31,778 --> 00:09:34,480
<i>find out: where on this planet</i>

174
00:09:34,514 --> 00:09:37,183
<i>do we find raw material?</i>

175
00:09:37,217 --> 00:09:38,451
<i>Through their</i>

176
00:09:38,485 --> 00:09:40,386
<i>incredible equipment, they find</i>

177
00:09:40,420 --> 00:09:42,822
<i>a planet that has this.</i>

178
00:09:42,856 --> 00:09:44,190
<i>It's got gold.</i>

179
00:09:44,224 --> 00:09:45,458
<i>So they decide "We're going to</i>

180
00:09:45,492 --> 00:09:46,325
<i>go there and we're going to</i>

181
00:09:46,393 --> 00:09:47,326
<i>mine."</i>

182
00:09:47,394 --> 00:09:49,495
<i>So they send some expeditions to</i>

183
00:09:49,529 --> 00:09:50,730
<i>planet Earth.</i>

184
00:09:50,797 --> 00:09:52,631
<i>All of a sudden they get here</i>

185
00:09:52,666 --> 00:09:54,800
<i>and the factions begin to say,</i>

186
00:09:54,835 --> 00:09:56,102
<i>"Well, there's a lot of gold</i>

187
00:09:56,136 --> 00:09:57,269
<i>here, but we're not digging it</i>

188
00:09:57,337 --> 00:09:58,270
<i>out.</i>

189
00:09:58,338 --> 00:09:59,472
<i>What are we going to do?</i>

190
00:09:59,506 --> 00:10:01,640
<i>We need workers."</i>

191
00:10:01,675 --> 00:10:03,709
<i>The story that came</i>

192
00:10:03,744 --> 00:10:05,277
<i>down to the Sumerians is that</i>

193
00:10:05,345 --> 00:10:08,647
<i>the Anunnaki were mining gold</i>

194
00:10:08,682 --> 00:10:11,617
<i>on the earth, and the run-of-</i>

195
00:10:11,651 --> 00:10:13,352
<i>the-mill workers complained,</i>

196
00:10:13,386 --> 00:10:14,820
<i>said, "This is really hard work</i>

197
00:10:14,888 --> 00:10:16,122
<i>and we're tired.</i>

198
00:10:16,156 --> 00:10:17,356
<i>We don't want to do this</i>

199
00:10:17,390 --> 00:10:18,357
<i>anymore."</i>

200
00:10:18,391 --> 00:10:19,925
<i>And so they had a big council</i>

201
00:10:19,993 --> 00:10:21,293
<i>and they decided to create a</i>

202
00:10:21,328 --> 00:10:22,828
<i>primitive worker called an</i>

203
00:10:22,896 --> 00:10:26,398
<i>Adamu.</i>

204
00:10:26,433 --> 00:10:28,834
<i>So they look at what</i>

205
00:10:28,902 --> 00:10:30,636
<i>is on this planet, and that is</i>

206
00:10:30,670 --> 00:10:32,204
<i>Homo erectus, and they say,</i>

207
00:10:32,239 --> 00:10:33,472
<i>"Well, they're not very</i>

208
00:10:33,507 --> 00:10:34,673
<i>intelligent and they're not</i>

209
00:10:34,741 --> 00:10:36,542
<i>going to listen to us, so we're</i>

210
00:10:36,576 --> 00:10:37,843
<i>going to genetically alter</i>

211
00:10:37,911 --> 00:10:39,578
<i>them."</i>

212
00:10:39,613 --> 00:10:41,380
<i>The Anunnaki created</i>

213
00:10:41,448 --> 00:10:42,915
<i>humans as a slave species.</i>

214
00:10:42,949 --> 00:10:44,183
<i>According to</i>

215
00:10:44,217 --> 00:10:46,652
<i>Zecharia Sitchin, the Adamu</i>

216
00:10:46,686 --> 00:10:49,321
<i>were the first modern humans.</i>

217
00:10:49,389 --> 00:10:50,656
<i>They were created by the</i>

218
00:10:50,690 --> 00:10:54,393
<i>Anunnaki 450,000 years ago when</i>

219
00:10:54,461 --> 00:10:56,595
<i>they genetically mixed their DNA</i>

220
00:10:56,630 --> 00:11:00,833
<i>with that of prehistoric man.</i>

221
00:11:00,867 --> 00:11:02,234
<i>They took one</i>

222
00:11:02,302 --> 00:11:04,403
<i>cell of one of these ancestors</i>

223
00:11:04,471 --> 00:11:05,237
<i>of us.</i>

224
00:11:05,305 --> 00:11:07,506
<i>They changed the cell by an</i>

225
00:11:07,541 --> 00:11:09,008
<i>artificial mutation.</i>

226
00:11:09,042 --> 00:11:10,676
<i>They changed the DNA code, what</i>

227
00:11:10,710 --> 00:11:12,945
<i>our genetics are doing every
day.</i>

228
00:11:12,979 --> 00:11:14,680
<i>It's carved in
their stone.</i>

229
00:11:14,714 --> 00:11:17,316
<i>This is not something made up.</i>

230
00:11:17,384 --> 00:11:20,820
<i>This is part of the Sumerian
history.</i>

231
00:11:20,821 --> 00:11:22,288
<i>They believed that the</i>

232
00:11:22,322 --> 00:11:24,690
<i>gods came down and created them,</i>

233
00:11:24,724 --> 00:11:27,226
<i>and they were their slave
species.</i>

234
00:11:27,294 --> 00:11:28,761
<i>They knew that, and they didn't</i>

235
00:11:28,795 --> 00:11:30,596
<i>have any philosophical beliefs</i>

236
00:11:30,664 --> 00:11:32,698
<i>about the purpose of man or</i>

<i>anything.</i>

238
00:11:34,234 --> 00:11:35,167
<i>If you believe</i>

239
00:11:35,235 --> 00:11:37,937
<i>Sitchin's theory that mankind</i>

240
00:11:37,971 --> 00:11:40,339
<i>was created by E.T.s for slave</i>

241
00:11:40,407 --> 00:11:44,210
<i>labor, all of a sudden it makes
sense.</i>

242
00:11:44,244 --> 00:11:45,311
<i>And then when you look at the</i>

243
00:11:45,345 --> 00:11:47,213
<i>biblical terms of what may have</i>

244
00:11:47,247 --> 00:11:48,614
<i>happened-- Adam and Eve?</i>

245
00:11:48,682 --> 00:11:50,216
<i>Sure, they may have been two</i>

246
00:11:50,250 --> 00:11:53,219
<i>individuals back a long time</i>

247
00:11:53,253 --> 00:11:55,221
<i>ago, the beginning of time.</i>

248
00:11:55,255 --> 00:11:56,889
<i>But perhaps Adam and Eve were</i>

249
00:11:56,957 --> 00:11:58,624
<i>the first of the genetically</i>

250

<i>Closer comparisons</i>

<i>between the Hebrew Bible and</i>

<i>the Sumerian texts reveal many</i>

254

00:12:12,005 --> 00:12:13,806
<i>stories, but also in their</i>

<i>language.</i>

257
00:12:15,275 --> 00:12:17,910
<i>"Adam" is Hebrew for "man."</i>

258
00:12:17,944 --> 00:12:20,079
<i>"Adamu" is what the Sumerians</i>

259
00:12:20,113 --> 00:12:22,414
<i>refer to as "first man," the</i>

<i>Anunnaki slaves.</i>

261
00:12:24,684 --> 00:12:26,352
<i>But do the Sumerian tablets</i>

262
00:12:26,386 --> 00:12:29,388
<i>actually describe an alien race,</i>

263
00:12:29,422 --> 00:12:31,223
<i>a race that conducted mining</i>

264

<i>The largest concentration can</i>

<i>some excavations, according to</i>

<i>They're in areas that</i>

00:12:59,352 --> 00:13:01,253
<i>have an abundance of gold right</i>

277
00:13:01,288 --> 00:13:03,489
<i>now, so it's very possible that</i>

278
00:13:03,523 --> 00:13:04,590
<i>they could have mined it.</i>

279
00:13:04,624 --> 00:13:05,991
<i>Now, the big question is, how</i>

280
00:13:06,026 --> 00:13:07,259
<i>do we know they weren't human</i>

281

<i>beings that simply did that?</i>

282

<i>Why the E.T. theory?</i>

<i>In many languages</i>

<i>for tens of thousands of years.</i>

291
00:13:27,881 --> 00:13:29,982
<i>Zulu legends speak of a time</i>

292
00:13:30,050 --> 00:13:31,684
<i>when "visitors from the stars"</i>

293

<i>Some ancient mines</i>

<i>or fairy tales, but facts, and</i>

314

Peru has long been known
as "the land of gold."

319
00:14:30,310 --> 00:14:35,047
In ancient times, Incan rulers
adorned themselves with it.

320
00:14:35,115 --> 00:14:39,018
And when the Spanish explorers
arrived in the 16th century,

321
00:14:39,052 --> 00:14:44,223
they sent shiploads of their
plunder back home to Spain.

322
00:14:44,291 --> 00:14:47,092
Gold was largely a valuable
commodity because of

323
00:14:47,127 --> 00:14:50,496
being rare and easy to
make jewelry, coinage.

324
00:14:50,497 --> 00:14:53,299
And if you're looking at, like,
the ancient Incas, those people

325
00:14:53,366 --> 00:14:56,302
are using gold as a status symbol.

326
00:14:56,369 --> 00:15:00,205
Many cultures thought it
came directly from the gods.

327
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,943
People thought gold was so pure,
so wonderful, it must heal, and

328
00:15:04,044 --> 00:15:07,579
they would actually
occasionally ingest pure gold.

329
00:15:07,614 --> 00:15:11,784
Certainly, we're discovering
more and more, as we get better

330
00:15:11,818 --> 00:15:14,586
at archeology and as we can
look into these things,

331
00:15:14,621 --> 00:15:16,288
applications that people have used.

332
00:15:16,323 --> 00:15:19,058
For instance, there is some
evidence that ancient people

333
00:15:19,125 --> 00:15:22,594
had very primitive batteries,
and this would be a place in

334
00:15:22,629 --> 00:15:25,064
which gold would be very useful
because of its electrical

335
00:15:25,131 --> 00:15:28,233
properties and its conductivity.

336
00:15:28,301 --> 00:15:31,136
It should not be
surprising, then, to find

337
00:15:31,237 --> 00:15:34,974
archaeological evidence
of ancient gold mines.

338
00:15:35,075 --> 00:15:38,877
But some sites have recently
been discovered that date back

339
00:15:38,945 --> 00:15:42,314
some 50,000 years.

340
00:15:42,315 --> 00:15:45,784
All throughout areas in
Peru, you see remnants of

341
00:15:45,819 --> 00:15:50,155
what could have been
ancient mining operations.

342
00:15:50,156 --> 00:15:51,490
It's there.

343
00:15:51,524 --> 00:15:54,793
They go down, some cases,
thousands of feet deep.

344
00:15:54,861 --> 00:15:58,163
Gold turns out to be
surprisingly easy to mine for,

345
00:15:58,264 --> 00:16:01,000
even though it's relatively rare.

346
00:16:01,067 --> 00:16:04,003
There's a lot of common
techniques ancient people used,

347
00:16:04,070 --> 00:16:07,339
and some of them were used, you
know, well into recent times.

348
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,175
A lot of it, you know, involves
using water, often, to change

349
00:16:10,276 --> 00:16:12,911
the properties of the rock around it.

350
00:16:12,979 --> 00:16:16,682
A lot of heating and freezing,
and the gold will come loose.

351
00:16:19,853 --> 00:16:23,188
In addition to gold,
other ancient sites in

352
00:16:23,223 --> 00:16:28,093
Peru provide evidence that they
were once mined for quartz...

353
00:16:28,161 --> 00:16:31,463
hematite...
and red ochre.

354
00:16:31,531 --> 00:16:33,499
They're used for different things.

355
00:16:33,533 --> 00:16:35,167
Quartz is incredibly common.

356
00:16:35,201 --> 00:16:36,802
It's basically silicone dioxide.

357
00:16:36,836 --> 00:16:38,270
It's kind of like glass.

358
00:16:38,338 --> 00:16:40,172
It's a great mineral; it's hard;

359
00:16:40,206 --> 00:16:44,243
but it can be formed into pretty
sculptures; you could make

360
00:16:44,277 --> 00:16:48,080
quartz statues; you could
probably even use it for money

361
00:16:48,114 --> 00:16:51,116
before you discovered
minerals and gold.

362
00:16:51,184 --> 00:16:55,721
Hematite and ochre are much
more valuable because of their

363
00:16:55,755 --> 00:16:58,757
iron oxide.

364
00:16:58,825 --> 00:17:01,460
And particularly ochre is
important as a pigment, so as

365
00:17:01,528 --> 00:17:04,463
soon as you're gonna start
having painting, cave drawings

366
00:17:04,531 --> 00:17:08,100
even, or any sort of art work,
you need to make colors.

367
00:17:08,168 --> 00:17:11,403
And making color can be a
challenge, and ochre is a great

368
00:17:11,471 --> 00:17:15,274
source of that.

369
00:17:15,308 --> 00:17:20,412
Also located in Peru are the
world-famous Nazca lines.

370
00:17:20,447 --> 00:17:23,549
While the origins of these
ancient geoglyphs remain a

371
00:17:23,616 --> 00:17:27,786
mystery, the area in which the
lines are located suggests that

372
00:17:27,821 --> 00:17:31,857
a major excavation took place
there, perhaps hundreds of

373
00:17:31,958 --> 00:17:34,593
centuries ago.

374
00:17:34,594 --> 00:17:38,797
At Nazca, entire mountaintops
have been removed.

375
00:17:38,832 --> 00:17:43,068
I mean, this all requires machining.

376
00:17:43,136 --> 00:17:49,141
And I'm not talking, you know, a
little wheelbarrow and-and a pick.

377
00:17:49,142 --> 00:17:52,878
I'm talking sophisticated
machinery, because we today

378
00:17:52,912 --> 00:17:58,117
would also need sophisticated
machinery in order to achieve

379
00:17:58,184 --> 00:17:59,685
such feats.

380
00:17:59,719 --> 00:18:03,021
Could the vast flat plain
located in the Nazca

381
00:18:03,123 --> 00:18:08,026
Desert be evidence of a
gigantic mining operation, one

382
00:18:08,128 --> 00:18:12,664
that took place hundreds
of thousands of years ago?

383
00:18:12,699 --> 00:18:17,202
Whoever comes here in a
spaceship, Nazca would be

384
00:18:17,237 --> 00:18:20,839
like a beacon, as
in: "Come here."

385
00:18:20,874 --> 00:18:24,643
Because the moment you come to
Nazca, you're sort of confronted

386
00:18:24,711 --> 00:18:28,847
with a Cliff Notes to planet
Earth, where you have all sorts

387
00:18:28,915 --> 00:18:33,852
of raw materials that exist in
that one particular spot in

388
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,823
very, very abundant quantities.

389
00:18:37,824 --> 00:18:40,359
I think the Nazca Lines
aren't evidence of search

390
00:18:40,393 --> 00:18:43,195
for gold, but they're evidence
of some communication

391
00:18:43,229 --> 00:18:48,400
with possibly E.T.
s, or gods, from above.

392
00:18:48,401 --> 00:18:54,306
But despite the controversy, one
thing is the plain, and the

393
00:18:54,374 --> 00:18:58,644
lines that scar the surrounding
countryside, are not natural

394
00:18:58,678 --> 00:19:00,846
formations.

395
00:19:00,914 --> 00:19:04,216
But while scientists and
ancient astronaut theorists

396
00:19:04,317 --> 00:19:09,121
remain divided about who, or
what, created the Nazca lines,

397
00:19:09,189 --> 00:19:14,059
they are in agreement about
one the so-called Band of

398
00:19:14,127 --> 00:19:22,100
Holes, located in the Pisco Valley,
Peru, is a complete mystery.

399
00:19:22,135 --> 00:19:25,938
In the mountains of Peru,
we have what's commonly

400
00:19:25,972 --> 00:19:30,108
referred to as the Band of
Holes, and it is this Band of

401
00:19:30,143 --> 00:19:37,516
Holes that were carved or
dug into the mountainside.

402
00:19:37,584 --> 00:19:42,120
It's a bunch of little,
shallow holes, dug

403
00:19:42,155 --> 00:19:45,958
into the ground, and it's had
all kinds of explanations.

404
00:19:45,959 --> 00:19:49,127
Some people say it was just pot
hunters, you know, looting,

405
00:19:49,162 --> 00:19:51,697
looking for burials.

406
00:19:51,764 --> 00:19:55,133
Some people think it looks like
some kind of machine was running

407
00:19:55,168 --> 00:19:56,902
over the territory.

408
00:19:56,970 --> 00:20:02,908
Some people think it was some kind
of systematic mining operation.

409
00:20:02,942 --> 00:20:05,577
They need raw material,
be it gold, be it

410
00:20:05,678 --> 00:20:07,579
silver, be it uranium, whatever;

411
00:20:07,614 --> 00:20:08,580
they need something.

412
00:20:08,615 --> 00:20:11,216
And they send something
down like a shuttle.

413
00:20:11,284 --> 00:20:12,751
It can be a robot.

414
00:20:12,785 --> 00:20:14,753
No extraterrestrial is on board.

415
00:20:14,854 --> 00:20:19,124
And this robot just caresses
over the surfaces and collects

416
00:20:19,192 --> 00:20:23,595
and measures raw material,
and disappears again.

417
00:20:23,630 --> 00:20:27,199
The holes run about three
feet apart and measure

418
00:20:27,233 --> 00:20:33,939
six to seven feet in depth,
and number in the thousands.

419
00:20:33,973 --> 00:20:36,742
Often we see regular
structures like that and we

420
00:20:36,776 --> 00:20:40,212
assume either a person or an
intelligent life had to make it,

421
00:20:40,246 --> 00:20:42,614
but there's lots of examples
in nature where the natural

422
00:20:42,682 --> 00:20:47,519
processes lead to large-scale
what we call "pattern formation."

423
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,888
You see it on a small
scale in animals.

424
00:20:49,922 --> 00:20:52,424
You look at leopards and
zebras-- leopards have spots;

425
00:20:52,458 --> 00:20:53,425
zebras have stripes.

426
00:20:53,493 --> 00:20:56,428
Surprisingly, on geological
scales, some of the same

427
00:20:56,462 --> 00:20:59,798
processes that give you spots
on a leopard could give you

428
00:20:59,899 --> 00:21:02,801
indentations in the ground and
raised areas that would look

429
00:21:02,869 --> 00:21:03,602
like holes.

430
00:21:03,636 --> 00:21:07,339
It would take a long time over
geological scales, but we've had

431
00:21:07,407 --> 00:21:12,711
a long time, and that might be
what they're left over from.

432
00:21:12,779 --> 00:21:15,947
Mainstream archaeologists
suggest the holes

433
00:21:15,982 --> 00:21:19,818
were used to store grain, but
ancient astronaut theorists

434
00:21:19,886 --> 00:21:23,622
reject that notion.

435
00:21:23,656 --> 00:21:27,159
It's a mystery because
who in their right mind

436
00:21:27,260 --> 00:21:30,462
would go ahead and
dig all these holes?

437
00:21:30,530 --> 00:21:32,531
For what?

438
00:21:32,532 --> 00:21:36,168
The other intriguing aspect
about the Band of Holes is that

439
00:21:36,269 --> 00:21:40,605
you can only see it from the air.

440
00:21:40,606 --> 00:21:45,277
When you stand down there, all
you see is a couple of holes dug

441
00:21:45,345 --> 00:21:48,447
into the ground, and it
doesn't really mean much.

442
00:21:48,514 --> 00:21:52,551
But if you're up in the air,
there is this long band with

443
00:21:52,618 --> 00:21:57,556
these individual holes that you
can see, and you can conceivably

444
00:21:57,623 --> 00:22:04,196
create some type of message that
can only be seen from the air.

445
00:22:09,268 --> 00:22:12,471
But if ancient aliens
came to Earth searching

446
00:22:12,505 --> 00:22:15,207
for gold, why did they leave?

447
00:22:15,274 --> 00:22:20,479
More gold still exists here, as
do many other valuable minerals.

448
00:22:20,513 --> 00:22:25,283
Could it be that ancient mining
operations were just the means

449
00:22:25,351 --> 00:22:28,286
to another possibly greater end?

450
00:22:28,354 --> 00:22:32,724
Or perhaps the real alien
mission on Earth was to hunt

451
00:22:32,759 --> 00:22:34,726
the greatest prey in the

452
00:22:36,596 --> 00:22:39,030
Man.

453
00:22:41,378 --> 00:22:43,813
Alamosa, Colorado.

454
00:22:43,881 --> 00:22:46,816
September 7, 1967.

455
00:22:46,884 --> 00:22:50,653
When a three-year-old horse
named Snippy went missing, her

456
00:22:50,721 --> 00:22:54,290
owners grew concerned and
went out looking for her.

457
00:22:54,358 --> 00:22:58,661
Their search yielded a gruesome
and mysterious discovery.

458
00:22:58,696 --> 00:23:02,298
Snippy's body had been mutilated...

459
00:23:04,335 --> 00:23:06,302
...almost surgically.

460
00:23:06,337 --> 00:23:09,973
An examination of the carcass
showed that her skin and flesh

461
00:23:10,007 --> 00:23:14,277
had been neatly cut; her heart
and brain had been removed, and

462
00:23:14,345 --> 00:23:17,981
a formaldehyde-like odor
emitted from the remains.

463
00:23:18,048 --> 00:23:23,453
An autopsy also revealed that her
spinal fluid had been removed.

464
00:23:23,487 --> 00:23:26,823
The events of Snippy's death
stunned the community and remain

465
00:23:26,891 --> 00:23:30,527
shrouded in mystery, even to this day.

466
00:23:30,561 --> 00:23:34,631
Since the mutilation, an
estimated 50,000 similar events

467
00:23:34,665 --> 00:23:40,203
have been reported around the world,
most of them involving cattle.

468
00:23:40,204 --> 00:23:43,740
But it was not until about
the middle of the 1970s

469
00:23:43,808 --> 00:23:47,811
that cattle mutilations
really entered into Ufology.

470
00:23:47,812 --> 00:23:51,247
Farmers would come out and find
some prize livestock that was

471
00:23:51,282 --> 00:23:55,885
alive and healthy the day before and
then it was just suddenly dead.

472
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,022
And it looked like it had been
cut up in a rather odd way.

473
00:23:59,056 --> 00:24:02,892
That certain parts of the body
looked like they were cut out in

474
00:24:02,927 --> 00:24:08,665
ways that seemed to
be almost surgical.

475
00:24:08,732 --> 00:24:12,569
Television producer and UFO
investigator Linda Howe

476
00:24:12,670 --> 00:24:17,974
has been tracking the mystery of
animal mutilation for over 30 years.

477
00:24:18,008 --> 00:24:20,243
I began trying to get to
the bottom of what was

478
00:24:20,277 --> 00:24:22,912
happening to all of these animals.

479
00:24:22,913 --> 00:24:26,916
There were horses, cows, other
domestic animals found with the

480
00:24:26,984 --> 00:24:30,286
same pattern of bloodless excisions.

481
00:24:30,354 --> 00:24:34,891
The law enforcement called
them animal mutilations.

482
00:24:36,360 --> 00:24:40,630
266-some Polaroids, from so
many cases, and the first thing

483
00:24:40,698 --> 00:24:43,466
I felt was anger.

484
00:24:43,534 --> 00:24:49,239
And then I felt nervous,
and then I felt afraid.

485
00:24:49,306 --> 00:24:53,243
I sat across from sheriffs who
told me, "Linda, we're not

486
00:24:53,310 --> 00:24:57,046
dealing with predators,
disease, and satanic cults.

487
00:24:57,081 --> 00:25:01,351
We're dealing with creatures
from outer space."

488
00:25:04,755 --> 00:25:07,056
There are several
explanations for why aliens

489
00:25:07,091 --> 00:25:09,359
would want to experiment on cows.

490
00:25:09,393 --> 00:25:11,628
One is that they're
just looking for food.

491
00:25:11,695 --> 00:25:14,063
One that they're looking for
some kind of information about

492
00:25:14,164 --> 00:25:16,065
vertebrate organisms.

493
00:25:16,166 --> 00:25:19,168
Another one is that they're
looking for some kind of genetic

494
00:25:19,203 --> 00:25:22,171
material for some reason.

495
00:25:22,206 --> 00:25:25,708
The closest answer I've ever
gotten was from a man who

496
00:25:25,743 --> 00:25:30,713
had had very upfront, and close
and personal observations of

497
00:25:30,748 --> 00:25:33,383
nonhumans in his work
for the government.

498
00:25:33,384 --> 00:25:37,053
He told me-- he said, "The best
answer I can give you, Linda,

499
00:25:37,087 --> 00:25:39,055
It's a genetic harvest."

500
00:25:39,089 --> 00:25:42,692
But once you have said, "a
genetic harvest from Earth,"

501
00:25:42,726 --> 00:25:45,128
there's even a bigger question.

502
00:25:45,129 --> 00:25:48,264
Why a genetic harvest from Earth?

503
00:25:48,365 --> 00:25:52,268
What is being made with
this genetic harvest?

504
00:25:52,369 --> 00:25:55,271
To what end?

505
00:25:58,976 --> 00:26:02,278
The answer to these questions
might be found in our

506
00:26:02,313 --> 00:26:06,916
ancient past, in the bizarre,
almost Frankenstein-like

507
00:26:06,984 --> 00:26:11,721
experiments that were practiced
by early civilizations.

508
00:26:11,722 --> 00:26:16,726
We have ancient descriptions
from Egypt where it

509
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:24,133
says specifically that the
gods created these chimeras--

510
00:26:24,201 --> 00:26:27,337
mixed beings, or hybrids.

511
00:26:27,338 --> 00:26:33,943
We find paintings where you have
a human body with a cut-off head

512
00:26:34,011 --> 00:26:39,182
and a red tube coming out of it,
and next to it, you have just

513
00:26:39,216 --> 00:26:41,484
the head of some animal.

514
00:26:41,585 --> 00:26:45,588
And in the next picture-- 'cause
they're like-- they look like

515
00:26:45,656 --> 00:26:47,090
comic strips almost.

516
00:26:47,124 --> 00:26:50,960
And in the next picture, you see
the same human body with the

517
00:26:51,028 --> 00:26:54,964
animal head attached
to the human neck.

518
00:26:55,032 --> 00:26:58,601
Incredibly, examples of
strange human animal

519
00:26:58,635 --> 00:27:03,506
hybrid beings date back to a time
even older than ancient Egypt.

520
00:27:03,574 --> 00:27:06,309
According to mainstream
archeology, ancient

521
00:27:06,343 --> 00:27:10,980
Sumeria is the earliest
civilization of human kind.

522
00:27:11,015 --> 00:27:16,252
And the interesting part is
the fact that their earliest

523
00:27:16,286 --> 00:27:21,624
writings are filled with
references of these bizarre

524
00:27:21,658 --> 00:27:26,662
beings that descended from
the sky called the Anunnaki.

525
00:27:26,697 --> 00:27:32,635
Anunnaki means "those who
from the heavens came."

526
00:27:35,105 --> 00:27:40,109
But is there any physical evidence
of these human-animal hybrids?

527
00:27:40,177 --> 00:27:43,379
If so, wouldn't we have
found skeletal remains?

528
00:27:43,414 --> 00:27:47,850
The answer may have been found
in Saqqâra, Egypt, home to that

529
00:27:47,885 --> 00:27:49,285
country's oldest pyramid.

530
00:27:49,319 --> 00:27:54,490
In 1851, French scholar and
Egyptologist Auguste Mariette

531
00:27:54,558 --> 00:27:58,494
explored a deep tomb dedicated
to the sacred Apis bull.

532
00:27:58,562 --> 00:28:02,732
Inside were two sealed
and intact sarcophagi.

533
00:28:02,766 --> 00:28:09,138
But when Mariette opened them,
what they contained was shocking.

534
00:28:09,206 --> 00:28:14,510
They opened the sarcophagus
and they didn't find a bull.

535
00:28:14,578 --> 00:28:19,782
Instead, they found this black
mass of what's called bitumen,

536
00:28:19,850 --> 00:28:21,784
a type of asphalt.

537
00:28:21,852 --> 00:28:25,788
And inside this stinking mass,
they found the bone fragments of

538
00:28:25,856 --> 00:28:33,062
seven different types
of animals crushed up.

539
00:28:33,097 --> 00:28:38,334
According to the accompanying
texts, some type of monsters

540
00:28:38,402 --> 00:28:43,172
existed during the
time of the Egyptians.

541
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:47,710
And so who knows whether or not
the priests instructed the

542
00:28:47,778 --> 00:28:52,882
people to destroy these beings,
to rip them apart, to crush

543
00:28:52,950 --> 00:28:55,351
their bones, and put them
inside this stinking mass,

544
00:28:55,385 --> 00:29:02,158
and put them underneath a lid in
the sarcophagus weighing 80 tons.

545
00:29:02,226 --> 00:29:06,362
I mean, all... in all of Egypt
we can find mummified remains of

546
00:29:06,396 --> 00:29:12,435
every single animal, but we
find these sarcophagi that

547
00:29:12,469 --> 00:29:15,838
contain these crushed-up bones.

548
00:29:15,906 --> 00:29:19,942
Doesn't that mean the ancient
Egyptians did not want for those

549
00:29:19,977 --> 00:29:26,616
creatures to ever return
after their death?

550
00:29:26,717 --> 00:29:29,986
Of course, mainstream scientists and

551
00:29:30,053 --> 00:29:33,256
archaeologists believe ancient
Greek and Egyptian stories of

552
00:29:33,290 --> 00:29:36,926
animal and human hybrids are
just fanciful products of the

553
00:29:36,994 --> 00:29:38,928
imagination.

554
00:29:38,996 --> 00:29:40,263
But are they?

555
00:29:40,264 --> 00:29:42,632
There is this period
in pre-dynastic Egypt,

556
00:29:42,733 --> 00:29:45,268
where these demigods ruled.

557
00:29:45,335 --> 00:29:46,969
We have not found human remains.

558
00:29:47,004 --> 00:29:49,205
We do not know who they were.

559
00:29:49,206 --> 00:29:52,542
But we do have scientific
evidence that at least the

560
00:29:52,609 --> 00:29:56,012
ancient Egyptians believed
firmly that they ruled.

561
00:29:56,079 --> 00:29:59,815
As to whether they are just
human beings, like you or I; or

562
00:29:59,917 --> 00:30:02,385
whether they come from somewhere
else; or whether they are a

563
00:30:02,452 --> 00:30:06,022
hybrid being, we have no idea.

564
00:30:06,089 --> 00:30:08,824
What if ancient
civilizations possessed the

565
00:30:08,859 --> 00:30:13,462
advanced scientific knowledge of
our own modern day scientists?

566
00:30:13,530 --> 00:30:17,667
What if they, too, had unlocked
the mysteries of DNA: cloning

567
00:30:17,701 --> 00:30:21,337
and gene-splicing?

568
00:30:21,338 --> 00:30:24,273
Why is this so fascinating?

569
00:30:24,308 --> 00:30:27,843
Well, because if you look at
this from a genetics aspect,

570
00:30:27,878 --> 00:30:34,283
we're in the process right now
today of being able to recreate

571
00:30:34,318 --> 00:30:38,187
creatures like that.

572
00:30:38,188 --> 00:30:40,156
I mean, this is Frankenstein.

573
00:30:40,190 --> 00:30:41,357
This is science fiction stuff.

574
00:30:41,425 --> 00:30:46,195
Yet, in ancient Egypt, we have
the exact same descriptions, the

575
00:30:46,263 --> 00:30:52,168
exact same depictions of some
very bizarre, hybridization

576
00:30:52,202 --> 00:30:59,342
program which took place
thousands of years ago.

577
00:30:59,376 --> 00:31:04,447
They are mixing alien,
animal and human DNA, not

578
00:31:04,481 --> 00:31:09,485
just for ten years or 20 years,
but for thousands and thousands

579
00:31:09,553 --> 00:31:11,220
of years.

580
00:31:11,221 --> 00:31:14,624
And that's why there are so many
alien abductions, and that's why

581
00:31:14,658 --> 00:31:19,795
each generation is cyclically
more advanced than the next,

582
00:31:19,863 --> 00:31:22,431
until we get to the complete
union of two cultures-- the

583
00:31:22,466 --> 00:31:26,369
ultimate hybrid.

584
00:31:26,370 --> 00:31:30,339
I think the answer clearly
is, we're not alone in

585
00:31:30,374 --> 00:31:34,443
this universe and we have
nonhuman intelligences

586
00:31:34,478 --> 00:31:38,180
interacting with this planet for
reasons that are still unknown

587
00:31:38,215 --> 00:31:39,815
to most of us.

588
00:31:39,850 --> 00:31:44,186
It leaves you feeling
a little nervous.

589
00:31:44,221 --> 00:31:47,723
If alien beings came here,
as some suggest, to

590
00:31:47,791 --> 00:31:51,193
perform strange mutation
experiments on animals, could

591
00:31:51,228 --> 00:31:54,363
they have done the same on humans?

592
00:31:54,464 --> 00:31:56,999
And if so... why?

593
00:32:03,070 --> 00:32:08,842
Life on Earth comes in a tremendous
diversity of shapes and sizes.

594
00:32:08,876 --> 00:32:13,279
It can be found from the depths
of the deepest oceans to the

595
00:32:13,314 --> 00:32:16,749
peaks of the highest mountains.

596
00:32:16,784 --> 00:32:21,888
But the vast array of
life-forms we see today is only

597
00:32:21,956 --> 00:32:25,258
a small portion of what has
existed on this planet during

598
00:32:25,292 --> 00:32:27,894
its millions of years of history.

599
00:32:27,962 --> 00:32:32,765
In fact, scientists estimate
that 97% of all the species

600
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:38,238
that have ever lived on
Earth are now extinct.

601
00:32:38,305 --> 00:32:43,476
Most scientists today will
tell us that there have

602
00:32:43,510 --> 00:32:49,782
been six major extinction events
that have occurred during the

603
00:32:49,817 --> 00:32:51,217
history of life on Earth.

604
00:32:51,252 --> 00:32:54,654
The most recent of these
extinction events was the one

605
00:32:54,688 --> 00:33:01,427
that occurred 65 million years
ago and wiped out the dinosaurs.

606
00:33:01,495 --> 00:33:05,798
Paleontologists attribute
these mass extinctions

607
00:33:05,833 --> 00:33:11,337
to natural causes such
as meteor strikes...

608
00:33:11,405 --> 00:33:15,775
floods and dropping sea levels.

609
00:33:15,809 --> 00:33:19,612
But another theory suggests
that these extinctions were not

610
00:33:19,647 --> 00:33:22,882
caused by nature, but by alien beings.

611
00:33:22,950 --> 00:33:27,420
In the ancient Sumerian texts,
they can control weather,

612
00:33:27,488 --> 00:33:32,058
they can cause droughts, and
they did this to humans.

613
00:33:32,126 --> 00:33:37,797
They are capable of producing
their own disasters.

614
00:33:37,865 --> 00:33:40,967
But were now-extinct
life-forms actually

615
00:33:41,001 --> 00:33:43,870
exterminated in order to make
way for other, perhaps more

616
00:33:43,904 --> 00:33:46,773
docile or desirable species?

617
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,777
Was the intent to clear
the way for colonization?

618
00:33:50,844 --> 00:33:52,145
Or invasion?

619
00:33:52,179 --> 00:33:55,415
And if so, what sort of
technology would be needed to

620
00:33:55,449 --> 00:34:00,586
effect such a widespread change?

621
00:34:00,621 --> 00:34:05,792
Some theories say that
we have that technology

622
00:34:05,859 --> 00:34:07,794
now, called scalar technology.

623
00:34:07,861 --> 00:34:11,497
We heat up to high, electrical
impulses, a certain spot on the

624
00:34:11,598 --> 00:34:15,168
water, and that creates a hurricane.

625
00:34:15,235 --> 00:34:20,039
And by making a path with that
beam, you can track the hurricane.

626
00:34:20,074 --> 00:34:24,444
Now if we can do that-- and this
is hypothetical-- if we can do

627
00:34:24,511 --> 00:34:29,582
that, why can't an alien culture
say, "Let's create an ice age on

628
00:34:29,616 --> 00:34:32,618
planet Earth?"

629
00:34:32,653 --> 00:34:37,623
It will kill off the dinosaurs,
but pave the way for aliens to

630
00:34:37,658 --> 00:34:43,696
implant human beings on planet Earth.

631
00:34:43,731 --> 00:34:47,700
Did alien beings come to
Earth in order to stay?

632
00:34:47,801 --> 00:34:52,372
Might they, as some believe,
have seeded it with their own

633
00:34:52,439 --> 00:34:53,639
genetic offspring?

634
00:34:53,674 --> 00:34:56,709
If so, where is the proof?

635
00:34:56,744 --> 00:35:01,414
Some ancient astronaut theorists
point to myths that describe

636
00:35:01,448 --> 00:35:06,419
gods coming down from the heavens
in order to mate with humans.

637
00:35:06,453 --> 00:35:09,555
Ancient texts talk about
the fact that whoever

638
00:35:09,590 --> 00:35:14,260
visited the earth in the remote
past, these gods, thought that

639
00:35:14,328 --> 00:35:16,429
Earth women were quite beautiful.

640
00:35:16,463 --> 00:35:23,202
So, in many occasions, we find
stories where those visitors

641
00:35:23,237 --> 00:35:27,907
essentially mated with Earth women.

642
00:35:27,941 --> 00:35:32,545
It was misinterpreted,
misunderstood as something

643
00:35:32,613 --> 00:35:34,347
divine that came here.

644
00:35:34,381 --> 00:35:38,451
They were flesh-and-blood
extraterrestrials.

645
00:35:38,485 --> 00:35:42,555
Native American folklore
refers to those beings

646
00:35:42,623 --> 00:35:45,358
who came down from the heavens
to breed with Earth women as

647
00:35:45,392 --> 00:35:49,395
Star People.

648
00:35:49,430 --> 00:35:55,101
The Star People are
extraterrestrial people.

649
00:35:55,135 --> 00:36:01,574
They are not from this...
this earth.

650
00:36:01,642 --> 00:36:02,942
They visit.

651
00:36:02,976 --> 00:36:08,748
They are star ancestors.

652
00:36:08,782 --> 00:36:12,585
There's a great deal of, uh,
of interaction between them.

653
00:36:12,653 --> 00:36:18,758
Like some of the American Indian
star husband tales where some

654
00:36:18,826 --> 00:36:21,961
woman sleeping outside at night
looks up at a star and thinks

655
00:36:22,029 --> 00:36:25,131
it's very beautiful and would
like to go there, and winds up

656
00:36:25,232 --> 00:36:28,601
finding herself in the morning
being pulled up into heaven and

657
00:36:28,669 --> 00:36:32,405
meeting with the supernatural
being who was associated with

658
00:36:32,473 --> 00:36:36,142
that star in becoming the
bride of the star husband.

659
00:36:36,210 --> 00:36:40,046
According to Native American
mythology, the brides

660
00:36:40,114 --> 00:36:43,649
of these alien beings would
become pregnant and give birth

661
00:36:43,684 --> 00:36:46,786
to star children.

662
00:36:46,854 --> 00:36:49,322
They would be raised by the
native mother until the age of

663
00:36:49,356 --> 00:36:55,161
six, when they went to live
with their star father.

664
00:36:55,229 --> 00:36:59,966
Similar stories of intimate
encounters between celestial

665
00:37:00,033 --> 00:37:03,336
beings and humans can be
found in ancient Hebrew and

666
00:37:03,370 --> 00:37:07,507
Judeo-Christian testaments
often referred to as The

667
00:37:07,541 --> 00:37:12,345
Pseudepigraph, or what many
refer to as the Apocrypha.

668
00:37:12,379 --> 00:37:15,882
There are lots of instances in the
Pseudepigraph-- these are the

669
00:37:15,949 --> 00:37:18,417
books that didn't make it into
the Bible-- where people are

670
00:37:18,485 --> 00:37:23,122
visited by beings that
aren't from this earth.

671
00:37:23,123 --> 00:37:26,792
Before the Bible became
the Bible of today, there

672
00:37:26,827 --> 00:37:33,332
were many additional books that
used to be a part of the Bible.

673
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:37,703
They were removed in what was
called the Council of Nicaea

674
00:37:37,804 --> 00:37:43,409
because those books contained
too much information, dangerous

675
00:37:43,443 --> 00:37:46,179
knowledge.

676
00:37:46,246 --> 00:37:48,281
In Genesis 6, where
it talks about these

677
00:37:48,348 --> 00:37:52,084
watchers that are kind of angels
that came down from heaven and

678
00:37:52,152 --> 00:37:57,323
had sex with the women of the earth.

679
00:37:57,324 --> 00:38:03,696
These strangers had sex with
beautiful young girls on our planet.

680
00:38:03,730 --> 00:38:06,265
How can angels have sex?

681
00:38:06,333 --> 00:38:07,733
This is impossible.

682
00:38:07,768 --> 00:38:11,270
In our point, in our view,
angels were something spiritual,

683
00:38:11,338 --> 00:38:14,473
not something who has a body,
and has a feeling of sex.

684
00:38:14,541 --> 00:38:16,475
But they had sex.

685
00:38:16,543 --> 00:38:20,546
Our prehistoric ancestors could
not understand, and they believe

686
00:38:20,581 --> 00:38:24,350
that these extraterrestrials
are some kind of gods.

687
00:38:24,384 --> 00:38:27,753
The conception of the Christ.

688
00:38:27,821 --> 00:38:30,389
An angel comes to the holy
mother, to the Virgin Mary, and

689
00:38:30,457 --> 00:38:33,626
tells her that she's going to
be blessed by God with a child.

690
00:38:33,660 --> 00:38:38,097
And then, essentially, she
finds herself pregnant.

691
00:38:38,131 --> 00:38:42,368
There is an angelic reality
point in the New Testament.

692
00:38:42,402 --> 00:38:45,738
And whether it be at the birth
of Jesus, or his resurrection,

693
00:38:45,806 --> 00:38:48,541
we've got the possibility of
other powers from another world

694
00:38:48,575 --> 00:38:51,978
being involved from the
beginning to the end.

695
00:38:51,979 --> 00:38:55,381
The more literal version
is the idea that Jesus

696
00:38:55,449 --> 00:38:59,285
is strictly alien, which, of course,
in a sense, he is as, uh...

697
00:38:59,319 --> 00:39:02,121
You know, even if you take
him as the son of God, then

698
00:39:02,155 --> 00:39:05,725
obviously, he is not of this earth.

699
00:39:05,759 --> 00:39:09,829
I tend to believe that Jesus
was a very spiritual human

700
00:39:09,863 --> 00:39:14,500
being who understood a lot of
things that we're beginning to

701
00:39:14,568 --> 00:39:15,935
learn today.

702
00:39:15,969 --> 00:39:18,738
But it's also very possible
that he might have been an

703
00:39:18,772 --> 00:39:22,675
extraterrestrial who came
down to teach us things.

704
00:39:22,743 --> 00:39:32,585
That divine intelligence is very
real in some form or fashion.

705
00:39:32,653 --> 00:39:36,422
Tales of gods mating with
humans are prevalent

706
00:39:36,456 --> 00:39:38,791
in everything from Greek and
Roman mythology to Native

707
00:39:38,859 --> 00:39:42,428
American legends.

708
00:39:42,496 --> 00:39:47,500
In China, at the end of the
fifth century BC, the country

709
00:39:47,601 --> 00:39:51,771
was divided into seven states,
each ruled by powerful warlords

710
00:39:51,805 --> 00:39:55,141
who battled for territory and power.

711
00:39:55,208 --> 00:39:59,679
It was during this turbulent era
when the legendary story of

712
00:39:59,780 --> 00:40:03,783
Huangdi first appeared.

713
00:40:03,817 --> 00:40:08,054
A great god took the form
of a dragon, came down to a

714
00:40:08,121 --> 00:40:12,325
hilltop where a young maiden
was out gathering fruit.

715
00:40:12,392 --> 00:40:16,162
And as this great dragon
came near, the sky darkened.

716
00:40:16,229 --> 00:40:17,596
It was like a storm.

717
00:40:17,631 --> 00:40:20,166
She was terrified, and she passed out.

718
00:40:20,233 --> 00:40:24,503
When she came awake again, uh,
the sun had come out again, and

719
00:40:24,538 --> 00:40:28,808
the dragon was gone,
and she was pregnant.

720
00:40:28,842 --> 00:40:31,977
Much like the story of the
Virgin Mary and Jesus,

721
00:40:32,012 --> 00:40:36,082
the story of Huangdi told of an
earthling woman who would give

722
00:40:36,149 --> 00:40:39,585
birth to him-- the legendary
first emperor of China who

723
00:40:39,653 --> 00:40:42,388
ushered in a time of great change.

724
00:40:42,422 --> 00:40:45,658
Gods deliberately bred with
humans so that they could

725
00:40:45,692 --> 00:40:48,794
produce, they could get a race
that they could trust and

726
00:40:48,862 --> 00:40:51,230
control a little bit better.

727
00:40:51,231 --> 00:40:55,968
In my mind, legends and-and myths
are based on something real--

728
00:40:56,002 --> 00:41:01,507
while they have been mythified
and distorted and exaggerated,

729
00:41:01,575 --> 00:41:08,047
in many cases-- but there is, in
my mind, some core of truth here.

730
00:41:08,148 --> 00:41:11,217
Another prevalent theme
in ancient texts, myths,

731
00:41:11,251 --> 00:41:16,489
and religions is that of a
cataclysm of some kind.

732
00:41:16,523 --> 00:41:20,993
Usually, these come in the form
of an intense flood, fire, or

733
00:41:21,027 --> 00:41:24,330
other devastating catastrophe.

734
00:41:24,398 --> 00:41:29,034
In the Hebrew Bible, for
example, God punishes mankind

735
00:41:29,069 --> 00:41:31,871
for their decadence and sinful ways.

736
00:41:31,905 --> 00:41:36,542
He sends punishment in the
form of a great flood...

737
00:41:36,610 --> 00:41:41,714
which destroys nearly all living
things on the planet, except for

738
00:41:41,748 --> 00:41:47,820
Noah, his family, and the
animals rescued aboard his ark.

739
00:41:47,888 --> 00:41:52,725
Similar stories can be found
in numerous ancient texts.

740
00:41:52,759 --> 00:41:56,595
Many of the mythical tales
of most civilizations

741
00:41:56,630 --> 00:42:00,699
include some kind of idea that
there are gods that came to

742
00:42:00,734 --> 00:42:04,270
Earth at some point.

743
00:42:07,307 --> 00:42:12,111
One interpretation has been that
these are literal descriptions

744
00:42:12,145 --> 00:42:13,279
of visitors from space.

745
00:42:13,313 --> 00:42:18,284
Not gods, but some creatures of...
with advanced technology

746
00:42:18,385 --> 00:42:21,387
that came to Earth in times
past, and either created

747
00:42:21,421 --> 00:42:25,925
mankind, brought culture to the
Earth, brought civilization, and

748
00:42:25,992 --> 00:42:30,729
then, for some reason, departed,
usually under some kind of

749
00:42:30,797 --> 00:42:37,002
breach between mankind and the gods.

750
00:42:37,003 --> 00:42:40,306
Take the case of the
once-thriving Mesoamerican

751
00:42:40,340 --> 00:42:42,908
cultures of the Aztecs and the Mayans.

752
00:42:42,943 --> 00:42:49,849
By the year 1500 AD, they
had all but vanished.

753
00:42:49,916 --> 00:42:51,116
But why?

754
00:42:51,184 --> 00:42:54,286
Was there a natural
disaster of some kind?

755
00:42:54,354 --> 00:42:59,291
Or is there another, more
otherworldly explanation?

756
00:42:59,359 --> 00:43:07,500
At some point, it all crashed
in a cataclysmic disaster.

757
00:43:07,534 --> 00:43:11,303
And the world, as they
knew it, came to an end.

758
00:43:11,371 --> 00:43:17,309
And tidal waves washed
across continents.

759
00:43:17,377 --> 00:43:21,146
Areas of the planet went under water.

760
00:43:21,214 --> 00:43:23,849
And the megalithic building that
was going on then, too, also

761
00:43:23,950 --> 00:43:25,551
completely stopped.

762
00:43:25,585 --> 00:43:28,954
And it's what we see at certain areas.

763
00:43:28,989 --> 00:43:33,859
Like in Peru, where giant blocks
of granite have been quarried

764
00:43:33,894 --> 00:43:38,330
and partially moved to
where they were going.

765
00:43:38,398 --> 00:43:45,504
But then it all came to a
sudden, complete halt.

766
00:43:47,674 --> 00:43:51,977
For nearly 3,000 years,
the Mayan civilization

767
00:43:52,045 --> 00:43:54,213
thrived in Central America.

768
00:43:54,247 --> 00:43:56,982
Among their many
accomplishments, the ancient

769
00:43:57,050 --> 00:44:02,388
Maya invented a remarkably
complex and accurate calendar.

770
00:44:02,422 --> 00:44:09,395
According to scholars, the calendar
started on August 11, 3114 BC.

771
00:44:09,429 --> 00:44:13,766
The first calendar cycle
ends about 5,000 years later

772
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:17,770
on December 21, 2012.

773
00:44:17,804 --> 00:44:19,672
But why?

774
00:44:19,706 --> 00:44:23,075
Did the Mayans know something
about mankind's future--

775
00:44:23,176 --> 00:44:27,079
something we have forgotten
or chosen to ignore?

776
00:44:27,180 --> 00:44:29,615
There's a lot of excitement
being generated now

777
00:44:29,683 --> 00:44:35,454
about the Mayan calendar
ending in year 2012, and if

778
00:44:35,488 --> 00:44:40,259
there is such a cataclysm or
some massive Earth change that's

779
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,161
suddenly going to occur.

780
00:44:42,228 --> 00:44:46,432
And so the idea that ancient
people, like the Mayans say,

781
00:44:46,466 --> 00:44:51,103
were somehow totally in tune
with this and had knowledge

782
00:44:51,171 --> 00:44:56,742
of these kind of vast cosmic
cycles, which apparently led

783
00:44:56,776 --> 00:45:00,179
to cataclysmic changes on
the Earth, that's the kind

784
00:45:00,246 --> 00:45:04,750
of advanced knowledge that we
wouldn't expect them to have.

785
00:45:04,818 --> 00:45:07,486
And where would they get
that kind of knowledge?

786
00:45:07,487 --> 00:45:11,090
You would think that would have
to come from extraterrestrials.

787
00:45:11,157 --> 00:45:13,892
If we accept the notion
that alien beings

788
00:45:13,927 --> 00:45:18,197
left behind the Mayan calendar
as some type of ancient advanced

789
00:45:18,264 --> 00:45:21,834
warning device, might they
have left other astronomical

790
00:45:21,901 --> 00:45:24,470
instruments here on Earth?

791
00:45:24,571 --> 00:45:27,940
And if so, why was it so
important for ancient

792
00:45:28,008 --> 00:45:33,746
civilizations to track the stars?

793
00:45:37,095 --> 00:45:40,531
The stars.

794
00:45:40,565 --> 00:45:44,368
Since the beginning of time, man
has gazed in wonder at the night

795
00:45:44,436 --> 00:45:46,370
sky.

796
00:45:46,438 --> 00:45:52,276
Stars became the stuff of
legends, home of the gods and

797
00:45:52,377 --> 00:45:56,113
sometimes, man's final resting place.

798
00:45:56,181 --> 00:45:59,984
It is no surprise then that
ancient man built monuments

799
00:46:00,018 --> 00:46:04,121
dedicated to these celestial wonders.

800
00:46:04,122 --> 00:46:06,557
When we look at ancient
monuments around the

801
00:46:06,625 --> 00:46:10,094
world-- these Mesolithic
structures-- we find that many

802
00:46:10,161 --> 00:46:17,301
of them are aligned
astronomically to the sun,

803
00:46:17,369 --> 00:46:24,008
to planets, to stars...
Numerous examples can be listed.

804
00:46:24,042 --> 00:46:30,914
Stonehenge is essentially an
ancient astronomical observatory.

805
00:46:30,949 --> 00:46:34,318
Guess it may have been used
for ritualistic purposes.

806
00:46:34,386 --> 00:46:37,588
It may have been used
for religious purposes.

807
00:46:37,622 --> 00:46:40,824
But it's very clear that it was
also used for astronomical

808
00:46:40,859 --> 00:46:43,694
purposes, for observations.

809
00:46:43,695 --> 00:46:48,365
We're not surprised
whether it's Stonehenge,

810
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:52,936
pyramids, or perhaps the Nazca
Lines that ancient people

811
00:46:52,971 --> 00:46:56,040
understood events that were
going to happen in the sky, and

812
00:46:56,107 --> 00:46:59,109
when they would repeat.

813
00:46:59,110 --> 00:47:04,214
But why was ancient man
so fixated on the sky?

814
00:47:04,282 --> 00:47:06,850
And why did they construct
elaborate stone monuments and

815
00:47:06,951 --> 00:47:11,689
temples in order to track
the movements of the stars?

816
00:47:11,790 --> 00:47:15,959
Was it simply to help farmers
know when to plant their crops?

817
00:47:15,994 --> 00:47:20,764
Or might there have been another,
perhaps more profound purpose?

818
00:47:20,799 --> 00:47:25,402
Could they, as some believe,
have been constructed as a type

819
00:47:25,437 --> 00:47:30,140
of extraterrestrial GPS system?

820
00:47:32,877 --> 00:47:35,679
Nabta Playa, Egypt.

821
00:47:35,714 --> 00:47:40,317
500 miles south of Cairo in
Egypt's Nubian Desert sits

822
00:47:40,351 --> 00:47:45,422
one of the oldest astronomical
sites ever discovered.

823
00:47:45,523 --> 00:47:51,495
In 1974, archaeologist Fred
Wendorf almost passed it by

824
00:47:51,529 --> 00:47:57,034
before noticing its small stone
artifacts and toppled rocks.

825
00:47:57,035 --> 00:47:59,169
It's a very strange site.

826
00:47:59,237 --> 00:48:04,508
It's just strange stone formations,
circles, uh, stone alignments.

827
00:48:04,509 --> 00:48:10,347
Bizarre trigger lines with
strange rocks and others.

828
00:48:10,381 --> 00:48:13,450
Later excavations put the
date of the astronomical

829
00:48:13,518 --> 00:48:19,990
device at approximately 5000 BC,
making it close to 1,000 years

830
00:48:20,058 --> 00:48:24,261
older than the remarkably similar
formation at Stonehenge.

831
00:48:24,295 --> 00:48:26,463
When they brought an astronomer
there, they realized

832
00:48:26,531 --> 00:48:30,701
that it was a ceremonial site,
very intensely astronomical.

833
00:48:30,735 --> 00:48:34,171
The intriguing thing about this
site is that it shows that they

834
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:37,908
were tracking stars over
thousands of years.

835
00:48:37,942 --> 00:48:40,878
And to track stars over that
period, they must have have been

836
00:48:40,912 --> 00:48:43,180
aware of what we call
"precession," which means they

837
00:48:43,248 --> 00:48:47,284
weren't simply astronomers,
or ancient astronomers.

838
00:48:47,318 --> 00:48:51,922
They were very
sophisticated astronomers.

839
00:48:51,956 --> 00:48:54,725
Could the people who
built Nabta Playa 7,000

840
00:48:54,793 --> 00:48:58,462
years ago have possessed
an advanced understanding

841
00:48:58,563 --> 00:49:00,564
of physics and astronomy?

842
00:49:00,598 --> 00:49:04,468
One that rivals or, perhaps,
surpasses our own?

843
00:49:04,569 --> 00:49:10,841
And why were they tracking
Orion and Sirius?

844
00:49:10,909 --> 00:49:16,079
In 1994, the mystery of Nabta
Playa took on even greater

845
00:49:16,114 --> 00:49:19,650
significance when Robert
Bauval announced a surprising

846
00:49:19,751 --> 00:49:25,823
discovery along Egypt's Giza Plateau.

847
00:49:25,890 --> 00:49:30,360
The Great Pyramid contained
four long interior shafts.

848
00:49:30,428 --> 00:49:34,097
Bauval determined that they
were each precisely aligned

849
00:49:34,165 --> 00:49:38,101
with specific stars in the sky.

850
00:49:38,136 --> 00:49:43,807
The southerones aligned to the
belt of Orion and to Sirius,

851
00:49:43,908 --> 00:49:47,177
and the northern ones aligned
to the second pole stars.

852
00:49:47,245 --> 00:49:49,746
Again, this is very intriguing.

853
00:49:49,814 --> 00:49:54,284
In terms of construction engineering,
that's, that's bull's-eye.

854
00:49:54,319 --> 00:49:58,355
As an engineer, I know that it's
one thing building a pyramid.

855
00:49:58,389 --> 00:50:00,624
But it's another thing building
a pyramid with that kind

856
00:50:00,658 --> 00:50:02,259
of precision.

857
00:50:02,293 --> 00:50:05,662
Bauval also proved that the
three pyramids of Giza

858
00:50:05,730 --> 00:50:09,433
were laid out in the precise
order and position of the three

859
00:50:09,467 --> 00:50:12,669
stars of the Orion's
Belt constellation.

860
00:50:12,737 --> 00:50:16,306
But what exactly is the
significance of the shaft

861
00:50:16,341 --> 00:50:23,180
alignment and the layout of
the pyramids themselves?

862
00:50:23,214 --> 00:50:25,015
I mean, we're deciphering a message.

863
00:50:25,049 --> 00:50:27,451
The question is whether it is
religious or whether it is

864
00:50:27,485 --> 00:50:28,819
a stellar message.

865
00:50:28,853 --> 00:50:32,556
The fact is that what we have
on the ground is an image of a

866
00:50:32,590 --> 00:50:39,863
constellation that we know now
is the birthplace of stars.

867
00:50:39,931 --> 00:50:42,566
Literally, stars are being born there.

868
00:50:42,634 --> 00:50:45,836
And the Egyptians themselves
believed that their gods had

869
00:50:45,870 --> 00:50:50,741
descended from the stars.

870
00:50:50,742 --> 00:50:52,676
That could be either a
knowledge of ancient

871
00:50:52,710 --> 00:50:57,581
astronomy, or it could also be a
road map to where these E.T.s

872
00:50:57,649 --> 00:50:59,750
may have come from.

873
00:50:59,751 --> 00:51:02,219
But why were the ancients
so fixated on the

874
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:06,023
Orion and Sirius constellations?

875
00:51:06,057 --> 00:51:08,959
Some believe the answer can
be found on the other side

876
00:51:09,027 --> 00:51:12,396
of the world in North America.

877
00:51:14,666 --> 00:51:19,036
Cholula, Mexico is home to the
largest pyramid in the world.

878
00:51:19,070 --> 00:51:23,607
More than 3,000 years old,
it is estimated that it took

879
00:51:23,675 --> 00:51:26,543
approximately 1,400 years to complete.

880
00:51:26,544 --> 00:51:29,246
Even though the Cholula
Pyramid doesn't look

881
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:33,750
like much because of the
overgrown jungle, it is in fact

882
00:51:33,785 --> 00:51:41,158
the world's largest monument
ever constructed by human hands.

883
00:51:41,159 --> 00:51:44,594
In fact, the volume of the
Cholula pyramid-- the whole

884
00:51:44,696 --> 00:51:49,800
pyramid complex-- is 4.
45 million cubic meters.

885
00:51:49,867 --> 00:51:56,873
The great pyramid in Egypt only has 2.5
million cubic meters

886
00:51:56,908 --> 00:51:59,710
in volume.

887
00:51:59,744 --> 00:52:04,614
So, the great pyramid at Giza
is way taller than the Cholula

888
00:52:04,716 --> 00:52:10,354
Pyramid, but volume-wise, the
Cholula Pyramid is, by far,

889
00:52:10,421 --> 00:52:18,061
the largest man-made structure
ever created on planet Earth.

890
00:52:20,164 --> 00:52:23,367
Originally built by the
Olmecs in the third century

891
00:52:23,434 --> 00:52:27,637
BC, it was later added on to and
used by the Toltecs and the

892
00:52:27,739 --> 00:52:35,645
Aztecs as a place of religious
ritual and human sacrifice.

893
00:52:35,713 --> 00:52:39,016
But along with its history of
bloodshed, an examination of the

894
00:52:39,083 --> 00:52:42,519
pyramid reveals that the ancient
cultures of the region had

895
00:52:42,553 --> 00:52:46,356
a remarkable understanding
of astronomy.

896
00:52:46,424 --> 00:52:50,093
It's interesting to
consider what the Aztec

897
00:52:50,161 --> 00:52:53,830
people thought about its origins.

898
00:52:53,831 --> 00:52:59,102
They did not think it was built
by humans, like us, which is

899
00:52:59,170 --> 00:53:02,005
our theory today.

900
00:53:02,006 --> 00:53:06,743
According to the ancient Aztec
tradition, the Cholula Pyramid

901
00:53:06,811 --> 00:53:13,717
was built by a being
they called a "giant."

902
00:53:13,751 --> 00:53:18,855
If you look at the Aztec
cosmology, you'll see that

903
00:53:18,890 --> 00:53:24,728
these giant beings were identified
with different celestial objects.

904
00:53:24,762 --> 00:53:29,866
The one in particular that is
said to have built the Cholula

905
00:53:29,934 --> 00:53:35,305
Pyramid is identified
with the planet Venus.

906
00:53:38,009 --> 00:53:40,844
Both the Aztecs and the
ancient Egyptians charted

907
00:53:40,912 --> 00:53:43,914
most of the planets in the solar
system thousands of years

908
00:53:43,948 --> 00:53:46,216
before European astronomers.

909
00:53:46,250 --> 00:53:47,918
But why?

910
00:53:47,952 --> 00:53:52,022
And even more compelling is the
fact that the two cultures were

911
00:53:52,056 --> 00:53:56,660
thousands of miles and
half a world apart.

912
00:53:56,694 --> 00:53:58,929
Mainstream archaeologists
are telling us

913
00:53:58,963 --> 00:54:01,965
that all these civilizations
around the world-- in the

914
00:54:02,033 --> 00:54:05,102
Americas, on remote Pacific
islands, in Asia and Africa and

915
00:54:05,136 --> 00:54:07,938
Europe-- that they're all
disconnected with each other,

916
00:54:08,039 --> 00:54:11,208
and that there wasn't some
contact with South America, and

917
00:54:11,242 --> 00:54:16,880
Egypt, or any of these
ancient civilizations.

918
00:54:16,881 --> 00:54:19,483
But really, it has to be
the other way around.

919
00:54:19,550 --> 00:54:24,921
All of these ancient civilizations
were connected in some way.

920
00:54:24,922 --> 00:54:28,291
But were these holy sites,
as ancient astronaut

921
00:54:28,359 --> 00:54:32,095
proponents suggest, really
connected to each other?

922
00:54:32,130 --> 00:54:34,498
And if so, why?

923
00:54:34,565 --> 00:54:38,034
Are they evidence of
aliens coming to earth?

924
00:54:38,035 --> 00:54:40,203
Whoa, I'm getting a series
of lights right there.

925
00:54:40,271 --> 00:54:42,105
I got it, I got it, I got it.

926
00:54:42,140 --> 00:54:44,774
These reports that we continue
to get from people of

927
00:54:44,842 --> 00:54:49,412
E.T. visitations and craft,
clearly points out to me that

928
00:54:49,447 --> 00:54:50,413
we're being visited.

929
00:54:50,481 --> 00:54:51,481
And we have been visited.

930
00:54:51,549 --> 00:54:53,550
Oh, there it is-- over to the left.

931
00:54:53,584 --> 00:54:57,420
They may have physically left the
planet, in terms of a civilization.

932
00:54:57,455 --> 00:55:01,224
But they-- they're continuing
to come back and monitor us for

933
00:55:01,292 --> 00:55:02,225
some reason.

934
00:55:02,293 --> 00:55:04,227
Dude...
Wow.

935
00:55:04,295 --> 00:55:05,195
...they're back.

936
00:55:05,229 --> 00:55:06,196
More appeared, bro.

937
00:55:06,230 --> 00:55:10,767
If aliens are watching us today,
what are they waiting for?

938
00:55:10,868 --> 00:55:15,572
Or, as some claim, have they
already left messages for us in

939
00:55:15,606 --> 00:55:18,575
plain view?

940
00:55:23,921 --> 00:55:28,959
90 miles west of London, in the
county of Wiltshire, the English

941
00:55:28,993 --> 00:55:32,896
countryside remains pretty much
as it has for thousands of years.

942
00:55:32,930 --> 00:55:37,834
Small farms, stone walls, , and
rolling green hills provide

943
00:55:37,902 --> 00:55:43,774
inhabitants with an environment
of peace and stability.

944
00:55:43,841 --> 00:55:48,145
This historic region is also
home to a large number of

945
00:55:48,146 --> 00:55:52,516
ancient sacred sites, many
built thousands of years ago.

946
00:55:52,517 --> 00:55:56,486
It's an ancient, sacred landscape
where most of them occur.

947
00:55:56,521 --> 00:55:58,955
There are monuments that you
know about: Stonehenge,

948
00:55:58,990 --> 00:56:01,992
Avebury, Silbury Hill.

949
00:56:01,993 --> 00:56:05,062
This is one small area that
seems to be a manipulated

950
00:56:05,129 --> 00:56:07,964
landscape that was done
thousands of years ago where

951
00:56:08,032 --> 00:56:10,967
sacred rituals have taken place.

952
00:56:14,872 --> 00:56:19,142
But in 1978, Wiltshire's
tranquil landscape

953
00:56:19,177 --> 00:56:24,881
became the focus of a controversy
that persists to this day.

954
00:56:27,218 --> 00:56:31,588
Today alongside the tracks of
farm machinery, a new set of

955
00:56:31,622 --> 00:56:33,023
circles were found.

956
00:56:33,057 --> 00:56:37,861
No human tracks lead to the markings.

957
00:56:40,064 --> 00:56:44,134
There, carved in fields
of wheat, barley, and rye

958
00:56:44,168 --> 00:56:48,138
were elaborate geometric patterns.

959
00:56:48,172 --> 00:56:52,509
Even more curious was the fact
that much like the famed Nazca

960
00:56:52,577 --> 00:56:57,581
Lines of Peru, the designs were
only visible from the air.

961
00:56:57,648 --> 00:57:00,317
When you see it for the first
time, you go, "What in

962
00:57:00,351 --> 00:57:01,718
the world is that doing there?"

963
00:57:01,752 --> 00:57:05,789
I mean, it's obviously not natural.

964
00:57:05,790 --> 00:57:08,525
There have been cases that
have been traced back

965
00:57:08,559 --> 00:57:11,595
for hundreds of years--
so-called mowing devil, where

966
00:57:11,629 --> 00:57:15,499
apparently some sort of a devil
supposedly mowed a field in a

967
00:57:15,533 --> 00:57:16,700
single night.

968
00:57:16,734 --> 00:57:20,237
But they became recognized as
a phenomenon only when these

969
00:57:20,271 --> 00:57:24,441
circles started appearing
in English wheat fields.

970
00:57:24,442 --> 00:57:26,910
They were very simple things at first.

971
00:57:27,011 --> 00:57:29,946
And, well-- but they kept
occurring year after year, and

972
00:57:29,947 --> 00:57:32,549
each year they seemed to get
a little more elaborate.

973
00:57:32,583 --> 00:57:35,018
One of the early theories was
that there was some kind of

974
00:57:35,086 --> 00:57:37,053
whirlwind that was making them.

975
00:57:37,088 --> 00:57:39,789
But as they became more
elaborate, they also became

976
00:57:39,824 --> 00:57:43,927
associated with paranormal
activity, particularly UFOs.

977
00:57:43,995 --> 00:57:47,197
Some people said they saw a
light in the field at night.

978
00:57:47,265 --> 00:57:51,902
And some people that-- began
to read that was a UFO presence.

979
00:57:51,903 --> 00:57:54,504
This circle in a Wiltshire
field is just one of

980
00:57:54,539 --> 00:57:59,242
200 such markings to have been
discovered in the last six weeks.

981
00:57:59,343 --> 00:58:02,712
To farmers and scientists, how
they're formed or by whom

982
00:58:02,747 --> 00:58:05,382
remains a big mystery.

983
00:58:05,383 --> 00:58:08,451
Not surprisingly, the
region became the focus of

984
00:58:08,519 --> 00:58:11,955
intense interest from UFO
enthusiasts and skeptics,

985
00:58:11,956 --> 00:58:17,093
each offering explanations as to
who or what was responsible for

986
00:58:17,128 --> 00:58:20,363
this strange phenomenon.

987
00:58:20,431 --> 00:58:23,967
But if in fact, alien beings
from another planet were

988
00:58:24,001 --> 00:58:28,071
responsible for the crop
circles, why were they making

989
00:58:28,105 --> 00:58:29,706
them in England?

990
00:58:29,740 --> 00:58:34,077
Were they trying to contact us
or were there clues embedded in

991
00:58:34,145 --> 00:58:35,612
the designs?

992
00:58:35,646 --> 00:58:39,015
And was the proximity to
Stonehenge and other ancient

993
00:58:39,083 --> 00:58:42,319
sites of any particular significance?

994
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:44,621
So you have the idea of
these earth energies,

995
00:58:44,655 --> 00:58:47,557
and these ancient structures,
and then the crop circles are

996
00:58:47,625 --> 00:58:50,627
appearing around them.

997
00:58:50,628 --> 00:58:53,997
And many of the crop circles
appear to be some kind of

998
00:58:54,065 --> 00:58:56,366
signals and ancient writing.

999
00:58:56,434 --> 00:58:59,736
The crop circles are calling
us back to a time before

1000
00:58:59,804 --> 00:59:03,740
science and spirit got
separated, when we were whole;

1001
00:59:03,808 --> 00:59:05,208
we had a sense of wholeness.

1002
00:59:05,276 --> 00:59:08,545
And here, they're landing near
sacred sites that are from an

1003
00:59:08,579 --> 00:59:12,282
ancient time when we did
experience those things.

1004
00:59:12,283 --> 00:59:18,288
When I saw the first photographs, I was...
haunted, actually.

1005
00:59:18,289 --> 00:59:20,757
Are these extraterrestrials
doing this?

1006
00:59:20,791 --> 00:59:25,395
Are we dealing with somebody who
knows how to bend space and time?

1007
00:59:25,463 --> 00:59:29,132
Our entire relationship with the
universe and quantum physics--

1008
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:35,105
in all of its complexities--
has been pushed hard by crop

1009
00:59:35,139 --> 00:59:39,009
formations alone.

1010
00:59:39,043 --> 00:59:44,481
Certainly it is one theory that
extraterrestrials are trying to

1011
00:59:44,548 --> 00:59:49,119
communicate in a big way
through popular media.

1012
00:59:49,186 --> 00:59:52,188
Crop circles do get in
newspapers all over the world.

1013
00:59:52,223 --> 00:59:53,590
Perhaps that's what they want.

1014
00:59:53,658 --> 00:59:56,493
These are being carefully designed.

1015
00:59:56,494 --> 00:59:59,396
They're not accidental-- both,
in terms of the shape, and where

1016
00:59:59,463 --> 01:00:00,664
they land.

1017
01:00:00,698 --> 01:00:01,865
These aren't accidents.

1018
01:00:01,966 --> 01:00:05,735
There's a mind behind this
that's making these decisions.

1019
01:00:05,770 --> 01:00:07,737
Where is that mind?

1020
01:00:07,772 --> 01:00:10,740
What kind of body is it in?

1021
01:00:14,545 --> 01:00:18,048
Scientists struggled
to find an explanation

1022
01:00:18,082 --> 01:00:22,652
for the phenomenon, until in
1991, two self-proclaimed

1023
01:00:22,687 --> 01:00:26,423
British pranksters, Doug Bower
and Dave Chorley, came forward

1024
01:00:26,490 --> 01:00:31,261
and proclaimed that they
were the ones responsible.

1025
01:00:31,262 --> 01:00:34,164
They showed how they could
make crop circles in a

1026
01:00:34,231 --> 01:00:37,067
single night using some
very simple tools.

1027
01:00:37,168 --> 01:00:40,170
And at the time, people said,
"Well, that must be the

1028
01:00:40,237 --> 01:00:41,504
explanation for it."

1029
01:00:41,572 --> 01:00:44,174
Nevertheless, some
researchers remain skeptical

1030
01:00:44,241 --> 01:00:48,945
that a single pair of elderly men
could have created literally

1031
01:00:48,979 --> 01:00:53,249
hundreds of designs in the dead
of night with little more than a

1032
01:00:53,351 --> 01:00:55,085
few boards and some rope.

1033
01:00:55,119 --> 01:00:57,420
You know, it was very effective.

1034
01:00:57,521 --> 01:01:00,357
You still will run into people--
"Crop circles-- oh, forget about

1035
01:01:00,424 --> 01:01:01,358
them.

1036
01:01:01,425 --> 01:01:03,893
Those two old guys made a...
come on, don't be so naive!

1037
01:01:03,961 --> 01:01:06,229
They-they were done by those
two old guys years ago.

1038
01:01:06,263 --> 01:01:08,698
What are you paying
attention to them anymore?"

1039
01:01:08,733 --> 01:01:12,535
Very effective piece
of disinformation.

1040
01:01:12,570 --> 01:01:15,138
During the years that
followed Bower and

1041
01:01:15,172 --> 01:01:18,541
Chorley's confession, crop
circles continued to appear in

1042
01:01:18,609 --> 01:01:23,613
the English countryside and at
various locations around the world.

1043
01:01:23,647 --> 01:01:28,184
Some were inarguably the work
of artists or jokesters.

1044
01:01:28,252 --> 01:01:31,821
But after studying soil samples
and grain dispersion patterns

1045
01:01:31,889 --> 01:01:35,892
in the disturbed farmland,
researchers concluded that it

1046
01:01:35,926 --> 01:01:39,362
would be impossible for all of
these designs to be man-made.

1047
01:01:39,430 --> 01:01:42,098
Well, in what we would
consider to be a

1048
01:01:42,166 --> 01:01:44,267
mysterious crop circle, where
we can't identify it being made

1049
01:01:44,335 --> 01:01:46,336
by people-- the lay is
absolutely beautiful.

1050
01:01:46,370 --> 01:01:47,370
The lay of the crop.

1051
01:01:47,438 --> 01:01:50,106
It's like a million carpet
layers came down, and put these

1052
01:01:50,174 --> 01:01:54,110
stalks of grain down, right
parallel to one another.

1053
01:01:54,178 --> 01:01:56,746
It's just a gorgeous thing to behold.

1054
01:01:56,814 --> 01:01:59,282
When the hoaxers make them, they
tend to be sloppy and messy

1055
01:01:59,316 --> 01:02:01,918
because they're not...
they haven't got that same force.

1056
01:02:01,986 --> 01:02:04,921
They're doing handmade
manipulation, which doesn't lay

1057
01:02:04,955 --> 01:02:08,658
them down quite as beautifully.

1058
01:02:08,692 --> 01:02:13,396
In 1991, noted biophysicist Dr.
William

1059
01:02:13,464 --> 01:02:17,267
Levengood put forth a
startling new theory.

1060
01:02:17,301 --> 01:02:20,570
After spending ten years
studying crop circle sites and

1061
01:02:20,638 --> 01:02:25,175
samples, he concluded that they
were created by a complex energy

1062
01:02:25,209 --> 01:02:29,345
system, which he called a
spinning plasma vortex that

1063
01:02:29,413 --> 01:02:34,551
comes down from somewhere
high up in the atmosphere.

1064
01:02:37,188 --> 01:02:41,424
Biophysicist Levengood has
now analyzed 350-some

1065
01:02:41,459 --> 01:02:45,495
samples from crop
formations in his career.

1066
01:02:45,529 --> 01:02:49,165
Now, if Levengood were sitting
here with me, he would say, "All

1067
01:02:49,233 --> 01:02:53,970
I can do is, I can take you from
the ground-- I can take you from

1068
01:02:54,071 --> 01:02:56,606
the crops, up.

1069
01:02:56,674 --> 01:03:00,810
But I can't tell you what sets
in motion that spinning plasma

1070
01:03:00,878 --> 01:03:03,813
vortex in the first place.

1071
01:03:03,881 --> 01:03:07,717
It's still a huge mystery."

1072
01:03:07,718 --> 01:03:10,253
The anomalous things that
happen inside crop circles

1073
01:03:10,287 --> 01:03:12,789
are in fact one of the
indications that you're in a

1074
01:03:12,823 --> 01:03:17,160
so-called genuine circle because
indeed the weirdest things happen.

1075
01:03:17,194 --> 01:03:19,162
Batteries fail-- brand-new batteries.

1076
01:03:19,263 --> 01:03:20,497
People go in with cameras.

1077
01:03:20,531 --> 01:03:21,998
Cell phones don't work.

1078
01:03:22,066 --> 01:03:24,167
There have been people
who have started reading

1079
01:03:24,201 --> 01:03:27,170
all kinds of messages
into these crop circles.

1080
01:03:27,204 --> 01:03:30,440
Uh, that they have some kind of
digital significance that-that

1081
01:03:30,508 --> 01:03:31,708
you can read.

1082
01:03:31,742 --> 01:03:34,878
There's a kind of numerology, and
there'll be a kind of message.

1083
01:03:34,912 --> 01:03:39,549
People are really reading
something into it.

1084
01:03:39,617 --> 01:03:42,452
In terms of who or what
is delivering them-- we

1085
01:03:42,486 --> 01:03:43,720
have no way to know that.

1086
01:03:43,787 --> 01:03:47,657
We only have science fiction that
tells us what's coming to visit us.

1087
01:03:47,725 --> 01:03:51,194
So, we have to just speculate about
where this might be coming from.

1088
01:03:51,262 --> 01:03:55,098
We have to wait for whatever the
source is to introduce itself to us.

1089
01:03:55,099 --> 01:03:58,368
Are we dealing with time travelers?

1090
01:03:58,402 --> 01:04:01,638
Are we dealing with spiritual
forces from some dimension

1091
01:04:01,672 --> 01:04:03,673
we don't understand?

1092
01:04:03,674 --> 01:04:06,709
Are we dealing with advanced
intelligences that are not even

1093
01:04:06,744 --> 01:04:10,179
in this galaxy, that are
from someplace else?

1094
01:04:10,214 --> 01:04:13,182
And is this a form of communication?

1095
01:04:13,217 --> 01:04:15,985
The conversations keep getting
more and more complicated.

1096
01:04:16,020 --> 01:04:18,221
Crop circles are contact.

1097
01:04:18,255 --> 01:04:19,222
We are being contacted.

1098
01:04:19,256 --> 01:04:21,891
Just because we don't have the
bodies to shake hands with, we

1099
01:04:21,959 --> 01:04:24,727
have the evidence that
the bodies have left us.

1100
01:04:24,795 --> 01:04:27,263
I'm absolutely convinced that
crop circles are evidence of

1101
01:04:27,331 --> 01:04:28,531
intelligent life.

1102
01:04:28,566 --> 01:04:32,502
There is intelligence bombarding
us, winking at us, waving.

1103
01:04:32,536 --> 01:04:37,540
Are these mysterious crop
circles messages or warnings?

1104
01:04:37,641 --> 01:04:41,911
Or might they have another,
perhaps more profound, purpose?

1105
01:04:41,979 --> 01:04:46,082
Could they be futuristic clues
guiding us to our ultimate

1106
01:04:46,150 --> 01:04:51,888
destiny or ancient symbols
paving the way for our ultimate

1107
01:04:51,922 --> 01:04:55,191
destruction?

1108
01:04:58,225 --> 01:05:02,294
Belize, Central America.

1109
01:05:02,329 --> 01:05:06,866
In 1924 British adventurer
Frederick Mitchell-Hedges

1110
01:05:06,900 --> 01:05:10,936
traveled here with his daughter
Anna to explore the ruins of the

1111
01:05:10,971 --> 01:05:13,973
ancient Mayan city of Lubaantun.

1112
01:05:14,041 --> 01:05:18,244
One afternoon Anna climbed to
the top of a crumbling pyramid,

1113
01:05:18,311 --> 01:05:20,046
hoping to see the ocean.

1114
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:22,615
It was high noon and she
was at the top, and the

1115
01:05:22,649 --> 01:05:25,785
way the sun came in, the way the
rocks had moved in that there

1116
01:05:25,819 --> 01:05:28,421
was just a small opening and the
light from the sun went through

1117
01:05:28,488 --> 01:05:31,524
and it hit the top of the skull,
and she ran down and she's all

1118
01:05:31,591 --> 01:05:33,592
excited.

1119
01:05:33,593 --> 01:05:36,395
She said "There's someone in
there with a flashlight."

1120
01:05:36,430 --> 01:05:39,799
Anna's father and others
in their party were too

1121
01:05:39,833 --> 01:05:43,803
large to fit inside the small
opening of the pyramid, so they

1122
01:05:43,870 --> 01:05:48,541
tied a rope around Anna and
lowered her into the hole.

1123
01:05:48,575 --> 01:05:53,979
When she came back up, Anna held the
top of a strange crystal skull.

1124
01:05:54,014 --> 01:05:57,583
A second search uncovered
a matching jaw.

1125
01:05:57,617 --> 01:06:01,787
The two-piece skull weighed
11 pounds, seven ounces and

1126
01:06:01,822 --> 01:06:06,125
appeared to be carved from a
single piece of rock crystal.

1127
01:06:06,126 --> 01:06:10,162
It's the only crystal skull which
is almost perfectly humanoid.

1128
01:06:10,230 --> 01:06:13,799
It's the only crystal skull
which has a detachable jaw, and

1129
01:06:13,867 --> 01:06:16,535
when I say "almost perfectly
humanoid," the one thing which

1130
01:06:16,570 --> 01:06:20,039
is missing is the
sutures on the cranium.

1131
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:22,908
It has a perfect cranium.

1132
01:06:22,943 --> 01:06:26,078
So it almost suggests that, even
though it's a human crystal

1133
01:06:26,113 --> 01:06:29,348
skull, those who were carving it
somehow felt that this creature

1134
01:06:29,382 --> 01:06:30,349
was not born.

1135
01:06:30,383 --> 01:06:34,086
It somehow came into
this world perfectly.

1136
01:06:34,121 --> 01:06:37,022
The skull's appearance
created an immediate

1137
01:06:37,090 --> 01:06:39,625
sensation among the local tribesmen.

1138
01:06:39,659 --> 01:06:43,362
When the natives saw it, it was
like their god had returned.

1139
01:06:43,396 --> 01:06:46,599
They all started crying and
kissing the earth and everything.

1140
01:06:46,633 --> 01:06:50,269
They were just so excited, and
Mitchell-Hedges seeing this, he

1141
01:06:50,303 --> 01:06:54,540
presented it to the high priest
and they put it in an altar, and

1142
01:06:54,574 --> 01:07:01,013
for 24 hours a day they burned flames
around the, the crystal skull.

1143
01:07:01,081 --> 01:07:05,217
The Mayan elders believed
that, in ancient times,

1144
01:07:05,252 --> 01:07:10,189
13 crystal skulls were buried in
secret places around the world.

1145
01:07:10,223 --> 01:07:13,792
Currently it is claimed
that seven have been found.

1146
01:07:13,793 --> 01:07:17,930
Four are in private collections
and one each in the British

1147
01:07:17,964 --> 01:07:23,002
Museum, the Smithsonian, and the
Quai Branly Museum in Paris.

1148
01:07:23,036 --> 01:07:25,938
All have been the focus
of intense examination,

1149
01:07:26,006 --> 01:07:29,875
speculation, and even worship.

1150
01:07:29,910 --> 01:07:33,279
A lot of natives and a lot of people

1151
01:07:33,346 --> 01:07:36,916
working with crystal skulls say
that the high quartz content

1152
01:07:36,983 --> 01:07:40,886
skulls and especially the quartz
skulls themselves is the highest

1153
01:07:40,921 --> 01:07:46,458
frequency or energy or vibration
possible on the physical plane,

1154
01:07:46,493 --> 01:07:49,995
and so a lot of native people
kind of worshipped or took care

1155
01:07:50,030 --> 01:07:54,300
of these objects because they
knew that they had or felt that

1156
01:07:54,334 --> 01:07:59,572
they had the highest energy
possible on the earth plane.

1157
01:08:01,708 --> 01:08:08,280
But what are the exact origins of
these mysterious crystal skulls?

1158
01:08:08,348 --> 01:08:11,483
Since their discovery,
scientific tests have

1159
01:08:11,518 --> 01:08:14,920
determined that the two owned
by the British Museum and the

1160
01:08:14,955 --> 01:08:19,925
Quai Branly were not authentic
pre-Columbian artifacts.

1161
01:08:19,960 --> 01:08:25,097
Could it be that the Mitchell-
Hedges skull was also a fake?

1162
01:08:25,131 --> 01:08:29,902
In the 1960s it underwent
extensive testing by art curator

1163
01:08:29,936 --> 01:08:32,538
Frank Dorland and the
Hewlett- Packard Company.

1164
01:08:32,606 --> 01:08:35,975
They used the most advanced
stuff that they had.

1165
01:08:36,009 --> 01:08:40,179
They could not find any marks
on it except for around the jaw

1166
01:08:40,213 --> 01:08:42,648
and, I think, a little bit
around the eyes-- the only place

1167
01:08:42,716 --> 01:08:46,385
they saw tool marks
using their techniques.

1168
01:08:46,419 --> 01:08:49,288
At the time, Hewlett-Packard
found that the temperature

1169
01:08:49,356 --> 01:08:52,558
always stays about the same
temperature, no matter if it's

1170
01:08:52,626 --> 01:08:54,093
in hot or cold.

1171
01:08:54,160 --> 01:08:56,929
It was carved against the
lines of the crystal.

1172
01:08:56,963 --> 01:09:00,633
If anybody tried to do that, it
would break into a thousand pieces.

1173
01:09:00,667 --> 01:09:05,104
It's made out of a high level of
electronic crystal, and they're

1174
01:09:05,171 --> 01:09:08,007
not really sure exactly
where it came from.

1175
01:09:08,041 --> 01:09:12,011
If you listen to the academics,
crystal skulls are

1176
01:09:12,045 --> 01:09:16,115
all modern fabrications, meaning
somebody has gone on there with

1177
01:09:16,182 --> 01:09:20,119
a wheel and has carved them as
such, and this is where the big

1178
01:09:20,153 --> 01:09:23,589
divide is between established
academics and alternative

1179
01:09:23,657 --> 01:09:27,459
researchers like myself, who
feel that the academics are not

1180
01:09:27,494 --> 01:09:29,928
using all the available evidence
to draw their conclusions, and,

1181
01:09:29,996 --> 01:09:32,298
in short, we believe that the
academics are wrong in their

1182
01:09:32,332 --> 01:09:33,999
conclusions.

1183
01:09:38,705 --> 01:09:42,941
Are these skulls really
ancient artifacts?

1184
01:09:43,009 --> 01:09:47,513
And if not, who or what carved them?

1185
01:09:47,514 --> 01:09:51,050
Crystal skulls, according
to certain stories,

1186
01:09:51,084 --> 01:09:54,586
yes, they are alien artifacts.

1187
01:09:54,621 --> 01:09:58,624
Even some people think they're
made on another planet.

1188
01:10:01,428 --> 01:10:04,963
I think there are links
between crystal skulls and

1189
01:10:05,031 --> 01:10:08,067
extraterrestrials, not
necessarily that they were

1190
01:10:08,134 --> 01:10:11,236
carved and created by
extraterrestrials.

1191
01:10:11,271 --> 01:10:14,973
I've been told they were created
by humans, but they were created

1192
01:10:15,041 --> 01:10:20,212
specifically to hold records
from alien civilizations.

1193
01:10:20,246 --> 01:10:23,515
Could there actually
be some type of coded

1194
01:10:23,583 --> 01:10:27,252
information stored
inside these skulls?

1195
01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:31,056
And if there is, how
could it be retrieved?

1196
01:10:31,124 --> 01:10:34,426
There is a legend that
there were 13 skulls and

1197
01:10:34,461 --> 01:10:39,064
that when the 13 skulls come
together, then something

1198
01:10:39,099 --> 01:10:43,168
significant will change in the world.

1199
01:10:43,236 --> 01:10:46,872
Legends suggest that
there are 12 additional

1200
01:10:46,906 --> 01:10:52,778
worlds out there, planets which are
inhabited by intelligent species.

1201
01:10:52,779 --> 01:10:59,251
Now, we belong to those worlds
or to those planets, and our

1202
01:10:59,319 --> 01:11:05,491
planet Earth is called
"planet of the children."

1203
01:11:05,492 --> 01:11:11,430
They also suggest that these 13
crystal skulls that allegedly

1204
01:11:11,464 --> 01:11:17,903
exist on planet Earth were each
brought here from one of those

1205
01:11:17,937 --> 01:11:26,078
12 planets... and the 13th skull
is the one that apparently

1206
01:11:26,146 --> 01:11:32,084
contains all of the information
of all those 12 different worlds.

1207
01:11:32,152 --> 01:11:35,254
Within each crystal
skull, information is

1208
01:11:35,288 --> 01:11:38,657
stored, and in fact IBM has
shown that, too, that quartz

1209
01:11:38,725 --> 01:11:43,662
crystal can store millions of
gigabytes of information, and,

1210
01:11:43,730 --> 01:11:48,167
in fact, any quartz crystal or a
crystal skull could hold much

1211
01:11:48,201 --> 01:11:53,639
more information than any
computer we have now.

1212
01:11:53,673 --> 01:11:57,709
So when these crystal skulls
would be brought together, they

1213
01:11:57,744 --> 01:12:05,117
begin to interface with each other...
and ultimately a

1214
01:12:05,151 --> 01:12:10,289
greater knowledge and
information is condensed and

1215
01:12:10,356 --> 01:12:14,493
brought to us, and that's the
legend of the crystal skulls.

1216
01:12:14,527 --> 01:12:18,564
But as ancient astronaut
theorists maintain,

1217
01:12:18,598 --> 01:12:23,302
why would visiting aliens have given
the crystal skull to the Maya?

1218
01:12:23,369 --> 01:12:24,570
To what purpose?

1219
01:12:24,604 --> 01:12:27,506
The skull is a very important
motif for the Mayans.

1220
01:12:27,574 --> 01:12:30,642
When you look around the Mayan
monuments, you see skulls carved

1221
01:12:30,677 --> 01:12:32,911
pretty much everywhere.

1222
01:12:32,946 --> 01:12:36,114
They use it for some of the
notations for calendars.

1223
01:12:36,182 --> 01:12:40,219
And it is the Mayan calendar
that many people refer

1224
01:12:40,286 --> 01:12:44,223
to when discussing the
possibility of a new Armageddon.

1225
01:12:44,257 --> 01:12:47,593
Are the skulls somehow linked to this?

1226
01:12:47,627 --> 01:12:52,564
The current keeper of the Mitchell-Hedges
skull believes they are.

1227
01:12:52,599 --> 01:12:56,034
We've got 2012 just a few years away.

1228
01:12:56,069 --> 01:12:59,137
All these different things are
happening, the wars, et cetera,

1229
01:12:59,205 --> 01:13:02,674
and I think the skulls are
coming forward to do what they

1230
01:13:02,742 --> 01:13:04,309
were... they were made to do.

1231
01:13:04,344 --> 01:13:06,879
But are these skulls
the trigger that will

1232
01:13:06,946 --> 01:13:10,249
begin the dawn of a new era?

1233
01:13:10,283 --> 01:13:13,886
Or will they simply be used
as a tool by some form of

1234
01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:18,257
extraterrestrial intelligence to
guide mankind to its next stage

1235
01:13:18,324 --> 01:13:19,591
of evolution?

1236
01:13:19,659 --> 01:13:24,162
If so, is this intelligence
waiting and watching for the

1237
01:13:24,230 --> 01:13:25,764
right moment?

1238
01:13:25,798 --> 01:13:29,601
And from where exactly
could it be watching us?

1239
01:13:36,922 --> 01:13:43,561
If extraterrestrial beings do exist
in the universe, where are they?

1240
01:13:43,596 --> 01:13:47,232
That was the question posed by
Enrico Fermi, one of the leading

1241
01:13:47,299 --> 01:13:50,735
scientists of the 20th century.

1242
01:13:52,805 --> 01:13:56,875
Shortly after the Second
World War, the famous

1243
01:13:56,942 --> 01:14:00,678
physicist Enrico Fermi, who was
taking part in the Manhattan

1244
01:14:00,746 --> 01:14:03,915
Project to build the atomic
bomb, was talking at Los Alamos

1245
01:14:03,949 --> 01:14:08,052
with some friends about the
reports of flying saucers, and

1246
01:14:08,087 --> 01:14:13,525
Fermi suddenly said, in relation
to extraterrestrial intelligent

1247
01:14:13,592 --> 01:14:14,793
beings, "Where are they?"

1248
01:14:14,860 --> 01:14:18,329
And he was simply making the
point that if there was a

1249
01:14:18,397 --> 01:14:22,700
civilization somewhere in the
galaxy that had arisen, say, 100

1250
01:14:22,768 --> 01:14:26,070
million years ago, then they had
plenty of time to spread across

1251
01:14:26,105 --> 01:14:27,672
the galaxy.

1252
01:14:27,706 --> 01:14:31,409
Fermi said, "Gee, if
there's all of these

1253
01:14:31,444 --> 01:14:34,312
civilizations out there and all
of these planets out there,

1254
01:14:34,346 --> 01:14:36,981
where is everybody?"

1255
01:14:37,016 --> 01:14:40,518
The Fermi paradox, as
it became known, was an

1256
01:14:40,586 --> 01:14:44,722
attempt to explain the lack of
evidence of aliens despite the

1257
01:14:44,757 --> 01:14:47,592
mathematical probability
of their existence.

1258
01:14:47,626 --> 01:14:50,328
Up unto this point, to
modern time, no credible

1259
01:14:50,362 --> 01:14:53,898
scholar, no credible scientist
looks at any of the evidence

1260
01:14:53,933 --> 01:14:57,335
that ancient alien enthusiasts
put forth and say, "Yes, this is

1261
01:14:57,369 --> 01:14:59,070
evidence of ancient aliens."

1262
01:14:59,138 --> 01:15:01,172
No credible scholar does that.

1263
01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:04,342
Moreover, the whole SETI project-- the

1264
01:15:04,376 --> 01:15:07,011
Search for Extra-Terrestrial
Intelligence-- it's been going

1265
01:15:07,079 --> 01:15:10,381
on now for nearly 50 years.

1266
01:15:10,382 --> 01:15:14,452
The fact that we have found no
radio telescope evidence of

1267
01:15:14,487 --> 01:15:19,357
extraterrestrials plays very
much into the Fermi paradox in

1268
01:15:19,425 --> 01:15:25,196
that it further indicates: if
they're out there, why aren't

1269
01:15:25,231 --> 01:15:26,464
we hearing from them?

1270
01:15:26,499 --> 01:15:33,204
And we don't seem to
be hearing from them.

1271
01:15:33,272 --> 01:15:38,109
But in the 1960s, MIT
astrophysicist John Ball

1272
01:15:38,177 --> 01:15:40,645
rebutted Fermi's hypothesis with

1273
01:15:43,082 --> 01:15:44,816
the zoo hypothesis.

1274
01:15:44,850 --> 01:15:48,987
The zoo hypothesis says
that we are in a zoo, or a

1275
01:15:49,054 --> 01:15:53,992
wilderness area, that they have
essentially left alone and are

1276
01:15:54,059 --> 01:15:58,062
going to leave alone to allow us
to develop in our own way and at

1277
01:15:58,097 --> 01:15:59,531
our own rate.

1278
01:15:59,598 --> 01:16:04,135
Extraterrestrials have
detected us on Earth, but have

1279
01:16:04,169 --> 01:16:10,074
chosen not to come here, not to
invade, but rather to observe us

1280
01:16:10,142 --> 01:16:15,547
as we observe animals in the zoo.

1281
01:16:15,581 --> 01:16:19,250
They've thought, "We'll do a
study of those earthlings and

1282
01:16:19,285 --> 01:16:22,453
see what sort of
people they are."

1283
01:16:22,521 --> 01:16:24,455
Now, why would they do this?

1284
01:16:24,490 --> 01:16:27,926
Well, if on the one hand we
have nothing they want, that's

1285
01:16:27,960 --> 01:16:29,627
surely true.

1286
01:16:29,695 --> 01:16:33,464
And on the other hand, we
aren't able to interfere with

1287
01:16:33,532 --> 01:16:34,732
whatever they're doing.

1288
01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:36,634
That's also surely true.

1289
01:16:36,669 --> 01:16:39,370
They're out there doing their
own thing, and they're not

1290
01:16:39,438 --> 01:16:40,572
paying any attention to us.

1291
01:16:40,639 --> 01:16:47,545
And we're not clever enough to
eavesdrop on whatever they're doing.

1292
01:16:47,546 --> 01:16:50,014
That's the predicament we're in.

1293
01:16:50,049 --> 01:16:53,451
We have something that is
looking down and monitoring us.

1294
01:16:53,452 --> 01:16:57,922
We are on the Petri dish and
we can't get out far enough to

1295
01:16:57,957 --> 01:17:05,630
see what's behind those eyes
behind that microscope.

1296
01:17:07,066 --> 01:17:11,302
If aliens are watching us
right now, where are they?

1297
01:17:11,337 --> 01:17:14,839
Some believe they are sitting
out in space in what are called

1298
01:17:14,873 --> 01:17:18,443
"Lagrange points named after
mathematician and astronomer

1299
01:17:18,477 --> 01:17:23,414
Joseph Lagrange, who
discovered them in 1772.

1300
01:17:23,449 --> 01:17:27,418
There are five of these points
between the sun, the Earth and

1301
01:17:27,453 --> 01:17:28,620
our moon.

1302
01:17:28,621 --> 01:17:31,189
Lagrange points are
points between two bodies

1303
01:17:31,223 --> 01:17:32,991
where the forces balance equally.

1304
01:17:33,025 --> 01:17:35,627
Think of, like, a seesaw when you
have one really heavy person

1305
01:17:35,694 --> 01:17:36,694
and one really light person.

1306
01:17:36,729 --> 01:17:39,097
There's a kind of balance point
in there, and that's what

1307
01:17:39,131 --> 01:17:41,299
a Lagrange point is.

1308
01:17:41,300 --> 01:17:45,436
Lagrange points is where we send
some of our own satellites.

1309
01:17:45,471 --> 01:17:48,406
And that's a point in space
where you can just sort of sit

1310
01:17:48,474 --> 01:17:50,808
there inert for millions of
years if you had to without

1311
01:17:50,843 --> 01:17:53,244
having to worry about
in course corrections.

1312
01:17:53,245 --> 01:17:56,981
If you go anywhere else in the
solar system, uh, then in

1313
01:17:57,016 --> 01:17:59,717
order to keep pace with Earth
as it orbits the sun, you've

1314
01:17:59,752 --> 01:18:03,187
got to continually
change your position.

1315
01:18:03,188 --> 01:18:05,189
So people have talked
about Lagrange points

1316
01:18:05,257 --> 01:18:07,458
as a place where a spacecraft
might hide out because

1317
01:18:07,493 --> 01:18:10,461
you don't have to do a lot
to stay in that spot.

1318
01:18:10,496 --> 01:18:14,032
It's sort of equally balanced
and you just get carried along.

1319
01:18:14,033 --> 01:18:17,468
If an extraterrestrial race would have

1320
01:18:17,503 --> 01:18:21,305
ever visited our solar system,
they would have placed a probe

1321
01:18:21,373 --> 01:18:26,310
in those specific points in
order to observe us, to record

1322
01:18:26,345 --> 01:18:27,545
us, what have you.

1323
01:18:27,579 --> 01:18:30,948
So, I mean, this is not
something that the ancient

1324
01:18:31,016 --> 01:18:32,850
astronaut theory has proposed.

1325
01:18:32,851 --> 01:18:37,755
This is, you know, university
professors, astrophysicists who

1326
01:18:37,790 --> 01:18:41,959
have proposed this.

1327
01:18:42,027 --> 01:18:44,862
Some argue that another
reason alien beings

1328
01:18:44,897 --> 01:18:48,232
have yet to reveal themselves
is because they don't yet

1329
01:18:48,300 --> 01:18:49,600
consider us worthy.

1330
01:18:49,635 --> 01:18:54,639
This forms the basis of John
Ball's jungle hypothesis.

1331
01:18:54,640 --> 01:18:59,877
The jungle hypothesis just
means that if you have

1332
01:18:59,912 --> 01:19:03,781
animals, such as ants, that live
in the jungle, no matter how

1333
01:19:03,816 --> 01:19:06,884
many of them you have, their
chances of ever having seen

1334
01:19:06,952 --> 01:19:09,954
a human being are very slim.

1335
01:19:09,955 --> 01:19:13,024
Not because we're hiding or
anything, but we just don't have

1336
01:19:13,058 --> 01:19:16,060
a reason to go into the
jungle and step on anthills.

1337
01:19:16,128 --> 01:19:21,065
So, the idea is that we are
probably related to advanced

1338
01:19:21,100 --> 01:19:25,236
extraterrestrial intelligence
similar to an anthill might be

1339
01:19:25,304 --> 01:19:27,038
related to humans.

1340
01:19:27,072 --> 01:19:30,575
And the fact that we've never
seen any extraterrestrial

1341
01:19:30,609 --> 01:19:35,079
intelligence is just we don't
have anything they want.

1342
01:19:35,114 --> 01:19:38,516
We could actually shake hands
with something that might

1343
01:19:38,584 --> 01:19:41,419
have been coming and going
on this planet for literally

1344
01:19:41,453 --> 01:19:46,624
thousands, perhaps millions, of
years, and has kept a distance

1345
01:19:46,658 --> 01:19:52,597
during the last age of man for
reasons unknown, and maybe is

1346
01:19:52,631 --> 01:19:57,869
waiting for us all to finally grow up.

1347
01:19:57,870 --> 01:20:00,905
One thing that can be
said with a great deal of

1348
01:20:00,939 --> 01:20:07,345
confidence is that, if the
contact is initiated by them,

1349
01:20:07,379 --> 01:20:11,716
they are going to be not only
superior to us, but greatly

1350
01:20:11,784 --> 01:20:15,219
superior to us.

1351
01:20:15,220 --> 01:20:19,524
They won't be just
beginners like we are.

1352
01:20:19,591 --> 01:20:26,397
They will be far more
advanced than we are.

1353
01:20:31,336 --> 01:20:34,672
Both the jungle and zoo
hypotheses propose that

1354
01:20:34,706 --> 01:20:39,243
alien beings are watching us,
but are, for the time being,

1355
01:20:39,278 --> 01:20:42,146
keeping their distance.

1356
01:20:42,181 --> 01:20:43,714
But what if they're not?

1357
01:20:43,782 --> 01:20:47,785
What if the alien mission was
to integrate with our society

1358
01:20:47,853 --> 01:20:50,087
in a way that avoids detection?

1359
01:20:50,122 --> 01:20:56,894
If so, might they be walking
among us right now?

1360
01:20:59,583 --> 01:21:02,585
According to the ancient
astronaut theory,

1361
01:21:02,653 --> 01:21:06,923
aliens may have come to Earth
for many reasons: to excavate,

1362
01:21:06,957 --> 01:21:12,228
to breed, to conquer,
or simply to explore.

1363
01:21:12,329 --> 01:21:14,964
Certainly, we want to go out
and find out about things

1364
01:21:15,032 --> 01:21:15,832
we don't know about.

1365
01:21:15,866 --> 01:21:16,699
We see the moon.

1366
01:21:16,734 --> 01:21:19,402
We want to go up to the moon
and find out more things about

1367
01:21:19,437 --> 01:21:21,638
it; we see Mars, we want to go there.

1368
01:21:21,672 --> 01:21:22,705
We want to go to Jupiter.

1369
01:21:22,706 --> 01:21:23,673
We send out our probes.

1370
01:21:23,707 --> 01:21:27,043
So, if aliens are something
like us, then perhaps they have

1371
01:21:27,077 --> 01:21:28,611
that same kind of motivation.

1372
01:21:28,679 --> 01:21:31,448
They just want to go learn.

1373
01:21:31,449 --> 01:21:34,584
Just like we exhibit
curiosity, there are

1374
01:21:34,618 --> 01:21:41,958
other species out there
that have the same trait.

1375
01:21:41,959 --> 01:21:45,161
It would be very egotistical
to think that we're the only

1376
01:21:45,229 --> 01:21:48,331
explorers in this galaxy.

1377
01:21:48,399 --> 01:21:52,168
I mean, that would be a very sad
statement to suggest we're the

1378
01:21:52,236 --> 01:21:59,442
only ones with a brain and want
to go out there and explore.

1379
01:21:59,477 --> 01:22:02,312
But while our own journeys
into space have been

1380
01:22:02,346 --> 01:22:06,082
brief and largely exploratory,
could other beings, traveling

1381
01:22:06,150 --> 01:22:09,352
millions of miles to
Earth, have stayed?

1382
01:22:09,420 --> 01:22:14,457
And, if so, might they
still be among us?

1383
01:22:14,458 --> 01:22:17,093
Many ancient astronaut
theorists think this

1384
01:22:17,161 --> 01:22:20,797
all happened in the past and the
extraterrestrials came here,

1385
01:22:20,831 --> 01:22:23,633
did this and did that, and then
they took off back to their own

1386
01:22:23,667 --> 01:22:25,668
planet.

1387
01:22:25,669 --> 01:22:28,605
But there's a lot of evidence
to show that extraterrestrials

1388
01:22:28,639 --> 01:22:33,376
who might have come here in
the past, they've never left.

1389
01:22:33,444 --> 01:22:37,814
They have bases somewhere on
the planet underneath the

1390
01:22:37,848 --> 01:22:42,418
oceans, inside mountains.

1391
01:22:42,453 --> 01:22:46,623
In South America, there is
very strong beliefs that many

1392
01:22:46,657 --> 01:22:52,896
UFOs come out of lakes and underwater.

1393
01:22:52,963 --> 01:22:57,600
Lake Titicaca and other lakes
in Peru and Bolivia and other

1394
01:22:57,635 --> 01:23:02,605
areas of South America have
some kind of underground,

1395
01:23:02,640 --> 01:23:09,712
underwater alien base
associated with them.

1396
01:23:11,649 --> 01:23:15,251
If aliens were coming to our
planet, there seems little

1397
01:23:15,319 --> 01:23:21,457
doubt that they would stop at
the moon on their way here.

1398
01:23:21,525 --> 01:23:26,329
The moon itself is kind
of the eye in the sky.

1399
01:23:26,363 --> 01:23:33,636
NASA says that the moon
is apparently hollow.

1400
01:23:33,671 --> 01:23:40,810
During the Apollo missions, the
command module crashed into the moon.

1401
01:23:40,878 --> 01:23:45,348
And the moon rang like
a bell for hours.

1402
01:23:45,382 --> 01:23:50,019
There are craters on the moon
which they cannot find a bottom

1403
01:23:50,087 --> 01:23:54,357
to, and it's thought, by
some researchers, that these

1404
01:23:54,391 --> 01:24:00,363
bottomless craters are
entrances inside our moon.

1405
01:24:05,369 --> 01:24:10,006
The whole enigma of the moon
gets weirder and weirder the

1406
01:24:10,074 --> 01:24:11,207
more you know it.

1407
01:24:11,275 --> 01:24:14,644
Was the moon actually brought
here from another solar system

1408
01:24:14,712 --> 01:24:18,381
and put into orbit around our planet?

1409
01:24:18,482 --> 01:24:22,118
Biologists say that life on
this planet could never have

1410
01:24:22,152 --> 01:24:25,088
occurred without our moon.

1411
01:24:25,122 --> 01:24:29,659
And the reason for that is that the
moon creates the tidal effect.

1412
01:24:29,727 --> 01:24:34,664
And without the effect of tides
and this rhythmic motion on the

1413
01:24:34,732 --> 01:24:42,205
oceans, life would never
have begun on this planet.

1414
01:24:46,410 --> 01:24:49,679
In my mind, the evidence is
there that the moon is a

1415
01:24:49,747 --> 01:24:56,319
gigantic spaceship in
orbit around our planet.

1416
01:24:56,387 --> 01:25:01,858
It's occupied by some
extraterrestrial race.

1417
01:25:01,892 --> 01:25:07,397
In many ways, it's much like
the George Lucas Death Star

1418
01:25:07,464 --> 01:25:09,932
<i>concept in Star Wars where</i>

1419
01:25:09,967 --> 01:25:14,037
they're building this artificial
moon that's capable, with

1420
01:25:14,104 --> 01:25:19,976
technology, of actually
destroying a planet.

1421
01:25:20,044 --> 01:25:23,379
But if alien beings are
using the moon as some

1422
01:25:23,414 --> 01:25:27,483
sort of satellite for
Earth observation, why?

1423
01:25:27,518 --> 01:25:29,752
What would be the purpose?

1424
01:25:29,787 --> 01:25:32,055
And where is the proof?

1425
01:25:32,122 --> 01:25:35,058
They would like to see us evolve.

1426
01:25:35,059 --> 01:25:41,230
You know, they are great masters, great...
avatars.

1427
01:25:41,265 --> 01:25:44,133
They are very high.

1428
01:25:44,134 --> 01:25:46,135
And so are we.

1429
01:25:46,170 --> 01:25:50,773
And we need to live
up to our potential.

1430
01:25:50,808 --> 01:25:56,779
We really need to live up to
our potential for all people.

1431
01:25:56,814 --> 01:25:58,781
Your attention please.

1432
01:25:58,816 --> 01:26:03,252
Today, we are living still,
as if we are alone in

1433
01:26:03,287 --> 01:26:07,790
the universe while hundreds and
thousands of people are seeing

1434
01:26:07,825 --> 01:26:13,262
unusual craft in the skies
as they did 5,000 years ago.

1435
01:26:13,263 --> 01:26:18,801
And so, in a way, the idea that
the ancient aliens would finally

1436
01:26:18,836 --> 01:26:24,807
be coming around full circle
all the way into the 21st

1437
01:26:24,842 --> 01:26:28,978
century...
Us trying to push open a truth

1438
01:26:29,012 --> 01:26:34,851
that governments have suppressed
in the 20th century, is really

1439
01:26:34,885 --> 01:26:39,789
very ironic.

1440
01:26:39,823 --> 01:26:42,325
There are many diverse
and conflicting theories

1441
01:26:42,426 --> 01:26:45,862
concerning the idea that alien
astronauts have been visiting

1442
01:26:45,896 --> 01:26:48,164
the earth for centuries.

1443
01:26:48,198 --> 01:26:52,869
But perhaps the proof lies in
the most obvious place of all:

1444
01:26:52,903 --> 01:26:56,139
right within ourselves.

1445
01:26:56,140 --> 01:27:00,243
Somewhere in our genes
it is coded that extra

1446
01:27:00,310 --> 01:27:04,647
terrestrials were here
thousands of years ago.

1447
01:27:04,648 --> 01:27:09,418
And it takes a certain time
before this message is open to

1448
01:27:09,486 --> 01:27:12,421
us, maybe in the brain.

1449
01:27:12,456 --> 01:27:15,591
I don't believe
extraterrestrials, E.T.s,

1450
01:27:15,659 --> 01:27:18,427
ancient astronauts are
the missing link.

1451
01:27:18,428 --> 01:27:21,798
I think what they very well
could be, they may be the

1452
01:27:21,832 --> 01:27:25,101
beginning of the link-- the link
that helped genetically alter

1453
01:27:25,135 --> 01:27:29,071
human beings, the link that
jump-started our civilization

1454
01:27:29,106 --> 01:27:30,439
the way we are today.

1455
01:27:30,440 --> 01:27:35,912
It's very possible they came
down here and saw some creature,

1456
01:27:35,946 --> 01:27:37,480
and they said, "You know what?

1457
01:27:37,514 --> 01:27:39,115
We're going to jump-start this."

1458
01:27:39,183 --> 01:27:43,586
It may take another ten million
years for this thing to become

1459
01:27:43,620 --> 01:27:45,755
smart and intelligent.

1460
01:27:45,823 --> 01:27:47,557
So they created us.

1461
01:27:47,558 --> 01:27:50,558
And we're smart and intelligent now,
aren't we?

1462
01:27:50,559 --> 01:27:54,434
